[0002] Tent setup is an essential part of outdoor activities such as camping, wilderness exploration, and various temporary outdoor work scenarios. The stability of the tent plays a decisive role in the user's safety and experience, therefore, square tube poles and locking mechanisms are required.
[0003] Traditional tents are typically secured using a combination of tent pegs and guy lines. Tent pegs need to be driven firmly into the ground, but in hard surfaces such as rocky terrain, frozen ground, or areas with dense vegetation, they cannot be driven deep enough, resulting in insufficient grip and making it difficult to provide reliable anchoring for the tent. Therefore, square tube pole locking mechanisms have been developed. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a square tube post locking component, which aims to improve the problem of difficulty in providing reliable anchoring for tents in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a square tube column base lock, including a lock body, an installation shell installed on the outer wall of the lock body, a driving component provided on the top of the installation shell, and a fixing component and a transmission component arranged sequentially from left to right inside the installation shell;
[0006] The fixing component includes a locking block, the outer wall of which is slidably connected to the lock body and the mounting shell, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the locking block, a spring is fixedly connected to one side of the locking block, and a limiting component is installed on the outer wall of the locking block.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0008] The drive assembly includes a rotating plate rotatably connected to the top of the mounting housing, and a pressing plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0010] The transmission assembly includes a rotating shaft, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting housing. A roller is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and a rope is sleeved on the outer wall of the roller.

[0012] The limiting component includes two sliding grooves and two sliders. The sliding grooves are formed on the inner wall of the lock body and the mounting shell, and the sliders are mounted on the outer wall of the locking block.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] A stop is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting housing away from the lock body.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0016] A partition is fixedly connected inside the mounting housing, and the end of the spring away from the limiting plate is mounted on the partition.
[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0018] One end of the rope is installed on the outer wall of the pressing plate, and the other end of the rope is installed on the limiting plate away from the locking block.
[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0020] The outer wall of the slider is slidably connected inside the groove.
[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. In this utility model, when the pressing plate is pressed, the rotating plate rotates rapidly, providing the initial power for the operation of the entire lock.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] Reference Figures 1-3 The present invention provides an embodiment of a square tube column base lock, comprising a lock body 1, an mounting shell 2 installed on the outer wall of the lock body 1, the mounting shell 2 serving to protect and accommodate the internal components, a drive component provided on the top of the mounting shell 2, the drive component providing power for the operation of the entire lock, a fixing component and a transmission component arranged sequentially from left to right inside the mounting shell 2, the fixing component mainly serving to realize the connection and locking function with the square tube column base, while the transmission component serves to transmit power and movement between the drive component and the fixing component, enabling the components to work together;
[0031] Reference Figure 3 The fixing component includes a locking block 6, whose outer wall is slidably connected to the inside of the locking body 1 and the mounting shell 2. The locking block 6 can slide within the space defined by the locking body 1 and the mounting shell 2 to achieve engagement or disengagement with the square tube column foot. A limiting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the locking block 6, which can limit the sliding stroke of the locking block 6. A spring 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate 7 and the locking block 6. The spring 8 can provide a reset force for the locking block 6, so that the locking block 6 can return to the initial position after the external force is removed or the external force is no longer applied. A limiting component is installed on the outer wall of the locking block 6, which can ensure that the locking block 6 maintains a stable direction and trajectory during the sliding process and prevent it from deviating or shaking.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The drive assembly includes a rotating plate 4, which is rotatably connected to the top of the mounting housing 2. The rotating plate 4 can rotate around its connection point with the mounting housing 2. A pressing plate 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall. Pressing the pressing plate 5 can drive the rotating plate 4 to rotate, thereby providing power input for the subsequent transmission and fixing components. When the pressing plate 5 is pressed, the rotating plate 4 begins to rotate, converting the externally applied force into a power form that the internal components can utilize, thereby initiating the locking or unlocking operation of the entire lock.
[0033] Reference Figure 3 The transmission component includes a rotating shaft 10, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting housing 2. The rotating shaft 10 can rotate flexibly under the support of the inner wall of the mounting housing 2. A roller 11 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 10. The roller 11 rotates with the rotating shaft 10. A rope 9 is sleeved on the outer wall of the roller 11. When the rotating plate 4 rotates and drives the rope 9 to move, the rope 9 will slide or wrap on the roller 11, thereby transmitting the power at the rotating plate 4 to the fixed component, realizing the transmission and conversion of force, so that the locking block 6 can perform corresponding sliding actions under the traction of the rope 9, so as to complete the locking or unlocking process of the locking component and the square tube column foot column.
[0034] Reference Figure 3 The limiting component includes two sliding grooves 12 and two sliders 13. The sliding grooves 12 are formed on the inner walls of the lock body 1 and the mounting shell 2. The sliding grooves 12 provide a sliding track for the sliders 13. The sliders 13 are installed on the outer wall of the locking block 6. The block 13 slides in the sliding grooves 12, so that the locking block 6 can only move in a specific direction during the sliding process. This effectively prevents the locking block 6 from shaking or shifting, ensures the stability and reliability of the connection between the locking block 6 and the square tube column foot, ensures that the locking function of the lock can be properly performed, and improves the overall safety and practicality of the lock.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A stop block 3 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting shell 2 away from the lock body 1. The stop block 3 can play a certain role in blocking collisions or interference, protecting the internal components from damage, extending the service life of the lock, and maintaining the normal working condition of the lock.
[0036] Reference Figure 3 The mounting housing 2 is fixedly connected to a partition 14, which divides the interior of the mounting housing 2 into different spatial areas, facilitating the layout and installation of various components. The end of the spring 8 away from the limiting plate 7 is mounted on the partition 14. The partition 14 provides a stable mounting base for the spring 8, enabling the spring 8 to stably exert its elastic force during the movement of the locking block 6, ensuring that the reset action of the locking block 6 is accurate and reliable, which helps to improve the repeatability and stability of the lock's operation, and ensures that the performance of the lock will not fluctuate significantly during multiple uses.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 One end of the rope 9 is installed on the outer wall of the pressing plate 5. When the pressing plate 5 rotates, it can directly pull the rope 9. The rope 9 is also installed on the end of the limiting plate 7 away from the locking block 6. In this way, the rotation of the pressing plate 5 can be effectively transmitted to the limiting plate 7 through the rope 9, thereby driving the locking block 6 to slide. This realizes the power transmission path from the driving component to the fixed component, making the entire operation of the lock smoother and more efficient, and improving the ease of operation and response speed of the lock.
[0038] Reference Figure 3 The outer wall of the slider 13 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove 12. The sliding connection ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the movement of the slider 13 within the slide groove 12. This allows the locking block 6 to slide stably along a predetermined straight trajectory when pulled by the rope 9 or subjected to the restoring force of the spring 8, without jamming or deviating from the track. This ensures that the connection and disengagement between the lock and the square tube column foot can be carried out accurately and reliably, improving the working performance and reliability of the lock and reducing the risk of lock failure or malfunction caused by the unstable movement of the locking block 6.
[0039] Working principle: When the tent legs need to be secured using the leg locking mechanism, the tent legs are placed in the middle of the locking mechanism body 1, and the pressing plate 5 is pressed. The pressing plate 5 rotates, causing the rotating plate 4 to rotate, which in turn stretches the rope 9. When the rope 9 is stretched, it causes the limiting plate 7 to slide, which in turn causes the locking block 6 to slide. At the same time, the spring 8 is compressed, causing the spring 8 to generate potential energy. Then, the locking mechanism body 1 is adjusted to the appropriate position, and the pressing plate 5 is released. When the pressing plate 5 is released, the spring 8 releases its stored potential energy under the action of no external force, thereby pushing the limiting plate 7 to slide, which in turn causes the locking block 6 to slide, thus securing the tent.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
