Detailed Implementation
[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0020] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.
[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 9 This application provides a detailed description of an improved spare tire bracket through specific embodiments and application scenarios.
[0022] Some embodiments of this application disclose an improved spare tire 500 bracket, including a mounting plate 300, a second connecting plate 200, a first connecting plate 400, and two side plates 100.
[0023] like Figures 1-3 As shown, two side panels 100 are arranged facing each other, and a mounting plate 300 is disposed on one side of the side panel 100 in the width direction and connected to the two side panels 100. The connection between the mounting plate 300 and the two side panels 100 ensures the stability of the connection of the mounting plate 300, so that the mounting plate 300 can effectively resist bump loads and lateral impacts.
[0024] The mounting plate 300 can be connected to the two side plates 100 by bolts, welding, or integral molding. It can be flexibly set according to design requirements, and this embodiment does not limit it.
[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the side of the mounting plate 300 closest to the side plate 100 is used to connect the spare tire 500, while the side furthest from the side plate 100 is used to connect to the vehicle. By placing the spare tire 500 on the side of the mounting plate 300 closest to the side plate 100, the two side plates 100 can directly resist lateral impacts such as flying gravel and scratches from tree branches, thus protecting the spare tire 500.
[0026] like Figures 4-7As shown, the first connecting plate 400 is detachably mounted on the top or bottom of the two side plates 100. When the first connecting plate 400 is mounted on the top of the two side plates 100, it can protect the top of the spare tire 500, reducing the probability of the spare tire 500 being scratched by flying sand and gravel or getting wet from rain. After the spare tire 500 is removed, when the first connecting plate 400 is mounted on the bottom of the two side plates 100, the first connecting plate 400, the hanging plate 300, and the two side plates 100 form a space for placing miscellaneous items and temporary storage, increasing the storage capacity and functionality of the spare tire bracket.
[0027] The first connecting plate 400 is connected to the top or bottom of the two side plates 100 by bolts. This bolted connection allows for quick disassembly and installation of the first connecting plate 400. Furthermore, the bolted connection ensures a stable connection between the first connecting plate 400 and the two side plates 100. The elastic deformation range of the bolted connection effectively absorbs the peak impact energy caused by vehicle bumps, preventing plastic deformation at the connection point.
[0028] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the second connecting plate 200 is located on the opposite side of the side plate 100 in the width direction. During vehicle operation, the side wall of the second connecting plate 200 is in close contact with the two side plates 100 to protect the spare tire 500 and reduce the probability of the spare tire 500 being scratched by flying gravel.
[0029] like Figures 4-7 As shown, the second connecting plate 200 is rotatably connected to the two side plates 100. This rotatable connection allows the second connecting plate 200 to rotate within a certain angle range. When needed, the second connecting plate 200 can be flipped to form a tabletop, providing a stable working surface suitable for scenarios such as setting up camping cooking equipment or storing repair tools, further enhancing the functionality of this spare tire holder.
[0030] Among them, the width direction of the side panel 100 is as follows Figure 3 As shown in W in the diagram.
[0031] like Figures 4-7As shown, the second connecting plate 200 can rotate between a first position and a second position. When the second connecting plate 200 is in the first position, it is parallel to the side plate 100. When the second connecting plate 200 is in the second position, it is perpendicular to the side plate 100. This dual-state design of the second connecting plate 200—parallel to the side plate 100 for storage and unfolded perpendicular to the side plate 100 as a workbench—achieves a highly efficient balance between space efficiency and functional expandability. When the second connecting plate 200 is in the first position, the outer contour of the spare tire 500 bracket does not exceed the vehicle's clearance limits, thus meeting road regulations and protecting the spare tire 500. When the second connecting plate 200 is in the second position, it is perpendicular to the side plate 100, ensuring that the second connecting plate 200 automatically forms a horizontal reference plane when unfolded, creating a working platform and increasing the functionality of the spare tire 500 bracket.
[0032] In this preferred embodiment, the second connecting plate 200 and the side plate 100 are rotatably connected by a damping shaft. It should be noted that the damping shaft is prior art and is not an improvement of this application; its structure will not be described in detail here.
[0033] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the two ends of the second connecting plate 200 are connected to the two side plates 100 by pull ropes 210. When the second connecting plate 200 is in the second position, the pull ropes 210 are taut so that the pull ropes 210, the side plates 100 and the first connecting plate 400 form a triangular structure, increasing the first connecting plate 400's ability to bear heavy loads.
[0034] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the mounting plate 300 includes a plate body 330, a first mounting plate 310, and a second mounting plate 320. The first mounting plate 310 is disposed on the side of the plate body 330 near the side plate 100 and is used to connect the spare tire 500. The first mounting plate 310 is specifically used for locking the spare tire 500 to facilitate the connection of the spare tire 500. At the same time, the first mounting plate 310 is disposed on the side of the plate body 330 near the side plate 100 so that the two side plates 100 can protect the spare tire 500.
[0035] like Figure 9 As shown, the second mounting plate 320 is located on the side of the plate 330 away from the side plate 100 and is used for connection with the vehicle. The second mounting plate 320 is specifically designed for direct connection with the vehicle, thereby securing the spare tire 500 to the vehicle.
[0036] like Figure 8As shown, the first mounting plate 310 has a first mounting part 311 and a first connecting part 312. The first connecting part 312 is used to connect to the plate body 330, and the first mounting part 311 is used to connect the spare tire 500. Specifically, the first connecting part 312 has multiple positioning pin holes, which are used to connect to the plate body 330 by bolts, and the first mounting part 311 has positioning pin holes, which are used to fix the spare tire 500 by bolts.
[0037] like Figure 8 As shown, there is a gap between the first mounting part 311 and the plate 330. When using an operating wrench to connect or disconnect the spare tire 500, the existence of the gap provides the operating wrench with a certain working space, which facilitates the connection and disconnection of the first mounting part 311 and the spare tire 500.
[0038] like Figure 9 As shown, the second mounting plate 320 has a second mounting portion 321 and a second connecting portion 322. The second connecting portion 322 is used to connect with the plate body 330, and the second mounting portion 321 is used to connect with the vehicle. Specifically, the second connecting portion 322 has multiple locating pin holes for connection with the plate body 330 via bolts, and the second mounting portion 321 has locating pin holes for connection with the vehicle via bolts.
[0039] like Figure 9 As shown, there is a gap between the second mounting part 321 and the plate 330. When using an operating wrench to connect or disconnect the mounting plate 300, the existence of the gap provides the operating wrench with a certain working space, thereby facilitating the connection and disconnection of the mounting plate 300 from the vehicle.
[0040] like Figure 8 As shown, the first mounting plate 310 is bent to form a first mounting portion 311 and a first connecting portion 312. The first mounting portion 311 is the main component that bears the weight of the spare tire 500. By bending to form the first mounting portion 311 and the first connecting portion 312, the yield strength of the first mounting plate 310 can be increased, the section modulus of the first mounting plate 310 can be improved, thereby improving the bending resistance and increasing the structural strength of the first mounting plate 310.
[0041] like Figure 9 As shown, the second mounting plate 320 is bent to form a second mounting portion 321 and a second connecting portion 322. The second mounting plate 320 is the main component supporting the entire spare tire 500 bracket. By bending to form the second mounting portion 321 and the second connecting portion 322, the yield strength of the second mounting plate 320 can be increased, the section modulus of the second mounting plate 320 can be improved, thereby enhancing its bending resistance and structural strength.
[0042] like Figure 1As shown, the first connecting plate 400 has a cavity 410 for storage; when the first connecting plate 400 is fixed to the top of the two side plates 100, the opening of the cavity 410 faces upward. When the first connecting plate 400 is fixed to the top of the two side plates 100, the opening of the cavity 410 faces upward, so that the cavity 410 can hold miscellaneous items and temporary storage, further increasing the functionality of the spare tire 500 bracket.
[0043] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.
[0044] Furthermore, it should be noted that the scope of the methods and apparatus in the embodiments of this application is not limited to performing functions in the order shown or discussed, but may also include performing functions substantially simultaneously or in the reverse order, depending on the functions involved. For example, the described methods may be performed in a different order than described, and various steps may be added, omitted, or combined.
