[0029] The following further describes the present invention in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] A vehicle-side tent, the vehicle-side tent includes a tent skeleton, a tarpaulin, and a water accumulation prevention mechanism 3. The tent skeleton includes a fixed plate 11 and a plurality of unfolding skeletons 12. The fixed plate 11 is fixedly arranged on the vehicle, and more specifically, is fixedly arranged on the top edge of the rear compartment of the vehicle. The fixed plate 11 is arranged horizontally, and rotating brackets are respectively arranged at both ends of the fixed plate 11. A plurality of unfolding skeletons are respectively rotatably connected to the rotating brackets. In this embodiment, two unfolding skeletons 12 are rotatably connected to the left end of the fixed plate 11, and three unfolding skeletons 12 are rotatably connected to the right end of the fixed plate 11. Among them, the two unfolding skeletons 12 located at the left end of the fixed plate 11 are respectively unfolded clockwise relative to the fixed plate 11 by 90 degrees and 180 degrees, and the three unfolding skeletons 12 located at the right end of the fixed plate 11 are respectively unfolded counterclockwise relative to the fixed plate 11 by 90 degrees, 180 degrees, and 270 degrees. The schematic diagram of the vehicle-side tent when it is fully unfolded is shown in the figure. The tarpaulin covers the plurality of unfolding skeletons 12 in the unfolded position. Referring to the figure, the state of the vehicle-side tent when it is fully folded is shown, and the plurality of unfolding skeletons 12 are all in the folded position. At this time, the plurality of unfolding skeletons 12 are all parallel to the fixed plate 11. The connection structure between the unfolding skeleton 12 and the fixed plate 11 is not related to the main idea of the present invention and will not be elaborated here.

[0031] The water accumulation prevention mechanism 3 has two implementation manners.

[0032] Referring to Figures 1 - 3 , the first implementation manner: The water accumulation prevention mechanism 3 is applicable to locally support the height of the tarpaulin. The water accumulation prevention mechanism 3 includes a first connecting rod 31 and a second connecting rod 32. The first end 311 of the first connecting rod 31 is rotatably connected to the tent skeleton. The first end 321 of the second connecting rod 32 is slidably hinged on the tent skeleton. The second end of the first connecting rod 31 and the second end of the second connecting rod 32 are rotatably connected to form a supporting end 33. The first end 321 of the second connecting rod 32 can slide on the tent skeleton to correspondingly adjust the height of the supporting end 33. The supporting end 33 is used to support the tarpaulin.

[0033] In this implementation manner, a sliding member 34 is further provided. In this embodiment, the sliding member 34 is a slider. The sliding member 34 is slidably arranged on the tent skeleton. The tent skeleton forms a sliding groove 121, and the sliding member 34 slides in the sliding groove 121. A fixing mechanism 35 is further arranged at the first end 321 of the second connecting rod 32. The fixing mechanism 35 is connected to the sliding member 34: The first end 321 of the second connecting rod 32 includes a rotating hole 3211. One end of the fixing mechanism 35 passes through the rotating hole 3211 to be fixedly connected to the sliding member 34. The other end of the fixing mechanism 35 forms a handle 353.

[0034] In this embodiment, the fixing mechanism 35 includes a spring 351, a pin body 352, a movable block 354 and the handle 353. The pin body 352 is fixedly connected to the handle 353. The movable block 354 slides on the pin body 352. The spring 351 connects the handle 353 or the pin body 352. The end of the movable block 354 is fixedly connected to the sliding member 34. The first end 321 of the second link 32 is rotatably connected to the movable block 354. A plurality of positioning holes 122 are arranged at intervals on the sliding groove 121. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the first end 321 of the second link 32, the user can pull the handle 353 outwards. At this time, since the movable block 354 is fixedly connected to the sliding member 34, the sliding member 34 is limited by the sliding groove 121, and the handle 353 and the pin body 352 slide outwards together relative to the movable block 354. At this time, the pin body 352 leaves one of the positioning holes 122. After the second end 321 of the second link 32 moves, align the pin body 321 with another positioning hole 122, release the handle 353, and the spring 351 pulls the pin body 352 to insert into this positioning hole 122 to complete the fixation. In this embodiment, the end of the movable block 354 is threadedly connected to the sliding member 34, and the first end 321 of the second link 32 is sleeved and rotatably arranged outside the movable block 354.

[0035] In this embodiment, two of the water accumulation prevention mechanisms 3 are provided, and the water accumulation prevention mechanisms 3 are respectively arranged on two of the unfolding skeletons 12. These two unfolding skeletons 12 are respectively arranged at 90 degrees relative to the fixed plate 11. In this embodiment, the first end 311 of the first link 31 is rotatably arranged on the side of the unfolding skeleton 12 close to the fixed plate 11, and the first end 321 of the second link 32 is slidably arranged on the side of the unfolding skeleton 12 away from the fixed plate 11. The two water accumulation prevention mechanisms 3 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the fixed plate 11, and they can support both ends of the tarpaulin to achieve a relatively large lifting height.

[0036] When it is necessary to adjust the height of the lifting end 33, the user can hold the handle with the hand and drive the first end 321 of the second link 32 to slide until the height of the lifting end 33 reaches the user's requirement.

[0037] Refer to Figures 6 - 8, The second implementation mode: The water accumulation prevention mechanism 3 is applicable to locally support the height of the tarpaulin. The water accumulation prevention mechanism 3 includes a first connecting rod 31 and a second connecting rod 32. The first end 311 of the first connecting rod 31 is rotatably connected to the tent skeleton. The first end 321 of the second connecting rod 32 is slidably hinged on the tent skeleton. The second end of the first connecting rod 31 and the second end of the second connecting rod 32 are rotatably connected to form a support end 33. The first end 321 of the second connecting rod 32 can slide on the tent skeleton to correspondingly adjust the height of the support end 33, and the support end 33 is used to support the tarpaulin.

[0038] The first end 321 of the second connecting rod 32 is connected to a sliding member 34, and the sliding member 34 is slidably arranged on the tent skeleton. The water accumulation prevention mechanism 3 further includes a driving rod 36. One end of the driving rod 36 is connected to the first end 321 of the second connecting rod 32. The tent skeleton includes a folding position and an unfolding position. When in the folding position, the driving rod 36 drives the first end 321 of the second connecting rod 32 to slide until the support end 33 is in a lowest position. When in the unfolding position, the driving rod 36 drives the first end 321 of the second connecting rod 32 to slide until the support end 33 is in a highest position.

[0039] When the unfolding skeleton 12 abuts against the fixing plate 11, the tent skeleton is in the folding position. When the unfolding skeleton 12 forms a certain angle (90 degrees in this implementation mode) relative to the fixing plate 11, the tent skeleton is in the unfolding position. The first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 are arranged on the unfolding skeleton 12. One end of the driving rod 36 is connected to the fixing plate 11, and the other end of the driving rod 36 is connected to the first end 321 of the second connecting rod 32. In this implementation mode, rings are respectively formed at both ends of the driving rod 36. The sliding member 34 is provided with a cylinder, and there is another cylinder on the fixing plate 11. The rings at both ends of the driving rod 35 are respectively sleeved on the cylinders to form a movably rotatable connection. The driving rod 36, the fixing plate 11 and the unfolding skeleton 12 form a triangular structure. When the tent skeleton moves from the folding position to the unfolding position, the driving rod 36 drives the first end 321 of the second connecting rod 32 to approach the first end 311 of the first connecting rod 31. The driving rod 36 is a rigid rod.

[0040] In this implementation mode, the sliding member 34 is a roller or a slider.

[0041] During use, when the deployment framework 12 is in the folded position, the deployment framework 12, the drive rod 36, the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 are all flattened along the fixed plate 11. When the deployment framework 12 rotates from the folded position to the deployed position, since the drive rod 36 is a rigid rod, the length of the drive rod 36 remains unchanged. Let the length of the drive rod 36 be L, the length from the connection point of the drive rod 36 and the fixed plate 11 to the end of the fixed plate 11 be a, and the length from the first end 321 of the second connecting rod 32 to the end of the fixed plate 11 be x. Since the lengths of L and a remain unchanged and the length of x is variable, when the deployment framework 12 approaches the folded position infinitely, the length of x is the longest at this time. When the deployment framework 12 unfolds from the folded position to the deployed position, the length of x gradually decreases, so that the first end 321 of the second connecting rod 32 gradually approaches the first end 311 of the first connecting rod 31. At this time, the height of the propping end 33 gradually increases until the deployment framework 12 is substantially perpendicular to the fixed plate 11 and the propping end 33 is at the highest position.

[0042] As described above, the above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, making non-substantive changes to the present invention using this concept, shall fall within the scope of infringement of the protection of the present invention.
