Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tent processing technology, and in particular to a method for forming an inflatable, airtight tent canopy. Background Technology

[0002] Inflatable airtight tents are mainly used in disaster relief, temporary medical stations, and short-term field training. They offer advantages such as flexible structural design, rapid deployment, and savings in manpower and time. An inflatable airtight tent is a type of inflatable membrane structure. Its frame is designed using structural mechanics principles, and it utilizes the properties of gas pressure to expand the gas into rigid columns, which are then organically combined to support the tent's skeleton. Inflatable tents are generally formed by nested combinations of an air-ribbed frame and an outer canopy, allowing for rapid deployment and retrieval to create an airtight protective platform.

[0003] Currently, when the outer canopy of an inflatable airtight tent is formed, the gable and side wall sections are sewn together in a standard shape. However, the sewn outer canopy does not fit well with the air rib frame at the corner joints, which can easily cause the outer canopy to shift relative to the air rib frame, resulting in poor structural stability and poor appearance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the technical defects of poor structural stability and unsightly appearance in existing inflatable airtight tents, this invention provides a method for forming the outer canopy of an inflatable airtight tent.

[0005] The method for forming the outer canopy of an inflatable, airtight tent provided by the present invention includes the following steps:

[0006] S1. Determine the gable wall segments and side wall segments according to the external dimensions of the canopy. The gable wall segment is hexagonal with six sides being a horizontal beam side, two side beam sides, two inclined column sides, and a bottom side. The two ends of the horizontal beam side are connected to the first ends of the two side beam sides, the second ends of the two side beam sides are connected to the first ends of the two inclined column sides, and the second ends of the two inclined column sides are connected to the two ends of the bottom side. The horizontal beam side is parallel to the bottom side and their perpendicular bisectors coincide. The two side beam sides and the two inclined column sides are symmetrically distributed about the perpendicular bisector of the horizontal beam side. The side wall segment is rectangular.

[0007] S2. Modify the gable wall sections according to the external dimensions of the air rib frame: open at the intersection of the horizontal beam and the two side beams to form a ridge notch, open at the intersection of the two side beams and the two diagonal columns to form an eaves notch, and open at the intersection of the two diagonal columns and the bottom edge to form a bottom corner notch.

[0008] S3. Sew the ridge notch, eaves notch and bottom corner notch together so that the edges of the gable wall segments curl to form a binding;

[0009] S4. Sew the side wall sections to the edge banding of the two gable wall sections at both ends along the length to form the outer canopy.

[0010] Optionally, the location of the ridge notch is determined by the following steps:

[0011] The distance from the end point of the beam edge At the location and on the side beam at a distance from its first end Draw perpendicular lines from the two perpendicular lines; the area enclosed by these two perpendicular lines is the location of the notch in the ridge.

[0012] in, The length of the beam side. This is the length of the air-ribbed crossbeam.

[0013] Optionally, the location of the eaves notch is determined by the following steps:

[0014] At the second end of the side beam At the location and at the distance from its first end on the side of the inclined column Draw perpendicular lines at the two points; the area enclosed by the two perpendicular lines is the location of the notch in the eaves.

[0015] in, The length of the side beam. This is the length of the air-ribbed side beam.

[0016] Optionally, the position of the bottom corner notch is determined by the following steps:

[0017] 1) At the second end of the inclined column At and at the bottom edge, at a distance from its endpoint Draw a perpendicular line at the point;

[0018] in, The length of the sloping column side. The length of the air-ribbed inclined column;

[0019] 2) Constructing a virtual line segment: The bottom endpoint is taken as the first end of the virtual line segment, the intersection of the two perpendicular lines is taken as the path point of the virtual line segment, and the point that is a distance from the intersection of the two perpendicular lines to the radius of the air rib is taken as the second end of the virtual line segment.

[0020] 3) Construct the trimming arc: Using the foot of the perpendicular and the second end of the virtual straight line as the two ends of the arc, draw an arc. The curvature of the arc is equal to the curvature of the bottom corner of the air rib. Two arcs are formed corresponding to the two feet of the perpendicular. The area enclosed by the two arcs is the position of the bottom corner notch.

[0021] Optionally, in step S4, starting from the center of the bottom edge of the gable panel, sew along the edging outline. After sewing all two gable panels and the side wall panels, finish along the length of the side wall panels to complete the outer canopy sewing.

[0022] Optionally, sealant strips can be applied to all sewn seams.

[0023] Optionally, the sealing strip is heat-sealed onto the outer canopy.

[0024] The technical solution provided by this invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0025] The inflatable airtight tent outer canopy forming method provided by the present invention involves cutting out ridge notches, eave notches, and bottom corner notches on the gable wall sections, sewing the notches to form edging on the gable wall sections, and then sewing the edging on the side wall sections to form the outer canopy. This allows the outer canopy to fit snugly against the air rib frame at the corner connection, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the outer canopy on the air rib frame and improving the appearance quality.

[0034] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the solutions of the present invention will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof can be combined with each other.

[0035] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention, but the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of the invention, and not all embodiments.

[0036] The following is combined Figures 1 to 4 Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0037] This embodiment provides a method for forming an inflatable, airtight tent canopy, including steps S1 to S4.

[0038] S1. Determine the gable wall and side wall segments based on the external dimensions of the canopy. The gable wall segment is hexagonal with the following six sides: horizontal beam side 1, two side beam sides 2, two diagonal column sides 3, and bottom side 4. The two ends of the horizontal beam side 1 are connected to the first ends of the two side beam sides 2, the second ends of the two side beam sides 2 are connected to the first ends of the two diagonal column sides 3, and the second ends of the two diagonal column sides 3 are connected to the two ends of the bottom side 4. The horizontal beam side 1 and the bottom side 4 are parallel and their perpendicular bisectors coincide. The two side beam sides 2 and the two diagonal column sides 3 are symmetrically distributed about the perpendicular bisector of the horizontal beam side 1. The side wall segment is rectangular.

[0039] As is easy to understand, the outer canopy consists of two parts: gable wall sections and side wall sections. There are two gable wall sections and one side wall section, but the side wall section can be a large rectangular section made up of multiple small rectangular pieces sewn together.

[0040] S2. Modify the gable wall sections according to the external dimensions of the air rib frame: open at the intersection of the horizontal beam side 1 and the two side beam sides 2 to form the ridge notch 5, open at the intersection of the two side beam sides 2 and the two diagonal column sides 3 to form the eaves notch 6, and open at the intersection of the two diagonal column sides 3 and the bottom edge 4 to form the bottom corner notch 7.

[0041] It is important to note that Figure 1 The gable wall in the middle is divided into sections, but only the left half has had the notch cut off. The right half also needs to be cut off, but... Figure 1 To compare the changes before and after cropping, only the left half was cropped.

[0042] Specifically, the location of notch 5 on the spine is determined through the following steps:

[0043] On the side 1 of the beam, at a distance from its endpoint At the location and on the side beam edge 2, at a distance from its first end Draw perpendicular lines from the two perpendicular lines; the area enclosed by these two perpendicular lines is the location of the ridge gap 5.

[0044] in, The length of side 1 of the beam. This is the length of the air-ribbed crossbeam.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, side 1 of the crossbeam intersects side 2 of the side beam at point A, with the two feet of the perpendiculars being a and b, respectively. .

[0046] Specifically, the location of notch 6 in the eaves is determined through the following steps:

[0047] On the side beam 2, at a distance from its second end At the location and on the side 3 of the inclined column, at a distance from its first end Draw a perpendicular line at the point; the area enclosed by the two perpendicular lines is the location of the eaves notch 6.

[0048] in, The length of side beam edge 2. This is the length of the air-ribbed side beam.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, side beam 2 intersects inclined column side 3 at point B, with the two feet of the perpendiculars being c and d respectively. .

[0050] Specifically, the location of the bottom corner notch 7 is determined through the following steps:

[0051] 1) On the side 3 of the inclined column, at a distance from its second end At and on the bottom edge 4, at a distance from its endpoint Draw a perpendicular line at the point;

[0052] in, The length of the inclined column side 3. The length of the air-ribbed inclined column;

[0053] 2) Constructing virtual line segments: The four endpoints of the bottom edge are taken as the first end of the virtual line segment, the intersection of the two perpendicular lines is taken as the path point of the virtual line segment, and the point that is a distance from the intersection of the two perpendicular lines to the radius of the air rib is taken as the second end of the virtual line segment.

[0054] 3) Construct the cutting arc: Using the foot of the perpendicular and the second end of the virtual straight line as the two ends of the arc, draw an arc. The curvature of the arc is equal to the curvature of the bottom corner of the air rib. Two arcs are formed corresponding to the two feet of the perpendicular. The area enclosed by the two arcs is the position of the bottom corner notch 7.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, the base 4 intersects the inclined column side 3 at point C, with the two feet of the perpendiculars being e and f, and the intersection of the two perpendiculars being g. The second end of the virtual line segment is h. .

[0056] S3. Sew the ridge notch 5, eaves notch 6 and bottom corner notch 7 together so that the edges of the gable wall segments curl to form a edging. The edging allows the outer canopy to fit completely against the air rib frame at the corner joint.

[0057] S4. Sew the side wall sections to the edge banding of the two gable wall sections at both ends along the length to form the outer canopy.

[0058] Specifically, starting from the center of the bottom edge 4 of the gable wall section, sew along the edging outline. After sewing all two gable wall sections and the side wall sections, finish along the length of the side wall sections to complete the outer canopy sewing.

[0059] It is easy to understand that the length direction of the side wall segments is perpendicular to the direction of the gable wall segments.

[0060] Furthermore, in the inflatable airtight tent outer canopy forming method of this embodiment, sealing strips are covered at all sewn joints, which can seal the sewn joints and ensure the airtightness of the tent.

[0061] Specifically, the sealing strip is heat-sealed onto the outer canopy, which is easy to process and has a firm shape.

[0062] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement the present invention. Although detailed descriptions have been provided with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments, and they should all be covered within the protection scope of the claims.
