Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

A method and a structure for reinforcing a car tailgate handle are used for reinforcing a car tailgate handle which is easy to break, in particular to a method and a structure for reinforcing a car tailgate handle which have the advantages of simplifying the structure, reducing the use of materials, being friendly to the environment, being easy to manufacture and being rapidly mass-produced, and being capable of quickly and massively remedying the broken car tailgate handle which has been circulated in the market.

BACKGROUND

In some commercially available cars, there may be some defects in the design of the car tailgate handle, which makes it easy to break. Although it looks sturdy and durable in appearance, in actual use, the durability of this handle can't match the customer's usage habits.

First of all, there may be a problem of insufficient mechanical strength in the design. In some commercially available cars, the design of the car tailgate handle seems to ignore the actual use habits of customers and lacks sufficient durability. The designer pays attention to details in appearance and adopts a gorgeous metal shell, giving people a strong and durable impression. However, in actual use, these handles are often unable to meet the needs of customers. The material used for the handlebars may be too fragile to withstand the pressure under normal use. Car owners often need to pull the car tailgate hard. When this material lacks sufficient strength, it is easy to break after a period of use.

In addition, there may be structural defects in the design of the handle. The stress area of some handle locking structures is too small, which does not meet the stress area of the owner when opening the car tailgate, resulting in a slight crack in the car tailgate handle from the locking point, which will further accelerate the fracture of the handle.

In a word, the design of the car tailgate handle of the car on the market is different from the actual use habits of customers, the fragility of materials, the design with too small stress area and the habit of frequent use of the car tailgate by car owners, which may cause the handle to break easily, and it often takes three to five years for car manufacturers to accumulate enough consumer feedback to produce improved car tailgate handle parts, which will bring inconvenience and maintenance costs to car owners.

In terms of maintenance, plastic-steel soil is usually used for gap filling and adhesion, which is not only unsightly, but also likely to break repeatedly. Another maintenance method is to continuously replace parts with poor design, which can't really solve the problem and waste resources. Another one is to make a complete copy of the car tailgate handle with stronger mechanical strength. Although it can be done once and for all, its production cost is high, the mold making is relatively difficult, the structure is more complicated, and the general car tailgate has a lock.

SUMMARY

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention relates to a method for reinforcing a car tailgate handle, which is used to reinforce an easily broken car tailgate handle. Two supporting posts are protruded on the car tailgate handle, and the ends of the supporting posts are provided with keyhole contact surfaces, and a keyhole is formed on the keyhole contact surface. The method for reinforcing a car tailgate handle comprises the following steps:

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

Please refer to FIG. 1, which is an implementation diagram of the present invention, which discloses the present invention. A car tailgate handle reinforcement structure is used to reinforce an easily broken car tailgate handle. Two supporting posts are protruded on the car tailgate handle, and the ends of the supporting posts are provided with keyhole contact surfaces, and the keyhole contact surfaces are provided with keyholes. The car tailgate handle reinforcement structure is characterized in that the car tailgate handle reinforcement structure has a reinforcement structure body, the shape of one side of the reinforcement structure body matches the shape of the car tailgate handle between the supporting posts, and two ends of the other side of the reinforcement structure body are provided with reinforcing supporting posts, one side of which matches the shape of one side of the supporting posts, and the top ends of the reinforcing supporting posts are provided with a reinforcing keyhole contact surface whose shape matches the shape of the keyhole contact surface. The contact surfaces of the reinforcing keyholes are provided with reinforcing keyholes corresponding to the positions of the keyholes, and the reinforcement structure of the car tailgate handle can be attached between the two supporting posts.

This figure reveals that the reinforcement structure of the car tailgate handle is copied from the shape between the two keyholes of the car tailgate handle, instead of copying the whole car tailgate handle, so that it is unnecessary to make a mold for the whole car tailgate handle, and the whole structure is quite simple, which can reduce the material and cost, and can continue to use the old car tailgate handle and enhance the mechanical strength of the car tailgate handle.

In addition, the figure also reveals that the tailgate handle is further provided with a lock seat at an appropriate position adjacent to the two supporting posts, and the reinforcement structure body of the present invention is further provided with a reinforcing edge at an appropriate position corresponding to the lock seat. When the tailgate handle reinforcement structure is attached between the two supporting posts, the reinforcing edge is closely attached to the lock seat.

Through the reinforcing edge, the lock seat can also be reinforced. The lock seat is usually the most accessible position for users. Please refer to FIG. 2, which is the action diagram of step S4 and step S5 of the present invention. This figure reveals that the reinforcement structure of the car tailgate handle of the present invention is installed between the car tailgate handle and a car tailgate, so when the user opens the car tailgate, usually, the force application point will be between the lock seat or the two supporting posts, so the maximum value of the weight of the tailgate and the force exerted by the user will be reached at the moment when the user opens the tailgate, and the two forces will be exerted between the lock seat or the two supporting posts, and the force will also be transmitted to the keyhole contact surface, therefore the most easily damaged parts of the tailgate handle of the tailgate are the lock seat, the space between the two supporting posts and the keyhole contact surface, and the durability of the car tailgate handle can be greatly improved through the reinforcement structure body, the reinforcing edge and the reinforcing keyhole contact surface, and other redundant parts are not needed. In addition, the designs of lock seat positions of vehicle models are different, which can be adjusted as required. The essence of the present invention lies in achieving the best reinforcement effect in the simplest and easiest way to manufacture.
