Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular to a vehicle interior item suspension mounting device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the automotive industry and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the expandability and space utilization of car interior functions have gradually become important demands for users, and even major considerations when purchasing a car. Whether it's OEM modifications or aftermarket modifications, the utilization of interior space and the diversification of functions have always been the goals pursued by various modifiers. Many OEM modifications offer modification solutions such as magic seats, luggage nets, trunk lids, and center storage boxes, which can improve the utilization of interior space and increase the car's storage capacity. It is evident that to meet people's needs for driving, especially for travel, maximizing interior storage space and functional expansion, and giving ordinary cars more of the attributes of motorhomes, is a major trend.

[0003] In SUVs and MPVs, manufacturers typically offer 5-seater and 7-seater versions for customers to choose from. While the number of seats differs across these versions, the body structure is usually shared. Therefore, in 5-seater models, mounting points for passenger grab handles are often provided at the roof edge beams on the outer roof panel. However, when camping, it's sometimes necessary to hang clothing, blankets, sheets, camping mats, etc., inside the vehicle, or to provide privacy. Most vehicles lack effective methods for hanging these items. Therefore, a new in-vehicle item hanging device is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vehicle interior item hanging and mounting device to solve the problem that it is inconvenient to hang clothes, sunshades and other items inside the vehicle when camping outdoors in existing models.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] A vehicle interior item suspension mounting device includes a crossbar, with fixed seats connected to both the left and right sides of the crossbar. A base is connected to the fixed seat, and the base is provided with a base mounting hole for screw connection with the handle mounting points on the left and right sides of the vehicle body.

[0007] Preferably, in conjunction with the above scheme, the upper and lower sides of the fixing base are respectively provided with a first connecting hole and a fixing hole. The first connecting hole is connected to the base by a screw, and the fixing hole is used to pass through a fastening bolt.

[0008] Preferably, in conjunction with the above scheme, the fixing seat is provided with a crossbar fixing hole at the position between the first connecting hole and the fixing hole, and the crossbar fixing hole is used for the crossbar to pass through.

[0009] Preferably, in conjunction with the above scheme, the lower side of the fixing seat is provided with a fastening groove communicating with the fixing hole, the fastening groove communicating with the fixing hole, and fasteners passing through the fixing hole and the fastening groove.

[0010] Preferably, in conjunction with the above scheme, the fasteners include bolts and nuts.

[0011] Preferably, in conjunction with the above scheme, the base has two sets of fixing plates symmetrically protruding on the side facing the vehicle interior, and the fixing plates are connected to the fixing base.

[0012] Preferably, in conjunction with the above scheme, the fixing plate is provided with a second connecting hole, which is connected to the first connecting hole by a bolt.

[0013] Preferably, in conjunction with the above scheme, the base is provided with base mounting blocks protruding on both sides along the length of the vehicle body, and the base mounting holes are provided on the base mounting blocks.

[0014] Preferably, in conjunction with the above scheme, the base mounting holes are symmetrically arranged in two sets.

[0015] Preferably, in conjunction with the above scheme, the base is provided with several sets of spare fixing holes at intervals.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention utilizes the passenger's grab handle mounting point as the mounting point for the device, facilitating the hanging of items by passengers during outdoor camping. Since the passenger grab handle mounting point is typically designed with a high load-bearing capacity to achieve high rigidity and ensure safety, using the passenger grab handle mounting point as the mounting point for the bracket structure is sufficient to meet the bracket's load-bearing requirements, reducing the risk of failure during later use, and also effectively improving the convenience of installation and disassembly.

[0017] The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The illustrated in-vehicle item hanging and mounting device includes a crossbar 1. Fixing seats 2 are connected to both sides of the crossbar 1, and bases 3 are connected to the fixing seats 2. The bases 3 have mounting holes 3021 for screwing into handle mounting points 12 on the left and right sides of the vehicle body. These handle mounting points 12 are used to install the vehicle's own handles. When the handles are removed with a screwdriver, the bases 3 can be installed using these mounting points. The crossbar 1 is a hollow cylinder, which can be made of aluminum profiles, is inexpensive, has high load-bearing capacity, is lightweight, and can be expanded by connecting different standard mounting brackets.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to facilitate the connection between the fixing seat 2 and the base 3, the fixing seat 2 is provided with a first connecting hole 201 and a fixing hole 202 on its upper and lower sides, respectively. The first connecting hole 201 is connected to the base 3 by screwing, and the fixing hole 202 is used to pass through the fastening bolt.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to facilitate the connection between the fixing seat 2 and the crossbar 1, the fixing seat 2 is provided with a crossbar fixing hole 203 at the position between the first connecting hole 201 and the fixing hole 202. The crossbar fixing hole 203 is used to pass through the crossbar 1.

[0025] In order to allow the lower side of the fixing seat 2 to deform slightly after being tightened with bolts, and to clamp and fix the crossbar 1, a fastening groove 204 communicating with the fixing hole 202 is provided on the lower side of the fixing seat 2. The fastening groove 204 is communicating with the fixing hole 202, and fasteners are inserted into the fixing hole 202 and the fastening groove 204.

[0026] For ease of installation and disassembly, the fasteners include bolts and nuts.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the connection between the base 3 and the fixed seat 2, the base 3 is provided with two sets of fixed plates 301 symmetrically protruding on the side facing the inside of the vehicle, and the fixed plates 301 are connected to the fixed seat 2.

[0028] To facilitate connection with the fixing base 2 via screws, the fixing plate 301 is provided with a second connecting hole 3011, which is connected to the first connecting hole 201 by bolts.

[0029] To facilitate the fixing of the base 3 to the vehicle body via screws, the base 3 has protruding base mounting blocks 302 on both sides along the length of the vehicle body, and base mounting holes 3021 are provided on the base mounting blocks 302. The positions of the base mounting holes 3021 correspond to the screw holes of the handle mounting point 12.

[0030] To ensure force balance and a more stable connection, the base mounting holes 3021 are symmetrically arranged in two sets.

[0031] In addition, to facilitate the installation of lighting fixtures and other necessary items, the base 3 is provided with several sets of spare fixing holes 303 at intervals. These spare fixing holes 303 can also serve as weight-reducing holes when no other items are installed.

[0032] This device utilizes the mounting points on passenger handrails in passenger vehicles to provide a vehicle functionality extension solution for parking and camping during road trips. It addresses the issues of low space utilization in ordinary cars, limited luggage capacity, and insufficient camping capabilities. Luggage can be secured to the crossbar with straps. For safety reasons, only soft items such as blankets, sheets, and camping mats are permitted. When parked and camping, the crossbar 1 can also be used as a lighting anchor point or as a curtain track to create a private space inside the vehicle. Alternatively, a longitudinal support rod can be connected to the crossbar 1 via a mounting bracket, extending to the rear of the vehicle. This longitudinal support rod can then serve as an anchor point for tents, rain covers, and other camping equipment, greatly expanding the vehicle's travel and camping capabilities.

[0033] When camping outdoors, the original handles on the vehicle can be removed, leaving four bolt holes on the handle mounting points 12 of the roof side beam (two bolt holes are symmetrically arranged on each of the left and right sides of the vehicle). Then, the base 3 of this device can be bolted onto the handle mounting points 12. The connection angle and the connection position between the crossbar 1 and the fixing seat 2 can be adjusted according to different vehicle widths. When the vehicle needs to be driven, the device of this invention needs to be removed and the original handles can be installed.
