Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive supplies technology, and in particular relates to a quick-opening car side canopy. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, outdoor camping has gradually become one of the essential recreational activities for people. Self-driving tours are the most popular and convenient way to travel for outdoor camping. People usually bring tents and camping supplies and put them in the trunk of their car. However, the trunk has very limited capacity, which often results in the trunk being filled up, thus limiting the amount of camping supplies that can be carried. A new type of vehicle-side tent has recently appeared on the market, eliminating the need to place the tent in the rear compartment. Instead, it can be unfolded and stored on the side of the vehicle. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN202222947173.7, entitled "Anti-interference Folding Vehicle-Side Tent," discloses an anti-interference folding vehicle-side tent, including a mounting base, several support poles, a tent fabric, and a limiting structure. The tent fabric is set on the mounting base and the support poles. The support poles are rotatably mounted on the mounting base. The support poles can rotate outward around the mounting base to unfold the tent fabric in a fan shape, or rotate inward around the mounting base to fold the tent fabric. A limiting structure is provided on the support pole with the maximum rotation angle. When the support pole with the maximum rotation angle rotates to 180°, the limiting structure restricts further rotation.

[0003] However, this method of directly rotating the support rod onto the mounting base results in a smaller coverage area of ​​the tarpaulin after the side canopy is opened, affecting the overall usability. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a quick-opening car side awning to solve the technical problem that the awning covers a small area after the side awning is opened.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a quick-opening car side canopy, comprising a storage rack, a mounting base, several inner support rods, and a canopy fabric. The mounting base is fixed on the storage rack, the inner support rods are rotatably disposed within the mounting base, a connecting member is movably disposed outside the inner support rods, and an outer support rod is rotatably disposed within the connecting member. The canopy fabric is mounted on the inner and outer support rods. The inner and outer support rods can be rotated around the mounting base to allow the canopy fabric to unfold or fold in a fan shape.

[0006] Furthermore, the storage rack is provided with mounting seats at both ends, and several inner support rods are movably installed in the mounting seats on both sides. Several hinge points are arranged diagonally on the mounting seats, and each hinge point corresponds to an inner support rod. When the tarpaulin is in the folded state, the several inner support rods are folded parallel to each other in the mounting seats, and the outer support rods are folded in the connectors. When the tarpaulin is in the unfolded state, the maximum angle formed between the outer support rods on both sides is 270°.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a second extension frame, which has an inclined placement position. The front and rear ends of the second extension frame and the first extension frame are stacked alternately. The upper and lower ends of the second extension frame are alternately provided with third fixing slots. The third fixing slot at the lower end of the second extension frame and the second fixing slot at the upper end of the first extension frame are correspondingly provided. The fixing part is detachably provided in the third fixing slot and the second fixing slot.

[0008] Furthermore, the connector is located at the outermost hinge point of the mounting base, and the connector is located at the rotation point between the mounting base and the inner support rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the connector is located on the upper and lower sides of the inner support rod, and the connector has a first connecting hole and a second connecting hole. The connector is movably disposed at the hinge of the inner support rod and the mounting base through the first connecting hole, and the outer support rod is hinged in the second connecting hole.

[0010] By using the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: By movably setting a connector between the mounting base and the outermost inner support rod of the mounting base, and rotating an outer support rod within the connector, the car side awning has a two-stage unfolding method. First, several inner support rods are rotated outward around the mounting base to make the awning unfold in a fan shape. Then, the outer support rod located in the connector of the outermost inner support rod is rotated so that it moves in the same direction as the inner support rod, thereby fully unfolding the awning. Under the same unfolding angle, this unfolding method increases the coverage area by at least 10% compared with car side awnings on the market. This new opening method not only solves the technical problem of the small coverage area of ​​the awning after the side awning is opened, but also has the advantages of being more convenient to open and having a more novel style.

[0023] like Figure 1-5The diagram shows a quick-opening car side canopy, comprising a storage rack 1, a mounting base 2, several inner support rods 3, and a canopy 4. The mounting base 2 is fixed to the storage rack 1. The inner support rods 3 are rotatably mounted within the mounting base 2. A connecting piece 5 is movably mounted outside the inner support rods 3, and an outer support rod 6 is rotatably mounted within the connecting piece 5. The canopy 4 is mounted on the inner support rods 3 and the outer support rods 6. The inner support rods 3 and the outer support rods 6 can be rotated around the mounting base 2 to allow the canopy 4 to unfold or fold in a fan shape. The storage rack 1 is rectangular and is generally fixed to one side of the roof rack by bolts. When not in use, the side canopy is folded, with the inner support rods 3 and the outer support rods 6 folded inside the mounting base 2. The storage rack is wrapped with a storage bag, and the folded storage rack is held in the storage bag, which is opened or closed via a zipper, thus enabling quick opening and folding of the car side canopy.

[0024] By movably installing a connector 5 between the mounting base 2 and the outermost inner support rod 3 of the mounting base 2, and rotating an outer support rod 6 within the connector 5, the car side canopy can have a two-stage unfolding method. First, several inner support rods 3 are rotated outward around the mounting base 2 to unfold the canopy 4 in a fan shape. Then, the outer support rod 6 located within the connector of the outermost inner support rod 3 is rotated, causing it to move in the same direction as the inner support rods 3, thereby fully unfolding the canopy. Figure 5 As shown, this unfolding method, with the same unfolding angle, increases the coverage area by at least 10% compared to existing car side awnings on the market, thus solving the technical problem of the small coverage area of ​​the awning after it is opened.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown: The storage rack 1 has mounting bases 2 at both ends. Each mounting base 2 has several inner support rods 3 that are movably installed inside it. The mounting base 2 has several hinge points 201 arranged diagonally. Each hinge point is hinged to an inner support rod 3. When the tarpaulin 4 is in the folded state, the inner support rods 3 are folded parallel to each other inside the mounting base 2, and the outer support rods 6 are folded inside the connector 5. When the tarpaulin 4 is in the unfolded state, the maximum angle formed between the outer support rods 6 on both sides is 270°.

[0026] By setting mounting bases 2 on both sides of the storage rack 1, when unfolded, the inner support rods 3 located in the mounting bases 2 on both sides move from the inside to the outside and outwards. When fully unfolded, the two sides can form a tarpaulin 4 with a maximum angle of 270°.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown: Connector 5 is located at the outermost hinge point 201 of the mounting base 2, at the point of rotation between the mounting base 2 and the inner support rod 3. A rotating shaft is provided within the hinge point 201, forming the hinged rotation point, thereby allowing the connector 5, the inner support rod 3, and the outer support rod 6 to move. Figure 2As shown: Connector 5 is located on the upper and lower sides of the inner support rod 3. Connector 5 has a first connecting hole 501 and a second connecting hole 502. Connector 5 is movably mounted at the hinge point between the inner support rod 3 and the mounting base 2 through the first connecting hole 501. The outer support rod 6 is hinged within the second connecting hole 502. Figure 4 As shown, connector 5 is L-shaped.

[0028] By setting mounting seats 2 on both sides of the storage rack 1, one mounting seat 2 has three hinge points, and each of the three hinge points is hinged with an inner support rod 3. The hinge point of the outermost inner support rod 3 is hinged with connecting pieces 5 on the upper and lower sides. An outer support rod 6 is hinged between the upper and lower connecting pieces 5. The other mounting seat 2 has one hinge point, and this hinge point is equipped with connecting pieces 5 in the same manner. An outer support rod 6 is hinged between the connecting pieces 5. When the support rods on both sides are unfolded, a canopy with a maximum angle of 270° is formed. The resulting coverage area is at least 10% larger than that of side canopies on the market. This new opening method not only solves the technical problem of the small coverage area of ​​the canopy after the existing car side canopy is opened, but also has the advantages of more convenient opening and a more novel style.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
