[0026] To ensure the straightness of the inner sealing plate when reinstalling it after air conditioning maintenance, the basic technical concept of this utility model is to provide an integrated duct luggage rack with a detachable and positionable inner sealing plate for reinstallation. Specifically, a positioning pressure plate is provided, and the pressure plate and the upper end of the inner sealing plate are fixed to the upper profile with screws. A positioning connector is also provided, and the lower end of the inner sealing plate is inserted into the connector's slot. When installing the inner sealing plate after air conditioning maintenance, both ends of the inner sealing plate are reliably positioned by the pressure plate and the connector, ensuring accurate reinstallation.

[0027] Based on the above concept, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to different embodiments.

[0028] Specific embodiments of the integrated air duct luggage rack provided by this utility model:

[0029] As a basic implementation example, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the air duct luggage rack includes a base plate 1, an inner sealing plate 2, an upper profile 3, and a hanger 4. The base plate 1 is an integral structure, and half of its space, enclosed by the inner sealing plate 2 and the upper profile 3, directly forms the air duct. It can be understood that the air duct luggage rack is roughly located at both ends of the horizontal direction of the vehicle's roof. A row of seats is located below the base plate 1, and correspondingly, air vents are also provided on the base plate 1 to direct cool / hot air towards the passengers. The hanger 4 serves as the foundation for installing and suspending the base plate 1, and its top end is connected to the upper profile 3. The upper profile 3 can be connected to the vehicle's frame.

[0030] To reduce air conditioning energy consumption, vehicles can have their air conditioning fans and evaporators installed inside the air ducts to achieve "direct airflow." However, having the air conditioning unit built-in can make repairs more difficult if it malfunctions.

[0031] The inner sealing plate 2 is connected to the upper profile 3 and the bottom plate 1 at its upper and lower ends, respectively. Unlike existing technologies, to ensure proper installation of the inner sealing plate 2, the air duct luggage rack is also equipped with a pressure plate 6 and a connector 8. The extension direction of the pressure plate 6 is the same as that of the inner sealing plate 2, both along the longitudinal or front-rear direction of the vehicle. The extension length of the pressure plate 6 is adapted to the inner sealing plate 2; this adaptation means that the length of the pressure plate 6 is basically the same as the length of the inner sealing plate 2 (slightly longer, slightly shorter, or identical). Overall, it serves to support the upper end of the inner sealing plate 2. Similarly, the extension direction of the connector 8 is also the same as that of the inner sealing plate 2, and its length is adapted to that of the inner sealing plate 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, screws 9 are used to sequentially pass through the pressure plate 6, the inner sealing plate 2, and connect to the upper profile 3, fixing the upper end of the inner sealing plate 2 to the upper profile. The connector 8 has a connector groove, into which the lower end of the inner sealing plate 2 is inserted. The connector 8 is fixed to the base plate 1, specifically using screws or rivets. In this way, both the upper and lower ends of the inner sealing plate 2 can be reliably fixed. Both the connector 8 and the pressure plate 6 can be made of profiles.

[0033] When the air conditioner needs repair, first remove screw 9, then remove pressure plate 6. At this point, one end of the inner sealing edge 201 is the freely movable end. Then, pull the inner sealing plate 2 out of the connector 8. After removing the inner sealing plate 2, the air duct is opened, allowing for the repair of the air conditioner inside the duct. After the repair is completed, the inner sealing plate 2 can be reinstalled.

[0034] When reinstalling the inner sealing plate 2, the lower end of the inner sealing plate 2 can first be inserted into the connector 8. Since the position of the connector 8 remains unchanged, the lower end of the inner sealing plate 2 can be reinstalled in its original position under the constraint of the connector 8. Then, the pressure plate 6 is installed and fixed with screws 9. Even if some of the threaded holes of the upper profile 3 are damaged at this time, the upper end of the inner sealing plate 2 will not easily shift when the screws 9 are reinstalled under the positioning of the pressure plate 6, thus determining the position of the upper end of the inner sealing plate 2. In this way, the reinstalled inner sealing plate 2 is less likely to have gaps between it and the upper profile 3 and the base plate 1, thus avoiding air leakage problems. At the same time, the appearance is more consistent, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing effect.

[0035] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, to facilitate the loading and unloading of luggage in low-light conditions, in a more preferred embodiment, such as... Figure 4 As shown, a detachable light fixture mounting plate 7 is also installed at the bottom of the pressure plate 6. The light fixture mounting plate 7 is used to install lighting fixtures, such as light strips, light belts, and LED beads. When the light is insufficient, the light can be turned on to illuminate the luggage rack, making it easier for passengers to retrieve and place their luggage. In addition, even without turning on the light, the light fixture mounting plate 7 can also serve a decorative purpose when the light is sufficient.

[0036] Specifically, to facilitate the installation and removal of the lamp mounting plate 7, it is preferable that the lamp mounting plate 7 adopts a snap-fit ​​structure to engage with the pressure plate 6. For mid-to-high-end buses, a luggage rack top light is generally installed on the bottom plate 1 of the luggage rack to illuminate the passenger's head area for easier reading. Accordingly, in some embodiments, in order to install the luggage rack top light, the bottom plate 1 has an upward-facing protrusion 101, and the area below the protrusion 101 forms a top light mounting groove for installing the luggage rack top light. In this case, the protrusion on the bottom plate 1 can be used to fix the connector 8, that is, the connector 8 is fixed to the protrusion 101, which is quite convenient.

[0037] Based on any of the above embodiments, to facilitate the insertion of the inner sealing plate 2, the insertion slot of the connector 8 can be set with a larger slot width. In this case, the inner sealing plate 2 may move and change position in the insertion slot. In a preferred embodiment, a set screw 10 is also installed on the connector 8, with one end of the set screw 10 abutting against the inner sealing plate 2. At this time, the set screw 10 can be flexibly screwed on according to actual needs to press the inner sealing plate 2 tightly and prevent the inner sealing plate 2 from moving in the insertion slot.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, considering that some passengers may carry more private or valuable items, a box-shaped luggage rack end 5 is also installed on the base plate 1. The luggage rack end 5 is equipped with a lid. On the one hand, the luggage rack end 5 can prevent luggage on the base plate 1 from sliding off the end; on the other hand, passengers' private or valuable items can also be placed inside the luggage rack end 5. Specifically, the box-shaped luggage rack end 5 can be installed at the front and rear ends of the base plate 1, or at one of the front and rear ends, as needed.

[0039] Specific embodiments of the vehicle in this utility model:

[0040] The key improvement to the vehicle is the air duct luggage rack described in the embodiment equipped with the aforementioned integrated air duct luggage rack, which will not be described in detail here.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still make modifications to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments without creative effort, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
