[0049] Embodiment 1

[0050] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a roof luggage rack, including a frame body 1, a cover shell, a base, a decorative strip and a first fixing member 11; the cover shell is arranged on the base, the frame body 1 is a strip-shaped member and has a cavity inside; the first fixing member 11 passes through the base and the cover shell in sequence, and passes through the bottom wall of the frame body 1 in contact with the cover shell to extend into the cavity of the frame body 1 and is fixedly connected to the frame body 1; at least two of the cover shells are distributed along the length direction of the frame body 1, and at least one of the bases is arranged in each of the cover shells, and the two ends of the decorative strip are respectively connected to the two adjacent bases, and the base and the decorative strip are used to be installed on the roof.

[0051] In this embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the rack 1 is a strip-shaped member, and a plurality of covers are arranged below it, such as a first cover 2, a second cover 3 and a third cover 4. The plurality of covers are arranged in sequence along the extension direction of the rack 1, and can be used to support the rack 1. A base is arranged inside the cover, such as a first base 7, a second base 8 and a third base 9. The base is used for a structure that is installed in contact with the roof, and can strengthen the connection strength between the luggage rack and the roof. Figure 5As shown, the interior of the frame 1 is a cavity, and a nut can be built into the cavity or a thread can be designed in the mounting hole of the bottom wall of the frame 1, and then the first fixing member 11 passes through the base and the cover from the bottom of the base and is locked with the nut in the frame 1 or the thread of the bottom wall of the frame 1, so that the frame 1, the cover and the base are fixed together, wherein the cover is arranged on the base, and is squeezed and fixed by the base and the frame 1 under the tightening of the first fixing member 11, at this time, the base is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and then the base is connected to the roof, so that the frame 1 can be fixed on the roof while ensuring the surface integrity of the frame 1 exposed to the outside; as shown Figure 2 and me Figure 3 As shown, the two ends of the trim strip are respectively connected to two adjacent bases to avoid direct connection between the trim strip and the frame. There is no need to reserve through holes on the surface of the trim strip for fasteners to pass through. The surface of the trim strip is complete, which improves the strength of the trim strip and the frame. The base is then covered with a cover so that the mounting points cannot be seen on the surface of the frame 1, the cover and the trim strip, thereby improving the appearance. Therefore, in the supply stage, the trim strip and the frame can be directly assembled into one body for integrated supply. The trim strip and the frame do not need to be separately installed and fixed on the roof. When installing the luggage rack on the roof, it is only necessary to place the luggage rack as a whole on the vehicle, and directly install and fix the trim strip and the base on the roof at one time. For example, preset bolts are set at the contact surface between the trim strip and the roof, and preset bolts are set at the contact surface between the base and the roof. The installation and fixation of the roof rack can be completed by directly fixing the preset bolts at each point. The installation steps are simple and the operation is convenient and quick.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, a card slot and a guide slot are respectively provided at both ends of the decorative strip; a card connector is provided on one of the two bases adjacent to the decorative strip, and a fixed block is provided on the other base, the card connector is engaged with the card slot, and the guide slot is inserted into the fixed block.

A base is arranged in each cover, and both ends of the decorative strip are connected to the two bases. In addition, Figure 3 As shown, three covers may be provided under the frame 1, which may be a first base 7, a second base 8 and a third base 9, and a decorative strip may be provided between two adjacent covers, such as Figure 2As shown, a first decorative strip 5 is installed between the first base 7 and the second base 8, and a second decorative strip 6 is installed between the second base 8 and the third base 9. Similarly, if multiple bases are arranged under the frame 1, decorative strips can be optionally arranged between some adjacent two cover shells. A suitable number of bases can be arranged as needed, and decorative strips can be selectively arranged between two connected bases. The card slot at one end of the decorative strip is engaged with the card connector, and the guide groove at the other end of the decorative strip is plugged into the fixed block, so that the decorative strip can be quickly installed between the two bases, and the operation is convenient and quick. There is no need to open additional mounting holes on the decorative strip, and the surface of the decorative strip is complete. The decorative strip can be assembled with the base first, and then the base and the decorative strip can be installed on the roof to complete the installation of the roof luggage rack. The installation is convenient and simple.

[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the two ends of the decorative strip pass through the ends of two adjacent cover shells respectively and are connected to the base inside the cover shells.

[0055] Specifically, the two ends of the decorative strip pass through the ends of two adjacent cover shells, for example Figure 4 At the position indicated by the two arrows in FIG. 1 , one end of the first decorative strip 5 passes through the end of the second cover shell 3, and one end of the second decorative strip 6 passes through the end of the second cover shell 3. Similarly, Figure 2 As shown, the other end of the first decorative strip 5 passes through the end of the first cover shell 2, and the other end of the second decorative strip 6 passes through the end of the third cover shell 4. Holes or grooves may be provided at both ends of the cover shell so that the decorative strip can pass through the end of the cover shell and connect to the base inside the cover shell.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the base includes a first base 7 and a second base 8, the first base 7 and the second base 8 are distributed along the length direction of the frame, and the first base 7 and the second base 8 are connected to the frame 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, one end of the first base 7 is provided with a first buckle 72, such as Figure 8 As shown, a fixing block 81 is provided at one end of the second base 8 .

[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, the decorative strip includes a first decorative strip 5, and the two ends of the first decorative strip 5 are respectively provided with a first clamping groove 51 and a first guide groove 52. Fig. 9 As shown, the first card slot 51 is connected to the first card buckle 72; Fig.10 As shown, the first guide groove 52 is plugged into the fixing block 81 at one end of the second base 8 .

[0058] Specifically, Figure 6 As shown, the first decorative strip 5 is provided with a first slot 51 and a first guide slot 52 at both ends. Figure 7 As shown, a first buckle 72 is provided at one end of the first base 7 close to the first decorative strip 5. Figure 8 As shown, the two ends of the second base 8 are respectively provided with fixing blocks 81, the first buckle 72 is installed in the first clamping groove 51, and the fixing block 81 on the second base 8 close to the first decorative strip 5 is installed in the first guide groove 52. During installation, the first guide groove 52 can be inserted into the fixing block 81 first, and then the first clamping groove 51 is clamped with the first buckle 72. In this process, no auxiliary tools are needed, and no fasteners such as bolts need to be installed. The first decorative strip 5 can be quickly installed between the first base 7 and the second base 8. It should be noted that the shapes of the first clamping groove 51 and the first guide groove 52 can be designed accordingly according to the shapes of the first buckle 72 and the fixing block 81, and the specific shapes are not limited, as long as the first clamping groove 51 and the first guide groove 52 can be installed in cooperation with the first buckle 72 and the fixing block 81 respectively, and the two ends of the first decorative strip 5 can be fixed on the first base 7 and the second base 8.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the base further includes a third base 9, the third base 9 is connected to the frame 1, and the first base 7, the second base 8 and the third base 9 are sequentially distributed along the length direction of the frame, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the other end of the second base 8 is provided with a fixing block 81. Fig.11 As shown, a second buckle 91 is provided on the third base 9 .

[0060] like Fig.12 As shown, the decorative strip includes a second decorative strip 6, and the two ends of the second decorative strip 6 are respectively provided with a second slot 61 and a second guide slot 62. Fig.10 As shown, the second guide groove 62 is plugged into the fixing block 81 at the other end of the second base 8. Fig.11 As shown, the second slot 61 is engaged with the second buckle 91 .

[0061] Specifically, Fig.11 As shown, the third base 9 is provided with a second buckle 91 at one end close to the second decorative strip 6. Fig.12 As shown, the two ends of the second decorative strip 6 are respectively provided with a second clamping groove 61 and a second guide groove 62. Fig.10 As shown, the fixing block 81 on the second base 8 close to the second decorative strip 6 is installed in the second guide groove 62. Fig.11As shown, the second clip 91 is installed in the second clip groove 61, and the installation is fast and convenient. It should be noted that the shapes of the second clip groove 61 and the second guide groove 62 can be designed accordingly according to the shapes of the second clip 91 and the fixing block 81, and the specific shapes are not limited, as long as the second clip groove 61 and the second guide groove 62 can be installed in cooperation with the second clip 91 and the fixing block 81 respectively, and the two ends of the second decorative strip 6 can be fixed on the second base 8 and the third base 9.

[0062] like Figure 6 and Fig.12 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the first guide groove 52 and the second guide groove 62 are both linear guide grooves, such as Figure 8 As shown, the cross-section of the fixing block 81 is a T-shaped cross-section.

[0063] Specifically, the first guide groove 52 and the second guide groove 62 are designed as linear guide grooves, and the fixing block 81 is designed as a fixing block with a T-shaped cross section, which can limit the movement of one end of the first decorative strip 5 and one end of the second decorative strip 6. During installation, one end of the decorative strip can be directly plugged under the fixing block 81 to complete the fixing of one end of the decorative strip. This method is quick and simple. In order to improve the strength of the first guide groove 52 and the second guide groove 62, some reinforcing rib structures can be designed around the guide grooves.

[0064] like Figure 6 and Fig.12 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the first card slot 51 and the second card slot 61 are both fan-shaped card slots, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first buckle 72 and the second buckle 91 are both buckles with T-shaped cross-sections.

[0065] Specifically, the first card slot 51 and the second card slot 61 are designed as fan-shaped card slots so that the first clip 72 and the second clip 91 can smoothly enter the first card slot 51 and the second card slot 61 respectively, avoiding spending too much time on position alignment during installation. Under the guidance of the fan-shaped card slot, the clip is finally guided to the bottom of the slot, and the first clip 72 and the second clip 91 are designed as T-section clips. When the slot is connected to the clip, the other end of the decorative strip can be quickly fixed.

[0066] like Figure 6 and Fig.12 As shown, in a possible embodiment, there is an angle between the layout direction of the first clamping groove 51 and the layout direction of the first guide groove 52 , and there is an angle between the layout direction of the second clamping groove 61 and the layout direction of the second guide groove 62 .

[0067] Specifically, during installation, the first guide groove 52 on the first decorative strip 5 can be slid into the fixing block 81 so that the fixing block 81 is in the first guide groove 52, and then the first decorative strip 5 is slightly rotated so that the first buckle 72 enters the first buckle groove 51. Since there is an angle between the first buckle groove 51 and the first guide groove 52, wherein the first guide groove 52 can be arranged along the length direction of the first decorative strip 5, there is an angle between the inclination direction of the first buckle groove 51 and the extension line of the first decorative strip 5 in the length direction. This is done to prevent the first decorative strip 5 from falling off. Furthermore, the clearance between the first guide groove 52 and the fixing block 81 is matched, so the first guide groove 52 has a small amount of movement after being inserted into the fixing block 81, allowing the first decorative strip 5 to rotate slightly and snap the first buckle 72 into the first slot 51. In addition, the distance between the end of the first slot 51 away from the first guide groove 52 and the end of the first guide groove 52 away from the first slot 51 is greater than the distance between the first buckle 72 and the fixing block 81, thereby preventing the first decorative strip 5 from falling off. The first decorative strip 5 has a certain amount of plastic deformation and can be bent to a certain extent. Therefore, during installation, the first decorative strip 5 can be bent so that the two ends can be smoothly snapped into the first buckle 72 and the fixing block 81. When the first decorative strip 5 is installed, the first decorative strip 5 returns to its natural state. The entire installation process is fast and easy to operate. There is no need to reserve a mounting hole for the supply frame 1 on the first decorative strip 5, which keeps the appearance of the decorative strip smooth and improves the beauty of the decorative strip. Similarly, the two ends of the second trim strip 6 have the same characteristics as the first trim strip 5 when they are snap-connected with the second base 8 and the third base 9. In addition, since the trim strip is segmented, injection molding can be used instead of traditional metal parts as the roof trim strip, which improves production efficiency and manufacturing quality. The appearance colors of the first trim strip 5 and the second trim strip 6 are designed to be consistent with the color of the frame, and the surface effect is unified to ensure the overall appearance effect.

[0068] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the cover shell includes a first cover shell 2 and a second cover shell 3 , the first cover shell 2 is mounted on the first base 7 , and the second cover shell 3 is mounted on the second base 8 .

[0069] In this embodiment, since the first base 7 and the second base 8 serve to connect the frame 1 and the roof, the two bases can complete the connection and fixation of the frame 1. Some holes or fixing structures are set on the first base 7 and the second base 8. Therefore, the appearance of the first base 7 and the second base 8 is diverse and not beautiful. The first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3 are respectively covered on the first base 7 and the second base 8, which can cover the first base 7 and the second base 8, and the bottom of the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3 fits with the roof to absorb installation tolerances and dimensional tolerances, which can provide support for the frame 1, enhance the appearance of the entire roof luggage rack, and effectively prevent dust or rainwater from leaking into the car.

[0070] like Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Fig.13 In a possible embodiment, an insert piece 71 is provided at one end of the first base 7 away from the first decorative strip 5 , a slot 23 is provided in the first cover shell 2 , and the insert piece 71 is inserted into the slot 23 .

[0071] In this optional embodiment, since the first base 7 is longer than other bases, in order to prevent the first base 7 from shaking when the vehicle vibrates, the insert 71 at one end of the first base 7 is inserted into the slot 23 in the first housing 2 to fix the end of the first base 7. In addition, a slot can be provided at the end of the first base 7, and a buckle can be provided in the first housing 2. The end of the first base 7 can be fixed by snapping the slot onto the buckle. Other fixing structures can also be used. As long as the structure can fix the end of the first base 7 on the first housing 2, it can be used as the fixing structure there.

[0072] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the cover shell also includes a third cover shell 4, and the third cover shell 4 is mounted on the third base 9. The first cover shell 2, the second cover shell 3 and the third cover shell 4 are sequentially mounted on the frame 1 along the length direction of the frame 1, and the first cover shell 2 and the third cover shell 4 are mounted at both ends of the frame 1.

[0073] In this embodiment, since the frame 1 is in an elongated shape, in order to ensure the firmness of the middle part of the frame 1, three covers can be arranged under the frame 1, that is, a third cover 4 is added on the basis of the first cover 2 and the second cover 3, so that the supporting strength between the frame 1 and the roof is increased, and the appearance of the entire roof luggage rack can be improved, effectively preventing dust or rainwater from leaking into the car.

[0074] like Figure 2 and Fig.14 As shown, a caulking seal is provided on the end surface of the cover shell close to the frame body, and the caulking seal is used to fill the gap between the frame body 1 and the cover shell. The material of the caulking seal is a soft material, and the caulking seal is integrally formed with the cover shell.

[0075] In this embodiment, the caulking seal on the cover shell is formed together with the cover shell by a 2K injection molding (two shot molding, referred to as double-color injection molding) process, which refers to a process of molding two plastics into one piece in a one-shot injection molding process. The caulking seal is made of a soft material, such as rubber, silicone or other soft materials, and the cover shell is made of a hard material. The cover shell and the caulking seal on the cover shell are formed in one piece, and the caulking seal is tightly connected to the cover shell without any gap, for example Figure 2 As shown, a first sealing member 21 is provided on the first housing 2. After the housing and the frame 1 are assembled, the housing and the frame 1 are attached to each other under the reinforcement of the first fixing member 11, and the sealing member is squeezed under the extrusion, so that there is no gap between the housing and the frame 1.

[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the caulking seal includes a first seal 21, a second seal 31 and a third seal 41. The first seal 21 is arranged on the end surface of the first cover shell 2 close to the frame body 1, and the first seal 21 is distributed at least along the end surface edge of the first cover shell 2; the second seal 31 is arranged on the end surface of the second cover shell 3 close to the frame body 1, and the second seal 31 is distributed at least along the end surface edge of the second cover shell 3; the third seal 41 is arranged on the end surface of the third cover shell 4 close to the frame body 1, and the third seal 41 is distributed at least along the end surface edge of the third cover shell 4.

[0077] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the first sealing member 21 is integrally formed with the first housing 2, the second sealing member 31 is integrally formed with the second housing 3, and the third sealing member 41 is integrally formed with the third housing 4. Fig.14 As shown, a circle of first sealing member 21 can be provided along the edge of the top end surface of the first housing 2, and multiple first sealing members 21 can be provided inside the first sealing member 21 along the edge, so that the first sealing member 21 along the edge is divided into multiple regions to form multiple sealing regions, thereby enhancing the sealing effect. Fig.15 As shown, when the first base 7 is assembled with the first cover shell 2 and the frame 1, under the action of the first fixing member 11, the first base 7 squeezes the first cover shell 2 to fit with the frame 1. At this time, the first seal 21 on the first cover shell 2 is squeezed, so that the first seal 21 fits tightly with the frame 1, thereby realizing a seamless design between the first cover shell 2 and the frame 1.

[0078] like Fig.14 As shown, in a possible embodiment, a noise reduction seal 22 is provided on the end face of the first cover shell 2 close to the frame 1, and the noise reduction seal 22 is arranged at an end of the end face away from the second cover shell 3. The material of the noise reduction seal 22 is a soft material, and the noise reduction seal 22 is integrally formed with the cover shell.

[0079] In this optional embodiment, the noise reduction seal 22 and the first housing 2 are integrally formed by a 2K injection molding process. Fig.15As shown, when the frame 1 and the first cover shell 2 are installed together, the noise reduction seal 22 fits tightly with the frame 1. When the vehicle is running normally, the noise reduction seal 22 is located at the end of the first cover shell 2 close to the windward side. Since the noise reduction seal 22 fills the gap between the frame 1 and the first cover shell 2, the wind will not enter the frame 1 or the first cover shell 2 from the joint surface between the frame 1 and the first cover shell 2, and will not generate noise or vibration in the frame 1 or the first cover shell 2, thereby reducing the NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) of the roof luggage rack and improving the user experience. In addition, in order to enhance the sealing effect, the noise reduction seal 22 can be designed into a "field" shape or a "well" shape that is staggered horizontally and vertically.

[0080] like Figure 3 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the base further includes a fourth base 10, and the third base 9 and the fourth base 10 are respectively installed at two ends of the third cover shell 4.

[0081] In this embodiment, two separate bases are installed in the third cover shell 4, and the two separate bases are installed at the front and rear ends of the cover shell. Sometimes the third cover shell 4 may have a large curvature or a long length. When a long base is used to fix the third cover shell 4, the long base needs to have a curvature shape similar to that of the third cover shell 4, which is more troublesome to manufacture. The long base can be broken and the third cover shell 4 can be fixed between the base and the frame 1 at two points using the third base 9 and the fourth base 10, which can achieve the same fixing purpose. At the same time, the third base 9 and the fourth base 10 are smaller in size, relatively simple in shape, and lower in weight.

[0082] Embodiment 2

[0083] This embodiment also provides a roof rack, which includes the frame body 1, the cover, the base, the trim and the first fixing member 11 as described in the first embodiment.

[0085] In this embodiment, for example Figure 7 As shown, two positioning members 12 are provided on the first base 7. Fig.14As shown, two positioning holes 16 are provided on the first housing 2, and two positioning members 12 are correspondingly installed in the two positioning holes 16, so that the first base 7 and the first housing 2 can be quickly assembled. Similarly, positioning members 12 can also be provided on the second base 8, the third base 9 and the fourth base 10, and the number of positioning members 12 on each base is preferably two or more. Positioning holes 16 are correspondingly provided on the second housing 3 and the third housing 4, so that each base can be quickly assembled with the corresponding housing. In addition, the housing and the base are also provided with clearance holes 15, such as Figure 7 As shown, two clearance holes are provided beside the two first positioning members 12 on the first base 7, such as Fig.14 As shown, two clearance holes 15 are provided on the first cover shell 2. Similarly, a clearance hole is also provided on the bottom wall of the frame body 1. The first fixing member 11 passes through the clearance holes on the cover shell, the base and the frame body 1. The inner wall of the clearance hole on the frame body 1 can be designed with threads, or a fastener such as a nut can be coaxially arranged at the position of the clearance hole. The first fixing member 11 can be a bolt, which is locked with the thread in the clearance hole of the frame body 1 or with the nut built into the frame body 1 to complete the fixation between the cover shell, the base and the frame body 1. Similarly, the second base 8, the third base 9 and the fourth base 10 are provided with clearance holes. Correspondingly, the second cover shell 3, the third cover shell 4 and the frame body 1 are also provided with clearance holes at corresponding positions. The first fixing member 11 is used to pass through the clearance holes on the base, the cover shell and the frame body 1 in sequence, so as to fix the base and the cover shell on the frame body 1.

[0086] like Figure 3 As shown, a second fixing member 13 is installed on the base, and a third fixing member 14 is installed on the decorative strip. The second fixing member 13 is used to fix the base to the roof, and the third fixing member 14 is used to fix the decorative strip to the roof.

[0087] In this optional embodiment, for example Figure 6 and Fig.12 As shown, a third fixing member 14 is installed at the bottom of the first decorative strip 5 and the second decorative strip 6. Figure 7 As shown, two second fixing members 13 are installed at the bottom of the first base 7. Figure 8 As shown, two second fixing members 13 are installed at the bottom of the second base 8. Fig.11As shown, at least one second fixing member 13 is also installed at the bottom of the third base 9. Similarly, at least one second fixing member 13 is also installed at the bottom of the fourth base 10. The frame 1, the cover, the base and the decorative strip are assembled and supplied as an integrated whole. When installing the entire roof luggage rack, you only need to place the roof luggage rack at the roof installation position, insert the second fixing member 13 and the third fixing member 14 into the preset installation holes on the roof, and you only need to fix the second fixing member 13 and the third fixing member 14 to complete the installation. The installation is quick and convenient, and the operation steps are simple.
