DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the truck tarpaulin structure of the present invention includes a tarpaulin 1, a tarpaulin retracting drive mechanism 94, a tarpaulin covering drive mechanism, and a portal frame 8 rotatably mounted on the truck compartment 4 for tarpaulin retracting and covering. The tarpaulin 1 is secured at one end to the front end of the truck compartment 4 and connected to the portal frame 8 at the other end. The tarpaulin covering drive mechanism is connected to the portal frame 8 to rotate the portal frame 8 in the direction of covering the tarpaulin, thereby covering the truck compartment with the tarpaulin. To address the problem of water accumulation after the tarpaulin is covered, the present invention provides a plurality of downwardly curved supports 2, spaced apart along the length of the tarpaulin 1, fixed to the tarpaulin 1 to form an arched shape. The tarpaulin 1 is provided with at least one row of lifting holes 11 arranged linearly along the length of the tarpaulin 1, with each row of lifting holes 11 corresponding one-to-one with each of the curved supports 2. Above the curved supports 2, a tarpaulin-collecting rope 5 is provided, corresponding one-to-one with each row of lifting holes 11. One end of each rope 5 is connected to the portal frame 8, and the other end passes through the corresponding row of lifting holes 11 and is connected to the tarpaulin-collecting drive mechanism 94. Each rope 5 corresponds one-to-one with each row of lifting holes 11, i.e., one rope 5 is provided for each row of lifting holes 11. Each row of lifting holes 11 corresponds one-to-one with each of the curved supports 2, i.e., each row of lifting holes 11 is provided with one lifting hole 11.
[0027] In the present invention, a plurality refers to at least two.
[0028] The awning drive mechanism 94 and the awning drive mechanism can both use motors, and the two can be the same motor. Of course, the awning drive mechanism 94 and the awning drive mechanism can also use a motor in one mechanism and a tension spring or spring in the other mechanism. Figure 1As shown, the awning retraction drive mechanism 94 is a tension spring. The awning drive mechanism includes a motor 91, a winch 92, and a awning rope 93. One end of the awning rope 93 is connected to the portal frame 8, and the other end is wound around the winch 92. The motor is in transmission connection with the winch 92. The motor drives the winch 92 to rotate. The rotation of the winch pulls the awning rope 93, which in turn pulls the portal frame 8 in the direction of covering the awning, thereby draping the awning over the truck bed. As the portal frame 8 rotates in the direction of covering the awning, the awning rope 5 deforms the tension spring. To retract the awning, the motor rotates in the opposite direction, releasing the awning rope 93. The restoring force of the tension spring pulls the portal frame 8 in the direction of retracting the awning through the awning rope 5, thereby retracting the awning.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the truck tarpaulin structure of the present invention has a plurality of arc-shaped supports 2 that are bent downward and fixed on the tarpaulin 1 and make the tarpaulin arched. The tarpaulin 1 has at least one row of hanging holes 11 arranged in a straight line along the length of the tarpaulin 1, and each row of the hanging holes 11 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the arc-shaped supports 2. The arc-shaped supports 2 have a tarpaulin collection rope 5 that corresponds to each row of the hanging holes 11. One end of the 5 is connected to the door frame 8, and the other end passes through the corresponding row of the hanging holes 11 and is connected to the tarpaulin retraction drive mechanism 94. In this way, when the truck tarpaulin is driven by the tarpaulin retraction drive mechanism to rotate the door frame, so that the tarpaulin is stretched and unfolded to cover the truck compartment 4, the weight of the arc support 2 can be borne by the straightened tarpaulin retraction rope 5, so that the arc support 2 can support the tarpaulin 1, so that the tarpaulin is arched and covered on the truck compartment. In this way, the tarpaulin is easy to drain, the tarpaulin is not easy to accumulate water, the tarpaulin is easier to retract, and the service life of the tarpaulin is longer. Because the arc support 2 is fixed to the tarpaulin 1 at intervals, it will not affect the retraction of the tarpaulin 1. When the tarpaulin is retracted, the arc support 2 also moves closer to it. The arc support 2 will not affect the loading and unloading of the truck, and there is no need to remove the arc support 2 separately.
[0030] The specific number of rows of hanging holes 11 can be one or more rows. The more rows of hanging holes 11 there are, the more corresponding furling ropes 5 there are, and the better the stability of the tarpaulin 1 after it is unfolded and covered on the truck compartment. When the hanging holes 11 are in one row, it can be understood that in order to ensure the stability of the tarpaulin, the hanging holes 11 should be set in the middle position of the tarpaulin 1, so that the furling ropes 5 are also set above the middle position of the tarpaulin 1. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the lifting holes 11 are arranged in two rows, one on each side of the tarpaulin 1. Thus, two tarpaulin-collecting ropes are also provided, one on each side above the truck compartment. In some embodiments, the lifting holes 11 are arranged in three rows, one on each side and one in the middle of the tarpaulin 1. Accordingly, three tarpaulin-collecting ropes are also provided.
[0031] The length of the arc-shaped support 2 in the present invention is generally adapted to the width of the truck compartment 4 covered by the tarpaulin.
[0032] Specifically, the arc support 2 can be fixed to the tarpaulin 1 by bonding, bundling, riveting, bolting, etc. In the embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the arc-shaped support 2 is clamped and fixed on the tarpaulin 1 by a plurality of tarpaulin clips 7 arranged above the tarpaulin 1, and the hanging holes 11 are arranged on the tarpaulin clips 7. The tarpaulin clips 7 can adopt various existing openable and closable clamping mechanisms, such as spring clips or clamps locked with bolts (such as Figure 4 As shown). The arc-shaped support 2 is fixed to the tarpaulin 1 by means of a tarpaulin clamp 7. The disassembly and installation of the arc-shaped support 2 is more convenient, which is not only convenient for replacement when the arc-shaped support 2 is damaged, but more importantly, it will not cause damage to the tarpaulin by punching, which is beneficial to ensuring the service life of the tarpaulin. The lifting hole 11 is set on the tarpaulin clamp 7, and the tarpaulin collection rope 5 directly transmits the supporting force to the arc-shaped support 2 through the tarpaulin clamp 7, and the arc-shaped support 2 then supports the tarpaulin 1. Compared with the method of directly gluing or fixing the lifting hole 11 to the tarpaulin 1, the tarpaulin 1 of the above structure is better stressed and less prone to damage, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the tarpaulin. The specific number of tarpaulin clamps 7 can be one or more, based on the ability to stably fix the arc-shaped support 2. In the embodiment of the utility model, in order to facilitate the setting of the lifting holes 11 on both sides, the tarpaulin clamps 7 are two and are respectively set at the two ends of the arc-shaped support 2. Of course, the above-mentioned two tarpaulin clamps 7 can also be set as a whole.
[0033] In order to facilitate the folding of the tarpaulin, Figure 5 As shown, a rotating wheel 71 can be provided in the hanging hole 11 of the tarpaulin clamp 7 as needed to reduce the friction between the tarpaulin furling rope 5 and the tarpaulin clamp 7 .
[0034] It is understandable that the smaller the spacing between the arc supports 2 is, the more beneficial it is for supporting the tarpaulin 1. However, if the spacing is too small, the tarpaulin 1 will occupy a larger area after being folded. Taking all factors into consideration, in the present invention, the spacing between the arc supports 2 is preferably in the range of 400 to 800 mm. In order to prevent the tarpaulin from sagging between the arc supports 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 1As shown, auxiliary lifting rings 12 fixed to the tarpaulin 1 can be provided between adjacent lifting holes 11 in the same row, and the auxiliary lifting rings 12 are suspended on the corresponding tarpaulin furling ropes 5 above. After the auxiliary lifting rings 12 are provided, the spacing between the arc supports 2 can be appropriately increased, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.
[0035] The arc support can be made of a non-elastic part or an elastic part. When the arc support is made of an elastic part, the arc support can be formed into an arc by bending the elastic part through plastic deformation. Figure 2 As shown, the curved support 2 is formed by elastic bending of an elastic member. A pull cord 3 is attached to one end of the curved support 2, connecting one end to the other end of the curved support 2 to maintain its curvature. This structure creates an outward prestressed force within the curved support, making the upper portion of the curved support less susceptible to deformation when subjected to pressure, and providing greater strength, which is more conducive to supporting the tarpaulin.
[0036] The arc support 2 can be made of elastic materials such as steel wire, carbon rod, fiberglass rod, etc. In the present invention, the arc support is preferably made of fiberglass rod, which has low procurement cost and is lighter while meeting the strength requirements, adding less weight to the tarpaulin, which is conducive to ensuring the service life of the tarpaulin.
[0037] The pull rope 3 can be made of nylon rope, steel rope, etc. The pull rope 3 can be connected to the two ends of the arc support 2 in a detachable manner. Of course, it can also be connected to the two ends of the arc support 2 in a non-detachable manner such as welding. In the present invention, preferably, the pull rope 3 is detachably connected to the two ends of the arc support 2. In this way, when there are many trucks, the pull rope can be removed so that the truck can load more cargo (the cargo can be higher than the position of the pull rope). The pull rope 3 can be detachably connected to the two ends of the arc support 2 by bundling, bolting, etc. Figure 6 As shown, in order to facilitate the disassembly of the pull rope, it is best that the pull rope 3 is hooked to the two ends of the arc support 2 through a hook 31. The pull rope 3 and the hook 31 can be connected by welding, bundling, etc.
[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to make the tarpaulin 1 cover the truck compartment better, the edge of the tarpaulin 1 is penetrated with a tightening rope 6. The tightening rope 6 can be used to tighten the edge opening of the truck tarpaulin so that it fits on the truck compartment.
