Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicles, in particular to a luggage rack, a luggage rack assembly and a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] The luggage rack is a special device installed on the top of the vehicle for placing luggage, equipment or other various items.

[0003] In the related art, the principle of realizing the carrying function of the luggage rack is that the weight of the carried goods is transmitted to the longitudinal luggage rack through the connecting part of the transverse luggage rack and the longitudinal luggage rack, and the main fixed connection mode of the connecting part and the longitudinal luggage rack is fastening locking or mechanical structure clamping, and the load transmitted to the longitudinal luggage rack is dispersed by the design structure of the longitudinal luggage rack and further transmitted to the sheet metal to realize the final bearing function. In order to effectively transmit the bearing load, the longitudinal luggage rack usually needs to be arranged with 2-4 groups of support locking group structures composed of main parts such as pull rivet nuts, studs, support pads and sealing rings, and the support locking group structures are installed and fixed with the roof sheet metal. In addition, in order to realize the matching installation of the two transverse luggage racks arranged in the front-rear direction on the two longitudinal luggage racks respectively located on the opposite sides of the roof, two installation hole positions need to be additionally milled on the inner wall of each longitudinal luggage rack, and a hexagonal nut is pulled riveted at each installation hole position and fastened and locked with the screw on the transverse luggage rack. The transverse luggage rack needs to be designed with a buffer pad to avoid direct hard contact between the transverse luggage rack and the longitudinal luggage rack, which can cause damage to the surface coating of the longitudinal luggage rack, thereby causing performance degradation and appearance defects, and even rust marks.

[0004] However, the overall matching requirement of the assembly mode in the related art is high, the longitudinal luggage rack is difficult to process, the production rhythm is slow, and many accessories such as nuts need to be additionally installed, which leads to high overall manufacturing and processing cost of the product. In addition, since the bearing load of each transverse luggage rack is directly applied to the longitudinal luggage rack, the longitudinal luggage rack needs to have sufficient structural strength, and the greater the bearing load, the higher the required structural strength requirement. The wall thickness and extrusion cross-section structure shape of the longitudinal luggage rack are the main factors affecting the overall structural strength. The thicker the wall thickness of the longitudinal luggage rack, the more complex the extrusion cross-section structure shape, which not only leads to heavier weight of the luggage rack assembly and increases the manufacturing and processing difficulty, thereby further increasing the product cost, but also does not meet the current design concept of automobile lightweight and energy saving and emission reduction.

[0034] 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.

[0035] The longitudinal luggage rack in the related art can improve the bearing load when having sufficient structural strength, and the wall thickness of the longitudinal luggage rack is thicker, and the extrusion cross-section structure shape is more complex, which can cause the total weight of the luggage rack assembly to be heavier and the manufacturing and processing difficulty to be increased, and the product cost is further increased.

[0036] Therefore, the mounting structure of the transverse luggage rack in the related art is optimized and designed, the stress support point of the bearing load on the longitudinal luggage rack is transferred from the side to the top, so that the stress distribution uneven condition caused by the mutual pulling of the bearing load on the longitudinal luggage rack is effectively alleviated, and the uneven stress distribution needs to be strengthened by the overall structural strength of the longitudinal luggage rack to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the bearing load. The locking point is arranged on the top of the longitudinal luggage rack in the present application, so that only the local structure of the locking point area needs to be strengthened and designed, the structure of the luggage rack assembly can be simplified under the premise of ensuring the effective bearing function, the number of accessories installed is reduced, the overall weight of the luggage rack assembly is reduced, the modeling structure is optimized, the production and manufacturing cost is reduced, the lightweight design of truly energy saving and emission reduction is achieved, and the overall cost of the product is reduced.

[0037] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of the present application provides a luggage rack assembly for being arranged on a roof 10 of a vehicle, and the roof 10 includes but is not limited to a sheet metal part. The luggage rack assembly includes a luggage rack and a transverse luggage rack 40. The luggage rack includes a longitudinal luggage rack 20 and a support 30. The longitudinal luggage rack 20 is arranged on the roof 10, and the longitudinal luggage rack 20 is formed with a hole 201. The top surface of the longitudinal luggage rack 20 refers to the side surface of the longitudinal luggage rack 20 away from the roof 10, and the bottom surface of the longitudinal luggage rack 20 refers to the side surface of the longitudinal luggage rack 20 close to the roof 10. The support 30 is arranged in the hole 201, and the bottom of the support 30 is connected and fixed to the roof 10. The top of the support 30 is connected and fixed to the transverse luggage rack 40 outside the hole 201 and is used for bearing luggage.

[0038] It should be noted that the longitudinal direction X in the longitudinal luggage rack 20 includes but is not limited to the driving direction of the vehicle, and the driving direction of the vehicle is the direction in which the rear end of the vehicle points to the front end; the transverse direction Y in the transverse luggage rack 40 includes but is not limited to the direction perpendicular to the driving direction of the vehicle and parallel to the roof 10, that is, the direction in which the left side of the vehicle points to the right side.

[0039] The luggage rack assembly changes the way of dispersing load from the luggage to the roof 10 by the longitudinal luggage rack 20 in the prior art to the way of directly bearing the load by the support 30 and transmitting the load to the roof 10, and the longitudinal luggage rack 20 does not bear the load and only serves as a decorative part of the vehicle, thereby reducing the wall thickness of the longitudinal luggage rack 20, simplifying the cross-sectional structure shape and the assembly method, and reducing the number of accessories, so as to realize the true lightweight design and reduce the production cost.

[0040] In some embodiments, the longitudinal luggage rack 20 is provided as two and arranged in opposite directions, and the support 30 is provided as two and arranged in the holes 201 of the two longitudinal luggage racks 20, respectively, and the opposite ends of the transverse luggage rack 40 are connected to the two supports 30, respectively. Figure 1 Specifically, the transverse luggage rack 40 includes a transverse support rod 42 and two connecting brackets 41 fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the transverse support rod 42, respectively. Each connecting bracket 41 is connected to the support 30. In this way, the load of the transverse luggage rack 40 is transmitted to the two supports 30 through the two connecting brackets 41, respectively, and is transmitted to the roof 10 by the two supports 30, that is, the opposite ends of the transverse luggage rack 40 are stably supported by the roof 10.

[0041] In some embodiments, the longitudinal luggage rack 20 is provided as two and arranged in opposite directions, and the support 30 is provided as two and arranged in the holes 201 of the two longitudinal luggage racks 20, respectively, and the opposite ends of the transverse luggage rack 40 are connected to the two supports 30, respectively.

[0042] In some embodiments, the longitudinal luggage rack 20 is provided as two and arranged in opposite directions, and the support 30 is provided as two and arranged in the holes 201 of the two longitudinal luggage racks 20, respectively, and the opposite ends of the transverse luggage rack 40 are connected to the two supports 30, respectively. Figure 1 Specifically, the transverse luggage rack 40 includes a transverse support rod 42 and two connecting brackets 41 fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the transverse support rod 42, respectively. Each connecting bracket 41 is connected to the support 30. In this way, the load of the transverse luggage rack 40 is transmitted to the two supports 30 through the two connecting brackets 41, respectively, and is transmitted to the roof 10 by the two supports 30, that is, the opposite ends of the transverse luggage rack 40 are stably supported by the roof 10.

[0043] In some embodiments, the longitudinal luggage rack 20 comprises a shell 21 and a rib plate 22 connected with the inner wall of the shell 21. The shell 21 and the rib plate 22 are both arranged along the longitudinal direction X, including but not limited to being integrally formed by pultrusion of aluminum material. The rib plate 22 is arranged inside the shell 21 and can increase the structural strength of the shell 21. In addition, the rib plate 22 is connected and fixed with the inner wall of the shell 21 on opposite sides along the longitudinal direction X. The hole 201 not only penetrates the top wall 211 of the shell 21, but also penetrates the rib plate 22, so that the support 30 can be installed on the roof 10 in sequence after penetrating the top wall 211 and the rib plate 22.

[0044] Since the locking points in the present application are directly designed on the support 30, i.e. the bearing load is directly loaded on the support 30 and transmitted to the roof 10 by the support 30, so the longitudinal luggage rack 20 does not bear the load of the transverse luggage rack 40, and therefore the structural strength requirement of the longitudinal luggage rack 20 is not high, the overall modeling structure design is more flexible, and thus the maximum lightweight design can be realized. In some embodiments, the wall thickness d1 of the shell 21 is reduced from the conventional 2.0mm~2.5mm to 0.8mm~1.0mm, including but not limited to 0.8mm, 0.9mm and 1mm, etc., and of course can be set to any value outside 0.8mm~1.0mm according to actual needs. In addition, the thickness d2 of the rib plate 22 is reduced from the conventional 2.5mm~3.0mm to 1.0mm~1.2mm, including but not limited to 0.8mm, 0.9mm and 1mm, etc., and of course can be set to any value outside 0.8mm~1.0mm according to actual needs. As can be seen, the overall thinning rate of the longitudinal luggage rack 20 reaches more than 60%, and the weight of the longitudinal luggage rack 20 can be reduced by more than 50%. In addition, the number of accessories can be optimized, and the extrusion cross-section structure shape of the longitudinal luggage rack 20 is simplified, which is more beneficial to processing and molding, thereby reducing the production and manufacturing difficulty, so as to achieve the purpose of significant cost reduction and efficiency increase.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment, the outer periphery of the support 30 is provided with a mounting portion 31. The mounting portion 31 includes but is not limited to being arranged along the circumferential direction of the support 30, or being arranged in multiple and spaced along the outer periphery of the support 30. In addition, the mounting portion 31 is located below the rib plate 22 and is connected and fixed with the rib plate 22. In this way, on the one hand, the support 30 is connected and fixed with the rib plate 22 through the mounting portion 31 to be fixedly installed on the longitudinal luggage rack 20, which can improve the stability of the support 30; on the other hand, since the mounting portion 31 of the support 30 is located below the rib plate 22, so the load borne by the support 30 will not be transmitted downward to the longitudinal luggage rack 20 through the rib plate 22, thereby meeting the lightweight design of the longitudinal luggage rack 20.

[0046] Specifically, the luggage rack assembly further comprises a connecting piece 51. The mounting portion 31 is connected and fixed with the rib plate 22 through the connecting piece 51. The connecting piece 51 includes but is not limited to one, two, three, four or more. Among them, the mounting portion 31 is connected with the rib plate 22 through a plurality of first fasteners 52, and the stability is good. In addition, the connecting piece 51 includes but is not limited to a screw, a pin, a rivet and the like. In the embodiment, the connecting piece 51 is specifically, for example, a blind rivet, and the assembly efficiency is high. Of course, the mounting portion 31 is not limited to the above-mentioned manner of being connected and fixed on the rib plate 22 through the connecting piece 51, but can also be connected and fixed with the rib plate 22 through various ways such as bonding, welding, clamping and the like, and can be flexibly selected according to actual needs.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment, the mounting portion 31 is, for example, a plate member arranged in the circumferential direction of the support piece 30, and the outer periphery of the support piece 30 is also provided with a first reinforcing piece 32 connected with the mounting portion 31. Specifically, the first reinforcing piece 32 includes but is not limited to a reinforcing rib, a reinforcing plate, a reinforcing column, a reinforcing rod and the like, as long as it can increase the structural strength of the mounting portion 31, thereby improving the overall mounting stability.

[0048] It should be noted that the mounting manner of the support piece 30 on the roof 10 is various, including but not limited to bonding, clamping, welding, riveting, screwing and the like, and can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment, the luggage rack assembly further comprises a first fastener 52. The first fastener 52 is connected and fixed with the support piece 30 through the roof 10. The first fastener 52 includes but is not limited to a screw, a pin, a rivet and the like.

[0050] In one embodiment, the luggage rack assembly further comprises a second reinforcing piece 53 connected and fixed with the roof 10 and arranged in position corresponding to the support piece 30. In this way, the second reinforcing piece 53 can increase the structural strength of the roof 10, and can prevent the roof 10 from being deformed and damaged due to excessive local stress. Specifically, the second reinforcing piece 53 includes but is not limited to a reinforcing plate, a reinforcing block, a reinforcing rod and the like. In addition, in the installation process, the second reinforcing piece 53 is connected and fixed with the roof 10 together with the support piece 30 through a second fastener 55, so that the installation efficiency is higher than that of being respectively installed and fixed on the roof 10.

[0051] It should be noted that the position corresponding arrangement means that the projection of the second reinforcing piece 53 along the thickness direction of the roof 10 at least partially overlaps or completely overlaps with the projection of the support piece 30.

[0052] In one embodiment, the luggage rack assembly further comprises a sealing ring 54. The first fastener 52 comprises a stud 521 and a flange nut 522. The opposite ends of the stud 521 are respectively connected and fixed with the support 30 and the flange nut 522, the sealing ring 54 is sleeved on the outer portion of the stud 521 and penetrates the first mounting hole of the roof 10, the flange nut 522 is located on the side of the roof 10 away from the support 30 and is abuttingly fixed with one end of the sealing ring 54, and the outer wall of the stud 521 is provided with a limiting portion abuttingly fixed with the other end of the sealing ring 54. In this way, not only can the support 30 be stably mounted on the roof 10, but also the sealing performance can be improved due to the provision of the sealing ring 54, and the installation operation is convenient and fast.

[0053] In one embodiment, the end of the transverse luggage rack 40 is provided with a connecting bracket 41. The connecting bracket 41 is mounted on the top of the support 30. In use, the load borne by the transverse luggage rack 40 will be transmitted downward to the support 30 through the connecting bracket 41, and then transmitted downward to the roof 10 by the support 30.

[0054] The connecting bracket 41 can be detachably mounted on the top of the support 30, so that the transverse luggage rack 40 can be detached when it is not needed to be used, or the connecting bracket 41 can be non-detachably mounted on the top of the support 30. In this embodiment, the connecting bracket 41 is detachably mounted on the top of the support 30, and when it is not needed to be used, the transverse luggage rack 40 is detached, and then a decorative cover 60 can be arranged at the mounting position of the connecting bracket 41 to shield the mounting position, so as to improve the appearance effect of the product.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment, the luggage rack assembly further comprises a second fastener 55. The connecting bracket 41 is connected with a third reinforcing member 43, the third reinforcing member 43 abuts against the top surface of the support 30 and is connected and fixed with the support 30 through the second fastener 55. In this way, the structural strength of the third reinforcing member 43 is greater than that of the connecting bracket 41, i.e., the structural strength of the third reinforcing member 43 is relatively large, so as to improve the connection stability of the connecting bracket 41 and the support 30 and reduce the defects of vibration and loosening.

[0056] Optionally, the third reinforcing member 43 is made of, but not limited to, metal materials such as aluminum, iron, copper and alloy materials thereof, which have relatively large structural strength and are not easy to be deformed and damaged. Of course, some non-metal materials with relatively large hardness and strength can also be selected according to actual needs, such as hard plastic plates, hard resin plates, ceramic plates and the like.

[0057] In some embodiments, the third reinforcing member 43 includes, but is not limited to, being embeddedly fixed to the bottom of the connecting bracket 41, specifically, being integrally injection molded with the connecting bracket 41, which is of high production efficiency, stable fixing effect, and high appearance quality; or being adhesively fixed to the bottom of the connecting bracket 41 or being fixed to the bottom of the connecting bracket 41 in other manners.

[0058] In some embodiments, the support member 30 includes, but is not limited to, being a support block, a support column, a support rod, etc., and the third reinforcing member 43 includes, but is not limited to, being a reinforcing plate, the reinforcing plate being stacked on the top surface of the support member 30 and being connected and fixed to the support member 30 by the second fastener 55 penetrating through the reinforcing plate. Optionally, the second fastener 55 includes, but is not limited to, being a screw, a pin, a rivet, a clamping member, etc., which can be flexibly adjusted and arranged according to actual needs, and is not limited herein. In this embodiment, the first fastener 52 is arranged as a screw, and the top surface of the support member 30 is formed with a mounting hole matched with the screw. In addition, the second fastener 55 includes, but is not limited to, being one, two, three, or more in number.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the connecting bracket 41 includes a skeleton 411 and at least one support leg 412 fixedly connected with the skeleton 411. The skeleton 411 is made of hard material and has an assembly gap 413 formed with the top surface of the longitudinal luggage rack 20, and the support leg 412 is made of soft material and tightly abuts against the top surface of the longitudinal luggage rack 20. Specifically, the support leg 412 is arranged in a periphery of the bottom surface of the skeleton 411 in a circumferential direction, thereby protruding below the bottom surface of the skeleton 411. In this way, during assembly, the connecting bracket 41 tightly abuts against the longitudinal luggage rack 20 through the support leg 412 made of soft material, thereby playing a supporting role, and the skeleton 411 made of hard material does not contact the top surface of the longitudinal luggage rack 20 due to the assembly gap 413, thereby effectively avoiding unnecessary surface scratching and coating damage of the longitudinal luggage rack 20 caused by the connecting bracket 41 during assembly. In addition, the support leg 412 and the longitudinal luggage rack 20 are designed to have an interference amount, and the soft material is deformable under stress, thereby avoiding the above-mentioned scratching and coating damage, and avoiding wind noise caused by a gap at a lap joint between the top surface of the support member 30 and the support leg 412. In addition, the skeleton 411 is made of hard material, thereby ensuring a large enough bearing strength of the connecting bracket 41 and realizing stable bearing of luggage.

[0060] In some embodiments, the skeleton 411 and the support leg 412 include, but are not limited to, being integrally formed by two-material injection molding. In this way, not only is the production efficiency high, but also stable connection of the two can be realized. Of course, the skeleton 411 and the support leg 412 can also be adhesively fixed to each other or be fixed to each other by a pin, a rivet, a screw, a clamping member, etc.

[0061] In one embodiment, the support 30 is fixed from bottom to top when installed, the connecting bracket 41 is fixed to the support 30 by the second fastener 55, and the support 30 is fixed to the roof 10 by the stud 521 and the flange nut 522. The load is transmitted from top to bottom, so the longitudinal luggage rack 20 does not directly bear the load, and the load can be directly transmitted to the roof panel by the support block.

[0062] Referring to Figures 5 to 8 When the vehicle is not installed with the transverse luggage rack 40, in order not to affect the appearance of the vehicle, in one embodiment, the luggage rack assembly further comprises a decorative cover 60 detachably installed in the hole 201. The transverse luggage rack 40 is detachably connected to the support 30. When the transverse luggage rack 40 is detached from the support 30, the decorative cover 60 is installed in the hole 201, thereby covering the installation position of the transverse luggage rack 40 on the support 30, so as to improve the appearance quality of the product.

[0063] In one embodiment, when the decorative cover 60 is installed in the hole 201, the top surface of the decorative cover 60 is flush with the top surface of the longitudinal luggage rack 20. In this way, the top surface integrity of the longitudinal luggage rack 20 can be achieved, the appearance quality of the product can be improved, and the overall appearance of the longitudinal luggage rack 20 is not affected.

[0064] Of course, in some embodiments, the top surface of the decorative cover 60 can also be slightly lower or higher than the top surface of the longitudinal luggage rack 20, which can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs, and is not limited herein.

[0065] Referring to Figures 6 to 8 In one embodiment, the decorative cover 60 and the longitudinal luggage rack 20 comprise but are not limited to a clamping connection. Specifically, the longitudinal luggage rack 20 is provided with a barb 202, and the decorative cover 60 is provided with a buckle 601 clamped with the barb 202. When the buckle 601 is clamped with the barb 202, the function of preventing natural disengagement can be achieved.

[0066] Referring to Figures 6 to 8 In one embodiment, the outer periphery of the decorative cover 60 is formed with a relief groove 602 recessed away from the hole wall of the hole 201. Specifically, the relief groove 602 is provided with two, for example, on opposite sides of the decorative cover 60. In this way, the relief groove 602 provides operation space, which can facilitate prying and removing the decorative cover 60, and then installing the transverse luggage rack 40 on the support 30.

[0067] Referring to Figures 6 to 8In some embodiments, the decorative cover 60 comprises a cover plate 61 and a surrounding plate 62 connected to the cover plate 61. The support 30 is formed with a step 33, and the surrounding plate 62 abuts against the step 33 to limit the position.
