Each turning pull rope 19 needs to be wound around the two fixed pulleys of the deflecting fixed pulley to create a 90-degree bend. Those skilled in the art can set the pull ropes 19 according to the direction of this application. The upper and middle pull ropes on each protective curtain 12 are locked to the upper pull rope 19 after passing through the first pull rope positioning component 22, and the two upper pull ropes 19 are then fixed to the pull lines of the pulley reel 16.

[0020] The side panel 1 of the vehicle body is provided with a door 5 and a window 4. The courtyard wall panel 3 is provided with a gate hole 10 and a window hole 8. The frame of the side panel 1, the door frame of the door 5, and the window frame of the window 4 are all protruding. In the first state, the courtyard wall panel 3 and the rocker arm 2 are embedded in the frame of the side panel 1, and the frame of the courtyard wall panel 3, the rocker arm 2, and the side panel 1 are flush. The gate hole 10 is fitted outside the door frame of the door 5, and the window hole 8 is fitted outside the window frame of the window 4. The inner side of the courtyard wall panel 3 is provided with a gate 14 and a window 15. One side of each gate 14 and window 15 is connected to the courtyard wall panel 3, and the other side of the gate 14 and window 15 can extend or rotate out to close the gate hole 10 or the window hole 8 respectively. The movable side of the gate 14 and window 15 is provided with a locking structure connected to the courtyard wall panel 3. For example: the courtyard window 15 is set so that one side is connected to the rotating edge of the courtyard wall panel 3, and the other side of the courtyard window 15 is connected to the courtyard wall panel 3 by a latch. The courtyard gate 14 is set as a soft curtain door. The upper and lower sides of the soft curtain door are inserted with sliding rods, which are fixed to the courtyard wall panel 3. One side of the soft curtain door is fixed to the courtyard wall panel 3, and the other side of the soft curtain door is connected to the courtyard wall panel 3 by a hook. Before the courtyard wall panel 3 is folded up, the courtyard window 15 and the courtyard gate 14 are opened to be close to the courtyard wall panel 3 and the courtyard window hole 8 and the courtyard gate hole 10 are fully exposed.

[0021] The lower part of the yard wall panel 3 is equipped with an adjustable telescopic rod 9 that extends downwards from the yard wall panel 3. The telescopic rod 9 can be a pin, and the yard wall panel 3 has multiple locking positions for the pin. The shorter the extension length of the telescopic rod 9, the lower the height that the yard wall panel 3 can be lowered, and the farther the yard wall panel 3 is from the side panel 1 of the vehicle body, the larger the yard.

[0022] The side panel 1 of the vehicle body is provided with a positioning protrusion 7, and the positioning protrusion 7 is provided with a positioning hole. The yard wall panel 3 is provided with a positioning window 11, and a positioning pin is provided inside the positioning window 11.

The side panel 1 of the vehicle body is provided with multiple positioning holes 6, and the yard wall panel is provided with positioning pins that correspond one-to-one with the positioning holes 6. When the side panel of the vehicle body and the yard wall panel are in the first state, the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole 6. When the top surface of the positioning hole is inclined, when the positioning pin touches the inclined surface and moves towards the positioning hole, the inclined surface can lift the positioning pin, so that the positioning pin automatically slides into the positioning hole.

[0023] Where there are gaps between the yard wall panel 3 and the protective curtain 12 and the ground, a patching curtain 13 is installed. For example, a tire groove is installed on the yard wall panel 3 (to prevent the yard wall panel 3 from interfering with the tires of the vehicle after it is folded up), and a patching curtain 13 is installed at the tire groove position.

[0024] Instructions for use: When the yard is needed, release the cable from the reel 16, rotate the rocker arm 2, causing the yard wall panel 3 to extend and descend simultaneously, directly supporting it on the ground. During this process, the cable from the reel 16 releases the cable, and the pull ropes 19 of the protective curtain 12 extend, unfolding the curtain 12. When the yard is not needed, retract the cable from the reel 16, rotate the rocker arm 2 in the opposite direction, causing the yard wall panel 3 to rise and retract towards the side panel 1 of the vehicle. The pull ropes 19 of the protective curtain 12 retract until the yard wall panel 3 is completely retracted onto the side panel 1 of the vehicle. A handle or motor for controlling the rotation of the rocker arm can be installed on the side panel 1 of the vehicle. Alternatively, the rocker arm 2 can be manually rotated, or it can be manually rotated at a small angle first, after which the rocker arm 2 rotates automatically under the weight of the yard wall panel 3 and the rocker arm 2. The rotation of the rocker arm 2 is controlled by the retraction and extension of the reel 16.
