[0007] Preferably, the driving component includes a spring support plate, one end of which is fixed to the inner wall of one side of the side opening, one side of which extends into the interior of the connecting pipe, and a guide block is fixed to the other side of the spring support plate. A guide groove is provided at the bottom of the protective plate, and the guide block is slidably connected inside the guide groove.

[0008] Preferably, the lifting component includes a movable column, one side of which is concave, and a rotating block is rotatably connected inside the movable column. A lifting spring is fixed to one side of the rotating block, and one end of the lifting spring is fixed to one side of the fixing ring.

[0009] Preferably, a hexagonal groove is provided on the other side of the movable column, and the hexagonal block is engaged inside the hexagonal groove. Two locking blocks are fixed on the outer surface of the movable column near one edge. Z-shaped grooves are provided on both inner walls of the connecting pipe, and the two locking blocks are engaged inside the Z-shaped grooves.

[0010] Preferably, the positioning component includes a rotating disk, a retaining ring is fixed on one side of the rotating disk near the edge, the retaining ring engages with the outer surface of one side of the fixed ring, a waist-shaped groove is formed on one side of the retaining ring, and a rubber ring is fixed on one side of the retaining ring near the edge of the outer surface, and one side of the rubber ring is in contact with the outer surface of one side of the movable column.

[0011] Preferably, each of the inner bottom surfaces of the multiple fitting grooves is provided with a guide hole near one edge, and each of the multiple guide holes extends into the interior of the connecting pipe and extends to the inner side of the fixing ring. One side of the fixing ring is provided with multiple through holes that extend into the interior of the guide holes.

[0012] Preferably, each of the plurality of guide holes is slidably connected to a positioning rod, and each of the plurality of positioning rods is fixed with a lever on its outer surface. Each of the plurality of levers is slidably connected to the inside of the through opening, and one end of each of the plurality of levers extends into the inside of the waist-shaped groove.

[0013] The present invention also provides a tent, including the pole frame assembly of the modular tent as described above.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] 1. When using, first place the connecting tube at the tent's connecting strip, then insert the connecting rod along the edge of the tent to support it. Finally, insert the insert rod on the connecting rod into the connecting tube. When inserting it into the connecting tube, press the lifting component towards the connecting tube. This will cause the driving component to drive the reinforcing component to reinforce the joint between the connecting tube and the connecting rod, increasing the strength of the joint. At the same time, when pressing the lifting component to the bottom, rotating the connecting rod will drive the positioning component to position the reinforcing component and prevent slippage.

[0016] 2. When the lifting component is working, the hexagonal block on the insertion rod and the hexagonal slot on the movable column engage with each other to complete the docking with the lifting component. Then, since the movable column on the lifting component is in the initial position, the two blocks are engaged at one corner of the Z-shaped groove. At this time, it is necessary to rotate the docking rod to drive the movable column to rotate so that the blocks are rotated into the vertical slot of the Z-shaped groove. Then, pressing the movable column into the connecting tube will cause the lifting spring to retract. At the same time, as the movable column slides down, one side of the spring support plate moves into the connecting tube, which will drive the protective plate into the fitting groove. After retraction, the anti-slip plate can be engaged in the slot.

[0017] 3. When the locking block on the movable column slides to the bottom of the vertical groove of the Z-shaped groove, the bottom of the movable column and one side of the rubber ring press against each other. At this time, rotating the docking rod can drive the rotating disk to rotate through the mutual pressing of the movable column and the rubber ring. When the rotating disk rotates, the interlocking of the waist-shaped groove and the lever can drive the positioning rod to extend and retract inside the guide hole, so that one end of the positioning rod is locked inside the positioning hole, thereby positioning the protective plate.

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides a technical solution: a pole frame assembly for a modular tent, including a connecting tube 1. The outer surface of the connecting tube 1 is provided with a plurality of fitting grooves 8 at equal intervals along the circumferential direction. Each of the plurality of fitting grooves 8 is provided with a reinforcing member inside. The bottom surface of each of the plurality of fitting grooves 8 is provided with a side opening 22 that penetrates into the interior of the connecting tube 1. Each of the plurality of side openings 22 is provided with a driving member inside. A fixing ring 15 is fixed between the inner walls of the connecting tube 1, and a positioning component is provided on the fixing ring 15.

[0027] A connecting rod 4 is provided on one side of the connecting pipe 1. A slot 5 is provided on the outer surface of the connecting rod 4. An insert rod 6 is fixed at one end of the connecting rod 4. The insert rod 6 is slidably connected inside the connecting pipe 1. A hexagonal block 7 is fixed at one end of the insert rod 6. A lifting component is provided inside the connecting pipe 1. An inclined surface 21 is provided on the outer surface of the connecting pipe 1 near the two side edges.

[0028] The effect achieved is as follows: first, the connecting pipe 1 is placed at the connecting fabric strip of the tent; then, the connecting rod 4 is inserted along the edge of the tent to support it; finally, the insertion rod 6 on the connecting rod 4 is inserted into the connecting pipe 1. When inserted into the connecting pipe 1, the lifting component is pressed towards one side of the connecting pipe 1, which allows the driving component to drive the reinforcing component to reinforce the joint between the connecting pipe 1 and the connecting rod 4, improving the strength of the joint. At the same time, when the lifting component is pressed to the bottom, rotating the connecting rod 4 can drive the positioning component through the lifting component to position the reinforcing component and prevent slippage.

[0029] like Figure 2-6 As shown, the reinforcing member includes a protective plate 2. A positioning hole 14 is provided on the outer surface of the protective plate 2 near one edge. A storage groove 9 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the fitting groove 8. A support rod 10 is rotatably connected to one inner wall of the storage groove 9. The other end of the support rod 10 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the protective plate 2. The protective plate 2 is correspondingly engaged inside the fitting groove 8. An anti-slip piece 3 is fixed on the inner bottom surface of the protective plate 2 near the other edge. The anti-slip piece 3 is engaged inside the slot 5.

[0030] The effect achieved is that by snapping the protective plate 2 into the inside of the fitting groove 8, the joint can be strengthened, and the protective plate 2 can be prevented from shaking under the limiting effect of the fitting groove 8. At the same time, during the storage process, the protective plate 2 can be pushed to one side of the connecting pipe 1 by the support of the support rod 10, so that the anti-slip plate 3 can be snapped into the inside of the slot 5.

[0031] like Figure 2-6 As shown, the driving component includes a spring support plate 13. One end of the spring support plate 13 is fixed to the inner wall of one side of the side opening 22. One side of the spring support plate 13 extends into the interior of the connecting pipe 1. A guide block 12 is fixed to the other side of the spring support plate 13. A guide groove 11 is provided at the bottom of the protective plate 2. The guide block 12 is slidably connected inside the guide groove 11.

[0032] The effect achieved is that when the movable column 16 slides downward, the force that pushes the spring support plate 13 outward can be released. Therefore, one side of the spring support plate 13 moves towards the inside of the connecting pipe 1. With the cooperation of the guide groove 11 and the guide block 12, the protective plate 2 can be moved into the inside of the fitting groove 8.

[0033] like Figure 2-6 As shown, the lifting component includes a movable column 16. One side of the movable column 16 is concave. A rotating block 19 is rotatably connected inside the movable column 16. A lifting spring 18 is fixed to one side of the rotating block 19. One end of the lifting spring 18 is fixed to one side of the fixing ring 15. A hexagonal groove 20 is opened on the other side of the movable column 16. A hexagonal block 7 is engaged inside the hexagonal groove 20. Two locking blocks 17 are fixed on the outer surface of the movable column 16 near one edge. Z-shaped grooves 24 are opened on both inner walls of the connecting pipe 1. The two locking blocks 17 are engaged inside the Z-shaped grooves 24.

[0034] The effect achieved is that the hexagonal block 7 on the insertion rod 6 and the hexagonal slot 20 on the movable column 16 engage with each other, thereby completing the docking with the lifting component. Then, since the movable column 16 on the lifting component is in the initial position, the two locking blocks 17 are engaged at a corner of the Z-shaped slot 24. At this time, it is necessary to rotate the docking rod 4 to drive the movable column 16 to rotate, so that the locking blocks 17 are rotated into the vertical slot of the Z-shaped slot 24. Then, pressing the movable column 16 into the docking tube 1 will cause the lifting spring 18 to contract.

[0035] like Figure 2-6 As shown, the positioning assembly includes a rotating disk 25. A retaining ring 30 is fixed near the edge of one side of the rotating disk 25. The retaining ring 30 engages with the outer surface of one side of the fixed ring 15. A waist-shaped groove 27 is provided on one side of the retaining ring 30. A rubber ring 26 is fixed near the edge of the outer surface of one side of the retaining ring 30. One side of the rubber ring 26 is in contact with the outer surface of one side of the movable column 16. Guide holes 23 are provided near the edge of one side of the inner bottom surface of multiple fitting grooves 8. Multiple guide holes 23 are respectively inserted into the interior of the connecting pipe 1 and extend to the inner side of the fixed ring 15. Multiple through holes 29 are provided on one side of the fixed ring 15, which are respectively inserted into the interior of the guide holes 23. Positioning rods 31 are slidably connected inside the multiple guide holes 23. A lever 28 is fixed on the outer surface of the multiple positioning rods 31. Multiple levers 28 are slidably connected inside the through holes 29. One end of the multiple levers 28 extends into the interior of the waist-shaped groove 27.

[0036] The present invention also provides a tent with a pole frame assembly of the above-described modular tent.

[0037] The effect achieved is that when the locking block 17 on the movable column 16 slides to the bottom of the vertical groove of the Z-shaped groove 24, the bottom of the movable column 16 presses against one side of the rubber ring 26. At this time, the rotating docking rod 4 can drive the rotating disk 25 to rotate through the mutual pressing of the movable column 16 and the rubber ring 26. When the rotating disk 25 rotates, the waist-shaped groove 27 and the lever 28 are mutually engaged, which can drive the positioning rod 31 to extend and retract inside the guide hole 23, so that one end of the positioning rod 31 is engaged inside the positioning hole 14, thereby positioning the protective plate 2.

[0038] The usage and working principle of this device are as follows: First, place the connecting pipe 1 at the connecting strip of the tent. Then, insert the connecting rod 4 along the edge of the tent to support it. Finally, insert the insertion rod 6 on the connecting rod 4 into the connecting pipe 1. The hexagonal block 7 on the insertion rod 6 engages with the hexagonal slot 20 on the movable column 16, thus completing the connection with the lifting component. Since the movable column 16 on the lifting component is initially positioned such that both locking blocks 17 are engaged at a corner of the Z-shaped groove 24, the connecting rod 4 needs to be rotated to rotate the movable column 16, causing the locking blocks 17 to rotate into the vertical opening of the Z-shaped groove 24. Pressing the movable column 16 into the connecting pipe 1 will then cause the lifting spring 18 to contract, simultaneously... When the movable column 16 slides downward, one side of the spring support plate 13 moves inward toward the inside of the connecting pipe 1, which can drive the protective plate 2 to be stored in the fitting groove 8. After being stored, the anti-slip plate 3 can be locked inside the slot 5. When the locking block 17 on the movable column 16 slides to the bottom of the vertical slot of the Z-shaped groove 24, the bottom of the movable column 16 and one side of the rubber ring 26 press against each other. At this time, rotating the connecting rod 4 can drive the rotating disk 25 to rotate through the mutual pressing of the movable column 16 and the rubber ring 26. When the rotating disk 25 rotates, the waist-shaped groove 27 and the lever 28 are locked together, which can drive the positioning rod 31 to extend and retract inside the guide hole 23, so that one end of the positioning rod 31 is locked inside the positioning hole 14, thereby positioning the protective plate 2.

[0039] The present invention also provides a tent, including the pole frame assembly of the modular tent as described above.

[0040] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
