Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tailgate hinge reinforcement plates, specifically a tailgate hinge reinforcement plate welded assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The tailgate hinge reinforcement plate welding assembly typically consists of a reinforcement plate body and welding parts. The reinforcement plate body is a specially designed metal plate whose shape and size are determined according to the installation position and stress conditions of the tailgate hinge. The welding parts are used to firmly connect the reinforcement plate body to other parts of the vehicle body or tailgate.

[0003] Currently, the tailgate hinge reinforcement plate welding assembly needs to be directly bonded and welded to the rear of the vehicle to ensure that the assembly can be firmly and effectively fixed to the vehicle. However, the traditional tailgate hinge reinforcement plate welding assembly is usually made by one-piece stamping. Although this manufacturing process can ensure the integrity and strength of the structure, it also results in a heavy overall weight. This not only increases the burden on the vehicle, but may also cause inconvenience during installation due to the weight. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tailgate hinge reinforcement plate welding assembly to solve the technical problems of traditional one-piece stamped reinforcement plate welding assembly being too heavy, increasing vehicle load and being inconvenient to install.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a tailgate hinge reinforcing plate welding assembly, comprising a reinforcing plate, the reinforcing plate comprising a main body, the outer surface of the main body being provided with a bonding surface, the bonding surface being provided with a plurality of honeycomb grooves, the plurality of honeycomb grooves being arranged in a honeycomb structure, the bottom of the bonding surface being provided with a straight groove, and an elastic protruding ball being provided in the straight groove;

[0006] The honeycomb cells are arranged with an inclined structure, and the bottom of the honeycomb cells is smooth.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solutions, the honeycomb structure and inclined design of the honeycomb groove, as well as the smooth treatment of the groove bottom, enhance the adaptability and strength of the bonding surface, while providing elastic support.

[0008] Furthermore, multiple elastic convex balls are provided, and the multiple elastic convex balls are arranged in a linear array at equal intervals.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple elastic convex balls are arranged in a linear array at equal intervals, which enables the reinforcing plate to distribute the impact force more evenly when subjected to pressure, thereby improving the overall stability and durability.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer surface of the motherboard body is provided with two mounting plates, the outer surfaces of the two mounting plates are provided with mounting surfaces, the outer surfaces of the mounting surfaces are provided with mounting screw holes, and the edges of the mounting screw holes are welded with raised rings.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, two mounting plates are provided on the outer surface of the main body. The mounting plates have mounting surfaces and mounting screw holes, which facilitates the fixed connection between the reinforcing plate and the tailgate hinge. The design of the raised ring increases the strength of the screw hole edge, preventing the screw from loosening or being damaged.

[0012] Furthermore, a wave groove is provided on one side of the mounting screw hole, and multiple wave grooves are provided, which are arranged in a linear array.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the corrugated groove on the side of the mounting screw hole increases the friction of the mounting surface, which helps to prevent the reinforcing plate from sliding or loosening during installation, and improves the stability and reliability of the installation.

[0014] Furthermore, the mounting surface abuts against the external tailgate hinge, and the screw holes on the tailgate hinge are aligned with the mounting screw holes.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting surface abuts against the external tailgate hinge, and the screw holes are aligned, ensuring the precise docking and firm connection between the reinforcing plate and the tailgate hinge, thereby improving the rigidity and stability of the overall structure.

[0016] Furthermore, the bonding surface is adapted to and fits the rear of the vehicle, the bottom of the main board body is provided with a welding surface, the inner side of the bonding surface is provided with strong adhesive, and the main board body is fixedly connected to the rear of the vehicle by strong adhesive and welding.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the bonding surface is adapted to and bonded to the rear of the vehicle. It is fixedly connected to the rear of the vehicle by strong adhesive and welding, providing double protection and ensuring a firm connection and seal between the reinforcing plate and the rear of the vehicle.

[0018] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0019] 1. This utility model, by setting a bonding surface, honeycomb grooves, straight grooves, and elastic convex balls, and opening multiple honeycomb grooves with a honeycomb structure on the bonding surface, and designing an inclined structure inside the grooves, effectively reduces the material used for the reinforcing plate, thereby achieving lightweighting. While maintaining structural strength, it reduces the overall weight, helps to reduce the burden on the vehicle, and reduces the difficulty of installation. Moreover, the inclined structure and smooth bottom of the honeycomb grooves increase the contact area between the bonding surface and the rear of the vehicle, improving the bonding degree and adhesion. At the same time, the elastic convex balls set in the straight grooves provide a certain elastic buffer for installation, allowing the reinforcing plate to better adapt to the shape and position of the rear of the vehicle during installation. In addition, the honeycomb groove structure can absorb and disperse energy when subjected to impact, improving the overall structural strength.

[0020] 2. This utility model provides additional support and positioning points for the screw by setting a convex ring, which is welded to the edge of the mounting screw hole. When the screw passes through the mounting screw hole and is tightened, the convex ring can prevent the screw from shaking or shifting during the force process, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection. At the same time, the presence of the convex ring increases the material thickness around the mounting screw hole, making this area more robust when subjected to tensile force.

[0021] 3. This utility model incorporates a wave groove, which increases the contact area between the mounting surface and the external tailgate hinge. This increased contact area helps to disperse stress, making the connection more robust and reliable. At the same time, the concave-convex structure of the wave groove provides additional anti-slip effect. Therefore, when the external tailgate hinge comes into contact with the mounting surface, the wave groove can increase the friction between the two, preventing slippage during installation or use.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0028] A tailgate hinge reinforcement plate welded assembly, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a reinforcing plate 1, which includes a main body 101. The outer surface of the main body 101 is provided with a bonding surface 106. Multiple honeycomb grooves 107 are provided on the bonding surface 106, and the multiple honeycomb grooves 107 are arranged in a honeycomb structure. A straight groove 108 is provided at the bottom of the bonding surface 106, and an elastic protruding ball 109 is provided in the straight groove 108.

[0029] The honeycomb grooves 107 are arranged with an inclined structure and have a smooth bottom. By designing the bonding surface 106 on the reinforcing plate 1 and its main body 101, and by opening multiple honeycomb-shaped grooves 107 on the bonding surface 106, and by opening straight grooves 108 at the bottom of the bonding surface 106 and embedding elastic protruding balls 109, not only is the adaptability and bonding tightness of the bonding surface enhanced, but additional elastic support and cushioning are also provided. The inclined structure and smooth bottom design of the honeycomb grooves 107 further improve the bonding effect and stress dispersion capability.

[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 Multiple elastic convex balls 109 are provided, arranged in a linear array at equal intervals within the straight groove 108. This allows the reinforcing plate 1 to more evenly distribute and absorb forces from different directions, thereby improving the overall stability and durability of the reinforcing plate. This design also helps reduce local stress concentration and prevent structural damage caused by excessive stress.

[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4The outer surface of the main body 101 is provided with two mounting plates 102. The outer surfaces of the two mounting plates 102 are provided with mounting surfaces 103. The outer surfaces of the mounting surfaces 103 are provided with mounting screw holes 104. A raised ring 105 is welded to the edge of the mounting screw holes 104. The two mounting plates 102 and the mounting surfaces 103 on the outer surface of the main body 101 provide a stable mounting base for the reinforcing plate 1. The mounting screw holes 104 on the mounting surfaces 103 and the raised rings 105 welded to their edges not only facilitate the fixed connection between the reinforcing plate and the tailgate hinge, but also enhance the strength of the screw hole edges, preventing screw loosening or damage, and improving the firmness and safety of the connection.

[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 A wave groove 110 is provided on one side of the mounting screw hole 104. Multiple wave grooves 110 are arranged in a linear array. This linear array of wave grooves 110 on one side of the mounting screw hole 104 increases the friction between the mounting surface 103 and the tailgate hinge, helping to prevent the reinforcing plate 1 from sliding or loosening during installation. Simultaneously, the wave groove design also has a decorative effect, enhancing the overall aesthetics.

[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The mounting surface 103 abuts against the external tailgate hinge, and the screw holes on the tailgate hinge are aligned with the mounting screw holes 104, ensuring precise alignment and secure connection between the reinforcing plate 1 and the tailgate hinge. This design not only improves the rigidity and stability of the overall structure but also facilitates alignment and fixing during installation, thus increasing installation efficiency.

[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The mating surface 106 is adapted to and fits snugly against the rear of the vehicle. The bottom of the main body 101 has a welding surface 111, and the inner side of the mating surface 106 is provided with strong adhesive. The main body 101 is fixedly connected to the rear of the vehicle via strong adhesive and welding. The mating surface 106's fit with the rear of the vehicle ensures a tight connection and good fit between the reinforcing plate 1 and the rear of the vehicle. The welding surface 111 at the bottom of the main body 101 and the strong adhesive design on the inner side of the mating surface 106 provide double protection, enabling the reinforcing plate to be fixedly connected to the rear of the vehicle via strong adhesive and welding, enhancing the strength and sealing of the connection. This design also facilitates the installation and removal of the reinforcing plate, improving the convenience of maintenance and replacement.

[0035] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, strong adhesive needs to be evenly applied to the inner side of the mating surface 106. Then, the mating surface 106 of the tailgate hinge reinforcement plate welding assembly is adapted to and mated with the rear of the vehicle. At the same time, it is ensured that the mounting surface 103 abuts against the external tailgate hinge, and the screw holes on the tailgate hinge are aligned with the mounting screw holes 104.

[0036] Subsequently, after the reinforcing plate 1 is attached to the rear of the vehicle, welding equipment can be used to weld the welding surface 111.

[0037] During the installation of the reinforcing plate 1, the honeycomb groove 107 is arranged in a honeycomb structure on the mating surface 106. This layout creates a lightweight yet robust structure, which helps to reduce the weight of the reinforcing plate while maintaining its strength. Furthermore, the inclined structure within the honeycomb groove 107 not only increases the surface area within the groove but also provides better stress dispersion.

[0038] After the reinforcing plate 1 is installed, elastic convex balls 109 are provided in the straight groove 108 at the bottom of the honeycomb groove 107. These convex balls can undergo elastic deformation when subjected to pressure, absorbing and dispersing the impact force.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
