Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle sunshade and rain protection technology, and in particular to an electric vehicle sunshade and rain protection canopy component. Background Technology
[0002] With the diversification of urban transportation options, electric vehicles have become widely used for daily commutes due to their convenience, economy, and environmental friendliness. However, the relatively simple structure of electric vehicles and the lack of comprehensive sunshade and rain protection functions result in a poor riding experience in inclement weather conditions. Therefore, various electric vehicle canopies and their storage devices have gradually appeared on the market, attempting to provide users with temporary shelter and improve riding comfort and safety.
[0003] Existing canopy installations typically involve fixing brackets directly to the electric vehicle frame, using screws, clips, and other components to unfold and install the canopy, or folding it into a storage box. These structures usually fix the canopy storage box to the rear or side of the electric vehicle, achieving the pull-out and unfolding functions through a simple structure. Installation often relies on directly inserting bolts or clips for positioning and fixation, resulting in a relatively rigid overall structure with limited adaptability. Furthermore, crossbars or support rods are used to connect the front and rear of the vehicle to form a stable canopy structure.
[0004] However, existing technologies still present numerous inconveniences during installation and use, particularly when installing the storage box. The lack of a standardized installation interface for electric vehicles of different sizes or structures leads to unstable mounting or installation difficulties. Furthermore, the storage structure is often an integrated design, lacking flexible adjustment and adaptability, thus affecting its versatility across different vehicle models. Therefore, the current solutions suffer from low installation efficiency and poor adaptability when dealing with storage boxes of different electric vehicle structures, requiring further optimization. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an electric vehicle sunshade and rain cover assembly to improve the inconvenience of installing storage boxes on electric vehicles of different sizes, thereby facilitating flexible adjustment of the storage box.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an electric vehicle sunshade and rainproof canopy assembly, which is used to be installed on the electric vehicle body, comprising:
[0007] A storage box connecting assembly is disposed on the electric vehicle body;
[0008] A storage box, which is rotatably connected to the storage box connecting assembly;
[0009] A scissor-shaped bracket, one end of which is connected to the inside of the storage box, and the other end of which is connected to the side of the electric vehicle body away from the storage box;
[0010] The canopy is located on one side of the scissor-shaped bracket and can retract into the storage box or extend out of the storage box along with the scissor-shaped bracket.
[0011] In some possible implementations, the storage box connection assembly includes a first mounting rod and a fixing plate vertically connected to the first mounting rod, the first mounting rod being connected to the electric vehicle body, and the storage box being rotatably connected to the fixing plate.
[0012] In some possible implementations, the storage box is disposed on one side of the fixed plate and is rotatably connected to the fixed plate via a pivot.
[0013] In some possible implementations, the fixing plate has an arc-shaped groove concentric with the rotating shaft, and the storage box connecting assembly further includes a fastening bolt and a wing nut. The fastening bolt passes through the arc-shaped groove, and the wing nut is threadedly connected to the fastening bolt.
[0014] In some possible implementations, the storage box connecting assembly further includes a fixing rod and a clamping assembly connecting the fixing rod to the first mounting rod, wherein the first mounting rod is connected to the electric vehicle body via the fixing rod.
[0015] In some possible implementations, the clamping assembly includes a mounting sleeve, a mounting plate, a clamping plate, and a clamping plate adjusting assembly. The mounting plate engages with the mounting sleeve to form a receiving space. The clamping plate is movably disposed on one side of the mounting plate and housed within the receiving space via the clamping plate adjusting assembly. The fixing rod and the first mounting rod are disposed within the receiving space and clamped by the clamping plate and the inner wall of the mounting sleeve.
[0016] In some possible implementations, the clamp adjustment assembly includes an adjustment bolt and a limiting plate, the limiting plate being rotatably disposed in the clamp, and the adjustment bolt passing through the mounting plate and connected to the limiting plate by means of a bolt connection.
[0017] In some possible implementations, the outer wall of the mounting sleeve is provided with a buckle, and the mounting plate is provided with a hook that engages with the buckle.
[0018] On the other hand, the scissor-shaped bracket is connected to the electric vehicle body via a support assembly. The support assembly includes a crossbar and a second mounting rod connected to the crossbar. The scissor-shaped bracket is rotatably connected to the crossbar, and the second mounting rod is connected to the electric vehicle body.
[0019] In some possible implementations, a limiting sleeve is fixed to the bottom of the crossbar, and a limiting rod is fixed to the top of the second mounting rod. The limiting sleeve is fitted onto the limiting rod and can rotate relative to the limiting rod.
[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] 1. This storage box installation structure, through the combination design of a fixed rod and a first mounting rod, along with a connecting component consisting of a mounting sleeve, buckles, and hooks, enables quick positioning and secure connection of the storage box to the electric vehicle body. It also allows for flexible adjustment of the connection tightness by adjusting the bolts to push the mounting plate and the first mounting rod together, adapting to different working conditions and enhancing structural stability. Simultaneously, the buckle and hook engagement structure facilitates quick disassembly and maintenance. The pivot connects the fixed plate and the storage box, allowing the storage box to rotate. In the non-working state, the storage box is vertical to reduce riding resistance and lateral volume; in the working state, the storage box is horizontal to facilitate the unfolding of the folding canopy component from the rear of the vehicle to the front. The limiting component prevents connection failure caused by over-adjustment of the adjusting bolts. The overall structure balances installation stability, adjustment flexibility, and ease of operation, effectively meeting the practical needs of a canopy storage box on an electric vehicle.
[0022] 2. In this utility model, the mounting sleeve is first installed on the outer wall of the fixing rod and the first mounting rod. One side of the mounting plate is embedded into the buckle through the hook. When the adjusting bolt is rotated, the clamping plate is driven to fit against the outer wall of the first mounting rod through the limiting plate, which achieves the effect of facilitating the installation of the canopy storage box. This solves the problem of inconvenience when installing storage boxes for electric vehicles of different sizes and improves the convenience of installing the storage box.
[0023] 3. In this utility model, the scissor-shaped bracket is supported on one side by a crossbar. Then, the scissor-shaped bracket is pulled out from the storage box and pulled from the rear to the front of the vehicle. Then, the second mounting rod is installed at the rearview mirror of the electric vehicle body. Then, the bottom of the crossbar is fixed on the limiting rod by a limiting sleeve, which achieves the effect of facilitating the fixing of the scissor-shaped bracket. This solves the problem that the scissor-shaped bracket is not easy to install and fix when it is pulled out, and improves the practicality of the scissor-shaped bracket when it is pulled out.
[0024] 4. This electric vehicle sunshade and rain shelter adopts the aforementioned storage box installation structure, which inherits the advantages of its stable installation, flexible adjustment, and rotatable storage box. When not in use, the storage box can be rotated to a vertical position to reduce riding resistance and space occupation. It also achieves sunshade and rain protection functions with the help of the scissor-shaped bracket inside the storage box. The design of the scissor-shaped bracket makes it easy to quickly fold and store the canopy components in the storage box. When unfolded, the extension of the scissor-shaped bracket can smoothly unfold the crossbar and canopy from the rear of the vehicle to the front, ensuring sufficient coverage area. The overall structure takes into account the practicality of sunshade and rain protection, the convenience of storage and unfolding, and the reliability of connection with the electric vehicle body, effectively improving the comfort of using the electric vehicle in different weather conditions.

[0034] 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.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, this utility model provides an electric vehicle sunshade and rain shelter assembly, which is used to be installed on the electric vehicle body 1, and includes:
[0036] The storage box connecting component is set on the electric vehicle body 1 and is used to support and fix the storage structure of the sunshade and rain shelter to ensure installation stability.
[0037] Storage box 6, which is rotatably connected to the storage box connecting assembly, is used to accommodate the canopy and support structure when not in use, so as to reduce space occupation;
[0038] The scissor-type bracket 7 has one end connected to the inside of the storage box 6 to enable the canopy to be extended and retracted, and the other end connected to the side of the electric vehicle body 1 away from the storage box 6 to provide remote support and ensure the tension and stability of the canopy structure after it is extended.
[0039] The canopy, located on one side of the scissor-shaped bracket 7, serves as a sunshade or rainproof covering structure. It can retract into the storage box 6 or extend out of the storage box 6 along with the scissor-shaped bracket 7, thus achieving an adjustable canopy function for providing shade.
[0040] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the storage box connecting assembly includes a first mounting rod 3 and a fixing plate 4 vertically connected to the first mounting rod 3. The first mounting rod 3 is connected to the rear seat of the electric vehicle body 1 and serves as a connecting intermediary, providing a stable support base for the overall structure. The storage box 6 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 4, enabling the storage box 6 to rotate and adjust its angle for easy operation or folding. The storage box 6 is located on one side of the fixing plate 4 and is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 4 via a rotating shaft 5. The rotating shaft 5 serves as a rotation pivot, ensuring the stability and reliability of the storage box 6's rotation in the vertical plane. The fixing plate 4 has an arc-shaped groove 15 concentrically arranged with the rotating shaft 5. The arc-shaped groove 15 restricts the rotation path of the storage box 6 and provides a guiding function. The storage box connecting assembly also includes a fastening bolt 16 and a wing nut 17. The fastening bolt 16 passes through the arc-shaped groove 15 and is used to lock the rotation angle of the storage box after adjustment to prevent deviation during use. The wing nut 17 is threadedly connected to the fastening bolt 16, facilitating manual tightening or disassembly and improving adjustment convenience. The storage box connection assembly also includes a fixing rod 2 and a clamping assembly connecting the fixing rod 2 and the first mounting rod 3. The fixing rod 2 enhances the structural connection strength, and the clamping assembly ensures a stable connection between the fixing rod 2 and the first mounting rod 3. The clamping assembly includes a mounting sleeve 8, a mounting plate 10, a clamping plate 14, and a clamping plate adjustment assembly. The mounting plate 10 engages with the mounting sleeve 8 to form a receiving space, which is used to install and clamp the rods, ensuring they do not shift. The clamping plate 14 is movably positioned on one side of the mounting plate 10 and housed within the receiving space via the clamping plate adjustment assembly, achieving adjustable clamping force. The fixing rod 2 and the first mounting rod 3 are positioned within the receiving space and clamped by the clamping plate 14 and the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 8, forming a fixed connection of the overall structure, ensuring stability and shock resistance during component operation. The clamping plate adjustment assembly includes an adjusting bolt 12 and a limiting plate 13. The limiting plate 13 is rotatably mounted in the clamping plate 14, allowing the clamping plate 14 to rotate or be finely adjusted within a certain range to adapt to different installation requirements. The adjusting bolt 12 passes through the mounting plate 10 and connects to the limiting plate 13 via bolt connection, used to precisely control the clamping force of the clamping plate 14, facilitating quick assembly / disassembly or angle adjustment. The outer wall of the mounting sleeve 8 is provided with a buckle 9 to provide an external quick connection point and improve assembly efficiency. The mounting plate 10 is provided with a hook 11 that engages with the buckle 9, and the hook 11 cooperates with the buckle 9 to achieve the positioning and anti-fall-off function of the mounting plate 10.
[0041] like Figures 5 to 7As shown, the front of the scissor-type bracket 7 is connected to the handlebars or rearview mirror of the electric vehicle body 1 via a support assembly, and the rear of the scissor-type bracket 7 is connected to the interior of the storage box 6. The scissor-type bracket 7 requires stable support during extension and retraction, and the support assembly provides structural support and installation positioning. The support assembly includes a crossbar 20 and a second mounting rod 18 connected to the crossbar 20. The crossbar 20 provides the installation reference for the scissor-type bracket 7, and the second mounting rod 18 securely connects the crossbar 20 to the electric vehicle body 1. The scissor-type bracket 7 is rotatably connected to the crossbar 20, allowing for some angle adjustment when deployed or retracted. The second mounting rod 18 connects to the electric vehicle body 1 to support the overall structure of the entire sunshade and rain shelter assembly, improving installation stability. A limit sleeve 21 is fixed to the bottom of the crossbar 20 to limit its rotational position within a specific range, ensuring that the scissor-type bracket 7 will not dislocate or become structurally unstable due to excessive rotation when deployed. A limiting rod 19 is fixed to the top of the second mounting rod 18. The limiting rod 19 cooperates with the limiting sleeve 21 to further limit the rotation range of the crossbar 20, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire support assembly. The limiting sleeve 21 is fitted on the limiting rod 19 and can rotate relative to the limiting rod 19, so that the support assembly has a structural limiting function while maintaining a certain degree of freedom, which helps to achieve the smooth extension and folding and fixation of the scissor bracket 7.
[0042] When using the electric vehicle sunshade and rain cover, the first mounting rod 3 is first installed at the rear of the electric vehicle body 1, with the first mounting rod 3 resting against the outer wall of the fixed rod 2. Then, the mounting sleeve 8 is fitted onto the outer wall of the fixed rod 2 and the first mounting rod 3. Next, one side of the mounting plate 10 is inserted into the buckle 9 through the hook 11. Then, when the adjusting bolt 12 is rotated, the clamping plate 14 is driven to adhere to the outer wall of the first mounting rod 3 through the limiting plate 13. After the mounting sleeve 8 and the mounting plate 10 are fastened together, the clamping plate 14 adheres to the outer wall of the first mounting rod 3 and is fixed, thus achieving the effect of facilitating the installation of the storage box 6.
[0043] During the unfolding of the roof, one side of the scissor-shaped bracket 7 is supported by the crossbar 20. The scissor-shaped bracket 7 is pulled out from the storage box 6 and pulled from the rear to the front of the vehicle. Then, the second mounting rod 18 is installed at the rearview mirror of the front of the electric vehicle body 1. The bottom of the crossbar 20 is then fixed on the limiting rod 19 by the limiting sleeve 21, thereby achieving the purpose of supporting and fixing the roof and facilitating the fixing of the scissor-shaped bracket 7.
[0044] During the ceiling storage process, the limiting sleeve 21 is separated from the limiting rod 19. The ceiling is then folded into the storage box 6 via the scissor-type bracket 7. The storage box 6 then rotates on the side of the fixing plate 4 via the pivot 5, so that both the storage box 6 and the fixing plate 4 are vertically aligned (e.g., ...). Figure 7(As shown), the storage box 6 is then limited in the arc groove 15 by the fastening bolt 16, and then locked by screwing the wing nut 17 into the fastening bolt 16.
[0045] In the non-working state, the storage box 6 is vertical and parallel to the fixing plate 4. This not only reduces the lateral space occupied, but also fits the overall outline of the electric vehicle body more closely, reducing the risk of being snagged by external objects during riding. At the same time, in the vertical state, the center of gravity of the storage box 6 is closer to the electric vehicle body 1, which can reduce swaying during riding and improve structural stability. In the working state, when it is horizontal, it is conducive to the unfolding of the canopy assembly. In the horizontal state, the distance and angle between the storage box and the ground are more suitable for the weight distribution of the canopy assembly, which can reduce the additional stress on the scissor-type bracket during unfolding and extend the service life of the canopy assembly.
[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
