[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a soft-top tent. The soft-top tent includes a foldable base plate 1, which is divided into two parts: a first base plate 101 and a second base plate 102. A first connecting member 103 and a second connecting member 104 are bolted to the adjacent sides of the first base plate 101 and the second base plate 102, respectively. The first connecting member 103 extends upward and is inclined toward the second base plate 102. The second connecting member 104 extends upward and is inclined toward the first base plate 101. The top ends of the first connecting member 103 and the second connecting member 104 are hingedly connected by a hinge shaft 105. This allows for a certain amount of space between the first and second base plates 101, 102 when folded to accommodate other items. Multiple U-shaped struts 2 are mounted on the base plate 1. Both ends of the U-shaped struts 2 are hinged to the base plate 1, allowing them to expand and collapse on the base plate 1, supporting the entire tent structure.

[0033] Multiple elastic struts 3 are also mounted on the base plate 1. These struts are attached to the outer edge of the base plate 1 and extend outward, supporting the tent in all directions. The elastic struts 3 are generally arc-shaped, with a bend 301 formed at one end. This allows the elastic force generated by the elastic struts 3 to change direction as the bend 301 deforms, and the length of the entire elastic strut 3 can also be adjusted, making it more suitable for supporting the tent at multiple angles.

[0034] Finally, the tent's exterior sunshade 4 is constructed. Specifically, the bottom of the sunshade 4 is open, and the edges of the bottom opening are connected to the edges of the base plate 1, forming a closed space within the sunshade 4 and the base plate 1. The upper portions of the U-shaped struts 2 support the top of the sunshade 4, serving as its framework. The ends of the elastic struts 3 connect to the sides of the sunshade 4, holding the wings of the sunshade 4 open.

[0035] To connect the soft-top tent to the vehicle roof, multiple connecting blocks 5 are mounted below the first base plate 101. These connecting blocks 5 are symmetrically arranged on either side of the first base plate 101 and connect to the roof mounting brackets, securing the first base plate 101 to the vehicle roof. A telescopic ladder 6, capable of reaching the ground, is mounted below the second base plate 102. When the second base plate 102 is deployed from above the first base plate 101 and aligned with the first base plate 101, the ladder 6 extends to the ground, allowing climbers to reach the roof.

[0036] A more specific embodiment is now provided, and the other features are the same as those described above and will not be repeated here. In addition, the number of the first connecting member 103 and the second connecting member 104 are two, respectively, and are arranged on both sides of the base plate 1 and correspond to each other, so that the first base plate 101 and the second base plate 102 are hinged on both sides, and there is no other structure in the middle that affects the comfort inside the tent. The number of U-shaped struts 2 is odd, and the two ends of one U-shaped strut 2 are respectively installed on the hinge shaft 105 installed on the first connecting member 103 and the second connecting member 104 on both sides of the base plate 1, and the remaining U-shaped struts 2 are symmetrically distributed on the first base plate 101 and the second base plate 102, so that there is a U-shaped strut 2 in the middle of the entire base plate 1, and then the remaining U-shaped struts 2 are symmetrically distributed, which supports the sunshade 4 more evenly and with higher strength. The number of elastic struts 3 is even, and they are symmetrically arranged on the outer edge of the base plate 1, so that the side force of the sunshade 4 is more uniform.

[0037] In order to more conveniently connect the elastic support rod 3 with the sunshade 4, a hook 302 is formed at the end of the elastic support rod 3. A binding rope or the like can be connected to the side of the sunshade 4, and the hook 302 can be directly connected, which makes operation more convenient. The hook 302 is used to hook the side of the sunshade 4 to provide elastic force to support it in all directions.

[0038] The bending portion 301 is located at the lower half of the elastic support rod 3, so that the entire upper half of the elastic support rod 3 can change direction, the deformation range is larger, and a larger elastic angle change space can be provided.

[0039] Optionally, reinforcing ribs are fixed on the second bottom plate 102 to increase the strength of the second bottom plate 102 and reduce deformation of the second bottom plate 102 after unfolding.

[0040] To further stabilize the connection between the base plate 1 and the roof mounting bracket, an annular clip 7 is installed at the bottom of each of the first and second base plates 101, 102 for securing the base plate to the roof mounting bracket. A concave-convex mating structure 106 is formed on the contacting side of the first and second base plates 101, 102. When the second base plate 102 is unfolded, the concave-convex mating structure 106 engages, providing greater stability and reducing wobbling.

[0041] Those skilled in the art will readily envision other embodiments of the present invention after considering the specification and practicing the disclosure herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present invention that follow the general principles of the present invention and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein.
