Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile model display technology, and in particular to a tailgate opening structure for an automobile model. Background Technology

[0002] The tailgate, also known as the trunk lid, is a component at the rear of a car used to open and close the trunk. The tailgate opening structure is a crucial part of the car's body design; the opening height and size directly affect the ease of loading and unloading items, impacting the user experience. However, in existing car models, to avoid affecting the overall appearance, the tailgate opening structure does not expose the support rods, resulting in excessively short lever arms. This means the support rods cannot support the load, and at the same time, the force required for opening and closing the tailgate is relatively large, increasing the risk of injury from being pinched. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tailgate opening structure for a car model.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0005] A tailgate opening structure for a car model includes a rotating beam and a tailgate, with the tailgate connected to one end of the rotating beam. The structure is characterized in that a support rod is provided at the end of the rotating beam away from the tailgate, and two metal parts are connected to the two ends of the support rod, with the first metal part being connected to the rotating beam.

[0006] To prevent hole misalignment from affecting the assembly effect, an adjustment plate is connected to the end of the strut away from the rotating beam, and the surface of the adjustment plate has multiple adjustment holes.

[0007] Preferably, a C-pillar fixing bracket is provided on the side of the adjusting plate away from the support rod, and the C-pillar fixing bracket is connected to the metal part 2. The surface of the C-pillar fixing bracket has multiple connection holes and multiple C-pillar fixing holes.

[0008] Preferably, the number of adjustment holes and connection holes are the same, and the diameters are the same, so that the adjustment holes and connection holes can be aligned.

[0009] To improve the strength of the C-pillar fixing bracket, two support plates are provided on the side of the C-pillar fixing bracket away from the adjustment plate, and the two support plates are located at the corner of the C-pillar fixing bracket.

[0010] To improve the stability and smoothness of the tailgate opening and closing, a rotating rod is provided at one end of the rotating beam near the support rod, and the rotating rod passes through the rotating beam. A hinge fixing frame is provided on the outside of the rotating rod, and the rotating beam is located inside the hinge fixing frame.

[0011] Preferably, the surface of the hinge fixing frame is provided with multiple hinge fixing holes.

[0012] To optimize the stress on the strut, the connection points of metal parts one and two at both ends of the strut on the rotating beam and the adjusting plate are close to the center and center of gravity of the hinge structure consisting of the rotating rod, the hinge fixing frame and the rotating beam.

[0013] Beneficial effects: By installing a strut at one end of the rotating beam, the tailgate load can be supported with a smaller supporting force, reducing costs. It provides support when opening and provides buffering deceleration when closing, reducing manpower requirements and the risk of pinching injuries. Simultaneously, the strut's stroke range directly limits the maximum opening width of the tailgate. Controlling the tailgate opening width avoids the inconvenience of manual support, prevents contact with obstacles, and enhances the user experience. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] Combination Figures 1-4As shown, a tailgate opening structure for a car model includes a rotating beam 1 and a tailgate 2. The tailgate 2 is connected to one end of the rotating beam 1. The characteristic feature is that a support rod 3 is provided at the end of the rotating beam 1 away from the tailgate 2. Metal parts 4 and 5 are connected to both ends of the support rod 3, and metal parts 4 are connected to the rotating beam 1.

[0022] The end of the strut 3 away from the rotating beam 1 is connected to an adjusting plate 6, and the surface of the adjusting plate 6 has multiple adjusting holes 7.

[0023] Among them, the side of the adjusting plate 6 away from the support rod 3 is provided with a C-pillar fixing bracket 8, and the C-pillar fixing bracket 8 is connected to the metal part 2 5. The surface of the C-pillar fixing bracket 8 has multiple connecting holes 9 and multiple C-pillar fixing holes 10.

[0024] The number of adjustment holes 7 and the number of connection holes 9 are the same, and the diameters are the same. The adjustment holes 7 and the connection holes 9 can be aligned.

[0025] Among them, the side of the C-pillar fixing frame 8 away from the adjustment plate 6 is provided with two support plates 11, and the two support plates 11 are located at the corner of the C-pillar fixing frame 8.

[0026] Among them, a rotating rod 12 is provided at one end of the rotating beam 1 near the support rod 3, and the rotating rod 12 passes through the rotating beam 1. A hinge fixing frame 13 is provided on the outside of the rotating rod 12, and the rotating beam 1 is located on the inside of the hinge fixing frame 13.

[0027] The hinge fixing bracket 13 has multiple hinge fixing holes 14 on its surface.

[0028] Among them, the connection points of the metal parts 4 and 5 at both ends of the strut 3 on the rotating beam 1 and the adjusting plate 6 are close to the center and center of gravity of the hinge structure composed of the rotating rod 12, the hinge fixing frame 13 and the rotating beam 1.

[0029] When selecting strut 3, a strut of appropriate length and supporting force is chosen based on the opening angle requirements and weight of the tailgate 2. Initial length, maximum extension length, and stroke range are considered, taking into account both mechanical balance and structural compatibility, to ensure that strut 3 can support the load with minimal supporting force. When fixing strut 3, both ends are secured to the interior C-pillar and rotating beam 1 respectively using metal parts 4 and 5. The fixing points are chosen close to the center and center of gravity of the hinge structure formed by the rotating rod 12, hinge fixing bracket 13, and rotating beam 1, shortening the lever arm to reduce the force on strut 3. When the tailgate 2 is opened, the support rod 3 lifts one end of the rotating beam 1. Under the action of the hinge structure composed of the rotating rod 12, the hinge fixing frame 13 and the rotating beam 1, the other end of the rotating beam 1 will lift the tailgate 2, thus providing support for opening the tailgate 2. When the tailgate 2 is closed, the support rod 3 can provide buffering and deceleration under the action of the hinge structure composed of the rotating rod 12, the hinge fixing frame 13 and the rotating beam 1, reducing the need for manpower and reducing the risk of pinching.

[0030] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can understand that implementing all or part of the above-described embodiments and making equivalent changes in accordance with the claims of the present utility model are still within the scope of the utility model.
