[0002] Pickups and RVs, as multi-functional transportation and outdoor living vehicles, directly impact user experience through the flexibility and expandability of their cargo or activity space. Traditional pickup truck beds or RV exterior spaces are typically fixed structures with limited functionality, such as only for loading cargo or simply adding fixed storage boxes. When camping, working outdoors, or transporting special items, users often need to temporarily equip different functional devices (such as toolboxes, tent supports, outdoor kitchens, etc.). However, existing technologies have the following drawbacks: traditional beds or RV exteriors cannot quickly adapt to various scenario requirements; modifications rely on welding or bolting, disassembly is cumbersome, and can damage the vehicle's structure. Furthermore, existing expansion devices on the market are mostly customized designs, such as fixed shelves, making modular assembly difficult. Users need to repeatedly purchase different functional accessories, resulting in high costs and space consumption. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an expansion platform that can be quickly modularly assembled, adapted to various functional scenarios, and easy to install and disassemble, to improve the space utilization and practicality of pickup trucks and RVs.

Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model.

[0016] In the description of this utility model, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0017] Example 1 Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, a multi-functional expansion platform includes... Platform body 10; At least two sets of brackets are connected to the side wall of a pickup truck or RV bed via quick-release structures. Each bracket includes a main rod 60 and a horizontal rod 604, with a space between the two horizontal rods 604 for placing a movable cover 620. One end of the main rod 60 is provided with a transverse rod 606, and a first baffle 600 and a second baffle 602 are fixed on the left and right sides of the main rod 60 by L-shaped connectors 608. One end of the horizontal rod 604 is provided with a positioning member 614 that connects to the side of the RV or pickup truck bed. The main rod 60, the transverse rod 606, and the horizontal rod 604 are combined to form a support frame for installing the movable cover 620. The first baffle 600, the second baffle 602, and the main rod 60 are symmetrically provided with a main reinforcing plate 616 and a secondary reinforcing plate 618. The positioning member 614 has a bend 6140, and the bend 6140 has an insertion hole for inserting into the transverse rod 606, thereby forming an angle locking structure.

[0018] In one embodiment, the movable cover 620 can be movable, fixed, detachable, or flip-up. This invention does not impose any restrictions; the appropriate setting method can be selected according to actual needs.

[0019] At least one box assembly 30 connected to the platform body 10 via a quick-release mechanism, the box assembly 30 including a storage box 300 having at least one opening direction; and a folding assembly 40 foldable and stored on the side of the platform body 10, which forms a four-bar linkage with the vertical bar 400 via a hinge rod 402.

[0020] The storage box 300 has a side baffle 302 on one side, which allows the storage box 300 to move laterally through the cooperation of the track 314 and the guide rail frame 316. The storage box 300 has a first door 304 and a second door 306 connected by a hinge 308. The first door 304 and the second door 306 form a double-opening structure and have sealing strips at the door edges. The storage box 300 has an internal shelf 310, and the second door 306 has a shelf 312 for placing electrical appliances. Furthermore, a hydraulic damper is added to the hinge 308 so that the two doors can open and close synchronously and slowly (opening angle 0-110°), thereby preventing items from falling out due to sudden opening. Furthermore, the existing track 314 is replaced with a double-row ball bearing guide rail, with multiple stainless steel balls on each side, reducing the coefficient of sliding friction, thereby reducing pushing resistance and extending service life.

[0021] The built-in shelf 310 can also be electrically adjustable, using a built-in linear motor to achieve stepless height adjustment, thus adapting to the storage of items of different heights. It can be configured according to actual needs.

[0022] In one embodiment (bumpy road conditions), the inner wall of the storage box 300 is lined with a foam layer, and the internal frame 310 is connected to the box body via two sets of damping hinges (not shown in the figure). When the vehicle is bumpy, the internal frame 310 swings gently under the action of the damping hinges, while the foam layer absorbs high-frequency vibrations, thereby effectively protecting the safety of precision instruments such as SLR cameras in off-road environments.

[0023] Furthermore, after the storage box 300 has been slid out a certain distance via the track 314 and guide rail 316, the storage box 300 is now away from the vehicle body. At this point, personnel can stand on the ground and perform cooking operations using the cooking utensils inside the storage box 300 (the cooking utensils are detachably installed on the inner surface of the first box door 304). Seasonings can be placed on the top of the storage box 300. These include, but are not limited to, seasonings; they can also be other cooking utensils or objects unrelated to cooking utensils, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0024] The folding assembly 40 includes a support frame 404 with a movable slot 406, within which a movable on / off switch 408 is installed. A shelf 410 is mounted on top of the support frame 404. Furthermore, the hinge rod 402 can be made of aluminum alloy or other materials (this is not limited here; it can be chosen according to actual needs), and a self-lubricating copper sleeve is added to the joint. Even further, the surface of the shelf 410 can integrate a detachable cutting board area and a magnetic tool positioning area, thereby expanding its application in cooking / repair scenarios.

[0025] In one embodiment, after the rigid frame constructed by the main rod 60, the transverse rod 606 and the horizontal rod 604 is assembled and connected to the side walls of the rear bed of the RV or pickup truck, a space for leisure and entertainment is reserved between the rigid frames.

[0026] It should be noted that the first baffle 600, the second baffle 602, the shelf 410 and the side baffle 302 all adopt a perforated board design similar to that in the prior art. This design can not only reduce the weight of the entire rigid frame and save costs, but also make reasonable use of space by using the holes on the board to hang tools or other items.

[0027] Furthermore, at least one intermediate connecting plate is provided between the rigid frames constructed by the main rod 60, the transverse rod 606, and the horizontal rod 604, so as to assemble the two rigid frames to form a complete extension platform.

[0028] The bottom of the platform body 10 is provided with an adapter 612 for connecting with the telescopic adjustable support leg 50. The support leg 50 adopts a threaded lifting structure and has an anti-slip pad at the end (not shown in the figure).

[0029] This embodiment also includes a modular assembly step, as follows: Step 1: Place the platform body 10 in the rear bed of the vehicle or the installation position, install the telescopic outrigger 50 through the adapter 612, rotate and adjust it to a horizontal state, and ensure that the anti-slip pad at the end of the outrigger 50 is completely in contact with the contact surface. Step 2: Align the intermediate connecting plate 20 with the connection interface on the side of the platform body 10, and use the quick-release mechanism to fix the intermediate connecting plate 20 to ensure a firm connection; Step 3: Align the guide rail 316 of the box assembly 30 with the installation position of the platform body 10, slide the storage box 300 to the required position via the rail 314, check the opening function of the first box door 304 and the second box door 306, and confirm that the built-in shelf 310 and the storage platform 312 are installed securely. Step 4: Turn on the opening and closing switch 408 of the folding component 40, unfold the support frame 404 along the movable slot 406, and adjust the shelf 410 to a horizontal position. Step 5: Vertically install the main rod 60 on the platform body 10, connect the transverse rod 606 and the horizontal rod 604 through the L-shaped connector 608, install the first baffle 600 and the second baffle 602, and fix the positioning piece 614 to the side of the vehicle. Step Six: Check that all connections are secure, test the flexibility of each moving part, and confirm that all functional components are working properly; Step 7: Align the movable cover plate 620 with the support frame, fix the cover plate, and complete the final assembly.

[0030] It is important to note that disassembly should be performed in reverse order, prioritizing the removal of load-bearing components such as the main rod 60 and the folding assembly 40.

[0031] Working principle: The platform body 10 achieves modular expansion through the detachable intermediate connecting plate 20. The box assembly 30 achieves lateral displacement adjustment through the sliding cooperation of the rail 314 and the guide rail frame 316. Its built-in frame 310 and double-opening box doors 304 / 306 provide multi-angle access functions. The folding assembly 40 realizes the unfolding and storage of the storage board 410 through a four-bar linkage mechanism. The movable slot 406 of the support frame 404 and the opening and closing switch 408 work together to control the unfolding angle. The main rod 60, the transverse rod 606, and the horizontal rod 604 form a rigid frame through the L-shaped connector 608. The corner part 6140 of the positioning part 614 is inserted and locked to ensure a stable connection with the vehicle body. The retractable support legs 50 at the bottom of the platform achieve height self-adjustment through the threaded adapter 612, ultimately forming a vehicle-mounted expansion system that can be quickly assembled, expanded in multiple directions, and stably bears load.

[0032] Example 2 Reference Figures 5-7 The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the cooking utensil 80 is detachably mounted on the folding assembly 40. The cooking utensil 80 includes a folding stove rack and a gas canister fixing rack; it also includes at least one storage device 90 for storing tools; it also includes a directional frame 110 mounted on the platform body 10. The directional frame 110 has positioning slots 1100 around its perimeter that engage with the middle connecting plate 20 and the first baffle 600. It also includes a mounting clamp 1102 mounted at one end of the directional frame 110, a bent plate 1104 mounted at the tail of the mounting clamp 1102, a fixing frame 1106 connected to the mounting clamp 1102, and a connecting tail 1108 mounted on the fixing frame 1106.

[0033] Furthermore, the top of the cooking utensil 80 is also equipped with a multi-functional board. After the multi-functional board is folded up by a hinge or other connecting component (there are no restrictions on these connecting components in this case, as long as they can be folded up and the multi-functional board can be laid flat), the other end of the multi-functional board overlaps with the movable cover 620, thereby enabling people to cook, make tea and entertain themselves inside the vehicle.

[0034] Working principle: Based on embodiment one, by adding a detachable cooking utensil 80 to the folding component 40, the folding stove rack and gas canister fixing rack work together to realize outdoor cooking function; the storage device 90 provides space for classified storage of tools; the directional frame 110 is quickly snapped and fixed to the middle connecting plate 20 and the first baffle 600 through the positioning slots 1100 around the perimeter, and the mounting clamp 1102 and the fixing frame 1106 form a rigid connection structure, and the connecting tail 1108 realizes docking with the mounting clamp 1102, thereby further expanding the multi-functional integrated system of cooking, tool storage and directional positioning on the basis of maintaining all the functions of embodiment one.
