TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to an automobile accessory, in particular to a gantry for pick-up truck. BACKGROUND
[0002] Pick-up trucks have become one of the most popular car models worldwide due to their strong load-carrying capacity and wide applicability. As an important component of pick-up trucks, the gantry, also known as the gantry frame, plays a crucial role in improving vehicle structural strength, increasing loading space, and optimizing vehicle appearance. Traditional pick-up truck gantries are mainly composed of multiple independent bars, which are fixed between the top of the side panel and the rear panel of the cab through welding or bolt connection. Although this type of gantry has certain functionality, it still has many shortcomings.
[0003] 1. The existing pick-up truck gantry is usually composed of multiple independent components such as lower bars, upper bars, and cross bars. These components need to be precisely welded or bolted during production, resulting in complex manufacturing processes and high production costs. In addition, if the gantry is damaged or needs to be replaced during use, maintenance personnel need to disassemble and replace each independent component one by one, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, increasing the difficulty and cost of maintenance.
[0004] 2. Since the components of the existing gantry are fixed by welding or bolt connection, the strength of the connection part often becomes the bottleneck of the stability of the whole gantry. Under high load or harsh road conditions, the connection part is prone to looseness or fracture, which affects the carrying capacity of the entire gantry and the safety of vehicle operation. This not only shortens the service life of the gantry, but also increases the safety hazards of the vehicle during use.
[0005] 3. The design of traditional gantries mainly focuses on practicality, ignoring the aesthetic and personalized needs of vehicle appearance. The gantry usually adopts bare metal structure, lacking necessary covering and decoration, resulting in a heavy and unattractive overall appearance of the vehicle. In addition, the lack of effective decorative design also makes the gantry visually inconsistent with other parts of the vehicle, affecting the overall aesthetic effect. Therefore, it is necessary to make further improvements. SUMMARY
[0006] The utility model aims at overcoming the shortcomings of the prior art, providing a pick-up truck gantry with simple structure, convenient use, more attractive appearance, and good protection performance.

[0008] A top pole is further installed on the upper part of the lower pole, and a sub-pole extends upward from the front end of the top pole.
[0009] The bottom of the lower pole is provided with a connecting plate, and the lower pole is carried on the top of the side plate of the truck cabin.
[0010] The tail part of the lower pole and the top pole is sleeved with a decorative cover, and the tail end surface of the lower pole and the top pole is covered and hidden in the decorative cover.
[0011] The surface of the reinforcing pole and the horizontal pole is further provided with a support frame, and the support frame connects the two into a whole.
[0012] Further, the decorative cover is in the form of a bottomed cylindrical structure, and the opening end of the decorative cover is sleeved into the tail part of the lower pole and the top pole.
[0013] Further, a plurality of decorative holes are formed on the decorative cover, and the decorative holes penetrate the side surface and the bottom surface of the decorative cover.
[0014] Further, the sub-pole and the upper pole form a rectangular decorative area, and a decorative plate is installed in the decorative area.
[0015] Further, the middle part of the decorative plate is hollowed out to form a hollow area.
[0016] Further, the lower pole, the upper pole and the horizontal pole are integrally bent and formed from the same pipe material.
[0017] Further, the top pole and the sub-pole are integrally bent and formed from the same pipe material.
[0018] The upper poles are further connected by a horizontal pull rod.
[0019] The utility model has the advantages of simple structure, low production cost and improved market competitiveness.
[0020] 2, The gantry of the utility model adopts the same pipe material to integrally bend and form the lower pole, the upper pole and the cross pole, and the top pole and the auxiliary pole are also integrally bent and formed by the same pipe material. The design of integral forming greatly simplifies the structure of the gantry, reduces the number of parts, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process and reducing the production cost. At the same time, the integral forming of the pole structure enhances the connection strength between the parts, improves the stability and durability of the overall structure.
[0021] 3, By strengthening the pole and the cross pole surface mounted support frame, the two are connected as a whole, which significantly enhances the overall strength and stability of the gantry. Such design effectively disperses the load, reduces the risk of single-point stress, improves the carrying capacity and anti-deformation performance of the gantry under high load or complex road conditions, and ensures the safety and reliability of vehicle driving.
[0022] 4, The gantry of the utility model is provided with a decorative cover at the tail of the lower pole and the top pole, which covers and hides the tail end surface of the pole through the bottom cylindrical structure decorative cover, not only effectively protects the end of the pole, prevents it from being damaged due to external collision, but also greatly improves the appearance of the overall appearance of the vehicle. The decorative cover is provided with a penetrating decorative hole, which further enhances the decoration effect of the gantry, makes it have both practicality and beauty on the basis of practicality, and meets the personalized needs of users for the appearance of the vehicle.
[0023] 5, The gantry of the utility model is designed reasonably, all the main pole bodies are integrally formed by the same pipe material, which reduces the complex installation procedures such as welding or bolt connection, so that the installation process of the gantry is more simple and convenient. At the same time, the simplification of the structure also makes the subsequent maintenance and replacement more convenient, reduces the maintenance cost and time, and improves the use efficiency.
