Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of awnings, and in particular to an awning connection structure. Background Art
[0002] In the vast world of the outdoors, an awning is a temporary residence for outdoor travel enthusiasts, a safe haven for them to protect themselves from wind and rain and to rest their souls. However, traditional awning designs often leave gaps at the joints of different parts. These tiny cracks become hidden dangers of water leakage when it rains and rains, turning the awning, which should have been a warm shelter, into a synonym for dampness and discomfort. This problem has long troubled outdoor enthusiasts and has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the utility model provides a canopy connection structure, which uses magnetic force as a connection medium to seamlessly combine the side panels with the canopy body. When the side panels are close to the canopy body, the strong attraction between the two magnets quickly takes effect, firmly adsorbing the side panels on the canopy body to form a tight closed system, effectively blocking the intrusion of rain and wind dust.
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0005] A canopy connection structure is used to connect a side panel to a canopy main body, comprising a connector connected to the side panel and located below the canopy main body, a connecting buckle leaf connected to the connector and located above the canopy main body, a first magnet installed on the connecting buckle leaf, and a second magnet installed on the connector, wherein the first magnet and the second magnet are magnetically attracted to each other and clamp the canopy main body.
[0006] During the journey of outdoor camping, a sturdy and sealed canopy is a fortress against wind and rain. To this end, we designed an innovative canopy connection structure, which uses magnetic force as a connection medium to seamlessly combine the side panels with the canopy body, ensuring a dry and comfortable shelter for campers even in bad weather. The core of this connection structure lies in three parts: the first magnet of the connecting buckle installed on the connector, the second magnet corresponding to it, and the connector that carries the second magnet. When the side panel approaches the canopy body, the strong attraction between the two magnets quickly takes effect, firmly adsorbing the side panel to the canopy body, forming a tight closed system, effectively blocking the intrusion of rain and wind and dust.
[0007] The advantages of this design are obvious:
[0008] Seamless combination: The connector and the connecting buckle are respectively close to the lower surface and upper surface of the awning body, realizing the sealing effect on the upper surface and the lower surface of the awning body. Through two-level sealing, the gap is effectively eliminated, and the strong attraction of the magnet is used to ensure the perfect connection between the connector and the awning body, eliminating the gaps that may be caused by traditional fasteners, and greatly improving the waterproof performance of the awning.
[0009] Convenient operation: The use of magnetic connection simplifies the installation process of the side panels. Users can complete the installation with just a light stick, which greatly saves time and energy.
[0010] Durable and reliable: The magnet itself has high durability and is not easy to damage. It can still maintain stable magnetic force during long-term use, ensuring the long-term reliability of the connection structure.
[0011] Beautiful and elegant: The magnets are hidden inside the connector and are not exposed, making the awning look neat and adding a sense of modernity and technology.
[0012] Strong adaptability: The connection structure is suitable for awning side panels of various materials and sizes, and has good versatility and expansibility.
[0013] In short, this magnetic canopy connection structure, with its seamless, convenient, durable, beautiful and adaptable characteristics, provides a safer, more comfortable and efficient camping solution for outdoor enthusiasts. In the future, we expect this technology to be more widely used, so that more campers can find their own piece of pure land in nature.
[0014] Preferably, the connecting piece is a cotton strip, a cross bar or a trachea.
[0015] The connector is made of cotton strips, and this choice is based on multiple considerations. As a soft and elastic material, cotton strips are not only easy to fold and store, but also have the following significant advantages:
[0016] Cushioning protection: The softness of the cotton strips provides additional cushioning for the connection between the side panels and the main body of the awning, reducing the wear that may be caused by direct contact with hard materials and extending the service life of the awning.
[0017] Sound insulation and noise reduction: The cotton strip material can absorb some external noise, creating a quieter resting environment inside the awning, which is especially suitable for use in noisy outdoor environments.
[0018] Thermal insulation: The cotton strips have certain thermal insulation properties, which can adjust the temperature inside the awning to a certain extent, so that campers can enjoy a suitable temperature in different seasons.
[0019] In addition to the cotton strips, crossbars or air tubes can also be used to carry the magnets.
[0020] Preferably, the connecting buckle page is made of cloth.
[0021] The fabric has good bendability and can be wrapped around the top of the awning body, so that the awning body can be clamped up and down by two magnets.
[0022] Preferably, the second magnet is connected to the top of the cotton strip.
[0023] The second magnet is connected to the top of the cotton strip, and the cotton strip serves to form the second magnet, ensuring that the second magnet can effectively attract the first magnet on the connecting buckle page on the connecting piece.
[0024] Preferably, the connecting member is located at the top of the side panel.
[0025] The connecting piece is located at the top of the side piece, and the side piece and the awning body can be seamlessly connected through the magnetic attraction of the first magnet and the second magnet.
[0026] Preferably, the top of the side panel is surrounded to form a semi-enclosed chamber, and an adjustable support rod is provided in the semi-enclosed chamber.
[0027] The top of the side panels wraps around to form a semi-enclosed chamber, which cleverly provides a stable mounting position for the support pole. The semi-enclosed design of the chamber also makes it easy for users to adjust or replace the support pole when necessary, increasing the flexibility and maintainability of the awning.
[0028] Preferably, the first magnet is connected to the connecting buckle page stitching.
[0029] The first magnet is connected to the connecting buckle page by sewing. This connection method is not only firm and reliable, but also can make the combination between the magnet and the connecting buckle page tighter, reducing the risk of connection failure caused by loose magnet.
[0030] Preferably, the number of the first magnets is one or more, and the plurality of first magnets are evenly distributed.
[0031] The number of the first magnets can be one in the shape of a strip, or multiple and evenly distributed on the canopy body. This distribution ensures a more balanced connection between the side panels and the canopy body, and each magnet can bear the corresponding attraction, thereby enhancing the stability and firmness of the entire connection system. Evenly distributed magnets can also reduce the risk of affecting the overall connection due to the failure of a single magnet.
[0032] Preferably, the number of the second magnets is equal to the number of the first magnets and their positions correspond one to one.
[0033] The number of second magnets is equal to the number of first magnets, and their positions correspond one to one. This precise alignment design ensures that the magnetic connection between the side panels and the canopy body can be established accurately and quickly, greatly simplifying the installation and removal process. The one-to-one design also means that the magnetic force of each magnet can be fully utilized, improving the efficiency and reliability of the magnetic connection.
[0034] Preferably, the side portions of the side panels are also connected with Velcro.
[0035] The side panels can be connected to the front and back of the awning via Velcro to increase the connection firmness of the side panels.
[0036] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0037] The canopy connection structure of the utility model uses magnetic force as a connection medium to seamlessly combine the side piece with the canopy body, ensuring that a dry and comfortable shelter can be provided for campers even in bad weather. The core of the connection structure lies in three parts: a first magnet for connecting the buckle leaf installed on the connecting piece, a second magnet corresponding thereto, and a connecting piece carrying the second magnet. When the side piece is close to the canopy body, the strong attraction between the two magnets quickly takes effect, firmly adsorbing the side piece on the canopy body to form a tight closed system, effectively blocking the intrusion of rain and wind and dust. The strong attraction of the magnet ensures the perfect docking between the connecting piece and the canopy body, eliminates the gap that may be generated by traditional fasteners, and greatly improves the waterproof and windproof performance of the canopy. The use of magnetic connection simplifies the installation process of the side piece. The user only needs to stick it lightly to complete the installation, which greatly saves time and energy. The magnet itself has high durability and is not easy to be damaged. It can still maintain a stable magnetic force during long-term use, ensuring the long-term reliability of the connection structure.
