Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of outdoor products technology, and in particular to a canopy. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards continue to improve, outdoor activities are becoming increasingly popular. Activities such as camping, outdoor barbecues, and group meals are widely favored. When engaging in these outdoor activities, in order to reduce the impact of weather, such as sun exposure or sudden rain showers, campers typically include tarpaulin-type equipment in their camping gear.

[0003] Typically, awning-type equipment needs to be folded to a suitable size and placed in a dedicated storage bag for everyday storage or placement in a vehicle trunk. For ease of setup, some existing awning systems use inflatable supports; simply inflate them with enough gas to set them up. When collapsing, simply deflate the system, fold it, and place it in the storage bag. However, these inflatable support structures usually create a tent-like structure with a relatively enclosed interior, making it difficult to accommodate people entering and exiting, or for outdoor barbecues.

[0004] Other types of awning equipment, once erected, resemble a canopy, with the awning components only providing shade from above. These awning systems can meet the needs of outdoor barbecues, etc. However, when folding them up, novice campers often don't know how to fold the large awning fabric to a size that fits perfectly into the accompanying storage bag. If the folded size is incorrect, it cannot be stored. After the awning is stored, in addition to the storage bag for the awning itself, other camping equipment such as tables and chairs also need separate storage bags. Numerous loose storage bags are not conducive to transportation and storage in vehicles. Utility Model Content

[0029] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The modes described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all modes consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0030] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, this application discloses a canopy, including a screen assembly 100 and a support assembly 200, wherein the screen assembly 100 and the support assembly 200 are detachable. Figure 1 Based on the combination Figure 2 As shown, the curtain assembly 100 includes a curtain body 11 and side wings fixed to the curtain body 11. The curtain body 11 is generally a flexible sheet material capable of blocking sunlight and rain / snow. Multiple corner connectors 18 are provided on the curtain body 11, which are used to connect and cooperate with the support assembly 200 to form... Figure 1 The canopy shown is in its extended state.

[0032] In the illustrated embodiment, the main body of the screen 11 is configured as a rectangular flexible sheet, and corner connectors 18 are provided at the four corners of the main body of the screen 11 and at the midpoints of a pair of parallel sides. Figure 1As shown, the support assembly 200 includes two rigid rod-shaped support rods 21 and eight wind ropes 22. The corner connectors 18 at the four corners of the curtain body 11 are each secured by a wind rope 22. Each corner connector 18 at the midpoint of each parallel side is connected to a support rod 21 and two wind ropes 22. Depending on the connection requirements of the support assembly 200, the corner connectors 18 on the curtain body 11 are of two types: at the four corners, since there is no need to connect the support rods 21, only webbing for connecting the wind ropes 22 is provided; while at the midpoints of the two parallel sides, since both wind ropes 22 and support rods 21 need to be connected simultaneously, triangular buckles are provided in addition to the webbing.

[0033] As shown in the diagram, two support rods 21 lift the center of the main curtain body 11 to form a ridge shape, and each support rod 21, together with two wind ropes 22, provides fixed support at a midpoint. For storage purposes, the support rods 21 can be designed to reduce their volume and facilitate storage through folding, telescopic, or assembly.

[0034] When not in use, the main body of the curtain 11 can be folded in a certain way to reduce its size. The side wings attached to the main body of the curtain 11 can fold and be fixed relative to it, thus forming a bag-like structure with internal storage space when folded. This makes the folding process of the curtain assembly 100 itself more convenient, unlike some existing curtains that require a relatively complex folding process due to the need to fit the size of a storage bag. Simultaneously, the support assembly 200 and other items can also be placed inside the internal storage space of the bag-like structure. In camping scenarios, commonly used items such as egg roll tables and picnic mats, as long as they are of suitable size, can be placed inside this internal storage space, allowing for integrated storage and carrying of camping equipment, improving the inconvenience of storing and carrying numerous camping items piecemeal.

[0035] exist Figure 2 Based on the combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the side wings may include a first side wing 121 and a second side wing 122, and the curtain assembly 100 also includes a first connector 13. In the illustrated embodiment, the first side wing 121 and the second side wing 122 are fixed to each other by the first connector 13, thereby fixing the curtain body 11 together on both sides of the curtain body 11 in the folded state, so that it is fixed into a bag-shaped structure with internal storage space.

[0036] The first connecting member 13 includes a first component 131 and a second component 132 respectively fixed to the first side wing 121 and the second side wing 122, wherein the first component 131 and the second component 132 are mated together. Figure 2 and Figure 4In the illustrated embodiment, the first component 131 includes a first strap 1311 and a first fastener 1312. Similarly, the second component 132 includes a second strap 1321 and a second fastener 1322. One end of the first strap 1311 is fixedly connected to the first side wing 121, and one end of the second strap 1321 is fixedly connected to the second side wing 122. The first fastener 1312 and the second fastener 1322 are respectively connected to the other ends of the first strap 1311 and the second strap 1321. Furthermore, the first fastener 1312 and the second fastener 1322 can engage to allow the first side wing 121 and the second side wing 122 to be relatively fixed.

[0037] exist Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the first fastening member 1312 and the second fastening member 1322 are configured as interlocking snaps. Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the two fastening members in the first connector 13 are configured as a hook fixed to the strap and a hanging loop formed at one end of the strap, while... Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the first connector 13 is configured as a pair of magnetic snaps / hooks / buckles that are directly fixed to the first side wing 121 and the second side wing 122, respectively. In other embodiments not shown in the figures, the first connector 13 may also be configured as a zipper structure between the first side wing 121 and the second side wing 122, as long as it can serve to fix the two together.

[0038] exist Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the embodiment shown, the first connector 13 is configured as a zipper. The first side wing 121 and the second side wing 122 are respectively fixed to different positions on the main body of the curtain 11 by a zipper. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The only difference is that the first side wing 121 and the second side wing 122 have different shapes, so that the zipper, which is the first connector 13, extends in different directions.

[0039] Return to reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, one or both of the first strap 1311 and the second strap 1321 can be configured as adjustable-length strap structures. Thus, after the first fastener 1312 and the second fastener 1322 are mated and fixed, the adjustable strap structure allows for loosening of the straps when fixing the first side wing 121 and the second side wing 122, facilitating the mating and fixing process of the first fastener 1312 and the second fastener 1322. After the mating and fixing are completed, tightening one or both straps reduces the internal storage space to secure the items placed inside. Similarly, in Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the two straps can also be configured as an adjustable strap structure.

[0040] refer to Figure 1 The diagram showing the canopy support configuration illustrates that the first connector 13 is designed as a strap and fastener. When the main body of the canopy 11 is in the supported state, the fasteners engage to fix the two side wings, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing and neat overall canopy support configuration. It is understood that similar effects can be achieved by using other forms of the first connector 13.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the curtain assembly 100 also includes a second connector 14, which is used to attach and fix the first side wing 121 and the second side wing 122 to the curtain body 11. In the illustrated embodiment, the second connector 14 is a Velcro fastener, which includes a bristle piece 14a and a round piece 14b. It is understood that in other embodiments, the second connector 14 may also adopt a suitable connection structure such as a zipper, snap, button, magnetic fastener, or hanging plug, as long as it can attach and fix the two side wings to the curtain body 11 at a position different from the position of the first connector 13.

[0042] In addition, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in the two illustrated embodiments, the two side wings are fixed to the curtain body 11 by a first connector 13 configured as a zipper. In this configuration, the second connector 14 can be omitted as appropriate, or a second connector 14 similar to Velcro can be provided on the inner side of the two side wings where they fit against the curtain body 11.

[0043] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the curtain assembly 100 also includes a pair of handles 16, which can be used together to lift the bag-like structure when the curtain body 11 is in a folded state. Figures 4 to 8 In the illustrated embodiment, a pair of handles 16 are positioned between the first side wing 121 and the second side wing 122, so that the curtain body 11 folds into a handbag. In other embodiments, the handles 16 may also be configured as shoulder straps similar to those of a backpack and are positioned on one side of the bag-like structure, thus allowing the curtain body 11 to fold into a backpack.

[0044] like Figure 2As shown, the handle 16 is a strip-shaped flexible band fixed at both ends to the curtain body 11. A connecting band 19, fixed relative to the curtain body 11, is also provided between the two flexible bands forming a pair of handles 16. The two flexible bands and the two connecting bands 19 together form a closed loop. In the illustrated embodiment, the two flexible bands and the two connecting bands 19 are a single woven strip connected end-to-end to form a closed loop. In other embodiments, it can also be formed by fixing and connecting multiple segments, such as two, three, or four segments, to form the closed loop. Figure 4 In the state shown, when the pair of handles 16 pull the folded curtain body 11 upwards, the connecting strap 19, being fixed to the curtain body 11 or to the handles 16, can wrap around the bag-like structure, so that the pulling force of the handles 16 is evenly applied to the entire bag-like structure, rather than only applied to the connection between the handles 16 and the curtain body 11.

[0045] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the curtain assembly 100 may further include a third connector 15, which, when the curtain body 11 is in a folded state, can secure the curtain body 11 to the side where the handle 16 is located. In the illustrated embodiment, the third connector 15, like the first fastener 1312 and the second fastener 1322, is configured as an interlocking snap. Figures 5 to 8 In this embodiment, the third connector 15 is configured as a zipper. It is understood that in other embodiments, the third connector 15 can also be a connector in the form of Velcro, snaps, hooks, etc., as long as it can serve to fix the folded state of the curtain body 11 on the side where the handle 16 is located.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one of the handles 16 is provided with a lifting glove 17, which can wrap around and fix the other handle 16, thereby achieving relative fixation of the pair of handles 16, while increasing the gripping area of ​​the handles 16 and preventing the handle from hurting the hand when lifting.

[0047] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the main body of the tent 11 is a 4m*3m rectangle when unfolded, and a 75cm*45cm rectangular bag-like structure when folded. The folded size provides ample internal storage space for a camping table, four folding camping chairs, and support components 200, meeting the needs of family camping trips. Furthermore, the bag-like structure can fit into the trunk of most new energy vehicles on the market (Xiaomi, Tesla).

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the following is one way of folding the main body 11 of the curtain:

[0049] Step 1: Fold the main body of the curtain 11 along the vertical line aa marked in the figure. In the folded state, the vertical line a1-a1 coincides with the vertical line a2-a2.

[0050] Step 2: Fold the structure after step 1 along the horizontal line bb and the vertical line a1-a1 marked in the figure respectively. In the folded state, the d1-d1 line coincides with the d2-d2 line, the c1-c1 line coincides with the c2-c2 line, and the f1-f1 line coincides with the f2-f2 line.

[0051] Step 3: Fold one end of the structure folded in Step 2 along line f1-f1, and fold the other end along line c1-c1.

[0052] Step 4: Fold the structure folded in step 3 along line d1-d1. In this folded state, fold the first side wing 121 and the second side wing 122 on both sides and fix them with the first connector 13.

[0053] Step 5: Press the first side wing 121 and the second side wing 122 towards the main body of the curtain 11, so that the barbed piece 14a and the round piece 14b in the second connector 14 are glued and fixed.

[0054] Step 6: Snap the third connector 15 and secure a pair of handles 16 using the lifting glove 17.

[0055] It is understandable that the fixing order of the above-mentioned multiple connectors can be adjusted according to the specific form of the connectors and operating habits. For example, the folding order of the vertical line a1-a1 and the horizontal line bb can both meet the folding requirements. In addition, the action of putting other items into the bag-like structure can be done before step four, so that the user can arrange the items neatly before folding the main body of the curtain 11 for the last time. Alternatively, items such as camping tables, folding camping chairs, and support components 200 can be put inside before folding and fixing the first side wing 121 and the second side wing 122.

[0056] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application in any way. Although this application has disclosed preferred embodiments as above, it is not intended to limit this application. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this application. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this application without departing from the content of the technical solution of this application shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of this application.
