Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of automotive auxiliary function equipment structure, and in particular relates to a luggage rack installed on the roof of a car. Background Technology

[0002] A roof rack is a support structure installed on the top of a car vehicle to secure and carry large items. It is commonly found on hatchback station wagons, SUVs, and MPVs.

[0003] One common structural form is the split longitudinal rail luggage rack. In this structure, most of the longitudinal rails are separate from the roof, with only a few fixing points connecting them. To facilitate installation or removal of the longitudinal rails according to individual needs, the fixing points are generally connected to the roof using bolts and nuts. End caps are also installed at these fixing points. Firstly, the end caps cover the fixing points, making the roof look neater and more aesthetically pleasing. Secondly, the end caps prevent dust and rainwater from entering the fixing points, reducing the risk of rust and damage. They also help prevent small stones and other foreign objects from bouncing up and hitting the fixing points during driving, thus avoiding potential damage.

[0004] In the existing technology, end caps are often difficult to disassemble after installation and fixation. Moreover, after a period of use, they may become loose, causing abnormal noises, or even fall into the mounting groove at the mounting point. End caps that fall into the mounting groove can no longer serve their aesthetic and protective functions. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a roof rack that can be installed on the roof of a car to solve the problem that the end caps of the existing split longitudinal rail roof rack are difficult to disassemble after being fixed, and that they will loosen after a period of use.

[0006] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides a roof rack for a car, comprising a longitudinal rail fixedly mounted on the car roof, a mounting groove formed at a fixing point on the longitudinal rail and the car roof, the fixing point being located inside the mounting groove; a protective cap is installed in the mounting groove, the protective cap comprising a top cover and a cap body; the top of the top cover is flush with the top of the longitudinal rail, and the bottom of the top cover is fixedly connected to the top of the cap body; a locking block is provided on the top edge of the cap body, the edge of the locking block protruding from the edge of the groove opening of the mounting groove; the bottom of the cap body abuts against the interior of the mounting groove; the material used to make the cap body is elastic, and an elastic groove is formed on the cap body.

[0007] Optionally, it also includes a support, on which the longitudinal rail is fixedly mounted, and the support is fixedly mounted on the roof of the vehicle.

[0008] Optionally, the installation slot penetrates from the longitudinal rail to the inside of the support, the part of the longitudinal rail is a cap slot, and the part of the support is a fixing slot; the fixing point is located in the inside of the fixing slot, the edge of the clamping block protrudes from the edge of the slot opening of the cap slot, and the bottom of the cap body abuts against the inside of the cap slot.

[0009] Optionally, the fixing point is provided with a bolt and a nut; the head of the bolt is welded on the automobile roof, the rod of the bolt is upward and penetrates into the fixing slot, and the nut is screwed on the rod of the bolt to fix the support on the automobile roof.

[0010] Optionally, the longitudinal rail is fixedly installed on the support by a screw.

[0011] Optionally, the longitudinal rail is a hollow aluminum profile.

[0012] Optionally, the top cover and the cap body are integrally formed by engineering plastics.

[0013] Optionally, the end of the longitudinal rail is fixedly installed on the support.

[0014] As described above, the luggage rack installed on the automobile roof has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The luggage rack installed on the automobile roof is characterized in that the edge of the clamping block of the top of the cap body protrudes from the edge of the slot opening of the installation slot, the bottom of the cap body abuts against the inside of the installation slot, and the elastic slot on the elastic cap body is designed. Compared with the end cover in the prior art, because the protective cap has a rebound force, when the protective cap is disassembled, the staff presses the top cover, so that the edge of the clamping block and the edge of the installation slot are separated from each other, thereby conveniently releasing the connection between the protective cap and the installation slot. At the same time, the rebound force generated by the structure increases the tension of the two ends of the protective cap, so that the entire protective cap can be more firmly abutted against the inside of the installation slot without external force, the difference between the two ends of the protective cap and the inside of the installation slot is compensated, the entire protective cap will not be easily loosened, and thus will not produce abnormal sound and fall into the inside of the installation slot.
