Wherein, this companion guarantee tent includes: a vehicle body 100 and a link mechanism 200. The vehicle body 100 is a main body part of the accompanying security tent, and in the case that the vehicle body 100 is arranged in the normal position, wheels 101 are arranged on the bottom surface of the vehicle body 100, one or a plurality of wheels 101 can be arranged according to the requirement, and a containing groove 102 is formed on the top surface of the vehicle body 100. The linkage mechanism 200 is attached to the vehicle body 100, and the linkage mechanism 200 extends from the bottom surface of the vehicle body 100 to above the top surface of the vehicle body 100.

In the case where the concomitant assurance tent is in the first configuration, as shown in fig. 1, the vehicle body 100 is set upright, the vehicle body 100 is set on the ground by the wheels 101, and the accommodation groove 102 is set for articles. In this case, with the tent secured as a camping car, the accommodating groove 102 can be provided with a first-aid kit or other articles by a user, and the link mechanism 200 can be used as a cart bar of the camping car.

In the case where the concomitant assurance tent is in the second configuration, as shown in fig. 2, the vehicle body 100 is inverted, the vehicle body 100 is used for being inserted on the ground through the link mechanism 200, and the accommodation groove 102 cooperates with the vehicle body 100 for sunshade. At this time, the tent is used as a tent, the accommodating groove 102 is matched with the car body 100 for shading, the link mechanism 200 is inserted on the ground, and the tent is used as a supporting structure of the tent.

Thus, when a user needs to load an article using the concomitant security tent, the vehicle body 100 can be controlled to be set up as shown in fig. 1, and the vehicle body 100 can be set up on the ground through the wheels 101.
