[0036] 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.

[0037] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-3 The image shows a folding car rack.

[0038] Example 1: Includes side frames 1 and linkage assembly 2. Each of the two adjacent side frames 1 has a restraint seat fixedly connected to one side to limit the load on automotive parts. Thus, when the two side frames 1 are deployed, they can restrain the automotive parts. This is prior art and will not be described in detail here. The linkage assembly 2 is located on the side between adjacent side frames 1. The linkage assembly 2 includes a first connecting plate 21, a second connecting plate 22, a hinge assembly, and a locking assembly. The first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 are symmetrically arranged. The hinge assembly is located between the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22. On the two connecting plates 22, the opposite ends of the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 are rotatably connected by a hinge assembly, and the opposite ends of the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 are rotatably connected to the side frame 1 by a hinge assembly. A locking assembly is provided on the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22. The locking assembly is used to lock the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22. That is, under the action of the locking assembly and the hinge assembly, the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 can maintain a stable horizontal state, thereby limiting the connection of the two side frames 1.

[0039] Furthermore, the hinge assembly includes a slot, a first connecting block 23, a second connecting block 212, a fixing sleeve 24, and a through hole. The slot is respectively opened at the ends of the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22. The first connecting block 23 is disposed between the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22. One side of the second connecting block 212 is fixedly connected to the side frame 1. The fixing sleeve 24 is respectively fixedly installed at the ends of the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22. The through hole is respectively opened on one side of the first connecting block 23 and the second connecting block 212. The outer wall of the fixing sleeve 24 is slidably sleeved with the inner cavity of the through hole. That is, when the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 rotate relative to the first connecting block 23 through the fixing sleeve 24, the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 can be folded in half. And the opposite ends of the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 can rotate relative to the side frame 1, thereby reducing the distance between the two side frames 1, so as to fold and store the car rack and reduce the space it occupies.

[0040] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the locking assembly includes a limiting component, a first handle plate 25, a second handle plate 26, a locking rod 27, and a locking groove. The limiting component is disposed inside the fixing sleeve 24. The first handle plate 25 is engaged with one side of the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 via the limiting component. The second handle plate 26 is engaged with one side of the side frame 1 via the limiting component. The ends of the locking rod 27 are fixedly connected to the first handle plate 25 and the second handle plate 26, respectively. The locking grooves are respectively opened in the first connecting plate 21, the second connecting plate 22, and the side frame 1. On one side, the outer wall of the locking rod 27 slides and engages with the inner cavity of the locking groove. That is, under the action of the locking rod 27 and the limiting component, the first handle plate 25 can lock the opposite end of the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22, so that the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 are stably in a straight line. The second handle plate 26 can engage and lock the end of the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 connected to the side frame 1 through the locking rod 27, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the opposite ends of the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 and the side frame 1.

[0041] Furthermore, the limiting assembly includes a fixed rod 28, a fixed collar 29, a limiting block 210, and a limiting spring 211. One end of the fixed rod 28 is fixedly connected to the first handle plate 25 and the second handle plate 26, respectively. The fixed collar 29 is fixedly sleeved inside the fixed sleeve 24. The outer wall of the fixed rod 28 is slidably sleeved with the fixed collar 29, and the fixed rod 28 and the fixed sleeve 24 are on the same axis. The fixed rod 28 and the locking rod 27 are not on the same axis. The limiting block 210 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixed rod 28. The limiting spring 211 is slidably sleeved outside the fixed rod 28. The limiting spring 211 is located between the fixed collar 29 and the limiting block 210. Multiple limiting springs 211 can provide an elastic force to the first handle plate 25 and the second handle plate 26 through the limiting block 210 and the fixed rod 28, thereby ensuring the stability of the first handle plate 25 and the second handle plate 26 driving the locking rod 27 to engage with the locking groove.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
