Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive equipment technology, and in particular to a roof structure for a car roof tent. Background Technology
[0002] A rooftop tent is a retractable and foldable portable tent installed on the roof of a car, providing outdoor enthusiasts with a unique camping experience. A rooftop tent typically consists of a canopy mounted on the roof and a tent mounting frame for securing the tent to the vehicle. In existing technology, the canopy and mounting frame are directly connected by screws. During movement and shaking, the screws are prone to loosening, making the tent less durable. Furthermore, the canopy, usually made of plastic, is easily brittle from sun exposure, especially at the connection point with the mounting frame, resulting in a less secure connection and a shorter lifespan for the canopy.

[0010] Furthermore, the pressure plate includes a connecting part that connects to the profile and a pressing part for pressing the top cover.
[0011] Furthermore, the connecting part and / or the clamping part are fixed to the profile by screwing, riveting, bonding, or / and welding.
[0012] Furthermore, the profile includes four enclosing sides; and / or a profile connecting block disposed between two adjacent side profiles.
[0013] Furthermore, the pressure plate is located at the top of the entire profile, including the four sides and the top of the profile connecting block. The pressure plate can be a separate or integral unit.
[0014] Furthermore, the pressure plate is located at the upper end of the four sides, and the profile is provided with a recess for installing the pressure plate.

[0023] Among them, the top cover 1, the folded edge 2, the profile 3, the pressure plate 4, the connecting part 401, the pressing part 402, the connecting structure 5, the embedded groove 501, the embedded edge 502, the screw or rivet 6, and the support part 7. Detailed Implementation
[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0025] refer to Figure 1-6 A rooftop tent structure includes a roof cover 1 and a tent mounting frame. The tent mounting frame includes a profile 3 that is fitted around the outer edge of the roof cover. The profile 3 is partially or entirely provided with a pressure plate 4 for pressing and fixing the roof cover 1 onto the profile 3.
[0026] A connecting structure 5 is provided between the top cover 1 and the profile 3. The connecting structure 5 consists of an insert groove 501 and an insert edge 502 that cooperate with each other between the top cover 1 and the profile 3. The insert edge 502 extends downward and is located at the outer edge of the top cover 1, while the insert groove 501 is located at the upper end of the profile 3. Of course, the insert edge 502 can also be located on the profile 3, and the insert groove can be located on the top cover 1, as long as the insert edge and the insert groove can be snapped together and fixed.
[0027] The outer edge of the top cover is also provided with a folded edge 2, and the profile 3 is provided with a support part 7 at the folded edge. The folded edge 2 is provided to better fit with the profile 3, and the support part 7 provided on the profile 3 is located at the lower end of the folded edge 2 to support the folded edge 2.
[0028] The pressure plate 4 includes a connecting part 401 connected to the profile 3 and a clamping part 402 for clamping the top cover 1. The connecting part 401 and / or the clamping part 402 are connected by screws, rivets, adhesives, and / or welding, such as by screws or rivets 6. Multiple screws or rivets 6 can be provided as needed, or other methods can be used for connection and fixation. Preferably, screws or rivets are provided only on the connecting part 401, and the top cover 1 is fixed by clamping, eliminating the need to directly drill holes in the top cover to install screws, thus reducing wear on the top cover. Since the top cover is usually made of plastic and is placed on the roof of a vehicle, it needs to withstand sun exposure and rain, and is frequently moved. Direct drilling can easily cause wear at the drilled points, and frequent movement can cause the screws to wobble, shortening the lifespan of the top cover. It also makes it difficult to ensure the stability and fixation of the tent mounting frame 2 connection. By using a pressure plate on the upper end of the top cover and profile, and clamping instead of drilling, wear on the top cover is reduced, and its lifespan is extended. Preferably, the pressure plate can be a metal pressure plate, which has high rigidity, good wear resistance, long service life, and can also protect the top cover and profile.
[0029] The profile 3 includes four sides 301 and profile connecting blocks 302 disposed between adjacent side profiles. The four sides and the profile connecting blocks can be processed and installed separately and then connected together, which takes up little space and can be disassembled and stored.
[0030] As one implementation method, such as Figure 6The pressure plate 4 is located at the top of the entire profile, including the upper ends of the four sides 301 and the profile connecting block 302, protecting the edges of the entire top cover. The pressure plate can be processed and installed in sections, for example, the pressure plates on the four sides and the pressure plate on the profile connecting block 302 can be processed separately and installed separately; of course, it can also be processed as a whole, directly processed according to the shape that fits the profile 3 as a whole, which is more convenient for installation.
[0031] As another implementation method, such as Figure 2 The pressure plate 4 is only located on the upper ends of the four sides 301. Preferably, the profile 3 has a recessed groove (not shown in the figure) for installing the pressure plate. The pressure plate is located in the recessed groove, and the two sides of the recessed groove cooperate with the pressure plate 4 for a tighter connection. The recessed groove 6 is beneficial for positioning the pressure plate and facilitates its installation. Preferably, the height of the pressure plate installed in the recessed groove is the same as the height of the round edge where no pressure plate is installed, which is more aesthetically pleasing and results in a smoother surface.
[0032] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
