Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of outdoor leisure equipment technology, and in particular to a canopy that can be attached to a camping cart. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing popularity of outdoor camping and picnics, camping carts are becoming a common tool for transporting outdoor supplies and are being used more and more frequently. Traditional camping carts mostly only have basic cargo-carrying and moving functions, and the cart itself does not have a sunshade or rain protection structure. When used in strong sunlight or rainy weather, users need to bring a tarp and a matching bracket separately to assemble it on-site. The assembly process is complicated, time-consuming, and very inconvenient to use.
[0003] Currently, most camping trolleys with built-in canopies have a fixed, welded roof support frame that cannot be disassembled. This results in a large space-consuming structure when the trolley is not in use, making storage and carrying inconvenient. Furthermore, traditional trolley sunshade brackets mostly use screws to connect the various components, leading to inefficient assembly and disassembly. The lack of quick-positioning mechanisms at the connection points results in poor overall frame stability, making it prone to wobbling and shifting after assembly. Additionally, the lack of reinforced support structures at the connection points makes them susceptible to deformation under load. Overall, the structure is not robust, has a short lifespan, and fails to meet users' practical needs for quick assembly, convenient storage, and stable use.
[0004] The technical problem that this application aims to solve is that existing camping carts have the following defects: the awning is difficult to assemble, the support structure cannot be disassembled and stored, the disassembly and assembly efficiency is low, and the overall support stability and structural strength are insufficient. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide a canopy that can be attached to a camping cart.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: a canopy that can be fitted with a camping trolley, including a frame and side support components and front and rear support components located on its sides and front and rear respectively. The frame is equipped with bottom connecting seats at its four corners. Each bottom connecting seat is detachably connected to a vertical tube, a top connecting seat and a horizontal tube in sequence. The top connecting seat is located at the top of the vertical tube. The inner end intersection of each horizontal tube is detachably connected to a central connecting seat. The top of the central connecting seat is detachably connected to an umbrella support tube, and the top of the umbrella support tube is equipped with a canopy. Each connection node between the aforementioned bottom connecting seat, vertical tube, top connecting seat, horizontal tube and central connecting seat is equipped with a ball bearing connector.
[0007] The bottom connecting seats fixed at the four corners of the frame serve as the assembly base points for the vertical support. They are then connected to the vertical tubes, the top connecting seats at the top of the vertical tubes, and the horizontally arranged tubes in sequence. The four horizontal tubes converge inward and connect to the central connecting seat. The umbrella support tubes are then installed upward from the central connecting seat to complete the installation of the top canopy. All the tubes and connecting seats are connected by spring-loaded connectors for flexible locking. Quick assembly and disassembly are achieved by relying on the spring-loaded locking mechanism. Each support tube can be disassembled and stored independently, allowing for quick assembly of the camping cart sunshade canopy. The detachable structure also reduces the storage volume. The canopy provides outdoor sun and rain protection, has high stability, and is suitable for various outdoor camping scenarios.
[0008] In some embodiments, the bottom connector is provided with a side connector and a front and rear connector that are respectively connected to the side support assembly and the front and rear support assembly. The bottom connector is also provided with a plug-in part for connecting to the ball joint connector at the top of the vertical tube. The bottom connector connects to the side support assembly through the side connector and the front and rear connector connects to the front and rear support assembly, so as to realize the stable connection between the support assembly and the four corner bases of the frame. Then, the plug-in part cooperates with the ball joint connector at the end of the vertical tube to complete the precise alignment and plugging of the vertical pole.
[0009] In some implementations, the ball bearing connectors are located at both ends of the vertical tube and the horizontal tube, as well as at the bottom of the umbrella support tube. By uniformly arranging the ball bearing connectors at both ends of the vertical tube, both ends of the horizontal tube, and the bottom of the umbrella support tube, the assembly positions are precisely aligned with the docking points of each tube, so that the ball bearings can be engaged and limited at all splicing positions, simplifying the disassembly and assembly operations.
[0010] In some embodiments, the top connector is L-shaped with an integrally formed lower fixing buckle and upper fixing buckle at both ends. The center connector includes an upper support positioning buckle and four lower support positioning buckles arranged in a cross shape at the bottom of the upper support positioning buckle. The insertion part, the lower fixing buckle, the upper fixing buckle, the upper support positioning buckle, and the upper support positioning buckle are each provided with through holes for limiting the ball connector. The L-shaped top connector completes the docking of the upper and lower pipes by relying on the integrally formed lower fixing buckles and upper fixing buckles. The center connector aligns with the umbrella support tube through the top upper support positioning buckle, and the bottom cross-shaped lower support positioning buckles simultaneously dock with the four horizontal tubes. The buckles and the through holes in the insertion part can lock and limit the ball connector, further improving the stability of the splicing structure.
[0011] In some embodiments, the side support assembly is connected to an inner connecting tube located inside the frame. The upper and lower ends of the inner connecting tube are respectively connected to the top center of the side support assembly and the bottom center of the frame. The inner connecting tube is vertically connected between the top of the side support assembly and the bottom center of the frame, forming a stable support structure inside the frame, which can effectively prevent the side support assemblies from swinging or shifting.
[0012] In some embodiments, an oblique support rib is fixed between the lower and upper fixing buckles; the oblique support rib forms oblique reinforcement support for the two fixing buckles of the top connector, dispersing the vertical and horizontal loads borne by the top connector and enhancing the overall bending and deformation resistance of the top connector.
[0013] In some embodiments, a main anti-torsion rib plate is fixed between the upper support positioning buckle and the lower support positioning buckle, and a secondary anti-torsion rib plate is fixed between two adjacent lower support positioning buckles; the main anti-torsion rib plate reinforces the central connecting seat, and the secondary anti-torsion rib plate reinforces the joint points of the surrounding horizontal pipes, thereby dispersing the torsional force and compressive force at the central connection and improving the structural strength of the central connecting seat.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: the use of ball joint connectors enables quick and easy assembly of each rod and connector, making assembly convenient and efficient. Each support component can be independently disassembled, effectively reducing storage space and facilitating carrying and home storage. The frame, combined with side and front / rear support components, forms a stable base, while the vertical and horizontal tubes form the top support frame. The central connector enables the centralized connection of multi-directional rods, resulting in even force distribution. The reinforcing ribs of the top and central connectors enhance the structural strength and torsional and deformation resistance of the connection points, preventing loosening and wobbling and improving stability. The bottom connector can simultaneously connect the vehicle body support components and vertical rods, ensuring precise and reliable assembly positioning. The addition of an internal connecting tube inside the frame further strengthens the overall support rigidity. The trolley has a built-in canopy structure, eliminating the need for additional sunshade brackets and quickly providing sun and rain protection. It is highly practical and can meet the needs of various outdoor scenarios such as outdoor camping and short trips. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a technical solution: a canopy that can be fitted with a camping cart, including a frame 1, side support components 2 and front and rear support components 3, wherein the side support components 2 are respectively assembled on the left and right sides of the frame 1, and the front and rear support components 3 are respectively assembled on the front and rear ends of the frame 1, forming the basic frame of the camping cart.
[0019] The four corners of the frame 1 are all fixedly installed with bottom connecting seats 4. The bottom connecting seats 4 serve as the basic assembly base for the upper roof support structure of the whole vehicle. Each bottom connecting seat 4 is provided with a side connecting part 41, a front and rear connecting part 42 and a plug-in part 43. The side connecting part 41 can be stably connected with the side support component 2. The front and rear connecting parts 42 can be stably connected with the front and rear support components 3, so as to realize the installation firmness of the bottom connecting seat 4 and the overall support structure of the frame. The plug-in part 43 is used to realize the docking and assembly of the upper vertical rods.
[0020] Each bottom connecting seat 4 is detachably mounted with a vertical pipe 5 via a plug-in part 43. The vertical pipe 5 is arranged vertically, and a top connecting seat 6 is installed and fixed at the top of each vertical pipe 5. The top connecting seat 6 is designed as an L-shaped structure, with a lower fixing buckle 61 and an upper fixing buckle 62 integrally formed at both ends. The lower fixing buckle 61 is used to complete the alignment connection with the top of the vertical pipe 5, and the upper fixing buckle 62 is used to connect the horizontal pipe 7 horizontally. At the same time, an oblique support rib plate 63 is set between the lower fixing buckle 61 and the upper fixing buckle 62. The oblique support structure is used to reinforce the overall structure of the top connecting seat 6, share the bending force and extrusion force generated during daily use, and prevent the top connecting seat 6 from deforming and being damaged.
[0021] The horizontally arranged transverse tubes 7 are installed via the top connecting seat 6. The four transverse tubes 7 extend from the four corners of the frame towards the center of the vehicle body. The inner ends of all the transverse tubes 7 facing the center of the vehicle body converge and connect to the central connecting seat 8, realizing the centralized and fixed convergence of the four transverse members. The central connecting seat 8 is mainly composed of an upper support positioning buckle 81 and four lower support positioning buckles 82. The four lower support positioning buckles 82 are evenly distributed in a cross shape at the bottom of the upper support positioning buckle 81, and can be inserted and fixed one by one with the four transverse tubes 7. The upper support positioning buckle 81 is set upwards for vertical connection of the umbrella support tube 9. A main anti-torsion rib plate 83 is erected between the upper support positioning buckle 81 and the lower support positioning buckle 82, and a secondary anti-torsion rib plate 84 is erected between two adjacent sets of lower support positioning buckles 82. Through the main and secondary rib plate structure, the overall structural strength and anti-torsion performance of the central connecting seat 8 are comprehensively improved, ensuring the stability of the multi-directional member connection position.
[0022] The umbrella support tube 9 is vertically mounted on the top of the central connecting seat 8. The awning 11 is fixed at the top of the umbrella support tube 9 away from the central connecting seat 8. The awning 11 is raised and erected by means of the umbrella support tube 9, so that the awning can be stably placed above the camping cart and realize the function of outdoor sunshade and rain protection.
[0023] To enable rapid assembly and disassembly of all rods and connecting seats, ball bearing connectors 10 are provided at each connection node where the bottom connecting seat 4, vertical tube 5, top connecting seat 6, horizontal tube 7, and center connecting seat 8 intersect. The ball bearing connectors 10 are uniformly installed at both ends of the vertical tube 5, both ends of the horizontal tube 7, and the bottom assembly position of the umbrella support tube 9. At the same time, through holes are provided inside the insertion part 43, the lower fixing buckle 61, the upper fixing buckle 62, and the upper support positioning buckle 81 at the docking parts for the ball bearing connectors 10 to lock and limit. During assembly, the ball bearings automatically lock and tighten by elastic expansion and contraction. During disassembly, pressing the ball bearings releases the limit, effectively simplifying the assembly and disassembly process.
[0024] The frame 1 is also equipped with an inner connecting tube 21, which is connected to the side support assembly 2. The upper and lower ends of the inner connecting tube 21 are respectively connected to the top center of the side support assembly 2 and the bottom center of the frame 1. The inner connecting tube 21 forms a vertical tension structure, which effectively prevents the side support assembly 2 from swinging or shifting, and further strengthens the lateral support strength and structural stability of the overall frame.
[0025] The working principle and usage process of this application are as follows: First, extend the side support component 2 and the front and rear support components 3. Then, assemble the vertical tube 5, the top connecting seat 6, the horizontal tube 7 and the central connecting seat 8 from bottom to top. Finally, assemble the umbrella support tube 9 and the canopy 11 and it can be put into use. When not in use, disassemble all the upper support rods and the canopy structure in reverse order. After disassembly, each component can be placed and stored separately, which greatly reduces the overall storage space occupied. The disassembly and assembly are convenient and efficient, and it can be widely adapted to various outdoor camping, outdoor travel and other usage scenarios.
[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred examples of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
