TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of vehicle equipment, especially a guide assembly for a roof tent. BACKGROUND
[0002] Automobiles are widely used as a means of transportation in today's society. During long-distance driving, it is necessary to spend the night and rest. In addition to finding a place to live, people will also choose to carry a tent or spend the night in the car. The tent occupies a large space in the car and is relatively troublesome to assemble. Moreover, not all environments and times are suitable for setting up a tent.
[0003] Patent CN202221902322.1 discloses a roof tent, which includes a base, a side folding surface, a rear folding surface, a top surface, and an air rod. The base is fixed above the roof of the vehicle. The base is rotatably connected to the side folding surface on both sides. The top surface is fixed to the upper side of the side folding surface and the front side of the base. The rear side of the side folding surface is provided with an air rod. The upper side of the rear folding surface is connected to the top surface, and the lower side is connected to the bottom surface in an openable manner. The air rod is opened, the side folding surface is raised, and the roof tent is opened. The air rod is closed, the rear folding surface is folded towards the top surface, and the side folding surface is folded to form a plate. The roof tent is folded. Although the tent makes use of the roof space, the tail is triangular, and the utilization rate is low. When lying down, the feet cannot reach the edge. SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the defects of the prior art, the main purpose of the utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and disclose a guide assembly for a roof tent. The guide assembly comprises an upper support, a lower support, an upper connecting rod, a lower connecting rod, an outer fork arm, and an inner fork arm. The upper support and the lower support are connected to the roof and the vehicle. The outer fork arm is hingedly connected to the inner fork arm. The lower end of the outer fork arm is hingedly connected to the lower support. The upper end of the inner fork arm is hingedly connected to the upper support. The two ends of the upper connecting rod are hingedly connected to the upper support and the upper end of the outer fork arm, respectively. The two ends of the lower connecting rod are hingedly connected to the lower support and the lower end of the inner fork arm, respectively.
[0005] Further, the outer fork arm comprises two symmetrical first side plates. The two first side plates are fixedly connected by a first connecting part and a second connecting part.
[0006] Further, the lower connecting rod comprises two symmetrical second side plates. A third connecting part is arranged between the two second side plates.
[0007] Further, an air gap is recessed on the surface of the inner fork arm.
[0008] Further, a second buffer pad is arranged on the outer fork arm.
[0009] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0010] 1. The guide assembly unfolds diagonally upwards through a six-bar linkage structure.
[0011] 2. A third connecting part is set in the lower link to increase the strength of the lower link and at the same time limit the folding angle of the lower link to prevent it from jamming in the reverse direction when unfolded.
[0012] 3. The outer fork arm is strengthened by setting a first connecting part and a second connecting part, and at the same time, it forms a receiving groove with the first side plate, so that the inner fork arm can be folded into the receiving groove when it is retracted, thereby improving the space utilization rate.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0019] A guide component for a rooftop tent, such as Figs. 1-3 As shown, the guide assembly 2 includes an upper support 1, a lower support 2, an upper connecting rod 3, a lower connecting rod 4, an outer fork arm 5, and an inner fork arm 6. The upper support 1 and the lower support 2 connect the roof and the vehicle. The outer fork arm 5 and the inner fork arm 6 are hinged together in an X-shape. The lower end of the outer fork arm 5 is hinged to the lower support 2, and the upper end of the inner fork arm 6 is hinged to the upper support 1. Both ends of the upper connecting rod 3 are hinged to the upper ends of the upper support 1 and the outer fork arm 5, respectively. Both ends of the lower connecting rod 4 are hinged to the lower ends of the lower support 2 and the inner fork arm 6, respectively. With the above structure, when the guide assembly 2 is deployed, the upper support 1 and the lower support 2 form an angled structure, and the upper support 1 moves upward synchronously.
[0020] In one embodiment, such as Figs. 1-3As shown, the outer fork arm 5 includes two first side plates 51 arranged symmetrically, and the two first side plates 51 are fixedly connected through a first connecting portion 52 and a second connecting portion 53. The two first side plates 51 and the first connecting portion 52 form a downward accommodating groove, and the two first side plates 51 and the second connecting portion 53 form an upwardly open accommodating groove. When the guide assembly 2 is folded, the inner fork arm 6 is accommodated in the upper and lower accommodating grooves, so that the structure is compact and the space utilization is improved. Meanwhile, the first connecting portion 52 and the second connecting portion 53 are arranged to improve the strength of the outer fork arm 5.
[0021] In an embodiment, as shown in the drawings, Figs. 1-3 A buffer pad 54 is arranged on the outer fork arm 5. When the guide assembly 2 is in the retracted state, the buffer pad 54 contacts the roof to limit the position, and avoids the outer fork arm 5 from contacting the upper support 1.
[0022] In an embodiment, as shown in the drawings, Figs. 1-3 The lower connecting rod 4 includes two second side plates 41 arranged symmetrically, and a third connecting portion 42 is arranged between the two second side plates 41. The third connecting portion 42 is arranged to improve the strength of the lower connecting rod 4, and cooperates with the lower support 2 to limit the rotation angle of the lower connecting rod 4, so that the rotation angle of the lower connecting rod 4 is not excessively large when retracted, and the inner fork arm 6 is not reversely stuck when unfolded again.
[0023] In an embodiment, as shown in the drawings, Figs. 1-3 The surface of the inner fork arm 6 is concavely provided with an air avoidance groove 61. The upper support is fixed to the roof by screws and the like, so that part of the upper support protrudes. The inner fork arm 6 is closest to the hinge of the upper support 1, and the air avoidance groove 61 is arranged to accommodate the mounting screw.
[0024] In use, as shown in the drawings, Figs. 1-3 The lower support 2 is arranged on the side of the roof of the vehicle, and the upper support 1 is connected to the roof. When unfolded, the upper support 1 provides upward thrust to the roof, and the guide assembly guides the roof to move obliquely upward, so that the roof is in an inclined state. When the guide assembly is retracted, the outer fork arm 5 and the inner fork arm 6 are cross-rotated and folded, the inner fork arm 6 is hidden in the accommodating groove of the outer fork arm 5, the third connecting portion 42 is arranged on the lower connecting rod 4 to limit the rotation angle of the lower connecting rod 4 when retracted, a second buffer pad is arranged on the outer fork arm to contact the roof when retracted, and the limiting effect is achieved.
[0025] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not used to limit the implementation range of the utility model; if the utility model is modified or replaced equivalently without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, it should be covered in the protection range of the utility model claim.
