Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carport technology, and specifically to a folding carport for electric vehicles. Background Technology

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figure 1-9 As shown, a folding canopy for an electric vehicle includes a front windshield folding frame 1 and a roof folding frame 2 fixedly connected to the electric vehicle. The front windshield folding frame 1 includes a lower baffle 3 and an upper baffle 4 rotatably connected to it. A folding mechanism 5 is provided between the upper baffle 4 and the lower baffle 3. The upper baffle 4 and the lower baffle 3 can be rotated and folded for storage through the folding mechanism 5. A front support member 6 is installed at the upper end of the upper baffle 4. A crossbar can be installed between the two front support members 6 to reinforce the overall structure. The roof folding frame 2 includes a connecting rod 7 rotatably connected to the front support member 6. At the other end of 7, a rotating joint 1 8 is installed. At the other end of the rotating joint 1 8, a connecting rod 2 9 is installed. At the other end of the connecting rod 2 9, a folding mechanism 2 10 is installed. A crossbar can be installed between the two folding mechanisms 2 10 to reinforce the overall structure. At the other end of the folding mechanism 2 10, a connecting rod 3 11 is installed. At the other end of the connecting rod 3 11, a rotating joint 2 12 is installed. At the other end of the rotating joint 2 12, a connecting rod 4 13 is installed. In order to extend the length of the canopy, folding mechanisms 2 10 and rotating joint 2 12 can be continued to be installed at the other end of the connecting rod 4 13 to connect the connecting rods.
[0026] This utility model, through the structural design of the roof folding frame 2, can realize the folding and storage of the roof. Combined with the structural design of the windshield folding frame 1, it can realize the folding and storage of the windshield, thereby reducing the overall size of the product, reducing transportation costs, and expanding the driver's field of vision and improving safety after the windshield is folded and stored.
[0027] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 The folding mechanism 5 includes a lower fixing member 14 fixed to the upper end of the lower stop 3 and an upper fixing member 15 fixed to the lower end of the upper stop 4. The other end of the lower fixing member 14 is formed with a lower rotating connection part 16, and the other end of the upper fixing member 15 is formed with an upper rotating connection part 17. The side of the upper rotating connection part 17 is provided with a rotating cavity 18 for installing the lower rotating connection part 16. A rotating shaft is installed between the upper rotating connection part 17 and the lower rotating connection part 16 to realize the rotating connection between the two.
[0028] A sliding sleeve 19 is installed on the outer periphery of the lower fixing member 14. A lower limit seat 20 is installed between the lower end of the sliding sleeve 19 and the lower stop 3. A return spring 21 abuts between the sliding sleeve 19 and the lower limit seat 20. A slot 22 is formed between the upper inner periphery of the sliding sleeve 19 and the lower rotating connection part 16. An insertion part 23 is formed at the end of the upper rotating connection part 17. After the insertion part 23 is inserted into the slot 22, it restricts the relative rotation of the upper rotating connection part 17 and the lower rotating connection part 16.
[0029] This technical solution, through the design of the sliding sleeve 19, ensures that during actual use, when the lower fixing member 14 fixed at the upper end of the lower bracket 3 and the upper fixing member 15 fixed at the lower end of the upper bracket 4 are unfolded, the insertion part 23 will be inserted into the slot 22, thereby restricting the relative rotation of the rotating connecting part 17 and the lower rotating connecting part 16, keeping them in a fixed unfolded state. When folding and storage are required, by pushing the sliding sleeve 19 away from the insertion part 23, the insertion part 23 can be disengaged from the slot 22, and the rotating connecting part 17 and the lower rotating connecting part 16 can rotate relative to each other. This structure is simple and easy to operate.
[0030] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 6 The front support member 6 has an upper connecting part 24 and a lower connecting part 25 formed on its side. A hinge 26 is installed at one end of the connecting rod 7. The hinge 26 is hinged to the lower connecting part 25. A reinforcing rod 27 is also installed on the side of the rotating joint 8 to improve the stability of the connection. A second hinge 28 is installed at one end of the reinforcing rod 27. The second hinge 28 is hinged to the upper connecting part 24. A limiting part 29 is formed at the upper end of the front support member 6 to limit the rotation of the second hinge 28, so that the reinforcing rod 27 is kept in an extended state.
[0031] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 7The rotating joint 8 includes a rotating component 30 and a rotating component 31. One end of the rotating component 30 is connected to a connecting rod 7, and the other end of the rotating component 30 is formed with a rotating part 32 for connecting the rotating component 31. The side of the rotating part 32 is formed with a limiting wall 33 for restricting the rotation of the rotating component 31, so that the two are kept in a horizontally unfolded state. A reinforcing rod 27 is connected to the side of the rotating component 31.
[0032] Combination Figure 8 and Figure 9 The folding mechanism 2 10 includes a fixing member 2 34 fixed to one end of the connecting rod 2 9 and a fixing member 3 35 fixed to one end of the connecting rod 3 11. The other end of the fixing member 2 34 has a rotating connecting portion 2 36, and the other end of the fixing member 3 35 has a rotating connecting portion 37. A rotating cavity 2 38 for mounting the rotating connecting portion 2 36 is provided on the side of the rotating connecting portion 37. A rotating shaft is installed between the rotating connecting portion 2 36 and the rotating connecting portion 37. A sliding sleeve 39 is installed on the outer periphery of the second part 34. A limiting seat 40 is installed between the lower end of the sliding sleeve 39 and the connecting rod 9. A return spring 41 abuts between the sliding sleeve 39 and the limiting seat 40. An insertion port 42 is formed between the upper inner periphery of the sliding sleeve 39 and the fixing part 34. An insertion plate 43 is formed at the end of the rotating connection part 37. After the insertion plate 43 is inserted into the insertion port 42, it restricts the relative rotation of the rotating connection part 36 and the rotating connection part 37.
[0033] This technical solution, through the design of the sliding sleeve 39, allows the insert plate 43 to be inserted into the socket 42 after the fixing part 34 fixed to one end of the connecting rod 29 and the fixing part 35 fixed to one end of the connecting rod 31 are unfolded during actual use. This restricts the relative rotation of the rotating connecting part 2 36 and the rotating connecting part 3 37, keeping them in a fixed unfolded state. When folding and storage are required, the insert plate 43 can be moved away from the socket 42 by pushing the sliding sleeve 39 away from the side of the insert plate 43, allowing the rotating connecting part 2 36 and the rotating connecting part 3 37 to rotate relative to each other. This structure is simple and easy to operate.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
