Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the traditional passenger vehicle field, specifically the luggage rack assembly in the interior assembly, and relates to a luggage rack support leg. Background Technology

[0002] The luggage rack is an important storage component in the interior of a bus. It is located on both sides of the passenger area and occupies a very large area. Passengers can easily notice it, so the installation effect of the luggage rack has a significant impact on the overall interior of the vehicle.

[0003] like Figure 2 As shown, both domestic and overseas models currently use integrated support legs 3. Generally speaking, the lower ends of the roof rack support legs are respectively provided with side window profiles 1 and end profiles 2.

[0004] Figure 1 The luggage rack is positioned within the vehicle's interior. The dummy's position is in the central aisle area of ​​the bus. The purplish-red border indicates the high visibility area. The support leg mounting point at end profile 2 is in a non-high visibility area, while the mounting point of side window profile 1 is in the high visibility area. Therefore, the exposed mounting point of side window profile 1 affects the overall aesthetics. The current solution is to find aesthetically pleasing standard parts, but this cannot fundamentally improve the aesthetics.

[0005] like Figure 3 As shown, some high-end models use outriggers with buckles (4), which are relatively expensive (the buckle requires a new mold, making the overall price higher than that of an integrated outrigger) and have low assembly efficiency. The installation structure of the outrigger with buckle (4) involves pre-drilling a nut plate in a relative position and then fastening it from the outside using cross-slot bolts. However, during installation, it is impossible to accurately locate the mounting holes on the nut plate, resulting in low assembly efficiency, and the buckle increases the cost of each outrigger.

[0006] As the focus of vehicle manufacturers on high-end features increases, the requirements for the precision of each component also become more stringent. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a support leg for the roof rack that is easy to assemble and has a high level of precision. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to solve the problems of precision and aesthetics of luggage rack legs, and to provide a new type of luggage rack leg.

[0008] To solve the above problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: The luggage rack legs have side window profiles and end profiles on both sides of the bottom of the legs. One side of the luggage rack legs is connected to the end profile by two first bolts, and the other side of the luggage rack legs is connected to the side window profile by a second bolt.

[0009] The luggage rack support leg includes a support leg body, which connects the end profile support leg and the side window profile support leg. The end profile support leg has two bolt mounting plates at its end, located on both sides of the end profile support leg. Each bolt mounting plate is connected to the end profile by a first bolt. The side window profile support leg has a groove in the middle, with a bolt hole at the bottom of the groove. The bottom of the groove is connected to the side window profile by a second bolt.

[0010] The support leg body, end profile support leg, side window profile support leg, bolt mounting plate, and groove are all integrally formed.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The number of mounting points for the outriggers has been reduced from four to three, reducing assembly time and increasing production efficiency; 2. Concealed mounting points enhance aesthetics and eliminate the need for clips, reducing product costs. Attached Figure Description

[0012] Figure 1 This is a diagram showing the location of the roof rack within the vehicle's interior. Figure 2 Here is a structural diagram of an existing integrated outrigger; Figure 3 This is a structural diagram of the support leg with a buckle cap; Figure 4 This is an overall structural diagram of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0013] 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.

[0014] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0015] like Figure 4As shown, a luggage rack leg 3 has side window profiles 1 and end profiles 2 respectively provided on both sides of its lower bottom end. One side of the luggage rack leg 3 is connected to the end profile 2 by two first bolts 6, and the other side of the luggage rack leg 3 is connected to the side window profile 1 by a second bolt 7. In this way, the original luggage rack leg had 4 mounting points, but this utility model directly reduces one mounting point, with each leg having only 3 mounting points. That is, at the fixing point of the side window profile, the two mounting points are changed to 1 mounting point, which effectively improves production efficiency.

[0016] The luggage rack support leg 3 includes a support body 31, which connects to the end profile support leg 32 and the side window profile support leg 33. The end profile support leg 32 has two bolt mounting plates 34 at its end, located on opposite sides. Each bolt mounting plate 34 is connected to the end profile 2 via a first bolt 6. The side window profile support leg 33 has a groove 35 in the center, with bolt holes at the bottom. The bottom of the groove 35 is connected to the side window profile 1 via a second bolt 7. This conceals one mounting point on the side window profile 1, significantly improving aesthetics.

[0017] It should be noted that the aforementioned support leg body 31, end profile support leg 32, side window profile support leg 33, bolt mounting plate 34, and groove 35 are all integrally formed.

[0018] Additionally, it should be noted that by removing the buckle cap from the outrigger body 31 and using the reverse bolt fixing method, the installation angle of the corresponding outrigger is adjusted so that it can be placed and installed along the bolt direction, thereby achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

[0019] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the overall concept of the present utility model, and these should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
