[0033] The support rod 22 includes a first sub-rod 221 and a second sub-rod 222. One end of the first sub-rod 221 is rotatably connected to the first support base 21, and the end of the first sub-rod 221 facing away from the first support base 21 is rotatably connected to the second sub-rod 222. The end of the second sub-rod 222 facing away from the first sub-rod 221 is rotatably connected to the second support base 23. Preferably, the support rod 22 can be a mechanically tilting and stopping support rod, which can adjust the angle of the luggage rack according to the actual needs of the customer, bringing more flexibility and convenience to passengers.
[0034] The first hinge 11 includes a fixed blade 111, a movable blade 112, a fixed sleeve 114, a movable sleeve 115, and a connecting rod 113. One end of the fixed blade 111 is connected to the fixed sleeve 114, and the fixed sleeve 114 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 113. One end of the movable blade 112 is connected to the movable sleeve 115, and the movable sleeve 115 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 113. The structure of the second hinge 12 is the same as that of the first hinge 11. Preferably, the first hinge 11 can be a 180-degree aluminum alloy hinge, and the second hinge 12 can be a 270-degree aluminum alloy hinge.
[0035] The mounting plate 4 includes an upper mounting plate 41, a middle mounting plate 42, and a lower mounting plate 43. One end of the middle mounting plate 42 is rotatably connected to the upper mounting plate 41, and the other end of the middle mounting plate 42 is rotatably connected to the lower mounting plate 43. The upper mounting plate 41 is detachably connected to the second support seat 23, and the lower mounting plate 43 is detachably connected to the fixed blade 111. Through the segmented design of the mounting plate 4, it can be better matched with different vehicle models. Even if the interior sidewalls of the vehicle are not flat, the roof rack can be adjusted accordingly through the structure of the mounting plate 4 to achieve a better fit.
[0036] The height of the receiving cavity 10 is greater than the thickness of the tray 3. This design makes it easier for the tray 3 to be placed in the receiving cavity when the first section of the luggage rack is unfolded, so that the storage platform is kept as flat as possible or recessed downwards, which is more conducive to the storage of items.
[0037] Two actuating balls 31 are provided on the side of the tray 3 facing away from the mounting frame 1. The two actuating balls 31 are located on opposite sides of the tray 3. Two actuating ball bases 24 are provided on the side of the base plate 2 facing the mounting frame 1. The two actuating ball bases 24 are located on opposite sides of the base plate 2. The actuating balls 31 and the actuating ball bases 24 are matched and can be detachably connected. When the tray 3 is unfolded, baffles are also provided around it, which can effectively protect the luggage placed on the luggage rack, ensure the stability of the storage platform when unfolded, and provide better protection for the luggage.
[0038] The pin seat 13 is provided with a pin seat through hole 131 that penetrates the pin seat 13, and a pin nylon sleeve 14 is provided in the pin seat through hole 131. The indexing pin 15 is matched with the pin nylon sleeve 14.
[0039] The indexing pin 15 can be a handle-side lock type indexing pin. The indexing pin 15 can be installed on the mounting plate 4 simultaneously, which can effectively ensure the stability of the luggage rack when the vehicle is not in use, even when the vehicle is bumpy, and also ensure the stability of the luggage rack when it is folded, thus avoiding accidental opening that could injure passengers.
[0040] Specifically, when installing a roof rack, the form of mounting plate 4 can be selected according to different vehicle models and interior environments. Since mounting plate 4 has a three-section structure, it can adapt to some uneven interior side walls. When the roof rack is installed in the vehicle through mounting plate 4, it is kept in a folded state, which does not take up too much space in the vehicle and does not affect the passenger experience. At the same time, since it is a detachable connection, it is more convenient to disassemble, install, and maintain in the future.
[0041] Secondly, when passengers need to use the luggage rack, they can open the indexing pin 15 on the side wall of the luggage rack. After the indexing pin 15 is pulled out from the pin seat 13, the folded luggage rack can be pulled down. Since the support rod 22 is a tilt-down support rod, passengers can adjust it to a suitable angle to place their luggage according to their needs. Even better, when the luggage rack tilts down less than 90 degrees, even if the luggage is too heavy and exceeds the bearing capacity of the tilt-down support rod, the luggage rack will tilt down further to 90 degrees. Since the support rod 22, the mounting bracket 1 and the mounting plate 4 form a triangular load-bearing structure, the load-bearing capacity can be further expanded, and the unfolding angle of the luggage rack can be stably maintained at 90 degrees, thereby maintaining the stability of the luggage rack.
[0042] Finally, when passengers need to use the luggage rack to place more or larger items, they can further remove the tray 3 from the receiving cavity 10, flip it over and unfold it. Since the second hinge 12 is a 270-degree aluminum alloy hinge, when flipped over, the second hinge 12 provides a stable support force to the tray 3. At the same time, the triangular load-bearing structure provided by the support rod 22, mounting bracket 1, and mounting plate 4 remains effective, further increasing the effective storage capacity of the luggage rack. It can accommodate customers with more and larger luggage, truly achieving adjustability and adaptability according to customer needs.
[0043] Specifically, the embodiments of this utility model propose a modular in-vehicle luggage rack in which some of the components, such as mounting bracket 1, base plate 2, tray 3, mounting plate 4, connecting component 20, first hinge 11, and second hinge 12, are all detachable and connectable. The materials and sizes can be replaced according to actual needs. It should be noted that the actual needs referred to here include, but are not limited to, the type of vehicle, load-bearing requirements, the size of the placement space, and others, truly achieving a modular structure that is both convenient and practical.
[0044] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
[0045] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
