Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of outdoor products, in particular to a tarpaulin unit and a modularly assembled tent and enclosure. Background Art

[0002] An outdoor tent is a shed erected on the ground to provide shelter from wind, rain, and sunlight and for temporary living. It is mostly made of canvas and can be disassembled and moved at any time. The common tents on the market today are conventionally assembled by separating the tarpaulin from the poles, which are assembled only after arriving at the site. Various parts and tools are required. When erecting the tent, the poles need to be placed in a corresponding position and inserted into the sleeves or connected to the soft surface by hooks. Operators need to understand the names and usage of each component and be familiar with the structure of the tent in order to erect it quickly and conveniently. In the prior art, outdoor tents can refer to a tent described in the Chinese utility model patent with announcement number "CN210918455U". This tent speeds up the erection and folding speed, eliminates the need to insert the poles, and saves time and effort. That is, the prior art aims to optimize the skeleton structure of the tent to achieve quick assembly and disassembly.

[0003] In addition, the enclosures referred to in this case include outdoor windbreaks or hunting screens. Outdoor windbreaks are mainly structures used to block airflow. During outdoor tourism activities, people are easily affected by airflow when making fires and cooking. At this time, if you choose to place the stove in the tent, there is a risk of fire, smoke poisoning or suffocation, so people usually choose to set up enclosures next to the stove. The hunting screen mainly serves a concealing purpose. The enclosure can refer to the windbreak tent recorded in the announcement number "CN219387431U", which includes at least two folding units; the folding units are connected to each other, and the midpoints of each folding unit are located on the same axis; the folding unit includes a tarpaulin and a support assembly supporting the tarpaulin, and the tarpaulins between the folding units are connected as a whole; the tarpaulin is made of flexible material, and there is an angle between any two folding units, and the angle of the angle can be changed by folding the folding unit.

[0004] In the past, the outdoor tent and the enclosure were both separate products with no universality. Even the enclosure tent proposed in the above-mentioned "CN219387431U" can only be constructed into a bottomless tent structure, and is greatly limited by the structure of the enclosure.

[0005] This solution optimizes and improves the existing technology and proposes a tarpaulin unit that can connect multiple pieces to meet the various usage needs of users. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the first purpose of the present invention is to provide a tarpaulin unit, which has a modular design for the tarpaulin unit so that the tarpaulin unit can be disassembled and assembled through detachable connecting components, and can be infinitely expanded and combined to achieve more usage methods.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A tarpaulin unit comprises a tarpaulin and a support unit for supporting the tarpaulin; the characteristic is that the outer contour of the tarpaulin is constructed into a geometric shape capable of edge-to-edge docking, and a detachable connecting component is constructed on the outer contour edge of the tarpaulin; based on the detachable connecting component, the tarpaulin edges of two adjacent groups of tarpaulin units are seamlessly docked.

[0009] The utility model adopts the above-mentioned technical solution, which relates to a tarpaulin unit. The tarpaulin in the tarpaulin unit is stretched out by a support unit, and the outer contour of the tarpaulin is constructed into a geometric shape capable of edge-jointing. This refers to a shape that can be seamlessly or nearly seamlessly connected together on a two-dimensional or three-dimensional plane using a certain splicing method. Specifically, the tarpaulin edges of two adjacent tarpaulin units can be seamlessly joined using detachable connecting components on the outer contour edges of the tarpaulin.

[0010] The above solution modularizes the tarpaulin unit so that the tarpaulin unit can be disassembled and assembled through detachable connecting components, and can be infinitely expanded and combined to achieve more usage methods.

[0011] In a specific embodiment, the outer contour edge of the tarpaulin includes at least one straight edge, which is provided with a detachable connecting assembly. The straight edges of two adjacent tarpaulin units are seamlessly connected via the detachable connecting assembly. In this embodiment, the use of straight edges connected via the detachable connecting assembly facilitates connection and more easily achieves seamless connection.

[0012] In a specific embodiment, the outer contour of the tarpaulin is constructed as a regular polygon, with two adjacent corners of the outer contour each having a straight edge. A detachable connecting assembly allows any two straight edges of two adjacent tarpaulin units to be seamlessly joined. The regular polygon can be a regular triangle, square, or pentagon, among other shapes. Using a regular polygon approach allows for any edge to be joined, making it more convenient and allowing for a wider range of combinations.

[0013] In a specific embodiment, the support unit comprises multiple support rods extending from the center of the tarpaulin toward its edges; the linear edge of the tarpaulin's outer contour is formed between the outer ends of two adjacent support rods. This embodiment specifies that the tarpaulin is extended using multiple support rods, and the linear edge is positioned between the outer ends of two adjacent support rods. Therefore, when the linear edge is connected using a detachable connecting assembly, it will not be interfered with by the support rods.

[0014] In a further embodiment, the support unit includes a fixed plate fixed to the center of the tarpaulin and a plurality of support rods whose inner ends are connected to the fixed plate; the outer ends of the plurality of support rods are respectively connected to the end corners of the outer contour of the tarpaulin. In this embodiment, the fixed plate is used to connect the inner ends of the support rods to the center of the tarpaulin, thereby improving the connection strength.

[0015] In a further embodiment, the inner ends of the multiple support rods are hingedly mounted on a fixed disk, allowing the multiple support rods to be flipped relative to the fixed disk to open or close the tarpaulin unit. This allows individual tarpaulin units to be folded and stored, reducing their volume when stored. The connection and rotational structure between the fixed disk and the support rods can be referenced in the related solution described in Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. "CN210918455U."

[0016] In a further embodiment, the detachable connecting component is constructed as a zipper, Velcro, button, or snap fastener. This embodiment allows for seamless joining of the edges of two adjacent tarpaulin units. Seamless joining as referred to herein includes partially overlapping tarpaulin edges. For example, using buttons or snap fasteners, while there is no guarantee of a perfect fit between adjacent buttons or snap fasteners, the overlapping edges of the tarpaulin can still be considered seamless joining for the purposes of this case.

[0017] The second purpose of the present invention is to provide a modularly assembled enclosure comprising a plurality of tarpaulin units, characterized in that: the tarpaulin units are the tarpaulin units described above; the plurality of tarpaulin units are connected by detachable connecting components to form a single-sided or multi-sided wind wall body; at least one of the multi-sided wind wall bodies has an inlet and outlet. In this solution, a single-sided wind wall body only needs to be placed at the upstream wind outlet. A multi-sided wind wall body provides better windproofing, but at least one inlet and outlet must be left for easy passage.

[0018] The third purpose of the present invention is to provide a modularly assembled tent, comprising a plurality of tarpaulin units; the characteristics are: the tarpaulin units adopt the tarpaulin units described above; some tarpaulin units are connected to form at least two side panels through detachable connecting components, and a single or multiple tarpaulin units are connected to the top of the side panels to construct a canopy; each tarpaulin unit constituting the canopy has at least two sides of tarpaulin edges connected to other tarpaulin units.

[0019] This solution uses multiple modular tarpaulin units to form a tent. The side panels have at least two sides to support the top of the canopy. Each tarpaulin unit is connected to other tarpaulin units on at least two sides to ensure it is supported at the top. This solution allows for unlimited expansion of the tent's modular design, enabling a wider range of uses.

[0020] In a further embodiment, a base fabric is further included, and an edge of the base fabric is connected to the lower edge of the side panel via a detachable connecting assembly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment relates to a tarpaulin unit, comprising a tarpaulin 11, and a support unit 12 for supporting the tarpaulin 11. The outer contour of the tarpaulin 11 is constructed into a geometric shape capable of edge-to-edge docking, and a detachable connecting component is constructed on the outer contour edge of the tarpaulin 11. Based on the detachable connecting component, the edges of the tarpaulins 11 of two adjacent groups of tarpaulin units 10 are seamlessly docked. The tarpaulin 11 in the tarpaulin unit 10 is stretched out by the support unit 12, and the outer contour of the tarpaulin 11 is constructed into a geometric shape capable of edge-to-edge docking, which refers to a figure that can be seamlessly or nearly seamlessly connected together on a two-dimensional plane or a three-dimensional plane using a certain splicing method. Specifically, the seamless docking of the edges of the tarpaulins 11 of two adjacent groups of tarpaulin units 10 can be achieved by the detachable connecting component on the outer contour edge of the tarpaulin 11.

[0036] The above solution provides a modular design for the tarpaulin unit 10, so that the tarpaulin unit 10 can be assembled and disassembled through detachable connecting components, and can be infinitely expanded and combined to achieve more usage methods.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, the outer contour of the tarpaulin 11 includes at least one straight edge, which is provided with a detachable connecting assembly. The straight edges of two adjacent tarpaulin units 10 are seamlessly connected via the detachable connecting assembly. In this embodiment, the use of straight edges connected via the detachable connecting assembly facilitates connection and facilitates seamless connection.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the outer contour of the tarpaulin 11 is constructed as a regular polygon, with two adjacent corners of the outer contour of the tarpaulin 11 each having a straight edge. A detachable connecting assembly allows for seamless connection of any two straight edges of two adjacent tarpaulin units 10. These regular polygons can be equilateral triangles, squares, regular pentagons, and other shapes. Using a regular polygon approach allows for any edge connection, making connection more convenient and allowing for a wider range of possible combinations.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the support unit 12 includes a plurality of support rods 122 extending from the center of the tarpaulin 11 toward the edge of the tarpaulin 11. The straight edge on the outer contour of the tarpaulin 11 is constructed between the outer ends of two adjacent support rods 122. This embodiment defines the use of a plurality of support rods 122 to stretch the tarpaulin 11, and the straight edge is set between the outer ends of two adjacent support rods 122. Therefore, the straight edge will not be interfered with by the support rods 122 when connected using a detachable connection assembly. In a further embodiment, the support unit 12 includes a fixed plate 121 fixed to the center of the tarpaulin 11, and a plurality of support rods 122 with inner ends connected to the fixed plate 121. The outer ends of the plurality of support rods 122 are respectively connected to the end corners of the outer contour of the tarpaulin 11. In this embodiment, the fixed plate 121 is used to connect the inner ends of the support rods 122 to the center of the tarpaulin 11, thereby improving the connection strength. In a further embodiment, the inner ends of the plurality of support rods 122 are hingedly mounted on a fixed plate 121. The plurality of support rods 122 can be flipped relative to the fixed plate 121 to open or close the tarpaulin unit 10. This allows a single tarpaulin unit 10 to be folded and stored, thus reducing its volume when stored. The connection and rotational structure between the fixed plate 121 and the support rods 122 can be found in the related solution described in Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. "CN210918455U."

[0040] In a further embodiment, the detachable connecting component is constructed as a zipper, Velcro, button, or snap fastener. This embodiment allows for seamless joining of the edges of the tarpaulins 11 of two adjacent tarpaulin units 10. Seamless joining herein includes partially overlapping edges of the tarpaulins 11. For example, using buttons or snap fasteners, while there is no guarantee that two adjacent buttons or snap fasteners will fit perfectly together, the overlapping edges of the tarpaulins 11 can still be considered seamless joining in this case.

[0041] The tarpaulin units 10 can be infinitely expanded and combined to achieve more usages. Specifically, they can be spliced ​​into the enclosure described in Example 2 and the tent described in Example 3.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] like Figures 2-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a modularly assembled enclosure, including a plurality of tarpaulin units 10. The tarpaulin unit 10 adopts the tarpaulin unit 10 described in Example 1. The plurality of tarpaulin units 10 are connected to form a single-sided or multi-sided enclosed wind wall body through a detachable connecting component. An inlet and outlet are left on at least one side of the multi-sided enclosed wind wall body. In the scheme here, a single-sided wind wall body only needs to be placed at the upstream wind outlet. The multi-sided enclosed wind wall body has a better wind blocking effect, but at least one inlet and outlet must be left for easy passage.

[0044] Example 3:

[0045] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a modular tent comprising multiple tarpaulin units 10. These tarpaulin units 10 utilize the tarpaulin units 10 described in Example 1. Some of these tarpaulin units 10 are connected via detachable connecting components to form at least two side panels 100. One or more tarpaulin units 10 are attached to the tops of the side panels 100 to form a canopy 102. Each tarpaulin unit 10 comprising the canopy 102 has at least two side panels 11 at the edges of which connect to other tarpaulin units 10.

[0046] In this solution, multiple tarpaulin units 10 are modularly assembled into a tent. The side panels 100 of the tent have at least two sides to support the top canopy 102. Each tarpaulin unit 10 of the canopy 102 is connected to other tarpaulin units 10 on at least two sides to ensure it is supported at the top. This solution allows for unlimited expansion of the tent's modular design, enabling a wider range of uses.

[0047] In a further embodiment, a base fabric is further included, and an edge of the base fabric is connected to the lower edge of the side panel 100 via a detachable connecting assembly.
