[0023] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 , the technical solution of the utility model is further explained:

[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the utility model discloses a multi-section folding rear cover for a pickup truck, comprising a frame 1 and a cover plate, wherein the frame 1 and the middle section 3 of the cover plate are integrally formed, and the front section 2 of the cover plate and the rear section 4 of the cover plate are respectively movably connected to the middle section 3 of the cover plate. In other words, the middle section of the cover plate and the middle part of the frame are integrally formed, and during installation, the frame only needs to be installed on the rear compartment of the pickup truck, and the front section of the cover plate, the rear section of the cover plate and the middle section of the cover plate still use a traditional hinge structure.

[0025] It should be noted that elastic waterproof strips may be installed in the gaps between the front cover section 2, the rear cover section 4 and the bottom of the middle cover section 3 to prevent rainwater from flowing into the rear compartment through the gaps.

[0026] At the same time, the front section 2 of the cover plate, the rear section 4 of the cover plate and the middle section 3 of the cover plate can also be connected in a manner similar to a rotating shaft, and are not limited to a connection hinge structure.

[0027] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the frame 1 is provided with supporting mechanisms for driving the cover front section 2 and the cover rear section 4 to flip and open. In other words, the supporting mechanisms are built into both sides of the frame, and the supporting mechanisms are hidden in both sides of the frame, and do not need to be arranged at the center of the rear cover, and do not occupy the rear compartment space.

[0028] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the support mechanism includes a support link 5 and a power member, and the cover front section 2 and the cover rear section 4 are respectively provided with lifting ears, one end of the support link 5 is hinged to the lifting ear, and the other end of the support link 5 is hinged to the power member; that is, the power member is used to drive the support link, and the support link moves synchronously to lift and flip the cover front section or the cover rear section, thereby opening the cover front section or the cover rear section.

[0029] The supporting connecting rod 5 and the power member are respectively arranged in grooves provided in the frame 1. That is to say, the supporting connecting rod and the power member are respectively hidden in the grooves in the frame, so as to reduce the occupied space of the supporting connecting rod and the power member.

[0030] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the power member includes a sliding linear module, which is embedded in a groove in the frame 1, and a hinge seat is provided on the slide seat 6 in the sliding linear module, and the end of the support connecting rod 5 is hinged to the hinge seat. In other words, the slide seat in the sliding linear module moves along the screw rod, and the slide seat synchronously drives one end of the support connecting rod to move, and the other end of the support connecting rod synchronously lifts the cover plate upward.

[0031] The supporting connecting rod 5 is an electric telescopic rod, one end of which is hinged to the lifting ear, and the other end of which is hinged to the power member. In other words, the supporting connecting rod is an electric telescopic rod, and when the rod body of the electric telescopic rod is extended, the problem of insufficient flipping angle of the cover plate can be compensated without occupying the equipment space by the short rod. The hinge shaft at the end of the rod body of the electric telescopic rod can rotate around the lifting ear, and the cover plate can be driven to open at a large angle during the extension of the rod body of the electric telescopic rod.

[0032] In some embodiments, a solar panel is provided on the middle 3 sections of the cover plate, a control box is provided in the middle section 3 of the cover plate, a battery, a DSP signal processor and a control handle are provided in the control box, the battery is electrically connected to the solar panel and the DSP signal processor respectively, the DSP signal processor is electrically connected to the control handle through an external signal line, a control button for controlling the action of the power part is provided on the control handle, and the DSP signal processor is electrically connected to the power part through a relay group; that is, the solar panel is used to charge the battery, the battery supplies power to the entire electronic device, the DSP signal processor is configured with independent I / O input and output interfaces, the I / O input interface is electrically connected to the control handle through an IC bus, the I / O output interface is electrically connected to the relay group through an IC bus, and the corresponding front section of the cover plate or the rear section of the cover plate can be controlled to open or reset by clicking the corresponding control button on the control handle. It should be noted that the DSP signal processor in this embodiment is DSPB56367AG150, and its packaging specification is QFP-144.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a window for pulling out the control handle and a waterproof plate for preventing water from entering the window are provided at one end of the middle section 3 of the cover plate, and the waterproof plate is buckled on the window. That is, when not in use, the control handle is in the cavity below the middle section of the cover plate; when the cover plate needs to be opened, the waterproof plate is opened, the control handle is taken out, and the control button on the control handle is clicked to quickly open the cover plate.

[0034] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the frame 1 is symmetrically provided with a plurality of fastening members for fastening the frame to the pickup truck compartment. That is to say, the fastening members are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame so that the forces on both sides of the frame are balanced after the frame is installed on the rear compartment.

[0035] In some embodiments, the clamping member includes a limit head 7 and a handle 8. The handle 8 is inserted into the frame 1. The limit head 7 is arranged at one end of the handle 8 and is located below the cover plate. The handle 8 is provided with an external thread and the other end of the handle is provided with a nut 9. The limit head 7 cooperates with the side of the pickup truck compartment to fix the frame 1 on the pickup truck compartment. That is to say, when installing the rear cover, after placing the frame in the rear compartment, it is only necessary to pull the lock handle outward for a while. At this time, the limit head is close to the side of the rear compartment. Then, the nut is tightened to firmly press the limit head against the side of the rear compartment. When dismantling it later, the nut can be loosened to quickly remove the frame from the rear compartment. There is no need for personnel to enter the rear compartment to operate. It can be operated from the outside.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the limit head 7 includes a limit seat 10 and a limit baffle 12. The limit baffle 12 is tilted at the lower part of the limit seat 10. The limit seat 10 and the limit baffle 12 are an integrally formed structure. The limit seat 10 is provided with a limit groove 11 for accommodating the side of the pickup truck compartment. The limit baffle is located below the side of the pickup truck compartment and abuts against the inner side of the pickup truck compartment. In other words, when the limit head is abutted against the side of the rear compartment by pulling the rotary handle outward, the limit groove in the limit seat is just stuck to the protruding side of the rear compartment, and the limit baffle abuts against the inner side of the rear compartment. As a whole, the limit groove and the limit baffle can be tightly attached to the inner side of the rear compartment under the tightening action of the nut, thereby realizing the vertical limit.

[0037] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model.
