Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of canopy technology, specifically relating to a car-side canopy that is easy to store. Background Technology

[0002] A car side awning is an outdoor sunshade or tent facility used on the side of a car. It mainly meets the needs of sunshade and rest in outdoor leisure, camping and other scenarios. It mainly provides sunshade, and some parts are waterproof. It can be used in sunny and rainy days. At the same time, it can also serve as an extension of outdoor space. Compared with a stand-alone awning, a car side awning has advantages in wind protection, light enhancement and ease of use.

[0003] Currently, the main method for setting up a car-side canopy involves using suction cups to fix telescopic crossbars, then connecting the two ends of the canopy with quick-release buckles, and finally erecting the canopy poles and tightening the guy ropes. This method of setting up is very cumbersome to unfold and fold up. When it needs to be stored, the canopy poles need to be folded and put into a storage bag, which is troublesome to operate. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a conveniently foldable vehicle side awning is provided to solve the problem of cumbersome folding and storage operations required for vehicle side awnings.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A car-side canopy that is easy to store, comprising:

[0006] The housing is hollow inside, with an opening groove on one side and an opening at one end;

[0007] The base is slidably connected to the housing along the length of the housing.

[0008] A locking handle is disposed in the base. The locking handle includes a grip and a locking tongue. The locking tongue is slidably connected to the grip along a direction perpendicular to the length of the housing. Limiting notches corresponding to the locking tongue are respectively provided at both ends of the housing, which are used to fix the position of the base when the locking tongue is embedded in the limiting notches.

[0009] Several support rods, one end of which is hinged to the inside of the base, and the support rod slides along the shell through the base to the end of the shell and then extends out;

[0010] Several fabric panels are connected on both sides between two adjacent support rods, and the fabric panels unfold to form a canopy when the support rods extend out of the shell and move away from each other.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solutions have the following beneficial effects:

[0012] By sliding the base inside the housing, with multiple support rods hinged on the base and fabric connecting the support rods, the support rods extend outside the housing when the base slides to the opening at one end. Rotating the support rods and unfolding the fabric allows for quick construction of the canopy. Furthermore, when the support rods and fabric are retracted into the housing, the locking tongue in the locking handle can be used to limit the base from sliding freely inside the housing by engaging the locking notch in the housing.

[0013] Based on the above technical solution, the embodiments of this application can be further improved as follows:

[0014] The housing is provided with a first limiting mechanism on the opening slot and the inner side of the corresponding opening slot, and the base is provided with a second limiting mechanism that matches the first limiting mechanism. The first limiting mechanism and the second limiting mechanism are interlocked.

[0015] The base is slidably connected to the housing by a first and second limiting mechanism that are matched with each other, while the support rod is hinged to the base. When the base slides, it can drive the support rod to slide together.

[0016] In one embodiment, the two outermost support rods are provided with a third limiting mechanism that matches the first limiting mechanism, and the third limiting mechanism is interlocked with the first limiting mechanism.

[0017] A third limiting mechanism is set on the outer support rod and fitted into the first limiting mechanism. During the sliding of the base, the support rod slides smoothly, and the outermost support rod can restrict and protect the middle support rod.

[0018] In one embodiment, the first limiting mechanism is a groove, and the second and third limiting mechanisms are protrusions that match the groove;

[0019] Alternatively, the first limiting mechanism may be a protrusion, and the second and third limiting mechanisms may be grooves that match the protrusion.

[0020] Using interlocking grooves and protrusions to create a limiting mechanism is a relatively easy way to implement on profiles.

[0021] In one embodiment, the locking handle further includes a return spring, which is embedded in a recessed hole inside the grip. The two ends of the return spring abut against the bottom of the recessed hole and the locking tongue, respectively, for pushing the locking tongue into the limiting notch.

[0022] By setting a reset spring, the bolt can be pushed towards the limiting notch at all times, ensuring that the bolt can be inserted into the limiting notch as soon as the base and support rod slide into place, thus limiting the sliding of the base.

[0023] In one embodiment, the top of the support rod has a groove for mounting the fabric side, and the bottom of the support rod has a groove for mounting the light strip.

[0024] In one embodiment, the plurality of support rods are spaced apart from each other, and a cavity for accommodating the fabric is provided between the bottom of the support rod and the bottom wall of the housing.

[0025] In one embodiment, two limiting pieces are respectively provided at both ends of the inner cavity of the housing, and the two limiting pieces are respectively located outside the two limiting notches. A limiting slide piece is provided on the base between the two limiting pieces to limit the range of sliding of the base in the housing.

[0026] The limiting plates are set on the housing by means of mutual matching limiting plates. The limiting slide plate located between the limiting plates is located on the base, which restricts the range of sliding of the slide in the housing and prevents the slide from slipping out of the housing. Moreover, the limiting plates are located outside the limiting notch, which ensures the effectiveness of the limiting notch and can cooperate with the locking tongue to work.

[0027] In one embodiment, a plurality of the support rods include:

[0028] Several first support rods, one end of which is connected to an inner sleeve, and the other end of the inner sleeve is hinged to the base;

[0029] Two second support rods are respectively arranged outside the first support rod. One end of the second support rod is connected to an outer sleeve, and the other end of the outer sleeve is rotatably connected to the outermost inner sleeve. Attached Figure Description

[0047] Example

[0048] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides a conveniently foldable car-side canopy, which includes: a shell 1, a base 3, a locking arm, several support rods 5 and several fabric surfaces. The fabric surfaces are not shown in the figure. The fabric surfaces can be set in a fan shape, and the two sides are respectively connected to two adjacent support rods 5.

[0049] The housing 1 is hollow inside, and an opening groove 2 is provided on one side of it. The opening groove 2 is located on the long side of the housing 1 and is open at one end, which allows the support rod 5 to extend out from this end.

[0050] The base 3 is slidably connected to the housing 1 along the length direction of the housing 1. The locking handle 4 is disposed in the base 3. The locking handle 4 includes a grip 401 and a locking tongue 402. The grip 401 is disposed in the base 3 and faces the opening slot 2, so that it is convenient to reach into the opening slot 2 to grip the grip 401. The locking tongue 402 is slidably connected to the grip 401 along the length direction perpendicular to the housing 1. The housing 1 has limiting notches 9 at both ends corresponding to the locking tongue 402, which are used to fix the position of the base 3 when the locking tongue 402 is embedded in the limiting notches 9.

[0051] Specifically, the locking tongue 402 is configured as a frame-shaped structure similar in shape to the grip 401, and includes a locking end and a gripping end. The locking end is used to contact the limiting notch 9, and the gripping end is exposed in the grip 401, so that the person can put their hand into the grip 401 to pull the gripping end to drive the locking end to move.

[0052] One end of the support rod 5 is hinged to the inside of the base 3. The support rod 5 slides along the shell 1 through the base 3 to the end of the shell 1 and then extends out. The two sides of the fabric are connected between two adjacent support rods 5. Several fabric surfaces are unfolded to form a canopy when the support rods 5 extend out of the shell 1 and move away from each other.

[0053] By sliding the base 3 within the housing 1, and hinged multiple support rods 5 on the base 3, with fabric connecting the support rods 5, the support rods 5 extend outside the housing 1 when the base 3 slides to one end opening. Rotating the support rods 5 and unfolding the fabric allows for quick setup of the canopy. When storing, the base slides to a position away from the end opening of the housing, and the fabric is stored in the gaps between the support rods and in the cavity between the support rods and the bottom of the housing, naturally smoothing and gathering along the opening of the housing. This significantly reduces the user's storage work. Furthermore, when the support rods 5 and the fabric are stored in the housing 1, the locking tongue 402 in the locking handle 4 can engage with the limiting notch 9 in the housing 1, thus preventing the base 3 from sliding freely within the housing 1.

[0054] Specifically, the plurality of the support rods 5 include: three first support rods 501 and two second support rods 503.

[0055] One end of the first support rod 501 is connected to an inner sleeve 502, and the other end of the inner sleeve 502 is hinged to the base 3. The first support rod 501 is hinged to the base 3 through the inner sleeve 502, which serves to strengthen the end.

[0056] Two second support rods 503 are respectively arranged outside the first support rod 501. One end of the second support rod 503 is connected to an outer sleeve 504, and the other end of the outer sleeve 504 is rotatably connected to the outermost inner sleeve 502. The outer sleeve 504 and the inner sleeve 502 are connected to achieve a stepped arrangement, which reduces the number of sleeves connected to the base 3 and reduces the width, making the outer sleeve 504 more reasonably arranged.

[0057] To control the sliding direction of the base 3 within the housing 1, the housing 1 is provided with a first limiting mechanism 6 on the opening slot 2 and the inner side of the opening slot 2, and the base 3 is provided with a second limiting mechanism 7 that matches the first limiting mechanism 6. The first limiting mechanism 6 and the second limiting mechanism 7 are interlocked.

[0058] The base 3 is slidably connected to the housing 1 by the first limiting mechanism 6 and the second limiting mechanism 7 that match each other, while the support rod 5 is hinged to the base 3. When the base 3 slides, it can drive the support rod 5 to slide together.

[0059] The first limiting mechanism 6 can be arranged on the upper and lower sides of the housing 1, and the second limiting mechanism 7 and the third limiting mechanism 8 are also arranged on the upper and lower sides of the base 3 and the support rod 5, respectively.

[0060] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first limiting mechanism 6 is a groove and the second limiting mechanism 7 is a protrusion that matches the groove. That is, the first limiting mechanism 6 in the housing 1 located inside the opening groove 2 and the corresponding opening groove 2 is a groove, and the second limiting mechanism 7 on the base 3 is a protrusion. The protrusion is a strip-shaped protrusion that is consistent with the length direction of the groove, so as to ensure smooth sliding of the base 3 and the housing 1.

[0061] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the first limiting mechanism 6 is a protrusion and the second limiting mechanism 7 is a groove that matches the protrusion. That is, the first limiting mechanism 6 in the housing 1 located inside the opening groove 2 and the corresponding opening groove 2 is a protrusion, and the second limiting mechanism 7 on the base 3 is a groove. The protrusion and the groove are strip-shaped protrusions that are consistent with each other in the length direction, so as to ensure smooth sliding of the base 3 and the housing 1.

[0062] To ensure that the support rod 5 can slide smoothly when sliding on the base 3, the two outermost support rods 5 are provided with a third limiting mechanism 8 that matches the first limiting mechanism 6. The third limiting mechanism 8 and the first limiting mechanism 6 are interlocked.

[0063] A third limiting mechanism 8 is provided on the outer support rod 5 and fitted into the first limiting mechanism 6. During the sliding process of the base 3, the support rod 5 is ensured to slide smoothly, and the outermost support rod 5 can restrict and protect the middle support rod 5.

[0064] By forming a third limiting mechanism 8 on the outer support rod 5 and sliding the two outer support rods 5 with the housing 1, the support rod 5 near the opening slot 2 can play the role of closing the opening slot 2.

[0065] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first limiting mechanism 6 is a groove, and the third limiting mechanism 8 is a protrusion that matches the groove. That is, the first limiting mechanism 6 in the housing 1 located inside the opening groove 2 and the corresponding opening groove 2 is a groove, and the third limiting mechanism 8 on the two outermost support rods 5 is a protrusion. The protrusion is a strip-shaped protrusion that is consistent with the length direction of the groove, so as to ensure smooth sliding of the two outer support rods 5 and the housing 1.

[0066] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the first limiting mechanism 6 is a protrusion, and the third limiting mechanism 8 is a groove that matches the protrusion. That is, the first limiting mechanism 6 in the housing 1 located inside the opening groove 2 and the corresponding opening groove 2 is a protrusion, and the third limiting mechanism 8 on the two outermost support rods 5 is a groove. The protrusion and the groove are in the same length direction as the strip protrusion, which ensures the smooth sliding of the two outer support rods 5 and the housing 1.

[0067] Using interlocking grooves and protrusions to create a limiting mechanism is a relatively easy and cost-effective method to implement on profiles.

[0068] The locking handle 4 also includes a return spring 403, which is embedded in a recessed hole inside the grip 401. The two ends of the return spring 403 abut against the bottom of the recessed hole and the locking tongue 402, respectively, for pushing the locking tongue 402 into the limiting notch 9.

[0069] By setting a reset spring 403, the locking tongue 402 can be pushed toward the limiting notch 9 at all times, ensuring that after the base 3 and the support rod 5 slide into place, the locking tongue 402 can be embedded in the limiting notch 9 immediately, thereby limiting the sliding of the base 3.

[0070] To facilitate the installation of the fabric, the top of the support rod 5 is provided with a rib groove 10 for installing the side of the fabric. The ribs on the side of the fabric are embedded in the rib groove 10 to form a fixed structure. When each support rod 5 is rotated and unfolded, it drives the fabric to unfold and form a canopy. The bottom of the support rod 5 is provided with a light strip mounting groove 11 for installing light strips. When the support rod 5 is unfolded, it emits light downwards to provide lighting effect inside the canopy.

[0071] To ensure that there is space for the fabric after the support rods 5 are rotated and stored, gaps are left between the support rods 5 and the bottom of the support rods 5 and the inner bottom wall of the housing 1 are provided with a cavity 12 to accommodate the fabric. After the support rods 5 are gathered together, the fabric is folded and stored in the cavity 12.

[0072] Two limiting pieces 13 are respectively provided at both ends of the housing 1. The two limiting pieces 13 are respectively located outside the two limiting notches 9. A limiting slide piece 14 is provided on the base 3 between the two limiting pieces 13 to limit the range of sliding of the base 3 in the housing 1. When the limiting slide piece 14 contacts the inner side of the limiting piece 13 at both ends, it restricts the base 3 from continuing to slide in that direction.

[0073] The limiting plates 13 are set on the housing 1 by mutual cooperation, and the limiting slide plates 14 located between the limiting plates 13 are located on the base 3, which restricts the sliding range of the slide in the housing 1 and prevents the slide from slipping out of the housing 1. Moreover, the limiting plates 13 are located outside the limiting notch 9, which ensures the effectiveness of the limiting notch 9 and can cooperate with the locking tongue 402 to work together.

[0074] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
