[0039] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0040] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, terms such as "mounted," "connected," "connect," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense.

[0042] The inventors of this application have discovered that the open spaces in conventional pickup trucks and other vehicle cargo areas can improve the vehicle's carrying capacity to a certain extent. However, these open storage spaces provide insufficient protection for items, lack privacy and confidentiality, and lack waterproofing, theft prevention, rainproofing, and windproofing. Currently, there are designs in the industry that incorporate a cover 110 into the vehicle compartment. For example, a flat cover, roughly the same height as the compartment, significantly limits the compartment space. Alternatively, the cover 110 is elevated above the compartment, roughly the same height as the roof, but this increases the vehicle's drag coefficient and fails to meet the diverse application scenarios of the compartment.

[0043] To this end, embodiments of the present application provide a compartment cover 100, a compartment structure, and a vehicle that can be used to utilize open storage space in a vehicle, specifically in the trunk of a pickup truck. The compartment cover 100, compartment structure, and vehicle provided herein can provide privacy protection for the compartment while also providing waterproof, windproof, and theft-proof features, allowing for flexible storage space adjustment.

[0044] It should be noted that, for ease of understanding, in the embodiments of this application, the tonneau cover 100 provided herein is intended for use in the rear compartment of a pickup truck. Furthermore, the directional terms that may be mentioned in this application are generally described with the vehicle as the reference object. The front end in this application refers to the end of an object closest to the vehicle cab 300, and the rear end in this application refers to the end of an object closest to the trunk 200.

[0045] Referring to Figure 4, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of the cover 110 in the open state, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle compartment cover 100, comprising a cover 110 and a lifting member 120. The cover 110 comprises a top cover 111 and a bracket 112, which is disposed around the periphery of the cover 110. One side of the cover 110 is rotatably connected to the bracket 112. One end of the lifting member 120 is connected to the cover 110, and the end of the lifting member 120 away from the cover 110 is connected to the bracket 112.

[0046] Specifically, the cover 110 can be fixed to the vehicle compartment as a protective device to provide privacy and rain protection for items carried in the compartment. The bracket 112 is made of a metal frame or panels. During use, the bracket 112 is fixed to the pickup truck compartment to increase the height of the compartment and improve the storage space. The size of the bracket 112 is adapted to the size of the compartment and has at least three frame edges to secure it to the compartment. The bracket 112 can be connected to the compartment by bolt locking, welding, or other fixed connection methods, as long as the bracket 112 can be firmly installed on the compartment.

[0047] Combined with the figure shown in FIG1 , the top cover 111 can be a flat metal plate, and one side of the top cover 111 is rotatably connected to a frame edge of the bracket 112. Specifically, the top cover 111 and the bracket 112 can be rotatably connected by a pin, and bearings and bushings can be added to reduce the wear of the pin. By manipulating the side of the top cover 111 that is not connected to the bracket 112, the top cover 111 can be flipped to change the overall storage space size. When there are fewer items to carry and the top cover 111 completely covers the bracket 112 to meet the storage needs, the sides of the top cover 111 fit with the frames of the bracket 112, and a sealing strip can be set on the side to achieve a sealed connection between the top cover 111 and the bracket 112, thereby realizing the privacy and protection functions of the compartment.

[0048] In conjunction with Figures 3, 4, 7 and 8, Figures 3 and 4 both reflect the connection structure of the telescopic member in the operating state, and Figures 7 and 8 reflect the connection structure of the telescopic member in the storage state. The two ends of the telescopic member can be respectively connected to the top cover 111 and the bracket 112 through a pin. The telescopic member can be a rod or cylinder with a telescopic function. In order to reduce the installation space, in this embodiment, the telescopic member can be a telescopic rod. However, the telescopic rod in this application includes but is not limited to an electric push rod, a gas spring rod or a multi-section telescopic rod. In the storage state, the telescopic rod is parallel or nearly parallel to the bottom of the support plate. When the top cover 111 needs to be opened, the cover body 110 can be lifted up by the lifting of the telescopic rod. At the same time, the cover body 110 pulls the telescopic rod to rotate, forming a stable support angle to achieve the space adjustment function of the car.

[0049] In one embodiment, the top cover 111 can be opened automatically. The telescopic rod includes a push rod and a motor. A control button is provided on the cover 110 or on the vehicle, and the button is electrically connected to the motor. The motor is in transmission connection with the electric push rod, and the motor controls the movement of the electric push rod, which can be a worm gear, rack and pinion, etc. Operation of the button sends start and stop commands to the motor, thereby controlling the raising and lowering of the push rod to close or open the top cover 111.

[0050] Furthermore, this embodiment may also include a circuit sensor and a control module. The sensor can detect the circuit current of the motor. During the automatic opening and closing process of the top cover 111, when the top cover 111 touches a foreign object, a certain closing resistance will be generated, thereby increasing the force on the push rod and the transmission current of the motor. When the sensor senses the current change, the control component sends a stop command to the motor and the push rod stops moving to prevent the risk of pinching hands, pinching objects or hitting people during the opening and closing process of the top cover 111.

[0051] In another embodiment, the top cover 111 is manually opened, and the telescopic rod can be a gas spring. When the operator flips the top cover 111 upward, the telescopic rod can support the top cover 111. When closing the top cover 111, the operator only needs to press the top cover 111 downward, and the telescopic rod will retract and be stored at the bottom of the bracket 112.

[0052] Of course, in other embodiments, the telescopic member may also be a linear motor, a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder or other devices, all of which can achieve the lifting effect on the top cover 111.

[0053] The number of telescopic members can be one, two, three, or four, and can be specifically set according to factors such as the lifting force of the telescopic members and the overall structural size. In this embodiment, the number of telescopic members is two, and the two telescopic members are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top cover 111 and located at the rear end of the bracket 112 to form a uniform supporting force on both sides of the top cover 111, maintain force balance, reduce the supporting resistance of the telescopic members, and realize rapid opening and closing of the top cover 111.

[0054] Continuing to refer to Figures 3 and 7, in some embodiments, the car cover 100 also includes a support member 130, the top cover 111 is provided with a storage groove, the support member 130 includes a support rod 131 and a support seat 132, one end of the support rod 131 is rotatably set in the storage groove, and the support seat 132 is set on the bracket 112.

[0055] By setting the support rod 131, the support effect of the top cover 111 can be enhanced, especially when the top cover 111 is opened and closed manually, the support rod 131 can be set to prevent the top cover 111 from being closed unintentionally when the telescopic part is subjected to greater pressure due to external force or its own gravity.

[0056] In this embodiment, one end of the support rod 131 is pivotally connected to the top cover 111 via a pin, and when stowed, the support rod 131 can be positioned entirely within the stowage slot. The end of the support rod 131 not connected to the top cover 111 is not restrained. When the top cover 111 is raised, the support rod 131 can be rotated to be perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the top cover 111. The support base 132 fixed to the bracket 112 presses against the support rod 131, thereby providing a stable support for the support rod 131.

[0057] The support seat 132 can be directly fixed to the inner side of the bracket 112, or it can be rotatably connected to the inner side of the bracket 112, so that when the support rod 131 is not in use, the support seat 132 can be folded onto the bracket 112 for easy storage and reduced space. A through hole is provided on the support seat 132. When the support rod 131 is in operation, the end of the support rod 131 away from the top cover 111 is inserted into the through hole to achieve rapid positioning and fixation. At the same time, in order to strengthen the connection strength between the support frame and the support seat 132, a hole can also be provided on the support rod 131. After the support rod 131 passes through the support seat 132, a pin is inserted into the hole to limit the movement of the support rod 131.

[0058] In some embodiments, the support angle of the support rod 131 to the top cover 111 is α, and the range of α is: 90°≤α≤95°.

[0059] α is the maximum rotation angle of the support rod 131 on the top cover 111, that is, when the support rod 131 is in the supporting state, the angle α between the support rod 131 and the top cover 111 satisfies 90°≤α≤95° to ensure the supporting reliability of the support rod 131.

[0060] In one embodiment, when the support rod 131 is in a supporting state, the angle α between the support rod 131 and the top cover 111 satisfies 90°<α≤95°, so that the support rod 131 forms a certain degree of over-constraint to prevent it from folding back due to a slight collision, causing the support of the support rod 131 to fail, thereby improving the support reliability of the support rod 131.

[0061] In this embodiment, α is 92°.

[0062] In some embodiments, the bracket 112 includes a front baffle 1121 and two oppositely disposed side panels 1122 . The two side panels 1122 are respectively connected to both ends of the front baffle 1121 , and the height of the side panels 1122 decreases in a direction away from the front baffle 1121 .

[0063] The two side panels 1122 are positioned opposite and symmetrically on either side of the front panel 1121. The front panel 1121 is fixed to the front end of the vehicle compartment, and the side panels 1122 are fixedly connected to the front panel 1121 by welding or bolting. The front panel 1121 and the two side panels 1122 form the bracket 112, which supports three sides of the top cover 111 when the top cover 111 is closed. The other sides of the top cover 111 are in contact with the rear end of the vehicle compartment to provide privacy protection for the items carried.

[0064] Because the height of the side panels 1122 decreases from the front to the rear, the tonneau cover 100 forms a fastback shape when closed, which reduces wind resistance during vehicle travel. The side panels 1122 can be triangular or trapezoidal, depending on actual needs. It should be noted that when the side panels 1122 are trapezoidal, a flush tailgate can be provided at the ends of the side panels 1122 to allow the cover to abut against the tailgate when closed.

[0065] 5 and 6 , FIG5 is an axial view of the closed compartment lid 100 structure, and FIG6 is a top view of the closed compartment lid 100 structure. In some embodiments, the compartment lid 100 includes a locking member 140 fixedly disposed on a side of the side panel 1122 away from the front baffle 1121, with the lid body 110 engaging with the locking member 140.

[0066] The locking member 140 is fixed to the rear end of the vehicle compartment. When the cover 110 is in the closed state, the top cover 111 is locked by the locking member 140 to stabilize the closed state of the top cover 111 .

[0067] As shown in Figure 9, in one embodiment, the locking member 140 includes a mounting block 141 and a locking block 142. The mounting block 141 is fixedly arranged on the side of the side panel 1122 away from the front baffle 1121. The locking block 142 is installed in the mounting block 141. A locking tongue 143 is provided on the locking block 142, and the locking tongue 143 is snap-fitted with the top cover 111.

[0068] Mounting block 141 is a hollow, strip-shaped metal profile fixed to the rear end of the vehicle. A locking block 142 is fixed to the center of mounting block 141 and can be operated using a key or an electronic control button. Locking block 142 is equipped with a locking tongue 143, one end of which penetrates mounting block 141 and can be moved within mounting block 141. Top cover 111 is provided with a slot that engages with locking tongue 143. When adjusting the opening and closing state of top cover 111, locking block 142 controls the selection of locking tongue 143, causing it to engage or disengage with top cover 111, thereby improving the stability of top cover 111 in its closed state.

[0069] 1 and 2 , FIG1 is an axial view of the open compartment lid 100, and FIG2 is a top view of the open compartment lid 100. In some embodiments, the compartment lid 100 further includes a shade curtain assembly 150, one end of which is connected to the top cover 111 and the other end of which covers the circumference of the top cover 111.

[0070] The shielding curtain assembly 150 can be a fabric with waterproof function and certain strength. Specifically, it can be composed of waterproof canvas or silver-coated cloth, rubber-coated cloth and other basic fabrics, which have functions such as heat insulation and rainproof. In addition, it is assisted by the shape of steel wire strips, such as curved ones, to strengthen the strength of the fabric and to shape the fabric.

[0071] The shade assembly 150 has a retractable and foldable function. In addition to the fabric's own contraction, it can also utilize an auxiliary motion mechanism to achieve folding in rolls, sheets, or layers, which will not be described in detail here. With the shade assembly 150, when the top cover 111 is opened, gaps are formed between the top cover 111, the bracket 112, and the vehicle compartment. The shade assembly 150 can cover the resulting gaps, ensuring that the vehicle compartment cover 100 protects the items carried in the vehicle compartment when the top cover 111 is opened.

[0072] As shown in Figure 10, in some embodiments, the shielding curtain assembly 150 includes a middle sunshade curtain 151 and side sunshade curtains 152 located on both sides of the middle sunshade curtain 151. The middle sunshade curtain 151 can be rolled up on the top cover 111, and the two ends of the side sunshade curtain 152 are respectively connected to the top cover 111 and the side panel 1122.

[0073] Specifically, the middle sunshade 151 is a roller blind structure, which can be operated manually or automatically. When the top cover 111 reaches its maximum opening degree, the middle sunshade 151 can be pulled down to block the gap between the top cover 111 and the rear end of the car. The side sunshades 152 can be made of simple canvas material, and the two sides are fixed to the inner side of the top cover 111 and the side panels 1122 respectively. During the movement of the top cover 111, they can be folded or opened along with the top cover 111. The side sunshades 152 can be installed on the top panel by means of Velcro adhesion, snap fastening, binding, etc., and connected to the bracket 112 in the same way, so as to block the gap between the top cover 111 and the side panels 1122 when the top cover 111 is open, thereby meeting the protection requirements for the items carried when the top cover 111 is open.

[0074] As shown in Figure 11, in some embodiments, the cover body is detachably mounted on the trunk of the vehicle, the height of the end of the cover body close to the vehicle's cab is H1, and the height of the end of the cover body away from the vehicle's cab is H2, satisfying: H1≥H2; the car body cover also includes a shelf, which is detachably mounted on the top of the cover body, and the shelf is arranged along the inclination direction of the cover body.

[0075] Specifically, when loading goods onto the top of the car cover 100, the goods to be loaded are placed on the lower end of the car cover 100, and then the loaded goods are pushed upward along the inclined surface of the top of the car cover 100. The shelf 160 is set along the inclined direction of the car cover 100, and can also protect the goods when they are pushed to prevent them from falling from the car cover 100. After the goods are loaded, they can be fixed by the shelf 160, that is, the goods are clamped in the middle of the shelf 160, or the goods and the shelf 160 can be fixed by ropes, buckles or other components.

[0076] It can be understood that the lower end height of the car cover 100 can be flush with the trunk 200 of the vehicle, that is, the car cover 100 can be a hollow cylinder with a triangular cross-section. In this way, when loading the goods to be loaded onto the top of the car cover 100, it is only necessary to lift the goods to a height flush with the trunk 200 of the vehicle, and then push the goods to the top of the car cover 100, and then push them upward along the inclined surface of the top of the car cover 100. The loading process does not require the assistance of ladders, brackets or other tools, which is simple and convenient.

[0077] It is worth mentioning that when loading cargo onto the top of the tonneau cover 100, a rope can be pre-wound around the cargo. After loading the cargo onto the top of the tonneau cover 100, the rope can be lowered from the higher end of the tonneau cover 100. The rope can then be pulled to drag the cargo to the designated location, making the loading process more convenient. Furthermore, the rope pulling operation can be performed by a motor, eliminating the need for manual pulling, further facilitating the loading process. Furthermore, a lifting mechanism can be provided at the higher end of the tonneau cover 100, such as a motor-driven rotating shaft. Once the cargo is loaded onto the rear end of the tonneau cover 100, the lifting mechanism can be used to lift the cargo along the inclined surface of the tonneau cover 100 to the designated location for securement.

[0078] 14 , in one embodiment, a vertical distance between the vehicle's trunk 200 and the top of the cab 300 is H, and satisfies the following relationship: 0.9≤H / H1≤1.1.

[0079] That is, when the top cover 111 is rotated to the horizontal position, the top of the tonneau cover 100 and the top of the cab 300 can form a horizontal plane. The cooperation between the tonneau cover 100 and the top of the cab 300 extends the length of the cargo that can be loaded on the top of the tonneau cover 100, expands the area of ​​the cargo that can be loaded on the top of the tonneau cover 100, and increases the loading capacity of the tonneau cover 100. In addition, due to the extension of the cargo loading area on the top of the tonneau cover 100, the tonneau cover 100 provided by this embodiment can load cargo that is longer than the length of the trunk 200, further improving the top loading capacity of the tonneau cover 100.

[0080] It should be noted that after the top cover 111 of the car cover 100 is rotated to a horizontal position, it does not have to remain level with the cab 300. The top cover 111 of the car cover 100 can be higher than the top of the cab 300, or lower than the top of the cab 300. As long as the height difference is within a reasonable range, it will not affect the loading of goods.

[0081] It is worth mentioning that the top cover 111 of the car cover 100 does not have to remain horizontal after rotation. Depending on factors such as the actual size, weight and shape of the cargo, the top cover 111 can remain tilted downward or tilted upward after rotation, as long as the cargo loaded on the top of the car cover 100 can be stably and reliably placed on the top cover 111.

[0082] As shown in FIG13 , in some embodiments, a mounting groove is provided on the top of the cover, and the shelf is detachably mounted in the mounting groove. By providing the mounting groove 1111 on the top of the top cover 111, on the one hand, since the shelf 160 is relatively long, the mounting groove 1111 can be used to assist in positioning the shelf 160 during installation and removal, making the installation of the shelf 160 convenient and reducing the difficulty of installing the shelf 160. On the other hand, the cooperation between the mounting groove 1111 and the shelf 160 improves the installation strength of the shelf 160, ensuring that the shelf 160 can provide sufficient support force when securing the goods, so that the goods are securely secured.

[0083] As shown in conjunction with FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 , in some embodiments, the shelf is a strip board with a U-shaped cross-section, and a plurality of through slots are evenly distributed on the strip board.

[0084] Setting the shelf 160 as a strip board with a U-shaped cross-section can prevent the shelf 160 from deforming in the radial direction and improve the supporting strength of the shelf 160. A plurality of through slots 161 are provided on the strip board to facilitate loading of goods that cannot be fixed by the shelf 160 on the top of the car cover 100. The goods can be fixed by ropes, steel wire ropes, etc. in combination with the through slots 161 to ensure reliable loading of the goods. Furthermore, for goods that are not convenient to load on the top of the car cover 100, the goods can also be hung on the shelf 160 by means of storage bags, hanging bags, and other tools, thereby further improving the loading capacity of the car cover 100.

[0085] As shown in FIG. 11 , in some embodiments, two shelves are provided on the cover body, the two shelves are symmetrically arranged, and the U-shaped opening direction of the shelf faces the other shelf.

[0086] By symmetrically arranging the shelves 200, on the one hand, goods can be fixed or hung on the shelves 200 on both sides, thereby increasing the cargo loading capacity and making the fixation of the goods more reliable. On the other hand, by symmetrically arranging the shelves 200 with the openings facing the other shelf 200, some goods to be loaded can be connected between the two shelves 200, making the loading process more convenient.

[0087] It is worth mentioning that by setting up a matching loading box, the symmetrically arranged shelves 160 can be regarded as tracks, and the loading box can be clamped between the two symmetrically arranged shelves 160, so as to further improve the loading capacity of the car cover 100 provided in this embodiment, that is, the goods to be loaded are loaded into the loading box, and then the top cover 111 of the car cover 100 is lowered, and the loading box is pushed onto the top cover 111 along the inclined surface of the car cover 100 and clamped and fixed, and then the top cover 111 is raised to the appropriate position. Not only is the loading process more convenient, but it can also avoid friction and collision between the goods and the top cover 111 of the car cover 100 during loading, reduce the wear of the top cover 111, and make the car cover 100 have a longer service life.

[0088] In one embodiment, the shelf 160 is bolted to the top of the vehicle compartment cover 100, with a gap provided between the shelf 160 and the top of the cover 110. When auxiliary tools such as ropes or wire ropes are needed to secure the cargo, the ropes can be passed through the gap between the shelf 160 and the cover 110 to secure the cargo, thereby increasing the flexibility of the shelf 160 when in use.

[0089] In some embodiments, lighting devices are provided on both the top cover 111 and the bracket 112. Providing a lighting device on the bracket 112 can make the compartment cover 100 eye-catching and remind other drivers during driving to prevent collisions due to unclear vision, following vehicles too close, etc. Providing a lighting device on the top cover 111, on the one hand, can load goods under conditions of poor vision, thereby improving the applicability of the compartment cover 100 provided in this embodiment; on the other hand, it can illuminate the loaded goods during driving to prevent oncoming vehicles from following the vehicle too closely and causing danger. It can also remind the driver while driving to prevent driving too fast and affecting the stability of the goods loaded on the compartment cover 100, thereby improving the safety of the compartment cover 100 provided in this embodiment.
