[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0026] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. Furthermore, descriptions involving "preferred," "second-best," etc., in this utility model are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined as "preferred" or "second-best" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.
[0027] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a sliding folding pickup truck bed cover includes mounting side panels 1 installed on the top surface of the side panels of the pickup truck bed and multiple cover plates 2. Adjacent cover plates 2 are connected by flip-folding components 3 that allow the front cover plate 2 to be flipped and folded onto the rear cover plate 2. The bottom surfaces of the cover plates 2 are respectively provided with pulleys 4 that can slide along the mounting side panels 1 on both sides. The bottom surfaces of the cover plates 2 are respectively provided with cover plate flip-folding locking components 5 that are fastened to the mounting side panels 1 on both sides to prevent the cover plate 2 from flipping and can be unlocked. The bottom surface of one of the mounting side panels 1 is provided with a cover plate sliding locking component 6 that prevents the cover plate 2 from sliding and can be unlocked. In actual folding, first unlock the cover sliding locking assembly 6, allowing the cover 2 to slide outwards along both sides of the mounting side plates 1 under the action of the pulley 4. After the front cover slides out of the mounting side plate 1, unlock the cover folding locking assembly 5 of the front cover 1, causing the cover to flip backward and fold onto the adjacent rear cover. Then slide out the rear cover, and after the rear cover slides out of the mounting side plate 1, unlock the cover folding locking assembly 5 of the rear cover, causing the cover and the already flipped and folded cover to flip backward and fold onto the adjacent rear cover together. This process is repeated until the front covers are flipped and folded onto the last cover, completing the folding process. In actual operation, the front part of the cover can also be flipped and folded according to actual usage requirements. Similarly, when opening the folding cover, push the folding cover inward and flip it open sequentially in the opposite direction. As the cover flips open, the cover folding locking assembly 5 resets, locking the cover onto the two mounting side plates 1. After the last cover is opened, the cover sliding locking assembly 6 locks the entire opened rear cargo cover onto the mounting side plates 1, preventing the rear cargo cover from sliding. Furthermore, this design allows for operation by only one person during both the folding and opening operations, making it simple and convenient. It also eliminates the need for a separate roller shutter storage space, increasing the cargo compartment storage space and reducing production costs.
[0028] like Figure 3As shown, the flip-fold assembly 3 includes a central connector 31. Cover plate connectors 32 are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the central connector 31, and the central connector 31 and the two side cover plate connectors 32 can be folded to form a U-shape. The two side cover plates 2 are respectively connected to the cover plate connectors 32. Three cover plates 2 are provided between the two side mounting plates 1. The width of the central connector 31 of the front flip-fold assembly 3 is smaller than the width of the central connector 31 of the rear flip-fold assembly 3. In this invention, during the folding process, when the front cover plate flips and folds towards the rear cover plate, the front cover plate rotates around the central connector 31 along with the connected cover plate connectors 32. Simultaneously, the central connector 31 rotates around the rear cover plate connectors 32, causing the front cover plate and the connected cover plate connectors 32 to flip and fold together onto the rear cover plate, thus realizing the flip-folding function of the cover plate.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the mounting side plate 1 is provided with a mounting side plate groove 11 along the length direction for the pulley 4 to slide, so that the cover plate 2 can slide better on the mounting side plate 1.
[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, mounting seats 21 are provided on both sides of the bottom surface of the cover plate 2, and pulleys 4 are mounted on the mounting seats 21 to facilitate the installation of pulleys 4.
[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting base 21 is provided with an outer limiting protrusion 7 that cooperates with the inner side of the mounting side plate 1 to prevent the pulley 4 from disengaging from the mounting side plate 1. The mounting side plate 1 is provided with a limiting groove 12 along the length direction. The mounting base 21 is provided with an inner limiting protrusion 8 that extends into the limiting groove 12 to prevent the pulley 4 from disengaging from the mounting side plate 1. This limits the pulley 4 on the cover plate 2 to slide along the mounting side plate groove 11 on the mounting side plate 1, preventing the pulley 4 from disengaging from the mounting side plate groove 11.
[0032] like Figure 4-6As shown, the cover plate folding locking assembly 5 is mounted on two opposite mounting seats 21. The cover plate folding locking assembly 5 includes a mounting seat groove 51 mounted on the mounting seat 21, a slider 52 is provided in the mounting seat groove 51, a buckle 53 is provided on the slider 52 to engage with the inner side of the mounting side plate 1, the slider 52 is connected to a folding unlocking connector 54 extending inward from the mounting seat 21, a folding unlocking connecting rope 55 is connected between the two folding unlocking connectors 54, the front side plate of the cover plate 2 or the cover plate folding locking assembly 5 is provided with a folding unlocking handle 56 sleeved on the folding unlocking connecting rope 55, which pulls the two ends of the folding unlocking connecting rope 55 inward by rotation, and a flipping locking spring 57 is provided in the mounting seat groove 51 between the side of the mounting seat groove 51 and the slider 52, which presses the slider 52 to engage the buckle 53 with the side of the mounting side plate 1. When unlocking the cover plate folding locking assembly 5, the folding unlocking handle 56 is rotated to unlock. At this time, the folding unlocking handle 56 drives both ends of the folding unlocking connecting rope 55 to pull inward, thereby pulling the folding unlocking connector 54 inward. This causes the buckle 53 and the slider 52 to slide inward along the mounting base groove 51, allowing the buckle 53 to disengage from the side of the mounting side plate 1 and achieve unlocking. Similarly, when locking, releasing the folding unlocking handle 56 causes the slider 52 and the buckle 53 to slide outward along the mounting base groove 51 under the elastic force of the flip locking spring 57, allowing the buckle 53 to engage with the side of the mounting side plate 1 and achieve locking.
[0033] like Figure 4-5 As shown, the front side plate of the cover plate 2 or the cover plate folding locking assembly 5 is provided with multiple limit buckles 58, and the folding unlocking connecting rope 55 is respectively set in the limit buckle 58, which limits the pulling direction of the folding unlocking connecting rope 55. When the folding unlocking handle 56 is rotated, the slider 52 is pulled inward along the mounting base groove 51 with effortless and accurate unlocking.
[0034] like Figure 7-8As shown, the mounting base 21 is provided with a buckle 53 that engages with the inner side of the mounting side plate 1. The cover plate sliding locking assembly 6 includes a mounting bracket 61 disposed on the bottom surface of the mounting side plate 1 and near one of the buckles 53. The mounting bracket 61 is provided with a cover plate sliding locking member 62 that presses against the buckle 53 to prevent the cover plate 2 from sliding and can be rotatably unlocked. The front side of the bottom surface of the cover plate 2 is provided with a rotatable sliding unlocking handle 63. A sliding unlocking connecting rope 64 is connected between the sliding unlocking handle 63 and the cover plate sliding locking member 62. A sliding locking spring 65 is connected between the mounting bracket 61 and the cover plate sliding locking member 62 to reset the cover plate sliding locking member 62 and press against the locking buckle 53. When unlocking the cover plate sliding locking assembly 6, rotating the sliding unlocking handle 63 unlocks it. At this time, the sliding unlocking connecting rope 64 pulls the cover plate sliding locking component 62 to rotate around the mounting bracket 61, thereby separating the cover plate sliding locking component 62 from the buckle 53 and unlocking it, allowing the cover plate to slide outward along the mounting side plate. When releasing the sliding unlocking handle 63, under the action of the sliding locking spring 65, the cover plate sliding locking component 62 rotates back to its original position around the mounting bracket 61. Simultaneously, to lock, simply push the cover plate inward, causing the rotated-back cover plate sliding locking component 62 to engage and press against the buckle 53, thus locking it.
[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
