Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile roof rack installation technology, specifically an automobile roof rack. Background Technology

[0002] A roof rack is a storage device installed on the roof of a car, effectively expanding the interior space by placing items on the roof. It is especially suitable for carrying luggage, equipment, and other large items when traveling, providing convenience for travel. However, roof racks increase wind resistance, which in turn leads to increased fuel consumption, so it is recommended to remove them if the vehicle is not in use for an extended period.

[0003] Current roof racks on the market suffer from significant issues with ease of installation and removal: most products use bolts for fastening, requiring specialized tools for both installation and disassembly, making the process rather cumbersome. To address this, we propose a new type of car roof rack to resolve these pain points of tedious installation and disassembly. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a car roof rack that solves the problem of cumbersome installation and removal of existing roof racks by using a combination of installation and disassembly components.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A car roof rack includes a base frame, with extension seats symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the base frame, and an inclined plate mounted on the base frame. It also includes: a solar panel mounted on the inclined plate, with an LED light mounted on one side of the solar panel and on the base frame; a mounting component mounted on the roof and the extension seat for mounting the base frame; and a disassembly component mounted on the mounting component for disassembling the base frame. Multiple sets of both the mounting and disassembly components are included.

[0006] Preferably, the mounting component includes symmetrically mounted brackets on the roof of the vehicle, each bracket having a groove inside, each bracket having a through groove symmetrically arranged inside, and each through groove having an elastic pad installed inside.

[0007] Preferably, a locking block is fixedly connected inside the extension seat, and the locking block has symmetrically opened mounting slots inside, with a telescopic spring fixedly connected inside each of the two mounting slots.

[0008] Preferably, baffles are fixedly connected to the outside of both of the telescopic springs, and protrusions are fixedly connected to the outside of both of the baffles.

[0009] Preferably, an electromagnetic attractor is installed at the bottom of the card block, and a magnetic attractor is installed inside the card holder. The electromagnetic attractor attracts the magnetic attractor when the power is on.

[0010] Preferably, the disassembly component includes positioning cylinders symmetrically installed outside the card holder, and a push rod is slidably connected inside the positioning cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, the push rods on the sides that are close to each other all pass through the through groove and are fixedly connected to a top rod.

[0012] Preferably, a return spring is sleeved on the outside of the push rod. One end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning cylinder, and the other end of the return spring is fixedly connected to a cam. The cam is fixedly connected to the push rod.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model is equipped with an installation component. By inserting the card block inside the extension seat into the groove inside the card seat, and at the same time inserting the protrusion into the through groove, the installation of the base frame can be completed quickly. Then, the electromagnetic suction and magnetic block are activated to attract the frame, which further enhances the stability of the roof rack installation and simplifies the installation process. 2. This utility model is equipped with a disassembly component. When it is necessary to disassemble the base frame, the electromagnetic suction is turned off. Then, by pressing the push rod, the push rod drives the top rod to squeeze the protrusion, causing it to retract into the mounting groove. Then, the protrusion can be pulled out upwards. It can be quickly disassembled without the aid of external tools, which is convenient for the maintenance and disassembly of the car roof rack. 3.

[0016] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention and to enable those skilled in the art to implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be used in other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0018] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6 The illustration shows a car roof rack, including a base frame 1 made of high-strength aluminum alloy with anodized finish. Aluminum alloy combines lightweight and high load-bearing capacity, and the anodized layer resists rain and UV corrosion, preventing rust over time. An extension seat 2, made of the same high-strength aluminum alloy as the base frame 1, is symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the base frame 1 via laser welding. A tilting plate 3, made of fiberglass-reinforced engineering plastic, is mounted on the base frame 1, its area matching that of the solar panel 4, and its surface has anti-slip texture. The rack also includes a solar panel 4 mounted on the tilting plate 3, comprising a solar panel, a lithium battery, and... The system includes an inverter, a solar panel 4, and an LED light 5 mounted on one side of the solar panel 4 and on the base frame 1. The LED light 5 has an aviation aluminum body and a PC transparent cover. It also includes a mounting component 6 mounted on the roof and extension seat 2, which is used to mount the base frame 1. Additionally, it includes a disassembly component 7 mounted on the mounting component 6, which is used to disassemble the base frame 1. Multiple mounting components 6 and 7 are included. The solar panel receives sunlight and generates direct current (DC), which is stored in a lithium battery via a controller. The lithium battery outputs 12V DC, which is converted to the required voltage by the inverter to power the LED light 5 and the electromagnetic chuck 15, achieving energy self-sufficiency and saving on-board power.

[0019] Furthermore, the mounting component 6 includes symmetrically mounted mounting brackets 9 on the roof. The mounting brackets 9 can be welded to the roof, with pre-reserved mounting space during vehicle production. The mounting brackets 9 are made of 304 stainless steel with a brushed surface. The inner side has pre-reserved mounting positions for magnetic blocks 16. Both mounting brackets 9 have internal grooves 10, the dimensions of which precisely match the dimensions of the mounting blocks 8, ensuring smooth and secure insertion. Both mounting brackets 9 also have symmetrically arranged through-slots 17 communicating with the grooves 10. These through-slots 17 provide space for the protrusions 14 to engage, achieving secondary fixation between the mounting blocks 8 and the mounting brackets 9. Both through-slots 17 are equipped with springs. The elastic pad 18 is made of rubber and fits perfectly against the inner wall of the through groove 17. The nitrile rubber has good elasticity and is resistant to aging. When the protrusion 14 is inserted, it can fill the gap, reduce abnormal noise during driving, and enhance the sealing performance to prevent rainwater from entering, further improving the stability of the roof rack installation. During installation, the bracket 9 is initially fixed to the roof by welding or by using 3M double-sided tape on the bottom. After the clip 8 is inserted into the groove 10, the protrusion 14 squeezes the elastic pad 18 and inserts it into the through groove 17. After the elastic pad 18 rebounds, it wraps around the protrusion 14, achieving a tight connection between the clip 8 and the bracket 9. The magnetic block 16 and the electromagnetic suction 15 work together to further strengthen the fixation.

[0020] Specifically, the extension base 2 has a fixedly connected locking block 8 inside. The locking block 8 is made of aluminum alloy and is integrally die-cast with the extension base 2. The bottom has a reserved mounting hole for electromagnetic suction 15. The locking block 8 has symmetrically opened mounting slots 11 inside. The mounting slots 11 provide mounting space for the telescopic springs 12. The bottom of the slot has a spring positioning post (not shown in the figure). The positioning post prevents the spring from shifting. Both mounting slots 11 have fixedly connected telescopic springs 12 inside. The material is 65Mn manganese steel. The telescopic springs 12 have good elasticity and are not easy to fatigue after long-term use.

[0021] Meanwhile, baffles 13 are fixedly connected to the outside of both telescopic springs 12. The baffles are made of ABS engineering plastic and slide in fit with the mounting groove 11. ABS plastic has good wear resistance and low noise when sliding, which can avoid wear caused by direct metal-to-metal friction. Protrusions 14 are fixedly connected to the outside of both baffles 13. The protrusions 14 are made of hard plastic wrapped with rubber. The rubber outer layer reduces the impact force when it is inserted into the through groove 17. The arc-shaped head makes it easy to insert smoothly and avoid jamming.

[0022] When the locking block 8 is inserted into the groove 10, the protrusion 14 is squeezed by the inner wall of the locking seat 9 and retracts into the mounting groove 11, while pushing the baffle 13 to compress the telescopic spring 12; when the protrusion 14 moves to the position of the through groove 17, the telescopic spring 12 rebounds, pushing the baffle 13 and the protrusion 14 to extend, and the protrusion 14 is inserted into the through groove 17, thus fixing the locking block 8 and the locking seat 9.

[0023] An electromagnetic attractor 15 is installed at the bottom of the card block 8. The electromagnetic attractor 15 is made of neodymium iron boron permanent magnet and an electromagnetic coil. It is installed at the bottom of the card block 8 and its surface is nickel-plated for rust prevention. The connecting wire is hidden inside the extension seat 2. A magnetic block 16 is installed inside the card seat 9. The magnetic block 16 is made of ferrite and is integrally embedded with the card seat 9. When the electromagnetic attractor 15 is energized, it attracts the magnetic block 16. After the solar panel 4 supplies power to the electromagnetic attractor 15, the electromagnetic coil generates a magnetic field, which attracts the magnetic block 16 in the card seat 9, further strengthening the connection between the card block 8 and the card seat 9 and preventing the protrusion 14 from dislodging from the through groove 17 due to vehicle bumps.

[0024] By inserting the locking block 8 inside the extension seat 2 into the groove 10 inside the seat 9, and at the same time inserting the protrusion 14 into the through groove 17, the installation of the base frame 1 can be completed quickly. Then, the electromagnetic suction 15 is activated to attract the magnetic block 16, which further enhances the stability of the roof rack installation.

[0025] Example 2: This embodiment is a further explanation of Example 1, based on... Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, it is worth noting that the disassembly component 7 includes positioning cylinders 19 symmetrically installed on the outside of the card holder 9. The positioning cylinders 19 are made of aluminum alloy, are cylindrical, and are coaxial with the through groove 17. A push rod 20 is slidably connected inside the positioning cylinder 19. The push rod 20 is made of stainless steel, with an anti-slip button at one end made of rubber. It slides in cooperation with the positioning cylinder 19, with the button end extending 1cm outside the positioning cylinder 19 and the other end welded to the top rod 21. The stainless steel is rust-proof, the anti-slip button is easy to press, and the sliding cooperation ensures smooth operation. When the push rod 20 is pressed, the push rod 20 can extend into the interior of the positioning cylinder 19.

[0026] Specifically, each of the push rods 20 has a through groove 17 on one side that is close to the other and is fixedly connected to a push rod 21. The push rod 21 is made of aluminum alloy and is used to press the protrusion 14 so that it retracts into the mounting groove 11.

[0027] Further reference Figure 3 - Figure 6 As shown, a return spring 23 is sleeved on the outside of the push rod 20. The return spring 23 can drive the push rod 20 to return to its original position, which facilitates subsequent disassembly. One end of the return spring 23 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning cylinder 19, and the other end of the return spring 23 is fixedly connected to a cam 22. The cam 22 is made of ABS plastic. The cam 22 is fixedly connected to the push rod 20. The ABS plastic has high strength, and the interference fit ensures that it moves synchronously with the push rod 20.

[0028] During disassembly, press the anti-slip button on the push rod 20. The push rod 20 will move the push rod 21 into the through groove 17. The push rod 21 will press the protrusion 14, causing the protrusion 14 to compress the telescopic spring 12 and retract into the mounting groove 11. At this time, turn off the power of the electromagnetic suction 15. After the magnetic attraction force is lost, the extension seat 2 and the locking block 8 can be pulled upwards to complete the disassembly. After releasing the push rod 20, the reset spring 23 will push the protrusion 22 and the push rod 20 to reset, waiting for the next operation.

[0029] The principle behind this solution is as follows: First, when the roof rack needs to be installed, the base 9 is welded to the top of the roof or glued on. Then, the extension seat 2 at the bottom of the base 1 is aligned with the card seat 9, and the card block 8 is slowly inserted into the groove 10 until a "click" is heard and the protrusion 14 is inserted into the through groove 17. Next, turn on the power switch of the solar panel 4. After the electromagnetic suction 15 is powered on, it will attract the magnetic block 16 to complete the installation. Finally, when it is necessary to remove the luggage rack, turn off the power switch of the solar panel 4, the electromagnetic suction 15 is de-energized and loses its magnetic attraction force, and at the same time press the push rod 20 on the outside of the two card holders 9. The push rod 21 pushes the protrusion 14 back into the mounting groove 11, and pulls the base frame 1 upward to make the card block 8 disengage from the groove 10. The entire luggage rack can then be removed. The push rod 20 will automatically reset under the action of the reset spring 23.
