It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of the present application is thorough and complete, and the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those of ordinary skill in the art. In the drawings, for clarity, the thickness of layers and regions may be exaggerated, and the same reference numerals are used to denote the same devices, and thus their description will be omitted.

[0042] Combined with Figures 1 to 7 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of the present application, a lifting luggage rack is provided.

[0043] Specifically, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, the liftable luggage rack includes a bracket assembly 10 and a driving part 20. The bracket assembly 10 has a first state and a second state; the bracket assembly 10 includes: a bracket main body 11 that can move up and down, a filling block 13, and a swingable end bracket 12. End brackets 12 and filling blocks 13 are provided at both ends of the bracket main body 11; when the end bracket 12, the filling block 13, and the bracket main body 11 are connected in sequence, the bracket assembly 10 is in the first state; when the filling block 13, the end bracket 12, and the bracket main body 11 move downward so that the end bracket 12 is connected to the bracket main body 11, the bracket assembly 10 is in the second state; the driving part 20 includes: a first driving component 21 and a second driving component 22. The first driving component 21 is connected to the bracket main body 11 and the filling block 13, and the first driving component 21 is used to drive the bracket main body 11 and the filling block 13 to move up and down; the second driving component 22 is connected to the end bracket 12, and the second driving component 22 is used to drive the end bracket 12 to swing.

[0044] The above optional embodiments of the present application can achieve the following beneficial effects: The bracket assembly 10 of the liftable luggage rack is divided into the bracket main body 11, the end brackets 12 at both ends of the bracket main body 11, and the filling block 13. The bracket assembly 10 has a first state that protrudes above the vehicle roof when supporting luggage, and a second state that is stored on the vehicle roof. And the bracket assembly 10 can be switched between the first state and the second state. When it is necessary to use the luggage rack to carry luggage, the bracket assembly 10 can be adjusted to the first state. At the same time, the filling block 13 and the end bracket 12 can move together with the bracket main body 11. And through the position switching of the filling block 13, the end bracket 12 and the bracket main body 11 are integrally attached to the vehicle body. When the filling block 13 is switched to the position where the end bracket 12, the filling block 13, and the bracket main body 11 are connected in sequence, at this time the bracket assembly 10 is in the first state, and the filling block 13 is spliced and connected with the end bracket 12 and the bracket main body 11, enhancing the stability and load-bearing capacity of the luggage rack, making the lifting process of the luggage rack smoother, the structure more compact, and saving the interior space of the vehicle; when it is not necessary to carry luggage, when the filling block 13 is switched to the position where the end bracket 12 is directly connected to the bracket main body 11, at this time the bracket assembly 10 is in the second state, so that the luggage rack is integrally stored on the vehicle roof and smoothly transitions with the vehicle roof, which can reduce the wind resistance and wind noise caused by the luggage rack. At the same time, through the connection of the first driving component 21 of the driving part 20 with the bracket main body 11 and the filling block 13, and the connection of the second driving component 22 with the end bracket 12, the driving part 20 can control the switching of the bracket assembly 10 between the first state and the second state. At the same time, through the segmented setting of the end bracket 12 and the bracket main body 11, and the setting of the filling block 13, not only the load-bearing capacity and safety of the luggage rack are improved, but also the appearance of the luggage rack in the first state and the second state is optimized, enhancing the coordination with the overall design of the vehicle, and is suitable for vehicles that need to frequently lift the luggage rack, such as family cars, camping cars, etc.

[0045] In this embodiment, the driving part 20 drives the filling block 13 and the bracket main body 11 to move up and down by controlling the first driving component 21, and controls the swing of the second driving component 22 to realize the state switching of the end bracket 12 cooperating with the bracket assembly 10. Specifically, when the bracket assembly 10 needs to be switched from the first state to the second state (that is, when the bracket assembly 10 needs to move downward), the first driving component 21 first drives the filling block 13 to move downward, and then the bracket main body 11 moves downward. Subsequently, the second driving component 22 drives the end bracket 12 to swing, so that the upper end of the end bracket 12 is flush with the bracket main body 11, and the bracket assembly 10 is in the second state; when the bracket assembly 10 needs to be switched from the second state to the first state (that is, when the bracket assembly 10 needs to move upward), the second driving component 22 first drives the end bracket 12 to swing reversely, and then the first driving component 21 drives the bracket main body 11 and the filling block 13 to move upward until the upper end surfaces of the end bracket 12, the filling block 13, and the bracket main body 11 are all flush. At this time, the bracket assembly 10 is in the second state.

[0046] Specifically, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, there are two end brackets 12, filling blocks 13, first driving components 21, and second driving components 22. The bracket assembly 10 is arranged on the top of the vehicle along the length direction of the vehicle. The bracket main body 11 is the main supporting body of the luggage rack and occupies most of the bracket assembly 10. Therefore, filling blocks 13 and end brackets 12 need to be arranged at both ends of the bracket main body 11. At the same time, as Figure 1 shown, one first driving component 21 is used to drive one end of the bracket main body 11 and one filling block 13, and the other first driving component 21 is used to drive the other end of the bracket main body 11 and the other filling block 13; the two second driving components 22 are also respectively used to drive the end brackets 12 at both ends of the bracket main body 11.

[0047] The above optional embodiments of the present application can achieve the following beneficial effects: By arranging end brackets 12 and filling blocks 13 at both ends of the bracket main body 11, and at the same time, both ends of the bracket main body 11 cooperate with a first driving component 21 and a second driving component 22 to drive the state switching of the bracket assembly 10, the state switching of the bracket assembly 10 can be made more stable and the stability is higher.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 8As shown in the figure, there are two bracket assemblies 10. The two bracket assemblies 10 are arranged on both sides of the vehicle top along the length direction of the vehicle. Each bracket assembly 10 includes a bracket main body 11, two filling blocks 13, and two end brackets 12. It should be noted that the two bracket assemblies 10 can share the same driving part 20, that is, one end of the two bracket main bodies 11 can share the same first driving component 21 and second driving component 22, and the other end of the two bracket main bodies 11 can share another first driving component 21 and another second driving component 22.

[0049] The driving part 20 can be integrally arranged in the cab on the lower side of the vehicle top, and is avoided to be arranged on the outer side of the vehicle top, so as to prevent the driving part 20 from protruding from the vehicle top, increasing the wind resistance and wind noise of the vehicle and affecting the aesthetics of the vehicle.

[0050] Furthermore, as Figure 1 , Figure 5 shown in the figure, the first driving component 21 includes a first driving motor 216, a first driving shaft, a driving gear 211, a driving rack 212, a driven gear 213, and a driven rack 214. Among them, the output shaft of the first driving motor 216 is connected to one end of the first driving shaft, and the other end of the first driving shaft is connected to the driving gear 211; the driving gear 211 meshes with the driving rack 212, and the driving rack 212 is connected to the bracket main body 11; one side of the driven gear 213 meshes with the driving gear 211, and the other side of the driven gear 213 meshes with the driven rack 214, and the driven rack 214 is connected to the filling block 13. The driving gear 211 is connected to the first driving motor 216 through the first driving shaft, so that the first driving motor 216 can drive the driving gear 211 to rotate. Since the driving gear 211 meshes with the driven gear 213 and the driving rack 212 respectively, and the driven gear 213 meshes with the driven rack 214, when the first driving motor 216 drives the driving gear 211 to rotate, the driving gear 211 will drive the driving rack 212 engaged with it to move linearly. The driving rack 212 is connected to the bracket main body 11, so it can convert the rotational motion into a linear motion, drive the bracket main body 11 to move up and down, and realize the lifting function of the luggage rack. At the same time, the driven gear 213 is driven to rotate by the driving gear 211, and the driven gear 213 drives the filling block 13 to move up and down through the driven rack 214.

[0051] The above optional embodiments of the present application can achieve the following beneficial effects: By driving the movement of the bracket main body 11 and the filling block 13 through the first driving component 21, the smooth switching between the first state and the second state of the bracket assembly 10 is realized, and at the same time, it is ensured that in the first state, the luggage rack forms a complete and stable load-bearing platform.

[0052] Specifically, as Figure 5As shown, the radius of the driven gear 213 is smaller than that of the driving gear 211. With such a setting, when the first driving motor 216 drives the driving gear 211 to rotate, since the radius of the driven gear 213 is smaller, the rotation speed of the driven gear 213 is faster. As a result, the moving speed of the driven rack 214 meshing with the driven gear 213 is faster. Then, during the process of the bracket assembly 10 switching from the first state to the second state, the filling block 13 can descend first, creating a descending space for the descent of the bracket main body 11, thus achieving a smooth switch between the first state and the second state.

[0053] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0054] Taking the descending movement of the luggage rack as an example, the first driving motor 216 drives the driving gear 211 to rotate. The driving gear 211 successively drives the driven gear 213 and the driving rack 212. The driven gear 213 drives the driven rack 214. The driven rack 214 first drives the filling block 13 to move downward, causing the filling block 13 to move downward first and creating a movement space for the bracket main body 11. Subsequently, the driving rack 212 drives the bracket main body 11 to move downward until the bracket main body 11 is flush with the vehicle top, that is, the descending movement of the bracket main body 11 and the filling block 13 is achieved.

[0055] The ascending movement of the luggage rack has the opposite logic to the descending movement. The gear rack first drives the bracket main body 11 to move upward, and then drives the filling block 13 to rise.

[0056] It should be noted that since both ends of the driving gear 211 are simultaneously meshed with the driven gear 213 and the driving rack 212, the descending movement of the bracket main body 11 and the filling block 13 can also be carried out synchronously. As long as it is ensured that the radius of the driven gear 213 is slightly smaller than that of the driving gear 211, it can be shown that the filling block 13 descends first and then the bracket main body 11 descends.

[0057] The above optional embodiments of the present application can achieve the following beneficial effects: By using a gear rack mechanism to control the lifting of the bracket main body 11 and the filling block 13, not only the transmission efficiency and accuracy are improved, but also the structure of the first driving assembly 21 is simplified, the number of moving parts is reduced, and the failure rate and maintenance cost are lowered. At the same time, this transmission method can achieve a high load capacity and response speed, enabling the luggage rack to still lift and lower quickly and smoothly when carrying heavy objects.

[0058] Further, as Figure 5As shown in the figure, the first driving component 21 further includes an elastic member 215, and the elastic member 215 is connected to the bracket main body 11. The main function of the elastic member 215 is to provide auxiliary force during the lifting process of the bracket main body 11 to ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the movement of the bracket assembly 10 during state switching. Specifically, when the bracket main body 11 moves upward, the elastic member 215 can reduce the load on the first driving motor 216 and smoothly lift the bracket main body 11; when the bracket main body 11 moves downward, the elastic member 215 can slowly release the stored energy to avoid the impact or noise caused by the sudden drop of the bracket main body 11, improving the stability and safety of the entire system.

[0059] The above optional embodiments of the present application can achieve the following beneficial effects: The setting of the elastic member 215 can not only optimize the movement process of the bracket main body 11, making its lifting smoother and safer, but also improve the energy consumption efficiency and service life of the system, which has a significant effect on enhancing the user experience and the overall performance of the luggage rack.

[0060] It should be noted that the elastic member 215 accumulates a certain amount of energy during the upward movement of the bracket main body 11 and is released when the bracket main body 11 moves downward, assisting it to smoothly return to the storage position, which not only reduces the energy consumption of the motor but also reduces the friction and wear between mechanical components, prolonging the service life of the system.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, the first driving component 21 further includes a mounting base. The driving gear 211, the driving rack 212, the driven gear 213, and the driven rack 214 are all arranged on the mounting base. One end of the elastic member 215 is connected to the bracket main body 11, and the other end of the elastic member 215 is arranged on the mounting base. The elastic member 215 is used to adjust the bracket main body 11 to make the relative movement between the bracket main body 11 and the mounting base smoother.

[0062] In another embodiment of the present application, one end of the elastic member 215 is connected to the bracket main body 11, and the other end of the elastic member 215 is connected to the vehicle top. The elastic member 215 is used to adjust the bracket main body 11 to make the relative movement between the bracket main body 11 and the vehicle top smoother.

[0063] Further, as Figure 1 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7As shown, the second driving assembly 22 includes a second driving motor 223, a second driving shaft, a movable rod 221 and a connecting rod 222, wherein the output shaft of the second driving motor 223 is connected to one end of the second driving shaft, and the other end of the second driving shaft is connected to one end of the movable rod 221; the other end of the movable rod 221 is rotatably arranged on the end bracket 12; the connecting rod 222 is arranged in parallel with the movable rod 221, and one end of the connecting rod 222 is movably arranged on the end bracket 12. Both ends of the movable rod 221 are movably arranged, the first end thereof is movably arranged on the end bracket 12, and the second end is movably arranged on the top of the vehicle through the second driving shaft. When the second driving shaft is driven to rotate, the movable rod 221 will rotate with the second end as the rotation center, so that the first end of the movable rod 221 drives the end bracket 12 to be displaced relative to the top of the vehicle, thereby realizing the swing of the end bracket 12. Although both ends of the connecting rod 222 can also be movably arranged on the top of the vehicle and the end bracket 12, unlike the movable rod 221, the connecting sections of the connecting rod 222 are not connected to the second drive shaft. By parallelly arranging the connecting rod 222 and the movable rod 221, the connecting rod 222 mainly provides auxiliary support during the rotation process, maintains the stability of the end bracket 12, and prevents unnecessary shaking or tilting during the lifting process.

[0064] The above optional embodiment of the present application can achieve the following beneficial effects: the second drive assembly 22 can effectively control the swing of the end bracket 12 while maintaining its stability during the movement. The second drive assembly 22 can cooperate with the first drive assembly 21 to drive the movement of the end bracket 12, the bracket body 11, and the filling block 13 to achieve the lifting and lowering movement control of the luggage rack.

[0065] Furthermore, if Figures 2 to 7 As shown, the filling block 13 includes a connecting portion and an abutting portion. When the connecting portion is located between the bracket body 11 and the end bracket 12, and the bottom sides of the bracket body 11 and the end bracket 12 abut against the abutting portion, the bracket assembly 10 is in the first state. The filling block 13 is provided with a connecting portion and an abutting portion, and the connecting portion is the upper end surface of the filling block 13. When the bracket assembly 10 is in the first state, the two sides of the connecting portion of the filling block 13 are flush with the end bracket 12 and the bracket body 11 respectively, ensuring the tight connection between the various components, so that the top surface of the entire luggage rack forms a flat plane, which makes the luggage rack more beautiful visually, conforms to the streamlined design of the vehicle, and reduces wind resistance and wind noise. The two ends of the abutting portion of the filling block 13 abut against the bracket body 11 and the end bracket 12 to form a continuous load-bearing platform, which can increase the effective load-bearing area of ​​the luggage rack, making the luggage placement more stable, and at the same time can disperse the load, reduce the pressure on a single component, and improve the load-bearing capacity and service life of the entire luggage rack.

[0066] The above optional embodiments of the present application can achieve the following beneficial effects: Through the arrangement of the connecting part and the abutting part of the filling block 13, when the bracket assembly 10 is in the first state, the overall structure is more stable, and at the same time, the appearance is cleaner. Combined with the flush design at the top of the bracket main body 11, it not only improves the practicability of the roof rack, but also ensures the aesthetics and aerodynamic performance in the support and storage states, and at the same time strengthens the structural stability and safety of the roof rack.

[0067] Further, when the bracket assembly 10 is in the first state, the top surfaces of the bracket main body 11 and the end brackets 12 are arranged flush with the vehicle top surface, or the top surfaces of the bracket main body 11 and the end brackets 12 protrude above the vehicle top surface, or the top surfaces of the bracket main body 11 and the end brackets 12 are lower than the vehicle top surface. When the bracket assembly 10 is in the second state, the top surface of the bracket main body 11 is arranged flush with the vehicle top surface, or the top surface of the bracket main body 11 protrudes above the vehicle top surface, or the top surface of the bracket main body 11 is lower than the vehicle top surface. As Figure 8 shown, Figure 8 is the positional relationship where the bracket main body 11 is flush with the vehicle top surface when the bracket assembly 10 is in the second state. It should be noted that when the bracket assembly 10 is in the second state, the top surface of the bracket main body 11 can protrude, be lowered or be flush with the vehicle top surface, but the top surface of the bracket main body 11 and the vehicle top surface are smoothly connected, that is, the top surface of the roof rack and the vehicle top surface are arranged in a streamline shape to reduce the influence of air packets and wind noise.

[0068] The above optional embodiments of the present application can achieve the following beneficial effects: During the driving of the vehicle, the wind resistance and wind noise are significantly reduced. At the same time, when the roof rack is stored on the roof of the vehicle, the appearance of the vehicle can be made cleaner. When the user does not need to use the roof rack, by controlling the driving part 20, the bracket assembly 10 is adjusted to the second state, so as to achieve the storage effect.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, the top surface of the bracket main body 11 is arranged flush with the vehicle top surface, forming a seamless appearance, effectively reducing wind resistance and wind noise, improving the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle, and at the same time improving the aesthetics of the vehicle. It is applicable to all types of vehicles, improving the practicability and flexibility of the lifting roof rack.

[0070] In another embodiment of the present application, the top surface of the bracket main body 11 protrudes above the vehicle top surface. At this time, even when the bracket assembly 10 is in the second state, a part of the top surface of the bracket main body 11 will protrude above the vehicle top surface. Through the smooth connection and streamline setting method between the top surface of the bracket main body 11 and the vehicle top surface, it is possible to reduce wind resistance and wind noise while meeting the user's personalized needs and pursuing the aesthetics of the vehicle body.

[0071] In another embodiment of the present application, the top surface of the bracket body 11 is set lower than the top of the vehicle, further optimizing the aerodynamic performance. By completely embedding the roof rack into the top structure of the vehicle, the profile of the vehicle can be reduced as much as possible, reducing wind resistance and wind noise. It is applicable to vehicles with extremely high requirements for vehicle aerodynamic performance, such as high-performance sedans.

[0072] Furthermore, as Figures 1 to 7 shown, along the extending direction of the bracket body 11, a plurality of groove structures 100 are formed on the bracket body 11, and LED lights are arranged in the groove structures 100. The LED lights arranged in the groove structures 100 can provide various lighting modes according to user needs and vehicle design. For example, in a night or low-light environment, after the bracket body 11 is raised, the user can turn on the LED lights through a mobile phone software or a vehicle key button. The user can turn on the LED lights through the mobile phone software or the vehicle's control panel to provide additional lighting for the vehicle, facilitating finding the vehicle in a large parking lot or using it during outdoor camping, enhancing convenience and safety. In addition, the LED lights can also be set to a flashing mode for vehicle warning or personalized display, increasing the technological sense and visual effect of the vehicle.

[0073] The above optional embodiments of the present application can achieve the following beneficial effects: By integrating LED lights in the groove structures 100 of the bracket body 11, not only the functions of the roof rack are expanded, making it a multi-functional system integrating load-bearing, lighting, and personalized display, but also the technological sense and user convenience of the vehicle are enhanced.

[0074] According to another specific embodiment of the present application, a vehicle is further provided, and the vehicle has a liftable roof rack, and the liftable roof rack is the liftable roof rack in the above embodiment.

[0075] The above optional embodiments of the present application can achieve the following beneficial effects: By integrating the liftable roof rack onto the vehicle and utilizing the vehicle's power system and control system, the automatic lifting of the roof rack is realized. When the vehicle is driving, the roof rack can be automatically retracted onto the roof, reducing wind resistance and wind noise, and improving driving efficiency and comfort; when the roof rack is needed, it can be automatically raised to provide a convenient luggage-carrying space. The liftable roof rack is applicable to various types of vehicles, such as sedans, SUVs, MPVs, etc., especially applicable to vehicles pursuing low wind resistance and multi-functionality. The usage process is that the user controls the lifting of the roof rack through the vehicle's control panel or a mobile phone APP to realize automatic retraction onto the roof and display.

[0076] The present application also provides a preferred embodiment of the liftable roof rack. To reduce the wind resistance and wind noise brought by the roof rack and endow the roof rack with more functions, the lifting of the roof rack is realized through a gear-rack mechanism and a four-bar linkage mechanism.

[0077] Specifically, the lifting luggage rack includes two bracket bodies 11, end brackets 12 provided at both ends of each bracket body 11, filling blocks 13 between the end brackets 12 and the bracket bodies 11, two driving parts 20, and LED lights. The driving part 20 includes a first driving component 21 and a second driving component 22. The first driving component 21 includes a first driving motor 216, and the second driving component 22 includes a second driving motor 223. The first driving motor 216 adjusts the up and down movement of the bracket body 11 and the filling block 13 through a driving shaft, and the second driving motor 223 adjusts the swing of the end bracket 12 through another driving shaft. An active rod 221 and a connecting rod 222 are provided on the end bracket 12. The active rod 221 is connected to the second driving shaft, and the other end of the active rod 221 is connected to the end bracket 12. The active rod 221 swings around the axis of the second driving shaft. The driving gear 211 is connected to a driving shaft. The driving gear 211 meshes with a driving rack 212 and a driven gear 213 respectively. The driven gear 213 meshes with a driven rack 214. The driving rack 212 is connected to the bracket body 11, and the driven rack 214 is connected to the filling block 13. The rotation of the first driving shaft can drive the bracket body 11 and the filling block 13 to perform a lifting movement. An elastic member 215 is provided between the bracket body 11 and the mounting base. The elastic member 215 can make the movement of the bracket body 11 smoother and more stable. A groove structure 100 is provided on the outer side of the vehicle on the bracket body 11. The LED light is installed in the groove structure 100 and exposes the light-emitting surface.

[0078] The lifting process of the luggage rack is as follows:

[0079] Luggage rack descending: First, the first driving motor 216 rotates, transmits the driving force through the first driving shaft connected to the first driving motor 216, and successively drives the driving gear 211, the driving rack 212, the driven gear 213, and the driven rack 214 to move. The driven rack 214 first drives the filling block 13 to move downward, creating a movement space for the end bracket 12 and the bracket body 11, as Figures 2 to 4 shown; Subsequently, the driving rack 212 drives the bracket body 11 to move downward until it is flush with the vehicle roof; Finally, the second driving motor 223 drives the active rod 221 to swing through the second driving shaft connected thereto, drives the connecting rod 222 and the end bracket 12 to swing until the end bracket 12 is flush with the vehicle roof, completing the descent of the entire luggage rack.

[0080] Luggage rack ascending: Contrary to the descending process, the end bracket 12 rises first, and then the bracket body 11 and the filling block 13 rise successively. After the luggage rack rises, the user can operate the LED light switch on the luggage rack through the mobile phone software or the car key case, which is convenient for finding the car in a large parking lot or using the LED light for lighting when camping.

[0081] From the above description, it can be seen that this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0082] 1) The accommodation and display of the luggage rack are realized, the wind resistance and wind noise are reduced, the user's vehicle use experience is improved, and the vehicle's technological nature is enhanced.

[0083] 2) LEDs are integrated within the bracket main body 11, which can meet the personalized needs of users, such as lighting for camping at night.

[0084] 3) The vehicle can be located in a large parking lot by the flashing or constant lighting of the LED lamp on the bracket main body 11, improving convenience.
