The multifunctional double-layer lift-type vehicle-mounted tent of the present invention is mainly used for being mounted on a rear hopper of a pickup truck. The base frame is mounted on the rear hopper of the automobile. When in a folded state, the space between the first top frame and the rear hopper of the automobile can be used for storing luggages. A first activity space is formed between the first top frame and the rear hopper of the automobile after the unfolding, and a second activity space is formed between the first top frame and the second top frame, namely, an upper and lower double-layer activity space is formed.
In the present invention, two scissor-type lifting frames in a group of linked lifting frames share one drive mechanism, which greatly saves the arrangement of parts and makes the whole multifunctional double-layer lift-type vehicle-mounted tent structure simpler.
In addition, the folding ladder connected with the base frame and the first top frame is unfolded while the first top frame is raised, and is supported between the base frame and the first top frame, so that the user can climb and it can serve as a supporting member to improve the stability of the integral structure of the multifunctional double-layer lift-type vehicle-mounted tent.
The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

With particular reference to
When the first top frame 2 rises, the second ladder frame 72 is driven to unfold relative to the first ladder frame 71. At this moment, the first ladder frame 71 and the second ladder frame 72 are not fully unfolded, and the included angle between the two does not reach 180°. The manual pressing is required to enable the first ladder frame 71 and the second ladder frame 72 to fully expand to the included angle of 180°. At this moment, the contact switch 16 at the front end of the first ladder frame 71 contacts the front part of the multifunctional double-layer lift-type vehicle-mounted tent or the vehicle body to trigger the switch, so that the folding ladder 7 is automatically locked and the whole folding ladder cannot be folded at will. If the folding ladder 7 needs to be folded, the locking device is unlocked firstly, and the ladder frame is pulled outwards to make the ladder frame slightly folded, so that the ladder frame does not contact the contact switch 16, and the unlocked first ladder frame 71 and second ladder frame 72 may be folded downwards following the first top frame 2. The unfolded climbing ladder can be used for the user to climb, and also serves to support the base frame 1 and the first top frame 2, thereby improving the stability of the multifunctional double-layer lift-type vehicle-mounted tent structure. On the contrary, when the first top frame 2 descends, the second ladder frame 72 is driven to be folded with respect to the first ladder frame 71, and the whole folding ladder 7 is folded between the base frame 1 and the first top frame 2, so as to reduce the occupation of the roof space, and at the same time reduce the wind resistance during driving and improve driving safety.
