DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings for the embodiments of the present invention; and obviously, the embodiments described are merely some, rather than all, of the embodiments of the present invention. On the basis of the embodiments of the present invention, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 1-6, in the embodiments of the present invention, with regard to an embodiment of a vehicle trunk-mounted bicycle rack for fast disassembly, assembly, folding and storage: the vehicle trunk-mounted bicycle rack includes a supporting state and a storage state.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the vehicle trunk-mounted bicycle rack is in the supporting state, the vehicle trunk-mounted bicycle rack is supported on a trunk of a car.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the vehicle trunk-mounted bicycle rack is in the storage state, the vehicle trunk-mounted bicycle rack is removed from a trunk of a car and stored in the trunk of the car.

In a specific embodiment, the vehicle trunk-mounted bicycle rack includes: as shown in FIGS. 1-3, a horizontal bracket 1 which is used for holding a bicycle; and an adjustment bracket 2 which realizes the supporting state or the storage state of the vehicle trunk-mounted bicycle rack by adjusting the angle between the adjustment bracket 2 and the horizontal bracket 1.

In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the vehicle trunk-mounted bicycle rack further includes bicycle beam fixing pieces 3 which are used for fixing and carrying a bicycle beam. There are multiple, such as 4, 6, 8, and other even number of bicycle beam fixing pieces 3, and the bicycle beam fixing pieces 3 are arranged on the horizontal bracket 1. The bicycle beam fixing pieces 3 are fastened to the horizontal bracket 1 by bolts or the like, to facilitate disassembly or assembly of the bicycle beam fixing pieces 3.

In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the adjustment bracket 2 includes connectors 21 connected to the horizontal bracket 1, a first U-shaped support bracket 22 and a second U-shaped support bracket 23. As an example, the first U-shaped support bracket 22 and the second U-shaped support bracket 23 are formed by bending steel pipes into U-shaped structures as shown in FIG. 4, with strong load-bearing capacities and light weights.

The connectors 21 are fixed to the horizontal bracket 1 through first pin shafts 24. The first U-shaped support bracket 22 is connected to the connectors 21 through rotary shafts 25. The first U-shaped support bracket 22 can rotate around the rotary shafts 25.

The second U-shaped support bracket 23 is hinged with the first U-shaped support bracket 22.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the vehicle trunk-mounted bicycle rack is in the storage state, the first U-shaped support bracket 22 is rotated through the rotary shafts 25 to a state where the first U-shaped support bracket 22 is parallel to the horizontal bracket 1, while the second U-shaped support bracket 23 is parallel to the first U-shaped support bracket 22.

In a specific embodiment, an upper portion of the first U-shaped support bracket 22 is hinged with the connectors 21 through supporting connectors 26, and the first U-shaped supporting bracket 22 can be supported and fixed through the supporting connectors 26.

In a specific embodiment, the supporting connectors 26 are hinged with the first U-shaped support bracket 22 through second pin shafts 261, and the first U-shaped support bracket 22 can rotate around the second pin shafts 261.

The supporting connectors 26 are hinged with the connectors 21 through third pin shafts 262, and the supporting connectors 26 can rotate around the third pin shafts 262.

As shown in FIG. 5, the connector 21 is provided with bar-shaped mounting holes 263 for the third pin shaft 262, and the third pin shaft 262 can be slid or fixed in the bar-shaped mounting holes 263. For example, the other end of the third pin shaft 262 is provided with a thread, and the thread cooperates with a nut to fasten and fix the third pin shaft.

In a specific embodiment, two supporting legs of the second U-shaped support bracket 23 are hinged with the first U-shaped support bracket 22 through hinges 231.

As shown in FIG. 6, the hinge 231 is provided with second hinge holes 232 for hinge with the supporting legs of the second U-shaped support bracket 23, and first hinge holes 233 for hinge with the first U-shaped support bracket 22. The hinge 231 is hinged with the second U-shaped support bracket 23 through the second hinge holes 232 and a pin shaft, and the hinge 231 is hinged with the first U-shaped support bracket 22 through the first hinge holes 233 and a pin shaft.

The hinge 231 is provided with arc-shaped fixing holes 234. The arc-shaped fixing holes 234 are connected with the first U-shaped support bracket 22 through a pin shaft with a locking structure. The pin shaft with the locking structure can be mounted in any position of the arc-shaped fixing holes 234, and the hinge 231 can be fixed in a rotating or locking manner through the pin shaft with the locking structure.

In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the horizontal bracket 1 includes a horizontal portion 11 composed of two horizontal struts in a horizontal state and a U-shaped bent portion 12. The horizontal portion 11 and the U-shaped bent portion 12 form an integral structure. The horizontal portion is used to carry a bicycle, and the U-shaped bent portion 12 is used for supporting on a car body. As an example, after a steel pipe is bent into a U-shape, its lower portion is bent to form a U-shaped bent portion, which is beneficial for the horizontal bracket to be supported on an upper surface of a sedan trunk. At the same time, the angle between the horizontal portion and the bent portion is greater than 90 degrees, and preferably, the angle between the horizontal portion and the bent portion is greater than 120 degrees, which is beneficial for the bent portion to be supported on an inclined plane of a trunk of a vehicle of other car model, such as an SUV. The SUV trunk is different from the sedan trunk. The upper surface of a sedan trunk is a horizontal plane, while the trunk of an SUV or vehicles of other car models (such as a golf model) has an inclined plane, and the U-shaped bent portion is suitable for trunks of different car models.

In a specific embodiment, parts where the horizontal bracket 1 and the adjustment bracket 2 are in contact with a car are provided with flexible protective sleeves 4. The flexible protective sleeves 4 are made of flexible materials such as rubber sleeves or silicone sleeves. As shown in the FIGS. 1-3, bottom crossbars of the horizontal bracket and the second U-shaped support bracket are sheathed with flexible protective sleeves.

In a specific embodiment, both the horizontal bracket 1 and the adjustment bracket 2 are mounted on a car body by binding with webbing.

The above embodiments are merely used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skills in the art should understand that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified or some technical features therein may be equivalently replaced; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
