Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 One embodiment provided by this utility model:

[0023] A rooftop tent includes a base frame 1. A support plate 2 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the base frame 1. A connector 3 and a water tank 6 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the base frame 1. A first lever 4 and a second lever 5 are movably connected to the surface of the base frame 1. An installation tube 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the base frame 1. A plug tube 9 is inserted into the inner surface of the installation tube 8. A sliding groove 10 and a locking groove 11 are formed on the surface of the installation tube 8. A locking block 12 and a fixing plate 17 are fixedly connected to the surface of the plug tube 9. A support spring 13 and a partition plate 14 are movably connected to the inner surface of the plug tube 9. A plug block 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the partition plate 14.

The system includes a through hole 16, a mounting plate 17 with an insertion hole 18, a base frame 1 with a pressure plate 19, a connecting plate 20 fixedly connected to the pressure plate 19, and a connecting hole 21. The base frame 1 and the support plate 2 form a 2CM ultra-thin platform load-bearing structure that supports the user and is installed on the top of the vehicle. By installing a water tank 6 on the surface of the base frame 1, the water problem during camping can be solved, meeting the needs for drinking, washing, and cooking outdoors. There is no need to frequently search for water sources to replenish, making the camping trip more relaxed and comfortable. A bamboo ladder is installed outside the vehicle to allow the user to enter the tent.

[0024] Furthermore, there are two sets of connectors 3. One set of connectors 3 is installed on the surface of the first lever 4, and the other set of connectors 3 is installed on the surface of the second lever 5. There are two connectors 3 in each set. Each set of connectors 3 is installed on both sides of the base frame 1. The size of the first lever 4 is larger than the size of the second lever 5. The first lever 4 and the second lever 5 are installed on the surface of the base frame 1 through the connectors 3. When not in use, the first lever 4 and the second lever 5 can be rotated and stored in sequence. At the same time, the first lever 4 and the second lever 5 form the double-peak structure of the roof tent and support the tent fabric. They can provide stable shelter in bad weather, allowing users to rest peacefully inside the tent.

[0025] Furthermore, there are two sets of mounting pipes 8, which are installed on both sides of the base frame 1. Each set of mounting pipes 8 consists of two pipes. The outer diameter of the insert 9 is the same as the inner diameter of the mounting pipe 8. There are two sets of sliding grooves 10, slots 11 and blocks 12. Under the action of the mounting pipes 8, the insert 9 can be installed, thereby achieving the installation effect of the pressure plate 19.

[0026] Furthermore, two sets of sliding grooves 10 and slots 11 are formed on both sides of the mounting tube 8, and two sets of locking blocks 12 are installed on both sides of the insert 9. The surface of the sliding groove 10 is "L" shaped, and the locking blocks 12 are slidably connected to the surfaces of the sliding groove 10 and the slots 11. With the connection between the locking blocks 12 and the sliding grooves 10 and the slots 11, the insert 9 can be limited and installed on the inner surface of the mounting tube 8.

[0027] Furthermore, one end of the support spring 13 abuts against the surface of the base frame 1, and the other end of the support spring 13 abuts against the surface of the partition plate 14. The partition plate 14 abuts against the inner surface of the insert 9, and the diameter of the partition plate 14 is the same as the inner diameter of the insert 9. The insert block 15 is inserted into the surfaces of the through hole 16, the connecting hole 21, and the insert hole 18. The support spring 13 can apply a supporting force to the surface of the partition plate 14 and push the insert 9 to always tend to move outward towards the mounting tube 8, thereby causing the locking block 12 to... The engagement with the slot 11 is more secure, and the support force applied by the support spring 13 is sufficient to prevent the engagement effect between the block 12 and the slot 11 from being canceled due to vehicle bumps. Under the action of the partition 14, the insertion block 15 can be limited. With the connection between the insertion block 15 and the through hole 16, the connecting hole 21 and the insertion hole 18, the connecting plate 20 can be limited on the surface of the insertion cylinder 9 and the fixing plate 17, thereby realizing the installation limit of the pressure plate 19. The insertion block 15 is composed of two parts: a cylinder and a hemisphere.

[0028] Furthermore, the diameter of the through hole 16 is the same as the diameter of the insertion hole 18, the surface of the fixing plate 17 is U-shaped, and the two sides of the fixing plate 17 are fixedly connected to the surface of the insertion tube 9. The diameter of the insertion hole 18 is the same as the diameter of the connecting hole 21. The diameters of the through hole 16, the insertion hole 18 and the connecting hole 21 are the same to achieve the installation effect of the insertion block 15. The fixing plate 17 can limit the connecting plate 20 in the direction perpendicular to the supporting force applied by the support spring 13.

[0029] Furthermore, the surface of the pressure plate 19 is U-shaped, and the pressure plate 19 abuts against the surface of the second lever 5. Two sets of connecting plates 20 are provided, and the two sets of connecting plates 20 are installed at both ends of the pressure plate 19. The connecting plates 20 are inserted into the surfaces of the fixing plate 17 and the insert 9. The pressure plate 19 has a certain elasticity and can produce elastic deformation. With the connection of the connecting plate 20, the insert 9, and the fixing plate 17, the installation effect of the pressure plate 19 can be achieved. Moreover, by abutting the second lever 5 with the pressure plate 19, the limiting effect of the second lever 5 and the first lever 4 can be achieved.

[0030] Working principle: When storing the rooftop tent, first rotate the first lever 4 and the second lever 5 connected to the two sets of connectors 3 to the side of the base frame 1, so that the second lever 5 abuts against the surface of the first lever 4. Then, insert the connecting plates 20 on both sides of the pressure plate 19 between the insert 9 and the fixing plate 17, and adjust the holes of the through hole 16, the insertion hole 18 and the connecting hole 21 to align them. At the same time, insert the insert block 15 into the holes of the three, so that the support spring 13 and the partition plate 14 are placed on the inner surface of the insert 9. At this time, press the pressure plate 19 against the surface of the second lever 5 and place the inserts 9 at both ends of the second lever 5 inside and outside. On both sides, the locking block 12 on the insert 9 is aligned with the slide groove 10 and moved along its surface, so that the insert 9 is inserted and rotated inside the mounting tube 8. The support spring 13 is placed inside the mounting tube 8 and is compressed by the base frame 1 and the partition plate 14. When the locking block 12 moves to the slot 11, the insert 9 is released. Under the support force applied by the support spring 13, the insert 9 moves to the outside of the mounting tube 8, so as to drive the locking block 12 to engage with the surface of the slot 11, thereby completing the installation of the pressure plate 19 and making it abut against the second lever 5, thereby achieving the limiting of the first lever 4 and the second lever 5.
