Abstract
Description
A tent that can be easily folded and unfolded by attaching it to the rear of a vehicle, and a method for installing the same
[0001] The present application relates to a tent that is attached to and detached from a hitch receiver fixed to the rear of a vehicle, and a method for installing the same, and more particularly, to a tent that is easy to fold and unfold, and a method for installing the same, including a hitch connector that is attached and detached from the hitch receiver, a housing that is connected to the hitch connector and is fixed so as to be adjacent to the vehicle or so as to be adjacent to the ground, an air tent body that is folded and stored inside the housing, and a plurality of height adjustment units that adjust the height of the air tent body into which air is injected from the ground.
[0002]
[0003] With the five-day workweek becoming the norm and national incomes rising, the number of people enjoying outdoor leisure activities is naturally increasing. While accommodations like condos, resorts, and hotels are typically preferred when traveling, these are often inconvenient and expensive during peak season, posing a significant burden. Furthermore, the desire to enjoy weekend and leisure activities closer to nature at a lower cost has led to an explosive increase in demand for auto camping, which is establishing itself as a distinct culture.
[0004] Typically, when camping, a tent is set up on the ground. However, the tents currently on the market are inconvenient to set up and dismantle, water can seep into the tent floor when it rains, and a lot of force is required to load and unload the tent from the vehicle, making them inconvenient to use.
[0005] To address this issue, so-called rooftop tents, installed on vehicle roofs, are becoming commercially available. Because these tents are installed elevated from the ground, there's no risk of rainwater seeping into the tent floor during rainy weather. Furthermore, they offer the advantage of being relatively easy to move.
[0006] However, rooftop tents like this have a narrow interior compared to regular tents, and a separate ladder is required to get in and out, making them inconvenient. Therefore, when using a rooftop tent, an annex is often installed to secure a living space on the ground. Installing both a rooftop tent and an annex like this requires a lot of time and labor to set up and fold the tent. Furthermore, even when installing an annex to secure a living space, as mentioned above, there is no separate deck, so water may seep into the living space floor during rainy weather, making it difficult to sit down. While installing a deck inside the annex allows for sitting down even during rainy weather, carrying a separate deck in addition to the tent and annex not only presents storage difficulties, but also requires a lot of time and labor to install the deck.

[0055]
[0056] FIG. 1 is a flowchart for explaining a method for installing a tent that is easy to fold and unfold according to an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are side views for explaining a method for moving and storing a tent that is easy to fold and unfold according to an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are drawings for explaining a hitch connector of a tent that is easy to fold and unfold according to an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are drawings for explaining a support member of a tent that is easy to fold and unfold according to an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 8 is a perspective view for explaining an air tent body stored inside a housing of a tent that is easy to fold and unfold according to an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 9 to FIG. 11 are drawings for explaining a method for installing a tent that is easy to fold and unfold according to an embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 12 to FIG. 16 are drawings for explaining a height adjustment unit of a tent that is easy to fold and unfold according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0057] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 16, a tent that is easy to fold and unfold according to an embodiment of the present application can be attached and detached to a hitch receiver (20). The tent can be transported by being mounted on the vehicle (10), or can be installed by being settled on the ground (1). The tent can include a hitch connector (100), a housing (200), a fixed frame (300), a height adjustment unit (400), and an air tent body (500).
[0058] One end of the hitch receiver (20) may be fixed to the rear of the vehicle (10). The other end of the hitch receiver (20) may be connected to the tent via the hitch connector (100). Alternatively, the hitch receiver (20) may be connected to a towing device for towing another vehicle, or may be connected to various parts such as a cover or accessories, but is not limited thereto.
[0059] The hitch connector (100) can be attached to and detached from the hitch receiver (20). One end of the hitch connector (100) can be coupled to the hitch receiver (20), and the other end can be coupled to the housing (200). The hitch connector (100) can include a first connector (101), a second connector (102), and a rotary connector (103).
[0060] The first connector (101) may be fixed to the other end of the hitch receiver (20). The first connector (101) may be formed to extend in the longitudinal direction (x-axis direction) of the vehicle (10). The first connector (101) may further include a plurality of coupling holes and a fixing bolt (101a) coupled with the rotary connector (103).
[0061] The second connector (102) may be coupled and fixed to one surface of the housing (200). The second connector (102) may be formed to extend in the width direction (y-axis direction) of the vehicle. The second connector (102) may further include a plurality of coupling holes and a bracket fixing member (102a) for fixing the rotary connector (103).
[0062] The bracket fixing member (102a) may be inserted into the coupling hole of the second connector (102) and the coupling hole of the rotary connector (103) to fix the second connector (102) and the rotary connector (103). Alternatively, the bracket fixing member (102a) may be inserted into the coupling hole of the second connector (102) to improve the coupling strength of the second connector (102) and the rotary connector (103).
[0063] The above bracket fixing member (102a) may include a bolt head, a first column portion extending from the bolt head, a first screw thread (102b) formed on the first column portion at an upper end close to the bolt head, a second column portion extending from the first column portion, a second screw thread (102c) formed on the second column portion at an end of the bracket fixing member (102a), and a nut coupled with the second screw thread (102c).
[0064] For example, the diameter of the cross-section of the first pillar portion may be formed to be larger than the diameter of the cross-section of the second pillar portion. As illustrated in Fig. 5, the first screw thread (102b) and the second screw thread (102c) may be formed to be spaced apart from each other.
[0065] The above-described rotary connector (103) can connect the first connector (101) and the second connector (102). The rotary connector (103) can be coupled or separated from the first connector (101) through the fixing bolt (101a), etc. The rotary connector (103) can be axially coupled to the second connector (102) through a pin member, etc. In addition, the rotary connector (103) can be coupled without overlapping, or can be coupled while overlapping with the second connector (102) through the bracket fixing member (102a), etc. That is, the rotary connector (103) can be coupled in a state perpendicular to the second connector (102), or can be fixed while overlapping with the second connector (102). The above-mentioned rotary connector (103) may further include a plurality of coupling holes and a guide groove (103a) that guides the fixing bolt (101a) of the first connector (101) when coupled with the first connector (101).
[0066] When the tent is stored at the rear of the vehicle, moved through the vehicle, and when the rotating connector (103) is separated from the first connector (101), the rotating connector (103) can be overlapped and connected to the second connector (102) through the bracket fixing member (102a).
[0067] When the tent is installed on the ground (1), the rotary connector (103) can be coupled in a rotatably manner by being axially coupled to the second connector (102). At this time, the bracket fixing member (102a) can be inserted into the coupling hole of the second connector (102) to limit the movement of the rotary connector (103). More specifically, the pressing force of the second connector (102) that contacts both ends of the rotary connector (103) can be adjusted through the first screw thread (102b) at the top of the bracket fixing member (102a), the second screw thread (102c) at the end, and the nut. Accordingly, the fixing force of the rotary connector (103) connected to the first connector (102) can be further increased.
[0068] In other words, the first connector (101) and the second connector (102) can rotate relatively through the rotary connector (103). Consequently, as illustrated in FIG. 2, when the tent requires storage and movement, the housing (200) can be fixed in a state perpendicular to the hitch connector (100). Alternatively, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, when the tent is unfolded and installed, the housing (200) can be maintained in a horizontal state with respect to the hitch connector (100). Accordingly, when the housing (200) is maintained in a state perpendicular to the hitch connector (100) through the hitch connector (100), the storage of the tent including the housing (200) can be facilitated, and the convenience of use for the user can be improved.
[0069] In addition, when the housing (200) needs to be separated from the vehicle (10), after releasing the pin connection of the fixing bolt (101a) that fixes the first connector (101) and the rotary connector (103), as shown in FIG. 5, the rotary connector (103) can be rotated toward the second connector (102) and firmly fixed using the bracket fixing member (102a). More specifically, the first connector (102) and the rotary connector (103) can be fixed and supported through the first screw thread (102b) at the top of the bracket fixing member (102a). In addition, the coupling force between the first connector (102) and the rotary connector (103) can be further increased by combining with the nut through the second screw thread (102c) at the end of the bracket fixing member (102a).
[0070] Accordingly, even when the tent is spread out and in use, the vehicle (10) can be used freely, thereby improving user convenience.
[0071] The housing (200) is placed on the ground (1) (S100).
[0072] As described above, the housing (200) can be coupled to the rear of the vehicle (10) by being coupled with the second connector (102) of the hitch connector (100). The housing (200) can be fixed in a state perpendicular to the hitch connector (100) and stored adjacent to the vehicle (10), or can be maintained in a horizontal state with respect to the hitch connector (100) so as to be adjacent to the ground (1). The housing (200) can include a body housing (210), an opening / closing door (220), a support member (230), a cover housing (240), and a rotational coupling member (250).
[0073] The above body housing (210) can be coupled to the other end of the hitch connector (100). The body housing (210) can include an internal space. The body housing (210) can include a first internal space (211) with an open upper end and a second internal space (212) with an open lower end.
[0074] The above first internal space (211) can store the fixed frame (300), the height adjustment unit (400), the air tent body (500), and other items.
[0075] The second internal space (212) can store the support member (230). The second internal space can be combined to cover or not cover the lower part opened through the opening / closing door (220).
[0076] The above-mentioned opening / closing door (220) can selectively open or close the open bottom of the second internal space (212). When the opening / closing door (220) is opened, the support member (230) stored in the second internal space (212) can be pulled out of the second internal space (212).
[0077] The above-mentioned support member (230) can support the body housing (200) from the ground (1). The support member (230) can be adjusted in length and stored in the second internal space (212) or pulled out to the outside. The support member (230) can include a first support member (231), a second support member (232), and a fixing member (233).
[0078] The first support member (231) may include a pipe shape with an empty interior. The first support member (231) may overlap the second support member (232). For example, the second support member (232) may be selectively inserted or removed into the interior of the first support member (231). The cross-sectional area of the first support member (231) may be formed to be larger than the cross-sectional area of the second support member (232).
[0079] As described above, the second support member (232) can overlap with the first support member (231). The second support member (232) can be inserted into the interior of the first support member (231). The second support member (232) can include a plurality of protrusions (232a) and a plurality of recessed portions (232b) formed spaced apart in the length direction on the surface.
[0080] The above-mentioned fixing member (233) can be coupled to the outer surface of the first support member (231). The above-mentioned fixing member (233) can include a pressing portion (233a), a hinge portion (233b), and a hook portion (233c).
[0081] The above-mentioned pressurizing portion (233a) can be pressed by a user and rotated in a direction toward the first support member (231) through the hinge portion (233b). The above-mentioned pressurizing portion (233a) can rotate through the hinge portion (233b).
[0082] The above-mentioned hooking portion (233c) may be formed to extend in a direction opposite to the pressing portion (233a) based on the hinge portion (233b). The above-mentioned hooking portion (233c) may be selectively hooked to one of the recessed portions (232b) located between two adjacent protrusions (232a) of the second support member (232).
[0083] In other words, when the pressurizing portion (233a) is not pressurized, the catch portion (233c) can restrict the movement of the second support member (232). For example, when the second support member (232) is located inside the first support member (231), it can be restricted from moving down below the catch portion (233c).
[0084] Alternatively, when the pressing portion (233a) is pressed in a direction closer to the first support member (231), the engaging portion (233c) may rotate in a direction away from the first support member (231). As the engaging portion (233c) moves away from the first support member (231), the coupling between the first support member (231) and the second support member (232) may be released. Accordingly, the second support member (232) may be detached from the first support member (231) by gravity.
[0085] Alternatively, when the pressurizing portion (233a) is released and the second support member (232) is separated from the inside of the first support member (231), the pressurizing portion (233a) may be pressed so that the pressurizing portion (233a) is fixed to the recessed portion (232b) between two adjacent protrusions (232a) of the second support member (232). The movement of the second support member (232) (232b) may be restricted by being caught.
[0086] The fixing and releasing of the first support member (232) and the second support member (232) can be easily controlled by the user not pressing, pressing, or releasing the fixing member (233). That is, by changing the length of the support member (230), the distance (h1) between the housing (200) and the ground (1) can be easily adjusted, thereby stably placing the housing (200) on the ground (1). Accordingly, the tent can be easily folded and unfolded, and the time for folding and unfolding can be saved, thereby improving the user's convenience.
[0087] The above housing (200) is opened (S200).
[0088] The above cover housing (240) can be coupled to cover or not cover the first internal space (211) opened through the rotation coupling member (250).
[0089] The above-mentioned rotating coupling member (250) can connect the body housing (210) and the cover housing (240). The housing (200) can be selectively opened and closed through the above-mentioned rotating coupling member (250). Accordingly, the housing (200) can be easily opened by the user opening the cover housing (240).
[0090] In addition, the housing (200) can be additionally opened by separating the side walls. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the housing (200) further includes a structure in which the side walls are separated, so that the air tent body (500) can be easily unfolded.
[0091] The above fixed frame (300) can be fixed to the first internal space (211) of the housing (200). The above fixed frame (300) can support the folded air tent body (500).
[0092] A plurality of height adjustment units (400) are installed on the ground (1) adjacent to the housing (200) (S300).
[0093] The height adjustment unit (400) may be stored inside the housing (200) or installed on the bottom surface of the air tent body (500) into which air is injected. The height adjustment unit (400) may adjust the height (h2) of the air tent body (500) from the ground (1). The height adjustment unit (400) may include a folding link (410), a lower block (420), an upper block (430), a strap (440), and a fastening buckle (450).
[0094] The above folding link (410) may be composed of a first frame (412) and a second frame (414) that are intersected and connected to each other and rotate relatively.
[0095] The first frame (412) and the second frame (414) may be arranged to overlap each other through the joining portion to form an 'X' shape. The first frame (412) and the second frame (414) may rotate through the joining portion, so that the angle at which the first frame and the second frame intersect may change. In other words, when the first frame (412) and the second frame (414) are rotated in an upright direction, the height (h2) supporting the air tent body (500) increases, so that the air tent body (500) rises, and when the first frame (412) and the second frame (414) are rotated in a downright direction, the height (h2) supporting the air tent body (500) decreases, so that the air tent body (500) may descend.
[0096] The lower block (420) may be mounted on the ground by being connected in a rotatable manner to the lower end of the first frame (412) included in one folding link (410) and the lower end of the second frame (414) included in an adjacent folding link (410). The lower block (420) may be composed of a plurality of pieces.
[0097] The upper block (430) is configured such that the upper end of the first frame (412) included in one folding link (410) and the upper end of the second frame (414) included in the adjacent folding link (410) are rotatable and the air tent body (500) can be installed thereon. The upper block (430) may be composed of a plurality of pieces. The upper block (430) may include an insertion hole (432) to which the strap (440) is fastened.
[0098] The strap (440) can be fastened so that one longitudinal end passes through the plurality of upper blocks (430) to form a closed loop. The strap (440) can adjust the length of the closed loop. For example, the strap (440) can adjust the length of the strap (440) that passes through four upper blocks (430) to form a square. An insertion hole (432) through which one longitudinal end of the strap (440) can pass is formed in the upper block (430), and a fastening buckle (450) to which one longitudinal end of the strap (440) is fastened can be coupled to the other longitudinal end of the strap (440).
[0099] The above-mentioned fastening buckle (450) can adjust and fix the closed loop length of the strap (440). That is, one end of the longitudinal direction of the strap (440) can be fastened so as to pass through the insertion hole (432) of each upper block (430) and then through the fastening buckle (450), as shown in FIGS. 14 to 16.
[0100] In other words, when the user pulls one end of the longitudinal direction of the strap (440) and then locks the fastening buckle (450), the distance between each upper block (430) becomes narrow, so that the first frame (412) and the second frame (414) are erected with respect to the ground (1), and accordingly, all four upper blocks (430) can rise.
[0101] Conversely, when the user releases the fastening buckle (450) and the strap (440) is released, the distance between each upper block (430) increases, so that the first frame (412) and the second frame (414) are laid down to come closer to the ground (1), and accordingly, all four upper blocks can be lowered. Accordingly, the user can adjust the closed loop length of the strap (440) by a simple operation of tightening or loosening one longitudinal end of the strap (440) passing through the fastening buckle (450), thereby changing the height (h2) of the upper block (430) supporting the air tent body (500). Accordingly, the tent can be easily folded and unfolded, and the time for folding and unfolding can be saved, so that the user's convenience can be improved.
[0102] The air tent body (500) is spread out on the height adjustment unit (400), and air is injected into the air tent body (500) (S400).
[0103] The air tent body (500) may be folded and stored inside the housing (200), or positioned above the opened housing (200) and the plurality of height adjustment units (400). When the air tent body (500) is folded and stored inside the housing (200), it may be detachably coupled to the fixed frame (300). The air tent body (500) may be expanded by injecting air, or contracted by withdrawing air. The air tent body (500) may be manufactured from a material including a synthetic resin having a softness higher than a standard value to facilitate expansion and contraction.
[0104] Meanwhile, if the air tent body (500) is made only of a flexible synthetic resin, it may be difficult to fold the air tent body (500) into a shape that matches the body housing (110). Accordingly, the air tent body (500) may additionally include a reinforcing plate (510).
[0105] The reinforcing plate (510) may be coupled to the bottom surface of the air tent body (500) to support the housing (200) and the height adjustment unit (400). The reinforcing plate (510) may be manufactured to fit the folding shape of the air tent body (500). For example, when the body housing (100) is manufactured to have an internal space in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, the reinforcing plate (510) may be formed in a square plate shape that can be inserted into the internal space of the body housing (110). In addition, the reinforcing plates (510) may be arranged in a two-row, two-column structure on the bottom surface of the air tent body (500). Accordingly, the user can simply fold the air tent body (500) according to the arrangement of the reinforcing plate (310), and the air tent body (500) is folded into a shape that matches the body housing (110), thereby improving the user's convenience in use.
[0106] When the above reinforcing plates (510) are arranged in a two-row, two-column structure, the reinforcing plates (510) may include a first reinforcing plate supporting the housing (200), and second to fourth reinforcing plates supporting the height adjustment unit (400).
[0107] The first reinforcing plate may be detachably coupled to the fixed frame (300) to support the housing (200). For example, the air tent body (500) may be coupled to the fixed frame (300) by fastening a fastening bolt and a fastening nut. Accordingly, not only can the air tent body (500) be very firmly coupled to the fixed frame (300), but it can also be easily removed from the fixed frame (300) and reassembled when cleaning or replacement is required, thereby achieving the effect of greatly facilitating maintenance.
[0108] The method for installing and dismantling a tent that is easy to fold and unfold according to an embodiment of the present application can be performed in the reverse order of the method for installing a tent that is easy to fold and unfold according to an embodiment of the present application. Accordingly, not only when setting up the tent, but also when dismantling it, the tent can be easily folded and dismantled, saving time, thereby improving efficiency and user convenience.
[0109] FIG. 17 is a perspective view for explaining how a hitch connector according to a first modified example of the present application is coupled to a hitch receiver, and FIG. 18 is a perspective view for explaining a connector frame of a hitch connector according to a first modified example of the present application.
[0110] Referring to FIGS. 17 and 18, a hitch connector (100) according to a first modified example of the present application can be coupled to the other end of the hitch receiver (20) fixed to the rear of the vehicle (10) as described above. The hitch connector (100) can include a connector frame (110), a rotating frame (130), and a holder (150).
[0111] The connector frame (110) can be coupled to the hitch receiver (20) at one end. The connector frame (110) can include a connector body (111), a guide member (112), a pivot member (113), and a first through hole (114).
[0112] The above connector body (111) may be formed to extend in the first direction (+x-axis direction). The above connector body (111) may include a shape of a square pipe with both ends open and an interior that is hollow.
[0113] The above guide member (112) may be formed as a pair spaced apart in a second direction (+y-axis direction) orthogonal to the first direction (+x-axis direction). The guide member (112) may be formed such that one end extends from the connector body (111) in a third direction (+z-axis direction) orthogonal to the first direction (+x-axis direction) and the second direction (+y-axis direction). The guide member (112) may be open in the first direction (+x-axis direction) and the third direction (+z-axis direction) and may include a hollow shape. The guide member (112) may include a sliding surface (112a).
[0114] The sliding surface (112a) may be formed to extend from each of the other ends of the pair of guide members (112). As illustrated in Fig. 18, the sliding surface (112a) may be formed to include a curved surface in a direction away from each of the pair of guide members (112).
[0115] The pivot member (113) may be formed across the empty interior of the connector body (111) in the second direction (+y-axis direction). The pivot member (113) may have a cylinder shape with a circular cross-section. The pivot member (113) may be inserted into an opening (133) of the rotation frame (130) described below.
[0116] The first through hole (114) may be formed by penetrating the connector frame (110) in the second direction (+y-axis direction). The first through hole (114) may communicate with the second through hole (134) of the rotation frame (130) to be described later. The first through hole (114) may include a first-first through hole (114a) and a first-second through hole (114b).
[0117] The above 1-1 through hole (114a) may be formed by penetrating in the second direction (+y-axis direction) at a position adjacent to the end of the connector body (111). The above 1-1 through hole (114a) may be selectively connected to the second through hole (134) of the rotation frame (130) to be described later.
[0118] The above 1-2 through hole (114b) may be formed spaced apart from the 1-1 through hole (114a). The above 1-2 through hole (114b) may be formed by penetrating in the second direction (+y-axis direction) at a position adjacent to the end of the guide member (112). The above 1-2 through hole (114b) may be selectively connected to the second through hole (134) of the rotation frame (130) to be described later.
[0119] FIG. 19 is a perspective view for explaining a rotation frame of a hitch connector according to a first modified example of the present application, and FIG. 20 is a perspective view for explaining the coupling of a connector frame and a rotation frame of a hitch connector according to a first modified example of the present application.
[0120] Referring to FIGS. 19 and 20, the rotating frame (130) may have one end inserted into the other end of the connector frame (110), and the other end fixed to the housing (200). The rotating frame (130) may rotate or be fixed relative to the connector frame (110). The rotating frame (130) may include a rotating body (131), a protruding member (132), an opening (133), and a second through hole (134).
[0121] The above-mentioned rotating body (131) may be formed to extend in the first direction (+x-axis direction). The above-mentioned rotating body (131) may include a shape of a square pipe with both ends open and an interior that is hollow.
[0122] The above protruding member (132) may be formed to extend parallel to the first direction (-x-axis direction) from the rotating body (131). The above protruding members (132) may be formed as a pair spaced apart from each other in the second direction (+y-axis direction).
[0123] The above opening (133) may be formed by opening in the first direction (-x-axis direction) at the end of the above protruding member (132). The above opening (133) may be formed by penetrating the above protruding member (132) in the above second direction (+y-axis direction).
[0124] That is, the pivot member (113) of the connector frame (110) can be inserted into the opening (133) of the rotation frame (130) in the first direction (-x-axis direction). In other words, the rotation frame (130) can be inserted into the connector frame (110) and rotate about the pivot member (113) as an axis. As a result, the rotation frame (130) can be simply inserted into the connector frame (110) through the opening (133). Accordingly, folding of the tent housing from the vehicle can be facilitated, and user convenience can be improved.
[0125] The second through hole (134) may be formed by penetrating in the second direction (+y-axis direction) at a position adjacent to the end of the rotating body (131). As described above, the second through hole (134) may be selectively connected to the first through hole (114). That is, the second through hole (134) may be connected to the first-first through hole (114a) or the first-second through hole (114b).
[0126] For example, when the connector frame (110) and the rotation frame (130) are parallel, the second through hole (134) can communicate with the first through hole (114a). In this case, a cylindrical fixing member penetrating the first through hole (114a) and the second through hole (134) can be inserted to fix the connector frame (110) and the rotation frame (130) so that they are parallel.
[0127] For another example, when the connector frame (110) and the rotation frame (130) are orthogonal, the second through hole (134) can communicate with the first-second through hole (114b). In this case, a cylindrical fixing member penetrating the first-second through hole (114b) and the second through hole (134) can be inserted to fix the connector frame (110) and the rotation frame (130) so that they are orthogonal.
[0128] Fig. 21 is a perspective view for explaining a holder of a hitch connector according to a first modified example of the present application, and Fig. 22 is a perspective view for explaining that a rotation frame of a hitch connector according to a first modified example of the present application is fixed to a holder by rotating from a connector frame.
[0129] Referring to FIGS. 21 and 22, the holder (150) can be coupled to the upper end of the connector frame (110). The holder (150) can selectively fix the connector frame (110) and the rotation frame (130). The holder (150) can include a holder body (151), a hinge member (152), an elastic member (153), and a holder housing (154).
[0130] The holder bodies (151) may be formed as a pair and connected at one end. The pair of holder bodies (151) may be formed such that the other end is spaced apart in the second direction (+y-axis direction). The distance between the pair of holder bodies (151) may be formed to be wider than the thickness of the rotating body (131). The holder bodies (151) may include a catch (151a).
[0131] The above-described catch (151a) may be formed to protrude from the other end of the pair of holder bodies (151). The pair of catch (151a) may be formed to be spaced apart from each other in the second direction (+y-axis direction). The distance between the catch (151a) may be formed to be narrower than the thickness of the rotating body (131). The catch (151a) may include an inclined surface toward between the pair of holder bodies (151).
[0132] The above hinge member (152) can be formed by penetrating one end of the holder body (151) in the third direction (+z-axis direction). That is, a pair of the holder bodies (151) can rotate with the axis of the hinge member (152) as the rotation axis.
[0133] The elastic member (153) may be placed between a pair of holder bodies (151). The holder (150) may maintain the distance between the pair of holder bodies (151) through the elastic force of the elastic member (153).
[0134] The holder housing (154) can be fixed to the upper end of the guide member (112) of the connector frame (110). The holder housing (154) can accommodate a portion of the holder body (151) excluding the catch (151a), the hinge member (152), and the elastic member (153). The holder housing (154) can limit the rotation of the holder body (151).
[0135] As a result, the rotating frame (130) can come into contact with the engaging portion (151a) of the holder body (151) when rotating in the direction of the holder (150). At this time, the rotating frame (130) can be rotated along the inclined surface of the engaging portion (151a) and inserted between the pair of holder bodies (151). The pair of holder bodies (151) can rotate with respect to each other about the hinge member (152) as an axis without leaving the holder housing (154). In the process in which the rotating frame (130) is rotated along the inclined surface of the engaging portion (151a), the distance between the pair of engaging portions (151a) can be widened by the thickness of the rotating frame (130) by the elastic member (153). In other words, when a user applies a force to rotate the rotating frame (130) in the direction of the holder (150), the rotating frame (130) can be maintained orthogonal to the connector frame (110).
[0136] In addition, after the rotating frame (130) is inserted between a pair of holder bodies (151), the distance between the pair of catches (151a) can be narrowed by the elastic member (153) to be narrower than the thickness of the rotating frame (130). In other words, after the rotating frame (130) is inserted into the holder (150), the rotating frame (130) can be fixed orthogonally to the connector frame (110) without the user having to apply any particular force. Accordingly, fixing the angle of the tent housing to the vehicle can be made easy, and the user's convenience can be improved.
[0137] Additionally, when the connector frame (110) and the rotation frame (130) are orthogonal to each other as described above, the second through hole (134) can communicate with the first-second through hole (114b). After the rotation frame (130) is inserted into the holder (150), a cylindrical fixing member penetrating the first-second through hole (114b) and the second through hole (134) can be inserted to further fix the connector frame (110) and the rotation frame (130) so as to be orthogonal to each other.
[0138] FIG. 23 is a perspective view for explaining a hitch connector according to a second modified example of the present application, and FIG. 24 is a perspective view for explaining a connector frame of a hitch connector according to a second modified example of the present application.
[0139] Referring to FIGS. 23 and 24, a hitch connector (100) according to a second modified example of the present application can be coupled to the other end of the hitch receiver (20) fixed to the rear of the vehicle (10) as described above. The hitch connector (100) can include a connector frame (120) and a rotating frame (140).
[0140] The connector frame (120) can be coupled to the hitch receiver (20) at one end. The connector frame (120) can include a connector body (121), a guide member (122), a pivot member (123), and a first through hole (124).
[0141] The above connector body (121) may be formed to extend in the first direction (+x-axis direction). The above connector body (121) may include a shape of a square pipe with both ends open and an interior that is hollow.
[0142] The above guide member (122) may be formed as a pair spaced apart in a second direction (+y-axis direction) orthogonal to the first direction (+x-axis direction). The guide member (122) may be formed such that one end extends from the connector body (121) in a third direction (+z-axis direction) orthogonal to the first direction (+x-axis direction) and the second direction (+y-axis direction). The guide member (122) may be open in the first direction (+x-axis direction) and the third direction (+z-axis direction) and may include a hollow shape. The guide member (122) may include a sliding surface (122a).
[0143] The sliding surface (122a) may be formed to extend from each of the other ends of the pair of guide members (122). As illustrated in Fig. 24, the sliding surface (122a) may be formed to include a curved surface in a direction away from each of the pair of guide members (122).
[0144] The pivot member (123) may be formed to cross the empty interior of the connector body (121) in the second direction (+y-axis direction). The pivot member (123) may have a shape of a cylinder having a circular cross-section. The pivot member (123) may be inserted into an opening (143) of the rotation frame (140) described below.
[0145] The first through hole (124) may be formed by penetrating the end of the guide member (122) in the second direction (+y-axis direction). The first through hole (124) may optionally communicate with the second through hole (144) of the rotating frame (140) to be described later.
[0146] FIG. 25 is a perspective view for explaining a rotating frame of a hitch connector according to a second modified example of the present application, FIG. 26 is a perspective view for explaining that the connector frame and the rotating frame of the hitch connector according to the second modified example of the present application are coupled, FIG. 27 is a cross-sectional view for explaining an elastic member arranged inside the rotating frame of the hitch connector according to the second modified example of the present application, FIG. 28 is a perspective view for explaining that the rotating frame is fixed in a state perpendicular to the connector frame of the hitch connector according to the second modified example of the present application, and FIG. 29 is a cross-sectional view for explaining that an elastic member arranged inside the connector frame of the hitch connector according to the second modified example of the present application is fixed to the rotating frame.
[0147] Referring to FIGS. 25 to 29, one end of the rotating frame (140) can be inserted into the other end of the connector frame (120), and the other end can be fixed to the housing (200). The rotating frame (140) can rotate or be fixed with respect to the connector frame (120). The rotating frame (140) can include a rotating body (141), a protruding member (142), an opening (143), a second through hole (144), and an elastic member (145).
[0148] The above-mentioned rotating body (141) may be formed to extend in the first direction (+x-axis direction). The above-mentioned rotating body (141) may include a shape of a square pipe with both ends open and an interior that is hollow.
[0149] The above protruding member (142) may be formed to extend parallel to the first direction (-x-axis direction) from the rotating body (141). The above protruding members (142) may be formed as a pair spaced apart from each other in the second direction (+y-axis direction).
[0150] The above opening (143) may be formed by opening in the first direction (-x-axis direction) at the end of the above protruding member (142). The above opening (143) may be formed by penetrating the above protruding member (142) in the above second direction (+y-axis direction).
[0151] Likewise, the pivot member (123) of the connector frame (120) can be inserted into the opening (143) of the rotation frame (140) in the first direction (-x-axis direction). In other words, the rotation frame (140) can be inserted into the connector frame (120) and rotate about the pivot member (123) as an axis. As a result, the rotation frame (140) can be simply inserted into the connector frame (120) through the opening (143). Accordingly, folding of the housing (200) from the vehicle (10) can be facilitated, and user convenience can be improved.
[0152] The second through hole (144) may be formed by penetrating the rotating body (141) in the second direction (+y-axis direction). The second through hole (144) may be formed at a position corresponding to the first through hole (122). As described above, the second through hole (144) may be selectively connected to the first through hole (124).
[0153] The elastic member (145) may be placed in the empty internal space of the rotating body (141). The elastic member (145) may have an elastic restoring force in the second direction (±y-axis direction), and at least a portion of the elastic member (145) may protrude to the outside of the rotating frame (140) through the second through hole (144). The elastic member (145) may include a U-shaped plate spring, as illustrated in FIG. 29.
[0154] In other words, when the pivot member (123) of the connector frame (120) is inserted into the opening (143) of the connector frame (120), the rotating body (141) of the rotating frame (140) can rotate along the guide member (122) of the connector frame (120). In the process of the rotating frame (130) rotating along the guide member (122), at least a portion of the elastic member (145) protruding through the second through hole (144) can be compressed by the guide member (122).
[0155] For example, when the first through hole (124) and the second through hole (144) are connected while the rotating frame (140) is perpendicular to the connector frame (120), the compressed elastic member (145) can be returned to its original state. At this time, at least a portion of the elastic member (145) protruding through the second through hole (144) can be inserted into the first through hole (124). As a result, the rotating frame (140) can be fixed perpendicular to the connector frame (120) by the elastic force of the elastic member (145). Accordingly, fixing the angle of the tent housing to the vehicle can be facilitated, and the user's convenience can be improved.
[0156] The connector frame (120) and the rotation frame (140) may each further include auxiliary through holes. As illustrated in FIG. 28, the auxiliary through hole of the connector frame (120) and the auxiliary through hole of the rotation frame (140) are arranged to communicate at a desired position, and a cylindrical fixing member penetrating through the auxiliary through hole of the connector frame (120) and the auxiliary through hole of the rotation frame (140) is inserted to fix the connector frame (110) and the rotation frame (130) at a desired angle. Accordingly, the angle of the tent housing with respect to the vehicle can be easily fixed, and the user's convenience can be improved.
[0157] Fig. 30 is a plan view for explaining a modified example of an elastic member among hitch connectors according to a second modified example of the present application.
[0158] Referring to Fig. 30, an elastic member (145) according to a modified example of the second modified example of the present application may likewise be placed in the empty internal space of the rotating body (141). The elastic member (145) may have an elastic restoring force in the second direction (±y-axis direction), and at least a portion of the elastic member (145) may protrude to the outside of the rotating frame (140) through the second through hole (144). The elastic member (145) may include a torsion spring.
[0159] As a result, the rotating frame (140) can be easily fixed orthogonally to the connector frame (120) by the elastic force of the elastic member (145). Accordingly, the angle of the tent housing relative to the vehicle can be easily fixed, and the user's convenience can be improved.
[0160] Figures 31 to 36 are drawings for explaining a tent that is easy to fold and unfold and a method for installing the same, to which an embodiment of the present application is applied.
[0161] Referring to FIGS. 31 to 36, a tent that is easy to fold and unfold, to which an embodiment of the present application is applied, can be packed and transported in a main body case. The method for installing the tent may include the steps of opening an opening / closing door located at the bottom of the housing, unfolding a tent support leg, tilting a hitch-connection bracket after removing a fixing bolt and a safety pin, reattaching the safety pin to the housing to secure the tent to the ground, opening a cover, opening a side panel, arranging a tent support leg, unfolding the tent to inject air, and pulling a strap to adjust the height of the leg.
[0162] The above tent support legs may include a mechanism that lowers them to the ground when the handle is pressed and fixes the length when the handle is released.
[0163] The above cover is connected with a knob bolt and can be removed as needed.
[0164] A method of detaching the tent from the vehicle may include the steps of removing a fixing bolt of a hitch receiver and tilting a hitch bracket of the main body.
[0165] The step of connecting the above tent to a vehicle hitch receiver and storing it at the rear of the vehicle may include the steps of transporting the main body and slidingly connecting it to the vehicle hitch bracket (including the sliding surface of the hitch connecting bracket to the vehicle hitch bracket), the step of pushing the main body after connecting it to make it adhere to the vehicle hitch bracket, the step of pressing the safety pin to the limit surface of the vehicle hitch bracket, and the step of lifting the main body, tilting it 90 degrees, and then fixing it with a connecting bolt.
[0166] This tent can be easily and quickly attached and detached from the hitch receiver. It features a durable TPU air mattress and an air frame that provides a spacious and comfortable space. It can be set up in just three minutes by simply inflating the air. Furthermore, the tent is not installed directly on the ground, but rather, the air mattress is installed at a certain height above the ground. This allows for warm air to circulate inside the tent and prevents condensation, even in cold winter weather. Furthermore, the tent is ladder-free, easy to transport, and lightweight, making it simple to use. This reduces the hassle of setting up and dismantling the tent, allowing users to enjoy a more leisurely camping experience.
