Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor equipment, specifically to a folding tent bed. Background Technology

[0002] A tent is a foldable, portable shelter typically used for outdoor camping, adventure, hiking, music festivals, sporting events, and other similar activities. They provide users with shelter from wind, rain, sun, and insects, ensuring adequate rest and protection during outdoor activities. Tents come in various structures and designs to suit different environments and needs. Generally, a tent includes tent poles, ropes, pegs, etc., for securing and setting up the tent, and a sleeping pad located at the bottom to insulate against ground moisture and protect the tent floor from wear. However, this increases the difficulty of carrying and setting up the tent, making the setup process relatively complex and requiring users to assemble it according to instructions or experience. Additionally, the tent floor cannot provide strong support, resulting in lower comfort levels. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a folding tent bed with a simple and compact structure. It does not require a complicated setup process; it can be used simply by unfolding it. It is also easy and quick to fold up, while providing strong rigid support and high comfort.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: a folding tent bed, comprising:

[0005] Set the bottom frame of the connecting blocks at the four corners.

[0006] The connecting block has a first mounting groove with its opening facing upward and extending backward through the connecting block. A horizontally extending strip hole is provided on the connecting block through the first mounting groove, and a hinge pin that slides through the first mounting groove slides within the strip hole.

[0007] A first rod is provided at the end of the base frame along its length. The bending of the first rod forms a first receiving space. The two ends of the first rod are connected to the pins of the corresponding hinge pins extending outward from the connecting blocks. The two ends of the movable plate are also connected to the pins of the corresponding hinge pins extending outward from the connecting blocks. A movable plate is provided at the end of the base frame along its length. The two ends of the movable plate are connected to the hinge pins in the corresponding first mounting grooves.

[0008] A flexible tent fabric is covered on the bottom frame. The wide side of the tent fabric is connected to the edge of the movable plate, the long side of the tent fabric is connected to the side of the long side of the bottom frame, and the outer side of the tent fabric is connected to the inner wall of the first receiving space corresponding to the first pole.

[0009] The movable plate includes a second rod, which is U-shaped, and a fabric layer is provided in the area enclosed by the second rod. The fabric layer is connected to the three side walls of the second rod.

[0010] At least one limiting groove is provided on the outer edge of the side wall of the first mounting groove, and a limiting pin is provided on the lower end of the movable plate.

[0011] The bottom frame includes a set of parallel support tubes and a lower bracket. The two ends of the support tubes are respectively connected to the third mounting groove or mounting hole on the connecting block. The upper end of the lower bracket is hinged to the inner side wall of the second mounting groove provided at the bottom of the connecting block. Adjacent support tubes are connected by a fabric layer. The second mounting grooves of the two connecting blocks located in the length direction of the bottom frame are opposite to each other, and the two second mounting grooves converge and extend upward.

[0012] An opening is provided on the side of the tent fabric, and the opening is detachably connected to the cover fabric.

[0013] The opening is connected to the cover via a zipper.

[0014] The strip holes of the two connecting blocks located along the length of the bottom frame converge and extend downwards.

[0015] The upper end of the upper side of the strip hole is provided with a lateral recess for accommodating the hinge pin.

[0016] The lower support includes a U-shaped frame, and a reinforcing tube is connected between the two long arm sections of the U-shaped frame.

[0017] The above solution offers the following advantages: The base frame provides robust support for the entire tent bed's bottom while simultaneously fixing the connecting blocks. The slotted holes on the connecting blocks facilitate adjustment of the hinge pins, allowing them to slide along the long axis of the slots. The first rod at the end of the base frame along its length can swing around the hinge pin, facilitating storage and supporting the tent fabric. In the supported state, the tent fabric bulges out significantly, providing a larger internal space for the folding tent bed. Each wide side of the base frame has an end plate, providing a portion of the tent bed's bottom. The tent panel forms the base of the tent bed and can also swing around the hinge pin for easy folding. When the foot of the movable panel rotates to its limit position, it contacts the wall of the first mounting slot, achieving a limiting position. By incorporating upward-extending strip holes, the height difference at the hinge point of the movable panel is minimized when unfolded, and it is nearly parallel to the base frame. When folded, the hinge pin is positioned higher within the strip holes, allowing the movable panel to be offset at a higher position against the base frame. After folding, it can be stored on the tent bed's base frame. Folding reduces the impact of the thickness of the base frame and movable panel, while ensuring excellent flatness between the base frame and movable panel when unfolded. The tent fabric provides shelter and also acts as a flexible connection between the various moving parts. The four sides of the tent fabric are evenly connected to the base frame or movable panel to form an interior space for living. This invention provides strong support at the bottom. Furthermore, during the entire tent bed setup process, no additional accessories such as tent poles, ropes, or nails are required for binding. The setup can be completed simply by unfolding the first pole and the movable board. When folding and storing, simply fold the first pole and the movable board together. The operation is simple and quick.

[0018] This utility model has a simple and compact structure, does not require a complicated assembly process, and can be used simply by unfolding it. It is also easy and quick to store, while providing strong rigid support and high comfort.

[0028] See Figure 1-3 An embodiment of a folding tent bed includes a bottom frame 100 with connecting blocks 110 at the four corners. Each connecting block 110 has a first mounting groove 113 with its opening facing upward and extending backward through the connecting block 110. A strip-shaped hole 117 extending upward through the first mounting groove 113 is provided on the connecting block 110. A hinge pin 111 that extends horizontally through the first mounting groove 113 slides within the strip-shaped hole 117.

[0029] The first rod 200 is provided at the end of the bottom frame 100 along its length. The bending of the first rod 200 forms a first receiving space to facilitate the passage and arrangement of the tent fabric. The two ends of the rod are connected to the pins of the connecting blocks 110 that extend outward from the corresponding hinge pins 111.

[0030] Each base frame 100 has a corresponding end movable plate 300 on its wide side. The two ends of the movable plate 300 are connected to the pins of the connecting blocks 110 extending outward from the corresponding hinge pins 111. Movable plates 300 are also provided at the ends of the base frame 100 along its length, and the two ends of the movable plates 300 are connected to the hinge pins 111 in the corresponding first mounting grooves 113.

[0031] A flexible tent fabric 400 is placed over the base frame 100. The wide side of the tent fabric 400 is connected to the edge of the movable plate 300, and the long side of the tent fabric 400 is connected to the side of the long side of the base frame 100. The outer side of the tent fabric 400 is connected to the inner wall of the first receiving space of the corresponding first pole 200. The connection can be made by adhesive or rope. An opening 401 is provided on the side of the tent fabric 400, and the opening 401 is detachably connected to a cover fabric 402 to facilitate personnel entry and exit. Furthermore, the opening 401 is connected to the cover fabric 402 by a zipper or fastener.

[0032] In some embodiments, the movable plate 300 includes a second rod 310, which is U-shaped and can be integrally formed from a hollow steel tube. A fabric layer is provided in the area enclosed by the second rod 310. The fabric layer is lightweight and is connected to the three side walls of the second rod 310, which can fix and straighten the fabric layer. Of course, the fabric layer can also be replaced by materials such as wood or plastic board. Its edges are connected to the second rod 310 to play a supporting role.

[0033] In some embodiments, at least one limiting groove 114 is provided on the outer edge of the sidewall of the first mounting groove 113, and a limiting pin 112 is provided on the lower end of the movable plate 300. The lower end of the movable plate 300 is limited by contacting the groove wall of the first mounting groove 113 through the limiting pin 112. The limiting pin 112 can abut against the sidewall in the groove wall of the first mounting groove 113. When the limiting groove 114 is provided on the outer edge of the sidewall, the angular position of the movable plate 300 can be restricted. When it is necessary to adjust the angular position or fold, the hinge pin 111 slides in the strip hole 117 and the limiting pin 112 is dislodged from the limiting groove 114 to continue adjustment. Multiple limiting grooves 114 can be provided according to different angles, and the limiting grooves 114 at different angles can keep the movable plate 300 at different required angles.

[0034] In some embodiments, the base frame 100 includes a set of parallel support tubes 101 and a lower bracket 102. The two ends of the support tubes 101 are connected to the third mounting groove 115 or mounting hole on the connecting block 110, respectively. The upper end of the lower bracket 102 is hinged to the inner wall of the second mounting groove 116 at the bottom of the connecting block 110. Adjacent support tubes 101 of the lower bracket 102 are connected by a fabric layer. The second mounting grooves 116 of the two connecting blocks 110 located along the length of the base frame 100 are opposite each other and converge upwards. This structure allows the lower bracket 102 to obliquely support the entire base frame 100 when it is open, with the bracket abutting against the groove wall of the second mounting groove 116 to maintain its positional stability. Further, the lower bracket 102 includes a U-shaped frame, with a reinforcing tube 1021 connecting the two long arm segments of the U-shaped frame. The reinforcing tube 1021 provides lateral reinforcement, making the entire tent bed more stable.

[0035] In some embodiments, the strip holes 117 of the two connecting blocks 110 located along the length of the bottom frame 100 converge downwards. The strip holes 117 have a projected component in the upward direction. With this arrangement, when in the unfolded state, the hinge pin 111 slides to the bottom of the strip hole 117, achieving a stable position. When the tent bed is in the open state, the flatness is high. At the same time, the strip holes can apply a large reaction torque to the foot of the movable plate. When folded, the hinge pin 111 tilts upwards, and its position can be located at the top of the strip hole 117, facilitating folding. Furthermore, the upper end of the upper side of the strip hole 117 is provided with a lateral recess 1171 for accommodating the hinge pin 111. With this arrangement, when in the folded state, the hinge pin 111 is located in the recess at a higher position. After folding, the positions of the first rod 200 and the movable plate 300 can be kept stable, preventing play or slippage.

[0036] Using the above scheme, the base frame 100 provides good rigid support for the entire tent bed bottom while fixing the position of the connecting block 110. The slotted hole 117 on the connecting block 110 allows for easy adjustment of the hinge pin 111, which can slide along the long axis of the slotted hole 117. The first rod 200 at the end of the base frame 100 along its length can swing around the hinge pin 111, facilitating storage and supporting the tent fabric 400. In the supported state, the tent fabric 400 can bulge out significantly, providing a larger internal space for the folding tent bed. Each base frame 100 has an end movable plate 300 on its wide side, providing part of the tent bed bottom and enabling the tent bed to be assembled. The bottom of the movable plate 300 can also swing around the hinge pin 111 for easy storage. When the foot of the movable plate 300 rotates to its limit position, the foot of the movable plate 300 contacts the groove wall of the first mounting groove 113 to achieve a limit. By setting the upward-extending strip hole 117, the height difference of the hinge position of the movable plate 300 can be small when it is unfolded, and it is close to parallel with the bottom frame 100. When it is folded, the hinge pin 111 can be located at a higher position in the strip hole 117, so that the movable plate 300 is offset at a higher position on the bottom frame 100. After folding, it can be stored on the bottom frame 100 of the tent bed. At the same time, when folding, it can reduce the impact of the thickness of the bottom frame 100 and the movable plate 300, and ensure a relatively good flatness between the bottom frame 100 and the movable plate 300 when unfolded. The tent fabric 400 can provide shelter, and at the same time, the tent fabric 400 can also provide a flexible connection between various moving parts. The four sides of the tent fabric 400 are evenly connected to the bottom frame 100 or the movable panel 300 to form an interior space for living.

[0037] This invention provides strong support at the bottom. Furthermore, during the entire tent bed setup process, no additional tent poles, ropes, nails, or other accessories are required for binding. The setup can be completed simply by unfolding the first pole 200 and the movable board 300. When folding and storing, simply fold the first pole 200 and the movable board 300 together. The operation is simple and quick.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations of this utility model fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
