Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle accessories, specifically a tiltable carrying rack with a flip-up function, which is particularly suitable for installation at the rear of a vehicle and can be used for convenient installation, disassembly, and tilting of the rack. Background Technology

[0002] Most car carriers on the market are currently fixed, and when not in use, they usually take up space in the vehicle. These fixed carrier structures typically cannot be adjusted in angle, leading to wasted vehicle space in some situations and inconvenience in installation and use when needed.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide an adjustable carrying rack structure that offers greater flexibility in both use and storage, and addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies, has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a tiltable carrying rack structure. Through a convenient structural design, the rack can be adjusted to different tilt angles to achieve flexible carrying and storage functions.

[0005] Therefore, the structure of the present invention includes: a trailer ball or connecting pipe, a connecting seat, a fixing seat, a shelf, and is equipped with a foot switch and a linkage device, characterized in that: The trailer ball or connecting tube is a fixed device installed at the rear of the vehicle, serving as a support point for the cargo rack; This connector is used to secure the trailer ball or connecting tube, so that the carrying rack is fixed to the rear of the vehicle; The mounting base is designed in a U-shape or V-shape, and is connected to the connecting base in the center to support and fix the shelf. The shelf is mounted on a fixed base and can tilt relative to the fixed base to achieve angle adjustment; the shelf has a frame structure and provides a license plate frame mounted on the front end of the shelf; The aforementioned fixed base is provided with a pivot seat, and the shelf is provided with a pivot part at a predetermined position. The pivot part is axially connected to the pivot seat, and the two are connected by a pin, so that the shelf can rotate or tilt on the pivot seat. The shelf has a central tube, and a fixing member is provided at the upper end of the connecting seat. The fixing member has a U-shaped groove for fixing the position of the shelf. The tube has a linkage end, which can be detachably connected to the fixing member. The tube has a foot switch on the side opposite to the linkage end. The linkage device is located between the foot switch and the linkage end, and one side of the linkage device is fixed to the license plate frame. The linkage end has a narrow groove, and the linkage device has a sliding member in the narrow groove. The sliding member is connected to a spring for resetting. Therefore, when the foot switch is pressed, the license plate frame hangs downwards, and the linkage device pulls the sliding part in the linkage end, causing the linkage end of the shelf to disengage from the fixed part, so that the shelf can be flipped or its angle adjusted.

[0006] In an embodiment of the present invention, the linkage end is provided with a safety locking device, which can lock the sliding member in the U-shaped groove when needed to prevent the shelf from accidentally flipping over during travel.

[0007] In an embodiment of the present invention, a spring is used to automatically reset the slider to its original position, ensuring that the slider remains in a locked state when the foot switch is not operated.

[0008] In an embodiment of the present invention, the foot switch is composed of a J-shaped rod, a bent plate, and a torsion spring. When the user wants to unlock the switch, stepping on the plate will cause the rod to pull the linkage device, causing the sliding member to disengage from the U-shaped groove, and the torsion spring will return the foot switch to its original position.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. Tilting function: Through the pivot design and release mechanism, the carrying rack can be tilted at different angles for easy access to or storage of items.

[0010] 2. Quick adjustment: The carrying frame can be released by one foot operation via a foot switch and linkage mechanism, allowing it to quickly enter the tilting state.

[0011] 3. Secure locking: Equipped with a safety locking device to ensure that the carrier will not come loose or tilt accidentally during travel due to bumps.

[0012] 4. Automatic Reset: The sliding component has a built-in spring, which allows the carrying frame to automatically return to the locked state without any force applied, improving safety during use.

[0013] 5. Improved ease of use: Adjustments can be made simply by stepping on the foot switch, making it suitable for single-person operation.

[0014] 6. Multiple uses: In addition to serving as a shelf for carrying items, it can also be paired with other accessories, such as suitcases. Attached Figure Description
