Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of automobile accessories, and in particular relates to a folding assembly with an avoidance structure for extending automobile space and a deployment method. Background Art

[0002] When used for travel or overnight stays, family SUVs and other vehicles are limited by interior space and lack basic amenities, such as a lack of showers, which hinders the user experience. Consequently, travel parking locations are limited to campsites or parking lots with bathroom facilities, significantly reducing the convenience of overnight parking. The inconvenience caused by space limitations is even more pronounced during long-distance travel. When traveling through uninhabited areas such as the Gobi Desert and grasslands, or encountering prolonged highway congestion, access to a toilet becomes a necessity. Existing SUV solutions often rely on simple portable toilets, but these solutions are time-consuming to install, offer limited privacy, and are difficult to dispose of. Furthermore, traditional hinged toilets cannot accommodate the multiple folding of multiple panels. There is an urgent need to develop a vehicle space extension mechanism that can be assembled onto existing vehicles to expand the vehicle's interior space, providing a stable, private additional space to meet travel needs, such as overnight stays and personal toileting and showering. This would particularly address the issue of the angled top rear end of existing SUVs hindering the layout of the extension mechanism and allow for the multiple folding of square or other polygonal panels.
