The initial state of the fifth block is an inclined state. When it is necessary to rotate the first end of the third block 405 with the first end of the second block 404 as the first end, When the moving center rotates, the fifth block 604 is rotated first so that the fifth block 604 no longer limits the fourth rod 603, so that the fourth rod 603 moves in the first hole 601. The fourth rod drives the third rod 602 to move while the third block 405 rotates until the third block 405 rotates to be perpendicular to the second block 404. At this time, the third rod 602 moves to the middle of the third block 405 in the first hole 601, and then the fifth block 604 is rotated to the initial position so that the inclined state of the fifth block 604 stops and limits the fourth rod 603, thereby improving the connection strength between the second block 404 and the third block 405. The rotation connection between the second block and the third block is provided with a damper, or the rotation connection between the second block and the third block is provided with a torsion spring.
[0038] As shown in FIG8 , a fourth embodiment of the first assembly 40 is shown, wherein the first assembly 40 includes a fifth rod 408, a first end of the fifth rod 408 being threadedly connected, welded, or riveted to the first plate 50, a second end of the fifth rod 408 being provided with a sixth rod 409, a first end of the sixth rod 409 being bolted to the second end of the fifth rod 408, and a first end of the sixth rod 409 being rotatably connected to the second end of the fifth rod 408, the sixth rod 409 being a hollow rod, a second end of the sixth rod 409 being connected to a seventh rod 410, and the seventh rod 410 A "C"-shaped groove is slidably arranged inside the sixth rod 409, and the second end of the seventh rod 410 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the panel 30. The bottom of the panel 30 is located at the connection between itself and the second end of the seventh rod 410 and is provided with a connecting plate 301. During use, when the panel 30 needs to be pivoted and folded, as the panel 30 pivots, the seventh rod 410 is driven to slide inside the sixth rod 409 until the panel 30 rotates to a state perpendicular to the pickup truck compartment or at an acute angle to the pickup truck compartment, thereby improving the stability of the panel 30 after pivoting.

The connecting base 702 is bolted to the seventh rod 410. When in use, the seventh rod 410 drives the connecting base 702 to move synchronously when moving until the seventh rod 410 moves to the final position. Then, by rotating the cam portion of the sixth block 701, the connecting base 702 is squeezed toward the sixth block 701 under the action of the cam, thereby squeezing the sixth rod 409, increasing the friction between the sixth rod 409 and the seventh rod 410, thereby achieving a stopping effect on the seventh rod 410 and improving the connection strength between the sixth rod 409 and the seventh rod 410.

In use, when the seventh rod 410 needs to move in the sixth rod 409, the fixing bolt 704 is first rotated to disengage the fixing bolt 704 from one of the second holes 703, and then the seventh rod 410 is moved in the sixth rod 409 until the seventh rod 410 moves to the desired position driven by the panel 30, and then the fixing bolt 704 is rotated to make the fixing bolt 704 enter one of the second holes 703, thereby completing the retaining effect of the seventh rod 410 in the sixth rod 409, thereby improving the connection strength between the sixth rod 409 and the seventh rod 410.
[0041] As shown in FIG11 , in the third embodiment of the second portion 70 , the sixth rod 409 and the seventh rod 410 are hydraulically connected, that is, the sixth rod 409 and the seventh rod 410 are combined into a hydraulic rod. By combining the sixth rod 409 and the seventh rod 410 into a hydraulic rod, the bearing capacity of the sixth rod 409 and the seventh rod 410 is improved, the seventh rod 410 is less likely to retreat under the action of an external force, and the connection strength between the sixth rod 409 and the seventh rod 410 is improved.
[0042] In this embodiment, when in use, the panel 30 is supported by the first plate 50 and the first component 40, so that the panel 30 can be stably set perpendicular or at an acute angle to the vehicle body after being rotated toward the driving side as a whole, so that the panel 30 can be pivoted and folded as a whole, thereby improving the overall utilization rate of the pickup truck body.
[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. All technical solutions based on the concept of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, certain improvements and modifications that do not depart from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
