Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle equipment technology, and in particular to a camping vehicle side step. Background Technology

[0002] A side step is an auxiliary device installed on the side of a vehicle (usually below the door), primarily used to facilitate passenger entry and exit, while also serving a decorative and protective function. Side steps are suitable for vehicles with higher chassis, such as SUVs and pickup trucks, reducing the height difference between the steps taken by the user when getting in and out of the vehicle. With the development of modern society, people enjoy traveling and camping. However, when camping, it's necessary to bring a camping bed for rest or a camping table for storing food, camping utensils, etc. Carrying a folding table alone requires legs or a frame, increasing the number of items in the vehicle and reducing storage space.

[0003] Therefore, a foldable and unfoldable camping vehicle side step is needed. When unfolded, the side step can be used with a bed sheet to serve as a camping bed for people to rest. When unfolded, the side step can be used with a table to place items and tableware, thus enriching the functionality of the side step. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a side step for a camping vehicle, which adopts the following technical solution: A camping vehicle-mounted side step includes a crossbar with a fixing structure for fixing to the vehicle. A rotating component is provided on the crossbar, and a movable rod is provided on the rotating component. The movable rod can be extended through the rotating component to form an extended platform frame with the crossbar, and the movable rod can be retracted to form a side step with the crossbar.

[0005] Preferably, the crossbar is provided with several fixed blocks, and movable rod one is connected to both sides of the crossbar. Movable rod two is connected to one side of movable rod one. Movable rod one and movable rod two are connected to each other by a rotation locking mechanism.

[0006] Preferably, the rotation locking mechanism is provided with a rotation shaft to realize relative rotation of the upper and lower parts, and is also provided with meshing teeth that move up and down to form relative rotation or limit.

[0007] Preferably, a number of positioning holes are provided on the crossbar, and the positioning holes pass through the inner radial direction of the crossbar in the horizontal direction. A number of positioning holes are provided on the movable rod two, and the positioning holes on the movable rod two are corresponding to the positioning holes provided on the crossbar. The positioning pin is inserted and fixed in the positioning hole.

[0008] Preferably, in the folded state, the positioning holes are aligned and fitted together, and the positioning pin passes through the movable rod two and is inserted into the crossbar to limit and lock the movable rod two.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] An embodiment of this utility model provides a camping vehicle-mounted side step.

[0034] Example 1: As Figure 1-4 As shown, a camping vehicle side step includes a crossbar 1 with several fixed blocks 6. Movable rods 3 are connected to both sides of the crossbar 1, and the movable rods 3 are connected to the crossbar 1 via a rotation locking mechanism. The rotation locking mechanism includes a fixed base, a rotating shaft, a pressing block, a spring, a locking element, and a rotating component 201. The fixed base is located at one end of the crossbar, and the rotating component 201 is located at one end of the movable rod 3. A rotating shaft is fixedly mounted on the fixed base, enabling relative rotation between the upper and lower components.

[0035] The locking component has a snap-fit ​​groove at its bottom for engaging with the rotating component. The top of the locking component has an engagement groove, and the bottom surface of the fixing base has engagement protrusions, with the engagement grooves and protrusions corresponding to each other. Preferably, adjacent engagement protrusions are spaced 90 degrees apart. The fixing base has a through hole, through which the bottom protrusion of the pressing block passes and abuts against the upper surface of the locking component. A spring is fitted on the rotating shaft 2, with one end abutting against the locking component and the other end abutting against the rotating component 201. When the pressing block is pressed, the bottom protrusion of the pressing block pushes the locking component downwards, disengaging it from the fixing base, while the spring compresses, allowing the rotating component to rotate freely. When the component rotates to the next engagement point between the toothed groove and the engagement protrusion of the fixing component, the spring resets, causing the toothed groove on the top of the locking component to re-engage with the engagement protrusion below the fixing base, thus locking the component. A second movable rod 4 is connected to one side of the first movable rod 3. The connection between the first movable rod 3 and the second movable rod 4 is also connected by a rotation locking mechanism.

[0036] Several positioning holes 501 are provided on the crossbar 1. The positioning holes 501 are arranged radially inside the crossbar 1 along the horizontal direction. The positioning pin 5 can be inserted into the positioning hole 501.

[0037] Several positioning holes 501 are provided on the movable rod 2 4, and the positioning holes 501 on the movable rod 2 4 correspond one-to-one with the positioning holes 501 provided on the crossbar 1. In the folded state, the positioning holes 501 can be fitted together. After the positioning pin 5 passes through the positioning holes 501 on the movable rod 2 4, it is inserted into the crossbar 1 behind the movable rod 2, thereby limiting and locking the movable rod 2 4 and enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the movable rod 2 4.

[0038] A connecting rod 7 is also provided. The movable rod 2 4 has a hollow cavity, and the connecting rod 7 is movably sleeved within the movable rod 2 4 on one side. Preferably, the length of the connecting rod 7 is less than that of the movable rod 2 4, and the outer diameter of the connecting rod 7 is less than that of the inner diameter of the movable rod 2 4. The connecting rod 7 is provided with limiting holes, the diameter of which corresponds to the positioning holes 501 of the movable rod 2 4. The two limiting holes provided on the connecting rod 7 correspond to the positioning holes 501 near the opening ends of the two movable rods 2 4, respectively.

[0039] Working Principle: This device is installed on the side step of a car. It is used for the side step and connects and secures the fixing block 6 to the car. When unfolded for use, the positioning pin 5 is pulled out of the positioning hole 501, at which point the crossbar 1 and the movable rod 4 are unlocked. The movable rod 3 is pulled outwards. Through the adaptation of the rotating component 201 and the rotating shaft 2, the movable rod 3 on the rotating component 201 rotates. When it rotates to a certain extent, the position of the movable rod 4 is adjusted by rotating the movable rod 4. After the position is adjusted, the two ends of the connecting rod 7 are inserted into the two movable rods 4 respectively, and the positioning pin 5 is inserted into the limiting hole and positioning hole 501 to restrict the movement of the connecting rod 7 inside the movable rod 4. At this time, the telescopic frame is fully unfolded, and a flat board or bed sheet can be placed on the frame for the user to rest or place items. Fixing the table or bed sheet to the frame is a known conventional technique and will not be described further here.

[0040] When storing and using, pull out the two positioning pins 5 that are inserted into the limiting holes, remove the connecting rod 7 from the movable rod 4 on one side, and store it into the inner cavity of the movable rod 4 on one side.

[0041] Rotate movable rod 2 (4) and movable rod 1 (3) back to their original positions. Insert positioning pin 5 to engage the crossbar 1 with movable rod 2 (4). The crossbar 1 restricts the movement of movable rod 2 (4) on both sides, preventing it from moving. Further, align the limiting hole with the positioning hole 501 near the opening end of movable rod 2 (4), and insert positioning pin 5 for limiting. Here, positioning pin 5 passes through movable rod 2 (4), connecting rod 7, and is inserted into the crossbar 1.

[0042] Example 2, as Figure 5 , 6 As shown, in the unfolded state, based on the structure of Embodiment 1, preferably, a positioning pin 5 is inserted into the positioning hole 501 of the movable rod 4. A hanging cable 8 is also provided, one end of which is sleeved and hooked onto the positioning pin 5 fixed in the positioning hole 501, and the other end of the hanging cable 8 is fixedly mounted to the vehicle body to form a suspended tension state. The fixing of the fixed end of the hanging cable 8 to the vehicle body includes, but is not limited to, methods such as tying it to a luggage rack on the top of the vehicle body, which are common knowledge to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. The sleeve end of the hanging cable 8 is provided with a loop for easy engagement with the positioning pin 5. The direction of the tension of the loop when the hanging cable 8 is mounted ensures that the loop can abut against the movable rod 1 to prevent detachment. Preferably, the positioning pin 5 is a threaded pin, and the loop has threads that mate with the positioning pin 5. The loop of the hanging cable 8 is connected to the positioning pin 5 through a threaded connection, thereby achieving installation with the frame. Those skilled in the art can also provide technical solutions such as clamp rings to further strengthen the connection strength and stability as needed, which will not be described in detail here.

[0043] Example 3 is based on the structure of Example 1 or Example 2, such as... Figure 1-8As shown, preferably, the movable rod 2 4 is also provided with a support base hole 91, which is vertically located at the bottom of the movable rod 2 4. A support rod 9 is also provided, with a connector at its top. In the unfolded state, the support rod 9 is inserted into the support base hole 91 via the connector at its top, thus fixing the support rod 9. Furthermore, the lower part of the connector has a stepped surface that abuts against the outer wall of the movable rod 2 4, forming a connection limit. In use, the bottom of the support rod 9 abuts against the ground, providing overall support for the frame.

[0044] Preferably, the support rod 9 is configured as a telescopic structure, which allows it to still provide support against the ground in uneven locations. Figure 9 As shown, the support rod 9 is divided into a positioning rod and an adjusting rod. The external positioning rod is inserted into the movable rod 4 via a top connector. The adjusting rod is threaded into the positioning rod. Based on the corresponding threads, the user can retract or extend the support rod by rotating the positioning rod and the adjusting rod, thereby adjusting the support height as needed.

[0045] The telescopic structure of the support rod 9 includes, but is not limited to, common telescopic fixing methods of rods, such as screwing together by the setting and matching of inner and outer rods with threads, and setting holes and spring pins with multiple positions. These are common knowledge to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0046] Example 4: This device is hidden under the normal side pedal of the vehicle body. When needed, the movable rod can be pulled out to expand it into a platform. Other features are the same as in Example 1.

[0047] Example 5: This device is installed separately on the vehicle body. When stored, it is hidden under the vehicle frame. When in use, it is pulled out to expand into a platform.

[0048] This device is preferably installed on SUV vehicles, but corresponding modifications can also be made for other vehicle models.

[0049] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and not restrictive in all respects. The scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims, not by the foregoing description, and is therefore intended to encompass all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0050] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
