[0028] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1-9As shown, this vehicle hammock support mainly includes: a connector 1; a main support rod 2, composed of several interlocking rods 3, one end of which is fixed to the connector 1, and the other end is provided with a support frame 4; two adjustable-length support rods 5, which are respectively hinged to the bottom sides of the connector 1. The support rods 5 can be rotated and folded to be stored towards the main support rod 2, and the stored support rods 5 can be parallel to the main support rod 2 for easy storage; the main support rod 2 extends horizontally, and the support frame 4 at its end is used for erection on the vehicle, while the support rods 5 are supported on the ground. In addition, the main support rod 2 and the support rods 5 are all made of aluminum alloy.

[0029] The following will continue to describe some preferred / improved embodiments based on the above embodiments. Any one of the following embodiments can be selected, or multiple embodiments can be combined.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the connector 1 includes a single insertion part 101 and a pair of rotating parts 102. The two rotating parts 102 are symmetrically formed on the connector. One end of the main support rod 2 is inserted into the insertion part 101 and fixed with fasteners. The top end of the support base rod 5 is hinged to the rotating part 102 and can rotate within the range of the rotating part 102.

[0031] Furthermore, the rotating part 102 has two locking holes 6, and the top of the support rod 5 is provided with a locking mechanism consisting of a spring plate and a ball bearing 7. Placing the spring plate in the locking hole 6 locks the position of the support rod 5, and pressing the spring plate unlocks the support rod 5. Continuing to rotate the support rod 5, under the action of the spring plate, when the ball bearing 7 reaches the position of the other locking hole 6, the ball bearing 7 automatically returns to its position and locks in the locking hole 6. The two locking holes 6 correspond to the two states of the support rod 5 being fully extended and fully folded, respectively. It should be noted that the spring plate is a common technical means in this field, and therefore is not shown in the accompanying drawings. Using the spring plate and ball bearing 7 for unlocking and locking is convenient and allows for quick assembly and disassembly.

[0032] Preferred, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the plug rod 3 is provided with a spring piece and a ball 7. The ball 7 is fixed to the end of the spring piece and protrudes from the outer surface of the plug rod 3. The plug rod 3 is also provided with an assembly hole 8. Several plug rods 3 are assembled by the cooperation of the ball 7 and the assembly hole 8. The ball 7 can also automatically spring back under the action of the spring piece. Pressing the ball 7 can unlock the plug rod.

[0033] Preferred, such as Figure 2-3As shown, the support base rod 5 includes a fixed rod 14 and a telescopic rod 15. One end of the telescopic rod 15 is placed inside the fixed rod 14 and can slide and extend to adjust the length of the support base rod 5. When the hammock bracket is not used, the telescopic rod 15 can be mostly retracted into the fixed rod 14 to reduce the length of the support base rod 5.

[0034] Furthermore, a mounting sleeve 9 is fixed to the bottom of the fixed rod 14, and a locking button 10 is provided on the mounting sleeve 9 via a torsion spring; a plurality of limiting holes 11 are equally spaced on the telescopic rod 15, and the telescopic rod 15 is limited and locked after telescopic movement by the cooperation of the locking button 10 and the limiting holes 11. Specifically, a locking pin is formed on the locking button 10. After pressing the locking button 10, one end of the locking button 10 with the locking pin is lifted, and the locking pin is disengaged from the limiting hole 11. At this time, the telescopic rod 15 is unlocked and its telescopic range can be adjusted; after releasing the locking button 10, the locking button 10 is reset under the action of the torsion spring, and the locking pin is repositioned into the new limiting hole 11 to complete the locking.

[0035] Specifically, to provide stable support, a support base 12 is fixed to the bottom of the telescopic rod 15.

[0036] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the support frame 4 is hinged to the end of the main support rod 2 via a spherical hinge 13. The support frame 4 can rotate in any direction, making it easy to adjust the position of the support frame 4 so that it can be properly placed on the vehicle. The support frame 4 plays a role in strengthening the connection and stability between the hammock bracket and the vehicle.

[0037] like Figure 7 As shown, this is the hammock support frame after folding. The two supporting base rods 5 are close to each other, close to and parallel to the main support rod 2. Most of the telescopic rod 15 is stored inside the fixed rod 14. The multi-section plug-in rod 3 is separated and stored separately. After folding, it is compact in size, making it convenient to carry and store.

[0038] like Figure 8-9 The diagram shown is a reference image of the hammock bracket in use. One end of the main support rod 2 and the support frame 4 are mounted on the roof of the vehicle, serving as a fulcrum for the hammock bracket. The hammock bracket does not need to be fixed to any specific structure on the vehicle, greatly expanding the application range of this hammock bracket. In addition, multiple hammock brackets of this type can be mounted on a vehicle at the same time. The hammock bracket can be installed and fixed anywhere on the roof of a car with a roof platform or crossbar. It can be mounted left and right, front and back, single or double, making it practical, convenient, and easy to assemble and disassemble.
