Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a passenger vehicle decorative structure, specifically a luggage rack end docking structure. Background Technology

[0002] Luggage racks are used in the interior of passenger vehicles to store luggage. The ends of the luggage racks serve to provide safety protection, structural reinforcement, and aesthetic decoration.

[0003] It turns out that the luggage rack ends have a plug-in structure, which causes a difference in the installation surface; the end material is injection molded, while the profile is metal. Because the end and the aluminum profile are made of different materials and have different surface treatment processes, color differences are likely to occur, resulting in an inconsistent and uncoordinated product appearance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to improve the product appearance inconsistency of the luggage rack end, and to provide a new type of luggage rack end docking structure.

[0005] To solve the above problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] The luggage rack end-connecting structure includes an end and a profile that are connected together, and an end decorative piece is provided at the joint of the end and the profile;

[0007] The end includes an end body and a first screw hole provided on the end body;

[0008] The aforementioned end decorative component includes a decorative component, a nut plate is provided inside the decorative component, and at least one second screw hole is provided on the nut plate, with a first screw hole and one of the second screw holes connected by a bolt;

[0009] The profile includes a profile body, a fixing shim is provided on the profile body, a third screw hole is provided on the fixing shim, and the third screw hole is also connected to one of the second screw holes by bolts.

[0010] A positioning protrusion is provided on the end body, and a connecting plate is also provided inside the decorative part. A positioning hole is provided on the connecting plate, and the positioning protrusion is located in the positioning hole.

[0011] A connecting plate is provided on the end body, and the first screw hole and the positioning protrusion are both located on the connecting plate.

[0012] The end decorative piece is decorated with a custom pattern.

[0013] The profile is made of 6063 aluminum alloy, the end is made of PUR material, and the end decorative parts are made of ABS material.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following advantages: The end of the luggage rack in this utility model is a butt joint structure, eliminating installation surface differences. Decorative parts are designed at the butt joint position of the profiles, avoiding a direct comparison between the appearance of the profiles and the end, reducing the color difference requirements between the end and the profile, and ensuring a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing interior and exterior. Furthermore, weight limit signs, logos, or customer-customized content can be integrated into the decorative parts, enhancing the interior quality of the luggage rack. Attached Figure Description

[0015] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of the present invention;

[0016] Figure 2 for Figure 1 Exploded view;

[0017] Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the end decorative component. Detailed Implementation

[0018] 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.

[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model 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, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the luggage rack end docking structure includes an end 1 and a profile 2 that are docked together. An end decorative piece 3 is provided at the docking point of the end 1 and the profile 2, and a custom pattern 4 is provided on the end decorative piece 3.

[0021] Specifically, the end 1 includes an end body 11 and a first screw hole 12 and a positioning protrusion 13 disposed on the end body 11; the end decorative part 3 includes a decorative part 31, a nut plate 32 is disposed inside the decorative part 31, and at least one second screw hole 34 is disposed on the nut plate 32, and the first screw hole 12 and one of the second screw holes 34 are connected by bolts, thereby realizing the connection between the end 1 and the end decorative part 3.

[0022] In addition, a connecting plate 33 is provided inside the decorative part 31, and a positioning hole 35 is provided on the connecting plate 33. After assembly, the positioning protrusion 13 is located in the positioning hole 35.

[0023] The profile 2 includes a profile body 21, a fixing pad 22 is provided on the profile body 21, and a third screw hole is provided on the fixing pad 22. The third screw hole is also connected to one of the second screw holes 34 by bolts, thereby realizing the connection between the profile 2 and the end decorative part 3.

[0024] In other words, two second screw holes 34 are provided on the nut plate 32 of the end decorative piece 3. The two second screw holes 34 are respectively connected to the first screw hole 12 on the end 1 and the third screw hole on the profile 2. In this way, the end 1 and the profile 2 are connected at the end decorative piece 3. The end 1 and the end decorative piece 3, and the profile 2 and the end decorative piece 3 are fixed with self-tapping screws respectively. After the fit is made, there is no surface difference, the shape is consistent, and the aesthetics are high.

[0025] Furthermore, a connecting plate 14 is provided on the end body 11, and the first screw hole 12 and the positioning protrusion 13 are both provided on the connecting plate 14.

[0026] Furthermore, profile 2 is made of aluminum alloy 6063, and end 1 is made of PUR material.

[0027] Furthermore, the end decorative piece 3 is made of ABS material, with an overall high-gloss black finish that echoes the lampshade on the profile 2. The surface can be laser-engraved or screen-printed with patterns, enhancing its aesthetics. Additionally, the customized pattern 4 integrates safety slogans, weight limit signs, and other functional patterns.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0029] The newly designed luggage rack ends feature a butt joint structure, eliminating installation surface differences and improving the availability of known information about the luggage rack. A decorative end piece 3 is designed at the joint between end piece 1 and profile 2, avoiding a direct visual contrast between profile 2 and end piece 1 and reducing color difference requirements. Custom patterns 4 on the surface of the decorative end piece 3 can integrate weight limit markings, logos, or other customer-customized content into the decorative piece, using laser engraving to enhance the interior aesthetics and class of the luggage rack.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model.
