Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a quick-locking and limiting device for folding space frames, belonging to the field of folding space frame technology. Specifically, it relates to a locking and limiting device that can be quickly installed and has a self-locking function. Background Technology
[0002] Folding mesh frames are widely used in outdoor tent frames due to their convenient transportation, easy assembly and disassembly. Because the folding mesh frame structures of some large tents are quite bulky, they are often divided into multiple modules for assembly during production. Currently, folding mesh frames are generally connected by the interlocking of hubs and rods to form basic rotating support modules. These basic modules are then connected together using connectors to complete the assembly of the folding mesh frame. Existing connectors typically use bolts to connect the hubs of two basic modules. Furthermore, to ensure the stability of the folding mesh frame, assemblers need to exert considerable effort to tighten these bolts. Since there are many assembly points for folding mesh frames, using bolt connections is time-consuming and labor-intensive, easily causing fatigue for assemblers and resulting in a slow assembly speed.
[0003] CN211369763U discloses a semi-rigid prefabricated folding space frame structure, including an arched space frame main body and two arched space frame portals. The arched space frame main body includes an arched space frame base module. Both the arched space frame base module and the arched space frame portals are assembled from hubs and rods. The arched space frame base module and the arched space frame portals, as well as two adjacent arched space frame base modules, are connected by multiple semi-rigid connectors. Multiple hubs on both sides of the arched space frame base module and multiple hubs on one side of the arched space frame portals are equipped with locking components. The folding space frame connects the hubs on the two base modules through semi-rigid connectors and is then locked with locking components consisting of studs and fastening nuts. Assembly is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and assembly personnel are prone to fatigue, resulting in a slow assembly speed for the space frame. Summary of the Invention

[0093] Preferably, the self-locking steel column (4) is made of stainless steel. Stainless steel, as defined in GB / T20878-2007, is steel with rust resistance and corrosion resistance as its main characteristics, and has a chromium content of at least 10.5% and a carbon content of no more than 1.2%.
[0094] Preferably, the steel bowl (11) is made of stainless steel.
[0095] In use, initially, the steel cage (10) is located at the bottom of the steel bowl (11), and the compression spring (9) is in a slightly compressed state. The other end of the self-locking steel column (4) is inserted into the three steel balls (15) inside the steel cage (10) through the steel column guide hole (21), guide groove (22), steel bowl reserved hole (24), and steel cage reserved hole (25) in sequence. The self-locking steel column (4) is pushed forward. Under the push of the conical surface at the other end of the self-locking steel column (4), the steel balls (15) roll upward in the steel cage hole (19). After reaching the partition plate (18), they drive the steel cage (10) and the partition plate (18) to move in the steel bowl (11). 1) Slide inwards while compressing the compression spring (9). When the compression spring (9) reaches a large compression state, it stops compressing. Under the combined action of the cone surface reaction force of the self-locking steel column (4), the inner wall reaction force of the steel bowl (11), and the downward pressure of the partition plate (18), and under the limit of the steel cage hole (19), the steel ball (15) remains relatively stationary and continues to advance the self-locking steel column (4). The other end of the self-locking steel column (4) passes through the partition plate reserved hole (26), the compression spring (9), the plastic bowl reserved hole (23), and the top plate reserved hole (2) in sequence and moves upwards. The column body of the self-locking steel column (4) and the steel When the ball (15) comes into contact with the self-locking steel column (4), the partition plate (18), and the inner wall of the steel bowl (11), the ball (15) remains in contact with the self-locking steel column (4). Simultaneously, due to the friction of the self-locking steel column (4), the ball (15) continues to rotate as the self-locking steel column (4) is inserted. The horizontal distance between the three balls (15) gradually increases to its maximum and remains in this state. The compression spring (9) is in a compressed state, ensuring that the partition plate (18) always exerts downward pressure on the ball (15). If the self-locking steel column (4) is pulled out, it will inevitably cause the ball (15) to rotate slightly downwards in the opposite direction. As the ball rolls, the horizontal spacing between the three steel balls (15) will decrease, meaning that the steel balls (15) will be pressed more firmly between the self-locking steel column (4) and the steel bowl (11), and the degree of compaction will increase as the pull-out force of the self-locking steel column (4) increases. Then the pressure between the steel balls (15) and the self-locking steel column (4) will increase infinitely, which will lead to an infinite increase in static friction. The combined force of the upward static friction of the three steel balls (15) and the self-locking steel column (4) can cancel out the downward pull-out force of the self-locking steel column (4), thereby achieving the removal and locking of the self-locking steel column (4) and realizing the stable connection between the upper hub assembly and the lower hub assembly.
[0096] When disassembly is required, simply place the magnet above the device and use the magnetic attraction to move the steel ball (15) and the steel cage (10) upwards, increasing the distance between the steel ball (15), and then pull out the self-locking steel column (4). Example 2
[0097] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: the partition plate (18) is provided with an unlocking pull rope (27), the two ends of the unlocking pull rope (27) are respectively connected to the two side plates of the partition plate (18), the top plate (1) of the upper hub plate has a rope hole, and the unlocking pull rope (27) extends to the outside of the upper hub plate through the rope hole; when in use, when disassembly is required, simply pull the unlocking pull rope (27) to move the steel ball (15) and the steel cage (10) upward, so that the distance between the steel ball (15) increases, and then pull out the self-locking steel column (4), without the need to carry an additional magnetic suction device, making it more convenient to use; Example 3
[0098] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: the top of the plastic bowl (8) is provided with a buffer pad (28), the buffer pad (28) is made of rubber material, the buffer pad (28) is a circular structure, and the diameter of the buffer pad (28) is larger than the diameter of the reserved hole (23) of the plastic bowl; when in use, the buffer pad (28) can buffer and limit the self-locking steel column (4) when it is inserted, preventing the self-locking steel column (4) from being inserted too quickly so that the steel ball (15) cannot reach the locking position and thus affect the stability of the folding frame;
[0099] The design of the bottom plate of the steel cage (10) having a diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the bottom of the steel bowl (11) enables the partition plate (18) and the side wall of the bottom of the steel bowl (11) to limit the steel ball (15) under the slight compression reaction force of the compression spring (9) in the initial state, thus preventing the steel ball (15) from leaking out.
[0100] The design of the steel bowl groove (20) with its width gradually increasing from the bottom to the opening can adapt to the shape of the steel bowl (11), making it easier for the steel bowl (11) to be installed in the steel bowl groove (20);
[0101] The design of the inner diameter of the steel column guide hole (21) gradually increasing from one end to the other can guide the self-locking steel column (4) so that the self-locking steel column (4) can be inserted between the three steel balls (15) in the steel cage (10).
[0102] The design of the steel cage hole (19) being slightly wider than the diameter of the steel ball (15) facilitates the filling of the steel ball (15) and does not obstruct the contact between the steel column and the inner wall of the steel bowl (11) during the insertion of the self-locking steel column (4).
[0103] The design of the inner diameter of the steel bowl (11) gradually increases from the bottom to the mouth of the bowl. After the horizontal distance between the three steel balls (15) reaches the maximum, it can cooperate with the self-locking steel column (4) to form a self-locking structure, thereby realizing a stable connection between the upper hub plate assembly and the lower hub plate assembly.
[0104] The purpose of connecting the upper and lower hubs of the folding frame by inserting the self-locking steel column (4) into the locking assembly of the upper hub is achieved. Under the elastic force of the compression spring (9), the steel ball (15) and the steel cup (11) lock the self-locking steel column (4) in place.
[0105] It should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "placed," "installed," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly.
