Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle roof platform technology, specifically to an adjustable-width vehicle roof platform. Background Technology
[0002] A roof platform is a device installed on the roof of a vehicle, primarily used to expand the vehicle's cargo space and functionality. When the interior space cannot meet loading needs, the roof platform can be used to place large items such as tents, sleeping bags, bicycles, and skis, freeing up more comfortable seating space inside the vehicle. Compared to stuffing heavy items into the trunk or searching for space inside the vehicle, items can be easily placed on or retrieved from the roof platform while standing next to the car, greatly improving convenience. In addition, valuable or fragile items can be placed on the roof platform to prevent them from being crushed or bumped inside the vehicle. At the same time, items that may soil the interior, such as muddy shoes and tools, can also be placed on the roof to keep the interior clean.
[0003] Existing rooftop platforms are generally customized based on the dimensions of the roof rack on the vehicle. This makes it difficult to find a replacement immediately when problems arise during installation or other issues. Furthermore, the installation methods for customized rooftop platforms are mostly fixed and lack flexibility, resulting in a decreased user experience. In addition, some vehicles have different styles of original roof racks, requiring additional accessories during installation, which significantly affects the installation process. Therefore, we propose an adjustable-width rooftop platform. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable-width roof platform to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable-width roof platform, comprising two sets of crossbeams, characterized in that: several sets of crossbars are installed on the facing sides of the two sets of crossbeams; a panel is fixed to the left end of each set of crossbeams; a wind deflector is installed on the facing sides of the two sets of panels; two sets of fixing plates are symmetrically fixed to the facing sides of the two sets of crossbeams; two sets of fifth through holes are symmetrically opened on the right ends of the two sets of crossbeams; several sets of second arc-shaped through holes are equidistantly opened on the upper side of the outer wall of the two sets of crossbeams; and the two sets of... Several sets of third arc-shaped through holes are equidistantly opened on the lower side of the outer wall of the crossbeam. A fifth arc-shaped through hole is opened between every two sets of third arc-shaped through holes. Four sets of fourth arc-shaped through holes are symmetrically opened on the left side of the outer wall of the two sets of crossbeams. Several sets of connecting blocks are slidably arranged on the top of the two sets of fixing plates. Two sets of sixth through holes are equidistantly opened on the right side of the several sets of connecting blocks. The sixth through holes match the second arc-shaped through holes. A crossbar is installed at one end of the several sets of connecting blocks facing each other. A support plate is fixed between every two sets of second arc-shaped through holes.
[0006] Furthermore, two sets of sliding grooves are symmetrically provided at both ends of the crossbar, and a slider is fixed on the top of the connecting block, which is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the sliding groove.
[0007] Furthermore, the top of the crossbar is symmetrically provided with two sets of second through holes, and the top of the connecting block is symmetrically provided with three sets of third through holes.
[0008] Furthermore, several sets of first through holes are symmetrically opened on the left side of the two sets of panels, and four sets of first arc-shaped through holes are symmetrically opened on the two sets of panels, and the four sets of first arc-shaped through holes are all adapted to the first through holes.
[0009] Furthermore, the crossbeam is made of aluminum alloy, which has certain rust-resistant properties, and the panel and wind deflector are also made of aluminum alloy, which has certain rust-resistant properties.
[0010] Furthermore, a set of L-shaped blocks is fixed at each of the several sets of the third arc-shaped through holes, a set of U-shaped blocks is fixed at each of the several sets of the third arc-shaped through holes, and a set of mounting blocks is fixed at equal intervals near the L-shaped blocks on the fixing plate, with each mounting block corresponding to one of the L-shaped blocks.
[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: By setting up crossbeams, crossbars, wind deflectors, etc., the crossbeam is placed on the top of the vehicle during use. Then, according to the size of the vehicle's top, the distance between the crossbar and the connecting block is adjusted so that the crossbeam can be installed on the crossbar on the vehicle's top and locked in place with fixing screws. In addition, due to the different styles of roof racks on some vehicles, some vehicles have hollow roof crossbars. In this case, U-shaped blocks can be fixed to the vehicle's top to make the installation of the crossbeam more secure. Some vehicles have grooved roof crossbars. In this case, L-shaped blocks and mounting blocks can be used together to fix them to the vehicle's roof crossbar, making the installation of the crossbeam more secure. Through the above design, the installation of the roof platform can be made convenient and diversified, greatly improving the user experience and reducing the manufacturer's production costs.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-10 An adjustable-width roof platform, comprising two sets of crossbeams 1;
[0025] Before use, place the crossbeam 1 on the roof crossbeam of the car. When placing it, measure the width between the crossbeams on the roof of the vehicle and adjust the installation distance between the crossbeams 1 according to the width of the roof crossbeams to make it suitable for the installation distance. At the same time, when installing this utility model, attention should be paid to the structure of the roof crossbeam of the vehicle. Some vehicles have a hollow design for the roof crossbeam. In this case, the U-shaped block 19 should be selected to firmly fix the crossbeam 1 on the roof crossbeam of the vehicle. Some vehicles have a grooved roof crossbeam. The L-shaped block 20 and the mounting block 22 can be selected for installation so that the crossbeam 1 can be firmly fixed on the roof crossbeam of the vehicle.
[0026] In this embodiment, an adjustable-width roof platform includes two sets of crossbeams 1. Several sets of crossbars 2 are installed on the facing sides of the two sets of crossbeams 1. A panel 3 is fixed to the left end of each set of crossbeams 1. A wind deflector 4 is installed on the facing sides of the two sets of panel 3. Two sets of fixing plates 6 are symmetrically fixed to the facing sides of the two sets of crossbeams 1. Two sets of fifth through holes 14 are symmetrically opened on the right ends of the two sets of crossbeams 1. Several sets of second arc-shaped through holes 15 are equidistantly opened on the upper side of the outer wall of the two sets of crossbeams 1. Several sets of third arc-shaped through holes 16 are equidistantly opened on the lower side of the outer wall of the two sets of crossbeams 1. A fifth arc-shaped through hole 21 is opened between every two sets of third arc-shaped through holes 16. Four sets of fourth arc-shaped through holes 17 are symmetrically opened on the left side of the outer wall of the two sets of crossbeams 1. Several sets of connecting blocks 8 are slidably arranged on the top of the two sets of fixing plates 6. Two sets of sixth through holes 18 are equidistantly opened on the right side of the several sets of connecting blocks 8. The sixth through holes 18 and the second arc-shaped through holes... Matching 15, several sets of connecting blocks 8 are installed with crossbars 2 at opposite ends, and a set of support plates 23 is fixed between every two sets of second arc-shaped through holes 15. Two sets of sliding grooves 12 are symmetrically opened at both ends of the crossbars 2. A slider 13 is fixed at the top of the connecting block 8. The slider 13 is slidably set on the inner wall of the sliding groove 12. Two sets of second through holes 7 are symmetrically opened at the top of the crossbars 2. Three sets of third through holes 9 are symmetrically opened at the top of the connecting block 8. Several sets of first through holes 5 are symmetrically opened on the left side of the two sets of panels 3. Four sets of first arc-shaped through holes 10 are symmetrically opened on the two sets of panels 3. The four sets of first arc-shaped through holes 10 are all adapted to the first through holes 5. A set of L-shaped blocks 20 is fixed at several sets of third arc-shaped through holes 16. A set of U-shaped blocks 19 is fixed at several sets of third arc-shaped through holes 16. A set of mounting blocks 22 is fixed at equal intervals near the L-shaped blocks 20 on the fixing plate 6. The mounting blocks 22 correspond one-to-one with the L-shaped blocks 20.
[0027] Specifically, after determining the style of the roof rack on the vehicle's roof as described above, the dimensions of the crossbeam 1 are then determined. The crossbeam 1 is then fixed to the vehicle's roof crossbeam using corresponding fixing screws through several sets of third arc-shaped through holes 16. Next, a connecting block 8 is fixedly connected between the two sets of crossbeams 1 using fixing screws. It should be noted that the connecting block 8 can be adjusted left and right through the second arc-shaped through hole 15. During installation, the distance can be selected as needed, greatly improving the owner's experience. After the distance is selected, the fixing screws are passed through the second arc-shaped through hole 15 and locked to the sixth through hole 18 on the connecting block 8, firmly fixing the connecting block 8 in place. The distance between the connecting block 8 and the crossbeam 2 is then adjusted. Once the distance is adjusted, the fixing screws can be inserted through the second through hole 7, firmly fixing the crossbeam 2 and the connecting block 8 together, preventing slippage and ensuring the safety of items placed on the crossbeam 2.
[0028] When installing the crossbeam 1, the wind deflector 4 should be positioned in the same direction as the car's forward direction. This is because the wind deflector allows airflow to pass over it, reducing vehicle resistance and significantly improving the safety of items on the crossbeam 1. The distance between the wind deflector 4 and the first through hole 5 and the first arc-shaped through hole 10 can be adjusted to accommodate different vehicle models. The fixing method is the same: the fixing screws are passed through the first through hole 5 and the first arc-shaped through hole 10 and then fixed. It should be noted that two sets of fixing plates 6 are fixed between the inner walls of the crossbeam 1. Their main function is to support the crossbeam 1, making the items fixed on the crossbeam 1 more secure and safe, thus improving the driver's experience.
[0029] Working principle: After the dimensions of the crossbeam 1 are determined, it can be fixed to the top crossbeam of the vehicle using corresponding fixing screws through several sets of third arc-shaped through holes 16. Then, a connecting block 8 is fixedly connected between the two sets of crossbeams 1 by fixing screws. It should be noted that the connecting block 8 can be adjusted left and right through the second arc-shaped through hole 15. During installation, the distance can be selected as needed. This design greatly improves the user experience. After the distance is selected, the fixing screw is locked by passing through the second arc-shaped through hole 15 and the sixth through hole 18 on the connecting block 8, so that the connecting block 8 is firmly fixed. Adjust the distance between the connecting block 8 and the crossbeam 2. After the distance is adjusted, the fixing screw can be inserted through the second through hole 7 to firmly fix the crossbeam 2 and the connecting block 8, preventing slippage between them. At the same time, the safety of items placed on the crossbeam 2 can also be guaranteed.
[0030] When installing the crossbeam 1, the wind deflector 4 should be positioned in the same direction as the car's forward direction. This is because the wind deflector allows airflow to pass over it, reducing vehicle resistance and significantly improving the safety of items on the crossbeam 1. The distance between the wind deflector 4 and the first through hole 5 and the first arc-shaped through hole 10 can be adjusted to accommodate different vehicle models. The fixing method is the same: the fixing screws are passed through the first through hole 5 and the first arc-shaped through hole 10 and then fixed. It should be noted that two sets of fixing plates 6 are fixed between the inner walls of the crossbeam 1. Their main function is to support the crossbeam 1, making the items fixed on the crossbeam 1 more secure and safe, thus improving the driver's experience.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
