[0083] This invention also provides a vehicle equipped with the aforementioned extension device for the vehicle's luggage compartment. Other components and functions of the vehicle according to this invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail to avoid redundancy.

[0084] The operation of the extension device for a vehicle luggage compartment according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0085] In its initial state, the back panel 200 is positioned above the storage box 300 (see also [reference]). FIG. 9A ), and located on the rear side of the front panel 100 (see details). FIG. 1A The gas spring 420 is in a compressed state and provides a forward and downward force to the first support rod 410A. FIG. 9A As shown, the height of the second end of the first support rod 410A (the end near the second pin 411A) is lower than the height of the first end of the first support rod 410A (the end near the first pin 412A), and the height of the second end of the second support rod 410B (the end near the fourth pin 411B) is lower than the height of the first end of the second support rod 410B (the end near the third pin 412B). At this time, the space inside the suitcase is not divided, and large items can be stored.

[0086] An upward force is applied to the rear plate 200 by the lifting device 215 to move the rear plate 200 forward and upward. Specifically, an upward force F1 is applied at the lifting device 215. During the movement, the first support rod 410A rotates around the first pin 412A in a first direction (clockwise in FIGS. 9A-9D ). FIGS. 9A-9D The second support rod 410B rotates around the third pin 412B in the first direction (clockwise in ).

[0087] When the first support rod 410A and the second support rod 410B rotate to the horizontal state, the gas strut 420 is further compressed and provides a forward force to the first support rod 410A (see FIG. 9B ).

[0088] When the first support rod 410A and the second support rod 410B rotate to the state that the second end of each is higher than the first end of each, the gas strut 420 provides a force F2 directed forward and upward to the first support rod 410A, which can help the support rod 410 continue to rotate in the first direction.

[0089] As shown in FIG. 9C , when the first support rod 410A rotates upward to a certain angle, the force F2 has a vertical component F 2y that generates a torque that exceeds the torque generated by the gravity G of the system composed of the rear plate 200 and the support rod 410. At this time, even if the user no longer applies the force F1, the rear plate 200 can move upward and forward under the drive of the gas strut 420 until the rear plate 200 is inserted into the card slot 500. When the rear plate 200 is inserted into the card slot 500, the length of the gas strut 420 reaches the maximum (see FIG. 9D ). After the rear plate 200 moves above the front plate 100, the rear plate 200 and the front plate 100 can store small items, respectively, and in addition, the user can also store items in the storage box 300, which is equivalent to dividing the internal space of the luggage into multiple spaces to store small items, respectively, thereby improving the space utilization rate for storing small items.

[0090] During the movement of the rear plate 200 upward and forward, the rear plate 200 rotates relative to the first support rod 410A and the second support rod 410B, so that the rear plate 200 always maintains a horizontal state.

[0091] If it is necessary to adjust the height of the rear plate 200, the user can adjust the length of the first support rod 410A and the second support rod 410B when the rear plate 200 is not inserted into the card slot 500 to adjust the height of the rear plate 200, and then insert the rear plate 200 into the card slot 500 of the corresponding height after adjusting to the appropriate height.

[0092] If the use area of the rear plate 200 is insufficient, the user can pull the limiting table 221 backward or directly pull the extension plate 220 backward, so that a part of the extension plate 220 slides out of the cavity 211, thereby expanding the use area of the rear plate 200. When the extension plate 220 is not pulled, the limiting table 221 is located at the front end of the sliding groove 212, and the distance between the extension plate 220 and the closed vehicle tail door 800 is L1 (see FIG. 4A for details). When the extension plate 220 is pulled to the position where the limiting table 221 is located at the rear end of the sliding groove 212, the distance between the extension plate 220 and the closed vehicle tail door 800 is L2 (see FIG. 4B for details). After the use area of the rear plate 200 is expanded, the rear plate 200 can store both small and large items, further improving the space utilization.

[0093] If it is necessary to store the rear plate 200, the following steps are performed:

[0094] First, the extension plate 220 is pushed into the cavity 211 of the rear plate body 210 until the limiting table 221 slides to the front end of the sliding groove 212.

[0095] An acting force F3 is applied along the rear and downward direction. Under the action of the acting force F3, the first supporting rod 410A rotates around the first pin 412A along the second direction (counterclockwise direction in FIGS. 9A-9D ), and the second supporting rod 410B rotates around the third pin 412B along the second direction (counterclockwise direction in FIGS. 9A-9D ), so that the rear plate 200 moves backward and downward (i.e., from FIGS. 9D to 9C ).

[0096] As shown in FIG. 9C , when the first supporting rod 410A rotates downward to a certain angle, the vertical component F 2y of the acting force F2 provided by the gas strut 420 to the first supporting rod 410A is less than the torque generated by the gravity G of the system composed of the rear plate 200 and the supporting rod 410. At this time, even if the user no longer applies the acting force F3, the rear plate 200 can move downward and backward under the drive of the gravity G until the rear plate 200 moves to the upper surface of the storage box 300.
