Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pickup truck hoods, specifically relating to a waterproof hinge structure for hoods. Background Technology

[0002] Pickup trucks are an important part of the automotive market. A pickup truck is a type of vehicle that uses the front and cab of a sedan while having an open cargo bed. Its characteristics are that it has the comfort of a sedan, strong power, and is more capable of carrying cargo and adapting to bad roads than a sedan. The most common pickup truck model is the double-cab pickup. Pickup trucks can be used as special vehicles, multi-purpose vehicles, official vehicles, and commercial vehicles, as well as family vehicles for carrying cargo, tourism, and rental. The so-called "pickup truck" is a hybrid of sedan and truck. With the expansion of the number of modification enthusiasts, pickup truck modification is becoming an increasingly popular category among modification enthusiasts.

[0003] Existing pickup truck covers are divided into soft covers and hard covers. For hard covers, most are composed of multiple panels connected by a hinge system. However, hinge systems typically have the following problems in use:

[0004] 1. The rotation angle of the pivot is limited, the hood cannot be rotated 180°, and the rear cover cannot be stacked on the front cover after being rotated.

[0005] 2. The existing shaft system has poor waterproofing and is prone to leakage. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A hinged waterproof structure for a vehicle hood includes a first rotating plate, a second rotating plate, and a hinged hinge. Both the first and second rotating plates are connected to a hinged joint. The first and second rotating plates are connected by a hinged hinge, and the hinged hinge is limited by a limiting component.

[0008] The first rotating plate and the second rotating plate are connected to a top water-blocking strip and a side water-blocking strip on opposite sides. The two top water-blocking strips are provided with top water-blocking protrusions, and the two side water-blocking strips press against each other to form a water-draining channel.

[0009] The rotating shaft joint is provided with a joint bevel, which is connected to the bottom water outlet through a drain port.

[0010] By improving the structure of the rotating shaft, it has been made more waterproof, enabling waterproofing throughout the entire rotation process.

[0011] By setting four waterproof strips at the rotation position of the shaft, the four waterproof strips work together to provide waterproofing at any position of the shaft, eliminating any waterproof blind spots.

[0012] Furthermore, the limiting component includes limiting screws, and there are four limiting screws. The four limiting screws are respectively located on both sides of the hinge, two limiting screws are connected to the first rotating plate, and two limiting screws are connected to the second rotating plate. The four limiting screws limit the four corners of the hinge to prevent the hinge from sliding.

[0013] Furthermore, the limiting component includes two limiting blocks, which are respectively located on both sides of the hinge. One limiting block is connected to the first rotating plate, and the other limiting block is connected to the second rotating plate. The two limiting blocks are installed diagonally to limit the hinge and prevent the hinge from sliding.

[0014] Furthermore, the first rotating plate is provided with a first slot, a second slot, and a rotating groove. The first slot is used to connect the top water-blocking strip, the second slot is used to connect the side water-blocking strip, and the rotating groove is used to connect the hinge. The second rotating plate is also provided with a first slot, a second slot, and a rotating groove. The first slot is used to connect the top water-blocking strip, the second slot is used to connect the side water-blocking strip, and the rotating groove is used to connect the hinge. The hinge has two rotating shafts, which are respectively connected to the rotating grooves of the first and second rotating plates. By providing the first slot, the top water-blocking strip is connected to the rotating plate through engagement with the first slot. Similarly, by providing the second slot, the side water-blocking strip is connected to the rotating plate. Finally, it is connected to the hinge via the rotating groove. This connection method does not affect the use of the top and side water-blocking strips and facilitates their replacement.

[0015] Furthermore, the top water-blocking strip includes a central hole and a locking portion. The locking portion engages with the first slot. The central hole has two sides with top water-blocking protrusions, and the side of the central hole away from the locking portion has a pressing surface. The central hole allows for some deformation during pressing, ensuring a waterproof effect. Additionally, the protrusions on both sides of the central hole prevent water from flowing onto the side water-blocking strip. Due to the integrated structure of the hood, leakage is prevented; therefore, water is kept on the hood and prevented from entering the pivot area.

[0016] Furthermore, the side water-blocking strip includes a central hole and a locking portion. The locking portion engages with a second slot. A pressing surface is provided on the side of the central hole away from the locking portion of the top water-blocking strip. A support portion is provided on the upper side of the side water-blocking strip. The top water-blocking strip has a symmetrical structure, while the side water-blocking strips have an asymmetrical structure. Since the lower side is not waterproofed, but the top is, a dedicated support portion is provided at the top to cooperate with the top waterproofing strip.

[0017] Furthermore, the rotating shaft connector includes a left rotating shaft connector and a right rotating shaft connector. The left rotating shaft connector is connected to the first rotating plate via a connector plug, and the right rotating shaft connector is connected to the second rotating plate via a connector plug. The left and right rotating shaft connectors are mirror images of each other. The rotating shaft connector has a connector bevel, which is connected to the lower connecting part of the side water-blocking strip. The connector bevel is connected to the bottom water outlet via a drain port. By setting the connector bevel to connect the lower connecting part, since the two side water-blocking strips achieve waterproofing through compression sealing, the compression force is greater in the middle position, resulting in a better sealing and waterproofing effect. The waterproofing effect on both sides is slightly worse. Therefore, the lower connecting part on both sides is connected to the connector bevel for waterproofing, thereby improving the waterproofing effect.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1. This utility model improves the structure of the car cover's pivot, so that the cover plate can be completely stacked on another cover plate after being flipped over.

[0020] 2. Through improvements to the overall rotating shaft, this utility model not only achieves better sealing and waterproofing, but also allows water accumulated at the rotating shaft to drain along the joint. By combining sealing, water blocking, and drainage, the waterproofing effect is further enhanced.

[0021] 3. Each rotating shaft of this utility model is equipped with two waterproof strips on the middle rod. During the process of the car cover flipping, multiple waterproof strips can work together to achieve waterproofing throughout the rotation process. Attached Figure Description

[0039] 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.

[0040] Example 1:

[0041] like Figure 1-3 As shown in Figures 7-9 and 11, a waterproof structure for a car hood includes a first rotating plate 1, a second rotating plate 2, and a rotating hinge 5. The first rotating plate 1 and the second rotating plate 2 are both connected to a rotating joint 8. The first rotating plate 1 and the second rotating plate 2 are connected by the rotating hinge 5, and the rotating hinge 5 is limited by a limiting component.

[0042] The first rotating plate 1 and the second rotating plate 2 are connected to a top water-blocking strip 3 and a side water-blocking strip 4 on opposite sides. The two top water-blocking strips 3 are provided with top water-blocking protrusions 34, and the two side water-blocking strips 4 press against each other to form a water-draining channel 44.

[0043] The rotating shaft connector 8 is provided with a connector inclined surface 87, which is connected to the bottom outlet 82 through a drain port 83.

[0044] By improving the structure of the rotating shaft, it has been made more waterproof, enabling waterproofing throughout the entire rotation process.

[0045] By setting four waterproof strips at the rotation position of the shaft, the four waterproof strips work together to provide waterproofing at any position of the shaft, eliminating any waterproof blind spots.

[0046] Example 2:

[0047] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 4As shown, the limiting component includes limiting screws 7, and there are four limiting screws 7. The four limiting screws 7 are respectively located on both sides of the rotating hinge 5. Two limiting screws 7 are connected to the first rotating plate 1, and two limiting screws 7 are connected to the second rotating plate 2. The four limiting screws 7 limit the four corners of the rotating hinge 5 to prevent the rotating hinge 5 from sliding.

[0048] Example 3:

[0049] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the limiting component includes a limiting block 6. There are two limiting blocks 6, which are respectively located on both sides of the hinge 5. One limiting block 6 is connected to the first rotating plate 1, and the other limiting block 6 is connected to the second rotating plate 2. The two limiting blocks 6 are installed diagonally to limit the hinge 5 and prevent the hinge 5 from sliding.

[0050] Example 4:

[0051] Based on embodiments 2 and 3, the first rotating plate 1 is provided with a first slot 11, a second slot 22, and a rotating groove 12. The first slot 11 is used to connect the top water-blocking strip 3, the second slot 22 is used to connect the side water-blocking strip 4, and the rotating groove 12 is used to connect the rotating hinge 5. The second rotating plate 2 is provided with a first slot 11, a second slot 22, and a rotating groove 12. The first slot 11 is used to connect the top water-blocking strip 3, the second slot 22 is used to connect the side water-blocking strip 4, and the rotating groove 12 is used to connect the rotating hinge 5. The rotating hinge 5 is provided with two rotating shafts 51, which are respectively connected to the rotating groove 12 of the first rotating plate 1 and the rotating groove 12 of the second rotating plate 2. The two rotating shafts 51 are connected by a connecting frame 52.

[0052] By setting the first slot 11, the top water-blocking strip 3 is connected to the rotating plate by engaging with the first slot 11. Similarly, by setting the second slot 22, the side water-blocking strip 4 is connected to the rotating plate. Finally, it is connected to the rotating shaft hinge 5 through the rotating groove 12. This connection method does not affect the use effect of the top water-blocking strip 3 and the side water-blocking strip 4, and also facilitates the replacement of the top water-blocking strip 3 and the side water-blocking strip 4.

[0053] Example 5:

[0054] Based on embodiment 4, the top water-blocking strip 3 includes a top water-blocking strip central hole 32 and a top water-blocking strip engaging portion 33. The top water-blocking strip engaging portion 33 engages with the first slot 11. The two sides of the top water-blocking strip central hole 32 are top water-blocking protrusions 34. The side of the top water-blocking strip central hole 32 away from the top water-blocking strip engaging portion 33 is provided with a top water-blocking strip extrusion surface 31. The top water-blocking strip central hole 32 is provided to allow for a certain deformation during extrusion, ensuring a waterproof effect. In addition, the top water-blocking protrusions 34 on both sides of the top water-blocking strip central hole 32 can prevent water on the hood panel from flowing to the side water-blocking strip 4. Due to the one-piece structure of the hood panel, there will be no water leakage. Therefore, water is blocked on the hood panel as much as possible and does not enter the pivot part.

[0055] Example 6:

[0056] Based on embodiment 5, the side water-blocking strip 4 includes a side water-blocking strip central hole 42 and a side water-blocking strip engaging part 43. The side water-blocking strip engaging part 43 engages with the second slot 22. The side water-blocking strip central hole 42 has a side water-blocking strip pressing surface 41 on the side away from the top water-blocking strip engaging part 33. The upper side of the side water-blocking strip 4 has a side water-blocking strip support part 45. The top water-blocking strip 3 has a symmetrical structure, while the side water-blocking strip 4 adopts an asymmetrical structure. Since the lower side is basically not waterproofed, but the top needs to be waterproofed, a side water-blocking strip support part 45 is specially provided on the top to cooperate with the top waterproofing strip.

[0057] Example 7:

[0058] Based on Example 6, such as Figure 10 and 12 As shown, the rotating shaft connector 8 includes a left rotating shaft connector and a right rotating shaft connector. The left rotating shaft connector is connected to the first rotating plate 1 via a connecting plug 81, and the right rotating shaft connector is connected to the second rotating plate 2 via a connecting plug 81.

[0059] The left and right connectors of the shaft are mirror images of each other.

[0060] The rotating shaft connector 8 is provided with a connector bevel 87, which is connected to the lower connecting part 46 of the side water baffle 4. The connector bevel 87 is connected to the bottom water outlet 82 through the drain port 83.

[0061] By setting the joint bevel 87 to connect the lower connecting part 46, since the two side water-blocking strips 4 are waterproofed by compression sealing (the lower connecting part 46 is a single structure, connected to the rotating shaft joint 8 at the end, and close to the rotating plate in the middle, but not connected to the rotating plate), the compression force is greater in the middle position, resulting in a better sealing and waterproofing effect, while the waterproofing effect on both sides is slightly worse. Therefore, the lower connecting part 46 is connected to the joint bevel 87 on both sides for waterproofing to improve the waterproofing effect. In addition, the top of the side water-blocking strips 4 is beveled at both ends, partly for better aesthetics, and partly to guide the accumulated water to the drainage surface 84, and then allow the drain outlet 83 to discharge.

[0062] The rotating shaft joint 8 is provided with an upper chamfer 85 and a lower chamfer 86. The chamfers are provided to prevent interference during rotation.

[0063] Specific working principle:

[0064] During connection, first connect the rotating shaft connector 80 to the first rotating plate 1 and the second rotating plate 2, then install the top water baffle 3 and the side water baffle 4, then connect the first rotating plate 1 and the second rotating plate 2 through the rotating shaft hinge 5, and finally connect the limiting components on both sides of the rotating shaft hinge 5.

[0065] When in use, when the hood is flat, the two side water-blocking strips 4 press against each other to waterproof the hood, while simultaneously draining the accumulated water along both sides to the drainage surface 84, and finally flowing out from the drain outlet 83 and the bottom outlet 82.

[0066] When the hood rotates, the side water deflector 4 and the top water deflector 3 are pressed together to form a waterproof structure. When the hood is fully flipped over, the two top water deflectors are pressed together to form a waterproof structure.

[0067] This utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned optional embodiments. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the guidance of this utility model. However, regardless of any changes made in its shape or structure, any technical solution that falls within the scope of the claims of this utility model shall be protected by this utility model.
