Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pickup trucks, and more particularly, to a pickup truck with adjustable space. Background Art

[0002] A pickup truck is a vehicle with a sedan-like cab and an open cargo box. Its attractive appearance, car-like comfort, powerful engine, affordable price, and practicality for carrying both people and cargo have made it popular with consumers. Currently, most pickup trucks on the market have a non-load-bearing body, with the cab and cargo box separated and inaccessible.

[0003] The structural characteristics of pickup trucks easily lead to the inability to fully utilize the carrying space of pickup trucks. For example, when there is no need to carry cargo but more space in the cab is needed, the space cannot be expanded further, the cargo box space is wasted, and the space in the cab cannot be expanded either. This is the current pain point in the use of pickup trucks.

[0004] The pickup trucks currently in mass production use a load-bearing body with a closable door at the rear end of the cab to serve as a connection. However, the volume of the cab and cargo compartment cannot be changed, which cannot meet the requirements of more scenarios. Therefore, we propose a pickup truck with adjustable space. Summary of the Invention

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a new technical solution that can achieve expansion of the passenger compartment space and the cargo box space.

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pickup truck with adjustable space, comprising a pickup truck body, a passenger compartment and a cargo box located at the rear of the passenger compartment, the passenger compartment being open at one end adjacent to the cargo box, a stretching mechanism being provided at the junction of the passenger compartment and the cargo box, the stretching mechanism being slidably engaged with the cargo box along the length of the truck body, the stretching mechanism being slidably retracted and extended out of the passenger compartment, thereby forming an adjustable cavity together with the passenger compartment;

[0007] An extension liner is slidably provided in the cargo box, and the extension liner can be slid out of the cargo box along the length direction of the vehicle body, thereby expanding the space of the cargo box;

[0008] The stretching mechanism slides in the extension inner container, so that the stretching mechanism and the inner wall of the extension inner container together form an adjustable box;

[0009] A linking piece is provided between the stretching mechanism and the extension inner container, and the linking piece can connect and lock the stretching mechanism and the extension inner container.

[0010] Optionally, the stretching mechanism includes a stretching cover plate, a rear cover, and a partition plate. The stretching cover plate is arranged in a U-shape with an opening facing downward. The rear cover is fixedly installed at one end of the stretching cover plate away from the passenger compartment. The partition plate is arranged at the lower end of the rear cover.

[0011] The stretching cover plate can slide and retract into the passenger compartment, and the lower end of the stretching cover plate is slidably connected to the upper end of the cargo box.

[0012] The partition plate is located inside the extended inner liner, and a rubber strip is arranged at the junction of the partition plate and the extended inner liner, so as to seal the connection between the partition plate and the extended inner liner.

[0013] Optionally, a storage groove corresponding to the stretching cover plate is opened on the side wall of the passenger compartment, and the stretching cover plate can slide and be received into the storage groove; sliding grooves corresponding to the stretching cover plate are opened on the upper edges of both sides of the cargo box, and the two lower ends of the stretching cover plate are respectively slidably installed in the two groups of sliding grooves.

[0014] Optionally, a hand pull is arranged on the outer side wall of the stretching cover plate, and a positioning member is arranged on the cargo box. The positioning member is used to lock the stretching cover plate, so that the stretching cover plate cannot slide.

[0015] Optionally, the positioning member is set as a hand-tightening bolt. The hand-tightening bolt is threadedly installed on the outer side wall of the cargo box, and one end of the hand-tightening bolt extends into the sliding groove. By turning the hand-tightening bolt, the stretching cover plate can be tightened, so that the stretching cover plate cannot slide.

[0016] Optionally, the linkage member is arranged at the lower part of the rear cover. The linkage member can connect the rear cover and the extended inner liner, so that the extended inner liner slides synchronously with the stretching cover plate, the rear cover, and the partition plate.

[0017] Optionally, the linkage member is set as a hand-turn lock. The handle of the hand-turn lock is arranged on the side of the rear cover away from the passenger compartment. The lock tongue of the hand-turn lock is arranged at the lower end of the rear cover. A lock hole corresponding to the lock tongue is opened on the upper surface of the side wall of the extended inner liner. When the lock tongue is inserted into the lock hole, the extended inner liner is connected and locked with the rear cover.

[0018] Optionally, a support rod is slidably inserted at the end of the cargo box. A bracket is fixedly connected to the end of the support rod. The upper end of the bracket is fixedly connected to the bottom of the extended inner liner.

[0019] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, through the sliding of the stretching mechanism, the pick-up truck with an adjustable space can enable the space between the passenger compartment and the cargo box to be mutually converted, so that the user can allocate the space sizes of the passenger compartment and the cargo box according to needs. For example, when there is a lot of cargo and few passengers, the cargo box space can be increased and the passenger compartment space can be reduced. On the contrary, when there is little cargo and many passengers, the cargo box space can be reduced and the passenger compartment space can be increased.

[0020] At the same time, this pickup truck with adjustable space can also provide additional expansion methods when there is a lot of cargo and passengers: the cargo space of the cargo box is expanded by sliding out the extended inner liner. Therefore, when the extended inner liner is slid out, more space can be given to the passenger compartment without reducing the original cargo capacity. After the passenger compartment is expanded by the sliding stretching mechanism, the double increase of the cargo box space and the passenger compartment space can be achieved, thereby improving the vehicle usage experience.

[0033] Techniques, methods, and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be regarded as part of the specification.

[0034] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be construed as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Thus, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] As Figure 1-6 shown, a pick-up truck with an adjustable space provided by the present invention includes a pick-up truck body 1, a passenger compartment 2 is provided on the pick-up truck body 1, and a cargo box 3 is located at the tail of the passenger compartment 2. One end of the passenger compartment 2 close to the cargo box 3 is open, and a stretching mechanism 4 is provided at the junction of the passenger compartment 2 and the cargo box 3. The stretching mechanism 4 is slidably engaged with the cargo box 3 along the length direction of the vehicle body. The stretching mechanism 4 can be slidably retracted into or extended out of the passenger compartment 2, so that the stretching mechanism 4 and the passenger compartment 2 together form an adjustable cavity.

[0037] In this embodiment, the stretching mechanism 4 includes a stretching cover plate 41, a rear cover 42, and a partition plate 43. The stretching cover plate 41 is arranged in a U-shape with an open bottom. The rear cover 42 is fixedly installed at one end of the stretching cover plate 41 away from the passenger compartment 2, and the partition plate 43 is arranged at the lower end of the rear cover 42.

[0038] The stretching cover plate 41 can be slidably retracted into the passenger compartment 2, and the lower end of the stretching cover plate 41 is slidably connected to the upper end of the cargo box 3.

[0039] Therefore, when it is necessary to adjust the space between the passenger compartment 2 and the cargo box 3, the user only needs to hold the stretching cover plate 41 or the rear cover 42 and pull it along the length direction of the vehicle body, so that the stretching cover plate 41 can be extended out of or retracted into the passenger compartment 2, causing the size of the closed cavity formed among the passenger compartment 2, the stretching cover plate 41, the rear cover 42, the partition plate 43, and the cargo box 3 to change, and at the same time, causing the size of the open box formed among the stretching cover plate 41, the rear cover 42, the partition plate 43, and the cargo box 3 to change, achieving the adjustment of the space to meet different space requirements and greatly enriching the usage functions of the pick-up truck.

[0040] Specifically, a storage groove 201 corresponding to the stretching cover plate 41 is opened on the side wall of the passenger compartment 2, and the stretching cover plate 41 can be slidably retracted into the storage groove 201; sliding grooves 301 corresponding to the stretching cover plate 41 are opened on the upper edges of both sides of the cargo box 3, and both sides of the lower end of the stretching cover plate 41 are respectively slidably installed in the two groups of sliding grooves 301.

[0041] The design of the receiving groove 201 and the sliding groove 301 not only enables the horizontal sliding of the stretch cover 41, but also provides a guiding effect when the stretch cover 41 slides;

[0042] Furthermore, a hand handle 45 is provided on the outer side wall of the stretch cover 41, and a positioning member 7 is provided on the cargo box 3, which is used to lock the stretch cover 41 so that the stretch cover 41 cannot slide;

[0043] In this embodiment, the positioning member 7 is configured as a hand-tightening bolt, which is threadedly mounted on the outer wall of the cargo box 3, and one end of the hand-tightening bolt extends into the slide groove 301, so that the stretch cover plate 41 can be tightened by tightening the hand-tightening bolt, so that the stretch cover plate 41 cannot slide;

[0044] During use, the user pulls the stretch cover 41 by hand using the hand pull handle 45, and after reaching a suitable position, tightens the hand screw bolt by hand or using a wrench tool until the stretch cover 41 is locked and cannot slide.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] like Figure 1-6 As shown, an extension liner 5 is slidably provided in the cargo box 3. The extension liner 5 can slide out of the cargo box 3 along the length direction of the vehicle body, thereby expanding the space of the cargo box 3; the stretching mechanism 4 slides in the extension liner 5, so that the stretching mechanism 4 and the inner wall of the extension liner 5 together form an adjustable box body;

[0047] Therefore, when the space of the cargo box 3 needs to be adjusted, the cargo space of the cargo box 3 is expanded by sliding the extension liner 5. Therefore, when the extension liner 5 is slid out, more space can be given to the passenger compartment 2 without reducing the original cargo capacity. After the passenger compartment 2 is expanded by the sliding extension mechanism 4, the space of the cargo box 3 and the passenger compartment 2 can be double increased, thereby improving the vehicle usage experience.

[0048] Specifically, the partition plate 43 is located in the extended inner liner 5, and a rubber strip 44 is provided at the junction of the partition plate 43 and the extended inner liner 5, so that the connection between the partition plate 43 and the extended inner liner 5 is sealed;

[0049] By stretching the cover 41 to slide, the partition plate 43 is driven to slide, so that the size of the space formed by the partition plate 43 and the extended inner liner 5 is changed, and the cargo space is adjusted; and the rubber strip 44 forms a seal between the extended inner liner 5 and the partition plate 43, dividing the passenger compartment 2 into a sealed space, which is beneficial to dustproof, waterproof and heat-insulating the interior space of the vehicle; at the same time, the soft properties of the rubber strip 44 allow the partition plate 43 to still slide relative to the inner wall of the extended inner liner 5.

[0050] A support rod 8 is slidably inserted into the end of the cargo box 3 , and a bracket 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the support rod 8 . The upper end of the bracket 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the extended inner liner 5 .

[0051] After the extended inner liner 5 extends out of the cargo box 3, the support rod 8 can provide a stable support effect for the extended inner liner 5, thereby enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the cargo. At the same time, the sliding of the support rod 8 also provides a guiding effect for the sliding of the extended inner liner 5.

[0052] Example 3

[0053] like Figure 3-5 As shown, a linking member 6 is provided between the stretching mechanism 4 and the extension liner 5 , and the linking member 6 can connect and lock the stretching mechanism 4 and the extension liner 5 .

[0054] Therefore, when adjusting the size of the space between the passenger compartment 2 and the cargo box 3, the stretching mechanism 4 can be connected and locked with the extension liner 5 through the connecting part 6, so that the extension liner 5 can be pulled to move synchronously while pulling the stretching mechanism 4. This makes the cargo space in the extension liner 5 fixed in size. That is to say, when adjusting the stretching mechanism 4 to extend the space of the passenger compartment 2, the cargo space will not be affected, which greatly improves the convenience of operation.

[0055] Specifically, the linkage 6 is provided at the lower portion of the rear cover 42 , and the linkage 6 can connect the rear cover 42 with the extension liner 5 , so that the extension liner 5 slides synchronously with the stretch cover plate 41 , the rear cover 42 and the partition plate 43 ;

[0056] In this embodiment, the linkage 6 is configured as a hand-operated lock. The handle 61 of the hand-operated lock is disposed on the side of the rear cover 42 away from the passenger compartment 2. The lock tongue 62 of the hand-operated lock is disposed at the lower end of the rear cover 42. A lock hole 501 corresponding to the lock tongue 62 is formed on the upper surface of the side wall of the extended inner liner 5. When the lock tongue 62 is inserted into the lock hole 501, the extended inner liner 5 is connected and locked to the rear cover 42.

[0057] During specific use, the hand-turn lock can be opened or closed, so the synchronous movement of the stretching mechanism 4 and the extension liner 5 can be opened or closed, which is more convenient for adjustment operation;

[0058] It is worth noting that the linkage 6 can also be formed by other structures, such as electromagnetic lock, latch, electromagnetic pin, screw sleeve bolt connection, etc.

[0059] Although some specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above examples are for illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications may be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
