Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle accessories technology, specifically to a multi-functional vehicle mount. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry and the increasing emphasis on driving safety, equipping vehicles with various safety devices and tools has become an important measure to ensure driving safety. Among these, fire extinguishers, as key equipment for dealing with vehicle fires, can extinguish fires in their early stages, effectively reducing fire losses and protecting the lives and property of passengers. Therefore, they are widely required to be equipped in all types of vehicles. Meanwhile, tools with handles, such as window breaker and wrenches, can be used to break windows and disassemble parts in case of vehicle malfunctions or emergencies, providing passengers with self-rescue and emergency handling capabilities. These are also common and important tools in vehicles.

[0003] However, current automotive interior space design and utilization have certain limitations, especially regarding the storage of fire extinguishers and tools with handles, where there is a lack of dedicated and reasonable storage solutions. Existing storage methods are mostly haphazard, typically placing fire extinguishers and tools directly in the trunk or under the seats. This method has many drawbacks.

[0004] During vehicle operation, due to road bumps, sudden braking, or turns, fire extinguishers and tools with handles are prone to shaking, rolling, or even colliding inside the vehicle. This can not only damage the fire extinguishers and tools themselves, affecting their normal use, but also potentially cause accidental injuries to occupants during a collision. When an emergency requires the use of a fire extinguisher or tool with handles, their haphazard storage inside the vehicle often requires occupants to spend a significant amount of time searching for them, thus delaying optimal rescue opportunities and reducing their ability to respond to emergencies. Furthermore, haphazardly placing fire extinguishers and tools with handles takes up considerable interior space, making the already limited space even more cramped, affecting the overall arrangement of items inside the vehicle and the comfort of passengers.

[0005] While some simple car mounts exist on the market, these mounts are relatively limited in function, mostly only able to hold one type of fire extinguisher or tool with a handle, failing to simultaneously meet the storage needs of both fire extinguishers and tools with handles, and only able to hold one fire extinguisher at a time. Moreover, these mounts are often poorly designed and cannot adequately accommodate different types and sizes of fire extinguishers and tools with handles.

[0006] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN221655689U discloses a vehicle fire extinguisher. This device includes a fire extinguisher body, a mounting bracket located under the seat for holding the fire extinguisher body, a strap on the mounting bracket for securing the fire extinguisher body, and a functional box detachably connected to the side wall of the mounting bracket. The functional box contains a cutting component and a striking component. However, this device can only secure one fire extinguisher, which cannot meet the fire extinguishing needs in large fire scenarios. Furthermore, securing the fire extinguisher and functional box via the strap and detachable connection only allows for the storage of one fireball, making it inconvenient to quickly retrieve in emergencies and affecting the effectiveness of emergency response.

[0007] In conclusion, developing a multi-functional vehicle mount that can securely store multiple fire extinguishers and tools with handles, and that is structurally sound and easy to access, is of significant practical importance for improving vehicle driving safety and emergency response capabilities. Utility Model Content

[0008] This utility model aims to solve the problems of existing vehicle mount brackets having limited functionality and being unable to securely store multiple fire extinguishers and tools with handles at the same time. It provides a multi-functional vehicle mount bracket that can securely store multiple fire extinguishers and tools with handles at the same time. The bracket has a reasonable structure, is easy to access, and can effectively improve vehicle driving safety and emergency response capabilities.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0010] A multi-functional vehicle mount suitable for storing fire extinguishers and tools with handles; featuring:

[0011] Base;

[0012] A first clamping space, constructed by a pair of clamping arms, is suitable for clamping and fixing a fire extinguisher;

[0013] A second clamping space, constructed by another pair of clamping arms, is suitable for clamping and securing another fire extinguisher; and

[0014] Handle receiving groove, which is adapted to accommodate the handle of a tool with a handle;

[0015] The first clamping space and the second clamping space are arranged side by side, and the handle receiving groove is disposed on the outer side of the bottom of the first clamping space and the second clamping space.

[0016] Furthermore, the first clamping space is configured to be formed by a first clamping arm and a second clamping arm, and the second clamping space is configured to be formed by a third clamping arm and a fourth clamping arm, all four clamping arms being fixedly attached to the base.

[0017] Furthermore, at least one of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm is configured as an elastic arm, and a first access port for taking out and putting out the fire extinguisher is formed between the two. The width of the first access port is smaller than the outer diameter of the fire extinguisher, so as to securely hold the fire extinguisher in the first clamping space.

[0018] Furthermore, at least one of the third and fourth clamping arms is configured as an elastic arm, and a second access port for taking out and putting out the fire extinguisher is formed between them. The width of the second access port is smaller than the outer diameter of the fire extinguisher, so as to securely hold the fire extinguisher in the second clamping space.

[0019] Furthermore, a first receiving groove for inserting the bottom of a fire extinguisher is defined on the base below the first clamping space, and a second receiving groove for inserting the bottom of another fire extinguisher is defined on the base below the second clamping space. A partition is disposed between the first receiving groove and the second receiving groove to prevent the two fire extinguishers from colliding with each other.

[0020] Furthermore, the handle receiving groove is disposed on the outside of the first receiving groove and the second receiving groove.

[0021] Furthermore, the base includes a back plate and an arc-shaped enclosure disposed below the back plate, the enclosure, the partition, and the back plate together defining a first receiving groove and a second receiving groove.

[0022] Furthermore, the second and third clamping arms are fixed to the base and arranged back to back.

[0023] Furthermore, the second clamping arm and the third clamping arm are fixedly connected to the base, and the two are integrally formed.

[0024] Furthermore, the first clamping arm has an arc-shaped end that bends toward the second clamping arm to form a first pick-and-place opening; the fourth clamping arm has an arc-shaped end that bends toward the third clamping arm to form a second pick-and-place opening.

[0025] The above technical solution achieves the following technical effects:

[0026] This utility model's multi-functional vehicle mount overcomes the limitations of traditional single-function vehicle mounts. It can securely store two fire extinguishers simultaneously, meeting the demand for more firefighting equipment in larger fire scenarios and improving firefighting effectiveness. It also features a handle storage slot, allowing for convenient insertion of the handles of tools such as window breakers and wrenches, achieving effective storage of these tools. This multi-functional storage design enables vehicles to quickly access the appropriate tools and equipment in various emergency situations such as fires and malfunctions, greatly enhancing the vehicle's emergency response capabilities and providing more reliable protection for the lives and property of passengers.

[0027] The bracket's structural design prioritizes stability and safety. Two pairs of clamping arms create a first and a second clamping space, with at least one clamping arm in each space being a flexible arm. This forms an opening smaller than the outer diameter of the fire extinguisher, ensuring a tight and secure grip. This effectively prevents the fire extinguisher from shaking or rolling during vehicle movement due to bumps, sudden braking, or turning, avoiding damage and potential injury to occupants from collisions. Furthermore, the first and second receiving slots on the base can accommodate the bottoms of two fire extinguishers, further enhancing stability. A partition between the two receiving slots effectively prevents collisions between the two extinguishers, further ensuring safety during use.

[0028] This utility model's multi-functional vehicle mount ensures stable storage while prioritizing easy access to tools and equipment. The first and second clamping spaces are arranged side-by-side, with the handle receiving slot located on the outer side of the bottom of both spaces (or on the outer side of the first and second receiving slots). This rational layout makes the storage locations of fire extinguishers and tools with handles relatively concentrated and easily identifiable. In case of an emergency, occupants do not need to rummage through the cluttered vehicle interior; they can quickly and accurately locate the required fire extinguisher or tool, significantly reducing retrieval time, improving emergency response speed, and saving valuable time for timely handling of emergencies, thereby effectively reducing accident losses.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] Please see Figures 1-2 This embodiment of the multi-functional vehicle mount mainly consists of a base 1, a first clamping space 2, a second clamping space 3, and a handle receiving groove 7. This multi-functional vehicle mount is primarily used inside automobiles to securely store multiple fire extinguishers and tools with handles, improving vehicle safety and emergency response capabilities. The mount is made entirely of high-strength plastic, a material that is lightweight, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant, fully meeting the requirements of the in-vehicle environment and ensuring it will not be damaged by environmental factors during long-term use, providing reliable storage for in-vehicle safety equipment.

[0041] The base 1, serving as the main support for the entire vehicle mount, is made of rigid plastic, which not only meets strength requirements but also reduces weight. It includes a back plate 11 and an arc-shaped surrounding plate 12 positioned beneath the back plate 11. The back plate 11 is used for fixed installation in a suitable location within the vehicle, such as under the car seat or on the side wall of the trunk. Installation methods include screw fixing, adhesive fixing (using strong double-sided tape), or other suitable fixing methods to ensure the base 1 remains stable during vehicle operation, preventing shaking or detachment. The arc-shaped surrounding plate 12 works in conjunction with the back plate 11 to provide the structural foundation for the subsequent installation of the receiving slot.

[0042] The vehicle-mounted bracket has two clamping spaces arranged side by side, namely a first clamping space 2 and a second clamping space 2. The first clamping space 2 is formed by a first clamping arm 21 and a second clamping arm 22, both of which are fixed to the base 1. At least one of the first clamping arm 21 and the second clamping arm 22 is configured as an elastic arm; in this embodiment, the first clamping arm 21 is an elastic arm. The first clamping arm 21 has an arc-shaped end that bends towards the second clamping arm 22 to form a first access port 5. The width of the first access port 5 is smaller than the outer diameter of the fire extinguisher. This design allows the fire extinguisher to be placed into the first clamping space 2 by slightly squeezing the first clamping arm 21, causing it to elastically deform. Once inserted, the elastic force generated by the elastic deformation of the first clamping arm 21 will firmly hold the fire extinguisher within the first clamping space 2, effectively preventing the fire extinguisher from shaking or rolling due to bumps, sudden braking or turning during vehicle operation, thus avoiding damage to the fire extinguisher and accidental injury to the occupants of the vehicle due to collision.

[0043] The second clamping space 3 is formed by the third clamping arm 31 and the fourth clamping arm 32, both of which are fixed to the base 1. At least one of the third clamping arm 31 and the fourth clamping arm 32 is configured as an elastic arm; in this embodiment, it is assumed that the fourth clamping arm 32 is an elastic arm. The fourth clamping arm 32 has an arc-shaped end that bends toward the third clamping arm 31 to form a second access port 6. The width of the second access port 6 is smaller than the outer diameter of the fire extinguisher, and its working principle is the same as that of the first access port 5 of the first clamping space 2, which can securely clamp and fix another fire extinguisher. The first clamping space 2 and the second clamping space 3 are arranged side by side, and the second clamping arm 22 and the third clamping arm 31 are arranged back to back. This layout allows the two fire extinguishers to be placed together, facilitating management and retrieval.

[0044] In another embodiment, the second clamping arm 22 and the third clamping arm 31 are fixedly connected to the base 1, and the two are integrally formed. This integral formation can enhance the overall structural strength of the two clamping arms, making them more stable and reliable when clamping the fire extinguisher.

[0045] To further enhance the mechanical strength of the clamping arms, reinforcing ribs 4 are provided on the first clamping arm 21, the second clamping arm 22, the third clamping arm 31, and the fourth clamping arm 32. The reinforcing ribs 4 are made of the same plastic material as the clamping arms and are integrally molded with them using advanced injection molding technology. The reinforcing ribs 4 are evenly distributed on the outside of the clamping arms. This design increases the thickness and rigidity of the clamping arms, effectively preventing deformation or damage due to excessive force during clamping, ensuring a long-term stable clamping effect, and providing strong protection for the safe storage of fire extinguishers.

[0046] Meanwhile, a first receiving groove 9 for inserting the bottom of a fire extinguisher is defined on the base 1 below the first clamping space 2, and a second receiving groove 10 for inserting the bottom of another fire extinguisher is defined on the base 1 below the second clamping space 3. A partition 13 is disposed between the first receiving groove 9 and the second receiving groove 10. The partition 13, together with the surrounding plate 12 and the back plate 11, defines the first receiving groove 9 and the second receiving groove 10. The function of the partition 13 is to prevent the two fire extinguishers from colliding with each other, further ensuring the safety of the fire extinguishers during placement. The partition 13 is made of the same plastic material as the base 1 and is integrally molded with the bracket through injection molding. The height of the partition 13 is moderate, and its function is to separate the bottoms of the two fire extinguishers to prevent them from colliding during vehicle movement. During vehicle movement, due to complex road conditions, bumps and other situations are inevitable. The design of the partition 13 can effectively protect the fire extinguishers from damage due to collisions, ensuring that the fire extinguishers can function normally when needed. When the fire extinguisher is placed in the first clamping space 2 and the second clamping space 3, its bottom will naturally fall into the first receiving groove 9 and the second receiving groove 10. The double fixation of the clamping space and the receiving groove greatly enhances the stability of the fire extinguisher placement.

[0047] The handle receiving slot 7 is suitable for inserting the handle of a tool with a handle, and it is located outside the first receiving slot 9 and the second receiving slot 10. This design allows the handle of tools with handles, such as window breakers and wrenches, to be easily placed into the handle receiving slot 7, achieving effective storage of these tools. Furthermore, the handle receiving slot 7 and the placement of the fire extinguisher are relatively concentrated and easily identifiable. In case of an emergency, occupants do not need to rummage through the cluttered environment of the vehicle, and can quickly and accurately find the required fire extinguisher or tool with a handle, greatly shortening retrieval time and improving emergency response speed. The top of the handle receiving slot 7 is lower than the height of the enclosure 12. This design ensures that the fire extinguisher is not obstructed from detaching from the clamping space when retrieving it, and also facilitates the installation and securing of the fire extinguisher.

[0048] In actual use, firstly, fix the base 1 in a selected position inside the car using a suitable method. Then, place the two fire extinguishers into the first clamping space 2 and the second clamping space 3 through the corresponding access ports 5, ensuring that the bottoms of the fire extinguishers fall into the first receiving slot 9 and the second receiving slot 10. Finally, place the handle of the tool into the handle receiving slot 7. In this way, the multi-functional vehicle mount completes the storage of the fire extinguisher and the tool with handle. When the vehicle encounters an emergency such as a fire, the driver and passengers can quickly retrieve the fire extinguisher from the first clamping space 2 or the second clamping space 3 to extinguish the fire; when encountering situations requiring breaking windows or other emergency repairs, the tool with handle can also be quickly retrieved from the handle receiving slot 7 for handling.

[0049] Example 2:

[0050] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 lies in the arrangement of the first receiving groove 9 and the second receiving groove 10.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the first receiving groove 9 is disposed below the first clamping space 2, and the second receiving groove 10 is disposed below the second clamping space 3. A fixing ring 8 is respectively disposed within the first receiving groove 9 and the second receiving groove 10. The fixing ring 8 is used to fix the bottom of the fire extinguisher clamped in the first clamping space 2 and the bottom of another fire extinguisher clamped in the second clamping space 3, separating them. The fixing ring 8, the back plate 11, and the surrounding plate 12 together define the first receiving groove 9 and the second receiving groove 10. The fixing ring 8 is made of the same plastic material as the base 1 and is integrally formed with the receiving groove through injection molding or fixed in the receiving groove using a suitable connection method. Protrusions 81 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the fixing ring 8. These protrusions 81 can be dot-shaped, strip-shaped, or other suitable shapes to increase the friction between the fixing ring 8 and the fire extinguisher, preventing the two fire extinguishers from shaking or colliding with each other during vehicle operation. In this embodiment, the protrusions 81 are elongated square protrusions. Its working principle is that when the bottom of the fire extinguisher is placed in the fixing ring 8, the protrusion 81 on the inner wall of the fixing ring 8 is in close contact with the bottom surface of the fire extinguisher. Through the action of friction, the fire extinguisher is firmly fixed in the first receiving groove 9 and the second receiving groove 10 respectively, which further improves the stability of the fire extinguisher placement.

[0052] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
