Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rooftop tents, and in particular to a soft-top quick-opening rooftop tent. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, self-driving tours have gradually become a way for people to relax and unwind. In order to sleep and rest in the wild, tents are a necessity. However, ordinary tents are troublesome to assemble and cannot avoid the interference of insects and mud. Therefore, rooftop tents for use on the roof of vehicles have appeared on the market.
[0003] Reference patent CN203475928U, entitled "A Utility Model Patent for a Car Rooftop Tent," discloses a first and second support plate hinged together. Multiple first support frames for mounting the first and second tent fabrics are rotatably connected between the first and second support plates. One side of the second tent fabric is fixed to the side of the first tent fabric located at the first inlet. The other side of the second tent fabric is taut and positioned by elastic support strips to stably mount it above the first tent fabric. The outer side of the first tent fabric has a mosquito-proof ventilation window and an outwardly taut window edge located beside the mosquito-proof ventilation window, the front end of which is taut by elastic support strips. After the user opens the first and second support plates relative to each other, one side of the second tent fabric needs to be supported by elastic support strips, and the window edge also needs to be supported by some elastic support strips. The support and mounting of the second tent fabric side and window edge adds to the installation steps, making it more complex and cumbersome to use. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a soft-top, quick-opening rooftop tent, which solves the problem of cumbersome operation of rooftop tents.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a soft-top quick-opening car roof tent, comprising a first base plate and a second base plate rotatably connected, at least one connecting frame rotatably connected to the first base plate or the second base plate, a first tent fabric being provided on the first base plate, the second base plate and the connecting frame, the first tent fabric including a front cover portion, a support frame being provided on the first base plate, the support frame including an extension rod, a top support rod, a first rotating rod, a second rotating rod and a linear drive device, one end of the extension rod being rotatably connected to the first base plate, the other end of the extension rod being rotatably connected to the top support rod, the first rotating rod being rotatably connected to the extension rod, the second rotating rod being rotatably connected to the top support rod, the first rotating rod and the second rotating rod being rotatably connected to each other, one end of the linear drive device being rotatably connected to the extension rod or the top support rod, the other end of the linear drive device being rotatably connected to the first rotating rod or the second rotating rod, the rotation centers of the extension rod and the top support rod being biased towards the side closer to the rotation centers of the first rotating rod and the second rotating rod.
[0006] With the above technical solution, after the first substrate and the second substrate are opened, the linear drive device extends in length, causing the first rotating rod and the second rotating rod to rotate relative to each other, thereby allowing the extension rod and the top support rod to unfold relative to each other and finally support the front cover. There is no need to connect other parts to support the front cover. The support frame has an automatic opening function, which is simple to operate and convenient to use.
[0007] Furthermore, the extension rod includes a first connecting seat and a straight rod, and the top support rod includes a second connecting seat. The first connecting seat and the second connecting seat are rotatably connected, the first rotating rod is rotatably connected to the first connecting seat, and the second rotating rod is rotatably connected to the second connecting seat.
[0008] The above technical solution results in a simple structure for the extension rod, which is easy to manufacture. The design of the first connecting seat and the second connecting seat makes the installation of the first rotating rod and the second rotating rod more convenient and stable.
[0009] Furthermore, the top support rod includes a crossbar and a connecting rod connected to each other, and there are two connecting rods, which are respectively connected to both sides of the crossbar, and the second connecting seat is connected to the connecting rod.
[0010] Through the above technical solution, the overall shape of the top support rod is more in line with the internal shape of the front cover, making the support frame more stable in supporting the front cover after it is unfolded.
[0011] Furthermore, when the ends of the connecting rod and the straight rod abut, the extension rod and the top support rod extend to their maximum limit angle, and the extension directions of the connecting rod and the straight rod are the same straight line.
[0012] The above technical solution makes reasonable use of the lengths of the connecting rod and the straight rod to support the front cover outwards, and avoids uneven force due to different extension directions between the connecting rod and the straight rod, as well as deformation due to excessive squeezing force between the connecting rod and the straight rod, thus extending the service life.
[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a second tent fabric and a support strip. The second tent fabric is placed over the outside of the first tent fabric. The second tent fabric includes a main body and a side awning. The side awning is connected to the main body to form an inner edge line. The side awning also includes an outer edge line. One end of the support strip is movably connected to the outer edge line, and the other end of the support strip is movably connected to the side of the first tent fabric. A tension line is provided on the side awning. The two ends of the tension line are connected to the outer edge line and the inner edge line, respectively. The intersection of the tension line and the inner edge line is higher than the connection between the support strip and the first tent fabric.
[0014] With the above technical solution, during the unfolding of the first substrate and the second substrate, the connecting frame of the first tent fabric and the second tent fabric unfolds as a whole relative to the unfolding of the first substrate and the second substrate. The support bar automatically extends to the side and stretches the outer edge line and the tension line, thereby making the side eaves unfold automatically without the need for additional overlapping parts to support the side eaves, which is very convenient to use.
[0015] Furthermore, the support bar includes a fabric cover and a rigid pole. The fabric cover is entirely fitted onto the rigid pole, and the portion of the fabric cover extending beyond both ends of the rigid pole is sewn onto the outer edge line and the first tent fabric, respectively.
[0016] The above technical solution connects the first tent fabric and the outer edge line with the end of the cover, making the connection between the two ends of the support bar more flexible and easier to use.
[0017] Furthermore, the two ends of the inner edge line and the two ends of the outer edge line coincide respectively, the side eaves are generally spindle-shaped, and the angle formed by the outer edge line and the inner edge line at the end of the side eaves is an acute angle.
[0018] The above technical solution ensures that both the outer and inner edges of the side eaves are taut when the eaves are unfolded, making the side eaves more stable during use.
[0019] Furthermore, the tension line and the support bar are arranged in pairs and symmetrically.
[0020] The above technical solutions make the stress on the side eaves more uniform and the appearance more beautiful. Attached Figure Description

[0036] refer to Figures 1-6 A soft-top quick-opening car roof tent includes a first base plate 1 and a second base plate 2 rotatably connected. At least one connecting frame 3 is rotatably connected to the first base plate 1 or the second base plate 2. A first tent fabric 4 is commonly disposed on the first base plate 1, the second base plate 2, and the connecting frame 3. The first tent fabric 4 includes a front cover portion 41. A support frame 5 is disposed on the first base plate 1. The support frame 5 includes an extension rod 51, a top support rod 52, a first rotating rod 53, a second rotating rod 54, and a linear drive device 55. One end of the extension rod 51 is rotatably connected to the first base plate 1. The other end of the extension rod 51 is rotatably connected to the top support rod 52. The first rotating rod 53 is rotatably connected to the extension rod 51, and the second rotating rod 54 is rotatably connected to the top support rod 52. The first rotating rod 53 and the second rotating rod 54 are rotatably connected to each other. One end of the linear drive device 55 is rotatably connected to the extension rod 51 or the top support rod 52, and the other end of the linear drive device 55 is rotatably connected to the first rotating rod 53 or the second rotating rod 54. The rotation centers of the extension rod 51 and the top support rod 52 are biased towards the side closer to the rotation centers of the first rotating rod 53 and the second rotating rod 54.
[0037] After the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 are opened, the linear drive device 55 extends in length, causing the first rotating rod 53 and the second rotating rod 54 to rotate relative to each other. This causes the extension rod 51 and the top support rod 52 to unfold relative to each other and finally support the front cover 41. No additional components are needed to support the front cover 41. The support frame 5 has an automatic opening function, making it simple to operate and convenient to use. Preferably, the linear drive device 55 is a gas spring.
[0038] Preferably, one end of the linear drive device 55 is rotatably connected to the extension rod 51, and the other end of the linear drive device 55 is rotatably connected to the second rotating rod 54. Moreover, the rotation centers of the first rotating rod 53, the second rotating rod 54 and the linear drive device 55 are coaxial.
[0039] The preferred number of connecting frames 3 is three.
[0040] refer to Figure 6 , 7The extension rod 51 includes a first connecting seat 511 and a straight rod 512, and the top support rod 52 includes a second connecting seat 521. The first connecting seat 511 and the second connecting seat 521 are rotatably connected. The first rotating rod 53 is rotatably connected to the first connecting seat 511, and the second rotating rod 54 is rotatably connected to the second connecting seat 521.
[0041] The extension rod 51 has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. The first connecting seat 511 and the second connecting seat 521 make the installation of the first rotating rod 53 and the second rotating rod 54 more convenient and stable.
[0042] Preferably, a first connecting seat 511 and a second connecting seat 521 are provided with two first rotating rods 53 and two second rotating rods 54 respectively, so that the force on the first connecting seat 511 and the second connecting seat 521 is more even.
[0043] The top support rod 52 includes a crossbar 522 and a connecting rod 523 connected to each other. There are two connecting rods 523, which are respectively connected to both sides of the crossbar 522. The second connecting seat 521 is connected to the connecting rod 523.
[0044] The overall shape of the top support rod 52 is more in line with the internal shape of the front cover 41, making the support frame 5 more stable in supporting the front cover 41 after it is unfolded.
[0045] When the ends of the connecting rod 523 and the straight rod 512 abut, the extension rod 51 and the top support rod 52 extend to their maximum angles, and the extension directions of the connecting rod 523 and the straight rod 512 are the same straight line.
[0046] The lengths of the connecting rod 523 and the straight rod 512 are used to support the front cover 41 outwards. This also avoids uneven force distribution between the connecting rod 523 and the straight rod 512 due to their different extension directions, and prevents deformation caused by excessive extrusion force between the connecting rod 523 and the straight rod 512, thus extending their service life.
[0047] refer to Figure 2 The rooftop tent also includes a second tent fabric 6 and a support strip 7. The second tent fabric 6 covers the outside of the first tent fabric 4. The second tent fabric 6 includes a main body 61 and a side awning 62. The side awning 62 and the main body 61 are connected to form an inner edge line 621. The side awning 62 also includes an outer edge line 622. One end of the support strip 7 is movably connected to the outer edge line 622, and the other end of the support strip 7 is movably connected to the side of the first tent fabric 4. A tension line 623 is provided on the side awning 62. The two ends of the tension line 623 are connected to the outer edge line 622 and the inner edge line 621, respectively. The intersection of the tension line 623 and the inner edge line 621 is higher than the connection between the support strip 7 and the first tent fabric 4.
[0048] During the unfolding of the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2, the connecting frame 3 of the first tent fabric 4 and the second tent fabric 6 unfolds as a whole relative to the unfolding of the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2. The support bar 7 automatically extends to the side and stretches the outer edge line 622 and the tension line 623, thereby causing the side eaves 62 to unfold automatically without the need for additional overlapping parts to support the side eaves 62, making it very convenient to use.
[0049] refer to Figure 1 , 8 The support bar 7 includes a cloth cover 71 and a rigid pole 72. The cloth cover 71 is entirely fitted onto the rigid pole 72. The portions of the cloth cover 71 that extend beyond both ends of the rigid pole 72 are sewn onto the outer edge line 622 and the first tent fabric 4, respectively.
[0050] Connecting the first tent fabric 4 and the outer edge line 622 with the end of the cover 71 makes the connection between the two ends of the support bar 7 more flexible and easier to use.
[0051] The two ends of the inner edge line 621 and the two ends of the outer edge line 622 coincide respectively. The side eaves 62 is generally spindle-shaped. The angle formed by the outer edge line 622 and the inner edge line 621 at the end of the side eaves 62 is an acute angle.
[0052] This ensures that when the side eaves 62 are unfolded, both the outer edge line 622 and the inner edge line 621 are taut, making the side eaves 62 more stable during use.
[0053] The tension line 623 and the support bar 7 are both set in pairs and symmetrically.
[0054] This makes the stress on the side eaves 62 more even and the shape more beautiful.
[0055] The above description is only a preferred 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.
