Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicles, and particularly to a suspended roof rack and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] A roof rack is a structure installed on the roof of a vehicle to provide the vehicle owner with more storage space. Existing roof racks can be mainly divided into two categories: suspended roof racks and flush-mounted roof racks. The flush-mounted roof rack mainly consists of two end caps and a middle aluminum rod, and the whole roof rack is directly mounted flush with the roof. Since the flush-mounted roof rack is flush with the whole roof, it will affect the area of the vehicle's sunroof, and thus affect the light transmittance inside the vehicle. The suspended roof rack mainly includes an aluminum rod, the two ends of which are installed on the roof of the vehicle and the middle part is suspended. The two ends of the aluminum rod can be covered with decorative covers. However, there is a step difference between the decorative cover and the aluminum rod under this assembly structure, which will affect the aesthetic appearance.

[0003] Therefore, the roof racks in the prior art cannot meet the requirements of both aesthetics and non-interference with the sunroof area at the same time. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a suspended roof rack and a vehicle that can meet the requirements of both aesthetics and non-interference with the sunroof area at the same time.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A suspended roof rack, the suspended roof rack includes a main longitudinal rod and two decorative components. The main longitudinal rod extends along the width direction of the vehicle and has cavities at both ends thereof. The two decorative components are respectively connected to both ends of the main longitudinal rod. Wherein, each decorative component includes a decorative cover and a substrate. The decorative cover is configured such that one end and the bottom are both open. The decorative cover has a first sunk platform at the open end, and the first sunk platform extends into the cavity. The outer shape of the decorative cover is in smooth transition with the outer shape of the main longitudinal rod. The substrate is fixed inside the decorative cover, and one end of the substrate extends into the cavity and is fixedly connected to the main longitudinal rod. The bottom of the substrate is fixedly connected to the top of the vehicle body.

[0007] It can be understood that the suspended roof rack is connected by docking the main longitudinal rod with the decorative cover. A substrate is fixedly arranged inside the decorative cover, and the substrate is inserted into the main longitudinal rod and fixedly connected to the main longitudinal rod, thereby providing a new structure of the suspended roof rack. This structure avoids the step difference in shape by docking the decorative cover with the main longitudinal rod, can improve the aesthetic appearance, and still maintains the suspended setting of the main longitudinal rod. Therefore, it will not affect the area of the vehicle's sunroof.

[0008] In one embodiment, a sealant is provided at the joint between the decorative cover and the main longitudinal rod.

[0009] It is understandable that by applying sealant to the seam between the decorative cover and the main longitudinal rod, a sealed connection between the two can be ensured, thereby preventing rainwater from entering the interior of the suspended luggage rack and extending the service life of the suspended luggage rack.

[0010] In one of the embodiments, convex ribs are formed on both sides of the bottom of the main longitudinal rod along the width direction thereof, and the convex ribs extend along the length direction of the main longitudinal rod.

[0011] It can be understood that the structural strength of the main longitudinal rod can be enhanced by forming ribs at the bottom of the main longitudinal rod.

[0012] In one of the embodiments, a notch is provided at the bottom of one end of the main longitudinal rod that is connected to the base plate, the notch is located between the two convex ribs, and the base plate is provided with a reinforcing boss that is embedded in the notch and protrudes downward.

[0013] It can be understood that at the joint between the main longitudinal rod and the base plate, a notch is provided between the two ribs of the main longitudinal rod, and the base plate is provided with a reinforcing boss embedded in the notch. The setting of the reinforcing boss can enhance the strength of the joint between the main longitudinal rod and the base plate, so that the suspended luggage rack is not easily deformed at the joint.

[0014] In one embodiment, the substrate includes a bottom plate, two side plates and a plurality of reinforcing ribs, the two side plates are located on both sides of the bottom plate in a width direction, and the plurality of reinforcing ribs are arranged in a space enclosed by the bottom plate and the two side plates.

[0015] It can be understood that the base plate includes a bottom plate, two side plates and a plurality of reinforcing ribs, presenting a multi-rib three-dimensional structure. The overall structural strength is relatively high, which is conducive to enhancing the connection stability of the overall structure of the suspended luggage rack.

[0016] In one embodiment, a first connecting boss protruding downward is formed inside the decorative cover, and a second recessed platform is formed at the bottom surface of the bottom plate of the substrate. The top surface of the second recessed platform is in contact with the bottom surface of the first connecting boss and is connected by a first fastener.

[0017] It is understandable that the base plate and the decorative cover are connected by fasteners, so they can be easily assembled, and the strength of the fastener connection can be made higher by connecting the boss and the countersunk platform.

[0018] In one of the embodiments, a plurality of second connection bosses protruding downward are formed on the bottom surface of the bottom plate of the base plate, and the second connection bosses cooperate with the top of the vehicle body and are connected via second fasteners.

[0019] In one embodiment, the portion of the base plate extending into the main longitudinal rod is connected to the main longitudinal rod via a third fastener.

[0020] In one embodiment, the third fastener is located between the two ribs, and the bottom of the projection of the third fastener on the ribs along the transverse direction of the suspended luggage rack does not exceed the ribs.

[0021] It can be understood that inserting the third fastener from the bottom of the main longitudinal rod facilitates assembly. At the same time, the height of the ribs can cover the third fastener, making the third fastener not easily observable, which is beneficial to improving the aesthetics of the appearance.

[0022] The present application also provides the following technical solution:

[0023] A vehicle includes the suspended luggage rack according to any one of the above.

[0024] It can be understood that the vehicle includes the above-mentioned suspended luggage rack. The docking method of the luggage rack with the main longitudinal rod through the decorative cover avoids the step difference in styling, can improve the styling aesthetics, and still maintains the suspended setting of the main longitudinal rod, so it will not affect the area of the vehicle's sunroof.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the suspended luggage rack of the present application is connected by docking the main longitudinal rod with the decorative cover. A substrate is fixedly arranged inside the decorative cover, and the substrate is inserted into the main longitudinal rod and fixedly connected to the main longitudinal rod, thereby providing a new structure of the suspended luggage rack. This structure avoids the step difference in styling by docking the decorative cover with the main longitudinal rod, can improve the styling aesthetics, and still maintains the suspended setting of the main longitudinal rod, so it will not affect the area of the vehicle's sunroof.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , this application provides a suspended luggage rack 100, which can be used for tying and fixing items and is a structure that provides more storage space for vehicle owners. The suspended luggage rack 100 is provided on the top of the vehicle body.

[0040] Specifically, the suspended luggage rack 100 includes a main longitudinal rod 110 and two decorative components. The main longitudinal rod 110 extends along the width direction of the vehicle and has cavities at both ends. Here, the main longitudinal rod 110 can be made of extruded aluminum rod material. The two decorative components are respectively connected to both ends of the main longitudinal rod 110. Each decorative component includes a decorative cover 120 and a substrate 130. As Figure 4 shown, the decorative cover 120 is configured to have openings at one end and the bottom. The decorative cover 120 has a first sunk platform 122 at the opening end, and the first sunk platform 122 extends into the cavity (see Figure 3 ), and the outer shape of the decorative cover 120 smoothly transitions with the outer shape of the main longitudinal rod 110. The substrate 130 is fixed inside the decorative cover 120, and one end of the substrate 130 extends into the cavity and is fixedly connected to the main longitudinal rod 110. The bottom of the substrate 130 is fixedly connected to the top of the vehicle body. When the suspended luggage rack 100 is installed on the top of the vehicle body, there is a certain distance between the main longitudinal rod 110 and the top of the vehicle body, that is, it is suspended.

[0041] It can be understood that the suspended luggage rack 100 is connected by docking the main longitudinal rod 110 with the decorative cover 120. A substrate 130 is fixedly arranged inside the decorative cover 120. The substrate 130 is inserted into the main longitudinal rod 110 and fixedly connected to the main longitudinal rod 110, thus providing a new structure of the suspended luggage rack 100. This structure avoids the step difference in shape by docking the decorative cover 120 with the main longitudinal rod 110, can improve the aesthetic appearance, and still maintains the suspended setting of the main longitudinal rod 110, so it will not affect the area of the vehicle sunroof.

[0042] In one embodiment, a sealant is also provided at the joint seam 124 (see Figure 3 ) between the decorative cover 120 and the main longitudinal rod 110 to seal the joint seam 124 with this sealant. Here, the sealant generally uses soft glue.

[0043] In this embodiment, coating the sealant at the joint seam 124 between the decorative cover 120 and the main longitudinal rod 110 can ensure their sealed connection, prevent rainwater from entering the inside of the suspended luggage rack 100, and can extend the service life of the suspended luggage rack 100.

[0044] In one embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, on both sides of the bottom of the main longitudinal rod 110 along its width direction, ribs 112 are formed, and the ribs 112 extend along the length direction of the main longitudinal rod 110. A notch 114 is provided at the bottom of one end of the main longitudinal rod 110 where it docks with the substrate 130. The notch 114 is located between the two ribs 112, and the substrate 130 is provided with a reinforcing boss 131 that is embedded in the notch 114 and protrudes downward.

[0045] In this embodiment, forming the ribs 112 at the bottom of the main longitudinal rod 110 can strengthen its own structural strength. Further, at the docking portion of the main longitudinal rod 110 and the substrate 130, a notch 114 is provided between the two ribs 112 of the main longitudinal rod 110, and the substrate 130 is provided with a reinforcing boss 131 that is embedded in the notch 114. By providing the reinforcing boss 131, the strength of the docking portion of the main longitudinal rod 110 and the substrate 130 can be strengthened, so that the suspended luggage rack 100 is not easily deformed at the splicing portion.

[0046] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the substrate 130 includes a bottom plate 132, two side plates 133, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs 134. The two side plates 133 are located on both sides of the bottom plate 132 in the width direction, and the plurality of reinforcing ribs 134 are arranged in the space surrounded by the bottom plate 132 and the two side plates 133. Figure 2 In the shown embodiment, the plurality of reinforcing ribs 134 are vertical plates that intersect horizontally and vertically. In other embodiments not shown, the plurality of reinforcing ribs 134 can also be in other forms, such as triangular plates, etc., which are not limited here.

[0047] In this embodiment, the substrate 130 includes a bottom plate 132, two side plates 133, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs 134, presenting a multi-rib three-dimensional structure. The overall structural strength is relatively high, which is beneficial to enhancing the connection stability of the overall structure of the suspended luggage rack 100.

[0048] In one embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, a first connecting boss 126 protruding downward is formed inside the decorative cover 120. A second sunk platform 135 is formed at the bottom surface of the bottom plate 132 of the substrate 130. The top surface of the second sunk platform 135 is attached to the bottom surface of the first connecting boss 126 and connected by a first fastener 140. That is, the first fastener 140 passes through the mounting holes at the first connecting boss 126 and the second sunk platform 135 and then connects the decorative cover 120 and the substrate 130. Here, a plurality of first fasteners 140 can be arranged along the length direction of the main longitudinal rod 110. A plurality of second connecting bosses 136 protruding downward are also formed at the bottom surface of the bottom plate 132 of the substrate 130. The second connecting bosses 136 cooperate with the top of the vehicle body and are connected by second fasteners 150. A structure matching the second connecting boss 136, such as a sunk platform, is provided at the top of the vehicle body. After the second fastener 150 passes through the structure and the mounting holes of the second connecting boss 136, the entire suspended luggage rack 100 is installed at the vehicle body. Similarly, a plurality of second fasteners 150 can be arranged along the length direction of the main longitudinal rod 110 here. The part of the substrate 130 extending into the main longitudinal rod 110 is connected to the main longitudinal rod 110 by a third fastener 160. The third fastener 160 is located between two ribbed protrusions 112, and the bottom of the projection of the third fastener 160 at the ribbed protrusion 112 along the transverse direction of the suspended luggage rack 100 does not exceed the ribbed protrusion 112. That is to say, the third fastener 160 is not easily visible from the side of the vehicle. Similarly, a plurality of third fasteners 160 can also be arranged along the length direction of the main longitudinal rod 110 here. The first fastener 140, the second fastener 150, and the third fastener 160 can be bolts, riveting structures, etc. A spacer can also be provided between the second connecting boss 136 of the substrate 130 and the vehicle body, so as to play a role in sealing and protection.

[0049] In this embodiment, the substrate 130 is connected to the decorative cover 120, the substrate 130 is connected to the main longitudinal rod 110, and the substrate 130 is connected to the vehicle body by fasteners, so the assembly can be facilitated. And the strength of the fastener connection can be higher through the docking method of the boss and the sunk platform.

[0050] Furthermore, by arranging a plurality of fasteners along the length direction of the main longitudinal rod 110, each component of the suspended luggage rack 100 can be better fixed.

[0051] Furthermore, inserting the third fastener 160 from the bottom of the main longitudinal rod 110 facilitates assembly. At the same time, the height of the rib 112 can cover the third fastener 160, making the third fastener 160 not easily observable, which is beneficial to improving the aesthetic appearance.

[0052] An embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle, including the suspended luggage rack 100 in any of the above embodiments. After the suspended luggage rack 100 is installed on the vehicle body, there is a spacing between the main longitudinal rod 110 and the top of the vehicle body in the vertical direction of the vehicle. Both ends of the suspended luggage rack 100 are connected to the vehicle body through the base plate 130. Specifically, a second connecting boss 136 may be provided at the base plate 130, and a counterbore matching the second connecting boss 136 is provided on the vehicle body, and then they are connected through the third fastener 160. Here, the suspended luggage rack 100 avoids the step difference in styling by docking with the main longitudinal rod 110 through the decorative cover 120, which can improve the styling aesthetics and still maintain the suspended setting of the main longitudinal rod 110, so it will not affect the area of the vehicle sunroof.

[0053] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0054] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
