[0038] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0039] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The vehicle 100 includes a body 40 and a roof rack 50, with the roof rack 50 mounted on the body 40. The inner side of the body 40 is the interior of the vehicle 100, and the outer side is the exterior of the vehicle 100. The body 40 has a through hole connecting the inner and outer sides of the body 40. The roof rack 50 includes a main body 10 and a locking structure 20. The locking structure 20 is mounted on the inner side of the body 40, and the main body 10 is mounted on the outer side of the body 40. The locking structure 20 includes a sleeve, and the main body 10 is detachably connected to the sleeve. When the main body 10 is needed, it is mounted on the sleeve; when the main body 10 needs to be removed, it is removed from the sleeve. Thus, the main body 10 of the roof rack 50 is detachable, avoiding the main body 10 from increasing the overall weight of the vehicle 100 when it is not needed, and avoiding the main body 10 from increasing airflow resistance during vehicle 100 operation. Furthermore, the locking structure 20 of the luggage rack 50 is placed inside the vehicle body 40, ensuring the integrity and aesthetics of the exterior of the vehicle body 40 after the main body 10 is unloaded.
[0040] It should be noted that the luggage rack 50 can be installed on the top of the vehicle 100, or on the back of the vehicle 100, or on other positions of the vehicle 100, and the embodiments of the present application do not strictly limit this. The vehicle body 40 can be sheet metal, or other accessories such as glass, and the embodiments of the present application do not strictly limit this. The embodiments of the present application only take the example of the luggage rack 50 being installed on the top of the vehicle 100 and the vehicle body 40 being a roof sheet metal for description.
[0041] In the embodiment, the vehicle 100 further comprises a controller, which can control the sleeve to move between the inside and the outside of the vehicle body 40. When it is needed to assemble the main body 10 to the sleeve, the controller can control the sleeve to extend to the outside of the vehicle body 40 through the through hole of the vehicle body 40, so as to mount the main body 10 to the vehicle body 40; when it is not needed to assemble the main body 10 to the sleeve, after the main body 10 is separated from the sleeve, the controller can control the sleeve to retract to the inside of the vehicle body 40 through the through hole of the vehicle body 40. Thus, by setting the controller and making the controller control the lifting of the sleeve, when the sleeve is not needed to be used, the sleeve can be retracted to the inside of the vehicle body 40, so as to avoid the sleeve increasing the driving resistance of the vehicle 100, while ensuring the overall integrity and aesthetic degree of the outside of the vehicle body 40.

The two limiting holes 44 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the through hole 43 along the width direction of the vehicle body 40 and are spaced apart from the through hole 43. Along the thickness direction of the vehicle body 40, the two limiting holes 44 penetrate the outer surface 41 and the inner surface 42. In other embodiments, the two limiting holes 44 can also be located on the opposite sides of the through hole 43 along other directions; or there can be no two limiting holes 44.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 9In the embodiment, the locking structure 20 is assembled on the vehicle body 40. Specifically, the side plate 212 of the fixing frame 21 is fixed on the inner surface 42 of the vehicle body 40. The fixing plate 211 of the fixing frame 21 is spaced apart from the inner surface 42 of the vehicle body 40 along the thickness direction of the vehicle body 40. The moving cavity of the fixing frame 21 is located between the fixing plate 211 and the vehicle body 40. The through hole 43 of the vehicle body 40 is in communication with the moving cavity of the fixing frame 21. The lifting member 22 is fixed on the vehicle body 40 through the fixing frame 21. Specifically, the lifting member 22 is fixed on the fixing plate 211 and located on the side of the fixing plate 211 away from the vehicle body 40. The piston rod 222 of the lifting member 22 penetrates the moving hole 2113 and the moving cavity. The sleeve 23 is located in the moving cavity and fixedly connected with the piston rod 222. Along the thickness direction of the vehicle body 40, the orthographic projection of the sleeve 23 is located in the orthographic projection of the through hole 43. The controller can control the lifting member 22 to drive the sleeve 23 to reciprocate along the direction from the inner surface 42 of the vehicle body 40 to the outer surface 41 of the vehicle body 40. Specifically, the controller controls the second end of the piston rod 222 to move in the moving cavity, the piston rod 222 drives the sleeve 23 to move along the cavity wall of the moving cavity, and the fixed cavity of the sleeve 23 can extend into the through hole 43 of the vehicle body 40.
[0062] See Figure 10In the embodiment, the main body 10 is assembled to the vehicle body 40 through the locking structure 20. The mounting part 12 of the main body 10 is fixed to the outer surface 41 of the vehicle body 40, and the buffer pad 122 is located between the mounting part 121 and the vehicle body 40 along the thickness direction of the luggage rack 50. The mounting hole 1214 of the mounting part 12 at least partially overlaps the through hole 43 of the vehicle body 40 along the thickness direction of the vehicle body 40. The sleeve 23 is arranged in the through hole 43 of the vehicle body 40. The opening of the sleeve 23 is located on the outer side of the vehicle 100, and the opening of the sleeve 23 is located in the mounting hole 1214 of the mounting part 12. The fixing part 30 passes through the mounting hole 1214 of the mounting part 121 and the fixing cavity of the sleeve 23, and is fixedly connected with the sleeve 23. Specifically, in the embodiment, the pressure head 31 of the fixing part 30 is located in the first hole 1214a, and the pressure head 31 is crimped on the step between the first hole 1214a and the second hole 1214b. The screw rod 32 of the fixing part 30 is threadedly connected with the cavity wall of the fixing cavity of the sleeve 23. The support plate 233 of the sleeve 23 abuts against the inner surface 42 of the vehicle body 40. At this time, the lead hole 2321 and the lamp group 24 are arranged in a staggered manner with the fixing part 30 along the thickness direction of the vehicle body 40, that is, there is no interference between the fixing part 30 and the power line in the lamp group 24 and the lead hole 2321. In the embodiment, the sealing ring 60 is further arranged between the vehicle body 40 and the main body 10, which is used to ensure the waterproof performance of the vehicle 100, prevent water from entering the through hole 43 of the vehicle body 40 from the gap between the vehicle body 40 and the main body 10, and further prevent water from entering the inside of the vehicle 100. The gasket 70 is further arranged between the pressure head 31 of the fixing part 30 and the step, which is used to buffer the pressure of the pressure head 31 of the fixing part 30 on the step, so as to avoid that the mounting part 12 is easily damaged under the action of the fixing part 30.
[0063] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the sleeve 23 can only be arranged in the through hole 43 of the vehicle body 40 and not reach the outer side of the vehicle body 40, and only the fixing part 30 can be threadedly connected with the sleeve 23. When the hole wall of the mounting hole 1214 of the mounting part 12 is provided with threads and matches the threads of the screw rod 32 of the fixing part 30, the inner diameter of the mounting hole 1214 of the mounting part 12 is the same as the inner diameter of the fixing cavity of the sleeve 23. At this time, the pressure head 31 of the fixing part 30 is crimped on the step, and the screw rod 32 of the fixing part 30 is threadedly connected with the peripheral side plate 232 of the mounting part 12 and the sleeve 23 at the same time.
[0064] The process of assembling the main body 10 of the present embodiment to the vehicle body 40 is as follows: the controller controls the piston rod 222 of the lifting member 22 to move in the moving cavity of the fixed frame 21, the piston rod 222 drives the sleeve 23 to move in the moving cavity of the fixed frame 21, and the sleeve 23 extends into the through hole 43 of the vehicle body 40, and the support plate 233 of the sleeve 23 abuts against the inner surface 42 of the vehicle body 40. The sealing ring 60 is placed on the outer surface 41 of the vehicle body 40. The end cap 13 of the main body 10 is disassembled, the mounting member 12 of the main body 10 is placed on the outer surface 41 of the vehicle body 40, and the mounting hole 1214 of the mounting member 12 is opposite to the through hole 43 of the vehicle body 40, and the sealing ring 60 is clamped between the vehicle body 40 and the mounting member 12. The gasket 70 is placed at the end of the mounting hole 1214 of the mounting member 12, and then the fixing member 30 is inserted into the mounting hole 1214, so that the pressure head 31 of the fixing member 30 is crimped to the step, and the screw rod 32 of the fixing member 30 is threadedly connected with the cavity wall of the fixing cavity of the sleeve 23, so that the mounting member 12 is fixedly connected with the locking structure 20, and then the main body 10 is mounted to the vehicle body 40. The end cap 13 is again covered on the mounting member 12 of the main body 10. In this process, when the controller detects the movement of the sleeve 23, the controller controls the light group 24 to emit light, so as to avoid the position of the main body 10 and the sleeve 23 being unable to be seen clearly during the operation at night. The light-emitting time of the light group 24 is set to 10 minutes, and when the main body 10 is assembled, the light group 24 is automatically turned off, so as to avoid wasting electric energy.
[0065] The process of disassembling the main body 10 of the present embodiment from the vehicle body 40 is as follows: the end cap 13 of the main body 10 is disassembled, the fixing member 30 is disassembled, the mounting member 12 is separated from the sleeve 23, and the gasket 70, the mounting member 12 and the sealing ring 60 are removed. The controller controls the sleeve 23 to move into the through hole 43 of the vehicle body 40 or to be located on the inner side of the vehicle body 40. In this process, when the controller detects the movement of the sleeve 23, the controller controls the light group 24 to emit light, so as to avoid the position of the main body 10 and the sleeve 23 being unable to be seen clearly during the operation at night. The light-emitting time of the light group 24 is set to 10 minutes, and when the main body 10 is disassembled, the light group 24 is automatically turned off, so as to avoid wasting electric energy,
[0066] It can be understood that when the main body 10 needs to be used, the sleeve 23 of the locking structure 20 moves along the inner surface 42 to the outer surface 41 of the vehicle body 40, so that the sleeve 23 extends out of the through hole 43 of the vehicle body 40, and the mounting part 121 of the mounting member 12 is connected with the sleeve 23, so that the main body 10 is mounted; when the main body 10 needs to be disassembled, the mounting part 121 of the main body 10 is disassembled from the sleeve 23, so that the main body 10 is disassembled. Therefore, by detachably connecting the mounting part 121 of the main body 10 with the sleeve 23, the main body 10 can be mounted and disassembled according to the use requirement, so that when the main body 10 is not used, the main body 10 does not increase the overall weight of the vehicle 100, and when the vehicle 100 is running, the main body 10 does not increase the air flow resistance. At the same time, when the main body 10 is disassembled from the sleeve 23, the controller can control the sleeve 23 to move along the outer surface 41 to the inner surface 42 of the vehicle body 40, and finally the sleeve 23 is retracted into the through hole 43 of the vehicle body 40 or the inner side of the vehicle body 40, so that the sleeve 23 does not affect the air flow during the running of the vehicle 100. During the movement of the sleeve 23, the controller detects the movement of the sleeve 23, and the controller controls the light group 24 to emit light, so that the position of the main body 10 and the sleeve 23 cannot be seen during night operation.
[0067] In addition, when the luggage is placed on the main body 10, the luggage will exert pressure on the main body 10, and the pressure will be conducted to the vehicle body 40 through the mounting member 12. When the luggage is disassembled and the main body 10 is not disassembled, and the vehicle 100 is running, the main body 10 will be subjected to a pulling force away from the vehicle body 40, which is conducted to the mounting member 12 through the main body 10, and then to the fixing member 30, and further to the sleeve 23. By arranging the support plate 233, the pulling force can directly act on the support plate 233, so that the pulling force does not directly act on the lifting member 22, and the lifting member 22 is prevented from being subjected to a long-term upward pulling force and being damaged.

The second sub-limiting body 832 is in the shape of a sheet, and is fixed to the surface of the first sub-limiting body 831 which is away from the cover body 81. The orthographic projection of the first sub-limiting body 831 is located in the orthographic projection of the second sub-limiting body 832 along the thickness direction of the sealing cover 80, that is, the second sub-limiting body 832 protrudes from the edge of the first sub-limiting body 831. The number of the limiting bodies 83 is two, and they are respectively located at the opposite sides of the fixing body 82. The sealing groove 85 is in the shape of a ring, and is recessed in the back surface 812 of the cover body 81.
