[0035] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the present utility model patent. Those skilled in the art of the present utility model may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or replace them in a similar manner, but they will not deviate from the present utility model patent or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0036] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a foldable roof tent stand includes: a tent stand body 1 and a support frame 2.

[0037] In which, the tent frame main body 1 includes a first seat body 11, a second seat body 12, a third seat body 13 and a supporting link 14, one end of the first seat body 11 is rotatably connected to one end of the second seat body 12, one end of the third seat body 13 is rotatably connected to the other end of the second seat body 12, and the supporting link 14 includes a first shell 141 and a first rod body 142, the first rod body 142 is telescopically connected to the first shell 141, one end of the first shell 141 and the first rod body 142 is rotatably connected to the first seat body 11, and the other end of the first shell 141 and the first rod body 142 is rotatably connected to the second seat body 12.

[0038] Wherein, both ends of the support frame 2 are rotatably connected to the second base body 12 .

[0039] Specifically, when the first seat body 11 and the second seat body 12 are folded to form an accommodating cavity (not shown in the figure) and the third seat body 13 and the support frame 2 are rotated to be accommodated in the accommodating cavity, the foldable roof tent bracket is in a folded state; when the first seat body 11 and the second seat body 12 are unfolded and the third seat body 13 and the support frame 2 are rotated to the other side away from the first seat body 11, the foldable roof tent bracket is in an unfolded state.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the third base body 13 and the support frame 2 are rotated and stored in the accommodating cavity formed by the first base body 11 and the second base body 12, the entire tent frame body 1 occupies the smallest space and is easy to carry. When the first base body 11 and the second base body 12 are unfolded, the third base body 13 and the support frame 2 are rotated and extended outward, so that the space occupied by the entire roof tent bracket becomes larger, and the first shell 141 and the first rod body 142 of the supporting connecting rod 14 are extended to support the first base body 11, ensuring that the user has sufficient safety and comfort.

[0041] like Figures 1-6 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the first shell 141 is provided with a driving element (not shown in the figure), and the driving element can drive the first shell 141 and the first rod body 142 to move away from each other.

[0042] Specifically, the driving element can be an elastic member or compressed gas, etc. When the first base 11 and the second base 12 are unfolded to a certain angle, the driving element can automatically drive the first shell 141 and the first rod 142 to move away from each other, and continuously provide supporting force, so that the first base 11 can be unfolded and maintained at a certain angle. When the foldable roof tent bracket is ready to be folded, one end of the first base 11 is pressed down, and the first shell 141 and the first rod 142 will be compressed close together due to the greater pressure, and finally the first base 11 and the second base 12 are folded.

[0043] In this embodiment, the drive element not only provides stable support for the first base 11 in the unfolded state, ensuring the robustness and safety of the entire structure, but also, when the first base 11 is folded, due to the pivoting connection between the first base 11 and the second base 12, a certain angle can be formed between them. In this case, the design of the drive element allows the first base 11 to be easily folded along this angle. This design not only simplifies the folding process and reduces operational complexity, but more importantly, significantly reduces the physical effort required by the user during the folding process. This means that even users with less strength can easily complete the folding of the roof tent stand, improving the product's practicality and user experience.

[0044] like Figures 1-6 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the second seat body 12 is provided with a first limiting portion 121, and the third seat body 13 is provided with a second limiting portion 131; when the foldable roof tent is in the unfolded state, the first limiting portion 121 contacts the second limiting portion 131.

[0045] Specifically, when the foldable roof tent stand is unfolded, the third base body 13 is turned over until the second limiting portion 131 on the third base body 13 contacts the first limiting portion 121 on the second base body 12. At this time, the third base body 13 and the second base body 12 are both on the same plane.

[0046] In this embodiment, the third base body 13 is flipped out from the storage position in the folded state. As the third base body 13 is flipped, it gradually moves away from the first base body 11 until the second limiting portion 131 on the third base body 13 contacts the first limiting portion 121 on the second base body 12. This step not only indicates that the third base body 13 has reached its final unfolded position, but also means that the second base body 12 and the third base body 13 have been correctly aligned. The two are now located on the same horizontal plane, forming a continuous and stable support surface, thereby providing a safer and more comfortable resting environment for the user.

[0047] like Figures 1-6 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, it also includes a flip limiter 3, which is arranged at one end of the second seat body 12 close to the third seat body 13 and is rotatably connected to the second seat body 12, the second seat body 12 is provided with a first contact surface 122, the flip limiter 3 is provided with a second contact surface 31 and a third contact surface 32, and the third seat body 13 is provided with a fourth contact surface 132; when the foldable roof tent is in the unfolded state, the first contact surface 122 is in contact with the second contact surface 31, and the fourth contact surface 132 is in contact with the third contact surface 32.

[0048] Specifically, when the foldable roof tent stand is unfolded, the flip limiter 3 is flipped over first, and the second contact surface 31 on the flip limiter 3 contacts the first contact surface 122 on the second base body 12, so that the flip limiter 3 and the second base body 12 are on the same plane. Then the third base body 13 is flipped over until the fourth contact surface 132 on the third base body 13 contacts the third contact surface 32 on the flip limiter 3. At this time, the third base body 13, the flip limiter 3 and the second base body 12 are all on the same plane.

[0049] In this embodiment, the flip limiter 3 not only enables the third base body 13 and the second base body 12 to be aligned on the same horizontal plane to form a continuous and stable support surface, but also as a connecting member between the two, the flip limiter 3 can also play a buffering role, reducing the risk of damage caused by improper use, and increasing the service life of the second base body 12 and the third base body 13. At the same time, the flip limiter 3 has the advantage of being easy to replace and can be replaced immediately when worn.

[0050] like Figures 1-6 As shown, based on the above embodiment, it further includes a folding ladder 4, one end of which is rotatably connected to the second seat body 12.

[0051] Specifically, the folding ladder 4 can be telescopically folded, rotatably connected to the second base body 12 , and can be folded and stored at the bottom of the second base body 12 .

[0052] In this embodiment, when the foldable roof tent stand is placed on the roof, the folding ladder 4 can be adjusted to extend out of the vehicle, and by adjusting the length of the folding ladder 4, it is ensured to be stable and reliable, and it can also adapt to vehicles of different heights. In this way, whether the user goes up the roof to enter the tent or gets off the vehicle and returns to the ground, it can be more relaxed and safer, avoiding the dangers that may be caused by direct climbing.

[0053] like Figures 1-6 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, the support frame 2 is provided at one end of the third base body 13 away from the second base body 12 .

[0054] In this embodiment, a support frame 2 is also provided on the third base body 13, so that the internal space formed by the entire roof tent support is larger, further improving the comfort of the user.

[0055] like Figures 1-6 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the support frame 2 includes a support cross bar 21 and two support vertical bars 22, one end of the support cross bar 21 is connected to one end of one of the support vertical bars 22, the other end of the support cross bar 21 is connected to one end of the other support vertical bar 22, and the other ends of the two support vertical bars 22 are rotatably connected to the second base body 12 or the third base body 13.

[0056] In this embodiment, the supporting cross bar 21 and the two supporting vertical bars 22 together form a "door"-shaped frame, which enhances the structural strength and stability of the entire support frame 2. At the same time, the overall structure of the support frame 2 is similar to the structure of the first seat body 11 and the second seat body 12. On the basis of being able to be accommodated in the accommodating cavity formed by the first seat body 11 and the second seat body 12, the internal space formed by the roof tent bracket support is expanded as much as possible to ensure that the user can enjoy sufficient rest space.

[0057] like Figures 1-6 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the supporting vertical rod 22 includes a second shell 221, a second rod body 222 and a fixing clip 223, the second rod body 222 is accommodated in the second shell 221, and the second rod body 222 is slidably connected to the second shell 221 through the fixing clip 223.

[0058] Specifically, the second rod 222 is accommodated in the second housing 221 and is slidably connected to the second housing 221 . The fixing clip 223 can be used to fix the height of the second rod 222 in the second housing 221 .

[0059] In this embodiment, this design allows the second rod 222 to be telescopically adjusted as needed, thereby adjusting the overall length of the support vertical rod 22. When the stand needs to be unfolded, the second rod 222 can be slid and locked in place using the fixing clip 223 to achieve the desired support height. When the stand needs to be folded, the fixing clip 223 can be released and the second rod 222 can be retracted into the second housing 221, making the entire support vertical rod 22 more compact and easier to carry and store. This adjustable design not only improves the flexibility and adaptability of the stand.

[0060] like Figures 1-6As shown, a foldable roof tent includes the foldable roof tent bracket and a tent cloth (not shown in the figure), wherein the tent cloth is connected to the first base body 11 , the second base body 12 and the third base body 13 .

[0061] In this embodiment, the tent cloth is directly connected to the first base body 11, the second base body 12 and the third base body 13, so that when the foldable roof tent is unfolded, the tent cloth will automatically open as these base bodies are unfolded to form a complete tent structure. This integrated design not only simplifies the construction steps, but also increases the construction speed, ensuring that users can quickly obtain a safe shelter in an emergency. In addition, this design also reduces the risk of component damage caused by frequent splicing, extends the service life of the tent, and improves the overall user experience.

[0062] like Figures 1-6 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, the support frame 2 includes a support cross bar 21 and two support vertical bars 22, one end of the support cross bar 21 is connected to one end of one of the support vertical bars 22, the other end of the support cross bar 21 is connected to one end of the other support vertical bar 22, the other ends of the two support vertical bars 22 are rotatably connected to one end of the first base body 11 close to the third base body 13, and the support cross bar 21 is connected to the tent cloth.

[0063] In this embodiment, the support cross bar 21 on the support frame 2 is also directly connected to the tent cloth. When the foldable roof tent is unfolded, the support cross bar 21 will automatically adjust to a preset position as the tent cloth is opened, ensuring the stability and integrity of the entire tent structure. This design also reduces potential errors and inconveniences caused by manual adjustment of the support frame 2, further improving the user experience and the reliability of the tent.
