[0024] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the utility model, the following is a detailed description of the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Example 1:

[0025] This embodiment provides a rooftop kayak rack, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, the main support 1 and the auxiliary support 2 are rotatably connected. The main support 1 is provided with a shelf plate 3, and a mounting plate 4 is provided below the shelf plate 3. The mounting plate 4 is connected to the shelf plate 3. A pressure plate 5 is provided below the mounting plate 4. The pressure plate 5 and the mounting plate 4 are connected by bolts. The middle portion of the mounting plate 4 is recessed inward to form a V shape, and the middle portion of the pressure plate 5 is recessed outward to form a V shape. The V-shaped opening of the mounting plate 4 is arranged opposite the V-shaped opening of the pressure plate 5. The mounting plate 4 is connected to the shelf plate 3 by bolts, and the bolts also pass through the support rod 7 for a more secure fixation. In this embodiment, a flat-head rubber screw is used between the pressure plate 5 and the mounting plate 4 to facilitate the tightening operation.

[0026] The main bracket 1 and the auxiliary bracket 2 are rotatably connected, and have a high adaptability to the kayak, and the main bracket 1 and the auxiliary bracket 2 can be folded relative to each other, lowering the roof height when not in use, and reducing the occupied space for easy storage and transportation; the shelf 3 is used for placing the kayak; the mounting plate 4 and the pressure plate 5 are fixedly installed with the luggage rod on the roof, that is, the mounting plate 4 and the pressure plate 5 are respectively located on both sides of the roof luggage rod, and after tightening the bolts, the mounting plate 4 and the pressure plate 5 press the luggage rod on the roof to complete the fixed installation; the middle depression of the mounting plate 4 and the middle depression of the pressure plate 5 can increase the contact area with the luggage rod on the roof, and contact with the luggage rod on the roof from both sides can prevent shaking after installation, making the installation of the roof kayak rack more firm and stable.

[0027] In order to ensure the reliability of the main bracket 1, the main bracket 1 includes an auxiliary bracket 6 and two support rods 7. The auxiliary bracket 6 is U-shaped, has a simple structure and high strength, and the two support rods 7 are respectively connected to the two sides of the U-shape of the auxiliary bracket 6. The shelf plate 3 is mounted on the two support rods 7, which provides better support for the shelf plate 3. The support rods 7 are rotatably connected to the sub-bracket 2.

[0028] To reduce bulk, the center of the shelf plate 3 is recessed inward to form a V-shape, with the V-shaped opening of the shelf plate 3 facing the mounting plate 4. A first protective cover 8 is placed over the auxiliary frame 6, located on either side of the auxiliary frame 6. The auxiliary frame 6 forms an angle with the support rod 7. The central recess of the shelf plate 3 accommodates the central recess of the mounting plate 4, thus reducing the overall thickness. The first protective cover 8 protects the kayak from damage caused by friction and collision with the auxiliary frame 6.

[0029] In order to ensure reliable rotation, Figure 3 、 Figure 4As shown, the secondary bracket 2 is rotatably connected to the main bracket 1 via two angle adjustment mechanisms; the angle adjustment mechanism includes a fixed block 9, an adjustment block 10, an adjustment handle 11, a fixing bolt 12, and a nut 13. The fixed block 9 is connected to the main bracket 1, and the adjustment block 10 is connected to the secondary bracket 2. The fixed block 9 and the adjustment block 10 rotate in conjunction with each other. The fixing bolt 12 passes through the main bracket 1, the fixed block 9, the adjustment block 10, and the secondary bracket 2 in sequence. One end of the fixing bolt 12 is connected to the nut 13, and the other end is connected to the adjustment handle 11. The nut 13 fits against the main bracket 1, and the adjustment handle 11 fits against the secondary bracket 2. When the angle adjustment mechanism is locked, the nut 13 fits tightly against the support rod 7, and the adjustment handle 11 fits tightly against the secondary bracket 2, so that the fixed block 9 and the adjustment block 10 fit tightly against each other and cannot rotate relative to each other. In this embodiment, the fixing bolt 12 is rotatably connected to the adjusting handle 11. When the length direction of the adjusting handle 11 is parallel to the bottom end of the sub-bracket 2, that is, the second groove 15 is in contact with the bottom end of the sub-bracket 2, the distance between the rotation center of the fixing bolt 12 and the adjusting handle 11 and the sub-bracket 2 is minimized, and the main bracket 1, the fixed block 9, the adjusting block 10 and the sub-bracket 2 can be locked. Pulling the adjusting handle 11 will increase the distance between the rotation center of the fixing bolt 12 and the adjusting handle 11 and the sub-bracket 2, so that the locking of the main bracket 1, the fixed block 9, the adjusting block 10 and the sub-bracket 2 is released, and the fixed block 9 and the adjusting block 10 can rotate relative to each other.

[0030] In order to fix it reliably, Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, the outer end of the adjustment block 10 is provided with a first groove 14, and the inner end of the adjustment handle 11 is provided with a second groove 15. The first groove 14 and the second groove 15 are arranged opposite each other, and the bottom end of the auxiliary bracket 2 is located between the first groove 14 and the second groove 15. The adjustment block 10 is firmly connected to the bottom end of the auxiliary bracket 2 through the first groove 14 to prevent rotation; the adjustment handle 11 is firmly connected to the bottom end of the auxiliary bracket 2 through the second groove 15 to prevent rotation and ensure reliable locking.

[0031] In order to improve safety, the arrangement direction of the second groove 15 is the same as the length direction of the adjustment handle 11, that is, when the adjustment handle 11 is locked, the adjustment handle 11 can fit along the length direction of the sub-bracket 2, the overall volume is smaller, and the adjustment handle 11 is not easily opened by external collision, thereby improving the fixing safety of the kayak.

[0032] In order to fix it reliably, Figure 5 As shown, the inner end of the fixing block 9 is provided with a third groove 16, and the third groove 16 is in contact with the main bracket 1. The fixing block 9 is firmly connected to the support rod 7 through the third groove 16 to prevent rotation.

[0033] To ensure reliable rotational locking, the inner end of the adjustment block 10 is provided with at least one protrusion 17, and the outer end of the fixed block 9 is provided with a fourth groove 18 that cooperates with the protrusion 17. When the angle adjustment mechanism is locked, the protrusion 17 engages with the fourth groove 18, preventing the adjustment block 10 and the fixed block 9 from rotating relative to each other. When the angle adjustment mechanism is unlocked, the protrusion 17 and the fourth groove 18 separate, allowing the adjustment block 10 and the fixed block 9 to rotate freely relative to each other.

[0034] To ensure the reliability of the sub-bracket 2, it is U-shaped, simple in structure, and high in strength. A second protective cover 19 is provided on each side of the sub-bracket 2. The two sides of one side of the sub-bracket 2 fit into the first groove 14 and the second groove 15, respectively. The second protective cover 19 protects the kayak from damage caused by friction and collision with the sub-bracket 2.

[0035] To securely secure the kayak, the secondary bracket 2 is provided with a securing strap 20 located along one side of the secondary bracket 2. The securing strap 20 is used to secure the kayak or rope. The securing strap 20 includes a securing sleeve 21 and a drawstring 22 with a buckle slot. One end of the drawstring 22 is connected to the securing sleeve 21, which is then fitted onto the secondary bracket 2. The securing sleeve 21 is provided with a buckle 23 that engages with the buckle slot on the drawstring 22 to adjust the wrapping between the drawstring 22 and the securing sleeve 21.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments using the technical contents disclosed above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
