Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a sliding connection device, in particular to a sliding connection device for a folding tent, belonging to the technical field of sliding components. Background Technique

[0002] With the development of the economy and the improvement of people's material living standards, outdoor tourism has become one of the choices for people to relax. Among them, the folding tent has become a necessary choice for outdoor tourism, especially for picnics and camping, because it has the effect of shading and sheltering from rain.

[0003] The folding tent is widely loved because it can be opened to form a large shielding space, or folded into a storage state and a tool box that is easy to carry. Specifically, during the opening and closing process of the folding tent, the connection cross-tube assembly and the top-tube assembly are in a changing state. Generally, the connecting square at the highest point of the leg tube assembly is fixed, and the connecting square below moves up and down to achieve the purpose of opening and closing. The ease of opening and closing depends on the flexibility of the movement of the connecting square below.

[0004] In the prior art, the publication number CN206888665U is an unfolding and fixing device for a folding tent and a folding tent, including a support rod, a base, and a telescopic guide rod; one end of the guide rod is connected to the top connection seat of the folding tent, and the other end of the guide rod is connected to the base; a locking mechanism that cooperates with each other is provided on the base and the guide rod. When the folding tent is unfolded and fixed, the base and the guide rod are locked by the locking mechanism. When this device is used on a folding tent, when using the folding tent, it is not necessary to lock each leg, and after using the folding tent, it is not necessary to unlock each leg one by one to fold and store, thus simplifying the operation procedure of the folding tent and making it convenient to use. However, the problem with this folding tent is that in order to increase the shielding space, by means of gaps or adding vertical strip ribs to reduce the frictional resistance and increase the flexibility, but if the gaps are too large, the overall tent frame will be unstable, loose and shaking, and the effect of adding ribs is also difficult to be satisfactory, and it is still relatively difficult to open and close the tent frame, resulting in a poor user experience, especially for large, heavy and strong tents.
