Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of RV technology, specifically to a roof lifting and locking mechanism for RVs. Background Technology

[0002] A motorhome, also known as a "home on wheels," combines the functions of a "house" and a "vehicle," but its primary attribute is still that of a vehicle—a mobile vehicle equipped with essential home amenities. As people's overall demands for motorhomes increase, requiring them to meet space requirements while also accommodating height restrictions and underground parking, pop-top motorhomes have emerged to address these needs. However, the lack of rigid support due to the fabric outer shell of pop-top motorhomes makes them prone to roof collapse. Therefore, this invention proposes a solution to the problems of supporting and locking the pop-top roof of motorhomes.

[0003] The existing technology, such as the RV roof lifting and locking mechanism with application number "202320488515.5", has a first support plate that is installed and connected to the lifting roof through a first hinge row, and a second support plate that is installed and connected to the RV body through a third hinge row. The installation of each component uses bolts and nuts, which is simple to install and has a firm connection. In addition, the first support plate and the second support plate have a larger support area and better support effect, and are not prone to load-bearing deformation.

[0004] However, in actual use, when strong winds occur, the first and second support plates are hinged and rotate relative to each other. As a result, the wind force exerts a large thrust on the first and second support plates, causing the adjustable locking mechanism to bear a large force. Since there is no other support, the adjustable locking mechanism on the windward side is prone to deformation and damage, which will subsequently affect the stability of the roof.

[0005] Therefore, a roof-lifting and locking mechanism for RVs is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a roof lifting and locking mechanism for RVs.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A roof lifting and locking mechanism for a motorhome includes a motorhome shell and a canopy roof. A support structure for supporting a soft canopy structure is provided between the motorhome shell and the canopy roof. The support structure includes a first support rod and a second support rod that are hinged to each other. The soft canopy structure includes a first soft canopy and a second soft canopy that are hinged to each other. The support structures are locked together by a roof lifting and limiting structure, which includes a telescopic sleeve, a telescopic rod, and a limiting bolt.

[0009] Furthermore, one end of the first support rod and the second support rod are respectively hinged to the RV shell and the roof of the RV canopy.

[0010] Furthermore, the first soft canopy and the second soft canopy are respectively connected to the first support rod and the second support rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the telescopic rod and the telescopic sleeve are slidably adapted to each other, and the telescopic rod and the telescopic sleeve are respectively rotatably connected to the hinges of the two supporting structures.

[0012] Furthermore, a limiting groove is provided on each of the corresponding sides inside the telescopic sleeve, and a limiting slider is provided on each of the corresponding sides of the telescopic rod to slide and adapt to the limiting groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the limiting bolt is threaded onto the telescopic sleeve, and the telescopic rod has a limiting slot that matches the limiting bolt.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This utility model provides support for the first and second soft canopies through its supporting structure. After the canopy roof is raised, inserting the limiting bolts into the limiting slots allows the two sets of supporting structures to support each other, making the soft canopy structure more stable and reducing the degree of deformation. Therefore, the canopy roof is more stable. Attached Figure Description

[0026] like Figure 1-5As shown, a roof lifting and locking mechanism for a motorhome includes a motorhome shell 1 and a roof 4. A support structure 2 is provided between the motorhome shell 1 and the roof 4 to support a soft canopy structure 3. The support structure 2 includes a first support rod 201 and a second support rod 202 that are hinged to each other. The soft canopy structure 3 includes a first soft canopy 301 and a second soft canopy 302 that are hinged to each other. The support structures 2 are locked together by a roof lifting and locking limit structure 5, which includes a telescopic sleeve 501, a telescopic rod 502, and a limiting bolt 503. Specifically, the motorhome shell 1 and the roof 4 are locked together by a support structure 2 that supports a soft canopy structure 3. The canopy roof 4 can be raised and lowered directly using a scissor-type lifting structure, which is existing technology. Therefore, its structure will not be described in detail here. It can be installed on the inside of the canopy roof 4. After the canopy roof 4 is lowered, it can cover the lifting structure. The first support rod 201, the second support rod 202, the telescopic sleeve 501 and the telescopic rod 502 are all rigid support structures. The limiting bolt 503 can fix the extension length of the telescopic rod 502. The soft canopy structure 3 is composed of a waterproof layer, a heat insulation layer and a protective layer. It can play a good role in windproofing and heat preservation when used in RVs.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, one end of the first support rod 201 and the second support rod 202 are respectively hinged to the RV shell 1 and the RV roof 4.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the first soft canopy 301 and the second soft canopy 302 are respectively connected to the first support rod 201 and the second support rod 202; specifically, the first soft canopy 301 and the second soft canopy 302 bend inward toward the inside of the RV, so that they can be retracted into the interior of the canopy roof 4 after the roof is lowered.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the telescopic rod 502 and the telescopic sleeve 501 are slidably adapted to each other, and the telescopic rod 502 and the telescopic sleeve 501 are respectively rotatably connected to the hinges of the two support structures 2.

[0030] like Figure 3 and 4As shown, a limiting groove 5011 is provided on each of the corresponding sides inside the telescopic sleeve 501, and a limiting slider 5021 that slides and adapts to the limiting groove 5011 is provided on each of the corresponding sides of the telescopic rod 502. Specifically, the outward extension length of the telescopic sleeve 501 and the telescopic rod 502 is a fixed value. When the first soft canopy 301 and the second soft canopy 302 are fully extended and raised, the telescopic sleeve 501 and the telescopic rod 502 are at their longest length. At this time, the limiting slot 5022 on the telescopic rod 502 is adapted to the limiting slot 5022 on the telescopic sleeve 501. At this time, the limiting bolt 503 can be screwed into the limiting slot 5022 to fix the length of the telescopic rod 502, thus playing a limiting role for the two sets of support structures 2.

[0031] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the limiting bolt 503 is threaded on the telescopic sleeve 501, and the telescopic rod 502 is provided with a limiting slot 5022 that is compatible with the limiting bolt 503.

[0032] In summary: After the roof 4 of the carport is raised, the first support rod 201 and the second support rod 202 will remain vertical due to the traction, and the telescopic rod 502 will also extend to its maximum length. Then, the limiting bolt 503 is inserted into the corresponding limiting slot 5022 to lock the raising and lowering of the carport. In the event of wind, the two sets of support structures 2 can remain relatively stable, thus improving its windproof effect.

[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
