Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of camping equipment technology, specifically a vehicle-mounted canopy. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid popularization of leisure travel such as self-driving tours, outdoor camping, and wilderness living, station wagons have become the mainstream vehicle for outdoor travel. During long-distance self-driving trips, wilderness stops, and camping breaks, vehicles are often exposed to the open air, facing problems such as strong sunlight and wind and rain. At the same time, public washing and changing facilities are scarce outdoors. Passengers generally have a basic need for temporary shade, privacy for changing clothes, and simple open-air washing and showering when resting in their vehicles. Therefore, a multi-functional canopy that is compatible with station wagons and can be installed in the vehicle is a core component that enhances the comfort, privacy, and practicality of self-driving outdoor travel.

[0003] However, existing canopies still have the following technical problems in use:

[0004] Existing canopies are inconvenient to install and secure to vehicles quickly and easily. They are difficult to set up and have poor stability. When used in open-air environments, they offer poor privacy, which can negatively impact the traveler's experience.

[0005] Therefore, a vehicle-mounted canopy is proposed to solve the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vehicle-mounted canopy to solve the problems mentioned in the background section.
