Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a modular vehicle camping tent based on magnetic connection, and more specifically, to a modular vehicle camping tent that can be configured into single-module, double-module, and triple-module usage modes according to the number of vehicles, the number of users, and the space requirements of the campsite, belonging to the field of outdoor camping equipment technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of self-driving travel, outdoor camping, and multi-person car travel activities, the car camping method, which uses vehicles as a base to create temporary rest, communication, and outdoor activity spaces around the vehicles, is gradually being applied.

[0003] Existing vehicle-mounted tents are typically used in conjunction with a single vehicle, creating a sheltered space around the vehicle using a flexible canopy and supporting structure to meet basic needs such as rest, dining, and outdoor activities. However, existing vehicle-mounted tents are usually used as relatively independent units, with each vehicle and tent having a relatively fixed usable area and space size after unfolding. When the number of campers or vehicles increases, the activity space provided by a single vehicle-mounted tent is limited. In the case of multiple people and vehicles camping together, multiple independent tents are usually required, and the lack of an overall combination between the tents easily leads to separate usable areas, making it difficult to form a continuous vehicle-mounted camping space according to the number of vehicles and the scale of the activity.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a vehicle-mounted tent that can be used both individually and in combination, so that a single tent can independently form a basic vehicle-mounted camping space, while also being able to form a dual-module or multi-module combination with other tents through modular assembly, in order to adapt to different numbers of vehicles, people, and the scale of outdoor activities. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems of relatively limited usage modes, fixed space sizes, and lack of overall integration between multiple tents in multi-person, multi-vehicle camping scenarios. This invention provides a modular, magnetically connected vehicle camping tent. The vehicle tent is configured as an independently usable main tent module with detachable expansion connectors. Different tent modules can be directly connected or indirectly magnetically combined using the expansion connectors. Depending on the number of tent modules and vehicles, this system can form single-module, two-module, and three-module configurations, allowing the vehicle camping space to be configured in different ways to meet various usage needs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: A modular, combined vehicle-mounted camping tent based on magnetic attraction includes at least one tent main module. Each tent main module includes a flexible tent fabric body, a support structure for supporting the flexible tent fabric body, a vehicle connection part for connecting with a vehicle, and a module connection area for connecting with adjacent tent main modules. The module connection area is provided with a magnetic attraction component, which includes multiple magnetic units spaced apart along the edge of the module connection area. Each magnetic unit is covered with a flexible, wear-resistant protective sleeve, and the spacing between adjacent magnetic units is 5cm to 15cm. When adjacent tent main modules are combined, the corresponding module connection areas are brought close together and connected by the magnetic attraction between the magnetic attraction components. It also includes a... The independently detachable extension connection part has a third connection edge on both sides. The structure of the third connection edge is consistent with the structure of the module connection area. Magnetic connection components are also mounted on the third connection edge of the extension connection part. The extension connection part can connect between the module connection areas of two tent main modules. One side of the third connection edge magnetically engages with the module connection area of ​​one tent main module, and the other side of the third connection edge magnetically engages with the module connection area of ​​the other tent main module. This increases the assembly spacing between the tent main modules and supports various splicing combinations. The tent main modules can form single-module usage mode, two-module combination mode, and three-module combination mode depending on the number of modules involved in the combination.

[0007] Preferably, in the single-module usage mode, a tent main module is connected to a vehicle via a vehicle connection part. The flexible tent body forms an independent vehicle-mounted camping shelter space under the support of the support structure. The bottom edge of the tent main module is provided with ground peg rings and windproof rope connection points for fixing to the ground. The ground peg rings are distributed at intervals along the bottom edge.

[0008] Preferably, in the dual-module combination mode, the first tent main module and the second tent main module are respectively configured to cooperate with a corresponding vehicle; the corresponding module connection areas of the first tent main module and the second tent main module are close to each other and are connected by magnetic connection components set in the corresponding module connection areas, or indirectly magnetically connected by the third connection edge of the extended connection part, so that the first tent main module and the second tent main module together constitute a dual-module combined vehicle camping space, and a connecting passage for personnel to pass through is formed at the connection position of the first tent main module and the second tent main module, and the height of the connecting passage is not less than 1.8m.

[0009] Preferably, in the three-module combination mode, the first tent main module, the second tent main module, and the third tent main module are each configured to work with a corresponding vehicle; the first tent main module, the second tent main module, and the third tent main module are arranged radially around the same central intersection area, and form a T-shaped layout based on a top-down view: the first tent main module and the second tent main module are positioned laterally opposite each other on the left and right sides of the central intersection area, and the third tent main module is positioned longitudinally above the central intersection area and in the middle of the first tent main module and the second tent main module; the module connection areas of the three are adjacent to each other in the central intersection area; the first tent main module and the third tent main module form a first module connection relationship through corresponding module connection areas and magnetic connection components; the second tent main module and the third tent main module form a second module connection relationship through corresponding module connection areas and magnetic connection components; the first tent main module and the second tent main module form a third module connection relationship through corresponding module connection areas and magnetic connection components; thus, the three tent main modules together constitute a three-module combined vehicle-mounted camping space in the central intersection area.

[0010] Preferably, the module connection area includes a first connection edge and a second connection edge, which are located at connectable positions of the tent main body modules. When adjacent tent main body modules are combined, the first or second connection edge on the module connection area approaches the corresponding connection edge of another tent main body module and forms a connection through magnetic connection components located at the corresponding connection positions. The first and second connection edges are respectively provided with mutually cooperating positioning protrusions and positioning grooves for aligning and guiding adjacent tent main body modules during magnetic connection. The cross-sections of the positioning protrusions and positioning grooves are trapezoidal.

[0011] Preferably, the magnetic connection assembly includes a permanent magnet component, which is a neodymium iron boron magnet with a nickel-copper-nickel anti-corrosion layer plated on its surface.

[0012] Preferably, the support structure includes multiple telescopic support rods, each of which is composed of multiple nested aluminum alloy sleeves and is equipped with spring pins to lock adjacent aluminum alloy sleeves together. The bottom of the telescopic support rod is provided with anti-slip rubber pads, and the top is connected to the top corner of the flexible tarpaulin body through a universal joint. The telescopic range of the telescopic support rod is 1.2m to 2.5m.

[0013] Preferably, the vehicle connection part includes a magnetic sealing strip disposed on the side of the tent main module near the vehicle and an adjustable strap used in conjunction with the magnetic sealing strip. The magnetic sealing strip is used to adhere to the metal surface of the vehicle body to form a sealed connection. The adjustable strap is used to further fix the tent main module to the vehicle's luggage rack or door frame. The adjustable strap is provided with a quick-release buckle. The magnetic sealing strip includes a magnet and a sealing suction cup connected around the periphery of the magnet.

[0014] Preferably, the inner edge of the module connection area is provided with a waterproof sealing strip. When adjacent tent main modules are connected by a magnetic connection component, the waterproof sealing strip is pressed between the two module connection areas to prevent rainwater from seeping in from the module connection gap. The waterproof sealing strip is a hollow rubber strip with elastic support ribs inside.

[0015] Preferably, the outer surface of the flexible tarpaulin body is coated with a polyurethane waterproof and sun-proof coating, and the inner surface of the flexible tarpaulin body is provided with a silver reflective layer to regulate the internal temperature.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1) Multiple Usage Modes: This invention adopts a modular tent structure, enabling single-module, double-module, and triple-module usage modes to meet actual needs, thus improving the flexibility of vehicle-mounted tents. 2) Adaptable to Different Camping Scales: Users can choose to directly connect or add extension connectors based on the number of vehicles, number of users, and required campsite space. This allows for independent camping with a single vehicle, or combined camping with two or three vehicles, adapting to diverse site conditions. 3) Configurable Extension Connectors for Variable Spacing: Independently detachable extension connectors allow for direct magnetic connection between tent modules, or the extension connectors can be used to increase module spacing, enriching the splicing options. 4) Convenient Magnetic Connection and Comprehensive Sealing Protection: Module connection is achieved through magnetic connection components, with multiple sealing structures and alignment guides for rapid assembly. The magnets have an anti-corrosion coating, and the tent fabric offers sun protection, waterproofing, and temperature control, making it suitable for complex outdoor environments.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The following will refer to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Figures 1 to 6 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Example 1: Tent Main Module like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a tent main body module 1. The tent main body module 1 includes a flexible tent fabric main body 2, a support structure 3, a module connection area 4, and a vehicle connection part 7.

[0026] The flexible tarpaulin body 2 forms the main sheltered space after the tent is deployed. The outer surface of the flexible tarpaulin body 2 is coated with a polyurethane waterproof and sun-proof coating, and the inner side is coated with a silver reflective layer to achieve rain and sun protection as well as internal temperature regulation.

[0027] The support structure 3 consists of multiple telescopic support rods. The support rods are multi-section nested aluminum alloy sleeves, which are locked and fixed by spring pins. The telescopic range of the support rods is 1.2m-2.5m. The bottom of the support rods is equipped with anti-slip rubber pads, and the top of the support rods is hinged to the top corner of the flexible tent body 2 through a universal joint. When the tent is unfolded, the support rods are adjusted to the target height, the spring pins lock the length, and the universal joints adapt to the deformation of the tent, thus unfolding the flexible tent body 2 to maintain the shape of the tent.

[0028] The vehicle connection part 7 is located on the side of the tent main module 1 close to the vehicle 6. The vehicle connection part 7 includes a magnetic sealing strip and an adjustable strap. The magnetic sealing strip has a built-in magnet and an outer sealing suction cup. The magnetic sealing strip is attached to the metal body surface of the vehicle 6 to achieve a seal between the tent and the vehicle body. The adjustable strap is equipped with a quick-release buckle. The strap is tied to the vehicle's roof rack or door frame to complete the double fixation of the tent main module 1 and the vehicle 6.

[0029] The tent main module 1 has a module connection area 4, which includes a first connection edge 11 and a second connection edge 12. Magnetic connection components 5, along with paired trapezoidal cross-section positioning protrusions and grooves, are arranged on the first and second connection edges 11 and 12. The magnetic connection components 5 consist of multiple sets of magnetic units arranged at intervals, with each unit covered by a flexible, wear-resistant protective sleeve. The unit spacing is maintained at 5cm-15cm. The magnetic units use neodymium iron boron magnets with a nickel-copper-nickel anti-corrosion coating on the outer surface. Several spaced-out ground peg rings and windproof rope connection points are arranged on the bottom edge of the tent main module 1 for anchoring to the ground.

[0030] The tent main module 1 can work independently by relying on the vehicle connection part 7 and the vehicle 6, or it can be magnetically assembled with other tent main modules 1 or extension connection parts 13 by means of the module connection area 4.

[0031] Example 2: Extended Connection Part See Figure 3 This embodiment describes the extension connection part 13. The extension connection part 13 is an independently detachable accessory. A third connection edge is provided on each side of the extension connection part 13. The structure of the third connection edge is consistent with the module connection area 4 of the tent main module 1. A magnetic connection component 5 is also installed on the third connection edge.

[0032] When it is necessary to increase the distance between the two tent main modules 1, or when a special irregular splicing layout is required, the extension connector 13 is placed in the middle of the two tent main modules 1, with the third connecting edge on one side of the extension connector 13 aligned with the module connection area 4 of one of the tent main modules 1, and the modules are magnetically attached using the magnetic connection component 5; the third connecting edge on the other side of the extension connector 13 is aligned with the module connection area 4 of the other tent main module 1 to complete the magnetic connection. The extension connector 13 serves as a gap transition, increasing the assembly distance between the two tent main modules 1 to achieve diverse splicing layouts; when it is not necessary to increase the distance, the extension connector 13 can be directly removed, and the module connection areas 4 between the tent main modules 1 can be directly magnetically attached.

[0033] Example 3: Single Module Usage Mode like Figure 4As shown, this embodiment is a single-module usage mode. Align the vehicle connection part 7 of the tent main module 1 with the vehicle 6; the magnetic sealing strip adheres to the vehicle body, and the adjustable straps secure it. Unfold the support structure 3, adjust the height of the support rod, and lock it with the spring pin. The flexible tent fabric main body 2 is then stretched open to form a vehicle-mounted campsite shelter. The bottom peg ring of the tent main module 1 is inserted into the pegs to secure it to the ground, and the windproof rope connection point is further reinforced with windproof ropes. In this mode, the first connecting edge 11 and the second connecting edge 12 of the module connection area 4 are not connected to other components; the tent main module 1 works independently, suitable for camping scenarios with a single vehicle and a small number of people.

[0034] Example 4: Dual-module combination mode like Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment uses a dual-module combination mode. The first tent main body module 8 and the second tent main body module 9 are respectively mounted on the outside of two different vehicles 6.

[0035] Two connection methods can be selected: First, the module connection areas 4 of the first tent main module 8 and the second tent main module 9 are close to each other, and are aligned by the positioning protrusions and positioning grooves of the first connecting edge 11 and the second connecting edge 12 (such as mortise and tenon structure, male and female fasteners, etc., which are not specifically limited in this application), and the magnetic connection component 5 is directly adsorbed and attached; Second, two extension connection parts 13 are added between the first tent main module 8 and the second tent main module 9, and the third connecting edges on both sides of the extension connection part 13 are magnetically connected to the tent modules on both sides respectively.

[0036] After assembly, the connection point forms a passageway with a height of no less than 1.8m, connecting the two originally independent tent spaces into a unified dual-module vehicle-mounted camping space, suitable for camping scenarios involving two vehicles and a large number of people. The hollow rubber waterproof sealing strip on the inner side of the module connection area 4 fills the splicing gap after magnetic compression, preventing rainwater from seeping in. The elastic support ribs inside the hollow rubber strip ensure the rebound sealing performance after long-term compression. Similarly, a hollow rubber waterproof sealing strip is also connected at the same position on the extension connection part 13.

[0037] Example 5: Three-Module Combination Mode like Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment uses a three-module combination mode. The first tent main body module 8, the second tent main body module 9, and the third tent main body module 10 are respectively assembled and fixed to the three vehicles 6.

[0038] From a top-down perspective, the three tent main modules are arranged radially in a T-shape around the central intersection area; the first tent main module 8 and the second tent main module 9 are arranged laterally on the left and right sides of the central intersection area; the third tent main module 10 is arranged longitudinally above the central intersection area, in the middle of the first tent main module 8 and the second tent main module 9; the connecting area 4 of the three modules is adjacent to each other in the central intersection area.

[0039] The first tent main module 8 and the third tent main module 10 are connected by the module connection area 4 and the magnetic connection component 5 to form a first module connection relationship; the second tent main module 9 and the third tent main module 10 are connected by the module connection area 4 and the magnetic connection component 5 to form a second module connection relationship; the first tent main module 8 and the second tent main module 9 are connected by the module connection area 4 and the magnetic connection component 5 to form a third module connection relationship. Of course, extension connecting parts 13 can be inserted between the adjacent modules as needed to adjust the spacing between the tent main modules. Once assembled, the central intersection area forms a large public activity campsite, suitable for group camping scenarios involving three vehicles and multiple people.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and many variations are possible. All variations that can be directly derived or conceived by those skilled in the art from the disclosure of the present invention should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
