Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this disclosure, and not all of them. This disclosure can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this disclosure. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure. Example

[0035] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides a side-opening folding tent for vehicle roofs, including a box 1 with a side opening and a tent fabric 2, and also includes the following components:

[0036] The first base plate 3 is located at the opening of the box 1 and is connected to the inner wall of the box 1 and the lower end of the base plate via the first hinge 15, so as to realize the function of flipping down to open or flipping up to close.

[0037] The second base plate 4 is located on the front side of the first base plate 3 and is connected to the first base plate 3 by the second hinge 12 to form a foldable structure.

[0038] The movable support rod 10 is connected at one end to the inner wall of the box 1 and at the other end to the edge of the first base plate 3, providing additional support and stability;

[0039] The first base plate 3 and the second base plate 4 are respectively provided with a first snap-fit ​​member 17 and a second snap-fit ​​member 18 that can be interlocked. When the two base plates are laid out in parallel, a stable connection is achieved through the snap-fit ​​members.

[0040] The outer side of the box 1 is equipped with a lock cover 7, and the first bottom plate 3 is provided with a lock seat 8, which makes it easy to close the box by locking the lock seat 8 through the lock cover 7, thus achieving compact storage.

[0041] The tent is mainly composed of a box body 1, a tent fabric 2, a first base plate 3, a second base plate 4, a movable support pole 10, snap fasteners, a locking cover 7, and a locking seat 8. By designing the tent as a foldable structure, especially with the first base plate 3 and the second base plate 4 connected by hinges, the tent can be compactly stored in the box body 1 when not in use, making it easy to carry and store.

[0042] When needed, the user can fold down and open the first base plate 3 and the second base plate 4 via hinges to form a flat bottom. At the same time, the tarpaulin 2 can be unfolded and fixed to the frame of the box 1 to form a space for sunshade or rain protection.

[0043] The active support rod 10 is connected to the inner wall of the box 1 at one end and to the edge of the first bottom plate 3 at the other end, providing additional support for the tent. This design ensures that the tent remains stable even in strong winds or under heavy pressure, preventing it from collapsing.

[0044] When the first bottom plate 3 and the second bottom plate 4 are laid out parallel, the user can securely connect them together through the clamping piece. This design not only enhances the stability of the tent, but also makes the tent more flat and comfortable when in use.

[0045] When the tent is no longer in use, the user can fold the tent cloth 2 and store it in the box 1, then flip up the first bottom plate 3 and the second bottom plate 4. At this time, the lock cover 7 can be securely locked on the lock seat 8, ensuring the compactness and safety of the tent.

[0046] Referring to Figure 2 , a support bar 5 is added below the first bottom plate 3, and a foot pad 6 is configured below the support bar 5 to enhance stability and ground protection.

[0047] The support bar 5 is made of lightweight and strong materials such as aluminum alloy or carbon fiber to ensure that it can provide sufficient support without increasing the overall weight of the tent.

[0048] The cross-sectional shape of the support bar 5 is rectangular to ensure that it can effectively distribute weight and provide stable support.

[0049] The support bar 5 can be fixed to the first bottom plate 3 through bolts, nuts or other connecting pieces to form a stable bottom structure.

[0050] The foot pad 6 is usually made of wear-resistant, soft and elastic materials to ensure that it can effectively protect the ground and provide cushioning. The foot pad 6 is tightly attached to the bottom of the support bar 5 to prevent the support bar 5 from directly contacting the ground.

[0051] The foot pad 6 can be connected to the support bar 5 through adhesion, bolt fixation or other means to ensure its stability and durability during use.

[0052] Referring to Figure 3 , the first bracket 11 is connected to the active part of the second hinge 12 and can be flipped and stored. The first bracket 11 is designed in the shape of a "door" and can be placed outside the second bottom plate 4 after being flipped down and can be completely stored in the box 1, used to support the tent cloth 2.

[0053] The first bracket 11 is made of lightweight but strong materials such as aluminum alloy or carbon fiber to ensure that it can provide sufficient support without increasing the overall weight of the tent.

[0054] The shape of the support is "door" type, with two parallel support arms and a connecting arm. The length and width of the support arms should be designed according to the size and structure of the tent, and the tent is connected to the box 1 and the bottom plate and is supported by the first support 11 to ensure that it can effectively support the canopy 2 and provide stable support.

[0055] The first support 11 is connected to the movable part of the second bottom plate 4 through the second hinge 12. This connection allows the support to be easily flipped and stored.

[0056] When the support is needed, the user can flip it out of the storage state and support it on the ground or a suitable height support. The support arms of the support should be unfolded to form a rectangular structure with the connecting arm.

[0057] When the support is no longer in use, the user can flip it back to the storage state and tightly fit it on the outside of the second bottom plate 4 or the inner wall of the box 1. In order to ensure the stability of the support, some locking mechanisms or buckles can be designed to fix the position of the support.

[0058] The edges of the canopy 2 should be designed with fixing devices that match the first support 11, such as ropes, hooks or buckles, etc. These fixing devices should be firmly connected to the canopy 2 and can be easily connected to the support arms of the support.

[0059] When the support supports the canopy 2, the user should ensure that the canopy 2 is evenly stretched and fixed on the support to prevent the canopy 2 from loosening or sagging.

[0060] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 , second supports 14 are provided on both sides of the first bottom plate 3 and the front side of the second bottom plate 4 to further support the canopy 2 and ensure the stability of the tent structure.

[0061] The second support 14 can increase the support points of the tent as a whole, thereby distributing the weight and pressure borne by the canopy 2, improving the wind resistance and stability of the tent. Especially in bad weather conditions, this design can ensure that the tent is not easily collapsed or damaged.

[0062] By providing a support on the front side of the second bottom plate 4, the front part of the canopy 2 can be supported, thereby increasing the sense of space and comfort inside the tent. At the same time, it helps to improve the ventilation and lighting conditions inside the tent.

[0063] The second support 14 is usually designed to be foldable or detachable, which facilitates the user to quickly install and disassemble when setting up and storing the tent. This design improves the portability and ease of use of the tent.

[0064] Referring to Figure 3 , the upper surfaces of the first bottom plate 3 and the second bottom plate 4 are paved with mats 13 to improve the comfort of use.

[0065] The mat 13 has a certain thickness and elasticity, and can provide appropriate cushioning and support. This helps to reduce the pressure between the user's body and the ground, improving sleep quality.

[0066] Referring to Figure 2 The lower surface of the second bottom plate 4 is connected with a connecting seat 16, and the telescopic ladder 9 is arranged on the connecting seat 16 and can be folded and stored, so that the user can safely and conveniently enter and exit the tent.

[0067] The telescopic ladder 9 is designed to enable the user to easily and safely enter and exit the tent, and in particular when the tent is built on uneven or high ground, the telescopic ladder 9 can be stored on the connecting seat 16 when not in use, tightly attached to the back of the second bottom plate 4 and folded with the second bottom plate 4 into the box 1, so that the tent is more neat and orderly.
