Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of automotive tailgate hinge plates, and more specifically, it relates to a high-stability, torsion-resistant tailgate hinge reinforcement plate. Background Technology
[0002] As a key component connecting the tailgate to the car body, the tailgate hinge plate mainly supports and enables the tailgate's opening and closing motion. During daily use, the tailgate needs to be opened and closed frequently, which requires the hinge plate to have sufficient strength and durability to ensure that the tailgate maintains stable opening and closing performance over long-term use and prevents problems such as loosening and abnormal noise. At the same time, the hinge plate also needs to ensure the smoothness of the tailgate's opening and closing process, providing users with a good user experience.
[0003] Based on existing technology, it has been found that current automotive tailgate hinge panels have some shortcomings:
[0004] First, from the perspective of structural performance, the existing hinge plate has insufficient structural strength. Under large torsional forces or in a working environment of long-term frequent opening and closing, it is very easy to deform or even break. Such problems will not only seriously affect the normal use function and safety of the back door, but also cause jamming during the opening and closing of the back door due to structural changes, which will greatly reduce the user experience.
[0005] Secondly, in terms of installation and maintenance, when the hinge plate becomes loose after installation, it often requires the use of professional tools for adjustment and repair. This situation makes it difficult for car owners who do not have the corresponding professional tools to handle it themselves, causing inconvenience in use. At the same time, the hinge plate structure lacks additional fixing point design, and when the screws become loose due to aging, it is difficult to carry out effective reinforcement, further increasing the difficulty of maintenance. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model relates to a high-stability, torsion-resistant rear door hinge reinforcement plate. This solves the problem of insufficient structural strength in existing hinge plates, which are prone to deformation or even breakage under significant torsional forces or in environments with frequent opening and closing. Such issues not only severely affect the normal function and safety of the rear door but also cause jamming during opening and closing due to structural changes, significantly reducing the user experience. Furthermore, when the hinge plate becomes loose after installation, it often requires specialized tools for adjustment and repair. This makes it difficult for car owners without the necessary tools to handle the problem themselves, causing inconvenience. Additionally, the hinge plate structure lacks additional fixing points, making it difficult to effectively reinforce screws when they age and loosen, further exacerbating the difficulty of repair.
[0007] The first aspect of this disclosure provides a high-stability, torsion-resistant rear door hinge reinforcement plate, achieved through the following specific technical means:
[0008] High-stability, torsion-resistant rear door hinge reinforcement plate, including:
[0009] A reinforcing plate; the reinforcing plate has symmetrical mounting screw holes on its front and rear sides; the reinforcing plate has a push plate inside, which is slidably installed in a movable groove inside the reinforcing plate, and the contact rod outside the push plate is inserted into a connecting groove inside the reinforcing plate. The end of the contact rod contacts the hinge plate on the front side of the reinforcing plate. The push plate is penetrated by a lead screw inside the reinforcing plate. A top plate is slidably installed inside the movable groove. The top plate is threadedly connected to the lead screw. A spring is provided between the top plate and the push plate, and the reinforcing rod at the outer end of the top plate is located in the side grooves at both ends of the reinforcing plate. When the top plate moves forward in the movable groove, the reinforcing rod can extend from the front side of the side groove.
[0010] According to some solutions of this utility model, a movable groove is provided in the middle of the interior of the reinforcing plate, and a lead screw is rotatably installed in the middle of the movable groove.
[0011] According to some solutions of this utility model, an installation groove is provided inside the front end of the reinforcing plate, and a hinge plate is inserted into the installation groove. The mounting screw holes on both sides of the hinge plate are connected to the mounting screw holes at the front end of the reinforcing plate.
[0012] According to some solutions of this utility model, the two ends of the reinforcing plate are provided with connecting grooves, which are connected to the movable groove and the mounting groove. The front two ends of the reinforcing plate are provided with side grooves.
[0013] According to some solutions of this utility model, the push plate has a rectangular structure, and contact rods are provided at both ends of the front side of the push plate, wherein the contact rods have a wedge-shaped structure.
[0014] According to some solutions of this utility model, the top plate has a rectangular structure, and reinforcing rods are provided at both ends of the top plate, with mounting screw holes provided at the ends of the reinforcing rods.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. In this device, by setting a linkage structure between a push plate and a top plate inside the reinforcing plate, and setting a spring between the two, when the hinge plate becomes loose, the car owner does not need professional tools. He only needs to turn the screw, and the top plate can push the push plate to move through the spring, so that the wedge-shaped contact rod presses the hinge plate, realizing convenient self-adjustment. This effectively solves the problem that users cannot repair due to lack of professional tools, and greatly improves the convenience of use.
[0017] 2. In this device, reinforcing rods with mounting screw holes are provided at both ends of the top plate. When the hinge plate and reinforcing plate become loose due to screw aging, the reinforcing rods on the top plate can extend out from the side groove to add additional fixing points, significantly enhancing the reinforcement effect, effectively preventing the loosening from worsening, and reducing the difficulty of maintenance.
[0018] 3. In this device, by covering the outer end of the hinge plate with a reinforcing plate, it is provided with higher torsional stability. At the same time, the additional fixing point created by extending the reinforcing rod works together to disperse stress, effectively reducing the risk of deformation and breakage of the hinge plate under large torsional forces or long-term frequent opening and closing conditions, ensuring the normal use and safety of the back door, reducing jamming, and improving the user experience.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the described embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:
[0030] This utility model provides a high-stability, anti-torsion rear door hinge reinforcement plate, comprising: a reinforcement plate 1; mounting screw holes symmetrically provided on the front and rear sides of the interior of the reinforcement plate 1; a push plate 2 provided inside the reinforcement plate 1, the push plate 2 being slidably installed in the movable groove 101 inside the reinforcement plate 1, and the contact rod 201 outside the push plate 2 being inserted into the connecting groove 103 inside the reinforcement plate 1, the end of the contact rod 201 being in contact with the hinge plate 1021 on the front side of the reinforcement plate 1, the push plate 2 being penetrated by the lead screw 1011 inside the reinforcement plate 1, a top plate 3 being slidably installed inside the movable groove 101, the top plate 3 being threadedly connected to the lead screw 1011, a spring being provided between the top plate 3 and the push plate 2, and the reinforcement rod 301 at the outer end of the top plate 3 being located in the side grooves 104 at both ends of the reinforcement plate 1, when the top plate 3 moves forward in the movable groove 101, the reinforcement rod 301 can extend out from the front side of the side groove 104.
[0031] As a second embodiment of this application, based on embodiment one, such as Figures 3 to 5As shown, a movable groove 101 is provided in the middle of the interior of the reinforcing plate 1, and a lead screw 1011 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the movable groove 101; an installation groove 102 is provided in the front end of the reinforcing plate 1, and a hinge plate 1021 is inserted into the installation groove 102. The mounting screw holes on both sides of the hinge plate 1021 are connected to the mounting screw holes at the front end of the reinforcing plate 1; connecting grooves 103 are provided at both ends of the reinforcing plate 1, and the connecting grooves 103 are connected to the movable groove 101 and the installation groove 102; side grooves 104 are provided at both ends of the front side of the reinforcing plate 1; by providing the reinforcing plate 1 and covering the outer end of the hinge plate 1021, the reinforcing plate 1021 can be provided with higher torsional stability. Features include: a movable groove 101 for sliding the push plate 2 and top plate 3 into the interior of the reinforcing plate 1; a lead screw 1011 for adjusting the position of the top plate 3 within the movable groove 101; an installation groove 102 for inserting the hinge plate 1021 into the front interior of the reinforcing plate 1; a hinge plate 1021 for connecting the car door panel; a connecting groove 103 for extending the contact rod 201 into the installation groove 102 to contact the hinge plate 1021; and a side groove 104 for sliding the reinforcing rod 301 within the reinforcing plate 1.
[0032] This application provides a push plate 2 with a wedge-shaped contact rod 201 inside the reinforcing plate 1. The push plate 2 passes through the connecting groove 103 and extends into the mounting groove 102, where it contacts the hinge plate 1021. An elastic element is provided between the push plate 2 and the top plate 3. When the hinge plate 1021 becomes loose, the screw 1011 is rotated, causing the top plate 3 to push the push plate 2 to move via a spring, and the contact rod 201 to press the hinge plate 1021. This ensures that the car owner can adjust the stability of the hinge plate 1021 without tools.
[0033] As a third embodiment of this application, based on embodiment one, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the push plate 2 has a rectangular structure, and contact rods 201 are provided at both ends of the front side of the push plate 2. The contact rods 201 have a wedge-shaped structure. The top plate 3 has a rectangular structure, and reinforcing rods 301 are provided at both ends of the top plate 3. The end of the reinforcing rods 301 is provided with mounting screw holes. The push plate 2 is provided, and two sets of contact rods 201 are provided at both ends of the push plate 2. By moving the push plate 2, the contact rods 201 can press the hinge plate 1021 tightly, thereby providing better fixation for the hinge plate 1021. The top plate 3 is provided, and by moving the top plate 3, the spring pushes the push plate 2 to slide. The reinforcing rods 301 can provide additional fixing points for this device.
[0034] This application provides a top plate 3 with a reinforcing rod 301 inside the reinforcing plate 1. When the hinge plate 1021 and the reinforcing plate 1 become loose due to screw aging, the reinforcing rod 301 on the top plate 3 extends out from the side groove 104, thereby increasing the additional fixing points of the reinforcing plate 1 and ensuring the fixation of the hinge plate 1021.
[0035] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0036] In this utility model, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the hinge plate 1021 is inserted into the mounting slot 102 at the front end of the reinforcing plate 1, so that the mounting screw holes on both sides of the hinge plate 1021 are connected to the mounting screw holes at the front end of the reinforcing plate 1. Initial fixing is achieved using screws, connecting the car tailgate to the car body. During normal use of the tailgate, the reinforcing plate 1 covers the outer end of the hinge plate 1021, providing high torsional stability to the hinge plate 1021 through its own structure. If the hinge plate 1021 becomes loose during use, without the need for professional tools, the user can directly rotate the screw 1011 in the movable slot 101 of the reinforcing plate 1. The top plate 3, threadedly connected to the screw 1011, moves forward within the movable slot 101. The spring between the top plate 3 and the push plate 2 is compressed, generating elastic thrust, pushing the door forward. The push plate 2 slides within the movable groove 101. The wedge-shaped contact rod 201 on the outside of the push plate 2 extends into the mounting groove 102 through the connecting groove 103 to press the hinge plate 1021, thereby adjusting the stability of the hinge plate 1021. When the hinge plate 1021 and the reinforcing plate 1 become loose due to screw aging, and the contact rod 201 alone cannot meet the reinforcement requirements, the screw 1011 is rotated to move the top plate 3 further forward. The reinforcing rod 301 at the outer end of the top plate 3 extends from the front side of the side groove 104 at both ends of the reinforcing plate 1. Using the mounting screw hole at the end of the reinforcing rod 301, additional screws are used for fixing, adding additional fixing points to achieve a stable reinforcement of the hinge plate 1021, ensuring that the car tailgate opens and closes smoothly, stably, and reliably in subsequent use.
