Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a folding roof frame structure and belongs to the field of automotive parts technology. Background Technology

[0002] Most roof frames on the market today are fully enclosed, which can only hold items within the frame area and the number of items is limited. Items that are outside the frame area and need to be carried in the vehicle (such as surfboards, canoes, etc.) cannot be placed there. Based on the above problems, providing a folding roof frame to improve the roof storage space has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a folding roof frame structure that folds the roof frame into a semi-enclosed form, eliminating the limitation on the range of the roof frame, so as to achieve the purpose of carrying large items.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A folding roof frame structure includes a roof frame body, with baffles installed on opposite sides of the roof frame body. The baffles are mounted on the roof frame body via folding hinges. By changing the shape of the folding hinges, the baffles can be in a horizontal or vertical state. The folding hinges have a locking structure for locking the baffles in a vertical state.

[0005] In the aforementioned folding roof frame structure, the folding hinge includes a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate. The first mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the roof frame body, and the second mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the baffle. The folding hinge also includes a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate. One end of the first connecting plate is hinged to the first mounting plate, the other end of the first connecting plate is hinged to one end of the second connecting plate, and the other end of the second connecting plate is hinged to the second mounting plate.

[0006] In the aforementioned folding roof frame structure, the folding hinge further includes a first link group and a second link group, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate. The first link group includes a first link and a second link, one end of the first link is hinged to the first mounting plate, the other end of the first link is hinged to one end of the second link, and the other end of the second link is hinged to the second mounting plate.

[0007] In the aforementioned folding roof frame structure, the first mounting plate has two first support plates, and one end of the first connecting plate and the first connecting rod are hinged to the first support plate; the second mounting plate has two second support plates, and one end of the second connecting plate and the second connecting rod are hinged to the second support plate.

[0008] In the aforementioned folding roof frame structure, the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are hinged together by a rotating shaft; the folding hinge also includes a first hinge rod and a second hinge rod, one end of the first hinge rod is hinged to the first mounting plate, the other end of the first hinge rod is hinged to one end of the second hinge rod, and the other end of the second hinge rod is hinged to the rotating shaft.

[0009] In the aforementioned folding roof frame structure, the first connecting plate has two first flanges, one end of which is hinged to the first mounting plate, and the other end of which is hinged to the second connecting plate; when the baffle is in a horizontal state, the lower side of the first flange abuts against the upper side of the first link group and the second link group.

[0010] In the aforementioned folding roof frame structure, the first connecting plate has a support foot at one end near the first mounting plate. When the baffle is in a vertical state, the support foot abuts against the upper surface of the first mounting plate.

[0011] In the aforementioned folding roof frame structure, the locking structure includes a flip-limiting fixing plate with a threaded hole and a knob inside the threaded hole. When the baffle is in a vertical state, by rotating the knob, the knob approaches the folding hinge, and the knob and the folding hinge interfere with each other, locking the vertical state of the baffle.

[0012] Compared to existing technologies, this invention transforms the roof frame into a semi-enclosed form through a folding mechanism, eliminating the limitations of the roof frame's dimensions to accommodate large items. The roof frame can be switched between fully enclosed and semi-enclosed modes to adjust its carrying capacity. Switching from fully enclosed to semi-enclosed mode is simple and practical; just loosen or turn the knob and flip the panel. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Example 3: A folding roof frame structure includes a roof frame body 4, with baffles 1 installed on opposite sides of the roof frame body 4. The baffles 1 are mounted on the roof frame body 4 via folding hinges 2. By changing the shape of the folding hinges 2, the baffles 1 can be in a horizontal or vertical state.

[0025] The working principle of one embodiment of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 The diagram shows baffle 1 in its vertical position, which can accommodate smaller items. In this position, hinge 2 can be folded as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the support leg 11 abuts against the first mounting plate 10, limiting the angle of the first connecting plate 8 and ensuring that the baffle 1 is in a vertical state. The knob 20 interferes with the folding hinge 2, fixing the state of the folding hinge 2 and keeping the baffle 1 vertical. Specifically, the knob 2 is supported below the first connecting plate 8, preventing the first connecting plate 8 from tilting downwards, thus locking the shape of the folding hinge 2. When the knob 2 is rotated, the folding hinge 2 disengages from the interference of the knob 20, and under the weight of the baffle 1, the folding hinge 2 deforms as follows... Figure 3 As shown, in this configuration, the lower section of the first connecting rod 13 abuts against the first mounting plate 10, and the first flange 7 of the first connecting plate 8 abuts against the upper side of the first connecting rod 13. The first connecting rod 13 and the first connecting plate 8 provide support for the baffle 1, making the structural design more reasonable and reliable.
