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 made of multiple panels connected by a pivot system, which can easily lead to water leakage problems at the pivot connection. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A hinged waterproof structure for a vehicle hood includes a first rotating plate, a second rotating plate, and a hinge, wherein the first rotating plate and the second rotating plate are connected by the hinge.

[0006] The hinge has two rotating shafts, which are respectively connected to the first rotating plate and the second rotating plate;

[0007] Both the first rotating plate and the second rotating plate are connected to a top water-blocking strip and a side water-blocking strip. The top water-blocking strip is provided with a top water-blocking protrusion. The two side water-blocking strips press against each other to form a water-draining channel.

[0008] By improving the structure of the rotating shaft, it has been made more waterproof, enabling waterproofing throughout the entire rotation process.

[0009] 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.

[0010] 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. 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 also facilitates the replacement of the top and side water-blocking strips.

[0011] 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.

[0012] 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.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By improving the waterproof structure, this utility model sets two waterproof strips on the middle rod of each rotating shaft. During the process of the car cover flipping, multiple waterproof strips can cooperate with each other to achieve waterproofing throughout the rotation process. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 8, a hinged waterproof structure for a car hood includes a first rotating plate 1, a second rotating plate 2, and a hinge 5, wherein the first rotating plate 1 and the second rotating plate 2 are connected by the hinge 5.

[0033] The hinge 5 is provided with two rotating shafts 51, which are respectively connected to the first rotating plate 1 and the second rotating plate 2;

[0034] The first rotating plate 1 and the second rotating plate 2 are both connected to a top water-blocking strip 3 and a side water-blocking strip 4. 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 diversion channel 44.

[0035] By improving the structure of the rotating shaft, it has been made more waterproof, enabling waterproofing throughout the entire rotation process.

[0036] By setting four waterproof strips (two top waterproof strips and two side 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.

[0037] Example 2:

[0038] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 6 and 7 As shown, 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 shaft hinge 5.

[0039] 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 shaft hinge 5.

[0040] By setting the first slot 11, the top water-blocking strip 3 is connected to the rotating plate (first rotating plate 1 and second rotating plate 2) 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.

[0041] Example 3:

[0042] Based on Example 2, such as Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the top water-blocking strip 3 includes a top water-blocking strip middle hole 32 and a top water-blocking strip engaging part 33. The top water-blocking strip engaging part 33 engages with the first slot 11. The two sides of the top water-blocking strip middle hole 32 are top water-blocking protrusions 34. The side of the top water-blocking strip middle hole 32 away from the top water-blocking strip engaging part 33 is provided with a top water-blocking strip extrusion surface 31.

[0043] The purpose of setting the center hole 32 of the top water baffle strip is to allow for a certain deformation during compression, thus ensuring the waterproof effect. In addition, the top water baffle protrusions 34 are set on both sides of the center hole 32 of the top water baffle strip to prevent water on the hood panel from flowing to the side water baffle strip 4. Due to the one-piece structure of the hood panel, there will be no water leakage. Therefore, the water is blocked on the hood panel as much as possible and does not enter the pivot part.

[0044] Example 4:

[0045] Based on Example 3, such as Figure 1 , 9 As shown in Figure -11, the side water-blocking strip 4 includes a side water-blocking strip middle 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 middle hole 42 is provided with a side water-blocking strip extrusion surface 41 on the side away from the top water-blocking strip engaging part 33. The side water-blocking strip 4 is provided with a side water-blocking strip support part 45 on the upper side.

[0046] The top water-blocking strip 3 has a symmetrical structure, while the side water-blocking strip 4 has an asymmetrical structure. Since the bottom side is basically not waterproofed, but the top side is waterproofed, a special side water-blocking strip support 45 is provided at the top to cooperate with the top waterproofing strip.

[0047] The hinge 5 includes a connecting rod and two rotating shafts 51. The connecting rod has a "U" shaped structure, and each end of the connecting rod is connected to a rotating shaft 51. The rotating shafts 51 are connected to the rotating groove 12.

[0048] Specific working principle:

[0049] When the shaft is flat, such as Figure 8 As shown, firstly, the two top water-blocking strips 3 block the water accumulation on both sides of the plate to prevent water from entering the center of the pivot; secondly, the two side water-blocking strips 4 abut against each other to form a waterproof structure at the center of the pivot, thus achieving a waterproof effect.

[0050] When the shaft rotates, as Figure 9 As shown, due to the friction between the two side water-blocking rubber strips, the rotation is first centered on the rotating shaft 51 connected to the first rotating plate 1. As the rotating shaft hinge 5 rotates, the side water-blocking rubber strip of the second rotating plate 2 gradually moves from contact with the side water-blocking rubber strip of the first rotating plate 1 to contact with the top water-blocking rubber strip of the first rotating plate 1. During this process, the side water-blocking strip 4 of the second rotating plate 2 contacts at least one water-blocking rubber strip of the first rotating plate 1 (top water-blocking strip 3 or side water-blocking strip 4).

[0051] As the shaft continues to rotate, Figure 10 As shown, at this time, the rotating shaft 51 connecting the first rotating plate 1 rotates to its limit position. Next, the rotating shaft 51 connecting the second rotating plate 2 rotates. At this time, the contact between the side baffle 4 of the second rotating plate 2 and the top baffle 3 of the first rotating plate 1 gradually changes to the contact between the top baffle 3 of the second rotating plate 2 and the top baffle 3 of the first rotating plate 1 (as shown). Figure 11 The rotation of the shaft is now complete. It can be seen that throughout the process, at least two of the four water-blocking strips are in contact with each other to form a waterproof structure.

[0052] 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.
