Detailed Implementation
[0014] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Identical components are indicated by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," and "lower" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, and the terms "bottom surface," "top surface," "inner," and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.
[0015] like Figures 1-3As shown, an adjustable roof platform includes side rods 10, connecting sliders 20, connecting latches 30, load-bearing sliders 40, and load-bearing members 50. Two side rods 10 are arranged parallel to each other along their length, and sliding grooves 11 are respectively formed on opposite sides of the two side rods 10. The connecting sliders 20 include multiple pairs, each pair slidingly disposed on the sliding grooves 11 of the two side rods 10. The connecting latches 30 and connecting sliders 20 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, with each connecting latch 30 slidingly connected to its corresponding connecting slider 20 along its width. The connecting latches 30 are used to move along the width to match the width of different vehicles. Multiple load-bearing sliders 40 are included, each pair slidingly disposed on the sliding grooves 11 of the two side rods 10. Multiple load-bearing members 50 are provided, each mounted on several pairs of load-bearing sliders 40. The load-bearing members 50 are used to carry items and their position in the length direction is adjusted by the load-bearing sliders 40. This application allows the connecting clip 30 to be adjusted along the width direction to match the width of different vehicles, thus enabling it to be installed on vehicles of varying widths. The support plate for carrying items can slide along the length direction via the support slider 40, thereby meeting the installation position requirements of different items. Multiple support plates can form different types of support surfaces, thus enabling the support of various items.
[0016] Specifically, the connecting slider 20 can slide and be fixed on the sliding groove 11 by drilling holes and setting bolts, and the bearing slider 40 can also slide and be fixed on the sliding groove 11 by drilling holes and setting bolts.
[0017] The connecting clip 30 has an oblong hole 31 extending along its width, and the connecting slider 20 has a bolt hole for bolts to pass through. The connecting slider 20 is fixed at any position in the oblong hole 31 by bolts and nuts. After loosening the bolts and nuts on the connecting slider 20, the connecting clip 30 can slide to change its width to adapt to the width of different vehicles. After adjustment, the connecting clip 30 and the connecting slider 20 are fixed by tightening the bolts and nuts, thus allowing it to be installed on the vehicle.
[0018] A front baffle 60 is provided at the front end of the side rod 10 in the width direction, and a rear baffle 70 is provided at the rear end. The front baffle 60 and the rear baffle 70 are used to block both ends of the sliding groove 11 in the length direction. The front baffle 60 and the rear baffle 70 can also fix the width between the two side plates.
[0019] The front baffle 60 includes an upper front panel 61, a front ramp 62, and a lower front panel 63. The upper front panel 61 is located behind the lower front panel 63, and the ramp 62 connects the upper front panel 61 and the lower front panel 63 in an inclined state. The inclined ramp 62 is located in front of the roof platform and serves to guide airflow and reduce the wind resistance of the roof platform.
[0020] Example 1: The support member 50 is a single plate 51, which is mounted on several pairs of support sliders 40. In this example, the support member 50 is a single, integral plate 51. The width of the plate 51 is equal to the distance between the two side plates, allowing the plate 51 to be directly connected to a pair of support sliders 40. The plate 51 slides along its length within the sliding groove 11 via the support sliders 40. The dimensions of the plate 51 cannot be changed. This support method has a simple structure, is easy to assemble and disassemble, and the support area can be increased by using multiple plates 51.
[0021] The support member 50 includes a long plate 52 and a wide plate 53. The two ends of the wide plate 53 are used to connect to a pair of support sliders 40. Multiple wide plates 53 are provided. The long plate 52 extends along its length and slides along its length to connect with each wide plate 53. In this embodiment, the support member 50 consists of two parts: a long plate 52 and a wide plate 53. The wide plate 53 connects to the pair of support sliders 40. The number of wide plates 53 allows the long plate 52 to bear a greater weight. The long plate 52 slides on each wide plate 53, allowing for adjustment of its position along its length via the support sliders 40 or by sliding the long plate 52, making adjustment more flexible.
[0022] Example 2: A sliding groove 521 along the length direction is provided on the side of the long plate 52 facing the wide plate 53. Bolt holes for bolts to pass through are provided on the wide plate 53. The sliding groove 521 of the long plate 52 cooperates with the bolts on the wide plate 53 to slide, thereby changing the position of the long side in the length direction. Specifically, the wide plate 53 is moved at the position of the sliding groove 521, and a bolt is installed as a sliding block inserted into the sliding groove 521, allowing the long plate 52 to slide. Nuts are then installed at both ends of the bolt to achieve tightening and fixation.
[0023] Multiple long plates 52 are arranged side-by-side along the width direction. The multiple long plates 52 are installed in the same way, all slidingly connected to the wide plate 53. Bolts are installed by drilling holes in the sliding grooves 521 of the long plates 52 in the wide plate 53, allowing the long plates 52 to slide and be fixed. The side-by-side arrangement of multiple long plates 52 increases the load-bearing area. This load-bearing scheme allows for adjustment of the load-bearing area as needed, and with the support of the wide plate 53, it can support heavier items. The position of the long plates 52 can be adjusted according to the location of the items. The multiple long plates 52 are not shown in the attached drawings. The load-bearing component 50 can be in the form of a single plate 51, or in the form of both long plates 52 and wide plates 53. Both types of load-bearing plate structures can be jointly arranged on a pair of side plates. The load-bearing slider 40 is L-shaped, and its orientation in embodiments one and two can be upward or downward, adjustable according to actual conditions.
[0024] The side bar 10 has several gripping openings 12 along its width. These openings divide the sliding groove 11 into multiple segments, each segment having at least one load-bearing slider 40. The gripping openings 12 can be used for gripping during installation of the side bar 10 or for moving it using a forklift. Simultaneously, the gripping openings 12 divide the sliding groove 11 into multiple segments, with each load-bearing slider 40 sliding and adjusting within its corresponding segment. For example, this application has two gripping openings 12, dividing the sliding groove 11 into a front, middle, and rear section. The front section of the sliding groove 11 has two load-bearing sliders 40, the middle section has two load-bearing sliders 40, and the rear section has one load-bearing slider 40. With this segmented design, the sliding distance of the carrying slider 40 is relatively shortened, but the sliding distance of the long plate 52 on the wide plate 53 is not affected. Therefore, if the item needs to be kept stable within a certain range, it is supported by the single plate 51. If the item needs to be moved frequently and its position changed, it is supported by the long plate 52 and the wide plate 53.
[0025] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are within its protection scope. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within its protection scope.
