Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a device for RVs, specifically a synchronous lifting linkage plate for hard-top RVs, belonging to the technical field of RV-related equipment. Background Technology
[0002] With rising incomes and changing consumer psychology, especially with the development of small towns with low building density, RVs will see significant growth. The most realistic path may be to move from providing simple camping for ordinary family cars to RV leisure and vacation, as driving family cars for travel has become an important way of leisure travel in my country. The construction, management and services of campsites can be developed and improved in the process of serving self-driving cars, thus laying the foundation for RV camping and consolidating the development platform for the RV industry.
[0003] However, most existing motorhomes have various problems. For example, in order to ensure the stability of the motorhome when driving, the height of the vehicle body is not high. However, in order to meet practical functions, a liftable hardtop is usually installed on the vehicle body. For example, in a hardtop double-decker motorhome disclosed in CN114013364A, although it can realize automated vertical expansion space, it can also completely store the components of the expansion space on the top of the vehicle body without occupying the usable space inside the vehicle body. Furthermore, the expansion space and the interior of the vehicle body have a connecting passage, which can avoid users having to climb in from the outside of the vehicle body to form two-level spaces, greatly increasing the safety of the expansion space.
[0004] However, since there is often a matching concave and convex surface between the door and the hardtop of a motorhome, and during the process of the hardtop rising, although there is no gap between the hardtop and the vehicle body for most of the time, a certain gap will often be generated at the concave and convex structure between the door and the hardtop. This poses certain safety hazards and also causes air leakage. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a synchronous lifting linkage plate for hardtop motorhomes to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model provides a solution that is significantly different from existing technologies, addressing the problem that existing technologies are too simplistic. Specifically, the purpose of this utility model is to solve the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a synchronous lifting linkage plate for rigid pop-top RVs.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, two limiting rods are symmetrically fixed at the upper and lower ends of the guide rail.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: the first active plate, the second active plate and the linkage plate are all provided with Velcro, and the pull cord is attached to the Velcro.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] In this utility model, by setting up a linkage mechanism, the first active plate and the second active plate can be linked synchronously during the lifting and lowering of the hardtop on the vehicle body. During the linkage process, the slider slides on the guide rail and drives the linkage plate synchronously through the pull rope.

[0022] 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.
[0023] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a synchronous lifting linkage plate for a hard-top RV includes a vehicle body 1, a hard top 2, and a linkage mechanism 3. The hard top 2 is slidably connected to the vehicle body 1, and a concave-convex structure is provided between the vehicle body 1 and the hard top 2. The linkage mechanism 3 is provided at the concave-convex structure of the vehicle body 1 and the hard top 2.
[0024] The linkage mechanism 3 includes an active plate assembly, a linkage plate 33, and a pull rope 34. The active plate assembly is connected between the vehicle body 1 and the hardtop 2. The linkage plate 33 is slidably connected between the active plate assemblies. The pull rope 34 is connected to the active plate assembly and the linkage plate 33 respectively.
[0025] The active plate assembly includes a first active plate 31 and a second active plate 32. The first active plate 31 is fixed on the hardtop 2, and the second active plate 32 is fixed on the vehicle body 1. The linkage plate 33 is slidably connected between the first active plate 31 and the second active plate 32. It should be noted that the active plate assembly may also include multiple active plates, and the linkage plate 33 is slidably connected between adjacent active plates.
[0026] The linkage mechanism 3 also includes a guide rail 35 and a slider 36. The guide rail 35 is fixed on the hard top 2, and the slider 36 is fixed on the side wall of the linkage plate 33, and the slider 36 is slidably engaged with the guide rail 35.
[0027] In this utility model, by setting a linkage mechanism 3, the first active plate 31 and the second active plate 32 can be linked synchronously during the lifting and lowering of the hardtop 2 on the vehicle body 1. During the linkage process, the slider 36 slides on the guide rail 35 and drives the linkage plate 33 to move synchronously through the pull rope 34. Then, the gap between the vehicle body 1 and the hardtop 2 is filled by the first active plate 31, the second active plate 32 and the linkage plate 33, eliminating safety hazards and effectively preventing air leakage. It is simple, efficient and practical.
[0028] Example 2, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in addition to all the technical features included in Embodiment 1, this embodiment also includes:
[0029] Two limiting rods 37 are symmetrically fixed at the upper and lower ends of the guide rail 35. The limiting rods 37 limit the slider 36 to prevent the slider 36 from slipping off the guide rail 35.
[0030] The first active plate 31, the second active plate 32, and the linkage plate 33 are all equipped with Velcro 4, and the pull rope 34 is attached to the Velcro 4. The Velcro 4 allows the pull rope 34 to be quickly disassembled and replaced after damage.
[0031] There is a gap between the second active panel 32 and the hard roof 2. A sealant 5 is provided on one side of the second active panel 32. The sealant 5 is located on one side of the gap. A pivot 6 is provided between the sealant 5 and the second active panel 32. The top of the sealant 5 is provided with a slope. The sealant 5 is used to fill the gap between the second active panel 32 and the hard roof 2 to prevent air leakage.
[0032] A torsion spring 7 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 6. One end of the torsion spring 7 abuts against the sealant plate 5, and the other end abuts against the second active plate 32. The elastic force of the torsion spring 7 enables the sealant plate 5 to rotate and reset quickly, and fill the gap between the second active plate 32 and the hard top 2.
[0033] When the hardtop 2 is raised on the vehicle body 1, the first active plate 31 rises synchronously with the hardtop 2. At this time, the slider 36 slides on the guide rail 35 until the slider 36 abuts against the limiting rod 37. Through the limiting action of the limiting rod 37 and the synchronous pulling of the pull rope 34, the linkage plate 33 is moved. After sliding to the appropriate position, the torsion spring 7 pushes the filler plate 5 to rotate through its elastic force, so that the filler plate 5 rotates to the gap between the second active plate 32 and the hardtop 2. When the hardtop 2 descends, one end of the guide rail 35 abuts against the inclined surface of the filler plate 5, thereby driving the filler plate 5 to rotate, so that the linkage plate 33 can be smoothly linked.
