Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tents, specifically to a rooftop tent with a waterproof structure. Background Technology
[0002] As living standards improve, more and more people are choosing self-driving tours to relax. Folding tents are often used for accommodation during self-driving tours. However, some folding tents are still too bulky to be placed in the car, so rooftop tents have emerged.
[0003] Rooftop tents are typically designed to be foldable through hinges and a canopy structure. Currently, the hinges used in rooftop tents only have a rotating function, meaning that only the sides of the tent can be unfolded at an angle relative to the bottom. This results in limited interior space. Another issue is that rooftop tents often have window structures, and the window frames are usually connected to the tent body using single-axis hinges. These hinges have many drawbacks: they are not flexible to operate, are easily damaged, and have a limited opening and closing angle. When the window is opened, gaps appear at the hinges, which can easily lead to water leakage. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0030] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding of this utility model, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0031] like Figure 1-10 As shown, a rooftop tent with a waterproof structure includes a base frame 1 and a top cover frame 2. A tent fabric is placed between the base frame 1 and the top cover frame 2. A base plate 3 is placed inside the base frame 1. An upturned panel 4 is rotatably mounted on the base plate 3 corresponding to the position of the car window (a pull rope or other structure can be provided on the side where the upturned panel 4 covers the base plate 3 to facilitate opening the upturned panel 4, depending on the usage requirements). A top cover plate 5 is placed inside the top cover frame 2. A first support mechanism and a folding mechanism are symmetrically arranged between the base frame 1 and the top cover frame 2. A window bottom frame 6 is also provided on the top cover plate 5. A window top frame 7 is connected to one side of the window bottom frame 6 through a waterproof structure. A second support mechanism is symmetrically arranged between the window top frame 7 and the window bottom frame 6. The waterproof structure includes a first rotating component 8 and a second rotating component 9. One end of the first rotating component 8 is connected to the window bottom frame 6, and the other end is integrally formed with a first connecting part. One end of the second rotating component 9 is connected to the window top frame 7, and the other end is integrally formed with a second connecting part. The first connecting part is fitted inside the second connecting part and rotates.
[0032] In use, the tent is fixed to the vehicle roof via the structure at the bottom of the base frame 1 (refer to existing technology, not described in detail here), aligning the top-flipping panel 4 with the vehicle window, allowing personnel to enter the tent from this position. The tent can be opened or folded using the folding mechanism and the first support mechanism, enabling simultaneous rotation, unfolding, and lifting, facilitating tent operation and increasing the unfolding height of the tent sides, thus expanding the usable space inside. Then, according to usage needs, auxiliary functions such as opening windows can be added. A waterproof structure is installed between the bottom window frame 6 and the top window frame 7, and corresponding connecting parts are provided on the two rotating parts, allowing them to function as hinges. This eliminates the need for separate traditional hinge accessories, meaning there are no installation gaps between the two rotating parts, preventing water leakage when opening. Furthermore, simply fitting the two rotating parts together simplifies operation and allows for different window opening angles, even greater than 90°, greatly improving the flexibility and stability of the window.
[0033] Specifically, a first cylindrical groove is formed on the first connecting part, and a second cylindrical groove is formed on the second connecting part. Both the first and second cylindrical grooves are provided with notches, and the first cylindrical groove is fitted into the second cylindrical groove for rotation. Limiting connectors are also provided at both ends of the first cylindrical groove to limit and fix the second cylindrical groove. A locking structure is also provided between the other side of the window bottom frame 6 and the window top frame 7. The locking structure includes a locking shaft 10, a locking block 11, and a locking groove 12. The locking groove 12 is provided on the window top frame 7, and the locking shaft 10 passes through the window bottom frame 6. A knob 13 is provided at one end of the locking shaft 10, and the other end is connected to the locking block 11. The knob 13 controls the rotation of the locking shaft 10 so that the locking block 11 is locked in the locking groove 12 or disengaged from the locking groove 12. A limiting block 14 for limiting the knob 13 is also provided on the window bottom frame 6.
[0034] The above design facilitates the installation and operation of the two rotating parts. When the window needs to be opened, rotating the knob 13 causes the locking shaft 10 to rotate, thereby rotating the locking block 11 and disengaging it from the locking groove 12. This pushes the top frame 7 of the window outward, and the second connecting part rotates along the first connecting part, allowing for opening at different angles until the second support mechanism is fully deployed for stable support. When the door needs to be closed, pulling the second support mechanism causes the top frame 7 of the window to rotate in the opposite direction until it covers the bottom frame 6 of the window, placing the locking block 11 in the locking groove 12. Rotating the knob 13 locks the door, achieving complete closure of the door. This effectively avoids the risk of water leakage at the window and improves the usability of the tent.
[0035] Specifically, the folding mechanism includes a first fixing rod 15, a second fixing rod 16, a first folding member 17, and a second folding member 18. The first fixing rod 15 is connected to the base frame 1, and the second fixing rod 16 is connected to the top cover frame 2. One end of the first folding member 17 is connected to one end of the first fixing rod 15 via a first pivot 19, and the other end of the first folding member 17 is connected to a first connecting rod 21 via a second pivot 20. The other end of the first connecting rod 21 is connected to one end of the second fixing rod 16 via a third pivot 22. One end of the second folding member 18 is connected to the other end of the second fixing rod 16 via a fourth pivot 23, and the other end of the second folding member 18 is connected to a second connecting rod 25 via a fifth pivot 24. The other end of the two connecting rods 25 is connected to the other end of the first fixed rod 15 via the sixth pivot 26, and the first folding member 17 and the second folding member 18 are cross-connected via the seventh pivot 27. The first fixed rod 15 and the second fixed rod 16 are both provided with storage slots. The first folding member 17, the second folding member 18, the first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 25 are all folded and placed between the two storage slots. The first folding member 17 and the second folding member 18 each include two rotating rods, and the two rotating rods of the first folding member 17 are located between the two rotating rods of the second folding member 18. The first connecting rod 21 is located in the middle of the two rotating rods of the first folding member 17, and the second connecting rod 25 is located in the middle of the two rotating rods of the second folding member 18.
[0036] The folding mechanism designed above, through the coordinated design of the folding parts and the connecting rod, can achieve simultaneous rotation, unfolding and lifting, which facilitates the operation and use of the tent. Because the folding mechanism has a certain unfolding height, it can increase the unfolding height of the tent sides and expand the usable space inside the tent. The folding parts and the connecting rod can also be folded into the storage slot of the fixed pole at the same time, which greatly reduces the folding volume of the hinge, that is, reduces the overall folding volume of the tent.
[0037] Specifically, the first fixing rod 15 is symmetrically provided with a first slot 28, and the second fixing rod 16 is symmetrically provided with a second slot 29. The storage slots of the first fixing rod 15 and the second fixing rod 16 are provided with connecting holes at intervals. A connecting block extends from one side of the storage slot. After the hinge is folded, the first slot 28 and the second slot 29 are symmetrically locked at the outer end of the seventh rotating shaft 27. The connecting block is located between the two rotating rods at corresponding positions. The two rotating rods of the first folding member 17 are symmetrically provided with a third slot 30, a fourth slot 31, a fifth slot 32 and a sixth slot 33. The two rotating rods of the second folding member 18 are symmetrically provided with a seventh slot 34 and an eighth slot 35. After the hinge is folded, the fourth slot 31 and the seventh slot 34 overlap and lock the third rotating shaft 22, the fifth slot 32 and the eighth slot 35 overlap and lock the sixth rotating shaft 26, the third slot 30 locks the fourth rotating shaft 23, and the sixth slot 33 locks the fifth rotating shaft 24.
[0038] The aforementioned design, with its slotted designs at various locations, provides a certain limiting and locking effect when the hinge is folded, allowing the pivot and slot to engage accordingly. This improves the overall stability of the hinge during folding, prevents accidental unfolding, and enhances the tent's stability and safety. The connecting block can include a connecting rod and a connector for attaching to the corresponding base frame 1 and top cover frame 2. The width of the connecting rod is smaller than the distance between two rotating rods at the corresponding folding positions, allowing the connecting rod to fold between the two rotating rods, thus reducing the folded volume.
[0039] Specifically, the first and second support mechanisms have identical structures, each including a support rod 36 and two mounting seats. The mounting seats are respectively fixed to the corresponding base frame 1, top cover frame 2, window top frame 6, and window bottom frame 7. The two ends of the support rod 36 are rotatably connected to the two corresponding mounting seats. This design not only facilitates the unfolding and folding of the support structure but also provides support, improving the stability of the tent.
[0040] Specifically, a shelf is also provided on the side of the window bottom frame 6 with the waterproof structure. The shelf includes two rotating brackets 37, one end of which is rotatably connected to the window bottom frame 6. An L-shaped support frame is formed on the rotating bracket 37. This design allows for the placement of electronic devices such as books and mobile phones on the shelf, depending on usage needs. The rotating brackets are adjustable to accommodate items of different sizes, thus enhancing the tent's functionality.
[0041] Specifically, a locking mechanism is provided between the base frame 1 and the top cover frame 2. The locking mechanism includes a latch 38 and a locking plate 39. A fixed seat 40 is provided on the base frame 1, and a rotating block 41 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 40. The latch 38 is located on the top cover frame 2, and the locking plate 39 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 40. The rotating block 41 controls the rotation of the locking plate 39, causing the locking plate 39 to engage with or disengage from the latch 38. This design allows the tent to be locked after folding, preventing accidental force from opening it and improving the safety of tent use.
[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should recognize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
