Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of rooftop tent technology, to folding rooftop tents, and more particularly to fully enclosed folding rooftop tents. Background Technology
[0002] Existing rooftop tents are generally classified into soft-top tents and hard-top tents based on the hardness of the tent top.
[0003] Soft-top tents typically have a double- or triple-fold panel structure. Folding or unfolding is achieved by using a ladder or side panel. To increase sleeping comfort, an additional foldable mattress is added. This results in the mattress between two adjacent panels being exposed after folding. Therefore, tents mounted on the vehicle roof need to be covered with a waterproof cover to protect the panels and mattress from rain and sun, especially to prevent the mattress from getting wet in the rain and affecting the user's rest.
[0004] Soft-top tents offer a large open space and a small folded volume due to their 180° opening or folding panels. However, the waterproof cover makes them relatively inconvenient to operate, whether folding or unfolding.
[0005] Hard-top tents typically have a rigid outer shell, which serves the same purpose as the waterproof cover of a soft-top tent. However, to prevent damage to the hinges of the rigid shell when unfolded, the shell can only be fixed at an angle. In this case, the length and width of the hard-top tent will have two possible configurations.
[0006] Scenario 1: The hard shell is used as the roof of the tent after it is opened. The maximum length and width of the mat used for lying on after the tent is opened are the length and width of the hard shell. Whether it is the initial transportation and installation or the later disassembly and placement, it will take up a lot of space and consume a lot of manpower and resources.
[0007] Scenario 2: The hard outer shell, once opened, serves only as part of the tent's roof. The mat for lying down, like a soft-top tent, uses a two- or three-fold structure. The unfolded dimensions of the mat are much larger than the hard outer shell. The canopy fabric that opens with the panels serves as another part of the roof. Compared to Scenario 1, although the volume is reduced, folding or unfolding is more cumbersome. Also, with the same folded external dimensions, the internal space after unfolding is still smaller than that of a soft-top tent due to the hard outer shell. Summary of the Invention
[0008] This invention addresses the problems of existing rooftop tents, such as cumbersome operation, large folding size, and small internal space when unfolded for the same folded size. The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a fully enclosed folding rooftop tent that can be folded by rotation or unfolded by 180° rotation, which makes folding or unfolding simple, has a small folding size, and a large internal space when unfolded.
[0009] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a fully enclosed folding rooftop tent, comprising:
[0010] Two display boards serve as the outer frame when the rooftop tent is folded or as a pad when it is unfolded.
[0011] A hinge assembly is located between two display panels, providing a rotatable connection between the two display panels and the hinge assembly;
[0012] A flipping restriction component is installed on the hinge assembly and restricts the flipping sequence between display panel one, display panel two, and the hinge assembly;
[0013] The water guiding components are installed on the two display panels. In both the folded and open states, water flows out from the outer side of the water guiding components.
[0014] Display panel one and display panel two can be horizontally unfolded at 180° relative to each other via hinged components or vertically folded on the same side.
[0015] When flipped and folded, the flipping restriction component restricts the second display panel and the hinge component to rotate synchronously until the hinge assembly and the second display panel are both perpendicular to the first display panel. Then the flipping restriction component unlocks the restriction, and the second display panel can be flipped and folded relative to the hinge component.
[0016] When the display panel is flipped open, the flipping restriction component restricts the second display panel from rotating open in advance until the second display panel and the hinge component are horizontally unfolded at 180°. The second display panel and the hinge component are flipped simultaneously, and the flipping restriction component is reset and locked to the first display panel and the hinge component.
[0017] A further preferred embodiment of the present invention is as follows: the hinge assembly includes a middle plate and hinge plates rotatably mounted on the left and right sides of the middle plate, the middle plate and the hinge plates are overlapped and rotated through an arc-shaped connecting section, and the first display plate and the second display plate are connected one-to-one to the hinge plates.
[0018] A further preferred embodiment of the present invention is as follows: the water guiding assembly includes several kits and several profile parts. The kits are located at both ends of one side of the display panel one or the display panel two and are fixedly installed at both ends of the hinge plate. The kits are middle section connectors. The corner pieces are located at both ends of the other side of the display panel one or the display panel two. The kits are corner pieces. The profile parts are provided between adjacent corner pieces or between corner pieces and middle section connectors.
[0019] A further preferred embodiment of the present invention is as follows: the upper end surface of the profile is provided with an upper mounting groove, the lower end surface is provided with a lower mounting groove, and the outer side surface is provided with an outer mounting groove; the upper end surface of the kit is provided with an upper water inlet communicating with the end of the upper mounting groove, the lower end surface is provided with a lower water inlet communicating with the end of the lower mounting groove, and the outer side surface of the kit is provided with a water outlet, the water outlet communicating with the upper water inlet and the lower water inlet.
[0020] A further preferred embodiment of the present invention is: a spacer is installed inside the outlet, the spacer forming an upper flow channel including an upper inlet and a portion of the inlet, and a lower flow channel including a lower inlet and another portion of the inlet.
[0021] A further preferred embodiment of the present invention is: a vertically penetrating mounting cavity is formed between the profile component and the inner surface of the hinge plate located on the same side, and the first or second display plate is inserted and fixed in the mounting cavity.
[0022] A further preferred embodiment of the present invention is as follows: the middle section connectors located at both ends of one side of the first display panel are middle section connector one, and the middle section connectors located at both ends of one side of the second display panel are middle section connector two. The flipping restriction component includes middle connectors fixed at both ends of the middle plate. The middle section connector one and the middle section connector two are rotatably installed on the middle connectors.
[0023] A further preferred embodiment of the present invention is as follows: the flipping limiting component further includes a locking member and an elastic member disposed in the intermediate connecting member, an action part disposed on the first intermediate connecting member, and a socket disposed on the second intermediate connecting member. The elastic member elastically acts to insert the locking member into the socket on the second intermediate connecting member and restricts the rotation between the second intermediate connecting member and the intermediate connecting member. The intermediate connecting member rotates toward the first intermediate connecting member. The action part on the first intermediate connecting member can act to slide the locking member and disengage from the socket.
[0024] A further preferred embodiment of the present invention is as follows: a sealing strip is provided on the water guiding component and between the overlapping connecting sections, and a waterproof component is provided between the profile component and the kit, between the middle connecting component and the hinge plate, and between the middle plate and the middle connecting component.
[0025] A further preferred embodiment of the present invention is as follows: the display board is fixedly installed, a bracket is fixedly installed on the display board, and at least three support rods are rotatably installed on the brackets. A canopy is connected to the support rods, and the lower periphery of the canopy is fixed in the upper mounting groove.
[0026] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are that by restricting the flipping between the first display panel, the second display panel and the hinge assembly, it can achieve 180° flipping folding or unfolding without additional accessories. This not only simplifies the folding or unfolding operation, but also makes the folded volume smaller. At the same time, it maximizes the internal space after unfolding while maintaining the same folded external volume. Attached Figure Description

[0047] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0048] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0049] This embodiment mainly describes a fully enclosed rooftop tent that folds by rotation or unfolds by 180° rotation, achieving simple folding or unfolding operations, with a small folded volume and a large internal space when unfolded. Details are as follows:
[0050] like Figure 1-17 As shown, the fully enclosed folding rooftop tent includes two display panels, a hinge assembly 001 connecting the two display panels and enabling them to rotate, a flipping restriction assembly 003 installed at both ends of the hinge assembly 001 and restricting the flipping order between the first display panel 1, the second display panel 2 and the hinge assembly 001, and a water guiding assembly 002 installed on the first display panel 1 or the second display panel 2 to achieve drainage from the outer side. Preferably, the water guiding assembly 002 drains water from the outer side regardless of whether the rooftop tent is folded or unfolded.
[0051] By controlling the rotation between display panel 1, display panel 2, and hinge assembly 001, it can achieve 180° rotation folding or unfolding without additional accessories. This not only simplifies the folding or unfolding operation but also makes the folded volume smaller. At the same time, it maximizes the internal space after unfolding while maintaining the same external volume after folding.
[0052] In this embodiment, the first display panel 1 is used to be fixed on the top of the vehicle. A bracket 3 is fixedly installed on the first display panel 1, and at least three support rods 4 are rotatably installed on the bracket 3. A canopy 5 is connected to the support rods 4. The lower end of the canopy 5 is fixed on the water guiding component 002. With the size of the canopy 5 unchanged, the second display panel 2 and the middle plate 8 are rotated and opened, and the canopy 5 can drive the support rods 4 to rotate.
[0053] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the hinge assembly 001 includes an intermediate plate 8, a hinge plate 9 rotatably connected to one side of the intermediate plate 8, and a hinge plate 10 rotatably connected to the other side of the intermediate plate 8. The hinge plate 1 is located away from the intermediate plate 8 and connected to the hinge plate 9, while the hinge plate 2 is located away from the intermediate plate 8 and connected to the hinge plate 10.
[0054] To avoid interference when hinge plate 9 and hinge plate 10 rotate relative to the intermediate plate 8, the intermediate plate 8 has a first connecting section 8-1 with an arc-shaped structure on one side and a second connecting section 8-2 with an arc-shaped structure on the other side. Hinged plate 9 has a connecting section 9-1 located in the inner ring of the first connecting section 8-1, and hinge plate 10 has a connecting section 10-1 located in the outer ring of the second connecting section 8-2. Both connecting sections 9-1 and 10-1 are arc-shaped. During rotation, there is always a partial overlap between the first connecting section 8-1 and the first connecting section 9-1, and between the second connecting section 8-2 and the second connecting section 10-1.
[0055] Because gaps will be left between the rotating connections, sealing strips 6 can be additionally installed between the first connecting section 8-1 and connecting section 9-1, and between the second connecting section 8-2 and connecting section 10-1. The sealing strips 6 are attached to the inner and outer walls where the two connecting sections overlap.
[0056] like Figure 2 , Figures 6-9 As shown, the water guiding component 002 on the first display panel 1 surrounds the remaining sides except for the side where the connecting hinge plate 1 9 is located, and the water guiding component 002 on the second display panel 2 surrounds the remaining sides except for the side where the connecting hinge plate 2 10 is located. In this embodiment, a set of water guiding components 002 includes three profile parts 11, two middle section connectors 12b, and two corner pieces 12a. The three profile parts 11 are distributed in a U-shape, and the middle section connectors 12b are installed at the ends of the profile parts 11, while the corner pieces 12a are connected between two adjacent profile parts 11. The middle section connectors 12b are also connected to the ends of the first hinge plate 9 or the second hinge plate 2 10. The middle section connector 12b connected to the end of the first hinge plate 9 is the first middle section connector 12b1, and the middle section connector 12b connected to the end of the second hinge plate 2 10 is the second middle section connector 12b2.
[0057] Preferably, two mid-section connectors 12b and two corner connectors 12a in a set of water guiding components 002 are distributed at the four corners of display panel 1 or display panel 2.
[0058] The three profile pieces 11 located on one side of the middle plate 8 form a U-shaped mounting cavity with the hinge plate 9 or the hinge plate 10. The mounting cavity is vertically connected, and the display plate 1 or the display plate 2 is inserted and fixed in one of the mounting cavities.
[0059] In this embodiment, the profile 11 is usually made of metal. In order to adapt to the installation of different vehicle roof racks and the installation of the sealing strip 6 on the water guide assembly 002, the upper end surface of the profile 11 is provided with an upper mounting groove 11-1, the lower end surface is provided with a lower mounting groove 11-2, and the outer side surface is provided with an outer mounting groove 11-3.
[0060] like Figure 7 , Figure 9 As shown, to prevent rainwater from accumulating in the upper mounting groove 11-1, lower mounting groove 11-2, and outer mounting groove 11-3, which would accelerate the rusting and aging of the profile 11 and affect its service life, an upper water inlet 12-1 communicating with the end of the upper mounting groove 11-1 is provided on the upper end face of the corner piece 12a and the middle section connector 12b, and a lower water inlet 12-2 communicating with the end of the lower mounting groove 11-2 is provided on the lower end face of the corner piece 12a and the middle section connector 12b, and a water outlet 12-3 is provided on the outer side face of the corner piece 12a and the middle section connector 12b. The upper water inlet 12-1 and the lower water inlet 12-2 are both connected to the water outlet 12-3.
[0061] Preferably, the upper mounting groove 11-1 can be used to fix the lower periphery of the canopy 5.
[0062] Based on the arrangement of the upper inlet 12-1, lower inlet 12-2, and outlet 12-3, in order to prevent water from flowing back from the outlet 12-3 to the upper inlet 12-1 or the lower inlet 12-2, a spacer 13 is installed inside the outlet 12-3. The spacer 13 separates the upper inlet 12-1 and the lower inlet 12-2, forming an upper flow channel mainly composed of the upper inlet 12-1 and a portion of the inlets, and a lower flow channel mainly composed of the lower inlet 12-2 and another portion of the inlets. Water flowing in from the upper inlet 12-1 or the lower inlet 12-2 can flow onto the spacer 13. Preferably, the outlet 12-3 is a funnel-shaped outlet that is smaller inside and larger outside, and the outer end of the spacer 13 extends outward from the smaller end of the outlet 12-3.
[0063] The outer mounting groove 11-3 can be configured like the outlet 12-3, but in this embodiment, the outer mounting groove 11-3 is connected to the outlet 12-3 to achieve drainage in a unified location.
[0064] like Figure 10 , Figure 13 As shown, the flipping restriction assembly 003 includes an intermediate connector 14 fixed at both ends of the intermediate plate 8, a locking member 15 and an elastic member 16 disposed within the intermediate connector 14, an action part 12b1-1 disposed on the first intermediate connector 12b1, and an insertion port 12b2-2 disposed on the second intermediate connector 12b2. The first intermediate connector 12b1 and the second intermediate connector 12b2 are disposed on the intermediate connector 14 and are rotatably installed by means of bushing insertion or the like. Preferably, the rotation axis between the intermediate connector 12b and the intermediate connector 14 is collinear with the axis of the connecting section of the arc-shaped structure located on the same side.
[0065] To prevent the intermediate connector 14 from separating from the first intermediate connector 12b1 and the second intermediate connector 12b2, a side plate 17 and screws 18 are provided to connect the intermediate connector 14 with the first intermediate connector 12b1 and the second intermediate connector 12b2.
[0066] The locking member 15 is slidably installed in the intermediate connecting member 14, and the elastic member 16 elastically acts to insert one end of the locking member 15 into the socket 12b2-2 on the intermediate connecting member 2 12b2, and restricts the rotation between the intermediate connecting member 2 12b2 and the intermediate connecting member 14, that is, restricts the rotation of the display plate 2 2 and the hinge plate 2 10 relative to the intermediate plate 8.
[0067] The other end of the locking member 15 is always exposed to the intermediate connector 14. When the intermediate connector 14 drives the second intermediate connector 12b2 to rotate toward the first intermediate connector 12b1, the action part 12b1-1 on the first intermediate connector 12b1 can cause the locking member 15 to slide and disengage from the insertion port 12b2-2 of the second intermediate connector 12b2.
[0068] The deployed state of the rooftop tent in this application is as follows: Figure 11 As shown: from left to right, display panel 1, hinged panel 9, middle panel 8, hinged panel 2 10, and display panel 2 2 are horizontally distributed, i.e., unfolded in a straight line. At this time, display panel 1 and hinged panel 9 are limited by the surface contact of the middle connecting piece 12b1 and the middle connecting piece 14, and display panel 2 and hinged panel 2 10 are limited by the surface contact of the middle connecting piece 2 12b2 and the middle connecting piece 14. The locking piece 15 is only subjected to the elastic force of the elastic piece 16. The elastic piece 16 elastically connects the locking piece 15 to the middle connecting piece 14 and the middle connecting piece 2 12b2. The locking piece 15 restricts the rotation between the middle connecting piece 14 and the middle connecting piece 2 12b2, i.e., restricts the rotation of display panel 1 and hinged panel 9 relative to the middle panel 8.
[0069] The folded state of the rooftop tent in this application is as follows: Figure 16 , Figure 17 As shown: Display plate 2 is located above display plate 1, hinge plate 2 10 is located above hinge plate 9, and intermediate plate 8 and intermediate connector 14 are located below hinge plate 2 10 and intermediate connector 2 12b2. Intermediate plate 8 and intermediate connector 14 are located to the right of hinge plate 9. Display plate 1 and display plate 2 are perpendicular to intermediate plate 8. Plate 1 and hinge plate 9 are limited by the surface contact of intermediate connector 12b1 and intermediate connector 14. Display plate 2 and hinge plate 2 10 are limited by the surface contact of intermediate connector 2 12b2 and intermediate connector 14. At this time, the action part 12b1-1 on intermediate connector 1 12b1 has been activated and the locking part 15 has completely disengaged from the insertion port 12b2-2 of intermediate connector 2 12b2.
[0070] In the folded state, the upper water guide channel on the first display panel 1 is covered by the second display panel 2. At this time, the lower mounting groove 11-2 of the profile part 11, the middle connecting part 2 12b2 and the lower water inlet 12-2 of the corner part 12a on the second display panel 2 are all rotated to the top. At this time, rainwater enters from the lower mounting groove 11-2 located above and flows out from the outlet 12-3.
[0071] The following is a brief description, in which display plate 2 represents display plate 2, water guiding component 002 on display plate 2 and hinge plate 2 10, intermediate plate 8 represents intermediate plate 8, intermediate connecting plate, and locking component 15 and elastic component 16 in intermediate connecting plate, and display plate 1 represents display plate 1, water guiding component 002 on display plate 1 and hinge plate 1 9.
[0072] Rooftop tent from Figure 11 Rotate to the unfolded state shown. Figure 16 When the device is in the folded state shown, the specific operation steps are as follows.
[0073] Step 1: As Figures 11-14 As shown, rotate the second display plate 2. At this time, under the restriction of the locking member 15, the second display plate 2 drives the middle plate 8 to rotate together toward the second display plate 2. During the rotation, the action part 12b1-1 on the first display plate 1 acts on the locking member 15 to pull down and gradually disengage from the insertion port 12b2-2 of the second display plate 2 until the second display plate 2 and the middle plate 8 rotate to be perpendicular to the first display plate 1.
[0074] Step Two: As Figure 15 , Figure 16 As shown, at this time, the locking part 15 of the action part 12b1-1 on the first display board 1 is completely separated from the insertion port 12b2-2 of the second display board 2, and the independent action display board 2 rotates towards the first display board 1 until the second display board 2 is respectively in contact with the first display board 1 and the middle plate 8, and the rotation and folding are completed.
[0075] Conversely, rooftop tents from... Figure 16 Rotate to the folded state shown. Figure 11 When the display panel is in the unfolded state shown, it needs to be rotated outwards until it is as shown. Figure 14 As shown, at this time, the socket 12b2-2 on the second display panel 2 is aligned with the locking member 15, and then the second display panel 2 and the middle plate 8 are flipped outwards at the same time.
[0076] like Figure 18 As shown, the sealing strip 6 is installed on the water-guiding assembly 002 on the first display panel. When the rooftop tent of this application is not equipped with the tilt-restriction assembly 003, a gap will appear between the first display panel 1, the second display panel 2, and the middle panel 8 of the rooftop tent. Figure 18 As shown in the problem state, the second display panel 2 is perpendicular to the middle panel 8. However, due to the lack of a locking component 15 between the middle panel 8 and the first display panel 1, the middle panel 8 will cause the second display panel 2 to rotate and deviate from the first display panel 1. Furthermore, due to the gravity of the second display panel 2, the water guiding component 002 on the second display panel 2 will exert a lateral force as indicated by the arrow on the sealing strip 6 installed on the water guiding component 002 of the first display panel 1, affecting the installation of the sealing strip 6 on the water guiding component 002. If this problem state persists for a long time or continues repeatedly, it will also affect the sealing effect of the roof tent after the second display panel 2 is covered on the first display panel 1. Therefore, the flipping restriction component 003 is also a key point in the technical solution of this application.
[0077] In this embodiment, the materials of the intermediate plate 8, hinge plate 1 9 and hinge plate are usually the same as those of the profile component 11. To prevent water from entering the interior of the intermediate plate 8, hinge plate 1 9, hinge plate 2 10 and profile component 11, waterproof components 7 are provided between hinge plate 1 9 and middle section connector 12b1, between hinge plate 2 10 and middle section connector 2 12b2, between profile component 11 and middle section connector 12b, and between profile component 11 and corner component 12a.
[0078] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of this invention is usually placed when in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

When the display panel is flipped open, the flipping restriction component restricts the second display panel from rotating open in advance until the second display panel and the hinge component are horizontally unfolded at 180°. Simultaneously, the second display panel and the hinge component are flipped, and the flipping restriction component resets and locks the first display panel and the hinge component. The water guiding component includes several kits and several profile parts. The kits located at both ends of one side of the first or second display panel and fixedly installed at both ends of the hinge plate are middle section connectors. The kits located at both ends of the other side of the first or second display panel are corner pieces. The profile parts are provided for connection between adjacent corner pieces or between corner pieces and middle section connectors. The middle section connectors located at both ends of one side of the display panel are called middle section connector one, and the middle section connectors located at both ends of one side of the display panel two are called middle section connector two. The flipping restriction assembly includes middle connectors fixed at both ends of the middle plate. The middle section connector one and the middle section connector two are rotatably installed on the middle connectors. The flipping restriction assembly also includes a locking member and an elastic member disposed in the intermediate connector, an action part disposed on the first intermediate connector, and a socket disposed on the second intermediate connector. The elastic member elastically acts to insert the locking member into the socket on the second intermediate connector and restricts the rotation between the second intermediate connector and the intermediate connector. The intermediate connector rotates toward the first intermediate connector. The action part on the first intermediate connector can act to slide the locking member and disengage from the socket.
