The bottom pulley of the window sash 22 slides along the guide rail to realize push-pull opening and closing.

[0038] In this embodiment, after the movable base plate 32 is flipped upwards by 90°, its inner edge is locked to the upper part of the side wall of the housing 1 by a latch 35; after the movable base plate 32 is flipped downwards to a horizontal state, its adjacent edges are locked to the fixed base plate 31 and another movable base plate 32 by a splicing locking mechanism 36. Furthermore, when the movable base plate 32 is flipped 90° to stand upright, the 304 stainless steel latch 35 on its inner edge engages with the slot on the upper part of the side wall of the housing 1 and locks it; in the horizontal state, the adjacent edges of the movable base plate 32 and the fixed base plate 31 are connected by a hidden splicing locking mechanism 36 - this mechanism includes a spring pin and a positioning hole, and the pin automatically springs into the hole and locks when the base plate is pressed down.

[0039] In this embodiment, the gas spring support 34 provides damping support force when the movable base plate 32 is flipped to any angle within the range of 0°-90°. Furthermore, the gas spring support 34 is selected as a 500N constant damping force model with a stroke of 150mm, providing linear support force throughout the entire flipping process of the movable base plate 320° horizontal to 90° vertical, realizing the suspension of the flipping angle and buffering against impact.

[0040] In this embodiment, an electric lifting mechanism 4 is connected to the top of the housing 1.

[0042] In this embodiment, the overall height of the shell 1 is 17cm when closed, and the internal vertical height is ≥1m when unfolded. Furthermore, the height of the electric lifting mechanism 4 when unfolded meets the standing needs of an adult.

[0043] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0044] Phase 1: Parking with the vehicle in a closed / open position → Lifting and unfolding

[0045] The user activates the electric lifting mechanism 4, and the motor drives the X-shaped scissor structure to extend, vertically lifting the rectangular rigid shell 1 from a closed height of 17cm to an unfolded state of ≥1m; then the movable base plate 32 is released from the lock 35 on the upper side wall of the shell.

[0046] Phase Two: Establishing a Daytime Standing Pattern

[0047] The movable base plate 32 is flipped upwards, with the hinge 33 serving as the pivot point. The gas spring support 34 provides damping assistance to make it rotate smoothly 90° to an upright position, and is fixed to the side wall of the shell by the latch 35, forming a standing passage that runs through the cabin. The window sash 22 of the sliding window assembly 2 moves along the guide rail 24 of the window frame 21, and the sealing strip ensures the stability of the window when it is opened.

[0048] Phase 3: Nighttime Sleep Pattern Transition

[0049] Release the latch 35 of the movable base plate 32, press down the movable base plate 32 and slowly rotate horizontally with the buffer assistance of the gas spring 34 until it is coplanar with the central fixed base plate 31, and lock the adjacent edges to form a complete sleeping plane through the splicing locking mechanism 36; close the window sash 22, and compress the sealing strip to achieve window sealing.

[0050] Phase Four: Folded / Unfolded State → Closed State

[0051] Release the splicing locking mechanism 36, flip the movable base plate 32 up 90° and fix it to the side wall of the shell through the buckle 35; start the electric lifting mechanism 4 to drive the X scissor structure to retract, and drive the shell 1 to descend vertically to a closed height of 17cm.
