Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor vehicle-mounted canopy technology, and in particular to a vehicle-mounted canopy support structure. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle-mounted awnings (carside tents) are a common outdoor driving device for sun and rain protection, and are loved by many outdoor enthusiasts. Unlike traditional awnings that are set up independently on the ground, vehicle-mounted awnings use the vehicle as a support point and a natural extension of the shelter. Moreover, vehicle-mounted awnings do not take up space inside the vehicle. When in use, simply pull out the awning and extend the support legs to use it directly. The operation is convenient and simple.

[0003] Currently, commercially available vehicle sunroofs generally consist of a housing, a first support mechanism, and a second support mechanism. The first and second support mechanisms are extended outward from the housing, and the screen is then pulled outward from the housing and laid on the first and second support mechanisms. However, such vehicle sunroofs generally have poor stability during use, and because there is no support in the middle of the top surface of the screen, water can easily accumulate on the top surface of the screen during rainy weather, leading to the collapse of the vehicle sunroof. Therefore, to address these issues, the existing vehicle sunroof support structure needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vehicle-mounted sunroof support structure with good support stability and to prevent water accumulation.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention can be implemented using the following technical solutions: A vehicle-mounted canopy support structure includes a telescopic unit, a support unit, a fabric support unit, and a connecting rod. The telescopic unit, support unit, and fabric support unit are each provided in two sets. The support unit is rotatably connected to one end of the telescopic unit, and the support unit can extend outward or retract inward relative to the telescopic unit. The fabric support unit is rotatably connected to the telescopic unit. When both sets of telescopic units and support units are deployed, the connecting rod can be laid horizontally between the two sets of telescopic units, and the fabric support units connected to the two sets of telescopic units can be connected to each other to form an upward arched state.

[0006] In one embodiment, the telescopic unit includes a plurality of telescopic rods that are sequentially sleeved together. The adjacent telescopic rods are fixed by locking members and positioning holes. The locking members are sleeved on the upper telescopic rod, and the lower telescopic rod has a plurality of positioning holes. The extension length of the adjacent two telescopic rods is adjusted by the locking members cooperating with the positioning holes.

[0007] In one embodiment, the support unit includes a plurality of support rods that are sequentially connected. The adjacent support rods are fixed by means of ball bearings and through holes. The upper support rod has a plurality of through holes, and the ball bearings are located on the lower support rod. The tension length of the two adjacent support rods is adjusted by means of the ball bearings engaging with the through holes.

[0008] In one embodiment, the locking member includes a locking housing, a positioning clamp, and an elastic member. The locking housing is sleeved on the telescopic rod and has a movable groove. The positioning clamp is installed in the movable groove and its top protrudes out of the movable groove. The elastic member abuts against the top of the positioning clamp and the side wall of the telescopic rod respectively. At the bottom of the positioning clamp, a positioning block is provided that penetrates the side wall of the telescopic rod and cooperates with the positioning hole.

[0009] In one embodiment, the fabric support unit includes a fabric support base and a fabric support rod. The fabric support base is rotatably connected to a locking member, and the fabric support rod is inserted into the fabric support base. The end of the fabric support rod in one set of fabric support units has a socket, and the end of the fabric support rod in another set of fabric support units has a plug. When the two sets of fabric support units are docked, the fabric support rod with the plug is inserted into the fabric support rod with the socket, so that the two sets of fabric support units can be plugged into each other.

[0010] In one embodiment, the support base is made of a soft material.

[0011] In one embodiment, the connecting rod includes a connecting main rod, a connecting secondary rod, and a connector. Two sets of connectors are provided and are respectively sleeved on the telescopic rods of the two sets of telescopic units. Connecting secondary rods are hinged at both ends of the connecting main rod. The connecting secondary rods at both ends can be folded or unfolded relative to the connecting main rod, and the connecting secondary rods at both ends are in a relative state after being folded.

[0012] In one embodiment, the connector includes an integrally formed sleeve portion and a plug portion. The sleeve portion is used to engage with the last telescopic rod section, and the plug portion is provided with a plug-in tenon groove. At the end of the connecting auxiliary rod, there is a plug-in tenon block corresponding to the plug-in tenon groove. The plug-in tenon block is inserted into the plug-in tenon groove so that the connecting auxiliary rod is connected to the connector.

[0013] In one embodiment, the end of the support rod described in the last section is provided with a support foot. Beneficial effects

[0014] This utility model of vehicle-mounted canopy support structure uses a connecting rod horizontally spanned between two sets of telescopic units to limit and fix the two sets of telescopic units and support units, thereby ensuring the stability of the support structure during use. When the two sets of telescopic units and support units are deployed, the two sets of fabric support units will rotate relative to each other and dock, forming an upward arch after docking. This causes the top surface of the laid canopy to arch upward, allowing rainwater to slide down and preventing water accumulation on the top surface of the canopy. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 10 A vehicle-mounted canopy support structure includes a telescopic unit 100, a support unit 200, a fabric support unit 300, and a connecting rod 400. Two sets of telescopic units 100, support units 200, and fabric support units 300 are provided. The support unit 200 is rotatably connected to one end of the telescopic unit 100, and the support unit 200 can extend outward or retract inward relative to the telescopic unit 100. The fabric support unit 300 is rotatably connected to the telescopic unit 100. When both sets of telescopic units 100 and support units 200 are deployed, the connecting rod 400 can be horizontally positioned between the two sets of telescopic units 100, and the fabric support units 300 connected to the two sets of telescopic units 100 can be connected to each other to form an upward arched shape.

[0021] Specifically, in this embodiment, two sets of telescopic units 100, support units 200, and fabric support units 300 are respectively provided. One end of each set of telescopic units 100 is hinged to both sides of the canopy box, while the support unit 200 is rotatably connected to the other end of the telescopic unit 100 for expansion or contraction. Simultaneously, the two sets of fabric support units 300 are rotatably connected to the two sets of telescopic units 100. When using the support structure, the two sets of telescopic units 100 are expanded outwards from inside the canopy box, so that the telescopic units 100 face the front of the canopy box. Then, the telescopic units 100 and support units 200 are stretched. After being stretched to the desired position, the support unit 200 rotates 90° relative to the telescopic unit 100 to support the ground. At this time, both ends of the connecting rod 400 are connected to the two sets of telescopic units 100 respectively, so that the connection... The connecting rod 400 is positioned between the two sets of telescopic units 100. The connecting rod 400 can limit and fix the two sets of telescopic units 100 and support units 200 after they are unfolded, thereby ensuring the stability of the support structure during use. After the telescopic units 100, support units 200 and connecting rod 400 are unfolded and assembled, the support cloth units 300 on the two sets of telescopic units 100 are rotated relative to each other and the two sets of support cloth units 300 are connected to each other. After the connection, the two sets of support cloth units 300 will form an upward arch. Finally, the curtain is laid from the skylight box towards the stretching direction of the telescopic unit 100. The two sets of support cloth units 300 will arch the top surface of the laid curtain upward. The arching of the top surface of the curtain allows rainwater to slide down, thereby preventing water accumulation on the top surface of the curtain and making the overall design of the support structure reasonable.

[0022] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 To facilitate the outward expansion and inward retraction of the telescopic unit 100 and the support unit 200, the telescopic unit 100 in this embodiment includes several telescopic rods 110 sequentially connected. Adjacent telescopic rods 110 are fixed by locking members 120 and positioning holes 130. The support unit 200 includes several support rods 210 sequentially connected, with adjacent support rods 210 fixed by ball bearings 220 and through holes 230. The telescopic rods 110 allow for the extension or retraction of the telescopic unit 100. During extension, the locking members 120 and positioning holes 130 position adjacent telescopic rods 110. Similarly, the support rods 210 allow for the extension or retraction of the support unit 200. After extension, the ball bearings 220 and through holes 230 position adjacent support rods 210, thus ensuring the stability of the telescopic unit 100 and the support unit 200 during use and facilitating their storage.

[0023] In addition, in this embodiment, the first section of the support rod 210 of the support unit 200 is rotatably connected to the last section of the telescopic rod 110 of the telescopic unit 100. Therefore, when the support unit 200 is stored, it can be retracted into the last section of the telescopic rod 110, which facilitates the storage of the telescopic unit 100 and the support unit 200. When in use, the support unit 200 can be pulled out from the telescopic unit 100. After being pulled out into place, it can be rotated 90° to support the ground, thereby realizing the use of the telescopic unit 100 and the support unit 200.

[0024] In order to make the support unit 200 more stable, a support foot 240 is provided at the end of the last support rod 210. The support foot 240 can increase the contact area with the ground and facilitate fixing to the ground, thereby improving the support stability of the support unit 200.

[0025] Furthermore, in order to control and adjust the stretching of the telescopic unit 100 and the support unit 200, a locking member 120 is fitted onto the upper telescopic rod 110, while the lower telescopic rod 110 has several positioning holes 130. By cooperating with the locking member 120 and the positioning holes 130, the stretching length of the two adjacent telescopic rods 110 can be adjusted. Similarly, several through holes 230 are opened on the upper support rod 210, and a ball bearing 220 is placed on the lower support rod 210. By cooperating with the ball bearing 220 and the through holes 230, the stretching length of the two adjacent support rods 210 can also be adjusted. Finally, by cooperating with the locking member 120 and the positioning holes 130, and with the ball bearing 220 and the through holes 230, the stretching length of the telescopic unit 100 and the support unit 200 can be controlled and adjusted, thereby improving the practical performance of the strut structure.

[0026] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 To facilitate adjustment of the locking member 120 and the plurality of positioning holes 130, the locking member 120 in this embodiment includes a locking housing 121, a positioning clamp 122, and an elastic member 123. The locking housing 121 is sleeved on the telescopic rod 110, and a movable groove 124 is provided on the locking housing 121. The positioning clamp 122 is installed in the movable groove 124, and its top protrudes out of the movable groove 124. The elastic member 123 abuts against the top of the positioning clamp 122 and the side wall of the telescopic rod 110 respectively. At the bottom of the positioning clamp 122, a positioning block 125 is provided that penetrates the side wall of the telescopic rod 110 and cooperates with the positioning hole 130.

[0027] When the telescopic unit 100 is extended, the telescopic rods 110 can be pulled out sequentially. When pulled to a certain position, the limiting block 125 at the bottom of the positioning clamp 122 of the locking member 120 on the previous telescopic rod 110 will engage with the positioning hole 130 of the next telescopic rod 110, thereby fixing the two adjacent telescopic rods 110. When the extension length needs to be adjusted, the top of the positioning clamp 122 can be pressed. When the positioning clamp 122 is pressed, it will move downward along the movable groove 124 and squeeze the elastic member 123, thereby causing the limiting block 125 to disengage from the positioning hole 130. At this time, the next telescopic rod 110 can be extended to the required length. After lengthening, release the pressure on the positioning clamp 122. Under the action of the elastic element 123, the positioning clamp 122 will cause the bottom positioning block 125 to re-engage into the corresponding positioning hole 130, thereby realizing one-click adjustment between the locking element 120 and the positioning holes 130, making the extension length of the telescopic unit 100 more convenient and simple to adjust and control. When it is necessary to retract the telescopic unit 100, press the positioning clamp 122 again to make the limiting block 124 at the bottom of the positioning clamp 122 disengage from the positioning hole 130. At this time, the telescopic rods 110 can be retracted directly in sequence, making the telescopic unit 100 convenient and quick to extend or retract, and saving time and effort.

[0028] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In order to form an arched state when the two sets of fabric support units 300 are docked, the fabric support unit 300 in this embodiment includes a fabric support base 310 and a fabric support rod 320. The fabric support base 310 is rotatably connected to the locking member 120, and the fabric support base 310 is made of soft material, while the fabric support rod 320 is inserted into the fabric support base 310. The end of the fabric support rod 320 in one set of fabric support units 300 has a socket 321, and the end of the fabric support rod 320 in the other set of fabric support units 300 has a plug 322. When the two sets of fabric support units 300 are docked, the fabric support rod 320 with the plug 322 is inserted into the fabric support rod 320 with the socket 321, so that the two sets of fabric support units 300 can be plugged into each other.

[0029] After the two sets of fabric support units 300 rotate relative to each other, the fabric support rod 320 with the plug 322 is inserted into the fabric support rod 320 with the insertion hole 321, thus realizing the mutual insertion of the two sets of fabric support units 300. The insertion method makes the assembly of the two sets of fabric support units 300 convenient and simple, and can be completed by one person. Of course, after the two sets of fabric support units 300 are inserted, Velcro can be wrapped around the insertion point to improve the insertion stability of the two sets of fabric support units 300. At the same time, because the fabric support base 310 is made of soft material, the two sets of fabric support rods 320 will interact after insertion. The force is applied to the support base 310, causing it to deform. This deformation causes the two sets of support rods 320 to arch upwards after being inserted. When the curtain is laid on the support unit 300, the top of the curtain will also arch upwards, allowing rainwater to slide down and preventing water accumulation on the top of the curtain when the support structure is used in rainy weather. Furthermore, the support rods 320 apply pressure to the soft support base 310, so the upward arching of the support rods 320 will not damage the telescopic units 100 on both sides, thus improving the service life of the support structure.

[0030] Finally, please see Figures 8 to 10 In this embodiment, the connecting rod 400 includes a main connecting rod 410, a secondary connecting rod 420, and a connector 430. Two sets of connectors 430 are provided and respectively fitted onto the telescopic rods 110 of the two telescopic units 100. Secondary connecting rods 420 are hinged to both ends of the main connecting rod 410. The secondary connecting rods 420 at both ends can be folded or unfolded relative to the main connecting rod 410, and are in a relative state after folding. The connectors 430... It includes an integrally formed sleeve part 431 and a plug part 432. The sleeve part 431 is used to engage with the last telescopic rod 110 in the telescopic unit 100. The plug part 432 is provided with a plug-in tenon groove 433. At the end of the connecting auxiliary rod 420, there is a plug-in tenon block 421 corresponding to the plug-in tenon groove 433. The plug-in tenon block 421 is inserted into the plug-in tenon groove 433 so that the connecting auxiliary rod 420 is connected to the plug part 430.

[0031] By unfolding the connecting auxiliary rods 420 at both ends, the overall length of the connecting rod 400 can be matched with the spacing between the two sets of telescopic units 100 after unfolding. This ensures that the ends of the connecting auxiliary rods 420 on both sides are connected to the two sets of telescopic units 100 respectively, so as to realize the assembly of the connecting rod 400. The connecting rod 400 can limit and fix the two sets of telescopic units 100 and support units 200 after unfolding, thereby ensuring the stability of the strut structure during support use. When the connecting rod 400 is stored, the connecting auxiliary rods 420 at both ends of the connecting main rod 410 are folded relative to each other to reduce the overall length of the connecting rod 400, thereby facilitating the storage of the connecting rod 400.

[0032] In addition, the connector 430 is fitted onto the last section of the telescopic rod 110 and located at the connection between the telescopic rod 110 and the support rod 210. Therefore, the connecting rod 400 can be placed at the very end of the telescopic unit 100 after assembly. The connecting rod 400 at the very end cooperates with the canopy box to form two support points for laying the canopy, thereby making the strut structure design reasonable and ensuring the laying of the canopy. When assembling the connecting rod 400, the connecting auxiliary rods 420 at both ends of the connecting main rod 410 are unfolded outward, and the tenon and mortise blocks 421 at the ends of the connecting auxiliary rods 420 are directly inserted into the tenon and mortise grooves 433 of the connector 432. This enables the rapid assembly between the connecting auxiliary rods 420 and the connector 430, making the strut structure easy and simple to operate.

[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description; however, any modifications, alterations, or variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are equivalent embodiments of this utility model; furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
