Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive longitudinal bar accessories, specifically to a roof longitudinal bar bracket. Background Technology
[0002] The main function of a car roof rack is to expand the vehicle's cargo space, especially when the interior space is insufficient for loading requirements. By utilizing the unused area on the roof, it allows owners to safely and conveniently transport more or larger items. Typically, a roof rack consists of longitudinal bars and crossbars. The longitudinal bars are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the roof, and the crossbars are fixed to the longitudinal bars, forming a mesh-like support structure.
[0003] For vehicles with factory-installed roof rails, installing a roof rack is relatively simple; the corresponding longitudinal bars are simply clamped and installed onto the longitudinal rails on the roof. However, for vehicles without factory-installed roof rails, the installation process is more complex. Typically, the bottom end of the added longitudinal bar is fixed inside the rain gutter on the roof, while the outer side of the longitudinal bar is secured to the outer edge of the vehicle using U-shaped clips or door frame clips to tighten and fix the longitudinal bar.
[0004] However, since the longitudinal bars of a car are arranged longitudinally along the roof, and the distance between the roof and the gap formed between the door and the roof varies at different locations, the existing method of using door frame clamps to fix the longitudinal bars is problematic because the length of the door frame clamps is not adjustable. This results in the following: in areas where the gap between the roof and the door / roof is large, the bottom end of the door frame clamp is tightly hooked into the gap, which can easily damage the sealing strip at this location; while in areas where the gap is small, the bottom end of the door frame clamp is loosely hooked into the gap. Consequently, the tension of the longitudinal bars varies at different locations, which has an adverse effect on the longitudinal bars during later use and can easily damage the sealing strip at the gap between the door and the roof. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the defects existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a roof longitudinal bar bracket to improve the problem that the existing automotive longitudinal bars are installed by using door frame clamps, which causes uneven force at different positions of the automotive longitudinal bars and is prone to damage to the sealing strip at the gap between the car door and the roof due to the non-adjustable installation length of the door frame clamps.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] This application provides a roof longitudinal bar bracket, including a roof longitudinal bar bracket body, a plurality of door seam hooks, and a plurality of connecting brackets. The roof longitudinal bar bracket body has a plurality of spaced mounting holes along its length. The bottom end of each door seam hook is provided with a hook portion. The door seam hook has a plurality of connecting holes along its length. The upper ends of the plurality of door seam hooks extend into the plurality of mounting holes. The plurality of connecting brackets are correspondingly mounted on the plurality of door seam hooks. One end of each connecting bracket is fixedly mounted on the roof longitudinal bar bracket body, and the other end of each connecting bracket is fixedly connected to the connecting hole.
[0008] Furthermore, the connecting frame includes an upper connecting plate and a lower connecting plate. The upper connecting plate extends vertically upward from the inner upper surface of the lower connecting plate. The upper connecting plate and the lower connecting plate form an "L" shaped structure. The upper connecting plate has an upper mounting hole, and the lower connecting plate has a lower mounting hole, which is used to mate with the connecting hole.
[0009] Furthermore, the bottom end face of the lower connecting plate is provided with vertically downward extending guard edges on opposite sides parallel to the insertion direction of the door seam hook.
[0010] Furthermore, the mounting hole located in the middle of the roof longitudinal strut bracket body is at a higher height than the mounting holes located on both sides of the roof longitudinal strut bracket body.
[0011] Furthermore, the vertical opening distance between the mounting holes located at the middle position of the roof longitudinal strut bracket body is greater than the vertical opening distance between the mounting holes located on both sides of the roof longitudinal strut bracket body.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] By adopting the aforementioned roof longitudinal bar bracket, and utilizing the multiple connection holes provided along the length of the door seam hook, the installation length of the door seam hook can be adjusted according to the distance between the car roof position and the gap formed between the door and the roof when the door seam hook is installed at different positions on the car roof. This allows the roof longitudinal bar bracket body to be stably installed on the roof with appropriate tension through the door seam hook, thus improving the problem of uneven force on different positions of the car longitudinal bar caused by the non-adjustable installation length of the door frame clamp when the roof longitudinal bar bracket body is installed by using the door frame clamp, which easily damages the sealing strip at the gap between the door and the roof.

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0025] See appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a roof longitudinal bar bracket 100, including a roof longitudinal bar bracket body 10, a plurality of door seam hooks 20 and a plurality of connecting brackets 30.
[0026] See attached document Figure 1 As shown, the roof longitudinal strut bracket body 10 has multiple spaced mounting holes 11 along its length. Considering that the middle part of the roof side edge protrudes more upwards than the ends of the roof sides, and to facilitate the installation of the door seam hook 20, the mounting hole 11 located in the middle of the roof longitudinal strut bracket body 10 is positioned higher than the mounting holes 11 located on the sides of the roof longitudinal strut bracket body 10. That is, at the two end edges of the roof longitudinal strut bracket body 10, the mounting holes 11 are located at the bottom of the roof longitudinal strut bracket body 10; while at the middle position of the roof longitudinal strut bracket body 10, the mounting holes 11 are located at the top of the roof longitudinal strut bracket body 10.
[0027] Continue to refer to the appendix Figure 1As shown, in order to further facilitate the installation of the door seam hook 20 located in the middle position of the roof longitudinal bar bracket body 10, the upper and lower opening distance of the mounting hole 11 located in the middle position of the roof longitudinal bar bracket body 10 is greater than the upper and lower opening distance of the mounting hole 11 located on both sides of the roof longitudinal bar bracket body 10. That is, the upper and lower opening distance of the mounting hole 11 located in the middle position of the roof longitudinal bar bracket body 10 is larger, which makes it easier for the door seam hook 20 at this position to extend into the mounting hole 11.
[0028] See attached document Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 5 As shown, the bottom end of the door gap hook 20 is provided with a hook portion 21, which is used to hook into the gap formed between the car roof and the car door (it should be noted that the gap between the car roof and the car door is a known design, since the car door and the car body are not completely integrated, the car door needs to rotate around the hinge to open and close; in addition, hooking the hook into this gap meets the actual use requirements, and can be referred to the door frame clip and other installation structures on the car roof rack in the prior art). The door gap hook 20 has multiple connecting holes 22 along its length direction, and the upper ends of the multiple door gap hooks 20 extend into the multiple mounting holes 11 respectively. Multiple connecting brackets 30 are correspondingly installed on the multiple door gap hooks 20. One end of the connecting bracket 30 is fixedly installed on the roof longitudinal rod bracket body 10, and the other end of the connecting bracket 30 is fixedly connected to the connecting hole 22.
[0029] To better understand the roof longitudinal support bracket in this embodiment, its installation principle is explained below:
[0030] See attached document Figure 1 and attached Figure 4 As shown, during installation, the hook part 21 at the bottom of the door gap hook 20 is hooked and installed in the gap formed between the roof and the roof. At the same time, the other end of the door gap hook 20 is passed through the mounting hole 11 on the roof longitudinal rod bracket body 10 and pulled tight. The bottom end of the connecting bracket 30 is fixed to the connecting hole 22 on the outer edge of the door gap hook 20 near the mounting hole 11. At the same time, the upper end of the connecting bracket 30 is fixed to the roof longitudinal rod bracket body 10, so that the roof longitudinal rod bracket body 10 is stably installed on the roof with appropriate tension through the door gap hook 20. After the roof longitudinal rod brackets 100 on both sides of the car roof are installed, several crossbars are added above the roof longitudinal rod bracket body 10 on both sides. The crossbars are used to pull the roof longitudinal rod bracket body 10 on both sides inward to prevent the roof longitudinal rod bracket body 10 from falling outward.
[0031] In this embodiment, the roof longitudinal bar bracket has multiple connecting holes 22 along its length on the door seam hook 20. When the door seam hook 20 is installed at different positions on the car roof, the installation length of the door seam hook 20 can be adjusted according to the distance between the car roof position and the gap formed between the door and the roof. This allows the roof longitudinal bar bracket body 10 to be stably installed on the roof with appropriate tension through the door seam hook 20. This improves the problem of uneven force on different positions of the car longitudinal bar caused by the non-adjustable installation length of the door frame clamp when the roof longitudinal bar bracket body 10 is installed by using a door frame clamp, which can easily damage the sealing strip at the gap between the door and the roof.
[0032] See attached document Figure 1 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 5 As shown, the connecting frame 30 includes an upper connecting plate 31 and a lower connecting plate 32. The upper connecting plate 31 extends vertically upward from the inner upper surface of the lower connecting plate 32. The upper connecting plate 31 and the lower connecting plate 32 form an "L"-shaped structure. Preferably, the upper connecting plate 31 and the lower connecting plate 32 are integrally molded. The upper connecting plate 31 has an upper mounting hole 34, and the lower connecting plate 32 has a lower mounting hole 35. The lower mounting hole 35 is used to mate with the connecting hole 22. That is, by inserting bolts and nuts into the lower mounting hole 35 and the connecting hole 22, the door seam hook 20 can be fixed on the connecting frame 30.
[0033] See attached document Figure 3 and attached Figure 5 As shown, the bottom end face of the lower connecting plate 32 is provided with vertically downward extending guard edges 33 on opposite sides parallel to the insertion direction of the door gap hook 20. The guard edges 33 can limit the door gap hook 20 after its upper end is inserted into the bottom end face of the lower connecting plate 32, preventing the door gap hook 20 from wobbling left and right.
[0034] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
