[0025] The utility model discloses an embodiment is further explained below in connection with the drawings:
[0026] As shown in the figure, a cover plate structure of a pickup truck rear cover plate comprises a plurality of cover plates 1 and a connecting mechanism for movably connecting two adjacent cover plates 1, the connecting mechanism comprises:
[0027] A first connecting piece 13 is installed on both sides of the cover plate 1.
[0028] A second connecting piece 2 is movably installed between the first connecting pieces 13.
[0029] The upper edge of the first connecting piece 13 extends outwardly to form a connecting strip 3, both sides of the second connecting piece 2 are provided with symmetrically arranged mounting grooves 4 for the insertion of the connecting strip 3, the connecting strip 3 has a first state in which the mounting grooves 4 are covered when the cover plate 1 is not folded, and a second state in which the connecting strip 3 is inserted along the inner wall surface track of the mounting groove 4 when the cover plate 1 is folded, there is a gap between the inner wall surface of the mounting groove 4 and the outer wall surface of the connecting strip 3, and the connecting strip 3 forms a drainage channel for the flow of rainwater inside the mounting groove 4 when it is in the first state; the technical solution realizes the two states of cover plate folding and flat laying through the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece, in addition, when it is raining, rainwater can enter the drainage channel from the gap between the inner wall surface of the mounting groove and the outer wall surface of the connecting strip 3, and then be discharged from both sides of the cover plate, without the need to additionally provide a drainage pipeline, having the advantages of simple structure, cost reduction and good practicability.
[0030] As Figure 8 shown, the first cover plate is at the lowermost layer after folding, the third cover plate is at the middle layer, and the second cover plate is at the uppermost layer.
[0031] The mounting groove 4 has a cross section in the shape of a quarter circle, and comprises a circular arc inner wall surface 41 and an opening 42 at the upper end of the circular arc inner wall surface 41, one cover plate and the second connecting piece can be folded by 90°, and two cover plates can be in a parallel state after being folded.
[0032] The connecting strip 3 comprises an arc-shaped edge 31 that enters from the opening 42 and is adapted to the circular arc inner wall surface 41; the arc-shaped edge is always inserted into the opening, and there is a gap therebetween, allowing rainwater to enter the mounting groove.
[0033] The mounting groove 4 further comprises a vertical surface 43 at the other end of the circular arc inner wall surface 41, and the connecting strip 3 further comprises a limiting surface 32 that is in contact with the vertical surface 43; when the limiting surface is in contact with the vertical surface, it means that the cover plate and the second connecting piece are folded in place, and they are just in a perpendicular state.
[0034] The upper end of the vertical surface 43 is provided with an arc-shaped hook 44, and the connecting strip 3 is provided with an arc-shaped convex strip 33 at the end position of the limiting surface 32, which is rotationally matched with the arc-shaped hook 44, and the center of the arc-shaped convex strip is the center during the folding of the cover plate, and the cooperation between the arc-shaped convex strip and the arc-shaped hook can prevent the first connecting piece from being separated from the second connecting piece.
[0035] The second connecting piece 2 is provided with a fixedly-installed protective cover 5 at both ends, the protective cover 5 is provided with a water outlet 6 in communication with the drainage channel, and rainwater is collected in the installation groove and then discharged through the water outlet.
[0036] The cover plate 1 is further provided with a protective strip 7 covering the edge and a protective corner 8 covering the four corners, the protective corner 8 is located between the two protective strips 7 and is inserted and matched with the protective strips 7, the protective strips 7 cover the gap between the protective cover 5 and the cover plate 1, and the protective corner 8 is further provided with a shutter 9 extending outward and used for covering the gap, because the vehicle type is different, sometimes the cover plate needs to be processed into a trapezoidal structure, if the protective strips and the protective corners of the original rectangular cover plate are selected, a gap will be left, which is very not beautiful, therefore, the protective corner of the embodiment covers the gap by increasing the covering plate and lengthening the size of the protective strip, and the problem of poor appearance after the same protective strips and protective corners are used for different models of cover plates is solved.
[0037] A safety buckle assembly is mounted on the edge of the upper surface of the first cover plate 1, the safety buckle assembly comprises a buckle seat 10 and a buckle 11, and a safety belt (not shown) is arranged on the safety buckle assembly, a handle 12 for winding the safety belt is arranged on the lower surface of the second cover plate 1, and after the cover plates are folded and stacked, as shown in Figure 8 The safety belt is threaded through the handle, and then the buckle is inserted into the buckle seat, so that the cover plates are fixed.
