[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a tailgate extension device that is more robust in structure, easy to assemble and disassemble, and applicable to a wider range of scenarios, so as to enhance the vehicle's extension capabilities in outdoor scenarios such as camping. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This utility model aims to solve the problems of complex structure, poor stability and limited use of existing vehicle tailgate attachment extension devices, and provides a vehicle attachment suspension bracket that is simple in structure, easy to install, foldable and easy to store, and suitable for a variety of extension accessories.

[0006] This utility model embodiment also proposes a vehicle having the above-mentioned vehicle attachment suspension bracket.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A vehicle attachment suspension bracket is provided, including a crossbar, a first longitudinal bar, a second longitudinal bar, and connecting members. Connecting members are respectively provided at both ends of the crossbar. One end of the first and second longitudinal bars is rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting members. The bracket has a folded state and an unfolded state.

[0008] In the folded state, the first and second longitudinal bars are arranged parallel to the crossbar;

[0009] In the unfolded state, the first and second longitudinal bars are arranged perpendicular to the crossbar and are used to suspend the extension attachments.

[0010] This technical solution uses a combination of crossbars and rotatable first and second longitudinal bars to allow the bracket to be folded and stored when not in use, saving space; when in use, it can be quickly unfolded to form a stable suspension structure, which can be used to install extension accessories such as tents, tarps, sunshades, mosquito nets, projection screens, and shower curtains, significantly improving the functionality and practicality of the vehicle in camping, leisure and other scenarios.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the first and second longitudinal bars is connected by a crossbar and connectors at both ends, forming a structural unit. This effectively suppresses lateral swaying of the first and second longitudinal bars along the length of the crossbar, thereby improving the lateral stability of the entire support. The crossbar not only serves as a connector and support but also acts as a direct suspension bracket for the extension accessories, bearing the main load-bearing function and making the arrangement of the extension accessories more organized and the load-bearing capacity more reliable.

[0012] According to one embodiment of this utility model, the crossbar and / or the connector are detachably connected to the vehicle tailgate. This structure allows the bracket to be easily and quickly installed and removed without requiring permanent modifications to the vehicle, thus enhancing its adaptability.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the crossbar and / or connector is provided with a second mounting structure for detachably connecting to a first mounting structure provided on the vehicle tailgate.

[0014] According to one embodiment of this utility model, the first mounting structure and the second mounting structure are detachably connected by a snap-fit ​​connection, a sliding fit, or a quick-lock connection. This connection method is simple to operate, allows for tool-free installation and removal, improves efficiency, and is suitable for rapid outdoor deployment needs.

[0015] According to one embodiment of this utility model, the first and second longitudinal rods are staggered relative to the connecting member to avoid interference between them in the folded state.

[0016] According to one embodiment of this utility model, a locking member is provided between the connecting member and the first longitudinal rod and / or the second longitudinal rod. The locking member is used to restrict the rotation of the first longitudinal rod and / or the second longitudinal rod relative to the connecting member in the locked state. This structure improves the structural stability in the deployed state, prevents accidental swinging of the rods during use, and enhances safety.

[0017] According to one embodiment of this utility model, a rotating seat is provided at one end of the first longitudinal rod and / or the second longitudinal rod, and a fixed seat is provided on the connecting member to cooperate with it. The rotating seat is rotatably connected to the fixed seat. This arrangement helps to control the rotation angle, facilitates limiting and structural integration, and improves the mechanical performance of the support.

[0018] According to one embodiment of this utility model, one of the rotating seat and the fixed seat is provided with a fan-shaped limiting groove, and the other is provided with a limiting block. The limiting block and the limiting groove are connected by a sliding limiting engagement.

[0044] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. Example

[0045] like Figures 2 to 14 As shown, this embodiment discloses a vehicle attachment suspension bracket 1, including a crossbar 11, a first longitudinal bar 13, a second longitudinal bar 14, and connecting members 12. Connecting members 12 are respectively provided at both ends of the crossbar 11. One end of the first longitudinal bar 13 and the second longitudinal bar 14 are rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting member 12. The vehicle attachment suspension bracket 1 has a folded state and an unfolded state.

[0046] Combination Figure 2 As shown, in the folded state, the first vertical bar 13 and the second vertical bar 14 are arranged parallel to the horizontal bar 11, which facilitates storage and carrying;

[0047] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in the unfolded state, the first vertical bar 13 and the second vertical bar 14 are arranged perpendicularly to the horizontal bar 11 and are used to suspend the extension accessory 4, such as a tent, canopy, projection screen, mosquito curtain or shower curtain, etc.

[0048] Furthermore, the vehicle-mounted suspension bracket 1 expands the functionality of the vehicle's rear space, making it suitable for various outdoor scenarios such as camping, movie watching, bathing, and sunshade. The bracket has a simple structure and a reasonable layout, allowing for quick deployment and restoration to its original state, facilitating flexible operation by the user.

[0049] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the bracket is installed on the vehicle tailgate 3. When in use, the vehicle tailgate 3 is opened, and the first longitudinal bar 13 and the second longitudinal bar 14 rotate and unfold along a plane parallel to the tailgate 3, with their free ends extending towards the rear of the vehicle body 2 to form an extension area. The extension attachments 4 are respectively hung between the first longitudinal bar 13 and the second longitudinal bar 14, arranged flat and with uniform force.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, the two connectors 12 are detachably connected to two locations on the vehicle tailgate 3. This structure improves the versatility and flexibility of the overall structure, making it easy for users to quickly assemble when needed and conveniently disassemble and store when not in use, without requiring permanent modifications to the vehicle tailgate 3.

[0051] Furthermore, in combination Figure 4 As shown, the connector 12 is provided with a second mounting structure 16, and a first mounting structure 15 is fixedly installed at two locations on the vehicle tailgate 3. The first mounting structure 15 and the second mounting structure 16 are detachably connected. In some other embodiments, the second mounting structure 16 is only provided on the crossbar 11, or one second mounting structure 16 is omitted from the crossbar 11 and the connector 12.

[0052] Specifically, the first mounting structure 15 and the second mounting structure 16 are detachably connected via a snap-fit ​​connection, a sliding fit, or a quick-lock connection. In this embodiment, the first mounting structure 15 and the second mounting structure 16 are connected via a quick-lock connection.

[0053] Furthermore, the first mounting structure 15 is provided on the surface of the tailgate 3, with a positioning post 151 on its outward side and a positioning hole corresponding to the position of the tailgate 3. The positioning post 151 is inserted to achieve initial positioning. On the side away from the tailgate 3, there is a non-cylindrical groove 152, such as a square groove, and a locking part 153 is provided on the inner wall.

[0054] Combination Figure 11-13 As shown, the second mounting structure 16 is mounted on the crossbar 11. Its main body 161 has a square column structure on its upper part that mates with the cylindrical groove 152, allowing for a stable insertion. A sliding sleeve 162 is fitted externally, and a first spring 165 is provided between the sliding sleeve 162 and the main body 161 to push the sliding sleeve 162 up to the locked position. A pair of locking tongues 163 are mounted on the main body 161, and a second spring 166 is provided between the locking tongues 163 to maintain their outward expansion. A first inclined surface is provided on the outer side of the locking tongues 163, and a corresponding second inclined surface is provided on the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 162, forming a wedge-type linkage structure.

[0055] During insertion, the sliding sleeve 162 pushes the locking tongue 163 inward. After insertion, the locking tongue 163 pops out under the action of the spring and locks into the locking part 153, achieving quick locking. To release the lock, simply press the sliding sleeve 162 to make it slide down, causing the locking tongue 163 to retract inward, thus unlocking and disassembling.

[0056] Furthermore, the second mounting structure 16 is provided with a first shock-absorbing pad 164 to buffer vibrations during insertion into the first mounting structure 15, thereby improving the flexibility and durability of the connection. A second shock-absorbing pad 167 is provided between the sliding sleeve 162 and the main body 161 to improve comfort and wear resistance during long-term use.

[0057] Specifically, in combination Figure 5-6 As shown, the first longitudinal bar 13 and the second longitudinal bar 14 are staggered relative to the connector 12 to avoid interference between the two longitudinal bars when folded. This structural design simplifies the storage layout, effectively saves space, and makes the overall structure more compact and aesthetically pleasing when folded.

[0058] Specifically, in combination Figure 7 As shown, locking members 17 are provided between the connector 12 and the first longitudinal bar 13 and the second longitudinal bar 14. The locking members 17 are used to restrict the rotation of the first longitudinal bar 13 and / or the second longitudinal bar 14 relative to the connector 12 in the locked state, so that the bracket remains in the folded or unfolded state for a long time.

[0059] Specifically, in combination Figure 9-10 As shown, a rotating seat 18 is provided at one end of the first longitudinal rod 13 and / or the second longitudinal rod 14, and a fixed seat 19 is provided on the connecting member 12. The rotating seat 18 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 19 to form a controllable folding mechanism. The fixed seat 19 is provided with a fan-shaped limiting groove 192, and the rotating seat 18 is provided with a limiting block 183. The limiting block 183 slides within the limiting groove 192 to limit the rotation angle. In this embodiment, the rotation angle of the rotating seat 18 relative to the fixed seat 19 is 90°.

[0060] Furthermore, combining Figure 14As shown, the connector 12 has a U-shaped structure, with a fixed seat 19 and a rotating seat 18 inside. The U-shaped structure consists of a web 121 and two side flanges 122, with the flanges 122 arranged at a perpendicular angle to the web 121. One side of the flange 122 is longer than the other, creating a structural difference that facilitates installation and adjustment. The web 121 has connecting holes 123 for mounting the crossbar 11, ensuring that the crossbar 11 is securely fixed.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, the rotating seat 18 within the connector 12 has a first shaft hole 181, and the fixed seat 19 has a second shaft hole 191. The two are rotatably connected by a through-hole shaft, ensuring the strength and stability of the rotating structure. Since the two longitudinal rods are relatively misaligned, for ease of operation, two locking elements 17 are respectively located on the same side of the two connectors 12. The fixed seat 19 in one connector 12 is located above the rotating seat 18, and the fixed seat 19 in the other connector 12 is located below the rotating seat 18. One fixed seat 19 has a through hole 193 for the locking element 17 to pass through, while the other does not require a hole.

[0062] Combination Figure 9 As shown, the rotating seat 18 has a T-shaped structure and a locking groove 182 on its surface. The locking member 17 is a screw structure and is threaded onto the connecting member 12. In use, the locking member 17 is tightened so that its end is inserted into the locking groove 182 to lock the rotating seat 18; loosening the locking member 17 releases the rotation function and allows the longitudinal rod to fold.

[0063] Combination Figure 15 As shown, in another usage configuration, the ends of the first longitudinal bar 13 and the second longitudinal bar 14 furthest from the crossbar 11 abut against the rear of the vehicle body 2, with the crossbar 11 and the tailgate 3 together forming a spatial support structure. When the tailgate 3 is open, the crossbar 11 rises, and the two longitudinal bars extend along the left and right sides of the rear of the vehicle, thus creating a stable triangular or quadrilateral spatial support structure between the tailgate 3, the crossbar 11, and the vehicle body 2. When the tailgate 3 is opened approximately vertically, it forms a four-point support; when the opening angle is small, it forms a triangular support. Both states provide good anti-sway capability and load-bearing performance.

[0064] Furthermore, to enhance the stability and protection of the contact end with the vehicle body, a buffer pad 110 is provided at the end of the first longitudinal bar 13 and / or the second longitudinal bar 14 away from the cross bar 11. The buffer pad 110 is made of soft and elastic materials such as rubber and silicone, and is used to absorb the contact force between the bracket and the vehicle body, prevent scratches on the paint, improve anti-slip performance, and enhance the adaptability of the overall bracket in different usage scenarios.

[0065] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in another embodiment, a vehicle is disclosed, which includes the vehicle attachment suspension bracket 1 and the vehicle body 2 of this embodiment, the attachment suspension bracket being mounted on the vehicle tailgate 3.
