Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rooftop tent technology, and in particular to a rooftop tent suitable for various environments. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, most families now own cars. To facilitate travel, many car owners install crossbars on their roofs to support objects. When traveling by car, they usually bring tents to provide shade for passengers. Rooftop tents, also known as "homes on the roof," are tents installed on the roof of a vehicle. Most existing rooftop tents are folding tents with a sunshade at the top. The folding and opening of the tent are controlled by hydraulic cylinders. These tents are large and heavy, increasing the height of the vehicle and thus increasing wind resistance. Existing inflatable rooftop tents require the use of an air pump to inflate the air cushion and air column separately before installation, which is very troublesome. Furthermore, existing rooftop tents can only be used on the roof and cannot be used on the ground. Even when the ground has suitable conditions for using a tent, users still need to climb onto the roof, causing inconvenience.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent application number 202221483722.3 discloses a portable rooftop tent, including a rooftop platform, a first tent frame, and a second tent frame. The two ends of the first and second tent frames rotate within corresponding corner brackets. The first and second tent frames are connected by first curved rods and straight rods via connectors. By installing three first tent frames and two second tent frames within the corner brackets and fixing the tent fabric to the first and second tent frames, it can be used as a portable rooftop tent. It can be installed on a rooftop platform with accessory slots via buckles in the second tent frame. However, while this portable rooftop tent can meet the needs of setting up on a vehicle roof and the ground, its sealing performance is poor, making it unsuitable for use on water to meet users' water camping needs, thus limiting its use. Furthermore, its multiple frame structures provide overall support for the tent, making the setup method relatively complex and slow. Summary of the Invention
