The unfolding operation is simple and the storage is convenient. There is no need to find extra space in the car to store the projection screen, rain shelter, sunshade, etc.

[0037] In this embodiment of the invention, the first side edge portion 11 includes a middle region and end regions located on both sides of the middle region along a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction; at least two first connectors 2 are respectively disposed at the two end regions, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the connection between the first connector 2 located at the end region and the vehicle ensures that the cargo cover body 1 is flat during use and that it does not easily shake. For example, two first connectors 2 can be provided on the first side edge 11, and the two first connectors 2 can be respectively provided on the two end regions of the first side edge 11. Optionally, the specific position and number of the first connectors 2 and the second connectors 72 are not limited here, and can be determined according to the actual situation.

[0038] Specifically, if Figure 5As shown, the first connector 2 can be connected to the second connector 72 on the vehicle. The rear tailgate panel 71 can be provided with at least two second connectors 72 for one-to-one connection with at least two first connectors 2. The at least two second connectors 72 can be located on the left and right sides of the lower part of the rear tailgate panel 71. When the rear tailgate of the vehicle is opened, one side of the cargo cover body 1 is connected to the second connector 72 via the first connector 2, and the other side of the cargo cover body is supported by the bracket 3, allowing the cargo cover body 1 to unfold outside the vehicle. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown.

[0039] The first connecting member 2 can be a fixing buckle, and the second connecting member 72 can be a hook that can be connected to the fixing buckle. Optionally, the first connecting member 2 and the second connecting member 72 can also be other connecting structures, which are not limited here and depend on the actual situation. Specifically, the hook can be a foldable hook that can be hidden on the rear door panel 71 or a fixed hook.

[0040] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, a handle 4 can be provided in the middle area of ​​the first side edge portion 11, which facilitates the unfolding and installation of the curtain.

[0041] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, a support member 5 can be provided at the connection between the first side edge portion 11 and the middle functional portion 12. The support member 5 is disposed opposite to the frame 31. When the curtain is in use, the support member 5 can cooperate with the bracket 3 to support the curtain body 1 to flatten. Specifically, the support member 5 can be made of rigid material, and the first connecting member 2 and the handle 4 can be integrally formed with the support member 5. The integrated structure of the support member 5, the first connecting member 2, and the handle 4 can cover the first side edge portion 11 of the curtain body 1.

[0042] In this embodiment of the invention, at least the middle functional part 12 of the above-mentioned curtain body 1 is made of silver-coated fabric. When the curtain is used as a projection screen, it can enhance the clarity of the projection. Optionally, the entire curtain body 12 can be made of silver-coated fabric, which facilitates the manufacture of the curtain.

[0043] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, both ends of the frame 31 can be equipped with spring pull ropes 33. When the spring pull ropes 33 are in the retracted state, the ends of the spring pull ropes 33 are located outside the frame 31, while the rest of the spring pull ropes 33, except for the ends, are located inside the frame 31. Specifically, the structure of the spring pull ropes 33 can be similar to that of a measuring tape. When the curtain is used as a rain shelter, sunshade, projection screen, etc., the spring pull ropes 33 can be pulled out and fixed to the ground using ground nails or other attached tools to secure the curtain. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown.

[0044] In this embodiment of the invention, the frame 31 may further have a receiving cavity for placing the cargo cover body 1. A roller mechanism may be provided in the receiving cavity. The side of the second edge portion 13 of the cargo cover body 1 away from the middle functional portion 12 may be connected to the roller mechanism. The cargo cover body 1 can be rolled into the receiving cavity of the frame 31 through the roller mechanism. When the cargo cover is not in use, the cargo cover body 1 can be rolled into the receiving cavity of the frame 31 through the roller mechanism, which is convenient for storing the cargo cover. When the cargo cover needs to be used, the cargo cover body 1 can be pulled out from the receiving cavity of the frame 31 through the handle 4 on the cargo cover body 1, and then the cargo cover can be assembled with the car.

[0045] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the connection between the first side edge portion 11 and the middle functional portion 12 may have a limiting member 6. The limiting member 6 is used to prevent the first side edge portion 11 from being retracted into the receiving cavity of the frame 31. When the curtain body 1 is retracted into the receiving cavity, the limiting member 6 allows the first side edge portion to protrude from the outside of the frame 31, making it convenient for the user to hold the handle 4 when the curtain body 1 needs to be pulled out. Specifically, the limiting member 6 can be located on both sides of the support member 5 for ease of manufacturing, and the limiting member 6 can also be integrally formed with the support member 5.

[0046] In this embodiment of the invention, the first end of the telescopic rod 32 can be connected to the frame 31 via a pivot, facilitating the fixed connection between the telescopic rod 32 and the frame 31. For example, two telescopic rods 32 can be installed on the frame 31, and the two telescopic rods 32 are respectively connected to both ends of the frame 31 via pivots, ensuring that the telescopic rods 32 support the frame 31 when they are in the extended state.

[0047] Alternatively, the telescopic rod can also be configured to be hidden in the frame. When the cover curtain is not used, the telescopic rod can be hidden inside the frame. When the cover curtain is used, the telescopic rod can be pulled out from both sides of the frame and then folded down by the attached pivot after being pulled to the root.

[0048] Specifically, the telescopic rod 32 may have a self-locking mechanism to ensure that the telescopic length is fixed when the telescopic rod 32 extends to the required length.

[0049] The present invention also provides an automobile, including any of the cargo cover provided in the above technical solutions, and further including a tailgate panel, the tailgate panel having at least two second connectors, the at least two second connectors being able to be connected in a one-to-one correspondence with at least two first connectors on the cargo cover.

[0050] Specifically, the second connector can be installed on the left and right sides of the lower part of the tailgate panel. When the rear of the car trunk is opened, the cargo cover can be mounted on the car, realizing multiple ways of using the cargo cover.

[0051] For example, open the car's rear door, attach the first connector on the cargo cover to the second connector on the rear door panel, and pull the cargo cover body horizontally to its maximum position. Unfold the telescopic rod on the cargo cover bracket and extend the telescopic rod to its maximum length. Insert the second end of the telescopic rod into the ground, pull out the spring rope in the frame, and fix it to the ground with ground stakes or other accompanying tools. This allows the cargo cover to be used as a rain or sun tarpaulin, which can be used for outdoor camping, providing shelter for users during outdoor picnics, rest, fishing, etc.

[0052] Alternatively, open the car's rear door, attach the first connector on the cargo cover to the second connector on the rear door panel, and pull the cargo cover vertically to its maximum position. Unfold the telescopic rod on the cargo cover bracket. With the rod in its retracted state, insert the second end of the rod into the ground, pull out the spring rope in the bracket, and secure it to the ground with ground stakes or other provided tools. This allows the cargo cover to be used as a projection screen. With a projection device and a power source in the car's trunk, you can activate an outdoor large-screen cinema mode.

[0053] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention also intends to include these modifications and variations.
