Detailed implementation manner

[0027] To make the technical solutions of the present utility model clearer and more definite to those skilled in the art, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and the accompanying drawings. However, the implementation manners of the present utility model are not limited thereto.

[0028] As Figures 1 - 4 shown, the vehicle hook provided in this embodiment includes a panel 1, a first hook 2, and a second hook 3.

[0029] A cavity 11 is provided inside the panel 1, and the cavity 11 has an opening 12. A connection structure 13 is provided on the panel 1 for detachably connecting with the vehicle interior structure 6.

[0030] The connection structure 13 can be a snap fastener, a threaded connector, or other suitable quick connection structures, so that passengers can flexibly install or disassemble the vehicle hook at different positions inside the vehicle according to needs.

[0031] The first hook 2 is arranged inside the cavity 11 and can move relative to the opening 12 between a retracted state and an extended state. When the first hook 2 is in the retracted state, it extends into the cavity 11 from the opening 12; when in the extended state, it extends out from the opening 12 for hanging items.

[0032] The second hook 3 is connected to the first hook 2 and can be stored on the first hook 2. This design enables the second hook 3 to be stored when an additional hook is not needed, maintaining the overall simplicity of the vehicle hook; when more hooks are required, the second hook 3 can be taken out from the first hook 2 and connected to the first hook 2 for use.

[0033] In this embodiment, an elastic snap component 4 is provided between the inner wall of the cavity 11 and the first hook 2 for maintaining the retracted state or the extended state of the first hook 2. This design ensures that the first hook 2 can be stably fixed in both the extended state and the stored state, avoiding accidental extension or retraction.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first hook 2 has opposite first and second ends 21 and 22. The elastic snap component 4 is disposed between the first end 21 and the cavity 11.

[0035] This arrangement enables the elastic snap component 4 to effectively control the movement of the first hook 2 while not affecting the usage function of the second end 22. When a passenger presses the second end 22, the interaction between the first end 21 and the elastic snap component 4 can achieve the extension or retraction operation of the first hook 2.

[0036] In this embodiment, the opposite first and second ends 21 and 22 mean that these two ends are arranged oppositely. Regardless of whether the first hook 2 is in the extended state or the retracted state, the first end 21 is always located within the cavity 11; and when the first hook 2 is in the extended state, the second end 22 is located outside the panel 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, the elastic snap component 4 includes an elastic member 41 and a latching structure 42. The elastic member 41 can be a spring or other elastic material for providing the necessary resilience. The latching structure 42 includes a mating latching portion 421 and a slot portion 422.

[0038] Specifically, the elastic snap component 4 adopts a push-button snap structure. This structure allows the first hook 2 to be switched between the retracted state and the extended state through two pressing operations.

[0039] The usage process of the elastic snap component 4 is as follows:

[0040] Initial state: The first hook 2 is in the retracted state, and the latching portion 421 abuts against the slot portion 422.

[0041] First press: The passenger presses the first hook 2 inward, causing the latching portion 421 to disengage from the slot portion 422. Under the action of the elastic member 41, the first hook 2 will automatically pop out to the extended state.

[0042] Second press: The passenger presses the first hook 2, which is already in the extended state, inward again, and the latching portion 421 abuts against the slot portion 422 again. At this time, the elastic member 41 is in a compressed state, and the first hook 2 returns to the retracted state.

[0043] Configuring the elastic snap component 4 between the cavity 11 and the first hook 2 can ensure the stability of the first hook 2 during use and facilitate the passenger to change the state of the first hook 2.

[0044] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, in order to more clearly illustrate the cooperation between the latching portion 421 and the slot portion 422, Figure 4 is Figure 2 the inverted schematic diagram of A in

[0045] The elastic member 41 is a spring installed between the cavity 11 and the first end 21. This spring is also located inside the opening 12. The opening 12 is a channel structure extending into the cavity 11, and the spring is coaxially arranged with this channel structure and abuts against the first end 21.

[0046] As Figure 2 shown, the clamping portion 421 is a rod-shaped structure, its top is fixed to the top wall of the cavity 11, and its bottom end is hook-shaped. The bottom end of the clamping portion 421 is located inside the cavity of the first end 21. The clamping portion 421 as a whole has a certain elasticity and can be bent to one side under the action of an external force.

[0047] As Figure 2 shown, the clamping groove portion 422 is also located inside the cavity of the first end 21. The top surface of the clamping groove portion 422 is provided with an inclined rod-shaped structure 4221, the bottom surface is provided with an upward concave groove 4222, and a baffle 4223 is provided at intervals below the groove 4222.

[0048] As Figure 2 shown, when the first hook 2 is in the extended state, at this time, when the first hook 2 is pressed, the inclined rod-shaped structure 4221 abuts against the clamping portion 421, causing it to bend to one side. Continuously press the first hook 2 until the bottom end of the clamping portion 421 touches the baffle 4223 and abuts against the groove 4222. In this way, the first hook 2 is in the retracted state. At this time, the clamping portion 421 is stuck by the groove 4222 and remains in the bent state.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the first hook 2 is in the retracted state, press the first hook 2, the clamping portion 421 disengages from the groove 4222, release the first hook 2, the clamping portion 421 resets to the other side and completely disengages from the clamping groove portion 4222. Under the action of the elastic member 41, the first hook 2 extends outwards.

[0050] In this embodiment, the panel 1 has opposite front side 14 and back side 15. The opening 12 is provided on the front side 14, so that the first hook 2 can extend out from the cavity 11 to the front side 14, which is convenient for passengers to use. The connecting structure 13 is provided on the back side 15, which is convenient for detachable connection with the vehicle interior structure 6. The back side 15 is the side of the panel 1 close to the vehicle interior structure 6.

[0051] The connecting structure 13 can be a snap button or a snap groove, which cooperates with the corresponding connecting portion 61 on the vehicle interior structure 6. When the connecting structure 13 is a snap button, then the connecting portion 61 is a snap groove. When the connecting structure 13 is a snap groove, then the connecting portion 61 is a snap button. This design allows passengers to install or remove the vehicle hook at different positions in the vehicle according to needs, greatly improving the flexibility and practicality of the vehicle hook.

[0052] In one embodiment, the connecting structure 13 is a snap fastener, which is similar to the fastener used for fixing on clothes or bags. After the passenger presses the connecting structure 13 against the mating connecting part 61 (snap groove) on the surface of the vehicle interior structure 6, the vehicle hook can be installed on the vehicle interior structure 6. When it is necessary to remove the vehicle hook, just hold the panel 1 and pull it out.

[0053] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the inner wall of the opening 12 near its bottom end is provided with a first annular structure 81, and the outer wall of the first end 21 is provided with a second annular structure 82. These two annular structures (81 and 82) can abut against each other when the first hook 2 extends a certain distance, restricting the further extension of the first hook 2, so as to ensure the stability of the first hook 2 in the extended state.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first hook 2 is provided with a receiving groove 23 capable of accommodating the second hook 3. The size and shape of the receiving groove 23 match those of the second hook 3 to ensure that the second hook 3 can be stably received in the receiving groove 23 when not in use.

[0055] This design not only increases the functionality of the vehicle hook but also ensures the overall simplicity when no additional hook is needed. The passenger can take out or receive the second hook 3 according to needs, realizing the flexibility of using the vehicle hook.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first hook 2 includes a main body part 24, and the first end 21 and the second end 22 are respectively provided at both ends of the main body part 24. Specifically, the first end 21 is located at one end of the main body part 24 close to the inside of the cavity 11, and the second end 22 is located at the other end of the main body part 24 far from the cavity 11.

[0057] The main body part 24 and the second end 22 are both cylindrical, and the diameter of the second end 22 is larger than that of the main body part 24, so that after the second end 22 extends out, the passenger can hang an item on the main body part 24 without it falling off.

[0058] In one embodiment, the receiving groove 23 is provided at the bottom of the first hook 2, and their length directions are the same. Specifically, the receiving groove 23 is provided at the bottom of the main body part 24.

[0059] To facilitate taking out the second hook 2 from the receiving groove 23, the width of the receiving groove 23 is designed to be slightly wider than that of the second hook 3. This design enables the passenger to insert a finger into the gap between the receiving groove 23 and the second hook 3 to take out the second hook 3.

[0060] Meanwhile, to ensure that the receiving groove 23 can firmly clamp the second hook 3, the length of the receiving groove 23 is designed to be slightly shorter than that of the second hook 3. In addition, the second hook 3 as a whole has a certain elasticity. When the second hook 3 is fully inserted into the receiving groove 23, due to the slightly shorter length of the receiving groove 23, the second hook 3 will be slightly bent, generating an outward elastic force. This elastic force forms a frictional force with the inner wall of the receiving groove 23, thereby firmly fixing the second hook 3 within the receiving groove 23.

[0061] In another implementation, one end of the second hook 3 away from the second end portion 22 is hinged to any inner wall in the length direction of the receiving groove 23. At this time, the length of the receiving groove 23 is designed to be slightly longer than that of the second hook 3, allowing the second hook 3 to rotate into the receiving groove 23 when not in use.

[0062] In this embodiment, a locking component 5 is provided between the second hook 3 and the first hook 2. The locking component 5 can fix the second hook 3 to the first hook 2 when the second hook 3 is in a use state. After the second hook 3 is taken out from the receiving groove 23, the locking component 5 can be used to lock the second hook 3 to ensure the stability of the second hook 3 during use.

[0063] In one embodiment, the locking component 5 is in the form of a threaded connection member. The threaded connection member includes a screw, a hole, and an internal threaded hole (not shown in the drawings). Among them, the hole penetrates through the receiving groove 23; the second hook 3 has a relative fixed end and a hook end, and the internal threaded hole penetrates through the fixed end.

[0064] After taking out the second hook 3 from the receiving groove 23, insert its top end, that is, the fixed end, vertically into the receiving groove 23 and set it coaxially with the hole. At this time, insert the screw through the hole and the internal threaded hole in sequence, thereby fixing the second hook 3.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the first hook 2 is in a retracted state, its outer surface is flush with the outer surface of the opening 12. This design ensures the safety and aesthetics of the vehicle hook when not in use, avoids possible scratches or collisions to passengers caused by the protruding part, and at the same time ensures the cleanliness of the vehicle interior.

[0066] Specifically, when the clamping portion 421 abuts against the slot portion 422, the outer surface of the second end portion 22 of the first hook 2 is flush with the outer surface of the opening 12.

[0067] As Figure 2 shown, a ring-shaped embedding groove is provided at the bottom end of the opening 12. The size of the ring-shaped embedding groove is adapted to the second end portion 22, and is used to accommodate the second end portion 22 of the first hook 2 when it is in a retracted state. When the ring-shaped embedding groove accommodates the second end portion 22, their outer surfaces are flush.

[0068] This embodiment also provides a vehicle. The vehicle includes a vehicle interior structure 6 and the aforementioned vehicle hook, where the vehicle interior structure 6 is detachably connected to the vehicle hook.

[0069] This design makes the utilization of the vehicle interior space more flexible. Passengers can install or remove the vehicle hook at different positions inside the vehicle according to their needs, thus achieving personalized customization of the interior space and meeting the usage requirements in different scenarios.

[0070] In this embodiment, the vehicle interior structure 6 may include at least one of a door panel, a pillar, and a seat backrest (not shown in the drawings). These positions are common suspension points inside the vehicle and can meet the diverse needs of different passengers.

[0071] For example, the vehicle hook installed on the door panel can be used to hang small items such as shopping bags; the vehicle hook installed on the pillar can be used to hang clothes; and the vehicle hook installed on the seat backrest is convenient for rear passengers to use. This diverse installation option greatly improves the practicality of the vehicle hook.

[0072] In this embodiment, the vehicle interior structure 6 is provided with a connecting portion 61 adapted to the connecting structure 13 on the back side of the panel 1. These connecting portions 61 can be snap grooves pre-installed on the vehicle interior structure 6.

[0073] The design of the connecting portion 61 matches the connecting structure 13 of the panel 1, ensuring the stability and reliability of the installation of the vehicle hook. At the same time, this detachable design also facilitates the installation and removal of the vehicle hook, enabling passengers to flexibly arrange the interior space according to actual needs.

[0074] In one embodiment, the connecting structure 13 uses a snap fastener, and the connecting portion 61 uses a snap groove adapted to the snap fastener.

[0075] The snap fastener is in a convex shape and can be made of plastic or metal. Correspondingly, snap grooves are pre-set on the vehicle interior structure 6 (such as a door panel, a pillar, or a seat backrest). The size and shape of these snap grooves match the snap fasteners on the back side of the panel 1.

[0076] When installing the vehicle hook, just align the snap fastener on the back side of the panel 1 with the snap groove on the vehicle interior structure 6 and gently push. You can hear a "click" sound, indicating that the snap fastener has been snapped into the snap groove and the installation is complete.

[0077] In this embodiment, the snap fastener can be directly molded as a part of the panel 1, or can be fixed on the panel 1 by hot pressing or bonding later. The snap grooves on the vehicle interior structure 6 can be directly formed during the vehicle manufacturing process or installed as a retrofit part at a designated position.

[0078] As mentioned above, the above are only further embodiments of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution and concept of the present utility model, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, which all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.
