Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tent component technology, and more specifically, relates to a connecting component for tent support bones. Background Technology
[0002] A tent is a shelter erected on the ground to protect against wind, rain, and sun, and to provide temporary accommodation. Mostly made of canvas, it can be easily disassembled and moved, along with its supporting structure. Tents are carried in components and assembled on-site, requiring various parts and tools. Due to their ease of assembly and portability, tents are widely used in various field operations, camping training, temporary meeting places, sports and entertainment venues, military command posts, field hospitals, disaster relief, camping, leisure, and tourism. When setting up a tent, connecting components are often used to facilitate the assembly and secure connection of two parts. Currently, there are two types of pole connectors on the market: one with a fixed shape and the other a tent folding joint with a changeable shape. However, the tent joints on the market have two problems. First, when the tent is open, it is only fixed by a limiting protrusion. After repeated opening and folding, the joint is difficult to stably fix the two pole connectors in the open position. Second, the variable connectors with fixed structures require manual tightening to secure the connectors, which is laborious. Moreover, installing a tent requires fixing multiple connectors, and long-term external force fixation leads to low installation efficiency. Therefore, there is a need for a component that can improve the stability of the tent support frame connection and improve the connection efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a connecting component for tent support bones, which can meet the requirements of improving the connection stability of tent support bones while improving connection efficiency.
[0004] This utility model discloses a connecting component for a tent support frame, comprising a hook rope connector, a rotating connector, a fixing sleeve, and a return spring. The hook rope connector includes an integrally formed rotating part and a sliding part. The rotating part is rotatably connected to the head of the rotating connector by a screw. The fixing sleeve is fitted onto the sliding part and slides on the sliding part. The return spring is fitted onto the sliding part, with its two ends located at the tail end of the fixing sleeve and the tail end of the sliding part, respectively. The return spring is compressed or stretched as the fixing sleeve slides on the hook rope connector. The connecting component has two states: closed and open. During the relative rotation of the hook rope connector and the rotating connector, the sliding fixing sleeve compresses the return spring. When the axes of the rotating connector and the hook rope connector are aligned... When in a straight line, loosening the fixing sleeve stretches the return spring, and the head of the rotating connector is inserted into the fixing sleeve, thus the connecting assembly of this invention is in a closed state. Sliding the fixing sleeve compresses the return spring, and the head of the rotating connector disengages from the fixing sleeve. The rotating connector and the hook rope connector rotate relative to each other, thus the connecting assembly of this invention is in a loose state. A gap is provided between the fixing sleeve and the sliding part. After the fixing sleeve is squeezed by the rotating connector, it tilts at an angle, allowing the rotating connector to be inserted into the fixing sleeve by the squeezing force. This eliminates the need for manual sliding of the fixing sleeve to compress the return spring, improving installation efficiency and saving effort. The inner diameter of the fixing sleeve is smaller than the outer diameter of the return spring to prevent the return spring from rebounding and disengaging from the fixing sleeve, thus preventing damage.
[0005] As a further improvement of this utility model, the hook and rope connector also includes a rope hook and a tail groove. The rope hook is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating part and can be connected to the tent rope to provide a fixing effect for the tent rope and improve the stability of the tent. The tail groove is fixedly connected to the tail end of the sliding part, and the return spring is fixedly connected in the tail groove.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, a limiting ring is provided at the tail end of the fixed sleeve, and one end of the return spring is located inside the tail end of the fixed sleeve and abuts against the limiting ring to ensure that the return spring will not detach from the fixed sleeve during compression and stretching.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the head of the rotating connector is provided with an external thread, and the head of the fixed sleeve is provided with an internal thread. When the connecting assembly is in a closed state, rotating the fixed sleeve causes the internal thread to connect with the external thread, thereby improving the connection stability.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, a protrusion is provided on the side of the tail of the rotating part. When the rotating part is inserted into the fixing sleeve, the top of the rotating part abuts against the protrusion, which increases the stability of the connecting component in the closed state.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the length of the fixed sleeve is less than the length of the sliding part, which reduces the force required when sliding the fixed sleeve and improves the installation efficiency.
[0010] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: A fixing member provides connection stability between the rotating connector and the hook rope connector; a gap exists between the fixing member and the sliding part; the fixing sleeve tilts when squeezed by the rotating connector, allowing the rotating connector to be inserted into the fixing sleeve by the squeezing force, eliminating the need for manual sliding of the fixing sleeve to compress the return spring, thus improving installation efficiency and saving effort; the rope hook can connect with the tent rope to provide a fixing effect, improving tent stability; a limiting ring is provided at the tail end of the fixing sleeve, and one end of the return spring is located inside the tail end of the fixing sleeve and abuts against the limiting ring, ensuring that the return spring will not detach from the fixing sleeve during compression and stretching; when the connecting assembly is in the closed state, rotating the fixing sleeve connects the internal and external threads, improving connection stability; a protrusion is provided on the side of the tail end of the rotating part, and when the rotating part is inserted into the fixing sleeve, the top of the rotating part abuts against the protrusion, increasing the stability of the connecting assembly in the closed state.

[0020] Specific Implementation Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-7This utility model relates to a connecting component for a tent support frame, including a hook rope connector 1, a rotating connector 2, a fixing sleeve 3, and a return spring 4. The hook rope connector 1 includes an integrally formed rotating part 11 and a sliding part 12. The rotating part 11 is rotatably connected to the head of the rotating connector 2 by screws. The fixing sleeve 3 is fitted onto the sliding part 12 and slides on the sliding part 12. The return spring 4 is fitted onto the sliding part 12, with its two ends located at the tail ends of the fixing sleeve 3 and the sliding part 12, respectively. The return spring 4 is compressed or stretched as the fixing sleeve 3 slides on the hook rope connector 1. The connecting component has two states: closed and open. During the relative rotation of the hook rope connector 1 and the rotating connector 2, manually sliding the fixing sleeve 3 compresses the return spring 4. When the axes of the rotating connector 2 and the hook rope connector 1 are aligned... When the line is straight, loosening the fixing sleeve 3 stretches the return spring 4, and the head of the rotating connector 2 is inserted into the fixing sleeve 3, thus the connecting assembly of this utility model is in a closed state; manually sliding the fixing sleeve 3 compresses the return spring 4, and the head of the rotating connector 2 disengages from the fixing sleeve 3, and the rotating connector 2 rotates relative to the hook rope connector 1, thus the connecting assembly of this utility model is in a loose state; a gap is provided between the fixing sleeve 3 and the sliding part 12, so that the fixing sleeve 3 can generate an inclined angle after being squeezed by the rotating connector 2, which makes it easy for the rotating connector 2 to be inserted into the fixing sleeve 3 by squeezing force alone, without the need for manual sliding of the fixing sleeve to compress the return spring 4 to complete the closure, improving installation efficiency and saving effort. The inner diameter of the fixing sleeve 3 is smaller than the outer diameter of the return spring 4 to prevent the return spring 4 from being disengaged from the fixing sleeve 3 when it rebounds and causing damage.
[0021] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the hook rope connector 1 also includes a rope hook 13 and a tail groove 14. The rope hook 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating part 11. The rope hook 13 can be connected to the tent rope to provide a fixing effect for the tent rope and improve the stability of the tent. The tail groove 14 is fixedly connected to the tail end of the sliding part 12, and the return spring 4 is fixedly connected to the tail groove 14.
[0022] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the fixed sleeve 3 has a limiting ring 31 at its tail end, and one end of the return spring 4 is located inside the tail end of the fixed sleeve 3 and abuts against the limiting ring 31 to ensure that the return spring 4 will not detach from the fixed sleeve 3 during compression and stretching.
[0023] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the length of the fixed sleeve 3 is less than the length of the sliding part 12, which reduces the force required when sliding the fixed sleeve and improves the installation efficiency.
[0024] In a further embodiment, such as Figures 5-6As shown, the rotating connector 2 has an external thread 21 at its head, and the fixed sleeve 3 has an internal thread 32 at its head. When the connecting assembly is in a closed state, rotating the fixed sleeve 3 causes the internal thread 32 to be threadedly connected to the external thread 21, thereby improving the connection stability.
[0025] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the rotating part 11 has a protrusion 111 on the side of its tail. When the rotating part 21 is inserted into the fixing sleeve 3, the top of the rotating part 21 abuts against the protrusion 111, which increases the stability of the connection component in the closed state.
