Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts, and more particularly to an improvement of an aluminum profile frame-type high cover suitable for pickup trucks. Background Technology

[0002] Pickup trucks, as a type of vehicle that combines cargo and passenger use, are widely used in logistics, engineering operations, and daily travel. However, most traditional pickup truck beds are open-top structures, making the cargo susceptible to rain, dust, and direct sunlight during transport, leading to moisture damage, aging, and even destruction. Furthermore, the exposed cargo in the bed poses a risk of theft. To address these issues, various high-cover pickup truck products have emerged on the market.

[0003] Existing pickup truck canopies are typically made of fiberglass, steel plates, or integral molded parts. While they offer some protection, they still have the following shortcomings: complex structure; integrated molded canopies often require specialized molds and complex processes, resulting in high manufacturing costs; difficult transportation; bulky and difficult to disassemble, occupying a large amount of transportation space and increasing transportation costs; cumbersome installation; traditional canopies mostly rely on welding or bonding, resulting in long installation cycles and hindering users from quickly assembling and disassembling them themselves; insufficient sealing and cushioning; some products lack reasonable sealing and shock absorption designs, making them prone to water leakage, loosening, and noise problems during use.
