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-mounted tents adopt a double-layer foldable design to increase activity space. However, after the vehicle-mounted tent is unfolded, a vehicle-mounted ladder needs to be set up. One end of the vehicle-mounted ladder is supported on the ground, and the other end is connected to the upper space so that users can enter the upper space. This increases the structural complexity of the vehicle-mounted tent, and the vehicle-mounted ladder needs to be manually unfolded and folded, which is time-consuming and laborious and affects the user's comfort. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the structure of the vehicle-mounted tent. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, embodiments of this application aim to provide a vehicle-mounted tent with a simple structure that forms a ladder for user use while achieving lifting and unfolding.
[0005] This application provides a vehicle-mounted tent, including:
[0006] The underframe is used to connect to the vehicle;
[0007] The top frame is equipped with entrances and exits;
[0008] A first drive mechanism is used to drive the top frame to produce at least a vertical displacement relative to the base frame above the base frame;
[0009] The first drive mechanism includes a first support rod, a second support rod, and at least one crossbar. The two ends of the first support rod are connected to the base frame and the top frame. The two ends of the second support rod are connected to the base frame and the top frame. One end of the crossbar is connected to the first support rod, and the other end of the crossbar is connected to the second support rod.
[0010] The vehicle-mounted tent has a folded state and an unfolded state;
[0011] In the folded state, the top frame covers the bottom frame, and the first drive mechanism is folded inside the bottom frame;
[0012] In the unfolded state, the top frame and the bottom frame form a first movable space along the height direction. The top frame is supported above the first support rod and the second support rod. A second movable space is formed above the top frame. The first support rod, the second support rod, and the at least one crossbar constitute a ladder so that the user can enter the second movable space from the entrance via the ladder.
[0013] In some implementations, the crossbar is fixedly connected to the first support rod and the second support rod, respectively.
[0014] In some implementations, the first support rod and the second support rod are capable of extending and retracting along the height direction to drive the top frame to rise and fall vertically along the height direction;
[0015] Alternatively, one end of the first support rod and one end of the second support rod are rotatably connected to the base frame, and the other ends of the first support rod and the second support rod are connected to the top frame, so that the first support rod and the second support rod can drive the top frame to rotate up and down.
[0016] In the folded state, the first support rod and the second support rod extend along the first direction, and the crossbar extends along the second direction;
[0017] In the unfolded state, the first support rod and the second support rod flip upward to extend along the height direction, wherein the first direction, the second direction, and the height direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0018] In some implementations, the crossbar is hinged to the first support rod and the second support rod, respectively.
[0019] In some implementations, one end of the first support rod and one end of the second support rod are respectively hinged to the base frame, and the other end of the first support rod and the other end of the second support rod are respectively hinged to the top frame;
[0020] The first driving mechanism includes a driving rod, one end of which is hinged to the base frame and the other end of which is hinged to the first support rod, so as to drive the first support rod and the second support rod to cause the top frame to generate a lifting displacement along the height direction and a displacement along the first direction.
[0021] In some embodiments, the drive rod is a telescopic rod, and the connection position between the drive rod and the first support rod is located between the connection position between the first support rod and the base frame and the connection position between the first support rod and the top frame;
[0022] And / or, the number of the first drive mechanisms is two, and in the folded state and the unfolded state, the two first drive mechanisms are located on opposite sides of the base frame along the second direction, wherein the first direction, the second direction, and the height direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0023] In some implementations, the vehicle-mounted tent further includes a support member, one end of which is connected to the base frame or the top frame and is movable relative to the base frame or the top frame. In the unfolded state, the support member is supported on the bottom of the top frame, and a second support rod is located between the support member and the first support rod.
[0024] In some implementations, the support member is located outside the base frame, with one end hinged to the top frame and the other end designed to be separably engaged with the ground.
[0025] In some implementations, one end of the support member is hinged to the base frame, and the other end is detachably engaged with the top frame. In the folded state, the support member is housed within the base frame. In the unfolded state, the first support rod, the second support rod, and the support member are arranged sequentially along a first direction, which is parallel to the front-rear direction of the vehicle.
[0026] In some implementations, the vehicle-mounted tent includes a linkage assembly that connects the first drive mechanism and the support member, so that the support member moves synchronously with the first drive mechanism.
[0027] In some implementations, the top frame includes a first frame and a second frame;
[0028] In the folded state, the second frame, the first frame, and the base frame are stacked along the height direction;
[0029] In the unfolded state, the second frame and the first frame are laid flat along a first direction, which is perpendicular to the height direction.
[0030] In some implementations, the vehicle-mounted tent includes a second drive mechanism that is independent of the first drive mechanism. The first support rod and the second support rod are respectively connected to the first frame and are always separate from the second frame. One end of the second drive mechanism is hinged to the first frame and the other end is hinged to the second frame. The second drive mechanism can drive the second frame to rotate up and down relative to the first frame along the height direction.
[0031] In some embodiments, the vehicle-mounted tent includes a first tent fabric attached 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.
[0032] 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.
[0033] 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.
[0034] 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 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.
[0035] 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, providing users with sufficient operating space and increasing user comfort. It also accommodates the obstacle avoidance needs of vehicles such as pickup trucks. The first drive mechanism not only drives the top frame to move up and down to expand the space along the height direction, but the first and second support rods also provide support for the top frame, increasing deployment stability. Furthermore, the first and second support rods and the crossbars can also form a ladder, allowing users to pass between the first and second activity spaces via the entrance / exit without the need for additional ladders. The overall structure of the vehicle-mounted tent is simpler, and it also facilitates user safety. Attached Figure Description

[0053] Please see Figures 1 to 13 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] The vehicle-mounted tent 100 includes a base frame 10, a top frame 20, and a first drive mechanism 30.
[0058] The underframe 10 is used for connection to a vehicle. That is, 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 top frame 20 and its load above the underframe 10. For example, when the vehicle is a pickup truck 200, the underframe 10 can be connected to the rear bed 201 of the vehicle.
[0059] Please see Figure 8 The top frame 20 is provided with an entrance / exit 20a. Exemplarily, the entrance / exit 20a extends through the top frame 20 along the height direction. The number of entrances / exits 20a can be one or more.
[0060] The first drive mechanism 30 is used to drive the top frame 20 to move vertically relative to the base frame 10 above the base frame 10, at least in the height direction. That is, the first drive mechanism 30 can drive the top frame 20 to move vertically above the base frame 10, thereby changing the height of the top frame 20 relative to the vehicle and realizing the expansion of space in the height direction.
[0061] It should be noted that the first drive mechanism 30 may only drive the top frame 20 to move up and down in the height direction, or it may drive the top frame 20 to move up and down in the height direction while also causing the top frame 20 to generate other displacements. For example, it may generate displacement in the first direction, but this is not limited here.
[0062] Please see Figure 7and Figure 8 The first drive mechanism 30 includes a first support rod 31, a second support rod 32 and at least one crossbar 34. The two ends of the first support rod 31 are connected to the base frame 10 and the top frame 20. The two ends of the second support rod 32 are connected to the base frame 10 and the top frame 20. One end of the crossbar 34 is connected to the first support rod 31 and the other end of the crossbar 34 is connected to the second support rod 32.
[0063] The connection method between the first support rod 31, the second support rod 32 and the base frame 10 and the top frame 20 is not limited. It can be a fixed connection or a movable connection, as long as it can realize the motion conversion.
[0064] The crossbar 34 connects the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32. Here, the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 may not be connected, that is, they are set apart, and the crossbar 34 connects between the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32. The first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 are integrated together by the crossbar 34. Alternatively, the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 may be connected but not overlapped, and the crossbar 34 connects between the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32. There are no restrictions here.
[0065] The number of crossbars 34 can be one or more, and there is no restriction here.
[0066] The vehicle-mounted tent 100 has a folded state and an unfolded state.
[0067] In the folded state, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The top frame 20 is installed above the base frame 10. That is, the top frame 20 and the base frame 10 are stacked along the height direction, and at this time, the top frame 20 serves as the top cover of the base frame 10.
[0068] It should be noted that the top frame 20 is placed on top of the base frame 10. The top frame 20 and the base frame 10 can be set to abut against each other, or there can be a gap between them along the height direction, but the gap is much smaller than the gap in the unfolded state. Of course, it is also allowed that the top frame 20 and the base frame 10 have a small overlap in the height direction.
[0069] 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.
[0070] The first drive mechanism 30 is folded inside the base frame 10. The first drive mechanism 30 can also be unfolded or folded. Folding the first drive mechanism 30 inside the base frame 10 will not affect the folding of the top frame 20 and the base frame 10 along the height direction, and no additional storage space is required, making the vehicle tent 100 small in size and aesthetically pleasing after folding.
[0071] In the expanded state, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The top frame 20 and the base frame 10 form a first activity space 100a along the height direction. The top frame 20 is supported above the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32. At least a portion of the first tarpaulin 70 is spread above the top frame 20 to form a second activity space 100b. The first support rod 31, the second support rod 32, and at least one crossbar 34 constitute a ladder so that the user can enter the second activity space 100b from the entrance 20a via the ladder.
[0072] During the transition from the folded to the unfolded state, the top frame 20 can undergo a vertical displacement relative to the base frame 10, gradually moving away from the base frame 10 and forming a first activity 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, thus the first activity space 100a is located above the rear bed 201. In this way, without affecting the usable space of the rear bed 201 of the vehicle, the formation of the first activity space 100a can further increase the user's usable space, making it convenient for the user to place items, etc. In other words, the first activity space 100a achieves spatial expansion along the vertical direction. A second activity space 100b is formed above the top frame 20, and both the first activity space 100a and the second activity space 100b can be used for user activities.
[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 2 The 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, and together with the top frame 20, it encloses a second activity space 100b. 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] 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.
[0078] The first support rod 31, the second support rod 32, and at least one crossbar 34 constitute a ladder. This means that the structure formed by the first support rod 31, the second support rod 32, and at least one crossbar 34 is similar to or the same as a ladder, or can serve as a means for users to climb up and down. That is, in the unfolded state, the crossbar 34 extends approximately horizontally, for example, along the first or second direction described below.
[0079] For example, when the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 are spaced apart and the number of crossbars 34 is one, the shape formed by the first support rod 31, the second support rod 32 and the crossbar 34 in the unfolded state is "H".
[0080] In other embodiments, when the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 are connected, the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 can be in a scissor shape, i.e., X-shaped, and the crossbar 34 is connected above and / or below the connection point of the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32. The crossbar 34 can extend and retract along its extension direction to adapt to the movement of the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32.
[0081] The entrance / exit 20a is used to connect the first activity space 100a and the second activity space 100b. Users can freely pass between the first activity space 100a and the second activity space 100b through the entrance / exit 20a via a ladder composed of the first support rod 31, the second support rod 32 and the crossbar 34, which increases the convenience of use. Users can easily choose to use the first activity space 100a or the second activity space 100b without the need to set up a climbing ladder outside the second activity space 100b.
[0082] Understandably, in related technologies, setting up a ladder outside the second activity space increases the structural complexity of the vehicle-mounted tent. Furthermore, since the first and second activity spaces are not connected, if one needs to enter the first activity space from the second activity space, one must first descend to the ground via the ladder and then climb into the first activity space from the vehicle, which is highly complex and does not guarantee user safety.
[0083] The vehicle-mounted tent 100 of 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, providing users with sufficient operating space and increasing user comfort. It also accommodates the obstacle avoidance needs of vehicles such as pickup trucks 200. The first drive mechanism 30 not only drives the top frame 20 to move up and down to expand the space along the height direction, but the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 also provide support for the top frame 20, increasing deployment stability. Furthermore, the first support rod 31, the second support rod 32, and the crossbar 34 can also form a ladder, allowing users to pass between the first activity space 100a and the second activity space 100b via the entrance 20a without the need for additional ladders. This simplifies the overall structure of the vehicle-mounted tent 100 and also ensures user safety.
[0084] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 The crossbar 34 is fixedly connected to the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 respectively. That is to say, there is no relative movement between the crossbar 34 and the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32. The fixed connection method can be welding, threaded connection, etc., and there is no restriction here.
[0085] In this embodiment, the crossbar 34 can integrate the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 and increase the overall structural strength so as to provide stable support for the top frame 20.
[0086] For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 11 The first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 can extend and retract along the height direction to drive the top frame 20 to rise and fall vertically along the height direction.
[0087] In this embodiment, the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 drive the top frame 20 to rise and fall along the height direction by extending and retracting along the height direction. The first drive mechanism 30 only drives the top frame 20 to produce vertical displacement. In this case, the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 extend upward to raise the top frame 20, and retract downward to lower the top frame 20 to overlap with the base frame 10 along the height direction. The first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 are set along the height direction in both the folded and unfolded states, making the movement simple and convenient.
[0088] The power source for the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc., and there are no restrictions here.
[0089] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 12 One end of the first support rod 31 and one end of the second support rod 32 are rotatably connected to the base frame 10, and the other ends of the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 are connected to the top frame 20. The first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 can drive the top frame 20 to rotate up and down.
[0090] In the folded state, the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 extend along the first direction, and the crossbar 34 extends along the second direction. In the unfolded state, the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 flip upwards to extend along the height direction, wherein the first direction, the second direction, and the height direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0091] For example, when the first direction is the front-back direction, the second direction can be the left-right direction.
[0092] Specifically, during the transition from the folded state to the unfolded state, the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 flip upwards, from extending in the first direction to extending along the height direction, causing the top frame 20 to flip upwards and displace in the first direction.
[0093] In this embodiment, the top frame 20 is rotated up and down by the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 to achieve the lifting and lowering of the top frame 20 along the height direction. At the same time, the top frame 20 can also be displaced along the first direction, which makes it easier to adjust the center of gravity of the top frame 20 during deployment, so that the projection of the center of gravity of the top frame 20 along the height direction can fall into the projection of the base frame 10, thereby increasing the stability of deployment.
[0094] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The crossbar 34 is hinged to the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 respectively.
[0095] In this embodiment, the crossbar 34 is movably connected to the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32, which allows the crossbar 34 to move relative to the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32. This facilitates the crossbar 34 to adapt to the movement of the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32, increases the smoothness of movement, reduces the chance of jamming, and also facilitates folding and storage through the movement of the crossbar 34.
[0096] For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8One end of the first support rod 31 and one end of the second support rod 32 are respectively hinged to the base frame 10, and the other end of the first support rod 31 and the other end of the second support rod 32 are respectively hinged to the top frame 20.
[0097] The first drive mechanism 30 includes a drive rod 33, one end of which is hinged to the base frame 10 and the other end is hinged to the first support rod 31, so as to drive the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 to drive the top frame 20 to generate a lifting displacement along the height direction and a displacement along the first direction.
[0098] 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, the first frame 21, and the crossbar 34 form a multi-link mechanism, which has a simple movement mode, high stability, and low maintenance cost. The crossbar 34 is hinged to the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 respectively, transmitting the driving force received by the first support rod 31 to the second support rod 32 to realize the overall movement.
[0099] The power source for the drive rod 33 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, motor, or other structure, and there are no restrictions here.
[0100] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 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.
[0101] It is understandable that the telescopic rod can be an electric push rod, a pneumatic push rod, or a hydraulic push rod, etc.
[0102] 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.
[0103] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 There are two first drive mechanisms 30. In the folded and unfolded states, the two first drive mechanisms 30 are located on opposite sides of the base frame 10 along the second direction.
[0104] In other words, there are two drive rods 33, two first support rods 31, and two second support rods 32. In the folded state, the two sets of drive rods 33, first support rods 31, and second support rods 32 rotate downwards and in the first direction to fold into the base frame 10 on opposite sides along the second direction. In the unfolded state, the two sets of drive rods 33, first support rods 31, and second support rods 32 rotate upwards and in the first direction to unfold onto the base frame 10 on opposite sides along the second direction. Thus, during unfolding and folding, the two sets of first drive mechanisms 30 do not interfere with each other and can effectively support the top frame 20, resulting in smooth movement. Furthermore, the crossbar 34 does not occupy excessive storage space. Each set of first drive mechanisms 30 occupies a small storage space, which facilitates stable movement and unfolding support while occupying a small folding space.
[0105] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 The vehicle-mounted tent 100 also includes a support member 50, one end of which is connected to the base frame 10 or the top frame 20 and can move relative to the base frame 10 or the top frame 20. In the unfolded state, the support member 50 is supported on the bottom of the top frame 20, and the second support rod 32 is located between the support member 50 and the first support rod 31.
[0106] 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.
[0107] It should be noted that the second support rod 32 is located between the support member 50 and the first support rod 31. The support member 50 can be located inside or outside the base frame 10, and there is no restriction here.
[0108] It is understandable that the support member 50 can be independent of the first drive mechanism 30. That is, there is no connection between the support member 50 and the first drive mechanism 30, and they do not interfere with each other. When the first drive mechanism 30 moves, the support member 50 may or may not move. This facilitates greater flexibility in the arrangement of the support member 50. The support member 50 can be arranged inside or outside the base frame 10, and no connecting structure is needed between the support member 50 and the first drive mechanism 30, allowing for sufficient arrangement space.
[0109] Of course, in other embodiments, the support member 50 may also be connected to the first drive mechanism 30 and move synchronously with the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 under the drive of the first drive mechanism 30.
[0110] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 13 The support member 50 is located outside the base frame 10. One end of the support member 50 is hinged to the top frame 20, and the other end is used to be separably engaged with the ground.
[0111] In this embodiment, the support member 50 is located outside the base frame 10, that is, it does not occupy the space inside the base frame 10 and reduces the probability of interference with the first drive mechanism 30. The top end of the support member 50 can be hinged to the end of the top frame 20 away from the first support rod 31, and the bottom end is supported on the ground. In this way, the support member 50 can better reduce the cantilever size of the top frame 20, provide reliable support for the top frame 20, and increase the deployment stability of the vehicle tent 100.
[0112] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 One end of the support member 50 is hinged to the base frame 10, and the other end is detachably abutted against the top frame 20. In the folded state, the support member 50 is housed inside the base frame 10. In the unfolded state, the first support rod 31, the second support rod 32, and the support member 50 are arranged sequentially along a first direction, which is parallel to the front-rear direction of the vehicle.
[0113] In this embodiment, the support member 50 is housed within the base frame 10. In the folded state, no additional storage space is required, resulting in a small overall folded size and improved aesthetics after folding. In the unfolded state, the second support rod 32 is located between the first support rod 31 and the support member 50, facilitating the first support rod 31, the second support rod 32, and the support member 50 to sequentially support the top frame 20 along the first direction, thereby increasing support stability.
[0114] In this embodiment, the support member 50 may be connected to the first drive mechanism 30 or may not be connected and may be driven in other ways; no restrictions are imposed here.
[0115] For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The vehicle-mounted tent 100 includes a linkage component 60, which connects the first drive mechanism 30 and the support member 50 so that the support member 50 moves synchronously with the first drive mechanism 30.
[0116] In other words, in this embodiment, the first drive mechanism 30 and the support member 50 form a linked whole. Under the action of the drive rod 33, the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 move, and drive 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, the second support rod 32 and the support member 50 can be unfolded and folded synchronously, which is more efficient.
[0117] The linkage component 60 can be a connection between the support member 50 and the first support rod 31, or it can be a connection between the support member 50 and the second support rod 32. For example, the linkage component 60 is connected to the second support rod 32 to reduce the size of the linkage component 60 along the first direction.
[0118] The specific construction of the linkage component 60 is not limited; for example, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 9 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.
[0119] The specific structure of the support member 50 is not limited.
[0120] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 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 the support rod 51 is hinged to the base frame 10. In the folded state, the support rod 51 extends along a first direction. In the unfolded state, the support rod 51 extends along the height direction.
[0121] For example, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 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, and the two support rods 51 move synchronously.
[0122] 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 top frame 20 from the opposite sides in the second direction, thereby increasing the deployment stability of the top frame 20.
[0123] The specific structure of the top frame 20 is not limited; for some embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 4 to 7 The top frame 20 includes a first frame 21 and a second frame 22. The first frame 21 and the second frame 22 can be directly connected or connected through an intermediate structure, which is not limited here.
[0124] The entrance / exit 20a can be located in the first frame 21, or in the second frame 22, or in other structures of the top frame 20.
[0125] In the folded state, the second frame 22, the first frame 21, and the base frame 10 are stacked sequentially along the height direction. That is, 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, and the top frame 20 is then stacked on top of the base frame 10.
[0126] In the unfolded state, the second frame 22 and the first frame 21 are laid flat along the first direction. That is, in the unfolded state, the first frame 21 changes from a folded state with the second frame 22 to a horizontally unfolded state with the first frame 21 and the second frame 22, with an angle of 180° or close to 180° (allowing for certain assembly and manufacturing errors). This achieves the unfolding of the top frame 20 along the first direction. The method of unfolding the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 is not limited; it can be that either the first frame 21 or the second frame 22 moves, or both the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 move. The movement of the first frame 21 and / or the second frame 22 can be flipping, sliding, or other methods, which are not limited here. For example, the second frame 22 moves relative to the first frame 21 to a state where it is folded or laid flat with the first frame 21.
[0127] 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 is folded between the first frame 21 and the second frame 22, thereby making the overall storage volume of the vehicle tent 100 smaller.
[0128] The first direction is perpendicular to the height direction. For example, the first direction is the front-to-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 activity 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-to-back direction, so that the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 have sufficient space to unfold.
[0129] It is understood that the unfolding of the first activity space 100a and the second activity space 100b can be carried out simultaneously or separately. The unfolding and folding of the first tarpaulin 70, the first frame 21, and the second frame 22 can be carried out simultaneously or separately. For example, 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, without requiring manual unfolding and folding by the user, saving time and effort and improving the user experience.
[0130] In some embodiments, in the unfolded state, please refer to... Figure 7 The first frame 21 and the second frame 22 are symmetrical about the first reference plane E. Exemplarily, they are mirror symmetrical. Thus, the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 have the same dimensions, facilitating manufacturing and folding, and increasing unfolding reliability.
[0131] 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.
[0132] In the orthographic projection of a plane perpendicular to the height direction, the orthographic projection of the first reference plane E can fall within the projection range of the base frame 10, or it can be located outside one side of the base frame 10 along the first direction.
[0133] In some embodiments, in the unfolded state, please refer to... Figures 7 to 9 The first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 are spaced apart along the first direction. That is, the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 are spaced apart along the unfolding direction of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22. In this way, the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 can provide support to the top frame 20 at different positions along the first direction, thereby increasing the unfolding stability of the top frame 20.
[0134] It is understood that the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 can both support the first frame 21, or one can support the first frame 21 and the other supports the second frame 22; no limitation is made here. For example, the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 support the first frame 21, and the support member 50 supports the second frame 22.
[0135] In some embodiments, in the folded state, please refer to... Figure 1 The top frame 20 and the bottom frame 10 are aligned horizontally along the height direction. That is to say, in the folded state, the second frame 22, the first frame 21, and the bottom frame 10 are aligned horizontally along the height direction.
[0136] In this embodiment, in the orthographic projection of a plane perpendicular to the height direction, the outer contour projection of the top frame 20 basically coincides with the outer contour projection of the base frame 10. The dimensions of the top frame 20 in the folded state along the first and second directions are basically the same as those of the base frame 10. Thus, in the folded state, the vehicle-mounted 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, facilitating the next unfolding.
[0137] In some embodiments, in the unfolded state, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 5In the orthographic projection of the 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. That is, the opposite two edges of the top frame 20 along the first direction extend beyond the opposite two edges of the base frame 10 along the first direction. In this way, the unfolded area can be increased, and the projection of the center of gravity of the unfolded top frame 20 can fall within the range defined by the base frame 10, 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.
[0138] It is understandable that in the embodiment where the top frame 20 and the bottom frame 10 are aligned along the height direction in the folded state, the first frame 21 may simultaneously generate displacement along the first direction during the rising process so that the parts of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 both extend beyond the bottom frame 10 after unfolding. Alternatively, the first frame 21 may generate displacement along the first direction first and then rise. Of course, the first frame 21 may also rise first and then generate displacement along the first direction, etc., and there are no restrictions here.
[0139] In some embodiments, the first drive mechanism 30 is connected to the first frame 21, and can drive the first frame 21 to generate a displacement along the height direction and a displacement along a first direction relative to the top of the base frame 10. The second frame 22 is always separately disposed from the first drive mechanism 30.
[0140] In this embodiment, the first drive mechanism 30 can not only make the first frame 21 move up and down in the height direction, but also make the first frame 21 move linearly in the first direction. This makes it easier to balance the overall center of gravity of the top frame 20 when the second frame 22 moves relative to the first frame 21.
[0141] Understandably, when the first frame only moves up and down in the height direction, after the second frame is deployed, at least part of the second frame extends beyond the base frame in the first direction. The cantilever size of the top frame at the second frame is large, and the overall center of gravity of the top frame will fall outside the base frame in the first direction, affecting the deployment stability of the top frame.
[0142] In this embodiment, the first driving mechanism 30 drives the first frame 21 to generate a linear displacement in the first direction, which can make the first frame 21 avoid part of the space above the base frame 10, so that the second frame 22 can be partially unfolded and cover the base frame 10 directly above it, reducing the cantilever size of the top frame 20 at the second frame 22, balancing the overall center of gravity of the top frame 20, and allowing the center of gravity of the top frame 20 to fall within the range defined by the base frame 10, for example, as close as possible to the middle area of the base frame 10 along the first direction, thereby increasing the unfolding stability.
[0143] When the first direction is parallel to the vehicle's front-to-back direction, the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 unfold in the front-to-back direction. The first frame 21 moves in the front-to-back direction during lifting and lowering to adapt to the installation space and increase overall flexibility. In the usage scenario of the pickup truck 200, through the movement of the first frame 21, the overall structure of the vehicle tent 100 after the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 are unfolded will almost not exceed the vehicle, resulting in high overall stability.
[0144] For example, the first drive mechanism 30 drives the first frame 21 to rise in the height direction and move rearward in the first direction. The first frame 21 is located entirely above the base frame 10, partially above the base frame 10, and partially behind the base frame 10, thereby 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 partially in front of the base frame 10.
[0145] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 8 The vehicle-mounted tent 100 includes a second drive mechanism 40, which is independent of the first drive mechanism 30. 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 motion, the other may not be in motion or may be in motion.
[0146] 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.
[0147] 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.
[0148] One end of the second drive mechanism 40 is hinged to the first frame 21, and the other end is hinged to the second frame 22. The second drive mechanism 40 can drive the second frame 22 to flip up and down relative to the first frame 21 along the height direction. In this embodiment, the flipping method is convenient to implement, has good unfolding stability, and at the same time, facilitates the formation of a relatively closed space between the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 when folded.
[0149] The first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 are respectively connected to the first frame 21 and are always separate from the second frame 22. This facilitates the unfolding of the second frame 22 relative to the first frame 21, ensuring that the unfolding of the second frame 22 is not affected and increasing the overall smoothness of movement.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] For example, the structure of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 can be 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 At 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.
[0162] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2The 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.
[0163] 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 prevent the user from falling from the first activity space 100a to a certain extent.
[0164] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 The entrance / exit 20a is located in the first frame 21. The first frame 21 includes a sealing plate 212 and a plate 211. The first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 are connected to the bottom of the plate 211. The sealing plate 212 is movably connected to the plate 211 to open or close the entrance / exit 20a.
[0165] The sealing panel 212 opens and closes the entrance / exit 20a by rotating relative to the panel 211. When the entrance / exit 20a is closed, whether folded or unfolded, the sealing panel 212 and the panel 211 are laid flat, with an angle of 180° between them. When a user needs to enter the second activity space 100b, they can open the entrance / exit 20a by lifting the sealing panel 212, and then close the entrance / exit 20a again after entering the second activity space 100b. This reduces the risk of the user or their belongings falling from the entrance / exit 20a, increasing safety.
[0166] For example, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first drive mechanism 30 drives the first frame 21 to rise in the height direction and move to the rear in the first direction. The first frame 21 is located entirely above the base frame 10, partially above the base frame 10, and partially behind the base frame 10, thereby 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 partially in front of the base frame 10.
[0167] For some examples, 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 drive mechanism 30 is received in the receiving area 10a. The first frame 21 closes the first opening 10b. In the unfolded state, the first drive mechanism 30 drives the top frame 20 to move upwards from the base frame 10 through the first opening 10b.
[0168] 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, and the cooperation between the first frame 21 and the base frame 10 achieves the sealing of the top side of the base frame 10, 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. The first drive mechanism 30 unfolds through the first opening 10b and drives the top frame 20 to move above the base frame 10. The first opening 10b and the receiving area 10a enable the storage and smooth movement of the first drive mechanism 30.
[0169] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 A second opening 10c is formed on the bottom side of the underframe 10. 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 of the vehicle through the second opening 10c.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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 is formed on the rear side, connecting the containment area 10a with the external environment. Users can enter the space of the rear bed 201 and the first activity space 100a from the rear of the pickup truck 200 through the opening 10d, and then enter the second activity space 100b through the first activity space 100a, which provides high convenience for entry and exit.
[0172] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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 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 unfold or fold the vehicle tent 100. 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 can cover the power switch 91 while closing the opening 10d, making the power switch 91 difficult to find and reducing the risk of the vehicle tent 100 being stolen.
[0176] The specific structure of the base frame 10 is not limited.
[0177] 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.
