[0021] Furthermore, the terms "comprise" and "have," and all variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, procedure, system, product, or display that includes a series of steps or units need not be limited to the clearly listed steps or units, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or that are inherent in the process, procedure, product, or display.

[0022] In the current technology, because roof lamps and other functional components such as radar, decorative blocks, or other lighting elements individually need to occupy a certain space, currently only roof lamps or other functional components are installed separately on the vehicle roof. If roof lamps and other functional components are installed on the roof at the same time, they will occupy a large space on the vehicle roof. If only the roof lamps or other functional components are mounted separately on the vehicle roof, the function of the roof is relatively simple. If the roof lamps and other functional components are mounted separately in different areas of the vehicle roof, the vehicle roof will take up more space and affect the appearance and performance of the vehicle.

[0023] After repeated thought and verification, the inventor found that when a roof rack is arranged on the vehicle roof, the roof rack includes a first frame body and a second frame body, the first frame body can be mounted on the vehicle roof, and functional components can be mounted through the first frame body. The roof lamp can be mounted on the second frame body, and the second frame body is detachably connected to the first frame body, and at the same time, the functional components mounted on the first frame body can be exposed from the first frame body and the second frame body, respectively.In this way, the roof lamp and the functional component can be mounted in the same area of ​​the vehicle roof, which reduces the space occupied by the roof lamp and the functional component in the vehicle roof and enriches the functionality of the vehicle roof while ensuring the performance of the vehicle.

[0024] Against this background, the inventor has developed a roof rack for vehicles and a vehicle, in which the roof rack mounts the functional components through a receiving cavity of a first frame body and mounts two roof lamps each through two mounting seats of a second frame body that is stretched over the first frame body and detachably connected to the first frame body. The first frame body is provided with an opening connected to the receiving cavity, and the second frame body is provided with a first opening position between the two mounting seats, which is directly opposite the opening, so that the functional components can be exposed through the opening and the first opening position. In this way, the roof lamp and the functional component can be mounted in the same area of ​​the vehicle roof.

[0025] The technical solutions of the roof rack for vehicles and the vehicle provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the attached drawings.

[0026] As in the Fig. 1 to 6, the roof rack according to the embodiment of the present application comprises a first frame body 100 and a second frame body 200. The first frame body 100 includes a receiving cavity and an opening 110 connected to the receiving cavity, wherein the receiving cavity is configured for mounting the functional component 20. The second frame body 200 includes two mounting seats 210 and a first opening position 220 arranged between the two mounting seats 210, wherein the mounting seats 210 are configured for mounting the roof lamp 10, the first opening position 220 is arranged directly opposite the opening 110, and the structure of the second frame body 200, which are arranged on opposite sides of the first opening position 220, are each detachably connected to the structure of the first frame body 100, which is arranged on opposite sides of the opening 110.

[0027] The first frame body 100 can be fixedly mounted on the vehicle roof, for example, with the aid of fasteners. A central part of the first frame body 100 protrudes in a direction away from the vehicle roof to form a protruding portion, wherein an inner wall of the protruding portion defines a receiving cavity. At least a part of the functional component 20 can be embedded inside the receiving cavity. In particular, at least a part of the functional component 20 can extend from the opening 110 of the first frame body 100 into the interior of the receiving cavity. The shape of the opening 110 of the first frame body 100 can have any suitable shape, such as rectangular, square, or circular, without being clearly limited herein. The functional component 20 can be, among other things, a radar device, a decorative block, or other lighting, without being clearly limited herein.

[0028] Schematically, the mounting seats 210 of the second frame body 200 may have a strip structure, and the two mounting seats 210 may be arranged flush so that two strip-shaped roof lamps 10 can be mounted through the two mounting seats 210 of the second frame body 200. The second frame body 200 is stretched over the first frame body 100, and the second frame body 200 faces the opening 110 of the first frame body 100. Optionally, after mounting the second frame body 200 on the first frame body 100, the first opening 220 of the second frame body 200 may expose the opening 110 of the first frame body 100 and thus the functional component 20 to ensure the functionality of the functional component 20. The second frame body 200 may be secured, among other things, by a snap-in portion or by a fastening element, etc.be detachably connected to the first frame body 100, whereby this embodiment is not limited to one side.

[0029] The present embodiment provides a roof rack for vehicles comprising a first frame body 100 and a second frame body 200, wherein the first frame body 100 can be mounted on the vehicle roof and a receiving cavity of the first frame body 100 can be mounted with a functional component 20.

As in Fig. 4, the connecting portions 211 may be disposed near the top of the second frame body 200, with the two connecting portions 211 disposed on the right and left sides of the first opening position 220. After the two first fastening members 300 are passed through the two connecting portions 211 and locked onto the first frame body 100, the positions of the second frame body 200 disposed on either side of the first opening position 220 are secured to the positions of the first frame body 100 disposed on either side of the opening 110.

[0032] In one possible embodiment, the first frame body 100 is provided with a screw hole coaxial with the first through hole at a position corresponding to the first through hole, and the first fastening element 300 can extend into the interior of the screw hole after passing through the first through hole and be screwed to the screw hole.

[0033] With this structure, the second frame body 200 can be locked on the first frame body 100 by the two first fastening members 300, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the first frame body 100 and the second frame body 200.

[0034] In a special embodiment, as in the Fig. 1 to 6, the roof rack further includes two second fastening members 400, and the first frame body 100 is provided with mounting portions, the mounting portions being at least two and located on opposite sides of the opening 110. The mounting portions are provided with second through holes, two first through holes are respectively arranged coaxially with the second through holes corresponding to the two mounting portions, and each first fastening member 300 respectively passes through one of the first through holes, one of the second through holes, and locks with one of the second fastening members 400. The mounting portions may be formed as a plate-like structure, and an axial direction of the second through hole extends along a thickness direction of the plate-like structure.If the number of mounting portions is two, the two mounting portions may be arranged on opposite sides of the opening 110; if the number of mounting portions is more than two, the plurality of mounting portions are arranged in pairs on opposite sides of the opening 110, and the two connecting portions 211 of the second frame body 200 can be connected to the corresponding two mounting portions as needed. In the present embodiment, the specific number of fastening portions is not limited, and one skilled in the art can adjust it according to actual needs.

[0035] In one possible embodiment, the second fastening elements 400 may be arranged on the side of the mounting portions facing away from the connecting portions 211, and the respective first fastening elements 300 are locked to the corresponding second fastening elements 400 after being passed through the corresponding first through-holes and the corresponding second through-holes. With the above configuration, the first fastening elements 300 do not need to be directly screwed to the through-holes on the first frame body 100, and the first frame body 100 is not susceptible to damage during repeated assembly and disassembly between the second frame body 200 and the first frame body 100, which contributes to improving the service life of the roof rack.

[0036] In a more specific embodiment, as in the Fig. As shown in Figures 1 to 7, the second fastening element 400 is a spring nut. The spring nut is snapped onto the mounting portion and has an internally threaded hole 410 arranged coaxially with the second through hole. The first fastening element 300 passes through the first through hole or the second through hole and is threadably connected to the internally threaded hole 410.

[0037] As in Fig. 7, the spring nut is approximately U-shaped, with the two sides of the U-shaped structure being located on the side of the mounting portion facing the connecting portion 211 and on the side of the mounting portion facing away from the connecting portion 211, respectively. In one possible embodiment, the spring nut is formed with a limiting cylinder on the part of the mounting portion on the side of the mounting portion behind the connecting portion 211, the limiting cylinder being arranged on the side of the spring nut behind the mounting portion, and the inner wall of the limiting cylinder defining an internally threaded bore 410.

[0038] With the above arrangement, the second fastening member 400 can be snapped onto the mounting portion, and during the process of connecting the first frame body 100 to the second frame body 200, the personnel does not need to hold the second fastening member 400 to fix the position of the second fastening member 400, which facilitates improving the efficiency of the connection between the first frame body 100 and the second frame body 200.

[0039] In one embodiment, as in the Fig. 1, Fig. 6, Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, the roof rack further includes a decorative frame 500, wherein the decorative frame 500 is detachably mounted to the first frame body 100, and the decorative frame 500 is arranged around the opening 110.

[0040] For example, the decorative frame 500 may be a rectangular, box-shaped structure, and parts of the functional component 20 may be exposed from the decorative frame 500. The decorative frame 500 may be detachably mounted to the first frame body 100 by means of a snap-in portion, a fastener, or magnetic attraction, etc., without any particular limitation.

[0041] By disposing the decorative frame 500, the use of the decorative frame 500 can cover the connection structure between the first frame body 100 and the second frame body 200, thereby improving the aesthetics of the roof. At the same time, the connection structure between the first frame body 100 and the second frame body 200 is less likely to come into contact with external contaminants, which improves the reliability of the connection between the first frame body 100 and the second frame body 200.

[0042] In a special embodiment, as in the Fig. 1, Fig. 3, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 8 and Fig. As shown in Fig. 9, the decorative frame 500 is provided with a locking portion 510 on the side facing the first frame body 100, and the first frame body 100 is provided with a locking hole 120 for the locking portion 510 to lock into a position at the edge of the opening 110. The locking portion 510 may be provided on the main body portion of the decorative frame 500 through a one-piece molding process. For example, the locking hole 120 may be a waist-shaped hole opened in the first frame body 100, and one end of the locking portion 510 facing away from the main body portion of the decorative frame 500 is formed into a plate-like structure provided with a restricting protrusion. When an end portion of the engaging portion 510 extends into the engaging hole 120, the end portion of the engaging portion 510 may be elastically deformed to cause the restricting projection to cross the engaging hole 120.After the limiting projection crosses the engaging hole 120, the end portion of the engaging portion 510 is reset under its own elastic force, and the limiting projection abuts against the portion of the first frame body 100 located at the edge of the engaging hole 120 to fix the decorative frame 500 to the first frame body 100.

[0043] With the above arrangement, the decorative frame 500 can be quickly mounted to the first frame body 100, thereby improving the efficiency of assembling the decorative frame 500.

[0044] In a more specific embodiment, as in Fig. 3, Fig. 5, Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, the number of the engaging portions 510 is a plurality, the plurality of engaging portions 510 are spaced around the center of the decorative frame 500, and the number of engaging holes 120 is a plurality, the plurality of engaging holes 120 are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the plurality of engaging portions 510.

[0045] The number of locking sections 510 is not limited, and the person skilled in the art can determine it according to actual needs. As shown in Fig. 9, for example, two engaging portions 510 are arranged near an upper position and near a lower position on a side of the decorative frame 500 facing the first frame body 100, and one engaging portion 510 is arranged on each of the left and right sides of the decorative frame 500. The number of engaging holes 120 is the same as the number of engaging portions 510, and during assembly of the decorative frame 500, the plurality of engaging portions 510 are each engaged one-to-one with the plurality of engaging holes 120 on the first frame body 100.

[0046] The above arrangement further improves the reliability of the connection between the decorative frame 500 and the first frame body 100 and ensures that the decorative frame 500 cannot be easily detached from the first frame body 100. As shown in the Fig. 3, Fig. 5, Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, the first frame body 100 is provided with limiting holes 130 on both sides of the opening 110, and the decorative frame 500 is provided with limiting posts 520 on both sides of the side of the decorative frame 500 facing the first frame body 100, and each of the limiting posts 520 extends into one of the limiting holes 130, respectively.

[0047] For example, the cross-sectional shape of the limiting holes 130 may be circular, and the number of the limiting holes 130 is not limited, and for example, as shown in the Fig. 3 and Fig. 5, a restricting hole 130 may be disposed at each of the positions of the first frame body 100 located on both sides of the opening 110. The restricting post 520 may be disposed on the main body portion of the decorative frame 500 by a one-piece molding process. It is worth noting that when the restricting post 520 extends into the restricting hole 130, the first frame body 100 may restrict the position of the decorative frame 500, so that the decorative frame 500 is unable to move in the radial direction along the restricting hole 130 relative to the first frame body 100.

[0048] With the above arrangement, the decorative frame 500 can be further restricted by the cooperation between the restriction hole 130 and the restriction post 520, thereby further improving the reliability of the connection between the decorative frame 500 and the first frame body 100.

[0049] In other embodiments, when the functional component 20 is a decorative block or other lighting element, a portion of the functional component 20 extends into the receiving cavity of the first frame body 100, another portion of the functional component 20 is disposed on the outside of the receiving cavity, and the portion of the functional component 20 disposed on the outside of the receiving cavity may be provided with a limiting shaft. The limiting shaft may extend into the limiting hole 130 of the first frame body 100. In this way, the functional component 20 may be supported and positioned by the fit between the limiting shaft and the limiting hole 130.

[0050] In one embodiment, as in the Fig. 1 and Fig.4, the mounting seat 210 is provided with a cavity 212 into which the roof lamp 10 projects, and the bottom and side walls of the cavity 212 are provided with fastening holes 213 through which the fastening element can be passed.

[0051] It should be noted that the bottom wall of the cavity 212 is a wall surface of the cavity 212 facing the first frame body 100 side, and the side wall of the cavity 212 is a wall surface of the cavity 212 arranged around the bottom wall. For example, the fastening holes 213 may be arranged in the wall surface of the roof-facing side of the cavity 212. The number of fastening holes 213 is not limited; one skilled in the art may provide a plurality of fastening holes 213 in the bottom wall or the side wall of the cavity 212, respectively, wherein the plurality of fastening holes 213 on the bottom wall of the cavity 212 are spaced apart in a longitudinal direction of the mounting seat 210, and the plurality of fastening holes 213 on the side wall of the cavity 212 are spaced apart in a longitudinal direction of the mounting seat 210.It is worth mentioning that after the roof lamp 10 is extended into the cavity 212, screws may be used to pass through the corresponding fixing holes 213 and lock onto the portion of the roof lamp 10 extended into the cavity 212 to lock the roof lamp 10 to the mounting seat 210.

[0052] By the above arrangement, the reliability of the connection between the roof lamp 10 and the mounting seat 210 is ensured, and the roof lamp 10 cannot fall off from the second frame body 200 during driving.

[0053] The present application also provides a vehicle comprising a vehicle body, a functional component 20, two roof lamps 10, and the above roof rack for vehicles.
