[0027] Specific references Figure 1 As an integrated tailgate sill and storage box of this utility model, the device includes: a tailgate sill 10 and a storage box 20; the tailgate sill 10 is a long strip-shaped structure used to connect the car tailgate and the body 30, and its extension direction is consistent with the width direction of the body 30; the storage box 20 is a box structure with an upward opening, the interior of the storage box 20 is hollow, one side is integrally injection molded with the tailgate sill 10, and there are no splicing connecting parts between the storage box 20 and the tailgate sill 10.

[0028] In one specific embodiment, the upper edge of the storage box 20 is completely flush with the upper surface of the tailgate threshold 10, and the connection between the two is seamlessly transitioned through an integrated mold design, and the connection position is provided with an arc-shaped transition structure.

[0029] In this example, the radius design of the arc transition avoids the steps or gaps that are prone to occur in traditional splicing structures, and also reduces stress concentration, thereby improving the impact resistance and lifespan of the integrated structure. The mold is formed through a single cavity, eliminating the need for subsequent grinding or splicing, further ensuring structural sealing and preventing rainwater or dust from seeping into the vehicle body from the joints.

[0030] In one specific embodiment, the storage box is provided with 1-2 detachable partitions 22, which are arranged along the width direction of the storage box 20, and can divide the interior of the storage box 20 into 2-3 independent storage cavities.

[0031] In this example, the divider 22 is made of fiberglass and its height is exactly the same as the depth of the storage box 20, preventing the divider 22 from protruding or recessing and affecting the placement of items. The connection between the divider 22 and the storage box 20 and the tailgate sill 10 adopts a slot-type detachable design. On the two opposite inner side walls of the storage box 20 and the corresponding inner wall of the tailgate sill 10, there are pre-injection molded strip slots, and both ends of the divider 22 can be directly inserted into the slots for fixation. When the user needs to store larger items, the divider 22 can be directly pulled out to restore a single storage space, which is highly flexible.

[0032] In one specific embodiment, a rectangular clearance hole 11 is provided at the bottom center of the tailgate sill 10 to allow passage and cooperate with the installation of the car tailgate buckle.

[0033] In this example, the dimensions of the rectangular clearance hole 11 are adapted to the specifications of the tailgate latch, and the distance from the edge of the hole to both ends of the tailgate sill is equal. The wall of the clearance hole 11 is rounded to prevent scratching the sealing ring on the surface of the latch during installation.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, two mounting plates 21 extend from the top two sides of the storage box 20 in a direction away from the geometric center of the storage box 20, and the back of the mounting plates 21 is provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0035] In this example, the mounting plate 21 is integrally injection molded with the storage box 20 and the tailgate sill 10, with the overall length consistent with the tailgate sill 10, and its top surface flush with the upper edge of the storage box 20. To prevent the mounting plate 21 from deforming under long-term stress, transverse reinforcing ribs are injection molded along the length direction on the back of the mounting plate 21 (the side facing the inside of the vehicle body 30) to further disperse the local pressure when the bolts are tightened and prevent the mounting plate from cracking.

[0036] In one specific embodiment, a fixing plate 12 extends diagonally downward from the bottom of the tailgate sill 10 away from the storage box 20, extending to the outer frame of the tailgate of the vehicle body 30, and the length of the fixing plate 12 is the same as that of the tailgate sill 10.

[0037] In this example, the fixing plate 12 is integrally formed with the tailgate sill 10 and is in the shape of an inclined flat plate. The angle between the fixing plate 12 and the bottom of the tailgate sill 10 is adapted to the tilt angle of the tailgate outer frame of the vehicle body 30, ensuring that the fixing plate 12 can completely fit the frame of the vehicle body 30.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, the outer surface of the tailgate sill 10 is provided with an anti-slip texture, and the anti-slip texture is only located on the side of the tailgate sill 10 closest to the tailgate of the vehicle.

[0039] The various embodiments of this application have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or improvement of the technology in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
