[0023] By using this pulley device, the unfolding and folding of the tarpaulin becomes faster and more convenient. The user only needs to slide the tarpaulin through simple operations, which greatly improves the efficiency and convenience of using the tarpaulin.

[0024] The pulley is compact and durable, reducing the frequency of component replacement due to damage or failure. At the same time, its easy installation and maintenance also reduce the user's cost and time cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
