Locking device for cross frame of roof frame

The present invention relates to a locking device for locking the cross frame of the roof on the vertical frame on both sides of the roof, and is provided on the locking device to abut against the abutting portion above the inner side of the vertical frame, and can be hooked a clip member on the outer side of the vertical frame, and the upper end of the clip member is pivotally connected to the lower end of the swing joint pivoted on the locking device, so that the hook position of the hook portion provided at the lower end of the clip member is A larger range of adjustments is available to enable locking on the longitudinal frame of most different width and height profiles.

There are two kinds of erections for the shelves installed on the roof for placing luggage or cargo. One is that the roof itself does not have a vertical frame. The basic arrangement of the carrier is first before and after the roof. At the side edges of both sides, through the locking device with the hook piece, the two ends of the horizontal frame are relatively tightly hooked on the side edges of the roof, and then reinstalled on the front and rear cross frames. Longitudinal frame, or frame, or trunk, as shown in the patents M502603, M400427, M394933, M285499, M283774, 435382, 408718, 326190, etc.; the other is that the sides of the roof are longitudinally The longitudinal frame may be closely attached to the roof of the vehicle, or the two ends of the vertical frame may be fixed to the front and rear of the roof to suspend the intermediate frame portion, and then locked by the locking device provided at both ends of the horizontal frame. Or clamped on the vertical frame, such as the announcement M498697, M475382, I433789, M392111, M390255, M267119, 509167, 501550, 447422, 433219 Buttoned patents are shown.

However, in any of the above-mentioned hook-and-snap type, the locking device includes a fixed support point or abutment point, and a movable hook or nip point through the support The point or the abutment point is placed on the roof or on the vertical frame, and then the screw of the hook or the nip point is tightly locked, so that the hook can be hooked on the edge of the roof or hooked Or clamped to the other side of the vertical frame, thereby achieving the purpose of the cross frame mounted on the roof.

Although the basic principle of the locking device is the same, the clip-type locking device is usually not used on the roof without the vertical frame, and the hook-type locking device is also difficult to be fixed on the vertical frame. At the same time, the two opposite sides of the clip-type locking device sandwich the abutting edge of the vertical frame and the abutting edge, and usually conform to the shape of the longitudinal frame section, so different brands or different models The longitudinal frames on the roof will have different cross-sectional shapes. Therefore, the design of the clamping parts of the locking devices on the cross-frames must also correspond to the individual designs, so that the cross-frame can be passed through the locking device. The lock is firmly fixed on the vertical frame, so the same locking device on the cross frame can only be used for locking on the corresponding vertical frame. Different vertical frames on different vehicles are usually not applicable.

At the same time, in order to fix the cross frame on the vertical frame, there will be no upward slippage phenomenon. In addition to the problem of the cover type clamping structure, the problem of the horizontal frame slipping off can be solved, and the locking device is also used. In addition to the fixed edge, the end of the clamping edge is provided with a hook portion that can hook the bottom of the vertical frame or the groove provided at the side thereof, so as to ensure that the horizontal frame does not slide upward. Distraction, but the length of the gripping edge is usually determined according to the width and height of the longitudinal section of the longitudinal frame, or the position of the groove, so that the hook of the end of the hook can be hooked at the appropriate position. Therefore, the width and height between the edge and the gripping edge of the gripping edge are adjusted to the position and range, usually It can only be used on a specific vertical frame. If it is a different vertical frame, at least the length of the clamping edge or its shape must be changed to meet the locking function of the vertical frame.

The reason is that in order to improve the above-mentioned clip-type locking devices at both ends of the known roof storage cross-frame, they are exclusively designed according to the vertical frame of the vehicle roof of different brands or different models, and few locks are suitable. The design of the locking device that is fixed to most different longitudinal frames; therefore, the present invention provides an inner end of the housing of the locking device, except that it has abutting portion that can abut against the inner side of the vertical frame. Further, the outer end of the housing is pivoted and pivoted, and the swinging joint is pivotally coupled to a clip member, thereby passing between the swing joint and the housing, and the clip member and the swing member. The swinging and bending function between the connecting pieces allows the hooks at the ends of the clipping elements to be hooked within a wide range of widths and heights, and is suitable for locking on most of the different longitudinal frames.

The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problem is that a fixing device is arranged at both ends of a horizontal frame, which can be slidably positioned and has a hook and hook clamping cooperation, and the locking device comprises an inner side of a casing. An abutting portion is disposed at the end, and an upper end of the housing is pivoted through an upper pivot portion to pivot the upper end of the swinging connecting member, and a lower slot is formed in the lower end of the swinging connecting member and a long slot is formed in the middle thereof The upper end of the clip member of the hook portion is pivotally connected through a central pivot portion, and the anti-rotation screw screwed into a long slot of the clip member and screwed to a nut is arranged in the housing. Tightening the nut can push the clip member against each other, so that the clip member can be hooked and a clamping action is formed between the clip and the abutting portion.

In the above solution, the housing of the upper pivot portion is formed as a long sliding hole that can longitudinally slide the swinging joint.

Therefore, through the above-mentioned new locking device, in addition to being able to abut against the vertical frame The abutting portion on the side edge can further obtain a larger adjustment range by connecting the swinging connecting member and the clamping member of the pivoting connection to the hooking hook width and height position of the hooking portion of the clamping member. In turn, the fastening device can be adapted for use on more different longitudinal frames.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the present invention is a locking device 2 mounted on the outer end of a cross frame 1 so as to be fixed to the longitudinal frame 3 of the roof through the locking device 2, so that the transverse frame 1 is installed horizontally. It is disposed on the roof of the vehicle, wherein the locking device 2 includes a sliding portion 211 at an upper end of the casing 21, and a corresponding recess 11 at the end of the transverse frame 1 is provided with a recess 11 for the sliding portion 211 to slide. And a screw 4 embedded on the lower end of the sliding portion 211 is screwed down on the screw 4 through a fastening nut 5, and then along the housing 21 (ie, the entire locking device 2) After the crossbar 1 is moved to a predetermined position, the positioning can be locked, and the locking device 2 and the crossbar 1 are fixed together.

In addition, the structure of the locking device 2 is as shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, and includes the shell. An abutting portion 212 is disposed below the inner end of the body 21, and a forward anti-rotation screw 22 is disposed in the housing 21, and an upper pivot portion 201 is disposed above the outer end of the housing 21, The upper end of a swinging and connecting member 23 is pivoted thereon, and a lower pivotal portion 202 is disposed at a lower end of the swinging and connecting member 23, and an upper end of a clipping member 24 is pivotally connected thereto. A long slot 241 is formed in the middle of the clip member 24 for the anti-rotation screw 22 to pass through, and is screwed together with a nut 25 after the anti-rotation screw 22 passes through, while at the same time making the clip member 24 A buckle portion 242 is provided at the lower end.

Next, a side cover 26 is disposed at the outer end of the casing 21, and the swing joint member 23, the nut 25, and the clip member 24 corresponding to the nut 25 are hidden in the casing 21 and A lock head 27 is disposed between the side covers 26 and at the outer end of the side cover 26, and the inner end of the lock head 27 has a lock piece 271 which can be swively locked, so that the lock piece 271 can be on the side cover 26. After being covered on the casing 21, the rotary lock is hooked on the inner side of the buckle piece 213 which is folded at the corresponding end of the outer casing 21, so that the side cover 26 cannot be retracted from the casing 21, thereby achieving the function of anti-theft.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the abutting portion 212 of the inner end of the casing 21 of the locking device 2 is first abutted against the inner side of the vertical frame 3 to form a supporting point, and the clamping member 24 is formed. Then, it is located on the outer side of the vertical frame 3, and the hook portion 242 at the lower end of the clip member 24 is hooked into the groove 31 outside the longitudinal frame 3, and then the nut 25 is tightened to be inwardly biased toward the clip member 24. When the buckle hook portion 242 is tightly fastened to form a point on the groove 31, the upper end of the clip member 24 is also inverted by the swing joint member 23 to the limit, and another reverse direction is formed. The fulcrum, and further under the pressing of the nut 25, causes the longitudinal frame 3 to be tightly clamped between the abutting portion 212 and the clip member 24, and also the hook portion 242 is hooked into the groove 31. Therefore, the cross frame 1 is tightly locked to the vertical frame 3 through the locking device 2, so that the cross frame 1 does not move back and forth and slide upward, thereby achieving the purpose of the cross frame 1 being mounted on the roof.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the arrangement of the slotted hole 241 through the middle of the clip member 24 is provided. In addition, the connection with the swinging joint 23 allows the clip member 24 to be moved and oscillated back and forth and up and down, so that the position of the hook of the lower end hook portion 242 can be determined according to different vertical frames. The hook width and height can be adjusted arbitrarily to adjust the hook and the clamping, so that the locking device 2 can be applied to the vertical frame 3 of most different cross-section shapes.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the housing 21 of the swinging and connecting member 23 and the housing 21 is fixed as a long sliding hole 214, so that the upper pivot portion 201 can be along the long sliding hole. 214 moves, that is, the swinging joint 23 and the clip member 24 are longitudinally moved along the housing 21, so that the clip member 24 can be clipped in a wider range of positions, enabling application in more different longitudinal directions. The frame 3 is locked for use.
