Description

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. CN 2023201808462 filed on February 8, 2023. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention belongs to the field of outdoor products, and relates to a cloth cover connecting assembly, a foldable outdoor product and an assembly method thereof. Background Art

[0003] Outdoor tents usually include a tent frame and a cloth cover connected to the tent frame, which is used for sunshade, rain shelter, wind protection, etc. in outdoor activities. At present, the cloth cover of the tent is mostly connected to the tent frame by Velcro (also known as Velcro or bristles, etc.). However, for foldable tents, the eaves frame constituting the top structure mostly adopts rods that can be relatively unfolded and folded, typically such as a cross-link assembly that is pivotally connected. The above Velcro connection method will have the following problems: during the process of unfolding or folding the tent, the relative position of the rod changes, and the Velcro will slide on the rod, increasing the wear on the rod; if the Velcro is located at or moved to the pivot point of the rod, the Velcro is easily broken by two rods approaching each other; during the process of unfolding or folding the tent, the change in the position of the rod may cause the Velcro, connecting belt, etc. connected thereto to be torn, and it is also easy to cause the cloth cover and the protruding parts on the rod (especially the connecting screws or pins at the pivot point of the rod) to rub and scratch each other, resulting in scratches on the cloth cover. In addition, when installing the cloth cover, both hands are required to operate the Velcro, and the connection positions are mostly at high places, making the connection and assembly of the cloth cover inconvenient.

[0004] The present invention relates to a cloth cover connection assembly, which can conveniently connect the cloth cover to a rod, and also relates to a foldable outdoor product using the cloth cover connection assembly and an assembly method thereof.

[0005] One aspect of the present disclosure provides
