[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a folding fence, including multiple groups of fence panels 1 rotatably arranged above the roof, the multiple groups of fence panels 1 form a fence with a U-shaped or U-shaped structure, the length of the fence panels 1 and the shape of the fence can be selected according to actual user needs, and also includes: a first positioning portion 2 for fixing the fence panels 1 in an open state; and a second positioning portion 3 for fixing the fence panels 1 in a folded state.

[0034] Preferably, Figure 2 As shown, the first positioning portion 2 includes: an upper connecting rod 21, the upper connecting rod 21 is arranged above two adjacent groups of fence panels 1, one end of the upper connecting rod 21 is hinged to one group of fence panels 1, and the other end is detachably connected to the other group of fence panels 1 through a positioning member 22; the positioning member 22 can be selected from bolts that are easy to disassemble quickly, and the two adjacent groups of fence panels are connected through the upper connecting rod 21 to form a triangular structure between the three, thereby improving the stability of the fence panels, and the positioning member 22 can be selected from bolts that are easy to disassemble quickly.

[0035] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first positioning portion 2 also includes: a lower connecting rod 23, one end of which is hinged to the side of a group of fence panels 1, and the other end is detachably connected to the top of the roof through a positioning piece 22, and the length direction of the lower connecting rod is set parallel to the folding direction of the fence panel 1 to form a triangular support structure to improve the stability of the fence panel 1 after unfolding.

[0036] It should be noted that after the fence panels 1 are opened, two adjacent fence panels 1 are connected by the upper connecting rod 21 , and the fence panels 1 are fixed in place by cooperating with the hinge structure at the bottom of the fence panels 1 .

[0037] When there is only one fence panel 1, the lower connecting rod 23 can be used to fix one fence panel 1 to the roof to ensure stable support when it is in the open state; after folding, the hinged lower connecting rod 23 is fixed to the side of the fence panel, that is, a positioning hole is opened on the fence panel 1, so that the hinged lower connecting rod 23 is fixed to the fence panel 1 through the positioning hole to prevent it from shaking during the driving of the vehicle.

[0038] Embodiment 2

[0039] like Figure 2 , 5 As shown, the components identical or corresponding to those in the first embodiment are marked with the corresponding reference numerals in the first embodiment. For the sake of simplicity, only the differences from the first embodiment are described below. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that:

[0040] In this embodiment, the second positioning portion 3 includes:

[0041] A locking assembly 31 installed on the roof of the vehicle for supporting and fixing the folded fence panel 1; and

[0042] A connecting piece 32 is installed on one side of the fence plate 1 and cooperates with the locking assembly 31.

[0043] Preferably, the locking assembly 31 comprises:

[0044] A support member 311, wherein the support member 311 is connected to the vehicle roof; the height of the support member 311 is set according to the distance between the fence panel 1 and the vehicle roof after folding; and it is ensured that all the fence panels 1 can be in close contact with the vehicle roof through the support member 311 after folding; and

[0045] A fastener 312 connected to the support member 311 .

[0046] The fastener 312 is preferably threaded, but other connection methods may also be applicable to the present application, such as snap-on connection.

[0047] It should be noted that after the fence panel 1 is folded, the fastener 312 passes through the connecting member 32 and is connected to the support member 311, so that the fence panel 1 fits the support member 311 and is locked, thereby ensuring the stability of the folded fence panel 1 during vehicle driving and preventing it from shaking.

[0048] In addition, a through hole may be provided on the longer fence board 1 so that the fastener 312 passes through the through hole and is connected to the support member 311, thereby preventing the longer fence board 1 from being suspended in the air and bending during vehicle driving.

[0049] Embodiment 3

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the components identical or corresponding to those in the first embodiment are marked with the corresponding reference numerals in the first embodiment. For the sake of simplicity, only the differences from the first embodiment are described below. The differences between the third embodiment and the first embodiment are as follows:

[0051] In this embodiment, a door panel 4 is further provided between two groups of fence panels 1 and can be opened for users to pass through; one side of the door panel 4 is hinged on one group of fence panels 1, and the side opposite to the hinge is connected to the adjacent fence panel 1 through a locking member 5. The location of the door panel 4 can be selected according to user needs.

[0052] Preferably, the locking member 5 controls the opening and closing state of the door panel 4, and the locking member 5 is an elastic latch.

[0053] The door panel 4 is provided to facilitate the user on the roof to move to different positions on the roof.

[0054] Working steps

[0055] Expand to form a fence:

[0056] After the fastener 312 on the locking assembly 31 is separated from the support member 311, the fence plate 1 is manually flipped to a vertical state, and the upper parts of two adjacent fence plates 1 are connected by the upper connecting rod 21; after all the fence plates 1 are unfolded in sequence, a fence structure is formed;

[0057] When there are no two adjacent fence panels 1 at the end, the fence on that side is fixedly connected to the roof using the lower connecting rod 23 to form a stable supporting structure;

[0058] Folding fence:

[0059] After the upper connecting rod 21 and the lower connecting rod 23 are unlocked, the upper connecting rod 21 and the lower connecting rod 23 are fixedly connected to the corresponding hinged fence plate 1, and the fence plate 1 is manually flipped to the roof surface so that the fence plate 1 is pressed against the support 311. The fastener 312 is passed through the connecting member 32 to lock the fence plate 1 on the support 311. According to the length of the fence plate 1, the fastener 312 is inserted into the longer fence plate 1 and connected to the corresponding support 311 to support the middle part of the longer fence plate 1 and complete the folding of the fence.

[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
