Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automobile supplies, in particular to a foldable roof tent. Background Art

[0002] With economic development, the number of private cars is gradually increasing, and self-driving tours have become an increasingly popular way of traveling. To improve the convenience of self-driving tours, the development of car accessories that can be used for self-driving tours has become an emerging market. Rooftop tents have therefore emerged. When in use, rooftop tents are directly installed on the roof rack, unlike traditional tents that are close to the ground.

[0003] One type of rooftop tent is a rotating, folding type that can be flipped open or closed. It typically consists of two base panels connected by a single hinge, with the tent fabric attached to the edges. When folded, the tent fabric simply tucks away between the two panels. However, if the vehicle is exposed to rain or humid weather, the tent fabric can easily seep in, accumulate water, and even develop mold and odor. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a foldable roof tent, which solves the problem of insufficient waterproof ability of the roof tent in the folded state.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a foldable roof tent, including a tent cloth and a support rod mechanism for supporting the tent cloth, and also including a first base plate, an intermediate plate, and a second base plate, the support rod mechanism being connected to at least one of the first base plate, the intermediate plate, and the second base plate, the support rod mechanism including an intermediate frame body, the intermediate frame body being hinged to the first base plate, the second base plate including a bottom plate and vertical plates, the vertical plates being connected to three side edges of the second base plate, the vertical plates forming a notch as a whole, the edge of the bottom plate located at the notch being hinged to one side edge of the intermediate plate, and the first base plate being rotatably connected to the other side edge of the intermediate plate; the foldable roof tent can switch between an unfolded state and a folded state;

[0006] When in the folded state, an accommodating space is formed between the first substrate, the intermediate frame, the vertical plate and the bottom plate; when in the unfolded state, an angle between the intermediate frame and the first substrate is an acute angle.

[0007] Through the above technical solution, when in the folded state, a storage space is formed between the first base plate, the middle frame, and the second base plate. The docking relationship between the first base plate and the middle frame, as well as the docking relationship between the middle frame and the vertical plate, enhances the waterproof effect. In the folded state, rainwater from top to bottom and rainwater flying from the sides cannot enter the storage space in the folded state, thereby avoiding the problem of water accumulation on the tent cloth due to rain and humid weather.

[0008] Furthermore, the vertical plates connected to the respective side edges of the second base plate are of equal height, and the edge of one side of the intermediate frame that is biased toward the second base plate is located in the same spatial plane.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, the overall structure of the vertical plate and the edge structure of the middle frame facing the second substrate are simpler; in the folded state, the force between the vertical plate and the middle frame is more even, avoiding the situation where gaps due to uneven force lead to water seepage.

[0010] Furthermore, a first sealing strip is provided on the side of the intermediate frame close to the first substrate, and the first sealing strip is used to fit and seal with the first substrate; a second sealing strip is provided on the top of the vertical plate, and the second sealing strip is used to fit and seal with the intermediate frame.

[0011] With the above technical solution, when in the folded state, the first sealing strip is deformed and closely adheres to the first substrate, and the second sealing strip is deformed and closely adheres to the second substrate, further enhancing the waterproof effect.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a first damping device, the two ends of which are respectively rotatably connected to the first substrate and the second substrate; when in the unfolded state, the rotation center position of the first substrate and the middle plate and the rotation center position of the middle plate and the second substrate are both located between the two ends of the first damping device.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, during the overall folding of the roof tent, the first damping device can play a damping role to avoid the first base plate, the intermediate frame and the second base plate from forming a smashing effect, thereby avoiding plastic deformation and damage, so that the sealing between the first base plate and the intermediate frame or between the intermediate frame and the second base plate of the roof tent in the folded state is destroyed, and water seepage still occurs in rainy and humid weather.

[0014] Furthermore, a connecting seat is provided on the middle plate; it also includes a pull rope and a second damping device, the two ends of the pull rope are respectively connected to the first base plate and the connecting seat, one end of the second damping device is rotatably connected to the connecting seat, and the other end of the second damping device is rotatably connected to the second base plate; in the unfolded state, the pull rope and the second damping device are both arranged obliquely.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the setting of the pull rope ensures that when the roof tent is in the unfolded state, the pull rope and the connecting seat bear part of the gravity of the first base plate, making the use state of the first base plate more stable. The obliquely arranged second damping device forms a tensioning effect between the connecting seat and the second base plate, making the unfolded state more stable; during the overall folding process of the roof tent, the second damping device plays a damping role, further making the folding process smoother.

[0016] Furthermore, the support rod mechanism also includes a first U-shaped support rod, which is fixedly connected to the middle plate; when in the folded state, the first U-shaped support rod is accommodated on the inner side of the middle frame.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the roof tent has a more compact structure when in a folded state, and its volume is reduced, thereby reducing wind resistance during driving.

[0018] Furthermore, the support rod mechanism includes a second U-shaped support rod, which is rotatably connected to the second base plate; when in the folded state, the second U-shaped support rod is accommodated inside each vertical plate.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, the roof tent has a more compact structure when in a folded state, and its volume is reduced, thereby reducing wind resistance during driving.

[0020] Furthermore, the bottom plate includes a plurality of strip plates arranged at intervals, one side of the strip plate is provided with a first side wall and a first protrusion connected to each other, and the other side of the strip plate is provided with a second side wall and a second protrusion connected to each other; the first protrusion on one strip plate and the second protrusion on the other strip plate are staggered in height, and a curved water leakage channel is formed between the two adjacent strip plates.

[0021] Through the above technical solution, if the roof-top tent is folded after being used on a rainy day and the tent cloth is not air-dried, moisture will inevitably remain in the storage space of the roof-top tent. The provision of the water leakage channel allows the moisture in the storage space to be discharged downward under the action of gravity. Moreover, during driving, the water leakage channel allows air to flow, accelerating the evaporation of moisture, thereby preventing the tent cloth from accumulating water for a long time and causing mold and odor.

[0022] Furthermore, between two adjacent strip plates, the sum of the protruding distance of the first protruding portion and the protruding distance of the second protruding portion is greater than the horizontal distance between the first side wall and the second side wall.

[0023] Through the above technical solution, when observing from an upward perspective, only one of the ends of the first protrusion and the second protrusion between two adjacent strip plates can be seen. The end of the first protrusion covers the end of the second protrusion, or the end of the second protrusion covers the end of the first protrusion, making it more difficult for various external dirt to enter the roof tent.

[0038] refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 A foldable roof tent includes a tent cloth 10 and a support rod mechanism for supporting the tent cloth 10, and also includes a first base plate 1, an intermediate plate 2, and a second base plate 3. The support rod mechanism is connected to at least one of the first base plate 1, the intermediate plate 2, and the second base plate 3. The support rod mechanism includes an intermediate frame 111, which is hinged to the first base plate 1. The second base plate 3 includes a bottom plate 31 and vertical plates 32. The vertical plates 32 are connected to three side edges of the second base plate 3. The vertical plates 32 form a notch 33 as a whole. The edge of the bottom plate 31 located at the notch 33 is hinged to one side edge of the intermediate plate 2, and the first base plate 1 is rotatably connected to the other side edge of the intermediate plate 2. The foldable roof tent can switch between an unfolded state and a folded state.

[0039] When in the folded state, an accommodating space is formed between the first substrate 1, the intermediate frame 111, the vertical plate 32 and the bottom plate 31; when in the unfolded state, the angle between the intermediate frame 111 and the first substrate 1 is an acute angle.

[0040] When in the folded state, a storage space is formed between the first substrate 1, the intermediate frame 111, and the second substrate 3. The docking relationship between the first substrate 1 and the intermediate frame 111, and the docking relationship between the intermediate frame 111 and the vertical plate 32 enhance the waterproof effect; in the folded state, rainwater from top to bottom and rainwater flying from the sides cannot enter the storage space in the folded state, avoiding the problem of water accumulation on the tent cloth 10 due to rain and humid weather.

[0041] The bottom plate 31 is rectangular as a whole, the vertical plate 32 is surrounded by three sides as a whole, and the gap 33 refers to the space between the two ends of the vertical plate 32.

[0042] Preferably, the middle frame 111 is also in a three-sided surrounding shape. When in the folded state, each part of the middle frame 111 abuts against the three side edges of the first substrate 1, so that the accommodating space is larger.

[0043] The vertical plates 32 connected to the respective side edges of the second base plate 3 are at the same height, and the edge of the intermediate frame 111 that is biased toward the second base plate 3 is located in the same spatial plane.

[0044] The overall structure of the vertical plate 32 and the edge structure of the middle frame 111 facing the second base plate 3 are simpler; in the folded state, the force between the vertical plate 32 and the middle frame 111 is more even, avoiding the situation where gaps due to uneven force lead to water seepage.

[0045] The spatial plane in this article is a virtual concept and is not drawn in the drawings, which means that the side edge of the intermediate frame 111 that is biased towards the second base plate 3 is adapted to the vertical plates 32 of the same height.

[0046] A first sealing strip 4 is provided on the side of the intermediate frame 111 close to the first substrate 1 for sealing with the first substrate 1 ; a second sealing strip 5 is provided on the top of the vertical plate 32 for sealing with the intermediate frame 111 .

[0047] When in the folded state, the first sealing strip 4 is deformed and closely adheres to the first substrate 1 , and the second sealing strip 5 is deformed and closely adheres to the second substrate 3 , further enhancing the waterproof effect.

[0048] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 The roof tent also includes a first damping device 6, the two ends of which are rotatably connected to the first base plate 1 and the second base plate 3 respectively; when in the unfolded state, the rotation center position of the first base plate 1 and the middle plate 2 and the rotation center position of the middle plate 2 and the second base plate 3 are both located between the two ends of the first damping device 6.

[0049] During the overall folding process of the roof tent, the first damping device 6 can play a damping role to prevent the first substrate 1, the intermediate frame 111 and the second substrate 3 from forming a smashing effect, and to avoid plastic deformation and damage, so that the sealing between the first substrate 1 and the intermediate frame 111 or between the intermediate frame 111 and the second substrate 3 of the roof tent in the folded state is destroyed, and water seepage still occurs in rainy and humid weather.

[0050] A connecting seat 7 is provided on the middle plate 2; it also includes a pull rope 8 and a second damping device 9, the two ends of the pull rope 8 are respectively connected to the first base plate 1 and the connecting seat 7, one end of the second damping device 9 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 7, and the other end of the second damping device 9 is rotatably connected to the second base plate 3; in the unfolded state, the pull rope 8 and the second damping device 9 are both arranged obliquely.

[0051] The setting of the pull rope 8 ensures that when the roof tent is in the unfolded state, the pull rope 8 and the connecting seat 7 bear part of the gravity of the first base plate 1, making the use state of the first base plate 1 more stable. The obliquely arranged second damping device 9 forms a tensioning effect between the connecting seat 7 and the second base plate 3, making the unfolded state more stable; during the overall folding of the roof tent, the second damping device 9 plays a damping role, further making the folding process smoother.

[0052] Preferably, the pull rope 8 is a steel wire rope.

[0053] Preferably, two pull ropes 8, connecting seats 7 and second damping devices 9 are symmetrically provided, so that the roof tent is subjected to more uniform force during the process of unfolding and closing.

[0054] Preferably, the first damping device 6 and the second damping device 9 are both gas springs.

[0055] refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 5 The support rod mechanism also includes a first U-shaped support rod 112, which is fixedly connected to the middle plate 2; when in the folded state, the first U-shaped support rod 112 is accommodated on the inner side of the middle frame 111.

[0056] This makes the roof tent more compact when in folded state, reduces volume, and reduces wind resistance during driving.

[0057] The support rod mechanism includes a second U-shaped support rod 113 , which is rotatably connected to the second base plate 3 . When in the folded state, the second U-shaped support rod 113 is accommodated inside each vertical plate 32 .

[0058] This makes the roof tent more compact when in folded state, reduces volume, and reduces wind resistance during driving.

[0059] refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 7 The bottom plate 31 includes a plurality of strip plates 311 arranged at intervals, and a first side wall 3111 and a first protrusion 3112 are provided on one side of the strip plate 311, and a second side wall 3113 and a second protrusion 3114 are provided on the other side of the strip plate 311; the first protrusion 3112 on one strip plate 311 and the second protrusion 3114 on another strip plate 311 are staggered in height, and a curved water leakage channel 312 is formed between the two adjacent strip plates 311.

[0060] If the rooftop tent is folded after being used on a rainy day without air-drying the tent cloth 10, moisture will inevitably remain in the storage space of the rooftop tent. The provision of the water leakage channel 312 allows the moisture in the storage space to be discharged downward under the action of gravity. In addition, during driving, the water leakage channel 312 allows air to flow, accelerating the evaporation of moisture, thereby preventing the tent cloth 10 from accumulating water for a long time and causing mold and odor.

[0061] Between two adjacent strip plates 311 , the sum of the protruding distances of the first protruding portion 3112 and the protruding distances of the second protruding portion 3114 is greater than the horizontal distance between the first side wall 3111 and the second side wall 3113 .

[0062] When viewed from above, only one of the ends of the first protrusion 3112 and the second protrusion 3114 between two adjacent strip panels 311 can be seen. The end of the first protrusion 3112 blocks the end of the second protrusion 3114, or the end of the second protrusion 3114 blocks the end of the first protrusion 3112, making it more difficult for various external dirt to enter the roof tent.

[0063] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention description and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
