Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle equipment technology, specifically to a folding tent with a self-locking lifting mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Cars are widely used as a means of transportation in modern society. During long-distance driving, people need to stay overnight and rest. In addition to finding accommodation, they may choose to carry a tent or make do with sleeping in the car. Tents take up a lot of space in the car, are relatively troublesome to assemble, and are not suitable for setting up a tent in all environments or at all times.
[0003] The existing lifting mechanism is difficult to self-lock in the closed state, and locking accessories are needed to achieve locking, which increases the flexibility of the lifting mechanism. However, the accessories may also scratch the tarpaulin.
[0004] Chinese invention patent application number 202411569622.6 discloses a roof-mounted tent lifting device, including a lifting assembly and a guide assembly. The lifting assembly and guide assembly are located on the side of the vehicle and connect the vehicle to the roof. This invention achieves angled lifting of the roof-mounted tent by cooperating with the lifting assembly and guide assembly, providing height space at the rear and increasing space utilization. A locking block and latch ensure complete locking of the lifting mechanism. During folding, it uses an actuator for braking and a locking groove and latch for locking, resulting in a relatively complex accessory structure. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a folding tent with a self-locking lifting mechanism, which enables the tent to be easily stored and unfolded through the overall folding frame; the self-locking hook of the lifting mechanism itself achieves reliable self-locking and good locking effect.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is specifically implemented through the following technical solution:
[0007] A folding tent with a self-locking lifting mechanism includes two-sided linkage lifting mechanisms, at least three sets of frame frames, and tent fabric. The linkage lifting mechanism includes a fixed rod, a movable rod, a long rocker arm, a short rocker arm, a long connecting rod, a short connecting rod, a hook lock, and an electric support rod. The lower ends of the long rocker arm and the short rocker arm are respectively hinged to one end and the middle of the fixed rod. The upper ends of the long connecting rod and the short connecting rod are respectively hinged to both ends of the movable rod. The upper end of the long rocker arm is hinged to the lower end of the short connecting rod, the upper end of the short rocker arm is hinged to the lower end of the long connecting rod, and the middle of the long rocker arm crosses and is hinged to the middle of the long connecting rod.
[0008] The hook lock is hinged to the upper end of the long rocker arm in the middle, with a hinge end on one side and two self-locking hooks symmetrically arranged at both ends; one end of the electric support rod is hinged to the other end of the fixed rod, and the other end is hinged to the hinge end of the hook lock; the fixed rod and the movable rod are respectively equipped with self-locking buckles that lock in place after the two self-locking hooks are stored.
[0009] The frame frame is hinged to the connecting rod lifting mechanism on both sides, and the top surface of the tent fabric is fixed to the top surface of the connecting rod lifting mechanism, with its perimeter fixed to the frame frame.
[0010] Furthermore, two limiting plates are fixed to the upper end of the short rocker arm, and the middle part of the electric support rod is placed between the two limiting plates.
[0011] Furthermore, a hook-lock stop is provided between the upper end and the middle of the long rocker arm.
[0012] Furthermore, the frame-shaped skeleton is a rounded rectangular frame made of a round tube with a diameter of 5-15mm.
[0013] Furthermore, the frame frame is divided into a top-level frame frame, a middle-level frame frame, and a bottom-level frame frame. The two sides of the top-level frame frame are hinged to the sides of the long connecting rod and the short connecting rod of the linkage lifting mechanism. The two sides of the middle-level frame frame are hinged to the sides of the long rocker arm and the long connecting rod of the linkage lifting mechanism.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a folding tent with a self-locking lifting mechanism includes a linkage lifting mechanism 1 on both sides, at least three sets of frame frames 2, and tent fabric 3. 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 part of the long rocker arm 13 crosses and is hinged to the middle part of the long connecting rod 15.
[0028] like Figure 5 As 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.
[0029] 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.
[0030] 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.
[0031] 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.
[0032] 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.
[0033] 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.
[0034] 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.
[0035] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit it. Those skilled in the art can make modifications to these embodiments without contributing any inventive step after reading this specification, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of this invention.
