Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pickup truck hoods, specifically relating to a hood support device. Background Technology

[0002] Pickup trucks are an important part of the automotive market. A pickup truck is a type of vehicle that uses the front and cab of a sedan while having an open cargo bed. Its characteristics are that it has the comfort of a sedan, strong power, and is more capable of carrying cargo and adapting to bad roads than a sedan. The most common pickup truck model is the double-cab pickup. Pickup trucks can be used as special vehicles, multi-purpose vehicles, official vehicles, and commercial vehicles, as well as family vehicles for carrying cargo, tourism, and rental. The so-called "pickup truck" is a hybrid of sedan and truck. With the expansion of the number of modification enthusiasts, pickup truck modification is becoming an increasingly popular category among modification enthusiasts.

[0003] Existing pickup truck covers are divided into soft covers and hard covers. Due to the need for support and tightness of connection, hard covers are currently more commonly used. However, if a hard cover needs to be fully opened, multiple hard panels need to be folded and erected. Once erected, the cover is very unstable and is prone to tipping over in strong winds or when shaken, posing a serious safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A vehicle cover support device includes a support block, a fixing block, a base plate, a connector, and a telescopic shaft;

[0006] The fixing block is connected to the front rail, and a telescopic shaft is connected inside the fixing block. The telescopic shaft is connected to a spring and a lever.

[0007] The base plate is connected to the fixing block, and both the base plate and the fixing block are used to support the telescopic shaft.

[0008] The support block is rotatably connected to the fixed block.

[0009] By installing a support device, the upright hood can be supported, effectively preventing the hood from accidentally tipping over.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing block has an internal mounting cavity, a mounting part, and a through hole. One side of the mounting cavity is connected to the mounting part, and the other side of the mounting cavity is connected to the through hole. The mounting part has mounting holes on both sides.

[0011] Furthermore, the base plate is provided with connecting holes and support grooves. Slide rails are provided on both sides of the connecting holes, and the support grooves are used to support the telescopic shaft. The base plate is provided with a lower positioning hole, and the fixing block is provided with an upper positioning hole. The lower and upper positioning holes are connected by a tightening screw. The fixing block mates with the base plate to form an internal cavity for installing the telescopic shaft and spring. Finally, the fixing block is connected to the front rail by a tightening screw. The front rail is provided with a connecting groove, and the locking head of the fixing block is located in the connecting groove and can slide along the connecting groove. Finally, the fixing block is tightened into the connecting groove by a tightening screw, at which point the fixing block is fixed in position with the connecting groove, and the tightening screw is threadedly connected to the upper or lower positioning hole.

[0042] When the hood 2 is upright, it is easy for it to tip over if there is strong wind or shaking. Therefore, adding a support device to support the upright hood 2 greatly improves safety.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the fixing block 32 has an installation cavity 323, an installation part 321 and a through hole 324 (the through hole 324 can also be designed as a groove, as long as the telescopic shaft 37 can pass through and the spring 38 is tightened). One side of the installation cavity 323 is connected to the installation part 321, and the other side of the installation cavity 323 is connected to the through hole 324. The installation part 321 has installation holes 322 on both sides.

[0045] The base plate 34 is provided with a connecting hole 341 and a support groove 342. The connecting hole 341 is provided with slide rails 343 on both sides, and the support groove 342 is used to support the telescopic shaft 37.

[0046] The base plate 34 is provided with a lower positioning hole 344, and the fixing block 32 is provided with an upper positioning hole 326. The lower positioning hole 344 and the upper positioning hole 326 are connected by a tightening screw.

[0047] The fixing block 32 mates with the base plate 34 to form an internal cavity for mounting the telescopic shaft 37 and the spring 38. Finally, the fixing block 32 is connected to the front rail 21 by fastening screws. The front rail 21 has a connecting groove 22. The locking head 327 of the fixing block 32 is located in the connecting groove 22 and can slide along the connecting groove 22. Finally, the fixing block 32 is pressed against the connecting groove 22 by fastening screws, at which point the position of the fixing block 32 and the connecting groove 22 is fixed.

[0048] Example 3:

[0049] Based on Example 2, such as Figure 8 As shown, the telescopic shaft 37 includes a shaft body 371, and the shaft body 371 is connected to a first baffle 372 and a second baffle 373. An intermediate groove 374 is provided between the first baffle 372 and the second baffle 373.

[0050] The end of the shaft 371 that extends into the support block 31 is chamfered. The shaft 371 can move axially within the mounting cavity 323. When the telescopic shaft 37 extends, the first baffle 372 abuts against the front side of the mounting cavity 323. When the telescopic shaft 37 retracts, the second baffle 373 abuts against the rear side (support wall 325) of the mounting cavity 323.
