Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rooftop tent technology, and in particular to a novel rooftop tent. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of outdoor travel and camping, rooftop tents have become a popular choice among consumers as a convenient and practical piece of outdoor accommodation equipment. They can be cleverly installed on the roof of a vehicle and quickly deployed upon arrival at the campsite, providing users with a relatively independent and safe sleeping space. This effectively saves time and effort compared to setting up a tent on the ground, while also avoiding problems caused by ground moisture, insects, and other pests.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent (CN206053524U) discloses a vehicle roof tent; it describes: "It includes a vehicle body roof frame and a vehicle body roof installed on the vehicle body roof frame. The front two sides of the vehicle body roof are hinged with support devices, and a power device is hinged between the middle and rear of the vehicle body roof frame and the middle of the vehicle body roof. The power device can open or close the vehicle body roof along the support devices as support points. A tarpaulin is surrounded between the vehicle body roof frame and the frame of the vehicle body roof."

[0004] Traditional rooftop tents mostly use a diagonal bracing system for support and deployment. In this design, the support frame is usually hidden on both sides of the tent. When deployed, the tent forms a triangular area for resting. However, due to the diagonal support arms, the space on both sides of the tent is partially occupied, resulting in insufficient usable space. This can obstruct movement and placement of items, affecting convenience and comfort.

[0005] Therefore, in order to overcome the problems of large space occupation, inconvenience of use, and complex and easily damaged structure of traditional roof tents, it is necessary to innovate and improve the support structure of roof tents to provide a roof tent that is more convenient to use and makes more reasonable use of space. Utility Model Content

[0006] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a new type of rooftop tent to address the aforementioned technical issues. Through a multi-structure design, it overcomes the space limitations on both sides of traditional angled tents. The inward folding of the arms makes the space on both sides more complete, improving user comfort. Structurally, the bottom frame and top cover are firmly connected and easy to disassemble and maintain, while the supporting linkage mechanism can stably open and close the tent. In terms of use, flexible connecting parts make opening and closing smooth, and the overall design facilitates quick setup and storage. In addition, the structural design is versatile and expandable, meeting diverse needs and possessing high practical value.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-6 A new type of rooftop tent, comprising:

[0031] The bottom frame assembly 1 has a top cover assembly 2 arranged parallel to its upper end. A linkage support frame 3 and a fabric surface 4 are arranged between the bottom frame assembly 1 and the top cover assembly 2. The lower ends of the linkage support frame 3 and the fabric surface 4 are connected to the bottom frame assembly 1, and the upper ends of the linkage support frame 3 and the fabric surface 4 are connected to the top cover assembly 2. The linkage support frame 3 is located inside the fabric surface 4 and can be folded inward. When the linkage support frame 3 is folded inward, it simultaneously drives the top cover assembly 2 to move downward in parallel. When the linkage support frame 3 is unfolded outward, it simultaneously drives the top cover assembly 2 to move upward in parallel. The fabric surface 4 is made of flexible material.

[0032] It can be seen that this new type of vehicle roof tent mainly includes a bottom frame assembly 1, a top cover assembly 2, a linkage support frame 3, and a flexible connecting component fabric 4.

[0033] Specifically, the bottom frame assembly 1 includes a bottom frame 15, with bottom frame borders 16 on both sides and at both ends of the bottom frame 15, and bottom frame corners 17 at the corners of the bottom frame 15. The ends of the bottom frame borders 16 and the ends of adjacent bottom frame borders 16 are detachably connected to the corresponding bottom frame corners 17. The lower part of the fabric 4 is fixed in a dedicated channel that is continuously arranged around the bottom frame borders 16 and bottom frame corners 17.

[0034] As can be seen, the base frame assembly 1 serves as the basic support for the entire rooftop tent, and its base frame 15 is the main load-bearing component of the base frame assembly 1. The base frame side frames 16 on both sides and ends of the base frame 15 are detachably connected to the base frame 15, facilitating installation and disassembly, as well as transportation and storage. Base frame corner 17, located at the corners of the base frame 15, connects to the ends of adjacent base frame side frames 16, further enhancing the stability of the base frame assembly 1. The lower part of the fabric 4 is fixed within a dedicated channel continuously arranged around the base frame side frames 16 and base frame corner 17, allowing for the installation of relevant functional components according to actual needs.

[0035] Specifically, the top cover assembly 2 includes a top cover 12, with top cover frames 13 on both sides and at both ends of the top cover 12, and top cover corners 14 at the corners of the top cover 12. The ends of the top cover frames 13 and the ends of adjacent top cover frames 13 are detachably connected to the corresponding top cover corners 14. The upper part of the fabric 4 is fixed in a dedicated channel that is connected in a ring around the top cover frames 13 and top cover corners 14.

[0036] As can be seen, the top cover assembly 2 is used to support the top of the tent, and the top cover 12 is the main part of the top cover assembly 2. The top cover frame 13 set on both sides and ends of the top cover 12 is detachably connected to the top cover 12, and the top cover corner 14 set at the corner of the top cover 12 is used to connect the ends of the adjacent top cover frame 13, ensuring the stability of the top cover structure. The upper part of the fabric 4 is fixed in a special channel that is set around the top cover frame 13 and the top cover corner 14, which can be used to install the covering material of the tent top.

[0037] Specifically, the linkage support frame 3 includes an upper support arm 5 and a lower support arm 6. The upper support arm 5 and the lower support arm 6 are hinged at their closest points. The outer middle of the upper support arm 5 and the lower support arm 6 are vertically provided with mounting grooves 7. The mounting groove 7 of the lower support arm 6 is provided with a telescopic drive mechanism 8. The telescopic end of the telescopic drive mechanism 8 is rotatably connected to the upper support arm 5, and the fixed end of the telescopic drive mechanism 8 is rotatably connected to the lower support arm 6.

[0038] It is evident that the linkage support frame 3 is the key component for opening and closing the tent. The extension and retraction of the telescopic drive mechanism 8 drives the rotation of the upper support arm 5 and the lower support arm 6, thereby enabling the linkage support frame 3 to unfold and fold. When the linkage support frame 3 folds inward, it simultaneously drives the top cover assembly 2 to move downward in parallel; when the linkage support frame 3 unfolds outward, it simultaneously drives the top cover assembly 2 to move upward in parallel.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] When the rooftop tent needs to be deployed, the telescopic drive mechanism 8 in the linkage support frame 3 is activated. The telescopic end of the telescopic drive mechanism 8 extends outward. Since the telescopic end of the telescopic drive mechanism 8 is rotatably connected to the upper support arm 5 and the fixed end is rotatably connected to the lower support arm 6, it will push the upper support arm 5 and the lower support arm 6 to rotate outward around the rotation connection point. As the linkage support frame 3 unfolds outward, it will synchronously drive the top cover assembly 2 to move upward in parallel. At the same time, the flexible connecting component fabric 4 will deform accordingly with the relative movement of the bottom frame assembly 1 and the top cover assembly 2 until the tent is fully deployed, forming a stable living space.

[0041] When the rooftop tent needs to be folded up, the telescopic drive mechanism 8 retracts inward, causing the upper support arm 5 and lower support arm 6 to rotate inward around the pivot connection point and fold up. During the inward folding process of the linkage support frame 3, the top cover assembly 2 moves downward in parallel, and the fabric 4 deforms again until the top cover assembly 2 approaches the bottom frame assembly 1, at which point the tent is folded up for easy storage and carrying.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] The novel rooftop tent provided in Embodiment 1 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the fabric 4 includes a connecting base fabric 9, a bottom frame connecting fabric 10, and a top cover connecting fabric 11. The top cover connecting fabric 11 is located at the upper part of the connecting base fabric 9, the bottom frame connecting fabric 10 is located at the lower part of the connecting base fabric 9, and the linkage support frame 3 is located inside the connecting base fabric 9. The connecting base fabric 9, the bottom frame connecting fabric 10, and the top cover connecting fabric 11 are integrally formed. The top cover connecting fabric 11 is fixed to the lower inner edge of the top cover assembly 2, and the bottom frame connecting fabric 10 is fixed to the upper inner edge of the bottom frame assembly 1.

[0044] Through the above structural design, the fabric 4 is made of flexible material, and the connecting base fabric 9, bottom frame connecting fabric 10, and top cover connecting fabric 11 are integrated. The top cover connecting fabric 11 is fixed to the lower inner edge of the top cover assembly 2 of the top cover structure, and the bottom frame connecting fabric 10 is fixed to the upper inner edge of the bottom frame assembly 1 of the bottom frame structure. This connection method makes the tent have a certain degree of flexibility during opening and closing, while ensuring an effective connection between the bottom frame and the top cover.

[0045] Example 3:

[0046] The novel rooftop tent provided in Embodiment 1 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figures 1-5 As shown, the upper support arm 5 and lower support arm 6 of the linkage support frame 3 are hinged to the top cover 12 and the bottom frame 15 at appropriate positions on the side; when the telescopic drive mechanism 8 is extended to its longest length, the far end of the upper support arm 5 and lower support arm 6 is farthest away from the hinge center, and the included angle between their central axes is 180 degrees minus n degrees, where n is between 0 degrees and 30 degrees.

[0047] Furthermore, the linkage support frame 3 is installed opposite to the side or end of the top cover 12 and the bottom frame 15, and the upper support arm 5 is hinged to the top cover 12 and the lower support arm 6 is hinged to the bottom frame 15 for a length greater than one-fifth of the installation side length of the top cover 12 and the bottom frame 15.
