Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of skylight pole technology, and in particular to a combined skylight pole. Background Technology

[0002] A tarp is an outdoor piece of equipment primarily used for shelter from wind, rain, and sun. It typically consists of a single piece of waterproof fabric with multiple anchor points along the edges, secured by guy lines and ground stakes. It can be configured into various shapes to suit different outdoor environments and needs. Tarps are usually made of polyester or Oxford cloth, and some have a sun-protective coating, such as black glue or silver coating, to enhance sun protection. The second paragraph discusses how existing coking production trays implement anti-clogging operations, what structures are used to achieve this function, and what are the disadvantages or deficiencies of this anti-clogging operation during use. Tarp poles are the key structural element supporting the tarp. They connect to the anchor points on the tarp and are fixed to the ground, allowing the tarp to extend stably and form a sheltered space, providing a comfortable environment for people to enjoy shade and rain protection during outdoor activities.

[0003] A search revealed an existing patent (publication number: CN220059125U) that discloses a "canopy pole, including a top telescopic adjustment rod, with multiple middle connecting rods installed at the lower end of the top telescopic adjustment rod. In use, this invention selects an appropriate number of middle connecting rods according to the required length, and connects these connecting rods end-to-end through the engagement of threaded posts and internal connecting threads. Then, the bottom support rod is installed together with the lowest middle connecting rod. Finally, the top telescopic adjustment rod is screwed together with the highest middle connecting rod through internal connecting threads. Furthermore, the outward extension distance of the outer rod is adjusted according to the desired height. Compared to existing canopy poles, this invention allows for height adjustments for different tents, thus having a wider range of applications. The threaded connection provides strong stability, and the nails can be adjusted according to ground conditions, facilitating use on different tents and ground surfaces."

[0004] In the process of developing this application, the inventors discovered the following problems with the prior art: Although the aforementioned comparative patent provides a canopy pole by setting components such as a top telescopic adjustment rod, a middle connecting rod, a threaded column, and a bottom support rod, the connecting rods at both ends are only connected by the engagement of the threaded column and the internal connecting thread, without the use of fasteners, and the connection strength at the joint needs to be improved. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a combined canopy pole to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a modular canopy pole. The first and second connecting rods of the canopy pole are rotatably connected by two rotating shafts and connecting rods. The two protrusions and two grooves fixedly set at the near ends of the two connecting rods provide a good interlocking action, thereby achieving rapid deployment and a stable connection. The canopy pole can be folded and shortened when not in use, making it easy to store and transport, and effectively improving the convenience and safety of use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a combined canopy pole, comprising a first pole section, a second pole section, and a connecting mechanism. The first pole section includes a first connecting rod, and the second pole section includes a second connecting rod. The connecting mechanism includes two rotating shafts. A first opening is formed at the middle of the lower end of the first connecting rod, and a second opening is formed at the middle of the upper end of the second connecting rod. A first sliding groove is formed in the middle of the two side walls of the first opening, and a second sliding groove is formed in the middle of the two side walls of the second opening. The two ends of the upper rotating shaft are slidably disposed inside the two first sliding grooves, and the two ends of the lower rotating shaft are slidably disposed inside the two second sliding grooves.

[0007] Furthermore, a first thread is fixedly provided at the lower position of the first connecting rod body, and protrusions are fixedly provided at the lower end of the first connecting rod near both sides.

[0008] Furthermore, a second thread is fixedly provided on the upper part of the second connecting rod body, and grooves are provided on both sides of the upper end of the second connecting rod.

[0009] Furthermore, a first fastener is threaded through the lower part of the first connecting rod, and a second fastener is threaded through the lower part of the second connecting rod.

[0010] Furthermore, an annular block is fixedly provided at the lower end of the first fastener, and an annular groove is provided at the upper end of the second fastener.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer wall of the annular block and the inner wall of the annular groove are both fixedly provided with matching spiral patterns.

[0012] Furthermore, a connecting rod is axially symmetrically rotatably connected between the two rotating axes.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model proposes a combined skylight pole. When the skylight pole is needed, the user only needs to rotate the first connecting rod to be directly above the second connecting rod, and then bring the two together until the two protrusions are well engaged in the two grooves, achieving rapid deployment. The operation is simple and quick, improving the convenience of use. Then, through the threaded connection between the first fastener and the first connecting rod, the threaded connection between the second fastener and the second connecting rod, and the threaded connection between the annular block of the first fastener and the annular groove of the second fastener, a stable connection between the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod is ensured, enhancing the stability and safety of the skylight pole during use. The annular block is fully engaged in the annular groove, providing strong fastening force and ensuring the firmness of the connection.

[0015] 2. This utility model proposes a combined canopy pole. The two ends of the two rotating shafts in the connecting mechanism of the canopy pole are respectively slidably disposed inside two first sliding grooves and two second sliding grooves, thereby allowing the two rotating shafts to slide freely in the four sliding grooves. This provides flexible support for the rotation between the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod, ensuring smooth rotational connection. Through the rotational connection design of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod, the first connecting rod can be rotated to a position parallel to the second connecting rod when not in use, thereby effectively reducing the overall length of the canopy pole and facilitating storage and transportation for users.

A first groove 105 is provided in the middle of both sides of the first opening 102, and a second groove 205 is provided in the middle of both sides of the second opening 202. The two ends of the upper rotating shaft 305 are respectively slidably disposed inside the two first grooves 105, and the two ends of the lower rotating shaft 305 are respectively slidably disposed inside the two second grooves 205.

[0024] Specifically, the first connecting rod 101 in the first rod part 1 provides a good opening position for the two first sliding grooves 105 in the first rod part 1, the second connecting rod 201 in the second rod part 2 provides a good opening position for the two second sliding grooves 205 in the second rod part 2, and the two first sliding grooves 105 in the first rod part 1 and the two second sliding grooves 205 in the second rod part 2 provide a good installation position for the two rotating shafts 305 in the connecting mechanism 3.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 The first connecting rod 101 has a first thread 103 fixedly installed at the lower part of its body, and protrusions 104 fixedly installed at both sides of the lower end of the first connecting rod 101. The second connecting rod 201 has a second thread 203 fixedly installed at the upper part of its body, and grooves 204 are opened at both sides of the upper end of the second connecting rod 201. The first fastener 301 is threaded through and sleeved at the lower part of the first connecting rod 101, and the second fastener 303 is threaded through and sleeved at the lower part of the second connecting rod 201. An annular block 302 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the first fastener 301, and an annular groove 304 is opened at the upper end of the second fastener 303. The outer wall of the annular block 302 and the inner wall of the annular groove 304 are both fixedly provided with matching spiral patterns.

Then rotate the first fastener 301 and the second fastener 303 closer together until the annular block 302 is fully threaded into the annular groove 304. At this time, the first connecting rod 101 and the second connecting rod 201 are well and securely connected.

[0028] Working principle: The first connecting rod 101 and the second connecting rod 201 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 306 through two rotating shafts 305 respectively. When the canopy pole is not needed, the first connecting rod 101 can be rotated to a position parallel to the second connecting rod 201, reducing the overall length of the canopy pole and making it easier for users to store and transport.

[0029] Secondly, when the canopy pole needs to be deployed, first rotate the first connecting rod 101 directly above the second connecting rod 201, then bring the first connecting rod 101 and the second connecting rod 201 closer together until the two protrusions 104 are properly engaged in the two grooves 204. During this process, the two ends of the two rotating shafts 305 slide well in the two first sliding grooves 105 and the two second sliding grooves 205 respectively. Then, rotate the first fastener 301 and the second fastener 303 closer together until the annular block 302 is fully threaded into the annular groove 304. At this time, the first connecting rod 101 and the second connecting rod 201 are well and securely connected.

[0030] 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.
