Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle-mounted products technology, and in particular to a fan-shaped tent for the side of a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve, car travel is becoming increasingly popular. To facilitate rest stops, various car tents are now available on the market, such as the applicant's previously filed patent: a structurally stable car tent (application number: 202320450934.X). This tent is very convenient to use when used with a roof rack. The rotating support arm unit of the fan-shaped tent frame is mainly composed of a rotating support arm and an auxiliary support block. The bottom surface of the recessed groove at the lower end of the rotating support arm is equipped with an LED light strip. The two side plates of the auxiliary support block extend upward to form a connecting part. The lower ends of the two side plates of the rotating support arm are recessed inward to form a notch that matches the connecting part. The connecting part is inserted into the notch.
[0003] However, in actual use, the applicant found that because the auxiliary support block is quite long, when the auxiliary support block is used in conjunction with the rotating support arm, the outer end of the auxiliary support block is connected to the middle of the rotating support arm. Therefore, when the LED light strip is set outside the middle of the rotating support arm, the inner side near the vehicle cannot be illuminated. When the LED light strip is set along the length of the rotating support arm, most of the light on the inner side near the vehicle is blocked by the auxiliary support block, resulting in dim light brightness and unreasonable use of light. Secondly, it is still easy to deform when encountering strong winds during use, thus affecting the use of the tent. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a vehicle side fan-shaped tent, which addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology and aims to solve the technical problems of existing vehicle side tents being prone to deformation in strong winds and having low light utilization.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a vehicle side fan-shaped tent, including a tent frame and a tent fabric. The tent frame includes a base plate, and connecting seats are provided on both sides of the base plate. Each connecting seat is provided with at least one connecting shaft. Each connecting shaft is rotatably connected to at least one rotating support arm unit. The rotating support arm unit includes a rotating support arm.

The upper end of the other side of the rotating joint is fixedly connected to the rotating support arm. An auxiliary support block is connected to the lower end of the other side of the rotating joint. The outer end of the auxiliary support block away from the rotating joint is fixedly connected to the rotating support arm. The rotating support arm and the auxiliary support block are vertically aligned and are both convex-shaped double-layer structures. The bottom surface of the lower layer of the auxiliary support block is provided with an indentation for installing embedded LED light strips.

[0026] First, in order to better understand the above-mentioned objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Of course, this application is based on the applicant's previous patent applications and improvements. Some technical features have been disclosed and will not be described in detail. The following explains how to solve the problems raised in the background art.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a vehicle-side fan-shaped tent includes a tent frame 1 and a tent fabric. The tent frame 1 includes a base plate 2, and connecting seats 3 are provided on both sides of the base plate 2. Each connecting seat 3 is provided with at least one connecting shaft 31. Each connecting shaft 31 is rotatably connected to at least one rotating support arm unit 5. The rotating support arm unit 5 includes a rotating support arm 51. A rotating joint 4 is connected to one end of the rotating support arm 51 near the connecting seat 3. One side of the rotating joint 4 is provided with a shaft hole 41 that will cooperate with the connecting shaft 31. The upper end of the other side of the rotating joint 4 is fixedly connected to the rotating support arm 51. The lower end of the other side of the rotating joint 4 is connected to an auxiliary support block 52. The outer end of the auxiliary support block 52 away from the rotating joint 4 is fixedly connected to the rotating support arm 51. The rotating support arm 51 and the auxiliary support block 52 are vertically corresponding and are both convex double-layer structures. The bottom surface of the lower layer of the auxiliary support block 52 is provided with an indentation 521 for installing embedded LED light strips 7. At least two sets of fixing plates 53 are fixedly connected between the lower layer of the rotating support arm 51 and the upper layer of the auxiliary support block 52.
[0028] Through the above scheme, one end of the rotating support arm 51 and the auxiliary support arm are connected to the same rotating joint 4. The rotating joint 4 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 31 through the shaft hole 41, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating support arm 51 and the auxiliary support block 52. In order to improve the structural stability and firmness of the rotating support arm unit 5 and make the windproof capability of the vehicle side tent stronger, in this embodiment, both the rotating support arm 51 and the auxiliary support block 52 are set as a convex double-layer structure. The lower layer of the rotating support arm 51 and the upper layer of the auxiliary support block 52 are protruding parts and are opposite each other. Multiple sets of fixing plates 53 are set between the two protruding parts. At the same time, the bottom surface of the lower layer of the auxiliary support block 52 is designed with an indentation 521. An embedded LED light strip 7 is installed in the indentation 521, which can avoid the light being blocked when it is turned on and improve the utilization rate of the light.
[0029] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the tent frame 1 is mounted on the roof rack of the vehicle via a base plate 2. Two connecting seats 3 are distributed on the left and right sides of the base plate 2. The left connecting seat 3 is provided with a connecting shaft 31, and the right connecting seat 3 is provided with two connecting shafts 31 distributed on the inner and outer sides. The right connecting seat 3 includes a main seat and a secondary seat connected by the outer connecting shaft 31. The rotary joints 4 of the left connecting seat 3 and the secondary seat are each provided with a rotary support arm unit 5 and a rotary arm 6 that can be vertically rotated after unfolding. That is, the upper end is connected to the rotary arm 6, and the lower end is connected to the rotary support arm unit 5. The rotary arm 6 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 31. A rotary arm 6 is provided with the rotary joint 4 of the main seat and the rotary arm 6 of the secondary seat after unfolding. A rotating support arm unit 5 is coaxially arranged. The rotating support arm unit 5 is formed by assembling a rotating support arm 51 and an auxiliary support block 52 on a rotating joint 4 so that the tent cloth (not shown) is unfolded into an L-shape, that is, the tent cloth extends from the side of the vehicle to the front and rear of the vehicle. At the same time, an LED light strip 7 is provided in the recess 521 of each auxiliary support block 52 so that the side and rear of the vehicle can be illuminated. The LED light strip 7 can be fixed by magnetic attraction, adhesive or other methods to achieve quick installation and removal of the LED light strip 7. Each LED light strip 7 is equipped with a transparent lampshade, which is snapped into the recess 521. This technology has been described in the previously filed patent and will not be described in detail here.
[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one specific embodiment of the improvement, two symmetrically distributed connecting pieces 42 are provided on the other side of the rotary joint 4, forming an insertion groove 43 between the two connecting pieces 42. The rotary support arm 51 and the auxiliary support block 52 are inserted into the insertion groove 43. Specifically, the connecting piece 42 and the rotary joint 4 are an integral structure. The width of the connecting piece 42 is smaller than the length of the rotary joint 4. Therefore, when the rotary support arm 51 and the auxiliary support block 52 are inserted into the insertion groove 43, the connecting piece 42 wraps around the inner ends of the rotary support arm 51 and the auxiliary support block 52. The wrapped portion is fixed by screws and bolts to ensure the strength and stability of the connection.
[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in one specific embodiment of the improvement, the lower outer wall of the rotating support arm 51 is provided with an upper groove 511, and the upper outer wall of the auxiliary support block 52 is provided with a lower groove 522. The upper groove 511 and the lower groove 522 correspond to each other, and the connecting piece 42 and the fixing piece 53 are both accommodated between the upper groove 511 and the lower groove 522. Specifically, the upper groove 511 and the lower groove 522 are provided with the same depth. The upper groove 511 is provided along the length of the rotating support arm 51, and the lower groove 522 is provided along the length of the auxiliary support block 52. Based on the fact that the protruding parts of the rotating support arm 51 and the auxiliary support block 52 are arranged vertically opposite each other, the upper groove 511 and the lower groove 522 are vertically opposite each other, and the outer end of the auxiliary support block 52 abuts against the bottom surface of the rotating support arm 51. At this time, the thickness of the upper layer of the rotating support arm 51 or the lower layer of the auxiliary support block 52 is the same as the distance from the end of the connecting piece 42 to the end of the rotating joint 4, so that the two end faces of the rotating joint 4 are respectively aligned with the top surface of the rotating support arm 51 and the auxiliary support block 52. The bottom surfaces of block 52 are coplanar. In practical applications, the connecting piece 42 can be embedded between the upper groove 511 and the lower groove 522, so that the two connecting pieces 42 clamp the inner ends of the rotating support arm 51 and the auxiliary support block 52, further improving the stability of the connection. In this embodiment, two sets of fixing pieces 53 are provided. The fixing pieces 53 are also placed between the upper groove 511 and the lower groove 522, so that each set of fixing pieces 53 clamps the rotating support arm 51 and the auxiliary support block 52. One set of fixing pieces 53 is located in the middle of the auxiliary support block 52, and the other set of fixing pieces 53 is located at the outer end of the auxiliary support block 52, enhancing the connection firmness between the rotating support arm 51 and the auxiliary support block 52.
[0032] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one specific embodiment of the improvement, the upper and lower end faces of the connecting piece 42 and the fixing piece 53 are respectively attached to the upper bottom surface of the rotating support arm 51 and the lower top surface of the auxiliary support block 52. Specifically, an upper groove 511 is provided on the lower outer wall of the rotating support arm 51, and a lower groove 522 is provided on the upper outer wall of the auxiliary support block 52. Both the lower part of the rotating support arm 51 and the upper part of the auxiliary support block 52 are protruding parts, so that they form the top or bottom abutment surfaces respectively. The connecting piece 42 and the fixing piece 53 are accommodated between the upper groove 511 and the lower groove 522, so that the upper and lower end faces of the connecting piece 42 and the fixing piece 53 abut against the aforementioned abutment surfaces. In actual application, the connecting piece 42 is clamped on both sides of the front end of the protruding part of the rotating support arm 51 and the auxiliary support block 52. That is, the width of the protruding part is the same as the width of the insertion groove 43, so that the connecting piece 42 or the fixing piece 53, together with the rotating support arm 51 and the auxiliary support block 52, form a left-right and top-bottom clamping structure, which is beneficial for positioning and installation and a firm connection during insertion.
[0033] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in one specific embodiment of the improvement, the lower layer of the rotating support arm 51 and the upper layer of the auxiliary support block 52 are both hollow rectangular aluminum tubes. The inner surfaces of the fixing piece 53 and the connecting piece 42 are both attached to the outer wall of the rectangular aluminum tube. Specifically, a larger rectangular aluminum tube with a wider width is superimposed below the rectangular aluminum tube. The rotating support arm 51 and the auxiliary support block 52 are formed by the overlapping of the rectangular aluminum tube and the larger rectangular aluminum tube, which reduces weight while ensuring structural strength. The rectangular aluminum tube is the lower layer of the rotating support arm 51 or the upper layer of the auxiliary support block 52, that is, the rectangular aluminum tube is a protruding part, so that the outer wall of the rectangular aluminum tube is the side abutment surface. The thickness of the fixing piece 53 and the connecting piece 42 is the same as the depth of the upper groove 511 or the lower groove 522, so that the fixing piece 53 and the connecting piece 42 can be precisely fitted into the upper groove 511 and the lower groove 522, which can prevent the connecting piece 42 or the fixing piece 53 from protruding outward and scratching the hand, and enhance the compactness of the connection.
[0034] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one specific embodiment of the improvement, the fixing plate 53 is equipped with multiple fixing elements 54, and the fixing elements 54 are inserted into the rectangular aluminum tube. Specifically, the fixing elements 54 can be open-ended pop rivets, which, compared to the fixing structure of bolts and nuts, can reduce the weight of the tent and can quickly fix the fixing plate 53 to the rectangular aluminum tube, improving installation efficiency and stability. Of course, this fixing element can also be used to fix the connecting plate 42 to the rotating support arm 51 and the auxiliary support block 52 respectively, forming a uniform fixing method.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in one specific embodiment of the improvement, the outer end of the auxiliary support block 52 abuts against the rotating support arm 51 and is fixed by the fixing piece 53, and the inner end of the auxiliary support block 52 is provided with a gap 55 between it and the rotating support arm 51 and is fixed by the connecting piece 42, so that the auxiliary support block 52 is set at an angle. Specifically, the upper and lower end faces of the rotary joint 4 are coplanar with the top surface of the rotary support arm 51 and the bottom surface of the auxiliary support block 52, respectively. The length of the rotary joint 4 is greater than the total height of the overlap between the rotary support arm 51 and the auxiliary support block 52, so that there is a gap 55 between the rotary support arm 51 and the auxiliary support block 52. This gap 55 gradually decreases from the inside to the outside along the length direction of the auxiliary support block 52 until the outer end of the auxiliary support block 52 abuts against the middle or near the outer end of the rotary support arm 51 to form a fixed structure of triangular connection. The rotary support arm 51 is perpendicular to the rotary joint 4 so that the auxiliary support block 52 is tilted, that is, the LED light strip 7 in the auxiliary support block 52 is also tilted, so that it can illuminate a larger area outside the vehicle. As the gap 55 gradually changes, the total distance between the upper groove 511 and the lower groove 522 also changes, so that the fixing piece 53 is also set into two trapezoidal blocks of different sizes, such as the two sets of fixing pieces 53 fixed in the middle and outer ends of the auxiliary support block 52 as mentioned above.
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model, and the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions within the scope of this utility model's concept are within the protection scope of this utility model. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
