Abstract

(57) [Summary] (with amendments) [Purpose] The purpose is to expand the cargo loading space in the trunk by moving the seal mounting position toward the rear of the vehicle while maintaining the rigidity of the rear of the vehicle. shall be. [Structure] The rear end panel 5 constituting the rear end panel assembly 1 is shaped to protrude forward in the vehicle body direction, and a seal 10 is attached to the upper flange of the rear end panel, and the lip 11 of the seal is attached to the rear end panel. By abutting on the rear end upper flange 8 that joins to the back side of the upper flange, and moving the seal mounting position rearward, the cargo loading space in the trunk is expanded, and the pressure on the seal when the trunk lid is closed is reduced. is supported by the rear end upper flange 8 to increase the mounting strength.

Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

This idea is based on the rear engine that constitutes the rear end panel assembly at the rear of the vehicle. Regarding improvement of the structure of the panel.

0002

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the structure of the rear end panel assembly (A) at the rear of the vehicle was In order to ensure the rigidity of the As shown in Figure 4, make a recess in the bottom part to attach the license plate (C). The flange of the rear end panel (B) that protrudes toward the rear in the vehicle body D) and the rear engine whose one end is connected to the surface of the tailgate lock rain hose (E). With the flange (H) at the other end of the door closing (G), attach the tailgate lock mentioned above. Join the flange (F) at one end of the rain hose (E) together, and attach the flange of each member above. A seal (J) is attached to the joint (I) formed by joining the screws (D), (F), and (H) together. It is something that is worn and maintained.

0003

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, in the above conventional system, as shown in Fig. 4, the license The shape of the rear end panel that protrudes toward the rear of the vehicle is Determined by vehicle body design and license plate mounting position restrictions, but In the conventional structure, the seal required to maintain the airtightness inside the trunk , rear end panel, tailgate lock rain hose, and rear end black. It is attached and held at the joint where the flanges of each member of the housing are joined together. Because it supports the weight of the trunk lid, it also maintains the rigidity of the rear of the vehicle. Due to molding constraints of the rear end panel, it protrudes a distance L to the rear of the vehicle. As a result, the seal position moves forward, which locks the tailgate in place. You will have to reserve extra space for the trunk, so you can use it as a trunk. The disadvantage is that the available space is reduced.

0004 Therefore, a seal is installed to maintain a tight seal with the inside edge of the trunk lid. Panel rear end inner and panel rear end outer to ensure rigidity of both rear parts. form a closed cross-section with the above-mentioned panel rear end inner, The seal is in contact with the slope inside the edge of the trunk lid to maintain airtightness. (Utility Model Application Publication No. 63-63269) has been proposed.

[0005] However, in the case of Utility Model Application Publication No. 63-63269, the panel part that constitutes a closed cross section is To form the slope of the end inner, a part of it protrudes into the trunk. As a result, the space available for loading luggage etc. in the trunk is narrowed, and the trunk itself is The shape of the trunk protrudes inward near the bottom, limiting the degree of freedom in loading methods. There is a drawback that it can be done.

[0006] Therefore, this idea is to improve the drawbacks of the conventional ones mentioned above. While maintaining the rigidity of the rear of the vehicle, the seal mounting position was moved toward the rear of the vehicle. The aim is to expand the space in the trunk for cargo loading.

[0007]

[Means to solve the problem]

For this purpose, the upper flange of the rear end panel that protrudes toward the front of the vehicle body. The tailgate locklay joins the lower end to the surface of the rear end closing. Connect the upper end of the above rear end closing together with the upper end of the front hose, and then Attach the lip of the seal that holds the upper flange of the rear end panel above to the rear engine. It is in contact with the rear end upper flange that is connected to the back of the door panel. Ru.

[0008]

[Effect]

With the above configuration, the rear end panel protrudes toward the front of the vehicle. By changing the shape, the rear end position of the vehicle can be moved backwards, so Cargo in the trunk between the back of the rear seat and the tailgate lock rain hose It is possible to expand the space in which things can be loaded.

[0009] Furthermore, the seal that comes into contact with the inside of the trunk lid is designed to prevent the rear end panel from moving backward. The upper flange of the rear end panel This rear end upper flange is connected to the end upper flange. The hinge allows you to receive the lip of the seal, ensuring a tight seal inside the trunk. can do.

【Example】

This invention will be further explained with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. (1) is an example of implementation of this idea This rear end panel assembly is The assembly (1) is the rigidity of the rear part of the vehicle body (2) and the striker of the trunk lid. - In order to ensure the installation strength of the lock (4) that receives (3), there is a The lock (4) is joined to the rear end panel (5) projecting toward the rear end panel (5). ) along with the tailgate lock rain hose (6) that reinforces the installation of the vehicle ( 2), the rear end closing (7) installed laterally, and the rear end The rear end upper is joined from the back side to the upper flange (9) of the front panel (5). - consists of a flange (8).

[0011] This rear end panel assembly (1) faces forward in the direction of the vehicle. At the upper flange (9) of the rear end panel (5) that protrudes, the tailgate Rear end closing that connects the lower end of the Trotlock rain hose (6) to the surface Integrate the upper end of the tailgate lock rain hose (6) with the upper end of (7). and is further held on the upper flange (9) of the rear end panel (5). Attach the lip (11) of the roll (10) to the back of the rear end panel (5). It is in contact with the upper end flange (8).

0012 Since this invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the rear end panel (5) used to be the trunk. The lip of the seal (10), which was required to maintain a tight seal with the rod, 11), it protrudes toward the rear of the vehicle due to the molding of the rear end panel (5). shape, but the rear end panel (5) protrudes toward the front of the vehicle. The seal (10) is attached directly to the upper flange (9), and the above-mentioned Attach the lip (11) of the seal (10) to the rear side of the upper flange (9). By adopting a structure in which the upper flange (8) is joined, the position of the rear end of the vehicle can be adjusted. The rear seats and tailgate can be retracted to lock the rain hose ( 6) It is possible to expand the space in the trunk that can be loaded with cargo. be.

[0013] Furthermore, the seal (10) that comes into contact with the inside of the trunk lid is attached to the rear end panel ( The rear end panel (5) will move rearward as the item 5) moves backwards. the rear end upper flange (8) which is joined to the back side of the upper flange (9) of the Upper flange (9) of rear end panel (5), tailgate lock rain hole joint (12) where the rear end closing (7) and rear end closing (7) are joined together. Accordingly, the lip (11) of the seal (10) is received, so the seal The mounting strength of the roll (10) has been improved, and as a result, when the trunk lid is closed, Even if the trunk lid is crimped against the seal (10), the pressure on the trunk lid cannot be relieved. The end upper flange (8) etc. are connected through the lip (11) of the seal (10). Something that can be fully received and ensure a sufficient seal inside the trunk. It is.

[0014]

[Effect of the idea]

As described above, the rear end panel is shaped to protrude forward, and the above-mentioned shape is Connect the rear end upper flange to the upper flange of the rear end panel, and By having a structure that receives the lip of the seal held on the flange, the trunk It is possible to sufficiently expand the cargo loading space inside the trunk, and also to reduce the amount of space in the trunk. This has an excellent effect of reliably improving the closure property.
