[0053] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0054] The hidden electric vehicle shelter in the embodiment is an innovative solution proposed for the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art. The device can be completely hidden in the storage box at the head or handle of the electric vehicle when not in use, maintaining the appearance of the vehicle through ingenious design. At the same time, the winding device and folding support rod structure enable the shielding assembly to be quickly unfolded and form an arc-shaped support structure, not only covering a wide range, but also having good stability. This design not only meets the needs of riders for sunshade and rain protection, but also solves the problems of storage, convenience and appearance, providing a practical, beautiful and efficient solution for electric vehicle users.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a concealed electric vehicle sunshade, which includes a storage box 10, a retracting device 20, a shielding assembly 30, a folding support rod 40, a crossbar 50, and a tensioning element 60. The sunshade is cleverly designed to be quickly deployed when needed and conveniently stored in the storage box 10 when not in use, making it very suitable for use with electric vehicles.

[0057] The storage box 10 is the basic structure of the entire device and can be made of durable plastic or metal, with waterproof properties. An opening 11 is provided on one side or the top of the storage box 10 to provide a protective shield for the unfolding and retracting of the assembly 30. The size of the storage box 10 depends on the specific model of the electric vehicle and can be designed to fit compactly on the front or handlebars of the vehicle.

[0058] The reeling device 20 is installed inside the storage box 10 and may include an electric motor and a reel 21. The electric motor may be connected to the reel 21 via a gear set, and may control the rotation direction and speed of the reel 21. In some embodiments, the reeling device 20 does not include an electric motor and a gear set, and the rotation of the reel 21 may be achieved by other mechanical means (such as manual rotation or a spring mechanism). One end of the shielding assembly 30 is fixedly connected to the reel 21, and the shielding assembly 30 may be unfolded and reeled by the action of the reeling device 20. The shielding assembly 30 may be made of waterproof and sun-proof fabrics, such as but not limited to polyester or nylon materials, and has good durability and UV resistance. The shielding assembly 30 includes a transparent film 31 that provides a field of view for the rider, and a awning cloth connected to the rear end of the transparent film 31 and made of waterproof and sun-proof fabrics for sun protection and rain protection.

[0059] Each folding support rod 40 is composed of multiple sub-support rods 41. The sub-support rods 41 are connected by hinges or other pivoting connections, allowing the entire support rod structure to fold. In operation, the folding support rods 40 are unfolded and positioned below the shielding assembly 30 on both sides in the width direction, providing stable support for the shielding assembly 30. When stored, adjacent sub-support rods 41 can be stacked or stacked together, compactly stored within the storage box 10, significantly saving space.

[0060] A crossbar 50 connects between the top ends of the two folding support bars 40, stabilizing the entire structure and extending the shield assembly 30 and the two folding support bars 40 toward the rear of the electric vehicle. The crossbar 50 can be made of a lightweight yet strong material, such as aluminum alloy, to reduce overall weight. A control knob 51 is provided on the crossbar 50.

[0061] Each folding support rod 40 is internally provided with a tensile element 60, which may be a steel wire rope or other flexible material. One end of the tensile element 60 is fixedly connected to the inner wall (such as the side wall or bottom wall) of the storage box 10, and the other end is connected to the control knob 51 on the cross bar 50. The control knob 51 can control the tightness of the two tensile elements 60 at the same time. When the control knob 51 is rotated in different directions, the two tensile elements 60 can be tightened or loosened at the same time, thereby controlling the expansion or contraction state of the folding support rod 40. This design ensures that the expansion and storage operations of the sunshade and rain shield are simple, fast and synchronous, and ensures the stability of the sunshade and rain shield during riding.

[0062] During use, the user first pulls the crossbar 50 outward. Since the crossbar 50 is connected to the shield assembly 30 and the two folding support rods 40, it drives the shield assembly 30 and the two folding support rods 40 to extend from the opening 11 toward the rear of the electric vehicle. After being fully extended or reaching the target position, the user rotates the control knob 51 a preset number of times, and the tensioning element 60 simultaneously tightens the two folding support rods 40 to form a stable support structure under the shield assembly 30, stably supporting the shield assembly 30 and preventing the shield assembly 30 from collapsing or caving in during riding. When not in use, the user rotates the control knob 51 a preset number of times in the opposite direction, loosening the two folding support rods 40 so that adjacent support rods can be stacked or overlapped. The user then gently pushes the crossbar 50 toward the front of the electric vehicle, folding and storing the shield assembly 30 into the storage box 10. The retracting device 20 then retracts the relaxed shield assembly 30 and folding support rods 40 back into the storage box 10. The whole process is simple and quick, providing great convenience for electric vehicle users.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] The concealed electric vehicle rain shelter of this embodiment, based on its basic structure, can also be optimized in various designs. The tension element 60 can be made of a variety of materials, including steel wire rope, metal chain, carbon fiber rope, or nylon rope. Each of these materials has its own unique characteristics. Steel wire rope and metal chain are strong and suitable for long-term use; carbon fiber rope is lightweight and strong, reducing overall weight; and nylon rope has good elasticity and wear resistance.

[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, the folding support rod 40 on the left and the folding support rod 40 on the right have their bottom ends connected to the inner wall of the storage box 10 and their top ends connected to the crossbar 50. An operating knob or control knob 51 is provided in the middle of the crossbar 50.

[0066] The first steel wire rope and the second steel wire rope are respectively arranged inside the folding support rod 40 on the left and the folding support rod 40 on the right. The first end of the first steel wire rope and the second steel wire rope, that is, the bottom end, is connected to the inner wall or bottom wall of the storage box 10, and the second end of the first steel wire rope and the second steel wire rope, that is, the top end, is respectively wound around different positions of the control knob 51, such as an upper and lower layout.

[0067] By rotating the control knob 51 in different directions, the user can control the tightening of the first and second steel cables, thereby forming a stable arc-shaped support rod to stably support the upper shielding assembly 30 and prevent the sunshade and rain shield 32 in the upper shielding assembly 30 from collapsing or sinking inward, or loosen the first and second steel cables, thereby slackening the first and second steel cables, thereby allowing the left and right folding support rods 40 to be folded and retracted, and the shielding assembly 30 to be retracted toward the storage box 10. For example, when the user rotates the control knob 51 clockwise, it is a tightening operation, and when the user rotates the control knob 51 counterclockwise, it is a loosening operation.

[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, the left picture is a schematic diagram of the sunshade and rain shield device of the electric vehicle after the release operation, and the right picture is a schematic diagram of the state of the sunshade and rain shield device of the electric vehicle after the tensioning operation. Figure 4 The storage box 10 at the bottom is omitted.

[0069] The storage box 10 is optimized for a length between 60 and 80 centimeters, with a width and height between 8 and 12 centimeters. This size ensures sufficient shelter without being too bulky. To facilitate user operation, a pull ring can be provided on the crossbar 50, making the unfolding and folding process even easier.

[0070] The shielding assembly 30 may include two parts: a transparent film 31 and a sunshade and rainproof cloth 32. One end of the transparent film 31 is fixed to the reeling device 20, and the sunshade and rainproof cloth 32 is connected to the rear end of the transparent film 31. This design can provide good sunshade and rainproof effects without completely blocking the line of sight. The reeling device 20 adopts a reel 21 or a drum structure and has an automatic reeling function. When the user pulls the cross bar 50, the reel 21 or drum will release the transparent film 31 and the sunshade and rainproof cloth 32; when there is no external force or when the tension is released, they will automatically retract into the storage box 10. 2 of the storage box 10 can be flexibly set on the top or side to adapt to different installation environments and usage requirements.

[0071] To further enhance the stability of the sunshade, the embodiment also designs a hook rope. The hook rope is arranged on the crossbar 50 and is used to connect with the hanging point at the tail of the electric vehicle. The end of the hook rope is provided with a hook, which can conveniently hook the pre-set hanging point or hook point at the tail of the electric vehicle. This design not only can fix the sunshade after unfolding, but also can effectively prevent deformation or damage caused by strong wind, greatly improving the practicality and safety of the product.

[0072] As shown in Figure 2 , the position of the folding support rod 40 in the storage state is optimized, which is closer to the tail direction of the electric vehicle relative to the winding device 20. This layout not only can make full use of the space of the storage box 10, but also can ensure that the support rod can be smoothly stretched when unfolded, and will not interfere with other components. This clever space utilization design makes the whole device more compact when stored, and will not affect the normal use of the electric vehicle.

[0073] The structure of the folding support rod 40 is also optimized and can include 2 to 6 sub-support rods 41. This design not only ensures sufficient support strength, but also ensures good folding effect. The number of sub-support rods 41 can be adjusted according to actual needs. Fewer sub-support rods 41 are suitable for small electric vehicles and are more compact after folding; while more sub-support rods 41 are suitable for large electric vehicles and can provide larger shading area and stronger support force. This flexible design makes the embodiment can adapt to different models and sizes of electric vehicles, and has wide applicability.

[0074] Embodiment 3

[0075] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the control knob 51 is arranged at the middle of the length direction of the crossbar 50, which is convenient to operate and can balance the control of the two stretching elements 60. The second ends of the two stretching elements 60 are wound at different positions on the control knob 51, which makes a single knob control the two stretching elements 60 on both sides at the same time. When the control knob 51 is rotated in the first direction (for example, clockwise), the two stretching elements 60 are simultaneously tightened, which will make the two folding support rods 40 form a stable arc-shaped support structure to provide stable support for the shading assembly 30. When the control knob 51 is rotated in the second direction (for example, counterclockwise), the two stretching elements 60 will be simultaneously loosened, which is convenient for storage. This design not only is simple to operate, but also can ensure that the two support rods are synchronously unfolded and contracted, greatly improving the convenience and reliability of use.

[0076] As shown in Figure 3As shown, adjacent sub-support rods 41 are rotatably connected via connectors 42. This connector 42 includes three main parts: a first connecting tube 421, a second connecting tube 422, and a rotating shaft 423. Both the first connecting tube 421 and the second connecting tube 422 have a cavity portion and a connecting portion. The cavity portion is used to insert or screw the sub-support rod 41 to ensure the stability of the connection. The connecting portion of the first connecting tube 421 is rotatably connected to the connecting portion of the second connecting tube 422 via the rotating shaft 423. This design not only ensures the firmness of the connection, but also realizes a flexible rotation function. This connection method allows the entire support rod structure to form a stable support when unfolded, and can be compactly folded when stored.

[0077] In order to achieve the smooth operation of the stretching element 60, a special cavity is provided inside each sub-support rod 41 for accommodating the stretching element 60. Both ends of the sub-support rod 41 are provided with an entrance and an exit connected to the cavity for the stretching element 60 to enter and exit. There are two ways to arrange the stretching element 60: one is to pass through from the inside along the length direction of each sub-support rod 41 and bypass from the outside of each connection part; the other is to provide a special through hole on each connection part for the stretching element 60 to pass through. A cavity is also provided inside the cross bar 50, which is connected to the installation space of the control knob 51. The stretching element 60 is connected to the control knob 51 after passing through this cavity. This design not only protects the stretching element 60 and avoids external interference, but also ensures the smooth operation of the entire system and improves the durability and reliability of the product.

[0078] like Figure 3 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of two adjacent sub-support rods 41 being rotatably connected. The first sub-support rod 41 and the second sub-support rod 41 are respectively inserted into their corresponding connectors 42, and the two adjacent connectors 42 are rotatably connected. Each wire rope passes through the inner cavity of each sub-support rod 41 and each connector 42, and passes through multiple such Figure 3 After the support unit shown, it is finally connected to the operating knob or control knob 51 set on the cross bar 50. The control knob 51 is rotated in different directions to realize the tightening or loosening operation of the wire rope. The tightening operation causes the wire rope to be tightened, thereby driving the folding support rods 40 on the left and right sides to be pulled into a stable arc-shaped support structure to stably support the awning cloth, so that the sunshade and rain shielding cloth 32 will not collapse or shrink inward during riding. The loosening operation causes the wire rope to be loosened, so that the sunshade and rain shielding device can be recovered, so that the folding support rods 40 on both sides are folded and recovered into the storage box 10 while the awning cloth is rolled onto the reel.

[0079] like Figure 5 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the embodiment close to the storage state (not unfolded), the whole is located in the front of the electric vehicle, through the connection bracket 12 (see Figure 1) is connected to the handlebar of the electric vehicle, like a rectangular box. One or more connecting brackets 12 are provided at the bottom of the storage box 10 for connecting to the front or handlebar of the electric vehicle to ensure the stable installation of the entire device. The bottom ends of the two folding support rods 40 are respectively connected to two positions on the inner wall of the storage box 10, and there is a first spacing between the two positions, and there is a second spacing between the two positions where the top end of the support rod is connected to the cross bar 50. The two spacings are equal on the basis and are equal to 80%-100% of the width of the shielding assembly 30. This design ensures that the unfolded sunshade and rain shelter can cover the required area to the maximum extent without being too wide to affect riding.

[0080] Specifically, the crossbar 50, control knob 51, and tensioning element 60 are all housed within a storage box 10. The opening 11 of the storage box 10 can also be provided with a closable door. When the door is closed, the entire device appears as a single storage box 10. This allows all components of the hidden electric vehicle canopy, except for the storage box 10, to be concealed within the box 10, thereby meeting the requirements of aesthetics, portability, and compact size. The hidden electric vehicle canopy is detachably connected to the front of the electric vehicle, allowing the user to easily remove it and carry it with them. Since all components are concealed within the storage box 10, the canopy and its operating components are protected from exposure to the outside world. This not only extends the canopy's service life but also reduces the risk of external impact, contamination, theft, or damage. This design allows the canopy to be completely concealed when not in use, eliminating unnecessary space and enhancing the vehicle's streamlined appearance and aesthetics. The concealment and storage mechanism of this design helps reduce the weight of the entire canopy system. The lightweight design ensures that electric vehicles will not add excessive weight burden due to the installation of a canopy, which is conducive to maintaining the vehicle's controllability and energy saving.

[0081] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
