Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tents, specifically relating to a scissor-type foldable tent structure based on origami. Background Technology

[0002] In outdoor recreation, emergency rescue, and field operations, the demand for temporary shelter facilities continues to rise. As the core carrier of portable temporary architecture, the ease of folding, stability during deployment, and compactness of the tent's frame structure have become key bottlenecks restricting its technological upgrade. Current tent frame technology still has significant shortcomings, making it difficult to simultaneously meet the requirements of efficiency, stability, and portability in practical applications. Traditional tent frames have low assembly and disassembly efficiency, high labor costs, insufficient stability, and poor mobility. Permanent structures, on the other hand, are unsuitable for emergency rescue scenarios due to their long construction periods and high costs.

[0003] In the prior art, such as the patent document with publication number CN209855366U, a tent that is easy to set up is disclosed, including a tent cover, an upper frame and a lower frame. A grounding block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower frame. When setting up the tent, it is necessary to manually connect the upper frame and the lower frame. In order to improve the stability of the tent, the grounding block needs to be fixed to the ground. The setup efficiency is low and the mobility is poor. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems in existing technologies, this invention proposes a scissor-type foldable tent structure based on origami. By forming the frame into a whole and using the scissor action of the scissor component to unfold or retract the frame, the entire frame can be unfolded or retracted simultaneously, enabling the tent to be quickly unfolded and stored. This reduces the skill requirements for tent set-up personnel and improves setup efficiency.

[0005] The present invention is implemented as follows: a scissor-type foldable tent structure based on origami, including a frame, a tent cover on the frame, the tent cover covering the frame, the frame including a plurality of folding components arranged in a circumferential array, the folding components including a top component, a side wall component and a bottom component arranged sequentially from top to bottom, the plurality of top components being sequentially hinged to form a top cover, the plurality of bottom components being sequentially hinged to form a base, the upper end of each side wall component being connected to the top cover and the lower end being connected to the base, forming the frame; The top component includes a rotatably connected top rod, which is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top component. When multiple top components are sequentially hinged, the top rods of adjacent top components are hinged, causing the top cover to form a folding structure with both unfolded and folded states. The bottom component includes a rotatably connected bottom rod, which is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom component. When multiple bottom components are sequentially hinged, the bottom rods of adjacent bottom components are hinged, causing the chassis to form a folding structure with both unfolded and folded states. It also includes multiple scissor lift components, each positioned between adjacent sidewall components and movably connected to them. When the top cover / chassis unfolds or folds, it causes the sidewall components to unfold outwards or fold inwards. Multiple scissor lift components move synchronously with multiple sidewall components, causing the chassis / top cover to unfold or fold synchronously, thus switching the frame between unfolded and folded states. When a scissor lift component performs a scissor lift action, its lateral dimension increases or decreases. When the lateral dimension of the scissor lift component increases, it causes the sidewall components to expand outwards, unfolding the frame and thus the tent. When the lateral dimension of the scissor lift component decreases, it causes the sidewall components to contract inwards, folding the frame and thus the tent. By adjusting the scissor lift components, tents can be quickly set up and taken down, reducing the skill requirements for setup personnel and improving tent setup efficiency.

[0006] Specifically, it also includes a power source that drives the scissor arm to swing or drives the sliding ring to slide, thereby changing the lateral dimension of the scissor arm. When the lateral dimension of the scissor arm increases, the frame switches from a folded state to an unfolded state; when the lateral dimension of the scissor arm decreases, the frame switches from an unfolded state to a folded state. The power source drives the scissor mechanism to perform scissor actions, enabling automated scissor action, further reducing the skill requirements for tent setup personnel and improving tent setup efficiency. Specifically, the power source can be an electric motor or manual power.

[0007] Preferably, the sidewall components include a first support rod and a second support rod arranged vertically, with the first support rod and the second support rod hinged together. The radial dimension of the chassis is larger than the radial dimension of the top cover. When the frame is deployed, the first support rod tilts inward, causing the frame in the deployed state to gradually increase in size from top to bottom, forming a frustum-shaped arched sidewall truss. On one hand, when the frame is deployed, the scissor-like components form a ring connection; simultaneously, when the tent is deployed, the frustum-shaped arched sidewall truss formed by the multiple sidewall components creates a slightly convex arched surface on the sidewalls of the tent, which can disperse wind loads through the surface effect and improve the overall wind resistance of the tent. On the other hand, damping is provided at the hinge between the first support rod and the second support rod. When the ground vibrates, the damping can absorb part of the vibration impact, thereby reducing the amplitude of tent swaying and improving the tent's earthquake resistance.

[0008] Preferably, the scissor lift component includes scissor arms arranged in a cross configuration. One end of each scissor arm is hinged to a sidewall component on one side of the scissor lift component, and the other end is provided with a sliding ring. The sliding ring is slidably connected to a sidewall component on the other side of the scissor lift component. The sliding ring can adaptively slide on the sidewall component, which reduces the risk of the scissor lift component jamming during scissor lift operations, making the frame unfolding and folding smoother. On the other hand, the adaptive sliding can also automatically compensate for positional deviations, thereby reducing the precision requirements of each component of the scissor lift component and reducing the production cost of the scissor lift component.

[0009] Specifically, the sliding ring includes a first connecting portion on its periphery, and the first connecting portion has a first connecting hole that is hinged to the scissor arm. The first connecting portion protrudes from one end face of the sliding ring. The sliding rings of adjacent scissor arms are sleeved on the side wall members between them and are symmetrically arranged at the top and bottom centers, so that the first connecting holes of each sliding ring are located on the same horizontal plane. This makes the scissor arm movement amplitude of adjacent scissor arms consistent when the tent is deployed, thereby making the force on each scissor arm uniform and improving the service life of each scissor arm.

[0010] The sidewall component is also provided with a first fixing ring. The first fixing ring includes symmetrically detachable first half-ring portions. When the symmetrically arranged first half-ring portions are connected to each other, the sliding ring on the sidewall component is embedded inside the first fixing ring with the first connecting portion exposed, and the sliding ring rotates within the first fixing ring. The first fixing ring causes the sliding rings of adjacent scissor lift components to move synchronously, thereby ensuring that the scissor lift components maintain a consistent scissor lift movement amplitude during tent deployment, further ensuring uniform force distribution on each scissor lift component and improving the service life of each scissor lift component.

[0011] Specifically, the sidewall component is provided with a second fixing ring, and the second fixing ring has a second connecting portion protruding towards its end face on its circumference. The second connecting portion has a second connecting hole. The second fixing rings of adjacent scissor lift components are sleeved on the sidewall component between them, and are symmetrically arranged at their upper and lower centers, so that the second connecting holes of each second fixing ring are located on the same horizontal plane. Similarly, the second fixing rings ensure that each scissor lift component is subjected to uniform force, thereby improving the service life of each scissor lift component.

[0012] Specifically, the second fixing ring includes symmetrically arranged second half-ring portions connected by fasteners. The sidewall component also has a corresponding slot for the second fixing ring. The symmetrically arranged second half-ring portions are engaged within the slot, allowing the second fixing ring to be rotatably mounted within it. When the frame switches between an unfolded and folded state, the scissor arm and the sidewall component rotate relative to each other. When the second fixing ring is rotatably mounted within the slot, it prevents the second fixing ring from shifting along the extension direction of the sidewall component during rotation, thus improving the reliability of the second fixing ring.

[0013] Preferably, the top cover and chassis also include a connecting piece, which is disposed between adjacent top / bottom components. When multiple top / bottom components are sequentially hinged, the two ends of the connecting piece are respectively hinged to adjacent top / bottom rods, so that when the frame is folded, the top / bottom rods at both ends of the connecting piece abut against each other, thereby reducing the volume of the frame after folding and making the folded tent easier to store.

[0014] Preferably, the tent cover includes a combination unit corresponding to the folding assembly. The combination unit includes a top cover corresponding to the top component, a wall portion corresponding to the side wall component, and a chassis portion corresponding to the bottom component. When multiple combination units are sewn together, the tent cover is formed, so that the tent cover can use the same number of combination units according to the number of folding assemblies, thereby improving the versatility of the combination units. The tent canopy is cut along the edge of one or more walls to form one or more liftable curtains and tent entrances corresponding to the curtains.

[0015] Specifically, the tent cover has creases, and when the frame is folded, the tent cover folds along the creases; the creases cause the tent cover to fold along the creases when folding, thus avoiding the tent cover from becoming messy when the tent is folded.

[0016] The creases include outwardly convex mountain creases and inwardly concave valley creases. The mountain creases are formed between adjacent wall sections, and the valley creases are located in the middle of each wall section. Valley creases are located between adjacent top / base sections and correspond to the mountain creases formed between adjacent wall sections. The mountain creases are located in the middle of the top / base section and correspond to the valley creases in the middle of the wall section. When the tent cover is folded, the top and base sections simultaneously fit against the wall sections.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention proposes a scissor-type foldable tent structure based on origami. By forming a frame as a whole, the frame is expanded or contracted through the scissor action of the scissor component. When the lateral dimension of the scissor component increases, it causes the side wall components to expand outward, thus expanding the frame and unfolding the tent. When the lateral dimension of the scissor component decreases, it causes the side wall components to contract inward, thus folding the frame and unfolding the tent. This reduces the skill requirements for tent setup and improves setup efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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 a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. 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.

[0021] like Figures 1-16 As shown, a scissor-type foldable tent structure based on origami includes a frame with a tent cover 3 covering the frame. The frame includes multiple folding components 1 arranged in a circular array. Each folding component 1 includes a top component 11, a side wall component 12, and a bottom component 13 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The multiple top components 11 are sequentially hinged to form a top cover 16, and the multiple bottom components 13 are sequentially hinged to form a base 17. The upper end of each side wall component 12 is connected to the top cover 16, and the lower end is connected to the base 17 to form the frame. In this embodiment, the tent cover 3 includes a combination unit 31 corresponding to the folding assembly 1. The combination unit 31 includes a top cover 311 corresponding to the top member 11, a wall portion 312 corresponding to the side wall member 12, and a chassis portion 313 corresponding to the bottom member 13. When multiple combination units 31 are sewn together, the tent cover 3 is formed, so that the tent cover 3 can select the same number of combination units 31 according to the number of folding assemblies 1, thereby improving the versatility of the combination units 31. In this embodiment, the skeleton is made of CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced polymer) or BFRP (basalt fiber reinforced polymer), allowing the skeleton to simultaneously achieve strength and lightweight. In other embodiments, the skeleton can be made of other fiber-reinforced polymer-based materials or high-strength polymer materials.

[0022] The tent cover 3 is cut along the edge of one or more walls to form one or more curtains that can be opened, and tent entrances and exits corresponding to the curtains.

[0023] In this embodiment, the tent cover 3 is made of hollow board of polypropylene or PET (polyethylene terephthalate).

[0024] In this embodiment, the top cover 311 is an isosceles triangle; the wall portion 312 consists of two isosceles trapezoids arranged vertically and connected in an inverted manner; the base portion 313 is an isosceles triangle, and the bottom edge of the base portion 313 is connected to the bottom edge of the isosceles trapezoid located at the bottom of the wall portion 312.

[0025] Specifically, the tent cover 3 has creases 32. When the frame is folded, the tent cover 3 folds along the creases 32. The creases 32 make the tent cover 3 fold up along the creases 32 when the tent is folded, thus avoiding the tent cover 3 from becoming messy when the tent is folded.

[0026] In this embodiment, the horizontally arranged crease 32 causes the tent covers 3 on both sides to fold up and down, and the vertically arranged crease 32 causes the tent covers 3 on both sides to fold left and right.

[0027] The creases 32 include outwardly convex mountain creases and inwardly concave valley creases. The mountain creases are formed between adjacent wall portions 312, and the valley creases are provided in the middle of each wall portion 312. Valley creases are provided between adjacent top cover portions 311 / base portions 313, and correspond to the mountain creases formed between adjacent wall portions 312. The mountain creases are provided in the middle of the top cover portions 311 / base portions 313, and correspond to the valley creases in the middle of the wall portions 312. When the tent cover 3 is folded, the top cover portions 311 and the base portions 313 are simultaneously attached to the wall portions 312.

[0028] The top component 11 includes a rotatably connected top rod 111, which is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top component 11. When multiple top components 11 are sequentially hinged, the top rods 111 of adjacent top components 11 are hinged, so that the top cover 16 forms a folding structure and has two states: unfolded and folded. The bottom component 13 includes a rotatably connected bottom rod 131, which is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom component 13. When multiple bottom components 13 are sequentially hinged, the bottom rods 131 of adjacent bottom components 13 are hinged, so that the chassis 17 forms a folding structure and has two states: unfolded and folded. In this embodiment, the top component further includes a connecting block 112, and the top rod 111 is hinged to both sides of the connecting block 112.

[0029] In this embodiment, the top cover 16 and the chassis 17 also include a connecting piece 161. The connecting piece 161 is disposed between adjacent top components 11 / bottom components 13. When multiple top components 11 / bottom components 13 are sequentially hinged, the two ends of the connecting piece 161 are respectively hinged to adjacent top rods 111 / bottom rods 131. When the frame is folded, the top rods 111 / bottom rods 131 at both ends of the connecting piece 161 abut against each other, thereby reducing the volume of the frame after folding and making the folded tent easier to store.

[0030] In this embodiment, the sidewall component 12 includes a first support rod 121 and a second support rod 122 arranged vertically, with the first support rod 121 and the second support rod 122 hinged together. The radial dimension of the chassis 17 is larger than the radial dimension of the top cover 16. When the frame is deployed, the first support rod 121 tilts inward, causing the frame in the deployed state to gradually increase in size from top to bottom, forming a frustum-shaped arched sidewall truss. On one hand, when the frame is deployed, the scissor-like components 2 form a ring connection; simultaneously, when the tent is deployed, the frustum-shaped arched sidewall truss formed by the multiple sidewall components 12 creates a slightly convex arched surface on the sidewall of the tent, which can disperse wind load through the surface effect and improve the overall wind resistance of the tent. On the other hand, damping is provided at the hinge between the first support rod 121 and the second support rod 122. When the ground vibrates, the damping can absorb part of the vibration impact, thereby reducing the amplitude of the tent's swaying and improving the tent's earthquake resistance.

[0031] It also includes multiple scissor lift members 2, each scissor lift member 2 disposed between adjacent side wall members 12 and movably connected to the side wall members 12; when the top cover 16 / base 17 unfolds or folds, it drives the side wall members 12 to unfold outward or fold inward, and the multiple scissor lift members 2 drive the multiple side wall members 12 to move synchronously, so that the base 17 / top cover 16 unfolds or folds synchronously; thereby allowing the frame to switch between unfolded and folded states. When the scissor lift member 2 performs a scissor lift action, the lateral dimension of the scissor lift member 2 increases or decreases. When the lateral dimension of the scissor lift member 2 increases, it drives the side wall members 12 to expand outward, causing the frame to unfold, and thus the tent to unfold; when the lateral dimension of the scissor lift member 2 decreases, it drives the side wall members 12 to contract inward, causing the frame to fold, and thus the tent to fold. By adjusting the scissor lift members 2, the tent can be quickly set up and packed away, thereby reducing the skill requirements for the setter and improving the efficiency of tent setup.

[0032] In this embodiment, the scissor lift component 2 includes scissor arms 21 arranged in a cross configuration. One end of each scissor arm 21 is hinged to a side wall component 12 on one side of the scissor lift component 2, and the other end is provided with a sliding ring 22. The sliding ring 22 is slidably connected to the side wall component 12 on the other side of the scissor lift component 2. The sliding ring 22 can adaptively slide on the side wall component 12, which reduces the risk of the scissor lift component 2 jamming during scissor lift operations, making the frame unfolding and folding more smoothly. On the other hand, the adaptive sliding can also automatically compensate for positional deviations, thereby reducing the precision requirements of each component of the scissor lift component 2 and reducing the production cost of the scissor lift component 2.

[0033] Specifically, it also includes a power source that drives the scissor arm 21 to swing or the sliding ring 22 to slide, thereby changing the lateral dimension of the scissor arm 21. When the lateral dimension of the scissor arm 21 increases, the frame switches from a folded state to an unfolded state; when the lateral dimension of the scissor arm 21 decreases, the frame switches from an unfolded state to a folded state. The power source is used to drive the scissor component 2 to perform a scissor action. By unfolding or folding the tent through the scissor action of the scissor component 2, the skill requirements for tent setup personnel are further reduced, and the tent setup efficiency is improved.

[0034] In this embodiment, the power source is manual. In other embodiments, the power source can be an electric motor, which drives the scissor arm 21 or the sliding ring 22 to slide, thereby expanding or contracting the frame.

[0035] In this embodiment, after the frame is deployed, the scissor arm tends to be horizontal. At this time, when the frame tends to contract, it will exert pressure on the scissor arm. When this pressure increases, it also increases the maximum static friction of the sliding ring. Since the scissor arm tends to be horizontal, the thrust component of the pressure on the sliding ring will be much smaller than the normal force component of the pressure on the sliding ring, making the maximum static friction of the sliding ring greater than the thrust component of the pressure on the sliding ring. This makes the scissor component achieve a self-locking effect, allowing the frame to maintain its deployed state and improving the reliability of the frame.

[0036] Specifically, the sliding ring 22 includes a first connecting portion 221 on its periphery. The first connecting portion 221 has a first connecting hole 222 that is hinged to the scissor arm 21. The first connecting portion 221 protrudes towards one end face of the sliding ring 22. The sliding rings 22 of adjacent scissor arms 2 are sleeved on the side wall member 12 between them and are symmetrically arranged at the top and bottom centers, so that the first connecting holes 222 of each sliding ring 22 are located on the same horizontal plane. This makes the scissor action amplitude of adjacent scissor arms 2 consistent when the tent is deployed, thereby making each scissor arm 2 bear force evenly and improving the service life of each scissor arm 2.

[0037] The sidewall component 12 is also provided with a first fixing ring 14. The first fixing ring 14 includes symmetrically detachable first half-ring portions. When the symmetrically arranged first half-ring portions are connected to each other, the sliding ring 22 on the sidewall component 12 is embedded in the first fixing ring 14 with the first connecting portion 221 exposed, and the sliding ring 22 rotates within the first fixing ring 14. The first fixing ring 14 causes the sliding rings 22 of adjacent scissor lift components 2 to move synchronously, thereby ensuring that the scissor lift components 2 maintain a consistent scissor lift movement amplitude during tent deployment, further ensuring uniform force distribution on each scissor lift component 2 and improving the service life of each scissor lift component 2.

[0038] Specifically, the sidewall component 12 is provided with a second fixing ring 15. The second fixing ring 15 has a second connecting portion 152 protruding towards its end face. The second connecting portion 152 has a second connecting hole 153. The second fixing rings 15 of adjacent scissor lift components 2 are sleeved on the sidewall component 12 between them, and are symmetrically arranged vertically, so that the second connecting holes 153 of each second fixing ring 15 are located on the same horizontal plane. Similarly, the second fixing rings 15 ensure that each scissor lift component 2 is subjected to uniform force, thereby improving the service life of each scissor lift component 2.

[0039] Specifically, the second fixing ring 15 includes symmetrically arranged second half-ring portions 151, which are connected by fasteners. The side wall component 12 is also provided with a slot 123 corresponding to the second fixing ring 15. The symmetrically arranged second half-ring portions 151 are engaged in the slot 123, so that the second fixing ring 15 is rotatably installed in the slot 123. When the frame switches between the unfolded state and the folded state, the scissor arm 21 and the side wall component 12 rotate relative to each other. When the second fixing ring 15 is rotatably installed in the slot 123, it prevents the second fixing ring 15 from shifting along the extension direction of the side wall component 12 during rotation, thus improving the reliability of the second fixing ring 15.

[0040] In this embodiment, at least one side wall component 12 is also provided with a vent pipe at its lower end. The vent pipe is connected to an inflation device. When the frame is unfolded, the inflation device blows air into the vent pipe at the same time, so that the air pressure inside the tent is higher than that outside. When the frame is unfolded, the tent cover 3 is fully expanded under the action of the air pressure inside the tent. When the tent cover 3 is folded, the vent pipe provides an exhaust channel to facilitate the exhaust of gas inside the tent, thereby assisting the frame in driving the tent cover 3 to contract and fold.

[0041] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the foregoing specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to the invention should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on the present invention.
