Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor products technology, specifically to an outdoor tent with windproof and heat-insulating functions. Background Technology
[0002] Camping is a recreational activity and a short-term outdoor lifestyle. Campers typically bring a tent, leave the city, and set up camp in the wild for one or more nights. Camping can be categorized into regular camping, car camping, and RV camping, and it is often combined with other activities such as hiking, fishing, or swimming. A tent is a shelter erected on the ground to protect against wind, rain, and sunlight, and to provide temporary accommodation. It is usually made of canvas and, along with its supporting structure, can be easily disassembled and moved. Tents are carried in parts and assembled on-site, so various components and tools are required. Understanding the names and uses of each component and being familiar with the tent's structure is essential for quickly and easily setting up a tent.
[0003] When camping, people often set up tents for convenient rest. Most existing tents are frame-style, making them inconvenient to assemble, disassemble, and carry. Furthermore, most tents lack designated sunrooms, hindering sunbathing in good weather. In relatively cold regions, the windproof and insulating properties of a tent become especially important. Existing tent fabrics have limited windproof performance. While they offer some wind protection, strong winds or prolonged exposure to strong winds can allow drafts to pass through. This is particularly true for some inexpensive tents, whose fabrics have poor windproofing and cannot effectively block wind. The insulation performance of many tents relies on the thickness and material of the fabric, but some ordinary tents use thinner fabrics with limited insulation. In cold weather, heat easily dissipates from the inside of the tent, making it difficult to maintain a warm environment. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned shortcomings by providing an outdoor tent with windproof and heat-insulating functions.
[0005] This utility model includes air columns, an upper tarpaulin a and a bottom tarpaulin b bonded and fixed between the air columns.
[0006] The air column includes a bottom hexagonal air column, six supporting air columns b connected to it, and five central connecting air columns c located in the middle of the six supporting air columns b. The six supporting air columns b divide the upper tarpaulin a above the bottom hexagonal air column into six tarpaulin surfaces with the same area. One of the tarpaulin surfaces is provided with a zipper section from top to bottom, and the five central connecting air columns c are located in the middle of the other five tarpaulin surfaces. The bottom hexagonal air column is provided with an air valve interface for easy inflation and deflation.
[0007] The upper tarpaulin a comprises, from the outside in, the following:
[0008] The windproof and rainproof outer layer is made of high-strength polyester fiber Oxford cloth, and the outer surface of the high-strength polyester fiber Oxford cloth is coated with a polyurethane waterproof coating.
[0009] The middle layer is filled with thermal insulation and is made of aerogel felt or hollow cotton; the inner layer is made of pure cotton fabric and is gentle on the skin.
[0010] The thermal insulation filling middle layer is fixed between the windproof and rainproof outer layer and the skin-friendly fabric inner layer by quilting;
[0011] The inner layer of the skin-friendly fabric is also bonded with a reflective heat insulation layer on the side near the middle layer of the thermal filling. The reflective heat insulation layer is an aluminum foil heat insulation layer.
[0012] The bottom tarpaulin b below the bottom hexagonal air column has a multi-layer structure, including a PVC-coated Oxford cloth in contact with the ground, a TPU composite cloth inside the tarpaulin, and an air cushion layer between the two. The air cushion layer has a hexagonal prism structure, and the interior of the air cushion layer has multiple partition cloths that divide the air cushion layer into multiple interconnected air cushion blocks. The bottom hexagonal air column and the air cushion layer have interconnected air channels.
[0013] Preferably, the bottom hexagonal air column, the six supporting air columns b, and the five central connecting air columns c are connected in sequence.
[0014] Preferably, the six supporting air columns b are connected to the hexagonal corners of the bottom hexagonal air column.
[0015] Preferably, the bottom hexagon of the bottom tarpaulin b is connected to a fixing rope, and the end of the fixing rope is detachably connected to a fixing nail.
[0016] Preferably, two of the remaining five canopies have triangular light-transmitting openings at the top, with a transparent plastic film adhered to the light-transmitting openings. A matching blackout cloth is provided on the inner side of the transparent plastic film, with the lower part of the blackout cloth adhered to the canopy. The top and middle sides of the blackout cloth are connected to the inner side of the canopy through multiple male and female fasteners.
[0017] Preferably, the valve interface is a snap-fit interface.
[0018] Preferably, the quilting pattern is diamond quilting, and the quilting spacing is controlled at 80-120 mm.
[0019] Preferably, the thickness of the polyurethane waterproof coating is 0.8-1.6 mm.
[0020] Preferably, the pure cotton fabric is plain weave or twill weave.
[0021] Preferably, the high-strength polyester fiber Oxford cloth is 600D or 420D Oxford cloth.
[0022] The advantages of this utility model are: it does not require disassembly, is easy to carry, has a light zone, and is convenient for sunbathing in good weather.
[0023] High-strength polyester Oxford cloth boasts excellent abrasion resistance, tear resistance, and good weather resistance, enabling it to withstand friction, pulling, wind, and sun exposure in complex outdoor environments. Polyurethane waterproof coatings or PVC coatings fill the tiny pores between the fabric fibers, making the fabric surface smoother and reducing wind turbulence, significantly decreasing wind permeability and enhancing windproof capabilities. The coating also improves the fabric's resistance to rain and snow, preventing moisture from affecting its windproof performance.
[0024] Aerogel felt has an extremely low thermal conductivity, making it one of the best known insulation materials. It significantly reduces heat conduction, effectively maintaining the temperature inside the tent even in cold environments. Hollow fiber, with its hollow structure within the fibers, can store a large amount of air, which is a natural thermal insulator; thicker versions further enhance its warmth retention.
[0025] Cotton materials contain a large number of hydroxyl groups, which can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, thereby absorbing the sweat and moisture emitted by the human body. This prevents the tent from feeling damp and cold due to moisture accumulation, maintaining a relatively dry and comfortable environment and indirectly improving the warmth retention effect.
[0026] The aluminum foil insulation layer can reflect the heat radiated by the human body, reflecting most of the heat back into the tent, reducing heat loss to the outside environment. Especially in cold nights and other environments, it can significantly improve the warmth inside the tent. Attached Figure Description

[0036] As shown in the attached diagram, this utility model includes air columns, an upper tarpaulin a2 and a bottom tarpaulin b3 bonded and fixed between the air columns.
[0037] The air column includes a bottom hexagonal air column 11, six supporting air columns b12 connected to it, and five central connecting air columns c13 located in the middle of the six supporting air columns b12. The six supporting air columns b12 divide the upper tarpaulin a2 above the bottom hexagonal air column 11 into six tarpaulin surfaces 14 with the same area. One of the tarpaulin surfaces 14 is provided with a zipper part 15 from top to bottom. The five central connecting air columns c13 are located in the middle of the other five tarpaulin surfaces 14. The bottom hexagonal air column 11 is provided with an air valve interface 16 for easy inflation and deflation.
[0038] The upper tarpaulin a2 comprises, from the outside in, the following:
[0039] The windproof and rainproof outer layer 101 is made of high-strength polyester fiber Oxford cloth, and the outer surface of the high-strength polyester fiber Oxford cloth is coated with a polyurethane waterproof coating 110.
[0040] The insulating filling middle layer 102 is made of aerogel felt or hollow cotton; the skin-friendly inner fabric layer 104 is made of pure cotton fabric.
[0041] The thermal insulation filling intermediate layer 102 is fixed between the windproof and rainproof outer layer 101 and the skin-friendly fabric inner layer 104 by quilting;
[0042] The inner layer 104 of the skin-friendly fabric is also bonded with a reflective heat insulation layer 103 on the side near the middle layer 102 of the thermal insulation filling. The reflective heat insulation layer 103 is an aluminum foil heat insulation layer. The aluminum foil heat insulation layer can reflect the heat radiated by the human body and reflect most of the heat back into the tent, reducing the loss of heat to the outside environment. Especially in cold nights and other environments, it can significantly improve the warmth inside the tent.
[0043] The bottom tarpaulin b3 beneath the bottom hexagonal air column 11 has a multi-layered structure, including a PVC-coated Oxford cloth 21 in contact with the ground, a TPU composite cloth 22 inside the tarpaulin, and an air cushion layer 30 located between the two. The air cushion layer 30 has a hexagonal prism structure, and multiple partition cloths 31 inside the air cushion layer 30 divide the air cushion layer 30 into multiple interconnected air cushion blocks 32. The bottom hexagonal air column 11 and the air cushion layer 30 are connected by air channels. There are multiple air channels, which are made of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber. The air channels pass through the tarpaulin surface 14 and the TPU composite cloth 22 bonded to the bottom hexagonal air column 11, connecting the bottom hexagonal air column 11 and the air cushion layer 30.
[0044] In another technical solution, the bottom hexagonal air column 11, the six supporting air columns b12, and the five central connecting air columns c13 are connected in sequence.
[0045] In another technical solution, the six supporting air columns b12 are connected to the hexagonal corners of the bottom hexagonal air column 11.
[0046] In another technical solution, the hexagonal corners of the bottom tarpaulin b3 are respectively connected to fixing ropes 10, and the ends of the fixing ropes 10 are detachably connected to fixing nails.
[0047] In another technical solution, two of the remaining five canopies 14 have triangular light-transmitting notches 17 at their upper parts. A transparent plastic film 18 is adhered to the light-transmitting notch 17. A light-blocking cloth 19 is provided on the inner side of the transparent plastic film 18. The lower part of the light-blocking cloth 19 is adhered to the canopy. The top and middle sides of the light-blocking cloth 19 are connected to the inner side of the canopy through multiple male and female buckles 20.
[0048] In another technical solution, the valve interface 16 is a snap-fit interface. The snap-fit interface consists of two parts: a female snap-fit fixed to the tent (the hexagonal air column at the bottom), typically a plastic piece with a groove or protrusion; and a male snap-fit connected to the inflation or deflation hose, with corresponding protrusions or snap-fit structures that engage tightly with the female snap-fit. The male and female snap-fits are separate when not connected, and the snap-fit design facilitates quick insertion and removal. To inflate, align the male snap-fit on the inflation hose with the groove of the female snap-fit on the tent, press firmly, and insert until a "click" is heard, indicating that the snap-fit is securely in place, and inflation can begin. To deflate, press the unlock button on the snap-fit and then pull out the male snap-fit. This operation is convenient and quick, enabling rapid inflation and deflation. It is commonly used in inflatable tents that require frequent inflation and deflation, such as portable small inflatable tents, like simple inflatable tents for outdoor leisure picnics and camping, allowing users to quickly complete inflation and deflation operations.
[0049] In another technical solution, the quilting pattern is a diamond quilting pattern, and the quilting spacing is controlled at 80-120 mm.
[0050] In another technical solution, the thickness of the polyurethane waterproof coating 110 is 0.8-1.6 mm. This thickness ensures waterproof performance, significantly reduces wind permeability, and enhances wind resistance.
[0051] In another technical solution, the high-strength polyester fiber Oxford cloth is 600D or 420D Oxford cloth. High-strength polyester fiber Oxford cloth possesses excellent abrasion resistance, tear resistance, and good weather resistance, capable of withstanding friction, pulling, wind, and sun exposure in complex outdoor environments. Polyurethane waterproof coatings or PVC coatings can fill the tiny pores between fabric fibers, making the fabric surface smoother and reducing wind turbulence, significantly decreasing wind permeability and enhancing windproof capabilities. Simultaneously, the coating also improves the fabric's resistance to rain and snow, preventing moisture from affecting its windproof performance.
[0052] In another technical solution, the pure cotton fabric is a plain weave or twill weave. Cotton contains a large number of hydroxyl groups, which can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, thereby absorbing sweat and moisture emitted by the human body. This prevents the tent from feeling damp and cold due to moisture accumulation, maintaining a relatively dry and comfortable environment and indirectly improving the warmth retention effect.
[0053] The above-described embodiments are only intended to illustrate the technical solution and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to implement them. They should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Anything not described in detail is prior art.
