[0029] This embodiment provides a bicycle bracket for the rear cargo bed of a pickup truck, as Figure 1 shown, including:

[0030] A frame 1 for installing on the inner wall of the cargo bed. Here, the inner wall of the cargo bed refers to the inner wall on the side close to the cab of the pickup truck cargo bed. Continue to refer to Figure 1, the frame 1 can be fixed on the steel pipe protruding from the inner wall of the truck bed through the fixture 101. In a more optimal implementation, height-adjustable first support seats 102 can be respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the frame 1, and height-adjustable second support seats 103 can be installed at the bottom of the frame 1 to enhance the stability of the frame 1. Furthermore, the frame 1 of this solution can be selected to be spliced by four circular pipe bodies and elbows, or it can be selected to respectively arrange integral elbows at both ends of two long pipe bodies, and install two short pipe bodies at corresponding positions to form the frame 1. This structure can reduce the assembly difficulty of the bracket and is also convenient for the installation of the fixing rod 2 and the wheel fixing bracket 4. The specific installation method can be seen in the following optional solutions.

[0031] It also includes a plurality of fixing rods 2, and both ends of which are respectively slidably installed on the upper and lower sides of the frame 1; a plurality of fixing mechanisms 3 are installed on the fixing rods 2, and the fixing mechanism 3 can be any locking structure. In the solution, by setting the fixing rods 2 that can slide horizontally on the upper and lower sides of the frame 1, it is convenient for the fixing mechanisms 3 installed on the fixing rods 2 to follow and slide.

[0032] Finally, it also includes a plurality of wheel fixing brackets 4, which are slidably installed on the lower side of the frame 1, and the wheel fixing bracket 4 can be any limiting structure. When in use, the adjacent wheel fixing brackets 4 and the fixing mechanisms 3 are located in the same vertical plane to form a set of fixing units. Among them, the wheel fixing bracket 4 is used to abut against the rear end of the bicycle wheel, and the fixing mechanism 3 is used to lock the front end of the bicycle wheel. It should be known that the numbers of the fixing rods 2, the fixing mechanisms 3, and the wheel fixing brackets 4 in this embodiment are all correspondingly matched and can be multiple groups. Specifically, refer to Figure 1 , and the corresponding number of groups can be selected by comprehensively considering the actual width of the bicycle and the width of the truck bed.

[0033] In summary, in this solution, by setting the wheel fixing brackets 4 and the fixing mechanisms 3 that can slide in the same direction, when in use, the user can freely adjust the distance between adjacent fixing units according to the body width of the bicycle and freely select the number of fixing units used, improving the adaptability of the bracket. Suppose, according to the current body width of the bicycle, four bicycles can be placed in the truck bed. At this time, five groups of fixing units are installed on the frame 1, then the outermost group of fixing units can be moved to the edge of the frame 1 to avoid occupying the installation space of other fixing units.

[0034] In the above embodiment, further optionally, refer to Figure 2 , a first locking member 201 for fixedly connecting with the frame 1 is installed on one side of the fixing rod 2, and the originally freely slidable fixing rod 2 can be locked on the frame 1 to avoid the bicycle from colliding during transportation.

[0035] As an optional implementation manner, in some embodiments, continue to refer toFigure 2 The fixing mechanism 3 includes a fixing base 301, a baffle 302 installed on one side of the fixing base 301, and a locking belt 303 arranged on the baffle 302. The front end of the bicycle wheel abuts against the baffle 302. The shape of the baffle 302 can be selected as an arc surface to be close to the front end of the wheel, providing a larger wrapping area, and then the locking belt 303 is used to tie the wheel tightly. It should be noted that the adjacent fixing rod 2 and the wheel fixing bracket 4 are used in combination, and both slide horizontally along the frame 1, and there will inevitably be movement interference between the two, so they need to be arranged staggeredly. If the fixing mechanism 3 and the wheel fixing bracket 4 are to form a set of fixing units, in this embodiment, the baffle 302 and the locking belt 303 should be arranged on one side of the fixing base 301, so that the baffle 302 and the locking belt 303 are located above or obliquely above the wheel fixing bracket 4.

[0036] To further improve the adaptability of the bracket, as an alternative implementation, as Figure 2 shown, the fixing base 301 is slidably installed on the fixing rod 2, and a second locking member 304 for fixedly connecting with the fixing rod 2 is installed on one side of the fixing base 301. In this solution, the user can freely adjust the height of the fixing base 301 according to different bicycle tire sizes. The goal of the adjustment task is to slide the baffle 302 and the locking belt 303 along with the fixing base 301 to the front end of the wheel, and then use the second locking member 304 to lock the installation position of the fixing base 301 to adapt to the installation tasks of more models of bicycles.

[0037] In an example, as Figure 2 shown, the above-mentioned wheel fixing bracket 4 includes a connecting member 401 installed on the lower side of the frame 1, brackets 402 respectively arranged at both ends of the connecting member 401, and a limiting rod 403 installed at the distal ends of the two brackets 402. When in use, the bicycle is placed between the two brackets 402 to form a limit in the left-right direction, and the limiting rod 403 is used to abut against the rear end of the wheel. At this time, the baffle 302 can be used to cooperate to realize the front-back direction limit of the wheel.

[0038] In another alternative implementation, as Figure 3 shown, the connecting member 401 is hinged on the outside of the frame 1. When storing, the connecting member 401 is driven to rotate along the axis of the frame 1 towards the direction close to the fixing mechanism 3, and the fixing mechanism 3 is used to fix the bracket 402 or the limiting rod 403. When there is no bicycle fixing task, there is no need to disassemble the wheel fixing bracket 4. Taking the lower side of the frame 1 as the rotation axis, the entire wheel fixing bracket 4 is pushed up a certain distance along the rotation axis, and finally the locking belt 303 is used to fix the bracket 402 or the limiting rod 403, without occupying the cargo space of the vehicle bucket.

[0039] The above-mentioned connecting member 401 not only plays a role in assisting the rotational storage of the wheel fixing bracket 4, but also plays a role in assisting the left and right sliding of the wheel fixing bracket 4. In one example, the above-mentioned connecting member 401 is a pipe body sleeved outside the frame 1. Before installation, the connecting member 401 with clearance fit can be sleeved outside the frame 1. During use, the connecting member 401 is driven to translate along the axial direction of the frame 1 until the bracket 402 and the fixing mechanism 3 are in the same vertical plane.

[0040] Furthermore, as Figure 2 shown, a third locking member 404 for fixedly connecting with the frame 1 is installed on the side of the connecting member 401, fixing the originally freely movable connecting member 401 to avoid collision during the transportation of the bicycle. After the third locking member 404 and the first locking member 201 cooperate to lock the wheel fixing bracket 4 and the fixing rod 2 respectively, the positions of a set of fixing units are immediately determined.

[0041] In this solution, based on the frame 1 composed of a pipe body, the above-mentioned first locking member 201, second locking member 304, third locking member 404, etc. can select hand-tightening nuts or other fixtures, and specific accessories can be fixed to the frame 1, and the specific form is not limited.

[0042] In another preferred embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, each bracket 402 includes a first arm 4021 connected to the connecting member 401, and a second arm 4022 hinged to the first arm 4021. A torsion spring 4023 is installed at the hinge of the first arm 4021 and the second arm 4022. In this solution, the design of the torsion spring 4023 allows the hinge angle between the first arm 4021 and the second arm 4022 to be adjustable. For example, when a large-sized tire abuts against the limiting rod 403, the second arm 4022 will inevitably be squeezed towards the rear of the vehicle. At this time, the torsion spring 4023 is squeezed to give a resilience force to the second arm 4022, and this resilience force is transmitted to the rear end of the tire through the limiting rod 403, so that the limiting rod 403 tightly abuts against the tire. The purpose of this optional solution is that before using the locking belt 303, the wheel is only initially limited by two brackets 402, and the limiting rod 403 that realizes resilience through the torsion spring 4023 can abut against the rear end of the wheel to prevent the bicycle from slipping.

[0043] On the basis of the above solutions, further optionally, the limiting rod 403 protrudes in a direction away from the first arm 4021 to increase the accommodation space of the limiting rod 403.

[0044] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present utility model. The purpose is to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the content of the present utility model and implement it accordingly, and it should not be used to limit the protection scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the essence of the content of the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
