Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle bicycle rack products, and more particularly to a trunk-mounted vehicle bicycle rack that can be quickly disassembled, folded, and stored. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, many families often bring bicycles and other sports equipment when they go on road trips or exercise. Due to the limited space inside the car or in the trunk, bicycles can only be fixed to the rear of the car, that is, outside the trunk. Generally, bicycles are fixed to a bicycle rack on the car, which is then fixed to the outside of the trunk.

[0003] Currently, car bicycle racks are relatively fixed and cannot have their support angle adjusted. They are only suitable for cars of the same or similar models and are difficult to use interchangeably with different models. For example, the structures of car bicycle racks for sedans and SUVs are quite different, and the angle of the car bicycle rack cannot be adjusted to fit different types of cars.

[0004] To solve the above problems, there is an urgent need to invent a quick-assembly, folding and storage trunk-mounted bicycle rack to address the issues of rapid folding and storage as well as adjustment of the support angle. Summary of the Invention
