Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tents, in particular to an air rib structure of an expandable tent. Background Art

[0002] At present, the design of large military tents is mainly steel frame structure, which has the disadvantages of heavy weight, large volume, time-consuming and labor-intensive installation, etc. The new inflatable tents in the prior art also have the problems of poor inflation and damage and leakage, resulting in unstable frame, which leads to tent collapse and damage to personnel and equipment and causes losses. For example, CN112459605A discloses a high-pressure inflatable tent, including a tent body and an inflatable frame located in the tent body, the inflatable frame includes a plurality of arched inflatable columns located in the tent body, and a transverse support structure connecting the arched inflatable columns. The arched inflatable columns are arranged in the connecting tent, so that when the arched inflatable columns are inflated to form a column, the arched inflatable columns will directly support the tent body, and then the tent body and the arched inflatable columns are connected together through a connecting device; the inflatable structure of this tent is an integral inflatable structure, and the inflatable port is not inflated smoothly and it is difficult to support the tent body. At the same time, the inflatable port is damaged and the tent collapses easily, causing losses.

[0003] At present, split air rib structures have also appeared on the market. For example, CN217205725U discloses an air rib structure of an inflatable tent, including a first air rib assembly and a second air rib assembly connected into one body on the outside, the first air rib assembly including a first base column and a plurality of first arched columns, the second air rib assembly including a second base column and a plurality of second arched columns, one end of the plurality of first arched columns is fixed on the first base column, the first arched column and the interior of the first base column are communicated, the other end of the first arched column is fixed on the second base column, one end of the second arched column is fixed on the first base column, the other end of the second arched column is fixed on the second base column, the second arched column and the interior of the second base column are communicated, and a second arched column is arranged next to each first arched column; the split setting of the air rib structure of the inflatable tent ensures the stability of the tent structure when the air column is damaged, and provides sufficient buffer time for emergency repair, but the connection relationship between the two arches is relatively complicated, and it is easy to split, and there is no extended support structure at the front and rear ends.

[0034] Before the tent is put into use, the air ribs are connected and assembled together, and then debugged to be qualified. During specific use, the vehicle-mounted interface can always be fixedly connected to the bulkhead of the shelter. When necessary, the vehicle can be maneuvered to the designated area, and the tent can be lowered from the cabin. When the tent reaches the designated area, it can be unfolded and the air ribs can be inflated using an air pump: connect the power supply of the air pump; lift the inflation port cover curtain, fix it in the upper Velcro position, unfold the protective sleeve, and unscrew the air inlet valve protective cover by hand: align the bellows of the automatic inflation air supply pump with the air inlet valve, insert and rotate, and connect the automatic inflation pump.
