[0002] With the increasing popularity and depth of self-driving tours, car-side tents, as an important piece of equipment for expanding the outdoor living function of vehicles, have received widespread attention for their convenience and practicality. To adapt to scenarios requiring frequent movement and rapid setup, self-driving enthusiasts and related manufacturers both domestically and internationally have developed car-side tents with various structures, significantly simplifying the setup and storage process and improving travel convenience. Currently, most mainstream products on the market adopt a design where the tent is installed on one side of the vehicle roof, creating a laterally extended sheltered space when unfolded. However, this type of side-mounted tent has gradually revealed several limitations in actual use: firstly, because the load is concentrated on one side of the vehicle, long-term use may affect the vehicle's balance and stability when driving and parked; secondly, when traversing densely vegetated areas such as jungles and shrubs, the side-extending tent body is prone to snagging on branches and vines, potentially damaging the tent and posing a driving safety hazard. Furthermore, the complex support structure and large size of some tents make the unfolding and storage process still time-consuming and laborious, affecting the user experience and failing to fully meet the market's demand for efficient and lightweight outdoor equipment. Therefore, a car-side tent that is easy to store and can be unfolded over a large area is sought. Utility Model Content

[0024] Example Reference Figures 1 to 5 The present invention proposes a foldable and retractable car tail tent, comprising: a shell assembly 10, a rotating base 20, a rotating plate 30, and a swing arm telescopic assembly 40. The shell assembly 10 is elongated and surrounds a receiving cavity 11; two rotating seats 20 are provided and installed at both ends of the inner cavity of the shell assembly 10; the rotating plate 30 is rotatably installed on the rotating seat 20; the swing arm telescopic assembly 40 is installed on the rotating plate 30; the swing arm telescopic assembly 40 is composed of several telescopic support rods 41 that are sleeved together; the telescopic support rods 41 are provided with a tail tent fixing part 42 for fixing the tent 50; The shell assembly 10 is installed above the rear of the vehicle; when the rotating plate 30 is rotated into the receiving cavity 11, several telescopic support rods 41 can be retracted and stored in the receiving cavity 11; when the rotating plate 30 is rotated out of the receiving cavity 11, the swing arm telescopic assembly 40 extends toward the rear side and / or the sides of the vehicle to set up the tent 50 on the rear side and rear sides of the vehicle.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Optimized vehicle balance and driving safety: By mounting the main body of the tent 50 above the rear of the vehicle, compared to single-sided mounting, its center of gravity is located near the vehicle's centerline, effectively avoiding vehicle balance issues that may be caused by uneven loading and improving vehicle stability during driving and parking. At the same time, when folded up, the tent 50 fits snugly against the rear of the vehicle without protruding to the sides, significantly reducing the risk of snagging on obstacles when driving on narrow or densely vegetated roads, fundamentally improving driving passability and safety.

[0026] 2. Achieve rapid, large-area deployment and flexible layout: Through the coordinated action of the rotating plate 30 and the telescopic arm assembly 40, the tent 50 support structure can quickly rotate from its stowed state and extend to the rear and side areas of the vehicle. The combined design of the telescopic support poles 41 allows for flexible adjustment of the coverage area according to actual site requirements, easily enabling the rapid setup of large-area sunshades or living spaces far exceeding the vehicle's volume, greatly improving space utilization and the camping experience.

[0027] 3. Convenient and efficient storage with minimal space occupation: All moving parts (rotating plate 30, telescopic arm assembly 40) can be completely retracted and housed within the elongated shell assembly 10 when folded, forming a neat and compact whole. This design makes the storage of the tent 50 extremely simple and quick, eliminating the need for cumbersome disassembly and binding. The final storage volume is small, making it easy to carry and store, significantly improving user convenience.

[0028] In this embodiment, the rotating base 20 is provided with a locking member 21; the locking member 21 is used to limit the rotation plate 30 to maintain the rotation angle of the rotating plate 30 and the telescopic arm assembly 40 towards the outside of the receiving cavity 11. The locking member 21 can fix the rotating plate 30 at a preset unfolding angle, preventing the rotating plate 30 from rotating randomly due to external forces (such as wind or collisions with people) during the use of the tent 50, thereby ensuring the stability of the extended posture of the telescopic arm assembly 40, ensuring that the tent 50 can always maintain a complete sheltered shape, and improving the reliability of outdoor use.

[0029] Specifically, the rotating base 20 has a locking hole for mounting the locking member 21. The locking hole allows the locking member 21 to be precisely embedded in the rotating base 20, ensuring that the connection position between the locking member 21 and the rotating base 20 is fixed, avoiding the limit failure problem caused by the installation misalignment of the locking member 21, and improving the assembly reliability of the locking structure.

[0030] In some embodiments, the locking element 21 is a bolt fixing pin that can be detachably inserted into the locking hole. The bolt fixing pin can achieve a high-strength connection between the locking element 21 and the rotating seat 20 through threaded connection or plug-in positioning, and the limiting effect is stable and reliable. Even in complex outdoor environments such as strong winds and vibrations, it can effectively prevent the rotating plate 30 from shifting and ensure the stability of the tent 50 in the unfolded state.

[0031] In some embodiments, the locking member 21 is an elastic fixing pin inserted into the locking hole. The elastic fixing pin achieves automatic positioning and locking by its own elasticity, and the insertion and removal operation can be completed without the aid of tools, which greatly simplifies the fixing and unlocking process of the rotating plate 30, and makes the tent 50 unfold and store faster, especially suitable for outdoor emergency setup or rapid transfer scenarios.

[0032] In this embodiment, the rotating base 20 has a "[" shaped structure, with open sides and rear, and the front fixed to the housing assembly 10. The open sides and rear of the "[" shaped structure provide ample space for the rotation and extension of the rotating plate 30 and the swing arm telescopic assembly 40, effectively avoiding interference with the rotating base 20's own structure during rotation. This ensures that the rotating plate 30 can smoothly rotate to a preset angle, improving the flexibility and reliability of the mechanism's movement. Compared to a closed structure, the open structure reduces material usage, achieving a lightweight design for the rotating base 20 and reducing the overall weight of the device.

[0033] In this embodiment, a rotating seat 20 is provided with two sets of rotating plates 30 and swing arm telescopic components 40; one set of rotating plates 30 and swing arm telescopic components 40 has a rotation angle of 90° to 180° towards the outside of the rotating seat 20, extending obliquely to the rear of the vehicle; the other set of rotating plates 30 and swing arm telescopic components 40 has a rotation angle of 180° to 270° towards the outside of the rotating seat 20, extending obliquely to the front of both sides of the vehicle.

[0034] One set of components extends diagonally rearward towards the rear of the vehicle (rotation angle 90°-180°), which can significantly expand the sheltered space directly behind the vehicle, meeting core needs such as rest for people and storage of items; the other set extends diagonally forward towards both sides of the vehicle (rotation angle 180°-270°), which can expand the sheltered space on both sides of the rear of the vehicle, forming a semi-circular or circular sheltered area around the rear of the vehicle. Compared with expansion in one direction, the space utilization rate is higher, and it can simultaneously meet diverse needs such as multi-person activities and zoned use.

[0035] In this embodiment, the housing assembly 10 includes a housing base 12 and a housing cover 13. The housing cover 13 is rotatably mounted on the housing base 12 and can close the housing base 12. The housing cover 13 and the housing base 12 enclose a receiving cavity 11. The rotating seat 20 is fixed to the housing base 12. The housing cover 13 can rotatably close the housing base 12, so that the receiving cavity 11 forms a closed space, which can effectively block outdoor dust, rainwater, mud and other impurities from entering the cavity, protect the core components such as the telescopic support rod 41 and the rotating plate 30 from corrosion, prevent the components from rusting and jamming, and extend the service life of the device. At the same time, the closed storage can prevent the components from being damaged by collision due to vibration during driving.

[0036] Specifically, the back of the housing 12 is provided with a connecting groove 14 for connecting to the rear of the car. The connecting groove 14 provides a clear installation position for mounting bolts, clips and other connecting parts, making it easy for users to quickly complete the fixed assembly without the need for professional installation tools and skills, thus improving the ease of installation and meeting the self-installation needs of self-driving tour users.

[0037] Furthermore, the shell cover 13 is equipped with a hanging net 15 for hanging items. This makes full use of the external space of the tent 50 storage box. When the shell assembly 10 is closed, this hanging net 15 can easily hang small items such as camping lights, tools, and clothing, increasing practicality and improving the integration and ease of use of the equipment.

[0038] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
