[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a roof tent 10, which includes a top cover 100, a base 200, a first support component 300, a second support component 400, and a third support component 500. The base 200 is used to install on the top of a car. The two ends of the first support component 300, the second support component 400, and the third support component 500 are respectively connected to the top cover 100 and the base 200 to support the top cover 100.

[0030] The first support component 300 is located at the front end of the roof tent 10, i.e., the end from which the user enters the roof tent 10 from the outside, and also the higher end of the roof cover 100 after the roof tent 10 is unfolded; the third support component 500 is located at the rear end of the roof tent 10, i.e., the end opposite to the front end; the second support component 400 is located between the first support component 300 and the third support component 500, i.e., in the middle area of ​​the roof tent 10; when the roof tent 10 is unfolded, the height of the first support component 300 is greater than the height of the second support component 400, and the height of the second support component 400 is greater than the height of the third support component 500; wherein the first support component 300 and the second support component 400 are rod-shaped structures, and the third support component 500 is a cross-hinge structure.

[0031] This application provides support for the front, middle, and rear ends of the rooftop tent 100 by setting three sets of support structures: a first support component 300, a second support component 400, and a third support component 500 in the rooftop tent 10. The first support component 300 and the second support component 400 are rod-shaped structures, which facilitates the unfolding of the front and middle parts of the rooftop tent 100. The third support component 500 is a hinge structure to provide stable support for the rear end of the rooftop tent 100. Therefore, through the above support design, this application helps to improve the stability of the rooftop tent 10 when it is unfolded.

[0032] Specifically, the first support assembly 300 includes two support rods 310, which are located on both sides of the rooftop tent 10; the second support assembly 400 includes two air springs 410, which are located on both sides of the rooftop tent 10; and the third support assembly 500 includes two support frames 510, which are located on both sides of the rooftop tent 10. One side of the roof cover 100 and the corresponding side of the base 200 are simultaneously connected by one support rod 310, one air spring 410, and one support frame 510.

[0033] Understandably, the rooftop tent 10 has a front end, a rear end, and two sides, with the first support assembly 300, the second support assembly 400, and the third support assembly 500 all located only on the two sides of the rooftop tent 10.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the rooftop tent 10 also includes multiple latches 600, which are distributed on the four sides of the rooftop tent 10, namely, at the front end, rear end, and sides of the rooftop tent 10. As an example, two latches 600 can be provided at the front end and rear end of the rooftop tent 10, and one latch 600 can be provided on each side of the rooftop tent 10.

[0035] The latch 600 includes a lock cylinder 620 and a lock hook 610. The lock cylinder 620 is fixed to the outside of the base 200, and the lock hook 610 is fixed to the outside of the top cover 100. The lock cylinder 620 and the lock hook 610 cooperate to lock together. In this embodiment, by providing the latch 600 on the roof tent 10, the top cover 100 can be locked during the folding phase of the roof tent 10, preventing the top cover 100 from popping open after folding.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment, the top cover 100 includes a top plate 110, a top frame 120, and a plurality of top rods 130. The top frame 120 is arranged around the top rods 130 and the top plate 110. The edge of the top plate 110 is connected to the top frame 120. The two ends of the top rods 130 are connected to the opposite sides of the top frame 120. The top rods 130 are located on the side of the top plate 110 facing the base 200. The top frame 120 is connected to the first support assembly 300, the second support assembly 400, and the third support assembly 500.

[0037] The roof panel 110 is made of carbon fiber material to reduce the weight of the roof tent 10.

[0038] like Figure 5As shown in this embodiment, the base 200 includes a base frame 210, at least two mounting strips 220, and multiple base rods 230. The base frame 210 is annular and surrounds the multiple base rods 230. The base frame 210 includes two opposing long base frame strips 211, two opposing short base frame strips 212, and four base corner protectors 213. Adjacent long base frame strips 211 and short base frame strips 212 are connected by a base corner protector 213. The multiple base rods 230 are arranged side by side, and the two ends of each base rod 230 are respectively connected to two of the long base frame strips 211. The mounting strips 220 are located on the side of the base rod away from the top cover 100 and are connected to the base rod. The mounting strips 220 are used to fix the base rod to the top of the vehicle. The base rods 230, the long base frame strips 211, and the short base frame strips 212 are all made of carbon fiber material. The above design further reduces the weight of the rooftop tent 10, making it easier to transport and install.

[0039] like Figure 6 As shown, the support frame 510 includes a first mounting base 520, a second mounting base 530, a first hinge member 540, and a second hinge member 550. The first mounting base 520 is fixed to the inner side of the top cover 100, specifically installed on the inner side of the top frame 120; the second mounting base 530 is fixed to the inner side of the base 200, specifically installed on the inner side of the bottom frame 210. The first hinge member 540 and the second hinge member 550 are cross-hinged, with one end of each hinge member connected to the first mounting base 520 and the other end connected to the second mounting base 530.

[0040] In this embodiment, the top cover 100 and the base 200 are connected by a support frame 510. The opening and closing of the top cover 100 is achieved by controlling the rotation between the first hinge member 540 and the second hinge member 550. Since the top of the first hinge member 540 and the top of the second hinge member 550 work together on the first mounting base 520, the force is then transmitted to the top cover 100. The bottom of the first hinge member 540 and the bottom of the second hinge member 550 work together on the second mounting base 530, the force is then transmitted to the base 200. This ensures that the two ends of the first mounting base 520 and the two ends of the second mounting base 530 are subjected to stable forces. It also ensures that the rear ends of the top cover 100 and the rear ends of the base 200 are subjected to surface forces. The large force-bearing area of ​​the rear ends of the top cover 100 and the rear ends of the base 200 improves the stability of the roof tent 10.

[0041] In this embodiment, after the rooftop tent 10 is unfolded, the rear end of the roof cover 100 and the rear end of the base 200 are separate and not connected by hinges or other structures. This increases the height of the roof cover 100 after it is opened, thereby increasing the interior space of the tent. Meanwhile, since the roof cover 100 is tilted downwards towards the rear, the weight of the roof cover 100 is mainly borne by the support frame 510. The support frame 510 adopts a combined structure of a first mounting base 520, a second mounting base 530, a first hinge component 540, and a second hinge component 550, which effectively ensures the load-bearing capacity of the support frame 510 for the roof cover 100.

[0042] Specifically, the first hinge component 540 includes a first hinge portion 541 and a second hinge portion 542. The first end of the first hinge portion 541 is hinged to the first mounting base 520, the second end of the first hinge portion 541 is hinged to the first end of the second hinge portion 542, and the second end of the second hinge portion 542 is hinged to the second mounting base 530.

[0043] Correspondingly, the second hinge component 550 includes a third hinge portion 551 and a fourth hinge portion 552. The first end of the third hinge portion 551 is hingedly connected to the first mounting base 520, the second end of the third hinge portion 551 is hingedly connected to the first end of the fourth hinge portion 552, and the second end of the fourth hinge portion 552 is hingedly connected to the second mounting base 530. The second hinge portion 542 is hingedly connected to the third hinge portion 551. This design reduces the space occupied by the first hinge component 540 and the second hinge component 550. Of course, in other embodiments, the first hinge component 540 and the second hinge component 550 can also be a single integral structure.

[0044] like Figure 7 As shown, further, in one specific embodiment, the first hinge portion 541 includes two first hinge pieces 5411, which are fitted together, and the first ends of the two first hinge pieces 5411 are hingedly connected to the first mounting base 520. The second hinge portion 542 includes two second hinge pieces 5421, which are arranged opposite to each other, and the second ends of the two first hinge pieces 5411 are located between the two second hinge pieces 5421 and hingedly connected to the first ends of the two second hinge pieces 5421. The second ends of the two second hinge pieces 5421 are hingedly connected to the second mounting base 530.

[0045] The third hinge portion 551 includes two third hinge pieces 5511, which are fitted together. The first ends of the two third hinge pieces 5511 are hingedly connected to the first mounting base 520. The fourth hinge portion 552 includes two fourth hinge pieces 5521, which are arranged opposite to each other. The second ends of the two third hinge pieces 5511 are located between the two fourth hinge pieces 5521 and are hingedly connected to the first ends of the two fourth hinge pieces 5521. The second ends of the two fourth hinge pieces 5521 are hingedly connected to the second mounting base 530. The third hinge piece 5511 passes through the gap between the two second hinge pieces 5421 and is hingedly connected to the second hinge piece 5421.

[0046] With the above design, since each hinge is composed of two hinge pieces, the strength of the hinge can be increased; and with the hinge design in which the third hinge piece 5511 passes through the gap between the two second hinge pieces 5421, the third hinge piece 5511 is tightened by the two second hinge pieces 5421 to improve the stability of the support frame 510.

[0047] It should be noted that the two first hinge pieces 5411 have the same shape, the two second hinge pieces 5421 have the same shape, the two third hinge pieces 5511 have the same shape, and the two fourth hinge pieces 5521 have the same shape, in order to facilitate the processing and procurement of the support frame 510.

[0048] In other embodiments, the hinge may also consist of one or more hinge pieces, which can be selected according to the thickness of the corresponding hinge piece and the size of the roof tent 10.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first hinge piece 5411, the second hinge piece 5421, the third hinge piece 5511, and the fourth hinge piece 5521 are all arc-shaped. This design results in higher yield strength for the first hinge piece 5411, the second hinge piece 5421, the third hinge piece 5511, and the fourth hinge piece 5521, and also allows for more natural movement of the hinge pieces when unfolding or folding.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first hinge piece 5411, the second hinge piece 5421, the third hinge piece 5511, and the fourth hinge piece 5521 are all made of carbon fiber. Since hinge structures or support structures are generally made of metal, especially in large rooftop tents 10, this further increases the weight of the rooftop tent 10, making it very inconvenient to transport and install, increasing fuel consumption, and causing wear and tear. This embodiment uses carbon fiber for all hinge pieces, reducing the weight of the rooftop tent 10 and increasing the service life of the support frame 510. In particular, this embodiment can simultaneously use carbon fiber for parts of the roof cover 100, parts of the base 200, and parts of the support frame 510, achieving a significant reduction in the weight of the rooftop tent 10.

[0051] In this embodiment, the support rod 310 is telescopic, with one end hinged to the base 200 and the other end inserted into the top cover 100. This design allows for control of the opening angle of the top cover 100 and facilitates easy assembly and disassembly of the support frame 510. When the roof tent 10 is folded, the top of the support rod 310 detaches from the top cover 100 and rests against the inner side of the bottom frame 210 after folding. When the roof tent 10 is unfolded, the support rod 310 can be lifted, stretched, and inserted into the insertion hole of the top cover 100, making the operation simple and convenient.

[0052] The above description, in conjunction with specific optional embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of this application and should not be construed as limiting the specific implementation of this application to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of this application, and all such modifications or substitutions should be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
