The disclosure relates to a field of pickup truck accessories, in particular to a rolling cover of a pickup truck bed.
A rolling cover is a common part on a pickup truck bed. A cover of a pickup truck is disclosed in Patent publication CN111645501A, which adopts several cover plates connected by a rotating shaft. Because the cover plates are connected by the rotating shaft and the cover plates can't be folded and rolled up, the cover with this structure can only be furled into a plate shape when it is rolled up, but can't be completely furled into a drum shape.
In view of above problems, the present disclosure provides a rolling cover of a pickup truck bed.
Technical schemes adopted in the disclosure are as follows.
A rolling cover of a pickup truck bed includes two sidebar guide rods and a first bar. Two ends of the first bar are respectively matched with the two sidebar guide rods, and the two sidebar guide rods are in parallel. The rolling cover of the pickup truck bed also includes a soft rolling tarpaulin, one end of which is matched with the first bar and the other end of which is provided with a second bar, and two ends of the second bar are detachably matched with the two sidebar guide rods.
In the rolling cover of the pickup truck bed, the soft rolling tarpaulin is adopted, and the soft rolling tarpaulin can be fully furled into a tubular shape. When in use, the soft rolling tarpaulin can be fully furled together as long as the two ends of the second bar are disengaged from the sidebar guide rods on both sides. The soft rolling tarpaulin can be a tarpaulin such as a PVC plastic-coated cloth, a nylon tarpaulin and other tarpaulins, which has waterproof property and is easy to roll and furl.
Specifically, the rolling cover of the pickup truck bed of this disclosure also includes a first inserting block inserted and fixed to the sidebar guide rod, and the first bar is inserted and matched with the first inserting block, the first bar and the two sidebar guide rods are in a same plane, and in order to improve installation stability of the first bar, the first bar is perpendicular to the two sidebar guide rods.
Optionally, an upper surface of the sidebar guide rod is provided with scales, which facilitate accurate positioning and adjusting.
Optionally, the rolling cover of the pickup truck bed of the disclosure further includes a hook and loop fastener, and two parts of the hook and loop fastener are respectively disposed on the sidebar guide rods and the soft rolling tarpaulin. Specifically, the hook and loop fastener include a female part and a male part which can be bonded to each other. A surface of one of two parts is with soft fiber, and a surface of the other of them is with elastic fiber with barbs. The female and male parts are interlocked with each other, and when subjected to a certain lateral force, elastic barbs are straightened, loosened from pile loops and opened, and then restored to an original hook shape. And in this way, it can be repeatedly opened and closed.
The female and male parts of the hook and loop fastener which can be bonded to each other are arranged on the sidebar guide rods and the soft rolling tarpaulin to bond the soft rolling tarpaulin to the sidebar guide rods.
