[0031] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the multi-functional tail box of this embodiment includes a main receiving cavity 101 formed by a main body 1 and a main cover 2; a secondary receiving cavity 201 is formed by an indentation in the main cover 2, and the secondary receiving cavity 201 is equipped with a secondary cover 3.

[0033] The bottom of the main body 1 is provided with a limiting structure 4, which is used to position the main body 1 to the expected position on the vehicle.

[0034] The top of the sub-cover 3 is flat; when the sub-cover 3 is assembled into the opening of the sub-accommodating cavity 201, it forms a seat surface.

[0035] The top surface of the sub-cover 3 is provided with a filling surface 301.

[0036] In the assembled state, the edge of the sub-cover 3 falls into the sub-accommodating cavity 201.

[0037] The opening edge of the secondary receiving cavity 201 has a rounded corner structure.

[0038] The secondary cover 3 and the secondary receiving cavity 201 are independent of each other, and the two are either transition fit or interference fit.

[0039] Of the two components, at least one has a contact surface with a deformation allowance, namely, the secondary cover 3 and the secondary receiving cavity 201.

[0040] The secondary cover 3 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the secondary receiving cavity 201, and the rotatable connection point 302 is located at two opposite sides of the secondary cover 3.

[0041] The vehicle in this embodiment is equipped with the aforementioned multi-functional tailgate, and the rear of the vehicle and the foot pedal are both provided with limiting structures 4 that are adapted to the tailgate.

[0042] The limiting structure 4 adopts any one of the following structures: snap-fit, fastening connection, locking slide rail, and magnetic connection.

[0043] The specific structure and usage of this application are as follows:

[0044] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the tailgate of this application. The main cover 2 and the secondary cover 3 have been assembled. The tailgate is a cube with low steps. It can be seen that the top of the tailgate has a large flat surface, which can be used as an extension of the seat or a storage platform.

[0045] Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of the tailgate with only the main cover 2 installed. It can be seen that the top of the main cover 2 of the tailgate is concave, forming a shallower storage space, which is the secondary storage cavity 201. The secondary storage cavity 201 is used to store small items.

[0046] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the sub-cover 3 structure of this application. The sub-cover 3 is installed at the opening of the sub-accommodating cavity 201 of the main cover 2. To improve comfort when used as a seat cushion, in this embodiment, a filling surface 301 is provided on the top surface of the sub-cover 3. The filling surface 301 can be made of existing fluffy materials such as polyurethane or nylon cotton. Other rigid structures can be made by adding glass fiber to the raw materials to achieve lightweight while maintaining a certain degree of rigidity and formability.

[0047] One of the key features of this application is that the secondary cover 3 and the secondary receiving cavity 201 on the main cover 2 can be opened. This application proposes two alternative connection structures.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one type is where the secondary cover 3 and the main cover 2 are independent of each other, and the secondary cover 3 can be completely removed from the main cover 2. When storage is needed, the secondary cover 3 can be removed directly; when it is needed as a seat cushion, the secondary cover 3 can be pressed back onto the main cover 2.

[0049] To ensure effective mutual restraint between the secondary cover 3 and the main cover 2, and to prevent loosening after installation, the outer wall contour dimension of the secondary cover 3 is set slightly larger than the inner wall dimension of the secondary receiving cavity 201, forming an interference fit. However, an interference fit makes installation difficult. To reduce the difficulty of installation, in this embodiment, the filling surface 301 of the secondary cover 3 extends to the assembly contact surface around the secondary cover 3. Thus, when the secondary cover 3 is pressed into the secondary receiving cavity 201, the filling surface 301 has the characteristics of being larger and easier to deform, which not only meets the purpose of convenient pressing installation, but also ensures sufficient frictional resistance during vehicle operation, preventing the secondary cover 3 from shifting.

[0050] As a further optimization and improvement, the sub-cover 3 can be configured with a stepped structure at the bottom. During assembly, the smaller stepped part is embedded in the sub-accommodating cavity 201, and the larger stepped surface abuts against the opening of the sub-accommodating cavity 201 to form a limit.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, another method involves setting rotating shafts as rotation connection points 302 on two opposite sides of the sub-cover 3. The rotating shafts extend from the sub-cover 3 into the inner wall of the sub-accommodating cavity 201, allowing the sub-cover 3 to rotate relative to the inner wall of the sub-accommodating cavity 201. In this structure, the sub-cover 3 only needs to have a protruding part on the swing side that can rest on the opening of the sub-accommodating cavity 201, or the sub-cover 3 can adopt the interference fit structure in Embodiment 1 only on the swing side.

[0052] In this embodiment, rotating the connection point 302 divides the side of the sub-cover 3 into two segments: a long segment 303 that lifts upwards to create accommodating space, and a short segment 304 that presses downwards into the sub-accommodating cavity 201. The length of the short segment 304 must be less than the distance between the connection point and the bottom wall of the sub-accommodating cavity 201, allowing the sub-cover 3 to rotate at a greater angle. Otherwise, during the rotation process, the side of the sub-cover 3 perpendicular to the short segment 304 will first contact the bottom wall of the sub-accommodating cavity 201, affecting the opening size of the sub-cover 3.

[0053] This application also provides limiting structures 4 on the rear rack, the vehicle's running boards, and the bottom of the main body 1 of the tailgate, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the limiting structure 4 can employ existing technologies such as snap-fit, bolt fastening, locking slide rail, and magnetic snap-fit. This embodiment uses a locking slide rail as an example for simple description. If a locking slide rail is used, the sliding direction should take into account the installation space. Since the front and rear sides of the pedal have the vehicle's front and seat respectively, the track of the locking slide rail should be arranged laterally to facilitate sliding the tailgate into the pedal space from the side for limiting. If a direct connection structure such as a snap-fit ​​or magnetic snap-fit ​​is used, the installation method is simpler. In this application, a snap-fit ​​is preferred as the limiting structure 4.

[0054] The advantage of this application is that the tail box can be used as a traditional storage structure or as a seat; the additional secondary storage compartment 201 on the tail box provides more storage space. This design is more suitable for working families who need to take their children riding. If the child sits on the footrest, the safety is higher and the child will not be out of the sight of the adult rider. At the same time, small items can be stored in the secondary storage compartment 201, making it highly practical.

[0055] The above description is an explanation of the present utility model and not a limitation thereof. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the claims. Within the protection scope of the present utility model, any form of modification may be made.
