Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0039] Various non-limiting embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Any number of elements in the accompanying drawings is for illustration and not for limitation, and any naming is only for distinction and does not have any limiting meaning. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0040] Embodiment 1 of the front fence connection device
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, a front fence connecting device is used to connect the additional rod 18 and the connecting rod 19 of the hood part. The front fence connecting device includes a side connecting block 1, a top connecting block 2, a bolt 3 and a stopper 4, wherein the side connecting block 1 is used to connect the additional rod 18 on the corresponding side of the hood, the top connecting block 2 is used to connect the connecting rod 19 on the hood, and the bolt 3 connects the side connecting block 1 and the top connecting block 2 together, and the stopper 4 is used to prevent the bolt 3 from loosening during long-term work.
[0042] Specifically, the side connection block 1 is provided with an adjustment hole 5, and the top connection block 2 is provided with a stop hole 6 extending into the top connection block 2. At the same time, the top connection block 2 is also provided with a threaded hole 7. The stop hole 6 and the threaded hole 7 have different extension directions, but the stop hole 6 passes through the threaded hole 7, that is, the stop hole 6 and the threaded hole 7 are connected to each other. The bolt 3 has two ends, one of which is equipped with a rotating hand wheel 9, which is convenient for rotating the bolt 3 by rotating the hand wheel 9. At the same time, a pressing part 10 is also installed near the position of the bolt 3 near the rotating hand wheel 9. The other end of the bolt 3 passes through the adjustment hole 5 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 7. At the same time, the pressing part 10 presses on the side connection block 1, thereby realizing the fixation between the side connection block 1 and the top connection block 2, and the bolt 3 also passes through the stop hole 6. A limiting structure is provided on the bolt 3. The limiting structure in this embodiment is a limiting hole. The stopper 4 passes through the limiting hole on the bolt 3 from the stopper hole 6. When the bolt 3 is loosened, the bolt 3 will drive the stopper 4 to rotate. However, the stopper 4 is in the stopper hole 6 at this time. The side wall of the stopper hole 6 will limit the rotation of the stopper 4, thereby limiting the rotation of the bolt 3. Figure 1-3 As shown in the figure, the anti-rotation member 4 in this embodiment is a common cotter pin or cylindrical pin that can be inserted into the limiting hole of the bolt 3, or other rod-like components that can be inserted into the limiting hole, wherein the cotter pin can be a common R-type pin.
[0043] At the same time, the side connecting block 1 and the top connecting block 2 have mutually fitting anti-rotation planes 8, and the anti-rotation plane 8 is not perpendicular to the extension direction of the bolt 3. When the front rail connecting device fixes the additional rod 18 and the connecting rod 19, the anti-rotation plane 8 of the side connecting block 1 and the anti-rotation plane 8 of the top connecting block 2 are mutually fitting. Therefore, when only one bolt 3 connects the side connecting block 1 and the top connecting block 2, the bolt 3 and the mutually fitting anti-rotation planes 8 can prevent the side connecting block 1 and the top connecting block 2 from rotating relative to each other, thereby ensuring the stability of the hood installation.
[0044] Specifically, the side connection block 1 is provided with a first engaging portion 11, which is similar to a T-shaped structure, and the mounting rod 18 is provided with a T-shaped slot, and the first engaging portion 11 is engaged in the T-shaped slot. Before the bolt 3 is fixed, the first engaging portion 11 can slide in the T-shaped slot, so that the first engaging portion 11 and the mounting rod 18 are slidably engaged. At the same time, when the hood needs to be assembled, two limit fixing blocks can be fixed in the T-shaped slot of each mounting rod 18 by screws, and the first engaging portion 11 is located between the two limit fixing blocks, so that after the hood is assembled, the sliding of the side connection block 1 in the T-shaped slot of the mounting rod 18 is limited by the two limit fixing blocks. A second engaging portion 12 is provided on the top connecting block 2. The structure of the second engaging portion 12 is similar to that of the first engaging portion 11, both of which are similar to a T-shaped structure. The connecting rod 19 also has a T-shaped slot. The second engaging portion 12 is engaged in the T-shaped slot. Before the bolt 3 is fixed, the second engaging portion 12 can slide in the T-shaped slot, so that the second engaging portion 12 and the connecting rod 19 are slidably engaged.
[0045] By setting the side connecting block 1 and the top connecting block 2, they can be slidably engaged on the corresponding mounting rods and connecting rods, and fixed with bolts 3. The side connecting block and the top connecting block are fixed with bolts 3 instead of directly fixing the mounting rods and the connecting rods with bolts 3, which facilitates the early installation of the hood and the later maintenance and replacement of the hood.
[0046] In this embodiment, a side connecting block 1 and a top connecting block 2 are respectively provided to connect the mounting rod 18 and the connecting rod 19, and the side connecting block 1 and the top connecting block 2 are connected by bolts 3, so that the mounting rod 18 and the connecting rod 19 are fixedly connected together, and a stopper 4 is passed through the bolt 3. When the bolt 3 rotates, the top connecting block 2 has a stopper effect on the stopper 4, so that the bolt 3 can no longer rotate under the obstruction of the stopper 4, thereby limiting the loosening of the bolt 3 during long-term use, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the hood and the car body.
[0047] Embodiment 2 of the front fence connection device
[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, the top connecting block 2 is not provided with a stop hole 6 extending into the interior of the top connecting block 2, but a stop groove 14 is provided on an end face of the top connecting block 2, the end face is away from the side connecting block 1, and the threaded hole 7 is located in the stop groove 14. When the side connecting block 1 and the top connecting block 2 are connected by bolts 3, the bolts 3 will be located in the stop groove 14. At this time, the stop member 4 is inserted from the stop groove 14 into the limiting hole of the bolt 3.
[0049] When the bolt 3 becomes loose, the bolt 3 will drive the anti-rotation member 4 to rotate, but the anti-rotation member 4 is in the anti-rotation groove 14 at this time. The groove wall and groove bottom of the anti-rotation groove 14 will limit the rotation of the anti-rotation member 4, and then limit the rotation of the bolt 3.
[0050] Embodiment 3 of the front fence connection device
[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the top connecting block 2 in this embodiment is not provided with a stop hole 6 extending into the top connecting block 2. Instead, after the side connecting block 1 and the top connecting block 2 are connected using the bolt 3, there is a gap between the top connecting block 2 and the connecting rod 19, and the bolt 3 will extend into the gap. At this time, the stop member 4 is inserted into the limiting hole of the bolt 3 from the gap.
[0052] When the bolt 3 becomes loose, the bolt 3 will drive the anti-rotation piece 4 to rotate, but the anti-rotation piece 4 is at the outside of the top connecting block 2 at this time, and the end face of the top connecting block 2 will limit the rotation of the anti-rotation piece 4, thereby limiting the rotation of the bolt 3.
[0053] Embodiment 4 of the front fence connection device
[0054] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment is improved on the basis of any one of the embodiments 1-3. The difference between this embodiment and embodiments 1-3 is that the limiting structure in this embodiment is an annular groove 13, and the width of the annular groove 13 along the extension direction of the bolt 3 is smaller than the width of the top connecting block 2 along the extension direction of the bolt 3, that is, the top connecting block 2 can completely accommodate the annular groove 13. The anti-rotation member 4 in this embodiment is an R-type pin, and the R-type pin is sleeved in the annular groove 13. When the bolt 3 rotates, the annular groove 13 will contact with the R-type pin, thereby preventing the bolt 3 from continuing to rotate.
[0055] By setting an annular groove 13 on the bolt 3, the annular groove 13 cooperates with the R-type pin to stop. When the bolt 3 is loosened, the R-type pin will come into contact with the annular groove 13, and the top connecting block 2 supports and blocks the R-type pin from moving downward, thereby limiting the bolt 3 from further loosening.
[0056] Embodiment of anti-falling car cover
[0057] like Figure 4-Figure 6As shown, an anti-falling car cover comprises a front rail connecting device as described in any one of Examples 1-4, two parallel mounting rods 18, a connecting rod 19, a clamping mechanism 20, a plurality of frames, and a cover plate 16 installed corresponding to the plurality of frames. The two mounting rods 18 are disposed on the corresponding sides of the car body, the connecting rod 19 is installed between the two mounting rods 18 through two front rail connecting devices, and each frame is placed on the two mounting rods 18. The clamping mechanism 20 is installed on the frame or the cover plate 16, and the clamping mechanism 20 fixes the frame or the cover plate 16 to the mounting rod 18 on the corresponding side. A front rail 15 is fixedly mounted on the connecting rod 19, and two adjacent frames are hinged by a rotating shaft system 17, and a frame closest to the front rail 15 is also hinged to the front rail 15 by the rotating shaft system 17, and the frames can be folded by the rotating shaft system 17.
[0058] By providing the front fence connecting device, the connection between the mounting rod 18 and the connecting rod 19 is made more stable, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the hood and the vehicle compartment during long-term use and preventing the hood from falling off.
[0059] The mounting rod 18 and the connecting rod 19 can be aluminum profiles. The mounting rod 18 of the aluminum profile is provided with a first T-slot, which is slidably engaged with the first engaging portion 11. The connecting rod 19 of the aluminum profile is provided with a second T-slot 21, which is slidably engaged with the second engaging portion 12. The extension direction of the first T-slot is consistent with the extension direction of the mounting rod 18, and the extension direction of the second T-slot 21 is consistent with the extension direction of the connecting rod 19.
[0060] The installation of the front fence connection device is facilitated by providing a first T-slot on the mounting rod 18 and a second T-slot 21 on the connecting rod 19, and by the cooperation between the first T-slot and the first engaging portion 11 and the cooperation between the second T-slot 21 and the second engaging portion 12.
[0061] During installation, the side connecting block 1 can be slidably installed on the mounting rod 18 through the cooperation of the first clamping part 11 and the first T-slot, and the top connecting block 2 can be slidably installed on the connecting rod 19 through the cooperation of the second clamping part 12 and the second T-slot 21. Then, the bolt 3 is used to pass through the side connecting block 1 and threadedly connect it to the top connecting block 2, and then the stopper 4 is used to limit the loosening of the bolt 3.
