Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle roof rack technology, and in particular to an automotive platform connecting bracket. Background Technology

[0002] SUVs and off-road vehicles have become popular choices for family commuting and road trips due to their excellent off-road capability and spacious interiors. To meet cargo needs, in addition to the trunk space, users often need to use the roof strips built into the sides of the vehicle to secure large or oversized luggage and tools, such as bicycles, surfboards, suitcases, or roof tents.

[0003] Currently, there are two main ways to secure items to the roof of a vehicle: one is to directly tie or secure luggage or tools to the roof rack. While this method is straightforward, the frequent shaking and friction of items during vehicle operation can easily wear down the paint on the roof and even cause sheet metal damage. The other method is to use dedicated mounting brackets or install an integrated roof rack platform. Although the latter provides a more stable load-bearing base, its connectors are usually custom-made for specific vehicle models or roof racks with specific cross-sectional shapes, which presents significant limitations.

[0004] The market is seeking a universal automotive platform mounting bracket that can adapt to various car models and roof racks of different cross-sectional sizes, providing a secure and stable fixation while effectively protecting the vehicle itself and having broad applicability.

[0024] Example Reference Figures 1 to 3 The present invention proposes a car platform connecting bracket, comprising: a bracket base 10, a first clamping plate 20, a second clamping plate 30, a movable seat 40, and a locking bolt 50; The support base 10 includes a base plate 11 and an adjustment rail 12 disposed on the base plate 11; one end of the adjustment rail 12 is open and the other end is provided with a fixed seat 13; a movable seat 40 can slide into the adjustment rail 12 from the open side; a locking bolt 50 passes through the fixed seat 13 and is threadedly connected to the movable seat 40; rotating the locking bolt 50 can change the relative position between the movable seat 40 and the fixed seat 13; the base plate 11 has a number of straight slots for fixing the vehicle platform. The first clamping plate 20 and the second clamping plate 30 are detachably installed on the movable seat 40 and the fixed seat 13 respectively by clamping plate bolts 60; the top of the first clamping plate 20 and the second clamping plate 30 are provided with arc-shaped hooks for abutting the bottom of the roof luggage strip; the adjusting rail 12, the movable seat 40, the fixed seat 13, the first clamping plate 20 and the second clamping plate 30 form a clamping wall 70 for clamping the roof luggage strip.

[0025] In this invention, the adjusting mechanism consisting of "adjusting rail 12, movable seat 40, and locking bolt 50" enables stepless adjustment of the clamping width, allowing it to adapt to various sizes and cross-sectional shapes of car roof rails, fundamentally solving the problem of poor versatility of traditional brackets. The detachable clamping plate design not only facilitates maintenance and replacement, but its arc-shaped hook at the top can fit tightly against the underside of the roof rail, ensuring even and stable force distribution. Simultaneously, the straight slots on the base plate 11 provide flexible installation positions for the upper car platform, facilitating fine-tuning and alignment. The clamping enclosure 70 formed by the entire structure provides all-around clamping of the roof rail, ensuring the integrity of the connection and safety and reliability during driving.

[0026] In this embodiment, a buffer protection strip is provided on the inner side of the clamping wall 70. By providing a buffer protection strip on the inner side of the clamping wall 70, this buffer protection strip (such as a rubber strip or fabric strip) acts as a soft medium, directly contacting the surface of the car roof strip. This effectively avoids scratches and wear on the paint surface of the roof strip caused by hard contact with the metal bracket, greatly protecting the original vehicle parts.

[0027] In this embodiment, a cylindrical tube 131 is provided in the middle of the fixing base 13, and the cylindrical tube 131 is used to pass through the locking bolt 50. The cylindrical tube 131 in the middle of the fixing base 13 to pass through the locking bolt 50 provides stable, coaxial support and guidance for the locking bolt 50.

[0028] In this embodiment, the fixing base 13 is provided with a longitudinally extending clamping plate groove 132, and the second clamping plate 30 is slidably installed in the clamping plate groove 132; the fixing base 13 is provided with a longitudinally extending straight slot hole for passing through the clamping plate bolt 60. By providing the clamping plate groove 132 and the longitudinal straight slot hole, the second clamping plate 30 has longitudinal (perpendicular to the clamping direction) adjustment capability on the fixing base 13. This design allows the user to fine-tune the vertical position of the second clamping plate 30 before final locking, ensuring that its top arc-shaped hook can accurately abut against the bottom of the roof rack of different heights or with special contours, achieving the best fit effect.

[0029] In this embodiment, a decorative cover 80 is detachably provided on the side of the fixed base 13 opposite to the adjusting rail 12. The decorative cover 80 is used to cover and protect the locking bolt 50 and the clamping bolt 60 installed on the fixed base 13. The decorative cover 80 can effectively cover the exposed fasteners such as the locking bolt 50 and the clamping bolt 60, which not only makes the bracket look cleaner and more streamlined, conforming to modern industrial aesthetics, but more importantly, it can prevent environmental pollutants such as rainwater, dust, and salt spray from directly corroding these metal parts, significantly slowing down their rusting and oxidation process, thereby extending the service life of the bracket and reducing maintenance requirements.

[0030] In this embodiment, the fixed base 13 has connecting walls 133 on both sides of the side opposite to the adjusting rail 12, and the connecting walls 133 are provided with limiting ribs 134; the decorative cover 80 has connecting buckles 81 on both sides, and the connecting buckles 81 can be fastened to the limiting ribs 134. The decorative cover 80 and the fixed base 13 are connected by the fastening method of the connecting buckles 81 and the limiting ribs 134. This connection structure can achieve quick assembly and disassembly without additional tools, which greatly facilitates the user to inspect or maintain the internal bolts.

[0031] Furthermore, the inner side of the decorative cover 80 is provided with a central relief cylinder 82, which is used to avoid the end of the locking bolt 50. Several reinforcing ribs 83 extend from the outer periphery of the central relief cylinder 82 toward the outer edge of the decorative cover 80. The central relief cylinder 82 provides a space to accommodate the end of the locking bolt 50, avoiding interference, while its cylindrical structure itself has a certain supporting strength. The outwardly radiating reinforcing ribs 83 greatly enhance the overall rigidity and deformation resistance of the decorative cover 80, enabling it to withstand certain accidental impacts or pressures, preventing breakage or collapse during use, and ensuring the long-term effectiveness of its protective function.

[0032] In this embodiment, the second clamping plate 30 or the movable seat 40 is provided with a longitudinally extending straight slot for inserting the clamping plate bolt 60. The user can adjust the longitudinal installation position of the second clamping plate 30 within a certain range according to the actual shape and clamping angle of the roof luggage strip to find the optimal stress point.

[0033] In this embodiment, the two sides of the adjusting rail 12 have opposing "[" shaped locking structures, and the lower ends of the movable seat 40 are provided with limiting protrusions 41 that engage with the two sides of the adjusting rail 12. The movable seat 40 can only slide smoothly and linearly in a predetermined direction within the adjusting rail 12, without tilting, twisting, or coming off from the side. This greatly improves the smoothness of the adjustment process and the rigidity of the entire clamping mechanism, ensuring that after locking, the movable seat 40 and the adjusting rail 12 will not loosen or make abnormal noise due to bumps, making the connection more stable and reliable.

[0034] In this embodiment, the base plate 11, the adjusting rail 12, and the fixing base 13 are integrally formed. Designing the base plate 11, adjusting rail 12, and fixing base 13 as an integral unit (e.g., through metal casting) completely eliminates the strength weaknesses and assembly errors that might exist with the original separate connections. This integrated structure has extremely high overall rigidity and structural strength, capable of withstanding greater torques and vibrations from the automotive platform and loads, significantly improving the product's mechanical properties and durability. Simultaneously, it reduces the number of parts and assembly steps, which is beneficial for improving production efficiency and reducing costs, while ensuring product consistency and reliability.

[0035] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
