[0002] With the progress and development of technology, human life has become better and better, and more and more people begin to enjoy life. For example, group cycling and the like. Such activities are difficult to carry out in the city and are generally carried out in the suburbs or more remote places. However, such places are generally far from the city. Therefore, in most cases, people drive their cars and transport the bicycles on the car roof.

[0003] In order to facilitate the self-driving transportation of bicycles, some bicycle brackets placed on the car roof have appeared on the market at present. Such brackets make the bicycles can be self-driven to the cycling area by placing fixed beams and other structures on the car roof. However, since the participants in such activities are all adults, the bicycles of adults often exceed the height limit of 0.5 meters of the car roof. If the bicycles are placed horizontally on the car roof, it is easy to cause scratches between the bicycles and the car roof. Therefore, basically, the bicycle transportation on the market is all vertical transportation. But this is illegal. Content of the Utility Model

[0034] The embodiments of this utility model will be described more specifically below through examples. It should be noted that the embodiments of this utility model are not limited to these examples only.

[0035] Example

[0036] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, a vehicle-mounted bicycle rack includes two fixed beams 1 placed side by side and a cross beam 2 connecting the two fixed beams 1; a buffer structure 4 is provided on the cross beam 2, and a fixing structure 3 for fixing the bicycle is provided on the fixed beam 1; the fixing structure 3 includes a fixing base 3-2 and a fixing block 3-1; the fixing block 3-1 is rotatably connected to the fixing base 3-2 through a hinge structure 3-3. Three mounting seats are provided on the cross beam 2, and the buffer structure 4 is fixed to the cross beam 2 through the three mounting seats.

[0037] In this embodiment, the fixing block 3-1 in the fixing structure 3 fixes the wheels of the bicycle by means of a bicycle rack of other brands (specifically, a fixing bracket for fixing the bicycle on the roof), and then realizes the horizontal placement of the bicycle through the hinge structure 3-3. The body of the bicycle is fixed and buffered through the buffer structure 4 and the fixing structure 3, so that the bicycle will not rub against the roof even during the bumps of the transportation process.

[0038] In some embodiments, a slide rail is provided on the fixed beam 1, and the fixed base 3-2 is slidably mounted on the slide rail.

[0039] The above structure is designed to match bicycles of different sizes. When the bicycle is too small, after the bicycle is tied, the bicycle can be pushed to the center of the roof by sliding the fixed base 3-2, so that it can better adapt to bicycles of different sizes.

[0040] In some embodiments, the crossbeam 2 includes a main beam and an extension rod; the extension rod is detachably connected to the main beam end to end. The connection between the extension rod and the main beam can be threaded or by other means, and this is not a limitation of the present invention. Furthermore, since extension rods are common technology, drawings are not provided in this embodiment, but those skilled in the art will fully understand how to implement them.

[0041] The above structure is designed to better accommodate bicycles of varying sizes. Due to the varying sizes of bicycles, it may sometimes be impossible to simultaneously bind the front and rear wheels. In this case, the spacing between the two fixed beams (1) is increased or decreased, and then extension rods of varying lengths are connected to the ends of the main beam. This allows the spacing between the fixed beams (1) and the position of the buffer structure (4) to be adapted to bicycles of varying sizes.

[0042] In some preferred embodiments, the cushioning structure 4 includes a cushioning layer 4-1 and a fixing layer 4-2. The cushioning layer 4-1 is disposed on the fixing layer 4-2. The fixing layer 4-2 includes a cavity 4-3 for accommodating the extension rod. The fixing layer 4-2 is positioned on the lower surface of the bicycle, away from the cushioning layer 4-1. The cushioning layer 4-1 and the fixing layer 4-2 are bonded or secured via a mechanical connection.

[0043] The above arrangement is to facilitate storage and access of the extension rod, preventing it from being lost due to random placement, and also does not occupy additional vehicle body storage space. It should be noted that adding storage space to a structure is a common technique in the art, and while this utility model does not provide a specific storage size and structure, those skilled in the art will fully understand how to implement it. Figure 3 The shown embodiment is a circular receiving cavity, but the present invention can be configured as a square or other shapes, such as Figure 1 The cross section of the beam 2 in the figure is adapted to the shape.

[0044] It should be pointed out that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
