Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sunshades, and particularly to a simple, portable and easy-to-store sunshade awning for vehicles. Background Art

[0002] Traditional sunshade awnings for vehicles bring a moment of shade and a place to rest, but at the same time, they are accompanied by a headache of storage problems. Whenever the journey ends, or when it is necessary to drive to the next destination, the complicated disassembly steps are like an invisible shackle, binding the steps of travelers. The entire sunshade awning must be carefully disassembled, and then go through time-consuming and laborious folding and packing before it can barely be stuffed into the already overcrowded RV. What is left for the driver and passengers is often only full of exhaustion and helpless sighs. These series of cumbersome operations not only consume a lot of time and energy, but also invisibly reduce the pure pleasure of outdoor adventures, casting a faint shadow over the originally full-expectation journey. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In view of this, the utility model provides a simple, portable and easy-to-store sunshade awning for vehicles, which has good storage convenience and can be stored on the outer wall of the RV, such as on the track of the RV. There is no need to laboriously remove and store the awning separately. The awning can be sorted out within a few minutes, and then the RV can set off. The storage convenience is extremely good.

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A simple, portable and easy-to-store sunshade awning for vehicles includes a connecting part connected to the RV, a tarpaulin connected to the connecting part, and a U-shaped inflatable column for supporting the tarpaulin. The connecting part is provided with a first wrapping cloth and a second wrapping cloth, and the first wrapping cloth and the second wrapping cloth enclose a storage space, and the tarpaulin and the U-shaped inflatable column can be placed into the storage space.

[0006] Its feature lies in its storage convenience, completely breaking the traditional impression that the disassembly and assembly of the previous awning are time-consuming and laborious. Thanks to the ingenious folding design, this sunshade awning can be easily stored on the outer wall of the RV, such as on the track of the RV. There is no need to laboriously remove and store the awning separately. The awning can be sorted out within a few minutes, and then the RV can set off. The storage convenience is extremely good.

[0007] The advantages of this innovative design are obvious: First of all, it greatly simplifies the travel preparation process, making the RV a true "mobile home" that is always ready to depart, without having to worry about extra luggage taking up precious space or being in a hurry due to a last-minute decision. Secondly, due to the use of advanced U-shaped inflatable columns as the support framework, it not only ensures that the sunshade awning can maintain a stable shape under various climate conditions, but also can be quickly set up and recovered in a short time, avoiding the bulkiness and inconvenience of metal brackets and making outdoor activities more relaxed and enjoyable. Moreover, the perfect fit with the outer wall of the RV not only saves valuable ground area, but also gives the vehicle body a fashionable appearance, becoming a moving scenic line on the road.

[0008] The first wrapping cloth and the second wrapping cloth built into the connecting part are the essence of the sunshade awning's storage function. These two layers of wrapping cloth cooperate with each other to jointly enclose a storage space, providing the function of storing the awning cloth and the U-shaped inflatable columns. Compared with the traditional tent packing method, this design significantly reduces the storage difficulty. Even for the first-time user, the entire folding and tidying work can be completed within just a few minutes, greatly saving time and physical effort costs.

[0009] Preferably, a horizontal inflatable tube is connected between the connecting part and the U-shaped inflatable column, and the upper surface of the horizontal inflatable tube contacts the awning cloth.

[0010] The upper surface of the horizontal inflatable tube directly touches the awning cloth, building an invisible protective barrier that effectively disperses the rain load and prevents water droplets from concentrating and causing the awning roof to collapse. This fundamentally solves the common structural weaknesses of ordinary tents. Even in the face of a sudden heavy rain, it can ensure that the inside of the awning is dry and pleasant, guaranteeing that the user's comfortable experience is not affected.

[0011] Preferably, the horizontal inflatable tube is detachably connected to both the U-shaped inflatable column and the connecting part.

[0012] The detachable connection design between the horizontal inflatable tube, the U-shaped inflatable column, and the connecting part endows the sunshade awning with extremely high flexibility and versatility. Users can quickly adjust the component layout according to actual needs, easily cope with changing weather conditions, and make every outdoor stay an unforgettable experience.

[0013] Preferably, the storage space is sealed with a zipper, and a part of the zipper is connected to the first wrapping cloth and the other part is connected to the second wrapping cloth.

[0014] The sealing mechanism of the storage space is a zipper, which seamlessly connects the first wrapping cloth and the second wrapping cloth, forming a closed and stable storage environment. By simply zipping up the zipper, users can easily control the overall storage and release of the sunshade awning. Without complex tying skills or special tools, they can achieve quick packing and unfolding, greatly enhancing the convenience of use.

[0015] Preferably, the number of the transverse inflatable tubes is one or more.

[0016] The diverse selection of the number of the transverse inflatable tubes endows the sunshade awning with a wider range of adaptability and potential for personalized customization. Whether it is a single inflatable tube design or a composite layout of multiple inflatable tubes, the optimal configuration can be flexibly adjusted according to different vehicle models, climate conditions or personal preferences. A single transverse inflatable tube is suitable for relatively mild environments and is sufficient to maintain the basic tension and stability of the awning fabric; in the face of stronger wind and rain challenges, increasing the number of inflatable tubes can not only enhance the overall compressive resistance, but also further refine the pressure distribution, reduce local stress concentration, ensure the reliable performance of the sunshade awning in extreme weather, and create a safe and worry-free outdoor space for users.

[0017] Preferably, the transverse inflatable tube and the C-shaped inflatable column are an integral part or two independent components.

[0018] Regarding the combination form of the transverse inflatable tube and the C-shaped inflatable column, whether choosing an integrated structure or maintaining the relative independence of the two, each has its own unique advantages. The integrated design emphasizes the simplicity and compactness of the structure, reduces the assembly process, and speeds up the deployment speed; in contrast, the combination mode of independent components pays more attention to flexibility and modular maintenance, allowing users to replace the worn or damaged parts specifically, avoiding unnecessary waste, and leaving broad space for future function expansion. The two solutions each have their own merits and jointly constitute the rich connotation of the sunshade awning design concept, meeting the diverse usage requirements in different scenarios.

[0019] Preferably, the connecting part is connected to the track of the RV.

[0020] The connection between the connecting part and the RV track is the key to realizing the efficient installation and disassembly of the sunshade awning, enabling users to complete the arrangement and storage of the awning within a few minutes. Moreover, through the stable support provided by the track, the overall structure firmness is enhanced, enabling it to still stand firm under various complex terrains and weather conditions, providing solid protection for outdoor activities.

[0021] Preferably, the C-shaped inflatable column has only one through inflatable cavity or multiple independent inflatable cavities.

[0022] A single through inflatable cavity ensures the rapid and uniform inflation process and is suitable for occasions that pursue efficiency and simplicity; the design of multiple independent inflatable cavities can ensure that in the case of damage to a certain cavity, other parts can still operate normally, effectively preventing the sudden collapse of the entire structure and maximizing the protection of personnel safety.

[0023] Preferably, the tarpaulin is provided with windows that can be opened or closed.

[0024] The windows that can be opened or closed added to the tarpaulin are undoubtedly a major leap forward in the humanized design of the sunshade awning. They can not only adjust the internal light and ventilation conditions to provide users with the most suitable indoor environment, but also serve as windows to observe the external scenery.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] This simple, portable, and easily retractable sunshade awning is distinguished by its ease of storage, completely dispelling the traditional impression that awning assembly and disassembly is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Thanks to its ingenious folding design, this awning can be easily stowed onto the exterior wall of the RV, such as onto its tracks. Without the need to laboriously dismantle and store the awning separately, it can be organized in minutes and the RV is ready to go, offering exceptional storage convenience. The advantages of this innovative design are obvious: First, it greatly simplifies the travel preparation process, turning the RV into a true "mobile home," ready to go at any time without worrying about extra luggage taking up valuable space or being rushed by last-minute decisions. Second, by utilizing advanced 匚-shaped inflatable columns as its support frame, the awning not only maintains its stable shape in all weather conditions, but also allows for quick assembly and retrieval, eliminating the bulk and inconvenience of metal brackets and making outdoor activities more relaxing and enjoyable. Furthermore, its seamless fit with the RV's exterior not only saves valuable floor space but also lends the vehicle a stylish appearance, creating a striking visual feature on the road. The integrated primary and secondary wrappings within the joints are the essence of the awning's storage function. These two layers work together to create a single storage space, housing the awning and its 匚-shaped inflatable columns. Compared to traditional tent packing methods, this design significantly simplifies storage. Even first-timers can complete the entire folding and arranging process in just a few minutes, significantly saving both time and effort. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
