[0036] The folding base plate comprises two supporting base plates 1, which are hingedly connected by two symmetrically arranged stainless steel hinges 2;

[0037] Preferably, the two supporting base plates 1 are made of aluminum honeycomb panels, which have the excellent properties of light weight and high structural strength;

[0038] The supporting mechanism includes a first U-shaped bracket 4, a second U-shaped bracket 5, a connecting assembly 6 and a gas spring assembly; wherein the first U-shaped bracket 4 and the second U-shaped bracket 5 are both made of internal hollow pipes, preferably aluminum tubes.

[0039] The first U-shaped bracket 4 has two ends coaxially rotatably connected to the corresponding stainless steel hinge 2; wherein, the two vertical rods of the first U-shaped bracket 4 are each provided with a long hole 7 along its length, and the long hole 7 is provided on both sides of the vertical rod of the first U-shaped bracket 4; the positions of the two vertical rods of the first U-shaped bracket 4 corresponding to the long holes 7 are each provided with a sliding assembly 11, and the length of the long hole 7 is the sliding stroke of the sliding assembly 11;

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the sliding assembly 11 includes a sliding seat 111 slidably sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the vertical rod of the first U-shaped bracket 4 ; U-shaped mounting notches 112 are symmetrically fixedly provided on both sides of the sliding seat 111 .

[0041] Two second U-shaped brackets 5 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the first U-shaped bracket 5 , and both ends of the second U-shaped bracket 5 are respectively provided on the two sliding components 11;

[0042] Specifically, the two ends of the second U-shaped bracket 5 are rotatably arranged inside the corresponding U-shaped mounting groove 112 through a rotating shaft, that is, the two ends of the second U-shaped bracket 5 can be raised and lowered following the up and down sliding of the sliding seat 111, thereby adjusting the height of the second U-shaped bracket 5 supported on the inner side of the tarpaulin 3; wherein the axial direction of the rotating shaft of the second U-shaped bracket 5 is set parallel to the axial direction of the rotating shaft of the first U-shaped bracket 4.

[0043] The connecting component 6 is provided between the supporting base plate 1, the first U-shaped bracket 4 and the sliding component 11, and is used to drive the sliding component 11 and both ends of the second U-shaped bracket 5 to slide up and down along the length direction of the long hole 7;

[0044] There are two groups of gas spring assemblies, which are respectively arranged inside the two vertical rods of the first U-shaped bracket 4 to assist the second U-shaped bracket 5 in adjusting its height.

[0045] Among them, since the interior of the first U-shaped bracket 4 is hollow, the gas spring assembly includes a gas spring 8 arranged inside the vertical rod of the first U-shaped bracket 4, one end of the gas spring 8 is fixed inside the vertical rod of the first U-shaped bracket 4 by a first screw 9, and the fixing point of the first screw 9 is located above the long hole 7, and the other end is fixedly connected to the sliding seat 111 by a second screw 10, and the second screw 10 is arranged through the sliding seat 111 and the corresponding long hole 7, so that the gas spring 8 can contract and stretch inside the vertical rod of the first U-shaped bracket 4.

[0046] That is, one end of the gas spring 8 is fixedly connected to the vertical rod of the first U-shaped bracket 4 through the first screw 9, and the other end is connected to the sliding seat 111 through the second screw 10. This end can slide up and down along the direction of the long hole following the sliding seat 111, thereby realizing the contraction and extension of the gas spring 8.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, four symmetrical groups of connection components 6 are provided, and the four groups of connection components 6 respectively connect the two supporting base plates 1, the first U-shaped bracket 4 and the corresponding sliding components 11; each group of connection components 6 includes a lifting ring 61 and a tensioning webbing 62;

[0048] The hanging ring 61 is fixedly arranged on the inner side of the top of the vertical rod of the first U-shaped bracket 4, one end of the tensioning strap 62 is fixedly arranged on the supporting base plate 1 at the right-angle edge away from the stainless steel hinge 2, and the other end passes through the corresponding hanging ring 61 and is fixedly connected to the corresponding sliding seat 111.

[0049] The ring 61 and the tensioning webbing 62 may also be replaced by pulleys and ropes, and are not limited to the design of the tensioning webbing 62 and the ring 61 .

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, it also includes a connecting webbing 12, two connecting webbings 12 are arranged parallel to each other; the two ends of the connecting webbing 12 are respectively arranged on the side of the two supporting base plates 1 away from the stainless steel hinge 2, and the connecting webbing 12 is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the first U-shaped bracket 4 and fixedly sleeved on the outer sides of the first U-shaped bracket 4 and the second U-shaped bracket 5, so as to reduce the force exerted on the tarpaulin 3 on the first U-shaped bracket 4 and the second U-shaped bracket 5.

[0051] The tarpaulin 3 is detachably arranged on the top surface of the two supporting base plates 1 and is sleeved on the outside of the first U-shaped bracket 4 , the two second U-shaped brackets 5 and the two connecting straps 12 .

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, an aluminum U-shaped front bracket 13 is fixedly provided between the two connecting straps 12 and on the side of the second U-shaped bracket 5 away from the first U-shaped bracket 4; the setting of the two U-shaped front brackets 13 can provide shielding for the tarpaulin 3 above the window of the tent.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, two parallel beams 14 are fixedly provided on the bottom surface of one supporting base plate 1 for connection and assembly with the luggage rack cross bars on the roof, and a telescopic ladder 15 is hingedly provided on the side of the bottom surface of the other supporting base plate 1 away from the stainless steel hinge 2.

[0054] The present application changes the design of the bracket structure of the traditional tent, that is, the sliding connection design of the two second U-shaped brackets 5, which reduces the storage volume while increasing the internal space and obtaining a more stable support structure; the small storage volume not only brings convenience to the user, but also greatly reduces the transportation cost of the goods.

[0055] The foldable roof tent of the present application is installed on the roof rack, and the crossbeam 14 on the supporting base plate 1 of the roof tent is fixed to the crossbar of the roof rack;

[0056] By pulling out the telescopic ladder 15, the telescopic ladder 15 is used as a lever to rotate the other supporting base plate 1 180 degrees along the central axis of the stainless steel hinge 2 to open it. During the flipping process of the supporting base plate 1, the first U-shaped bracket 4 and the second U-shaped bracket 5 are pulled by the tarpaulin 3 and the connecting webbing 12 to rotate and unfold. During the flipping and opening process of the supporting base plate 1, the sliding seat 111 is driven to slide upward along the direction of the long hole 7 on the first U-shaped bracket 4 by tightening the webbing 12. As a result, the two ends of the second U-shaped bracket 5 slide upward synchronously along the direction of the long hole 7, thereby increasing the supporting height of the second U-shaped bracket 5 inside the tarpaulin 3, thereby supporting the tarpaulin 3 and increasing the space inside the tent; at this time, the gas spring 8 inside the first U-shaped bracket 4 is contracted;

[0057] The opening operation only requires one step and is easy to operate. When folding, the support base 1 is flipped inward. Under the action of the gas spring 8, the sliding seat 111 slides downward along the direction of the long hole 7, thereby driving the two ends of the second U-shaped bracket 5 to slide downward along the direction of the long hole 7, lowering the relative height of the second U-shaped bracket 5, and folding and storing the first U-shaped bracket 4 and the second U-shaped bracket 5, so that the entire tent is folded, which is very convenient to operate.

[0058] In order to ensure the upper space of the tent, traditional folding tents can only increase the size of the base plate to ensure that the bracket can be folded into the inside of the base plate; this sacrifices the storage size, and the cost of container transportation is greatly increased due to the storage size; the design of this application utilizes the ingenious design between the gas spring, the sliding component, and the connecting component to achieve the change of the support height of the second U-shaped bracket, which increases the internal space of the tent and reduces the storage volume of the tent by more than 10%, greatly improving the comfort, convenience and transportation cost of use.

[0059] In this specification, the terms "connect," "install," and "fix" should be understood broadly. For example, "connect" can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
