Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of vehicle tailgate installation, and in particular relates to a vehicle tailgate hinge and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] In modern vehicle manufacturing, the tailgate (rear door) is typically hinged to the vehicle body. To ensure the overall appearance quality and functional performance of the vehicle, the gap and surface difference between the tailgate and the body must meet strict dimensional specifications. However, existing hinge structures usually only support minor adjustments in one direction when connecting the tailgate and the body, and cannot make precise adjustments in multiple directions simultaneously. This not only results in insufficient tailgate installation precision, affecting the overall appearance and usability of the vehicle, but also reduces tailgate installation efficiency, impacting the overall vehicle production cycle. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a vehicle tailgate hinge and a vehicle for solving the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0004] A vehicle tailgate hinge includes a fixed leaf plate, a movable leaf plate, and a pivot. The fixed leaf plate and the movable leaf plate are rotatably connected via the pivot. The fixed leaf plate has a first mounting hole for a first threaded component to pass through, so that the first threaded component can mount the fixed leaf plate to the vehicle body. The size of the first mounting hole is larger than the size of the portion of the first threaded component located inside the first mounting hole. Furthermore, the fixed leaf plate is provided with a first indicator mark for guiding the first threaded component to adjust its position relative to the fixed leaf plate.
[0005] The movable leaf plate has a second mounting hole for a second threaded component to pass through, so that the second threaded component can install the movable leaf plate onto the vehicle tailgate; the size of the second mounting hole is larger than the size of the portion of the second threaded component located inside the second mounting hole; and the movable leaf plate is provided with a second indicator mark, which is used to guide the second threaded component to adjust its position relative to the movable leaf plate.
[0006] Understandably, the first indicator mark guides the positional adjustment between the first threaded component and the fixed leaf plate, and the second indicator mark guides the positional adjustment between the second threaded component and the movable leaf plate. This allows the vehicle tailgate to be precisely adjusted relative to the vehicle body in two directions via the vehicle tailgate hinge when it is installed onto the vehicle body. This not only facilitates fine-tuning of the vehicle tailgate during installation and ensures its installation accuracy, but also improves the installation efficiency of the vehicle tailgate.
[0007] In one embodiment, along the length of the vehicle, the movable flap is used to be fixed to the vehicle tailgate by the second threaded member;
[0008] Both the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are configured as oblong holes; the first mounting hole extends along the width direction of the vehicle, and the second mounting hole extends along the height direction of the vehicle.
[0009] Understandably, the above-mentioned structural design allows the vehicle's tailgate to be precisely adjusted in both the width and height directions when mounted to the vehicle body via the tailgate hinge, with the vehicle's length as the mounting reference.
[0010] In one embodiment, the number of the first mounting holes is configured to be multiple, and the number of the first indicator marks is configured to be at least one.
[0011] Understandably, the above structural design prevents the fixed plate from spinning when installed on the vehicle body, thereby improving the connection stability when the fixed plate is connected to the vehicle body.
[0012] In one embodiment, the number of the second mounting holes is configured to be multiple, and the number of the second indicator marks is configured to be at least one.
[0013] Understandably, the above structural design prevents the movable flap from spinning when installed on the vehicle tailgate, thereby improving the connection stability when the movable flap is connected to the vehicle tailgate.
[0014] In one embodiment, the first indicator mark is configured as a plurality of first scale lines marked on the fixed page;
[0015] Multiple first scale lines are symmetrically arranged on two opposite sides of the first mounting hole, and each first scale line is used to mark the position of the first threaded part.
[0016] It is understandable that using the first scale line marked on the fixed plate to guide the first threaded component to adjust its position relative to the fixed plate simplifies the structural design of the first indicator mark.
[0017] In one embodiment, the plurality of first scale lines are parallel to each other, and the spacing between any two adjacent first scale lines is equal.
[0018] It is understandable that the above structural design allows the first threaded component and the fixed plate to be adjusted with the distance between two adjacent first scale lines as the minimum adjustment unit, so as to meet the usage requirements of fine adjustment in one direction when installing the vehicle tailgate.
[0019] In one embodiment, the second indicator mark is configured as multiple second scale lines marked on the active page;
[0020] Multiple second scale lines are symmetrically arranged on two opposite sides of the second mounting hole, and each second scale line is used to mark the position of the second threaded part.
[0021] It is understandable that using the second scale line marked on the movable plate to guide the second threaded component in adjusting its position relative to the movable plate simplifies the structural design of the second indicator mark.
[0022] In one embodiment, the plurality of second scale lines are parallel to each other, and the spacing between any two adjacent second scale lines is equal.
[0023] It is understandable that the above structural design allows the second threaded component and the movable leaf plate to be adjusted with the distance between two adjacent second scale lines as the minimum adjustment unit, so as to meet the needs of fine-tuning in another direction when installing the vehicle tailgate.
[0024] In one embodiment, the fixed page plate includes two first bending plates, and the fixed page plate is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft via the two first bending plates;
[0025] Furthermore, the movable page plate includes two second bending plates, and the movable page plate is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft via the two second bending plates.
[0026] This application also provides a vehicle, including a body, a vehicle tailgate, and the aforementioned vehicle tailgate hinge;
[0027] The fixed leaf plate is mounted on the vehicle body via a first threaded fitting, and the mounting position of the fixed leaf plate on the vehicle body can be adjusted; the movable leaf plate is mounted on the vehicle tailgate via a second threaded fitting, and the mounting position of the movable leaf plate on the vehicle tailgate can be adjusted.
[0028] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0029] The vehicle tailgate hinge and vehicle claimed in this application use a first indicator mark to guide the positional adjustment between the first threaded member and the fixed leaf plate, and a second indicator mark to guide the positional adjustment between the second threaded member and the movable leaf plate. This allows the vehicle tailgate to be precisely adjusted relative to the vehicle body in two directions by means of the vehicle tailgate hinge when it is installed to the vehicle body. This not only facilitates fine-tuning of the vehicle tailgate during installation by workers and ensures the installation accuracy of the vehicle tailgate, but also improves the installation efficiency of the vehicle tailgate.

[0039] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle tailgate hinge 100 claimed in this application specifically refers to the hinge structure used to connect the vehicle tailgate 200 to the vehicle body 300. Here, the vehicle tailgate 200 can be connected to the vehicle body 300 through multiple vehicle tailgate hinges 100.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the vehicle tailgate hinge 100 provided in this application includes a fixed leaf plate 10, a movable leaf plate 20, and a pivot 30. The fixed leaf plate 10 and the movable leaf plate 20 are rotatably connected by the pivot 30. The fixed leaf plate 10 has a first mounting hole 11 for a first threaded component 110 to pass through, so that the first threaded component 110 can install the fixed leaf plate 10 onto the vehicle body 300. The size of the first mounting hole 11 is larger than the size of the portion of the first threaded component 110 located inside the first mounting hole 11. Furthermore, the fixed leaf plate 10 is provided with a first indicator mark 12. A first indicator mark 12 guides the first threaded component 110 in adjusting its position relative to the fixed leaf plate 10. A second mounting hole 21 is provided on the movable leaf plate 20, through which the second threaded component 120 passes, allowing the second threaded component 120 to mount the movable leaf plate 20 onto the vehicle tailgate 200. The size of the second mounting hole 21 is larger than the size of the portion of the second threaded component 120 located within the second mounting hole 21. Furthermore, a second indicator mark 22 is provided on the movable leaf plate 20, guiding the second threaded component 120 in adjusting its position relative to the movable leaf plate 20. Here, the first threaded component 110 and / or the second threaded component 120 are configured as screws, bolts, etc.
[0042] As can be seen from the above, when the vehicle tailgate 200 is connected to the vehicle body 300 through the vehicle tailgate hinge 100, the first indicator mark 12 guides the position adjustment between the first threaded part 110 and the fixed leaf plate 10, and the second indicator mark 22 guides the position adjustment between the second threaded part 120 and the movable leaf plate 20. This allows the vehicle tailgate 200 to be precisely adjusted relative to the vehicle body 300 in two directions through the vehicle tailgate hinge 100. This not only facilitates the fine-tuning of the vehicle tailgate 200 during installation by workers and ensures the installation accuracy of the vehicle tailgate 200, but also improves the installation efficiency of the vehicle tailgate 200.
[0043] It should be noted that when the vehicle tailgate 200 is installed onto the vehicle body 300 via the vehicle tailgate hinge 100, the vehicle tailgate 200 is first aligned with the vehicle body 300 under the drive of the robotic arm to determine its approximate position during installation. Then, by measuring the gap between the periphery of the vehicle tailgate 200 and the vehicle body 300, the required fine-tuning distance of the vehicle tailgate 200 is ensured. Since the position of the vehicle body 300 remains unchanged, the worker can use the first indicator mark 12 and the second indicator mark 22 as guides to adjust the vehicle tailgate 200 in two directions, thus ensuring the installation accuracy of the vehicle tailgate 200 on the vehicle body 300. Here, the vehicle tailgate 200 can adjust the position of the first threaded component 110 relative to the fixed leaf plate 10 by driving the vehicle tailgate hinge 100 to adjust its position.
[0044] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, in the vehicle length direction X, the movable flap 20 is used to be mounted to the vehicle tailgate 200 via the second threaded member 120; wherein, both the first mounting hole 11 and the second mounting hole 21 are configured as oblong holes; the first mounting hole 11 extends along the vehicle width direction Y, and the second mounting hole 21 extends along the vehicle height direction Z. That is to say, the vehicle tailgate hinge 100 of this embodiment can be adjusted in position in the vehicle width direction Y and the vehicle height direction Z with the vehicle length direction X as a reference, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the vehicle tailgate 200 when mounted on the vehicle body 300. It is understood that in other embodiments, the vehicle tailgate hinge 100 can also be adjusted in position in the vehicle length direction X and the vehicle width direction Y with the vehicle height direction Z as a reference, and the specific settings can be made according to the usage requirements of the vehicle, which will not be elaborated here.
[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first mounting hole 11 is configured as an elongated hole extending along the vehicle width direction Y; the second mounting hole 21 is configured as an elongated hole extending along the vehicle height direction Z. It is understood that in other embodiments, the first mounting hole 11 and the second mounting hole 21 may also be configured with other irregular shapes, which will not be elaborated upon here.
[0046] In one embodiment, the number of first mounting holes 11 is configured to be multiple, and the number of first indicator marks 12 is configured to be at least one. This allows the fixing plate 10 to be mounted onto the vehicle body 300 using multiple first threaded members 110, thus preventing the fixing plate 10 from rotating during installation on the vehicle body 300 and improving the connection stability when the fixing plate 10 is connected to the vehicle body 300. Here, the number of first mounting holes 11 is configured to be two, and the number of first indicator marks 12 is configured to be one. It is understood that in other embodiments, the number of first mounting holes 11 may also be configured to be three, four, or even more, and correspondingly, the number of first indicator marks 12 may be equal to the number of first mounting holes 11, which will not be elaborated here.
[0047] Similarly, in one embodiment, the number of second mounting holes 21 is also configured to be multiple, and the number of second indicator marks 22 is configured to be at least one. This allows the movable flap 20 to be mounted to the vehicle tailgate 200 using multiple second threaded fittings 120, thus preventing the movable flap 20 from spinning during installation on the vehicle tailgate 200 and improving the connection stability of the movable flap 20 when connected to the vehicle tailgate 200. Here, the number of second mounting holes 21 is configured to be two, and the number of second indicator marks 22 is configured to be one. It is understood that in other embodiments, the number of second mounting holes 21 may also be configured to be three, four, or even more, and correspondingly, the number of second indicator marks 22 may be equal to the number of second mounting holes 21, which will not be elaborated here.
[0048] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the first indicator mark 12 is configured as multiple first scale lines 121 marked on the fixed page plate 10; the multiple first scale lines 121 are symmetrically arranged on two opposite sides of the first mounting hole 11, and each first scale line 121 is used to mark the position of the first threaded member 110. That is, the fixed page plate 10 in this embodiment can use the first scale lines 121 marked on it to guide the first threaded member 110 to adjust its position relative to the fixed page plate 10, which simplifies the structural design of the first indicator mark 12. Here, the first indicator mark 12 can be aligned with the first scale line 121 and the edge of the first threaded member head 1101 on the first threaded member 110 to adjust the installation position between the first threaded member 110 and the fixed page plate 10. It is understood that in other embodiments, the first indicator mark 12 can also be configured as a scale plate abutting against the fixed page plate 10, which will not be elaborated here.
[0049] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the multiple first scale lines 121 are parallel to each other, and the spacing between any two adjacent first scale lines 121 is equal. This allows the first threaded component 110 and the fixed plate 10 to be adjusted using the spacing between two adjacent first scale lines 121 as the minimum adjustment unit, thus meeting the need for fine-tuning in one direction when installing the vehicle tailgate 200. Here, the spacing between two adjacent first scale lines 121 is 0.5 mm to meet the need for fine-tuning the installation position of the vehicle tailgate 200 on the vehicle body 300.
[0050] like Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, the second indicator mark 22 is configured as multiple second scale lines 221 marked on the movable plate 20; the multiple second scale lines 221 are symmetrically arranged on two opposite sides of the second mounting hole 21, and each second scale line 221 is used to mark the position of the second threaded member 120. That is, in this embodiment, the movable plate 20 can be guided by the second scale lines 221 marked on it to adjust the position of the second threaded member 120 relative to the movable plate 20, which simplifies the structural design of the second indicator mark 22. Here, the second indicator mark 22 can be used to adjust the mounting position between the second threaded member 120 and the movable plate 20 by aligning the second scale lines 221 with the edge of the second threaded member head 1201 on the second threaded member 120. It is understood that in other embodiments, the second indicator mark 22 can also be configured as a scale plate abutting against the movable plate 20, which will not be elaborated here.
[0051] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the multiple second scale lines 221 are parallel to each other, and the spacing between any two adjacent second scale lines 221 is equal. This allows the second threaded component 120 and the movable flap 20 to be adjusted using the spacing between two adjacent second scale lines 221 as the minimum adjustment unit, thus meeting the need for fine-tuning the tailgate 200 in another direction during installation. Here, the spacing between two adjacent second scale lines 221 is 0.5 mm to meet the need for fine-tuning the installation position of the tailgate 200 on the vehicle body 300.
[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the fixed page plate 10 includes two first bent plates 13, which are rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 30; and the movable page plate 20 includes two second bent plates 23, which are rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 30, thereby enabling the fixed page plate 10 and the movable page plate 20 to be rotatedly assembled on the rotating shaft 30. Here, the two first bent plates 13 are arranged inside the two second bent plates 23. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the two second bent plates 23 may also be arranged inside the two first bent plates 13.
[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, this application also provides a vehicle, including a body 300, a vehicle tailgate 200, and the aforementioned vehicle tailgate hinge 100; a fixed leaf plate 10 is mounted on the body 300 via a first threaded member 110, and the mounting position of the fixed leaf plate 10 on the body 300 can be adjusted; a movable leaf plate 20 is mounted on the vehicle tailgate 200 via a second threaded member 120, and the mounting position of the movable leaf plate 20 on the vehicle tailgate 200 can be adjusted.
[0054] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
