Description

The utility model relates to the automotive industry, namely, to devices for mounting a spare wheel, which is a standard equipment of the car, as well as additional equipment (canisters, trench tools, ladders, fire hoses, etc.) and can be used when operating a vehicle.

The unification of attachment devices for attachments is difficult due to differences in the dimensions of the equipment and in the design of vehicles.

It is known (patent No. 48895, U1, published 10.11.2005, B60R 11/06) a device for fastening driver tools. The device provides ease of installation and centering of the toolbar above the spare wheel niche, as well as reliable and easily accessible placement of driver tools on it, preventing both loss of tools and the occurrence of unwanted noise during movement due to body vibrations and, as a result, unauthorized movement of tools along the trunk.

The disadvantages of the known device include:

- the limited scope of the device due to its execution in the form of a panel corresponding to the configuration of the spare wheel niche, which for different models of cars has different shapes and sizes;

- the inability to accommodate large equipment in the device (10-20-liter fuel canister, rack jack, shovel).

It is known (patent No. 49500, U1, published November 27, 2005, B60R 27/00, EV05/00) a device for mounting a spare wheel on a car frame, comprising a housing and a fixing element located therein with holes for the locking element located in their lower part while the housing is made in the form of a pipe attached to the base with mounting holes, the fixing element is in the form of a pipe moving along the axis of the housing of the pipe or the rod pressing the wheel, with the possibility of combining the holes for the locking element.

The known device allows you to securely fix the spare wheel on the frame of the car, excluding unauthorized access to it, however, it eliminates the possibility of a) changing the position (adjustment) of the spare wheel relative to the longitudinal and transverse planes of the car and b) using the device for a wheel other than the type equipment (fuel canister, rack jack, shovel, etc.).

The closest in the set of essential features for a utility model is the known (US 3977713, published 08/31/1976, B60R 9/06) device for mounting a spare wheel and tire on a vehicle with a frame and a front bumper, in the form of an elastic bracket for a spare wheel, mounted on the front of the truck, comprising a rigid frame structure, a support assembly, a spring mechanism biasing the support assembly forward relative to the tubular body; and a holding mechanism restricting the translational movement of the support node relative to the tubular body.

For the object “device for mounting equipment on a vehicle”, the prototype is a rigid frame bracket structure containing a lower transverse element, a lower front horizontal element and a vertical element extending forward and upward from the bumper and which is a support for the tubular body.

The disadvantages of the known device for mounting a spare wheel that impede the achievement of the following technical result, should include:

- limited scope - the device is intended for mounting only a spare wheel;

- lack of access to the front of the car in the area of the radiator without dismantling the device, because its elements (lower frontal element and vertical element) are attached to the car and to each other using welding and bolted joints;

- lack of adjustment of the position of the spare wheel in the transverse plane of the car.

The problem to which the claimed utility model is directed is to create a reliable universal device for mounting spare and additional equipment on a vehicle.

The technical result consists in increasing the variability of the use of the device, its operational qualities (the ability to adjust, access to the rear doors of the car), expanding the range of adjustment of the position of the spare wheel on the vehicle, as well as reducing the cost of a set of equipment to equip the car.

The specified technical result is achieved due to the fact that the device for mounting equipment on the vehicle (hereinafter - the gate), made in the form of a rigid frame structure and containing a lower transverse element designed to fix the device on the vehicle, and a vertical supporting element, further comprises a locking and rotary mechanisms, and the lower transverse element is made in the form of a beam fixed to a bumper or frame, or to the vehicle body, to which the platform is attached, being a vertical supporting element for a mounted additional equipment or spare wheel, a locking mechanism and a sleeve of a rotary mechanism, while a lot of through holes are made on the front surface of the platform, and the device is rotated around the axis of the rotary mechanism fixed on a bumper or frame or vehicle body, mounted on bearings inside the sleeve of the rotary mechanism.

The wicket beam is a power element of the design, ensuring compliance with the permissible loads on the wicket in the closed position on a stationary car, as well as when the car is moving. The dimensions of the beam should ensure the location of the platform, the locking mechanism or the base of the locking mechanism and the slewing mechanism sleeve, taking into account the dimensions of the car, as well as placing, if necessary, an additional (second) gate next to it on the bumper or frame, or on the car body.

The maximum length of the wicket beam is determined by the diameters of two spare wheels (max 840 mm) with a gap (~ 10 mm) between them. It is possible to manufacture a beam from a metal pipe or a profile of round or rectangular cross-section, channel, corner, brand, I-beam, etc.

The platform attached to the beam is the basis of the gate and is usually made in the form of a sheet metal plate welded to the supports. The platform supports attached (for example, by welding) to the beam are preferably made of circular pipes. In special cases of the device’s execution, it is possible to manufacture the platform in the form of rectangular or square pipes, Tauri, I-beams, channels, corners interconnected. The design of the platform and its supports do not depend on the type of vehicle and the installation location (frame, body, bumper) on it devices.

On the wicket mounted on the car, the working plane of the platform should be perpendicular to the road (or roadway). The dimensions of the platform, the number and location of installation through holes made on its front surface are determined by the dimensions and dimensions of the equipment connected or attached to the platform in its various variations, as well as the need for the following adjustment of the position of this equipment on the car.

Mounting holes of a round, oval, rectangular or other shape for installation in them using bolt or other detachable connections of removable brackets (cantilever support parts) used for fastening (hanging) on a gate of a spare wheel and / or additional equipment, are usually located in several parallel rows . A ladder, antenna, tool box, cable or other additional equipment can be connected directly to the gate platform (without removable brackets), usually using bolted connections.

Thus, the proposed design of the platform allows using the same gate for hanging not only a spare wheel, but also any additional equipment, and also allows the ability to adjust the position of this equipment on the car in the transverse plane of the car, which excludes the connection of additional rear lights in some of its configurations .

The main structural elements of the swivel mechanism of the gate are a sleeve (usually welded) to the end of the beam and an axis mounted inside it on the bearings, which is attached to the bumper, body or frame of the car by means of one-piece (welding) or detachable (bolted) joints, or additional brackets . The rotation of the gate (the beam gates) around the axis of the rotary mechanism provides free and easy access to the rear doors of the car.

The gate locking mechanism fixes the gate on the bumper, body or frame of the car, preventing its spontaneous opening, in the closed position, in which the platform is stationary and parallel (about +/- 10 °) to the transverse plane of the car. In the traditional version, the locking mechanism comprises a base with two brackets, between which there is a handle and a hook, which enters the groove attached to the bumper or the body or the vehicle frame of the eye when the handle is installed parallel to the plane of the base. At the same time, the base of the locking mechanism is attached to the wicket beam using detachable (bolted) or integral (welding) joints.

The dimensions of the locking mechanism should ensure the convenience of capturing it by hand and be as compact as possible, and the kinematics of the lock should create and overcome the force when opening it, for which elastic elements (springs, rubber stops, etc.) can be used in the design of the locking mechanism. Details of the locking mechanism are made, as a rule, of metal, although it is possible to make them from plastic or rubber.

The locking mechanism is installed on the wicket beam in the region of the middle third of the rear bumper or the middle third of the rear of the body or frame, taking into account the location of the license plate, reflectors, lights, and the footrest of the structure on these parts of the car. Some parts of the locking mechanism (eye, rubber chipper) can be mounted on the bumper, body or frame of the car.

The design of the gate does not depend on the place of its fastening (on the bumper, bodywork or car frame). The gate can be right when the axis of the swivel mechanism is mounted on the right side of the car (meaning the right side (end) of the bumper or body, or frame), and left if the axis of the swivel mechanism is attached to the left side of the car. One or two wickets can be installed on a car, depending on the number of spare wheels and / or additional equipment that is planned to be placed on the wicket (s). The declared design of the gate is suitable for any car, only the location of the locking device on the beam of the gate and the way of fixing the gate can differ: the gate can be installed directly on the bumper or frame, or the body with the help of an additional bracket, in which a seat for the axis of the rotary mechanism is provided. That is, when buying a gate for his vehicle, the motorist should be guided by the presence of a seat under the axis of the rotary mechanism or the possibility of its manufacture.

On the same gate, a spare wheel, canister (s), accessory box (s), ladder, trench tool (shovel, ax, jacks), antenna, headlight bracket, sand tracks (plates to overcome) can be installed in different configurations off-road) and other equipment.

To install this or that equipment on the gate, removable brackets of various designs are used, which are attached to the gate platform using detachable connections (bolted). Thus, the consumer has the opportunity to choose the option of installing additional equipment at any time after the purchase of the gate, only by purchasing an appropriate removable bracket.

The spare wheel is attached to the platform using the spare wheel bracket, which has on one side mounting elements to the platform and, on the other hand, for the dimensions of the mounting holes of the rim.

Spare wheel brackets for different cars differ only in the size of the studs and their location on the surface of the supporting platform in accordance with the size and location of the standard mounting holes in the wheel disks of specific car models. The minimum number of studs attached to the supporting platform by welding or using detachable joints is from two, but it is preferable by the number of mounting holes in the spare wheel disk.

Thus, the claimed design of the gate when used together with the spare wheel bracket allows you to adjust the position of the spare wheel on the gate in the transverse (horizontally and vertically across the width of the car) and longitudinal (on the outreach) planes of the car in a wider range than allows autonomous use of each separately (a platform with a different spare wheel bracket design or a spare wheel bracket with a different platform design). The position of the spare wheel on the platform is selected by the user based on his needs for placing on the car (for example, a wicket installed next to it) another spare wheel or additional equipment, taking into account the visibility of the rear lights of the car. In the case of using wickets with one spare wheel, it can be positioned closer to the central longitudinal axis of the car so as not to block the visibility of the rear lights. If you need to install two spare wheels, they can be positioned closer to the edges of the car and only in this case use additional lights.

As evidence of the feasibility of implementing a utility model with the implementation of the above technical result, a description is given below of specific, but not the only possible constructions of the device for mounting equipment on the transport and the spare wheel bracket corresponding to the claimed formula.

A device for mounting equipment on a vehicle (Fig. 1, 2) consists of a beam 1, platform 2 on supports, locking 3 and turning 4 mechanisms.

The platform 1 on the supports, the base 5 of the locking mechanism 3 and the sleeve 6 of the rotary mechanism 4 are welded to the beam 1. The permissible load on the gate in the closed position on a stationary car is up to 200 kg, and when the car moves - up to 100 kg.

The platform 2 is a plate of sheet metal welded to supports 7 made of pipes of circular cross section and welded to the gate beam 1. This frame structure is made in such a way that on the wicket mounted on the car, its working surface is perpendicular to the road (or roadbed). Five horizontal rows of holes with a distance of 50 mm between adjacent rows are made on the plate of platform 2, and four holes with a diameter of 11 mm in increments of 100 mm are made in each row. This configuration of the holes and rows of them allows the placement of removable brackets on the platform in the range of 300 mm with a step of 100 mm horizontally and in the range of 200 mm with a step of 50 mm vertically, which allows you to adjust the position of the equipment placed on the gate in the transverse plane of the car in the indicated ranges.

At the end of the wicket beam 1, a sleeve 6 of the rotary mechanism 4 is welded, inside of which on the bearings there is an axis 8, which is attached to the bumper 9 of the car using detachable joints (see Fig. 3). The axis 8 passes through the mounting hole in the bumper 9, in the upper part it is supported by its protrusion 10 on the plane of the bumper 9 and is attached to it using bolts 11. In its lower part, the axis 8 is centered by means of the cone 12 and nut 13 which are mounted on the axis 8 and 13 fixed by the holes in the bumper 9, respectively. The bracket 14 of the rotary mechanism performs the function of additional fastening of the upper end of the axis to ensure the strength characteristics of the gate.

Thus, by means of the sleeve 6 and the axis 8 of the rotary mechanism, the gate beam 1 is connected to the place of attachment of the gate to the vehicle, providing rotation of the gate relative to the specified attachment point (around axis 8 of the rotary mechanism) and thereby opening access to the rear doors of the car.

The locking mechanism 3 of the gate (Fig. 4) consists of brackets 15 and 15 ', which are fixed on its base 5. The base 5 of the locking mechanism is attached to the beam 1 of the gate by welding. The handle 16, the arcs 17, 17 'and the hook 18 are connected to each other using screws, nuts and washers. The eye 19 and the rubber bump 20 of the locking mechanism are mounted on the bumper of the car using bolted connections. The brackets 14 and 15 and the handle 16 contain holes that are aligned in the closed position of the gate and can be used to install the lock in order to prevent unauthorized opening of the gate.

The locking mechanism operates as follows.

When closing the gate, the handle 16 should be located perpendicular to the plane of the base 5 of the locking mechanism 3. After moving the gate to the closed position, the handle 16 should be turned away from hook 18, the resistance of the rubber bump 20 is overcome, hook 18 passes its own, as close as possible to the base 5 position, enters the groove of the eye 19 and begins to move away from the base 5. When the handle 16 is installed parallel to the plane of the base 5, the rubber bump 20 remains in a pressed state, and the force created by it extends to the hook 18 in the direction from the plane of the base 5, blocking the spontaneous opening of the gate, including when the car is moving. In order to unlock the locking device 3 and open the gate, it is necessary, overcoming the resistance of the rubber bump 20, to turn the handle 16 towards the hook 18, the hook 18 will come out of the groove of the eye 19, after which the gate can be opened by turning the rotation mechanism around axis 8.

Directly to the wicket platform with the help of bolted connections, a ladder (Fig. 16) and an instrument container (Fig. 13) can be fixed.

Using removable brackets, the following can be attached to the wicket platform: canister (Fig. 14), mast for the headlight (Fig. 15) and jack (Fig. 17).
