[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Connecting pipes 14 are connected between the front cover 11 and the middle cover 12, and between the middle cover 12 and the rear cover 13. A fixing pipe 2 is fixedly installed in the middle of the connecting pipe 14. Support rods 3 are movably connected to both sides of the fixing pipe 2. A connecting rod 31 is fixedly connected to the end of the support rod 3 away from the fixing rod. The diameter of the connecting rod 31 is smaller than the diameter of the support rod 3. A connecting port communicating with the inside of the connecting pipe 14 is opened on the cover body 1. The size of the connecting port is the same as the cross-sectional area of the connecting rod 31. The connecting rod 31 extends out of the cover body 1 through the connecting port. A connecting block 32 located outside the cover body 1 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 31 away from the support rod 3. Move the two fixing tubes 2 to open the middle cover 12 of the car cover body 1. Move the support rod 3 inside the fixing tube 2 away from the fixing tube 2 to open the car cover body 1. Cover the car cover body 1 onto the car body to protect the car body. When the car cover needs to be stored, remove the car cover body 1 from the car body, retract the support rod 3 into the fixing tube 2, and the connecting block 32 drives the two sides of the car cover body 1 to tighten inward. Rotate the fixing tube 2 to roll up the car cover body 1, which makes it easy to store the car cover in the trunk of the vehicle to save space.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3The car cover body 1 has a fixed fabric tube 15 located below the connecting fabric tube 14 inside. The fixed fabric tube 15 is connected to the connecting fabric tube 14, and an elastic rope 4 is movably connected inside the fixed fabric tube 15. One end of the elastic rope 4 is sleeved on the connecting rod 31, and the other end of the elastic rope 4 extends out of the car cover body 1 through the fixed fabric tube 15. A buckle 42 is provided on the part of the elastic rope 4 extending from the car cover body 1, and a movable ring 41 is sleeved on the part of the elastic rope 4 extending from the car cover body 1. The movable ring 41 moves along the elastic rope 4, and the buckle 42 is installed on the movable ring 41. A locking piece 43 is provided at the end of the elastic rope 4 extending from the car cover body 1, which cooperates with the buckle 42. The elastic rope 4 extends out of the car cover body 1, and the buckle 42 and the locking piece 43 are connected. The elastic rope 4 between the buckle 42 and the locking piece 43 forms a ring that can be sleeved on a fixed object in the parking space or on the car tire, limiting and fixing the four corners of the car cover body 1, so that the car cover body 1 opens to protect the car body.
[0035] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 A fixing plate 21 is fixedly installed in the middle of the fixing tube 2. Elastic springs 22 are connected to both sides of the fixing plate 21. The end of the elastic spring 22 away from the fixing plate 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the support rod 3. When the elastic spring 22 is in its natural state, the support rod 3 extends out of the fixing tube 2. A limiting groove 33 is opened on the side wall of the support rod 3. A limiting chamber 5 is provided in the connecting pipe 14 and is fixedly connected to the fixing tube 2. A limiting cavity is opened in the limiting chamber 5. Two limiting holes 23 are opened on the fixing tube 2 and communicate with the limiting cavity. The position of the limiting holes 23 corresponds to the position of the limiting groove 33 on the support rod 3 when it is retracted into the fixing tube 2. Two limiting plates 51 are movably arranged in the limiting cavity. Two limiting plates 51 are respectively equipped with limiting racks 511 on opposite sides. A movable plate 52 is provided outside the vehicle cover body 1, passing through the vehicle cover body 1 and the limiting chamber 5 and extending into the limiting cavity. Movable racks 521 are respectively installed on both sides of the movable plate 52. Several meshing gears 53 are installed between the movable plate 52 and the limiting plate 51. The gears 53 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limiting chamber 5. The limiting racks 511 mesh with adjacent gears 53, and the movable racks 521 mesh with adjacent gears 53. The number of gears 53 between the movable plate 52 and the limiting plate 51 is odd. A return spring 54 is installed in the limiting chamber 5. One end of the return spring 54 is connected to the end of the movable plate 52. When the return spring 54 is in its natural state, the limiting plate 51 is inserted into the limiting groove 33, reducing the possibility of the limiting plate 51 disengaging from the limiting groove 33, thereby improving the stability of the support rod 3 in the fixed tube 2.
[0036] Push the moving plate 52 towards the fixed tube 2. The moving plate 52 drives the limiting plate 51 inserted into the limiting groove 33 to move away from the support rod 3 through several gears 53 on both sides. The return spring 54 is in a compressed state, causing the limiting plate 51 to disengage from the limiting groove 33. The compressed elastic spring 22 extends the support tube out of the fixed tube 2, opening the car cover body 1. After releasing the moving plate 52, the compressed return spring 54 will move away from the fixed tube 2. The moving plate 52 drives the limiting plate 51 towards the support rod 3 through several gears 53 on both sides, causing the limiting plate 51 to extend into the fixed tube 2. When the support tube is inserted into the fixed tube 2, the two limiting plates 51 pass through the limiting holes 23 and respectively enter the limiting grooves 33 on the two support rods 3, limiting the limiting plates 51 and reducing the possibility of the limiting plates 51 disengaging from the limiting grooves 33, thereby improving the stability of the support rod 3 in the fixed tube 2.
[0037] The implementation principle of a car cover according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: the two fixed tubes 2 are moved to open the middle cover 12 of the cover body 1. The support rod 3 inside the fixed tube 2 is moved away from the fixed tube 2 to open the cover body 1. The cover body 1 is then placed on the car body to protect the car body. When the cover needs to be stored, the cover body 1 is removed from the car body, the support rod 3 is retracted into the fixed tube 2, the connecting block 32 drives the two sides of the cover body 1 to tighten inward, and the fixed tube 2 is rotated to roll up the cover body 1, making it easy to store the car cover in the trunk of the vehicle to save space.
[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
