[0033] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application.

[0034] Reference below Figures 1-6 The rotating shaft assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present application is described. The rotating shaft assembly 10 includes a base 11 , a cover 12 and a limiting member 13 .

[0035] The base 11 is connected to the vehicle's C-pillar 20 and extends away from the C-pillar 20. A mounting cavity 111 is formed within the base 11, and an opening 112 is formed at the free end of the base 11, communicating with the mounting cavity 111. The cover 12 is located at the free end of the base 11 and abuts against the opening 112. In a cross-section along the extension direction of the base 11, the projection of the opening 112 is located within the cover 12. A portion of the cover 12 passes through the opening 112 and extends into the mounting cavity 111. A stopper 13 is housed within the mounting cavity 111 and abuts against the inner wall of the mounting cavity 111. The stopper 13 is connected to a portion of the cover 12 to limit the movement of the cover 12 relative to the base 11.

[0036] Currently, coat racks in SUVs utilize a movable design, utilizing a cylindrical or truncated cone-shaped structure with a thick base and a narrow head on the left or right C-pillar guard plate as a rotation axis to achieve rotation. However, existing rotation axes are limited in functionality, serving only to support and guide the coat rack's rotation and unable to attach a curtain cord. Curtains can obscure items, protect privacy, and reduce sunlight damage, but the existing rotation axis structure restricts their installation and use, requiring users to locate and secure them, increasing installation complexity and potentially impacting the interior aesthetics and spatial layout. Therefore, existing SUV coat rack rotation axis structures are functionally deficient and fail to meet user demands for multifunctional utilization of interior space.

[0037] In this regard, the present application proposes a rotating shaft assembly 10, which can realize multiple functions to meet the usage requirements of different markets.

[0038] like Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, specifically, the rotating shaft assembly 10 may include a base 11, a cover plate 12 and a limit member 13. The base 11 may be arranged at the C-pillar 20 of the vehicle. It can be understood that the base 11 may be arranged at the C-pillar 20 on both sides of the vehicle, or may be arranged at the C-pillar 20 on only one side, and the base 11 may extend in a direction away from the C-pillar 20. An installation cavity 111 may be formed inside the base 11, and an opening 112 may be formed at the free end of the base 11, and the opening 112 may be connected to the installation cavity 111. The base 11 serves to support the clothes rack 30, and the clothes rack 30 may rotate along the base 11. The cover 12 can be located at the free end of the base 11, and the cover 12 can abut against the opening 112. In the cross section along the extension direction of the base 11, the projection of the opening 112 is located inside the cover 12, thereby ensuring that the cover 12 can completely cover the opening 112. The cover 12 can close the installation cavity 111. Therefore, the hanging rope 40 of the curtain can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the base 11, and the cover 12 can prevent the hanging rope 40 from detaching from the base 11, thereby effectively preventing the hanging rope 40 of the curtain from falling off. In addition, the base 11 can also be used as a hook to hang some items, and the cover 12 can also prevent items from falling off from the base 11, thereby realizing the multi-functional use of the rotating shaft assembly 10 and meeting the user's usage needs.

[0039] Furthermore, a portion of the cover plate 12 can be inserted into the opening 112, and a portion of the cover plate 12 can extend into the mounting cavity 111. The stopper 13 can be received in the mounting cavity 111, and the stopper 13 can abut against the inner wall of the mounting cavity 111, thereby achieving position limiting between the stopper 13 and the base 11. The stopper 13 is connected to a portion of the cover plate 12 to achieve position limiting between the stopper 13 and the cover plate 12. Therefore, by connecting the stopper 13 to a portion of the cover plate 12, the movement of the cover plate 12 relative to the base 11 can be restricted, thereby achieving the fixation of the cover plate 12. Optionally, the stopper 13 and the cover plate 12 can be connected by threads, or the stopper 13 and the cover plate 12 can be detachably connected by snapping or plugging.

[0040] In short, the rotating shaft assembly 10 of the embodiment of the present application includes a base 11 and a cover plate 12. The base 11 is connected to the C-pillar 20 of the vehicle. The cover plate 12 can be set at the free end of the base 11. The limiter 13 can be located inside the base 11 and connected to the base 11 and the cover plate 12 respectively to fix the cover plate 12 to the base 11. The base 11 can be used to install a clothes rack 30, a curtain and hang some items. The cover plate 12 can limit the curtain and items to prevent them from falling off from the base 11. Therefore, the rotating shaft assembly 10 can support and suspend a variety of objects. Compared with the existing technology, it has more functions and meets user and market needs.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the cover 12 may include a main body portion 121 and an extension portion 122. The main body portion 121 may be located at the free end of the base 11, and the main body portion 121 may be in contact with the opening portion 112. In a cross section along the extension direction of the base 11, the projection of the opening portion 112 is located inside the main body portion 121, ensuring that the main body portion 121 can completely cover the opening portion 112. The extension portion 122 may be provided on a side of the main body portion 121 facing the mounting cavity 111, and the extension portion 122 may be passed through the opening portion 112. In some embodiments, the extension portion 121 may be provided on a side of the main body portion 121 facing the mounting cavity 111. 22 and the main body 121 can be detachably connected by screws or bolts, or the extension 122 and the main body 121 can be detachably connected by snapping or plugging, or the extension 122 and the main body 121 are constructed as an integrated structure, the extension 122 can extend into the installation cavity 111, and the extension 122 can be connected to the limiting member 13, thereby achieving fixation between the extension 122 and the limiting member 13, and then fixing the main body 121 to the free end of the base 11, so that the main body 121 can limit the hanging rope 40 of the curtain and the objects.

[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the inner wall of the installation cavity 111 can be formed with a first protrusion 113, and the side of the first protrusion 113 facing the C-pillar 20 can be formed with a step surface 1131, and the first protrusion 113 can be formed with a through hole 1132 arranged along the extension direction of the base 11, and the limit member 13 can abut against the step surface 1131, and a part of the limit member 13 can be passed through the through hole 1132 and connected to the extension portion 122. By abutting the limit member 13 with the step surface 1131, the force on the limit member 13 is balanced, the extension portion 122 exerts a pulling force on the limit member 13, and the step surface 1131 can provide a supporting force on the limit member 13, so that the limit member 13 can be limited along the extension direction of the base 11.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the limit member 13 may include a support portion 131 and a mounting portion 132. The support portion 131 can be accommodated in the mounting cavity 111, and the support portion 131 can abut against the step surface 1131. The mounting portion 132 can be arranged on the side of the support portion 131 facing the main body portion 121, and the mounting portion 132 can extend toward the main body portion 121. The mounting portion 132 can be passed through the through hole 1132 and connected to the extension portion 122. By connecting the mounting portion 132 to the extension portion 122 and the mounting portion 132 to the support portion 131, the connection between the limit member 13 and the cover plate 12 is achieved. In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the support portion 131 is larger than the outer diameter of the mounting portion 132, ensuring that the support portion 131 can be effectively supported at the step surface 1131, and the mounting portion 132 can be passed through the through hole 1132 so that the mounting portion 132 can be connected to the extension portion 122.

[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a first groove 1221 can be formed at one end of the extension portion 122 facing the C-pillar 20, the first groove 1221 can be set to be recessed inward, and the inner peripheral wall of the first groove 1221 can be formed with a first matching portion, the mounting portion 132 can extend into the first groove 1221, and the outer peripheral wall of the mounting portion 132 can be formed with a second matching portion, and the second matching portion can be matched with the first matching portion. In some embodiments, the first matching portion and the second matching portion can be matched by threads. By accommodating the mounting portion 132 in the first groove 1221, the connection strength between the extension portion 122 and the mounting portion 132 can be ensured, thereby improving the connection strength between the limit member 13 and the cover plate 12.

[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a second protrusion 1211 may be formed on the outer peripheral wall of the main body 121, and the second protrusion 1211 may extend toward the C-pillar 20, and a second groove 1212 may be defined between the second protrusion 1211 and the outer wall of the base 11. When the vehicle is driving, the hanging rope 40 of the curtain and the object will move along the surface of the base 11. When the hanging rope 40 of the curtain and the object slide into the second groove 1212, the second protrusion 1211 can effectively prevent them from detaching from the second groove 1212, thereby improving the reliability of the rotating shaft assembly 10.

[0046] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a first limiting portion 1222 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the extension portion 122, and the first limiting portion 1222 can extend toward the inner wall of the installation cavity 111, and a second limiting portion can be formed on the inner wall of the installation cavity 111, and the second limiting portion can be connected to the first limiting portion 1222. Optionally, the first limiting portion 1222 and the second limiting portion can form a detachable connection by snapping and plugging. By connecting the first limiting portion 1222 with the second limiting portion, the anti-rotation function of the extension portion 122 can be achieved, thereby preventing the extension portion 122 from rotating when connected to the limiting member 13, thereby facilitating the installation of the extension portion 122.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the outer diameter of the base 11 gradually decreases along the direction of the C-pillar 20 toward the main body 121. When the vehicle is equipped with a curtain, after the curtain's hanging rope 40 is hung on the outer wall of the base 11, due to the gradual decrease in the outer diameter of the base 11, the curtain's hanging rope 40 affected by gravity will slide along the outer wall of the base 11 to the second groove 1212 between the second protrusion 1211 and the outer wall of the base 11, thereby effectively preventing the curtain's hanging rope 40 from falling off, and when the rotating shaft assembly 10 is used as a hook to hang some items, the item's hanging rope 40 will slide to the second groove 1212 under the influence of gravity, avoiding the problem of items falling off when the vehicle is driving on bumpy roads.

[0048] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a flange portion 114 is further formed on the side of the base 11 facing the C-pillar 20, and the flange portion 114 can extend along the circumferential direction. It should be noted that the circumferential direction can be the circumference of the base 11, and a connecting portion 115 connected to the C-pillar 20 is formed on the side of the flange portion 114 facing the C-pillar 20. Optionally, a detachable connection can be formed between the connecting portion 115 and the C-pillar 20 by screws or bolts, or a detachable connection can be formed between the connecting portion 115 and the C-pillar 20 by snapping or plugging. In some embodiments, the number of connecting portions 115 can be multiple, and multiple connecting portions 115 can be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the base 11. By providing multiple connecting portions 115, the connection strength between the base 11 and the C-pillar 20 can be further improved.
