Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rooftop tent fixing technology, specifically to a rooftop tent fixing bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Rooftop tent mounting brackets are a key component of outdoor camping equipment, providing a safe and stable mounting base for the rooftop tent. Through high-strength materials and a precise structural design, they tightly connect the tent to the vehicle roof, effectively resisting driving vibrations, wind impacts, and the effects of complex road conditions, ensuring the tent remains stable throughout use.

[0003] However, when using traditional roof tent mounting brackets on ordinary family SUVs (compact models), the roof length is less than two meters, and the opening of the tailgate restricts the installation of the roof tent. As a result, the tent extends beyond the windshield, which is unsightly and unsafe. Furthermore, the sunroofs of most ordinary family SUVs (compact models) protrude outwards when opened, exceeding the roof rack. To avoid the sunroof opening, the installation height of the roof tent needs to be raised, which increases the vehicle's height, reduces its passability, and makes its center of gravity less stable. Therefore, a new roof tent mounting bracket is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a rooftop tent mounting bracket includes a vehicle body 1 (vehicle body 1 is prior art and will not be described in detail here). Two parallel roof rack longitudinal bars 2 are fixedly installed on the top of the vehicle body 1. Each roof rack longitudinal bar 2 is provided with two sets of fixing seat assemblies 4. Each set of fixing seat assemblies 4 is provided with a claw assembly 3 for fixing the fixing seat assembly 4. A rotating bracket 5 is rotatably installed inside each set of fixing seat assemblies 4. A locking assembly 6 is rotatably installed on each rotating bracket 5 to engage with the adjacent fixing seat assembly 4. A rooftop tent 7 (rooftop tent 7 is prior art and will not be described in detail here) is installed on the top of the vehicle body 1. Each rotating bracket 5 is rotatably connected to the side of the rooftop tent 7. It should be noted that a suitable installation position is first selected on the top of the vehicle body 1 so that the rooftop tent 7, after installation, will not exceed the windshield or affect the rear. The door is opened, and then each set of latch components 3 is installed with the corresponding roof rack longitudinal bar 2. When the vehicle body 1 is in driving mode, the roof tent 7 needs to be folded and retracted, and the roof tent 7 is pulled towards the rear of the vehicle body 1 to a certain extent. At the same time, the roof tent 7 will be lowered. Then, each set of latch components 6 is engaged with the adjacent fixing seat components 4 to make the roof tent 7 as low as possible when the vehicle body 1 is in driving mode. When the vehicle body 1 is parked, first, each set of latch components 6 is unlocked with the adjacent fixing seat components 4, and the roof tent 7 is pulled towards the front of the vehicle body 1 to a certain extent. At the same time, the roof tent 7 will be raised. On the one hand, the roof tent 7 does not affect the opening of the tailgate of the vehicle body 1. On the other hand, the roof tent 7 is raised to avoid interference with the opening of the sunroof. Moreover, the interior of the roof tent 7 can be entered through the sunroof without the need for an external ladder, which is convenient and quick.

[0025] The fixed seat assembly 4 includes a fixed seat 401. Two fixed seats 401 are provided on each of the longitudinal bars of the luggage rack 2. Each fixed seat 401 is provided with a first locking block 402 and a second locking block 403. Each rotating bracket 5 is rotatably installed inside the corresponding fixed seat 401. Each rotating bracket 5 is rotatably connected to the side of the roof tent 7. It should be noted that when the roof tent 7 is pulled towards the rear of the vehicle body 1 to a certain extent, the roof tent 7 will lower. At this time, the rotating bracket 5 will gradually rotate horizontally. When the roof tent 7 is pulled towards the front of the vehicle body 1 to a certain extent, the roof tent 7 will rise. At this time, the rotating bracket 5 will gradually rotate vertically horizontally.

[0026] The claw assembly 3 includes a first fixing claw 301. Each fixing seat 401 has an L-shaped first fixing claw 301 on its side wall and an L-shaped second fixing claw 303 on its side wall. Each second fixing claw 303 and the adjacent first fixing claw 301 form a rectangular frame structure that surrounds the corresponding luggage rack vertical bar 2. It should be noted that since each second fixing claw 303 and the adjacent first fixing claw 301 form a rectangular frame structure that surrounds the corresponding luggage rack vertical bar 2, the luggage rack vertical bar 2 can be effectively clamped by each second fixing claw 303 and the adjacent first fixing claw 301.

[0027] The claw assembly 3 also includes screws 302. Each fixing claw 301 is threaded with several screws 302, and each screw 302 is threaded to the interior of the adjacent fixing seat 401. Each fixing claw 303 is threaded with several screws 304, and each screw 304 is threaded to the interior of the adjacent fixing seat 401. It should be noted that by rotating each screw 302 to separate it from the corresponding fixing seat 401, and then rotating each screw 304 to separate it from the corresponding fixing seat 401, the fixing claws 301 and 303 can be replaced according to the cross-sectional shape of the roof rack longitudinal bar 2 of different models. Other parts are interchangeable, saving costs.

[0028] The locking assembly 6 includes a locking buckle 601. Each rotating bracket 5 is rotatably mounted with a locking buckle 601. Each locking buckle 601 has a first slot 602 and a second slot 603. It should be noted that when the roof tent 7 is pulled towards the rear of the vehicle body 1 to a certain extent, the roof tent 7 will lower. At this time, the rotating bracket 5 will gradually rotate to the horizontal. Then, the locking buckle 601 will be rotated to engage the first slot 602 with the first block 402. When the roof tent 7 is pulled towards the front of the vehicle body 1 to a certain extent, the roof tent 7 will rise. At this time, the rotating bracket 5 will gradually rotate to the vertical and horizontal. Then, the locking buckle 601 will be rotated to engage the second slot 603 with the second block 403.

[0029] Each of the first slots 602 is adapted to the adjacent first slot 402, and each of the second slots 603 is adapted to the adjacent second slot 403. It should be noted that the adaptation of each of the first slots 602 to the adjacent first slot 402 and each of the second slots 603 to the adjacent second slot 403 can better ensure that the current state of the rotating bracket 5 is stabilized.

[0030] In summary:

[0031] First, select a suitable installation position on the top of the vehicle body 1, ensuring that the roof tent 7, once installed, does not extend beyond the windshield or obstruct the tailgate opening. Then, install each set of latch components 3 with the corresponding roof rack longitudinal bar 2. When the vehicle body 1 is in motion, the roof tent 7 needs to be folded and retracted, and pulled towards the rear of the vehicle body 1 to lower it. Then, engage each set of latch components 6 with the adjacent fixing seat components 4 to keep the roof tent 7 as low as possible when the vehicle body 1 is in motion. When the vehicle body 1 is parked, first unlock each set of latch components 6 with the adjacent fixing seat components 4, and pull the roof tent 7 towards the front of the vehicle body 1 to raise it. This ensures that the roof tent 7 does not obstruct the opening of the tailgate of the vehicle body 1, and also avoids interfering with the sunroof opening. Furthermore, the interior of the roof tent 7 can be accessed through the sunroof without the need for an external ladder, making it convenient and quick.
