Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tent technology, and more particularly to a rooftop tent and a vehicle using the same. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, families have an increasing desire for outdoor excursions. In this context, rooftop tents, due to their high safety and convenience, are often referred to as "homes on the roof," leading to a growing demand for them for outdoor travel.

[0003] In the prior art, such as the patent with publication number CN111622582A, an inflatable car roof tent is disclosed. When in use, the tent is placed on the roof of the vehicle. After being inflated, the interior forms a space for people to rest. When the tent is not in use, it is deflated and compressed together and placed inside the vehicle.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned inflatable rooftop tents have some drawbacks: 1. The space is relatively small. Due to the limited width of the roof, the tent area is not easy to expand, and it cannot meet the accommodation needs of multiple people when traveling together; 2. The inflatable rooftop tents are troublesome to operate when setting up or taking down. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention proposes a rooftop tent and a vehicle using the same, in order to solve the problem of poor expandability of existing rooftop tents.

[0033] Furthermore, preferably, the side tent also includes a pole, which is rotatably connected to the bottom of one of the support poles away from the hinge axis. The pole can be closed or opened relative to the support pole, and the pole is a telescopic structure.

[0034] Preferably, the storage board is provided with multiple straps at intervals along its length, the straps being used to bind and fix the multiple support rods and the second tarpaulin to the storage board after they are closed together.

[0035] On the other hand, the present invention also discloses a vehicle, including a vehicle body and the aforementioned roof tent, wherein the roof tent is fixedly installed on the top of the vehicle body, and the expansion tent is located on one side of the width direction of the vehicle body.

[0036] The present invention has the following advantages over the prior art:

[0037] (1) The roof tent disclosed in this invention is installed between the mounting base plate and the roof, and the expansion tent is hinged to one side of the mounting base plate. At the same time, a first tarpaulin is laid between the roof, the expansion tent and the mounting base plate. The roof tent is fixed to the vehicle roof by fixing the mounting base plate to the vehicle roof. In the initial state, the roof and the mounting base plate are closed, and the expansion tent is stored between the roof and the mounting base plate. When in use, the roof is driven by the power device to rise relative to the mounting base plate to form a receiving space. The expansion tent is flipped out of the receiving space relative to the mounting base plate. After the expansion tent is unfolded, the original area of ​​the mounting base plate is increased and is not affected by the area of ​​the vehicle roof. At the same time, after the roof and the expansion tent are unfolded, the first tarpaulin is fully opened, and a larger space can be formed between the roof, the expansion tent, the mounting base plate and the first tarpaulin to meet the accommodation of multiple people. The expandability is greatly enhanced.

[0038] (2) The side bottom plate is hinged to the mounting base plate, which makes it easy for the side bottom plate to flip relative to the mounting base plate and flatten with the mounting base plate, thereby increasing the area of ​​the roof tent. The support frame can support the first tent cloth, increasing the tent space at the expansion tent. The telescopic pole can easily open or close the support frame relative to the side bottom plate, thus making it easier for the entire expansion tent to be stored in the installation space with a smaller volume.

[0039] (3) By setting up a telescopic ladder and hinged one end of the telescopic ladder to the bottom surface of the side bottom plate away from the mounting bottom plate, on the one hand, after the roof tent is opened, the telescopic ladder can be extended and contacted with the bottom surface, making it convenient to climb into the roof tent through the telescopic ladder. On the other hand, by setting up the telescopic ladder, the side bottom plate away from the mounting bottom plate can be supported, avoiding the side bottom plate from being deformed by pressure on one side.

[0040] (4) The first fork arm and the second fork arm are connected by a cross hinge. The lower end of the first fork arm is hinged to the end of the mounting base plate near the expansion tent. The upper end of the second fork arm is hinged to the inner top surface of the top cover. The upper end of the first fork arm and the lower end of the second fork arm are respectively hinged to the first slider on the first sliding device. The first fork arm and the second fork arm can be driven to lift in a cross manner by a linear drive element. When the top cover is unfolded, the accommodating space can be maximized. When the top cover is closed, the first fork arm and the second fork arm cross and close to be parallel, which can reduce the space occupation rate of the lifting component in the accommodating space, thereby avoiding the large volume of the roof tent after storage, which would cause excessive wind resistance during vehicle driving.

[0041] (5) By setting a scissor linkage assembly on the side of the mounting base away from the expansion tent, and by cooperating with two sets of lifting assemblies, the overall structural strength after the top cover is opened can be improved.

[0042] (6) By setting up side tents on the mounting base, by pulling the support rods, the support rods rotate around the hinge axis. After multiple support rods are opened, they will drive the second tent fabric to open in sequence. They can surround the two adjacent sides of the mounting base, thus forming a camping tent that covers the vehicle and the surrounding space. The side tents are easy to unfold and store. When the side tents and the extended tent are stored, the top cover and the mounting base can be closed by the power unit, so that the side tents and the extended tents are stored between the top cover and the mounting base, realizing the integration of the top tent, the extended tent and the side tent into a compact roof tent, reducing the volume of the entire roof tent after storage, reducing its weight and the wind resistance it brings to the vehicle.

Detailed Implementation

[0059] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0060] In existing technologies, the area of ​​a rooftop tent P is mostly limited by the installation area on the vehicle roof. The area of ​​the rooftop tent P is not easily expandable, and it cannot meet the needs of multiple people sleeping in the rooftop tent P when traveling with multiple people.

[0061] This invention discloses a rooftop tent P, which is fixedly installed on the roof of a vehicle to serve as a vehicle camping tent. The vehicles on which the rooftop tent P disclosed in this embodiment can be installed include, but are not limited to, campervans, cars, commercial vehicles, and other automobiles.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, combined with Figure 2-3 The rooftop tent P disclosed in this embodiment includes a mounting base plate 1, a top cover 2, a power unit 3, an extended tent 4, and a first tarpaulin 5.

[0063] Mounting base plate 1 is used for fixed connection with the vehicle roof. In a preferred embodiment, mounting base plate 1 is rectangular in shape, with its length aligned with the length of the vehicle roof and its width aligned with the width of the roof. This configuration allows for efficient use of the effective area of ​​the vehicle roof.

[0064] In some embodiments, the mounting base 1 is used as a bed for users to rest on, and it can be made of steel plate or aluminum alloy plate. Preferably, in order to reduce the overall weight of the roof tent P, the mounting base 1 in this embodiment is preferably made of aluminum alloy.

[0065] In addition, the bottom surface of the mounting base plate 1 in this embodiment has a fastening structure for fixing it to the roof of the vehicle. For example, the mounting base plate 1 and the roof of the vehicle can be fastened together by bolts. Of course, different connection structures can be used to connect the mounting base plate 1 to different vehicle roofs. This invention does not make any specific limitations on this.

[0066] The top cover 2 is disposed on the mounting base plate 1. In this embodiment, the side of the top cover 2 facing the mounting base plate 1 has a receiving cavity. The area of ​​the receiving cavity is larger than the area of ​​the mounting base plate 1. Thus, when the top cover 2 and the mounting base plate 1 are closed, the receiving cavity of the top cover 2 can completely cover the mounting base plate 1 and enclose the mounting base plate 1 in the receiving cavity, thereby realizing the storage of the expansion tent 4 and the first tent fabric 5.

[0067] In order to enable the top cover 2 to move up and down relative to the mounting base plate 1 to open or close the tent, this embodiment provides a power unit 3 between the mounting base plate 1 and the top cover 2. In the initial state, the power unit 3 drives the top cover 2 to close relative to the mounting base plate 1 so that the roof tent P is in the storage state. When it is needed, the power unit 3 drives the top cover 2 to open vertically relative to the mounting base plate 1 to form a storage space, which can be entered by the user to serve as a camping space.

[0068] Because the space formed by the top cover 2 and the mounting base 1 is limited, it cannot accommodate multiple people sleeping outdoors at the same time.

[0069] Therefore, this embodiment provides an expansion tent 4, which is set in the accommodating space. The expansion tent 4 is hinged to one side of the mounting base plate 1, and the expansion tent 4 can be flipped in and out of the accommodating space.

[0070] In the initial state, the expanded tent 4 is located between the top cover 2 and the mounting base 1. When the top cover 2 is raised, the expanded tent 4 can be flipped from the storage space to the outside of the mounting base 1. As a result, the area of ​​the expanded tent 4 and the mounting base 1 on the roof is instantly expanded, thereby expanding the area of ​​the roof tent P and making it convenient for multiple people to use.

[0071] As a preferred implementation, the extended tent 4 is located on one side of the mounting base plate 1 in the width direction. In this way, the tent can be extended in the width direction of the mounting base plate 1, thereby maximizing the extended area of ​​the tent.

[0072] To create a safe and concealed environment for the rooftop tent P, while also providing shelter from wind and rain, this embodiment also includes a first tarpaulin 5 connected between the roof cover 2, the extended tent 4, and the mounting base 1. Specifically, the surface of the first tarpaulin 5 is fixedly connected to the roof cover 2, the extended tent 4, and the mounting base 1. After the roof cover 2 is lifted and the extended tent 4 is folded outward, the first tarpaulin 5 can be fully opened, forming a closed camping space between the first tarpaulin 5, the roof cover 2, the extended tent 4, and the mounting base 1, allowing more users to camp in the space at the same time.

[0073] In this embodiment, the fabric of the first tarpaulin 5 can be a waterproof, breathable, and soft tent fabric. It is worth noting that the surface of the first tarpaulin 5, where the end of the expansion tent 4 is located away from the mounting base plate 1, has an inlet and outlet, which are equipped with zippers. At the same time, the other three outer surfaces of the first tarpaulin 5 are provided with observation windows, which are also equipped with zippers, to facilitate observation of the external environment of the vehicle through the observation windows.

[0074] The rooftop tent P disclosed in this invention is installed on the roof of a vehicle. In the initial state, the top cover 2 and the mounting base 1 are closed, and the expansion tent 4 is stored between the top cover 2 and the mounting base 1. When in use, the power device 3 drives the top cover 2 to rise relative to the mounting base 1 to form an accommodating space, and the expansion tent 4 is flipped outward relative to the mounting base 1 to extend into the accommodating space. After the expansion tent 4 is unfolded, the original area of ​​the mounting base 1 is increased, and it is not affected by the area of ​​the vehicle roof. At the same time, after the top cover 2 and the expansion tent 4 are unfolded, the first tent fabric 5 is fully extended, and a larger space can be formed between the top cover 2, the expansion tent 4, the mounting base 1 and the first tent fabric 5 to meet the accommodation needs of multiple people, greatly enhancing the expandability.

[0075] This embodiment illustrates a preferred implementation of the expansion tent 4. For details, please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, the extended tent 4 includes a side base plate 41, a support frame 42, and a telescopic pole 43.

[0076] One end of the side base plate 41 is hinged to one side of the mounting base plate 1. In this embodiment, the side base plate 41 is located on one side of the width direction of the mounting base plate 1, and one side of the side base plate 41 is aligned with one side of the mounting base plate 1. The side base plate 41 and the mounting base plate 1 are hinged together by a hinge member L. In the initial state, the side base plate 41 is flipped to the top surface of the mounting base plate 1. When it needs to be unfolded, the side base plate 41 is flipped 180° relative to the mounting base plate 1, so that the side base plate 41 and the mounting base plate 1 are kept horizontally aligned. Under the action of the hinge member L, the end faces of the side base plate 41 and the mounting base plate 1 abut against each other. At this time, the side base plate 41 and the mounting base plate 1 are horizontally connected. Thus, the side base plate 41 and the mounting base plate 1 cooperate with each other to provide a larger camping area for the rooftop tent P.

[0077] As some preferred embodiments, please refer to the appendix. Figure 5 As shown, a positioning protrusion T1 is provided on one end face where the mounting base plate 1 connects to the side base plate 41, and a positioning recess is provided on the other end face where the side base plate 41 connects to the mounting base plate 1, which mates with the positioning protrusion T1. This configuration allows the positioning recess on the side base plate 41 to engage with the positioning protrusion T1 on the mounting base plate 1 when the side base plate 41 is rotated and flattened to a 180° angle relative to the mounting base plate 1. This interlocking action enhances the structural strength of the connection between the side base plate 41 and the mounting base plate 1, preventing the side base plate 41 from collapsing under pressure after being flattened, thus improving the safety of the expanded tent 4. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the positioning protrusion T1 is square, elliptical, or similar.

[0078] To facilitate the erection of the first tent fabric 5, this embodiment includes a support frame 42, which is rotatably mounted on the top surface of the side base plate 41 away from the mounting base plate 1. With this configuration, after the side base plate 41 is flattened, the support frame 42 can be flipped relative to the side base plate 41 and forms a certain angle with it. At least a portion of the first tent fabric 5 covers the support frame 42 and is fixedly connected to the side base plate 41. At this time, the first tent fabric 5 is spread open by the support frame 42, forming a tent space between it and the side base plate 41. When the expanded tent 4 is stored, after flipping the support frame 42 relative to the side base plate 41 to a horizontal position, the portion of the first tent fabric 5 on the expanded tent 4 is folded. Flipping the side base plate 41 then allows the entire expanded tent 4 to be flipped into the storage space for easy storage.

[0079] To ensure the support frame 42 remains fixed in position after being flipped relative to the side base plate 41 at a certain angle, this embodiment includes a telescopic rod 43 on the side of the support frame 42 facing the mounting base plate 1. The two ends of the telescopic rod 43 are hinged to the support frame 42 and the side base plate 41, respectively. The telescopic rod 43 is used to drive the support frame 42 to open or close relative to the side base plate 41. In this embodiment, the telescopic rod 43 is preferably a gas spring. After the expanded tent 4 flips to create an accommodating space, the telescopic rod 43, due to its pneumatic action, can drive the support frame 42 to open relative to the side base plate 41. The angle at which the support frame 42 opens relative to the side base plate 41 is preferably 90° to 120°. When it is necessary to fold the support frame 42 relative to the side base plate 41, simply flip the support frame 42; under the action of the telescopic rod 43, the support frame 42 remains flush with the side base plate 41.

[0080] In this embodiment, the length of the side base plate 41 extending beyond the mounting base plate 1 (that is, the width of the side base plate 41) is less than the width of the mounting base plate 1. This is to ensure that the expanded tent 4 will not extend beyond the outside of the mounting base plate 1 after being accommodated in the storage space.

[0081] Correspondingly, after the support frame 42 is stored on the side base plate 41, the support frame 42 cannot exceed the width of the side base plate 41. However, since the top cover 2 and the mounting base plate 1 are spread apart, there is a certain height in some areas. This height is usually greater than the width of the side base plate 41. If the height of the support frame 42 after it is spread apart on the side base plate 41 is less than the certain height in some areas after it is spread apart between the top cover 2 and the mounting base plate 1, it will result in a smaller tent space height in the expanded tent 4, making it inconvenient for people to move in and out.

[0082] Therefore, this embodiment has a structural design for the support frame 42, specifically as shown in the attached drawing. Figure 4 As shown, the support frame 42 includes a sleeve rod 421 and a support rod 422. Two sleeve rods 421 are arranged in parallel. The bottom end of the sleeve rod 421 is rotatably connected to the side base plate 41, and the end of the telescopic rod 43 away from the side base plate 41 is hinged to the lower part of the sleeve rod 421. The two ends of the support rod 422 are respectively inserted into the top ends of the two sleeve rods 421. The sleeve rod 421 is provided with a positioning member 423 for adjusting the relative position of the support rod 422 and the sleeve rod 421.

[0083] With this configuration, when the support frame 42 is opened relative to the side base plate 41, the support rod 422 is stretched upward along the end of the sleeve rod 421 by loosening the positioning piece 423, so that the support rod 422 is extended in the axial direction of the sleeve rod 421. Then, the support rod 422 and the sleeve rod 421 are fixed by screwing the positioning piece 423, thereby increasing the vertical height between the top of the support frame 42 and the side base plate 41. Thus, the first tarpaulin 5 can be opened upward in the vertical direction, increasing the spatial height of the first tarpaulin 5 after it is opened. When the expansion tent 4 needs to be stored, loosen the positioning piece 423 and push the support rod 422 downward along the sleeve rod 421 so that the total height of the support frame 42 is less than the width of the side base plate 41. In this way, after the side base plate 41 is flipped onto the top surface of the mounting base plate 1, the side base plate 41 presses down on the support frame 42 due to its own weight. Since the total height of the support frame 42 is less than the width of the side base plate at this time, the support frame 42 and the side base plate 41 are closed through the telescopic rod 43, which avoids the support frame 42 being too high, causing the side base plate 41 to be supported by the support frame 42, resulting in the expansion tent 4 occupying a large space in the storage space.

[0084] To facilitate access to the rooftop tent P, this embodiment includes a telescopic ladder 44. One end of the ladder 44 is hinged to the bottom surface of the side base plate 41, away from the mounting base plate 1. On one hand, when the rooftop tent P is opened, the ladder 44 extends and contacts the bottom surface, facilitating entry into the tent P. On the other hand, the ladder 44 provides support for the side base plate 41, preventing deformation from one side. It is worth noting that when the expanded tent 4 is folded up, the side base plate 41 flips into the accommodating space, and the ladder 44 is positioned on the upper surface of the mounting base plate and also accommodated within the space. The power unit 3 drives the top cover 2 downwards, allowing it to close with the mounting base plate 1, thus folding and compressing the overall volume of the rooftop tent P. This prevents the rooftop tent P from becoming too large on the vehicle roof, which would create significant wind resistance.

[0085] It is worth noting that the first tent 5 has an entrance and exit on the side facing the telescopic ladder 44. The entrance and exit are equipped with zippers. Users can climb the telescopic ladder 44 and enter the side floor plate 41 through the entrance and exit on the first tent 5, which facilitates entry into the tent space of the roof tent P.

[0086] To enable the rooftop tent P to open or close, this embodiment utilizes a power unit 3. Specifically, the power unit 3 includes two symmetrically arranged lifting components 31, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 1 , 3As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the lower ends of the two sets of lifting components 31 are respectively connected to both sides of the mounting base plate 1 along the first direction D1, and the upper ends of the two sets of lifting components 31 are vertically upward and connected to the inner top surface of the top cover 2. The expansion tent 4 is hinged to one side of the mounting base plate 1 along the second direction D2, and the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 are perpendicular. In this embodiment, the first direction D1 is the length direction of the mounting base plate 1, and the second direction D2 is the width direction of the mounting base plate 1.

[0087] The two sets of lifting components 31 are located at both ends along the length of the space between the top cover 2 and the mounting base plate 1. This arrangement does not affect the expansion tent 4 from flipping into the space between the two sets of lifting components 31. The two sets of lifting components 31 make the raising and lowering of the top cover 2 more stable.

[0088] This embodiment illustrates a preferred implementation of the lifting assembly 31. Specifically, the lifting assembly 31 includes a first fork arm 311, a second fork arm 312, and a linear drive element 313.

[0089] The first fork arm 311 and the second fork arm 312 are cross-hinged along the second direction D2. The lower end of the first fork arm 311 is hinged to the end of the mounting base plate 1 near the expansion tent 4, and the upper end of the second fork arm 312 is hinged to the inner top surface of the top cover 2. When the first fork arm 311 and the second fork arm 312 rotate cross-hinged, the two ends of the first fork arm 311 and the second fork arm 312 can be separated or brought closer together.

[0090] Since the lower end of the first fork arm 311 is already positionally constrained with the mounting base plate 1, and the upper end of the second fork arm 312 is also positionally constrained with the inner top surface of the top cover 2, in order for the top cover 2 and the mounting base plate 1 to move up and down, it is necessary to enable the upper end of the first fork arm 311 and the lower end of the second fork arm 312 to move along the second direction D2.

[0091] Therefore, in this embodiment, a first sliding device 314 is fixedly installed on the inner top surface of the mounting base plate 1 and the top cover 2 along the second direction D2. The first sliding device 314 includes a first linear guide rail 3141 and a first slider 3142 slidably connected to the first linear guide rail 3141. The upper end of the first fork arm 311 and the lower end of the second fork arm 312 are respectively hinged to the first slider 3142 on the first sliding device 314. At the same time, the fixed end of the linear drive element 313 is hinged to the lower end of the first fork arm 311, and the driving end of the linear drive element 313 is hinged to the upper part of the second fork arm 312.

[0092] Using the above technical solution, when the roof tent P needs to be opened, the extension of the drive end of the linear drive element 313 drives the second fork arm 312 to rotate relative to the first fork arm 311. At this time, the intersection angle between the second fork arm 312 and the first fork arm 311 becomes smaller. Simultaneously, the upper end of the first fork arm 311 moves closer to the upper end of the second fork arm 312 along the first linear guide rail 3141 via the first slider 3142, and the lower end of the second fork arm 312 moves closer to the lower end of the first fork arm 311 along the first linear guide rail 3141 via the first slider 3142. This achieves the lifting of the roof cover 2 relative to the mounting base plate 1.

[0093] When the roof tent P needs to be closed, the driving end of the linear drive element 313 is shortened, which drives the second fork arm 312 to rotate relative to the first fork arm 311. At this time, the intersection angle between the second fork arm 312 and the first fork arm 311 increases. At the same time, the upper end of the first fork arm 311 slides along the first linear guide rail 3141 via the first slider 3142 and moves away from the upper end of the second fork arm 312. The lower end of the second fork arm 312 slides along the first linear guide rail 3141 via the first slider 3142 and moves away from the lower end of the first fork arm 311. This achieves the closing of the roof cover 2 relative to the mounting base plate 1.

[0094] In the above embodiments, the linear drive element can be an electric actuator, a hydraulic actuator, or a pneumatic actuator.

[0095] It is worth noting that, since the lifting assembly 31 is positioned along the width of the mounting base plate 1, if the lifting assembly 31 is positioned at the center of the mounting base plate 1 along its width, the lower end of the first fork arm 311 is already positionally constrained by the mounting base plate 1, and the upper end of the second fork arm 312 is also positionally constrained by the inner top surface of the top cover 2. Because the width of the mounting base plate 1 is limited, the distance at which the two ends of the first fork arm 311 and the second fork arm 312 can separate when they cross and rotate is limited. This will result in the first fork arm 311 and the second fork arm 312... If the length of the first fork arm 311 and the second fork arm 312 is limited, although the first fork arm 311 and the second fork arm 312 can be closed, the height of the space between the top cover 2 and the mounting base plate 1 will be smaller. If the length of the first fork arm 311 and the second fork arm 312 is inconvenient, the first fork arm 311 and the second fork arm 312 cannot be fully closed. This will result in the top cover 2 and the mounting base plate 1 not being able to close, or occupying a large space in the height direction of the accommodating space after closing, which will result in the entire roof tent P being thicker on the top of the vehicle, which will easily increase the vehicle's wind resistance.

[0096] Therefore, in this embodiment, the lower end of the first fork arm 311 is hinged to the end of the mounting base plate 1 near the expansion tent 4, and the upper end of the second fork arm 312 is hinged to the inner top surface of the top cover 2. The position of the second fork arm 312 corresponds vertically to the position of the first fork arm 311. With this configuration, when the first fork arm 311 and the second fork arm 312 rotate crosswise, the distance between the two ends of the first fork arm 311 and the second fork arm 312 can be greater, which can meet the height space of the tent after lifting. At the same time, when the first fork arm 311 and the second fork arm 312 cross and close together, they tend to be parallel, which can reduce the space occupation rate of the lifting component 31 in the accommodating space, thereby avoiding the large volume of the roof tent P after storage, which would cause excessive wind resistance during vehicle driving.

[0097] Since the lifting assembly 31 is located at the end of the top cover 2 and the mounting base plate 1 that is close to the expansion tent 4, after the lifting assembly 31 drives the top cover 2 to open, the end of the top cover 2 that is far away from the expansion tent 4 is unsupported, which will cause the top cover 2 to shake after it is opened, resulting in structural instability.

[0098] Therefore, the power unit 3 in this embodiment is also provided with a scissor linkage assembly 32, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 and 8 As shown, the lower end of the scissor linkage assembly 32 is connected to the side of the mounting base plate 1 away from the expansion tent 4, and the upper end of the scissor linkage assembly 32 is vertically upward and connected to the inner top surface of the top cover 2.

[0099] The scissor linkage assembly 32 includes a first link 321 and a second link 322, which are hinged together along a first direction D1. The lower end of the first link 321 is hinged to the mounting base plate 1, and the upper end of the second link 322 is hinged to the inner top surface of the top cover 2. A second sliding device 323 is fixedly provided on both the mounting base plate 1 and the inner top surface of the top cover 2 along the first direction D1. The second sliding device 323 includes a second linear guide rail 3231 and a second slider 3232 that is slidably connected to the second linear guide rail 3231. The upper end of the first link 321 and the lower end of the second link 322 are respectively hinged to the second slider 3232 on the second sliding device 323.

[0100] In this embodiment, the scissor linkage assembly 32 is a non-powered linkage mechanism that provides support. When the lifting assembly 31 drives the top cover 2 to rise, the upper end of the first link 321 slides along the second linear guide rail via the second slider 3232 and approaches the upper end of the second link 322. At the same time, the lower end of the second link 322 slides along the second linear guide rail 3231 via the second slider 3232 and approaches the lower end of the first link 321. At this time, the intersection angle between the first link 321 and the second link 322 decreases. When the top cover 2 is raised to a suitable position, under the constraint of the lifting assembly 31, the upper ends of the first link 321 and the upper ends of the second link 322 support the top cover 2. Through the cooperation of the two sets of lifting assemblies 31, the overall structural strength of the top cover 2 after it is opened can be improved.

[0101] It is worth noting that, as shown in Appendices 1, 6, and 9, the lifting assembly 31 and the scissor linkage assembly 32 are located on the outer side of the first tent fabric 5. Users only come into contact with the first tent fabric 5 within the tent space, avoiding contact with the lifting assembly 31 and the scissor linkage assembly 32, thus preventing mechanical injury. On the other hand, this also prevents the power unit 3 from being located on the inner side of the first tent fabric 5, thus avoiding any occupation of the storage space.

[0102] When camping in the wild, camping tents are usually needed. Camping tents provide shade and shelter from the rain, and allow users to picnic or relax under them. Setting up a camping tent is relatively troublesome, and packing it up is also quite cumbersome.

[0103] Therefore, the rooftop tent P in this embodiment is also equipped with a side tent 6, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 10, the side tent 6 is set on the mounting base plate 1, using the vehicle roof as an extension base to realize the tent construction.

[0104] Specifically, the side tent 6 disclosed in this embodiment includes a storage board 61, a support pole 62, and a second tent 63.

[0105] The storage panel 61 is mounted upright on the top surface of the mounting base 1 at the end away from the expansion tent 4, and the length direction of the storage panel 61 is flush with the length direction of the mounting base 1. A hinge frame 611 is provided at one end of the storage panel 61 along its length, and at least one hinge shaft 612 is vertically provided on the hinge frame 611.

[0106] Multiple support rods 62 are provided, and one end of each support rod 62 is sequentially rotatably connected to the hinge shaft 612 along the axial direction of the hinge shaft 612. The length of the support rod 62 is less than or equal to the length of the storage plate 61.

[0107] The second tarpaulin 63 covers multiple support poles 62 and is fixedly connected to the support poles 62. One side of the second tarpaulin 63 is fixedly connected to the storage plate 61, and the other side of the second tarpaulin 63 is provided with rope buckles for fixing to the vehicle. When the second tarpaulin 63 is unfolded, it can wrap around the two adjacent sides of the mounting base plate 1.

[0108] Using the above technical solution, when the top cover 2 of the rooftop tent P is raised, pulling the outermost support rod 62 on the second tent 63 causes multiple support rods 62 to rotate around the hinge axis 612. As the multiple support rods 62 unfold, they sequentially unfold the second tent 63, allowing it to surround the two adjacent sides of the mounting base 1, thus forming a camping tent covering the vehicle and its surrounding space. Since one side of the second tent 63 is already fixed to the storage panel 61, the side tent 6 can be opened simply by securing the rope buckles on the second tent 63 to the vehicle after it is fully unfolded. Once unfolded, the side tent 6 can surround one side of the vehicle's width and the rear of the vehicle, forming a 270° canopy. Using the roof as an extension, a large camping tent can be formed, accommodating multiple users for picnics or relaxation under the side tent 6.

[0109] When it is necessary to store the side tent 6, simply loosen the rope buckle and push the outermost support pole 62 of the second tent 63. Multiple support poles 62 rotate around the hinge axis 612 and close together. During the closing process of the support poles 62, the second tent 63 is driven to close, thereby realizing the closure and storage of the support poles 62 and the second tent 63 on the side wall of the storage plate 61.

[0110] The entire side tent 6 is easy to unfold and store. After the side tent 6 and the extended tent 4 are stored, the top cover 2 and the mounting base plate 1 can be closed by the power unit 3, so that the side tent 6 and the extended tent 4 are stored between the top cover 2 and the mounting base plate 1, realizing the integration of the top tent, the extended tent 4 and the side tent 6 into a compact roof tent P, reducing the volume of the entire roof tent P after storage, reducing its weight and the wind resistance it brings to the vehicle.

[0111] It is worth noting that after the side tent 6 is stored, it is located on the mounting base plate 1, and the top cover 2 covers the side tent 6 in the vertical direction. As a result, when the roof tent P is stored, the expansion tent 4 and the side tent 6 can be completely stored between the top cover 2 and the mounting base plate 1, so that the entire roof tent P has a compact structure and small size, which can reduce the wind resistance brought by the roof tent P on the vehicle.

[0112] As some preferred embodiments, when a hinge shaft 612 is vertically installed on the hinge frame 611, there is a certain distance between the hinge shaft 612 and the storage plate 61. After all the support rods 62 rotate and close around the hinge shaft 612, all the support rods 62 can be stacked in the vertical direction. At the same time, the side walls of all the support rods 62 can fit against the side walls of the storage plate 61 and keep all the support rods 62 parallel to the storage plate.

[0113] When multiple hinge shafts 612 are vertically arranged on the hinge frame 611, the multiple hinge shafts 612 are arranged at intervals from the outer corner of the hinge frame 611 to the inner side along the length of the storage plate 61, and the distance between the hinge shaft 612 and the storage plate 61 decreases sequentially. The difference in distance between two adjacent hinge shafts 612 and the storage plate 61 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the support rod 61. With this arrangement, after the support rods 62 on the multiple hinge shafts 612 rotate around their corresponding hinge shafts 612 and fit against the side wall of the storage plate 61, all the support rods 62 can be arranged horizontally along the side wall of the storage plate 61. This can keep all the support rods 62 neatly stored on the side wall of the storage plate. At the same time, after the support rods 62 are stored, the overall structure formed by the storage plate 61 and the support rods 62 is more compact.

[0114] Preferably, each hinge shaft 612 is hinged with two support rods 61. This avoids a large drop after the second tarpaulin is installed on two adjacent support rods, which would make it inconvenient for the support rods to connect with the second tarpaulin.

[0115] To prevent the side tent 6 from collapsing, the side tent 6 in this embodiment also includes a vertical pole 64. The vertical pole 64 is rotatably connected to the bottom of one of the support poles 62 away from the hinge shaft 612. The vertical pole 64 can be closed or opened relative to the support pole 62, and the vertical pole 64 is a telescopic structure. Therefore, after the second tent fabric 63 is unfolded, the vertical pole 64 is flipped vertically downwards relative to the support pole 62, and the length of the vertical pole 64 is adjusted so that the lower end of the vertical pole 64 contacts the bottom surface, thereby supporting the side tent 6 and improving the structural strength of the side tent 6.

[0116] As some preferred embodiments, the storage plate 61 is provided with multiple straps 613 spaced apart along its length. The straps 613 are used to secure the multiple support poles 62 and the second tent 63 after they are closed towards the storage plate 61. When it is necessary to store the side tent 6, simply loosen the rope buckle and push the outermost support pole 62 of the second tent 63. The multiple support poles 62 rotate around the hinge axis 612 and close together. During the closing process of the support poles 62, the second tent 63 is also closed. After the multiple support poles 62 and the second tent 63 are folded and closed, the multiple support poles 62 and the second tent 63 are tied together by the straps 613 to prevent the second tent 63 from being in a loose state and extending outside the mounting base plate 1, so that the second tent 63 cannot be completely stored in the storage space when the top cover 2 is closed.

[0117] It is worth noting that when the extended tent 4 and the side tents 6 are both deployed, the roof tent P must be retracted first before the drive mechanism closes the top cover 2 to the mounting base 1. If the side tents 6 are not retracted, closing the top cover 2 to the mounting base 1 will cause a mechanical collision between the top cover 2 and the support rod 62, making it impossible to close the roof tent P.

[0118] If only the side tent 6 is needed and the expansion tent 4 is not required, the top cover 2 and the mounting base plate 1 can be opened slightly to allow the side tent 6 to be taken out of the storage space and unfolded.

[0119] On the other hand, the present invention also discloses a vehicle, as shown in the appendix. Figure 11-13 As shown, the vehicle includes a vehicle body S and a rooftop tent P. The rooftop tent P is fixedly mounted on the top of the vehicle body S, and the expansion tent 4 is located on one side of the vehicle body S in the width direction. The vehicle body S of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, motorhomes, campervans, cars, commercial vehicles, and other automobiles.

[0120] By fixing a rooftop tent P to the vehicle body S and adding an expansion tent 4, the tent area can be increased to accommodate multiple people, greatly enhancing its expandability. The side tents 6 extend from the vehicle roof, and when unfolded, they can cover one side of the vehicle's width and the rear, forming a 270° canopy. This creates a large camping tent, allowing multiple users to picnic or relax under the side tents 6.

[0121] The extended tent 4 and the side tent 6 are integrated together to form the rooftop tent P, which can meet the needs of multiple people for camping, picnics or leisure. It has a high degree of integration and multiple functions.

[0122] In addition, the expansion tent 4 and the side tent 6 are integrated together to form a compact roof tent P, which can reduce the volume of the entire roof tent P after it is stored, reduce its weight and wind resistance on the vehicle.

[0123] As one of the alternative implementations, the roof of the rooftop tent P is equipped with solar panels that can provide lighting power for the tent space or power the vehicle.

[0124] The method of using the rooftop tent disclosed in this invention on a vehicle is as follows:

[0125] The top cover is raised relative to the mounting base plate by a power device to form an accommodating space. The side base plate is flipped outward from the accommodating space relative to the mounting base plate. Under the action of the telescopic rod, the support frame is opened relative to the side base plate. By loosening the positioning piece 423, the support rod 422 is stretched upward along the end of the sleeve rod 421, so that the support rod 422 is extended in the axial direction of the sleeve rod 421. The support rod 422 and the sleeve rod 421 are fixed by screwing the positioning piece 423, thereby increasing the vertical height between the top of the support frame 42 and the side base plate 41, so that the first tent 5 is opened upward in the vertical direction, increasing the spatial height after the first tent 5 is opened. When the side base plate is flipped to be horizontal with the mounting base plate, the telescopic ladder is extended to contact the bottom surface, so that the expanded tent can be unfolded. When the side tent is needed, pulling the outermost support pole 62 on the second tent 63 causes multiple support poles 62 to rotate around the hinge shaft 612. As the multiple support poles 62 unfold, they sequentially unfold the second tent 63, allowing it to surround the two adjacent sides of the mounting base 1, thus forming a camping tent covering the vehicle and surrounding space. When the roof tent needs to be stored, the side tent 6 and the extended tent 4 are stored first, and then the power unit drives the top cover 2 to close with the mounting base 1.

[0126] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
