Abstract

A tiltable carrying rack structure (a) is provided for use at the rear of a vehicle to enable the tilting function of the rack. The structure includes: a connecting base for connecting to a trailer ball or connecting pipe at the rear of the vehicle; a fixed base connected to the connecting base and providing support for the carrying rack; a rack, a frame structure rotatably connected to the fixed base via a pivoting mechanism; and a release mechanism including a foot switch on the rack, a steel cable linked to the foot switch, and a sliding member within the fixed base. The sliding member can slide along a narrow groove to lock or release the tilting function of the rack. Accordingly, the user can operate the release mechanism with one foot to quickly enter the tilting state, and a spring structure automatically resets the sliding member, improving operational convenience and safety.

Claims

1. A tiltable carrying rack structure (a), comprising: a trailer ball, a connecting seat, a fixing seat, and a storage rack, and equipped with a foot switch and a steel cable linkage device, characterized in that: the trailer ball or connecting tube is fixed to a device at the rear of the vehicle, serving as a support point for the carrying rack; the connecting seat is used to fix the trailer ball or connecting tube, so that the carrying rack is fixed to the rear end of the vehicle; the fixing seat is arranged in a U-shape or V-shape, connected to the connecting seat in the center, supporting and fixing the storage rack; the storage rack is installed on the fixing seat and can tilt relative to the fixing seat to achieve angle adjustment; the storage rack is a frame structure, and a license plate frame is provided to be installed at the front end of the storage rack; the aforementioned fixing seat is provided with a pivot seat, and the storage rack is provided with a pivot part at a predetermined position, the pivot part being axially connected to the pivot seat, and the two being connected by a pin, so that the storage rack can rotate or tilt on the pivot seat; The shelf has a central tube, and a fixing member is located at the upper end of the connecting base. The fixing member has a U-shaped groove for fixing the position of the shelf. The tube has a connecting end that can be detachably connected to the fixing member. A kick switch is located on the side of the tube opposite to the connecting end. A steel cable linkage device is located between the kick switch and the connecting end, and one side of the steel cable linkage device is fixed to the license plate frame. The connecting end has a narrow groove, and a sliding member is located in the narrow groove of the steel cable linkage device. The sliding member is connected to a spring for resetting. Accordingly, when the kick switch is pressed, the license plate frame hangs downwards. The steel cable linkage device pulls the sliding member in the connecting end, causing the connecting end of the shelf to detach from the fixing member, allowing the shelf to be flipped or its angle adjusted.

2. The tiltable carrying frame structure (a) as described in claim 1, wherein, The linkage end is equipped with a safety locking device that can lock the sliding part in the U-shaped groove when needed, preventing the shelf from accidentally tipping over during operation.

3. The tiltable carrying frame structure (a) as described in claim 1, wherein, The spring is used to automatically return the slider to its original position, ensuring that the slider remains locked when the kick switch is not activated.

4. The tiltable carrying frame structure (a) as described in claim 1, wherein, The foot switch consists of a J-shaped rod, a bent plate, and a torsion spring. When the user wants to unlock the switch, stepping on the plate will cause the rod to pull the cable linkage, disengaging the slider from the U-shaped groove, and the torsion spring will return the foot switch to its original position.

5. The tiltable carrying frame structure (a) as described in claim 1, wherein, A suitcase is placed on the shelf.

6. The tiltable carrying frame structure (a) as described in claim 1, wherein, The shelf is equipped with a bicycle rack.

7. The tiltable carrying frame structure (a) as described in claim 1, wherein, The trailer ball can be replaced with a connecting tube.
