[0028] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The technical methods of the present invention will be further described, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0029] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides an externally mounted vehicle spare tire carrier device, comprising:

[0030] The mounting plate 100 is provided with straps 110 and buckles 120. The straps 110 are used to fix the mounting plate 100 to the flap of the pickup truck bed.

[0031] The spare tire bag 200 has an internal space for accommodating a spare tire. The back of the spare tire bag 200 is provided with a buckle 210, which is used to fasten the spare tire bag 200 to the buckle 120 of the hanging plate 100.

[0032] In practical use, the device is easy and efficient to assemble and disassemble.

[0033] First, the mounting plate 100 is wrapped around the flap of the pickup truck bed by its strap 110 and locked by the buckle 130 at the end of the strap 110, so that the mounting plate 100 is firmly fixed on the flap. This step only needs to be installed once and can be used for a long time.

[0034] Subsequently, the spare tire is placed into the spare tire bag 200, forming a complete modular unit. When the spare tire needs to be installed, simply align the buckle 210 on the back of the spare tire bag 200 with the buckle 120 on the hanging plate 100 and fasten them in sequence to complete the installation. When the spare tire needs to be removed, the user only needs to manually press to release the buckle 210, so that the buckle 210 is disengaged from the buckle 120, and the spare tire bag 200 can be removed as a whole without disassembling the strap 110 or performing any tool operations, realizing "hang and use immediately, pull and remove immediately".

[0035] Compared to the existing technology of directly securing the spare tire with straps, this design has at least the following advantages:

[0036] 1. Significantly improves disassembly and assembly efficiency: By storing the spare tire in the spare tire bag 200 and using the quick connection method of the clip 210 and the buckle 120, the spare tire module can be quickly mounted and disassembled, which greatly simplifies the operation process. Especially in emergency tire changes or complex road conditions, it can respond quickly and improve vehicle efficiency and safety.

[0037] 2. Modular design: The mounting plate 100 is permanently installed on the vehicle as a fixed base, while the spare tire bag 200 exists independently as a detachable functional unit, forming a modular architecture of "basic components + functional components". Users can flexibly replace the spare tire bag 200 of different sizes according to their needs, or temporarily remove the spare tire bag 200 and take it indoors for storage to avoid the spare tire being lost or stolen.

[0038] 3. Protects the spare tire: The spare tire is placed inside the spare tire pack 200, which effectively isolates it from rain, ultraviolet rays, dust and scratches, delays rubber aging, keeps the spare tire in good standby condition, and extends its service life.

[0039] 4. Enhanced safety: The buckle 210 and buckle 120 are multi-point, high-strength connection structures with reasonable distribution and even force distribution, which can effectively prevent the spare tire from shaking or falling off during vehicle operation; at the same time, it avoids the wear and loosening problem caused by frequent disassembly and assembly of the strap 110, making the overall structure more reliable.

[0040] 5. User-friendly design and easy operation: The entire assembly and disassembly process requires no tools and can be easily completed by one person. It is especially suitable for outdoor, nighttime, or users with limited physical strength, significantly improving the user experience.

[0041] Overall, the modular design of the mounting plate 100 and the spare tire bag 200 not only enables quick loading and unloading of the spare tire, but also provides protection, safety, and convenience. It solves the technical defects of the traditional strap 110 fixing method, which is cumbersome to operate and lacks sufficient protection, and has outstanding practical value and promotion prospects.

[0042] Preferably, the strap 110 extends along the length of the mounting plate 100, so that the strap 110 can extend longitudinally from one end of the mounting plate 100 and wrap around the top edge or side frame of the pickup truck cargo box flap, forming a symmetrical tensioning structure along the front and rear direction of the vehicle. This arrangement is conducive to the strap 110 being evenly stressed, improving the fit and stability of the mounting plate 100 on the flap, while also making it easy for the user to operate the buckle 130 from the side to lock or loosen it.

[0043] Preferably, the fixed end of the strap 110 is provided with a buckle 130, and the free end of the strap 110 is provided with a plug (not shown in the figure). When the strap 110 passes around the pickup truck cargo box flap, the fastening and disassembly of the mounting plate 100 can be achieved by inserting the plug into the buckle 130. This design is not only simple in structure and highly reliable, but also the locking mechanism of the buckle 130 and the plug has good vibration resistance and anti-loosening performance, which can effectively cope with the bumps and impacts during vehicle operation.

[0044] Preferably, the buckle 120 is provided in at least two rows on the mounting plate 100, with at least two buckles in each row. This layout can be adapted to spare tire packs 200 of different sizes and specifications. Users can select buckles 120 at different positions for snap-fit ​​210 connection according to the diameter of the spare tire or the size of the spare tire pack 200, so as to achieve flexible adjustment and universal compatibility.

[0045] This design significantly improves the compatibility and applicability of the device. The same mounting plate 100 can support the installation of multiple spare tire models, meeting the needs of users to change tires or use it across different vehicle models. At the same time, the arrangement of multiple rows and multiple points of buckles 120 makes the spare tire bag 200 more evenly stressed when mounted, enhancing the stability of the connection and its vibration resistance, effectively preventing loosening or falling off due to excessive local stress during driving, and improving overall safety and reliability.

[0046] Preferably, the mounting plate 100 is also provided with a first reinforcing band 140. The first reinforcing band 140 extends along the width direction of the mounting plate 100. The first reinforcing band 140 is arranged to cross the strap 110 and covers the strap 110. They are firmly connected by sewing. This structure effectively enhances the strength of the key stress-bearing parts of the mounting plate 100 and prevents the material from tearing or the connection points from loosening due to long-term tensioning of the strap 110 or vehicle vibration.

[0047] This cross-reinforcement design not only improves the stability and durability of the overall structure, but also distributes the tension borne by the strap 110 more evenly to the body of the mounting plate 100, reducing local stress concentration. At the same time, the first reinforcing band 140 presses and fixes the strap 110 to prevent it from shifting or twisting during use, ensuring that the strap 110 is always in the optimal stress position, thereby ensuring the secure installation of the mounting plate 100 under complex road conditions and significantly improving the safety and reliability of the device.

[0048] Preferably, the fixing section of the strap 110 is provided with a first loop 121 integrally connected thereto, and a buckle 120 is installed on the first loop 121. The first reinforcing strap 140 presses the first loop 121 tightly against the strap 110. This design effectively improves the load-bearing capacity of the buckle 120 connection point, so that the tension from the spare tire pack 200 is evenly transmitted through the path of buckle 210—buckle 120—first loop 121—strap 110—hanging plate 100, preventing the loop from peeling off or the strap 110 from deforming due to repeated stress during use.

[0049] Meanwhile, the clamping and fixing of the first reinforcing belt 140 to the first belt ring 121 further restricts its freedom of movement, improves connection stability, and ensures that the buckle ring 120 can remain firm and reliable under vehicle driving bumps or frequent loading and unloading conditions, which significantly enhances the overall safety and durability of the device.

[0050] Preferably, the back of the spare tire pack 200 is provided with a second belt loop 211 integrally connected thereto, and the buckle 210 is installed on the second belt loop 211. The integrally connected second belt loop 211 and the spare tire pack 200 body have good structural continuity, which significantly improves the strength and tensile performance of the connection part and avoids the belt loop from falling off due to frequent disassembly or driving vibration.

[0051] Meanwhile, a second reinforcing strap 220 is provided on the back of the spare tire pack 200, and the second strap ring 211 is pressed and fixed to the surface of the spare tire pack 200 to form a multi-reinforcement structure. This design effectively disperses the stress borne by the buckle 210 during hooking and driving, prevents the second strap ring 211 from tearing or shifting due to excessive local stress, and ensures long-term stability and reliability of the connection point.

[0052] Preferably, the mounting plate 100 is configured as a flexible plate. This flexible structure can conform to the shape contour of the pickup truck bed flap, and is especially suitable for flaps with curved or irregular surfaces, achieving a tighter fit and improving the overall stability and aesthetics of the installation. This design significantly enhances the universal adaptability of the device, allowing it to be used with flap structures of various vehicle models without customization, avoiding shaking or uneven stress caused by shape mismatch.
