Detailed Implementation
[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0025] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a vehicle-mounted canopy includes a support base 10, a canopy 82, a canopy retraction device 81, and a telescopic device 30. One end of the canopy 82 is connected to the canopy retraction device 81, and the other end of the canopy 82 is provided with an outer cover device 20. The canopy retraction device 81 is disposed on the support base 10 and is used for winding the canopy 82 onto it. Support arms 40 are pivotally connected to both sides of the support base 10. The telescopic device 30 is disposed on the support base 10 and is used to push the support arms 40 to rotate relative to the support base 10. The support arms 40 are pivotally connected to the outer cover device 20.
[0026] In this embodiment, the support base 10 is a storage box, and by fixing the storage box to the roof racks on both sides of the vehicle or the roof platform, its function is to store the other components inside, serving both a protective and decorative purpose.
[0027] When opening the screen 82, the user gently pulls the outer cover device 20 with one hand. As the outer cover device 20 is pulled, the screen retraction device 81 unrolls the screen 82. At the same time, the telescopic device 30 extends, pushing the support arm 40 to rotate outward relative to the support base 10. Since the support arm 40 is pivotally connected to the outer cover device 20, as the support arm 40 rotates outward relative to the support base 10, it can drive the outer cover device 20 to move, providing thrust to assist in opening the screen 82. This reduces the pulling force on the outer cover device 20 and the screen 82. Therefore, the vehicle-mounted skylight provided by this utility model, through the use of a support base and screen... 82. The combination of the curtain retraction device 81 and the telescopic device 30 allows the extension of the telescopic device 30 to provide thrust assistance when the user gently pulls the curtain 82 and the outer cover device 20, helping to quickly pull out the curtain 82 and extend it to its fully unfolded state. This reduces the difficulty and effort required for operation, making the curtain 82 easier and faster to pull out, saving time and reducing the difficulty of opening the curtain 82. Compared with the prior art, which requires two people to open the curtain 82, this utility model allows one person to open the curtain 82, and the efficiency of single-person operation is increased by 50%, improving the efficiency of single-person operation and reducing the difficulty and effort required for operation.
[0028] The telescopic device 30 includes two gas struts corresponding to the two support arms 40 respectively. The housing of each gas strut is hinged to the support base 10, and the power output end of the gas strut is hinged to the corresponding support arm 40. The gas struts extend, pushing the support arm 40 to rotate outward relative to the support base 10, thus assisting in opening the canopy. Conversely, the gas struts retract, pushing the support arm 40 to rotate inward relative to the support base 10, facilitating the storage of the canopy. Preferably, the gas struts are inert gas struts.
[0029] Of course, the telescopic device 30 can also be other types, such as a hydraulic cylinder. However, using a gas strut for the telescopic device 30 is a preferred embodiment of this invention, as it facilitates installation and use.
[0030] The support arm 40 includes a main body 41 and an extension tube 50. The extension tube 50 is movably sleeved with the main body 41. A locking device 60 is provided on the extension tube 50, and a locking engagement structure is provided on the main body 41. The locking device 60 includes a lock cylinder 63, which engages with the locking engagement structure to lock the extension tube 50 onto the main body 41. The extension tubes 50 of the two support arms 40 are pivotally connected to the outer cover device 20. The outer cover device 20 is provided with an unlocking device 22 for engaging the locking device 60 to disengage the lock cylinder 63 from the locking engagement structure. When stored, the locking cylinder 63 of the locking device 60 engages with the locking mechanism to lock the extension tube 50 onto the main body 41, thereby keeping the support arm 40 stable during storage. When in use, by operating the unlocking device 22, the locking device 60 can be activated to disengage the locking cylinder 63 from the locking mechanism, allowing the extension tube 50 to move relative to the main body 41, thereby extending the length of the support arm 40 and allowing the curtain 82 to extend accordingly.
[0031] Both ends of the outer cover device 20 are pivotally connected to a front rod 28. The front rod 28 is rotated downwards and placed on the ground to provide support.
[0032] The locking device 60 includes a fixed base 64, a locking linkage 62, a first locking elastic reset element 66, and a second locking elastic reset element. The locking linkage 62 is movably mounted on the fixed base 64, and the first locking elastic reset element 66 is disposed between the fixed base 64 and the locking linkage 62. The lock cylinder 63 is linked with the locking linkage 62, and the locking linkage 62 is connected to the unlocking device 22 via a cable harness 65. The second locking elastic reset element is disposed between the lock cylinder 63 and the locking linkage 62. The unlocking device 22 includes an unlocking base 21, an unlocking elastic reset element 25, a movable button 23, and an unlocking linkage 24. The movable button 23 is movably mounted on the unlocking base 21, the unlocking elastic reset element 25 is disposed between the movable button 23 and the unlocking base 21, the unlocking linkage 24 is movably mounted on the unlocking base 21 and is linked with the movable button 23, and the cable harness 65 is disposed between the unlocking linkage 24 and the locking linkage 62. When the active button 23 is pressed down, the active button 23 compresses the unlocking elastic reset element 25, which can push the unlocking linkage 24 through the active button 23, and drive the locking linkage 62 forward through the cable harness 65. During the forward movement of the locking linkage 62, the first locking elastic reset element 66 is compressed, so that the lock cylinder 63 is moved through the locking linkage 62. During the movement of the lock cylinder 63, the second locking elastic reset element is compressed and disengages from the locking engagement structure, thus unlocking. After the locking linkage 62 moves forward to the front limit position relative to the fixed seat 64, the locking linkage 62, the fixed seat 64 and the extension tube 50 move forward relative to the main body 41 and extend to the maximum length under the pulling action of the cable harness 65, and the length of the curtain 82 is extended accordingly.
[0033] The locking linkage 62 is provided with a guide groove 68, and the lock cylinder 63 is movably engaged with the guide groove 68. From the end of the guide groove 68 near the cable harness 65 to the end away from the cable harness 65, the guide groove 68 is inclined away from the locking engagement structure. By utilizing the engagement of the lock cylinder 63 and the guide groove 68, as the locking linkage 62 moves forward, the lock cylinder 63 moves forward with the locking linkage 62, and through the guiding action of the guide groove 68, the lock cylinder 63 can be disengaged from the locking engagement structure during its forward movement.
[0034] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism is a locking groove, and the lock cylinder 63 includes a protrusion for embedding in the locking groove.
[0035] The active button 23 is provided with a first guide structure 26, and the unlocking linkage 24 is provided with a second guide structure 27. The first guide structure 26 and the second guide structure 27 are slidably engaged. One of the first guide structure 26 and the second guide structure 27 is an inclined arm, and the other is a mounting groove into which the inclined arm is inserted. In this embodiment, the first guide structure 26 is an inclined arm, and the second guide structure 27 is a mounting groove. When the active button 23 is pressed, the inclined arm can push against the groove wall of the mounting groove to push the unlocking linkage 24 toward the active button 23. When the active button 23 moves upward under the elastic force of the unlocking elastic reset element 25, the inclined arm can push against the groove wall of the mounting groove to push the unlocking linkage 24 away from the active button 23.
[0036] The groove wall of the mounting slot includes an inclined surface for sliding engagement with the tilting arm.
[0037] The unlocking device 22 includes two unlocking linkages 24, each corresponding to a locking device 60 of one of the two support arms 40. The unlocking linkages 24 are connected to the corresponding locking linkages 62 of the locking device 60 via cable harnesses 65. By employing this structure, pressing the active button 23 can unlock and laterally extend the two support arms 40, thus shortening the lateral extension operation time.
[0038] The active button 23 is provided with two first guide structures 26 that correspond one-to-one with the two unlocking linkage elements 24 respectively. The first guide structure 26 slides in cooperation with the second guide structure 27 of the corresponding unlocking linkage element 24.
[0039] In this embodiment, the main body 41 includes a first pipe segment 43 and a second pipe segment 44. One end of the first pipe segment 43 is hinged to the support base 10, and the other end of the first pipe segment 43 is hinged to the second pipe segment 44. The extension pipe 50 is movably sleeved with the second pipe segment 44. By adopting the above structure for the main body 41, it is convenient to retract the extension pipe 50 into the second pipe segment 44, and to fold the second pipe segment 44 relative to the first pipe segment 43, so that the support arm 40 can be conveniently stored in the support base.
[0040] The vehicle-mounted canopy also includes a light-emitting device 70, which is housed within the support base 10. During nighttime use, the light-emitting device 70 provides illumination to the canopy.
[0041] Preferably, the light-emitting device 70 is an aluminum alloy light strip with a built-in LED light source. In this embodiment, the light-emitting device 70 is used to be mounted on the two support arms 40.
[0042] The light-emitting device 70 is equipped with a rotatable curtain top rod 71 that lifts the center of the curtain 82 into a convex shape. By using the curtain top rod 71, it can be flipped upwards, lifting the central surface of the curtain 82 into a convex state. This helps guide rainwater to flow around the curtain 82 during rainy weather, reducing the probability of water accumulation. In the retracted state, the curtain top rod 71 is rotated downwards until it is flush with the plane of the light-emitting device 70. During rainy weather, the curtain top rod 71 can be manually flipped upwards to approximately 100° above the vertical position, creating a convex shape on the central surface of the curtain 82, guiding rainwater to slide off to the surrounding areas and preventing the curtain 82 from catching rain.
[0043] Preferably, the bottom of the curtain top rod 71 is fixed with a magnetic absorbing sheet, and a magnetic block is pre-placed on the surface of the curtain 82 so that the magnetic absorbing sheet can be locked by the magnetic attraction of the magnetic block, which can play a fixing role.
[0044] The curtain rewinding device 81 can be any of the curtain rewinding devices available on the market, such as a rewinding drum that is rotatably mounted on the support base 10, with one end of the curtain 82 fixed to the rewinding drum.
