Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pickup truck hoods, specifically relating to a front hood connector connection structure. Background Technology

[0002] Pickup trucks are an important part of the automotive market. A pickup truck is a type of vehicle that uses the front and cab of a sedan while having an open cargo bed. Its characteristics are that it has the comfort of a sedan, strong power, and is more capable of carrying cargo and adapting to bad roads than a sedan. The most common pickup truck model is the double-cab pickup. Pickup trucks can be used as special vehicles, multi-purpose vehicles, official vehicles, and commercial vehicles, as well as family vehicles for carrying cargo, tourism, and rental. The so-called "pickup truck" is a hybrid of sedan and truck. With the expansion of the number of modification enthusiasts, pickup truck modification is becoming an increasingly popular category among modification enthusiasts.

[0003] Currently, most vehicles use rigid hoods. Rigid hoods are mainly a combination of profiles and sheet metal. Connectors are needed at the ends of the profiles to act as plugs. Existing connectors directly snap onto the profiles by deforming them. This connection method results in poor connection stability and makes the connectors prone to falling off. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A front rail connector connection structure includes a front rail connector and a tension bolt;

[0006] The front rail connector is provided with mounting holes for connecting tension bolts;

[0007] The tension bolt passes through the mounting hole and is connected to the guide rail by a nut.

[0008] By improving the structure of the front rail connector, the front rail connector can be connected to the guide rail by tightening bolts, thus ensuring a stable connection of the front rail connector and preventing it from falling off.

[0009] Furthermore, the front bumper connector also features a waterproof protrusion with a sealing groove inside. The mounting hole is located within this sealing groove, and a sealing gasket is connected to the sealing groove. Since the front bumper connector requires a mounting hole, waterproofing of the mounting hole must be considered. The waterproof protrusion prevents surrounding water from flowing into the mounting hole. The sealing gasket inside the waterproof protrusion, compressed by tightening the bolts, provides excellent waterproofing. To facilitate gasket installation, a sealing groove that matches the gasket is provided, resulting in a more robust overall connection.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide rail is provided with a clearance groove and a guide rail support hole. The clearance groove is correspondingly provided with the nut, and the guide rail support hole is used to engage the nut. The function of the tension bolt is to stably connect the front rail joint of the hood to the guide rail. Therefore, a guide rail support hole is provided on the guide rail. After the nut is tightened, it presses against the guide rail support hole, thus achieving a tensioning effect.

[0011] Furthermore, a nut is connected to the bottom of the tensioning bolt.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By improving the front rail connector, this utility model adds a tension bolt to the original front rail connector, so that the front rail connector can be directly connected to the guide rail, and the connection is more stable.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a front rail connector connection structure includes a front rail connector 2 and a tension bolt 1;

[0027] The front rail connector 2 is provided with a mounting hole 23, which is used to connect the tension bolt 1;

[0028] The tension bolt 1 passes through the mounting hole 23 and is connected to the guide rail 5 by the nut 3.

[0029] By improving the structure of the front rail connector 2, the front rail connector 2 can be connected to the guide rail 5 by tightening bolt 1, thereby ensuring the stable connection of the front rail connector 2 and preventing it from falling off.

[0030] Example 2:

[0031] Based on Embodiment 1, the front rail connector 2 is further provided with a waterproof protrusion 21, the interior of the waterproof protrusion 21 is provided with a sealing groove 22, the mounting hole 23 is provided in the sealing groove 22, and the sealing groove 22 is connected to a sealing gasket 24.

[0032] Since the front connector 2 requires mounting holes 23, waterproofing of these holes must be considered. A waterproof protrusion 21 is incorporated to prevent surrounding water from flowing into the mounting holes 23. A sealing gasket 24 is placed inside the waterproof protrusion 21. Tightening the bolt 1 compresses the sealing gasket 24, achieving excellent waterproofing. To facilitate installation of the sealing gasket 24, a sealing groove 22 is provided to fit it, resulting in a stronger overall connection. The sealing groove 22 and the outer ring of the sealing gasket 24 are both polygonal in structure. Combining polygonal structures for both the sealing groove 22 and the sealing ring 24 helps prevent rotation.

[0033] Example 3:

[0034] Based on embodiment 2, the guide rail 5 is provided with a clearance groove 51 and a guide rail support hole 52. The clearance groove 51 is provided corresponding to the nut 3, and the guide rail support hole 52 is used to engage the nut 3.

[0035] The function of the tension bolt 1 is to stably connect the front rail joint 2 of the front rail 6 of the hood to the guide rail 5. Therefore, a guide rail support hole 52 is provided on the guide rail 5. After the nut 3 is tightened, it presses against the guide rail support hole 52 to achieve the tensioning effect. In order to facilitate the tightening of the nut 3, a clearance groove 51 is provided to facilitate the rotation of the nut 3.

[0036] When connecting the hood, the guide rail 5 is first connected to the vehicle body, and then the hood is connected to the guide rail 5 through a locking system, thus connecting the hood to the vehicle body. In this application, the front rail connector 2 is directly connected to the guide rail 5 by tightening bolt 1. Traditionally, the front rail connector 2 is snapped onto both ends of the front rail 6. In this application, based on the original front rail connector 2, mounting holes 23 are added to connect the front rail connector 2, and the guide rail 5 is also improved accordingly, making the connection of the tightening bolt 1 better.

[0037] The bottom of the tension bolt 1 is connected to a nut 4.

[0038] Specific working principle:

[0039] During installation, place the sealing washer 24 in the sealing groove 22, then pass the tension bolt 1 through the sealing washer 24, the mounting hole 23, and the guide rail support hole 52. Next, connect the nut 3 to the tension bolt 1 until it is tightened against the guide rail support hole 52. Finally, connect the nut 4 to the bottom of the tension bolt 1.
