Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of RV awning bracket technology, and more specifically to a wiring protection structure for an awning bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle awnings are typically used on motorhomes. Specifically, the awning is installed on one side of the motorhome. Normally, the awning is folded, but it can be unfolded when needed to provide shade for the user's outdoor sun protection needs.

[0003] There is a type of awning support frame, such as Figure 4 As shown, the assembly includes a fixed frame 90, a swing arm frame 91, and a roller blind frame 92. The fixed frame 90 has a placement slot. One end of the swing arm frame 91 extends into the placement slot and is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 90. The roller blind frame 92 is rotatably connected to the swing arm frame 91. A rotary motor 93 is mounted on the roller blind frame 92, and a roller blind is rotatably mounted on the rotary motor 93. Both the swing arm frame 91 and the roller blind frame 92 have receiving slots 911. It should be noted that during assembly, the wire 95 is passed through the receiving slot 911 and then electrically connected to the rotary motor 93, and reference is made to... Figure 5 The bottom sidewall of the receiving groove 911 has an expansion groove 912. After the wire 95 passes through the receiving groove 911, it is engaged with the swing arm frame 91 or the roller shutter frame 92 by a plastic cover plate 94. The plastic cover plate 94 includes a cover part, a raised part, and a hook part 941. When inserted, the hook part 941 deforms under force. After the hook part 941 is aligned with the expansion groove 912, the hook part 941 returns to its pre-deformation state and extends into the expansion groove 912 to cover the wire 95, thus protecting the wire 95. However, when the wire 95 fails or ages and needs to be replaced, because the hook part 941 is stuck in the expansion groove 912, it is difficult to remove the plastic cover plate 94 naturally from the receiving groove 911. Forcibly removing the plastic cover plate 94 by external force can easily damage it.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a wiring protection structure for a sunshade bracket that is easier to remove from the self-contained slot. Summary of the Invention

[0014] In one or more embodiments of this application, the expansion groove has a guide extension end on the side near the heightening portion, the guide extension end has a third protrusion, and the third protrusion is located on the side of the narrowing portion near the heightening portion.

[0015] In one or more embodiments of this application, the guide extension end has a second arc surface on the side near the heightening portion.

[0016] In one or more embodiments of this application, both the first protrusion and the second protrusion have a pressing end.

[0025] The terms and words used in the following specification and claims are not limited to their literal meaning, but are used solely by the inventors to enable a clear and consistent understanding of this application. Therefore, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the following description of various embodiments of this application is provided for illustrative purposes only and not for the purpose of limiting the application as defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0026] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0027] While ordinal numbers such as "first," "second," etc., will be used to describe various components, there is no limitation on which components are used herein. The term is used only to distinguish one component from another. For example, a first component may be referred to as a second component, and similarly, a second component may be referred to as a first component, without departing from the teachings of the utility model concept. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0028] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing various embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the terms “comprising” and / or “having” as used in this specification specify the presence of the described features, numbers, steps, operations, components, elements or combinations thereof, without excluding the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, components, elements or groups thereof.

[0029] The schematic diagram shows the wiring protection structure of the awning bracket, for reference. Figures 1 to 3 According to a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, a wiring protection structure for a sunshade bracket is provided on the sunshade bracket. The sunshade bracket includes a plurality of rods 10, each rod 10 having a receiving groove 101, and the bottom side wall of the receiving groove 101 having an enlarged groove 102.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the wiring protection structure of the sunshade bracket also includes two cover plates 20. One end of one cover plate 20 has a first groove 201 and a first protrusion 202, and one end of the other cover plate 20 has a second groove 203 and a second protrusion 204. The first protrusion 202 extends into the second groove 203, and the second protrusion 204 extends into the first groove 201. The end of one cover plate 20 with the first protrusion 202 is rotatably connected to the end of the other cover plate 20 with the second protrusion 204. The other ends of both cover plates 20 have a raised portion 205, and the end of the raised portion 205 also has a hook portion 206 for extending into the expansion groove 102.

[0031] It should be noted that by rotating the two cover plates 20 together at their opposite ends, when placing or removing the cover plates 20 into or from the receiving groove 101, the two cover plates 20 can be arranged at an angle, thus shortening their overall width. This makes it easier for them to extend into or out of the receiving groove 101. Compared to the prior art where the cover plates 20 are integrally formed and can only temporarily shorten their overall width through the elasticity of their material, this application achieves an angled arrangement by dividing the cover plate 20 into two pieces and rotating them together. When the cover plate 20 is positioned horizontally, its overall width becomes shorter. However, when both cover plates 20 are horizontally arranged, their width becomes the same as that of the integrally formed cover plate 20. Compared to the passive shortening of the width in existing technologies, this application achieves an active and selective shortening of the width by rotating the two cover plates 20 together. Combined with the passive method of material elasticity, this makes it easier for the cover plate 20 to be removed from the receiving groove 101. This allows operators to tilt both cover plates 20 to remove them more easily and reduces the risk of damage when the wire malfunctions. Furthermore, the heightening portion 205 provides space for placing the wire; the hook portion 206, extending into the expansion groove 102, effectively reduces the risk of the cover plate 20 detaching from the receiving groove 101 in the height direction. It should be noted that the cover plate 20 is preferably made of plastic.

[0032] Furthermore, to achieve a rotatable connection between the two cover plates 20, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wiring protection structure of the sunshade bracket also includes a shaft 30. One end of the cover plate 20 with the first protrusion 202 and the other end of the cover plate 20 with the second protrusion 204 both have a rotating hole 207. The shaft 30 passes through the rotating holes 207 of the two cover plates 20.

[0033] Furthermore, to ensure that the two cover plates 20 are normally arranged horizontally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wiring protection structure of the sunshade bracket also includes a torsional elastic element 40, which is preferably a torsion spring. The two ends of the torsional elastic element 40 are respectively connected to the shaft 30 and the cover plate 20. It should be noted that under the torsional force of the torsional spring, the two cover plates 20 are normally arranged horizontally. When the two cover plates 20 are arranged at an angle, the torsional spring deforms under the torsional force.

[0034] Furthermore, to make the hook portion 206 more easily bend and deform under stress, such as Figure 3 As shown, the hook portion 206 has several material removal notches 2061 at one end near the raised portion 205. In this application, the material removal notches 2061 are semi-circular holes.

[0035] In addition, to increase the distance between the heightening portion 205 and the side wall of the receiving groove 101, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the heightening part 205 is inclined.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the expansion groove 102 has a guide extension end 1021 on the side near the heightening part 205, and the guide extension end 1021 has a third protrusion 1022.

[0037] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown, the guide extension end 1021 has a second arc surface 1023 on the side near the heightening part 205.

[0038] It should be noted that when the cover plate 20 is arranged at an angle, the hook portion 206 first contacts the third protrusion 1022 of the guide extension end 1021. At this time, the end of the hook portion 206 is bent at a predetermined angle away from the heightening portion 205 until the end of the hook portion 206 passes through the third protrusion 1022. The third protrusion 1022 returns to its state before deformation under its own elastic force. Then, the two cover plates 20 are lifted upward, and the end of the hook portion 206 contacts the second arc surface 1023 and is deformed by force. It then transitions along the second arc surface 1023 to the side wall of the receiving groove 101 and finally comes out from the side wall of the receiving groove 101.

[0039] In addition, to facilitate a smoother contact between the hook portion 206 and the third protrusion 1022, and to facilitate the deformation of the end of the hook portion 206 under stress, such as Figure 3As shown, the hook portion 206 has a narrowing portion 2062, and the narrowing portion 2062 has a first arc surface 2063 on the side near the heightening portion 205; in addition, the third protrusion 1022 is located on the side of the narrowing portion 2062 near the heightening portion 205.

[0040] Additionally, to provide a receiving space for the hook portion 206 when the cover plate 20 is arranged at an angle, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the bottom wall of the receiving groove 101 has a plurality of receiving notches 1011.

[0041] Furthermore, to facilitate the inclined arrangement of the two cover plates 20, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, both the first protrusion 202 and the second protrusion 204 have a pressing end 2021. It should be noted that when it is necessary to remove the wiring protection structure of the sunshade bracket, the user can apply a pressing force in opposite directions to the two pressing ends 2021, causing the other ends of the two cover plates 20 to flip in opposite directions at a predetermined angle.

[0042] In summary, the wiring protection structure of the sunshade bracket based on the embodiments of this application has been clarified, which provides advantages such as easier self-contained slot removal for the wiring protection structure of the sunshade bracket.

[0043] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The function and structural principle of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments, and any modifications or variations may be made to the implementation of the present invention without departing from these principles.
