[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] See attached document Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a foldable canopy fixing structure for a suspended wheel vehicle, including mounting platforms 16. Each of the two mounting platforms 16 has a sliding groove 8 inside, and four sliders 26 are slidably installed inside each sliding groove 8. A slot 25 is provided on one side of the first and fourth sliders 26. Three mounting platforms 23 are fixedly installed on one side of each of the two mounting platforms 16. Each of the three mounting platforms 23 has a spring 21 inside, and a pin 24 inside each spring 21. A button 22 is provided on the outside of each pin 24. The pin 24 passes through the inner wall of the mounting platform 16 and is fixedly installed in the slot 25 on the slider 26. A fixing block 6 is fixedly installed at the upper end of each of the four sliders 26. A support column 3 is fixedly installed at the upper end of each fixing block 6. Two rotating columns 4 are fixedly installed on one side of each support column 3, and two telescopic rods 5 are rotatably installed on one side of each rotating column 4.
[0025] The grooves 8 inside the two mounting platforms 16 provide stable sliding tracks for the four sliders 26. The sliders 26 can be adjusted in position along the grooves 8. The fixing blocks 6 fixed at their upper ends are directly connected to the support columns 3, allowing the support columns 3 to adjust their position as the sliders 26 slide. This provides a basic displacement path for the unfolding or folding of the canopy frame. The frame 2 fixed at the upper ends of the four support columns 3 is the direct support carrier for the rain shield 1, ensuring the overall shape of the rain shield 1. Two rotating columns 4 on one side of each support column 3 are rotatably connected to two telescopic rods 5, and the intersection of the two telescopic rods 5 forms an "X"-shaped linkage structure through the rotating columns 4. There are a total of 3 sets. After unlocking the sliders 26, pushing the support columns 3 causes the sliders 26 to slide along the grooves. When the four support columns 3 slide towards each other, the "X"-shaped telescopic rod 5 will fold and retract around the rotating column 4, causing the four support columns 3 to move closer to each other, thereby folding the frame 2 and sliding the fourth slider 26 to the second mounting platform 2. It is then fixed by the internal pin 24, achieving folding. Conversely, when the fourth slider 26 slides to the end of the slide groove, it is fixed by the pin 24 inside the mounting platform 2, achieving unfolding. The design of locking the slider 26 by pushing the pin 24 through the spring 21 can firmly fix the position of the support column 3 and the frame 2. Even if the suspended wheel vehicle encounters bumps while driving, the slider 26 will not shift within the slide groove 8, ensuring the stability of the canopy from the structural root, eliminating the risk of shaking or falling off, and ensuring safety when using it in rainy weather.
[0026] Each of the two mounting platforms 16 has a switch platform 7 at one end. The switch platform 7 has two fixing slots 9 inside. Each of the two fixing slots 9 has a spring 15 inside. A slide plate 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the spring 15. A pin 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the slide plate 11. A connecting rod 14 is fixedly installed at the center end of the other side of the slide plate 11. A guide 10 is slidably installed at the bend of the connecting rod 14. A handle 13 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the two connecting rods 14. One end of the two pins 12 passes through the inner wall of the mounting platform 16 and is installed in the sliding groove 8 facing each other.
[0027] When disassembling the awning, simply operate the handle 13 at the bottom of the switch panel 7. The handle 13 is fixedly connected to two connecting rods 14, and the bent parts of the connecting rods 14 are slidably limited by the guide 10. The guide 10 ensures that the connecting rods 14 move along a fixed trajectory to avoid deviation. The connecting rods 14 need to be repeatedly stretched and reset over a long period of time to prevent deformation or breakage. Therefore, we use nylon 66 material, which has a strength close to that of metal, a density only one-third that of metal, excellent toughness, fatigue resistance, and self-lubricating properties, and is wear-resistant and rust-resistant. The guide 10 needs to be resistant to wear or deformation after long-term use with the connecting rods 14. Therefore, we use POM (polyoxymethylene), which has an extremely low coefficient of friction, strong wear resistance, and high rigidity. After adding glass fiber reinforcement, the rigidity and wear resistance can be further improved, while retaining a certain degree of toughness and preventing brittleness. When used with the connecting rods 14, it slides smoothly and avoids jamming.
[0028] When the handle 13 is pulled down, it causes the two connecting rods 14 to move downwards simultaneously, which in turn pulls the connected slide plate 11. Under the pulling force, the slide plate 11 moves away from the inner wall of the mounting platform 16. At the same time, the pin 12 that fixes the compression spring 15 to the slide plate 11 also disengages from the slide groove 8 and retracts into the fixing groove 9 of the switch panel 7. At this time, the lateral limit of the slide groove 8 is released, and the user can directly remove the entire canopy from the mounting platform 16 to complete the disassembly operation.
[0029] A mounting bracket 17 is fixedly installed at the lower end of each of the two mounting platforms 16. Several protective strips 20 are fixedly installed inside the mounting bracket 17. A mounting platform 18 is fixedly installed at the lower end of each of the two mounting platforms 17. A base 19 is fixedly installed at the lower end of each of the two mounting platforms 18. A frame 2 is fixedly installed at the upper end of each of the four support columns 3. A rain shield 1 is set at the upper end of each of the four frames 2. The middle intersection of the two telescopic rods 5 is rotated and installed through a rotating column 4. Two telescopic rods 5 form a group, and a total of three groups of telescopic rods 5 are set.
[0030] The fixing brackets 17 fixed to the lower ends of the two mounting platforms 16 are the core transition components connecting the mounting platforms 16 and the fixing platforms 18. The bases 19 fixed to the lower ends of the two fixing platforms 18 are the final carriers connecting the canopy and the suspension wheel vehicle body.
[0031] Working principle: First, press button 22 on mounting platform 23. The button causes pin 24 to compress spring 21, disengaging it from slot 25 of slider 26 and releasing the slider from its lock. At this time, push support column 3, and slider 26 will slide along the slide groove 8 in mounting platform 16, causing three sets of "X"-shaped telescopic rods 5 to unfold around rotating column 4, thereby opening the rain shield 1 on the four frames 2. When the frames are fully unfolded, release button 22. Spring 21 returns to its original position, pushing pin 24 to re-insert into the corresponding slider slot 25, fixing the slider in the slide groove. This keeps the support column, frames, and rain shield in the unfolded state. The canopy is connected to the suspension wheel vehicle through the fixing frame 17, fixing platform 18, and base 19 at the lower end of mounting platform 16. The protective strip 20 in the fixing frame enhances overall stability, ensuring that the canopy does not shake during driving.
[0032] When we fold or disassemble the awning, we need to press button 22 to disengage pin 24 from slot 25, and at the same time pull down handle 13 on switch panel 7. The handle drives slide plate 11 to compress spring 15 through connecting rod 14, causing pin 12 to retract from slide groove 8, completely releasing the restriction on slider. Push support column 3 to make slider 26 slide towards each other along slide groove 8. The "X"-shaped telescopic rod 5 folds and retracts, driving the four frames 2 and rain shield 1 to close, completing the folding and disassembly of the awning.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
