Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor equipment, and in particular to a telescopic support pole and tent frame. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial piece of equipment for outdoor activities, a tent's core components are its frame and tent fabric. The tent frame is further subdivided into the canopy frame and support structures, with the canopy frame serving as the main structure, surrounded by several support structures for stability. To improve portability, current canopy frame designs tend towards foldable forms, such as scissor frames, aiming to simplify storage and transportation. Support structures generally employ a telescopic design, similar to the principle of a folding umbrella handle. This involves the nesting of upper and lower pole sections, supplemented by spring locking mechanisms and a limited number of positioning holes (usually 1 to 5) to achieve length adjustment and fixation.

[0003] However, while this telescopic design is simple, it has inherent limitations. For example, the relatively simple structure results in insufficient strength, and the weight of the tent itself puts significant pressure on the spring locking mechanism, making it prone to wear or failure. Furthermore, the operation is relatively strenuous, hindering the quick deployment and folding of the tent. In addition, the limited number of positioning holes restricts adjustment flexibility, limiting users' ability to adapt to different terrains and weather conditions, thus the overall user experience needs improvement.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be particularly noted that the following embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Similarly, the following embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this solution provides a telescopic support pole and tent frame.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The support rod 1 includes a first section 11 and a second section 12. One end of the second section 12 is retractably inserted into the interior of the first section 11. To balance support strength and lightweight design, both the first section 11 and the second section 12 are hollow tubular components made of metal, including but not limited to aluminum alloy tubing, steel alloy tubing, and stainless steel tubing. Preferably, a cap 6, which is made of plastic, is fixed to the upper end of the second section 12. Preferably, a base 122 is also fixed to the lower end of the second section 12.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 6 It also includes a connector 2, a button 3, and a resilient reset component. Two connecting plates 31 are symmetrically arranged at one end of the button 3, and a pin 4 is fixed between the two connecting plates 31. The two connecting plates 31 are movably inserted into the interior of the connector 2. The connector 2 has a through hole 22 for inserting the first section rod 11. The first section rod 11 is fixedly inserted into the interior of the connector 2, and the two connecting plates 31 are located on the left and right sides of the first section rod 11, respectively. The button 3 and the pin 4 are located on the front and rear sides of the first section rod 11, respectively. The first section 11 has a groove 111 for the pin 4 to pass through. The second section 12 has multiple engaging slots 121 arranged along its length. An elastic reset element is used to move the button 3 outwards from the connector 2. Preferably, the elastic reset element is a compression spring 5. The button 3 extends towards the connector 2 and has a mounting base 33. One end of the compression spring 5 is fitted onto the mounting base 33, and the other end abuts against the outer side of the first section 11, causing the pin 4 to engage with one of the engaging slots 121 within the groove 111. Figure 5 As shown, this locks the first section 11 and the second section 12 together.

[0032] Please see Figure 3 As a preferred option, the pin 4 is a countersunk screw, and the two connecting plates 31 are respectively provided with mounting holes 32. The countersunk screw is threaded into the mounting holes 32 for easy assembly.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 Elastic limiting pieces 21 are fixedly embedded on the front, rear, and / or left and right sides of the connector 2. One end of the elastic limiting piece 21 is fixedly connected to the side of the connector 2, and the other end moves inside and outside the connector 2. At least two limiting holes 112 are correspondingly provided on the outer side of the first section rod 11. The free ends of the two elastic limiting pieces 21 extend toward the first section rod 11 and are provided with limiting protrusions 211. The limiting protrusions 211 are engaged with the limiting holes 112. Specifically, the elastic limiting pieces 21 and the connector 2 are integrally formed.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The locking groove 121 is sloping with its opening facing upwards. The number of locking grooves 121 and the spacing between adjacent locking grooves 121 determine the adjustment range and accuracy of the support rod 1. The number of locking grooves 121 and the spacing between adjacent locking grooves 121 can be adjusted according to actual needs. The sloping locking groove 121 allows the pin 4 to slide smoothly into the locking groove 121 along the slope, reducing resistance and making operation easier and less strenuous; at the same time, when the pin 4 reaches the bottom of the locking groove 121, due to the guidance of the slope, the pin 4 can naturally lock in the locking groove, ensuring the stability of the connection.

[0035] Please see Figure 7 A tent frame includes a scissor-type canopy frame 200, which is provided with several support rods 1 as described above. Specifically, there are four support rods 1. The scissor-type canopy frame 200 is a commonly used folding canopy frame in existing tents and belongs to the prior art; its specific structure will not be described in detail here. The scissor-type canopy frame 200 includes, but is not limited to, having an overall quadrangular pyramid shape, with a support rod 1 at each of the four base corners. It should be noted that the number of support rods 1 is not limited to four; its specific number is related to the specific structure of the scissor-type canopy frame 200, and will not be further restricted here.

[0036] Working principle: When it is necessary to adjust the length of the first rod 11 and the second rod 12, press the button 3. The button 3 drives the connecting plate 31 to move into the connector 2, and the pin 4 separates from the locking groove 121, thereby unlocking the first rod 11 and the second rod 12.

[0037] When the first rod 11 and the second rod 12 are adjusted to the appropriate length, release the button 3. The compression spring 5 drives the pin 4 to reset. The pin 4 engages with the corresponding locking groove 121, thereby locking the first rod 11 and the second rod 12.

[0038] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
