[0020] Reference Figure 1 , refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the tarpaulin rack flipping and storage structure for yachts includes a tarpaulin rack assembly 100 and a flipping mechanism 200. The tarpaulin rack assembly 100 includes multiple tarpaulin racks A110. The flipping mechanism 200 includes a hydraulic cylinder 210 and a flipping lever 220. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 210 is connected to one end of the flipping lever 220, and the other end of the flipping lever 220 is rotatably connected to a sliding seat 230, which is slidably mounted on the upright of the tarpaulin rack A110. After folding and storage, the hydraulic cylinder 210 pulls the flipping lever 220, causing the tarpaulin rack A110 to flip to a sideways position for storage, avoiding the impact of the tarpaulin on the overall aesthetics when upright, and improving the overall user experience. When the tarpaulin needs to be used, simply push the flipping lever 220 with the hydraulic cylinder 210 to flip the tarpaulin rack A110 to an upright position, and the tarpaulin can be fully unfolded for use.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 , 2 Considering the large overall weight of the awning frame assembly 100 and the awning cloth mounted on the awning frame assembly 100, a gas spring 300 was specially installed to buffer the impact force generated when the awning frame A110 is flipped to the side-lying state.

[0022] Reference Figure 3The specific installation method of the gas spring 300 is as follows: its tail end is rotatably mounted on the rear end seat 310, and the piston rod of the gas spring 300 is rotatably connected to the canopy frame A110, thereby effectively buffering the impact force during the overturning process.

[0023] Reference Figure 4 During installation, a connecting seat 140 is fixed on the upright of the canopy frame A110. Two connecting lugs 141 are provided on the connecting seat 140, and the two connecting lugs 141 are rotatably connected to the piston rod of the gas spring 300.

[0024] Reference Figure 9 As shown, the canopy frame assembly 100 also includes a crossbar 120, which is installed on the upright of the adjacent canopy frame A110. The canopy frame A110 adopts a multi-bar design. The upper end of the crossbar 120 is rotatably connected to the canopy frame A110, while the lower end 1212 is rotatably equipped with a lifting seat 130. The lifting seat 130 is slidably mounted on the upright of the canopy frame A110 and connected to the telescopic drive component.

[0025] During operation, when the crossbar 120 is folded, the canopy frame A110 is retracted. Conversely, when the crossbar 120 is unfolded, it causes the canopy frame A110 to unfold as well.

[0026] Reference Figure 9 As shown, the crossbar 120 consists of two sub-bars 121, which are rotatably connected to each other during installation. Each sub-bar 121 includes an upper end 1211 and a lower end 1212. The upper end 1211 is rotatably connected to the upright of the canopy frame A110, while the lower end 1212 is rotatably mounted on the lifting seat 130. The two upper ends 1211 rotatably connected to the upright of the same canopy frame A110 are connected to each other, and the two lower ends 1212 rotatably connected to the same lifting seat 130 are also connected to each other, further enhancing the overall integrity and stability of the structure.

[0027] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the flipping mechanism 200 also includes a folding plate 270 and a base plate 240; during specific installation, the bottom end of the canopy frame A110 is fixed to the top surface of the folding plate 270, and the folding plate 270 and the base plate 240 are connected by hinges.

[0028] The tail end of the hydraulic cylinder 210 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 250. The mounting base 250 and the rear end seat 310 are fixed on the base plate 240. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 210 is connected to one end of the tilting lever 220. The other end of the tilting lever 220 is rotatably connected to the sliding seat 230. The sliding seat 230 is slidably mounted on the canopy frame A110. The tilting lever 220 is rotatably mounted on the fixed seat 260. The base plate 240 and the fixed seat 260 are both fixed to the hull of the yacht.

[0029] Reference Figure 4As shown, the sliding seat 230 includes a side plate 231, rollers 232, and a connecting shaft 233. The side plate 231 consists of two pieces, with at least two rollers 232 rotatably mounted between the two side plates 231. This allows the upright of the canopy frame A110 to be sandwiched between the two rollers 232, and the two rollers 232 roll up and down along the upright of the canopy frame A110. The connecting shaft 233 is inserted into the two side plates 231 and is rotatably connected to the upper end 1211 of the flip lever 220, thereby connecting the flip lever 220 and the sliding seat 230.

[0030] In this embodiment, four rollers 232 are rotatably installed between the two side plates 231, and two rollers 232 roll on each side of the upright of the canopy frame A110.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, the flip lever 220 is 7-shaped and has a bend 221. The bend 221 is rotatably mounted on the fixed base 260, so that when the hydraulic cylinder 210 pushes and pulls the flip lever 220, the flip lever 220 rotates around the bend 221 as the axis, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the flipping process.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, a track groove 280 is fixed on the folding plate 270. A pulley 2100 is slidably installed in the track groove 280 and fixed to the bottom of the canopy frame A110. During the process of the canopy frame A110 moving and retracting, the pulley 2100 slides into the track groove 280 and is confined within it. This ensures that the canopy frame A110 remains stably stacked during the flipping and retraction process, and that the stacked canopy frame A110 does not fall apart due to external forces such as shaking.

[0033] Track groove 280 is also equipped with track groove 290, which is fixed to the hull of the yacht. When the canopy frame A110 is flipped to the upright position, track groove 280 and track groove 290 form a complete track, ensuring that pulley 2100 can slide smoothly within track groove 280 and track groove 290 when the canopy frame A110 is unfolded. At the same time, when the canopy frame A110 is retracted, pulley 2100 can slide from track groove 290 into track groove 280, further improving the stability and reliability of the entire system.

[0034] Reference Figure 10As shown, the automatically retractable yacht tarpaulin includes a tarpaulin, a second tarpaulin frame assembly 400, and a flipping mechanism. The tarpaulin includes a first tarpaulin section and a second tarpaulin section connected to the first tarpaulin section. The second tarpaulin frame assembly 400 includes multiple tarpaulin frames B410, the tail ends of which are rotatably mounted on a rear end seat 310. The flipping and retracting mechanism adopts the above-mentioned flipping and retracting structure, with the first tarpaulin section supported and installed on the first tarpaulin frame assembly 100, and the second tarpaulin section supported and installed on the second tarpaulin frame assembly 400.

[0035] As the flipping and storage mechanism flips the awning frame assembly 100 to an upright position, awning section 1 pulls open awning section 2, and multiple awning frames B410 unfold along with awning section 2. When the flipping and storage mechanism flips the first tarpaulin unit 100 to the side-tilted position, it releases the pull of the second tarpaulin unit 1 on the second tarpaulin unit, allowing the second tarpaulin unit 2 to fold up and retract at the same time as it is retracted; thus achieving automatic storage of the tarpaulin and improving the convenience of use.
