[0040] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes an embodiment of the present invention: an integrated roof-mounted storage device 10.

[0041] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the integrated roof-mounted storage device 10 of this utility model embodiment includes a roof rack platform, which is installed on the top of the vehicle 20 to facilitate passengers placing luggage and other miscellaneous items on the roof rack platform, so that the miscellaneous items can be easily fixed on the roof. The roof rack platform includes a plurality of support rods 100. A cavity 101 extending along the length of the rod is defined within at least one support rod 100. The cavity 101 is used to store water and / or accommodate a skylight assembly 200. That is, the cavity 101 can contain water; or, the cavity 101 can accommodate the skylight assembly 200.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the integrated roof storage device 10 of this embodiment defines a cavity 101 in the roof rack platform. The cavity 101 is used for water storage and / or to accommodate the sunroof assembly 200. In other words, the cavity 101 of the rack 100 serves as a storage cavity for water storage or to accommodate the sunroof assembly 200, thereby achieving integrated water tank and sunroof assembly 200 on the roof rack platform in this embodiment. Especially when the cavity 101 of the rack 100 is used to accommodate the sunroof assembly 200, the sunroof assembly 200 is completely contained within the cavity 101, ensuring that the sunroof assembly 200 is not exposed, thus reducing wind resistance when the vehicle 20 is in motion and improving the user experience.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, each support pole 100 is divided into a side frame pole 110 and a load-bearing frame pole 120. The side frame pole 110 surrounds the load-bearing frame pole 120 and defines a cavity 101 within the side frame pole 110. That is, the load-bearing frame pole 120 is located inside the side frame pole 110, and the side frame pole 110 with the cavity 101 is located on the outside. This allows for easy access to water or removal of the roof awning assembly 200 from the outside of the roof platform when occupants need to use it.

[0044] For example Figure 5 As shown, a portion of the side frame pole 110 is located on the left side of the top of the vehicle 20. Multiple support poles 120 are present, with the left end of each support pole 120 connected to that portion of the side frame pole 110. When occupants need to use water or the skylight assembly 200, they can directly access the water or remove the skylight assembly 200 from the left side of the vehicle 20 via that portion of the side frame pole 110.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, when the cavity 101 is used to accommodate the canopy assembly 200, at least one side of the cavity 101 is connected to a side window 102 for deploying and retracting the canopy assembly 200. The integrated roof storage device 10 also includes the canopy assembly 200, which includes a curtain 210 that is bulging and curled within the cavity 101. One end of the curtain 210 is a fixed end 211 connected to the cavity 101, and the other end is a rolled-up movable end 212 for deploying and retracting from the side window 102.

[0046] When the curtain 210 is in the rolled-up state, it can be completely contained within the cavity 101, ensuring that the rolled-up curtain 210 is not exposed. The movable end 212 of the curtain 210 can be pulled out from the side window 102, and because the fixed end 211 of the curtain 210 is connected to the cavity 101, the curtain 210 can be gradually flattened as the movable end 212 of the curtain 210 is pulled out from the side window 102 and removed in a direction away from the side window 102. Therefore, not only is it easy to remove the curtain 210, but the installation of the curtain 210 can also be completed by simply fixing the movable end 212 of the curtain 210, thus improving the practicality of the cyclorama assembly 200.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, and refer to Figure 5 The canopy assembly 200 of this utility model embodiment also includes a first horizontal support rod 220, which is connected to the movable end 212 of the curtain 210 to cause the curtain 210 to be rolled up on the first horizontal support rod 220.

[0048] In other words, when the curtain 210 is in the unfolded state, the first cross brace 220 can support the movable end 212 of the curtain 210 in the width direction of the movable end 212 of the curtain 210 (e.g., Figure 3 The screen 210 is supported in the front and back directions to enhance the display effect when unfolded, thus improving the user experience. Furthermore, when the screen 210 needs to be stored in the cavity 101, the screen 210 can be rolled up by rotating the first horizontal support rod 220, further improving its practicality.

[0049] Optionally, the cross-sectional outer contour of the first cross brace 220 is rectangular, which gives the first cross brace 220 high structural strength, simple structure, and low manufacturing cost.

[0050] Optionally, the cross-sectional outer contour of the first cross brace 220 is circular, which gives the first cross brace 220 high structural strength, simple structure, and low manufacturing cost.

[0051] Optionally, the cross-sectional outer contour of the first cross brace 220 is elliptical, which gives the first cross brace 220 high structural strength, simple structure, and low manufacturing cost.

[0052] The first horizontal support rod 220 defines a receiving groove 221 that opens to at least one side, and a vertical support rod 230 is connected or movably placed in the receiving groove 221. The vertical support rod 230 is used to directly or indirectly provide vertical support to the movable end 212 of the curtain 210 after the curtain 210 is unfolded.

[0053] In other words, the vertical support rod 230 is housed in the receiving groove 221 of the first horizontal support rod 220, and the vertical support rod 230 can extend out of the receiving groove 221 through the opening on the first horizontal support rod 220. Figure 5 As shown, after the vertical support rod 230 extends out of the receiving groove 221, its lower end can be set on the bottom surface. For example, the vertical support rod 230 can be inserted into the ground so that the vertical support rod 230 supports the curtain 210 in the vertical direction.

[0054] In some alternative embodiments, one end of the vertical support rod 230 is rotatably connected to the wall of the receiving groove 221, so that the vertical support rod 230 rotatably extends out of the receiving groove 221 and its free end contacts the ground.

[0055] Furthermore, there are two vertical support rods 230, with the rotating end of each vertical support rod 230 being the end away from the other vertical support rod 230, thereby using the two vertical support rods 230 to support the curtain 210, thus improving the stability of the support provided by the vertical support rods 230.

[0056] In some alternative embodiments, the vertical support rod 230 is placed directly in the receiving groove 221. When the vertical support rod 230 is needed to support the curtain 210, the upper end of the vertical support rod 230 directly contacts and abuts against the receiving groove 221, and the lower end of the vertical support rod 230 is installed on the ground.

[0057] Furthermore, the lower end of the vertical support rod 230 is also provided with a support foot to ensure the stability of the vertical support rod 230.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first horizontal support 220 is a strip-shaped cast or die-cast component, which gives the first horizontal support 220 high structural strength and thus avoids bending deformation of the first horizontal support 220.

[0059] Optionally, the first cross brace 220 is made of aluminum alloy casting, which not only makes the first cross brace 220 structurally strong, but also lighter, reducing the overall weight of the integrated roof storage device 10 in this embodiment.

[0060] The first cross brace 220 defines a receiving groove 221 that opens to one side and a recess 240 that opens to the other side. The movable end 212 of the curtain 210 is fitted into the recess 240, thereby fixing the movable end 212 of the curtain 210 to the first cross brace 220 through the recess 240, making the connection structure between the curtain 210 and the first cross brace 220 simple and easy to manufacture.

[0061] Specifically, the receiving groove 221 is U-shaped and includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a third sidewall connected between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. The receiving groove 221 is defined between the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the third sidewall, and an opening is defined between the end of the first sidewall away from the third sidewall and the end of the second sidewall away from the third sidewall.

[0062] The groove 240 is C-shaped, meaning that the inner wall of the groove 240 is an arc surface with an opening on one side, so that the movable end 212 of the curtain 210 can be embedded and connected in the groove 240 through the opening of the groove 240.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, a section is defined on the first cross brace 220 along the length direction (e.g.) Figure 3 The cavity extends in the front-to-back direction, which not only improves the structural strength of the first cross brace 220, but also reduces the weight of the first cross brace 220, making the first cross brace 220 require less material to manufacture and reducing the cost of the first cross brace 220.

[0064] In addition, the cavity can be used for water storage, and the cavity has through holes for water injection or drainage.

[0065] In some embodiments, the canopy assembly 200 of this utility model further includes a second horizontal support rod 250. One end of the second horizontal support rod 250 is hinged to the cavity wall of the cavity 101, and the other end of the second horizontal support rod 250 is used to directly or indirectly connect to the movable end 212 of the curtain 210, so as to cause the second horizontal support rod to support the curtain 210 in the unfolding direction of the curtain 210. The unfolding direction of the curtain 210 refers to the direction in which the movable end 212 of the curtain 210 moves away from the support rod 100 to unfold the curtain 210, for example... Figure 5 As shown, the curtain 210 is unfolded in the direction of the left.

[0066] In other words, the second cross brace 250 extends rotatably out of the cavity 101 so that the second cross brace 250 supports the curtain 210 in the unfolding direction of the curtain 210, thereby further improving the flattening effect of the curtain 210 and thus improving the user experience.

[0067] Furthermore, the second cross brace 250 is a telescopic rod, and there are two second cross braces 250, which are respectively hinged to both ends of the cavity. That is, the two second cross braces 250 support the curtain 210 below its two ends in the width direction to support the sides of the curtain 210 at both ends in the width direction.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a side cover plate 130 is connected to the side window 102. The side cover plate 130 is configured to control the opening and closing of the side window 102 and, when closed, press against the curtain 210. In other words, the side cover plate 130 can be placed over the side window 102, thereby sealing the side window 102 and preventing the cyclorama assembly 200 and the second cross brace 250 from detaching from the side window 102. Furthermore, the side cover plate 130 placed over the side window 102 also reduces the wind resistance of the support pole 100.

[0069] Specifically, the side cover 130 has a main body 131, and one side of the main body 131 forms an arc-shaped hinged flange 132. The hinged flange 132 is rotatably engaged with the arc-shaped groove 140 formed by bending the cavity wall of the cavity 101. The hinged flange 132 can be bent under force to allow the main body 131 to be flipped upward, and when the main body 131 is not affected by external force, the hinged flange 132 resets, causing the main body 131 to be flipped downward, so that the main body 131 automatically covers the side window 102, making the opening and closing of the side cover 130 more convenient.

[0070] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a vertically folded latching flange 133 is formed on the other side of the main body 131, and the latching flange 133 is embedded in the latching stop 150 formed by the folding of the cavity wall of the cavity 101. Thus, when the side cover 130 is sealed on the side window 102, the latching flange 133 on the main body 131 is embedded in the latching stop 150, so that the side cover 130 is not easily detached from the side window 102.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, an arc-shaped rib 160 protrudes from the cavity wall of the cavity 101. The rib 160 and the cavity wall of the cavity 101 form a connecting groove 161 that opens in the same direction as the side window 102, so as to facilitate the connection of the fixed end 211 of the curtain 210 into the connecting groove 161. Thus, the connecting groove 161 is formed by the rib 160, so that the fixed end 211 of the curtain 210 is embedded and connected in the connecting groove 161, making the connection structure between the curtain 210 and the cavity 101 simple and easy to manufacture.

[0072] In some embodiments, cavities 101 are located in the side frame rods 110 on at least one side of the roof rack platform, and the skylight assembly 200 in each cavity 101 is arranged relatively independently or at least the two are connected together, so that more skylight assembly 200 can be accommodated in the side frame rods 110 of the roof rack platform, thereby further improving practicality.

[0073] For example, two side frame rods 110 are spaced apart in the left-right direction, and each side frame rod 110 contains a curtain 210. The side window 102 of the left side frame rod 110 opens to the left, allowing the curtain 210 to unfold to the left. The side window 102 of the right side frame rod 110 opens to the right, allowing the curtain 210 to unfold to the right. This allows the two curtains 210 to create a larger shielding area, accommodating situations with a large number of people.

[0074] In some embodiments, when the cavity 101 is used for water storage, the cavity 101 is located in at least one side frame rod 110 of the roof rack platform and / or in at least one support frame rod 120. That is, the cavity 101 for water storage is formed in at least one side frame rod 110 of the roof rack platform; or, the cavity 101 for water storage is formed in both the side frame rod 110 and at least one support frame rod 120 of the roof rack platform. This fully utilizes the space within the cavity 101 for water storage, eliminating the need for an additional water tank, reducing structural redundancy, and lowering wind resistance.

[0075] In some alternative embodiments, when the cavity 101 is located in at least two side frame rods 110, the cavities 101 are interconnected or at least two are spaced apart from each other, so that water can flow smoothly between the cavities 101 in the at least two side frame rods 110 to facilitate the injection and discharge of water into and from each cavity 101.

[0076] In some alternative embodiments, when the cavity 101 is located in at least two support rods 120, the cavities 101 are interconnected or at least two are spaced apart from each other, so that water can flow smoothly between the cavities 101 in the at least two support rods 120 to facilitate the injection and discharge of water into and from each cavity 101.

[0077] In some alternative embodiments, where the cavities 101 are located in at least one side frame rod 110 and at least one support frame rod 120, the cavities 101 are interconnected or at least spaced apart from each other, so that water can flow smoothly between the cavities 101 in at least one side frame rod 110 and at least one support frame rod 120, so as to facilitate the injection and discharge of water into and from each cavity 101.

[0078] Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that although many exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications conforming to the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
