Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the priority and benefit of Chinese patent application number CN202422676518.9, titled “Transparent Roof Tent” and filed Nov. 1, 2024 with China National Intellectual Property Administration, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD This application relates to the technical field of tents, and more particularly relates to a transparent roof tent. BACKGROUND As a new type of outdoor camping, rooftop tents have been increasingly favored by self-driving tourists. Tents may be set up on the ground. But firstly, they are troublesome to set up and take down, which is time-consuming and laborious; secondly, the ground moisture and rainwater may invade, and insects and other animals may invade, which is not safe; thirdly, the ground mat used is thin and not comfortable. The roof tent, however, is installed on the roof of the vehicle, which is ventilated, waterproof, insect-proof, and thus safe. It can also be opened and closed quickly, thereby saving time and effort. For the time being, the top of the roof tent may be opaque, and most of them may be designed with windows on the tent fabric on both sides, which results in that the user cannot see the outside sky when lying in the tent when using the roof tent, thus affecting the user experience. SUMMARY In view of the above, it is therefore one purpose of this application to provide a transparent roof tent, so that users can see the outside sky inside the tent, improving the user experience.
