The tail plate of the automobile is a hoisting handling device which is arranged at the tail part of a truck and various vehicles and takes a vehicle-mounted storage battery as power, and the tail plate as a vehicle-mounted handling tool can greatly improve the efficiency and the convenience of handling. However, the existing automobile tail plate has a complex structure and high cost, and is difficult to meet the requirements of medium and small enterprises.
Pickup trucks typically include a latch tailgate that swings between an upright closed position and a horizontal open position. When in the closed position, the tailgate is latched to the cargo box. On the other hand, when open, the tailgate provides access to the cargo box. Typically, the tailgate is opened and closed manually by a user. For example, a handle on the tailgate may be pulled to unlock the tailgate from the cargo box, thereby permitting the tailgate to move to the open position. As an example, some tailgates also include a power latch that unlocks the tailgate from the closed position when a user presses a button on the remote control device or on the exterior of the tailgate. Some other pickup trucks may include a power tailgate assembly.

Detailed Description
The present invention is described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown below, but it should be understood that these embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention, and that functional, methodical, or structural equivalents and substitutions by those skilled in the art are within the scope of the present invention.
It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments in the present application may be combined with each other without conflict.
In the description of the present application, it is to be understood that the term "operative loading condition" includes unloading, and in the description of the present application, it is to be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated or defined, the terms "mounted", "connected", and "connected" are to be interpreted broadly, e.g., as being either fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally connected; can be mechanically or electrically connected; they may be connected directly or indirectly through an intermediary, or they may be interconnected between two elements. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art through specific cases.
In order that the invention may be more fully understood, reference will now be made to the following description. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
The invention relates to an automobile tailboard assembly and a specific implementation mode of an assembling method of the automobile tailboard assembly.
In this embodiment, an automobile tailgate assembly, includes: the tail board assembly comprises a tail board panel capable of being movably switched between a closed state and an open state and an actuating component capable of enabling the tail board panel to move; and a control device, which may be part of an overall vehicle control module, such as a Vehicle System Controller (VSC), or may alternatively be a separate controller from the VSC, while the actuation assembly may be a motor; the control device is configured to identify the start of a valid loading condition when the tailgate panel is driven from the loading node position toward the open state; the intelligent management tailgate panel movement is achieved by monitoring and identifying the onset of valid loading conditions. In particular, monitoring and identifying the valid loading conditions allows the present disclosure to strike a balance between protecting items stored within the vehicle and not preventing a user from actively loading or unloading the vehicle. These and other benefits will become apparent from the following.
It is noted that the actuation assembly is electrically coupled to and responsive to commands from the control device, wherein the tailgate panel is movable to a loading node position located proximate the open state, the control device is configured to detect manual movement of the tailgate panel from the loading node position to the initial raised position, and the control device is configured to command the actuation assembly to move the tailgate panel to the closed state when the tailgate panel is manually moved from the loading node position to the initial raised position. The control means are able to detect whether the current level of the actuating assembly is above a threshold value.
It should be understood that in this embodiment, a sensor is also included, the sensor is capable of generating a signal indicative of the location of the tailgate panel, and the control device is capable of receiving and interpreting the signal from the sensor to determine the location of the tailgate panel. The control device is capable of commanding the actuation assembly to further include a sensor capable of generating a signal indicative of a position of the tailgate panel while receiving a vehicle operation command, the control device being capable of receiving and interpreting the signal from the sensor to determine the position of the tailgate panel. The tailgate panel is moved to the closed state. The tailgate panel rotates relative to the cargo box about a hinge adjacent the bottom of the tailgate panel. The sensor is an ultrasonic sensor.
The invention also discloses an assembling method of the automobile tailboard assembly, which comprises the following steps: s1, when a tail board panel moves from a loading node position to an open state, starting to detect effective loading conditions; s2, attempting to move the tail board panel to the loading node position within a period of time after the start of the effective loading condition, and determining whether the current level of the actuating assembly is higher than a threshold value when attempting to move the tail board panel to the loading node position; and S3, when a condition indicating that the vehicle operation is imminent occurs or after the tailgate panel is kept at the loading node position for a period of time, the actuating assembly moves the tailgate panel to the closed state. In this manner, the control means instructs the actuation group to raise the tailgate panel to the closed state for a period of time, which may be 10 minutes, but the disclosure is not limited to any particular period of time, in this manner the control means protects the contents of the cargo box and prevents theft by the driver when away from the vehicle, and to ensure that the loading process continues, the control means monitors the return of the positioning means for a period of time away from the vehicle and drives the tailgate panel back to the loading node position so that the driver can continue loading when returning.
