Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Taillight housings and covers are often welded using hot plate welding. Hot plate welding is a plastic welding process. During the welding process, the surfaces of the housing and cover to be joined are first heated and melted by a high-temperature hot plate. Then the hot plate is removed, and the housing and cover are brought close together to press the surfaces to be joined together. After holding the plate for a period of time, the surfaces are cooled to complete the welding.

[0003] When softened plastic is pressed, some of it is squeezed out, forming welding slag. In order to make the exposed part of the taillight smoother, the relevant technologies often perform post-treatment of the weld or improve the welding process to reduce welding slag. However, post-treatment of the weld or improvement of the welding process is costly. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a vehicle that can reduce costs.

[0005] This application provides a vehicle including a body body, taillights, a tailgate, and decorative elements. The body body has an opening, the taillights are fixedly connected to the body body, and the taillights include a lamp cover and a lamp housing. The outer edge of the lamp cover is welded to the outer edge of the lamp housing. The tailgate is openable and closable within the opening, located on one side of the lamp cover along the width direction of the vehicle. When the tailgate is closed, the tailgate and the front side of the lamp cover are joined. The decorative elements are fixedly connected to the taillights, and at least a portion of the decorative elements is located between the lamp cover and the tailgate, covering the weld seam between the lamp cover and the lamp housing.

[0006] By placing at least a portion of the trim piece between the taillight cover and the tailgate, the weld between the taillight cover and the taillight housing is covered, making it less likely to be exposed when the tailgate is open. This eliminates the need to improve the taillight welding process or perform post-processing on the taillight weld. The exposed part of the taillight is also relatively flat when the tailgate is opened, which can reduce costs.

[0007] In some possible implementations of this application, the decorative element includes a first plate portion located between the lamp cover and the tailgate, and the first plate portion covers the weld seam along the direction from the tailgate to the lamp cover.

[0008] In this way, the decorative component, including the first plate, has a shape that fits well into the joint between the tailgate and the lampshade. The decorative component has minimal impact on the fit between the tailgate and the lampshade, and allows for a larger size, resulting in higher strength and rigidity. This also facilitates a more secure and convenient connection between the decorative component and the lampshade housing. Furthermore, along the direction from the tailgate to the lampshade, the first plate covers the weld seam, providing sufficient concealment and making it difficult for personnel to observe the weld seam.

[0009] In some possible implementations of this application, the outer surface of the lamp housing protrudes along the direction from the lamp cover to the tailgate, forming a protrusion. Along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the protrusion is located between the tailgate and the vehicle body, and a connector passes through the protrusion and the vehicle body. The edge of the first plate portion near the front of the vehicle is bent to form a second plate portion. The second plate portion is located between the protrusion and the tailgate, and along the rear-to-front direction of the vehicle, the second plate portion covers the connector.

[0010] In this way, the outer surface of the lamp housing protrudes, forming a bump. A connector passes through the bump and the vehicle body, allowing the lamp housing to be mounted on the vehicle body, thus enabling the taillight to be mounted on the vehicle body. The protrusion of the bump is in the same direction as the direction from the lamp cover to the tailgate. The bump is located between the tailgate and the vehicle body, meaning that the end of the bump extends beyond the lamp cover along the direction from the lamp cover to the tailgate. The bump is minimally obstructed by the lamp cover, allowing the connector to be installed along the direction from the rear to the front of the vehicle, meaning the connector can be installed on the outside of the vehicle body, making installation more convenient. Moreover, the location of the bump between the tailgate and the vehicle body allows the tailgate to cover the bump and connector when the tailgate is closed, resulting in a smoother and flatter outer surface of the vehicle when the tailgate is closed.

[0011] By including a second panel along the rear-to-front direction of the vehicle, the second panel covers the connector, making it difficult to observe even when the tailgate is open. The second panel provides ample coverage of the connector, and the exposed surface of the connector remains relatively smooth. Furthermore, the second panel fits well into the seam between the tailgate and the body, minimizing large gaps between them. Additionally, the second panel is formed by bending the edge of the first panel near the front of the vehicle, resulting in a simpler shape and easier manufacturing.

[0012] In some possible implementations of this application, the first end of the first plate is located at the lamp housing, the second end extends toward the rear of the vehicle, the second end of the first plate extends across the weld to the lamp housing, and the second end of the first plate overlaps with the surface of the lamp housing near the tailgate, covering the weld.

[0013] In this way, the first plate spans the weld along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, allowing it to fully cover the weld from the tailgate to the taillight cover. Furthermore, the second end of the first plate overlaps with the surface of the taillight cover near the tailgate, enabling it to further cover the weld from the rear to the front of the vehicle. The first plate and the surface of the taillight facing the tailgate together surround the weld, providing ample coverage and making it difficult for personnel to observe.

[0014] In some possible implementations of this application, the lampshade has a weld bead, the lampshade is welded to the lamp housing by the weld bead, and the second end of the first plate overlaps with the surface of the weld bead on the side near the tailgate, covering the weld.

[0015] In this way, the weld bead is used not only for welding to the lamp housing but also for overlapping with the first plate. The weld bead is fully utilized, facing forward of the vehicle. The surface of the weld bead near the tailgate is relatively flat, and the angle between this surface and the first plate is relatively small, allowing the first plate to overlap with the weld bead and improving the stability of the overlap. Furthermore, the close distance between the weld bead and the weld seam allows the second end of the first plate to overlap with the weld bead, further reducing the distance between the second end of the first plate and the weld seam. This helps to reduce the length of the first plate along the vehicle's longitudinal direction, minimizing its space requirements and improving the structural compactness.

[0016] In some possible implementations of this application, the first plate includes a rigid plate segment and a flexible plate segment. The rigid plate segment is fixedly connected to the lamp housing, and the flexible plate segment runs along the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The first end of the flexible plate segment is located on the side of the weld near the rear of the vehicle, and the second end extends forward of the vehicle to the rigid plate segment and connects with it. The first end of the flexible plate segment overlaps with the surface of the lamp housing near the tailgate, covering the weld.

[0017] By including a flexible plate segment in the first plate portion, with the first end of the flexible plate segment overlapping the surface of the lamp cover near the tailgate, the weld seam is covered. That is, the plate segment used to overlap with the lamp cover is made of flexible material, allowing the first plate segment and the lamp cover to fit more tightly, resulting in more thorough coverage of the lamp cover. This also allows for a more compact arrangement of the first plate segment and the lamp cover, reducing space requirements. Furthermore, the first plate segment also includes a rigid plate segment, with the second end of the flexible plate segment extending forward towards the rigid plate segment. The rigid plate segment provides a fixed connection to the lamp housing, improving the stability of the flexible plate segment installation and reducing the volume of the flexible portion of the first plate portion. Compared to a completely flexible first plate segment, this application's first plate segment is less prone to excessive deformation, preventing the first plate segment from removing the weld seam cover.

[0018] In some possible implementations of this application, the rigid plate segment is located on the side of the weld closer to the front of the vehicle, and the second end of the flexible plate segment crosses the weld and connects to the rigid plate segment.

[0019] In this way, compared to the second end of the flexible plate segment being located on the side of the weld seam closer to the rear of the vehicle, the flexible plate segment in this application is closer to the weld seam, and the flexible plate segment and the weld seam are arranged more compactly, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the first plate. It can be understood that if the second end of the flexible plate segment extends forward towards the rigid plate segment and connects with the rigid plate segment, and the part of the flexible plate segment overlapping the lamp cover is closer to the rear of the vehicle than the second end of the flexible plate segment, if the second end of the flexible plate segment is located on the side of the weld seam closer to the rear of the vehicle, the distance between the part of the flexible plate segment overlapping the lamp cover and the weld seam is farther. However, in this application, the second end of the flexible plate segment is located on the side of the weld seam closer to the front of the vehicle. In this way, because the flexible plate segment has a strong deformation capacity, the flexible plate segment can extend backward towards the rear of the vehicle to overlap with the lamp cover by a small distance beyond the weld seam. The flexible plate segment and the weld seam are arranged more compactly, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the first plate.

[0020] In some possible implementations of this application, the surface of the rigid plate segment near the tailgate is recessed to form a mounting groove, which extends through the rigid plate segment toward the rear of the vehicle. The second end of the flexible plate segment is fitted into the mounting groove, and the thickness of the second end of the flexible plate segment is the same as the depth of the mounting groove.

[0021] By fitting the second end of the flexible panel segment into the mounting groove, the stability of the installation between the flexible and rigid panels is improved. By positioning the mounting groove through the rigid panel segment towards the rear of the vehicle, the engagement length between the flexible panel segment and the mounting groove is increased, further enhancing the stability of the installation. By ensuring the thickness of the second end of the flexible panel segment is the same as the depth of the mounting groove, the surface of the first panel near the tailgate is relatively flat; that is, when the tailgate is open, the exposed surface of the first panel is relatively flat.

[0022] In some possible implementations of this application, the outer edge of the lamp housing is bent away from the inside of the lamp housing to form a flange. The thickness direction of the flange is the same as the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The surface of the flange near the rear of the vehicle is welded to the lamp cover, and the surface of the flange near the front of the vehicle abuts against the rigid plate segment.

[0023] In this way, the flange is used for welding to the lampshade on the one hand, and for abutting against the rigid plate segment on the other hand, so as to limit the rigid plate segment. This makes full use of the flange, reduces other structures used to limit the rigid plate segment, and helps to simplify the structure and improve its compactness.

[0024] In some possible implementations of this application, the decorative element and the taillight are separate structures.

[0025] In this way, the decorative parts can be installed on the taillights after the lamp housing and lamp cover are welded together. This ensures that the decorative parts are installed tightly with the weld seam, without affecting the welding process of the lamp housing and lamp cover. It will not interfere with the lamp housing or lamp cover during the welding process, nor will it obstruct the welding tools, which is conducive to the smooth progress of the welding process.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This application provides a vehicle comprising a vehicle body, a taillight 1, a tailgate, and a decorative element 2. The vehicle body has an opening, the taillight 1 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body, and the taillight 1 includes a lampshade 11 and a lamp housing 12. The outer edge of the lampshade 11 is welded to the outer edge of the lamp housing 12. The tailgate is closable and located at the opening, situated on one side of the lampshade 11 along the width direction of the vehicle. When the tailgate is closed, it mates with the front side 111 of the lampshade 11. The decorative element 2 is fixedly connected to the taillight 1, and at least a portion of the decorative element 2 is located between the lampshade 11 and the tailgate, covering the weld 3 between the lampshade 11 and the lamp housing 12. By positioning at least a portion of the decorative element 2 between the lampshade 11 and the tailgate, the weld 3 between the lampshade 11 and the lamp housing 12 is covered. This ensures that when the tailgate is open, the weld 3 between the lampshade 11 and the lamp housing 12 is concealed by the decorative element 2 and is not easily exposed. In this way, there is no need to improve the welding process of the taillight 1 or to perform post-processing on the weld 3 of the taillight 1. The exposed part of the taillight 1 is also relatively flat when the tailgate is opened, which can reduce costs.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, the vehicle body has a rear compartment with an opening, and the tailgate is closable at the opening to close or open the rear compartment.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment of the application, the welding between the lampshade 11 and the lamp housing 12 can be hot plate welding, vibration friction welding, or laser welding, etc. In some embodiments of this application, the lampshade 11 and the lamp housing 12 are hot plate welded. During the welding process, the welding surface of the lamp housing 12 and the welding surface of the lampshade 11 are pressed together, and the extruded part forms welding slag 4. The decorative part 2 can cover the welding slag 4.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Generally, the welding surface of the lamp housing 12 faces the rear of the vehicle, and the welding surface of the lamp cover 11 faces the front of the vehicle. The welding surface of the lamp housing 12 and the welding surface of the lamp cover 11 are welded to form a weld 3. The portion of the weld 3 near the tailgate faces the tailgate along the width direction of the vehicle. Part of the weld slag 4 extruded by the pressing of the welding surface of the lamp housing 12 and the welding surface of the lamp cover 11 is located inside the taillight 1, and the other part is located outside the taillight 1. The part located inside the taillight 1 is blocked by the lamp housing 12 itself, and the part located outside the taillight 1 is covered by the decorative part 2.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, taillight 1 may refer to side lights. Side lights have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains, and are also known as rear fender lights, side lights, etc. They generally include at least one of brake lights, rear position lights, rear turn signals, rear fog lights, and reversing lights.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment of the application, the tailgate and the front side 111 of the lamp cover 11 face rearward and are the light-emitting surface of the lamp cover 11. Light is emitted from the front side 111 of the lamp cover 11 into the external environment.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is understood that in this embodiment of the application, the tailgate and the front side 111 of the lamp cover 11 are spliced ​​together, which makes it difficult for the sheet metal parts of the vehicle body to be arranged between the tailgate and the lamp cover 11. This makes it difficult for the sheet metal parts to cover the part of the weld 3 near the tailgate between the lamp cover 11 and the lamp housing 12. The decorative part 2 in this embodiment of the application can cover this part of the weld 3.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, the tailgate may include a tailgate body and a headlight, the front side 111 of the headlight cover 11 may be combined with the light-emitting surface of the headlight, and the headlight may be a through-type light strip, etc.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, the decorative component 2 and the taillight 1 are separate structures. This allows the decorative component 2 to be installed onto the taillight 1 after the lamp housing 12 and lamp cover 11 have been welded together. This ensures a tight fit between the decorative component 2 and the weld seam 3, without affecting the welding process of the lamp housing 12 and lamp cover 11. It also prevents interference with the lamp housing 12 or lamp cover 11 during welding and avoids obstructing the welding tools, thus facilitating a smooth welding process. In some embodiments of this application, the decorative component 2 can be bonded to the lamp housing 12, connected with fasteners, or snap-fitted together. In some embodiments of this application, the decorative component 2 can also be fixedly connected to the vehicle body.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, the decorative element 2 includes a first plate portion 21, which is located between the lamp cover 11 and the tailgate. Along the direction from the tailgate to the lamp cover 11, the first plate portion 21 covers the weld seam 3.

[0044] Thus, the decorative component 2 includes a first plate portion 21. The shape of the first plate portion 21 can be well adapted to the joint between the lamp cover 11 and the tailgate. The decorative component 2 has little impact on the assembly of the tailgate and the lamp cover 11, and allows the decorative component 2 to be set larger, which is beneficial for the decorative component 2 to have higher strength and rigidity, and also for the decorative component 2 to be more stable and convenient to connect with the lamp housing 12. Moreover, along the direction from the tailgate to the lamp cover 11, the first plate portion 21 covers the weld seam 3, so that the first plate portion 21 covers the weld seam 3 sufficiently, making it difficult for personnel to observe the weld seam 3.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 It should be explained that in this embodiment, the first plate portion 21 covers the weld seam 3 along the thickness direction, and the joint between the lamp cover 11 and the tailgate matches the shape of the first plate portion 21.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments of this application, along the direction from the lamp cover 11 to the tailgate, the outer surface of the lamp housing 12 protrudes to form a protrusion 121. Along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the protrusion 121 is located between the tailgate and the vehicle body, and a connector is provided between the protrusion 121 and the vehicle body. The edge of the first plate portion 21 near the front of the vehicle is bent to form a second plate portion 22. The second plate portion 22 is located between the protrusion 121 and the tailgate, and along the direction from the rear to the front of the vehicle, the second plate portion 22 covers the connector.

[0047] Thus, the outer surface of the lamp housing 12 protrudes, forming a protrusion 121. A connector passes through the protrusion 121 and the vehicle body. The lamp housing 12 is mounted on the vehicle body via the protrusion 121, thereby allowing the taillight 1 to be mounted on the vehicle body. The protrusion 121 protrudes in the same direction as the lamp cover 11 towards the tailgate. The protrusion 121 is located between the tailgate and the vehicle body, meaning that the end of the protrusion 121 extends beyond the lamp cover 11 along the direction from the lamp cover 11 to the tailgate. The protrusion 121 is minimally obstructed by the lamp cover 11, allowing the connector to be installed along the rear-to-front direction of the vehicle. In other words, the connector can be installed on the outside of the vehicle body, making installation more convenient. Furthermore, since the protrusion 121 is located between the tailgate and the vehicle body, when the tailgate is closed, the tailgate can cover the protrusion 121 and the connector along the rear-to-front direction of the vehicle, resulting in a smoother and flatter outer surface of the vehicle when the tailgate is closed.

[0048] By including a second panel 22 along the rear-to-front direction of the vehicle, the second panel 22 covers the connector, making it difficult to observe even when the tailgate is open. The second panel 22 provides sufficient coverage of the connector, and the exposed surface of the connector remains relatively smooth. Furthermore, the second panel 22 fits well into the seam between the tailgate and the vehicle body, minimizing large gaps between them. Additionally, the second panel 22 is formed by bending the edge of the first panel 21 near the front of the vehicle, resulting in a simpler shape for the trim piece 2 and easier manufacturing.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment of the application, the protrusion 121 is used to pass through the opening of the connector, referring to the connecting hole 1211.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, the protrusion 121 is located on the side of the weld 3 near the front of the vehicle.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 It should be explained that in this embodiment, the second plate portion 22 covers the connector along the thickness direction, the joint between the protrusion 121 and the tailgate matches the shape of the first plate portion 21, and when the tailgate is closed, the second plate portion 22 is clamped between the protrusion 121 and the tailgate.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, the connector passes through the protrusion 121 and the vehicle body in the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, the first plate segment and the second plate segment can be integrally formed, such as integrally injection molded or integrally bent. This makes the processing and manufacturing of the decorative part 2 more convenient.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, a groove is formed on the outer surface of the vehicle body, and an opening is formed on the bottom surface of the groove. The tailgate is fitted into the groove to close the opening. The protrusion 121 extends into the groove along the direction from the lamp cover 11 to the tailgate. The protrusion 121 is disposed opposite to the bottom surface of the groove, and the connector passes between the protrusion 121 and the bottom surface of the groove.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, the connector can be a fastener. For example, the connector can be a screw, and the screw nut can be located on the side of the protrusion 121 away from the vehicle body. In this way, the installation of the connector is more convenient, and the connection between the protrusion 121 and the vehicle body is more stable.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the first end of the first plate portion 21 is located at the lamp housing 12, and the second end extends toward the rear of the vehicle. The second end of the first plate portion 21 extends across the weld seam 3 to the lamp cover 11. The second end of the first plate portion 21 overlaps with the surface of the lamp cover 11 on the side near the tailgate, covering the weld seam 3.

[0057] Thus, along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the first plate 21 spans across the weld 3, allowing it to fully cover the weld 3 from the tailgate to the lampshade 11. Furthermore, the second end of the first plate 21 overlaps with the surface of the lampshade 11 near the tailgate, enabling it to further cover the weld 3 from the rear to the front of the vehicle. The first plate 21 and the surface of the taillight 1 facing the tailgate together surround the weld 3, providing ample coverage and making it difficult for personnel to observe the weld 3.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the lampshade 11 has a weld bead 112, and the lampshade 11 is welded to the lamp housing 12 by the weld bead 112. The second end of the first plate portion 21 overlaps with the surface of the weld bead 112 on the side near the tailgate, covering the weld 3.

[0059] In this way, the weld bead 112 is not only used for welding to the lamp housing 12, but also for overlapping with the first plate 21. The weld bead 112 is fully utilized. The weld bead 112 faces the front of the vehicle, and the surface of the weld bead 112 near the tailgate is relatively flat. The angle between the surface of the weld bead 112 near the tailgate and the first plate 21 is relatively small, which helps to improve the stability of the overlap between the first plate 21 and the weld bead 112. Moreover, the weld bead 112 is close to the weld seam 3, which allows the second end of the first plate 21 to overlap with the weld bead 112. This makes the distance between the second end of the first plate 21 and the weld seam 3 smaller, which helps to reduce the length of the first plate 21 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, reduce the space occupied by the first plate 21, and improve the compactness of the structure.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the first plate portion 21 includes a rigid plate segment 211 and a flexible plate segment 212. The rigid plate segment 211 is fixedly connected to the lamp housing 12, and the flexible plate segment 212 is along the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The first end of the flexible plate segment 212 is located on the side of the weld 3 near the rear of the vehicle, and the second end extends forward of the vehicle to the rigid plate segment 211 and is connected to the rigid plate segment 211. The first end of the flexible plate segment 212 overlaps with the surface of the lamp housing 11 near the tailgate, covering the weld 3.

[0061] By including a flexible plate segment 212 in the first plate portion 21, the first end of the flexible plate segment 212 overlaps with the surface of the lamp cover 11 near the tailgate, thus covering the weld seam 3. That is, the plate segment of the first plate segment used to overlap with the lamp cover 11 is made of flexible material, which allows the first plate segment and the lamp cover 11 to fit more tightly, making the first plate segment cover the lamp cover 11 more tightly, and also allowing the first plate segment and the lamp cover 11 to be set more compactly, which helps to reduce the space occupied. In addition, the first plate segment also includes a rigid plate segment 211, and the second end of the flexible plate segment 212 extends towards the front of the vehicle to the rigid plate segment 211. The rigid plate segment 211 is fixedly connected to the lamp housing 12, which helps to improve the stability of the installation of the flexible plate segment 212, and makes the volume of the flexible part of the first plate portion 21 relatively small. Compared with the first plate segment being entirely made of flexible material, the first plate segment in this embodiment is less likely to undergo excessive deformation, causing the first plate segment to lose its coverage of the weld seam 3.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the flexible plate segment 212 is made of an elastic material, such as rubber. A pre-tightening force is applied to the surface of the lampshade 11 near the tailgate at the first end of the flexible plate segment 212. This ensures that the flexible plate segment 212 fits tightly against the lampshade 11, resulting in more thorough coverage of the weld 3 by the first plate segment. In some embodiments of this application, the interference between the first end of the flexible plate segment 212 and the lampshade 11 is 0.5 mm to 3 mm, for example, 1 mm, 2 mm, or 2.5 mm.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the rigid plate segment 211 can be made of plastic, and the second plate segment can also be made of plastic. This makes the decorative part 2 lightweight and low-cost.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the flexible plate segment 212 and the rigid plate segment 211 can be double-shot molded. This makes processing and manufacturing more convenient, and the connection between the flexible plate segment 212 and the rigid plate segment 211 is more stable.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the first end of the flexible plate segment 212 can be attached to the outer surface of the weld slag 4. In this way, the flexible plate segment 212 provides more thorough coverage of the weld slag 4 and has a more compact structure.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the rigid plate segment 211 is located on the side of the weld 3 near the front of the vehicle, and the second end of the flexible plate segment 212 crosses the weld 3 and is connected to the rigid plate segment 211.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this way, since the second end of the flexible plate segment 212 is located on the side of the weld 3 near the rear of the vehicle, the flexible plate segment 212 and the weld 3 are closer in this embodiment of the application, and the flexible plate segment 212 and the weld 3 are set more compactly, which is beneficial to reduce the space occupied by the first plate part 21. It is understandable that the second end of the flexible plate segment 212 extends forward towards the rigid plate segment 211 and connects with it. The part of the flexible plate segment 212 that overlaps with the lamp cover 11 is closer to the rear of the vehicle than the second end of the flexible plate segment 212. If the second end of the flexible plate segment 212 is located on the side of the weld 3 closer to the rear of the vehicle, the distance between the part of the flexible plate segment 212 that overlaps with the lamp cover 11 and the weld 3 is relatively far. However, in this embodiment, the second end of the flexible plate segment 212 is located on the side of the weld 3 closer to the front of the vehicle. In this way, since the flexible plate segment 212 has a strong deformation ability, the flexible plate segment 212 can overlap with the lamp cover 11 by extending a small distance beyond the weld 3 towards the rear of the vehicle. The flexible plate segment 212 and the weld 3 are set more compactly, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the first plate part 21.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the second end of the flexible plate segment 212 can extend beyond the weld 3 and extend along the outer surface of the lamp housing 12 to the rigid plate segment 211, where it connects with the rigid plate segment 211. This arrangement of the flexible plate segment 212 and the lamp housing 12 is more compact, which helps to reduce the space occupied. In some embodiments of this application, the portion of the flexible plate segment 212 on the side near the lamp housing 12 located between the weld 3 and the rigid plate segment 211 can be fitted to the lamp housing 12.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the surface of the rigid plate segment 211 near the tailgate is recessed to form a mounting groove. The mounting groove extends through the rigid plate segment 211 toward the rear of the vehicle. The second end of the flexible plate segment 212 is fitted into the mounting groove, and the thickness of the second end of the flexible plate segment 212 is the same as the depth of the mounting groove.

[0070] By fitting the second end of the flexible plate segment 212 into the mounting groove, the stability of the installation of the flexible plate segment 212 and the rigid plate segment 211 is improved. By making the mounting groove extend through the rigid plate segment 211 towards the rear of the vehicle, the fitting length between the flexible plate segment 212 and the mounting groove is larger, which further improves the stability of the installation of the flexible plate segment 212 and the rigid plate segment 211. By making the thickness of the second end of the flexible plate segment 212 the same as the depth of the mounting groove, the surface of the first plate portion 21 near the tailgate is relatively flat, that is, the exposed surface of the first plate portion 21 is relatively flat when the tailgate is open.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the outer edge of the lamp housing 12 is bent away from the inside of the lamp housing 12 to form a flange 122. The thickness direction of the flange 122 is the same as the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The surface of the flange 122 near the rear of the vehicle is welded to the lamp cover 11, and the surface of the flange 122 near the front of the vehicle abuts against the rigid plate segment 211.

[0072] In this way, the flange 122 is used for welding with the lampshade 11 on the one hand, and for abutting against the rigid plate segment 211 on the other hand, so as to limit the rigid plate segment 211. This makes full use of the flange 122, reduces other structures used to limit the rigid plate segment 211, and helps to simplify the structure and improve the compactness of the structure.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the surface of the flange 122 on the side closest to the front of the vehicle may abut against the side of the rigid plate segment 211 extending in the thickness direction.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the rigid plate segment 211 is located on the side of the flange 122 closer to the front of the vehicle. Thus, since the end of the rigid plate segment 211 closer to the rear of the vehicle extends beyond the flange 122, the surface of the rigid plate segment 211 on the side away from the tailgate in this embodiment does not need to undergo significant bending. The surface of the rigid plate segment 211 on the side away from the tailgate can be made relatively flat, which helps to improve the stress concentration phenomenon of the rigid plate segment 211.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5Generally, along the width direction of the vehicle, the weld bead 112 is located in the middle of the flange 122. In some embodiments of this application, the flexible plate segment 212 includes a body portion, a first end of which is connected to the rigid plate portion, and a second end which extends in the rearward direction of the vehicle away from the body portion. The edge of the second end of the body portion is bent towards the lamp cover 11 to form a bent portion. The bent portion can be constructed as an arc-shaped bent portion, and the end of the bent portion overlaps with the surface of the weld bead 112 near the tailgate. In this way, the flexible plate segment 212 is arranged in a conformal manner, extending along the outer surface of the taillight 1, making the flexible plate segment 212 and the taillight 1 relatively compact, occupying little space, and making the flexible plate segment 212 cover the weld slag 4 more tightly.
