They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this application.
[0033] Example 1:
[0034] This embodiment provides a roof-mounted mounting bracket, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 9 As shown, the device includes a fixed base 1 and a clamping plate assembly 2. The fixed base 1 has a sliding groove 3 and a sliding member 4. The sliding member 4 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 3, and the clamping plate assembly 2 is rotatably connected to the sliding member 4. When the clamping plate assembly 2 is extended, it can rotate relative to the sliding member 4. When the clamping plate assembly 2 is retracted, at least a portion of the lower surface of the clamping plate assembly 2 on both sides of the sliding member 4 is in contact with the upper surface of the fixed base 1. That is, rotation of the clamping plate assembly 2 to both sides is blocked, and the clamping plate assembly 2 cannot rotate relative to the sliding member 4.
[0035] With the cooperation of the slide groove 3 and the sliding member 4, the fixed base 1 and the clamping plate assembly 2 can slide relative to each other, allowing the clamping plate assembly 2 to extend outward for easy user operation. The clamping plate assembly 2 is rotatably connected to the sliding member 4. When the sliding member 4 slides to the edge of the fixed base 1, one side of the clamping plate assembly 2 is no longer in contact with the fixed base 1. That is, the clamping plate assembly 2 can rotate towards this side without being obstructed. The clamping plate assembly 2 can rotate relative to the sliding member 4, causing the clamping plate assembly 2 to tilt downward for easy user to fix skis, surfboards, fishing rods, etc.
[0036] In this embodiment, the sliding member 4 is a pulley, which is located in the middle of the clamping plate assembly 2, and the pulley provides good support for the clamping plate assembly 2.
[0037] For the clamp assembly 2 to be reliable, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the clamping plate assembly 2 includes an upper clamping plate 15 and a lower clamping plate 16, which are hinged together. The upper clamping plate 15 is provided with a locking member 17 at one end away from the hinge point. The locking member 17 is provided with at least one hook 18. The lower clamping plate 16 is provided with a button 19 and a locking block 20. The hook 18 cooperates with the locking block 20, and the button 19 is used to push the locking block 20 to disengage from the hook 18. In this embodiment, three hooks 18 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom, which can realize multi-level adjustment, making it easy to securely install skis, surfboards, fishing rods, etc. of different thicknesses, or to facilitate the stacking of two pieces for more secure and reliable fixation, while improving the user experience; the locking block 20 adopts torsion springs, two torsion springs are arranged and located on both sides of the button 19 respectively. One end of the torsion spring is attached to the button 19, and the other end of the torsion spring is attached to the lower clamping plate 16. The two torsion springs are connected by a rod 29. The hooks 18 are locked into the rod 29. When the button 19 is pressed, the button 19 moves the rod 29 away from the hooks 18, so that the rod 29 is disengaged from the hooks 18 to unlock.
[0038] To secure items reliably, such as Figure 5 As shown, the upper clamping plate 15 is provided with a first rubber pad 21, and the lower clamping plate 16 is provided with two second rubber pads 22, with the first rubber pad 21 located between the two second rubber pads 22. The first rubber pad 21 and the second rubber pad 22 form a three-point fixation, which makes the fixation of skis, surfboards, fishing rods, etc. more stable. In this embodiment, both the first rubber pad 21 and the second rubber pad 22 are hollow structures, which are more conducive to compression, improve the fit with skis, surfboards, fishing rods, etc., and make the fixation more secure. At the same time, it can prevent damage to skis, surfboards, fishing rods, etc. After compression, the first rubber pad 21 and the second rubber pad 22 expand to both sides, increasing the contact area with skis, surfboards, fishing rods, etc.
[0039] To ensure reliable sliding of clamp assembly 2, such as Figure 13 As shown, the fixed base 1 is provided with a slider 5, which is slidably connected to the slide groove 3. The lower clamping plate 16 is connected to the slider 5 through a connecting plate 6. One end of the connecting plate 6 is rotatably connected to the slider 5, and the other end of the connecting plate 6 is rotatably connected to the lower clamping plate 16. The slide groove 3 is provided with a first notch 7 for the connecting plate 6 to extend out. When the clamping plate assembly 2 is extended, at least part of the connecting plate 6 extends out of the first notch 7. In this embodiment, when the clamping plate assembly 2 is retracted, the connecting plate 6 is located on the slide groove 3; the slider 5 is located next to the sliding member 4. The slider 5 cooperates with the slide groove 3 to make the sliding of the clamping plate assembly 2 more stable; the connecting plate 6 is used to connect the clamping plate assembly 2 and the fixed base 1, making the relative rotation of the clamping plate assembly 2 and the fixed base 1 more stable; when the clamping plate assembly 2 and the fixed base 1 rotate relative to each other, the connecting plate 6 needs to extend outward. The design of the first notch 7 facilitates the extension of the connecting plate 6 outward. Compared with the design of having the connecting plate 6 extend outward without avoiding the slide groove 3, the overall width can be reduced and the volume can be made smaller.
[0040] To ensure reliable sliding of the clamping plate assembly 2, the lower clamping plate 16 is provided with first guide blocks 8 at both ends. The first guide blocks 8 are slidably connected to the slide groove 3, and the slide groove 3 is provided with a second notch 9 for the first guide blocks 8 to extend out. The length of the second notch 9 is less than the length of the slider 5. The cooperation between the first guide blocks 8 and the slide groove 3 makes the sliding of the clamping plate assembly 2 more stable. The first guide blocks 8 are located at both ends, which makes the clamping plate assembly 2 more stable and secure at both ends when it is stored. The design of the second notch 9 allows the first guide blocks 8 to rotate to the outside through the second notch 9 when the clamping plate assembly 2 and the fixed base 1 rotate relative to each other, preventing the first guide blocks 8 from blocking the rotation of the clamping plate assembly 2 in the slide groove 3. The length of the second notch 9 is less than the length of the slider 5, which prevents the slider 5 from sliding out when passing through the second notch 9, ensuring reliable movement of the slider 5 on the slide groove 3.
[0041] To ensure reliable storage of the clamping plate assembly 2, the fixed base 1 is provided with a locking plate 10, and the lower clamping plate 16 is provided with a locking buckle 11. When the clamping plate assembly 2 is stored, the locking plate 10 and the locking buckle 11 cooperate to fix the clamping plate assembly 2 to the locking plate 10 after storage, preventing the clamping plate assembly 2 from sliding and ensuring reliable storage of the clamping plate assembly 2. When the clamping plate assembly 2 needs to extend, it can slide freely by simply opening the locking buckle 11.
[0042] In this embodiment, the latch 11 includes a latch 25 and a keyhole 26. The keyhole 26 is located at the end of the lower clamping plate 16 away from the hinge point. The latch plate 10 is provided with a locking hole 28, which cooperates with the latch 25. In the locked state, the latch 25 passes through the locking hole 28 and abuts against the back of the latch plate 10, thereby preventing the lower clamping plate 16 from moving. The latch plate 10 extends out of the fixed base 1, which serves as a rotation limit for the lower clamping plate 16. After the lower clamping plate 16 tilts downward into place, the latch plate 10 is in contact with the lower surface of the lower clamping plate 16.
[0043] To ensure reliable sliding of clamp assembly 2, such as Figure 3 As shown, the locking plate 10 is located at one end of the fixed base 1, and the other end of the fixed base 1 is provided with a first stop 12. When the clamping plate assembly 2 is in the retracted state, the first stop 12 is in contact with the lower clamping plate 16; as Figure 8 As shown, the lower clamping plate 16 is provided with a second stop 13. When the clamping plate assembly 2 is extended, the second stop 13 is in contact with the locking plate 10. The design of the first stop 12 can prevent the lower clamping plate 16 from sliding out from this end of the fixed base 1, ensuring the reliability of the clamping plate assembly 2 in the retracted state. The second stop 13 cooperates with the locking plate 10, so that the lower clamping plate 16 can control the distance of its outward extension. When the second stop 13 is in contact with the locking plate 10, it is the maximum extension distance of the lower clamping plate 16, which is also the rotation position of the lower clamping plate 16. This limits the extension of the lower clamping plate 16 beyond its range, making it easier for the lower clamping plate 16 to move to the rotation position, and making the rotation simpler and more reliable.
[0044] In this embodiment, the first stop 12 is an end cap, the width of which is the same as the width of the fixed base 1; the locking plate 10 is located between the two slide grooves 3, and the width of the locking plate 10 is not greater than the minimum distance between the two slide grooves 3, so as to ensure the smooth operation of the components inside the slide grooves 3.
[0045] To ensure reliable sliding of the clamping plate assembly 2, a second guide block 14 is provided on the lower clamping plate 16. The second guide block 14 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 3 and is located next to the sliding member 4. The second guide block 14 cooperates with the sliding groove 3 to make the sliding of the clamping plate assembly 2 more stable; the second guide block 14 is located next to the sliding member 4 and cooperates with the sliding member 4 to make the sliding of the sliding member 4 more stable.
[0046] In this embodiment, the slider 4 is located between the second guide block 14 and the slider 5 to ensure reliable sliding of the slider 4. The end of the first guide block 8 facing the first stop 12 and the end of the second guide block 14 facing the first stop 12 are both arrow-shaped, which facilitates the first guide block 8 and the second guide block 14 to enter the slide groove 3 from the outside of the slide groove 3 or to move from the inside of the slide groove 3 to the outside of the slide groove 3.
[0047] To ensure reliable sliding of the clamping plate assembly 2, two slide grooves 3 are provided, symmetrically arranged. Correspondingly, the sliding member 4, slider 5, first guide block 8, and second guide block 14 are also symmetrically arranged on the two slide grooves 3; the openings of the slide grooves 3 face the center. The symmetrical arrangement of the two slide grooves 3 makes the movement of the clamping plate assembly 2 more stable and provides better support. The center-facing openings of the slide grooves 3 restrict the movement of the clamping plate assembly 2 along the width and height directions of the fixed base 1.
[0048] In this embodiment, the fixed base 1 is provided with a downward-opening slot 27. When the clamping plate assembly 2 is in the stored state, one side of the slot 27 is located outside the fixed base 1, which provides good protection for the fixed base 1 and can reduce rainwater from entering the fixed base 1 from both sides. The other side of the slot 27 is located on the opening side of the slide groove 3, which plays a blocking role and can prevent the sliding member 4, the slider 5, the first guide block 8 and the second guide block 14 from coming out of the opening side of the slide groove 3. The sliding member 4, the connecting plate 6, the first guide block 8 and the second guide block 14 are all connected to the slot wall of the slot 27.
[0049] To ensure a reliable connection with the roof, the fixed base 1 is equipped with a cam handle 23, the connecting end of which extends out of the bottom surface of the fixed base 1; a spacer 24 is fitted onto the connecting end of the cam handle 23. The cam handle 23 facilitates easy connection to the roof; simply pressing down on the handle end of the cam handle 23 brings the connecting end of the cam handle 23 closer to the fixed base 1, thus achieving clamping and fixation. The operation is simple and convenient. The spacer 24 reduces direct friction between the roof rack and the lower clamping plate 16, and also facilitates the pressing between the connecting end of the cam handle 23 and the lower tube 16.
[0050] like Figure 14 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixed base 1 is provided with a groove 30, and the handle end of the cam handle 23 is located in the groove 30. The cam handle 23 is hidden in the groove 30, which is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also prevents the lower clamping plate 16 from colliding with the handle end of the cam handle 23 when sliding, ensuring that the handle end of the cam handle 23 will not be accidentally opened or loosened, thus making it safer. A drain hole 31 is provided on the groove wall of the groove 30 to prevent rainwater from accumulating in the groove 30. An installation window 32 is provided on the lower clamping plate 16. When the clamping plate assembly 2 is in the retracted state, the installation window 32 is located directly above the cam handle 23. Only the upper clamping plate 15 needs to be opened to operate the cam handle 23, making it convenient to install the roof bracket onto the roof when the clamping plate assembly 2 is in the retracted state. Figure 5 As shown, the fixed base 1 is provided with a boss 33, which is located between two slide grooves 3. The boss 33 can limit the movement of the components inside the slide grooves 3 on both sides.
[0051] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, when in use, after the user unlocks the latch 11, the clamp assembly 2 can be pulled outward as a whole. After the clamp assembly 2 is pulled out into place, the clamp assembly 2 is rotated downward to tilt the clamp assembly 2 relative to the fixed base 1. Then, the button 19 is pressed to open the upper clamp 15.
[0052] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
