[0032] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a detachable roof assembly with a folding tent and a liftable roof includes two-sided linkage lifting mechanisms 1, at least three sets of frame frames 2, tent fabric 3, a roof 4, and a base 5. The bottom sides of the roof 4 are mounted on the two-link lifting mechanisms 1, and the bottom of the two-link lifting mechanisms 1 is mounted on the top sides of the base 5. The linkage lifting mechanism 1 includes a fixed rod 11, a movable rod 12, a long rocker arm 13, a short rocker arm 14, a long connecting rod 15, a short connecting rod 16, a hook lock 17, and an electric support rod 18. The lower ends of the long rocker arm 13 and the short rocker arm 14 are respectively hinged to one end and the middle of the fixed rod 11. The upper ends of the long connecting rod 15 and the short connecting rod 16 are respectively hinged to both ends of the movable rod 12. The upper end of the long rocker arm 13 is hinged to the lower end of the short connecting rod 16. The upper end of the short rocker arm 14 is hinged to the lower end of the long connecting rod 15. The middle of the long rocker arm 13 crosses and is hinged to the middle of the long connecting rod 15.
[0033] like Figure 5As shown, the hook lock 17 is hinged to the upper end of the long rocker arm 13 in the middle. A hinge end 171 is provided on one side of the hook lock 17, and two self-locking hooks 172 are symmetrically arranged at both ends. One end of the electric support rod 18 is hinged to the other end of the fixed rod 11, and the other end is hinged to the hinge end 171 of the hook lock 17. The long rocker arm 3 is pushed up by the electric push of the hook lock 7. The fixed rod 11 and the movable rod 12 are respectively provided with self-locking buckles 19 that lock with the two self-locking hooks 172 after they are stored. After the connecting rod lifting mechanism is stored, the hook lock 17 hooks with the self-locking buckle 19 to achieve self-locking.
[0034] The frame frame 2 is hinged to the connecting rod lifting mechanism 1 on both sides. The top of the tent fabric 3 is fixed to the top surface of the connecting rod lifting mechanism 3, and its perimeter is fixed to the frame frame 2. Preferably, transparent mesh is spliced on the tent fabric 3 on the front and sides of the folding tent to achieve ventilation and light transmission inside the tent. Furthermore, tent doors and windows can be opened via zipper clips. The folding tent is opened and closed by the opening and closing action of the connecting rod lifting mechanism 1.
[0035] The fixed rod 11, movable rod 12, long rocker arm 13, short rocker arm 14, long connecting rod 15, and short connecting rod 16 constitute a linkage lifting mechanism 1 that can be opened, closed, and stored. When the linkage lifting mechanism 1 is opened, the telescopic electric support rod 18 pushes the hook lock 17 to rotate and disengage from the self-locking buckle 19 of the fixed rod 11 and movable rod 12, ending the locking state. The electric support rod 18 continues to push the long rocker arm 13 to gradually lift it up and disengage from the fixed rod 11, and then drives the movable rod 12 to be lifted up through the connecting rod as a whole, forming the open state. When the linkage lifting mechanism 1 is being retracted, the electric support rod 18 gradually retracts, pulling back the hook lock 17 and the long rocker arm 13. The hook lock 17 rotates, causing the two self-locking hooks 172 to gradually move into an up-down state, corresponding to the self-locking buckles 19 on the movable rod 12 and the fixed rod 11, respectively. At the same time as the retraction is completed, the two self-locking hooks 172 hook onto the self-locking buckles 19 on the fixed rod 11 and the movable rod 12, respectively, to form a lock and prevent accidental opening.
[0036] Preferably, two limiting plates 141 are fixed to the upper end of the short rocker arm 14, and the middle part of the electric support rod 18 is placed between the two limiting plates 141 to prevent the electric support rod 18 from shifting left and right.
[0037] Preferably, a hook-lock block 131 is provided between the upper end and the middle of the long rocker arm 13. When the lifting mechanism is pushed to open to the position, the hook-lock block 13 blocks the hook-lock 17 from the other side, preventing it from rotating excessively and becoming impossible to store.
[0038] Preferably, the frame 2 is a rounded rectangular frame made of a round tube with a diameter of 5-15mm and an arc-shaped contact surface with the tent fabric 3 to avoid scratching the tent fabric 3.
[0039] Preferably, the frame-shaped skeleton 2 is divided into a top-level frame-shaped skeleton 21, a middle-level frame-shaped skeleton 22, and a bottom-level frame-shaped skeleton 23, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the two sides of the top frame 21 are hinged to the sides of the long connecting rod 15 and the short connecting rod 16 of the connecting rod lifting mechanism 1; the two sides of the middle frame 22 are hinged to the sides of the long rocker arm 13 and the long connecting rod 15 of the connecting rod lifting mechanism 1; and the two sides of the bottom frame 23 are hinged to the sides of the long rocker arm 13 and the short rocker arm 14 of the connecting rod lifting mechanism 1. This allows the multiple frames 2 to be evenly spread out when opened, so as to support the tent fabric 3 and facilitate storage.
[0040] Preferably, a skylight 41 is provided on the top cover 4, and a flip-up skylight 42 is provided on the skylight 41. One side edge of the flip-up skylight 42 is hinged to the skylight 41, and a skylight screen 43 is provided between the other side edges and the skylight 41.
[0041] Preferably, a windshield guard plate 51 is provided on the front side of the base 5 to reduce the airflow resistance on the front side of the roof assembly.
