Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of rooftop tent panels, specifically relating to a rooftop tent with a waterproof connection structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous growth of private car ownership, self-driving tours have become one of the mainstream travel methods. Their advantages lie in avoiding ground moisture and insect infestations through their off-ground design, and the interior height after unfolding typically reaches 1.4 meters, with a sleeping area exceeding 2.4 square meters, significantly improving camping comfort. However, existing products still face technical bottlenecks in waterproofing and structural reliability, hindering further market expansion.

[0003] Traditional rotating folding rooftop tents use a single hinge to connect two folding panels, with the tent fabric folded into the gap between the panels. In this design, when folded, rainwater can easily seep into the interior through the panel seams. The seeping moisture cannot escape in the enclosed space, leading to an increased rate of mold growth on the tent fabric and faster corrosion of the metal hinge. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Technical problems to be solved This invention addresses the aforementioned deficiencies in existing technologies by proposing a rooftop tent with a waterproof connection structure. Two base plates are joined together using a connecting mechanism, and a waterproof seal prevents rainwater from entering the tent through the connection point, thus achieving a waterproof seal. This solves the problem of traditional rotating folding rooftop tents, which use a single hinge to connect two folding panels. When the tent fabric is folded into the gap between the panels, rainwater easily seeps into the interior through the panel seams in the folded state. The infiltrated water cannot drain out in the sealed space, leading to increased mold growth on the tent fabric and accelerated corrosion of the metal hinge.

[0005] Technical solution To solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a rooftop tent with a waterproof connection structure, including a foldable tent base, a tent fabric, and a tent support set on the tent base for supporting the tent fabric. The tent base includes two bases and connecting plates that are hinged to the two bases respectively; A waterproof seal is also provided between the base and the connecting plate; In the unfolded state, the base and connecting plate are on the same plane or nearly on the same plane, and the tent frame supports the tent fabric. In the folded state, the base and connecting plate are in a vertical or nearly vertical position, and the tent frame and tent fabric are stored in the space formed by the two bases and connecting plates. The adjacent side edges of the base and the connecting plate are respectively provided with a first connecting part and a second connecting part for hinge connection; The waterproof seal has fixing parts on both sides, which are connected to the seat and the connecting plate respectively. The waterproof seal is used for waterproof sealing at the hinge of the first connecting part and the second connecting part.

[0006] In some embodiments, the tent frame includes a first tent frame, a second tent frame, and a third tent frame respectively located on two bases and a connecting plate; The first, second, and third tent supports all include a support base and a support rod hinged to the support base, which supports the tent fabric.

[0007] In some embodiments, the fixing part has a cylindrical or polygonal cross section, and a thin protective part is provided between the two fixing parts. The base and the connecting plate are provided with mounting grooves that match the fixing parts, and the mounting groove is also provided with an opening that communicates with the outside and allows the protective part to pass through.

[0008] In some embodiments, the first connecting part and the second connecting part are each provided with a corresponding first abutting component. In the unfolded state, the first connecting part and the second connecting part also maintain the base and the connecting plate in the same plane state through the first abutting component. The first abutting component consists of two 90° substrate apex corners located on one side of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, respectively.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion includes a first limiting hook extending outward from the abutting surface of the first abutting component. The second connecting part includes a second limiting hook that extends inward along the abutting surface of the first abutting component and engages with the first limiting hook. The outer wall of the groove formed by the first limiting hook is an arc-shaped curved surface, and the inner wall of the second limiting hook is an arc-shaped curved surface, realizing the rotational hinge of the first limiting hook and the second limiting hook.

[0010] In some embodiments, the second limiting hook has a fixing groove inside, and the top of the hook portion of the first limiting hook has a fixing block that matches the fixing groove.

[0011] In some embodiments, the second abutting component at the abutting point where the seat and connecting plate abut each other in the folded state is provided with a folding buffer pad, which is disposed on the seat or connecting plate. The base and connecting plate are also kept in a folded vertical state by a second abutment component.

[0012] In some embodiments, the second abutting component is located on the other side of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion corresponding to the first abutting component, including a substrate V-groove with an included angle of 135° on the first connecting portion, and a substrate apex angle with an outer tip angle of 135° on the second connecting portion.

[0013] In some embodiments, the folded buffer pad covers the top corner of the substrate with an external tip angle of 135° on the second connection portion, and the folded buffer pad is fixed to both sides of the top corner of the substrate.

[0014] In some embodiments, a T-shaped groove and a circular groove are provided on both sides of the top corner of the substrate with an external tip angle of 135° on the second connecting part; One end of the folded buffer pad is provided with a T-shaped fixing block that matches the T-slot, and the other end of the folded buffer pad is provided with a circular fixing block that matches the circular slot.

[0015] Beneficial effects Compared with the prior art, this utility model splices two base plates into a whole through a connecting mechanism, and prevents rainwater from entering the interior of the roof tent through a waterproof seal, thus achieving a waterproof seal and effectively realizing the waterproof function of the roof tent panel connection, protecting the dry environment inside the roof tent, and providing a roof tent with waterproof effect.

[0016] Specifically, the elastic stretch design of the waterproof seal in its folded / unfolded state ensures continuous sealing during movement, avoiding leakage caused by insufficient deformation of traditional static seals. Furthermore, a first abutment component with a 90° apex angle ensures the accuracy of the unfolded plane, while a second abutment component with a 135° V-groove locks the folded vertical position, improving structural stability. The folding buffer pad further protects the structural integrity of the panels in the folded state, reducing wear and noise and extending service life. The waterproof sealant, through the cooperation of the fixing part and the mounting groove, ensures that it maintains its sealing performance after multiple folds; the arc-shaped surface design of the first and second limit hooks achieves smooth hinge and is not easy to fall out; the folding buffer pad is connected to the base plate through T-shaped and circular fixing blocks, which is firmly installed and has a good buffering effect.

[0027] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but should not be used to limit the scope of this utility model. Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 9 As shown, the rooftop tent with a waterproof connection structure in this embodiment includes a foldable tent base 100, a tent fabric 106, and a tent support set on the tent base 100 for supporting the tent fabric 106. The tent base 100 includes two seats 10 and connecting plates 1 that are hinged to the two seats 10 respectively. The seats 10 serve as the cover at the bottom of the roof tent. The cover has two parts, upper and lower, which can be fastened together and installed on the roof of the car. A waterproof seal 3 is also provided between the base 10 and the connecting plate 1; In the unfolded state, the base 10 and the connecting plate 1 are on the same plane or nearly on the same plane, and the tent frame supports the tent fabric 106. In the folded state, the base 10 and the connecting plate 1 are in a vertical or nearly vertical state, and the tent frame and the tent fabric 106 are stored in the accommodating space formed by the two bases 10 and the connecting plate 1. The adjacent side edges of the seat 10 and the connecting plate 1 are respectively provided with a first connecting part 4 and a second connecting part 5 for hinge; the waterproof seal 3 is provided with a fixing part 32 on both sides, and is connected to the seat 10 and the connecting plate 1 respectively through the fixing part 32. The waterproof seal 3 is used for waterproof sealing at the hinge of the first connecting part 4 and the second connecting part 5, which is the core of this embodiment.

[0029] The tent frame includes a first tent frame 101, a second tent frame 102, and a third tent frame 103, which are respectively located on two bases 10 and a connecting plate 1. Each of the first tent frame 101, the second tent frame 102, and the third tent frame 103 includes a support base 104 and a support rod 105 hinged to the support base 104. The tent fabric 106 is supported by the unfolded support rod 105. Specifically, there are two support bases 104, which are used to fix the two ends of the support rod 105. The support rod 105 is a frame-shaped rod with both ends hinged to the support base 104 to achieve rotation, thereby adjusting the support position of the tent fabric 106.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, each side of the connecting plate 1 has a seat 10. One seat 10 serves as the lower cover of the rooftop tent, and the other seat 10 serves as the upper cover of the rooftop tent. The lower and upper covers are fastened together and are in a folded state. When opened, the inner tent is spread out, and the two seats 10 and the connecting plate 1 unfold, all located on the same plane to form the inner bottom of the tent. Therefore, since rooftop tents are generally used outdoors, sealing is very important for wind and water protection. However, the first connecting part 4 and the second connecting part 5, which are hinged together, cannot effectively achieve waterproof sealing.

[0031] Regarding how to achieve sealing, specifically, the cross-section of the fixing part 32 is cylindrical or polygonal, and a thin protective part 31 is provided between the two fixing parts 32. The base body 10 and the connecting plate 1 are both provided with mounting grooves 33 that match the fixing parts 32, and the mounting grooves 33 are also provided with an opening 34 that communicates with the outside and allows the protective part 31 to pass through.

[0032] When the seat 10 and the connecting plate 1 are in the unfolded state, the corresponding roof tent is also in the unfolded state. The waterproof seal 3 is located outside the roof tent and is in the initial unstretched state. The initial state means that the waterproof seal 3 is not under stress; or in the preliminary stretched state, that is, it will be tightened by a certain pre-tension during the installation process. When the seat 10 and connecting plate 1 are in the folded state, the rooftop tent is also in the folded state. The waterproof seal 3 is located outside the rooftop tent and is in a further stretched state. When the rooftop tent is changed from the unfolded state to the folded state, the protective part 31 of the waterproof seal 3 is stretched along the distance between the mounting groove 33 on the seat 10 and the connecting plate 1. The waterproof seal 3 is prevented from falling out by the cooperation design of the mounting groove 33 and the opening 34. The waterproof seal 3 is generally made of elastic silicone or rubber material, which can effectively improve the sealing effect.

[0033] Furthermore, the first connecting part 4 and the second connecting part 5 are each provided with a corresponding first abutting component 7. When unfolded, the first connecting part 4 and the second connecting part 5 also maintain the base body 10 and the connecting plate 1 on the same plane through the first abutting component 7. The first abutting component 7 consists of two 90° base plate apex corners located on one side of the first connecting part 4 and the second connecting part 5, respectively. That is, the abutting is achieved through the apex corners of the base body 10 and the connecting plate 1 themselves, and the two 90° base plate apex corners can ensure that the two are on the same plane after unfolding.

[0034] like Figures 3-7 As shown, the first connecting part 4 includes a first limiting hook 41 extending outward from the abutting surface of the first abutting component 7 towards the seat body 10, and the second connecting part 5 includes a second limiting hook 51 extending inward from the abutting surface of the first abutting component 7 towards the connecting plate 1, which overlaps and cooperates with the first limiting hook 41; the outer wall of the groove formed by the first limiting hook 41 is an arc-shaped curved surface, and the inner wall of the second limiting hook 51 is an arc-shaped curved surface, realizing the rotational hinge of the first limiting hook 41 and the second limiting hook 51; the core purpose of the structural design of the first limiting hook 41 and the second limiting hook 51 is to ensure the smooth rotation of the entire seat body 10 and the connecting plate 1, which can... The first and second limiting hooks have the same radius of curvature to reduce rotational friction and ensure they do not detach. Specifically, the outer wall of the groove formed by the first limiting hook 41 is an arc-shaped surface, and the inner wall of the second limiting hook 51 is an arc-shaped surface. The abutment design of the arc-shaped surfaces achieves smooth rotation. Furthermore, a fixing groove is provided inside the second limiting hook 51, and a fixing block matching the fixing groove is provided at the top of the hook of the first limiting hook 41 to improve the firmness of the fit and prevent it from coming off during normal rotation. Installation or disassembly can be achieved by staggered insertion.

[0035] The first limiting hook 41 is designed with a downward bend and is located on the upper side of the first connecting part 4. It bends downward from the side edge of the first connecting part 4 to form a hook shape, with a certain curvature on the inner side to better match the second limiting hook 51. The second limiting hook 51 is an upward bend and is located on the lower side of the second connecting part 5. It bends upward from the side edge of the second connecting part 5 to form a hook shape, and the shape and curvature of the hook match the first limiting hook 41. The material and design requirements of the second limiting hook 51 are consistent with those of the first limiting hook 41 to ensure the reliability and stability of the connection. When the first limiting hook 41 and the second limiting hook 51 are connected, they form an approximately circular structure. This circular structure is formed because the downward bend of the first limiting hook 41 and the upward bend of the second limiting hook 51 interlock, and the inner curvatures of the hooks fit together, making the connection part form a closed, relatively regular circular contour. This allows for a more even distribution of the force during connection, improving the strength and stability of the connection. Example 2

[0036] Compared to Example 1, such as Figure 8 As shown, the second abutting component 8 at the contact point between the seat body 10 and the connecting plate 1 in the folded state is provided with a folding buffer pad 6, which is disposed on the seat body 10 or the connecting plate 1. The seat body 10 and the connecting plate 1 are also kept in a folded vertical state by the second abutting component 8. The folding buffer pad 6 is used to achieve a buffering effect on the contact between the seat body 10 and the connecting plate 1 after folding, and at the same time plays a protective role for the seat body 10 and the connecting plate 1.

[0037] The second abutting component 8 is located on the other side of the first connecting part 4 and the second connecting part 5 corresponding to the first abutting component 7, including a substrate V-groove with an included angle of 135° on the first connecting part 4, and a substrate apex angle with an outer tip angle of 135° on the second connecting part 5.

[0038] The folded buffer pad 6 covers the top corner of the substrate with an external tip angle of 135° on the second connecting part 5, and the folded buffer pad 6 is fixed to both sides of the top corner of the substrate.

[0039] The second connecting part 5 has T-shaped grooves 52 and circular grooves 53 on both sides of the apex corner of the substrate with an external tip angle of 135°. One end of the folded buffer pad 6 is provided with a T-shaped fixing block 61 that matches the T-shaped groove 52, and the other end is provided with a circular fixing block 62 that matches the circular groove 53. Specifically, the T-shaped fixing block 61 is located at one end of the folded buffer pad 6, and its shape matches the T-shaped groove 52. The width of the horizontal portion of the "T" shape is slightly smaller than the opening width of the T-shaped groove 52, so that it can smoothly pass through the opening and enter the cavity; the length and width of the vertical portion are adapted to the cavity size of the T-shaped groove 52, ensuring a close fit after entering the cavity and achieving a stable connection. The circular fixing block 62 is located at the other end of the folded buffer pad 6, and its shape is circular, matching the circular groove 53. The diameter of the circular fixing block 62 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the circular groove 53, allowing it to easily embed into the circular groove 53 and rotate and slide freely within the groove.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
