[0045] This application makes a design change to the support structure of traditional tents, that is, the sliding connection design of two second U-shaped supports 5, which reduces the storage volume while increasing the internal space and obtains a more stable support structure; the small storage volume not only brings convenience to users, but also greatly reduces the transportation cost of goods.

[0046] The foldable roof tent of this application is installed on the roof rack, and the cross beam on the support bottom plate of the roof tent is fixed to the cross bar of the roof rack.

[0047] By pulling out the telescopic ladder 12 and using the telescopic ladder 12 as a lever to rotate another support bottom plate 1 180 degrees along the central axis of the stainless steel hinge 2, the first U-shaped support 4 and the second U-shaped support 5 are pulled by the tarpaulin 3 and the connecting webbing 9 during the flipping process of the support bottom plate 1. When the support bottom plate 1 is opened, the sliding assembly 7 will slide upward along the vertical rod on the first U-shaped support 4 under the action of the gas spring 62, and then the second U-shaped support 5 is opened, thus propping up the tarpaulin 3;

[0048] The opening process only requires one step and is very easy to operate; when folding, the support bottom plate 1 is also flipped by pushing up and rotating the telescopic ladder 12, and the gas spring 62 is compressed during the flipping process, so as to fold the entire tent, and the operation is very convenient.

[0049] In order to ensure the upper space of the traditional folding tent, only the bottom plate size can be increased to ensure that the support can be folded inside the bottom plate; in this way, the storage size is sacrificed, and the cost of container transportation is greatly increased due to the influence of the storage size; the design of this application uses the ingenious design of the gas spring 62 and the sliding assembly 7 to realize the change of the support height of the second U-shaped support 5. When the tent is opened, the second U-shaped support 5 is pushed obliquely upward by the gas spring 62, and when folding, the support is pushed inward by the gas spring 62. Through this device, the internal space of the tent is increased, and the storage volume of the tent is reduced by more than 10%, greatly improving the comfort, convenience and transportation cost of use.
