Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle technology, specifically relating to a tailgate outer panel assembly, tailgate structure, and vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] With technological advancements, passenger demands for vehicles are becoming increasingly diverse. Currently, SUVs on the market, especially those with lower rear heights, have relatively small tailgate openings due to the limited gap between the tailgate and roof. This results in a low vertical opening height for passengers loading and unloading items, leading to poor ergonomics and frequent passenger complaints.
[0003] Furthermore, when the tailgate is open, the bottom of the tailgate is relatively low off the ground, posing a risk of passengers bumping into it. Therefore, the existing tailgate structure struggles to meet the increasingly diverse needs of passengers. Moreover, the existing tailgate structure lacks structural strength and is prone to damage upon impact. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a tailgate outer panel assembly, tailgate structure, and vehicle, aiming to at least solve the technical problems of tailgates being easily bumped and damaged in the prior art.
[0005] In a first aspect of this utility model, a tailgate structure is provided, wherein the tailgate outer panel assembly includes:
[0006] The upper part of the outer panel includes a horizontal covering part and a vertical covering part that is bent and connected to the horizontal covering part. The horizontal covering part extends in the front-rear direction. The horizontal covering part is used to be installed on the top of the vehicle body and to cover the top of the door opening of the vehicle body. The vertical covering part is used to cover the rear of the door opening.
[0007] The lower component is connected below the vertical cover and extends in the vertical direction.
[0008] Optionally, the lower segment component includes:
[0009] The lower section of the outer panel extends in the vertical direction;
[0010] A reinforcing connecting section is connected between the upper section and the lower section of the outer plate in the vertical direction, and the reinforcing connecting section is bent forward and protrudes.
[0011] Optionally, the vertical covering portion and the lower section of the outer panel are both longer in the vertical direction than the length of the reinforcing connecting section in the vertical direction.
[0012] And / or,
[0013] An observation window is provided on the vertical cover.
[0014] In a second aspect of this utility model, a tailgate structure is also provided, the tailgate structure including a tailgate inner panel assembly and a tailgate outer panel assembly as described above, the tailgate inner panel assembly being installed on the front side of the tailgate outer panel assembly.
[0015] Optionally, the tailgate inner panel assembly includes:
[0016] The tailgate frame includes an inner tailgate panel and an extension panel. The inner tailgate panel is a frame structure and has reinforcing notches on both the left and right sides. The extension panel is matched and fixed in the reinforcing notches.
[0017] Multiple reinforcing components are installed on the inner panel of the tailgate.
[0018] Optionally, the plurality of said reinforcing components include:
[0019] A hinge reinforcement plate, the upper part of the outer plate is used to hinge to the vehicle body via a hinge, and the hinge reinforcement plate is disposed on the top of the inner panel of the tailgate and is used to correspond to the hinge;
[0020] The top support plate is located between the two hinge reinforcement plates in the left-right direction, and the top support plate is supported between the inner panel of the tailgate and the upper part of the outer panel.
[0021] Optionally, the inner panel of the tailgate is provided with a window, and the plurality of reinforcing components further include a top reinforcing plate and a middle reinforcing plate respectively disposed at the upper and lower ends of the window, wherein the top reinforcing plate and the middle reinforcing plate extend in the left-right direction.
[0022] Optionally, the plurality of reinforcing components further include a lock mounting reinforcement plate, which is installed at the bottom of the tailgate inner panel and is used for a door lock corresponding to the tailgate structure.
[0023] Optionally, the plurality of reinforcing components further include a strut reinforcement plate, the tailgate structure being connected to the vehicle body via the strut structure, and the strut reinforcement being mounted on the inner panel of the tailgate and corresponding to the strut structure.
[0024] In a third aspect of this utility model, a vehicle is also provided, the vehicle including a body with a door opening and a tailgate structure as described above, the tailgate structure being installed at the door opening, a top cover being provided on the top of the body, and a gap being formed between the lateral cover and the top cover.
[0025] The tailgate outer panel assembly includes a horizontal cover that covers the top of the tailgate opening and a vertical cover that covers the rear of the tailgate opening. The horizontal and vertical covers are bent and connected to form an L-shaped structure. Compared with the existing tailgate structure that only covers the rear of the tailgate opening and can only be opened from the rear, the tailgate outer panel assembly can cover the top and rear of the tailgate opening when closed, and can open both the top and rear of the tailgate opening when open. This allows for a greater degree of opening and a higher vertical height of the tailgate opening, facilitating loading and unloading of items for passengers and preventing collisions between passengers and the tailgate outer panel assembly. At the same time, the lower end of the upper section of the outer panel is connected to a lower section component, making the vertical structure of the tailgate outer panel assembly segmented. This avoids the low structural strength caused by a single piece of structure and improves the structural strength of the tailgate outer panel assembly. The tailgate outer panel assembly of this utility model, through the upper part of the L-shaped outer panel, allows the top and rear of the door opening to be open simultaneously, resulting in a larger opening size in the height direction of the door opening. This facilitates loading and unloading of items for passengers, avoids the risk of collision, has better ergonomics, and improves customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the segmented tailgate outer panel assembly ensures structural strength and can prevent damage to the tailgate outer panel assembly due to collision.

[0045] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0046] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes a tailgate outer panel assembly 1 according to the present invention.
[0047] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the tailgate outer panel assembly 1 in this embodiment includes an upper section 11 and a lower section assembly. The upper section 11 includes a lateral covering portion 111 and a vertical covering portion 112 that is bent and connected to the lateral covering portion 111. The lateral covering portion 111 extends in the front-rear direction and is used to be installed on the top of the vehicle body 3 and cover the top of the door opening 31 of the vehicle body 3. The vertical covering portion 112 is used to cover the rear of the door opening 31. The lower section assembly is connected to the lower part of the vertical covering portion 112 and extends in the up-down direction.
[0048] It should be noted that the tailgate outer panel assembly 1 in this embodiment can be made of steel, or it may be made of aluminum, plastic, or other materials. The tailgate outer panel assembly 1 is mainly used in SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles).
[0049] The tailgate outer panel assembly 1 in this embodiment includes a horizontal covering part 111 that can cover the top of the door opening 31 and a vertical covering part 112 that can cover the rear of the door opening 31. The horizontal covering part 111 and the vertical covering part 112 are bent and connected to form an L-shaped structure. Compared with the prior art tailgate structure that only covers the rear of the door opening 31 and can only open the rear of the door opening 31, the tailgate outer panel assembly 1 can cover the top and rear of the door opening 31 in the closed state, and can open the top and rear of the door opening 31 in the open state. It can open the door opening 31 to a greater extent, making the vertical height of the door opening 31 higher, which can facilitate passengers to load and unload items and avoid collisions between passengers and the tailgate outer panel assembly 1. At the same time, the lower end of the upper section 11 of the outer panel is connected to the lower section component, which sets the vertical of the tailgate outer panel assembly 1 to a segmented form, which can avoid the situation of low structural strength caused by the whole structure and improve the structural strength of the tailgate outer panel assembly 1. In this embodiment, the tailgate outer panel assembly 1, through the upper part 11 of the L-shaped outer panel, allows the top and rear of the door opening 31 to be open simultaneously, resulting in a larger opening size in the height direction of the door opening 31. This facilitates loading and unloading of items by passengers, avoids the risk of collision, has better ergonomics, and improves customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the segmented tailgate outer panel assembly 1 ensures structural strength and prevents damage to the tailgate outer panel assembly 1 due to collision.
[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the lower section assembly includes a lower outer panel section 12 and a reinforcing connecting plate. The lower outer panel section 12 extends vertically. The reinforcing connecting section 13 connects the upper outer panel section 11 and the lower outer panel section 12 vertically, and the reinforcing connecting section 13 bends forward and protrudes. In this embodiment, the tailgate outer panel assembly 1 has a three-section structure. The upper outer panel section 11 at the top is L-shaped, and the reinforcing connecting section 13 in the middle bends and protrudes into the vehicle body 3. The upper end of the reinforcing connecting section 13 connects to the vertical cover section 112, and the lower end of the reinforcing connecting section 13 connects to the lower outer panel section 12, which can improve the structural strength of the connection between the upper outer panel section 11 and the lower outer panel section 12. In one embodiment, the cross-section of the reinforcing connecting plate can be U-shaped. In other embodiments, the shape of the reinforcing connecting plate can be set according to actual usage requirements.
[0051] It should be noted that the vertical cover portion 112 and the lower section of the outer panel 12 are both longer in the vertical direction than the reinforcing connecting section 13. Furthermore, the vertical cover portion 112 has an observation window, which in this embodiment extends horizontally with rounded corners. In this embodiment, the vertical cover portion 112 and the lower section of the outer panel 12, as the main components of the vertical cover, are longer than the reinforcing connecting section 13, providing a larger installation area and improving the ease of installation for other components. Specifically, the reinforcing connecting section 13 and the vertical cover portion 112 can be welded together, and the reinforcing connecting section 13 and the lower section of the outer panel 12 can also be welded together, so that the upper section 11 and the lower section assembly of the outer panel are welded together to form the tailgate outer panel assembly 1, resulting in high structural strength.
[0052] In a second aspect of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, a tailgate structure is also provided, comprising an inner tailgate panel assembly 2 and an outer tailgate panel assembly 1 as described above. The inner tailgate panel assembly 2 is installed on the front side of the outer tailgate panel assembly 1. The tailgate structure can be made of steel, aluminum, plastic, or other materials. In this embodiment, the tailgate structure may include a three-section outer tailgate panel assembly 1, with the inner tailgate panel assembly 2 supported and installed on the front side of the outer tailgate panel assembly 1, forming a double-layer structure with inner and outer layers, thus improving the structural strength of the tailgate structure. In one embodiment, the inner tailgate panel assembly 2 and the outer tailgate panel assembly 1 can be assembled into a tailgate structure via roller edge assembly. In other embodiments, the inner tailgate panel assembly 2 and the outer tailgate panel assembly 1 can be connected by other methods. In this embodiment, the structure of the inner tailgate panel assembly 2 matches the outer tailgate panel assembly 1, and the observation window of the outer tailgate panel assembly 1 corresponds to the window on the inner tailgate panel assembly 2, facilitating the subsequent installation of the rear windshield.
[0053] Specifically, the tailgate inner panel assembly 2 includes a tailgate frame and multiple reinforcing components. The tailgate frame includes a tailgate inner panel 21 and extension plates 22. The tailgate inner panel 21 is a frame structure with reinforcing notches on both the left and right sides. The extension plates 22 are fixed within the reinforcing notches. Multiple reinforcing components are installed on the tailgate inner panel 21. In this embodiment, the tailgate inner panel 21 can be an integral frame structure with reinforcing notches on both the left and right sides. The extension plates 22 match the shapes of the reinforcing notches. The two extension plates 22 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the tailgate inner panel 21, which can reduce the overall width of the tailgate inner panel 21 and reduce the stamping and stretching depth of the tailgate inner panel 21. This can effectively prevent cracking of the tailgate inner panel 21 during forming, improve the yield rate of the tailgate inner panel 21, and increase the service life of the tailgate inner panel 21. In this embodiment, the extension plates 22 can be bent to form a protruding structure, which can improve the structural strength of the tailgate inner panel assembly 2 in the front-rear direction. Multiple reinforcing components can form local patches relative to the tailgate inner panel 21, thereby increasing the strength of the tailgate inner panel assembly 2.
[0054] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, multiple reinforcing components include a hinge reinforcement plate 23 and a top support plate 24. The upper section 11 of the outer plate is used for hinge connection with the vehicle body 3 via a hinge. The hinge reinforcement plate 23 is disposed on the top of the tailgate inner panel 21 and serves as a corresponding hinge. The top support plate 24 is located between the two hinge reinforcement plates 23 in the left-right direction and supports the tailgate inner panel and the upper section 11 of the outer plate. The hinge reinforcement plate 23 is provided with a reinforcing bend that matches the tailgate inner panel 21, so that the hinge reinforcement plate 23 and the tailgate inner panel 21 are in surface contact, which can improve the structural strength of the tailgate inner panel assembly 2. In this embodiment, in addition to improving the strength of the tailgate inner panel assembly 2, the top support plate 24 at least partially supports the tailgate outer panel assembly 1 on its rear side, and can also improve the rigidity of the tailgate outer panel assembly 1. In this embodiment, the hinge reinforcement plate 23 is disposed on the front side of the tailgate inner panel 21, which can cooperate to form a double-layer plate structure, thus improving the structural strength of the hinge mounting point.
[0055] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the tailgate inner panel 21 has a window, and multiple reinforcing components include a top reinforcing plate 25 and a middle reinforcing plate 26 respectively disposed at the upper and lower ends of the window. Both the top reinforcing plate 25 and the middle reinforcing plate 26 extend in the left-right direction. The top reinforcing plate 25 can be disposed on the front side of the tailgate inner panel 21, forming a double-layer plate structure with the tailgate inner panel 21 to improve the structural strength of the upper side of the window. In this embodiment, the middle reinforcing plate 26 can be provided with a forward-protruding protrusion structure. Multiple protrusion structures are arranged alternately in the left-right direction to further improve the structural strength below the window. In this embodiment, the top reinforcing plate 25 is disposed near the upper edge of the window, and the middle reinforcing plate 26 is disposed near the lower edge of the window. In this embodiment, the window extends in the left-right direction.
[0056] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the multiple reinforcing components also include a lock mounting reinforcing plate 27, which is installed at the bottom of the tailgate inner panel 21 and serves as the door lock corresponding to the tailgate structure. Furthermore, the multiple reinforcing components also include a strut reinforcing plate 28, which connects the tailgate structure to the vehicle body 3 via a strut structure 4. The strut reinforcement is installed on the tailgate inner panel 21 and serves as the strut structure 4. In this embodiment, the lock mounting reinforcing plate 27 is located at the bottom center of the tailgate inner panel 21. The lock mounting reinforcing plate 27 and the tailgate inner panel 21 are surface-fitted, forming a double-layer plate structure to improve the structural strength of the door lock mounting point. In this embodiment, a mounting cavity for the strut structure 4 can be formed between the strut reinforcing plate 28 and the tailgate inner panel 21, improving the installation strength of the strut structure 4. The strut structure 4 can be an electric strut or other strut structure 4. In one embodiment, the multiple reinforcing components include at least one or more of the following: hinge reinforcing plate 23, top support plate 24, top reinforcing plate 25, middle reinforcing plate 26, lock mounting reinforcing plate 27, and strut reinforcing plate 28. By combining these multiple reinforcing components with the tailgate inner panel 21, the structural strength of the tailgate inner panel assembly 2 can be greatly improved. The high-strength tailgate inner panel assembly 2, combined with the three-section tailgate outer panel assembly 1, can prevent damage to the tailgate structure due to collisions.
[0057] The tailgate assembly method for the tailgate structure can be:
[0058] The upper section 11 and the lower section of the outer panel are assembled to form the tailgate outer panel assembly 1;
[0059] The tailgate inner panel 21 and the extension panel 22 are assembled to form the inner panel frame;
[0060] Multiple reinforcing components and inner panel frames are assembled to form the tailgate inner panel assembly 2;
[0061] The tailgate outer panel assembly 1 and the tailgate inner panel assembly 2 are assembled to form the tailgate structure.
[0062] In this embodiment, the tailgate outer panel assembly 1 and the tailgate inner panel assembly 2 are assembled separately into independent assemblies, and then the tailgate inner panel assembly 2 and the tailgate outer panel assembly 1 are assembled as a whole. This can avoid the tailgate outer panel assembly 1 and the tailgate inner panel assembly 2 from affecting each other during the assembly process, facilitate the assembly of individual assemblies, and improve the assembly efficiency of the tailgate structure.
[0063] Specifically, in one embodiment, the tailgate assembly method of the tailgate structure can be:
[0064] Weld the upper section 11 of the outer panel, the reinforcing connecting section 13, and the lower section 12 of the outer panel together to form the tailgate outer panel assembly 1;
[0065] The tailgate inner panel 21 and extension plate 22 are welded together to form the inner panel frame;
[0066] The lock mounting reinforcement plate 27 and the top support plate 24 are welded to the inner panel 21 of the tailgate.
[0067] The hinge reinforcement plate 23, the top reinforcement plate 25, and the strut reinforcement plate 28 are welded to the tailgate inner panel 21 to form the tailgate inner panel assembly 2.
[0068] The tailgate outer panel assembly 1 and the tailgate inner panel assembly 2 are rolled together to form the tailgate assembly.
[0069] After the tailgate assembly is assembled, it can be installed on the vehicle body 3, and after electrophoresis, it will be sent to the final assembly. On the final assembly, various parts such as tailgate electric struts, interior and exterior trim panels, etc. are assembled, and the entire production process is completed.
[0070] In a third aspect of this utility model, a vehicle is also provided. The vehicle includes a body 3 with a door opening 31 and a tailgate structure as described above. The tailgate structure is installed at the door opening 31. A roof is provided on the top of the body 3, and a gap is formed between the lateral cover 111 and the roof. The vehicle in this embodiment can be applied to SUVs or other models. The gap formed between the lateral cover 111 and the roof at the top of the body 3 allows the top of the door opening 31 to be opened when the tailgate structure is in the open state, facilitating passengers to carry items inside the door opening 31.
