Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of roof rack technology, and in particular to a roof storage platform adapted to a sunroof. Background Technology

[0002] In some rooftop storage platforms, crossbars and longitudinal bars are connected by locking bolts. These bolts engage with elongated longitudinal holes in the longitudinal bars, locking the crossbars to the bars when the bolts are locked. When the bolts are unlocked, the crossbars can slide along the longitudinal holes to allow the sunroof to be opened. Currently, these locking bolts are typically located at the top of the longitudinal bars, requiring users to operate them from the top of the rooftop storage platform. However, this design significantly restricts the user's ability to open the sunroof from inside the vehicle; for example, users cannot directly push the crossbars outside the window from inside the vehicle, preventing them from leaning out of the sunroof.

[0050] Figure 1This is a schematic structural diagram of a roof-mounted storage platform adapted to a sunroof according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, and refer to Figures 2 to 6 This utility model embodiment provides a rooftop storage platform adapted to a sunroof. The rooftop storage platform includes a first vertical bar 100, a first horizontal bar 200, and a locking assembly 300.

[0051] The bottom of the first vertical rod 100 defines a first lower connecting groove 110 extending in the length direction of the rod, and the first lower connecting groove 110 opens downward.

[0052] The first horizontal bar 200 includes a first horizontal bar body 210 perpendicular to the first vertical bar 100. The first horizontal bar body 210 is located on one side of the first vertical bar 100, and its end near the first vertical bar 100 is connected to or integrally formed with a connector 220. The connector 220 overlaps the lower side of the first vertical bar 100, and a through hole 222 is defined on the connector 220 to connect with the slot of the first lower connecting groove 110.

[0053] The locking assembly 300 includes a slider and a locking bolt 310. The slider is anti-rotatingly slidably disposed in the large hole section 111 of the first lower connecting groove 110, and the slider defines a threaded hole that engages with the groove opening of the first lower connecting groove 110. The locking bolt 310 is configured to pass through the through hole 222 of the connector 220 from bottom to top and then be threaded into the threaded hole of the slider, so as to cause the first vertical bar 100 and the first horizontal bar 200 to lock as the locking bolt 310 is screwed in and / or unlock as the locking bolt 310 is screwed out.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first lower connecting groove 110 includes a large hole section 111 and a small hole section arranged sequentially in the vertical direction, and the width of the cross section of the small hole section in the horizontal direction is smaller than that of the large hole section 111. The width of the cross section of the slider in the horizontal direction is greater than that of the small hole section. The slider is preferably a square structure, which is slidably disposed in the large hole section 111 of the first lower connecting groove 110 to prevent rotation, thus avoiding the situation where the first crossbar 200 is rotated when the slider rotates, causing the first crossbar 200 to deviate from its sliding trajectory.

[0055] During the assembly of the roof-mounted storage platform, the sliding component can be placed in the large hole section 111 of the first lower connecting groove 110, and then the connecting component 220, which is connected to or integrally formed with the first horizontal bar 200, can be attached to the lower side of the first vertical bar 100. Then, the locking bolt 310 can be passed through the through hole 222 of the connecting component 220 and the groove of the first lower connecting groove 110 from bottom to top, and finally screwed into the threaded hole of the sliding component.

[0056] When the locking bolt 310 is screwed in, the lower end of the locking bolt 310, i.e., the head of the locking bolt 310, moves upward, thereby providing upward support to the connector 220. After the locking bolt 310 is tightened, the head of the locking bolt 310 and the sliding member clamp the lower groove wall of the first lower connecting groove 110 and the connector 220 together, so that the connector 220 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first vertical rod 100, thereby fixing the first vertical rod 100 and the first horizontal rod 200 together. When it is necessary to move the first horizontal rod 200, part of the locking bolt 310 needs to be suspended, while a portion of the locking bolt 310 is still in the threaded hole, so that the locking bolt 310 supports the connector 220 upward, preventing the connector 220 from falling off. After part of the locking bolt 310 is suspended, the clamping of the lower groove wall of the first lower connecting groove 110 and the connector 220 is relaxed, allowing the lower groove wall of the first lower connecting groove 110 and the connector 220 to move relative to each other. Because the first lower connecting groove 110 limits the sliding part, the first crossbar 200 can move along the extension direction of the first lower connecting groove 110 to avoid the sunroof. After the first crossbar 200 moves to the appropriate position, the locking bolt 310 is tightened again to ensure the connection stability of the first crossbar 200. Since the locking bolt 310 is located on the lower side of the first crossbar 200, the user can directly touch the locking bolt 310 after opening the sunroof glass and adjust the position of the first crossbar 200. This allows the user to move the first crossbar 200 directly from inside the vehicle to avoid the sunroof or to the upper side of the sunroof, without having to get out of the vehicle to move the first crossbar 200 from outside. This solves the problem that the user cannot move the first crossbar 200 from inside the vehicle, thus preventing the opening of the sunroof window 900 of the roof storage platform, and improves the user experience.

[0057] In some embodiments of this utility model, a limiting member is provided at the top of the locking bolt 310 to prevent the locking bolt 310 from disengaging from the first lower connecting groove 110.

[0058] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the connector 220 is connected to the end of the first crossbar 210, and the connector 220 includes a connecting plate 221. The top surface of the connecting plate 221 is flat against the bottom surface of the first crossbar 210, and one end of the connecting plate 221 is connected to the first crossbar 210, while the other end extends from the end of the first crossbar 210 and the extended portion stops below the first vertical bar 100. Furthermore, a through hole 222 is located on the extended portion of the connecting plate 221.

[0059] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 221 and the first crossbar 200 are separate structures to facilitate molding and manufacturing. The top surface of the connecting plate 221 is flat against the bottom surface of the first crossbar body 210 to increase the contact area between the connecting plate 221 and the first crossbar 200, thereby improving the connection strength between the two. The flat structure also facilitates welding or threaded connection between the connecting plate 221 and the first crossbar 200, simplifying the connection method between the two. The connecting plate 221 extends from the end of the first rod body and stops below the first vertical rod 100, which not only increases the connection area between the connecting member 220 and the first vertical rod 100 and ensures the connection stability between the connecting member 220 and the first vertical rod 100, but also ensures the connection stability between the first horizontal rod 200 and the first vertical rod 100, so that the structural strength and stability of the first horizontal rod 200 when it is fixed can meet the requirements for supporting goods and other items placed on the roof platform, but also the flat connecting plate 221 fits into the lower groove wall of the first lower connecting groove 110, which helps to make the clamping of the connecting plate 221 and the lower groove wall of the first lower connecting groove 110 more stable after the locking bolt 310 is tightened. The connecting plate 221 extends from the bottom of the end of the first rod body and connects to the first vertical rod 100, so that the end of the first rod body connected with the connecting piece 220 can be set to fit against the first vertical rod 100. This not only further improves the connection stability of the first rod body, but also makes the first vertical rod 100 guide the movement of the first horizontal rod 200, further preventing the first horizontal rod 200 from deviating when it moves.

[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the connector 220 also includes a reinforcing side plate 223. The reinforcing side plate 223 is connected to the side of the connecting plate 221 and extends along the side length of the connecting plate 221 to cause the connector 220 to extend along the length of the first crossbar 210. Alternatively, the reinforcing side plate 223 is integrally formed on the side of the connecting plate 221.

[0061] In this embodiment, the reinforcing side plate 223 is disposed on the side of the connecting plate 221, which improves the overall structural rigidity and deformation resistance of the connector 220. Furthermore, the reinforcing side plate 223 extends along the side length direction of the connecting plate 221, so that the connector 220 as a whole forms a bending-resistant structure along the length direction of the first crossbar 210, thereby enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the first crossbar 200.

[0062] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first vertical rod 100 is an integrally formed profile, and the first vertical rod 100 defines the cavity 130, the first upper connecting groove 120 and the first lower connecting groove 110.

[0063] The cavity 130 extends along the length of the first vertical rod 100 and is closed on all sides.

[0064] The first upper connecting groove 120 is an upward-opening T-shaped groove, and there are two first upper connecting grooves 120, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the top of the first vertical rod 100.

[0065] The first lower connecting slot 110 is located between the two first upper connecting slots 120. And,

[0066] Cavities 130 are spaced apart below the first upper connecting groove 120, and / or above the first lower connecting groove 110, and / or between the first upper connecting groove 120 and the first lower connecting groove 110.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first vertical rod 100 defines at least one closed cavity 130 extending along its length, thereby improving the torsional and bending stiffness of the first vertical rod 100. The cavity 130 can be located below the first upper connecting groove 120, above the first lower connecting groove 110, or between the two. While ensuring the structural strength of the first vertical rod 100, the design of the cavity 130 can both reduce the overall weight of the first vertical rod 100 and serve as a wiring channel to hide the wire harness. Two upward-opening first upper connecting grooves 120 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the top of the first vertical rod 100, providing mounting positions for other accessories such as the column 610. A first lower connecting groove 110 is provided between the two first upper connecting grooves 120 to accommodate a sliding component. Preferably, the first lower connecting groove 110 is located at the center of the first vertical rod 100 to improve its structural strength.

[0068] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there are two first vertical bars 100, which are located at both ends of the first horizontal bar 200, and there are two connectors 220, which are connected between one of the first vertical bars 100 and one end of the first horizontal bar body 210.

[0069] In this embodiment, two first vertical bars 100 are located at the two ends of the first horizontal bar 200, and each first vertical bar 100 is connected to the corresponding end of the first horizontal bar 200 by a connector 220, forming a stable H-shaped frame. Moreover, the symmetrical connection structure enables the load on the first horizontal bar 200 to be evenly transmitted to the roof, improving the connection stability of the first horizontal bar 200.

[0070] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, there are two first horizontal bars 200, which are spaced apart along the length of the first vertical bar 100. The two first horizontal bars 200 are parallelly distributed at a certain interval along the length of the first vertical bar 100, which increases the overall bearing area and load capacity of the platform.

[0071] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there are two first vertical bars 100 and two first horizontal bars 200. Furthermore, the rooftop storage platform also includes a second vertical bar 400 and a second horizontal bar 500.

[0072] There are two second vertical bars 400, which are spaced apart in the left and right directions.

[0073] There are also two second horizontal bars 500, spaced apart in the front-to-back direction, and each second horizontal bar 500 is directly or indirectly connected to the ends of the two second vertical bars 400, so that the two second vertical bars 400 and the two second horizontal bars 500 form a platform frame 600.

[0074] The first vertical bar 100 extends front and rear, and is located within the platform frame 600. The front end of the first vertical bar 100 is connected to the front second horizontal bar 500, and the rear end is connected to either the rear second horizontal bar 500 or the third horizontal bar 700. The side of the first vertical bar 100 furthest from the first horizontal bar 200 is connected to a second vertical bar 400 via a fourth horizontal bar 800, so that the spacing between the first vertical bars 100 can be designed according to the size of the sunroof to improve the load-bearing capacity of the roof storage platform. The third horizontal bar 700 extends left and right, and its two ends are respectively connected to the opposing sides of the two second vertical bars 400.

[0075] In this embodiment, the rooftop storage platform is fixedly connected to the roof via a second vertical bar 400 or a second horizontal bar 500. When goods or other items are placed within the platform frame 600, they can avoid the movement of the first horizontal bar 200, so that the sunroof window 900 can still be opened while loading items.

[0076] In some embodiments of this utility model, a plurality of fifth crossbars are provided between the third crossbar 700 and the second crossbar 500 which is away from the first crossbar 200. The fifth crossbars extend to the left and right, and the two ends of the fifth crossbars are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the two second vertical bars 400, so as to increase the load-bearing area of ​​the roof storage platform.

[0077] In some embodiments of this utility model, there are two first vertical bars 100, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the first horizontal bar 200. Furthermore, a sunroof window 900 is formed between the two first vertical bars 100, the second horizontal bar 500 or the third horizontal bar 700 connected to the rear end of the first vertical bars 100, and the second horizontal bar 500 connected to the front end of the first vertical bars 100. The sunroof window 900 is located in the central area of ​​the front side of the platform frame 600, allowing the user to open the sunroof window 900 by moving the first horizontal bar 200 to avoid obstructing the car's roof sunroof.

[0078] In some embodiments of this invention, a spoiler is connected to the front side of the platform frame 600. The spoiler is configured to slope upwards from front to rear between the roof and the platform frame 600. The spoiler and platform frame 600 are seamlessly connected to guide airflow smoothly over the platform frame 600, effectively reducing air resistance generated by the roof storage platform during vehicle operation. Simultaneously, the upwardly sloped spoiler structure can also enhance the stability of the front of the roof storage platform at high speeds using airflow downforce, improving the overall safety of the roof storage platform.

[0079] In some embodiments of this utility model, a strip spotlight is connected to the front side of the platform frame 600, the strip spotlight extends to the left and right, and is configured to emit light forward.

[0080] In this embodiment, a strip spotlight is connected to the front of the platform frame 600. The spotlight extends horizontally in the left and right direction, making full use of the lateral space on the front of the platform frame 600 and avoiding wind resistance and height increase caused by adding additional lighting fixtures.

[0081] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the perimeter of the platform frame 600 is connected to the upper fence 620 via at least two posts 610, and the side of the posts 610 facing away from the platform frame 600 defines a mounting slot 611 for installing reflective strips and / or warning lights.

[0082] In this embodiment, an upper fence 620 is connected to the perimeter of the platform frame 600 via at least two pillars 610, forming a double-layer protective structure that effectively increases cargo space and safety. The outer side of the pillars 610 defines mounting slots 611 for fixing reflective strips and / or warning lights. This allows the reflective strips to effectively reflect light and improve vehicle visibility when the vehicle equipped with the rooftop platform is driving at night, in foggy conditions, or other low-visibility environments. The warning lights are actively emitting light and can be used not only for illumination but also as warning signs during engineering operations, emergency rescues, or special transportation.
