Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular to a flip-up equipment rack for storing equipment on the roof of a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] To improve the load-bearing capacity of a car, equipment racks are often installed to accommodate different usage needs.

[0003] For example, the fire ladder retrieval device for fire trucks proposed in patent application number CN200520134098.6 includes a hydraulic cylinder fixed to the roof of the fire truck and connected to the hydraulic system of the fire truck via a pipeline. The cylinder connecting rod is connected to one end of both the cylinder and the ladder frame connecting rod, while the other end of the ladder frame connecting rod is connected to the ladder frame. This utility model, through a reasonable improvement to the ladder frame tilting mechanism, changes the ladder frame's function from a rear-tilting type to a side-tilting type, thus not only meeting the requirement of accommodating other equipment at the rear of the fire truck but also ensuring that retrieval does not interfere with other equipment.

[0004] However, when the aforementioned ladder frame is rotated to the side of the car, in order to ensure that the ladder frame is at a suitable height, the hinge point of the ladder frame needs to be set at a lower position at the rear of the car, which affects the setting of the rear door and other structures of the car. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a roof-mounted equipment storage flip rack to solve the problem that the equipment rack flipping mechanism installed on the roof of the vehicle is difficult to flip the equipment rack to a lower position without affecting the rest of the vehicle's structural design.

[0006] This utility model provides a rooftop equipment storage rack with a flip mechanism, comprising a connecting plate, a fixed frame, a sliding frame, a driving component, and a resetting component. The connecting plate is mounted on the roof of the vehicle. The fixed frame is rotatably connected to the connecting plate, and can rotate to a horizontal position above the connecting plate, and can also rotate to a vertical position to one side of the connecting plate. The sliding frame is slidably connected to the fixed frame. The driving component is mounted on the fixed frame and connected to the connecting plate and the sliding frame to drive the fixed frame to rotate from a horizontal position to a vertical position, and to drive the sliding frame to slide relative to the fixed frame along the flipping direction. The resetting component is mounted on the connecting plate and connected to the fixed frame to reset the fixed frame from a vertical position to a horizontal position.

[0007] Furthermore, the driving component includes a hydraulic cylinder, a fixed wheel assembly, a first guide wheel assembly, a second guide wheel assembly, a sliding wheel assembly, and a pull rope. The hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed within the fixed frame. The output end of the fixed wheel assembly is connected to the sliding wheel assembly, and the sliding wheel assembly is connected to the sliding frame. The first guide wheel assembly is fixedly installed on the connecting plate, and the second guide wheel assembly is rotatably connected to the connecting plate. The sliding wheel assembly is mounted on the fixed frame. One end of the pull rope is fixedly connected to the fixed wheel assembly, and the other end of the pull rope is sequentially wound around the first guide wheel assembly and the second guide wheel assembly and fixedly connected to the sliding wheel assembly. The sliding wheel assembly has a first state in which it slides away from the connecting plate. In this state, the length between the first guide wheel assembly and the second guide wheel assembly becomes shorter, the fixed frame rotates from a horizontal state to a vertical state, and the sliding frame slides relative to the fixed frame in a direction away from the connecting plate. The sliding wheel assembly has a second state in which it slides along the direction close to the connecting plate. In this state, the length between the first guide wheel assembly and the second guide wheel assembly increases, the fixed frame rotates from a vertical state to a horizontal state under the influence of the reset member, and the sliding frame slides relative to the fixed frame along the direction close to the connecting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, there are two pull ropes, which are arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the oil cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixed wheel assembly, the first guide wheel assembly, the second guide wheel assembly, and the sliding wheel assembly each include a connecting bracket and two rollers disposed opposite to each other on the connecting bracket, so that the two pull ropes are respectively wound around the two rollers.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a support wheel assembly, which and the fixed wheel assembly are arranged sequentially on the connecting plate along the rotation direction of the fixed frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixed frame has grooves on both sides, and the sliding frame extends into the grooves on both sides and slides in connection with the grooves on the corresponding sides.

[0012] Furthermore, the sliding frame has a fixing station for securing the equipment on the side away from the connecting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a rotating plate, a first connecting rod, and a second connecting rod. The bottom of the rotating plate is rotatably connected to the connecting plate, and the top of the rotating plate is hinged to the middle part of the fixed frame. One end of the first connecting rod is hinged to the rotating plate, and the other end of the first connecting rod is slidably hinged to the second connecting rod. The bottom end of the second connecting rod is hinged to the connecting plate, and the top end of the second connecting rod is hinged to one side of the fixed frame.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a first hinge plate and a second hinge plate. The first hinge plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the middle part of the fixed frame. The first hinge plate is hinged to the straight rod portion extending upward from the rotating plate. The second hinge plate is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame in the vertical state. The second hinge plate is hinged to the top end of the second connecting straight rod.

[0015] Furthermore, the reset component includes a first reset rod, a second reset rod, and a reset gas spring. One end of the first reset rod and one end of the second reset rod are respectively hinged to the connecting plate and the second connecting rod. The other ends of the first reset rod and the second reset rod are hinged to each other, and the hinge point is hinged to one end of the reset gas spring. The other end of the reset gas spring is hinged to the rotating plate.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this connecting plate bracket can be installed on the roof of a car. Under the action of the reset component, the fixed frame remains in a horizontal state. When the equipment needs to be used, the drive component rotates the fixed frame from a horizontal state to a vertical state, and at the same time drives the sliding frame to slide relative to the fixed frame in the flipping direction. Finally, the fixed frame is in a vertical state, and the sliding frame slides downward relative to the fixed frame to ensure that the equipment placed on it can be lowered to a lower position for easy access. During the retrieval process, the drive component drives the sliding frame to slide in the upward flipping direction until it is retracted into the fixed frame. At the same time, under the action of the reset component, the fixed frame returns from a vertical state to a horizontal state. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a rotating equipment rack for storing equipment on a vehicle roof, comprising a connecting plate 100, a fixed frame 200, a sliding frame 300, a driving component 400, and a resetting component 500. The connecting plate 100 is used to install on the vehicle roof. The fixed frame 200 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 100, and the fixed frame 200 can rotate to a horizontal state and be located above the connecting plate 100, and the fixed frame 200 can also rotate to a vertical state and be located on one side of the connecting plate 100. The sliding frame 300 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 200. The driving component 400 is installed on the fixed frame 200 and connected to the connecting plate 100 and the sliding frame 300, so as to drive the fixed frame 200 to rotate from a horizontal state to a vertical state, and drive the sliding frame 300 to slide relative to the fixed frame 200 in the flipping direction. The resetting component 500 is installed on the connecting plate 100 and connected to the fixed frame 200, so as to reset the fixed frame 200 from a vertical state to a horizontal state.

[0020] like Figure 4-6 As shown, during implementation, the connecting plate 100 bracket can be installed on the roof of a car. Under the action of the reset component 500, the fixed frame 200 remains in a horizontal state. When equipment needs to be used, the driving component 400 rotates the fixed frame 200 from a horizontal state to a vertical state, and at the same time drives the sliding frame 300 to slide relative to the fixed frame 200 in the flipping direction. Finally, the fixed frame 200 is in a vertical state, and the sliding frame 300 slides downward relative to the fixed frame 200 to ensure that the equipment placed on it can be lowered to a lower position for easy access. During the retrieval process, the driving component 400 drives the sliding frame 300 to slide in the upward flipping direction until it is retracted into the fixed frame 200. At the same time, under the action of the reset component 500, the fixed frame 200 is reset from a vertical state to a horizontal state.

[0021] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 100 is installed on the roof of the vehicle, and the connection between the two can be achieved through bolts or other structures. It should be noted that the connecting plate 100 should be positioned close to the edge of the vehicle's roof to avoid interference between the fixing frame 200 and the vehicle during the tilting process.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to realize the flipping action of the fixed frame 200 relative to the connecting plate 100, in one embodiment, a rotating plate 110, a first connecting rod 120 and a second connecting rod 130 are also included. The bottom of the rotating plate 110 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 100, the top of the rotating plate 110 is hinged to the middle part of the fixed frame 200, one end of the first connecting rod 120 is hinged to the rotating plate 110, the other end of the first connecting rod 120 is slidably hinged to the second connecting rod 130, the bottom end of the second connecting rod 130 is hinged to the connecting plate 100, and the top end of the second connecting rod 130 is hinged to one side of the fixed frame 200.

[0023] Furthermore, it also includes a first hinge plate 210 and a second hinge plate 220. The first hinge plate 210 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the middle part of the fixed frame 200. The first hinge plate 210 is hinged to the straight rod part extending upward from the rotating plate 110. The second hinge plate 220 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame 200 in the vertical state. The second hinge plate 220 is hinged to the top end of the second connecting straight rod 130.

[0024] In this embodiment, the fixed frame 200 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 100. The fixed frame 200 can be rotated to a horizontal state and located above the connecting plate 100. The fixed frame 200 can also be rotated to a vertical state and located on one side of the connecting plate 100. The sliding frame 300 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 200.

[0025] The fixed frame 200 can be flipped relative to the connecting plate 100, which in turn causes the sliding frame 300 to flip. The sliding frame 300 and the fixed frame 200 are slidably connected. When the fixed frame 200 is in a horizontal state, the fixed frame 200 and the sliding frame 300 overlap, effectively reducing the space occupied by the two. When the fixed frame 200 is in a vertical state, the sliding frame 300 can slide downward relative to the fixed frame 200, so that the equipment set on the sliding frame 300 can be lowered to a lower height for easy access.

[0026] To facilitate stable support of the fixed frame 200 in a horizontal state, in one embodiment, a support wheel set is also included. The support wheel set and the fixed wheel set 420 are arranged sequentially on the connecting plate 100 along the rotation direction of the fixed frame 200.

[0027] In one embodiment, the fixed frame 200 has grooves on both sides, and the sliding frame 300 extends into the grooves on both sides and is slidably connected to the grooves on the corresponding sides.

[0028] The sliding frame 300 has a fixed equipment connection station on the side away from the connecting plate 100.

[0029] It is understandable that the downward flipping of the fixed frame 200 and the sliding of the sliding frame 300 relative to the fixed frame 200 are carried out simultaneously.

[0030] To achieve the above functions, this embodiment uses a drive component 400. Specifically, the drive component 400 is mounted on the fixed frame 200 and connected to the connecting plate 100 and the sliding frame 300, so as to drive the fixed frame 200 to rotate from a horizontal state to a vertical state and drive the sliding frame 300 to slide relative to the fixed frame 200 in the flipping direction.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the driving component 400 includes a hydraulic cylinder 410, a fixed wheel assembly 420, a first guide wheel assembly 430, a second guide wheel assembly 440, a sliding wheel assembly 450, and a pull rope 460. The hydraulic cylinder 410 is fixedly disposed within the fixed frame 200. The output end of the fixed wheel assembly 420 is connected to the sliding wheel assembly 450, and the sliding wheel assembly 450 is connected to the sliding frame 300. The first guide wheel assembly 430 is fixedly disposed on the connecting plate 100, and the second guide wheel assembly 440 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 100. The sliding wheel assembly 450 is mounted on the fixed frame 200. One end of the pull rope 460 is fixedly connected to the fixed wheel assembly 420, and the other end of the pull rope 460 is sequentially wound around the first guide wheel assembly 430 and the second guide wheel assembly 440 and fixedly connected to the sliding wheel assembly 450.

[0032] The sliding wheel assembly 450 has a first state in which it slides away from the connecting plate 100. In this state, the length between the first guide wheel assembly 430 and the second guide wheel assembly 440 becomes shorter (i.e., Figure 3 (The L1 portion of the pull rope 460 becomes shorter and the L2 portion becomes longer), the fixed frame 200 rotates from a horizontal state to a vertical state, and the sliding frame 300 slides relative to the fixed frame 200 in a direction away from the connecting plate 100.

[0033] The sliding wheel assembly 450 has a second state in which it slides along the direction close to the connecting plate 100. In this state, the length between the first guide wheel assembly 430 and the second guide wheel assembly 440 increases (i.e., Figure 3 (The L1 portion of the pull rope 460 becomes longer and the L2 portion becomes shorter). The fixed frame 200 rotates from a vertical state to a horizontal state under the influence of the reset member 500, and the sliding frame 300 slides relative to the fixed frame 200 in the direction close to the connecting plate 100.

[0034] To improve the stability of the movement of the fixed frame 200 and the sliding frame 300, this embodiment uses two pull ropes 460, which are arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the hydraulic cylinder 410. Of course, more pull ropes 460 can be used; however, more pull ropes 460 are not necessarily better, and the number should be determined according to specific needs.

[0035] In this embodiment, the fixed wheel assembly 420, the first guide wheel assembly 430, the second guide wheel assembly 440, and the sliding wheel assembly 450 all include a connecting bracket and two rollers disposed opposite to each other on the connecting bracket, so that the two pull ropes 460 are respectively wound around the two rollers.

[0036] In this embodiment, the reset component 500 is installed on the connecting plate 100 and connected to the fixed frame 200 so that the fixed frame 200 can be reset from the vertical state to the horizontal state.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the reset member 500 includes a first reset rod 510, a second reset rod 520, and a reset gas spring 530. One end of the first reset rod 510 and one end of the second reset rod 520 are respectively hinged to the connecting plate 100 and the second connecting rod 130. The other end of the first reset rod 510 and the other end of the second reset rod 520 are hinged to each other, and the hinge point of the two is hinged to one end of the reset gas spring 530. The other end of the reset gas spring 530 is hinged to the rotating plate 110.

[0038] It is understandable that the aforementioned return gas spring 530 can also be replaced by a telescopic rod.

[0039] Compared with the prior art: the connecting plate 100 bracket can be installed on the roof of a car. Under the action of the reset member 500, the fixed frame 200 is kept in a horizontal state. When the equipment needs to be used, the drive member 400 rotates the fixed frame 200 from a horizontal state to a vertical state, and at the same time drives the sliding frame 300 to slide relative to the fixed frame 200 in the flipping direction. Finally, the fixed frame 200 is in a vertical state, and the sliding frame 300 slides downward relative to the fixed frame 200 to ensure that the equipment placed on it can be lowered to a lower position for easy access. During the retrieval process, the drive member 400 drives the sliding frame 300 to slide in the upward flipping direction until it is gathered in the fixed frame 200. At the same time, under the action of the reset member 500, the fixed frame 200 is reset from a vertical state to a horizontal state.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
