[0031] Example 1

[0032] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 The present embodiment provides a tarpaulin support assembly, which is used to support the tarpaulin body. The tarpaulin support assembly includes a support seat 1, a first support rod 2 and a second support rod 3. The first support rod 2 extends in a straight line, and the second support rod 3 extends in a straight line. The straight line extension here includes the situation that the first support rod 2 and / or the second support rod 3 are straight rods, and should also include the situation that the first support rod 2 and / or the second support rod 3 have a slight bend or curvature. The first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 are pivotally connected to the support seat 1 so that the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 have an unfolded state and a folded state. When in the unfolded state, the first support rod 2, the second support rod 3 and the support seat 1 form a ridge-like structure. When in the folded state, the first support rod 2, the second support rod 3 and the support seat 1 are close. In this way, the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 of the tarpaulin support assembly provided in the present embodiment are pivotally arranged on the support seat 1 so that it can switch between the unfolded state and the folded state. When the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 are in the unfolded state, they form a ridge-like structure with the support base 1, so that when it rains, rain can flow down along the slopes on both sides of the top of the canopy, and when it is windy, the wind can blow more smoothly. When the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 are in the folded state, the straight-extending first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 are folded together with the support base 1 and folded in a bundle, and the folded volume is reduced. In short, the ridge-like structure of the top of the canopy and the simplified storage are achieved through the tarpaulin support assembly. This design has better rain protection and the ability to adapt to different weather conditions, and increases the portability of the canopy.

[0033] In some embodiments, the support base 1 has a slot 4 suitable for the support column 5 to be inserted, and the slot 4 extends vertically downward. Specifically, the slot 4 of the support base 1 extends vertically downward, so that the support column 5 can be firmly inserted therein and combined with the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3. Such a connection method can increase the stability of the entire support system and prevent the canopy from tipping over or shaking under the action of wind or other external forces. By plugging the support column 5 into the slot 4 of the support base 1, the canopy can be quickly and easily built and disassembled. The plug-in design avoids cumbersome assembly steps and saves time and energy. By inserting the support column 5 into the slot 4 of the support base 1, a more solid and stable connection can be formed. This connection method can enhance the strength and durability of the entire support system, so that the canopy can withstand the test of different environments and weather conditions. The first support rod 2, the second support rod 3 and the support column 5 are centrally installed on a support base 1, and the design of the plug-in slot 4 can provide a stable support system, simplify the construction process, and increase the strength and durability of the canopy. Such a design helps to improve the convenience and reliability of outdoor use of the canopy.

[0034] In some embodiments of the utility model, the support seat 1 includes a pivot seat 11, and the pivot seat 11 has a limit portion for limiting the inclination angle of the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3. The first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 are pivoted on the pivot seat 11 and are kept in the unfolded state by the limit portion. In this way, the inclination angle of the first support rod and the second support rod is controlled by the limit portion of the pivot seat 11, and the canopy can be unfolded at a desired angle and maintain balance. Ensure the stability and balance of the canopy. At the same time, the design of the pivot seat 11 makes the operation simple and improves the convenience of building and using the canopy.

[0035] In some embodiments, the bottom of the pivot seat 11 has a support plate 12, and the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 are against the support plate 12 when they are in the unfolded state. In this way, the support plate 12 constitutes the aforementioned limiting portion, which realizes the locking of the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3. By using the support plate 12 at the bottom as a limiting portion, no additional complex devices or parts are required to achieve the locking of the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3. Such a design simplifies the structure, reduces the components and assembly steps, and makes the construction and disassembly of the canopy easier and more efficient. By placing the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 against the support plate 12, a balanced distribution of force can be achieved, reducing single-point pressure and stress concentration. This helps to improve the overall stability and durability of the canopy, so that it can better cope with various external environments and challenges. Specifically, the angle between the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 and the horizontal plane when they are in the unfolded state is not greater than 20°, preferably not greater than 10°, and more preferably not greater than 5°. Exemplarily, the angle is 2.5-5°, so the ridge angle of the top of the tent is limited by adjusting the inclination angle of the first support pole 2 and the second support pole 3 to avoid being too large or too small. A ridge angle that is too large or too small may cause structural instability, which may be easily tilted or collapsed by external forces. By adjusting the inclination angle, a suitable ridge angle can be maintained to provide better structural stability. The appropriate ridge angle helps rainwater flow out of the top of the canopy to avoid water accumulation. By adjusting the inclination angle of the first support pole 2 and the second support pole 3, the slope of the top of the canopy can be controlled to allow rainwater to flow down smoothly, preventing water from being retained at the top and causing leakage problems.

[0036] In this embodiment, the support seat 1 also includes a sleeve connected to the pivot seat 11, the sleeve defines a vertically extending slot 4, the bottom of the pivot seat 11 has a backing plate 12, and a reinforcing rib is connected between the outer wall of the sleeve and the bottom wall of the backing plate to strengthen the connection strength between the sleeve and the pivot seat. Specifically, the sleeve is connected below the pivot seat 11, the slot 4 is vertically downward, and the top of the support column 5 is inserted into the slot 4. After the support column 5 is inserted into the slot 4, it can effectively prevent the support column 5 from sliding or shifting during use. The connection can be completed by inserting the top of the support column 5 into the slot 4 of the sleeve. This connection method makes the operation more convenient and reduces the time and effort of assembly and disassembly. Since the slot 4 in the sleeve extends vertically downward, the support column 5 can be adjusted vertically in the slot 4. This makes it more flexible and convenient to adjust the height of the support column 5. The height of the canopy can be freely adjusted as needed to adapt to different venues or usage requirements.

[0037] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 are arranged symmetrically. Figure 3After folding, the first support rod and the second support rod are parallel to each other and close to each other, so as to realize compact bundle packaging.

[0038] In some other optional embodiments, such as Figure 5-Figure 7 The first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 are pivotally connected to the pivot seat through the same rotating shaft, that is, the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 are staggered front and back. In this way, when the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 are in a folded state, such a staggered arrangement enables the first support rod and the second support rod to be closer together when folded, thereby achieving a more compact packaging form, which can further enhance the effect of compact bundle packaging and ensure that the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 do not interfere with each other or be misaligned when folded.

The tent provided in this embodiment is opened and folded by two sets of tarpaulin support assemblies. The first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 are unfolded to open the curtain 7 of the canopy, and the support column 5 and the wind rope are used to stably position the canopy on the ground. At this time, the top of the canopy forms a ridge shape. After the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 are folded, they are folded together with the support seat 1 to reduce the storage volume, and the entire opening and closing process is convenient and quick.

[0041] In addition, the first support rod 2 is connected to the first connection part 81, and the second support rod 3 is connected to the second connection part 82, which avoids the trouble of inserting the rod on the curtain 7, making the process of unfolding and folding faster. Optionally, the two support columns 5 are respectively inserted into the slots 4 of the two support seats 1. Specifically, the first connection part 81 and the second connection part 82 are cloth sleeves, and the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 are inserted with the cloth sleeves. For example, please refer to Fig. 9 The cloth cover is fixedly connected to the ends of the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 by screws 91, 92. The cloth cover has a zipper to take out or fix the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3.

[0042] In some examples, when the skylight needs to be unfolded, the curtain 7 is opened, and the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 on the curtain are unfolded until the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 are abutted against the abutment plate 12, and the support column 5 is inserted into the slot 4 of the support seat 1, and then the support column 5 is erected.
