[0041] Example

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a spare tire rack, including a rod rack 10, a positioning plate 20, an adjustment plate 30 and a locking member 40. The positioning plate 20 is slidably set at one end of the rod rack 10, or the positioning plate 20 is integrally formed at one end of the rod rack 10; the adjustment plate 30 is slidably or locked on the rod rack 10, and a clamping installation space 301 is formed between the adjustment plate 30 and the positioning plate 20; the locking member 40 is locked or detached on the rod rack 10, and the locking member 40 forms a blocking member on the rod rack 10 to block or lock the spare tire, and the adjustment plate 30 is set between the positioning plate 20 and the locking member 40.

[0043] Specifically, the positioning plate 20 is locked to one end of the rod frame 10, forming a "T" shape, a two-prong structure, a triangular fork structure, or a four-prong structure (such as a rectangular, trapezoidal, or prismatic). Alternatively, the rod frame can be directly integrally formed to form a "U"-shaped frame. Alternatively, the rod frame can be formed into at least one "Z"-shaped rod. Subsequently, the position is adjusted by the adjustment plate 30 to change the spacing of the installation space 301, thereby achieving the purpose of clamping and fixing the spare tire rack to the vehicle's crossbeam or guard beam through the positioning plate 20 and the adjustment plate 30, or by locking the rod frame 10 through the vehicle's crossbeam or guard beam to achieve the purpose of fixed installation. In this way, one end of the rod frame 10 is suspended, allowing the lock hole on the tire to pass through the rod frame 10 for hanging. Then, the locking member 40 is installed to lock the tire, firmly mounting the tire on the spare tire rack and completing the purpose of placing the tire on the vehicle.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the rod rack 10 is at least one threaded rod, a polished rod or a shaft rod with a threaded section, or the rod rack 10 is a U-shaped rod, or the rod rack 10 is at least one "Z"-shaped rod (such as Figure 6 and Figure 10 shown).

[0045] If it is a threaded rod, a nut can be used to lock the connection, and the positioning plate 20 and the adjustment plate 30 can be adjusted to the position, which has high flexibility in use. In terms of quantity, if it is one threaded rod, a hole can be made on the crossbeam or protective beam of the vehicle, and the threaded rod can be locked by a nut, and the two ends of the positioning plate 20 and the adjustment plate 30 are clamped and fixed to achieve the effect of firmly installing the threaded rod, and then the spare tire is installed. If it is two threaded rods, there is no need to make a hole on the crossbeam or protective beam of the vehicle, and the space between the positioning plate 20 and the adjustment plate 30 is used for clamping and installing (cooperating with the two threaded rods to form a rectangular installation space 301), and then the tire is installed, and the design of two threads improves the stability of installing the tire. If it is three threaded rods, the same installation method as two is used, and the three threaded rods are clamped and installed, and the three threaded rods have good stability, improve the stability of the installation, and the installation of the threaded rods has high adaptability in spacing adjustment, and can be used to adapt to a variety of different vehicles and different models of tires.

[0046] For the use of a bare rod, it can be adjusted in conjunction with the pin, and the situation where the threads on the threaded rod are crushed during use can be avoided, thereby increasing the service life. The number of installation and use can refer to the threaded rod, which will not be described in detail here. When using a shaft rod with a threaded section, the bare rod section can be set at the position where the tire is suspended in the middle, and at the position where it cooperates with the crossbeam or protective beam of the vehicle, while the remaining positions can be set with threaded sections (the threads of the threaded section protrude from the bare rod section so that the nut can be screwed in). This can avoid the situation where the threads are crushed by the spare tire, crossbeam or protective beam, thereby increasing the service life. The number of installation and use can refer to the threaded rod, which will not be described in detail here.

[0047] like Figure 6 and Figure 10As shown, when the rod holder 10 is a Z-shaped rod, it is bent in the middle to form a Z-shaped structure (corresponding threads can be designed for assembly, while threads can be omitted at the bent position). When two opposing Z-shaped structures are used, they form a separating or blocking effect, improving the stability of the structural assembly. At the same time, when using the Z-shaped rod structure, the Z-shaped rod can be rotated to change the distance between the two rod holders at the location where the spare tire holder is placed. This allows different types of spare tires to be hung on the spare tire holder for use, improving adaptability. Similarly, when using two rod holder structures, for example, using a Z-shaped rod and a threaded rod, the above-mentioned center distance adjustment can also be performed to adapt to the use of different types of spare tires, improving flexibility.

[0048] When the rod frame 10 is a U-shaped rod, for example, only two threaded rods or a bare rod structure, the number of accessories can be reduced, which facilitates assembly and use, improves practicality, and also improves the structural strength of the rod frame 10.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning plate 20 is provided with a limiting member 201, and the positioning plate 20 is provided with a groove 202 for limiting the rotation of the limiting member 201; the limiting member 201 is threadedly matched with the rod frame 10, or a pin is provided between the limiting member 201 and the rod frame 10, and a plurality of pin holes are provided on the rod frame 10 at equal intervals.

[0050] Specifically, when the retaining member 201 is a nut, the provision of the groove 202 prevents the nut from rotating or loosening, improving locking force, safety, and practicality. It also protects the nut, preventing the spare tire holder from being removed through one end of the positioning plate 20, thus improving safety. The latch structure provides excellent locking stability, and the groove 202 structure provides concealment and protection, making it less susceptible to collisions.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the locking member 40 is threadedly locked to the rod bracket 10. The locking member 40 has a double nut structure, a nut latch structure, or a nut stop washer structure. When the rod bracket 10 is a threaded rod, the locking member 40 is a nut. A double nut structure can be used to ensure locking force, or a latch structure can be used for locking, or a brake washer structure can be used for locking. This prevents the nut from loosening due to vibration, prevents the spare tire from falling, and improves safety.

[0052] like Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning plate 20 or the adjustment plate 30 is a strip plate, a tripod, a cross or a plate body, which can be designed according to the requirements of use, or adapted to the number of threaded rods to increase the contact surface of the installation and form a blocking effect, thereby improving the stability of the installation.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment is further provided with a top plate 50, which is sleeved on the rod frame 10 and located between the locking member 40 and the adjustment plate 30. The design of the top plate 50 is conducive to increasing the contact area between the locking member 40 and the tire, which can improve the stability of the locking.

[0054] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the adjustment plate 30 is provided with an adjustment member 302 for adjusting the spacing between the adjustment plate 30 and the positioning plate 20. The adjustment member 302 is threadedly engaged with the rod frame 10, or alternatively, the adjustment member 302 is latched with the rod frame 10. When the rod frame 10 is a threaded rod, the adjustment member 302 can be engaged with a nut. Furthermore, a gasket and a retaining washer can be used in conjunction to enhance the locking force. Simultaneously, the position of the adjustment plate 30 is adjusted to securely mount the spare tire rack on the vehicle's crossbar or guard beam. Alternatively, when the rod frame 10 is a plain rod, multiple latch holes can be provided at intervals (i.e., latch holes can be provided to accommodate different vehicle models). Latch holes can then be used to adjust the fit and achieve the desired spare tire rack installation.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning plate 20 is provided with a first elongated hole 203 for sliding the rod holder 10. The first elongated hole 203 can be a waist-shaped hole or a rectangular hole, etc., and can be adjusted in position. For example, if two threaded rods are installed on the positioning plate 20, the spacing between the two threaded rods can be adjusted through the two first elongated holes 203 to adapt to different models of vehicles and improve practicality.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the adjustment plate 30 is provided with a second elongated hole 303 for sliding the rod holder 10. Similarly, if two threaded rods are installed on the positioning plate 20, the spacing between the two threaded rods can be adjusted through the two second elongated holes 303, that is, in conjunction with the first elongated holes 203, to adapt to different models of vehicles and improve practicality.

[0057] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
