DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
[0027] Example
[0028] In the existing travel pods that are formed by folding eight panels at a time, the maximum size of the folded side panels cannot exceed half of the width when the two sides are folded in half, otherwise interference will occur and the pods cannot be folded normally. Since the folded width of the travel pods on the market is generally 130-150 cm, the unfolded height of the travel pod is difficult to exceed 80 cm, resulting in a limited height of the travel pod and people being unable to sit upright inside, which affects the user experience. The existing step-folding travel pods can be made higher in height, but when unfolding or folding, the front and rear end panels need to be manually upgraded. The side panels and the front and rear end panels are operated step by step and cannot be folded into place in one step, which is inconvenient to operate. In order to solve the above problems, the present embodiment provides a travel pod that aims to solve the problem of limited height of existing travel pods.
[0029] This embodiment provides a foldable travel cabin, comprising: a top cover 1, a bottom plate 2, a front end plate 3, a rear end plate 4, a side plate assembly 5, a lifting assembly 6, and a pulling assembly 7;
[0030] The top cover 1 and the bottom plate 2 are respectively connected to the lifting assembly 6, and the lifting assembly 6 can drive the top cover 1 to rise and fall relative to the bottom plate 2. The front end plate 3 and the rear end plate 4 are respectively movably connected to the bottom plate 2. The top cover 1 drives the front end plate 3 and the rear end plate 4 to move through the lifting assembly 7;
[0031] The side panel assembly 5 includes a side front panel 51, a side rear panel 52, a side middle panel 53 and a soft curtain 54. The bottom side of the side middle panel 53 is movably connected to the bottom panel 2, the front side of the side middle panel 53 is movably connected to the rear side of the side front panel 51, the rear side of the side middle panel 53 is movably connected to the front side of the side rear panel 52, the front side of the side front panel 51 is movably connected to the front end panel 3, the rear side of the side rear panel 52 is movably connected to the rear end panel 4, and the soft curtain 54 is respectively connected to the top side of the side middle panel 53, the rear side of the side front panel 51 and the front side of the side rear panel 52;
[0032] The two side panel assemblies 5 , the front end panel 3 , the rear end panel 4 , the top cover 1 and the bottom panel 2 can be enclosed to form a receiving space.
[0033] When the cabin needs to be opened, the lifting assembly 6 is started, and the lifting assembly 6 drives the top cover 1 to rise. During the rising process of the top cover 1, the front end plate 3 and the rear end plate 4 are pulled upward by the pulling assembly 7, so that the front end plate 3 and the rear end plate 4 are unfolded;
[0034] The front end panel 3 drives the side front panel 51 to move, the rear end panel 4 drives the side rear panel 52 to move, the side front panel 51 and the side rear panel 52 drive the side middle panel 53 to move, and the side front panel 51, the side rear panel 52 and the side middle panel 53 jointly drive the soft curtain 54 to unfold. When the top cover 1 rises to a preset height, the front end panel 3 and the rear end panel 4 move to a vertical state, the side front panel 51, the side middle panel 53 and the side rear panel 52 move to the same plane. At this time, the soft curtain 54 is also fully extended, and the two side panel assemblies 5, the front end panel 3, the rear end panel 4, the top cover 1, the bottom panel 2 and the soft curtain 54 together enclose a receiving space.
[0035] When the cabin needs to be folded, the lifting assembly 6 is started, and the lifting assembly 6 drives the top cover 1 to descend. During the descent of the top cover 1, the front end plate 3 and the rear end plate 4 are pulled by the lifting assembly 7 to start folding. The folding of the front end plate 3 and the rear end plate 4 drives the side front plate 51 and the side rear plate 52 to start folding. The front side of the side front plate 51 folds outward, the rear side of the side front plate 51 folds inward, the front side of the side rear plate 52 folds inward, and the rear side of the side rear plate 52 folds outward. During the folding process, the side front plate 51 and the side rear plate 52 drive the side middle plate 53 to fold, and the soft The curtain 54 contracts as the side front panel 51, the side rear panel 52 and the side middle panel 53 are folded. When the lifting assembly 6 drives the top cover 1 to descend to a preset height, the inner side surface of the side middle panel 53 faces the bottom panel 2, the outer side surface of the side front panel 51 is attached to the outer side surface of the side middle panel 53, the inner side surface of the side front panel 51 is attached to the inner side surface of the front end panel 3, the outer side surface of the side rear panel 52 is attached to the outer side surface of the side middle panel 53, the inner side surface of the side rear panel 52 is attached to the inner side surface of the rear end panel 4, and the top cover 1 is attached to the outer side surfaces of the front end panel 3 and the outer side surfaces of the rear end panel 4, completing the folded state.
[0036] By combining the hard board and the soft curtain 54, a staggered folding method is adopted to fold the panels at one time to form a receiving space. The height of the living cabin is determined by the height of the side panel assembly. The height of the side panel assembly is the sum of the height of the side middle panel and the height of the soft curtain. By setting the soft curtain, when the height of the side panel assembly is greater than the width of the living cabin, the side panel assembly will not cause interference problems, breaking through the height limit of the folding structure of the same type of living cabin; at the same time, compared with the existing step-folding living cabin, the living cabin of this embodiment can still be folded into place in one step when the height is raised, solving the problem that the existing step-folding living cabin requires manual lifting of the front and rear end panels 4.
[0037] In some embodiments, the soft curtain 54 can be made of waterproof material, such as PVC or waterproof cloth, so as to be used in the rain.
[0038] In some embodiments, the front side and the rear side of the side middle panel 53 are respectively tilted, so that the connecting sides of the side front panel 51 and the side rear panel 52 and the side middle panel 53 are all tilted. When folding, the side front panel 51 and the side rear panel 52 can be folded along the connecting side staggered panel.
[0039] In some embodiments, taking the front end panel 3, the front side panel and the side middle panel 53 as an example, the angle between the front side edge of the side middle panel 53 and the horizontal plane is a first angle, the angle between the connecting edge of the front end panel 3 and the side front panel 51 and the horizontal plane is a second angle, and the angle between the front and rear sides of the side front panel 51 is a third angle. The rule follows that the sum of the first angle, the second angle and the third angle is 180°.
[0040] Among them, the third angle can be divided into the fourth angle plus the fifth angle, and the fifth angle can be 0°. The rule follows that the first angle plus the fourth angle equals 90°, the fifth angle is equal to the first angle minus the fourth angle divided by two, and the second angle is equal to 90° minus the fifth angle.
[0041] In this embodiment, the first angle is 45°, the fourth angle is 45°, the fifth angle is 0°, and the second angle is 90°, so that staggered folding can be achieved.
[0042] In other embodiments, if the first angle is 60°, the fourth angle is 30°, the fifth angle is 15°, and the second angle is 75°, staggered folding can also be achieved, which are not listed here one by one.
[0043] In some embodiments, the height of the side center panels 53 plus the height of the soft curtain 54 equals the height of the front panel 3. That is, the folded height of the entire cabin is not limited by the overall cabin width. The height of the side center panels 53 does not exceed half the cabin width. After the soft curtain 54 is connected to the upper portion of the side center panels 53, the cabin height can exceed half the cabin width. Under the same folding conditions, a larger area of wall panels can be folded, breaking the height limit of similar cabins. The cabin height can reach up to half the cabin length, which is 20%-30% higher than similar cabins. An average person can sit upright easily, and folding will not cause interference.
[0044] In some embodiments, the bottom side of the side middle panel 53 is connected to the bottom panel 2 through a waterproof hinge, the front side of the side middle panel 53 is connected to the rear side of the side front panel 51 through a waterproof hinge, the rear side of the side middle panel 53 is connected to the movable front side of the side rear panel 52 through a waterproof hinge, the front side of the side front panel 51 is connected to the front end panel 3 through a waterproof hinge, and the rear side of the side rear panel 52 is connected to the rear end panel 4 through a waterproof hinge.
[0045] By connecting the panels with waterproof hinges, the bottom and sides of the caravan cabin are always kept sealed during the unfolding and folding process, effectively preventing rainwater from intruding into the caravan cabin from the bottom or sides when used in a heavy rain environment. Existing caravan cabins are prone to water ingress when unfolded in the rain, while the caravan cabin of this embodiment can be used all-weather.
[0046] In some embodiments, the waterproof hinge includes a rubber hinge and a mechanical hinge 8. The rubber hinge has high waterproof performance and strong sealing performance, and the mechanical hinge 8 has high precision and can effectively correct errors and misalignments of the rubber hinge. The overall structure is both waterproof and precise.
[0047] In some embodiments, the rubber hinges may be rubber hinges commonly used in RVs and campers.
[0048] In some embodiments, the caravanning pod further comprises a mounting base 9, which is detachably connected to the base plate 2 and can be connected to a luggage rack of a vehicle. By providing the mounting base 9, the caravanning pod and the mounting base 9 are detachably connected, and when the caravanning pod is not used for a long period of time, the caravanning pod can be disassembled and assembled separately. Because the caravanning pod is lighter, the disassembly and assembly workload is reduced, and the mounting base 9 remaining on the roof of the vehicle can be used separately as a luggage rack.
[0049] In some embodiments, the mounting base 9 and the base plate 2 can be connected by bolts for easy disassembly.
[0050] In some embodiments, the mounting seat 9 is connected to the car luggage rack through a mounting assembly 91. The mounting assembly 91 includes a mounting plate 92, an inner bracket 93 and an outer bracket 94. The mounting plate 92 is connected to the ground of the mounting seat 9, the inner bracket 93 is connected to the mounting plate 92, and the outer bracket 94 is slidably connected to the inner bracket 93. A mounting groove 95 is formed between the outer bracket 94 and the inner bracket 93. During installation, the distance between the inner bracket 93 and the outer bracket 94 can be slid and adjusted according to the width of the rod of the car luggage rack. The rod of the car luggage rack is placed in the mounting groove 95 between the inner bracket 93 and the outer bracket 94, and then the inner bracket 93 and the outer bracket 94 are tightly fixed by bolts and nuts. Anti-slip teeth 96 are provided on the outer bracket 94 to prevent the rod of the car luggage rack from detaching.
[0051] In some embodiments, the cabin further comprises a side cover, which is movably connected to the top cover 1 and can cover the soft curtain 54. By providing the side cover, when wind protection is needed, the side cover can be lowered, and when ventilation is needed, the side cover can be folded up.
[0052] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 7 includes a first lifting rod 71 and a second lifting rod 72, one end of the first lifting rod 71 is movably connected to the top cover 1, and the other end is movably connected to the front end plate 3, one end of the second lifting rod 72 is movably connected to the top cover 1 plate, and the other end is movably connected to the rear cover plate.
[0053] By setting up a lifting component 7, the front end panel 3 and the rear end panel 4 are driven to rise, and the front end panel 3 further drives the side front panel 51, and the rear end panel 4 further drives the side rear panel 52, and the side front panel 51 and the side rear panel 52 jointly drive the side middle panel 53 to rise. Compared with the existing caravan cabin which requires folding the middle panel first and then manually lifting the front end panel 3 and the rear end panel 4, the caravan cabin of this embodiment can be folded into place in one step, with a high degree of automation.
[0054] In some embodiments, one end of the first lifting rod 71 is pivotally connected to the top cover 1, and the other end is pivotally connected to the front end plate 3; one end of the second lifting rod 72 is pivotally connected to the top cover 1, and the other end is pivotally connected to the rear end plate 4. When the top cover 1 rises to the preset position, the first lifting rod 71 is attached to the outer side surface of the front end plate 3, and the second lifting rod 72 is attached to the outer side surface of the rear end plate 4.
[0055] In some embodiments, the pulling component 7 can be rigidly pulled or flexibly pulled as needed, which is not limited here.
[0056] In some embodiments, the front panel 3 and the rear panel 4 are respectively provided with windows 10, and the windows 10 allow users to enter the cabin.
