Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of outdoor equipment, and particularly to a hard roof tent. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous growth of the number of private cars, self-driving tours have become a new emerging tourism mode. In order to meet the convenience of people's self-driving trips, the development of products attached to vehicles for self-driving trips is in full swing, and outdoor equipment such as car tents has been developed in this environment.

[0003] A roof tent is a tent that can be set up on the roof of a vehicle. Since it is not close to the ground like other tents when in use, it is not easily invaded by ground air and moisture, and is more comfortable to use, thus being favored by people. The roof tent can be directly folded on the roof of the vehicle when not in use, which is convenient for transportation.

[0004] Roof tents come in various forms. US Patent US10808416B2 discloses a roof tent, which includes: a first cover part, a second cover part, a hinge connection part, a waterproof part, and a tent part. The hinge connection part rotatably connects the first cover part and the second cover part. Both ends of the waterproof part are fixed to the first cover part and the second cover part. The tent part is connected to the first cover part and the second cover part. One of the first cover part and the second cover part is arranged to be fixedly installed on the roof of the vehicle. This roof tent has a folding mode, in which the first cover part and the second cover part are arranged to face each other, and the tent part is accommodated in the space between the first cover part and the second cover part. The roof tent also has an unfolded mode, in which the tent is unfolded by rotating one of the first cover part and the second cover part relative to the other around the hinge connection part. The waterproof part is detachably fastened to the edges of the first cover part and the second cover part in the folding mode to enclose the space between the first cover part and the second cover part.

[0005] Upon careful analysis of the above roof tent, it is found that the waterproof part actually includes: a first waterproof member, including a first fastening rod and a waterproof cloth extending from the first fastening rod; and a second waterproof member, including a second fastening rod and a waterproof cloth extending from the second fastening rod; wherein the first waterproof member and the second waterproof member are detachably fastened to each other along a fastening line formed in each waterproof cloth, and wherein the first waterproof member and the second waterproof member are fastened to each other by a fastening line (such as a zipper), so that tension is applied to each of the first and second waterproof cloths, thereby preventing external moisture from penetrating into the tent part.

[0006] Therefore, the above roof tent has some deficiencies:

[0007] 1. The waterproof part is composed of a first waterproof member and a second waterproof member fastened to each other by a fastening line. That is, the waterproof part consists of two separate members, which results in a large number of components, inconvenient processing and assembly of the components, and high costs.

[0008] 2. The first waterproof member includes a first fastening rod and a waterproof cloth extending from the first fastening rod; the second waterproof member includes a second fastening rod and a waterproof cloth extending from the second fastening rod; each waterproof cloth also has a fastening line (zipper); the structures of the first waterproof member and the second waterproof member are complex, further making processing inconvenient and costly.

[0009] 3. The first waterproof member and the second waterproof member are connected by a fastening line (zipper), and there is an interaction between the two members, resulting in poor firmness.

[0010] 4. Each waterproof cloth also has a fastening line (zipper), and the fastening line is formed on the waterproof cloth, which is costly, prone to failure during use, affecting the waterproof effect, and resulting in high maintenance costs.

[0011] In view of this, the inventor studied the tent structure and redesigned a hardtop roof tent of the present invention. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a hardtop roof tent to reduce the number of components, simplify the structure, and reduce costs.

In the tent unfolding mode, the tightening parts at both ends of the waterproof cloth are loosened so that both ends of the waterproof cloth are in a separated state from the first cover part and the second cover part, while in the tent folding mode, the tightening parts at both ends of the waterproof cloth are tightened and fastened to the first cover part and the second cover part.

[0016] One end of the folding and fixing part is in a separated state from one of the first cover part and the second cover part in the tent unfolding mode, and the other end of the folding and fixing part is in a fixed state with the other of the first cover part and the second cover part in the tent unfolding mode. Among them, the fixed state is direct fixation or detachable fixation. Specifically, the end of the folding and fixing part that is in a separated state from the first cover part or the second cover part in the tent unfolding mode has an adjustable tightening part. In the tent unfolding mode, the tightening part is in a separated state from the first cover part or the second cover part, while in the tent folding mode, the tightening part is fastened to the first cover part or the second cover part. Further, the folding and fixing part is made of a waterproof cloth. One end of the waterproof cloth has a fastening rod, and the fastening rod cooperates with the corresponding slot. The fastening rod is detachably fastened and installed on one of the first cover part and the second cover part. The other end of the waterproof cloth has a tightening part. The tightening part includes threading holes and drawstrings. The drawstrings pass through the threading holes. The tightness of the tightening part is adjusted by tightening or loosening the drawstrings. In the tent unfolding mode, the tightening part of the waterproof cloth is loosened so that the waterproof cloth is in a separated state from the first cover part or the second cover part, while in the tent folding mode, the tightening part of the waterproof cloth is tightened and fastened to the first cover part or the second cover part.

[0017] After adopting the above scheme, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] First, the folding and fixing part is an integral whole, rather than two separate components of the first waterproof member and the second waterproof member in the prior art. There are fewer components, the structure is simplified, processing and assembly are more convenient, and the cost is reduced;

[0019] Second, the folding and fixing part is an integral whole, and there is no need to add fastening lines (zippers), the structure is further simplified, and the structure is more firm;

[0020] III. The folding and fixing part does not require a fastening line (zipper), but is directly fastened to the first cover part and / or the second cover part. During use, the occurrence of malfunctions due to the fastening line (zipper) is avoided, the waterproof effect is better, and the maintenance cost is reduced.

[0041] One of the first cover part 1 and the second cover part 2 is configured to be fixedly installed on the roof of a vehicle. In the figure, the first cover part 1 is fixedly installed on the roof of the vehicle. The first cover part 1 and the second cover part 2 are arranged to face each other in the tent folding mode, as Figures 4 to 10 shown.

[0042] At least one end of the folding and fixing part 4 is separated from one of the first cover part 1 and the second cover part 2 in the tent unfolding mode, so that the first cover part 1 and the second cover part 2 of the roof tent are not restricted by the folding and fixing part 4 and can rotate relative to each other to unfold. And both ends of the folding and fixing part 4 are fixed to the first cover part 1 and the second cover part 2 in the tent folding mode, so that the first cover part 1 and the second cover part 2 are restricted by the folding and fixing part 4 to achieve fixation during folding.

[0043] In the illustrated embodiment herein, one end of the folding and fixing part 4 is in a separated state from the first cover part 1 in the tent unfolding mode, and the other end of the folding and fixing part 4 is in a fixed state with the second cover part 2 in the tent unfolding mode. The fixed state can be direct fixation, or as shown, it is detachably fixed by the cooperation of a fastening rod 41 and a slot 21, and can also be fixed by other means such as riveting or snap fastening.

[0044] Furthermore, one end of the folding and fixing part 4 shown herein, which is in a separated state from the first cover part 1 in the tent unfolding mode, has an adjustable tension part 42. In the tent unfolding mode, the tension part 42 is in a separated state from the first cover part 1, while in the tent folding mode, the tension part 42 is fastened to the first cover part 1 to fix the first cover part 1 and the second cover part 2 during folding.

[0045] Furthermore, the folding and fixing part 4 is made of a waterproof cloth. One end of the waterproof cloth has a fastening rod 41, and the fastening rod 41 cooperates with the corresponding slot 21. The fastening rod 41 is detachably and firmly installed on the second cover part 2.
