Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a storage backpack with a slow-descent function at the rear of a car. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, car rear-end systems commonly feature storage backpacks designed to increase storage space. These backpacks typically consist of a backpack body and a door panel hinged to it. The backpack body contains a storage cavity for placing items, and the door panel rotates relative to the backpack body via a hinge mechanism to open or close the storage cavity. However, the door panels of these backpacks often rely on their own weight to fold down during opening, lacking a dedicated slow-descent device. Even with simple straps or limiting components, the deceleration and support effects are limited, making it difficult to effectively control the descent speed of the door panel. This can easily lead to the door panel falling rapidly. When items are loaded in the storage cavity, the violent folding of the door panel can cause items to slip or tip over, affecting safety and convenience. Furthermore, the unstable force support of the door panel in the open position makes it difficult to form a stable and reliable operating platform, limiting the further expansion of the storage backpack's functionality. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a storage backpack with a simple structure and a slow-descent function.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: A storage backpack with a slow-descent function at the rear of a car includes a backpack body, a door panel, and a slow-descent device. The backpack body has a storage cavity, and the door panel is hinged to the backpack body. The door panel rotates relative to the backpack body about the hinge point as the rotation center to open or close the storage cavity. The slow-descent device includes a gas strut, an upper ball joint support, and a lower ball joint support. The upper ball joint support is disposed in the storage cavity, and the lower ball joint support is disposed on the door panel. The upper end of the gas strut is connected to the upper ball joint support, and the lower end of the gas strut is connected to the lower ball joint support. The slow-descent device is used to slow down the descent speed of the door panel.

[0005] By installing a slow-descent device consisting of a gas strut, an upper ball joint support, and a lower ball joint support between the storage cavity and the door panel inside the backpack body, the upper ball joint support is fixed inside the storage cavity, and the lower ball joint support is fixed to the door panel. The two ends of the gas strut are universally connected to the two ball joint supports respectively. When the door panel opens or closes the storage cavity with the hinge as the rotation center, the gas strut can provide damping and support throughout the entire rotation stroke. In conjunction with the ball joint structure, it compensates for angle changes, thereby effectively slowing down the descent speed of the door panel, preventing the door panel from falling rapidly under its own weight and causing impact to the vehicle body or user, and reducing the risk of items in the storage cavity slipping or tipping over due to the violent descent of the door panel. This solves the technical problems of existing car rear storage backpacks that lack a slow-descent mechanism, have a stiff opening action, and have poor safety and user comfort.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can also be achieved by the following technical measures: Furthermore, the backpack body is provided with a license plate mounting area below the storage cavity, and a license plate light is provided above the license plate mounting area on the backpack body, with the light from the license plate light directed towards the license plate mounting area.

[0007] By setting a license plate mounting area below the storage compartment on the backpack body and arranging a license plate light above it that shines towards the license plate mounting area, the license plate can still be installed in a reasonable position and effectively illuminated after the storage backpack is installed at the rear of the car. This meets the license plate installation and nighttime lighting regulations without requiring significant modifications to the original vehicle structure. This solves the technical problems in existing technologies where adding a rear storage backpack results in limited license plate mounting position, insufficient license plate light illumination angle and intensity, or even license plate obstruction, thus ensuring the vehicle's legality, compliance, and safety.

[0008] Furthermore, the backpack body is provided with a tailgate switch connected to the vehicle computer above the license plate mounting area, and a rear surround view camera connected to the vehicle computer is provided with the backpack body at the bottom of the license plate mounting area.

[0009] By installing a tailgate switch connected to the vehicle's onboard computer above the license plate mounting area and a rear-view camera also connected to the onboard computer at the bottom of the license plate mounting area, the tailgate switch and rear-view camera are integrated into the backpack body and the license plate mounting area. This allows for direct linkage with the vehicle's electronic control system, avoiding situations where the original tailgate switch and rear-view camera positions are obstructed or require complex modifications due to the addition of a tailgate storage backpack. This solves the technical problems of poor compatibility and functional impairment between existing tailgate attachments and the vehicle's original electronic control and imaging systems, improving ease of use and driving safety.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a partition net that is hooked inside the storage cavity, dividing the storage cavity into multiple storage spaces.

[0011] By installing hookable dividers inside the storage compartment, the compartment is divided into multiple relatively independent storage spaces. Users can categorize and place items according to size and type, preventing items from rolling, stacking, and colliding inside the compartment while the vehicle is in motion or the door is open. This also facilitates the storage and retrieval of small items, thus solving the technical problems of existing car rear storage backpacks where the internal space is a single large cavity, items easily slide inside, are piled up haphazardly, are inconvenient to retrieve, and are easily damaged or dropped. This significantly improves the utilization rate of the storage space and enhances safety and tidiness.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention relates to a slow-descent device consisting of a gas strut, an upper ball joint support, and a lower ball joint support, installed between the storage cavity and the door panel inside the backpack body. The upper ball joint support is fixed inside the storage cavity, and the lower ball joint support is fixed to the door panel. Both ends of the gas strut are universally connected to the two ball joint supports. When the door panel opens or closes the storage cavity with the hinge as the rotation center, the gas strut can provide damping and support throughout the entire rotation stroke. In conjunction with the ball joint structure, it compensates for angle changes, thereby effectively slowing down the descent speed of the door panel, preventing the door panel from falling rapidly under its own weight and causing impact to the vehicle body or user, and reducing the risk of items in the storage cavity slipping or tipping over due to the violent descent of the door panel.

[0034] Furthermore, the backpack body 1 is provided with a first sealing strip 7 and a second sealing strip 8 around the storage cavity 11. The first sealing strip 7 and the second sealing strip 8 are arranged vertically, one above the other. An upper abutment 22 is formed at the top of the back of the door panel 2, and a lower abutment 23 is provided near the top of the back of the door panel 2. When the door panel 2 closes the storage cavity 11, the upper abutment 22 abuts against the first sealing strip 7, and the lower abutment 23 abuts against the second sealing strip 8.

[0035] Furthermore, both the first sealing strip 7 and the second sealing strip 8 are annular strips.

[0036] Furthermore, the backpack body 1 is provided with a first connecting rib 13 and a second connecting rib 14 around the storage cavity 11, and the first connecting rib 13 and the second connecting rib 14 are arranged one above the other in the vertical direction. The first connecting rib 13 is a T-shaped connecting rib, and the first sealing strip 7 is a hollow first sealing strip 7. The bottom of the first sealing strip 7 has a first slot 71 with a width smaller than the width of the transverse rib of the T-shaped connecting rib.

[0039] Furthermore, it also includes a decorative cover 9, which has a license plate mounting area 15. The license plate mounting area 15 has bolt holes 151 spaced apart. The decorative cover 9 has a light-transmitting opening 91 at the top of the license plate mounting area 15 corresponding to the license plate light 16, and an operating opening 92 at the position corresponding to the tailgate switch 17. The decorative cover 9 has an opening 93 at the bottom of the license plate mounting area 15 corresponding to the rear surround view camera 18. The decorative cover 9 is detachably mounted on the backpack body 1 and located below the storage cavity 11. The license plate light 16 corresponds to the light-transmitting opening 91, the tailgate switch 17 corresponds to the operating opening 92, and the rear surround view camera 18 extends out of the opening 93. The pull rope 4 is located inside the backpack body 1 and below the storage cavity 11. The decorative cover 9 covers the pull rope 4, and the end of the pull rope 4 is provided with a pull ring 41.

[0040] It also includes a partition net 10, which is hooked inside the storage cavity 11 and divides the storage cavity 11 into multiple storage spaces.

[0041] By incorporating a storage backpack with a slow-closing function at the rear of the vehicle, and employing a structure that combines door panel 2 with a slow-closing device, the door panel 2 can be smoothly opened and precisely limited within the 0° to 90° range via the limiting hinge 6. This allows the door panel 2 to reliably and vertically close the storage cavity 11 while maintaining a stable horizontal small table position. The combination of a mechanical and electronic unlocking module in the lock structure, the side wall switch 12 and pull rope 4 emergency mechanical unlocking mechanism, and the dual signal interface design of the electronic unlocking module ensure compatibility between electronic unlocking and emergency mechanical unlocking, facilitating integration with the vehicle's computer control. Multiple annular sealing strips ensure reliable compression of the upper and lower sealing strips when the door panel 2 is closed, significantly improving the waterproof, dustproof, and noise reduction performance of the storage cavity 11. Simultaneously, a license plate mounting area 15, license plate light 16, tailgate switch 17, and rear surround view camera 18 are integrated below the storage cavity 11, with the pull rope 4 concealed by a removable decorative cover 9, further enhanced by an internally detachable partition. Network 10 rationally partitions the storage space, thereby comprehensively solving the following technical problems existing in the current technology of car rear storage backpacks: the door panel 2 lacks an effective slow-down mechanism during opening, the folding speed is uncontrollable and it cannot stably maintain the horizontal table posture; the locks mostly rely on electronic unlocking, which cannot be reliably opened when the vehicle is powered off or the electronic control system is abnormal, and the emergency mechanical unlocking capability is insufficient, resulting in poor locking security; the sealing structure is simple and the rubber strip installation method is simple, which is prone to water seepage, dust ingress and wind noise under conditions such as rain, snow and high-speed driving; after the storage backpack is installed, it is difficult to integrate and modularly arrange components such as license plate, license plate light 16, car tailgate switch 17 and rear surround view camera 18 with the original vehicle, the wiring harness of the storage backpack is easy to be exposed, affecting the overall appearance of the rear; and the storage cavity 11 is mostly a single large cavity, which makes it easy for items to roll, collide and pile up messily in the cavity, making it inconvenient to classify and store and resulting in low space utilization.

[0042] In other embodiments, the gas strut 5 is a variable damping gas strut with a buffer section. The gas strut 5 includes a cylinder 53, a piston 54, and a rod 55. The piston 54 is slidably placed inside the cylinder 53. The cylinder 53 is connected to the upper ball joint support 51. One end of the rod 55 is connected to the piston 54, and the other end of the rod 55 extends out of the cylinder 53 and is connected to the lower ball joint support 52. The inner cavity of the cylinder 53 is divided into a front throttling exhaust section 56, a middle throttling exhaust section 57 and a rear throttling exhaust section 58 in sequence along the movement direction of the piston 54, and the front throttling exhaust section 56, the middle throttling exhaust section 57 and the rear throttling exhaust section 58 are interconnected. The inner wall of the front throttling exhaust section 56 is provided with a first throttling air inlet / outlet hole 20 for connecting the inner cavity of the cylinder 53 with the outside air. The inner wall of the middle throttling exhaust section 57 is provided with a second throttling air inlet / outlet hole 30 for connecting the inner cavity of the cylinder 53 with the outside air. The inner wall of the rear throttling exhaust section 58 is provided with a third throttling air inlet / outlet hole 40 for connecting the inner cavity of the cylinder 53 with the outside air. The diameters of the first throttling air inlet / outlet hole 20, the second throttling air inlet / outlet hole 30, and the third throttling air inlet / outlet hole 40 gradually decrease from the inner cavity of the cylinder 53 toward the outside.

[0043] The first throttling inlet and outlet port 20 includes a first cylindrical hole 201 radially opened along the cylinder body 53 and a first conical throttling hole 202 communicating with the outer end of the first cylindrical hole 201. The inner end diameter of the first conical throttling hole 202 is larger than its outer end diameter. The inner wall of the first cylindrical hole 201 is provided with a plurality of first ribs 203 extending along the hole axis in the circumferential direction. The radial height of each first rib 203 gradually decreases from one end near the inner cavity of the cylinder body 53 to one end near the first conical throttling hole 202. The second throttling inlet / outlet port 30 includes a second cylindrical hole 301 radially opened along the cylinder body 53 and a second conical throttling hole 302 communicating with the outer end of the second cylindrical hole 301. The axial length of the second conical throttling hole 302 is greater than the axial length of the first conical throttling hole 202, and the minimum diameter of the outer end of the second conical throttling hole 302 is smaller than the minimum diameter of the outer end of the first conical throttling hole 202. At least one annular recess 303 is formed at intervals along the circumferential direction on the inner wall of the second cylindrical hole 301. The recess depth of the annular recess 303 is less than 1 / 3 of the radius of the second cylindrical hole 301. The third throttling inlet / outlet port 40 includes a third cylindrical hole 401 radially opened along the cylinder body 53 and a third conical throttling hole 402 communicating with the outer end of the third cylindrical hole 401. The axial length of the third conical throttling hole 402 is greater than the axial length of the second conical throttling hole 302, and the minimum diameter of the outer end of the third conical throttling hole 402 is smaller than the minimum diameter of the outer end of the second conical throttling hole 302. A guide block 403 is provided in the inner cavity of the third cylindrical hole 401. The guide block 403 protrudes from the hole wall of the third cylindrical hole 401 toward the center. Its front end face facing the inner cavity of the cylinder body 53 is an arc transition surface and occupies 10% to 40% of the effective flow area of ​​the cross-section of the third cylindrical hole 401.

[0044] The principle and benefits of slow descent: A variable damping gas strut 5 with a buffer section is installed in the storage cavity 11. One end is connected to the upper ball joint support 51 in the storage cavity 11, and the other end is connected to the lower ball joint support 52 on the door panel 2. The inner cavity of the cylinder 53 of the gas strut 5 is divided into a front throttling exhaust section 56, a middle throttling exhaust section 57, and a rear throttling exhaust section 58 along the direction of piston 54 movement. A first throttling inlet / exhaust hole 20, a second throttling inlet / exhaust hole 30, and a third throttling inlet / exhaust hole 40 are respectively provided on the inner wall of each section. The diameter of each throttling inlet / exhaust hole gradually decreases from the inner cavity of the cylinder 53 towards the outside, so that when the piston 54 is in different stroke positions, the inner cavity of the cylinder 53 is connected to the outside through three, two, or one throttling hole, thereby allowing for... During the movement of door panel 2 from vertically closed to horizontally open or from horizontally closed to vertically closed, the front section forms a small damping (multiple throttle holes for intake and exhaust), the middle section forms a medium damping (partial throttle holes for intake and exhaust), and the final section forms a large damping (only a single throttle hole for intake and exhaust). This achieves segmented and controllable slow descent of door panel 2 throughout its entire stroke. In particular, it significantly reduces the movement speed of door panel 2 when it approaches the end position, avoiding the risk of door panel 2 impacting the backpack body 1 or causing "hand injury". It also reduces the risk of items in storage cavity 11 slipping or falling due to the violent descent of door panel 2. This significantly improves the safety, smoothness, and comfort of the rear storage device during opening and closing, and meets the requirements of the vehicle's rear auxiliary components for safe opening and closing performance.
