Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of spare tire fixation, and particularly to a vehicle spare tire installation structure. Background Art

[0002] In order to replace a damaged tire of a vehicle in time, some vehicles will prepare a spare tire in advance. Different from cars and other vehicles, a minibus does not have a separate trunk separated from the space where the seats are located, and there is no installation space for the spare tire under the bottom of some minibuses. Therefore, the spare tire of such minibuses is mostly directly placed on the floor inside the vehicle body. Since the spare tire is not fixed, it is easy to be blocked by the spare tire when passengers pass by or place, take, or move items around the spare tire, and there is also a risk that the spare tire slides along the vehicle body and collides with the surrounding seats, items, or passengers during emergency braking.

[0003] At present, although there is a fixing bracket for connecting the spare tire to the vehicle body, as shown in the "Spare Tire Fixing Bracket and Its Vehicle" disclosed in the application number CN202322867999.7, a body, a first installation part, and a second installation part are provided. The body has a first direction and a second direction that are orthogonal to each other. The first installation part is arranged on one side of the body in the first direction, the first installation part extends in the second direction, and the first installation part is adapted to be connected to the vehicle frame. The second installation part is arranged on the other side of the body in the first direction, the second installation part extends in the second direction, and the second installation part is adapted to be connected to the spare tire.

[0004] Although the above fixing bracket can connect the spare tire to the vehicle frame, when used on a minibus, the spare tire and the fixing bracket are relatively heavy. If directly fixed to the vehicle body through the fixing bracket, it is easy to cause the vehicle body to deform. And there is no suitable position on the outer wall of the minibus body to fix the spare tire. Therefore, the spare tire can still only be fixed inside the vehicle body. Usually, there are more seats in the minibus or the seats are removed and mainly used for transporting a small amount of items. At this time, the presence of the spare tire and the fixing bracket will undoubtedly occupy a part of the interior space of the vehicle, affecting the comfort of passengers and the placement of items inside the vehicle. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a vehicle spare tire installation structure to fix the spare tire and improve the space utilization rate inside the vehicle at the same time.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: A vehicle spare tire installation structure includes a fixing component, a pressing plate, and a base. The pressing plate is detachably connected to the fixing component. The fixing component is L-shaped. A spare tire installation space is formed between the pressing plate and the fixing component. The base is connected to the horizontal part of the fixing component and is used to support the horizontal part of the fixing component.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this scheme are as follows:

[0008] 1. The horizontal part of the fixing component in this solution and the base form a "factory" - shaped structure. When fixing the spare tire, the spare tire is placed on the horizontal part of the fixing component, and at this time, the base can support the horizontal part of the fixing component. There is a tire bulge at the position of the van's carriage floor above the rear wheels. Since the tire bulge is 150 - 200 mm higher than the van's carriage floor, the space above the tire bulge is difficult to be utilized. In this solution, since the base is lower than the fixing component, when the bottom of the base abuts against the van's carriage floor, the fixing component is higher than the van's carriage floor. Therefore, the installation structure in this solution can be set above the tire bulge to utilize the space above the tire, thereby improving the utilization rate of the interior space of the van.

[0009] 2. The tire in this solution is vertically fixed on the fixing component and close to the van's body, without additionally occupying the space of the carriage floor and without blocking the placement of passengers and surrounding items.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a support plate and a vertical plate distributed in an L - shape. The vertical plate is fixed to the support plate, and the pressing plate is opposite to the vertical plate.

[0011] The beneficial effect of this solution is that the vertical plate and the pressing plate in this solution are respectively located on both sides of the tire, which can better fix the tire.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixing component further includes a wheel baffle. The wheel baffle is L - shaped, and the horizontal part of the wheel baffle is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical plate.

[0013] The beneficial effect of this solution is that there are still protrusions on the inner wall of the body of some vans, so that after the fixing unit is installed on the tire bulge, it still cannot be attached to the body, making the vertical plate prone to shaking during vehicle driving, thus driving the spare tire to shake and causing friction between the spare tire and the support plate. The wheel baffle in this solution can abut against the body, positioning the wheel baffle and the vertical plate through the body to prevent the vertical plate from shaking.

[0014] Furthermore, there is a pull rod between the pressing plate and the wheel baffle, and at least one of the pressing plate and the wheel baffle is detachably connected to the pull rod.

[0015] The beneficial effect of this solution is that by passing the pull rod through the middle of the wheel hub, the pressing plate and the wheel baffle can be quickly connected, thus quickly fixing the tire, and the operation is simple.

[0016] Furthermore, a strengthening column is provided on the side of the vertical plate away from the pressing plate, and the strengthening column is attached to the vertical plate.

[0017] The beneficial effect of this solution is that the strengthening column can support the vertical plate to prevent the vertical plate from deforming.

[0018] Furthermore, the width of the wheel baffle is greater than the width of the vertical plate.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: When the spare tire is fixed, the wheel baffle in this solution abuts against the spare tire. And since the wheel baffle is located between the spare tire and the vehicle body, it can prevent the spare tire from colliding with the vehicle body during the turning or emergency braking of the minivan, thus avoiding the deformation of the vehicle body.

[0020] Furthermore, the base includes a horizontal plate and a diagonal brace plate. The horizontal plate is located below the support plate and is used to support the support plate; the upper end of the diagonal brace plate is connected to the horizontal plate, and the lower end inclines outwards.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: The horizontal plate is in contact with the support plate, and the contact area is larger, which can better support the support plate. Therefore, when fixing the spare tire, it can prevent the support plate from deforming under the weight of the spare tire.

[0022] Furthermore, the base also includes a vertical brace plate which is Z-shaped. The upper end of the vertical brace plate is connected to the horizontal plate and is used to support the horizontal plate. The connection positions of the vertical brace plate and the diagonal brace plate with the horizontal plate are respectively located on the adjacent side walls of the horizontal plate.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: The vertical brace plate and the diagonal brace plate can support the horizontal plate from the adjacent two sides of the horizontal plate, preventing the horizontal plate from deforming, enabling the horizontal plate to maintain a good supporting effect on the support plate, thus preventing the support plate from deforming and better supporting the spare tire.

[0024] Furthermore, an installation plate is fixed at the bottom of the diagonal brace plate, and the installation plate is horizontal.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: The installation plate in this solution is in contact with the floor of the minivan's carriage, facilitating fixation with the carriage floor through fasteners such as bolts. Therefore, the diagonal brace plate in this solution will not move horizontally and can always support the horizontal plate.

[0026] Furthermore, the base also includes an L-shaped limiting plate. The upper end of the limiting plate is connected to the horizontal plate and is used to support the horizontal plate.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: The limiting plate supports the horizontal plate from the other side of the horizontal plate, further improving the supporting effect on the horizontal plate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] The vertical brace plate 3 is located on the front side of the horizontal plate 1. The vertical brace plate 3 is Z-shaped. The horizontal part at the upper end of the vertical brace plate 3 is attached to and welded to the horizontal plate 1. The horizontal part at the lower end of the vertical brace plate 3 abuts against the carriage floor, and two fixing holes are also provided on the horizontal part at the lower end of the vertical brace plate 3.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 , the limiting plate 4 is located on the right side of the horizontal plate 1. The limiting plate 4 is L-shaped. The upper end of the limiting plate 4 is integrally formed with the horizontal plate 1. The horizontal part at the lower end of the limiting plate 4 is attached to the tire bulge, and two fixing holes are also provided on the horizontal part at the lower end of the limiting plate 4.

[0038] The fixing component includes a support plate 5, a vertical plate 9, and a wheel baffle 6. The vertical plate 9 is perpendicular to the support plate 5 and integrally formed with the support plate 5. The support plate 5 is attached to and welded to the horizontal plate 1. The wheel baffle 6 is L-shaped. The horizontal part of the wheel baffle 6 is welded to the top of the vertical plate 9. The width of the wheel baffle 6 is greater than the width of the vertical plate 9.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 , the vertical part of the wheel baffle 6 is located on the right side of the vertical plate 9. The pressing plate 7 is opposite to the vertical part of the wheel baffle 6, and a pull rod 8 is provided between the pressing plate 7 and the vertical part of the wheel baffle 6. Threads are provided at both ends of the pull rod 8. The left end of the pull rod 8 penetrates through the vertical part of the wheel baffle 6, and the right end penetrates through the pressing plate 7. An installation space is formed between the pressing plate 7 and the vertical part of the wheel baffle 6.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 4, on the side of the vertical plate 9 away from the vertical plate 9, there are three reinforcing columns 91. The three reinforcing columns 91 are arranged in sequence along the width direction of the vertical plate 9. In this embodiment, the top of the reinforcing column 91 abuts against the horizontal part of the wheel baffle 6 and is welded and fixed. The bottom of the reinforcing column 91 abuts against the horizontal plate 1 and is welded and fixed. At this time, the reinforcing column 91 abuts against the vertical plate 9 to support the vertical plate 9.

[0041] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0042] When fixing the spare tire, first fix the installation structure in the minivan. When fixing, place the horizontal plate 1 on the tire bulge of the minivan, and make the reinforcing column 91 face the vehicle body, the wheel baffle 6 abut against the vehicle body, and the limiting plate 4 stick to the other side of the tire bulge. At this time, the lower end of the vertical support plate 3 and the mounting plate 21 are in contact with the carriage floor. Pass the bolts through the fixing holes on the lower end of the vertical support plate 3 and the mounting plate 21 to fix the lower end of the vertical support plate 3 and the mounting plate 21 on the carriage floor; pass the bolts through the fixing holes on the limiting plate 4 to connect the limiting plate 4 with the tire bulge, and fix the horizontal plate 1 through the vertical support plate 3, the inclined support plate 2 and the limiting plate 4, and support the vertical plate 9 through the horizontal plate 1.

[0043] Then remove the pull rod 8, place the spare tire vertically in the installation space, make the hub of the spare tire abut against the wheel baffle 6, then make the pressing plate 7 abut against the side of the spare tire away from the wheel baffle 6, and pass the pull rod 8 through the pressing plate 7, the hub and the wheel baffle 6, and tighten the nuts at both ends of the pull rod 8 to connect the pressing plate 7 and the wheel baffle 6 through the pull rod 8 to fix the spare tire.

[0044] In actual implementation, the heights of the vertical plate 9, the vertical support plate 3, the inclined support plate 2 and the wheel baffle 6 are determined according to the diameters of the tire bulge and the wheel: when the horizontal plate 1 is placed on the tire bulge, the lower end of the vertical support plate 3 and the mounting plate 21 are in contact with the carriage floor, the lower end of the limiting plate 4 is in contact with the tire bulge, and the bottom of the spare tire falls on the support plate 5 when the pull rod 8 passes through the hub.
