[0031] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0032] As described in the background art, the light-emitting components in the related technology are prone to burnout after a period of use, have a short service life, and require frequent replacement and maintenance. The inventors have found that the reason for this problem is that the sealing performance between the light-emitting component and the luggage rack is insufficient, which can easily cause rainwater to enter the luggage rack, resulting in a short circuit when the light-emitting component comes into contact with water, and causing the light-emitting component to burn out.

[0033] For the reasons mentioned above, this application provides a vehicle and its luggage rack that can improve sealing performance and extend service life.

[0034] See Figures 1 to 6 , Figure 1 A structural view of a vehicle's luggage rack according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 2 It shows Figure 1 The exploded structure diagram shown. Figure 3 This diagram shows another structural view of the luggage rack of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 A cross-sectional view of a vehicle's luggage rack according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 5 It shows Figure 4 Enlarged structural diagram at point A. Figure 6This diagram shows a cross-sectional view of a lampshade 30 and a light-emitting component 20 according to an embodiment of this application. An embodiment of this application provides a vehicle roof rack, which includes a housing 10, a light-emitting component 20, and a lampshade 30. The housing 10 is mounted on the top of a vehicle body (not shown), and its top wall 11 has at least one first through hole 111. The light-emitting component 20 is correspondingly disposed inside the housing 10, and includes at least one lamp wick 21. The lamp wick 21 is positioned correspondingly to the first through hole 111. At least one lampshade 30 is provided, and each lampshade 30 is correspondingly disposed and sealed to each first through hole 111. The lampshade 30 passes through the first through hole 111 and covers the outside of the lamp wick 21. The lampshade 30 is made of a light-transmitting material. Optionally, the lampshade 30 may be made of a light-transmitting material such as PMMA or PC, and the specific material can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs.

[0035] When the light-emitting component 20 of the aforementioned vehicle's roof rack is working, the light from the lamp core 21 shines upwards through the lamp cover 30 made of light-transmitting material, providing identification and allowing the owner to quickly pinpoint the vehicle's location among multiple vehicles. Furthermore, because the lamp cover 30 passes through the first through-hole 111 and covers the outside of the lamp core 21, and the lamp cover 30 and the first through-hole 111 are sealed together, rainwater above the roof rack can be effectively prevented from entering the lamp cover 30 through the first through-hole 111. This prevents rainwater from contacting the lamp core 21 and causing a short circuit or burnout, thus extending the lifespan of the light-emitting component 20. Additionally, the overall structure is compact, resulting in a small product size.

[0036] It should be noted that the outer casing 10 may be elongated, for example, rod-shaped, or can be flexibly adjusted and set into other regular or irregular shapes according to actual needs. Optionally, the outer casing 10 may be, but is not limited to, a metal casing or a non-metal casing. Among them, the metal casing may be, for example, an aluminum casing, a copper casing, a stainless steel casing, etc.

[0037] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the outer wall of the lampshade 30 is provided with threads, and the first through hole 111 is a threaded hole adapted to the threads. The threaded hole includes, but is not limited to, being machined on the housing 10 by milling and tapping. In this way, the lampshade 30 can be quickly installed and removed from the housing 10, resulting in high efficiency, while the lampshade 30 can be stably fixed to the housing 10.

[0038] In another embodiment, the lampshade 30 is snapped into the first through hole 111. In this way, the lampshade 30 can be quickly installed and removed from the housing 10, with high efficiency, while the lampshade 30 can be stably fixed to the housing 10.

[0039] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the upper outer wall of the lamp cover 30 is provided with a protrusion 31 protruding outwards from the lamp cover 30. The protrusion 31 is arranged circumferentially around the lamp cover 30, and the protrusion 31 is located outside the housing 10 and abuts against the housing 10. The vehicle's roof rack also includes a sealing ring 40 abutting between the protrusion 31 and the housing 10. Thus, after the lamp cover 30 is installed in the first through hole 111, the protrusion 31 presses and fixes the sealing ring 40 onto the housing 10, so that the first through hole 111 has good sealing performance.

[0040] Optionally, the sealing ring 40 may be, for example, an elastic ring. Furthermore, the sealing ring 40 may include, but is not limited to, an O-ring, a flat washer, etc.

[0041] In some alternative solutions, the lampshade 30 is not limited to the circumferential protrusion 31 provided in the above embodiment. The specific shape can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs, as long as it can cover the outside of the lamp core 21 and seal with the through hole.

[0042] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the light-emitting component 20 further includes a main board 22. The main board 22 is connected to the housing 10, the lamp wick 21 is connected to the main board 22, and the opening of the lamp cover 30 is in sealing contact with the surface of the main board 22. Thus, the opening of the lamp cover 30 is in tight contact with the surface of the main board 22, thereby providing a good sealing effect for the lamp wick 21 and preventing rainwater from entering the interior of the lamp cover 30 and contacting the lamp wick 21, which could damage the lamp wick 21.

[0043] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, the light-emitting component 20 further includes a cooling element 23 disposed on the motherboard 22. The cooling element 23 is connected to the lamp wick 21 in contact with it. Thus, when the lamp wick 21 is working, it generates a large amount of heat, and the cooling element 23, by contacting the lamp wick 21, can dissipate the heat in a timely manner, thereby ensuring the performance of the lamp wick 21.

[0044] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, the cooling element 23 includes a shell surrounding the bottom periphery of the lamp wick 21. The shell and the lamp wick 21 cooperate to form a sealed chamber 24 for housing the cooling medium. Thus, since the bottom of the lamp wick 21 generates a large amount of heat during operation, the heat generated by the lamp wick 21 is absorbed by the shell and the cooling medium inside the shell, allowing the heat generated by the lamp wick 21 to dissipate in a timely manner and preventing damage due to high temperature.

[0045] Please see Figure 6 Specifically, the lampshade 30 not only covers the outside of the lamp wick 21, but also covers the outside of the housing.

[0046] Optionally, the cooling medium may include, but is not limited to, ethanol, water, or other cooling media.

[0047] Please see Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 In one embodiment, the number of lamp wicks 21 is set to be multiple, the number of lamp covers 30 is set to be multiple, and the number of housings is set to be multiple. Each lamp cover 30 is set to correspond to each lamp wick 21, and each housing is set to correspond to each lamp wick 21.

[0048] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, the lampshade 30 is configured as a heat sink, and / or, the lampshade 30 is connected to a heat sink. Thus, the lampshade 30 is specifically made of a material with both heat dissipation and light transmission properties, allowing it to not only transmit light but also dissipate heat, resulting in multiple heat dissipation mechanisms for the lamp wick 21 and further improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0049] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the motherboard 22 is spaced from the bottom wall 12 of the housing 10, and the motherboard 22 is connected to the bottom wall 12 of the housing 10 via at least one support member 50. Thus, because the motherboard 22 and the housing 10 are spaced apart, the transfer of heat from the motherboard 22 to the housing 10 is reduced, thereby reducing heat transfer to the vehicle body.

[0050] Optionally, multiple support members 50 are provided, and the multiple support members 50 are connected to the bottom wall 12 of the housing 10 at intervals, so as to stably support the light-emitting component 20. Among them, the support members 50 include, but are not limited to, bolts, pins, snap-fit ​​components, columns, protrusions and other structures.

[0051] In one embodiment, the lamp wick 21 includes, but is not limited to, a laser lamp, an LED lamp, an incandescent lamp, a fluorescent lamp, or a halogen lamp.

[0052] In related technologies, when there are many vehicles in a parking lot, it can be difficult to find a vehicle due to obstructed view by other vehicles. In this embodiment, the lamp core 21 specifically adopts a laser lamp, so that when all the lamp cores 21 of the light-emitting component 20 are lit, the laser is projected onto the sky above the parking lot through the lamp cover 30, according to... Figure 3 The arrow indicates that the laser is emitted upwards. In a flat parking lot, the upward-emitting light source will not be blocked, making it easy for users to quickly locate their vehicles.

[0053] Of course, LED lights can also be used for lamp core 21. LED lights have a longer lifespan and are less prone to damage.

[0054] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 A structural diagram of a carrier component 60 according to an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0055] Figure 8 It shows Figure 7 Enlarged structural view at point B. In one embodiment, the vehicle's luggage rack also includes a support assembly 60 connected to the outer casing 10. The support assembly 60 includes a support plate 61, which is movably disposed directly above the outer casing 10 and is made of a light-transmitting material. Thus, on the one hand, the support plate 61, located directly above the outer casing 10, acts as a shield against rainwater from the outer casing 10, thereby improving the sealing performance and preventing the light-emitting component 20 from being damaged by rainwater, i.e., protecting the light-emitting component 20; on the other hand, the support plate 61 can support luggage and can move to a certain extent, providing cushioning when luggage on the luggage rack shakes, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the luggage rack.

[0056] Optionally, similar to lampshade 30, the carrier plate 61 may be made of light-transmitting materials such as PMMA and PC, and the specific materials may be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs.

[0057] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the shape of the support plate 61 is adapted to the top wall 11 of the outer casing 10. In this way, the support plate 61 protects the outer casing 10.

[0058] In some alternative solutions, the outer contour of the support plate 61 may differ from that of the top wall 11 of the outer shell 10. For example, the design size may be larger or smaller than the outer contour of the top wall 11 of the outer shell 10. The specific dimensions can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs.

[0059] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the supporting assembly 60 further includes a support plate 62 disposed inside the housing 10. The support plate 62 is connected to the housing 10 and has clearance holes 621 corresponding to the lamp wicks 21. Each lamp wick 21 passes through a corresponding clearance hole 621. The supporting plate 61 and the support plate 62 are movably connected.

[0060] The support plate 62 is connected to the housing 10 via a first fastener (not shown in the figure). Optionally, the first fastener may include, but is not limited to, screws, bolts, pins, rivets, snap fasteners, etc.

[0061] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 8In one embodiment, the support plate 61 is provided with a docking portion 611, and the support plate 62 is provided with a support 622 corresponding to the docking portion 611. The top wall 11 of the outer shell 10 is provided with a second through hole 112 corresponding to the support 622, and the support 622 extends through the second through hole 112 to the outside of the outer shell 10 and is movably connected to the docking portion 611.

[0062] It should be noted that the direction of movement of the support plate 61 on the top of the outer casing 10 can be one or more different directions, such as the left and right direction, the front and back direction, etc., along the driving direction. The specific direction can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

[0063] It should be noted that the "connection part 611" can be "a part of the support plate 61", that is, the "connection part 611" and "other parts of the support plate 61" are integrally formed; or it can be an independent component that can be separated from "other parts of the support plate 61", that is, the "connection part 611" can be manufactured independently and then combined with "other parts of the support plate 61" to form a whole.

[0064] It should be noted that the "support 622" can be "a part of the support plate 62", that is, the "support 622" and "other parts of the support plate 62" are integrally formed and manufactured; or it can be an independent component that can be separated from "other parts of the support plate 62", that is, the "support 622" can be manufactured independently and then combined with "other parts of the support plate 62" to form a whole.

[0065] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the docking portion 611 and the support 622 are connected via a rotating shaft 63. Optionally, the rotating shaft 63 is further provided with two anti-detachment members 64, which are located on opposite sides of the docking portion 611. Thus, the movement of the bearing plate 61 is around the central axis of the rotating shaft 63 (e.g., ...). Figure 5 Rotation (as indicated by arrow Z) allows for cushioning in the direction indicated by arrow Z. Optionally, when the central axis Z is set along the direction of travel, it also provides cushioning for luggage in the lateral direction of travel. Furthermore, the two anti-detachment components 64 prevent the rotating shaft 63 from falling off.

[0066] In one embodiment, the docking part 611 includes two docking plates that are spaced apart from each other, and the support 622 is rotatably disposed between the two docking plates.

[0067] Please see Figures 1 to 3In one embodiment, the housing 10 further includes an openable bottom wall 12. Specifically, the bottom wall 12 includes a plurality of interlocking bottom plates 121. Furthermore, the bottom wall 12 is detachably mounted to the vehicle body, for example, by at least one second fastener 122. The second fastener 122 includes, but is not limited to, screws, bolts, pins, rivets, snap fasteners, etc.

[0068] Please see Figures 1 to 6 In one embodiment, a vehicle is included, but is not limited to, automobiles, buses, cars, public transport vehicles, coaches, trucks, jeeps, trains, high-speed trains, etc. The vehicle includes a roof rack as described in any of the above embodiments, and also includes a vehicle body, with the roof rack disposed on the top of the vehicle body.

[0069] In the aforementioned vehicle, when the light-emitting component 20 is working, the light from the lamp core 21 shines through the light-transmitting material of the lamp cover 30 and is projected upwards onto the roof rack, thus serving an identification function and allowing the vehicle owner to quickly pinpoint the vehicle's location among multiple vehicles. Furthermore, since the lamp cover 30 passes through the first through-hole 111 and covers the outside of the lamp core 21, and the lamp cover 30 and the first through-hole 111 are sealed together, rainwater above the roof rack can be effectively prevented from entering the lamp cover 30 through the first through-hole 111. This prevents rainwater from contacting the lamp core 21 and causing a short circuit and burnout, thereby extending the lifespan of the light-emitting component 20. Additionally, the overall structure is compact, resulting in a small product size.

[0070] Please see Figure 9 In one embodiment, the vehicle further includes an on-board controller 70. The on-board controller 70 is electrically connected to the light-emitting component 20.

[0071] Please see Figure 9 In one embodiment, a car key 80 with communication capabilities is configured, and the car key 80 is electrically connected to the vehicle controller 70 via a wireless network. Optionally, the car key 80 may be equipped with a Bluetooth module, which is electrically connected to the vehicle controller 70. The operation buttons on the car key 80 can be used to control whether the light-emitting component 20 is working, thereby enabling all or some of the lamps 21 of the light-emitting component 20 to be lit.

[0072] Please see Figure 9 In one embodiment, the vehicle also includes an on-board power supply 90. The on-board power supply 90 is electrically connected to the main board 22 via wires to provide power to the light-emitting component 20, maintaining its normal operation. Furthermore, the on-board power supply 90 is also electrically connected to the on-board controller 70.
