Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive auxiliary device technology, and relates to a retractable canopy for pickup trucks. Background Technology

[0002] A pickup truck is a vehicle type that uses a car-like front end and cab, while having an open cargo bed. Pickup trucks offer a comfortable interior environment without sacrificing power, and are better able to carry cargo and adapt to rough roads than cars. However, compared to trucks, pickup trucks have a smaller cargo bed, which has created some obstacles to their widespread use. Pickup trucks have open cargo beds, which often require a cover to protect the contents from sun and rain. A new type of pickup truck retractable canopy (patent number: 202120166396.2) mainly includes a fixed frame, a retractable frame, a fixed plate, a main canopy, a secondary canopy, and a cover plate. The fixed plate is fixed above the pickup truck cab, and the fixed frame is fixed to the pickup truck bed. The retractable frame can extend and retract, allowing the main and secondary canopies to slide on tracks connected to the fixed plate, fixed frame, and retractable frame. The cover plate, hinged to the secondary canopy, flips down to cover the rear end of the retractable frame, completing the seal. This increases the cargo height that can be loaded into the pickup truck bed. The retractable frame and the sliding main and secondary canopies facilitate folding and unfolding, eliminating the need for frequent disassembly and reassembly. However, after prolonged use, clumps of dust or other foreign objects accumulate in the grooves on the mounting and telescopic frames of the pickup truck's retractable canopy. When the pulleys of the main and auxiliary canopies slide in the grooves, they may become stuck or even unable to slide, preventing the main and auxiliary canopies from covering the pickup truck's cargo box. Utility Model Content

[0003] The problem solved by this utility model is to provide a folding rear bed for pickup trucks, which replaces the existing telescopic method with a folding method, and will not cause the pickup truck bed to be unable to be covered due to telescopic failure.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a box body is provided with a first cover plate and a second cover plate respectively hinged to both sides. A first tail plate is hinged to the tail end of the first cover plate, and a second tail plate is hinged to the tail end of the second cover plate. A detachable support rod is provided on the top of the box body. The box body is fixed to the cargo box of a pickup truck. The first cover plate and the second cover plate are flipped upwards and cover the box body. The first tail plate and the second tail plate are used to cover the tail of the box body.

[0005] A more specific technical solution to the above technical solution may be: square tubes are hinged to both top sides of the box body via hinges; the first cover plate is hinged to the square tube on one side of the box body via hinges; and the second cover plate is hinged to the square tube on the other side of the box body via hinges.

[0006] Furthermore, the end of the first cover plate can cover the end of the second cover plate, and both the end of the first cover plate and the end of the second cover plate are provided with rubber pads.

[0007] Furthermore, the ends of the first cover plate and the second cover plate are connected by a latch.

[0008] Furthermore, the top of the housing is provided with a groove that matches the support rod, and the support rod can be placed in the groove for easy assembly and disassembly.

[0009] Furthermore, both the first tailplate and the second tailplate are equipped with handles.

[0010] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: by flipping the first cover plate and the second cover plate upward and folding them over the top of the box, and flipping the first tail plate and the second tail plate to cover the rear of the box to complete the seal, the height of the pickup truck bed that can be loaded with goods is increased. Compared with the original telescopic pickup truck canopy, it has a simple structure and will not have the problem of the pickup truck bed not being covered due to telescopic failure. Attached Figure Description

[0011] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model when folded and unfolded.

[0012] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model when it is flipped closed.

[0013] In the diagram: 1. Box body; 2. Square tube; 3. First cover plate; 4. First tail plate; 5. Second cover plate; 6. Second tail plate; 7. Support rod; 8. Lock; 9. Rubber pad; 10. Hinge; 11. Groove; 12. Handle. Detailed Implementation

[0014] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples:

[0015] like Figure 1 and Figure 2The pickup truck folding bed shown includes a body 1 with a first cover plate 3 and a second cover plate 5 hinged to both sides. A first tail plate 4 is hinged to the rear end of the first cover plate 3, and a second tail plate 6 is hinged to the rear end of the second cover plate 5. A detachable support rod 7 is provided on the top of the body 1. The body 1 is fixed to the truck bed. After the first cover plate 3 and the second cover plate 5 are flipped upwards, they cover the body 1. The first tail plate 4 and the second tail plate 6 are used to cover the rear of the body 1. Square tubes 2 are hinged to the top of both sides of the box body 1. The first cover plate 3 is hinged to the square tube 2 on one side of the box body 1, and the second cover plate 5 is hinged to the square tube 2 on the other side of the box body 1. The end of the first cover plate 3 can cover the end of the second cover plate 5. Both the ends of the first cover plate 3 and the second cover plate 5 are provided with rubber pads 9. The ends of the first cover plate 3 and the ends of the second cover plate 5 are connected by a latch 8. The top of the box body 1 is provided with a groove 11 that matches the support rod 7. The support rod 7 can be placed in the groove 11 for easy disassembly and assembly. Both the first tail plate 4 and the second tail plate 6 are provided with handles 12. In this example, the first tail plate 4 and the second tail plate 6 are connected to the rear of the pickup truck bed by a latch 8.

[0016] In use, first install the support rod 7 in the groove 11 of the box body 1, then flip the first tail plate 4 and the second tail plate 6 more than 90°, then flip the first cover plate 3 and the second cover plate 5 90°, and continue to flip the first cover plate 3 and the second cover plate 5 to drive the square tube 2 to flip 180°. The end of the first cover plate 3 rests on the end of the second cover plate 5. Use a ladder to climb onto the first cover plate 3 or the second cover plate 5 and fasten the lock 8.
