[0051] The specific implementation of the vehicle-mounted awning of the utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] See attached Figure 1-6 The vehicle-mounted awning includes an awning body 1, with a tarpaulin 2 rolled up inside the awning body 1. Two curved arms 3 are symmetrically hinged at both ends of the tarpaulin 2's extended position. The front end of the curved arm 3 is hingedly connected to a forearm 4. The front end of the forearm 4 is hingedly connected to an external connecting rod 5. The extended end of the tarpaulin 2 is connected to the external connecting rod 5. The forearm 4 includes an outer forearm rod 6 and an inner forearm rod 7. The inner forearm rod 7 retracts within the outer forearm rod 6. The curved arms 3, forearm 4, and external connecting rod 5 form a frame that supports the awning's tarpaulin 2. The inner forearm rod 7 retracts within the outer forearm rod 6 to adjust the extended length of the frame and thus the awning's coverage area.

[0053] The forearm outer rod 6 is hinged to the crank arm 3. The crank arm 3 is provided with an articulated seat, and the forearm outer rod 6 is provided with a hinged joint. The two cooperate at the joint to achieve a rotational connection. The forearm inner rod 7 is hinged to the outer connecting rod 5, and the hinged joint is fixedly engaged with the outer connecting plate. The forearm inner rod 7 is sleeved within the forearm outer rod 6. A tail plug 8 is installed at the tail end of the forearm inner rod 7. A locking rod 9 is installed within the tail plug 8. The locking rod 9 is equipped with a torsion spring to ensure that the locking rod 9 is perpendicular to the forearm 4.

[0054] A front rack groove 10 is provided on the side of the forearm outer rod 6 near one end of the outer connecting rod 5, and a front rack 11 is provided in the front rack groove 10. When the forearm inner rod 7 is fully pulled out of the forearm outer rod 6, the locking rod 9 on the tail plug 8 of the forearm inner rod 7 cooperates with the front rack 11 to lock, and the tarpaulin 2 is now fully deployed. A rear rack groove 12 is provided on the side of the forearm outer rod 6 near one end of the curved arm 3, and a rear rack 13 is provided in the rear rack groove 12. When the forearm inner rod 7 is inserted into the forearm outer rod 6 and is retracted, the locking rod 9 on the tail plug 8 of the forearm inner rod 7 cooperates with the rear rack 13 to lock.

[0055] A crossbar 14 is provided at the front end of the curved arm 3. A sliding portion 15 is provided at the front end of the curved arm 3. A pull ring 16 is provided inside the sliding portion 15. The sliding portion 15 cooperates with the internal sliding groove of the crossbar 14. When the curved arms 3 are closed, the sliding portion 15 slides toward the middle position in the sliding groove. When the forearm 4 is retracted, the crossbar 14 is retracted inside the forearm 4.

[0056] A latching rack 17 is also provided at the end of the crank arm 3, and a latching block 18 is provided at the end of the cross bar 14 via a torsion spring 19. When the crank arm 3 is opened and the sliding portion 15 of the crank arm 3 slides to the outermost end of the cross bar 14, the latching block 18 cooperates with the latching rack 17 to fix the crank arm 3 to the cross bar 14. When the cross bar 14 and the crank arm 3 are to be unlocked, the latching block 18 is moved away from the latching teeth, and the pull ring 16 is pulled to slide the sliding portion 15 of the crank arm 3 in the sliding groove of the cross bar 14, thereby retracting the crank arm 3.

[0057] See attached Figure 7-9 A reel 20 is provided inside the awning body 1, and the tarpaulin 2 is rolled on the reel 20. A pipe plug 21 is provided at the end of the reel 20, and a ratchet 22 is provided on the pipe plug 21. A ratchet hook 23 is provided on the awning body 1 at the end of the reel 20. The ratchet hook 23 cooperates with the ratchet 22 to prevent the tarpaulin 2 from being retracted after being pulled out.

[0058] A roll tube lock 24 is provided on the roll tube 20, and a slider 25 is provided on the awning body 1 at the end of the roll tube 20. When the slider 25 engages with the extended end of the roll tube lock 24, it restricts the awning fabric 2 on the roll tube 20 from being pulled out. An end cap 26 is provided at the end of the roll tube 20, and a sliding window 27 is provided in the end cap 26. The sliding window 27 allows the slider 25 to slide.

[0059] See attached Figure 10 The length of the two curved arms 3 when put together, the length of the two front arms 4 when put together, the length of the cross bar 14 and the length of the main outer connecting rod 5 are all equivalent to the length of the awning, so that it is easy to retract into the inside of the awning. The shape of the outer connecting rod 5 matches the shape of the tarpaulin 2 outlet of the awning body 1, so that the awning after retraction is a whole, which is beautiful and easy to store.

[0060] See attached Figures 11 to 15When opening the awning, first pull the outer link 5 outward. At this point, the hinges between the curved arm 3 and the awning body 1 open, as do the hinges between the forearm outer rod 6 and the curved arm 3, and the hinges between the forearm inner rod 7 and the outer link 5. The end of the curved arm 3 slides to the sides on the crossbar 14 until the curved arm 3 and forearm 4 are fully extended. The rack 17 at the end of the curved arm 3 mates with the block 18 at the end of the crossbar 14, locking the two. The forearm inner rod 7 is now locked within the forearm outer rod 6. Push the forearm inner rod 7 backward slightly to disengage the locking rod 9 within the forearm inner rod 7's tail plug 8 from the rear rack 13. Then pull the forearm inner rod 7 out until the locking rod 9 mates with the front rack 11 and locks. The outer link 5 is pulled out to its maximum position, forming a frame.

[0061] Open the slider 25 on the end cap 26 of the awning body 1 to loosen the tarpaulin 2, pull out the tarpaulin 2, and secure the front end of the tarpaulin 2 to the outer tie rod. Then lock the slider 25 on the end cap 26, causing the roller lock 24 to lock the tarpaulin 2 on the roller tube 20. At this point, due to the fixing action between the cross bar 14 and the curved arm 3, the entire frame forms a rigid structure. The locking rod 9 of the inner forearm rod 7 is locked with the front rack 11 of the outer forearm rod 6, preventing the inner forearm rod 7 from retracting. The tarpaulin 2 is locked to the roller tube 20, and the outer connecting rod 5 cannot be pulled out. The entire awning structure is stable and strong.

[0062] Of course, when the front arm inner rod 7 is fixed in the position before being extended, such a structure can also be formed, that is, the state of partially opening the awning.

[0063] When the awning is to be stored, first open the slider 25 on the end cover 26 of the awning body 1 to loosen the tarpaulin 2 and remove the end of the tarpaulin 2 from the outer connecting rod 5. Since the reel tube 20 has a self-retracting function, the tarpaulin 2 is automatically reeled back into the reel tube 20. After completion, lock the slider 25. Pull the forearm inner rod 7 outward to disengage the locking rod 9 in the tail plug 8 of the forearm inner rod 7 from the front rack 11. Then push the forearm inner rod 7 into the forearm outer rod 6 until the locking rod 9 engages with the rear rack 13, thereby securing the forearm inner rod 7. After pressing the block 18 at the end of the cross bar 14, release the rack 17 at the end of the crank arm 3, pull the pull ring 16 on the inside of the front end sliding part 15 of the crank arm 3, so that the hinge between the end of the crank arm 3 and the forearm outer rod 6 is closed, and the sliding part 15 of the crank arm 3 is close to the middle of the cross bar 14. At this time, the hinge between the crank arm 3 and the awning body 1 is closed, the hinge between the forearm outer rod 6 and the crank arm 3 is closed, and the hinge between the forearm inner rod 7 and the outer connecting rod 5 is closed. Finally, the crank arm 3, cross bar 14, forearm 4 and outer connecting rod 5 are folded into the awning body 1, and the outer connecting rod 5 closes the outlet of the tarpaulin 2 to complete the storage of the awning.

[0064] If the awning is only partially opened, that is, the forearm inner rod 7 is not pulled out, then when the awning is closed, only the process of the forearm inner rod 7 being retracted to the forearm outer rod 6 is missing.

[0065] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that ordinary technicians in this technical field can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
