[0039] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a connecting device and a vehicle-side tent. The connecting device can solve the problem of complicated assembly and disassembly of existing vehicle-side tents. The vehicle-side tent includes the connecting device, which will be described in detail below.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The connecting device includes a connecting male seat 1 and a connecting female seat 2. The connecting male seat 1 is connected to the vehicle body or luggage rack 4, and the connecting female seat 2 is connected to the tent back plate 5. At the same time, the connecting female seat 2 is formed with a plug-in cavity 20, and the connecting male seat 1 is movably plugged into the plug-in cavity 20. When it is necessary to connect the tent back plate 5 to the vehicle body or luggage rack 4, the plug-in cavity 20 of the connecting female seat 2 can be directly aligned with the connecting male seat 1 and inserted, thereby completing the quick connection of the tent back plate 5 and the vehicle body or luggage rack 4; when it is necessary to remove the tent back plate 5 from the vehicle body or luggage rack 4, the plug-in cavity 20 of the connecting female seat 2 can be directly separated from the connecting male seat 1, thereby achieving quick disassembly. Compared with the existing car-side tents that need to repeatedly tighten or loosen a large number of bolts during disassembly and assembly, the embodiment of the utility model solves the problem of cumbersome disassembly and assembly of the car-side tent by cooperating with the connecting male seat 1 and the connecting female seat 2.

[0041] Specifically, the connecting male socket 1 includes a plug-in portion 10 and a fixing portion 11 , the plug-in portion 10 is fixedly connected to the fixing portion 11 , the fixing portion 11 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body or the luggage rack 4 , and the plug-in portion 10 is movably plugged into the plug-in cavity 20 .

[0042] refer to Figure 3 The fixing portion 11 of the connecting male base 1 is in the shape of a long plate, and a first connection hole is opened on the long plate to connect with the vehicle body or luggage rack 4. The fixing portion 11 can be detachably connected to the vehicle body or luggage rack 4 by installing a bolt in the first connection hole. Of course, the fixing portion 11 can also be directly welded to the vehicle body or luggage rack 4, or the fixing portion 11 and the vehicle body or luggage rack 4 can be bonded together using a high-strength adhesive; in short, the fixing portion 11 can be connected to the vehicle body or luggage rack 4 in a detachable manner or in a non-detachable manner. In addition to the connection methods described above, other connection methods can also be used, and the specific examples will not be given here.

[0043] In this embodiment, the luggage rack 4 includes an outer ring body 40 and a reinforcing rod 41 arranged in the middle of the outer ring body 40, and a second connecting hole is provided on the reinforcing rod 41. The first connecting hole on the fixing part 11 and the second connecting hole on the reinforcing rod 41 are corresponding screw holes, and the fixing part 11 is connected to the reinforcing rod 41 by bolts.

[0044] The plug-in portion 10 is connected to one end of the fixing portion 11 , which makes it convenient to insert the connecting female socket 2 into the plug-in portion 10 during use; of course, the plug-in portion 10 can also be connected to other positions of the fixing portion 11 .

[0045] The plug-in portion 10 can be arranged perpendicular to the long plate-shaped fixing portion 11, and the top of the plug-in portion 10 faces upward. When the connecting female socket 2 is plugged into the plug-in portion 10, it will not fall off the connecting female socket 2 due to the action of external force, which is beneficial to increase the reliability of the connection between the connecting female socket 2 and the connecting male socket 1.

[0046] The plug-in portion 10 and the fixing portion 11 can be welded, or they can be integrally formed or adhesively connected. In this embodiment, the plug-in portion 10 and the fixing portion 11 are welded. Specifically, the plug-in portion 10 is a U-shaped steel sheet, and one end of the steel sheet is welded to the side wall of the long plate-shaped fixing portion 11.

[0047] Continue to refer Figure 3 In order to make the female connector 2 smoothly plugged into the plug-in portion 10, an inclined surface is provided on the end of the plug-in portion 10 away from the fixing portion 11. The inclined surface is used to guide the plug-in portion 10 when it is plugged into the plug-in cavity 20. Specifically, the two side surfaces of the U-shaped steel sheet are partially cut into inclined surfaces. The upper end of the inclined surface is located at the top of the U-shaped steel sheet and close to the bottom side of the U-shaped steel sheet. The lower end of the inclined surface does not extend to the fixing portion 11, but is located in the middle of the two side surfaces of the U-shaped steel sheet. Such a setting can ensure that the female connector 2 is smoothly plugged into the plug-in portion 10, and can also ensure the reliability of the connection between the female connector 2 and the male connector 1.

[0048] refer to Figure 4 The female connector 2 can be formed by bending a single steel plate multiple times. A plug-in cavity 20 is formed in the middle of the female connector 2, and lugs 22 are formed on both sides of the female connector 2. The lugs 22 are used to securely connect to the tent back panel 5. Specifically, a third connecting hole is formed in the lug 22. The third connecting hole can be a screw hole for connecting to the tent back panel 5 via a screw or bolt; the third connecting hole can also be a smooth hole for connecting to the tent back panel 5 via a pin; of course, the lugs 22 of the female connector 2 can also be directly welded to the tent back panel 5.

[0049] It is worth mentioning that when using the connection device of the embodiment of the present invention, the female connection seat 2 is generally not disassembled after being connected to the tent back plate 5, and the male connection seat 1 is not disassembled after being installed on the vehicle body or luggage rack 4. It is only disassembled when replacement is needed, which can ensure quick disassembly and connection during use.

[0050] When the tent needs to be set up for a long time or in windy weather or in a harsh geographical environment, the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 can also be locked and reinforced by a locking piece 3. The locking piece 3 is used to lock the male connector 1 and the female connector 2, thereby making the connection between the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 more secure.

[0051] Continue to refer Figure 4 The locking member 3 includes a locking portion 30 and a handle 31. The locking portion 30 is connected to the handle 31. The locking portion 30 is connected to the connecting male seat 1 and the connecting female seat 2 at the same time, thereby increasing the reliability of the connection.

[0052] Specifically, the plug-in portion 10 is provided with a male connection socket 101, and the female connection socket 2 is provided with a female connection socket 21. The male connection socket 101 and the female connection socket 21 are both threaded holes of the same aperture, and the positions of the male connection socket 101 and the female connection socket 21 correspond to each other. The locking portion 30 is a screw, which is simultaneously inserted into the threaded holes on the female connection socket 2 and the plug-in portion 10 and threadedly connected. When in use, the screw can be directly grasped by holding the handle 31 and rotating the screw to achieve locking of the female connection socket 2 and the plug-in portion 10.

[0053] Furthermore, a fixing sleeve 23 is attached to the female connector 2. This cylindrical sleeve 23 has an axially extending hollow hole. The diameter of this hole corresponds to that of the female connector jack 21. The wall of this hole is provided with internal threads, and the screw rod is adapted to the internal threads. When the screw rod passes through the female connector jack 21, it enters the hollow hole of the fixing sleeve 23 and then passes through the male connector jack 101 on the plug-in portion 10. This arrangement protects the female connector 2 and prevents deformation of the female connector jack 21 when the female connector jack 21 is subjected to lateral forces.

[0054] It should be noted that, in addition to being connected to the vehicle body or luggage rack 4, the male connector 1 can also be connected to the tent back panel 5; in addition to being fixed to the tent back panel 5, the female connector 2 is connected to the vehicle body or luggage rack 4. When in use, align the plug-in portion 10 of the male connector 1 with the plug-in cavity 20 of the female connector 2 and insert it, thereby connecting the tent back panel 5 to the vehicle body or luggage rack 4.

[0055] In addition, under normal circumstances, the number of male connectors 1 is two to four, and the number of female connectors 2 is the same as the number of male connectors 1. If the number of male connectors 1 and female connectors 2 is too large, it will be difficult to plug and dock, and the weight of the overall connection device will increase.

[0056] refer to Figures 5 to 7 An embodiment of the present invention further provides a vehicle-side tent, comprising the above-mentioned connecting device, and further comprising a tent back plate 5 and a vehicle-side tent pole 6, wherein the vehicle-side tent pole 6 is detachably connected to the tent back plate 5.

[0057] In this embodiment, a relatively common tent back panel 5 is selected as an example for illustration. The tent back panel 5 includes a vertical panel 50, an upper side panel 51, a middle side panel 52, a lower side panel 53 and a U-shaped panel 54. The upper side panel 51, the middle side panel 52 and the lower side panel 53 are sequentially spaced apart on one side of the vertical panel 50. The side walls of the upper side panel 51, the middle side panel 52 and the lower side panel 53 are perpendicular to the side of the vertical panel 50 and are connected. A U-shaped panel 54 is connected to the other side of the vertical panel 50. Bending edges 55 are distributed on both sides of the U-shaped panel 54. The bending edges 55 and the U-shaped panel 54 form a groove 56. Through the groove 56, the end face of the screw can be pressed against the bottom surface of the groove 56, so that the screw and the tent back panel 5 also form a force transmission structure, thereby increasing the firmness of the connection.

[0058] When the side tent poles 6 are connected to the tent back panel 5, one end of the side tent pole 6 is inserted into the grooves between the upper side panel 51 and the middle side panel 52, and between the middle side panel 52 and the lower side panel 53. The tent back panel 5 and the side tent poles 6 are conventional products and will not be described in detail here. Of course, in other embodiments, the types of the tent back panel 5 and the side tent poles 6 can be adapted.

[0059] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
