[0002] With the booming development of the automotive industry and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, cars have become an indispensable means of transportation for daily commutes and long-distance travel. In car usage scenarios, especially for road trips and family outings, people often need to carry a large amount of luggage, including suitcases, skis, bicycles, camping equipment, etc. However, the limited luggage space inside a car makes it difficult to meet the ever-increasing demand for luggage, which has led to the increasingly widespread use of roof racks.
[0003] There are many types of car roof racks on the market. In terms of installation methods, they are mainly divided into clip-on, suction cup, and bolt-fixed types; in terms of materials, they include aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and plastic. These roof racks, to some extent, solve the problem of insufficient luggage space in cars, providing users with additional luggage storage area.
[0004] However, existing car roof racks still have many problems in actual use. For example, once the car roof rack is fixed to the roof, it cannot be rotated. When users want to retrieve their luggage, they need to climb on both sides of the car to take down the luggage on the side furthest from the user. This is not only inconvenient to operate, but also poses a great safety hazard.

[0027] 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.
[0028] This utility model relates to a flip-up car roof rack. Figures 1-4 The first embodiment of the present invention is shown, which includes: a fixing frame 1 for connecting and fixing to the roof crossbar, and a base 2 set on the top of the fixing frame 1 for placing items. The top surface of the base 2 is also provided with a limiting frame 3 along its periphery. A rotating component 5 is provided between the fixing frame 1 and the base 2. In this embodiment, the rotating component 5 is preferably a bearing so that the base 2 and the fixing frame 1 are rotatably connected to form a rotating pair.
[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, the fixing frame 1 includes a first frame 12 arranged opposite to each other, and a second frame 11 connecting the two sets of first frame 12 to form an "I" shaped structure. The rotating part 5 is located at the center of the top surface of the second frame 11. At both ends of the bottom surface of the first frame 12, there are also mounting parts 13 for connecting with the roof crossbar. In this embodiment, the mounting part 13 is a buckle commonly used in car roof racks in the prior art. Its specific structure and the installation method with the roof crossbar will not be described here.
[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, a positioning hole 6 is provided on the top surface of the fixing frame 1. A positioning member 41 that mates with the positioning hole 6 is movably disposed inside the base 2. The positioning member 41 is configured to move axially along the positioning hole 6 under the action of external force, so that one end of the positioning member 41 can extend into or out of the positioning hole 6, thereby restricting or releasing the rotation between the base 2 and the fixing frame 1. In this embodiment, the positioning member 41 is a columnar metal pin, with an elastic element 42 sleeved on its periphery, and a circular limiting part 43 with a radial dimension larger than that of the positioning member 41 fixedly connected to it. Inside the base 2, a movable chamber 21 that matches the radial dimension of the circular limiting part 43 is also provided. The positioning member 41 penetrates the base 2 and also penetrates the movable chamber 21. The circular limiting part 43 and the elastic element 42 are both located inside the movable chamber 21. In this embodiment, the elastic element 42 is a spring, located above the circular limiting part 43. One end of the spring abuts against the circular limiting part 43, and the other end abuts against the top inner wall of the movable chamber 21. When the positioning member 41 moves, both the circular limiting part 43 and the elastic element 42 can move in the movable chamber 21.
[0031] In practical use: when the positioning member 41 moves upward, the limiting part 43 can move upward in the movable chamber 21 along with the positioning member 41. At this time, the limiting part 43 continuously compresses the elastic element 42 during the upward movement. Due to the compression of the elastic element 42 and the continuous upward movement of the positioning member 41, the bottom of the positioning member 41 can extend out of the positioning hole 6, thereby releasing the lock between the fixing frame 1 and the base 2, so that the base 2 can rotate horizontally on the top of the fixing frame 1.
[0032] Similarly, when the fixed frame 1 and the base 2 are in a locked state, the elastic element 42 releases its elasticity to provide a reset force for the positioning member 41, which acts on the limiting part 43 to make the positioning member 41 move down. At this time, the bottom of the positioning member 41 extends into the positioning hole 6 to achieve locking.
[0033] Furthermore, to facilitate the axial movement of the positioning member 41, a force-applying part 44 is provided on the top of the positioning member 41. In this embodiment, the force-applying part 44 is a wristband rotatably connected to the top of the positioning member 41. In use, the positioning member 41 can be easily moved by lifting the wristband.
[0034] Figure 5The second embodiment of the present invention is shown. This embodiment reduces the number of movable chambers 21, limiting parts 43 and elastic elements 42, and its structure is simpler. The difference from the first embodiment is that the positioning member 41 is a bolt that is threadedly connected to the base 2. Specifically, a threaded through hole coaxial with the positioning hole 6 is provided on the top surface of the base 2. The positioning member 41 is threadedly connected to the through hole. When connected, its bottom protrudes through the through hole to extend into the positioning hole 6.
[0035] In use, by rotating the positioning component 41 clockwise or counterclockwise, the positioning component 41 can move along the axial direction of the positioning hole 6, thereby extending into or out of the positioning hole 6 to achieve rotational locking or release between the fixing frame 1 and the base 2.
[0036] To facilitate the rotation of the positioning member 41, a force-applying part 44 is provided on the top of the positioning member 41. In this embodiment, the force-applying part 44 is a hand ring with both ends rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the bolt. By rotating the hand ring, the rotation of the positioning member 41 can be easily driven.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments 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.
