Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile body structures, and in particular to a load-bearing luggage rack and an automobile. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, the demand for private cars is also increasing. To enhance the visual experience, more and more vehicles are offering panoramic sunroofs. This design utilizes a glass roof to enhance the view from the roof. However, the installation of panoramic sunroofs complicates the placement of luggage racks on the roof. First, the Z-axis alignment between the glass roof and the luggage rack is limited by the mechanical properties of the glass roof, rendering the luggage racks useless as load-bearing components and serving only as decorative features. Loads on the luggage racks would be transferred to the glass roof, potentially fracturing the glass and posing a safety hazard. Second, to meet the load-bearing requirements of the luggage racks, the luggage racks are typically placed within the gutter between the roof and side panels, separating them from the area where the glass roof is located. However, this arrangement reduces the Y-axis dimension of the glass roof, diminishing the panoramic sunroof's field of view. Furthermore, the gutter between the roof and side panels is exposed, degrading the overall appearance of the vehicle. Therefore, existing vehicles with panoramic sunroofs cannot effectively and rationally accommodate luggage racks. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0035] See also Figures 1-9 , is a luggage rack 100 and a car 200 provided by the present invention. Figure 1 Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the load-bearing luggage rack 100 provided by the present invention fixed to a car 200 having a sunroof glass 230. The load-bearing luggage rack 100 provided by the present invention is particularly suitable for use on a car 200 having a sunroof glass 230. While normally carrying the weight of the luggage, the load-bearing luggage rack 100 transfers the weight of the luggage to the body structure of the car 200, effectively avoiding the weight of the luggage being transferred to the sunroof glass 230 and causing damage to the sunroof glass 230. Furthermore, the load-bearing luggage rack 100 fully utilizes the space on top of the car 200, increasing the visible area across the width of the sunroof glass 230, thereby enhancing the comfort of the entire vehicle.

[0036] Further, if Figure 1 As shown, the load-bearing luggage rack 100 provided by the present invention includes two luggage rack bars 10 disposed parallel to each other on a vehicle 200 having a sunroof glass 230. The two luggage rack bars 10 are disposed parallel to each other and symmetrically on either side of the width of the vehicle 200. The two luggage rack bars 10 are disposed parallel to the width of the sunroof glass 230, minimizing the obstruction of the view of the sunroof glass 230. Furthermore, the two luggage rack bars 10 are identical in structure and are symmetrically disposed on the roof of the vehicle 200.

[0037] Specifically, if Figure 2 The figure shows an exploded view of a single luggage rack bar 10 in the luggage rack 100 provided by the present invention. The luggage rack bar 10 provided by the present invention includes a hollow rod body 11, a front fixing seat 12 disposed at the front end of the hollow rod body 11, and a rear fixing seat 13 disposed at the rear end of the hollow rod body 11. The luggage rack bar 10 has a three-section design: front, middle, and rear. The front end refers to the front side of the vehicle 200 in the direction of the vehicle body, and the rear end refers to the rear side of the vehicle 200 in the direction of the vehicle body. That is, the front fixing seat 12 is disposed on the side close to the front windshield of the vehicle 200, and the rear fixing seat 13 is disposed on the side close to the rear windshield of the vehicle 200. The two ends of the hollow rod body 11 are respectively fixed to the top of the vehicle 200 via the front fixing seat 12 and the rear fixing seat 13. The hollow rod body 11 in the luggage rack bar 10 provided by the present invention is made of aluminum alloy and formed by a three-dimensional stretch bending process. The center of the hollow rod body 11 is a hollow structure.

[0038] Further, if Figure 3 FIG2 shows a partially enlarged view of one side of the front fixing seat 12 in the luggage rack rod 10 provided by the present invention. The front fixing seat 12 provided by the present invention is disposed on the front side of the hollow rod body 11, near the front of the vehicle 200. The front fixing seat 12 includes a front support 121 fixedly connected to the hollow rod body 11, a front rubber pad 122 disposed between the front support 121 and the skylight glass 230, and a front protective cover 123 disposed on the top of the front support 121 and integrally connected to the hollow rod body 11. The front fixing seat 12 is divided into three sections: upper, middle, and lower. The front support 121 serves to connect and secure the various components of the front fixing seat 12. The rear end of the front support 121 is fixedly connected to the hollow rod body 11, the top end is fixedly connected to the front protective cover 123, and the bottom end is fixedly connected to the front rubber pad 122. Finally, the front support 121 secures the front fixing seat 12 to the vehicle 200.

[0039] Specifically, the front support 121 within the front fixing seat 12 is injection-molded from PP-GF30. This front support 121 is not conventionally injection-molded from aluminum alloy and does not require electrophoresis treatment. Compared to conventional materials, it maintains rigidity while being more easily processed. The front rubber pad 122, located at the bottom of the front support 121, is injection-molded from TPV and positioned between the front support 121 and the vehicle 200. This pad fills the gap on the vehicle 200 where the luggage rack bar 10 is mounted, maintaining a consistent appearance. Furthermore, it absorbs the weight of the luggage on the luggage rack bar 10 through its own deformation, transferring this weight to the vehicle's body structure, preventing it from being transferred to the skylight 230 on top of the vehicle 200. A front protective cover 123, located at the top of the front support 121, contributes to aesthetics and maintains consistency with the hollow rod body 11. The front cover 123 is injection molded from PC+ABS material, with the front end of the front cover 123 extending to the junction of the roof assembly 210 and the front windshield of the vehicle 200, and the rear end extending to the hollow rod 11 of the luggage rack rod 10. The front cover 123 needs to maintain a consistent appearance with the hollow rod 11.

[0040] Further, if Figure 4FIG2 shows a partial enlarged view of one side of the rear mounting base 13 of the luggage rack bar 10 according to the present invention. The rear mounting base 13 according to the present invention is located on the rear side of the hollow rod 11, near the rear of the vehicle 200. The rear mounting base 13 comprises a rear support 131 fixedly connected to the hollow rod 11, a rear rubber pad 132 disposed between the rear support 131 and the skylight glass 230, and a rear protective cover 133 disposed on top of the rear support 131 and integrally connected to the hollow rod 11. The rear mounting base 13 has a similar structure to the front mounting base 12, also consisting of three sections: upper, middle, and lower. The rear support 131 connects and secures the various components of the rear mounting base 13. The front end of the rear support 131 is fixedly connected to the hollow rod 11, the top end is fixedly connected to the rear protective cover 133, and the bottom end is fixedly connected to the rear rubber pad 132. Ultimately, the rear support 131 secures the rear mounting base 131 to the vehicle 200.

[0041] Specifically, the rear support 131 of the rear mounting base 13 is made of the same materials and processing as the front support 121 of the front mounting base 12, using injection molding of PP-GF30. The rear rubber pad 132, located at the bottom of the rear support 131, is also made of the same materials and processing as the front rubber pad 122, and serves the same purpose as the front rubber pad 122. A rear protective cover 133, located at the top of the rear support 131, serves the same aesthetic purpose as the front protective cover 123, ensuring consistency with the appearance of the hollow rod 11. While the structure of the rear protective cover 133 differs from that of the front protective cover 123, it is injection molded using PC+ABS, ensuring consistency with the appearance of the entire luggage rack bar 10. The front end of the rear protective cover 133 extends to the end of the hollow rod 11, and the rear end extends to the intersection of the roof assembly 210 of the vehicle 200 and the rear windshield. The entire rear protective cover 133 covers the rear support 131 , maintaining consistency in appearance with the hollow rod body 11 .

The first bracket 251 and the second bracket 252 are both in an "X" shape, hollow and upwardly protruding, and the first bracket 251 is provided with a first fixing hole 2511 connected to the front fixing seat 12, as shown in FIG. Figure 9As shown, the first fixing hole 2511 of the first bracket 251 is provided with a projection welding nut fixedly connected to the first locking member 1214, and the first locking member 1214 of the front fixing seat 12 passes through the first mounting hole 1213 of the front support 121 and is locked to the projection welding nut of the first bracket 251. Figure 7 As shown, the second bracket 252 is also provided with a second fixing hole 2521 connected to the rear fixing seat 13 , and the second locking member 1313 of the rear fixing seat 13 passes through the second mounting hole of the rear support 11 and is locked on the second bracket 252 .

[0053] Further, if Figure 6 As shown, the skylight glass 230 in the car 200 is provided with a front avoidance notch 231 at the connection with the top cover assembly 210 for fixing the first bracket 251 to the front fixing seat 12. The front avoidance notch 231 of the skylight glass 230 and the side panel assembly 220 form a front avoidance hole 261, and the front rubber pad 122 of the luggage rack rod 10 is provided in the front avoidance hole 261. In order to better install the luggage rack rod 10 in the load-bearing luggage rack 100, a front avoidance notch 231 is provided at the front end portion of the skylight glass 230 near the first bracket 251. A front avoidance hole 261 for installing the front fixing seat 12 of the luggage rack rod 10 is formed between the front avoidance notch 231 of the skylight glass 230 and the side panel assembly 220 of the car 200. The front fixing seat 12 of the luggage rack rod 10 in the load-bearing luggage rack 100 provided by the present invention is provided in the front avoidance hole 261. Correspondingly, as Figure 7 As shown, the sunroof glass 230 in the vehicle 200 is further provided with a rear escape notch 232 at the connection with the roof assembly 210 for securely connecting the second bracket 252 to the rear fixing seat 13. The rear escape notch 232 of the sunroof glass 230 and the side panel assembly 220 together form a rear escape hole 262. The rear rubber pad 132 of the luggage rack bar 10 is disposed in the rear escape hole 262. The rear fixing seat 13 of the luggage rack bar 10 is disposed in the rear escape hole 262.

[0054] Specifically, if Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the front fixing seat 12 is fixed to the car 200, and the front rubber pad 122 of the front fixing seat 12 is completely filled in the front avoidance through hole 261 between the side panel assembly 220 and the skylight glass 230. Figure 3As shown, the bottom of the front rubber pad 122 is also provided with two spaced-apart reinforcing ribs 1223. The reinforcing ribs 1223 extend downward from the bottom surface of the front rubber pad 122 to the top surface of the roof assembly 210 of the automobile 200, achieving elastic contact between the front rubber pad 122 and the roof assembly 210. The elastic deformation of the reinforcing ribs 1223 directly transmits the applied force to the roof assembly 210. In addition, the front rubber pad 122 is provided with two first bracket avoidance holes 1224 through which the first bracket 251 can pass to be fixedly connected to the front support 121. The reinforcing ribs 1223 are provided on both sides of the first bracket avoidance holes 1224. At the same time, the front rubber pad 122 is provided with a first flange 1225 on all sides that abuts against the side assembly 220 of the car 200 and the skylight glass 230. The elastic deformation of the first flange 1225 fills the gap between the front rubber pad 122 and the car 200, thereby ensuring the consistency of the appearance at the front avoidance hole 261 of the car 200. At the same time, the first flange 1225 absorbs the gravity borne by the luggage rack rod 10, preventing the gravity from being transmitted to the skylight glass 230 and causing damage to the skylight glass 230. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the first flange 1225 of the front rubber pad 122 is a bent edge on the side of the side panel assembly 220, extending upward from the center of the front rubber pad 122. This bent edge fills the groove 240 formed between the side panel assembly 220 and the top cover assembly 210, which is used to mount the sunroof glass 230. Furthermore, the first flange 1225 on the side of the sunroof glass 230 is a bent edge extending downward from the center of the front rubber pad 122. This bent edge increases the thickness between the front rubber pad 122 and the sunroof glass 230, as well as the space for elastic deformation, thereby better absorbing gravity transferred to the side of the sunroof glass 230 and preventing it from affecting the sunroof glass 230.

[0055] The automobile 200 provided by the present invention adopts the above-mentioned load-bearing luggage rack 100. The front rubber pad 122 and the rear rubber pad 132 on the luggage rack rod 10 fill the gap between the skylight glass 230 and the side panel assembly 220, thereby ensuring the consistency of the vehicle body appearance. At the same time, the front rubber pad 122 and the rear rubber pad 132 are used to absorb the gravity borne by the luggage rack rod 10, thereby avoiding the load-bearing force from being transferred to the skylight glass 230, thereby ensuring the safety of the skylight glass 230; at the same time, the load-bearing luggage rack 100 is fixed to the connection between the top cover assembly 210 and the side panel assembly 220, thereby maximizing the field of view of the skylight glass 230 on the top cover assembly 210 in the vehicle width direction, thereby improving the product comfort of the entire vehicle.
