In an embodiment, the connecting section is adapted to a shape of the car tailgate.
In an embodiment, a number of the nesting layer is two, the two nesting layers are respectively provided on two corners of the connecting section facing away from the epitaxial section, and the two nesting layers are nested on two corners of a side of the car tailgate close to a car body.
In an embodiment, a number of the nesting layer is four, the four nesting layers are respectively provided on four corners of the connecting section, and the four nesting layers are nested on four corners of the car tailgate.
In an embodiment, the nesting layer is connected to a main body of the canopy to form a nesting area with a pocket-like structure at the connecting section, and the nesting area is nested on the corner of the car tailgate.
In an embodiment, a connecting ring is provided on a corner of the epitaxial section facing away from the connecting section, and the epitaxial section is connected to the upright pole through a rope and the connecting ring.
In an embodiment, a shape of the epitaxial section is a triangle, a quadrilateral, or a pentagon.
In an embodiment, a number of the upright pole is not less than one.
During the use of the canopy tent based on the car tailgate by the disclosure, first, the car tailgate is opened to a certain height, then the nesting area of the connecting section is nested on the corner of the car tailgate, then the connecting section is covered on an outside of the car tailgate, and the epitaxial section extends outward and unfolds from a side of the car tailgate facing away from the car body. At the same time, the upright pole is set up at a designated position, and the connecting ring on the corner of the epitaxial section is connected to the upright pole through the rope. After the epitaxial section is unfolded, it forms a larger sheltered area at the rear of the car, which provides shade and rain protection for the drivers and passengers.
Compared to the related art, the embodiment of the disclosure mainly has the following beneficial effects:
In the canopy tent based on the car tailgate by the disclosure, after the car tailgate is opened, the corner of the connecting section is nested on the corner of the car tailgate facing away from the rear of the car; the upright pole cooperates with the car tailgate to spread the canopy to form a sheltered area at the rear of the car. The car tailgate is used as two support points of the canopy tent, and the canopy tent is set up in coordination with the external upright pole, which not only reduces the number of the upright pole carried and minimizes the space occupied in the car, but also decreases the number of the upright pole required for setup, which facilitates the rapid setup of the canopy tent. The two support points provided by the car tailgate reduce the difficulty of setup and improve the efficiency, thereby offering a better user experience for the drivers and passengers.

In the disclosure, the canopy tent based on the car tailgate includes two parts: the connecting section 110 and the epitaxial section 120. The connecting section 110 forms two connection points by connecting with the car tailgate 410. The epitaxial section 120 serves as a main shading part, responsible for forming a shading area. A size and a shape of the epitaxial section 120 are not limited and can be customized as needed. The shape of the epitaxial section 120 can be a triangular, a quadrilateral, or a pentagonal. A number of the upright pole 200 can also be set to one, two, or more as required.
In the embodiment, the nesting layer 300, after being connected to a main body of the canopy 100, is provided with a nesting area 140 on a side of the connecting section 110 facing away from the epitaxial section 120. The nesting area 140 forms a pocket-like structure, and during assembly, the nesting area 140 is nested on a corner on a side of the car tailgate 410 close to a car window to complete the connection of the connecting section 110 with a car body.
A number of the nesting layer 300 is also four, the four nesting layers 300 are disposed at four corners of the connecting section 110, and a number of the nesting area 140 formed on the connecting section 110 is four. The four nesting areas 140 are nested on four different corners of the car tailgate 410 to form a fixed structure, completing the connection of the connecting section 110 with the car body.
In the disclosure, the car tailgate 410 is an electric tailgate. After the car tailgate 410 is opened, the motor will generate a limiter to prevent the car tailgate 410 from being closed, which is not suitable for the car tailgate 410 with common mechanical structure. When the car tailgate 410 is opened, the nesting area 140, which is set on the connecting section 110, is nested on the corner of the car tailgate 410. After that, the epitaxial section 120 is unfolded, and a corner of the epitaxial section 120 is connected to the pre-set upright pole 200, completing the setup work of the canopy tent based on the car tailgate.
In the embodiment, a connection ring 130 is provided on the corner of the epitaxial section 120, which faces away from the connecting section 110. The connection ring 130 is the related art, and the connection ring 130 is connected to a top of the upright pole 200 through a rope.
In the embodiment, the upright pole 200 is the related art and is erected on an outside of the car tailgate 410. As mentioned above, the number of the upright pole 200 is configured according to the shape of the epitaxial section 120, and the general configuration is no less than one.
During the use of the disclosure, first, the car tailgate 410 is opened to a certain height. Then, the nesting area 140 of the connecting section 110 is nested on the corner of the car tailgate 410. Next, the connecting section 110 is covered on the outside of the car tailgate 410, and the epitaxial section 120 extends outward and unfolds from a side of the car tailgate 410 facing away from the car body. At the same time, the upright pole 200 is set up at a designated position, and the connection ring 130 on the corner of the epitaxial section 120 is connected to the upright pole 200 through the rope. After the epitaxial section 120 is unfolded, a larger sheltered area is formed at the rear of the car, providing shade and rain protection for the drivers and passengers.
