Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, specifically a quick-release connector for a tent frame. Background Technology
[0002] A tent is a shelter erected on the ground to protect against wind and rain, block out sunlight, and provide temporary accommodation. It is mostly made of canvas and can be disassembled and moved at any time, along with its supporting structure. Tents are carried in parts and assembled on-site.
[0003] Currently, to facilitate tent storage, connectors are installed between the connecting poles for easy folding. However, because these connectors lack positioning and limiting mechanisms, the connecting poles may become loose and difficult to open or close during storage, and they are also inconvenient to disassemble and assemble. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a quick-release connector for tent frames, which solves the problems of loosening and opening / closing of connecting rods during storage due to the lack of positioning and limiting of the connector, as well as the inconvenience of disassembly and assembly.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a quick-release connection accessory for a tent frame, comprising multiple connecting rods, with connecting members provided between the multiple connecting rods, and a positioning groove provided in the inner cavity of the connecting rod.
[0006] The connector includes a first rotation angle and a second rotation angle. The surface of the second rotation angle is symmetrically provided with positioning holes. The bottom of the first rotation angle and the second rotation angle are integrally extended with only the connecting end. The surface of the first rotation angle is provided with a first tensioning component, and the surface of the connecting end is provided with a second tensioning component. The first rotation angle and the second rotation angle are rotatably connected by stainless steel rivets.
[0007] The first tensioning assembly and the second tensioning assembly both include screws and steel balls, and the steel balls are slidably sleeved in the inner cavities of the second tensioning assembly and the first rotation angle, respectively. The surface of the steel balls protrudes from the surfaces of the second tensioning assembly and the first rotation angle, and the screws are threadedly sleeved on the surfaces of the first rotation angle and the second tensioning assembly, respectively. A spring is provided between the steel balls and the screws.
[0008] Preferably, the springs are located in the cavities of the second tensioning assembly and the first rotation angle, respectively.
[0009] Preferably, the connecting end is sleeved on the connecting rod.
[0010] Preferably, the steel balls are respectively inserted into the positioning holes and positioning slots.
[0011] Preferably, the tips of the first rotation angle and the second rotation angle are in contact with each other.
[0012] Preferably, one end of each of the plurality of connecting rods is rotatably connected to a rotating member.
[0013] This utility model provides a quick-release connection accessory for a tent frame. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0014] 1. The quick-release connector of this tent frame allows the first and second rotation angles to rotate relative to each other when the connecting rod is pulled, thereby achieving the purpose of unfolding and closing. The first tensioning component is inserted into the two positioning holes respectively to achieve positioning when unfolding and closing, thus preventing the connecting rod from loosening and opening during storage.
[0015] 2. The quick-release connection accessory for the tent frame allows for easy disassembly and assembly by directly pulling the first and second rotation angles. At this time, the steel ball in the second tensioning component is subjected to tension and retracts into the inner cavity of the connection end along with the spring, causing the steel ball to leave the positioning groove set in the inner cavity of the connecting rod, thereby achieving the purpose of disassembly and assembly.

[0022] 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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution: a quick-release connection accessory for a tent frame, including multiple connecting rods 1, with a connector 3 between the multiple connecting rods 1, and a positioning groove is provided in the inner cavity of the connecting rod 1. One end of the multiple connecting rods 1 is rotatably connected to a rotating member 2, which can be used to fold the multiple connecting rods 1 together on both sides.
[0024] Please see Figure 3-4 The connector 3 includes a first rotation angle 31 and a second rotation angle 32. The surface of the second rotation angle 32 is symmetrically provided with positioning holes 34, two in total: the uppermost is a 0° positioning hole 34, and the lower one is a 90° positioning hole 34. The bottom of both the first and second rotation angles 31 and 32 extends integrally, with only the connecting end 33 extending outwards. A first tensioning component 36 is provided on the surface of the first rotation angle 31, and a second tensioning component 37 is provided on the surface of the connecting end 33. The first and second rotation angles 31 and 32 are rotatably connected by stainless steel rivets 35. The connecting end 33 is sleeved on the connecting rod 1. The top ends of the first and second rotation angles 31 and 32 are in contact with each other. During mutual rotation, the top ends and sides of the first and second rotation angles 31 and 32 will abut against each other, thus providing restraint.
[0025] Please see Figure 5 Both the first tensioning assembly 36 and the second tensioning assembly 37 include a screw 301 and a steel ball 303. The steel ball 303 is slidably sleeved in the inner cavity of the second tensioning assembly 37 and the first rotation angle 31, respectively. The surface of the steel ball 303 protrudes from the surfaces of the second tensioning assembly 37 and the first rotation angle 31. The screw 301 is threaded onto the surfaces of the first rotation angle 31 and the second tensioning assembly 37, respectively. A spring 302 is provided between the steel ball 303 and the screw 301. The spring 302 is located in the inner cavity of the second tensioning assembly 37 and the first rotation angle 31, respectively. The steel ball 303 is interlocked with the positioning hole 34 and the positioning groove, respectively. In addition, the steel ball 303 in the first tensioning assembly 36 will be squeezed during the rotation of the first rotation angle 31 and the second rotation angle 32, and then enter the two positioning holes 34 one by one to achieve the limiting function. The steel ball 303 in the second tensioning assembly 37 will correspond to the positioning groove provided in the inner cavity of the connecting rod 1.
[0026] In use, first connect one end of multiple connecting rods 1 to the rotating part 2, then connect them to the horizontal connecting rods 1 through the connecting part 3, and then install the tent on the connecting rods 1.
[0027] When the tent needs to be packed away, the first tensioning assembly 36 will engage with the lowest positioning hole 34 of the second rotation angle 32. The tops of the first rotation angle 31 and the second rotation angle 32 will also abut against each other. Then, multiple connecting rods 1 are directly packed away. The first rotation angle 31 and the second rotation angle 32 are rotated via stainless steel rivets 35. The connection between the connecting rod 1 and the connecting end 33 will cause the first rotation angle 31 and the second rotation angle 32 to rotate, simultaneously squeezing the steel ball 303 in the first tensioning assembly 36. This causes the steel ball 303 and the spring 302 to retract within the first rotation angle 31, allowing the steel ball 303 to leave the lowest positioning hole 34. Then, the first rotation angle 31 and the second rotation angle 32 rotate to 0°, and the tops of the first rotation angle 31 and the second rotation angle 32 abut against each other. At this point, the steel ball 303 in the first tensioning assembly 36 enters the highest positioning hole 34, achieving positioning.
[0028] When the tent is unfolded, the first tensioning component 36 will engage with the uppermost positioning hole 34. Then, the connecting rod 1 is pulled, causing the connecting rod 1 to rotate the first rotation angle 31 and the second rotation angle 32 in opposite directions, squeezing the first tensioning component 36 and causing the steel ball 303 to leave the uppermost positioning hole 34. Then, the tops of the first rotation angle 31 and the second rotation angle 32 will no longer be in contact with each other. At this time, the steel ball 303 in the first tensioning component 36 will engage with the lowermost positioning hole 34 for positioning, causing the first rotation angle 31 and the second rotation angle 32 to rotate to 90°, while the sides are in contact with each other.
[0029] During disassembly and assembly, the first rotation angle 31 and the second rotation angle 32 are pulled directly. At this time, the steel ball 303 in the second tensioning assembly 37 is pulled and will retract into the inner cavity of the connecting end 33 along with the spring 302, so that the steel ball 303 leaves the positioning groove set in the inner cavity of the connecting rod 1, thereby achieving the purpose of disassembly and assembly.
[0030] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
