Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of recreational vehicles, in particular to a roof support structure of a recreational vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the growing popularity of RV travel, RV design and functionality are constantly evolving. The roof support structure, a crucial component of RV design, plays a key role in the stability and ease of use of roof racks. Roof racks not only provide increased storage space but also accommodate a variety of camping gear and outdoor equipment. Therefore, their safety and load-bearing capacity are crucial to the owner's travel experience.

[0003] When installing a roof rack, you first need to install the support brackets in the designated locations on the roof. These brackets are typically bolted to pre-determined holes or dedicated mounting points on the roof. The support brackets provide a stable foundation, supporting the rack's securement. The bottom of the rack is then docked with the support brackets and secured to them using the rack's bolt holes. The tightness of the support bracket bolts directly affects the rack's stability. Loose bolts can compromise the stability of the entire rack, potentially causing it to shift or fall off during driving, posing a safety hazard.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a RV roof support structure to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a RV roof support structure to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A RV roof support structure, comprising:

[0008] A roof, wherein a body frame is fixedly mounted on the inner surface of the roof, a limit frame is fixedly mounted on the inner surface of the roof via the body frame, a support frame corresponding to the position of the limit frame is provided on the top of the roof, and the support frame is fixedly connected to the limit frame via bolts, a luggage rack is fixedly connected to the support frame via bolts, a plurality of positioning holes are formed on the support frame, and positioning posts corresponding to the positions and number of the positioning holes are provided on the top of the roof, and the positioning posts are slidably plugged into the positioning holes;

[0029] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 , an embodiment provided by the utility model:

[0030] A RV roof support structure, comprising:

[0031] A roof 1 is provided with a body frame 4 fixedly mounted on the inner surface of the roof 1, a limit frame 5 is fixedly mounted on the inner surface of the roof 1 through the body frame 4, a support frame 3 corresponding to the position of the limit frame 5 is provided on the top of the roof 1, and the support frame 3 is fixedly connected to the limit frame 5 by bolts, a luggage rack 2 is fixedly connected to the support frame 3 by bolts, a plurality of positioning holes 6 are opened on the support frame 3, and a positioning column 7 corresponding to the position and number of the positioning holes 6 is provided on the top of the roof 1, and the positioning column 7 is slidably plugged into the positioning holes 6;

[0032] The outer wall of the positioning column 7 is provided with symmetrically distributed fixing grooves 11, and the top and bottom of the inner wall of the fixing groove 11 are provided with transverse grooves 15. The interior of the transverse groove 15 is fixedly installed with a slide bar 12, and the outer wall of the slide bar 12 is provided with a slider 13, and the slider 13 is slidably connected to the transverse groove 15;

[0033] A spring 14 is sleeved on the outer wall of the slide rod 12 on one side of the slider 13, and a locking block 8 is fixedly installed between the two sliders 13. The locking block 8 is located inside the fixed groove 11 and is slidably connected to the fixed groove 11. Symmetrically distributed locking grooves 9 are opened on the inner wall of the positioning hole 6, and the locking grooves 9 are locked with the locking block 8.

[0034] There are two limit frames 5, one limit frame 5 is plate-shaped, and the other limit frame 5 is an inverted U-shaped structure. The top of one limit frame 5 is fixedly connected to two support frames 3 by bolts, and the other limit frame 5 is fixedly connected to one support frame 3 by bolts. The two limit frames 5 with different structures cooperate with each other, so that the entire system can more evenly distribute and withstand the pressure of the luggage rack 2 and its load, reducing the risk of a single limit frame 5 being subjected to excessive stress. The provision of multiple support frames 3 increases the installation firmness of the luggage rack 2.

[0035] In one embodiment, the bottom end of the positioning column 7 passes through the outer surface of the roof 1 and extends to the inner surface of the roof 1 and is fixedly connected to the limiting frame 5, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire structure of the positioning column 7.

[0036] In one preferred embodiment, the side of the positioning block 8 close to the inner wall of the positioning hole 6 is inclined, and the positioning hole 6 is adapted to the positioning groove 9 , so as to facilitate direct installation of the support frame 3 .

[0037] In one embodiment, a sliding hole adapted to the sliding rod 12 is provided on the sliding block 13 , and the sliding block 13 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 12 through the sliding hole provided thereon.

[0038] In one of the preferred embodiments, a sealing gasket 10 is provided at the connection between the bottom of the support frame 3 and the top of the roof 1. The sealing gasket 10 can effectively prevent rainwater, dust and other external substances from penetrating into the gap between the roof 1 and the support frame 3, thereby preventing the roof structure from getting damp, rusty or dusty, and keeping the interior of the roof dry and clean.

[0039] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the parts not involved in the structure are the same as the existing technology or can be implemented by the existing technology. When installing the support frame 3, the support frame 3 is installed first, and the support frame 3 is directly passed through the reserved hole on the roof 1 by bolts and fixedly connected to the limit frame 5 on the inner surface of the roof 1. The limit frame 5 is fixed to the body frame 4, which ensures that the support frame 3 is not directly installed on the roof 1. In the process of installing the support frame 3, the positioning column 7 is directly inserted into the inside of the positioning hole 6 on the support frame 3. When the positioning column 7 is inserted into the inside of the positioning hole 6, the bottom of the support frame 3 will contact the inclined surface of the blocking block 8 and push the blocking block 8 to the fixed position. As the fixed slot 11 moves, the movement of the locking block 8 causes the slider 13 to slide along the outer wall of the slide rod 12 and compress the spring 14. As the locking block 8 fully enters the fixed slot 11, the positioning post 7 can be fully inserted into the positioning hole 6. Simultaneously, the locking block 8, under the elastic action of the spring 14, engages the positioning slot 9 on the support frame 3, ensuring that the positioning post 7 is firmly fixed within the positioning hole 6. After the support frame 3 is fixed, not only is the bolts holding it in place, but the precise insertion of the positioning post 7 into the positioning hole 6 also ensures that the position of the support frame 3 does not move. The locking block 8 and the locking slot 9 also provide additional fixing force. This dual fixing mechanism effectively enhances the stability of the support frame 3. Even if the bolts become loose after long-term use, the support frame 3 can still be firmly fixed to the roof 1. This dual fixing method significantly improves the support strength of the luggage rack 2, making the entire support structure more stable and reliable, and ensuring the safety of the luggage rack 2 on the roof 1.
