This is especially suitable for station wagons and RVs with compact interior spaces.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle parts technology, specifically to a vehicle-mounted umbrella storage container. Background Technology

[0002] Although station wagons and motorhomes are positioned differently, they have a lot of overlap in the core scenario of "outdoor travel". The situations in which both are applicable often revolve around needs such as "nature exploration, family gatherings, and light adventures", and they can satisfy people's diverse imagination of outdoor life through complementary functions.

[0003] The interior space of a car is compact, and when traveling outdoors, rainy or snowy weather is inevitable, requiring the use of umbrellas. Traditional folding umbrellas tend to collect rainwater after being stored, which can lead to mold growth in the storage area. Therefore, straight umbrellas are often needed. A rack for hanging umbrellas needs to be added inside the car, making it difficult to limit the position of the umbrellas, and it is also inconvenient to collect and transfer the dripping rainwater. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a vehicle-mounted umbrella storage container.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vehicle-mounted umbrella storage bucket, comprising a bucket body, a storage cavity provided on the front of the bucket body, a rear cover providing a seal for the storage cavity on the back of the bucket body, several sets of ventilation holes provided on the top and left and right sides of the bucket body, a water collection frame provided at the bottom of the bucket body, the upper opening of the water collection frame communicating with the storage cavity, and a drain pipe provided below the water collection frame.

[0008] To facilitate the insertion of umbrellas into the bucket, this utility model is improved by providing a guide frame on the front of the bucket. The guide frame is flared, and the end of the guide frame closer to the bucket is smaller.

[0009] Preferably, the guide frame is further provided with an installation ring on the outer side of the end away from the barrel body, and the installation ring is provided with a plurality of sets of fixing holes.

[0010] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a vehicle-mounted umbrella storage container, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] This vehicle-mounted umbrella storage bin allows rainwater remaining on the surface of the umbrella to slide down along the umbrella surface after it is inserted into the storage chamber. The water then flows into the water collection frame through the through-structure between the bottom of the storage chamber and the water collection frame, preventing rainwater from directly contacting the interior of the vehicle.

[0013] The drain pipe under the water collection frame can be connected to a hose (such as extending to the outside of the vehicle or the wastewater tank) to direct the collected rainwater out, or the water collection frame can be disassembled and emptied periodically to completely solve the problem of water accumulation. It is especially suitable for station wagons and RVs with compact interior space.

[0014] The storage cavity of the bucket is a closed space, and its width and depth are adapted to most umbrellas (the length of a folding umbrella after storage, and the diameter of a straight umbrella). After insertion, the umbrella body is wrapped by the cavity wall, and lateral swaying is restricted.

[0015] The flared guide frame on the front not only makes it easy to quickly insert the umbrella (the opening is wider on the outside and narrower on the inside, guiding the umbrella tip to accurately enter the storage cavity), but its inner wall can also form a secondary limit for the umbrella handle or body. Combined with the depth of the storage cavity, the umbrella will not fall off even if the vehicle is violently bumpy.

[0016] The ventilation holes on the top and sides of the bucket form an air convection channel, which accelerates the air circulation in the storage chamber, helps the moisture on the umbrella surface evaporate, and reduces the risk of mold growth.

[0017] The ventilation holes are located on the non-front area to prevent rainwater from splashing out, combining ventilation and leak prevention, making it suitable for long-term storage of damp umbrellas. Attached Figure Description

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4A vehicle-mounted umbrella storage container includes a container body 1. The front of the container body 1 has a storage cavity, and the back of the container body 1 has a rear cover 2 that closes the storage cavity. Several sets of ventilation holes 3 are provided on the top and left and right sides of the container body 1. A water collection frame 4 is also provided at the bottom of the container body 1. The upper opening of the water collection frame 4 communicates with the storage cavity. A drain pipe 5 is also provided below the water collection frame 4. A guide frame 6 is also provided on the front of the container body 1. The guide frame 6 is trumpet-shaped. The end of the guide frame 6 closer to the container body 1 is smaller. An installation ring 7 is also provided on the outer side of the end of the guide frame 6 away from the container body 1. Several sets of fixing holes 8 are provided on the installation ring 7.

[0025] The flared guide frame 6 on the front of the barrel 1 provides guidance for inserting the umbrella - the opening of the guide frame 6 is larger on the outside and smaller on the inside (the outer diameter is adapted to the largest part of the umbrella handle, and the inner diameter matches the entrance of the storage cavity). Users can quickly put the umbrella (whether it is a folding umbrella or a straight umbrella) into the storage cavity without precise alignment, which is especially suitable for one-handed operation when holding items with both hands in the rain.

[0026] The back cover 2 on the back side of the bucket 1 provides limiting support. The rainwater remaining on the surface of the umbrella slides down the umbrella surface under the action of gravity and flows into the water collection frame 4 through the through-hole (such as a strip gap or mesh hole) at the bottom of the storage cavity and the water collection frame 4. The volume design of the water collection frame 4 can accommodate the dripping water of multiple umbrellas (usually 500-1000mL), preventing rainwater from overflowing to the outside of the bucket 1.

[0027] The drain pipe 5 below the water collection frame 4 can be connected to a flexible hose (such as a silicone hose) to guide rainwater to the outside of the vehicle (such as the door drain hole of a station wagon) or the wastewater tank of a motorhome, according to the needs of the vehicle model, to achieve "zero contact" drainage.

[0028] The width and depth of the storage cavity are designed according to common umbrella sizes (e.g., folding umbrellas are 20-30cm long when folded, and straight umbrellas are 3-5cm in diameter). After the umbrella body is inserted, it fits tightly against the cavity wall, limiting lateral movement. The inner wall of the guide frame 6 contacts the umbrella handle, further counteracting the radial force when the vehicle turns or bumps.

[0029] The ventilation holes 3 (3-5mm in diameter, 6-8 per group) on the top and left and right sides of the barrel 1 form a three-dimensional ventilation channel—the top holes exhaust humid air, and the side holes introduce dry air from the vehicle, accelerating the air circulation in the storage chamber and causing the moisture on the umbrella surface to evaporate quickly.

[0030] The ventilation holes 3 are distributed in the non-front area (top and left and right sides), and the holes are higher than the upper edge of the water collection frame 4 to prevent rainwater from splashing out of the holes and polluting the vehicle interior, while preventing external dust from falling directly into the storage cavity, thus combining ventilation and protection functions.

[0031] The mounting ring 7 on the outer side of the guide frame 6 is connected to the interior structure of the vehicle through the fixing hole 8. It can be fixed to hard surfaces such as the side wall of the trunk and the interior panel of the door with screws, or tied to the storage rack of the RV with cable ties. The installation position is flexible and does not occupy the core space of the vehicle (such as seats and storage boxes), which is suitable for the compact layout requirements of travel cars and RVs.
