The tent includes a tent frame (pole) and a tarpaulin, and the tarpaulin is connected under the tent frame. The awning includes an awning frame (pole) and a tarpaulin, and the tarpaulin is covered on the awning frame.

[0003] The existing awning frame includes a top connection seat and a plurality of frame rod groups. The frame rod group includes a column, a awning rod group and a strut. A fixed seat is fixedly provided on the top of the column, and a sliding seat is provided on the column. The awning rod group includes a first awning rod and a second awning rod, the inner end of the first awning rod is rotatably connected to the top connection seat, the inner end of the second awning rod is rotatably connected to the outer end of the first awning rod, and the outer end of the second awning rod is rotatably connected to the fixed seat. The lower end of the strut is rotatably connected to the sliding seat, and the upper end is rotatably connected to the second awning rod. A scissor mechanism is also provided between the fixed seat and the sliding seat of each adjacent column, and the scissor mechanism includes at least one scissor unit. In order to keep the awning frame in the unfolded state, a locking mechanism needs to be provided between the sliding seat and the column of each column. Therefore, it has the following shortcomings: first, when folding, the locking mechanism of each column needs to be loosened, the steps are cumbersome, and it is inconvenient to open or fold; second, when opening, it is necessary to push the slide seat up relative to each column. In order to ensure that multiple columns push the slide seats up synchronously, multiple people may be required to operate together, and it is necessary to confirm whether each locking mechanism is in a locked state, the steps are cumbersome, and it is inconvenient to open or fold.

[0004] In view of the above shortcomings, some people have proposed solutions, such as:
