A large-span automatic unfolding and retracting tent provided by the present utility model includes a base 1, an automatic unfolding and retracting unit 2, a main frame 3, and a tarpaulin.

[0046] The tent has an unfolded state and a retracted state.

[0047] The base 1 is disposed at the bottom of the tent, and the automatic unfolding and retracting unit 2 is placed at one end of the upper end surface. In the retracted state, the base 1 and the automatic unfolding and retracting unit 2 jointly support the main frame 3.

[0048] The main body frame 3 includes a plurality of skeletons 301 and the same number of legs 302 as that of the skeletons 301. In the retracted state, the plurality of skeletons 301 are parallel and close to each other, and the first ends of adjacent skeletons 301 are hinged to each other. A middle frame 303 is provided at the first end of the outermost skeleton 301. The second end of each skeleton 301 is hinged to the corresponding leg 302 respectively.

[0049] The automatic unfolding and retracting unit 2 includes a lifting mechanism 201, a rotating mechanism 202 and a power control module 206. The lower end of the lifting mechanism 201 is connected to the base 1, and the upper end is connected to the rotating mechanism 202. The middle frame 303 is movably sleeved on the rotating mechanism 202. The power control module 206 is disposed on the upper end surface of the base 1 and is electrically connected to the lifting mechanism 201 and the rotating mechanism 202. The automatic unfolding and retracting unit 2 is used to lift or lower the main body frame 3 and drive the plurality of skeletons 301 to rotate and unfold or rotate and retract in an umbrella shape through the middle frame 303.

[0050] In the unfolded state, the tarpaulin is laid on the plurality of skeletons 301.

[0051] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, the lower end of the automatic unfolding and retracting unit 2 is preferably fixed on the upper end surface of the base 1 by welding or screw connection.

[0052] It should be noted that in Figure 6 , the left skeleton 301 is the outermost skeleton 301. Figure 10 It can be seen that a skeleton fixing seat 3031 is provided on one side of the middle frame 303. Figure 6 In Figure 6 , the outermost skeleton 301 is fixed on the skeleton fixing seat 3031 by screws.

[0053] It should be noted that preferably each skeleton 301 is hinged to the leg 302. It is also possible to adopt the method as Figure 4 shown, in which the spaced skeletons 301 are hinged to the legs 302, as long as sufficient supporting strength can be provided.

[0054] It should be noted that the power control module 206 includes a PLC (the acronym of Programmable Logic Controller, and the full Chinese name is Programmable Logic Controller) unit and a control button; the PLC unit can also be a circuit including at least one processor, or a circuit including at least one single-chip microcomputer, or a combination form of multiple circuits or chips, as long as the corresponding functions can be realized; it can be understood that for those skilled in the art, the control circuit can also be a common circuit composed of an amplifier, a comparator, a triode, a MIS tube, etc. to realize the corresponding functions in a pure hardware manner; the control button can be fixed outside the power control module 206, and the function of unfolding and folding the tent can be realized by personnel operation; the remote control method of the existing technology can also be used to control the unfolding and folding of the tent; it can be understood that for those skilled in the art, the control button can be in the form of common buttons, cables or wireless receivers, etc., and the corresponding functions can be realized.

[0055] It should be noted that the middle frame 303 has a hollow bottom structure and can be movably sleeved on the rotating mechanism 202 and driven by the rotating mechanism 202 to rotate.

[0056] It should be noted that the tarpaulin, preferably made of canvas material, has several hooks on the inner surface (preferably fixed by sewing method), which can cooperate with the buckles at several corresponding positions on the main frame 3 to fix the tarpaulin on the main frame 3.

[0057] In the specific implementation, the present utility model is provided with a base 1, which is used to support the automatic unfolding and folding unit 2 and the main frame 3 in the folded state, providing a folding platform for the folded tent, which is beneficial to the overall transportation and movement; the present utility model is provided with a main frame 3, which includes several skeletons 301 and a middle frame 303; when unfolding, all the skeletons 301 are unfolded in an umbrella shape driven by the middle frame 303, and when folded, all the skeletons 301 are close to each other; this structure can achieve a large unfolding and folding ratio (the ratio of the area after unfolding to the area after folding) and does not require too many manual connection operations, solving the problems that the volume of the large-span tent is large and occupies a lot of space after folding and the connection parts are easy to loosen at present; the present utility model is provided with an automatic unfolding and folding unit 2, which can lift or lower the main frame 3 and drive several of the skeletons 301 to rotate and unfold or rotate and fold in an umbrella shape through the middle frame 303; this structure can realize the automatic unfolding and folding of the large-span tent, solving the problems that the process of unfolding and folding the large-span tent at present is laborious and time-consuming.

[0058] In the embodiments provided by the present utility model, an inter-bone truss 304 is provided between the second ends of each of the skeletons 301 and the second ends of the adjacent skeletons 301; the inter-bone truss 304 is a folding structure, and the two ends are respectively hinged to the second ends of the adjacent skeletons 301, and is used to support two adjacent skeletons 301 in the unfolded state.

[0059] It should be noted that, as Figure 5 shown, the inter-bone truss 304 is preferably formed by hinging two connecting rods. In the retracted state, the inter-bone truss 304 folds inward and retracts between the two side skeletons 301; in the unfolded state, the two connecting rods of the inter-bone truss 304 unfold to form a straight connecting rod structure.

[0060] In specific implementation, the inter-bone truss 304 can play a role in connecting the adjacent two side skeletons 301; the two-end folding structure can play a role in stable support after unfolding, and reduce the occupied space after retracting.

[0061] In one embodiment, there are two main frames 3, namely a first main frame 311 and a second main frame 312; in the retracted state, the first main frame 311 and the second main frame 312 are retracted and arranged side by side; in the unfolded state, the skeletons 301 on both sides of the first main frame 311 and the second main frame 312 are correspondingly connected.

[0062] It should be noted that Figure 3 shows the structure of a single main frame 3, Figure 7 is the structure after a single main frame is unfolded, and an independent tent frame can be formed after unfolding; further, two main frames 3 can be arranged side by side, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, an approximately circular tent frame (not shown in the figure) can be formed after unfolding, and the corresponding skeletons 301 between the two main frames 3 can be connected by common buckles.

[0063] In specific implementation, by adopting the structure of two main frames 3, a tent with a larger span and a larger accommodation space can be obtained.

[0064] In one embodiment, as Figure 8 , Figure 9As shown, first extension skeletons 305 are arranged on both sides of the first main body frame 311 and the second main body frame 312; both ends of each first extension skeleton 305 are connected to corresponding ends of the adjacent skeleton 301 through short awning trusses 306; the short awning trusses 306 are of a folding structure, and are respectively hinged to the first extension skeleton 305 and the adjacent skeleton 301 at both ends, and are used for supporting between the first extension skeleton 305 and the adjacent skeleton 301 in the unfolded state; in the retracted state, the 4 first extension skeletons 305 are correspondingly parallel and close to the skeletons 301 on both sides of the first main body frame 311 and the second main body frame 312; in the unfolded state, the first extension skeletons 305 on both sides of the first main body frame 311 are correspondingly connected to the first extension skeletons 305 on both sides of the second main body frame 312.

[0065] A leg 302 is hinged to one end of each first extension skeleton 305 away from the middle frame 303.

[0066] It should be noted that the short awning truss 306 has the same structure as the inter-bone truss 304. After retraction, the middle part thereof can be folded inwards to reduce the occupied space; after unfolding, it can play a role in connecting the skeleton 301 and the first extension skeleton 305; the first extension skeletons 305 on both sides of the two main body frames 3 can be connected through common buckles.

[0067] In specific implementation, adding first extension skeletons 305 on both sides of the two main body frames 3 can further increase the effective space of the tent.

[0068] In the embodiment provided by the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, second extension skeletons 307 are arranged on the outer sides of the 4 first extension skeletons 305; both ends of each second extension skeleton 307 are connected to corresponding ends of the adjacent first extension skeleton 305 through long awning trusses 308; the long awning trusses 308 are of a folding structure, and are respectively hinged to the second extension skeleton 307 and the adjacent first extension skeleton 305 at both ends, and are used for supporting between the second extension skeleton 307 and the adjacent first extension skeleton 305 in the unfolded state; in the retracted state, the 4 second extension skeletons 307 are correspondingly parallel and close to the first extension skeletons 305 on both sides of the first main body frame 311 and the second main body frame 312; in the unfolded state, the second extension skeletons 307 on both sides of the first main body frame 311 are correspondingly connected to the second extension skeletons 307 on both sides of the second main body frame 312.

[0069] It should be noted that the structure of the long awning truss 308 is the same as that of the short awning truss 306. After being folded up, the middle part can be folded inward to reduce the occupied space. After being unfolded, it can play the role of connecting the second expansion framework 307 and the first expansion framework 305. The second expansion frameworks 307 on both sides of the two main frameworks 3 can be connected by common latches.

[0070] In specific implementation, by adding second expansion frameworks 307 on both sides of the two main frameworks 3, the effective space of the tent can be further increased to realize a large-span tent structure.

[0071] In one embodiment, a connecting truss 309 is arranged on one side of the first main framework 311 or the second main framework 312. In the folded state, the connecting truss 309 is juxtaposed and close to the framework 301 of the first main framework 311 or the second main framework 312, and the first end is hingedly connected to the middle frame 303 of the first main framework 311 or the second main framework 312. In the unfolded state, the second end of the connecting truss 309 is detachably connected to the middle frame 303 of the second main framework 312 or the first main framework 311, so as to increase the connection strength between the first main framework 311 and the second main framework 312.

[0072] It should be noted that since the structures of the first main framework 311 and the second main framework 312 are basically the same and symmetrically arranged, the connecting truss 309 can be connected to either the first main framework 311 or the second main framework 312, which does not affect the unfolding and folding processes of the tent nor the use function of the tent.

[0073] It should be noted that a connecting truss fixing seat 3032 is arranged on one side of the middle frame 303, and is preferably fixedly connected by welding. The first end of the connecting truss 309 is hingedly connected to the connecting truss fixing seat 3032 and can rotate with the first end as the midpoint.

[0074] It should be noted that a limiting block (not shown in the figure, preferably fixed by welding) is arranged on the outer side of the first end of the connecting truss 309. When the connecting truss 309 rotates 90° outward relative to the middle frame 303, the limiting block abuts against the cylindrical surface of the middle frame 303 to prevent the connecting truss 309 from continuing to rotate relative to the middle frame 303. That is, during the unfolding process, the connecting truss 309 should be rotated 90° outward to the limiting position in advance, and then the middle frame 303 rotates driven by the rotating mechanism 202 and drives the connecting truss 309 and other frameworks 301 to rotate to the unfolded position.

[0075] It should be noted that the second end of the connecting truss 309 can be fixed to the opposite middle frame 303 by means of screws or buckles after being unfolded.

[0076] In specific implementation, when the connecting truss 309 is in the deployed state, it connects the middle frames 303 of the first main frame 311 and the second main frame 312, which can effectively increase the connection strength between the two main frames 3 and make the overall tent structure more stable.

[0077] In the implementation mode provided by the present utility model, the automatic unfolding and folding unit 2 further includes a first horizontal telescopic mechanism 203 and a second horizontal telescopic mechanism 204; the first horizontal telescopic mechanism 203 and the second horizontal telescopic mechanism 204 have the same structure, are arranged in parallel and in opposite directions, the lower end surfaces of both are connected to the top end of the lifting mechanism 201, and the rotating mechanisms 202 are arranged on the upper end surfaces of both; the first horizontal telescopic mechanism 203 and the second horizontal telescopic mechanism 204 are both electrically connected to the power control module 206 and are used to move the first main frame 311 and the second main frame 312 away from or close to each other;

[0078] The first horizontal telescopic mechanism 203 and the second horizontal telescopic mechanism 204 both include a horizontal telescopic driving part and a horizontal telescopic transmission part; for the horizontal telescopic driving part, the power output end is connected to the power input end of the horizontal telescopic transmission part and is electrically connected to the power control module 206; the horizontal telescopic transmission part is a multi-stage telescopic structure;

[0079] The lifting mechanism 201 includes a lifting driving part and a lifting transmission part; for the lifting driving part, the power output end is connected to the power input end of the lifting transmission part and is electrically connected to the power control module 206; the lifting transmission part is a multi-stage telescopic structure and is used to lift or lower the first main frame 311 and the second main frame 312 under the drive of the lifting driving part;

[0080] The rotating mechanism 202 includes a rotating driving part and a cone barrel; for the rotating driving part, the power output end is connected to the cone barrel and is electrically connected to the power control module 206; the cone barrel is movably sleeved and connected to the middle frame 303 and is used to drive the middle frame 303 to rotate in the positive and negative directions.

[0081] It should be noted that the first horizontal telescopic mechanism 203 and the second horizontal telescopic mechanism 204 are preferably fixed to each other by welding, and the lower end surfaces of both are preferably connected to the top end of the lifting mechanism 201 by welding or screws; the relatively far ends of the first horizontal telescopic mechanism 203 and the second horizontal telescopic mechanism 204 are preferably fixed to their respective rotating mechanisms 202 by welding or screws.

[0082] It should be noted that as Figure 11As shown, since the first horizontal telescopic mechanism 203 and the second horizontal telescopic mechanism 204 are arranged side by side, the connection line between the two rotating mechanisms 202 cannot be parallel to the first horizontal telescopic mechanism 203 and the second horizontal telescopic mechanism 204; for this reason, one L-shaped adapter block 207 is provided at one end of any horizontal telescopic mechanism, and one rotating mechanism 202 is fixed on the adapter block, and the rotating mechanism 202 can be offset to one side; so as to make the connection line of the two rotating mechanisms 202 parallel to the first horizontal telescopic mechanism 203 and the second horizontal telescopic mechanism 204.

[0083] It should be noted that the horizontal telescopic drive part and the lifting drive part are both preferably linear motors; the horizontal telescopic transmission part and the lifting transmission part have similar structures, and both are preferably the existing three-stage electric cylinder structure, and a multi-stage screw-nut transmission mechanism is arranged inside; for those skilled in the art, a similar transmission mechanism can also be used, such as a multi-stage hydraulic cylinder structure, etc., as long as the structure used can achieve the same function.

[0084] It should be noted that the rotation drive part is preferably a stepping motor; the conical barrel is driven to rotate by the output end of the stepping motor, and its outer surface has the same shape as the hollow inner surface of the middle frame 303 (the present invention preferably adopts a multi-faceted structure), and they can cooperate with each other and transmit power.

[0085] In specific implementation, by setting the lifting mechanism 201, the first horizontal telescopic mechanism 203, the second horizontal telescopic mechanism 204 and the rotating mechanism 202, the automatic unfolding and folding of the tent can be realized, saving a lot of time and manpower, and there is no need to manually install and connect the fixed parts, reducing the probability of connection loosening.

[0086] In one embodiment, a telescopic fixing part 310 is arranged between each of the plurality of said skeletons 301 and the corresponding articulated leg 302; the telescopic fixing part 310 is a telescopic structure, one end is articulated to the skeleton 301, the other end is articulated to the leg 302, and a fixing part for restricting its telescopic length is arranged in the middle.

[0088] In specific implementation, by setting the telescopic fixing part 310, the leg 302 can be stably fixed at the corresponding position to prevent the leg 302 from swinging randomly.

[0092] In specific implementation, the support columns can play a role in supporting the main body frame 3, making the overall structure more stable in the folded state.
