Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of RV technology, specifically relating to an RV canopy bracket and an RV canopy. Background Technology

[0002] A motorhome canopy is a tent that can be set up on a motorhome, expanding the usable space of the vehicle when unfolded. Currently used motorhome canopies mainly consist of a fabric and a frame. To save space inside the motorhome, the fabric is detachably hung above the outer wall of the motorhome and covered with an outer bag for protection. The frame can be stored separately from the fabric (inside the motorhome) or detachably attached to the outer wall of the motorhome along with the fabric.

[0003] Currently available RV canopy frames consist of scattered horizontal and vertical bars before assembly. Before assembly, the horizontal and vertical bars need to be sorted out, and during the assembly process, the horizontal bars or vertical bars need to be connected to each other to form a long bar before finally being assembled. Therefore, the operation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also very complicated.

[0004] Therefore, in order to address the aforementioned technical problems, it is necessary to provide a motorhome canopy bracket and a motorhome canopy.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0036] like Figures 1-11As shown, a RV canopy support frame according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: a box body 1, a pair of horizontal arm mechanisms 2, and multiple longitudinal support mechanisms 3.

[0037] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the housing 1 has a first storage cavity 103 and a second storage cavity 104. A cover plate 102 is rotatably mounted on the housing 1. The first storage cavity 103 is used to store the cross arm mechanism 2 after folding, and the second storage cavity 104 is used to store the longitudinal support mechanism 3 after folding. Multiple mounting plates 101 are fixed on the housing 1, and the housing 1 is mounted and fixed to the side wall of the RV through the mounting plates 101.

[0038] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a pair of horizontal arm mechanisms 2 are rotatably disposed at both ends of the first storage cavity 103. The horizontal arm mechanism 2 includes a rotating head 204, on which a first connecting arm 201 is fixed. A second connecting arm 202 is rotatably connected to the end of the first connecting arm 201 away from the rotating head 204, and a third connecting arm 203 is rotatably connected to the end of the second connecting arm 202 away from the first connecting arm 201. The first connecting arm 201, the second connecting arm 202, and the third connecting arm 203 are rotatably connected to each other in an S-shape. When not in use, the first connecting arm 201, the second connecting arm 202, and the third connecting arm 203 are folded in an S-shape and then rotated into the first storage cavity 103 for storage by the rotating head 204. When the first connecting arm 201, the second connecting arm 202, and the third connecting arm 203 are spread out, they provide lateral support.

[0039] In addition, a groove 207 is carved inside the first connecting arm 201, and grooves 207 are carved through the second connecting arm 202 and the third connecting arm 203. Insert rods 208 are slidably disposed within the grooves 207 on both the second and third connecting arms 202 and 203. Each pair of insert rods 208 is fixed with a retaining ring 209 within the groove 207. A spring 210 is installed between the retaining ring 209 and the inner wall of the groove 207. The first connecting arm 201, the second connecting arm 202, and the third connecting arm 203... After the connecting arm 203 is opened, one end of the insertion rod 208 in the second connecting arm 202 and the third connecting arm 203 is pushed into the slide groove 207 on the first connecting arm 201 and the second connecting arm 202 respectively, thereby fixing the first connecting arm 201, the second connecting arm 202 and the third connecting arm 203 together. When the insertion rod 208 is not pushed by external force, the spring 210 pushes the insertion rod 208 through the fixing ring 209 to return the insertion rod 208 to the slide groove 207.

[0040] Secondly, the inner wall of the third connecting arm 203 away from the second connecting arm 202 has a threaded part 211. The threaded part 211 is connected to a pusher 212. By using a wrench to drive the pusher 212 to rotate in the threaded part 211, the pusher 212 pushes the insert rod 208 to move towards the first connecting arm 201, and the insert rods 208 push each other.

[0041] like Figures 3-6 As shown, hinges 206 are installed at the rotatable connections of the first connecting arm 201 and the second connecting arm 202, and the second connecting arm 202 and the third connecting arm 203. The first connecting arm 201 and the second connecting arm 202, and the second connecting arm 202 and the third connecting arm 203 are rotatably connected by the hinges 206. A retractable portion 215 is provided at the end of each pair of insert rods 208 near the first connecting arm 201, and a flared portion 216 is provided at the end of each of the first connecting arm 201 and the second connecting arm 202 near the retractable portion 215. By providing the retractable portion 215 and the flared portion 216, it is easier for the insert rods 208 to be inserted more directly into the slide groove 207.

[0042] like Figures 3-6 As shown, a snap-fit ​​part 205 is fixed to the end of the third connecting arm 203 away from the second connecting arm 202. The snap-fit ​​part 205 is used to snap onto the snap-fit ​​groove 302. A first snap-fit ​​block 213 and a second snap-fit ​​block 214 are provided at the connection between the first connecting arm 201 and the second connecting arm 202, and at the connection between the second connecting arm 202 and the third connecting arm 203. The first snap-fit ​​block 213 and the second snap-fit ​​block 214 cooperate with each other and are opened in the snap-fit ​​groove 302. At the same time, the first snap-fit ​​block 213 and the second snap-fit ​​block 214 are snapped together in the snap-fit ​​groove 302, thereby fixing the first connecting arm 201, the second connecting arm 202, and the third connecting arm 203 in the open state.

[0043] like Figures 7-11 As shown, multiple longitudinal support mechanisms 3 are installed between a pair of transverse arm mechanisms 2. The longitudinal support mechanism 3 includes a main beam arm 301. Both ends of the main beam arm 301 are rotatably provided with support legs 303. The main beam arm 301 plays a lateral support role, and the support legs 303 play a vertical support role for both the main beam arm 301 and the transverse arm mechanism 2.

[0044] In addition, a folding groove 307 is carved on the outrigger 303. A second rotating rod 306 is rotatably arranged in the folding groove 307. A first rotating rod 305 is rotatably arranged at the other end of the second rotating rod 306. The other end of the first rotating rod 305 is rotatably arranged between the main beam arm 301 and the outrigger 303. After the outrigger 303 rotates out of the main beam arm 301, the first rotating rod 305 and the second rotating rod 306 provide triangular support force between the outrigger 303 and the main beam arm 301. When the outrigger 303 is folded in the main beam arm 301, the first rotating rod 305 and the second rotating rod 306 are folded in the folding groove 307.

[0045] Secondly, a fixing rod 310 is fixed inside the main beam arm 301, and a locking block 311 is rotatably installed on the fixing rod 310. The locking block 311 is locked at the bottom of a pair of support legs 303. By rotating the locking block 311, the pair of support legs 303 are locked in the main beam arm 301.

[0046] like Figures 7-8 As shown, both ends of the main beam arm 301 are fixed with snap-fit ​​grooves 302. The snap-fit ​​part 205 is adapted to the snap-fit ​​groove 302. After the first snap-fit ​​block 213 and the second snap-fit ​​block 214 are spliced ​​together, they are adapted to the snap-fit ​​groove 302. The snap-fit ​​part 205, the first snap-fit ​​block 213 and the second snap-fit ​​block 214 are snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 302, so that the longitudinal support mechanism 3 provides support for the transverse arm mechanism 2.

[0047] like Figure 8 and 11 As shown, a limiting rod 308 is fixed at one end of the second rotating rod 306 near the first rotating rod 305. A limiting groove 309 adapted to the limiting rod 308 is cut on the first rotating rod 305. By locking the limiting rod 308 in the limiting groove 309, the first rotating rod 305 and the second rotating rod 306 are fixed together, so that the first rotating rod 305 and the second rotating rod 306 provide triangular support between the main beam arm 301 and the outrigger 303.

[0048] like Figures 7-8 As shown, a support block 304 is fixed on the outrigger 303. The support block 304 is located at the bottom of the main beam arm 301. After the outrigger 303 is spread off the main beam arm 301, the support block 304 provides support to the main beam arm 301.

[0049] An embodiment of this utility model also provides a motorhome canopy, which includes the above-described motorhome canopy support frame.

[0050] Working principle: When using this bracket, first open the cover plate 102 from the box 1, then take it out from the second storage cavity 104 in the longitudinal support mechanism 3, and then rotate the horizontal arm mechanism 2 out from the first storage cavity 103 with the rotating head 204 as the axis. After the horizontal arm mechanism 2 is rotated out, the first connecting arm 201, the second connecting arm 202 and the third connecting arm 203 are spread out into a straight line. Then, use a wrench to insert into the pusher 212 to drive the pusher 212 to rotate in the threaded part 211. During the rotation of the pusher 212, the insert rod 208 is moved towards the first connecting arm 201. By pushing one end of the insert rod 208 in the second connecting arm 202 and the third connecting arm 203 into the sliding groove 207 on the first connecting arm 201 and the second connecting arm 202 respectively, the first connecting arm 201, the second connecting arm 202 and the third connecting arm 203 are fixed together.

[0051] Then, the longitudinal support mechanism 3 is opened. First, the locking block 311 is rotated to open it from the bottom of the pair of support legs 303. Then, the pair of support legs 303 are rotated out of the main beam arm 301. When the support legs 303 are rotated out of the main beam arm 301, the support legs 303 drive the first rotating rod 305 and the second rotating rod 306 to rotate, so that the first rotating rod 305 and the second rotating rod 306 are opened apart from each other. Then, the second rotating rod 306 is pressed outward, so that the limiting rod 308 is locked in the limiting groove 309. This fixes the first rotating rod 305 and the second rotating rod 306 together, so that the first rotating rod 305 and the second rotating rod 306 provide triangular support force between the outrigger 303 and the main beam arm 301. Then, the longitudinal support mechanism 3 is moved to the bottom end of the transverse arm mechanism 2, and the snap-fit ​​part 205 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 302. The first snap-fit ​​block 213 and the second snap-fit ​​block 214 are snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 302, thus completing the splicing between the transverse arm mechanism 2 and the longitudinal support mechanism 3. Then, the tarpaulin can be draped on this bracket.
