[0026] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] The following reference Figures 1 to 4 This application describes a multi-functional pickup truck bed side panel structure provided according to some embodiments.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the multi-functional pickup truck cargo box side panel structure provided according to some embodiments of this application includes a side panel outer panel 1 with a cavity inside; a side panel inner panel 11 disposed inside the side panel outer panel 1; a movable panel 2 foldably disposed on the side panel outer panel 1, and the movable panel 2 is movably connected to the side panel outer panel 1; an operating platform 4 disposed inside the movable panel 2; a fixed panel 5 disposed on the side panel inner panel 11; two limiting cables 6 disposed on both sides of the operating platform 4 and the fixed panel 5 for supporting the operating platform 4; and inner and outer panels 7 disposed in the cavity of the side panel outer panel 1, forming a storage space, which is a storage box 71.

[0029] In this embodiment, the movable plate 2 is movably connected to the outer side panel 1. The movable plate 2 can be unfolded relative to the outer side panel 1. The operating platform 4 is built into the movable plate 2. The fixed plate 5 is vertically fixed in the inner side panel 11. Limiting cables 6 are installed on both sides of the operating platform 4 and the fixed plate 5. The limiting cables 6 provide support for the movable plate 2 after it is unfolded, ensuring that the operating platform 4 is in a horizontal state. The unfolded operating platform 4 can be used as a temporary workbench, cooking table, or tool placement area to meet the needs of camping, maintenance, and other scenarios. The movable plate 2 adopts a foldable design, which can be rotated 90°. After folding, it is flush with the outer side panel 1, reducing space occupation. The cavity of the outer side panel 1 is provided with inner and outer panels 7 to form a storage box 71. The storage box 71 can provide users with storage for items, improving the multi-functionality of the pickup truck bed and adapting to diverse scenarios.

[0030] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fixed plate 5 is perpendicular to the operating platform 4.

[0031] In this embodiment, the fixing plate 5 is fixed to the inner side panel 11 and serves as a support structure for the operating platform 4. In the initial state, the operating platform 4 and the fixing plate 5 are parallel. When unfolded, the operating platform 4 and the fixing plate 5 are perpendicular. The operating platform 4 can be unfolded to serve as a temporary workbench to meet diverse outdoor needs.

[0032] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the operating platform 4 is flat and has anti-slip texture on its surface.

[0033] In this embodiment, the flat operating platform 4 forms a continuous, unobstructed horizontal surface that can fully support tools, equipment, or materials. The surface of the flat platform has no protrusions or gaps, ensuring that tools and parts will not roll or slip due to unevenness of the platform during operation, and facilitating quick cleaning afterward. Anti-slip textures are added to the surface of the operating platform 4. These textures increase surface friction and prevent tools, parts, or operating items from slipping when the platform is tilted or vibrates, significantly reducing the risk of items slipping.

[0034] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fixing plate 5 has multiple through holes inside, and the fixing plate 5 is an aluminum alloy fixing plate.

[0035] In this embodiment, the multiple through holes of the fixing plate 5 can provide storage for items, allowing users to fix lamp holders, parasol holders, etc. when outdoors. The multiple through holes can also promote air circulation and prevent heat accumulation. Furthermore, the aluminum alloy fixing plate 5 has high tensile strength, strong corrosion resistance, and improved service life.

[0036] In some possible embodiments, the corners of the operating platform 4 and the fixing plate 5 are chamfered.

[0037] In this embodiment, the chamfering of the operating platform 4 and the fixing plate 5 creates a rounded transition at the edges, which can absorb some of the collision energy, reduce the impact force when the head, knees and other parts are hit, reduce the probability of scratches and improve the safety effect.

[0038] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes: multiple latches 3, which are respectively disposed on the movable plate 2; multiple latches 31, which are respectively disposed on the inner side panel 11, and each latch 31 cooperates with the corresponding latch 3.

[0039] In this embodiment, the latch 3 is a mechanical fastener on the movable plate 2. It is a component with a hook-like structure used to capture and fix the latch 31. The movable plate 2 is fixed by the latch 3 cooperating with the latch 31. At the same time, the latch 3 enables the movable plate 2 to have a locking function, and enables the storage space inside the side outer panel 1 to have an anti-theft function, thereby improving the overall functionality of the structure.

[0040] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes: multiple partition plates 72, which are disposed on inner and outer plates 7, and the inner and outer plates 7 have sliding grooves for the partition plates 72 to slide.

[0041] In this embodiment, the partition 72 divides the storage box 71 inside the inner and outer panels 7 into multiple independent partitions, which can prevent items from colliding with each other. At the same time, the partition 72 slides on the inner and outer panels 7 through the slide groove, and the user can flexibly adjust the partition size according to the size of the items to adapt to different usage needs, meet the storage of items of different lengths, and meet diverse needs.

[0042] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, it also includes: multiple support blocks 9, respectively disposed between the movable plate 2 and the operating platform 4; multiple hinge shafts 91, disposed on each of the support blocks 9; multiple first connecting blocks 8, disposed on the other side of each of the hinge shafts 91; multiple second connecting blocks 81, each of the second connecting blocks 81 being retractably disposed on each of the first connecting blocks 8; and multiple slide rails 82, disposed on each of the first connecting blocks 8, each of the second connecting blocks 81 having a slide groove that allows sliding of the corresponding slide rail 82.

[0043] In this embodiment, since the movable plate 2 needs to be lifted upwards before it can be flipped, a vertical upward force is applied to the movable plate 2, and the second connecting block 81 slides upwards along the slide rail 82 of the first connecting block 8. The slide groove cooperates with the slide rail 82 to guide the sliding direction and prevent deviation. Then, the top part of the movable plate 2 is separated from the inner side panel 11, providing space for subsequent flipping. When the movable plate 2 is lifted to the limit position, the user applies a horizontal flipping force, and the movable plate 2 flips around the hinge shaft 91. The support block 9 serves as a fixed base, and the second connecting block 81 rotates synchronously with the movable plate 2 to realize the flipping of the movable plate 2.

[0044] When the multi-functional pickup truck cargo box side panel structure is in operation, in the initial state, the movable plate 2 is folded inside the outer side panel 1. When unfolded, the user applies a vertical upward force, and the movable plate 2 moves the first connecting block 8 upward synchronously. The second connecting block 81 moves upward along the slide rail 82 of the first connecting block 8, and the extension length of the second connecting block 81 gradually increases. The top position of the movable plate 2 disengages from the inner side panel 11, providing space for flipping. The user applies a horizontal force, and the movable plate 2 rotates around the hinge shaft 91. The support block 9 serves as a fixed base, and the second connecting block 81 rotates synchronously with the movable plate 2 until the operating platform 4 rotates to a horizontal state. At this time, the limit cable 6 is in a fully stretched state, and the operating platform... The platform 4 and the fixed plate 5 change from a parallel state to a vertical state, forming a stable temporary workbench. The surface of the operating platform 4 has anti-slip texture to improve the stability of the items placed on it. At the same time, the through holes of the fixed plate 5 can be used to fix lamp brackets, parasol frames, etc., to meet diverse outdoor needs. When it is necessary to flip and reset after use, the user applies a reverse force to make the movable plate 2 rotate back to the initial angle around the hinge shaft 91. The movable plate 2 is in a vertical state. Then, press the movable plate 2 down, and the second connecting block 81 slides along the slide rail 82 into the first connecting block 8, returning to the retracted state. The slide rail 82 and the slide groove are fully engaged, and the extension length of the second connecting block 81 is zeroed. Then, the locking buckle 3 and the locking tongue 31 cooperate to achieve fixation.
