Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage rack technology, and in particular to a storage rack for the rear compartment of a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] As cars become an essential part of daily travel and life, the trunk (rear cargo area) is used more and more frequently as a space for storing and temporarily storing items. However, traditional trunk storage solutions suffer from problems such as items sliding around, fragmented space utilization, and inconvenience in retrieving items. Especially during long-distance travel or shopping trips, disorderly items can lead to rattling noises inside the car, damage to items, and even affect driving safety (e.g., heavy items shifting forward during sudden braking). Therefore, designing a storage rack that adapts to the trunk space and optimizes the storage experience has become an urgent need to improve the convenience and safety of car use.
[0003] Existing trunk storage racks are usually designed to maximize storage capacity without considering trunk access restrictions. They require tilting and disassembly to install, making the process cumbersome and prone to scratching the interior. Furthermore, they are difficult to adapt to different car trunk spaces after installation, are not securely fixed, and rely on manual alignment of the installation points and manual tightening of screws, making installation troublesome and unstable, and prone to loosening and shifting while driving. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems in the existing technology where rear cargo racks are usually designed to maximize storage capacity without considering the restrictions of the rear cargo compartment, requiring tilting and disassembly for placement, which is cumbersome and easily scratches the interior of the vehicle. Therefore, a rear cargo rack is proposed.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a rear cargo rack, comprising a U-shaped panel, with a storage box inside the U-shaped panel. Three square holes are provided on each of the two side walls of the U-shaped panel. Two partitions are installed inside the storage box. A cabinet is located inside the storage box and above the partitions. Two fixing plates are embedded and fixedly connected to one end of the cabinet. Drawers are embedded and slidably connected to both sides of the fixing plates. Mounting plates are fixedly connected to the surface of the cabinet near both sides. Two screw holes are provided on each of the inner side walls of the storage box near the mounting plates. Two L-shaped grooves are provided on the top of the storage box near both sides. Panels are embedded inside the L-shaped grooves, and the panels are fixedly connected to the cabinet. A mounting assembly is fixedly installed at the bottom of the U-shaped panel; a shock-absorbing assembly is fixedly installed inside the square holes.
[0006] Preferably, a bidirectional screw is rotatably connected to a bearing inside the mounting assembly near the center. One end of the bidirectional screw is rotatably connected to a ring plate bearing, and a drive motor is embedded and fixedly connected to the other end of the ring plate. The output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional screw. A movable plate is sleeved and threadedly connected to both ends of the bidirectional screw. A push rod is symmetrically fixedly connected to one side wall of the movable plate. The other end of the push rod passes through the ring plate and is slidably connected to it. A pressing plate is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod, and anti-slip pads are fixedly connected to the surface of the pressing plate.
[0007] Preferably, both ends of the movable plate are slidably connected to sliding rods, and both ends of the sliding rods are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ring plate.
[0008] Preferably, the shock absorption assembly includes lifting plates, each of which is located inside a square hole and is fixedly connected to the storage box. A soft pad is fixedly connected to the top of each lifting plate. A vertical rod is slidably connected through the center of the lifting plates and the soft pad on both sides. The connecting rod of the vertical rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the square hole. A spring is fitted on the surface of the vertical rod and below the lifting plate. A damper is installed at the bottom of the lifting plate at the center.
[0009] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to the surface of the drawer and near the center.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] 1. In this utility model, the storage rack is composed of modules such as a U-shaped plate, a storage box, and a box body. The size of a single module is smaller than the rear compartment entrance, so it can be easily placed into the rear compartment in sequence to avoid scratching. At the same time, through the precise docking of the L-shaped groove with the panel and the mounting plate with the screw hole, the modules can be initially fixed by insertion. With the help of manual or electric tightening of the screw hole screws, the overall assembly efficiency can be improved, thereby reducing the operation threshold.
[0012] 2. In this utility model, the drive motor drives the bidirectional screw to rotate, the moving plate slides along the slide bar, and the push rod links the extrusion plate to expand outward, automatically fitting the slot and anchor point on the side wall of the rear compartment. This can achieve the effect of installing and fixing the U-shaped plate without manual alignment. The anti-slip pad on the surface of the extrusion plate increases the friction, and together with the anchor point locking of the rear compartment, it can improve the fixing force, thereby preventing the storage rack from shifting during driving.

[0025] Working principle: The shelving unit is manually disassembled into three core modules: U-shaped panel 1, storage box 3, and box body 7. The dimensions of each module are strictly controlled, smaller than the width of a typical car trunk entrance. First, the U-shaped plate 1 is placed horizontally into the trunk, then the storage box 3 is inserted and embedded inside the U-shaped plate 1. Finally, the box body 7 is gently placed on top of the storage box. The entire process is seamless and takes only 1-2 minutes to insert the modules. The side panels 13 of the box body 7 are aligned with the L-shaped grooves 12 on the top of the storage box 3, inserted vertically, and then slid horizontally to lock, achieving the initial connection between the box body 7 and the storage box 3. The mounting plate 14 on the surface of the box body 7 fits against the inner wall of the storage box 3, with the pre-drilled holes on the mounting plate 14 aligned with the screw holes 8 of the storage box 3. The screws are tightened using a manual screwdriver or power tool to rigidly fix the modules, forming a complete storage rack frame. The drive motor 28 is activated via the control panel on the storage rack surface or a mobile app. The motor output drives the bidirectional screw 22 to rotate at approximately 50-100 r / min. As the bidirectional screw 22 rotates, the reverse threads at both ends of the surface drive... The movable plate 23 slides along the slide bar 24 to both sides. The movable plate 23 is linked with the push rod 25 to push the extrusion plate 26 out of the square hole 4 of the U-shaped plate 1. The anti-slip pad 27 on the surface of the extrusion plate 26 fits tightly with the slot and anchor point of the rear compartment side wall and applies continuous pressure to achieve mechanical locking between the shelf and the rear compartment. The automatic fixing is completed in 3-5 minutes, replacing manual alignment and screw tightening. When the vehicle is moving, the spring 55 absorbs low-frequency large-amplitude vibration, and the damper 53 attenuates high-frequency small-amplitude vibration, reducing the hard collision between the shelf and the rear compartment wall. The soft pad 52 covers the lifting plate 51 to further buffer the vibration transmission between the items and the shelf, protecting electronic equipment and fragile items. The partition 6 divides the storage box 3 into independent spaces. After large items are put in, the partition 6 limits the sliding. The drawer 10 is used to store small items. The handle 11 on the surface of the drawer 10 is designed so that it can be easily opened and closed even when the vehicle is bumpy, achieving classified and orderly storage. The reverse start drive motor 28 reverses the bidirectional screw 22, and the extrusion plate 26 retracts into the U-shaped plate 1, releasing the fixation to the rear compartment wall. The screws of the mounting plate 14 and the storage box 3 are unscrewed, and the box 7 is pulled out from the L-shaped groove 12. Each module is taken out in sequence for easy storage, cleaning, or use when changing vehicle models. The connection method is similar to that of a furniture drawer 10, with insertion and sliding lock. The tolerance is controlled within ±0.5mm to ensure accurate module docking and no shaking after assembly. The screw fixation provides a rigid connection.
[0026] The wiring diagrams of the drive motor 28 and damper 53 in this utility model are common knowledge in the field, and their working principles are known technologies. The appropriate model is selected according to actual use. Therefore, the control method and wiring layout of the drive motor 28 and damper 53 will not be explained in detail.
[0027] 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 other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
