Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automobile components, and more particularly to a space expansion mechanism for an automobile. [Background technology]
[0002] According to the industry standard "Garage Building Design Standards" JGJ100-98, Chapter 4, Article 1.3, Table 4.1.3 "Minimum indoor ceiling height within garages" contains detailed regulations regarding the height of indoor garages, specifically as follows: The minimum net height for indoor garages for miniature cars and small cars is 2.2 meters. The minimum net height for an indoor garage for a light vehicle is 2.8 metres. The minimum net height for indoor garages for medium-sized, large and articulated buses is 3.4 metres. The minimum net height for indoor garages for medium-sized, large and articulated trucks is 4.2 metres. Therefore, according to the standard regulations, the height of garages in buildings such as high-rise buildings generally needs to be at least 2.2 meters net height.
[0003] Vehicle height is defined as the distance from the ground to the highest point of the vehicle. This refers to the highest point above the passenger compartment, but does not include the length of the roof antenna. A Baidu search reveals that family cars (sedans) range in length from 3800mm to 4300mm, width from 1600mm to 1800mm, and height from 1400mm to 1600mm, while SUVs generally range in height from 1600mm to 2400mm. The heights of various classes of SUVs are as follows: 1) small SUVs are generally 1720mm, 2) compact SUVs are generally 1950mm, 3) mid-size SUVs are generally 2000mm, 4) large SUVs are 2300mm, and the largest full-size SUVs are 2400mm.
[0004] For most families, the family car they choose is typically a standard sedan or a small or medium-sized SUV. While these types of vehicles offer the advantage of being easy to drive into a garage and convenient to park, they are primarily used to transport people or small amounts of goods. When used for sightseeing or overnight stays, however, the limited interior space presents a number of drawbacks. For example, they lack on-board restrooms (only large recreational vehicles have them), limiting tourist parking to campgrounds and parking lots with restrooms, significantly reducing the convenience of overnight parking. This is especially true when traveling through vast, uninhabited areas, on long commutes, or in special circumstances where a temporary restroom is needed. A standard family car simply cannot meet these needs.
[0005] Therefore, how to develop a space expansion mechanism for automobiles and assemble it into an ordinary automobile to expand the interior space of the automobile, provide a stable privacy space, and meet the needs of overnight travel, personal toilets, bathing, etc. has become a technical problem that must be solved as soon as possible by those skilled in the art.

[0028] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0029] As shown in Figures 1 to 25, the space expansion mechanism for an automobile comprises a space expansion assembly and a rolling connection assembly, and the space expansion assembly is attached to the rear of the passenger compartment of an automobile body 100 via the rolling connection assembly. When using the space expansion mechanism, when a back door 101 of the passenger compartment is opened, the space expansion assembly is expanded rearward and downward by pulling and reversing operations, forming a housing structure, and the opening side of the housing structure faces the passenger compartment of the automobile body 100 and communicates with the interior space of the passenger compartment.
[0030] Specifically, as shown in Figures 18 and 19, the rolling connection assembly uses a self-adaptive positioning structure, which includes a telescopic rod 102, the bottom of which is positioned and connected to the bottom of the vehicle compartment via a bottom connecting plate 103, the positioning holes of which are aligned with the positioning holes of the vehicle seat and synchronously fixed using the positioning bolts of the seat, an upper positioning plate 104 is connected to the top of the telescopic rod 102, and a self-adaptive block is connected to the top surface of the upper positioning plate 104, which is made of a flexible material, preferably sponge, polyurethane, or rubber block, so as to be able to adapt to various roof shapes, and an assembly positioning plate 105 is connected to the outside of the telescopic rod 102, and the assembly positioning plate 105 is provided with a number of positioning holes so as to be used in cooperation with other rolling connection components. In one specific embodiment, the space expansion assembly is slidably connected to both the left and right sides of the rear of the passenger compartment of the automobile body 100 or to the upper part of the rear of the passenger compartment.
[0031] Specifically, the space-expanding assembly is connected to both the left and right sides of the rear cabin of the vehicle body 100 via a slide rail connection assembly 200 or a guide sliding positioning plate 700, the slide rail connection assembly 200 including a side guide chute 201 and a side slide rail 202, the side slide rail 202 being slidably connected to the side guide chute 201, the side guide chute 201 being attached to both the left and right sides of the rear cabin of the vehicle body 100, the side slide rail 202 being connected to the space-expanding assembly, the guide sliding positioning plate 700 being attached to both the left and right sides of the rear cabin of the vehicle body 100, and the space-expanding assembly being slidably connected within the chute of the guide sliding positioning plate 700. Specifically, the side guide chute 201 or the guide sliding positioning plate 700 is directly connected to the extension rod 102 or connected to the assembly positioning plate 105, and the specific connection manner is selected according to the interior space or combination conditions of the vehicle. In the first embodiment, the space expansion assembly is connected to both the left and right sides of the rear of the passenger compartment of the automobile body 100 via a slide rail connection assembly 200 . As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the space expansion assembly includes three parts: a side plate assembly 300, a back plate assembly 400, and a bottom plate 500, which are connected to each other;
[0032] The side panel assembly 300 includes a main side panel 301, an upper side panel 302, and a lower side panel 303. The upper side panel 302 and the lower side panel 303 are telescopically connected to both ends of the main side panel 301. The side slide rails 202 are connected to the outer surfaces of the main side panel 301. Specifically, the upper side panel 302 and the lower side panel 303 are connected to the main side panel 301 using a drawer-type slide structure to cooperate with each other and realize up and down pulling operation. At the same time, linear movement can also be realized using automatic driving members such as linear motors and cylinders. The selection of driving members can reduce the labor intensity of manual operation, and the specific connection method can be selected according to actual needs.
[0033] The back plate assembly 400 comprises an upper back plate 402, a main back plate 401 and a lower back plate 403 arranged from top to bottom, the main back plate 401, the upper back plate 402 and the lower back plate 403 are reversibly connected to the outer edges of the main side plate 301, the upper plate 302 and the lower plate 303 respectively, and the bottom plate 500 is connected to the bottom edge of the lower plate 303, specifically, the bottom plate 500 can extend directly down to the ground or be suspended a short distance.
[0034] In addition, to increase the load-bearing capacity of the base plate, support legs 600 may be further installed at the four corners of the base plate 500. Specifically, whether support legs are required is determined based on the actual extension length of the base plate 500. During installation, the support legs 600 are quickly and disassembled and connected to the base plate 500. Positioning grooves are provided on the bottom surface of the base plate 500 at positions where the support legs 600 will fit to enable quick installation. Magnets may also be disposed in the positioning grooves to ensure connection stability. Specifically, the support legs 600 are installed in a height-adjustable structure and include an upper positioning leg and a lower telescopic leg. The upper ends of the telescopic legs are inserted into central positioning holes of the positioning legs and are positioned and locked by vertically arranged positioning pins.
[0035] Specifically, the bottom plate 500 adopts a symmetrical double-plate structure, in which the bottom plate 500 is reversibly connected to the bottom side of the lower plate 303 via a third rotating connecting member 501 .
[0036] The main back panel 401 is hingedly connected to the outer edge of the main side panel 301 via a second rotating connecting member 405, and the upper back panel 402 and the lower back panel 403 are both connected to the outer edges of the upper side panel 302 and the lower side panel 303 via a first rotating connecting member 404. After being inverted, the upper back panel 402 and the lower back panel 403 are folded together adjacent to the upper side panel 302 and the lower side panel 303. After being inverted, the main back panel 401 is parallel to the main side panel 301 and has a storage gap in the middle, and the thickness of the storage gap is the same as the thickness of the upper side panel 302, the lower side panel 303, the upper back panel 402 and the lower back panel 403 after being folded.
[0037] Specifically, the first rotating connecting member 404 and the third rotating connecting member 501 can be selected to have a 0°-90° hinge structure, and the second rotating connecting member 405 can also be a 90° hinge structure, with the connection position only needing to be adjusted to ensure a certain gap (parallel to the main back plate) when stacked, and ensuring the flatness of all the plates when stacked. Alternatively, the first rotating connecting member 404, the second rotating connecting member 405, and the third rotating connecting member 501 can all be replaced with flexible connecting member 908, with the distance between the plates only needing to be adjusted. A combination structure combining a hinge structure with a one-sided flexible connecting member can also be adopted, thereby ensuring the strength and tightness of the connection.
[0038] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, the hinge includes two rolling connecting plates and one hinge pin 120, where the first rolling connecting plate 110 and the second rolling connecting plate 130 are arranged crosswise or parallel to each other and attached to the same hinge pin 120, and a position-regulating spring or step is arranged according to need to position the rotation angle. At the same time, the lengths of the first rolling connecting plate 110 and the second rolling connecting plate 130 are different, and are adjusted according to the actual folding state after rotation. If a gap is required, one of the rolling connecting plates can be made longer; if not required, they can be designed to be the same length.
[0039] Clearance steps are provided on the inner surfaces of both the upper and lower ends of the main side plate 301, and the depth of the clearance steps is greater than or equal to the height of the upper side plate 302 and the lower side plate 303, and the height of the upper back plate 402 and the lower back plate 403 is less than the maximum height of the upper side plate 302 and the lower side plate 303. As shown in FIG. 16, the use process of this embodiment is as follows: Step 1, open the back door 101 of the vehicle compartment,
[0040] Step 2: The space expansion assembly slides outward. The main side plate 301 drives all components to slide outward along the side guide chute 201 under the movement of the side slide rail 202. In the initial state, the side plate assembly 300, the back plate assembly 400 and the bottom plate 500 are folded symmetrically into two groups and arranged in the vehicle interior; Step 3: Expanding the space expansion assembly, which mainly includes the following steps: 1) The upper plate 302 and the lower plate 303 are driven by simultaneously extending the folding upper back plate 402 and the folding lower back plate 403 in both the up and down directions. 2) The bottom plate 500 is inverted downwards to a horizontal position. 3) The lower back plate 403 is flipped outward until it is perpendicular to the lower side plate 303; 4) The main back panel 401 is flipped outward until it is perpendicular to the main side panel 301; 5) The lower back plate 402 is flipped outward until it is perpendicular to the lower side plate 302;
[0041] Step 4: Installing the support legs. The bottom corners of the base plate 500 are provided with grooves that fit the support legs. The support legs 600 can be placed directly vertically in the grooves, and then adjusted to the appropriate height and locked, so that the bottom ends of the support legs are stably supported on the ground. Through the above four steps, the space expansion assembly can be expanded, and by performing the reverse operation, the space expansion assembly can be stored. In the second embodiment, the space expansion assembly is connected to both the left and right sides of the rear of the passenger compartment of the automobile body 100 via a slide rail connection assembly 200 .
[0042] As shown in Figures 7 to 9, the overall structure is almost the same as in Example 1, with the difference being the structure of the bottom plate 500, which adopts a single-plate structure, and both ends of the bottom plate 500 are connected to the bottom edges of the two lower plates 303 via screws.
[0043] The operation steps of this embodiment are almost the same as those of embodiment 1, except for the first and second steps of step 3, in which the single-plate bottom plate 500 is extended to a predetermined position together with the lower plate 303, and no secondary inversion process is required.
[0044] As shown in steps 10 to 11 of Example 3, the overall structure is almost the same as that of Example 1, except for the structure of the rolling assembly, in which the space expansion assembly is connected to both the left and right sides of the rear of the passenger compartment of the automobile body 100 via a guide sliding positioning plate 700, and the guide sliding positioning plate 700 is attached to both the left and right sides of the rear of the passenger compartment of the automobile body 100, and the space expansion assembly is slidably connected within the chute of the guide sliding positioning plate 700.
[0045] The operation steps of this embodiment are almost the same as those of the first embodiment, except for step 2, in which the space expansion assembly slides outward. The main side plate 301 slides all components outward along the guide slide positioning plate 700. Specifically, rollers 701 or sliders are connected to both ends of the main side plate 301, which allows for quick sliding, making operation easier and saving time and effort. Example 4, as shown in Figures 12 to 15, has a lifting structure.
[0046] Specifically, the space expansion assembly is connected to the upper part of the rear cabin of the automobile body 100 via a lifting guide sliding assembly 800, and the lifting guide sliding assembly 800 includes an upper guide chute 801 and an upper guide sliding plate 802 that are slidably connected, and the upper guide chute 801 is attached to the upper part of the rear cabin of the automobile body 100, and the upper guide sliding plate 802 is attached to the space expansion assembly.
[0047] When lifting, the space-expanding assembly is installed on a lifting and folding assembly 900, which includes an upper connecting plate 901, a folding side plate assembly, and a folding back plate assembly. The upper surface of the upper connecting plate 901 is slidably connected to the upper guide chute 801 via the upper guide sliding plate 802.

[0050] When the upper folding side panel 902, the middle folding side panel 903, the lower folding side panel 904, the upper folding back panel 905, the middle folding back panel 906 and the lower folding back panel 907 are all connected with plates of a certain thickness, it should be noted that the clearance position of the corresponding hinge members must be reserved in advance to ensure flatness after folding. At the same time, corresponding positioning assemblies are installed, and locking members are installed on the adjacent edges of the two upper folding side panels 902, and after overlapping, the locking members on both sides are directly connected to perform positioning and locking. Specifically, the locking member can be an assembly of a group of magnets, snaps or hook-and-loop members.
[0051] Specifically, the folding side panel assembly and the folding back panel assembly are made of flexible material and molded to have a suitable fit gap and width in advance in the inverted folding position to ensure flatness after folding. A cylindrical fabric can be used to reduce the weight of the assembly, making it easy to store and align.
[0052] Furthermore, it includes a base plate 500, which has a double-plate structure and is reversibly connected to the bottom edge of the lower folding side plate 904 via a 90° hinge structure or a flexible connecting member 908.

Specifically, whether support legs are required can be selected according to the actual extension length of the base plate 500. As shown in FIG. 17, the use process of this embodiment is as follows: Step 1, open the back door 101 of the vehicle compartment,
[0053] Step 2: The lifting and folding assembly 900 slides outward. The upper guide sliding plate 802 on the upper surface of the upper connecting plate 901 slides outward along the sliding plate chute 801 at the top of the vehicle compartment. In the initial state, the lifting and folding assembly 900 is folded together and placed at the top of the vehicle compartment. Step 3, unfolding the lifting and folding assembly 900, mainly includes the following steps: 1) The upper folding side panel 902 is inverted downward by 90° to assume a vertical position; 2) The middle folding side panel 903 is turned down 180° to assume a vertical position; 3) The lower folding side panel 904 is turned down 180° to assume a vertical position; 4) The bottom plate 500 is inverted downward by 90° to assume a horizontal state. 5) The lower folding back panel 907 is perpendicular to the lower folding side panel 904 after being turned outward by 90°; 6) The middle folding back panel 906 turns outward 90° and then becomes perpendicular to the middle folding side panel 903; 7) The upper folding back panel 905 is perpendicular to the upper folding side panel 902 after being flipped outward 90°;
[0054] Step 4: Installing the support legs. The bottom corners of the base plate 500 are provided with grooves that fit the support legs. The support legs 600 can be placed directly vertically in the grooves, and then adjusted to the appropriate height and locked, so that the bottom ends of the support legs are stably supported on the ground.
[0055] Through the above four steps, the lifting and folding assembly 900 (space expanding assembly) can be expanded, and by performing the reverse operation, the lifting and folding assembly 900 can be stored. Example 5, as shown in FIGS. 18 to 21, has a hinge inverted structure.
[0056] The space expansion assembly is designed as a hinge reversal assembly 910, which is reversibly connected to the assembly positioning plate 105 via a hinge, and in the folded state, the two assembly positioning plates 105 are vertically symmetrically arranged and approximately parallel to the rear door 101 of the vehicle compartment.

The use process of this example is as follows: Step 1, open the back door 101 of the vehicle compartment,
[0058] Step 2: The two symmetrical hinge reversal assemblies 910 are rotated outward by 90° and spread apart, and under the initial state, the hinge reversal assemblies 910 are folded and positioned at the rear of the vehicle cabin; Step 3, unfolding the hinge inversion assembly 910, mainly includes the following steps:
[0059] 1) The lower inverted side plate 912 and the side intermediate transition plate 913 are synchronously inverted downward by 90°, and the side intermediate transition plate 913 assumes a vertical state. Thereafter, the lower inverted side plate 912 continues to be inverted downward by 90°, and the lower inverted side plate 912 assumes a vertical state.
[0060] 2) The rear upper inverting plate 914 rotates outward by 90° or 270° to be perpendicular to the main positioning plate 911, and the rear middle transition plate 916 at the bottom is inverted downward by 90°, which is then perpendicular to the side middle transition plate 913 after inversion; 3) The rear lower inversion plate 915 is inverted 90° outward and then becomes perpendicular to the lower inversion side plate 912, 4) The inverted bottom plate 917 is inverted downward by 90° to assume a horizontal state. Step 4: The hinge reversal assembly 910 on the other side is operated synchronously to complete the spreading operation.
[0061] Through the above four steps, the hinge inversion assembly 910 (space expansion assembly) can be expanded, and by performing the reverse operation, the hinge inversion assembly 910 can be retracted. The specific folding and reversing method can be adjusted according to actual needs and is not limited to the single embodiment described above. Example 6, as shown in Figures 22 to 24, is a roof folding and expanding structure.
[0062] The space expansion assembly is designed as a roof folding expansion assembly 920, and the roof folding expansion assembly 920 includes an upper assembly 921 and a lower assembly 922. The upper assembly 921 includes an upper plate and an upper back plate that are hinged together, and the left side of the upper plate is hinged to the rear door 101 of the vehicle compartment. The lower assembly 922 includes three plates, namely a lower plate, a lower back plate and a bottom plate. Depending on the inversion position when the three plates are opened, corresponding sides of the three plates are hinged together, and the lower plate and the upper plate are either hinged together or connected so as to be removable. They are stacked when not unfolded and form a housing structure after unfolding.
[0063] Referring to other embodiments, the use process of this embodiment can be simply described as follows: first, open the rear door 101 of the vehicle compartment; then, the upper assembly 921 is inverted to a vertical position; then, the lower assembly 922 is subsequently inverted or extended to a vertical position and positioned below the upper assembly 921; finally, through the hinge connection relationship, the upper back panel, lower back panel and bottom panel are inverted sequentially to a predetermined position; after being fully expanded, they become a housing structure; and the opening side of the housing structure faces the passenger compartment of the automobile body 100 and communicates with the interior space of the passenger compartment; finally, an auxiliary positioning member is used to position and lock the relative panels.
[0064] Through the above steps, the roof folding and expanding assembly 920 (space expanding assembly) can be expanded, and by performing the reverse operation, the roof folding and expanding assembly 920 can be stored. Example 7, as shown in Figure 25, is a Z-shaped roof folding structure.
[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment, the space expansion assembly is designed as a Z-shaped roof folding assembly 930, which includes an upper folding assembly 931, a lower folding assembly 932, and a linear bottom panel 933. The upper folding assembly 931 includes an upper panel and an upper back panel that are reversibly connected, and the left side of the upper panel is hinged to the rear door 101 of the vehicle cabin. The lower folding assembly 932 includes a lower panel and a lower back panel that are integrally hinged, and the left and right sides of the two symmetrical lower panels are connected to the linear bottom panel 933. When the three panels are opened, their corresponding sides are integrally hinged according to the reversal position. The lower panel and the upper panel are integrally hinged at one edge adjacent to each other. They are stacked when not unfolded, and form a Z-shape during unfolding, and form a housing structure after being fully unfolded.
[0066] Briefly, the use process of this embodiment is as follows: first, open the rear door 101 of the vehicle compartment; then, pull the bottom panel 933 downward to drive the lower folding assembly 932 and the upper folding assembly 931 to spread downward; after spreading out vertically, the upper and lower panels are vertical and perpendicular to the bottom panel 933; then, the hinged and foldable upper and lower panels are flipped clockwise or counterclockwise to spread out to corresponding positions perpendicular to the upper and lower panels; after being fully spread out, they become a housing structure, with the open side of the housing structure facing the passenger compartment of the automobile body 100 and communicating with the interior space of the passenger compartment; finally, use an auxiliary positioning member to position and lock the relative panels.
[0067] Through the above steps, the Z-shaped roof folding assembly 930 (space expanding assembly) can be expanded, and by performing the reverse operation, the Z-shaped roof folding assembly 930 can be retracted.
[0068] Specifically, Examples 6 and 7 are connected to the rear door 101 of the vehicle compartment via a hinge, do not occupy interior space, have little impact on the passenger storage function of the vehicle compartment, and are more convenient for modification work on existing automobile structures.

[0070] When the rear door 101 of the vehicle compartment is opened, the inverting drive assembly 941 is activated and spread out, and drives the inverting extension assembly 942 to slide backward and invert to become vertical, and the folded plates on the inverting extension assembly 942 are successively spread out to form a housing structure.
[0071] Specifically, the inverting drive assembly 941 uses multiple hydraulic cylinders to form an interlocking robot arm, and the movable end of the robot arm is always hinged to the bottom of the side wall of the inverting extension assembly 942. After the robot arm is extended, the arm length is sufficient for the inverting extension assembly 942 to slide out and invert. The height and width of the inverting extension assembly 942 are consistent with the space inside the vehicle body 100, avoiding interference problems. When stored, the inverting extension assembly 942 lies flat and maintains a rectangular housing structure.

When unfolding, they are pushed up directly or inverted. After being fully unfolded, the side panels, back panel, and bottom panel are perpendicular to each other, forming an enclosed enclosure structure and realizing the expansion of the interior space of the vehicle.
[0072] When it is necessary to store the vehicle, the side extension panels 945 and the rear extension panels 947 are first inverted or pushed inward, and then returned to the stacked state. Then, the linked robotic arms formed by hydraulic cylinders are retracted and returned, tilting and sliding the inverted extension assembly 942 in the stacked state upward. After the robotic arms are fully returned, the inverted extension assembly 942 is driven to its initial lying flat state. Finally, the rear door 101 of the vehicle compartment is closed, and the vehicle is returned to its original state.
[0073] In this embodiment, in addition to the above main components, other locking and positioning components are provided to ensure the stability of the sliding reverse assembly 940 during the vehicle running process.

When connecting, the two plates are specifically covered with appropriately cut connecting fabric to increase the overlapping area so as to ensure the strength of the connection, and an appropriate reversal gap is reserved on both the opposing sides of the two plates to ensure a completely sealed state when opening and a folding margin when closing.
[0075] In addition, a combination structure of a hinge structure and a flexible connecting member on one side may be adopted between two inverted or folded plates to ensure connection strength and sealing.
