Figure 4As shown, a plurality of blades 1 are arranged in parallel and sequentially arranged, and sequentially connected through the connecting part 2 and the connecting groove 3 to form a complete roller shutter structure. The number and length of the blades 1 can be adjusted according to actual needs. The blade 1 as a whole can be a rectangular plate structure, and the first side wall and the second side wall are two side walls in the length direction of the blade 1, that is, the side wall adjacent to each blade 1 and the adjacent blade 1. The blade 1 can be made of high-strength and weather-resistant materials such as aluminum alloy or engineering plastic to withstand the effects of wind, rain, ultraviolet rays and other factors in outdoor environments.

[0040] The connecting part 2 is arranged on the first side wall, and the connecting part 2 can be a protruding structure arranged on the first side wall, which can be inserted into the connecting groove 3 and will not come out of the connecting groove 3, so as to ensure the stability of the connection and the flexibility of the rotation.

[0041] The connecting groove 3 is arranged on the second side wall, and the shape of the connecting groove 3 is complementary to the connecting part 2. The connecting groove 3 can be a groove directly formed on the second side wall, or a groove formed by a protruding structure arranged on the second side wall, such as the connecting groove 3 formed by the two arc segments 5 described later. The groove can be designed with a friction-enhancing structure (such as corrugation or protrusions) to prevent the blade from loosening.

[0042] The adjacent two blades 1 are connected by the connecting part 2 and the connecting groove 3, that is, after the connecting part 2 is inserted into the connecting groove 3, it can rotate relative to the connecting groove 3 within a certain angle range, so that the adjacent two blades 1 can rotate relative to each other within a certain angle range, and then the roller shutter can be rolled up or unfolded, realizing the opening and closing function of the roller shutter.

The connecting part 2 can extend from the opening of the connecting groove 3 and be embedded between the concave surfaces of the two arc segments 5.

[0050] When subjected to compression, the two arc-shaped segments 5 can deform to enlarge the opening of the connecting groove 3, so as to embed the connecting part 2 into the connecting groove 3.

[0051] Optionally, the connecting part 2 includes a transition section 21 and an end 22. One end of the transition section 21 is connected to the first sidewall, and the end 22 is connected to the other end of the transition section 21.

In two adjacent blades 1, a section of the first sidewall, an arc-shaped segment 5, and the limiting portion 6 on one blade 1, together with a section of the second sidewall, the connecting portion 2, and the limiting portion 6 on the other blade 1, together form a limiting groove. Under the action of the limiting portion 6, the sealing strip 4 can be engaged within the limiting groove to prevent it from falling off when the two blades 1 rotate relative to each other. Specifically, the sealing strip 4 can match the shape of the limiting groove, which ensures both engagement and improved sealing.

[0056] Optionally, the limiting part 6 has a bent section that bends toward the inside of the limiting groove, and the bent section is embedded in the sealing strip 4.

[0057] In this embodiment, in conjunction with the appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the limiting part 6 has a bent section that bends toward the inside of the limiting groove. The bent section of the limiting part 6 can be a hook structure. After the sealing strip 4 is installed between the two blades 1, the bent sections of the limiting part 6 on the two blades 1 are respectively embedded in the sealing strip 4. In this way, when the two blades 1 rotate relative to each other, the sealing strip 4 deforms synchronously under the action of the bent section of the limiting part 6, thereby ensuring the stability and sealing effect of the sealing strip 4.

[0058] Optionally, the two limiting parts 6 are respectively disposed on one edge of the first sidewall and the second sidewall near the outer side of the roller blind structure.

[0059] In this embodiment, when the roller shutter structure is in the closed cargo box state, the limiting part 6 on the blade 1 is located on the side away from the inside of the cargo box. Similarly, the sealing strip 4 is installed on the side of the blade 1 away from the inside of the cargo box and is limited by the limiting part 6. In this way, the sealing strip 4 can prevent the connecting part 2 and the connecting groove 3 from contacting the outside rainwater or dust, and play a role in protecting the connecting part 2 and the connecting groove 3.

[0060] Optionally, a rubber component 7 is provided between the connecting part 2 and the connecting groove 3, and the rubber component 7 is engaged in the connecting groove 3.

The rubber component 7 is engaged in the connecting groove 3, thereby positioning the rubber component 7 and restricting its displacement towards the opening of the connecting groove 3.

[0062] Optionally, a slot 8 is provided in the connecting groove 3, and the rubber part 7 is located in the connecting groove 3 and partially engaged in the slot 8.

[0063] In this embodiment, in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the rubber component 7 is disposed in the connecting groove 3, and the connecting groove 3 is provided with a slot 8, for example, a slot 8 is formed between two opposite arc segments 5. The rubber component 7 can be partially engaged in the slot 8 to limit the displacement of the rubber component 7 towards the opening of the connecting groove 3, thereby ensuring the stability and durability of the rubber component 7.

[0064] Optionally, a hollow cavity is formed inside the blade 1. The blade 1 includes two panels 11 arranged opposite to each other. The two panels 11, the first sidewall, and the second sidewall together form the cavity. A stiffening plate 12 is provided inside the cavity and is connected between the two panels 11.
