[0024] The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below.
[0025] Example 1:
[0026] This embodiment provides a top-center connector 1 with a built-in lighting lamp 12, which is rotatably connected to the tent pole. Figure 1-3 As shown, the top-middle connector 1 includes a base body 11, on which a connecting rod is rotatably connected. The structure of the base body 11 for rotatably connecting the supporting rod is a conventional structure of the top-middle connector 1 and will not be described in detail here.
[0027] The lower end of the base 11, facing the interior of the tent, is formed with several light slots 111, each housing a built-in lamp 12. This arrangement integrates the lamps 12 with the top-center connector 1, eliminating the need for additional lighting when the tent is deployed. Furthermore, the built-in lamps 12 do not interfere with the tent's folding. Furthermore, because the top-center connector 1 is located at the center of the tent's top, it can illuminate the interior from the center, providing a wide range of light coverage.
[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the light trough 111 is an annular trough, and the illuminating lamp 12 is an annular light strip. The illuminating lamp 12 is preferably an LED lamp, which is compact and highly luminous. The use of an annular light strip offers advantages: its conventional shape makes it readily available for purchase and easy to replace if damaged; it also provides a wide illumination range. In a specific embodiment, two or more metal clips are provided within the light trough 111, securing the annular light strip within the trough 111 via these clips, making installation simple.
[0029] A reinforcement portion 112 is formed on the lower end surface of the base 11 to strengthen the overall structure of the base 11. In this embodiment, the base 11 is a metal component, and the reinforcement portion 112 contacts the lamp 12 within the lamp trough 111 to increase the contact area between the base 11 and the lamp 12. The entire metal base 11 enhances its strength. Furthermore, the contact portion between the metal component and the lamp 12, installed within the lamp trough 111, conducts heat and dissipates heat from the lamp 12. The reinforcement portion 112 contacts the lamp 12 within the lamp trough 111, improving heat dissipation and extending the life of the lamp 12.
[0030] The base 11 is provided with a wiring hole 113 connected to the lamp trough 111. The electrical connection line 4 is connected to the lighting lamp 12 in the lamp trough 111 through the wiring hole 113. The electrical connection line 4 is connected to the external controller 5 and / or power supply.
[0031] The base 11 further includes a cover 13, which is secured to the base 11 and covers the lamp 12. The cover 13 protects the lamp 12 from damage caused by collisions during transport or use of the top connector 1. The cover 13 is configured to allow light from the lamp 12 to pass through. In specific embodiments, the cover 13 is made of a translucent material or has a plurality of light-transmitting holes 131 formed on its surface. This prevents the cover 13 from affecting the illumination of the lamp 12.
[0032] A first through-hole is defined in the cover 13, and a second through-hole is defined in the base 11 corresponding to the first through-hole. A screw passes through the first and second through-holes, connecting the cover 13 and the base 11. In a preferred embodiment, the first through-hole is located in the middle of the cover 13 and extends through it, while the second through-hole is located in the middle of the base 11 and extends through it. During installation, after the cover 13 and the base 11 are positioned, the first and second through-holes are aligned, and the screw passes through the first and second through-holes, connecting the cover 13 and the base 11, and securing the screw through a threaded connection. This allows the cover 13 and the base 11 to be connected in a single connection using a single screw, resulting in a simple installation structure.
[0033] Example 2:
[0034] This embodiment provides a tent, including a support frame and a tarpaulin 3, wherein the support frame includes two or more support rods 2 and a top-center connector 1 with a built-in lighting lamp 12 as described in Example 1, and one end of the support rod 2 is rotatably connected to the base 11 of the top-center connector 1.
[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, a storage bag 31 is provided on the tarpaulin 3, and the controller 5 of the lighting lamp 12 is located inside the storage bag 31. The storage bag 31 integral with the tarpaulin 3 is provided to store the controller 5, which can prevent the controller 5 from being lost. A wire fixer 32 is provided on the tarpaulin 3 at a position corresponding to the interior roof of the tent. The electrical connection line 4 connecting the switch controller 5 and the lighting lamp 12 is fixed to the tarpaulin 3 at a position corresponding to the roof through the wire fixer 32. In a specific embodiment, the wire fixer 32 can be a wiring trough provided along one of the support rods 2, and the wiring trough is made of a soft surface material to facilitate the folding of the tarpaulin 3. The wiring trough can be made of the same material as the tarpaulin 3. The provision of the wire fixer 32 can make the routing of the electrical connection line 4 inside the tent more simple and beautiful.
[0036] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
