Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of outdoor camping equipment technology, specifically relating to a foldable rooftop tent with an internal upright function, suitable for installation on the roof of various passenger vehicles, meeting the living comfort needs during outdoor camping. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of outdoor camping, rooftop tents have become widely used as a type of camping equipment that does not take up vehicle interior space and is easy to carry and install. However, most folding rooftop tents on the market suffer from complex folding structures and low interior space when unfolded, making it difficult for users to stand upright inside, significantly reducing comfort. Furthermore, some rooftop tents have poor wear resistance and interlocking mechanisms in their folding components, making unfolding and storage cumbersome. Their waterproof and UV protection properties also need improvement, making them unsuitable for long-term outdoor use.

[0003] In the prior art, such as the utility model patent with publication number CN222962592U, a novel foldable rooftop tent is disclosed. This tent achieves folding and storage through a folding base plate and support mechanism. However, this tent does not solve the problem of the interior not being able to stand upright, and the linkage stability and ease of use of the support mechanism still have room for improvement. Therefore, developing a rooftop tent with a reasonable structure, convenient folding, an interior that can stand upright after unfolding, and excellent overall performance has become a technical problem urgently needing to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing folding roof tents, such as the inability to stand upright inside, cumbersome folding and storage, poor linkage stability, and insufficient overall performance. It provides a folding roof tent that can stand upright inside, so that the user can stand upright after the tent is unfolded. At the same time, it simplifies the folding and storage process, improves linkage stability, waterproof and UV protection performance, and service life.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A foldable rooftop tent that can stand upright includes a base box (32) fixedly mounted on a roof rack, a top cover (43) movably connected to the base box (32) via a hinge, and a telescopic tent (44) connected by a zipper and covering the outside of the base box (32) and the top cover (43); the telescopic tent (44) is provided with a folding assembly for folding and unfolding support; the folding assembly includes a scissor-shaped main support rod (8, 21) and an inverted scissor-shaped support rod. The long auxiliary poles (12, 17) and the short auxiliary poles (39, 34), as well as the linkage hinge structure composed of the upper diagonal pole (23), the lower diagonal pole (30), and the rear diagonal pole (27), are provided with the same connection structure on the other side of the folding assembly. They are symmetrically fixed to the other side of the bottom box (32) and the top cover (43) through the opposite linkage poles (10, 13, 19, 25). With the cooperation of multiple sets of tie rods (11, 16, 24, 29), the entire tent can be unfolded and folded.

[0006] Furthermore, the bottom box (32) is fixed to the roof rack, and the bottom box (32) is movably connected to the top cover (43) via a hinge. When the roof tent is unfolded, the top cover (43) can be flipped and suspended above the front hood of the vehicle, set at an angle and slightly extending beyond the front of the vehicle; the front of the top cover (43) is provided with a quick lock (2) for locking the bottom box (32) after the tent is stored, thus achieving fixation; the front of the top cover (43) is also provided with a movable flip bar (3), which can be used to unfold or store the flip ladder (1) to facilitate the user to climb to the top and enter and exit the tent; the top cover ( 43) The front end is connected to the sunken platform (4) via a hinge. The other end of the sunken platform (4) is provided with a sunken connecting rod assembly (5), which is folded in a scissor-like manner and connected to the front of the top cover (43). When stored, the sunken platform (4) can be flush with the plane of the top cover (43) as part of the top cover (43). When the roof tent is unfolded at an angle, the sunken platform (4) can sink down to form a standing platform inside the tent. The edge of the sunken platform (4) is provided with a telescopic tent connected to the top cover (43) to form a sealed and complete space, enabling the user to stand upright inside the tent.

[0007] Furthermore, the base box (32) and the top cover (43) are respectively connected to the main support rods (8, 21) via hinge points (38, 37) at adjacent positions. The two main support rods (8, 21) are stretched upward in a scissor-like manner and are respectively connected to the corresponding opposite linkage rods (10, 19). The base box (32) and the top cover (43) are respectively connected to the short auxiliary rods (39, 34) via hinge points (40, 35) at their relative center positions. The other end of the short auxiliary rods (39, 34) is connected to the long auxiliary rods (12, 17) via riveting points (41, 33). The other end of the two long auxiliary rods (12, 17) is connected to the long auxiliary rods (12, 17). One end is connected to the other set of opposite linkage rods (13) via a rivet point (14). The two sets of long auxiliary rods and short auxiliary rods form an inverted scissor-shaped tension structure. At the intersection of the scissor-shaped structure formed by the main support rods (8, 21) and the inverted scissor-shaped structure formed by the long auxiliary rods (12, 17) and the short auxiliary rods (34, 39), a rivet point (42, 22) is provided near the center position, which is connected to the scissor support rods (15, 18) respectively. The two scissor support rods (15, 18) are connected to each other through the rivet point (36), so that the two sets of scissor components form a stable main linkage structure with the top cover (43) and the bottom box (32).

[0008] Furthermore, the other end of one of the main support rods (8) is connected to the folding door rod (7) through a rivet point (9), and the folding door rod (7) is connected to another folding door rod (45) through a rivet point (6). The other folding door rod (45) is connected to the front end of the roof cover (43), so that the front curtain part of the roof tent is integrated into the main linkage structure, realizing the synchronization of the curtain and the overall folding action.

[0009] Furthermore, the other end of another main support rod (21) is connected to the upper inclined rod (23) through the rivet point (20), the upper inclined rod (23) is connected to the lower inclined rod (30) through the rivet point (28), and the other end of the lower inclined rod (30) is connected to the top of the bottom box (32) through the rivet point (31); the upper inclined rod (23) and the lower inclined rod (30) are connected to the rear inclined rod (27) at the rivet point (28), and the other end of the rear inclined rod (27) is connected to the corresponding opposite side linkage rod (25) through the rivet point (26), so that the rear part of the roof tent is integrated into the main linkage structure, and the rear part of the tent is synchronized with the overall folding action.

[0010] Furthermore, the telescopic tent (44) body is made of waterproof and wear-resistant fabric with an anti-ultraviolet coating on the surface of the fabric. The edges of the tent body are equipped with sealing strips to improve the tent's waterproof, anti-ultraviolet and sealing performance. The tent body also has storage bags and hooks inside for storing outdoor supplies, improving ease of use. A ventilation window is provided on one side of the tent body, and an insect-proof net is provided on the ventilation window to achieve the dual effect of ventilation and insect prevention.

[0011] Furthermore, each hinge point of the folding assembly is equipped with a wear-resistant bushing made of engineering plastic to reduce wear at the hinge points and extend the service life of the folding assembly; each support rod and connecting rod is made of lightweight, high-strength aluminum alloy to reduce the overall weight of the tent and facilitate folding, storage, and installation; multiple sets of tie rods (11, 16, 24, 29) are connected to key nodes of the folding assembly to improve the structural stability and safety of the tent after it is unfolded.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) By optimizing the structure of the folding component, combining the scissor-shaped, inverted scissor-shaped linkage structure and the inclined rod hinge structure, the present invention enables the interior space height of the tent to meet the user's upright needs after it is unfolded, solving the pain point of the existing rooftop tents being low and unable to stand upright, and greatly improving the user's comfort. At the same time, the design of the sunken platform does not affect the volume of the tent after it is stored, and can form a dedicated standing platform after it is unfolded, further optimizing the user experience.

[0013] (2) The folding components adopt a symmetrical linkage design, with multiple sets of bracing and wear-resistant bushings, so that the tent unfolding and folding actions are synchronized and smooth, and the operation is convenient. At the same time, it improves the structural stability and wear resistance, and extends the product service life. Each support rod and connecting rod is made of lightweight high-strength aluminum alloy material, which effectively reduces the overall weight, makes it easy to install and carry, and is suitable for the roof of various passenger vehicles.

[0014] (3) The tent body is made of waterproof and wear-resistant fabric and is equipped with UV-resistant coating and sealing strips. Combined with ventilation windows with insect nets, it takes into account waterproof, UV-resistant, sealing and ventilation insect prevention functions, adapts to complex outdoor environments and improves the overall performance of the tent. The design of internal storage bags and hooks further improves the ease of use.

[0015] (4) The overall structure is reasonably designed, the size is small after folding, it is firmly fixed, and the space is sufficient and the stability is strong after unfolding. It not only retains the advantage of the roof tent not occupying the interior space of the vehicle, but also solves many defects of existing products. It is highly practical and has a wide range of application value. Attached Figure Description
