Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to a support component, a multi-purpose sunshade device that can switch application scenarios, and an outdoor tent. Background Technology

[0002] With social development and technological progress, cars have become commonplace in every household and have become one of the main means of transportation for people's daily travel. While providing convenience for people's travel, the concentration of urban population has made it difficult for cities to meet the demand for parking spaces, which has also brought about the problem of parking difficulties. In particular, the limited number of underground garages has resulted in a large number of vehicles being left outdoors exposed to the elements.

[0003] Due to the intense summer sun, vehicles parked outdoors can experience excessively high interior temperatures when exposed to direct sunlight. This reduces comfort for passengers and accelerates the aging of interior materials, such as leather, plastic components, and wiring. Furthermore, high temperatures may cause interior trim, including plastic seats, to release harmful gases, posing a health risk to passengers.

[0004] To address this technical issue, various car sunshades have emerged on the market. However, a common problem with these sunshades is that they require manual opening and closing, which is inconvenient.

[0005] Therefore, on June 15, 2022, the applicant proposed an installation structure, a fully automatic car sunshade and a vehicle luggage rack (authorization announcement number: CN217917584) to solve the problems of existing car sunshades: "(1) the sunshade needs to be opened and closed manually, and the process of opening and closing the sunshade is inconvenient; (2) the sunshade disassembly and assembly process is cumbersome; (3) the process of disassembling and assembling the sunshade may cause scratches to the vehicle".

[0006] However, the fully automatic car awning proposed by the applicant on June 15, 2022, still has a relatively limited function, primarily used on vehicles. With the increasing popularity of outdoor recreation, more and more people are choosing to embrace nature in their leisure time, setting up tents or awnings outdoors to enjoy the outdoors. During outdoor recreation, people typically carry tents or awnings to shield themselves from the sun, wind, and rain. A multi-functional device that can serve as both a vehicle awning and a tent or awning for outdoor recreation would likely be favored by this group. Utility Model Content

[0044] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. The directional terms mentioned in the embodiments of this application, such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," and "outer," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of this application, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application. "Multiple" refers to at least two.

[0046] In the embodiments of this application, "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship. The terms "including," "containing," "having," and their variations all mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0047] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0048] The first aspect of this utility model provides a support component, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support assembly includes a connecting seat 10 and a support leg 20.

[0049] The connector 10 includes a downwardly extending wall portion 11, a connecting space 12 defined by the wall portion 11, and an upwardly extending connecting lug 13 having a first mounting hole 14. A support leg 20 supports the connector 10 and the object to be connected on the connector 10. One end of the support leg 20 extends into the connecting space 12 and connects to the connector 10. The hinge point between the support leg 20 and the connector 10 is located in the connecting space 12.

[0050] In some embodiments, at least two support legs 20 are provided, and one end of each support leg 20 is hinged to the connecting seat 10 within an angle range of α, defined by the connecting space 12. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the opening angle of the two supporting legs 20 has a limit; the maximum opening angle is the angle at which the two supporting legs 20 open when they contact the walls on both sides of the connecting space 12. Therefore, the value of α is related to the distance between the walls on both sides of the connecting space 12 and the angle between the walls. The greater the distance, the larger the limit value of α; the larger the angle between the walls, the larger the limit value of α. Those skilled in the art are capable of selecting a suitable value of α based on actual conditions and needs.

[0051] In one optional embodiment, two hinge points are provided in the connection space 12, and each of the two support legs 20 is connected to one hinge point.

[0052] Furthermore, the support leg 20 employs a telescopic structure, allowing adjustment of its length and, consequently, its height to suit user needs. Specifically, the support leg 20 comprises segment A 20a, segment B 20b, and a limiting structure. One end of segment A 20a is hinged to the connecting seat 10. Segment B 20b is slidably connected to segment A 20a along its length. The limiting structure is used to lock or unlock the relative position between segment A 20a and segment B 20b.

[0053] In one optional embodiment, the limiting structure can be a combination of holes and buttons. Specifically, the button is located on the outer wall of segment A 20a, and segment B 20b is formed as a hollow structure. Segment A 20a is inserted into segment B 20b and slidably connected to segment B 20b. Multiple through holes are spaced apart along the length of segment B 20b. The button is formed by a combination of a button and a spring. When length adjustment is required, segments A 20a and B 20b are pulled in opposite directions, causing the button to enter the through hole and act as a limiter. Pressing the button releases the limit between segments A 20a and B 20b. This structure is widely used in existing technologies, such as the limiting structure on the handle of an umbrella. Based on the telescopic structure, the supported height of the object supported by the supporting leg 20 can be adjusted.

[0054] The specific applications of the support component will be discussed in detail later.

[0055] The second aspect of this utility model provides a multi-purpose sunshade device that can be switched for different application scenarios, such as... Figures 1-7 As shown, the multi-purpose sunshade device with switchable application scenarios includes an awning 30 and the aforementioned support assembly.

[0056] The awning 30 includes a housing 31 with a receiving chamber and a shielding assembly 32 disposed within the housing 31. The shielding assembly 32 can be housed within the housing 31 or extend out of the housing 31 to form a shielding barrier. A support assembly is detachably connected to the awning 30 and is used to support the awning 30 and form a shielding barrier at a predetermined height.

[0057] Therefore, the multi-purpose sunshade device of this utility model, which can be used to switch application scenarios, can be used to provide a shield for vehicles, reduce the direct sunlight received by vehicles when they are outdoors, lower the temperature inside the vehicle, thereby extending the service life of leather and plastic products and wiring inside the vehicle, and prevent the release of harmful gases by interior decorations such as plastic seats at high temperatures, which would affect the health of drivers and passengers. Alternatively, the sunshade 30 can be removed, unfolded, and supported by the support components to form the main structure of an outdoor tent or an outdoor canopy.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, a mounting structure 40 is provided on the housing 31. The support assembly and the awning 30 are detachably connected via the mounting structure 40. Another function of the mounting structure 40 is to mount the awning on the top of the vehicle.

[0059] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the mounting structure 40 includes a mounting base 41 and fasteners. The mounting base 41 is provided with a second mounting hole 42 that can be aligned and adapted to the first mounting hole 14. The fasteners are used to fasten the mounting base 41 and the connecting seat 10 or to release the fixed connection between the mounting base 41 and the connecting seat 10.

[0060] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 7 As shown, the fastener includes a bolt 43a, a through hole or bolt hole 43b provided on the mounting base 41, and a nut 43c adapted to the bolt 43a. The head of the bolt 43a is located inside the housing 31, and the shank extends from outside the housing 31 into the through hole or bolt hole 43b and is partially exposed outside the through hole or bolt hole 43b. The portion of the shank exposed outside the through hole or bolt hole 43b is connected to the nut 43c to fasten the mounting base 41 and the housing 31.

[0061] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, a sliding groove 33 arranged along the length of the housing 31 can be provided at the bottom of the housing 31. The shank of the bolt 43a is located in the sliding groove. The mounting base 41 can be slidable and fixed by the cooperation of the bolt 43a and the nut 43c, thereby adjusting the spacing between the mounting bases 41. Adjusting the spacing between the mounting bases 41 is actually adjusting the fulcrum of the support assembly or the mounting point of the sunshade on the vehicle. Adjusting the position of the fulcrum allows the sunshade to better adapt to uneven terrain. Adjusting the mounting point allows the sunshade to be adapted to vehicles of different widths. It should be noted that when the sunshade is installed on the roof of the vehicle, it is usually connected to the longitudinal bars on both sides of the roof through a mounting structure or with the help of other structures (such as clamps).

[0062] In a preferred embodiment, at least two mounting structures 40 are provided. The mounting structure 40 is disposed at the bottom of the housing 31 and slidably connected to the housing 31 along its length. This increases the stability of the awning, whether it is mounted on a vehicle roof or supported by a support assembly to form a canopy.

[0063] In one optional embodiment, a groove 33 is provided at the bottom of the housing 31 along the length of the housing 31. The shank of the bolt 43a is located in the groove 33, and the mounting base 41 is slidable and fixed by the cooperation of the bolt 43a and the nut 43c. This achieves a sliding connection of the mounting structure 40 on the housing 31.

[0064] The third aspect of this utility model provides an outdoor tent, such as... Figure 8As shown, the outdoor tent includes a multi-purpose sunshade device with switchable application scenarios and a tent fabric 50. The tent fabric 50 is connected to the awning 30. Specifically, the tent fabric 50 can be connected to hooks (not shown in the figures) provided on the awning 30. Furthermore, multiple multi-purpose sunshade devices with switchable application scenarios can be combined together to form a tent with a larger volume.

[0065] By combining the support components and the awning with the above technical solution, it can serve as a barrier to shade vehicles from the sun, as well as a canopy or tent for outdoor leisure. This achieves multiple uses with one set of equipment, solving the problem that existing vehicle sunshade devices have limited functionality and are difficult to switch between different application scenarios.

[0066] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other, and any combination of features from different embodiments is also within the scope of protection of this application. In other words, the multiple embodiments described above can also be arbitrarily combined according to actual needs. All the above figures are exemplary illustrations of this application and do not represent the actual size of the product, and the dimensional ratio between the components in the figures is not intended to limit the actual product of this application.

[0067] The above are merely some embodiments and implementation methods of this application. The scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
