[0047] 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. Example
[0048] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 6, a structurally stable car roof rack includes:
[0049] The base frame includes two parallel longitudinal beams 1 with a U-shaped cross-section. The U-shaped openings of the two longitudinal beams 1 correspond to each other. The solar panels 8 are slidably installed on both sides within the U-shaped structures of the two longitudinal beams 1. The longitudinal beams 1 can be made of channel steel, and their main purpose is to serve as the mounting base for the upper luggage rack support assembly and to connect with the support assembly 9 on the vehicle. In addition, since the slots of the channel steel correspond to each other, the solar panels 8 can be placed in the slots to achieve a sliding fit. When the solar panels 8 slide to the designated position, they can be positioned using bolts, set screws, etc. More specifically, the longitudinal beams 1 can also be made of other materials of metal plates bent into shape, which has the characteristics of being lightweight and inexpensive compared to channel steel.
[0050] It also includes a solar panel 8, which is movably connected to the base frame and includes multiple solar panels stacked in sequence. Some of the solar panels can be unfolded to the sides after the solar panel 8 is moved to the outside of the base frame.
[0051] Specifically, the solar module 8 includes a rectangular frame 801, which is slidably connected within the U-shaped structure of the longitudinal beam 1; there are three solar panels, two of which can pass through the side wall of the rectangular frame 801 and move outward.
[0052] More specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, rectangular holes 8011 are provided on the two long sides of the rectangular frame 801. The solar panels inside are a first solar panel 802, a second solar panel 803, and a third solar panel 804. End support frames 805 are installed at both ends of the second solar panel and the third solar panel 804. One end of the end support frame 805 extends outward. A guide frame 806 is installed inside the rectangular frame 801. The guide frame 806 is arranged parallel to the short side of the rectangular frame 801, and guide grooves are provided on the facing surfaces of the guide frame 806 and one of the short sides of the rectangular frame 801. The end support frame 805 can be placed in the guide groove and move along the guide groove. In actual use, the second solar panel 803 and the third solar panel 804 can be extended outward through the rectangular holes 8011 on both sides of the rectangular frame 801. During the extension process, the end support frame 805 moves along the guide groove. Since one end of the end support frame 805 extends outward, after the two solar panels extend outward, one end of the end support frame 805 is still in the guide groove of the guide frame 806, thus avoiding the problem of the second solar panel 803 and the third solar panel 804 tilting.
[0053] The support frame assembly comprises multiple sets arranged at intervals, each set including a fixed frame fixedly installed above the base frame and at least one telescopic frame that slides with the fixed frame.
[0054] In this example, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the fixing frame includes two support rods 2 and a support frame 3. The support rods 2 are aluminum alloy profiles, and the support frame 3 is a hollow metal frame structure, which can be made of rectangular tubes or square tubes. The two support rods 2 and the support frame 3 are fixedly connected in sequence.
[0055] The telescopic frame is a telescopic frame 4, which has a hollow metal frame structure inside. It can also be made of rectangular or square tubes and is slidably installed inside the support frame 3.
[0056] The combination of the two aluminum alloy profile support rods 2 and the support frame 3 can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, in this case, the two aluminum alloy profile support rods 2 are located on the left and right sides of the support frame 3. In other embodiments, the two aluminum alloy profiles can be combined and then connected and fixed to the support frame 3. The combination of aluminum alloy profiles and support frame 3 to form a fixed frame can enhance the structural stability of the entire fixed frame, which can facilitate the movement of the telescopic frame and avoid the problem of bending and deformation caused by too many people on the luggage rack.
[0057] The telescopic frame 4, as a telescopic frame, is similar in shape to the support frame 3. Both adopt a metal frame structure, such as square tubes or rectangular tubes, which has the characteristics of a solid structure and avoids the problem of poor structural stability when the telescopic frame 4 extends outward.
[0058] In this example, there is one telescopic frame 4 inside the support frame 3. The telescopic frame 4 can extend outward from one end of the support frame 3, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the telescopic frame 4 extends to one end of the support frame 3. This structure is suitable for structures where no skylight is reserved above the luggage rack.
[0059] The support frame assembly also includes:
[0060] There are two side rods 5, which are respectively installed at both ends of the support frame 3; more specifically, one side rod 5 is fixed to the end of the support rod 2 and the support frame 3, and the other side rod 5 is installed at the end of the telescopic frame 4. When the telescopic frame 4 extends outward, the side rod 5 can also extend outward at the same time, so as to maintain the effect of synchronous extension when the telescopic frame 4 extends outward.
[0061] The end rod 6 has two rods, one of which is installed at the end of the solar module 8 and can move with the solar module 8 when it moves outward, and the other is installed on the outside of the support rod 2 or support frame 3 located at the tail end.
[0062] Among them, a spoiler 7 is also installed below the end rod 6 installed at the end of the solar module 8; it is set at the front of the car and serves to swerve the air during the car's movement.
[0063] After being stored, the end rod 6 and the side rod 5 have right-angle joints at the four corners of the frame structure they form. The end rod 6 and the side rod 5 are connected and secured with bolts to prevent the end rod 6 or the side rod 5 from moving when the car is in motion.
[0064] It also includes support assemblies 9 installed at the four corners below the base frame.
[0065] The support assembly 9 includes: an upper frame 14 connected to the base frame; a connector 15 rotatably connected to the upper frame 14; and a lower frame 16 configured for mounting on the roof of a vehicle and fixedly connected to the connector 15. After the upper frame 14 and the connector 15 are connected, the upper frame 14 can be angularly adjusted relative to the connector 15, thereby making the installation process of the luggage rack more flexible.
[0066] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, both the upper frame 14 and the lower frame 16 are L-shaped structures. A connecting nut 17 is fixed to the outside of the lower frame 16. One end of the connector 15 is threaded and threaded onto the connecting nut 17. The other end of the connector 15 is a ball head structure, on which a spherical sleeve 18 is fitted. The spherical sleeve 18 is connected to the upper frame 14, thus allowing the upper frame 14 and the spherical sleeve 18 to be angled relative to the ball head structure. The lower frame 16 is connected to the bracket on the roof of the vehicle, and the side of the upper frame 14 is connected to the longitudinal beam 1. The four support assemblies 9 can achieve a stable connection between the luggage rack and the roof.
[0067] In another embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the connecting piece 15 between the upper frame 14 and the lower frame 16 is a spherical bearing, which can also serve the purpose of flexibly adjusting the angle between the upper frame 14 and the lower frame 16.
[0068] In another embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the lower frame 16 is a U-shaped support, and the connecting nut 17 is still fixed on the lower frame 16, which is mainly used for connection to different vehicle models.
[0069] In another embodiment, such as Figure 9 As shown, the lower frame 16 includes a U-shaped frame 1601, and a connecting nut 17 is installed on the inner side of the U-shaped frame 1601. A connecting plate 1602 is provided between the two side walls of the U-shaped frame 1601. A through hole 1603 is provided on the U-shaped frame 1601 corresponding to the center hole of the connecting nut 17. The connector 15 can pass through the through hole 1603 and be connected to the connecting nut 17. This is also to accommodate the connection of different vehicle models.
[0070] In another embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, the lower frame 16 has a hook-shaped structure, and the connecting nut 17 is fixed at its upper position.
[0071] In another embodiment, such as Figure 11 As shown, the lower frame 16 has a barb-shaped structure, and the connecting nut 17 is fixed to its side position, relative to the above. Figure 10 In one embodiment, its height can be reduced to accommodate the use of large vehicles such as SUVs, avoiding the problem of the roof rack being too high to fit into underground parking garages and other similar locations.
[0072] In another embodiment, such as Figure 12 As shown, a clamping plate 19 is also provided on the side of the lower bracket 16. The clamping plate 19 extends to the lower side of the lower bracket 16, and the end of the clamping plate 19 forms a hook. The hook at the end of the clamping plate 19 can be used to clamp onto the upper edge of the side of the car to form a fixed effect. Example
[0073] like Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment above is only that: there are two telescopic frames 4 inside the support frame 3. The telescopic frames 4 can extend outward to both ends of the support frame 3. In this structure, since there is a skylight window structure in front of the luggage rack, the fixing frame above the longitudinal beam 1 at the skylight position is set to two sections, so that the length of the telescopic frame 4 is shortened relative to the first embodiment and then extends to both sides of the luggage rack. Example
[0074] like Figure 5 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment above is that: the fixed frame is a first wavy plate 10 with a wavy cross-section, and the telescopic frame is a second wavy plate 11 with a wavy cross-section. The second wavy plate 11 is slidably installed below the first wavy plate 10.
[0075] More specifically, a fourth solar panel 12 is installed between two adjacent second corrugated plates 11. After the second corrugated plates 11 are pulled outward, the fourth solar panel 12 can also extend outward. A support plate 13 is installed on the outside of the longitudinal beam 1 at the location of the fourth solar panel 12, which can support the end of the fourth solar panel 12. At the same time, it can also support the fourth solar panel 12 when it is in the retracted state.
[0076] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
