Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tent technology, and more particularly to a transparent rooftop tent. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve, activities such as self-driving tours and outdoor camping are becoming increasingly popular. When camping outdoors, rooftop tents have become the first choice for many camping enthusiasts due to their ease of installation, space-saving features, and high safety.
[0003] Traditional rooftop tents typically use opaque materials for the roof, preventing campers from directly enjoying the natural scenery outside, such as the starry sky and mountains, greatly reducing the enjoyment and experience of camping. People need to step out of the tent to appreciate the view, which can be inconvenient in cold, rainy, or nighttime conditions. In addition, some rooftop tents are not securely connected when folding up.
[0004] To address this issue, a transparent rooftop tent is designed to provide an alternative technical solution. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a transparent rooftop tent to address the aforementioned technical problems, such as the inconvenience of directly viewing the scenery outside the tent from inside, and the insufficient stability of some rooftop tents during storage and connection.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A transparent rooftop tent, comprising:
[0008] The base plate is a frame structure, and the base plate is fitted and installed in the frame structure. A first fabric mounting groove is provided on the upper part of the base plate.
[0009] The top cover consists of a frame structure, a transparent top shell, a sunshade fabric, and a waterproof strip. The frame structure has a second fabric mounting groove, a sunshade fabric mounting groove, a transparent top shell mounting groove, a latch groove, and a waterproof strip groove. The transparent top shell is embedded in the transparent top shell mounting groove, the sunshade fabric is installed in the sunshade fabric mounting groove, and the waterproof strip is installed in the waterproof strip groove.

[0011] The fabric surface is connected to the second fabric surface mounting groove of the top cover via the first fabric surface mounting groove of the base plate.
[0012] A support rod, the upper part of which is connected to the top cover and the lower part of which is connected to the bottom plate;
[0013] A concealed locking mechanism is used to connect the base plate and the top cover.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the transparent rooftop tent provided by the present invention, the frame structure is further provided with a light strip groove for mounting a light strip.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the transparent rooftop tent provided by the present invention, the frame structure is composed of four-sided profiles connected to four corners, and the transparent roof mounting groove is opened inside the top vertical direction of the frame structure, and hook teeth are evenly distributed and fixed inside the transparent roof mounting groove.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the transparent rooftop tent provided by the present invention, the frame structure has a cross-section in the shape of a "┌".
[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the transparent roof tent provided by the present invention, the transparent roof shell is an integrated central arched structure. The transparent roof shell is composed of a central arched structure and a vertical lower edge. The dimension of the vertical lower edge corresponds to the transparent roof shell mounting groove of the frame structure for interlocking assembly installation.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the transparent rooftop tent provided by the present invention, the hinge mechanism includes a first fixing plate, the top of which is fixed to the frame structure, a second fixing plate at the bottom of the first fixing plate, the bottom of which is fixed to the base plate, a second connecting rod rotatably connected to the inner side of one top end of the second fixing plate, the top of which is slidably connected to the first fixing plate, and a first connecting rod slidably connected to the inner side of the other top end of the second fixing plate.

The sunshade installation groove 27 is located at the end of the light strip groove 28 away from the sunshade fabric installation groove 29 and is used to position the sunshade.
[0051] The frame structure 5 is composed of four-sided profiles connected to four corners. The transparent top shell mounting groove 25 is opened inside the top vertical direction of the frame structure 5 and is used to connect the transparent top shell 7. The transparent top shell mounting groove 25 is evenly distributed with fixed hook teeth inside.
[0052] The transparent top shell 7 is an integrated central arched structure. The transparent top shell 7 is composed of a central arched structure and a vertical lower edge. The dimensions of the vertical lower edge correspond to the transparent top shell mounting groove 25 of the frame structure 5, which is used for interlocking assembly.
[0053] Hinge mechanism 3, the upper part of hinge mechanism 3 is connected to top cover 2, and the lower part of hinge mechanism 3 is connected to base plate 1.
[0054] The hinge mechanism 3 includes a first fixed plate 8, the top of which is fixed to the frame structure 5. A second fixed plate 9 is provided at the bottom of the first fixed plate 8, and the bottom of the second fixed plate 9 is fixed to the base plate 1. A second connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected to the inner side of one top end of the second fixed plate 9. The top of the second connecting rod 11 is slidably connected to the first fixed plate 8, so that the second connecting rod 11 can rotate and translate inside the first fixed plate 8 via a shaft. A first connecting rod 10 is slidably connected to the inner side of the other top end of the second fixed plate 9, so that the first connecting rod 10 can rotate and translate inside the second fixed plate 9 via a shaft. The first connecting rod 10 and the second connecting rod 11 are rotatably connected, thereby enabling the first connecting rod 10 and the second connecting rod 11 to be adjusted synchronously. The top of the first connecting rod 10 is rotatably connected to the first fixed plate 8, thereby enabling the first fixed plate 8 and the second fixed plate 9 to achieve the limit of opening and closing stroke through the cooperation of the first connecting rod 10 and the second connecting rod 11.
[0055] Fabric 4 is installed and connected by the first fabric mounting groove of the base plate 1 and the second fabric mounting groove of the top cover 2, so that the fabric 4 is a foldable material. When the base plate 1 and the top cover 2 are closed, the fabric 4 can be folded. When the base plate 1 and the top cover 2 are open, the fabric 4 can be stretched out and can be inserted into the fabric 4.
[0056] In other embodiments, an elastic rod can be fixed on the inside of the fabric 4 to achieve the shaping of the frame structure 5 after it is opened.
[0057] The upper part of the support rod 6 is connected to the top cover 2, and the lower part of the support rod 6 is connected to the bottom plate 1.
[0058] A concealed locking mechanism for connecting the base plate 1 and the top cover 2 includes:
[0059] Lock hook 12 is installed on the upper part of the base plate 1;
[0060] The main body 13 is installed inside the top cover 2 and is used to receive external force from the user to drive the locking tongue 14 to move horizontally;
[0061] The locking tongue 14 is installed in the locking tongue groove 26 provided in the top cover 2. The locking tongue 14 is driven to move horizontally in the locking tongue groove 26 by the external force received by the main body 13. The position of one end of the locking tongue 14 corresponds to the locking position of the locking hook 12, and the position of the other end of the locking tongue 14 corresponds to the unlocking position of the locking hook 12.
[0062] In this embodiment, the concealed locking mechanism is a standard component on the market. It can move inside the frame structure 5 to control the connection or opening between the bottom plate 1 and the top cover 2.
[0063] In other embodiments, the concealed locking mechanism, with the main body 13 and the locking tongue 14 mounted on the base plate 1 and the locking hook 12 mounted on the top cover 2, still falls within the protection scope of this invention.
[0064] In this embodiment, each structure has its own service life. In actual manufacturing and application, the corresponding structure made of different materials can be replaced according to the needs of use.
[0065] The process of using a transparent rooftop tent provided by the present invention is as follows: When in use, the movement of the main body 13 drives the locking tongue 14 to move horizontally, so that the locking tongue 14 disengages from the locking hook 12. At this time, the frame structure 5 is pulled and the support rod 6 is activated, so that the frame structure 5 drives the top cover 2 to open on the top of the base plate 1. The hinge mechanism 3 is adjusted with the connection position as the center of rotation, and the opening of the top cover 2 on the top of the base plate 1 drives the fabric 4 to open, so that the outside can be viewed through the transparent material of the transparent top shell 7.
[0066] Example 2
[0067] refer to Figures 9-12 Based on the above-described Embodiment 1, this is disclosed;
[0068] An adjusting member is installed at one end of the frame structure 5 to drive the main body 13 to move, thereby enabling the main body 13 to slide and move in and out of the locking tongue 14. When working outside the frame structure 5, the adjusting member is used to drive the main body 13 to move in and out. A braking member is also installed inside the frame structure 5 to limit the position of the adjusting member on the frame structure 5. The position of the driving plate 19 in the adjusting member is limited by the braking member.
[0069] The adjusting component includes a synchronizing block 15. A synchronizing block 15 is located on the outer side of the hinge mechanism 3 and at one end of the main body 13. A drive plate 19 is rotatably connected to one end of the synchronizing block 15, allowing the drive plate 19 to move closer to or away from the hinge mechanism 3 through this rotatable connection. The drive plate 19 also drives the synchronizing block 15 to rotate. A positioning frame 20 is fixed to the side of the drive plate 19 closest to the hinge mechanism 3 and at the end furthest from the synchronizing block 15. The positioning frame 20 is concave and slidably connected to the hinge mechanism 3, allowing it to enter the interior of the hinge mechanism 3. A synchronizing plate 16 is fixed to one side of the synchronizing block 15. The synchronizing plate 16 is rectangular and located inside the hinge mechanism 3 and at the synchronizing block 15. A rotating hole is provided on the outer side of the plate 16, allowing the synchronous plate 16 to rotate within the hinge mechanism 3. A transmission block 17 is slidably connected to the side of the synchronous plate 16 away from the synchronous block 15, and the synchronous plate 16 is connected to the transmission block 17 by screws, so that the rotation of the synchronous plate 16 drives the transmission block 17 to rotate synchronously, and the rotation of the synchronous plate 16 will not disengage from the connecting screws within the transmission block 17. A rotating rod 18 is rotatably connected to one end of the transmission block 17, and the rotating rod 18 is rotatably connected to the main body 13, so that the rotation of the transmission block 17 within the hinge mechanism 3 drives the rotating rod 18 to rotate and move, and the rotation and movement of the rotating rod 18 drives the main body 13 to translate within the hinge mechanism 3, thereby moving the locking tongue 14.
[0070] The braking component includes a limiting block 21, a return spring 22, and a braking block 23. The limiting block 21 is slidably connected inside the hinge mechanism 3 at the end of the positioning frame 20 away from the synchronizing block 15, so that the limiting block 21 can be pulled and slid from the outside of the hinge mechanism 3. The return spring 22 is fixed inside one end of the limiting block 21, so that the translation of the limiting block 21 inside the hinge mechanism 3 causes the return spring 22 to compress. When the force applied to the limiting block 21 is released, the limiting block 21 rebounds and resets after being compressed by the return spring 22. The braking block 23 is fixed at the end of the limiting block 21 near the positioning frame 20. A pressing slope 24 is opened on one side of the braking block 23, so that when the drive plate 19 drives the positioning frame 20 into the interior of the hinge mechanism 3, the positioning frame 20 presses the braking block 23 inside the hinge mechanism 3 through the pressing slope 24, and then enters the interior of the positioning frame 20 through the braking block 23, so that the drive plate 19 cannot directly pull and drive the positioning frame 20 out of the hinge mechanism 3.
[0071] The usage process of the transparent rooftop tent provided by this invention is as follows: During use, by pushing the limiting block 21, the movement of the limiting block 21 within the frame structure 5 compresses the return spring 22. This movement of the limiting block 21 causes the brake block 23 to disengage from the positioning frame 20. Then, the drive plate 19 is pulled. When the drive plate 19, through its rotational connection with the synchronization block 15, causes the positioning frame 20 to disengage from the frame structure 5, the pushed limiting block 21 can be released. Then, the drive plate 19 is pulled to rotate the synchronization block 15, allowing the rotation of the synchronization block 15 to be transmitted through the synchronization plate 19. 6 drives the transmission block 17 to rotate, and the rotation of the transmission block 17 drives the main body 13 to translate inside the frame structure 5 through the rotating rod 18 connected to it. The movement of the main body 13 drives the locking tongue 14 to translate, so that the locking tongue 14 disengages from the locking hook 12. At this time, the frame structure 5 is pulled and the support rod 6 works, so that the frame structure 5 drives the top cover 2 to open on the top of the base plate 1. The rotation is adjusted by using the connection position of the hinge mechanism 3 as the center of rotation, and the opening of the top cover 2 on the top of the base plate 1 drives the fabric 4 to open, so that the outside can be viewed through the transparent material of the transparent top shell 7.
