[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6According to an embodiment of the present invention, a pickup truck trunk cover includes a bottom cover 100 and a top cover 200. The top cover 200 is slidably mounted on the upper surface of the bottom cover 100. The upper surface of the top cover 200 is provided with a mounting member 300 for mounting the trunk body. A first limiting structure is provided between the right end of the bottom cover 100 and the left end of the top cover 200. The top cover 200 has a first position and a second position. When the top cover 200 is in the first position, the top cover 200 covers the upper surface of the bottom cover 100. When the top cover 200 is in the second position, the right end of the top cover 200 is close to the left end of the bottom cover 100, and the left end of the top cover 200 is located on the left side of the bottom cover 100 and tilted downward. The first limiting structure can restrict the right end of the top cover 200 from detaching from the top cover 200 and limit the angle of inclination of the top cover 200 relative to the bottom cover 100.
[0032] The pickup truck bed cover provided by this utility model allows users to slide the top cover 200 from a first position to a second position when they need to retrieve items from the bed. This causes the bed to slide from the top of the bed cover to the horizontal side of the bed cover and tilt downwards, thereby reducing the height of the bed and bringing it into view. Users can then directly open the bed to retrieve items while still being able to see inside, reducing the number of times the bed needs to be disassembled. Therefore, the pickup truck bed cover provided by this utility model provides convenience for users to retrieve items from the bed installed on the bed cover.
[0033] Furthermore, since the top cover 200 is tilted to the left of the bottom cover 100 when it is in the second position, the top cover 200 is installed at a lower position on the box, which makes it easier for people to assemble and disassemble the box.
[0034] In some embodiments, the aforementioned front-to-back direction refers to the length direction of the pickup truck, and the left-to-right direction refers to the width direction of the pickup truck. Thus, the rear cargo cover provided by this utility model slides out from the side of the pickup truck to the second position.
[0035] Of course, in some other embodiments, the left and right directions mentioned above can also be the length direction of the pickup truck. In this case, the front and back directions mentioned above are the width direction of the pickup truck. Thus, the rear box cover provided by this utility model slides out from the rear of the pickup truck to the second position.
[0036] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7According to some embodiments of the present invention, the top cover 200 is provided with a first flange 210 at both the front and rear ends. The first flange 210 is located on the lower side of the top cover 200 and has a groove 230 between it and the top cover 200. The first limiting structure includes a strip-shaped guide hole 211 provided on the first flange 210 and a guide member 130 passing through the strip-shaped guide hole 211. The strip-shaped guide hole 211 extends in the left and right direction. The guide member 130 is connected to the left end of the bottom cover 100. The guide member 130 is connected to a limiting part 131. The width of the limiting part 131 is greater than the width of the strip-shaped guide hole 211. The limiting part 131 is located in the groove 230. There is an movable gap 132 between the limiting part 131 and the first flange 210. Therefore, during the process of pushing the top cover 200 from the first position to the second position, the cooperation between the strip guide hole 211 and the guide member 130 can be used to guide the top cover 200 to slide. As the top cover 200 slides towards the second position, the overall center of gravity of the top cover 200 and the box moves towards the second position. When the top cover 200 moves to the second position, due to the movable gap 132 between the limiting part 131 and the first flange 210, the top cover 200 can swing downward at a certain angle under the action of gravity until the limiting part 131 and the first flange 210 abut against each other.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 7 To make the movement of the top cover 200 smoother, more flexible, and quieter, the limiting part 131 includes a first pulley rotatably mounted on the upper end of the guide member 130. A second pulley can also be provided at the left end of the bottom cover 100. The highest point of the second pulley is level with the upper surface of the second flange 110. The first flange 210 is located between the first pulley and the second pulley. Thus, when the right end of the top cover 200 is close to the left end of the bottom cover 100, the second pulley can support the first flange 210 from below and restrict contact with the first flange 210 from above. The first pulley and the second pulley can rotate as the first flange 210 slides, making the top cover 200 slide more smoothly and stably.
[0038] According to some embodiments of this utility model, a buffer is connected between the left end of the bottom cover 100 and the left end of the top cover 200. Thus, during the process of the top cover 200 moving to the second position, after the center of gravity of the top cover 200 and the box body leaves the upper surface of the bottom cover 100, the reverse force provided by the buffer can buffer the downward swing speed and downward sliding speed of the top cover 200, thereby reducing the risk of the top cover 200 hitting people.
[0039] In practice, the buffer can be a tension spring, with one end connected to the bottom cover 100 and the other end connected to the front end of the top cover 200. Thus, when the top cover 200 is pushed back from the second position to the first position, the elastic force provided by the tension spring can also help people push the top cover 200, requiring less effort.
[0040] In other embodiments, the aforementioned buffer can also be configured as a gas spring.
[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 According to some embodiments of the present invention, a second limiting structure is provided between the right end of the top cover 200 and the right end of the bottom cover 100. When the top cover 200 is in the first position, the second limiting structure can restrict the right end of the top cover 200 from moving upward relative to the bottom cover 100, so as to prevent the right end of the top cover 200 from shaking relative to the bottom cover 100 during pickup truck driving.
[0042] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 According to some embodiments of this utility model, a locking device 400 is provided at the left end of the top cover 200. When the top cover 200 is in the first position, the locking device 400 locks the left end of the top cover 200 to the bottom cover 100. The locking device 400 can also release the lock on the top cover 200. Thus, the left end of the top cover 200 can be locked by the locking device 400 to prevent the left end of the top cover 200 from swaying up and down relative to the bottom cover 100 during pickup truck operation.
[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 7 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the locking device 400 includes an elastic hook 410 and an unlocking module 420. One end of the elastic hook 410 is connected to the top cover 200. The unlocking module 420 is installed on the top cover 200 and correspondingly disposed with respect to the elastic hook 410. The bottom cover 100 is provided with a hanging plate 120 for cooperating with the elastic hook 410. When the top cover 200 is in the first position, the elastic hook 410 can automatically hook onto the hanging plate 120 under its own elastic force. The unlocking module 420 is used to drive the elastic hook 410 to disengage from the hanging plate 120. Thus, the locking device 400 can automatically lock the top cover 200, and the locking can be released by human operation of the unlocking module 420.
[0044] Reference Figure 2 In specific implementation, the unlocking module 420 may include a button, a lock body, or other structures. Specifically, the lock body has a lock cylinder drive connection to an actuating element. Therefore, when the key is inserted into the lock cylinder and rotates it, the actuating element can push the elastic lock hook 410 away from the mounting plate 120.
[0045] In other embodiments, the locking device 400 described above may also be configured in other ways. For example, the locking device 400 may be configured in a structure similar to the lock of a motorcycle tail box.
[0046] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the bottom cover 100 includes a front cover 100a, a right cover 500100b and a rear cover 100c connected in sequence. The left end of the top cover 200 is provided with a left cover. When the top cover 200 is in the first position, the front end, right end and rear end of the top cover 200 are respectively attached to the upper end of the front cover 100a, the upper end of the right cover 500100b and the upper end of the rear cover 100c. The front and rear ends of the front cover 100a are respectively attached to the left end of the front cover 100a and the left end of the rear cover 100c. With the above configuration, when the top cover 200 is in the first position, the top cover 200 can cover the opening at the top of the bottom cover 100, and the left side cover can cover the opening at the left end of the bottom cover 100. Thus, the top cover 200, the bottom cover 100, and the left side cover together form a canopy with a certain rainproof function, and the entire rear box cover uses less material.
[0047] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the second limiting structure includes a baffle 220 and a second flange 110. The baffle 220 is disposed at the right end of the top cover 200, and the second flange 110 is disposed at the upper end of the right side cover 100b. When the top cover 200 is in the first position, the baffle 220 is located below the second flange 110 and abuts against the second flange 110 to restrict the right end of the top cover 200 from rising or falling relative to the bottom cover 100. Thus, the second limiting structure is simple in construction and easy to implement.
[0048] It is conceivable that the second limiting structure can also adopt other settings. For example, a slot can be set on the top cover 200, and the baffle 220 mentioned above is set at the rear end of the bottom cover 100. When the top cover 200 is in the first position, the baffle 220 is inserted into the slot.
[0049] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the left end of the top cover 200 is provided with an operation structure 600 for pulling out, so as to facilitate the user to pull out the top cover 200 and increase the convenience of use.
[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the lower end of the bottom cover 100 is provided with a plurality of connecting feet 700. The connecting feet 700 are used for fixed connection with the cargo box of the pickup truck. In specific implementation, the connecting feet 700 are fixedly connected to the rear box of the pickup truck by bolts. The rear box cover provided by this utility model retains the original connecting feet 700 to facilitate the connection and fixation of the rear box cover with the cargo box of the pickup truck.
[0051] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0052] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
