When the vehicle is stopped, the slide-out box slides outward from the opening in the vehicle, increasing interior space.

[0003] Patent CN202111541306.4 discloses a motorhome expansion mechanism and a motorhome. The sliding mechanism is located under and on both sides of the vehicle body. There is no integrated setting, which occupies a large space, is inconvenient to install, and runs unsteadily.

[0004] Patent US202117408020A discloses a slide-out device arranged on both sides of the slide-out box. Due to the complex mechanism used, the telescopic drive device is too high, occupies a large space, is inconvenient to maintain, and increases the cost of use.

[0005] With respect to the above-mentioned related technologies, the inventor believes that the sliding mechanism of the vehicle box sliding system is relatively large, complicated to install, and expensive. Therefore, the inventor believes that the sliding mechanism of the vehicle box takes up a lot of space. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to improve the problem that the sliding-out mechanism of the vehicle slide-out box occupies a large space, the present invention provides a combined guide rail suspended vehicle box slide-out system, which can increase the vehicle's usable space and improve space utilization. Moreover, since the entire slide-out mechanism inside the carrying box is integrated and connected to the bottom plate of the support frame, there is no need to disassemble the lower chassis of the vehicle body, and installation and disassembly are convenient. Only the bottom plate of the support frame needs to be fixed to the vehicle body, and the entire slide-out box can be set at the opening of the vehicle body.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A combined guide rail suspended vehicle box slide-out system comprises a slide-out box, a load-bearing box, a load-bearing plate, a support frame, a gear, a motor, a reducer, a rack, a rack frame, a guide rail 1, a guide rail 2, a slider 1, a slider 2, a slider 3 and a slider 4. The slide-out box is arranged at the opening of the vehicle body, and corresponding load-bearing boxes are arranged below the opposite side walls of the slide-out box. The two load-bearing boxes have the same internal structure, are arranged correspondingly, and move synchronously. The load-bearing plate is fixed to the load-bearing box, the output shaft of the motor is connected to the reducer, the reducer is fixed to the support frame, the output shaft is connected to a gear through the support frame, the rack is fixed to the load-bearing plate through the rack frame, and the gear and the rack are meshed. The guide rail 1 and the guide rail 2 are fixed to the load-bearing box in parallel above and below through the load-bearing plate, the slider 1 and the slider 3 are slidably connected to the guide rail 1, the slider 2 and the slider 4 are slidably connected to the guide rail 2, and the slider 1, the slider 2, the slider 3 and the slider 4 are fixed to the support frame. The load-bearing plate, support frame, gear, motor, reducer, rack, rack frame, guide rail 1, guide rail 2, slider 1, slider 2, slider 3 and slider 4 (except the bottom plate) are integrated inside the carrying box. A long opening is provided at the bottom of the carrying box, and the carrying box slides back and forth at the lower end of the support frame through the long opening.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor drives the reducer to rotate, the reducer drives the gear to rotate, and the gear drives the rack to convert the spiral motion into linear motion, which can pull the load-bearing box to slide back and forth, realizing the sliding out and retraction of the slide-out box. The load-bearing plate, gear, motor, reducer, rack, rack frame, guide rail 1, guide rail 2, slider 1, slider 2, slider 3, slider 4, load-bearing plate, and part of the support frame (except the bottom plate) are integrated into the load-bearing box, which can isolate the influence of the outside world, facilitate installation and disassembly, have a beautiful appearance, and can increase the internal usable space of the vehicle. The long strip opening at the bottom of the load-bearing box slides out and retracts from the lower end of the support frame. The bottom plate supports the entire slide-out box. There is no need to disassemble the vehicle chassis. The bottom plate of the support frame is directly fixed to the vehicle body. The entire slide-out box is suspended at the opening of the vehicle, and the support frame transfers the weight of the slide-out box to the vehicle body.

[0010] Preferably, the guide rail 1 and the guide rail 2 always maintain a cantilever setting when the slide-out box is driven to slide out and retract through the fixed slider 1, slider 2, slider 3 and slider 4.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, guide rail one passes through slider one and slider three, and guide rail two passes through slider two and slider four cantilevers to increase the sliding length of the slide-out box and increase the usable space in the car without the need for additional support.

[0012] Preferably, the slider 1 and the slider 2 are flush with each other in vertical direction, the slider 3 and the slider 4 are flush with each other in vertical direction, and the slider 1 and the slider 3 are arranged in parallel with the slider 2 and the slider 4.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the guide rails 1 and 2 slide back and forth, the forces are balanced, the operation is smooth, and the friction is small.

[0014] Preferably, the support frame includes a vertical plate and a bottom plate, and the reducer is fixed on the vertical plate.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the reducer is fixed on the vertical plate and remains stationary, and the support frame bears the reducer.

[0016] Preferably, the slider 1 and the slider 3 are fixed above the vertical plate, and the slider 2 and the slider 4 are fixed below the vertical plate.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the slider is kept stationary and the guide rail can slide through the slider.

[0018] Preferably, the base plate is fixed to the vehicle body.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the weight borne by the support frame can be transferred to the vehicle body through the bottom plate.

[0020] Preferably, the load-bearing plate, the carrying box and the rack are parallel along the length direction.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the rack drives the load-bearing plate to move, and then drives the load-bearing box to slide back and forth, it can ensure that the force is balanced during the movement, the operation is smooth, and the friction is small.

[0022] Preferably, a detachable inspection panel is provided on the side of the carrying box close to the interior of the carriage.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, installation is facilitated, and when a fault occurs inside the carrying box, it can be repaired by removing the inspection panel, thereby reducing repair costs.

[0024] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] 1. The load-bearing plate, support frame, gear, motor, reducer, rack, rack frame, guide rail 1, guide rail 2, slider 1, slider 2, slider 3, slider 4, and part of the support frame (except the bottom plate) are integrated in the carrying box, which can isolate the influence of the outside world, facilitate installation and disassembly, have a beautiful appearance, and can increase the internal usable space of the vehicle.

[0026] 2. Since the entire slide-out mechanism inside the carrying box is integrated and connected to the bottom plate of the support frame, there is no need to disassemble the lower chassis of the vehicle body. The installation and disassembly are convenient. Only the bottom plate of the support frame needs to be fixed to the vehicle body. The entire slide-out box can be set at the opening of the vehicle body, and the support frame will transfer the weight of the slide-out box to the vehicle body.

[0027] 3. The inspection panel on the carrying box is removable. When a fault occurs inside the carrying box, it can be repaired by removing the inspection panel, reducing maintenance costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
