The rotating block 4 is fixedly connected to a baffle 5 located on the bottom side of the cover plate 3. The rotating block 4 drives the baffle 5 to be in a horizontal or vertical state with the cover plate 3.

[0021] The rotating block 4 and the baffle 5 are both inserted with a fixed rod 6. The fixed rod 6 is sleeved with a clamping block 7. The cover plate 3 is placed on the clamping block 7 under the condition of gravity. The connection and disassembly are convenient. The cargo box 2 is provided with a clamping groove 11 on one side, and a clamping strip 12 is slidably connected in the clamping groove 11. The bottom side of the clamping strip 12 is provided with an inclined surface. The clamping strip 12 is fixedly connected with the clamping block 7 by casting. By setting the clamping strip 12 and the clamping groove 11, the cover plate 3 can be disassembled together with the clamping block 7 by moving, and the disassembly is simple.

[0022] A screw hole is formed in the fixed rod 6, and a positioning hole 8 is formed in the clamping block 7. A positioning rod 9 is inserted into the positioning hole 8. The positioning rod 9 is threadedly connected with the screw hole of the fixed rod 6. The stability of the connection between the clamping block 7 and the fixed rod 6 is realized by threadedly connecting the screw hole of the fixed rod 6 with the positioning rod 9 and inserting the positioning hole 8, so as to reduce the shaking of the cover plate 3 during the movement of the vehicle body 1.

[0023] The positioning rod 9 is in contact with the cushion block 10, the cushion block 10 is glued in the positioning hole 8, the friction can be provided when the positioning rod 9 is inserted, the stable connection relationship can be formed, and the stability of the cover plate 3 during movement is improved.

[0024] The clamping block 7 is fixedly connected with the clamping plate 18 on one side, the distance between the clamping plate 18 and the clamping block 7 is consistent with the edge thickness of the box 2, the clamping plate 18 is located on one side of the positioning hole 8, the clamping plate 18 can be in contact with and clamped with the edge of the box 2 by being arranged, the stability of the clamping groove 11 and the clamping strip 12 is improved, and the cover plate 3 is prevented from falling off.

[0025] The rotating block 4 is adjusted according to the amount of goods, when the goods are more, the rotating block 4 is rotated to make the baffle 5 perpendicular to the cover plate 3, the fixed rod 6 on the baffle 5 is inserted into the clamping block 7, and the positioning rod 9 is screwed into the screw hole on the fixed rod 6 and inserted into the positioning hole 8 to realize connection.

[0030] By arranging the displacement balls 19, the displacement balls 19 are matched with the fixed pressing rod 20 and the extrusion plate 21 after displacement, the movement and fixation of the clamping block 7 can be realized, and the installation speed of the clamping block 7 is improved.

[0031] In the embodiment 3, when the baffle 5 is in the unfolded state, the cover plate 3 is not provided with protection on the side close to the vehicle body 1 and the side away from the vehicle body 1, which causes the goods to be damaged in the rain, and the two cover plates 3 are connected by the hinges, which causes the gap between the two cover plates 3, resulting in damage to the goods.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-5 The embodiment 1 is further improved.

[0033] The baffle 5 has the same length as the unfolded folding piece 14, one end of the folding piece 14 is fixedly connected in the first groove 13, the first groove 13 is located on both sides of the cover plate 3, and the length of the folding piece 14 can be extended to be the same as that of the baffle 5, so that the side of the cover plate 3 close to the vehicle body 1 and the side away from the vehicle body 1 can be protected.

[0034] The spring needle 17 is inserted into the cover plate 3, the weight block 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the folding piece 14, the weight block 15 is made of a magnetic material, the cover plate 3 is inserted into the first groove 13 and connected with the spring needle 17, the weight block 15 is moved out of the first groove 13 by pressing the spring needle 17, and the weight block 15 is naturally lowered by gravity and contacts and is attracted to the side wall of the container 2, so that the side of the cover plate 3 can be protected.

[0035] The moisture-proof pad 16 is glued to the weight block 15, the moisture-proof pad 16 is made of rubber material and has an arc structure, and the moisture-proof pad 16 is provided on the weight block 15, so that the gap between the two adjacent cover plates 3 can be provided with waterproof effect.

[0036] The distance between the spring needle 17 and the port of the first groove 13 is 5 cm, and the thickness of the weight block 15 is 5 cm, the weight block 15 is moved to the port of the first groove 13, the moisture-proof pads 16 on the two weight blocks 15 are opposite to each other, the moisture-proof pads 16 are extruded and deformed when the hinges are rotated to make the two cover plates 3 parallel, so that the gap is compacted and the rain erosion is reduced.

[0037] After the cover plates 3 are installed, the cover plates 3 close to the vehicle body 1 and the container 2 are marked, the folding piece 14 is automatically unfolded by pressing the spring needle 17, the weight block 15 is attracted to the side wall of the container 2, the other weight blocks 15 are moved to the port of the first groove 13, the spring needle 17 abuts against the weight block 15, the moisture-proof pads 16 between the two adjacent cover plates 3 are in opposite structures, and the moisture-proof pads 16 are extruded when the hinges are rotated to make the two moisture-proof pads 16 parallel, so that the moisture-proof pads 16 compact the gap between the two adjacent cover plates 3 and are deformed to compact the gap, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0038] While embodiments of the application have been shown and described, it is to be understood that the embodiments described are merely exemplary of the principles and application of the present application. Numerous modifications and adaptions can be effected without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, which is not limited to the exact construction and arrangement described. It is intended, therefore, to cover all modifications and adaptions that fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents.
