[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the utility model described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0026] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention to be protected, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0028] The branch separator includes an upper fixing component, a lower fixing component (not shown) and a guide rope 6. It is easy to understand that, like the prior art, in actual application, the upper fixing component is fixed to the top of the A-pillar or the front end of the luggage rack, and the lower fixing component is fixed to the hood. When in use, the guide rope 6 is tightened between the upper fixing component and the lower fixing component.

[0029] The utility model improves the structure of the upper fixing component and the arrangement of the guide rope 6. In practical applications, the lower fixing component can adopt the structure in the prior art or other conventional methods, and this embodiment does not make specific restrictions.

[0030] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-4 In this embodiment, the upper fixed component includes a support box 1, a storage tray 2, a spiral spring 3 and a limit member 4.

[0031] The bottom of the support box 1 is connected to a mounting plate 7, on which a guide seat 8 is provided, and on which a guide hole for the guide rope 6 to pass through is provided, that is, after the guide rope 6 passes through the support box 1, it passes through the guide hole, so as to facilitate the better release and retraction of the guide rope 6. Furthermore, a connecting portion 701 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 7, and the connecting portion 701 is connected and fixed to the top of the A-pillar by screws to realize the installation of the upper fixing component.

[0032] The storage tray 2 is rotatably arranged in the support box 1. Specifically, a rotating shaft 101 is arranged at the bottom of the support box 1. The storage device is sleeved on the rotating shaft 101. The storage tray 2 can rotate around the rotating shaft 101. The guide rope 6 is wound around the storage tray 2 and one end is fixed to the storage tray 2. That is, the rotation of the storage tray 2 can realize the release and retraction of the guide rope 6. Specifically, the storage tray 2 of this embodiment includes a column and baffles at both ends. The guide rope 6 is wound around the column, and the baffles limit the position of the guide rope 6.

[0033] The inner end of the spiral spring 3 is connected to the support box 1, and the outer end is connected to the storage tray 2. In this embodiment, as a rotation, the two ends of the spiral spring 3 are fixed by a clamping method. Specifically, a notch is provided on the rotating shaft 101 of the support box 1, and the inner end of the spiral spring 3 is clamped in the notch. A clamping block is provided on the end surface of the storage tray 2, and the outer end of the spiral spring 3 is bent to form a clamping groove to wrap the clamping block. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the two ends of the spiral spring 3 can of course be fixed to the support box 1 and the storage tray 2 in other ways, such as welding.

[0034] When the guide rope 6 is released and the storage tray 2 rotates, the spiral spring 3 is tightened, so that the guide rope 6 can be automatically retracted by the spiral spring 3 after use.

[0035] The storage tray 2 is provided with a plurality of graduated holes 201 in the circumferential direction. The limiter 4 is connected to the support box 1 and can be inserted into or withdrawn from the graduated hole 201. When the limiter 4 is inserted into the graduated hole 201, the rotation of the storage tray 2 is restricted. In this way, after the guide rope 6 is released to the required length, the storage tray 2 can be fixed by the limiter 4.

[0036] As can be seen from the above, in the utility model, the guide rope 6 is stored by the storage tray 2 in the upper fixed component. On the one hand, the guide rope 6 of the required length can be released, so that the branch separator can adapt to different vehicle models; on the other hand, the guide rope 6 is pulled out and fixed to the lower fixed component when in use, and the storage tray 2 is locked by the limit member 4. At the same time, during the release of the guide rope 6, the spiral spring 3 is tightened and stores energy. After use, the guide rope 6 is removed from the lower fixed component, and the limit member 4 is withdrawn. At this time, the spiral spring 3 releases energy, drives the storage tray 2 to rotate, and automatically winds the guide rope 6 and stores it in the storage tray 2, which is more convenient to use.

[0037] In this embodiment, as an option, the connection method of the limiter 4 and the support box 1 is as follows: the support box 1 is fixed with a locking nut 102, and the limiter 4 is connected to the locking nut 102 by threads, that is, the limiter 4 can be inserted into the indexing hole 201 or withdrawn from the indexing hole 201 by rotating it. It should be understood that in other embodiments, of course, the limiter 4 can also be connected to the support box 1 in other ways, for example, the limiter 4 is penetrated on the support box 1, and a spring is fixedly connected between the outer end of the limiter 4 and the support box 1, and the limiter 4 is inserted into the indexing hole 201 under the action of the spring, and the limiter 4 can be pulled out of the indexing hole 201.

[0038] On the basis of the above, the storage tray 2 of this embodiment is fixedly connected with a knob 5, which is convenient for rotating the storage tray 2. Furthermore, the knob 5 is provided with an arrow mark 501 and a text mark 502, which are used to indicate the tightening direction of the spiral spring 3, so that the user knows in which direction to rotate the storage tray 2 to tighten the spiral spring 3, that is, in which direction to rotate to release the guide rope 6. It is easy to understand that the text mark 502 can be Chinese, English or set according to the country (or region) of use. Of course, the text mark 502 can also be multiple languages.

[0039] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
