Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kayak technology, specifically a folding kayak hanger. Background Technology
[0002] Kayaking is a general term for water sports vehicles and competitive events, encompassing both kayaks and canoes. It is mainly used for paddling, competitions, or leisure activities. A kayak rack is a support structure specifically designed for the safe suspension or support of kayaks, which mainly achieves the three-dimensional placement or transportation of kayaks through physical fixation.
[0003] In real life, kayak hangers are increasingly being folding to save space. However, most folding kayak hangers use a single hinge folding structure. Under the stress of folding, the folding joint is prone to loosening and wear. Long-term use may lead to metal fatigue or breakage, thereby reducing the load-bearing stability of the hanger. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a folding kayak hanger to solve the problems mentioned in the background section. To solve these technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] This utility model is a folding kayak hanger, comprising:
[0006] The mounting bracket has two connecting seats fixedly provided on its front side, and a hanging frame is rotatably provided on the opposite sides of the two connecting seats.
[0007] The folding component includes two connecting blocks. A support frame is rotatably mounted on opposite sides of the two connecting blocks. A connecting plate is fixedly mounted on one side of the support frame. A vertical rod is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the connecting plate. Several threaded holes are opened on the outer wall of the vertical rod. A locking bolt is threaded on the inner side of one of the threaded holes. A fixing sleeve is threaded on the outer wall of the locking bolt. The top end of the fixing sleeve is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the mounting frame.
[0008] Furthermore, the folding component also includes two sliders, with opposite sides of the two sliders fixedly disposed on one side of the two connecting blocks, and opposite sides of the two sliders slidably disposed on both sides of the suspension frame.
[0009] Furthermore, the folding component also includes a first limiting block, the top of which is fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the vertical rod.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer wall of the vertical rod penetrates the top of the mounting bracket and the inner wall of the fixing sleeve, respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes an auxiliary support component, which includes a rotating rod, a movable rod extending through the top end of the rotating rod, a top block fixedly provided at the top end of the movable rod, and a second limiting block fixedly provided at the bottom end of the movable rod.
[0012] Furthermore, the auxiliary support component also includes an elastic block, one end of which is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the movable rod, and the outer wall of the elastic block is in contact with the top end of the rotating rod.
[0013] Furthermore, the top end of the rotating rod contacts the bottom end of the suspension frame.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] This utility model, by providing a support frame and locking bolts, allows the vertical rod to be moved upward by opening the locking bolts. The vertical rod, through the connecting plate, drives the support frame to move upward, which in turn drives the two connecting blocks to move upward. With one end of the suspension frame rotatably connected to the connecting seat, the other end of the suspension frame rotates upward and folds. Then, the locking bolts are tightened. This method can buffer the folding stress, reduce wear at the folding joint of the hanger, and thus improve the load-bearing stability of the hanger. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model is a folding kayak rack, comprising:
[0026] Mounting bracket 11, with two connecting seats 12 fixedly provided on the front side of the mounting bracket 11, and a hanging frame 13 rotatably provided on the opposite sides of the two connecting seats 12.
[0027] The suspension frame 13 can only rotate upwards by 90 degrees along the connecting seat 12.
[0028] The folding component includes two connecting blocks 21. A support frame 22 is rotatably provided on opposite sides of the two connecting blocks 21. A connecting plate 23 is fixedly provided on one side of the support frame 22. A vertical rod 24 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the connecting plate 23. Several threaded holes 241 are provided on the outer wall of the vertical rod 24. A locking bolt 25 is threaded on the inner side of one of the threaded holes 241. A fixing sleeve 14 is threaded on the outer wall of the locking bolt 25. The top end of the fixing sleeve 14 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the mounting bracket 11.
[0029] The suspension frame 13 does not contact the support frame 22 during rotation and folding. The support frame 22 is U-shaped. The locking bolt 25 is used to limit and fix the vertical rod 24. Rubber pads are glued to the opposite side of the suspension frame 13 and the support frame 22 to prevent the hull from being scratched.
[0030] The folding component also includes two sliders 26, with the opposite sides of the two sliders 26 fixedly mounted on one side of the two connecting blocks 21, and the opposite sides of the two sliders 26 slidably mounted on both sides of the hanging frame 13.
[0031] The slider 26 is T-shaped and is used to limit the movement of the connecting block 21 so that it slides horizontally along the side of the suspension frame 13. Both sides of the suspension frame 13 are provided with grooves that are adapted to the slider 26.
[0032] The folding component also includes a first limiting block 27, the top of which is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the vertical rod 24;
[0033] The first limiting block 27 is used to limit the movement of the vertical rod 24. When the locking bolt 25 is threadedly connected to the bottom threaded hole 241, the suspension frame 13 is in a folded state, and the first limiting block 27 is in contact with the bottom end of the fixing sleeve 14.
[0034] The outer wall of the vertical rod 24 passes through the top of the mounting bracket 11 and the inner wall of the fixing sleeve 14 respectively;
[0035] The vertical rod 24 is slidably engaged with the mounting bracket 11 and the fixing sleeve 14 respectively.
[0036] Working principle: When folding and storing the kayak rack, loosen the locking bolt 25, then move the vertical rod 24 upward. The upward movement of the vertical rod 24 causes the connecting plate 23 to move upward, which in turn causes the support frame 22 to move upward. The upward movement of the support frame 22 causes the two connecting blocks 21 to move upward. With one end of the suspension frame 13 rotatably connected to the connecting seat 12, the other end of the suspension frame 13 rotates upward and folds until the first limit block 27 contacts the fixing sleeve 14. Then tighten the locking bolt 25. This method can buffer the folding stress, reduce the wear at the folding joint of the rack, and thus improve the load-bearing stability of the rack. At the same time, by connecting the locking bolt 25 to the threaded holes 241 at different positions, the suspension angle of the suspension frame 13 can be adjusted and supported and fixed.
[0037] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further includes:
[0038] The auxiliary support component includes a rotating rod 31, a movable rod 32 passing through the top end of the rotating rod 31, a top block 33 fixedly provided at the top end of the movable rod 32, and a second limiting block 34 fixedly provided at the bottom end of the movable rod 32.
[0039] The top end of the rotating rod 31 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the mounting bracket 11, the rotating rod 31 is slidably engaged with the moving rod 32, and the top block 33 is made of rubber.
[0040] The auxiliary support component also includes an elastic block 35, one end of which is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the movable rod 32, and the outer wall of the elastic block 35 is in contact with the top end of the rotating rod 31.
[0041] When the elastic block 35 contacts the top of the rotating rod 31, the top of the top block 33 and the top of the suspension frame 13 are on the same horizontal plane.
[0042] The top of the rotating rod 31 contacts the bottom of the suspension frame 13.
[0043] Working principle: After the kayak is placed on the suspension frame 13, rotate the rotating rod 31 outward to the vertical position, and then move the top block 33 upward. The upward movement of the top block 33 drives the moving rod 32 to move upward until the outer wall of the moving rod 32 moves above the rotating rod 31 and contacts the rotating rod 31. In this way, the kayak can be assisted in supporting it, thereby further improving the overall load-bearing stability of the bracket.
