[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, taking the connection of a vehicle-mounted tent to a pickup truck as an example, the vehicle-mounted tent is not easy to install or remove. It requires a crane to install the vehicle-mounted tent onto the pickup truck or to detach the vehicle-mounted tent from the pickup truck. This method is not something that users can operate themselves, resulting in low convenience and a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the terms "height direction", "up", "down", "top", "bottom", "left", "right", "front", "back", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application.

[0023] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "support" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed supports, detachable supports, or integral supports; they can refer to mechanical supports or electrical supports; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 8 This application provides a vehicle-mounted tent 100.

[0025] The vehicle-mounted tent 100 is used to install on a vehicle. This vehicle can be any vehicle in the related art capable of carrying the vehicle-mounted tent 100 of the present application embodiment. The type of 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.

[0026] The vehicle-mounted tent 100 can be attached to the roof, the bed (of a pickup truck), etc., and there are no restrictions on this. In this application, the vehicle-mounted tent 100 is described as being installed in the bed of a pickup truck.

[0027] 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.

[0028] The vehicle-mounted tent 100 includes a folding tent assembly 10 and an automatic lifting support device 20.

[0029] The folding tent assembly 10 includes a base frame 11 and a top frame 12.

[0030] The underframe 11 is used for connection to a vehicle; that is, the vehicle-mounted tent 100 is connected to the vehicle via the underframe 11, for example, to the bed of a pickup truck. The underframe 11 provides a stable mounting platform. The underframe 11 is detachably connected to the vehicle, so that the vehicle-mounted tent 100 can be installed on the vehicle when in use and detached from the vehicle when not in use, reducing the space occupied on the vehicle.

[0031] The top frame 12 is movable relative to the bottom frame 11 to switch the folding tent assembly 10 between a folded state and an unfolded state.

[0032] It should be noted that the movement of the top frame 12 relative to the base frame 11 can be rotation, translation, lifting, or a combination of multiple movements, and no restrictions are imposed here.

[0033] In the folded state, the top frame 12 is stacked on top of the base frame 11; in the unfolded state, the top frame 12 and the base frame 11 unfold and define at least the first activity space 100b.

[0034] In the folded state, the top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11 are stacked along the height direction to achieve the folding of the folding tent assembly 10. The folded top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11 can define a space for accommodating the tarpaulin or other structures of the folding tent assembly 10.

[0035] In the unfolded state, the top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11 unfold and at least define a first activity space 100b. This means that when the top frame 12 moves relative to the bottom frame 11, a first activity space 100b is defined between the top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11 for user movement. Here, the first activity space 100b can be formed between the top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11 along the height direction, or it can be formed above the top frame 12 after it is laid flat and unfolded.

[0036] It is understood that, in the unfolded state, the folding tent assembly 10 may only form a first activity space 100b, or it may also form other spaces for user activity, such as the second activity space 100c described below. That is, after the top frame 12 and the base frame 11 are unfolded, the top frame 12 itself can unfold to define other spaces for user activity, or the top frame 12 may also be connected to other structures, which together define other spaces for user activity; this is not limited here.

[0037] For example, a first tarpaulin can be connected between the top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11. When unfolded, the first tarpaulin, together with the top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11, encloses a first activity space 100b for the user to lie down and rest. This forms a relatively enclosed space, which to some extent blocks the influence of the external environment such as dust and rain, and protects the user's safety, preventing the user from accidentally falling or being affected by external organisms while camping in the wild.

[0038] The first tent can be a frame tent, which means that the first tent needs to be supported by a frame. The first tent can also be an inflatable tent, which means that the first tent uses inflatable columns instead of the aforementioned frames to support the first tent. Of course, the first tent can also be a hybrid of inflatable and frame tents, that is, using both inflatable columns and frames to support the first tent.

[0039] The automatic lifting support device 20 includes an electric drive assembly 21 and a support assembly 22. The support assembly 22 is detachably connected to the outside of the folding tent assembly 10. The electric drive assembly 21 is connected to the support assembly 22 to drive the support assembly 22 to lift and lower in the height direction.

[0040] The support component 22 is detachably connected to the outside of the folding tent component 10. That is, the support component 22 is located outside the folding tent component 10 and can be removed from the folding tent component 10. In other words, the automatic lifting support device 20 can be used as an accessory of the vehicle tent 100. When the vehicle tent 100 needs to be installed, the automatic lifting support device 20 is taken out and the support component 22 is connected to the folding tent component 10. When the vehicle tent 100 does not need to be installed, the automatic lifting support device 20 is removed from the folding tent component 10. The probability of the support component 22 interfering with the vehicle is low.

[0041] The detachable connection method between the support component 22 and the folding tent component 10 is not limited; it can be snap-fit, screw-fit, etc.

[0042] The support component 22 may be connected to the top frame 12, the bottom frame 11, or other structures of the folding tent component 10; there are no restrictions on this.

[0043] The electric drive assembly 21 drives the support assembly 22 to rise and fall in the height direction. That is, the automatic lifting support device 20 can automatically rise and fall without manual adjustment by the user, thereby adjusting the height of the support assembly 22 and thus the height of the folding tent assembly 10. The support assembly 22 is used to provide stable support for the folding tent assembly 10 during installation or disassembly, facilitating the connection or separation of the folding tent assembly 10 from the vehicle.

[0044] The driving method of the electric drive assembly 21 is not limited, as long as it can achieve automatic lifting. For example, it can be a hydraulic cylinder drive, a pneumatic cylinder drive, an electric cylinder drive, or an electric push rod drive, and there is no limitation here.

[0045] For example, users can control the lifting of the automatic lifting support device 20 via a remote control.

[0046] The automatic lifting support device 20 has a lifting state. In the lifting state, please refer to... Figure 1 One end of the support component 22 touches the ground, and the other end lifts the folding tent component 10 to create a passage 100a under the folding tent component 10 for at least part of the vehicle to pass through.

[0047] In other words, in the lifting state, one end of the support component 22 is in contact with the ground and receives support from the ground, while the other end lifts the folding tent component 10. At this time, the folding tent component 10 is in an off-ground state, receiving off-ground support through the support component 22. The support component 22 lifts the folding tent component 10 to a position above at least part of the vehicle, so that the vehicle can enter the passage 100a enclosed by the folding tent component 10 and the support component 22. Then, the height of the support component 22 is adjusted so that the folding tent component 10 can be connected to the vehicle in the height direction.

[0048] For example, please refer to Figure 1 Taking a pickup truck as an example, in the lifting state, the support component 22 lifts the folding tent component 10 to a height higher than the pickup truck's bed. At this time, the user can remove the pickup truck's bed from the passage 100a to separate the vehicle tent 100 from the vehicle. Alternatively, the user can open the pickup truck's bed into the passage 100a to align with the folding tent component 10. This allows the support component 22 to adjust the height of the folding tent component 10, making the base frame 11 of the folding tent component 10 fit snugly and connect with the bed, thus enabling the installation of the folding tent component 10. Finally, the automatic lifting support device 20 can be removed from the folding tent component 10 for easy use of the vehicle tent 100.

[0049] For example, in the raised state, the folding tent assembly 10 may be in the folded state, so as to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the folding tent assembly 10.

[0050] In related technologies, the disassembly and assembly of vehicle-mounted tents requires a crane, which users cannot operate independently and must take to a specialized repair shop. This results in low operational convenience and fails to meet users' needs for disassembly and assembly anytime, anywhere. Of course, some related technologies also include support structures to meet users' needs for installation at any time. However, these support structures require users to manually adjust their support height. On the one hand, this is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inconvenient to operate. On the other hand, the accuracy of manual height adjustment is difficult to guarantee, which can easily lead to scratches between the vehicle and the vehicle-mounted tent when the vehicle is moving, or uneven heights of multiple support devices. This results in low lifting stability of the folding tent components and a poor user experience.

[0051] The vehicle-mounted tent 100 provided in this application embodiment has an automatic lifting support device 20 that can lift the folding tent assembly 10 to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the folding tent assembly 10 from the vehicle. The automatic lifting method, on the one hand, meets the user's need for assembly and disassembly anytime and anywhere, so that the vehicle and the vehicle-mounted tent 100 can be used together or separately and independently. On the other hand, it saves time and effort, supports single-person operation, and can accurately and quickly adjust the support height, reducing the human burden and poor support height accuracy problems caused by manual adjustment, and improving the user experience.

[0052] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The automatic lifting support device 20 has an initial state in which one end of the support component 22 is connected to the folding tent component 10 and the other end is suspended in the air.

[0053] It should be noted that the initial state refers to the state when the automatic lifting support device 20 is first connected to the folding tent assembly 10. At this time, the lifting stroke of the support assembly 22 is zero, the support assembly 22 has an initial height, and the automatic lifting support device 20 takes the initial state as the starting state, so that the support assembly 22 starts to rise from the initial height and moves to the top lifting state.

[0054] In this embodiment, in the initial state, the support component 22 is in a suspended state, that is, the support component 22 does not touch the ground. The support component 22 is installed on the folding tent component 10 without touching the ground. This allows the support component 22 to be positioned and connected to the folding tent component 10 without changing the position of the folding tent component 10. The user can directly hold the support component 22 and cooperate with the folding tent component 10 without having to consider whether the support component 22 touches the ground. This reduces the difficulty of positioning and cooperating the support component 22 and the folding tent component 10 and improves the convenience of operation. After the support component 22 is connected to the folding tent component 10, the support component 22 is raised to touch the ground and then moves to the lifting state.

[0055] It should be noted that when the support component 22 just touches the ground, the automatic lifting support device 20 is not necessarily in the lifting state. It is possible that the automatic lifting support device 20 is in the lifting state after the support component 22 touches the ground and then rises to a certain height.

[0056] For example, when it is necessary to disassemble the folding tent assembly 10, the base frame 11 is disconnected from the vehicle, but the folding tent assembly 10 has not yet been separated from the vehicle. The folding tent assembly 10 has a certain height off the ground, and the initial height of the support assembly 22 is lower than the height off the ground of the folding tent assembly 10. The support assembly 22 is directly connected to the folding tent assembly 10 without adjusting the height of the support assembly 22 to touch the ground and position it at the matching height with the folding tent assembly 10, reducing the difficulty of connection and matching. After the automatic lifting support device 20 is connected, the support assembly 22 is first made to touch the ground, and then the electric drive assembly 21 drives the support assembly 22 to continue to rise, reaching the top lifting state. The folding tent assembly 10 is higher than the height of the vehicle, such as the rear bed of a pickup truck. The folding tent assembly 10 can be separated from the vehicle by opening the pickup truck out of the passage 100a.

[0057] When the folding tent assembly 10 needs to be installed, the position of the folding tent assembly 10 is lower than the position of the rear bed of a vehicle such as a pickup truck. The automatic lifting support device 20 is connected to the folding tent assembly 10. First, the support assembly 22 touches the ground, and then the electric drive assembly 21 drives the support assembly 22 to continue to rise, reaching the top state. The folding tent assembly 10 is higher than the height of the rear bed of a vehicle such as a pickup truck. The vehicle is driven into the passage 100a, and then the support assembly 22 drives the folding tent assembly 10 to descend, thus realizing the docking of the folding tent assembly 10 with the vehicle.

[0058] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The base frame 11 and the top frame 12 are rotatably connected. In the unfolded state, the top frame 12 rotates relative to the base frame 11 to be laid flat with the base frame 11 along a first direction. The top frame 12 and the base frame 11 define a first activity space 100b above each other, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the height direction.

[0059] The top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11 are laid flat along the first direction, meaning that the top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11 are not erected or folded, and the included angle between the top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11 is almost 180°. The top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11 are unfolded to increase the size along the first direction, thereby forming a larger first activity space 100b above for users to move around. The first tarpaulin is unfolded above the top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11. In the folded state, the top frame 12 is flipped relative to the bottom frame 11 to be above the bottom frame 11 to achieve folding.

[0060] It should be noted that the folding tent assembly 10 can be double-folded, i.e., only the top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11 are used, or it can be triple-folded, i.e., the top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11 can be rotatably connected by a middle plate, and the middle plate is set vertically when folded.

[0061] In this embodiment, the folding tent assembly 10 is unfolded and folded by flipping the top frame 12 relative to the bottom frame 11. It is easy to unfold and the folding tent assembly 10 is formed as a single-layer unfolding structure with a simple structure.

[0062] The first direction can be either left-right or front-back; for example, the first direction is left-right.

[0063] It is understood that in this embodiment, when the folding tent assembly 10 needs to be installed on the vehicle, a platform may be provided below the folding tent assembly 10 so that the support assembly 22 is in an off-ground state when connected to the folding tent assembly 10.

[0064] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The folding tent assembly 10 includes a first lifting assembly 14, which is connected to the top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11 respectively. In the unfolded state, the first lifting assembly 14 drives the top frame 12 to move upward above the bottom frame 11 at least in the height direction. The top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11 define a first activity space 100b between them in the height direction.

[0065] The first lifting assembly 14 drives the top frame 12 to move upward toward the base frame 11, generating at least a vertical displacement along the height direction. This means that the first lifting assembly 14 can drive the top frame 12 to move upward toward the base frame 11, or it can generate displacement in other directions, such as displacement along the first direction, while driving the top frame 12 to move upward toward the base frame 11. This is not limited here.

[0066] The specific form of the first lifting component 14 is not limited; it can be a scissor lift mechanism, a rigid chain lift mechanism, a hydraulic telescopic rod mechanism, a multi-link mechanism, etc.

[0067] In this embodiment, the top frame 12 is raised and lowered by the first lifting component 14 to form a first active space 100b with the base frame 11. The top frame 12 can be supported by the first lifting component 14 without the need for an additional support structure. The first lifting component 14 can also be folded between the top frame 12 and the base frame 11 without occupying additional space, which is beneficial for folding and miniaturization design.

[0068] For example, in the unfolded state, the first tarpaulin is connected between the top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11, and in the folded state, the first tarpaulin is folded into the space enclosed by the top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11.

[0069] It should be noted that when the top frame 12 is raised or lowered relative to the base frame 11, the top frame 12 itself can be folded and unfolded, or the top frame 12 is a structure that cannot be folded and unfolded.

[0070] In some embodiments, for example, the top frame 12 may serve only as a cover for the first activity space 100b. In this embodiment, no activity space for users to rest is formed above the top frame 12, and the folding tent assembly 10 is formed as a single-layer structure.

[0071] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 Above the top frame 12, a second activity space 100c is formed. Both the second activity space 100c and the first activity space 100b can be used by the user. In this way, the setting of a double-layer activity space can increase the user's activity space and improve the user experience.

[0072] The way in which the second activity space 100c is formed above the top frame 12 is not limited. In some embodiments, the folding tent assembly 10 includes a fence that, together with the top frame 12, encloses a relatively open second activity space 100c.

[0073] In other embodiments, the folding tent assembly 10 further includes a second tent fabric, which, in the unfolded state, is attached above the top frame 12 and together with the top frame 12 encloses a second activity space 100c. The second tent fabric can be a frame tent, an inflatable tent, or a hybrid inflatable and frame tent. In this embodiment, the top frame 12 itself can be folded and unfolded, for example, by flipping it over.

[0074] In some other embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 8 The folding tent assembly 10 also includes an upper cover 13 and a second lifting assembly 15. The second lifting assembly 15 is connected to the top frame 12 and the upper cover 13 respectively. In the folded state, the upper cover 13, the top frame 12, and the bottom frame 11 are stacked in sequence from top to bottom. In the unfolded state, the second lifting assembly 15 drives the upper cover 13 to move upward above the top frame 12 at least in the height direction. The upper cover 13 and the top frame 12 define a second activity space 100c between them in the height direction.

[0075] In this embodiment, an upper cover 13 is also connected above the top frame 12, and the upper cover 13 and the top frame 12 define a second activity space 100c. A second tarpaulin can be connected between the top frame 12 and the upper cover 13.

[0076] The second lifting assembly 15 drives the upper cover 13 to move upward toward the top frame 12, at least in the height direction. This means that the second lifting assembly 15 can drive the upper cover 13 to move upward toward the top frame 12, or it can drive the upper cover 13 to move upward toward the top frame 12 while also generating displacement in other directions, such as displacement in the first direction. This is not limited here.

[0077] The specific form of the second lifting component 15 is not limited; it can be a scissor lift mechanism, a rigid chain lift mechanism, a hydraulic telescopic rod mechanism, a multi-link mechanism, etc.

[0078] In this embodiment, the upper cover 13 is raised and lowered by the second lifting component 15 to form a second active space 100c with the top frame 12. The upper cover 13 can be supported by the second lifting component 15 without the need for an additional support structure. The second lifting component 15 can also be folded between the top frame 12 and the upper cover 13 without occupying additional space, which is beneficial for folding and miniaturization design.

[0079] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The support component 22 is connected to the top frame 12. Thus, when the folding tent component 10 is separated from the vehicle, if the folding tent component 10 touches the ground or is close to the ground, the support component 22 can be easily positioned and connected to the top frame 12 with a certain starting height and in an off-the-ground state by raising the top frame 12 relative to the base frame 11, thereby increasing the connection reliability of the support component 22.

[0080] In other embodiments, the support component 22 is connected to the top cover 13. Thus, when the folding tent assembly 10 is separated from the vehicle, if the folding tent assembly 10 is touching the ground or close to the ground, the support component 22 can be easily positioned and connected to the top cover 12 with a certain starting height and in an off-ground state by raising the top cover 13 relative to the top frame 12, thereby increasing the connection reliability of the support component 22.

[0081] The specific construction of the first lifting assembly 14 and the second lifting assembly 15 is not limited.

[0082] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 8 The first lifting assembly 14 includes at least one first scissor fork assembly and a first power component. The first scissor fork assembly is connected to the base frame 11 and the top frame 12, and the output end of the first power component is connected to the first scissor fork assembly.

[0083] In this embodiment, a scissor fork structure is used to drive the top frame 12 to rise and fall relative to the base frame 11. The advantage of the scissor fork structure is its high motion stability and reliability, thereby improving the reliability of the vehicle tent 100's functionality. On the other hand, the scissor fork structure can achieve a large lifting stroke within a limited space, which helps to reduce the volume of the vehicle tent 100 in the folded state and increase the volume of the vehicle tent 100 in the unfolded state.

[0084] The number of first scissor fork assemblies can be two, and the two first scissor fork assemblies are arranged opposite each other in a direction perpendicular to the lifting direction, such as the first direction. The number of first power components can be two, which are respectively connected to the two first scissor fork assemblies, or the number of first power components can be one, which is connected to both first scissor fork assemblies.

[0085] The first scissor fork assembly can be specifically configured as an "X"-shaped scissor fork assembly, that is, including two scissor fork arms that are hinged to each other. The specific structure of the first power component is not limited. For example, the first power component may include a motor and a linear module connected to the motor. The linear module is connected to the output end of the motor and the movable end of the first scissor fork assembly. Of course, the first power component can also be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, etc.

[0086] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 8The second lifting assembly 15 includes at least one second scissor fork assembly and a second power member. The second scissor fork assembly is connected to the top frame 12 and the upper cover 13, and the output end of the second power member is connected to the second scissor fork assembly.

[0087] In this embodiment, a scissor fork structure is used to move the upper cover 13 relative to the top frame 12 up and down. The advantage of the scissor fork structure is its high stability and reliability, thereby improving the reliability of the vehicle tent 100's functionality. On the other hand, the scissor fork structure can achieve a large lifting stroke within a limited space, which helps to reduce the volume of the vehicle tent 100 in the folded state and increase the volume of the vehicle tent 100 in the unfolded state.

[0088] The number of second scissor fork assemblies can be two, and the two second scissor fork assemblies are arranged opposite each other in a direction perpendicular to the lifting direction, such as the second direction. The number of second power components can be two, each connected to one of the two second scissor fork assemblies, or the number of second power components can be one, which is connected to both second scissor fork assemblies.

[0089] The second scissor fork assembly can be specifically configured as an "X"-shaped scissor fork assembly, that is, including two scissor fork arms that are hinged to each other. The specific structure of the second power component is not limited. For example, the second power component may include a motor and a linear module connected to the motor. The linear module is connected to the output end of the motor and the movable end of the second scissor fork assembly. Of course, the second power component can also be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, etc.

[0090] The number of automatic lifting support devices 20 is unlimited.

[0091] In some embodiments, the number of automatic lifting support devices 20 is at least two, and the automatic lifting support devices are connected to opposite and / or adjacent sides of the folding tent assembly 10 in the horizontal direction.

[0092] The horizontal direction is perpendicular to the height direction, and the horizontal direction includes the first direction and the second direction.

[0093] It is understood that the automatic lifting support devices 20 may be provided only on opposite sides and / or adjacent sides of the folding tent assembly 10 along the horizontal direction, for example, on opposite sides in the first direction, or on opposite sides in the second direction. In this case, there may be one, two, or more automatic lifting support devices 20 on each side. Alternatively, the automatic lifting support devices 20 may be provided only on adjacent sides of the folding tent assembly 10 along the horizontal direction. For example, some automatic lifting support devices 20 may be provided on one side in the first direction, and others on one side in the second direction. The number of automatic lifting support devices 20 in the first and second directions may be one or more, respectively. Of course, it is also possible that the automatic lifting support devices 20 are provided on both opposite sides and adjacent sides of the folding tent assembly 10 along the horizontal direction, for example, on opposite sides in the first direction and on at least one side in the second direction. In this case, the number of automatic lifting support devices 20 is at least three.

[0094] For example, in some embodiments, there are two automatic lifting support devices 20, which are connected to opposite sides of the folding tent assembly 10 along a first direction.

[0095] In this embodiment, two automatic lifting support devices 20 lift the folding tent assembly 10 from opposite sides in the first direction. The number of automatic lifting support devices 20 is small, which helps to reduce the number of installations and improve assembly efficiency.

[0096] For example, in this embodiment, two automatic lifting support devices 20 may be connected to the middle region of the folding tent assembly 10 along the first direction to increase support stability.

[0097] Of course, in other embodiments, the two automatic lifting support devices 20 may also be connected to the two opposite corners of the folding tent assembly 10, which is not a limitation.

[0098] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 There are four automatic lifting support devices 20, which are connected to the four corners of the folding tent assembly 10. In this case, the four automatic lifting support devices 20 can be understood as being located on opposite sides of the folding tent assembly 10 along a first direction, or as being located on opposite sides of the folding tent assembly 10 along a second direction.

[0099] In this embodiment, four automatic lifting support devices 20 are connected to the four corners of the folding tent assembly 10, providing high support stability and facilitating the lifting of the folding tent assembly 10 from the four corners, thereby increasing the reliability of the folding tent assembly 10 in disassembly and assembly.

[0100] It is understandable that the lifting and lowering of multiple automatic lifting support devices 20 are achieved synchronously. Here, the synchronous control of multiple automatic lifting support devices 20 can be achieved through a remote control.

[0101] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The support component 22 includes a first connecting structure 2221, and the top frame 12 includes a second connecting structure 121. The first connecting structure 2221 and the second connecting structure 121 are detachably connected in the horizontal direction.

[0102] In this embodiment, the automatic lifting support device 20 and the folding tent assembly 10 are connected through the connection between the support component 22 and the top frame 12. The first connection structure 2221 and the second connection structure 121 are detachably connected in the horizontal direction. The large horizontal space facilitates unobstructed assembly and disassembly, reducing the probability of interference between the support component 22 and the folding tent assembly 10.

[0103] In some embodiments, the vehicle-mounted tent 100 includes a connector 30 that passes through and connects to a first connecting structure 2221 and a second connecting structure 121.

[0104] In this embodiment, the connector 30 can tightly connect the first connecting structure 2221 and the second connecting structure 121, increasing the connection stability between the support component 22 and the top frame 12. At the same time, it facilitates disassembly and improves the overall structural reliability of the vehicle tent 100.

[0105] The specific construction of the connector 30 is not limited; it can be a screw, or a combination of a bolt and a nut.

[0106] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 When the folding tent assembly 10 is separated from the vehicle, the position of the first connecting structure 2221 is higher than that of the second connecting structure 121, and the top frame 12 undergoes at least a vertical displacement relative to the bottom frame 11 in the height direction, so that the first connecting structure 2221 and the second connecting structure 121 are positioned and connected.

[0107] In this embodiment, when the folding tent assembly 10 is not installed on the vehicle and the support assembly 22 is separated from the folding tent assembly 10, the position of the first connecting structure 2221 is higher than that of the second connecting structure 121. That is, the starting height of the support assembly 22 is higher than the height of the folding tent assembly 10 in the folded state, making it inconvenient to connect the support assembly 22. By raising and lowering the top frame 12 relative to the bottom frame 11, the height of the second connecting structure 121 after the top frame 12 is raised is greater than the starting height of the support assembly 22. This makes it easier to operate the support assembly 22 to position and connect the first connecting structure 2221 and the second connecting structure 121 without being affected by the support assembly 22 touching the ground, thus facilitating the installation of the support assembly 22.

[0108] Understandably, after the support component 22 touches the ground, the height of the top frame 12 is limited by the support component 22. At this time, the action of the first lifting component 14 can cause the base frame 11 to fold upwards and overlap with the top frame 12, thereby restoring the top frame 12 and the base frame 11 from the unfolded state to the folded state. It should be noted that the raising of the support component 22 and the folding of the top frame 12 and the base frame 11 can be performed simultaneously or separately, without restriction.

[0109] The specific structure of the support component 22 is not limited.

[0110] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The support assembly 22 includes a support rod 221 and a mounting frame 222. The support rod 221 is spaced apart from the folding tent assembly 10 and connected to the electric drive assembly 21. The mounting frame 222 is connected to the top end of the support rod 221. The first connection structure 2221 is located at the end of the mounting frame 222 away from the support rod 221.

[0111] In this embodiment, the support rod 221 is connected to the folding tent assembly 10 through the mounting bracket 222. That is, the mounting bracket 222 increases the distance between the support rod 221 and the folding tent assembly 10. The support rod 221 and the folding tent assembly 10 are spaced apart, which facilitates support while forming a channel 100a of sufficient size for vehicles to pass through.

[0112] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 There are two first connecting structures 2221. The two first connecting structures 2221 are connected to each other to form an arc-shaped structure, which is adapted to the outer edge of the top frame 12.

[0113] In other words, a support component 22 can be provided with two first connection structures 2221.

[0114] The two first connecting structures 2221 are formed into an arc shape and are adapted to the outer edge of the top frame 12. In this way, the first connecting structure 2221 can fit fully with the top frame 12 and be connected to the opposite sides of one corner of the top frame 12, increasing the stability and reliability of the connection and facilitating the support component 22 to support the folding tent component 10.

[0115] The specific construction of the second connecting structure 121 is not limited. For example, the outer edge of the top frame 12 is recessed inward to form the second connecting structure 121. The first connecting structure 2221 and the second connecting structure 121 are adapted to each other. In this way, during assembly, the first connecting structure 2221 and the second connecting structure 121 can be positioned and matched intuitively and clearly.

[0116] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The mounting bracket 222 includes a first rod 2222, a second rod 2223, and a reinforcing member 2224. The first rod 2222 and the second rod 2223 are spaced apart along the height direction. One end of the first rod 2222 and the second rod 2223 are respectively connected to the support rod 221, and the other end is connected to the first connecting structure 2221. The reinforcing member 2224 is connected between the first rod 2222 and the second rod 2223.

[0117] In this embodiment, the first rod 2222 and the second rod 2223 connect the first connecting structure 2221 and the support rod 221. The reinforcing member 2224 is connected between the first rod 2222 and the second rod 2223 to increase the structural strength of the first rod 2222 and the second rod 2223. The overall structural strength of the mounting bracket 222 is high, which facilitates a stable connection.

[0118] The specific structure of the electric drive component 21 is not limited.

[0119] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The electric drive assembly 21 includes a drive motor 211 and a transmission mechanism; at least a portion of the drive motor 211 and the transmission mechanism are disposed within the support assembly 22.

[0120] The transmission mechanism converts the rotational motion of the drive motor 211 into linear motion to drive the support assembly 22 to rise and fall.

[0121] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the drive motor 211 and the transmission mechanism facilitates high-precision position control of the lifting and lowering of the support component 22, improves the smoothness and reliability of the lifting and lowering motion of the support component 22, and at the same time, the high motion efficiency is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0122] The specific structure of the transmission mechanism is not limited.

[0123] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4The transmission mechanism includes a lead screw 212 and a lead screw nut 213. The top end of the lead screw 212 is connected to the drive motor 211, and the lead screw nut 213 is connected to the support assembly 22. The lead screw nut 213 cooperates with the lead screw 212 to convert the rotation of the lead screw 212 into the linear motion of the lead screw nut 213.

[0124] The lead screw nut 213 engages with the lead screw 212. When the drive motor 211 rotates, the lead screw 212 rotates while the lead screw nut 213 remains stationary. The lead screw nut 213 moves linearly along the axial direction of the lead screw 212, thereby driving the support assembly 22 to rise and fall in the height direction. For example, when the lead screw 212 rotates clockwise, the lead screw nut 213 moves in the direction that increases the height of the support assembly 22, thus moving the support assembly 22 from the initial state to the lifting state. When the lead screw 212 rotates counterclockwise, the lead screw nut 213 moves in the direction that decreases the height of the support assembly 22, thus moving the support assembly 22 from the lifting state back to the initial state.

[0125] The type of fit between the lead screw 212 and the lead nut 213 is not limited. For example, it can be a threaded fit or a ball fit. Of course, the lead screw 212 and the lead nut 213 can also be other types of fits, which are not limited here.

[0126] In this embodiment, the automatic lifting support device 20 is generally formed as an electric push rod structure, with a lead screw 212 and a lead screw nut 213. The structure is simple and conducive to improving the kinetic energy utilization rate of the drive motor 211 and the transmission efficiency is high.
