DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 1-4, a two-way foldable spare tire rack for a vehicle according to the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a fixed frame assembly for fixing a spare tire and a movable bar frame assembly arranged at one side of the fixed frame assembly. The fixed frame assembly includes a positioning joint pipe 7, a support pipe 3 arranged above the positioning joint pipe 7, a rotating member 6, and a rotation limiter 4. The positioning joint pipe 7 and the support pipe 3 form a rotatable structure through the rotating member 6, and the rotation limiter 4 is used for limiting the rotation between the support pipe 3 and the positioning joint pipe 7. The movable bar frame assembly includes an adjusting plate 8, a movable square pipe 9 and at least one locking member 10 which are rotationally connected, wherein the adjusting plate 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the positioning joint pipe 7, and the locking member 10 is used for locking the adjusting plate 8 and the movable square pipe 9 in the use state; wherein the rotating member 6 and the rotation limiting member 4 are bolts of the same size, and the positioning joint pipe 7 and the support pipe 3 are provided with a upper hole 1a and a penetrating lower hole 1b at the overlapping position that are perforative for two bolts to pass through, one bolt passes through the lower hole to be used as a rotating shaft to form a rotating structure, and the other bolt passes through the upper hole to achieve a limiting effect; the cross-sectional size of the support pipe 3 is smaller than that of the positioning joint pipe 7, and the cross-sectional size of the long support pipe 2 is the same as that of the positioning joint pipe 7, and the upper end of the positioning joint pipe 7 is also provided with a reinforcing plate 5 with a U-shaped cross-section, and the upper hole position 1a and the lower hole position 1b penetrate through the reinforcing plate 5 at the same time. The support pipe and the positioning joint pipe are in a rotating structure, so there is bound to be a difference in size, and the difference in size makes the rotation of the two pipes deviate to a certain extent. Therefore, the size of the support pipe is designed to be smaller than that of the positioning joint pipe, and the function of the reinforcing plate is configured, so that the offset of the rotation of the two pipes is eliminated and the rotation is more stable. The overlapping position of the long support pipe 2 and the reinforcing plate 5 is provided with a rotation limiting hole 1c for one bolt to pass through, and the rotation limiting hole is perpendicular to the upper hole or the lower hole, so that the mode that one bolt directly passes through the rotation limiting hole and one bolt passes through the upper hole is more stable than the mode that two bolts respectively pass through the upper and lower holes. The nut of one of the bolts can be welded on the side of the reinforcing frame 5. During the folding process of the fixed frame assembly, the screw of the redundant bolt can be directly screwed on the welded nut to avoid loss. To lock the rotation of the fixed frame assembly, the screw of the bolt only needs to be screwed into the rotation limiting hole, while the other end does not need the nut. There are two locking members 10. When in use, the two locking members 10 pass through the overlapping part of the adjusting plate 8 and the movable square pipe 9, and the connecting structure is more stable through the action of the two locking members. The movable square pipe 9 or/and the adjusting plate 8 is provided with a locking hole 1d, and the locking member 10 can be inserted into the locking hole 1d to lock the adjusting plate 8 and the movable square pipe 9 in a folded state, and the folded movable bar frame assembly can be kept stable by inserting the locking member into the locking hole. The movable square pipe 9 is provided with a plurality of adjusting holes 91 at equal intervals in the length direction, and the movable square pipe is connected with the drag bar of the automobile chassis, and the adjusting holes are used for adjusting the distance to ensure that the trunk can be opened normally.

[0028] The fixed frame assembly and the movable bar frame assembly of the vehicle spare tire rack can be folded, the movable bar frame assembly is convenient for packaging and delivery through folding, and the fixed frame assembly is convenient for the spare tire on the bracket plate to be transferred to contact with the ground surface and then disassembled, which is convenient and labor-saving.

[0029] When in use, in order to facilitate the understanding of the present disclosure, it will be described with reference to the attached drawings.

[0030] When shipping, the movable bar frame assembly can be folded, as shown in FIG. 4, and the locking member 10 can be selectively screwed into the locking hole 1d to ensure the stability of the folded structure.

[0031] For the use state, please refer to FIG. 1. The movable square pipe is connected to the drag bar of the chassis (the distance is adjusted through the adjusting hole to avoid interference with the trunk), and the movable bar frame assembly and the fixed frame assembly are not folded, wherein the movable bar assembly locks the adjusting plate and the movable square pipe in the use state through at least one locking member, and the locking of the fixed frame assembly is as follows:

[0032] 1. wo bolts are respectively inserted in the upper hole position and the lower hole position;

[0033] 2. one bolt penetrates the lower hole and one bolt penetrates the rotation limiting hole;

[0034] 3. one bolt penetrates the upper hole and one bolt penetrates the rotation limiting hole;

[0035] 4. a bolt is inserted in the lower hole position, the screw of a bolt is screwed in the rotation limiting hole position, and the nut is welded on the side of the reinforcing plate;

[0036] 5. a bolt passes through the upper hole, the screw of the bolt is screwed in the rotation limiting hole, and the nut is welded on the side of the reinforcing plate.

[0037] When the spare tire needs to be disassembled, the fixed frame assembly is folded, and the folded state is shown in FIG. 3. At this time, the spare tire is in contact with the ground and supported by the ground. Different ways of unlocking the fixed frame assembly are different, but for those skilled in the field, unlocking does not require any mental work, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0038] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, and it is not intended to limit the present disclosure. For those skilled in the art, the present disclosure can be modified and varied. Any modification, equivalent substitution, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall be included in the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
