[0030] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, it is one embodiment of the utility model: a tent closing auxiliary device, including roof 10, underframe 20, front support 30, rear support 40, first guide mechanism 50 and pull rope 60;Roof 10 is located above underframe 20;Front support 30 is located between roof 10 and underframe 20 front, can longitudinally extend and shorten, to after the extension, prop up roof 10 front end, shorten after the roof 10 front end is put down;Rear support 40 is located between roof 10 and underframe 20 rear, can longitudinally extend and shorten, to after the extension, prop up roof 10 rear end, shorten after the roof 10 rear end is put down;First guide mechanism 50 is installed in underframe 20 front;The rear end of pull rope 60 extends between underframe 20 and roof 10 rear, the front end of pull rope extends forward after winding through first guide mechanism 50 rear upward, and is connected with roof 10 front, so as to when the rear end of pull rope 60 is pulled back, drive roof 10 front end to drop.

[0032] In the utility model, the rear end of pull rope 60 extends between underframe 20 and roof 10 rear, the front end of pull rope extends forward after winding through first guide mechanism 50 rear upward, and is connected with roof 10 front, so as to when the rear end of pull rope 60 is pulled back, drive roof 10 front end to drop.

[0033] Specifically, the pull rope 60 is arranged at intervals left and right with two, the first guide mechanism 50 is arranged at intervals left and right with two, the front end of the pull rope 60 on the corresponding side is wound through the first guide mechanism 50 on the corresponding side, and then extends upward respectively.

[0034] As Figures 5 to 8 As shown in the figure, it is another embodiment of the utility model, and the difference from the last embodiment is: the second guide mechanism 70 is fixedly arranged in the front part of roof 10, the front end of pull rope 60 is wound through the first guide mechanism 50, then is wound through the second guide mechanism 70 and then extends downward, and is finally connected to the front part of underframe 20, so as to when the rear end of pull rope 60 is pulled back, drive roof 10 front end to drop;Specifically, the front end of pull rope 60 extends downward and is fixedly connected to the front side of the first guide mechanism 70 in the front part of underframe 20;

[0035] It can be understood that the front end of the pull rope 60 is wound through the first guide mechanism 50, then through the second guide mechanism 70, and then extends downward and is connected to the front of the base frame 20. When the rear end of the pull rope 60 is pulled backward, the front end of the ceiling 10 will be lowered, and the second guide mechanism 70 arranged on the ceiling 10 will be lowered along with the front end of the ceiling 10. Therefore, the first guide mechanism 50 is equivalent to a fixed pulley arranged on the base frame 20, and the second guide mechanism 70 is equivalent to a movable pulley. In this way, the pull rope 60 is connected to the ceiling 10 and the base frame 20. When the user pulls the rear end of the pull rope 60, only a small force is needed to shorten the front support 30 in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the second guide mechanism 70 is arranged, and the front end of the pull rope 60 is wound through the first guide mechanism 50 and the second guide mechanism 70 in the above-mentioned manner and then fixed to the front of the base frame 20. This can facilitate the user to shorten the front support 30 in the longitudinal direction and save more effort.

[0036] Specifically, the pull rope 60 is arranged in two left and right intervals, and the first guide mechanism 50 is arranged in two left and right intervals. The front end of the pull rope 60 on the corresponding side is wound through the corresponding first guide mechanism 50 and then extends upward.

[0039] Further, the rear end of the pull rope 60 is connected and fixed with a handle 61 for a person to hold, so as to facilitate the user to hold and exert force.

[0040] Preferably, the front support 30 is arranged in two, which are respectively located at the front left between the ceiling 10 and the base frame 20 and at the front right between the ceiling 10 and the base frame 20.

[0041] The rear support 40 is arranged in two, which are respectively located at the rear left between the ceiling 10 and the base frame 20 and at the rear right between the ceiling 10 and the base frame 20.

[0042] Preferably, the front support 30 includes a first support rod 31 and a second support rod 32. The upper end of the first support rod 31 is pivotally connected to the bottom of the ceiling 10. The lower end of the first support rod 31 and the upper end of the second support rod 32 are pivotally connected to each other. The lower end of the second support rod 32 is pivotally connected to the base frame 20. When the front support 30 is shortened in the longitudinal direction, the lower end of the first support rod 31 and the upper end of the second support rod 32 are folded backward.

[0043] The rear support 40 comprises a third support rod 41 and a fourth support rod 42, the upper end of the third support rod 41 is swingingly hinged at the bottom of the roof 10, the lower end of the third support rod 41 and the upper end of the fourth support rod 42 are swingingly hinged with each other, and the lower end of the fourth support rod 42 is swingingly hinged on the chassis 20, when the rear support 40 is longitudinally shortened, the lower end of the third support rod 41 and the upper end of the fourth support rod 42 are folded forward by swinging.

[0044] Specifically, the pulling direction of the pulling rope 60 is consistent with the folding direction of the front support 30.

[0045] Further, the front support and each rear support are correspondingly provided with a lifting auxiliary device, which is used for assisting the longitudinal elongation of the front support and the rear support, and is also used for buffering when the front support and the rear support are longitudinally shortened, so as to prevent the roof 10 from falling too fast and avoid collision with the chassis 20.

[0046] Specifically, the lifting auxiliary device 80 is a gas spring 81, the gas spring 81 corresponding to the front support 30 is located at the front side of the front support 30, the upper end of the gas spring 81 is swingingly hinged on the first support rod 31, and the lower end of the gas spring 81 is swingingly hinged on the chassis 20 at the front side of the second support rod 32.

[0047] The gas spring 81 corresponding to the rear support 40 is located at the rear side of the rear support 40, the upper end of the gas spring 81 is swingingly hinged on the third support rod 41, and the lower end of the gas spring 81 is swingingly hinged on the chassis 20 at the rear side of the fourth support rod 42, so as to automatically jack up when the front support and the rear support are longitudinally elongated, and to buffer when the front support and the rear support are longitudinally shortened, which is a conventional technical means, and the jacking up and buffering processes will not be described in detail.

[0048] Specifically, the front end of the chassis 20 is fixed at one end of the roof near the front of the vehicle, and the rear end of the chassis 20 is fixed at one end of the roof near the rear of the vehicle.

[0049] The positional terms mentioned in the present specification are defined with respect to the structure shown in the drawings, and are relative concepts, so it is possible to change accordingly according to different positions and different use states. Therefore, these or other positional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive terms.

[0050] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not a limitation on the design of the present application. Any equivalent changes made on the basis of the key design of the present application shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
