Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle-mounted tent technology, and more particularly to a vehicle-mounted tent. Background Technology
[0002] A vehicle-mounted tent is a tent that is at least partially mounted on a vehicle, providing additional activity space on top of the vehicle's existing space.
[0003] In related technologies, vehicle tents adopt a double-layer foldable design to increase activity space. However, during the unfolding process, the center of gravity of the vehicle tent will shift, the upper space has poor stability and is prone to shaking, which affects the user experience. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the structure of vehicle tents. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, embodiments of this application aim to provide a vehicle-mounted tent to increase the deployment stability of the vehicle-mounted tent.
[0005] This application provides a vehicle-mounted tent, including:
[0006] Underframe, the underframe being used for connection to the vehicle;
[0007] The top frame includes a first frame and a second frame that are connected to each other;
[0008] The vehicle-mounted tent has a folded state and an unfolded state;
[0009] In the folded state, the second frame, the first frame, and the base frame are stacked sequentially along the height direction;
[0010] In the unfolded state, the top frame moves relative to the base frame to generate a displacement along the height direction and a displacement along a first direction above the base frame. The top frame and the base frame form a first movable space along the height direction and a clearance area is formed above the base frame. The second frame moves relative to the first frame toward the clearance area to be laid flat with the first frame along the first direction and to cover the clearance area. A second movable space is formed above the top frame.
[0011] The top frame has a first reference surface, which is arranged along the height direction and passes through the center of gravity of the top frame. In the folded state and the unfolded state, in the orthographic projection of a plane perpendicular to the height direction, the projection of the first reference surface is located within the projection of the base frame, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the height direction.

The first drive mechanism is used to drive the first frame to move up and down in the height direction. The first frame slides with the base frame or the first drive mechanism so that the first frame can be displaced relative to the base frame or the first drive mechanism in a first direction.
[0015] In some implementations, the vehicle-mounted tent includes a first drive mechanism, one end of which is connected to the base frame and the other end of which is connected to the first frame. The first drive mechanism is used to drive the first frame to generate a vertical displacement above the base frame and simultaneously generate a displacement in a first direction.
[0016] In some embodiments, the first drive mechanism includes a drive rod and a first support rod, one end of the drive rod being hinged to the base frame and the other end being hinged to the first support rod, one end of the first support rod being hinged to the base frame and the other end being hinged to the first frame; in the folded state, the drive rod and the first support rod are housed within the base frame; in the unfolded state, the first frame is supported above the first support rod.

[0020] In some embodiments, the first drive mechanism further includes at least one crossbar, which is hinged to the first support rod and the second support rod, respectively.
[0021] In some implementations, there are two of each of the first and second support rods, with the two first support rods spaced apart along the second direction and the two second support rods spaced apart along the second direction, and the first direction, the second direction, and the height direction being perpendicular to each other.
[0022] And / or, in the unfolded state, the crossbar extends along the first direction, and the crossbar, the first support rod, and the second support rod together constitute a ladder.
[0023] In some embodiments, the vehicle-mounted tent further includes a support member for engaging with the second frame. In the unfolded state, the support member is supported at the bottom of the second frame, and the second support rod is located between the support member and the first support rod.
[0024] In some implementations, the vehicle-mounted tent includes a second drive mechanism, one end of which is hinged to the first frame and the other end of which is hinged to the second frame. The second drive mechanism is capable of driving the second frame to rotate up and down relative to the first frame along the height direction.
[0025] The vehicle-mounted tent includes a first tent fabric connected to the periphery of the top frame. In the folded state, the first tent fabric is folded between the first frame and the second frame. In the unfolded state, at least a portion of the first tent fabric is unfolded above the top frame to enclose the second activity space together with the top frame.
[0026] In some embodiments, the top frame includes a middle plate that is hinged to the first frame and the second frame respectively. In the unfolded state, the middle plate connects the top frame and the bottom frame at their close ends along a first direction. In the folded state, the middle plate extends along the height direction and, together with the first frame and the second frame, encloses a closed accommodating space to accommodate the first tarpaulin and the second drive mechanism.
[0027] In some embodiments, the top frame further includes a middle frame, and the second drive mechanism includes a slider, a first connecting rod, and a second connecting rod. The slider is slidably engaged with the middle frame. One end of the first connecting rod is connected to the slider, and the other end is hinged to the first frame. One end of the second connecting rod is connected to the slider, and the other end is hinged to the second frame. In the folded state, the middle frame is housed in the accommodating space. In the unfolded state, the middle frame is connected to the top side of the middle plate to support the first tarpaulin.
[0028] In some embodiments, the top side of the underframe is open to form a first opening, the underframe has a receiving area, the first opening communicates with the receiving area, and in the folded state, the first frame closes the first opening; a second opening is formed on the bottom side of the underframe, the underframe is connected to the top side of the vehicle's cargo bed, and the underframe communicates with the space of the vehicle's cargo bed through the second opening;
[0029] And / or, the base frame is open on one side along a first direction to form an opening, the opening communicating with the containment area, the vehicle-mounted tent including a baffle connected to the first frame, the baffle being located outside the first frame in the unfolded state, and the baffle closing the opening in the folded state.
[0030] In some implementations, the vehicle-mounted tent further includes a second tent, one end of which is connected to the base frame and the other end of which is connected to the bottom side of the top frame; in the unfolded state, the base frame, the second tent, and the top frame together enclose the first activity space; in the folded state, the second tent is housed within the base frame.
[0031] And / or, the top frame is provided with an entrance / exit, which extends through the top frame along the height direction, and in the unfolded state, the first activity space is connected to the second activity space through the entrance / exit.
[0032] The vehicle-mounted tent provided in this application embodiment forms a first and a second activity space through the cooperation of the top frame and the base frame. The double-layered foldable space provides users with sufficient operating space, increasing user comfort, and also accommodates the obstacle avoidance needs of vehicles such as pickup trucks. During the transition from the folded to the unfolded state, the top frame undergoes displacement along the height direction and along the first direction, ensuring that the projection of the top frame's center of gravity falls within the projection of the base frame. This results in a small center of gravity shift and strong unfolding stability after the vehicle-mounted tent is unfolded, facilitating effective support from the base frame for the top frame and its load.

[0053] Please see Figures 1 to 16 This application provides a vehicle-mounted tent 100.
[0054] The vehicle-mounted tent 100 is used to install on a vehicle, which can be any vehicle provided in the related art capable of carrying the vehicle-mounted tent 100 of the present application embodiment. The vehicle can include pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, range-extended vehicles, fuel vehicles, etc. The type of vehicle can also include small cars, medium-sized cars, sedans, trucks, pickups, trailers, CDVs (Car Derived Vans), MPVs (Multi-Purpose Vehicles), SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles), etc. The present application does not limit the specific type of vehicle.
[0055] In this application, the vehicle-mounted tent 100 is used as an example for installation on a pickup truck 200. The pickup truck 200 specifically refers to a light truck with an open cargo box behind the cab.
[0056] The following height direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the vehicle's driving surface when the vehicle tent 100 is installed on the vehicle according to the set installation method. This application uses the vehicle's height direction as a reference.
[0057] It should be noted that the height direction described below is the direction perpendicular to the vehicle's driving surface when the vehicle tent 100 is installed in the vehicle according to the set installation method. That is, the height direction of this embodiment is based on the height direction of the vehicle.
[0058] The vehicle-mounted tent 100 includes a base frame 10 and a top frame 20.
[0059] The underframe 10 is used for connection to a vehicle. The vehicle-mounted tent 100 is connected to the vehicle via the underframe 10, which provides a stable mounting platform and can also support the weight of the overhead frame 20 and its load. For example, when the vehicle is a pickup truck 200, the underframe 10 is connected to the vehicle's cargo bed 201.
[0060] The top frame 20 includes a first frame 21 and a second frame 22 that are connected to each other. The top frame 20 is located above the base frame 10. It should be noted that the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 can be directly connected or connected through an intermediate structure, which is not limited here.
[0061] The vehicle-mounted tent 100 has both a folded and an unfolded state.
[0062] In the folded state, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The second frame 22, the first frame 21, and the base frame 10 are stacked sequentially along the height direction.
[0063] In the expanded state, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The top frame 20 moves relative to the base frame 10 to generate displacement along the height direction and displacement along the first direction above the base frame 10. The top frame 20 and the base frame 10 form a first activity space 100a along the height direction and a clearance area is formed above the base frame 10. The second frame 22 moves relative to the first frame 21 toward the clearance area to be laid flat with the first frame 21 along the first direction and to cover the clearance area. A second activity space 100b is formed above the top frame 20.
[0064] Top frame 20 has a first reference plane E, please refer to Figure 7 The first reference plane E is arranged along the height direction and passes through the center of gravity of the top frame 20. In the orthographic projection of the plane perpendicular to the height direction, in both the folded and unfolded states, the projection of the first reference plane E lies within the projection of the base frame 10.
[0065] In other words, in the folded state, the second frame 22 is stacked on top of the first frame 21, and the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 are stacked along the height direction to achieve the folding of the top frame 20. The top frame 20 is then stacked on top of the base frame 10. The second frame 22, the first frame 21, and the base frame 10 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom.
[0066] It should be noted that the second frame 22, the first frame 21, and the base frame 10 are stacked in several ways. They can be arranged sequentially along the height direction, or the second frame 22 can abut against the first frame 21, while the first frame 21 and the base frame 10 are spaced apart along the height direction, with the space being much smaller than the space in the unfolded state. Alternatively, the second frame 22 and the first frame 21 can be spaced apart along the height direction, with the first frame 21 abutting against the base frame 10. In this way, in the folded state, the size of the vehicle tent 100 along the height direction decreases. Simultaneously, the top frame 20 folds along the height direction, and its size along the first direction also decreases. That is, the size of the vehicle tent 100 along the first direction in the folded state is smaller than its size along the first direction in the unfolded state. Of course, stacking is also permissible if the second frame 22, the first frame 21, and the base frame 10 have a small overlap along the height direction.
[0067] It is understandable that, in the folded state, in the orthographic projection onto a plane perpendicular to the height direction, the projection range of the top frame 20 can be greater than, less than or equal to the projection range of the base frame 10.
[0068] During the transition from the folded to the unfolded state, the top frame 20 can rise relative to the base frame 10 in the height direction, gradually moving away from the base frame 10 and forming a first active space 100a. Taking the vehicle tent 100 used in a pickup truck 200 as an example, the base frame 10 can be installed above the rear bed 201 of the pickup truck 200, with the first active space 100a located above the rear bed 201. This does not affect the usable space of the rear bed 201, and the formation of the first active space 100a increases the user's usable space, making it easier for the user to place items. The first active space 100a achieves spatial expansion in the height direction.
[0069] Meanwhile, the top frame 20 can also be displaced relative to the base frame 10 in the first direction. In this way, the top frame 20 avoids part of the structure of the base frame 10 by displacing in the first direction, so that when the second frame 22 is unfolded relative to the first frame 21, it will not be entirely located outside the base frame 10. That is, at least part of the second frame 22 is located directly above the base frame 10 to block the avoidance area.
[0070] It should be noted that the top frame 20 can generate displacement along the height direction and displacement along the first direction simultaneously, or it can be in a sequential order; there are no restrictions here.
[0071] In the unfolded state, the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 are laid flat along the first direction. This means that the first frame 21 changes from a folded state with the second frame 22 to a horizontally unfolded state with the included angle between them being 180° or close to 180° (i.e., allowing for certain assembly and manufacturing errors). In this way, the top frame 20 unfolds along the first direction. A second activity space 100b is formed above the top frame 20. Both the first activity space 100a and the second activity space 100b facilitate user movement.
[0072] The way the second frame 22 unfolds relative to the first frame 21 is not limited; it can be flipped, slid, or other methods, and there are no restrictions here.
[0073] It should be noted that there are no limitations on how the second activity space 100b is formed above the top frame 20. In some embodiments, the vehicle tent 100 includes a fence, which, together with the top frame 20, encloses a relatively open second activity space 100b.
[0074] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 2The vehicle-mounted tent includes a first tent fabric 70, which is connected to the periphery of the top frame 20. In the folded state, the first tent fabric 70 is folded between the first frame 21 and the second frame 22. In the unfolded state, the first tent fabric 70 is unfolded above the top frame 20, forming a second activity space 100b with the top frame 20. Here, the first tent fabric 70 can be a frame tent, which refers to a tent that requires a frame to support the first tent fabric 70. It can also be an inflatable tent, which refers to a tent that uses inflatable columns instead of the aforementioned frame to support the first tent fabric 70. It can also be a hybrid inflatable and frame tent, that is, a tent that uses both inflatable columns and frames to support the first tent fabric 70.
[0075] The first tarpaulin 70 is connected to the periphery of the top frame 20. Here, the first tarpaulin 70 can be connected to the inner circumferential edge of the top frame 20 or the outer circumferential edge of the top frame 20. The top frame 20 can provide support for the first tarpaulin 70 and, together with the first tarpaulin 70, protect the user from external environmental interference.
[0076] At least a portion of the first tarpaulin 70 is spread out above the top frame 20. This can be either the entire first tarpaulin 70 is spread out above the top frame 20, or only a portion of the first tarpaulin 70 is spread out above the top frame 20, meaning that when the first tarpaulin 70 is spread out, it overlaps with the top frame 20 in the height direction.
[0077] For example, the first tarpaulin 70 can be connected to the periphery of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 respectively. In the folded state, the first tarpaulin 70 can be folded between the first frame 21 and the second frame 22, that is, the first tarpaulin 70 can be folded and stored in the space between the first frame 21 and the second frame 22, thereby making the overall storage volume of the vehicle tent 100 smaller.
[0078] The first tarpaulin 70 and the top frame 20 enclose a second activity space 100b. That is, when the first tarpaulin 70 is unfolded, it and the unfolded top frame 20 enclose a second activity space 100b for users to move around in. The second activity space 100b allows users to lie down and rest, and forms a relatively enclosed space to block the influence of the external environment such as dust and rainwater to a certain extent, and protect the safety of users, preventing users from accidentally falling or being affected by external organisms when camping in the wild.
[0079] In a plane projection perpendicular to the height direction, whether folded or unfolded, the projection of the center of gravity of the top frame 20 always falls within the projection of the base frame 10. In the folded state, the overall center of gravity of the vehicle tent 100 is more centrally located, resulting in better folding stability.
[0080] During the deployment process, the second frame moves relative to the first frame until it is deployed. If the first frame only has a lifting displacement, the center of gravity of the top frame will move along the first direction, thus gradually deviating from the base frame. The overall center of gravity of the vehicle tent will shift after deployment. When the dimensions of the first frame along the first direction are basically the same as those of the base frame, the second frame will be almost entirely located outside the base frame when deployed. The cantilever size is large, the center of gravity of the top frame is located outside the base frame, the stability of the second activity space is poor, and there is a risk of swaying.
[0081] Therefore, in this embodiment of the application, during the switching process from the folded state to the unfolded state, the displacement of the top frame 20 in the first direction ensures that after unfolding, the projection of the center of gravity of the top frame 20 can still fall within the projection of the base frame 10, and the overall center of gravity of the vehicle tent 100 is balanced after unfolding, resulting in high stability.
[0082] The first direction is perpendicular to the height direction. The first direction can be any direction in the horizontal direction, and it can be a left-right or front-back direction. For example, the first direction is the front-back direction. Taking the chassis 10 installed on the rear bed 201 of the pickup truck 200 as an example, the setting of the first active space 100a can not only realize the space expansion along the height direction, but also increase the height of the roof frame 20 relative to the vehicle, reduce the probability of interference between the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 and the pickup truck 200 when they are unfolded in the front-back direction, and make the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 have sufficient space to unfold.
[0083] It is understandable that the unfolding of the first activity space 100a and the unfolding of the second activity space 100b can be carried out simultaneously or separately. The unfolding and folding of the first tarpaulin 70 can be carried out synchronously with the unfolding of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22, or separately.
[0084] It should be noted that when unfolded, the first activity space 100a and the second activity space 100b can be directly connected. That is, the user can enter the second activity space 100b from the first activity space 100a. Alternatively, the first activity space 100a can be disconnected from the second activity space 100b, meaning the user can enter the second activity space 100b without going through the first activity space 100a, for example, by entering the second activity space 100b directly from the outside. There are no restrictions on this.
[0085] For example, in some embodiments, the formation of the first activity space 100a and the unfolding and folding of the first frame 21, the second frame 22, and the first tarpaulin 70 are all achieved automatically and synchronously. That is, there is no need for the user to manually unfold and fold them, freeing up their hands, saving time and effort, and improving the user experience.
[0086] The vehicle-mounted tent 100 provided in this embodiment forms a first activity space 100a and a second activity space 100b through the cooperation of the top frame 20 and the base frame 10. The double-layered foldable space setting provides users with sufficient operating space, increases user comfort, and also accommodates the obstacle avoidance needs of vehicles such as pickup trucks. During the switching from the folded state to the unfolded state, the top frame 20 generates displacement along the height direction and displacement along the first direction, ensuring that the projection of the center of gravity of the top frame 20 is located within the projection of the base frame 10. The vehicle-mounted tent 100 has a small center of gravity offset after unfolding, strong unfolding stability, and facilitates the base frame 10 to provide effective support for the top frame 20 and its load.
[0087] In some embodiments, in the folded state, please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The second frame 22, the first frame 21, and the base frame 10 are arranged flush along the height direction.
[0088] In this embodiment, in the orthographic projection of a plane perpendicular to the height direction, the outer contours of the second frame 22 and the first frame 21 substantially coincide with the outer contour projection of the base frame 10. That is, in the folded state, the dimensions of the second frame 22 and the first frame 21 along the first direction and the second direction described below are substantially the same as those of the base frame 10. Thus, in the folded state, the vehicle tent 100 has a high overall aesthetic appeal and a suitable size. Furthermore, it facilitates sealed storage by sequentially abutting the second frame 22, the first frame 21, and the base frame 10, increasing the airtightness in the folded state and reducing the infiltration of rainwater and other impurities, so as to facilitate the next unfolding.
[0089] In the expanded state, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 Along the first direction, the first frame 21 extends beyond the base frame 10 and the second frame 22 extends beyond the base frame 10. That is, in the unfolded state, in the orthographic projection of a plane perpendicular to the height direction, the partial orthographic projection of the first frame 21 and the partial orthographic projection of the second frame 22 extend beyond the opposite ends of the orthographic projection of the base frame 10 along the first direction.
[0090] In this embodiment, in the unfolded state, the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 together cover the projection of the base frame 10. The first frame 21 and the second frame 22 have both partial orthographic projections that overlap with the base frame 10 and partial orthographic projections that extend beyond the base frame 10. This can increase the unfolded area and also ensure that the projection of the center of gravity of the top frame 20 after unfolding falls as close as possible to the middle area of the base frame 10, thereby reducing the cantilever length of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 and increasing the overall unfolding stability of the vehicle tent 100.
[0091] In some embodiments, in the unfolded state, please refer to... Figure 7The first frame 21 and the second frame 22 are symmetrical about the first reference plane E. For example, they are mirror symmetrical.
[0092] The first frame 21 and the second frame 22 are the same size, which facilitates manufacturing and folding, and increases the reliability of unfolding.
[0093] It should be noted that the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 are symmetrical about the first reference plane E, that is, the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 have the same shape and size, but the following entrance / exit 20a is allowed to be provided on the first frame 21 or the second frame 22.
[0094] In some embodiments, the first direction is parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal direction. Thus, the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 unfold in the longitudinal direction, and the first frame 21 can move in the longitudinal direction during lifting and lowering to adapt to the installation space and increase overall flexibility. For example, in the usage scenario of a pickup truck 200, the movement of the first frame 21 ensures that the entire vehicle-mounted tent 100, after unfolding, almost does not exceed the vehicle's dimensions, resulting in high overall stability.
[0095] For example, during the transition from a folded state to an unfolded state, please refer to... Figures 5 to 7 The first frame 21 drives the second frame 22 to rise along the height direction and move to the rear along the first direction. The first frame 21 is located entirely above the base frame 10, then partially above the base frame 10, and the other part is located behind the base frame 10, thus forming a clearance area above the base frame 10. The second frame 22 moves forward relative to the first frame 21 to partially block the clearance area, and the other part is located in front of the base frame 10.
[0096] The method by which the top frame 20 generates displacement along the height direction and displacement along the first direction is not limited.
[0097] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 14 to 16 The vehicle-mounted tent 100 includes a first drive mechanism 30. One end of the first drive mechanism 30 is connected to the base frame 10, and the other end is connected to the first frame 21. The first drive mechanism 30 is used to drive the first frame 21 to move up and down in the height direction. The first frame 21 is slidably engaged with the base frame 10 or the first drive mechanism 30, so that the first frame 21 can generate displacement in a first direction relative to the base frame 10 and the first drive mechanism 30. Thus, the displacement in the height direction and the displacement in the first direction of the top frame 20 are sequential, and the first drive mechanism 30 is only used to drive the first frame 21 to move up and down in the height direction.
[0098] In some examples, the first frame 21 is slidably engaged with the base frame 10. Thus, when it needs to be in the unfolded state, the top frame 20 first undergoes a sliding displacement along the first direction, and then rises upward under the action of the first drive mechanism 30.
[0099] For other examples, please refer to Figures 14 to 16 The first frame 21 is slidably engaged with the first drive mechanism 30. Thus, when it needs to be in the unfolded state, the top frame 20 first rises under the action of the first drive mechanism 30, and then slides relative to the first drive mechanism 30 in the first direction.
[0100] The construction of the first drive mechanism 30 is not limited. It can be a scissor lift structure, a rigid chain lift mechanism, or a lifting mechanism driven by a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder. No restrictions are placed here.
[0101] In this embodiment, the lifting and lowering of the top frame 20 along the height direction and its movement along the first direction are carried out separately. The structure of the first drive mechanism 30 can be relatively simple. The step-by-step operation can be adjusted at each step, which is also convenient for troubleshooting and increases maintenance convenience.
[0102] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 One end of the first drive mechanism 30 is connected to the base frame 10, and the other end is connected to the first frame 21. The first drive mechanism 30 is used to drive the first frame 21 to generate a vertical displacement along the height direction above the base frame 10 and at the same time generate a displacement along the first direction.
[0103] In this embodiment, the generation of displacement in the height direction of the top frame 20 and the generation of displacement along the first direction are performed synchronously. While driving the first frame 21 to rise and fall in the height direction, the first driving mechanism 30 also drives the first frame 21 to generate displacement along the first direction.
[0104] In this embodiment, the lifting and lowering of the top frame 20 along the height direction and its movement along the first direction are carried out simultaneously. On the one hand, this can save time and improve overall work efficiency, as there is no need to wait for one action to be completed before starting another, thus reducing unnecessary pauses. On the other hand, the lifting and lowering and movement are achieved through a first drive mechanism 30, reducing the number of drive mechanisms.
[0105] In this embodiment, the specific form of the first drive mechanism 30 is not limited, and it can be a multi-link structure, etc. For example, in some embodiments, please refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7The first drive mechanism 30 includes a drive rod 33 and a first support rod 31. One end of the drive rod 33 is hinged to the base frame 10, and the other end is hinged to the first support rod 31. One end of the first support rod 31 is hinged to the base frame 10, and the other end is hinged to the first frame 21. In the folded state, the drive rod 33 and the first support rod 31 are housed within the base frame 10. In the unfolded state, the first frame 21 is supported above the first support rod 31.
[0106] In other words, in the unfolded state, the first drive mechanism 30 can provide support for the first frame 21 through the first support rod 31, thereby transferring gravity to the base frame 10 through the first support rod 31. The base frame 10 can indirectly provide support for the first frame 21, increasing the stability of the first frame 21. In the folded state, the drive rod 33 and the first support rod 31 are folded inside the base frame 10, eliminating the need for additional storage space, resulting in a small overall folded volume for the vehicle tent 100.
[0107] The drive rod 33 drives the first support rod 31 to move. In this embodiment, the drive rod 33, the first support rod 31, the base frame 10, and the first frame 21 form a four-bar linkage mechanism. The movement is simple, the stability is high, and the maintenance cost is low.
[0108] The power source for the drive rod 33 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, motor, or other structure, and there are no restrictions here.
[0109] The number of drive rods 33 and first support rods 31 is unlimited; there can be one or more of them.
[0110] In some embodiments, there are two drive rods 33 and two first support rods 31. The two first support rods 31 and drive rods 33 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the base frame 10 along the second direction. The first direction, the second direction, and the height direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0111] For example, when the first direction is the front-back direction, the second direction can be the left-right direction.
[0112] In this embodiment, there are two first support rods 31 and two drive rods 33, which facilitates driving the top frame 20 to move above the base frame 10 from both sides in the second direction, increasing the stability of movement. In addition, the two first support rods 31 provide support for the first frame 21 from both sides in the second direction, further increasing the support stability of the first frame 21.
[0113] The drive rod 33 corresponds one-to-one with the first support rod 31. Of course, in some embodiments, one drive rod 33 corresponds to multiple first support rods 31. This is not a limitation, as long as movement can be achieved.
[0114] In some embodiments, in the unfolded state, please refer to... Figure 7The first support rod 31 extends along the height direction. In this way, the first support rod 31 can provide stable support for the top frame 20 when it is deployed, thereby increasing the deployment stability of the vehicle-mounted tent 100.
[0115] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The drive rod 33 is a telescopic rod, and the connection position between the drive rod 33 and the first support rod 31 is located between the connection position between the first support rod 31 and the base frame 10 and the connection position between the first support rod 31 and the top frame 20.
[0116] It is understandable that the telescopic rod can be an electric push rod, a pneumatic push rod, or a hydraulic push rod, etc.
[0117] In this embodiment, the extension and retraction of the drive rod 33 enables the first support rod 31 to drive the first frame 21 to achieve displacement changes along the height direction and displacement changes along the first direction. The structure is simple and convenient. The connection position between the drive rod 33 and the first support rod 31 is located between the connection position between the first support rod 31 and the base frame 10 and the connection position between the first support rod 31 and the top frame 20, which facilitates driving. When unfolded, it can also form a triangular structure with the first support rod 31 and the base frame 10, increasing the unfolding stability.
[0118] In some embodiments, the first drive mechanism 30 further includes a second support rod 32, one end of which is hinged to the base frame 10 and the other end is hinged to the top frame 20. The second support rod 32 is directly or indirectly hinged to the drive rod 33 so as to move in conjunction with the first support rod 31. In the unfolded state, the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 are spaced apart along a first direction.
[0119] In this embodiment, the second support rod 32 can, in the unfolded state, work together with the first support rod 31 to support the top frame 20, thereby increasing the stability of the top frame 20.
[0120] The second support rod 32 moves in conjunction with the first support rod 31, meaning that there is no relative movement between the second support rod 32 and the first support rod 31; they move synchronously.
[0121] The second support rod 32 can be directly connected to the drive rod 33 or indirectly connected to the drive rod 33; there is no restriction on this.
[0122] The first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 can both provide direct support to the first frame 21, or the first support rod 31 can provide direct support to the first frame 21 and the second support rod 32 can provide direct support to the second frame 22.
[0123] For example, the second frame 22 is separately disposed from the first drive mechanism 30, and the second support rod 32 is hinged to the first frame 21. In the unfolded state, the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 are supported below the first frame 21, and are always separate from the second frame 22. In this way, the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 can provide stable support for the first frame 21 without affecting the movement of the second frame 22.
[0124] In the expanded state, please refer to Figure 7 The second support rod 32 extends along the height direction.
[0125] In some embodiments, in the unfolded state, the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 are supported below the first frame 21 and are separately disposed from the second frame 22. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 11 The vehicle-mounted tent 100 includes a support plate 92, which is connected to the second support rod 32 on the side near the second frame 22. In the unfolded state, the support plate 92 is supported under the top frame 20 and located outside the first frame 21.
[0126] In other words, the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 together provide support for the first frame 21, thereby providing stable support when the first frame 21 is driven to move. The second frame 22 is separately disposed from the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32, which facilitates the unfolding or folding of the second frame 22 relative to the first frame 21.
[0127] The support plate 92 is supported below the top frame 20 and located outside the first frame 21. This means that the support plate 92 supports the top frame 20 outside the first frame 21. The support plate 92 can support the second frame 22, support the intermediate plate 23 described below, or support both the intermediate plate 23 and the second frame 22 at the same time, so as to reduce the cantilever size of the top frame 20 after it is unfolded and increase the unfolding stability.
[0128] Understandably, the support plate 92 moves with the second support rod 32. In the unfolded state, the support plate 92 is laid flat along the first direction. In the folded state, the support plate 92 can extend along the height direction. In the embodiment where the base frame 10 has an opening 10d, the opening 10d can be closed by the support plate 92, i.e., there is no need to set the baffle 90 described below.
[0129] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 The first drive mechanism 30 also includes at least one crossbar 34, which is hinged to the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 respectively.
[0130] Thus, the second support rod 32 achieves linkage movement with the first support rod 31 through the crossbar 34. The crossbar 34 can increase the overall structural strength of the first drive mechanism 30 and integrate the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 into a whole, resulting in higher deployment stability of the vehicle tent 100.
[0131] The number of crossbars 34 can be one or more, and there is no restriction here.
[0132] The number of second support rods 32 can be one or more. See some embodiments for details. Figure 7 There are two first support rods 31 and two second support rods 32, with the two first support rods 31 spaced apart along the second direction and the two second support rods 32 spaced apart along the second direction. In this way, in the unfolded state, they can work together with the first support rods 31 to support the top frame 20, increasing the stability of the top frame 20.
[0133] In this embodiment, in the folded state, the two sets of first support rods 31 and second support rods 32 can be rotated and folded from the vertical state downward and in the first direction to the opposite sides of the base frame 10 along the second direction.
[0134] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 In the unfolded state, the crossbar 34 extends along the first direction, and the crossbar 34, the first support bar 31, and the second support bar 32 together form a ladder.
[0135] In this embodiment, a ladder can be formed by the crossbar 34, the first support rod 31, and the second support rod 32, allowing the user to enter the second activity space 100b from the first activity space 100a. This eliminates the need for an additional ladder, simplifying the structure of the vehicle-mounted tent 100. Furthermore, it does not occupy space along the second direction of the vehicle-mounted tent 100, facilitating user access to the first activity space 100a and improving user comfort.
[0136] Of course, in other embodiments, an escalator may also be provided for users to enter the second activity space 100b, which is not a limitation here.
[0137] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The vehicle-mounted tent 100 also includes a support member 50, which is used to cooperate with the second frame 22. In the unfolded state, the support member 50 is supported on the bottom of the second frame 22, and the second support rod 32 is located between the support member 50 and the first support rod 31.
[0138] For example, one end of the support member 50 is connected to the base frame 10 or the second frame 22, and the other end is a free end, so as to reduce the movement interference to the second frame 22.
[0139] Exemplary examples, in some embodiments, refer to Figure 13 One end of the support member 50 is connected to the base frame 10, and the other end is a free end. That is, the bottom end of the support member 50 is connected to the base frame 10, and the top end is a free end. In this embodiment, the support member 50 can achieve a separable docking with the second frame 22 through the movement of its top end, thereby providing support for the second frame 22 without affecting the folding of the second frame 22.
[0140] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 12 One end of the support member 50 is connected to the second frame 22, and the other end is a free end. That is, the top end of the support member 50 is connected to the second frame 22, and the bottom end is a free end. In this case, the support member 50 can achieve separable docking with the base frame 10 or the ground through the movement of its bottom end, thereby providing support for the second frame 22 without affecting the folding of the second frame 22.
[0141] In this embodiment, the second frame 22 is supported by the support member 50, which increases the unfolding stability of the second frame 22, thereby making the overall unfolding stability of the top frame 20 high.
[0142] It should be noted that the first support rod 31 and the support member 50 are arranged opposite each other along the first direction. The support member 50 can be located inside the base frame 10 or outside the base frame 10, and there is no restriction here.
[0143] In some embodiments, the support member 50 and the first support rod 31 move independently of each other.
[0144] In other words, there is no connection between the support member 50 and the first support rod 31; they do not interfere with each other. When the first support rod 31 moves, the support member 50 may or may not move. This increases the flexibility of the support member 50's arrangement. The support member 50 can be placed inside or outside the base frame 10, and there is no need for a connection structure between the support member 50 and the first support rod 31, allowing for sufficient arrangement space.
[0145] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The vehicle-mounted tent 100 includes a linkage component 60, which directly or indirectly connects the first support rod 31 and the support member 50 so that the first support rod 31 and the support member 50 form a linkage whole.
[0146] In this embodiment, the first support rod 31 and the support member 50 form a linked whole. Under the action of the drive rod 33, the first support rod 31 moves and drives the support member 50 to move synchronously through the linkage component 60. In this way, the support member 50 does not need an additional drive structure, the drive of the vehicle tent 100 is simpler and more convenient, and the first support rod 31 and the support member 50 can be unfolded and folded synchronously, which is more efficient.
[0147] The linkage component 60 can be directly connected to the support member 50 and the first support rod 31, or it can be indirectly connected. For example, the linkage component 60 is connected to the first support rod 31 through the connection with the second support rod 32.
[0148] The specific construction of the linkage component 60 is not limited; for example, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 8 The linkage component 60 includes a linkage rod 61 and an adapter 62. The adapter 62 is connected to the support member 50, and the linkage rod 61 is connected to the adapter 62 and the second support rod 32.
[0149] The specific structure of the support member 50 is not limited.
[0150] In an embodiment where the support member 50 and the first support rod 31 are independently configured, and the support member 50 is located outside the base frame 10, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 12 The support member 50 can be a rod-shaped structure. The top end of the support member 50 is connected to the end of the second frame 22 away from the first frame 21, and the bottom end is supported on the ground. In this case, the user can enter the second activity space 100b from the first activity space 100a, for example, by passing through a ladder formed by the first support rod 31, the second support rod 32, and the crossbar 34.
[0151] The support member 50 can also be configured as an escalator structure, with its top end connected to the end of the second frame 22 away from the first frame 21, and its bottom end supported on the ground. In this case, the user can directly enter the second activity space 100b from the outside of the base frame 10 via the support member 50, without having to pass through the first activity space 100a.
[0152] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The support member 50 is connected to the base frame 10. The support member 50 includes at least one support rod 51, the bottom end of which is hinged to the base frame 10. In the folded state, the extension direction of the support rod 51 is perpendicular to the height direction; in the unfolded state, the support rod 51 extends along the height direction. That is, in the folded state, the support rod 51 can extend along a first direction or a second direction, depending on the available space and ease of movement. For example, in the folded state, please refer to... Figure 10 Support rod 51 extends along the first direction.
[0153] For example, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 There are two support rods 51. The support member 50 includes a connecting rod 52. The two support rods 51 are connected to opposite sides of the base frame 10 along the second direction. The connecting rod 52 connects the two support rods 51. The two support rods 51 move synchronously.
[0154] In this embodiment, the two support rods 51 are integrated into a whole by the connecting rod 52, which increases the overall structural strength of the support member 50 and can support the second frame 22 from the opposite sides in the second direction, thereby increasing the unfolding stability of the top frame 20.
[0155] Understandably, please refer to Figure 13 The combination of connecting rod 52 and support rod 51 can form an escalator structure, allowing users to enter the second activity space 100b from the first activity space 100a. Alternatively, connecting rod 52 can serve only as a connecting structure and not form an escalator, with users still entering the second activity space 100b via a ladder formed by the first support rod 31, the second support rod 32, and the crossbar 34. This is not limited and can be adjusted according to the location of the entrance / exit 20a. In an embodiment where the entrance / exit 20a is located in the first frame 21, a ladder can be formed by the first support rod 31, the second support rod 32, and the crossbar 34.
[0156] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 The vehicle-mounted tent 100 includes a second drive mechanism 40, one end of which is hinged to the first frame 21 and the other end of which is hinged to the second frame 22. The second drive mechanism 40 can drive the second frame 22 to rotate up and down relative to the first frame 21 in the height direction.
[0157] In this embodiment, the second drive mechanism 40 drives the second frame 22 to flip up and down relative to the first frame 21, thereby folding the second frame 22 and the first frame 21 along the height direction and unfolding them along the first direction. The flipping method is convenient and has good unfolding stability. At the same time, it facilitates the formation of a relatively closed space between the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 when folding.
[0158] For example, the first drive mechanism 30 and the second drive mechanism 40 are independent of each other. That is, the first drive mechanism 30 and the second drive mechanism 40 do not interfere with each other, and the first drive mechanism 30 and the second drive mechanism 40 can work separately. When one of the first drive mechanism 30 and the second drive mechanism 40 is in operation, the other may not be in operation or may be in operation.
[0159] For example, when the first drive mechanism 30 drives the top frame 20 to rise in the height direction and move in the first direction, the second drive mechanism 40 can simultaneously drive the second frame 22 to move relative to the first frame 21 to unfold with the first frame 21 in the first direction.
[0160] In this embodiment, the user can adjust the first activity space 100a and the second activity space 100b according to actual usage needs. For example, when only the second activity space 100b needs to be used, the second drive mechanism 40 is activated while the first drive mechanism 30 is not activated. When only the first activity space 100a needs to be used, the first drive mechanism 30 is activated while the second drive mechanism 40 is not activated. When both the first activity space 100a and the second activity space 100b need to be used, such as in the scenario where it is installed in the rear bed 201 of a pickup truck 200, the first drive mechanism 30 and the second drive mechanism 40 can be activated simultaneously. In this way, the vehicle tent 100 is more flexible, easier to adapt to diverse usage scenarios, and improves the efficiency of unfolding and storage.
[0161] In some embodiments, the first tarpaulin 70 can be simultaneously unfolded or folded along with the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 under the driving action of the second drive mechanism 40.
[0162] In this application, the vehicle-mounted tent 100 can be fully automatically folded and stored through the first drive mechanism 30 and the second drive mechanism 40, saving time and effort and eliminating the need for manual unfolding and folding by the user. Simultaneously, the first tent fabric 70 can be automatically stored between the first frame 21 and the second frame 22, ensuring high storage reliability.
[0163] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The top frame 20 includes a middle plate 23, which is hinged to the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 respectively. In the unfolded state, the middle plate 23 connects the top frame 20 and the bottom frame 10 at their close ends along the first direction. In the folded state, the middle plate 23 extends along the height direction and encloses the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 to form a closed accommodating space to accommodate the first tarpaulin 70 and the second drive mechanism 40.
[0164] In this embodiment, the middle plate 23 connects the ends of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 that are close to each other. In the unfolded state, the middle plate 23 can increase the unfolded size of the top frame 20 along the first direction, thereby realizing space expansion. In the folded state, the middle plate 23 can form a closed accommodating space with the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 to accommodate the first tarpaulin 70 and the second drive mechanism 40. On the one hand, it realizes sealed folding, and on the other hand, it uses the accommodating space to accommodate the first tarpaulin 70 and the second drive mechanism 40. The overall size of the folded vehicle tent 100 is small.
[0165] For example, please refer to Figure 3 The first frame 21 and the second frame 22 can be constructed with a bottom plate plus a surrounding plate, so as to facilitate the storage of the first tarpaulin 70 and the second drive mechanism 40 when folded.
[0166] The specific construction of the second drive mechanism 40 is not limited.
[0167] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The top frame 20 also includes a middle frame 24. The second drive mechanism 40 includes a slider 41, a first connecting rod 42, and a second connecting rod 43. The slider 41 is slidably engaged with the middle frame 24. One end of the first connecting rod 42 is connected to the slider 41, and the other end is hinged to the first frame 21. One end of the second connecting rod 43 is connected to the slider 41, and the other end is hinged to the second frame 22. In the folded state, the middle frame 24 is housed in the accommodating space. In the unfolded state, the middle frame 24 is connected to the top side of the middle plate 23 to support the first tarpaulin 70.
[0168] The slider 41 can be a structure such as a slider used to generate sliding displacement. The middle frame 24 can include a horizontal frame 241 and two side frames 242 arranged along the second direction. The two ends of the horizontal frame 241 are respectively connected to the two side frames 242 to form an inverted U-shaped frame.
[0169] When the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 are laid out in the first direction, the two side frames 242 stand up and are in a vertical state, and the horizontal frame 241 is connected to the top of the two side frames 242. The slider 41 is slidably engaged with the middle frame 24. For example, a guide rod is provided inside the side frame 242, and the slider 41 is slidably disposed on the guide rod.
[0170] During the transition from the folded state to the unfolded state, the slider 41 slides downward, causing the first link 42 and the second link 43 to move. This drives the middle frame 24 to flip upward to a vertical position via the first link 42, and drives the second frame 22 to flip downward to be laid flat with the first frame 21 via the second link 43.
[0171] It is understandable that the middle plate 23 is hinged to the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 respectively, so that the middle plate 23 can switch between a flat state when unfolded and a vertical state when folded.
[0172] In this embodiment, the top frame 20 can be unfolded and folded in a relatively simple and convenient manner. When unfolding and folding, the middle frame 24 can also provide support for the first tarpaulin 70, thereby increasing the unfolding stability of the top frame 20 and the first tarpaulin 70.
[0173] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8At least one support rod 25 for supporting the first tarpaulin 70 may also be connected to the first frame 21 and / or the second frame 22.
[0174] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 7 to 10 The top side of the base frame 10 is open to form a first opening 10b. The base frame 10 has a receiving area 10a. The first opening 10b communicates with the receiving area 10a. In the folded state, the first frame 21 closes the first opening 10b.
[0175] In this embodiment, in the folded state, the base frame 10 protects the first drive mechanism 30 through the receiving area 10a, eliminating the need for additional storage space for the first drive mechanism 30. The first frame 21 closes the first opening 10b. Through the cooperation between the first frame 21 and the base frame 10, the top side of the base frame 10 is sealed, reducing the probability of rainwater, dust, etc., entering the base frame 10 through the first opening 10b in the folded state, thus increasing the folding seal. In the unfolded state, the first opening 10b provides clearance for the first drive mechanism 30, allowing the first drive mechanism 30 to unfold through the first opening 10b and drive the top frame 20 to move above the base frame 10. In this way, the first opening 10b and the receiving area 10a enable the storage and smooth movement of the first drive mechanism 30.
[0176] Please see Figure 9 and Figure 10 The underframe 10 has a second opening 10c on its bottom side. The underframe 10 is connected to the top side of the rear bed 201 of the vehicle. The underframe 10 communicates with the space of the rear bed 201 through the second opening 10c.
[0177] In this embodiment, the second opening 10c facilitates the connection between the first activity space 100a and the space of the vehicle's rear bed 201, thereby increasing the user's activity space and providing sufficient space to store items without affecting the user's operation due to the installation of the vehicle tent 100.
[0178] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 10 The underframe 10 is open on one side along a first direction to form an opening 10d, which communicates with the containment area 10a. For example, the opening 10d connects the containment area 10a with the external environment, allowing users to enter the rear compartment 201 from the rear of the pickup truck 200 via the opening 10d and then enter the second activity space 100b via the first activity space 100a, providing high convenience for entry and exit.
[0179] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6The vehicle-mounted tent 100 includes a baffle 90, which is connected to the first frame 21. In the unfolded state, the baffle 90 is located outside the first frame 21. In the folded state, the baffle 90 closes the opening 10d.
[0180] In the unfolded state, the baffle 90 avoids the opening by 10d; in the folded state, the baffle 90 closes the opening by 10d. This improves ease of access while also enhancing the sealing and aesthetics of the folded appearance.
[0181] For example, the baffle 90 is hinged to the first frame 21. In the unfolded state, the baffle 90 rises with the first frame 21 and does not occupy the unfolded area of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22, so that the two can remain stable. In the folded state, the baffle 90 abuts against the base frame 10 in the first direction to close the opening 10d.
[0182] Of course, the baffle 90 can also serve an anti-theft function. For example, please refer to... Figure 6 The base frame 10 has a power switch 91 at the opening 10d. The power switch 91 controls the signal transmission or power supply path between the remote control and the first drive mechanism 30 and the second drive mechanism 40. When the power switch 91 is turned on, the user can use the remote control to control the tent to unfold or fold. When the power switch 91 is turned off, the remote control cannot control the unfolding or folding of the tent. Therefore, in the folded state, the baffle 90 closes the opening 10d and also covers the power switch 91, making the power switch 91 difficult to find and reducing the risk of the vehicle tent 100 being stolen.
[0183] The specific structure of the base frame 10 is not limited.
[0184] For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 8 to 10 The base frame 10 includes a front side plate 14, a left side plate 12, and a right side plate 13. The bottom of the front side plate 14, the left side plate 12, and the right side plate 13 are all connected to a base plate 11. The interval between each base plate 11 defines a second opening 10c. The top side of the front side plate 14, the left side plate 12, and the right side plate 13 defines a first opening 10b. The front side plate 14, the left side plate 12, and the right side plate 13, together with their corresponding base plates 11, define a receiving area 10a. The rear side of the base frame 10 is open to form an opening 10d.
[0185] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The vehicle-mounted tent 100 also includes a second tent 80, one end of which is connected to the base frame 10 and the other end is connected to the bottom side of the top frame 20. In the unfolded state, the base frame 10, the second tent 80, and the top frame 20 together enclose the first activity space 100a. In the folded state, the second tent 80 is housed inside the base frame 10.
[0186] In this way, the first activity space 100a can be formed into a relatively enclosed space, which can block the external environment to a certain extent and reduce the chance of the user falling from the first activity space 100a.
[0187] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 The top frame 20 is provided with an entrance 20a, which extends through the top frame 20 along the height direction. In the unfolded state, the first activity space 100a is connected to the second activity space 100b through the entrance 20a.
[0188] The entrance / exit 20a can be located in the first frame 21, the second frame 22, or other structures of the top frame 20. There can be one or more entrances / exits 20a.
[0189] In this embodiment, the entrance / exit 20a serves as a bridge connecting the first activity space 100a and the second activity space 100b. Users can enter the second activity space 100b from the first activity space 100a via the entrance / exit 20a without having to enter from the outside, thus increasing convenience.
[0190] In some embodiments, the entrance / exit 20a is disposed in the first frame 21 and / or the second frame 22, and the first frame 21 and / or the second frame 22 are provided with a sealing plate 212, which can open or close the entrance / exit 20a.
[0191] For example, in the unfolded state, the first frame 21 is closer to the rear of the pickup truck 200, and the entrance 20a is located on the first frame 21, so that the user can enter the rear bed 201 of the pickup truck 200 and the first activity space 100a from the rear of the pickup truck 200, and then enter the second activity space 100b through the entrance 20a.
[0192] Of course, in some other embodiments, the entrance / exit 20a may also be located in the second frame 22.
[0193] The sealing plate 212 may be part of the first frame 21 and / or the second frame 22. The sealing plate 212 is formed as a movable structure, that is, when a user needs to enter the second activity space 100b, the sealing plate 212 can be lifted to open the entrance 20a, thereby entering the second activity space 100b. After entering the second activity space 100b, the sealing plate 212 is closed to close the entrance 20a, so as to reduce the risk of the user or his / her carried items falling from the entrance 20a and increase safety.
[0194] For example, please refer to Figure 8The first frame 21 includes a plate 211 and a sealing plate 212. The sealing plate 212 is rotatably connected to the plate 211. The sealing plate 212 opens and closes the entrance / exit 20a by rotating relative to the plate 211. When the entrance / exit 20a is closed, whether in a folded or unfolded state, the sealing plate 212 and the plate 211 are laid flat, with an included angle of 180° between them.
