Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts, and in particular to a rotating clamp base for a luggage rack. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing popularity of SUVs, more and more users are choosing to install roof racks. This enhances the vehicle's appearance and expands its carrying capacity, especially suitable for scenarios like road trips where more items need to be carried. When interior space is limited or certain items are unsuitable for storage inside the vehicle, roof racks provide an effective supplementary support solution. However, simply installing a roof rack is insufficient to directly support items; a crossbeam or other specialized support is usually required. Currently, most crossbeams on the market are aftermarket generic parts, with few specifically developed for roof rack structures on particular vehicle models, resulting in some overall compatibility issues. This mismatch can lead to an uncoordinated appearance, additional wind noise during driving, and even safety hazards. Furthermore, the ease of installation and removal of existing crossbeams needs improvement.
[0003] Currently, common crossbeam structures are usually fixed to the luggage rack via mounting brackets at both ends, often employing a quick-clamp locking mechanism. While this type of structure offers a certain level of assembly and disassembly efficiency, its construction is relatively complex and requires a certain level of hand strength from the user. In practice, it often requires multiple people to complete the installation, thus affecting ease of use. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model proposes a simple rotating clamp base for luggage racks that solves the problem of complicated installation and operation of luggage racks and crossbeams.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A rotating clamp base for a luggage rack includes a mounting base body, a clamp, a first connector, and a second connector. The clamp has a first through hole and a second through hole, which are connected. The second connector is disposed in the second through hole. The first connector enters from the first through hole and is detachably connected to the second connector located in the second through hole. The clamp can rotate relative to the second connector placed in the clamp by an angle not exceeding 10°.
[0006] In one embodiment, the first connector is a connecting screw, and the second connector is a rotating nut, wherein the connecting screw and the rotating nut are detachably connected.
[0007] In one embodiment, the mounting body includes a first mounting body and a second mounting body, the first mounting body being used to connect with a crossbeam, the second mounting body being used to connect with a luggage rack, and the clamp being installed between the first mounting body and the second mounting body.
[0008] In one embodiment, a snap-fit block is provided between the first mounting base body and the second mounting base body, and snap-fit grooves adapted to the snap-fit block are provided on the first mounting base body and the second mounting base body. The connecting screw passes through the snap-fit block and is detachably connected to the rotating nut.
[0009] In one embodiment, the first mounting base body is provided with a first mounting hole, the clamp is provided with a second mounting hole, the first mounting base body is connected to the crossbeam through the first mounting hole, and the clamp is connected to the luggage rack through the second mounting hole.
[0010] In one embodiment, the second mounting base body is provided with a snap-fit portion, and the second mounting base body is snapped into the luggage rack through the snap-fit portion.
[0011] In one embodiment, the central axis of the first through hole and the central axis of the second through hole are perpendicular.
[0012] This utility model has a simple structure. During installation, the operator only needs to clamp the mounting base and clamp onto the luggage rack and tighten the connecting screws to the designed torque with a wrench. The modular design allows for rotation of both the connecting screws and the rotating nut during installation, enabling the mounting base and clamps to open at a suitable angle and securely engage with the luggage rack when operated by one person.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment discloses a rotating clamp base for a luggage rack, including a mounting base body 1, a clamp 2, a connecting screw 3, and a rotating nut 4. The mounting base body 1 includes a first mounting base body 101 and a second mounting base body 102. The first mounting base body 101 is used to connect with a crossbeam 5, and the second mounting base body 102 is used to connect with a luggage rack 6. The clamp 2 is installed between the first mounting base body 101 and the second mounting base body 102. The clamp 2 has a first through hole 201 and a second through hole 202. The first through hole 201 and the second through hole 202 are connected. The central axis of the first through hole 201 and the central axis of the second through hole 202 are perpendicular. The rotating nut 4 is disposed in the second through hole 202. The connecting screw 3 enters from the first through hole 201 and is detachably connected to the rotating nut 4 located in the second through hole 202.
[0022] In this embodiment, the rotating nut 4 can rotate at an angle of approximately 10°. After the connecting screw 3 is connected to the rotating nut, the clamp 2 can rotate approximately 10° relative to the rotating nut, and approximately 8° relative to the connection point between the connecting screw 3 and the rotating nut 4, creating a gap between the clamp 2 and the second mounting base body 102. This not only provides a certain degree of flexibility in installation but also absorbs errors generated during the manufacturing and assembly process. These rotation angles fully accommodate errors generated at each step, ensuring that the installation achieves the ideal design state without deformation or stress. The connecting screw 3 and the rotating nut 4 are always in the optimal connection state, thus eliminating the potential for torque loss on the threads.
[0023] In this embodiment, a snap-fit block 7 is provided between the first mounting base body 101 and the second mounting base body 102. The first mounting base body 101 and the second mounting base body 102 are provided with snap-fit grooves that are adapted to the snap-fit block 7. The connecting screw 3 passes through the snap-fit block 7 and is detachably connected to the rotating nut 4.
[0024] In this embodiment, the first mounting base body 101 is provided with a first mounting hole 8, and the clamp 2 is provided with a second mounting hole 9. The first mounting base body 101 is connected to the crossbeam 5 through the first mounting hole 8 and mounting screws, and the clamp 2 is connected to the luggage rack 6 through the second mounting hole 9 and mounting screws.
[0025] In this embodiment, the second mounting base body 102 is provided with a snap-fit part 103, and the second mounting base body 102 is snapped into the luggage rack 6 through the snap-fit part 103.
[0026] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
