Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of support rod technology, and in particular to a support assembly for car cover. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle covers play a vital role in vehicle protection, effectively isolating the vehicle body from external environmental factors such as wind, sun, rain, dust, and flying sand and gravel, thereby extending the vehicle's lifespan. Simultaneously, by providing physical protection for the vehicle body, they reduce damage caused by natural factors, helping to safeguard the economic interests of vehicle owners or cargo owners. For larger vehicles, vehicle covers are typically bulky and heavy, requiring significant manpower for deployment and retrieval, resulting in high workload, low efficiency, and poor convenience. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce automated devices to facilitate the deployment and retrieval of vehicle covers.

[0003] In automated solutions, a drive mechanism can be installed on the top of the vehicle body, with multiple support rods arranged on both sides. The output end of the drive mechanism is connected to a hanging frame, on which the vehicle cover is hung. The drive mechanism moves the hanging frame, allowing the vehicle cover to unfold and retract around the vehicle body. During unfolding, the support rods support the vehicle cover, creating a more three-dimensional protective space. However, currently, there is a lack of support rod structures specifically designed for this type of vehicle cover system. Using existing fixed support rods directly presents the following main problems: First, if the support rods are permanently attached to the vehicle body, their lateral dimensions are large, easily interfering with normal vehicle movement; second, if the support rods are only temporarily installed when needed, the operation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, failing to meet the efficiency and convenience requirements of actual use. content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a support component for car cover, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: The support assembly for the car cover includes a connecting rod. The front end of the connecting rod is provided with a concave swing arm receiving groove. The bottom of the swing arm receiving groove is provided with several positioning teeth, and the several positioning teeth together form several positioning grooves. A locking mechanism is provided in the swing arm receiving groove. The locking mechanism includes a sliding block that can be slidably connected to the swing arm receiving groove up and down. The sliding block is provided with a pin that can move back and forth and can be inserted into the positioning groove. The top of the connecting rod is rotatably mounted with a swing arm that can be stored in the swing arm receiving groove. The rear end of the swing arm is provided with a concave support receiving groove. The middle part of the swing arm is hinged with a support rod that can be stored in the support receiving groove. The bottom end of the support rod is hinged to the sliding block.

[0006] Furthermore, a roller is rotatably connected to the end of the swing arm.

[0007] Furthermore, the wall of the swing arm receiving groove is provided with a concave sliding groove; The side wall of the sliding block is provided with a limiting protrusion that cooperates with the sliding groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the support rod is connected to the sliding block via a hinge.

[0009] Furthermore, the locking mechanism also includes a push handle connected to the front end of the sliding block.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom end of the front end of the positioning tooth has an arc surface A; The rear end face of the pin is inclined, and the rear end of the inclined surface has an arc surface B that matches the arc surface A.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer surface of the connecting rod is provided with scale lines.

[0012] Furthermore, the sliding block has an inner cavity; The locking mechanism also includes a rocker plate, the middle of which is rotatably connected to the inner cavity. The rear end of one end of the rocker plate is hinged to the pin via a connector, and the rear end of the other end of the rocker plate is connected to the bottom of the inner cavity via an elastic element. The elastic element acts on the rocker plate, causing the pin to tend to be inserted into the positioning groove.

[0013] Furthermore, a handle is provided at the front end of the other end of the rocker.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention utilizes a locking mechanism to drive the swing arm and support rod to rotate in tandem, easily switching between the unfolded and retracted states. When unfolded, it provides three-dimensional support space for the vehicle cover, enhancing its protective effect; when retracted, the support rod can be accommodated in the support receiving slot, and the swing arm is retracted into the swing arm receiving slot, resulting in a compact overall structure that significantly reduces the space occupied by the vehicle while driving.

[0015] The mechanical locking system employs a pin-and-positioning slot mechanism, combined with the continuous action of an elastic element, ensuring the pin is securely seated within the slot and effectively preventing accidental retraction of the swing arm while in a supported state. Unlocking is achieved by pressing a rocker arm, which easily and precisely disengages the pin from the positioning slot. The curved guide structure allows the pin to smoothly enter the positioning slot, enhancing operational smoothness; the beveled anti-reverse design further prevents accidental pin disengagement, strengthening the reliability of the lock.

[0016] The push handle allows the operator to apply force to move the sliding block and adjust the support status; the introduction of scale lines helps to precisely control the height of the sliding block, making it easy to uniformly or differently adjust the unfolding height of each support component to meet different usage needs.

[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the support assembly for the car cover includes a connecting rod 1. The front end of the connecting rod 1 is provided with a concave swing arm receiving groove 9. The bottom of the swing arm receiving groove 9 is provided with a plurality of positioning teeth 7. The plurality of positioning teeth 7 together form a plurality of positioning grooves 11. A locking mechanism 6 is provided in the swing arm receiving groove 9. The locking mechanism 6 includes a sliding block 61 that can be slidably connected to the swing arm receiving groove 9. A pin 63 that can move back and forth and can be inserted into the positioning groove 11 is provided on the sliding block 61. The top of the connecting rod 1 is rotatably mounted with a swing arm 2 that can be stored in the swing arm receiving groove 9. The rear end of the swing arm 2 is provided with a concave support receiving groove 10. The middle part of the swing arm 2 is hinged with a support rod 4 that can be stored in the support receiving groove 10. The bottom end of the support rod 4 is hinged to the sliding block 61.

[0021] In application, multiple units of this embodiment can be equipped on the same vehicle body, and the rear end of the connecting rod 1 can be connected to the vehicle body.

[0022] When the support assembly needs to be extended to support the car cover, the locking mechanism 6 is moved upward, and the support rod 4 rotates accordingly with the swing arm 2 to form an extended support state. After the swing arm 2 has rotated to the appropriate angle, the pin 63 is moved into the corresponding positioning groove 11 to lock the position of the swing arm 2. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown. The extended swing arm 2 can support the vehicle cover to ensure that the vehicle cover has a more three-dimensional protective space.

[0023] When the support assembly needs to be stored, move the pin 63 forward until it disengages from the positioning slot 11, then move the locking mechanism 6 downward. The support rod 4 and the swing arm 2 will then rotate together to reset. During the rotation, the swing arm 2 will return to its limit position. At this point, the support rod 4 can be stored in the support receiving slot 10, and the swing arm 2 can be partially stored in the swing arm receiving slot 9. Figure 4 As shown, in this state, moving the rear pin 63 into the corresponding positioning slot 11 locks the aforementioned position. The retracted support assembly occupies less space, reducing its impact on vehicle movement.

[0024] Preferably, a roller 3 is rotatably connected to the end of the swing arm 2. The roller 3 reduces the friction between the swing arm 2 and the vehicle cover, making it easier to unfold and retract the vehicle cover.

[0025] It is worth noting here that when roller 3 is provided, when the swing arm 2 is retracted to its limit position, the support rod 4 will be retracted into the swing arm receiving groove 9, and the swing arm 2 will be partially retracted into the swing arm receiving groove 9, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown.

[0026] Preferably, the wall of the swing arm receiving groove 9 is provided with a concave sliding groove 8; The side wall of the sliding block 61 is provided with a limiting protrusion 69 that cooperates with the sliding groove 8.

[0027] In this embodiment, the stability of the sliding block 61 moving up and down can be improved by the cooperation between the limiting protrusion 69 and the sliding groove 8.

[0028] Preferably, the support rod 4 is connected to the sliding block 61 via a hinge 5.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, one leaf of hinge 5 is connected to the bottom end of support rod 4, and the other leaf of hinge 5 is connected to sliding block 61.

[0030] Preferably, the locking mechanism 6 further includes a push handle 66 connected to the front end of the sliding block 61.

[0031] The push handle 66 allows the operator to easily move the sliding block 61 up and down to unfold and retract the swing arm 2. When the swing arm 2 is equipped with rollers 3, the push handle 66 can also provide corresponding support for the rollers 3, such as... Figure 5 As shown.

[0032] Preferably, the bottom end of the front end of the positioning tooth 7 has an arc surface A71; The rear end face of the pin 63 is inclined 631, and the rear end of the inclined surface has an arc surface B632 that matches the arc surface A71.

[0033] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the arc surface A71 and the arc surface B632 facilitates the insertion of the pin 63 into the positioning groove 11; the setting of the inclined surface 631 can play a backstop effect on the pin 63, preventing the pin 63 from falling out of the positioning groove 11 and causing the sliding block 61 to fall unexpectedly.

[0034] Preferably, the outer surface of the connecting rod 1 is provided with scale lines 12.

[0035] In this embodiment, the scale line 12 can facilitate the determination of the height position of the sliding block 61 when it moves up and down. In this way, it is convenient to uniformly or diversely control the extension state of each support component.

[0036] Preferably, the sliding block 61 has an inner cavity 68; The locking mechanism 6 also includes a rocker plate 65, which is rotatably connected to the inner cavity 68 at its middle part. The rear end of one end of the rocker plate 65 is hinged to the pin 63 via a connector 64, and the rear end of the other end of the rocker plate 65 is connected to the bottom of the inner cavity 68 via an elastic member 62. The elastic member 62 acts on the rocker plate 65, causing the pin 63 to tend to be inserted into the positioning groove 11.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, the sliding block 61 can limit the forward and backward movement of the pin 63 to ensure that the pin 63 can be inserted into the positioning groove 11. Under the support of the elastic member 62, the pin 63 can be inserted into the corresponding positioning groove 11 to achieve a locking effect; when unlocking is required, the other end of the rocker 65 is pressed towards the front end, and at this time, one end of the rocker 65 will drive the pin 63 out of the positioning groove 11 through the connecting member 64 to achieve an unlocking effect. The pin 63 is hinged to the rocker 65 through the connecting member 64, which can meet the angle change requirements of the rocker 65 during rotation.

[0038] Preferably, a handle 67 is provided at the front end of the other end of the rocker 65. The handle 67 facilitates the operator to press the rocker 65 firmly, achieving a quick unlocking effect.
