Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, and more specifically, it relates to a novel tailgate hinge mounting reinforcement structure. Background Technology

[0002] The tailgate hinge mounting reinforcement structure is located inside the D-pillar cavity at the rear of the vehicle. Its main function is to provide mounting points for the tailgate hinge and, through its own structure, provide sufficient support strength for the tailgate, thus strengthening the overall vehicle body. The existing tailgate hinge mounting reinforcement structure consists of two parts: the upper tailgate hinge mounting plate, which also provides a carrier for the mounting nut; and the lower tailgate hinge mounting plate, which together form a box-shaped structure. The existing tailgate hinge technology has the following problems: 1. The upper and lower tailgate hinge mounting plates are connected by the side, with the middle section being a hollow structure without a connecting structure, resulting in weak structural strength. 2. The tailgate hinge mounting reinforcement structure is a tubular structure, making it difficult to add reinforcement to the middle section, limiting the overall expandability of the structure. 3. The mounting nut is located inside the cavity of the reinforcement structure; if there is a problem with incomplete welding of the nut, it is not easily detected from the outside of the cavity, making inspection inconvenient. 4. The mounting nut is a standard part with a fixed nut base size, requiring ample space around the nut; when the surrounding space is insufficient, the nut cannot be properly installed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a novel tailgate hinge mounting reinforcement structure. This structure uses a threaded sleeve to replace the original mounting nut, ensuring the original mounting function while providing support for the middle of the tailgate hinge and strengthening the overall structure. The threaded sleeve protrudes beyond the mounting plate, allowing for visual inspection to check for any incomplete welding. The size of the threaded sleeve base can be adjusted according to the surrounding space, solving the problem of space constraints.

[0004] The aforementioned novel tailgate hinge mounting reinforcement structure includes a main body, which is composed of an upper mounting plate and a lower mounting plate, which are interlocked and fixed together. Multiple threaded sleeves are fixed between the upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate, and the threaded sleeves are connected to the outer walls of the upper and lower mounting plates, with one end of the threaded sleeve protruding to the side of the lower mounting plate facing away from the upper mounting plate. The surfaces of both the upper and lower mounting plates are provided with multiple structural through holes.

[0005] Preferably, the surface of the mounting plate is provided with multiple sets of first mounting through holes extending from one side to the other, and the first mounting through holes are adapted to the threaded sleeve.

[0006] Preferably, a plurality of first structural through holes and second structural through holes are provided at positions adjacent to the first mounting through hole, wherein the first through hole is located in the middle of the mounting plate.

[0007] Preferably, the surface of the mounting plate is provided with multiple sets of second mounting through holes, and the second mounting through holes, the first mounting through holes, and the threaded sleeve are on the same straight line.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of third structural through holes and fourth structural through holes are provided at positions adjacent to the second mounting through hole; wherein, the third structural through holes and the first structural through hole are on the same straight line.

[0009] Preferably, multiple mounting slots are provided at positions adjacent to the third structural through hole.

[0010] Preferably, the upper mounting plate has a plurality of first side holes on its side wall; the lower mounting plate has a second side hole that matches the first side holes on its side wall.

[0011] Preferably, the surfaces of the upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate are provided with a plurality of matching bends and narrow diameter sections.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. The original mounting nut was replaced with a threaded sleeve, which not only ensured the original installation function but also provided support for the middle part of the tailgate hinge, thus strengthening the overall structure.

[0014] 2. The threaded sleeve protrudes beyond the mounting plate, allowing for visual inspection to check for any missing welds.

[0015] 3. The size of the threaded sleeve base can be adjusted according to the surrounding space, which solves the problem of limited space. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0023] The directional terms used in the detailed description paragraphs are only for the convenience of those skilled in the art to understand the technical solutions described in this application based on the visual orientation shown in the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setting," "installation," "connection," etc., should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a novel tailgate hinge mounting reinforcement structure includes a main body 1, which is composed of an upper mounting plate 2 and a lower mounting plate 3, which are interlocked and fixed together. Multiple threaded sleeves 4 are fixed between the upper mounting plate 2 and the lower mounting plate 3, and the threaded sleeves 4 communicate with the outer walls of the upper mounting plate 2 and the lower mounting plate 3, with one end of the threaded sleeve 4 protruding to the side of the lower mounting plate 3 facing away from the upper mounting plate 2. The surfaces of both the upper mounting plate 2 and the lower mounting plate 3 are provided with multiple structural through holes. By using threaded sleeves 4 instead of the mounting nuts used in the prior art, the original box-shaped structure composed of the upper mounting plate 2 and the lower mounting plate 3 is changed. While ensuring the original mounting function, the threaded sleeves 4 increase the connection support position between the upper mounting plate 2 and the lower mounting plate 3, providing support for the connection and thus improving the connection strength between the upper mounting plate 2 and the lower mounting plate 3. Simultaneously, by adding structural through holes to the surfaces of the upper mounting plate 2 and the lower mounting plate 3, the overall stability can be improved by dispersing stress, further enhancing the overall strength. In addition, one end of the threaded sleeve 4 protrudes beyond the mounting plate 3, allowing visual inspection to determine if any fixing points of the threaded sleeve 4 have been missed. This not only effectively improves the installation yield rate but also avoids potential installation hazards.

[0025] Optionally, one end of the threaded sleeve 4 abuts against and is fixed to the inner wall of the upper mounting plate 2, while the other end protrudes to the outer wall of the lower mounting plate 3.

[0026] Optionally, the fixing method between the upper mounting plate 2, the lower mounting plate 3, and the threaded sleeve 4 may include, but is not limited to, carbon dioxide shielded welding.

[0027] like Figure 4As shown, one end of the threaded sleeve 4 is provided with a base 41, and the base 41 has various specifications that can be adjusted according to actual use. In this way, the base 41 of the threaded sleeve 4 can be selected in different specifications according to the size of the surrounding space, which solves the problem of space limitation caused by using a standard nut base 41 that is too large.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the surface of the mounting plate 2 is provided with multiple sets of first mounting through holes 21 extending from one side to the other, and the first mounting through holes 21 are adapted to the threaded sleeve 4. In this way, the threaded sleeve 4 and the first mounting through holes 21 are on the same straight line and aligned with each other, so that other connecting components (such as screws, etc.) can pass through the mounting plate 2 and connect with the threaded sleeve 4.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple first structural through holes 22 and second structural through holes 23 are provided adjacent to the first mounting through hole 21, wherein the first through holes are located in the middle of the mounting plate 2. In this way, the stress generated by the mounting plate 2 during operation can be effectively distributed through the first structural through holes 22 and second structural through holes 23, thereby improving the structural stability of the mounting plate 2.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the surface of the lower mounting plate 3 is provided with multiple sets of second mounting through holes 31, and the second mounting through holes 31 are collinear with the first mounting through hole 21 and the threaded sleeve 4. In this way, the second mounting through holes 31 match the first mounting through hole 21 and are collinear with the first mounting through hole 21 and the threaded sleeve 4. This allows other connecting components (such as screws) to enter from one side of the upper mounting plate 2 or the lower mounting plate 3, and protrude through the threaded sleeve 4 to the other side of the lower mounting plate 3 or the upper mounting plate 2. Alternatively, other connecting components (such as screws) can pass through the upper mounting plate 2 or the lower mounting plate 3 and connect to the threaded sleeve 4.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, multiple third structural through holes 32 and fourth structural through holes 33 are provided adjacent to the second mounting through hole 31; wherein, the third structural through holes 32 and the first structural through hole 22 are on the same straight line. In this way, the stress generated by the mounting lower plate 3 during operation can be effectively distributed through the third structural through holes 32 and the fourth structural through holes 33, thereby improving the structural stability of the mounting lower plate 3.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, multiple mounting slots 34 are provided adjacent to the third structural through hole 32. These mounting slots facilitate the connection of the lower plate 3 with other structural components.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the upper mounting plate 2 has multiple first side holes 24 on its side wall; the lower mounting plate 3 has second side holes 35 that are adapted to the first side holes 24 on its side wall. In this way, the positions of the first side holes 24 on the upper mounting plate 2 and the second side holes 35 on the lower mounting plate 3 are matched, and they have the same stress-dispersing effect as the structural through holes, further improving the stability of the overall structure.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, the surfaces of the upper mounting plate 2 and the lower mounting plate 3 are provided with multiple matching bends 5 and narrow diameter sections 6. In this way, the bends 5 and narrow diameter sections 6 can, on the one hand, match the installation space, ensuring that the overall structure can move flexibly within the limited installation space. On the other hand, the bends 5 and narrow diameter sections 6 can further disperse structural stress, thereby improving the overall structural strength.

[0035] Finally, although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This way of describing the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
