[0043] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0044] It should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by "front", "rear", "inner", "outer", "upper", "lower", etc. in this embodiment is based on the orientation of the vehicle itself. Among them, the vehicle head represents "front", the vehicle tail represents "rear", the vehicle top represents "upper", the vehicle bottom represents "lower", the "inner" side refers to the side facing the inside of the cab, and the "outer" side refers to the side facing the outside of the cab.

[0045] In addition, the front-rear direction of the vehicle body defined in the embodiments of the present utility model refers to the front-rear direction in the forward direction during the driving of the vehicle, the left-right direction of the vehicle body refers to the left-right direction in the forward direction during the driving of the vehicle, and the up-down direction of the vehicle body refers to the up-down direction in the forward direction during the driving of the vehicle.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 together, and now the pickup truck roof extension structure provided by the present utility model will be described. The pickup truck roof extension structure includes a sliding frame 1 and a bracket 2. The front end of the sliding frame 1 extends forward above the pickup truck roof 4; the bracket 2 is connected to the sliding frame 1 and is used to support the sliding frame 1; the bracket 2 is arranged on the top walls of both sides of the pickup truck carriage 5 and can slide on the top wall along the front-rear direction of the vehicle body.

[0047] The sliding frame 1 is a rectangular frame structure and can be formed by welding pipe fittings with light weight and high hardness. To ensure driving safety, neither side of the sliding frame 1 extends beyond the vehicle roof 4. The sliding frame 1 can be directly slidably connected to the vehicle roof 4. For example, tracks are provided on the vehicle roof 4, and the sliding frame 1 is slidably arranged on the tracks. The sliding frame 1 can also be slidably connected to the vehicle roof 4 through an intermediate member. For example, a storage rack is fixedly arranged on the vehicle roof 4, and the sliding frame 1 is slidably connected to the storage rack. The sliding frame 1 can be slid manually or electrically.

[0048] In addition to being directly or indirectly slidably connected to the vehicle roof 4 at the front end, the sliding frame 1 is supported by a bracket 2, and the bracket 2 is arranged on the top wall of the compartment 5 of the vehicle body, so that the sliding frame 1 can be supported by the compartment wall, further improving the stability of the sliding frame 1. In addition, the bracket 2 is arranged on the top wall of the compartment 5 of the vehicle body, without occupying additional space in the compartment 5. The bracket 2 lifts the sliding frame 1 without affecting the normal loading of the compartment 5.

[0049] Specifically, the sliding frame 1 has a first limit state and a second limit state. In the first limit state, most of the sliding frame 1 is located above the vehicle roof 4, and the bracket 2 is close to the front end of the compartment 5. As Figure 3 shown, the sliding frame 1 and the bracket 2 do not occupy the upper space of the compartment 5 and do not affect the normal loading of the compartment 5. In the second limit state, most of the sliding frame 1 is located directly above the compartment 5. As Figure 4 shown, the vehicle roof 4 and the unfolded sliding frame 1 can be used for placing items. Outdoor facilities such as a roof tent, tables and chairs, and a barbecue grill can be set up. Long and slender items such as a kayak or a bicycle can also be placed for transportation.

[0050] Compared with the prior art, for the pickup truck roof extension structure provided by the present utility model, the front end of the sliding frame 1 extends forward above the pickup truck roof 4, and the sliding frame 1 is supported by the bracket 2, so that the sliding frame 1 is coherent with the vehicle roof 4. The sliding frame 1 and the vehicle roof 4 are combined to form a support platform together, increasing the utilization space of the vehicle roof 4 and providing a site for setting up a roof tent and arranging outdoor facilities such as tables and chairs and a barbecue grill on the vehicle roof 4. Moreover, the bracket 2 and the sliding frame 1 can slide in the front-back direction of the vehicle body to adjust the moving position of the sliding frame 1, and the storage area of the sliding frame 1 can be increased or decreased accordingly, improving the usage diversity of the pickup truck.

[0051] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned bracket 2 can adopt the structures as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown. Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5, the bracket 2 includes a top support portion 21 and leg portions 22. The top support portion 21 is connected to the sliding frame 1 and is used to support the sliding frame 1; the leg portions 22 cross the top support portion 21 in the left - right direction of the vehicle body and are slidably arranged on the top wall of the compartment in the front - rear direction of the vehicle body.

[0052] Preferably, the top support portion 21 supports on the bottom surface of the tail of the sliding frame 1. In the first extreme state, both the top support portion 21 and the tail of the sliding frame 1 can be close to the front end of the compartment 5 without affecting the loading of the compartment 5.

[0053] The leg portions 22 are used to support the top support portion 21 and to achieve the sliding connection with the top wall of the compartment. The leg portions 22 can be formed by welding pipe fittings with light weight and high hardness, which can not only reduce the weight of the whole vehicle but also ensure the support strength.

[0054] In some embodiments, the above - mentioned bracket 2 and the top wall of the compartment can adopt the structure as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 . Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 . Guide rails 51 are provided on both sides of the top wall of the compartment, and the leg portions 22 are slidably arranged on the guide rails 51; the leg portions 22 are connected with a fastening structure 23, and the fastening structure 23 can be tightly connected with the guide rails 51 to locate the sliding position of the leg portions 22.

[0055] The guide rails 51 are used to guide and limit the sliding of the bracket 2. Compared with the direct sliding of the leg portions 22 on the top wall of the compartment, after adding the guide rails 51, the leg portions 22 can be limited in the up - down direction and the left - right direction of the vehicle body to prevent the leg portions 22 from running off when sliding.

[0056] It should be noted that the sliding friction force between the leg portions 22 and the guide rails 51 is relatively large, and the leg portions 22 can only slide under the condition of manual pushing or electric driving. Without external force or with slight external force, it is not enough to overcome the friction between the leg portions 22 and the guide rails 51.

[0057] The fastening structure 23 is used to locate the sliding position of the leg portions 22. When the leg portions 22 move to the appropriate position, by adjusting the fastening structure 23, the fastening structure 23 can be tightly connected with the guide rails 51 to position the leg portions 22. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the leg portions 22 again, adjust the fastening structure 23 to make the fastening structure 23 lose the tight connection with the guide rails 51, so that the leg portions 22 can slide under the condition of manual pushing or electric driving.

[0058] The fastening structure 23 can be at least one of a plug - in structure, a screw - connection structure, and an abutting structure. The specific structure of the fastening structure 23 is not limited in this embodiment, as long as it can be tightly connected with the guide rails 51.

[0059] In some embodiments, the above - mentioned fastening structure 23 can adopt the structure as shown in Figure 6and Figure 7 the structure shown in, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the fastening structure 23 includes a sleeve 231, a boss 232 and a fastener 233. The sleeve 231 is sleeved on the leg portion 22; the boss 232 is connected to the outer periphery of the sleeve 231; the fastener 233 is threadedly connected to the boss 232; the fastener 233 is used to abut against the top surface of the guide rail 51 to press the sleeve 231 tightly against the top surface of the guide rail 51.

[0060] The above-mentioned fastening structure 23 is connected to each leg of the leg portion 22. Specifically, the sleeve 231 is sleeved on the bottom of the leg and abuts against the top surface of the guide rail 51. The boss 232 and the fastener 233 are located outside the sleeve 231. The boss 232 can abut against the guide rail 51 or there can be a gap.

[0061] The fastener 233 is threadedly connected to the boss 232. By tightening the fastener 233, the fastener 233 can be tightly abutted against the guide rail 51, and the sleeve 231 can be driven to be tightly abutted against the guide rail 51, thereby increasing the friction between the sleeve 231 and the guide rail 51 and between the fastener 233 and the guide rail 51 to limit the movement of the leg portion 22.

[0062] The fastening structure 23 realizes the limit of the leg portion 22 by means of frictional abutment. Compared with the plug-in structure and the screw connection structure, there is no need to open holes on the guide rail 51, which simplifies the structure, and the sleeve 231 is directly sleeved on the leg portion 22, which is convenient for assembling the fastening structure 23.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 6 , on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, a guide groove 511 is provided on the top surface of the guide rail 51, and a limiting plate 234 is provided at the bottom of the sleeve 231, and the limiting plate 234 is located in the guide groove 511.

[0064] The guide groove 511 penetrates along the length direction, and the limiting plate 234 slides in the guide groove 511. The limiting plate 234 and the guide groove 511 cooperate together to further limit the leg portion 22 in the up-and-down direction and the left-and-right direction of the vehicle body to prevent the leg portion 22 from running off when sliding.

[0065] Preferably, both the boss 232 and the fastener 233 are located in the guide groove 511, and the fastener 233 abuts against the bottom wall of the guide groove 511 by friction.

[0066] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned leg portion 22 can adopt the structure as Figure 5 shown in, see Figure 5 , the leg portion 22 includes a front U-shaped leg 221 and a rear U-shaped leg 222. The top support portion 21 includes at least two top support blocks 211 spaced apart in the left-and-right direction of the vehicle body.

[0067] The front U-shaped support leg 221 and the rear U-shaped support leg 222 are spaced apart in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body. The transverse part of the front U-shaped support leg 221 crosses the top support part 21, and the two vertical parts of the front U-shaped support leg 221 are respectively connected to the guide rails 51 on the top walls of the two sides of the compartment. The transverse part of the rear U-shaped support leg 222 crosses the top support part 21, and the two vertical parts of the rear U-shaped support leg 222 are respectively connected to the guide rails 51 on the top walls of the two sides of the compartment.

[0068] The two vertical parts of the rear U-shaped support leg 222 also extend in a curved manner, specifically, they are bent backward from top to bottom, so that the distance between the upper ends of the front U-shaped support leg 221 and the rear U-shaped support leg 222 is small, and the distance between the lower ends is large. The two are distributed in a trapezoid-like shape, which can improve the overall stability of the bracket 2.

[0069] The bracket 2 includes two top support blocks 211, a front U-shaped support leg 221, and a rear U-shaped support leg 222, so that the structure of the bracket 2 is simple and its shape is stable, and it can stably support the sliding frame 1.

[0070] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned top support part 21 can adopt the structure as Figure 5 shown, see Figure 5 , a card slot 212 is provided on the top surface of each top support block 211; a cross beam 11 is provided on the bottom surface of the sliding frame 1, and the cross beam 11 is clamped in the card slot 212.

[0071] The card slot 212 penetrates in the left-right direction of the vehicle body. The cross beam 11 is in clearance fit with the card slot 212, that is, there is a distance between the front and rear surfaces of the cross beam 11 and the groove side walls of the card slot 212. The two are not rigidly fixed, and the tolerance of the sliding angle between the sliding frame 1 and the bracket 2 can be realized.

[0072] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned pickup truck roof fixing structure further includes a fixing frame 3, and the fixing frame 3 is arranged on the pickup truck roof 4; the sliding frame 1 is slidably connected to the fixing frame 3.

[0073] The fixing frame 3 is a rectangular frame structure, and it can be formed by welding pipe fittings with light weight and strong hardness. The occupied area of the fixing frame 3 is preferably smaller than the surface area of the roof 4. In particular, the left and right sides of the fixing frame 3 do not extend beyond the roof 4 to ensure driving safety. The fixing frame 3 is fixedly arranged on the roof 4, and it can be erected on the roof rack 41 of the roof, or directly welded and fixed on the roof 4.

[0074] The sliding frame 1 is connected to the fixing frame 3 in a sliding manner. On the one hand, the fixing frame 3 provides further support for the sliding frame 1 and simplifies the connection method, facilitating the assembly of the sliding frame 1; on the other hand, when switching between the second limit state and the first limit state, the sliding frame 1 only slides back and forth, without a large movement trajectory, improving the use safety.

[0075] Part of the pipe fittings of the sliding frame 1 can extend into the interior of part of the pipe fittings of the fixed frame 3 to achieve sliding.

[0076] In addition, a plurality of support plates can be laid on the surfaces of the fixed frame 3 and the sliding frame 1, and the plurality of support plates are spliced to form a support platform. Personnel stand on the support platform and can carry out engineering operations (such as wall painting, roof decoration, etc.) by virtue of the advantage of vehicle height; compared with the surface of the vehicle roof 4, the support surface of the support platform is flat, which can ensure the safety of personnel standing.

[0077] Each support plate can also be used for other functions. For example, when the vehicle gets stuck on a non-paved road surface, the support plate can be removed and used as a recovery board; for another example, when it is necessary to load heavy goods or a trolley into the carriage 5, the support plate can be removed and fixed to the rear of the carriage 5 opening to be used as a loading ramp.

[0078] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned pickup truck roof extension structure can also adopt the structure as Figure 2 shown, see Figure 2 , the pickup truck roof extension structure further includes a ladder 6, and the ladder 6 is detachably connected to the rear end of the sliding frame 1 for personnel to climb.

[0079] In addition, the front end of the sliding frame 1 extends into the fixed frame 3 and is supported by the fixed frame 3. The rear end of the sliding frame 1 is driven by the bracket 2 to slide and is supported by the bracket 2. The bracket 2 is arranged on the top wall of the carriage 5, so that the sliding frame 1 can be supported by the carriage wall. When the ladder 6 is not connected, both the front and rear ends of the sliding frame 1 are supported; after connecting the ladder 6, since the ladder 6 is still standing obliquely in the carriage 5 and the ladder 6 is located in the middle of the bracket 2, the ladder 6 and the bracket 2 can form a triangular support, and the two are supported and fixed in a double layer, further improving the stability performance of the sliding frame 1.

[0080] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present application also provides a pickup truck, including the above-mentioned pickup truck roof storage rack.

[0081] For the pickup truck provided by the present utility model, since the above-mentioned pickup truck roof storage rack is adopted, it can not only increase the storage space on the roof, but also utilize the vehicle length advantage to place slender items, improving the use diversity of the pickup truck.

[0082] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
