[0063] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or, “modes of implementation”) of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated.

In addition, the terms “first”, “second”, etc. in the present application embodiments are only used for convenience of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0065] In order to carry objects such as large luggage, bicycles, etc., a storage rack needs to be added to the outside of the vehicle. The storage rack is usually assembled on the top of the vehicle, assembled on the rear of the vehicle, or hung on the rear of the vehicle. However, the storage rack assembled on the top of the vehicle will increase the height of the vehicle, the storage rack assembled on the rear of the vehicle or hung on the rear of the vehicle has the problem of inconvenience in installation or disassembly, and may also interfere with other functional components of the vehicle, affecting the cost and overall aesthetics of the vehicle.

[0066] The present application provides a vehicle storage rack assembled on the vehicle body. Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a vehicle in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of a vehicle storage rack in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, in which the storage assembly is stored in the interior of the vehicle body, Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of a vehicle storage rack from another angle, showing the storage components housed inside the vehicle body, according to an exemplary embodiment of this application.

Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a vehicle storage rack in an exemplary embodiment of this application when the swing arm is in the second state. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle storage rack in an exemplary embodiment of this application, with the swing arm in a second state at another angle. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of a vehicle storage rack in an exemplary embodiment of this application, with the fixed arm in a fourth state. Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of another structure of a vehicle storage rack in an exemplary embodiment of this application when the fixed arm is in the fourth state. Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle storage rack on a decorative panel in an exemplary embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figures 1-10 As shown, the vehicle storage rack 1 includes a linkage mechanism 13, a storage assembly 14, and a decorative panel 11. The linkage mechanism 13 is connected to the first output component 121 of the first drive motor 12 to drive the second output component 131 of the linkage mechanism 13 to move between a storage position and a use position. The vehicle body 21 has an assembly opening, and the storage assembly 14 is assembled to the second output component 131. One end of the storage assembly 14 away from the second output component 131 is connected to the decorative panel 11. When the second output component 131 is in the storage position, the storage assembly 14 is received inside the vehicle body 21 through the assembly opening, and the decorative panel 11 blocks the assembly opening. When the second output component 131 is in the use position, the storage assembly 14 extends out of the vehicle body 21 through the assembly opening, and the decorative panel 11 protrudes from the vehicle body 21.

[0067] Since the aforementioned vehicle storage rack 1 includes a linkage mechanism 13, a storage assembly 14, and a decorative panel 11, the storage assembly 14 can extend and retract from the assembly opening of the vehicle body 21 inside and outside the vehicle body 21 as the second output component 131 of the linkage mechanism 13 moves between the storage position and the use position. This design is simple, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing. The decorative panel 11 assembled to the storage assembly 14 can protrude from the vehicle body 21 when the storage assembly 14 extends outside the vehicle body 21, and block the assembly opening when the storage assembly 14 is housed inside the vehicle body 21, thus improving the overall aesthetics of the storage assembly 14 during use and storage.

[0068] It should be noted that the above-mentioned vehicle storage rack 1 can be used to place luggage, equipment, bicycles, scooters, electric vehicles, etc. When the vehicle storage rack 1 is used to place bicycles, scooters or electric vehicles, one, two or more vehicles can be placed.

[0069] The structure and movement of the connecting rod mechanism 13, the storage assembly 14 and the decorative plate 11 are described as follows respectively:

[0070] In some embodiments, the first output component 121 includes a motor output shaft 1211 and a first gear structure 1212 arranged on the motor output shaft 1211, and the connecting rod mechanism 13 is provided with a second gear structure 1321 which is engaged with the first gear structure 1212 to drive the second output component 131 of the connecting rod mechanism 13 to move between the storage position and the use position. The driving of the connecting rod mechanism 13 by the motor output shaft 1211 through gear engagement improves the transmission reliability and controllability.

[0071] The connecting rod mechanism 13 can include a first connecting rod 132, and the second gear structure 1321 includes a sector gear structure arranged on the first connecting rod 132. The sector gear structure can limit the engagement stroke of the second gear structure 1321 and the first gear structure 1212, thereby controlling the rotation angle of the first connecting rod 132, so that the first connecting rod 132 can enter a locking and limiting state when the sector gear structure and the first gear structure 1212 are engaged to the limit position. The central angle of the sector gear structure can be 60°, 90°, 120° or any other angle, which can be set according to the rotation requirement of the first connecting rod 132, and the present application does not limit this.

[0072] In the above embodiments, the connecting rod mechanism 13 can be a four-bar linkage mechanism, or a mechanism formed by more than four connecting rods. Taking the connecting rod mechanism 13 as a four-bar linkage mechanism as an example: the connecting rod mechanism 13 includes a first connecting rod 132, a second connecting rod 133 and a vehicle body fixing member 134. The first connecting rod 132 is in transmission connection with the first output component 121 of the first driving motor 12, and the second output component 131 is in rotation connection with the first connecting rod 132. The two ends of the first connecting rod 132 are respectively in rotation connection with the second output component 131 and the vehicle body fixing member 134. The two ends of the second connecting rod 133 are respectively in rotation connection with the second output component 131 and the vehicle body fixing member 134. The first connecting rod 132, the second connecting rod 133, the second output component 131 and the vehicle body fixing member 134 form a four-bar linkage mechanism. The vehicle body fixing member 134 is used for fixed connection with the vehicle body 21. By driving the first connecting rod 132 in the four-bar linkage mechanism, the second output component 131 can obtain the expected movement track, which simplifies the structure of the connecting rod mechanism 13 and improves the movement reliability of the connecting rod mechanism 13.

[0073] For example, the vehicle body fixing member 134 is fixedly connected with the vehicle body 21, the first output component 121 of the first driving motor 12 drives the first connecting rod 132 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, and the second output component 131 thus obtains movement along the length direction of the vehicle body 21, thereby driving the storage assembly 14 assembled with the second output component 131 to extend outside or be accommodated inside the vehicle body 21.

[0074] In some embodiments, the second output component 131 can include a support body 1311 and a connecting structure 1312 arranged at both ends of the support body 1311, and the storage assembly 14 is assembled with the support body 1311. The connecting rod mechanism 13 includes a pair of first connecting rods 132, a pair of second connecting rods 133, and a pair of vehicle body fixing members 134, one first connecting rod 132 and one second connecting rod 133 are rotationally connected with one connecting structure 1312, and the other first connecting rod 132 and the other second connecting rod 133 are rotationally connected with the other connecting structure 1312. That is, four connecting rod mechanisms based on the connecting structure 1312, the first connecting rod 132, the second connecting rod 133, and the vehicle body fixing member 134 are formed at both ends of the support body 1311, respectively. By assembling the storage assembly 14 with the support body 1311, the movement of the storage assembly 14 can be driven by the four connecting rod mechanisms at both ends of the support body 1311, thereby improving the movement reliability of the storage assembly 14 and the overall structural strength of the vehicle storage rack 1.

[0075] In the above embodiments, the first connecting rod 132 can include at least one bending structure 1322, and the bending structure 1322 forms an avoiding recess on the side of the first connecting rod 132 facing away from the second connecting rod 133. The bending structure 1322 of the first connecting rod 132 can adjust the movement trajectory of the second output component 131, and also avoid the driving motor or other components of the vehicle 2 by means of the avoiding space formed by the bending structure 1322, thereby optimizing the space layout and avoiding structural interference.

[0076] In some embodiments, the storage assembly 14 can include a swing arm 141 rotationally connected with the second output component 131, the swing arm 141 is driven to switch between a first state of mutual folding with the second output component 131 and a second state of deviating from the first state, and the decorative plate 11 is connected with one end of the swing arm 141 away from the second output component 131. The swing arm 141 in the second state can be unfolded relative to the second output component 131, and in the unfolded direction, the swing arm 141 cooperates with the second output component 131 to increase the size of the storage space with support, so as to facilitate the assembly of objects such as luggage and bicycles. And the swing arm 141 in the first state can be folded with the second output component 131, on the one hand, it can reduce the space occupation when the storage assembly 14 is accommodated inside the vehicle body 21, on the other hand, it can avoid structural interference by folding or unfolding the swing arm 141 to avoid the assembly opening or other components of the vehicle 2 during the extension and retraction of the storage assembly 14 from the assembly opening.

[0077] It should be noted that the swing arm 141 can be driven and controlled by a second driving motor, or can be connected to the output end of the first driving motor 12 through a transmission mechanism to realize driving.

[0078] In the above embodiment, the storage assembly 14 can include at least two swing arms 141 rotationally connected with the second output component 131, and the vehicle storage rack 1 includes two decorative plates 11, and at least one swing arm 141 is connected with the decorative plate 11 to drive the decorative plate 11 to move with the swing arm 141 respectively. Two decorative plates 11 are arranged on the vehicle body 21 to improve the flexibility of the decorative plate 11 during the process of blocking the assembly opening or separating from the assembly opening. The storage assembly 14 includes at least two swing arms 141 rotationally connected with the second output component 131, which helps to improve the movement reliability of the storage assembly 14 of the vehicle storage rack 1.

[0079] In some embodiments, at least two swing arms 141 are connected with the same decorative plate 11 to form a linkage assembly, and the linkage assembly formed by the two swing arms 141, the decorative plate 11 and the second output component 131 improves the movement reliability and structural strength of the swing arm 141. For example, each decorative plate 11 is connected with two swing arms 141 to form a four-bar linkage mechanism, which improves the structural reliability of the storage assembly 14 on the basis of simplifying the linkage assembly.

[0080] In the above embodiment, the side of the decorative plate 11 facing the interior of the vehicle body 21 is provided with a rotation connecting seat 113, and the swing arm 141 is rotationally connected with the rotation connecting seat 113 to improve the movement flexibility of the swing arm 141 and the decorative plate 11.

[0081] In the above embodiment, the rotation directions of any two swing arms 141 connected with different decorative plates 11 can be different, so that the two decorative plates 11 are spliced with each other in the first state of the swing arm 141, and are separated in the second state of the swing arm 141. Since the two decorative plates 11 move in different directions during the switching of the swing arm 141 from the first state to the second state, the structural interference of the two decorative plates 11 is avoided, and the two decorative plates can be spliced to block the assembly opening when the swing arm 141 is in the first state, which ensures that the decorative plate 11 and the vehicle body 21 can form a unified and smooth appearance surface.

[0082] In some embodiments, the side of the decorative plate 11 facing the interior of the vehicle body 21 can be provided with a mounting structure 114, and the vehicle storage rack 1 further comprises a fixing arm 142 rotationally connected with the mounting structure 114, so that the fixing arm 142 is folded with the decorative plate 11 in the third state, and unfolded relative to the decorative plate 11 in the fourth state. The fixing arm 142 can be switched between the third state of being folded relative to the decorative plate 11 and the fourth state of being unfolded relative to the decorative plate 11, and the fixing arm 142 can form a stable fixing effect on the object to be placed in cooperation with the second output component 131 and the swing arm 141 in the fourth state. The fixing arm 142 is folded relative to the decorative plate 11 in the third state, which reduces the space occupation. It should be noted that the switching of the fixing arm 142 between the third state and the fourth state can be driven and controlled by the third driving motor.

[0083] In the above embodiment, the fixing arm 142 can surround a limiting space, and in the length direction of the limiting space, the fixing arm 142 comprises a first part 1421 and a second part 1422, and the first part 1421 and the second part 1422 are controlled to be telescopic to have at least two telescopic states. The length of the limiting space can be changed by the telescopic cooperation of the first part 1421 and the second part 1422, which is compatible with objects of different sizes. For example, when the object is a bicycle, the limiting space can be used to limit the bicycle wheel, and after the length of the limiting space is adjusted by the telescopic adjustment of the first part 1421 and the second part 1422, it can be used to limit and fix bicycle wheels of different sizes. It should be noted that the telescopic movement between the first part 1421 and the second part 1422 of the fixing arm 142 can be driven and controlled by the fourth driving motor.

[0084] Among them, the fixing arm 142 can include one of a U-shaped structure, a rectangular structure, a polygonal structure, and an irregular structure, and the fixing arm 142 with different structures can surround a limiting space with a corresponding shape. When the fixing arm 142 is a U-shaped structure, a U-shaped limiting space can be surrounded to adapt to objects such as wheels that contain rounded corners.

[0085] In some embodiments, the decorative part can include a third part 111 and a fourth part 112 bent relative to the third part 111, the third part 111 extends along the height direction of the vehicle 2, and the fourth part 112 extends along the length direction of the vehicle 2 to surround an assembly space facing the interior of the vehicle body 21. When the assembly opening is located at the rear bumper, the shape of the decorative part is adapted to the structure of the assembly opening of the vehicle body 21 to obtain a smooth appearance effect matching the appearance of the vehicle body 21.

[0086] The application further provides a vehicle 2 comprising a vehicle body 21 and the vehicle storage rack 1 described above, and the vehicle body 21 is provided with an assembly opening, and the storage assembly 14 is accommodated into or extended out of the vehicle body 21 from the assembly opening.

[0087] Since the vehicle storage rack 1 comprises the linkage mechanism 13, the storage assembly 14 and the decorative plate 11, the storage assembly 14 can be extended in and out of the vehicle body 21 along with the second output component 131 of the linkage mechanism 13 between the storage position and the use position, and the structure is simple, reliable and beautiful. The decorative plate 11 assembled on the storage assembly 14 can protrude out of the vehicle body 21 when the storage assembly 14 is extended out of the vehicle body 21, and can block the assembly opening when the storage assembly 14 is accommodated into the vehicle body 21, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the storage assembly 14 in use and storage.

[0088] In the above embodiment, the vehicle body 21 comprises a rear bumper, and the assembly opening can be arranged on the rear bumper, so as to avoid interference of the vehicle storage rack 1 with other components of the vehicle 2 during extension and retraction, and improve the extension flexibility and storage convenience of the vehicle storage rack 1. For example, the vehicle body 21 comprises a housing, and the assembly opening can be arranged on the end of the rear bumper corresponding to the housing, and the assembly opening forms a door-shaped structure, thereby avoiding interference of the frame-shaped structure with the bottom of the frame during extension and retraction of the vehicle storage rack 1, and improving the extension flexibility of the vehicle storage rack 1.

[0089] It should be noted that the vehicle 2 described above can be an off-road vehicle, a commercial vehicle, a family car, a truck, etc., and the application does not limit this.

[0090] The application further provides a vehicle control method applied to the vehicle 2 described above, and the vehicle 2 comprises a vehicle body 21 and the vehicle storage rack 1 described above. The vehicle storage rack 1 comprises a first driving motor 12, a linkage mechanism 13 and a storage assembly 14. The linkage mechanism 13 is in transmission connection with the first output component 121 of the first driving motor 12, so as to drive the second output component 131 of the linkage mechanism 13 to move between the storage position and the use position. The storage assembly 14 is assembled on the second output component 131, and when the second output component 131 is in the storage position, the storage assembly 14 is accommodated into the vehicle body 21. When the second output component 131 is in the use position, the storage assembly 14 is extended out of the vehicle body 21. Figure 11 A flowchart of a vehicle control method in an exemplary embodiment of the application is shown in Figure 11 The above vehicle control method can be realized by the following steps.

[0091] In step S1101, an opening signal for the vehicle storage rack 1 is received.

[0092] In step S1102, space information reserved for the vehicle storage rack 1 is obtained.

[0093] In step S1103, it is judged whether the reserved space information meets the first preset condition. If yes, a first control signal is sent to the first driving motor 12 to drive the second output component 131 of the connecting rod mechanism 13 to move to the use position.

[0094] The judgment on the reserved space information is added when the vehicle storage rack 1 is opened. The first driving motor 12 drives the second output component 131 of the connecting rod mechanism 13 to move only when the opening signal of the vehicle storage rack 1 is received and the reserved space information meets the first preset condition, which improves the practicability, use intelligence and safety of the vehicle storage rack 1.

[0095] The first preset condition can be that there is no obstacle in the reserved space of the vehicle storage rack 1.

[0096] Further, the judgment on whether the reserved space information meets the first preset condition in the above embodiment can further include: judging whether the reserved space information meets the first preset condition. If no, it is judged whether the surrounding environment space of the vehicle 2 meets the second preset condition. If yes, a driving signal of the vehicle 2 is sent to drive the vehicle 2 to move forward to the reserved space information of the vehicle storage rack 1 meeting the first preset condition, and a first control signal is sent to the first driving motor 12 to drive the second output component 131 of the connecting rod mechanism 13 to move to the use position. If no, a feedback signal requiring manual intervention is sent. That is, when the reserved space information of the vehicle storage rack 1 does not meet the first preset condition, the surrounding environment space of the vehicle 2 is further judged. When the environment space meets the second preset condition, the vehicle 2 is driven to move to make the storage space of the vehicle storage rack 1 meet the first preset condition. When the environment space does not meet the second preset condition, a feedback signal is sent to remind the user to manually intervene. The feedback signal can be returned by voice broadcast or APP of the vehicle 2.

[0097] The second preset condition can be that there is no obstacle in the surrounding space required by the movement of the vehicle 2 to make the storage space of the vehicle storage rack 1 meet the first preset condition. The surrounding space can refer to the space in front of the vehicle 2, the space on the left side of the vehicle 2, the space on the right side of the vehicle 2, etc. For example, when the vehicle 2 moves forward by a first distance, the storage space of the vehicle storage rack 1 can meet the first preset condition. There is no obstacle in the space required by the movement of the vehicle 2 within the first distance, which is the second preset condition.

[0098] The vehicle control method may further include: receiving a retraction signal for the vehicle storage rack 1, and sending a third control signal to the first drive motor 12 to cause the first drive motor 12 to move the second output component 131 of the linkage mechanism 13 to the storage position. Based on the seventh control signal, the first drive motor 12 can be controlled to move the second output component 131 of the linkage mechanism 13 to the storage position, improving the convenience of controlling the retraction of the vehicle storage rack 1. The aforementioned seventh control signal may be a user operation command.

[0099] In some embodiments, the storage assembly 14 may include a swing arm 141 rotatably connected to the second output component 131. The swing arm 141 is driven by a second drive motor and can switch between a first state and a second state. The vehicle control method further includes: sending a second control signal to the second drive motor to cause the second drive motor to rotate the swing arm 141 to the second state; or sending a third control signal to the second drive motor to cause the second drive motor to rotate the swing arm 141 to the first state. Based on the second and third control signals, the second drive motor can be controlled to switch the swing arm 141 between the first and second states, improving the control convenience of the swing arm 141.

[0100] The second and third control signals can be user operation commands or position feedback signals when the second output component 131 of the linkage mechanism 13 moves to the storage or use position. For example, the first and second control signals can be issued through user operation commands to cause the storage assembly 14 to extend outside the vehicle body 21 and the swing arm 141 to extend to the second state. As another example, the third control signal is issued when the second output component 131 of the linkage mechanism 13 moves to the storage position, and the second control signal is issued when the second output component 131 of the linkage mechanism 13 moves to the use position.

[0101] It should be noted that the first control signal for extending the storage assembly 14 outside the vehicle body 21 and the third control signal for unfolding the swing arm 141 to the second state can be issued simultaneously or in any order. Similarly, the seventh control signal for retracting the storage assembly 14 into the vehicle body 21 and the second control signal for folding the swing arm 141 to the first state can be issued simultaneously or in any order.

[0102] In the above embodiments, the storage assembly 14 may further include a decorative panel 11 and a fixed arm 142. One end of the swing arm 141, away from the second output component 131, is connected to the decorative panel 11. The decorative panel 11 is provided with a mounting structure 114, and the fixed arm 142 is rotatably connected to the mounting structure 114. The fixed arm 142 is driven by a third drive motor to fold with the decorative panel 11 in a third state and unfold relative to the decorative panel 11 in a fourth state. The vehicle control method may further include: sending a fourth control signal to the third drive motor to cause the third drive motor to drive the fixed arm 142 to unfold to the fourth state; or sending a fifth control signal to the third drive motor to cause the third drive motor to drive the fixed arm 142 to fold to the third state. Based on the fourth and fifth control signals, the third drive motor can be controlled to switch the fixed arm 142 between the third and fourth states, improving the control convenience of the fixed arm 142.

[0103] The aforementioned fixed arm 142 forms a limiting space. Along the length of the limiting space, the fixed arm 142 includes a first portion 1421 and a second portion 1422. The first portion 1421 and the second portion 1422 are driven by a fourth drive motor to extend and retract, allowing the first portion 1421 and the second portion 1422 to have at least two extension and retraction states. The vehicle control method may further include sending a sixth control signal to the fourth drive motor to switch the first portion 1421 and the second portion 1422 between the two extension and retraction states. Based on the sixth control signal, the fourth drive motor can be controlled to switch the first portion 1421 and the second portion 1422 of the fixed arm 142 between any extension and retraction positions, improving the control convenience of the fixed arm 142.

[0106] In step S1202, the reserved space information for the vehicle storage rack 1 is obtained.

[0107] In step S1203, it is determined whether the reserved space information meets the first preset condition. If so, a first control signal is sent to the first drive motor 12 so that the first drive motor 12 drives the second output component 131 of the linkage mechanism 13 to move to the use position.

[0108] In step S1204, when the second output component 131 is located in the use position, it is judged whether the road condition information meets the third preset condition, and if so, an angle of departure α adjustment signal for the vehicle 2 is sent to match the angle of departure α of the vehicle 2 with the road condition information.

[0109] Figure 13 The angle of departure α of the vehicle 2 is shown in the middle. The above method enables the vehicle 2 to adjust the angle of departure α of the vehicle 2 for the vehicle rack 1 during driving. When the angle of departure α increases, the overall height of the vehicle suspension increases, avoiding problems such as shaking, bumping and damage of the vehicle rack 1 due to road conditions, and improving the use reliability of the vehicle rack 1.

[0110] Wherein, sending an angle of departure α adjustment signal for the vehicle 2 to match the angle of departure α of the vehicle 2 with the road condition information can include: sending an adjustment instruction for the suspension height and / or an adjustment instruction for the damping level to the vehicle suspension system.

Or, judging whether the road condition signal fed back by the vehicle 2 driving system matches the preset signal, the preset signal including one of an uphill signal, a downhill signal, a pothole signal and a bumpy signal. Or, judging whether the preset environment image obtained by the vehicle 2 image system contains a preset feature; the preset feature including one of an uphill, a downhill and a pothole.

If not, a feedback signal requiring manual intervention is sent. That is, when the reserved space information of the vehicle storage rack 1 does not meet the first preset condition, the surrounding environment space of the vehicle 2 is further determined, and when the environment space meets the second preset condition, the vehicle 2 is driven to move to make the storage space of the vehicle storage rack 1 meet the first preset condition.
