Installation structure and vehicle

Abstract

This application relates to the field of vehicle equipment technology, and discloses an installation structure and a vehicle. This installation structure achieves multi-level sealing within a limited space through the cooperation of a base, a connector, and an outer flange. The first groove of the base provides space for the outer flange, preventing it from protruding from the base surface and reducing space occupation. The combination of the second groove and the through hole allows the rod of the connector to pass through the base, while the abutment portion presses against the inner wall of the second groove to form a preliminary seal. The outer flange extends along the outer periphery of the abutment portion and presses against the bottom wall of the first groove, increasing the contact area and improving the sealing effect. The hierarchical distribution of the first and second grooves ensures that the outer flange and the abutment portion press against the bottom walls of different levels of grooves, forming a double-sealing structure that guarantees sealing performance while preventing a decrease in the structural strength of the base due to an excessively large outer flange.

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle equipment technology, and more particularly to an installation structure and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The space available for the tailgate struts is also one of the main factors affecting trunk space. Conventional tailgate struts are usually installed using a mounting structure.

[0003] The mounting structure can be pre-installed onto the corresponding position of the tailgate using bolts or screws. Then, the tailgate support rod is installed to the mounting structure to connect the tailgate support rod to the vehicle body.

[0004] However, the sealing performance at the connection between the installation structure and the vehicle body in the aforementioned technologies is poor, which affects the vehicle's waterproof performance. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide an installation structure and a vehicle to solve the technical problem in the above-mentioned related technologies where the sealing performance at the connection between the installation structure and the vehicle body is poor, affecting the waterproof performance of the vehicle.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application embodiment is implemented as follows:

[0007] A first aspect of this application provides an installation structure for installing a strut on a vehicle tailgate, comprising:

[0008] The base has a first groove, a second groove is formed in a part of the bottom wall of the first groove, and a through hole is formed in the bottom wall of the second groove;

[0009] A connector, comprising a rod portion and an abutment portion, wherein the rod portion passes through the through hole and the abutment portion is pressed against the bottom wall of the second groove;

[0010] An outer flange is connected to the outer periphery of the abutment portion along the circumferential direction of the abutment portion. The outer flange is located in the first groove and pressed against the bottom wall of the first groove.

The outer flange extends along the outer periphery of the abutment portion and presses against the bottom wall of the first groove, increasing the contact area and improving the sealing effect. The hierarchical distribution of the first and second grooves ensures that the outer flange and the abutment portion press against the bottom walls of different levels of grooves, forming a double-sealing structure that guarantees sealing performance while preventing a decrease in the structural strength of the base due to an excessively large outer flange.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, along the first direction, the surface of the outer flange facing away from the rod is flush with the surface of the abutment portion facing away from the rod.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, along the first direction, the surface of the outer flange facing away from the bottom of the first groove does not protrude from the opening of the first groove.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting structure further includes an elastic sealing gasket;

[0015] The elastic sealing gasket is disposed in the first groove and is used to seal the gap between the bottom wall of the first groove and the outer flange.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the thickness of the elastic sealing gasket is h1, wherein h1 satisfies 1mm≤h1≤1.5mm.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the difference between the outer diameter of the outer flange and the outer diameter of the abutment portion is L1, wherein L1 satisfies 1.5mm≤L1≤3mm.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the thickness of the outer flange is h2, where h satisfies 1mm≤h2≤1.5mm.

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the specific technical solutions of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0039] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0040] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are defined relative to the positions in which the components are schematically placed in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, used for relative description and clarification, and can change accordingly depending on the position of the components in the accompanying drawings.

[0041] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0042] In embodiments of this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0043] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design that is described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design. Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0044] The sealing performance at the connection between the mounting structure and the vehicle body in the aforementioned technologies is poor, affecting the vehicle's waterproofing performance. This problem arises because, in existing technologies, the mounting structure for the tailgate strut commonly uses pan head bolts or countersunk head bolts as connectors. Pan head bolts achieve a sealing effect through their large pan head structure, but the pan head occupies a significant amount of space, affecting the optimization of trunk space. Countersunk head bolts, while having a size advantage, lack an effective sealing structure, allowing water to easily seep into the sheet metal from the connection point, leading to frequent leaks. Neither of these solutions can effectively balance space utilization and sealing performance, especially in scenarios where tailgate strut placement space is limited, where the insufficient sealing performance of countersunk head bolts is even more pronounced.

[0045] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides an installation structure and vehicle. This installation structure achieves multi-level sealing within a limited space through the cooperation of a base, a connector, and an outer flange. The first groove of the base provides space for the outer flange, preventing it from protruding from the base surface and reducing space occupation. The combination of the second groove and the through hole allows the rod portion of the connector to pass through the base, while the abutment portion presses against the bottom wall of the second groove to form a preliminary seal. The outer flange extends along the outer periphery of the abutment portion and presses against the bottom wall of the first groove, increasing the contact area and improving the sealing effect. The hierarchical distribution of the first and second grooves ensures that the outer flange and the abutment portion press against the bottom walls of different levels of grooves, forming a double-sealing structure that guarantees sealing performance while preventing a decrease in the structural strength of the base due to an excessively large outer flange.

[0046] The installation structure and vehicle provided in this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This application provides an installation structure for installing a support rod for a vehicle tailgate. The installation structure may include a base 100, a connector 200, and an outer flange 300.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The base 100 has a first groove 110, and a second groove 120 is formed in a portion of the bottom wall of the first groove 110. A through hole 130 is formed in the bottom wall of the second groove 120. The size of the first groove 110 is larger than the size of the second groove 120. The first groove 110 is a primary receiving structure formed on the surface of the base 100, which can be achieved by machining or stamping, and is used to provide installation space for the outer flange 300. The second groove 120 is a secondary receiving structure nested at the bottom of the first groove 110, which can be formed through layered machining, and is used to define the installation position of the abutment portion 220.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connector 200 may include a rod portion 210 and an abutment portion 220. The rod portion 210 passes through the through hole 130, and the abutment portion 220 presses against the bottom wall of the second groove 120. The abutment portion 220 refers to an extension structure on the connector 200 with a diameter larger than the through hole 130, which can be implemented using a flange or an annular boss, and is used to establish a sealing contact with the inner wall of the second groove 120.

[0050] The outer flange 300 is circumferentially connected to the outer periphery of the abutment portion 220. The outer flange 300 is located within the first groove 110 and is pressed against the bottom wall of the first groove 110. The outer flange 300 refers to an annular structure extending around the outer periphery of the abutment portion 220. It can be formed by integral molding or welding and is used to expand the sealing contact area.

[0051] This application provides an installation structure that achieves multi-level sealing within a limited space through the cooperation of a base 100, a connector 200, and an outer flange 300. The first groove 110 of the base 100 provides space for the outer flange 300, preventing it from protruding from the surface of the base 100 and reducing space occupation. The combination of the second groove 120 and the through hole 130 allows the rod portion 210 of the connector 200 to pass through the base 100, while the abutment portion 220 presses against the bottom wall of the second groove 120 to form a preliminary seal. The outer flange 300 extends along the outer periphery of the abutment portion 220 and presses against the bottom wall of the first groove 110, increasing the contact area and improving the sealing effect. The hierarchical distribution of the first groove 110 and the second groove 120 ensures that the outer flange 300 and the abutment portion 220 press against the bottom walls of different levels of grooves, forming a double-sealing structure that guarantees sealing performance while preventing a decrease in the structural strength of the base 100 due to an excessively large outer flange 300.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments, the mounting structure further includes a ball joint 500 disposed on the base 100, which can be used for the movable connection of the strut.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments, along the first direction (e.g.) Figure 1 In the Y direction), the surface of the outer flange 300 facing away from the rod portion 210 is flush with the surface of the abutment portion 220 facing away from the rod portion 210.

[0054] Among them, "surface flatness" means that the end face of the outer flange 300 away from the rod 210 and the end face of the abutment portion 220 away from the rod 210 are on the same plane. Specifically, this can be achieved by adjusting the thickness of the outer flange 300 and the height of the abutment portion 220 to match, so that the two form a continuous flat surface after installation.

[0055] This technical solution ensures that the surface of the outer flange 300 facing away from the rod portion 210 and the surface of the abutment portion 220 facing away from the rod portion 210 are on the same plane, thus keeping the overall outward-facing surface of the connector 200 flat. This feature prevents the outer flange 300 and the outward-facing surfaces of the abutment portion 220 from forming a stepped or protruding structure after installation, thereby avoiding the outer flange 300 protruding alone and occupying surface space of the base 100.

[0056] Furthermore, the design that the outer flange 300 and the contact portion 220 are flush ensures that they form a continuous pressing surface within the first groove 110 of the base 100. This maintains the sealing and pressing relationship between the outer flange 300 and the bottom wall of the first groove 110, while avoiding the problem of uneven surface of the base 100 or reduced local structural strength caused by the outer flange 300 protruding alone.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments, along the first direction, the surface of the outer flange 300 facing away from the bottom of the first groove 110 does not protrude from the opening of the first groove 110.

[0058] The outer flange 300 refers to an annular protrusion extending along the outer periphery of the abutment portion 220, which can be achieved by stamping or machining. This structure forms a sealing surface that contacts the bottom wall of the first groove 110 in the axial direction. The groove opening of the first groove 110 refers to the opening edge formed by the first groove 110 on the surface of the base 100. Specifically, it can be formed into a regular rectangular or circular boundary by milling, which defines the maximum permissible position of the outer flange 300 in the axial direction.

[0059] This technical solution addresses the issues of uneven surface and space occupation of the base 100 by limiting the positional relationship of the outer flange 300 in a specific direction. Specifically, the surface of the outer flange 300 facing away from the bottom of the first groove 110 is restricted within the opening of the first groove 110 along the first direction, ensuring that the outer flange 300 is completely contained within the first groove 110. This design, by controlling the axial height of the outer flange 300, prevents it from exceeding the opening plane of the first groove 110, thereby eliminating the disruption to the flatness of the outer surface of the base 100 caused by the outer flange 300.

[0060] Furthermore, since the outer flange 300 is completely hidden within the first groove 110, it does not occupy space outside the surface of the base 100, which helps to improve the compactness of the installation structure. This technical approach works in synergy with parameters such as the depth of the first groove 110 and the thickness of the outer flange 300 to optimize the overall structural layout of the base 100 while ensuring a sealing and pressing effect.

[0061] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the mounting structure may further include an elastic sealing gasket 400, which is disposed in the first groove 110 and is used to seal the gap between the bottom wall of the first groove 110 and the outer flange 300.

[0062] Among them, the elastic sealing gasket 400 refers to an annular sealing element made of compressible material, specifically nitrile rubber or silicone material, which fills the assembly gap between the outer flange 300 and the bottom wall through elastic deformation.

[0063] This technical solution strengthens the seal by adding an elastic sealing gasket 400 within the first groove 110, directly addressing the gap between the outer flange 300 and the bottom wall of the first groove 110. The elastic sealing gasket 400 fills the assembly gap between the outer flange 300 and the bottom wall through its own elastic deformation, eliminating minor gaps caused by machining errors or assembly tolerances. Placing the sealing gasket inside the first groove 110 ensures the compactness of the sealing structure while avoiding additional external space occupation. By sealing the specific location between the bottom wall and the outer flange 300, the path of water flow along the axial direction of the connector 200 is blocked, forming a double protection with the radial seal formed by the abutment portion 220 pressing against the bottom wall of the second groove 120 in the aforementioned technical solution. This design, while retaining the structural advantages of the outer flange 300, further enhances sealing reliability through the dynamic compensation characteristics of the elastic material, making it particularly suitable for the vibration environment of vehicle tailgate struts under complex operating conditions.

[0064] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the thickness of the elastic sealing gasket 400 is h1 (e.g., Figure 7 As shown in h1), h1 satisfies 1mm ≤ h1 ≤ 1.5mm. For example, the thickness h1 of the elastic sealing gasket 400 can be one of 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.3mm, and 1.4mm. Alternatively, the thickness h1 of the elastic sealing gasket 400 can be any value within the range of greater than or equal to 1mm and less than or equal to 1.5mm.

[0065] The thickness of the elastic sealing gasket 400 refers to its dimension in the vertical direction when it is uncompressed. Its thickness directly affects the amount of deformation and sealing effect after being compressed. This thickness range balances the elastic deformation capacity with the structural space constraints, ensuring that the elastic sealing gasket 400 can fully fill the gap within the limited installation space while avoiding excessive compression that could lead to structural interference.

[0066] By limiting the thickness of the elastic sealing gasket 400 to the range of 1mm to 1.5mm, it is ensured that the gasket has sufficient elastic deformation to fill the gap between the outer flange 300 and the bottom wall of the first groove 110 when it is compressed, and the problem of the outer flange 300 being forced to protrude out of the groove of the first groove 110 or being unable to be effectively compressed due to the gasket being too thick is avoided.

[0067] Specifically, when the gasket thickness is less than 1mm, its elastic deformation capacity is insufficient to fully fill the gap, leading to seal failure. When the thickness exceeds 1.5mm, the outer flange 300 may not be fully embedded in the first groove 110 during installation due to the excessive thickness of the gasket, resulting in the outer flange 300 protruding or the gasket not being compressed, thus affecting the sealing performance. This thickness range design balances sealing effect and structural adaptability, ensuring that the sealing gasket performs optimal compression sealing within a limited space.

[0068] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the difference between the outer diameter of the outer flange 300 and the outer diameter of the abutment portion 220 is L1 (e.g., Figure 7 As shown in L1, L1 satisfies 1.5mm≤L1≤3mm.

[0069] For example, the difference L1 between the outer diameter of the outer flange 300 and the outer diameter of the abutment portion 220 can be one of 1.5 mm, 1.6 mm, 1.9 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.4 mm, and 2.8 mm. Alternatively, the difference L1 between the outer diameter of the outer flange 300 and the outer diameter of the abutment portion 220 can be any value within the range of 1.5 mm or greater and 3 mm or less.

[0070] The difference L1 between the outer diameter of the outer flange 300 and the outer diameter of the abutment portion 220 refers to the horizontal distance from the outer peripheral edge of the outer flange 300 to the outer peripheral edge of the abutment portion 220. Specifically, the radial dimensional difference between the two can be controlled by machining or mold forming. This difference directly affects the contact area between the outer flange 300 and the bottom wall of the first groove 110, and is also related to the structural strength and machining accuracy of the base 100.

[0071] By limiting the range of the outer diameter difference between the outer flange 300 and the abutment portion 220, material usage and manufacturing processes are optimized while ensuring sealing performance and structural strength. The outer diameter difference L1 of the outer flange 300 is limited to between 1.5mm and 3mm. The lower limit of 1.5mm ensures that the outer flange 300 has sufficient radial extension to increase the pressing area with the bottom wall of the first groove 110, thereby improving sealing performance. The upper limit of 3mm avoids an excessively large outer diameter of the outer flange 300, which would increase the machining size requirements of the first groove 110, thereby reducing the structural strength of the base 100 and increasing the machining difficulty. This difference range balances sealing performance, material cost, and process feasibility, preventing sealing failure due to an excessively small outer flange 300, and avoiding local structural weakness or increased machining costs in the base 100 due to an excessively large outer flange 300.

[0072] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the thickness of the outer flange 300 is h2 (e.g., Figure 7 As shown in h2), h satisfies 1mm≤h2≤1.5mm.

[0073] The thickness of the outer flange 300 is within a predetermined range, which means that the dimensions of the structure in the direction perpendicular to the bottom wall of the first groove 110 are controlled within a specific range. By limiting the thickness range, the contradiction between structural strength and material consumption can be balanced.

[0074] For example, the thickness h2 of the outer flange 300 can be one of 1 mm, 1.1 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.3 mm, and 1.4 mm. Alternatively, the thickness h2 of the outer flange 300 can be any value within the range of greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than or equal to 1.5 mm.

[0075] By limiting the thickness range of the outer flange 300, the relationship between structural strength and material consumption is balanced. When the thickness of the outer flange 300 reaches or exceeds 1 mm, it ensures that the outer flange 300 itself has sufficient rigidity, avoiding plastic deformation during the pressing process due to excessive thickness, which would prevent effective sealing of the bottom wall of the first groove 110. When the thickness does not exceed 1.5 mm, it avoids the forced increase in the depth of the first groove 110 due to excessive thickness of the outer flange 300, which would weaken the local structural strength of the base 100, and also reduces the amount of material used. This thickness range allows the outer flange 300 to maintain a stable pressing state on the bottom wall of the first groove 110 through its own structural strength, without increasing the processing difficulty or overall weight of the base 100 due to excessive thickness.

[0076] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the depth of the first groove 110 along the first direction is H (e.g., ...). Figure 7 As shown in H), H satisfies 2mm≤H≤4mm.

[0077] For example, the depth H of the first groove 110 can be one of 2mm, 2.1mm, 2.2mm, 3.3mm, 3.4mm, and 3.8mm. Alternatively, the depth H of the first groove 110 can be any value within the range of greater than or equal to 2mm and less than or equal to 4mm.

[0078] The first direction refers to the axial direction of the mounting structure or the thickness direction of the base 100. The depth H of the first groove 110 refers to the vertical distance from the surface of the base 100 to the bottom wall of the groove along the first direction, which can be achieved by machining or stamping. This depth parameter is directly related to the thickness of the bearing area of ​​the base 100.

[0079] This technical solution resolves the conflict between spatial constraints and mechanical strength in the installation structure by limiting the numerical range of the depth H of the first groove 110. The depth parameter of the first groove 110, defined along the first direction, is directly related to the thickness of the bearing surface of the base 100. Controlling H between 2mm and 4mm ensures that the outer flange 300 can be fully embedded in the groove, preventing the outer flange 300 from protruding from the groove and damaging the surface flatness due to insufficient depth; it also prevents excessive depth from causing local thinning of the base 100 wall, which would affect the overall structural strength. The setting of this numerical range essentially finds a balance between minimizing space occupation and maximizing structural reliability, achieving the dual goals of compactness and high reliability of the installation structure through precise geometric parameter control.

[0080] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, along the first direction, the outer side wall of the abutment portion 220 is a conical outer side wall, and the second groove 120 may include a conical bottom wall, the conical outer side wall being adapted to the conical bottom wall.

[0081] This technical solution achieves the dual functions of multi-dimensional sealing and mechanical limiting by setting a mating structure between the conical outer wall and the conical bottom wall. The conical outer wall of the abutment part 220 and the conical bottom wall of the second groove 120 form an inclined contact surface. This conical surface mating not only generates a radially expanding sealing force when axially pressed to effectively fill the gap between the contact surfaces, but also achieves self-centering positioning during the installation process through the guiding effect of the conical surface.

[0082] The inclined angle design of the conical outer wall ensures that the sealing effect is not limited to a single direction. When subjected to vibration or external impact, the conical structure can maintain contact pressure through deformation compensation, thereby improving the reliability of dynamic sealing. The geometric fit between the conical bottom wall and the conical outer wall ensures smooth assembly and forms a mechanical limit through the inclined contact, preventing the connector 200 from shifting or loosening under load.

[0083] refer to Figures 1 to 4 This application also provides a vehicle, which may include a vehicle body and the aforementioned mounting structure.

[0084] This technical solution integrates an installation structure with a multi-level sealing structure into the vehicle body, achieving the dual goals of compact arrangement and reliable sealing of the vehicle tailgate strut. Specifically, the vehicle body serves as the main load-bearing component. The base 100 in the installation structure forms a radial seal through the nested design of the first groove 110 and the second groove 120, combined with the structure of the rod portion 210 of the connector 200 passing through the through hole 130 and the abutment portion 220 pressing against the bottom wall of the second groove 120. The outer flange 300 presses against the bottom wall of the first groove 110 to form an axial seal. This dual sealing mechanism effectively prevents water infiltration.

[0085] The arrangement of the outer flange 300 within the first groove 110 enhances sealing performance by increasing the pressing area while avoiding space occupation caused by structural protrusion, thus maintaining surface flatness in the tailgate strut mounting area. This mounting structure, applied to the vehicle body, allows for the achievement of pan head bolt sealing effects through a multi-stage sealing structure, while retaining the space advantage of countersunk bolts.

[0086] In some embodiments, the vehicle may be a gasoline-powered vehicle, or it may be a new energy vehicle, such as a pure electric vehicle (PEV / BEV), a range-extended electric vehicle (REEV), a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), or a fuel cell electric vehicle. The vehicle may also be any vehicle equipped with a battery.

[0087] The sequence numbers of the embodiments in this application are for descriptive purposes only and do not represent the superiority or inferiority of the embodiments. The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
