Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of brackets, in particular to a turning connector for storing support rods. Background Art
[0002] The bending connector for tent and mosquito net supports is designed to meet user demands for flexibility and adaptability. For outdoor camping, home use, and other occasions, tents and mosquito nets need to adapt to different environments and spatial layouts. The bending connector's unique structure and functionality allow the support to bend or turn at the connection point, adjusting the overall shape and layout of the support.
[0003] Traditional support pole turning connectors can often only provide limited adjustment angles and cannot adapt to complex, changeable and irregular bracket shapes. Usually, turning connectors are fixed-angle, and the angle between the two rods is fixed. The existing fixed angles are 45 degrees, 90 degrees and 180 degrees, etc. In addition, when storing the fixed-angle turning connector, the turning connector and the two rods need to be disassembled and stored separately. The operation is cumbersome, which not only increases the storage burden of the user, but also may cause the connector to be damaged or lost during the disassembly and reinstallation process, thereby affecting the stability and service life of the entire bracket system. In response to the above problems, a support pole storage turning connector is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0019] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] refer to Figures 1 to 5 , a turning connector for supporting rod storage, including an upper plate body 1, a lower plate body 2 and a connecting column 3 fixedly connecting the two, two sliding blocks 4 are arranged between the upper plate body 1 and the lower plate body 2, and a rod 41 is arranged on one side of the two sliding blocks 4. The two sliding blocks 4 are provided with an interference groove 42. One end of the rod 41 is inserted into the corresponding interference groove 42 for fastening, and the other end of the rod 41 extends between the upper plate body 1 and the lower plate body 2. There are interference grooves 42 between the upper plate body 1 and the lower plate body 2. There is a circumferential slide groove 21 arranged circumferentially along the circumferential slide groove 21 and the two circumferential slide grooves 21 correspond to each other. Both ends of the sliding block 4 corresponding to the two circumferential slide grooves 21 are slidably arranged in its circumferential slide groove 21. A connecting structure is provided between the two sliding blocks 4 to bring the two together. A plurality of limit grooves 22 are provided on the inner side of the circumferential slide groove 21 and circumferentially spaced along the connecting column 3. The limit groove 22 is for the sliding block 4 to slide in and out, and a limit component is provided to limit the sliding block 4 in the limit groove 22.
[0021] The connection structure includes magnets 44 fixedly attached to the facing or opposing sides of the two sliding blocks 4, with oppositely charged magnets 44 attracting each other. The limit assembly includes a fixed column 11 integrally formed on the top surface of the upper disk body 1, two rotating arms 5 rotatably arranged along the axial direction of the fixed column 11, and an insertion rod 51 fixedly arranged on the end of each rotating arm 5 away from the fixed column 11. The top surface of the upper disk body 1 is provided with a plurality of through holes 12 extending into corresponding limit slots 22 along its circumference, a slot 43 is provided on one side of each of the two sliding blocks 4, and a linkage structure that simultaneously drives the two insertion rods 51 to sequentially insert or exit the slots 43 through the through holes 12. The linkage structure includes a limit ring 53 fixed on one rotating arm 5, a rotating groove 52 opened on the other rotating arm 5, and a compression spring 6 sleeved on the fixed column 11. One end of the compression spring 6 is fixedly connected to the upper disk body 1 and the other end is fixedly connected to the rotating arm 5. The limit ring 53 is coaxial with the fixed column 11, and the limit ring 53 extends into the rotating groove 52 and is rotatably arranged. When the compression spring 6 is not subjected to force, the insertion rod 51 is inserted into the slot 43. When the compression spring 6 is in a stretched state, the insertion rod 51 moves out of the slot 43.
[0022] Overall working process: when storage is required, pull the rotating arm 5 upwards, and the insertion rod 51 moves out of the slot 43. At this time, the sliding block 4 slides out of the limiting slot 22 and into the sliding slot 21, so that the magnets 44 facing each other on the two sliding blocks 4 attract each other and are sucked together, so that the two rods 1 can be used for storage, reducing space occupancy; when in use, the two sliding blocks 4 slide into the limiting slot 22 of the corresponding angle, and then pull the upper rotating arm 5 upwards and rotate it again, rotating to the angle corresponding to the two rods 1, release the rotating arm 5, and the compression spring 6 is subjected to the restoring force to drive the insertion rod 51 from the through hole 12 into the slot 43. At this time, the sliding block 4 is limited in the limiting slot 22 to achieve angle adjustment.
