Abstract

The present invention relates to a camping house having an expandable camping space and, more specifically, to a multi-stage camping house capable of expanding a living space by withdrawing an auxiliary chamber that is in a main chamber in which the living space is formed, and coupling an auxiliary support supporting the auxiliary chamber to a main support supporting the main chamber to be foldable, and thus, the volume can be minimized so as to improve convenience in transportation, and installation of the multi-stage camping house can be carried out simply.

Claims (29)

1 . A multi-stage camping house, comprising:

a main chamber ( 100 ) configured to form a camping space in a hollow interior thereof, to be supported by a vertically arranged fixing column ( 110 ), to be provided with a roof ( 140 ) that is lifted up and down by an elevating column ( 120 ) provided inside the fixing column ( 110 ) at a upper part thereof, and to be provided with a bed frame ( 130 ) that folds vertically or horizontally on both sides thereof; and

an auxiliary chamber ( 200 ) configured to expand the camping space while being pulled out from the inside to the outside the main chamber ( 100 ), to be provided with a hollow interior communicating with an inner space of the main chamber ( 100 ) and which is provided with a chamber wheel ( 210 ) for movement at a bottom thereof;

wherein the fixing column ( 110 ) has a vertical elevating groove ( 111 ) and a fall prevention bar ( 112 ) that is in contact with a protrusion ( 121 ) formed in the lower part of the elevating column ( 120 ) and moving up and down along the elevating groove ( 111 ) to prevent downward movement of the elevating column ( 120 ),

wherein an upper railing ( 126 ) and a lower railing ( 124 ) that slide up and down along the longitudinal direction of the elevating column ( 120 ) are provided on the outer surface of the elevating column ( 120 ),

wherein a plurality of spokes ( 127 ) connected to an upper railing ( 126 ) and a lower railing ( 124 ) provided on another adjacent elevator column ( 120 ) are attached to the upper railing ( 126 ) and the lower railing ( 124 );

wherein the elevator column ( 120 ) is provided and protruded with an upper elevator ( 123 ) that contacts the upper railing ( 126 ) to raise and lower the upper railing ( 126 ), and a lower elevator ( 122 ) that contacts the lower railing ( 124 ) to raise and lower the lower railing ( 124 ), and

wherein the lower railing ( 124 ) has a space separated for the upper elevator ( 123 ) to pass through.

2 . The multi-stage camping house of claim 1 ,

comprising: a main support ( 500 ) being disposed at the lower part of the main chamber ( 100 ), having a rail surface in contact with the chamber wheel ( 210 ), being located inside the fixing column ( 110 ), and having a hinge ( 510 ) coupled to the outer surface of an end thereof; and

an auxiliary support ( 400 ) supporting the auxiliary chamber ( 200 ) from the bottom, having a rail surface in contact with the chamber wheel ( 210 ), and having a rotation hinge ( 410 ) coupled to rotate on the hinge ( 510 ).

3 . The multi-stage camping house of claim 2 ,

wherein an extension support ( 420 ) supports the auxiliary chamber ( 200 ) from below, is folded at the end of the auxiliary support ( 400 ) by an extension hinge ( 421 ), and has a fixing protrusion ( 422 ) protruding outward at a upper part thereof, and the auxiliary support ( 400 ), and the extension support ( 420 ) are fixed in a vertically folded state while the fixing protrusion ( 422 ) is inserted into the support fixing groove ( 113 ) formed on the fixing column ( 110 ).

4 . The multi-stage camping house of claim 2 ,

wherein the rotation hinge ( 410 ) of the auxiliary support ( 400 ) is formed to be round, and when the auxiliary support ( 400 ) is unfolded horizontally, a rail surface of the main support ( 500 ) and a rail surface of the auxiliary support ( 400 ) are formed at the same height.

5 . The multi-stage camping house of claim 1 ,

wherein the auxiliary chamber ( 200 ) has an extended floor ( 230 ) that extends to the outside of the auxiliary chamber ( 200 ) to form a bottom surface and is provided on the inside of the eaves ( 220 ) forming a side wall of the auxiliary chamber ( 200 ), and

wherein the extended floor ( 230 ) includes a floor wheel ( 231 ) that rolls on a floor rail ( 240 ) formed in the lower part of the auxiliary chamber ( 200 ); and a folding plate ( 233 ) that is folded and connected to the extended floor ( 230 ) by a floor hinge ( 234 ) to form a bottom surface.

6 . The multi-stage camping house of claim 5 ,

wherein a stopper ( 232 ) formed on the floor wheel ( 231 ) is hung on a stop stand ( 250 ) formed higher than the height of the floor rail ( 240 ) so that the extended floor ( 230 ) is fixed in the unfolded state.

7 . The multi-stage camping house of claim 6 ,

wherein a bottom surface of the extended floor ( 230 ) in the unfolded state is formed at the same height as a bottom surface of the auxiliary chamber ( 200 ), and the height when the folding plate ( 233 ) and the extended floor ( 230 ) are folded is lower than the height of a window ( 221 ) provided in the eaves ( 220 ).

8 . The multi-stage camping house of claim 1 ,

wherein the main chamber ( 100 ) is provided with a single rotating shaft ( 300 ) on one side, in which a pair of first sprocket wheels ( 310 ) arranged in a horizontal direction are formed and a pair of second sprocket wheels ( 320 ) are formed outside the first sprocket wheels ( 310 ), and

wherein a protrusion ( 121 ) on which a chain ( 330 ) engaged with the first sprocket wheels ( 310 ) or the second sprocket wheels ( 320 ) is fixed is formed at a lower part of the elevating column ( 120 ).

9 . The multi-stage camping house of claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of spokes ( 127 ) respectively attached to the upper railing ( 126 ) and the lower railing ( 124 ) are arranged vertically.

10 . The multi-stage camping house of claim 8 ,
