DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] The utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0035] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a folding tent eaves rod locking mechanism and a folding tent, including a tent frame assembly 1, a tent roof assembly 2, a tent eave assembly 3 and a locking mechanism 4. The folding tent includes. The tent frame assembly 1 is arranged at the bottom of the tent roof assembly 2, and is used to support each tent roof assembly 2. The tent roof assembly 2 includes a central mounting mechanism, and a plurality of folding rod mechanisms uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction along the axis of the central mechanism. The tent eave assembly 3 is arranged at the end of each folding rod mechanism, and is used to extend the length of the end of the folding mechanism outwardly and to tension the tarpaulin covering the tent roof assembly 2. The locking mechanism 4 is installed at the top of the tent frame assembly 1, and is used to lock the tent eave assembly 3 after it is extended outward.
[0036] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the central mounting mechanism and the folding rod mechanism both adopt the existing technology. The central mounting mechanism includes an upper fixed plate 2-1, a lower fixed plate 2-2, and a central support rod 2-3 connecting the two. The folding rod mechanism includes a top rod 2-4, a diagonal rod 2-5 and a supporting connecting rod 2-6. The inner ends of the top rod 2-4 and the supporting connecting rod 2-6 are respectively hinged to the upper fixed plate 2-1 and the lower fixed plate 2-2 in the central mounting mechanism. The outer end of the supporting connecting rod 2-6 is hinged to the middle part of the top rod 2-4. The diagonal rod 2-5 is hinged to the end of the top rod 2-4. The connected top rod 2-4 and diagonal rod 2-5 constitute the supporting edge eaves of the canopy roof assembly.
[0037] like Figure 1 , 4As shown in Figure 5, the canopy assembly 3 includes a plurality of guide sleeves 3-1 and a plurality of eaves hanging rods 3-2. Each eaves hanging rod 3-2 is respectively installed on the outer end of each diagonal rod 2-5 and connected through the guide sleeve 3-1. The guide sleeve 3-1 is provided with a guide hole 3-1-1 and a fixing hole 3-1-2 arranged side by side. The outer end of the diagonal rod 2-5 passes through the fixing hole 3-1-2 and is locked by a bolt. The inner end of the eaves hanging rod 3-2 is inserted into the guide hole 3-1-1 and can slide relative to the diagonal rod 2-5.
[0038] In this embodiment, the tent frame assembly 1 adopts the existing technology, which includes a support leg 1-1 and an auxiliary connecting rod 1-2. There are four support legs 1-1 in total. Two adjacent support legs 1-1 are connected by a side folding connecting rod mechanism. Four auxiliary connecting rods 1-2 are respectively installed on the four support legs 1-1, and their inner ends are hinged to the middle of the corresponding diagonal rod 2-5. Each support leg is installed with a mounting sleeve that can slide up and down. The outer end of each auxiliary connecting rod 1-2 is hinged to the corresponding mounting sleeve, so as to realize the folding and opening of the auxiliary connecting rod 1-2.
[0039] like Figure 3 , 6 As shown in Figure 9, a locking mechanism is installed on the top of each support leg 1-1, which is used to lock each sliding eaves hanging rod 3-2, so as to limit the length of the eaves hanging rod 3-2 extending relative to the diagonal rod 2-5. The locking mechanism 4 includes a mounting base 4-1 and a locking assembly. The mounting base 4-1 is provided with a mounting through hole 4-1-1 for mounting the eaves hanging rod 3-2. The locking assembly is installed on the mounting base 4-1 and is used to lock the sliding eaves hanging rod.
[0040] Specifically, if Figure 6 , 7 As shown in Figure 8, the locking assembly includes a locking member 4-2 and a reset member. The locking member 4-2 is used to lock the eaves hanging rod; the reset member is used to control the locking member 4-2 to lock or unlock. A button mounting hole 4-1-2 for the locking member 4-2 to slide is provided on the mounting base 4-1, and the button mounting hole 4-1-2 is connected to the mounting through hole 4-1-1. The locking member 4-2 is provided with a limiting through hole 4-4-1 for the eaves hanging rod 3-2 to pass through, and a limiting boss 4-5 for limiting the eaves hanging rod 3-2 is provided on the inner wall of the limiting through hole 4-4-1. The reset member is an elastic member and is arranged at a corresponding position outside the limiting boss 4-5.
[0041] like Fig.10 and 11As shown, in this embodiment, an adjustment button 4-4 is provided on the top of the locking member 4-2. When in use, by applying or contacting the adjustment button 4-4, with the assistance of the elastic member, the locking member 4-2 is driven to switch between the locked state and the unlocked state. Initially, the locking member 4-2 is in the locked state. When the locking member 4-2 is in the locked state, the limiting boss 4-5 on the locking member 4-2 is inserted into the locking hole located at the outermost end of the hanging eaves rod 3-2, and the hanging eaves rod 3-2 is in a locked state. When the user applies external force to the adjustment button 4-4, the locking member 4-2 switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, and the limiting boss 4-5 gradually disengages from the locking hole on the hanging eaves rod 3-2 until the limiting boss 4-5 moves to a position where the outer end surface is flush with the inner side wall on the limiting socket. The user adjusts the length of the hanging eaves rod 3-2 relative to the inclined rod 2-5 by pulling the hanging eaves rod 3-2 outward. When the user releases the pressure on the adjustment button 4 - 4 , the elastic member drives the locking member 4 - 2 to switch from the unlocked state to the locked state, and the limiting boss 4 - 5 is inserted into the corresponding locking hole.
[0042] In addition, the mounting base 4-1 includes an integrally formed limit socket and a connecting handle. The end of the connecting handle is hinged to the top of the corresponding supporting leg 1-1. The limit socket is also provided with end sockets arranged side by side. The end socket and the mounting through hole 4-1-1 correspond to the fixing hole 3-1-2 and the guide hole 3-1-1 on the guide sleeve 3-1, respectively. The end of the inclined rod 2-5 passing through the fixing hole 3-1-2 in the folding rod mechanism is inserted into the end socket and locked by a bolt. The outer end of the hanging eaves rod 3-2 passes through the corresponding mounting through hole 4-1-1.
[0043] In this embodiment, the elastic member is a spring 4-3. A bottom mounting hole is provided at the bottom end of the button mounting hole 4-1-2. The spring 4-3 is installed in the bottom mounting hole, and the outer end of the spring 4-3 abuts against the locking member, so as to provide an elastic force for the locking member to reset outward.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solution deviate from the scope of the technical solution of the embodiments of the utility model.
