Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ecological architecture, and in particular to a retractable pavilion with a bird's nest-like structure. It emphasizes sustainability and the application of natural materials, and uses lightweight and tough bamboo to construct a flexible mesh structure, which is suitable for outdoor places such as parks, green spaces, and scenic spots. Background Technology

[0002] Current eco-friendly pavilion designs primarily focus on integrating natural elements, with common forms including fixed structures built from natural materials such as wood and bamboo. These pavilions are favored for their aesthetic appeal and eco-friendliness, but they generally suffer from limited functionality and adaptability. Traditional fixed pavilions are particularly difficult to adjust flexibly when site size or usage needs change. Furthermore, these designs are often permanent constructions, unable to be resized or relocated as needed, limiting the diversity of usage scenarios. Even though bamboo eco-friendly pavilions have gained attention due to their lightweight and environmentally friendly characteristics, most still employ fixed structures, making them difficult to adapt to dynamic spatial requirements and changing environmental conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a bird's nest-inspired retractable pavilion. By employing a nested structure of different sizes, the pavilion's size can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to changing site conditions, while also adhering to green and environmentally friendly principles. This design not only enhances the pavilion's functionality and adaptability but also meets the higher demands of modern society for multifunctional and sustainable outdoor spaces.

[0004] The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0005] A retractable pavilion with a bird's nest-like structure includes multiple interconnected modules. Each module includes a fixed unit and a movable unit. The fixed unit includes two bamboo pillars and multiple fixed-end bamboo beams, and the movable unit includes two bamboo pillars and multiple movable-end bamboo beams. The fixed-end bamboo beams are hollow inside, allowing the movable-end bamboo beams to move back and forth within them. The fixed unit and the movable unit share a common bamboo pillar, referred to as the shared bamboo pillar. The other two bamboo pillars are respectively designated as the fixed-end bamboo pillar and the movable-end bamboo pillar. The shared bamboo pillar has multiple through holes for the fixed-end bamboo beams to pass through. One end of the fixed-end bamboo beam is inserted into the fixed-end bamboo pillar for fixation, and the other end passes through the through hole of the shared bamboo pillar. One end of the movable-end bamboo beam is inserted into the movable-end bamboo pillar for fixation, and the other end is inserted into the fixed-end bamboo beam. Within the same module, the lengths of the bamboo beams in different layers are different, and can be set according to requirements.

[0006] When the module is fully retracted, the mobile bamboo beam is completely inserted into the fixed bamboo beam; when the module is unfolded, the mobile bamboo beam slides within it in the direction of being pulled out of the fixed bamboo beam; a limiting structure is provided between the fixed bamboo beam and the mobile bamboo beam to prevent the mobile bamboo beam from completely detaching from the fixed bamboo beam.

[0007] When adjacent modules are combined, the fixed unit of the first module is fixedly connected to the movable unit of the second module.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting structure between the fixed-end bamboo beam and the movable-end bamboo beam is as follows: a protrusion is provided at one end of the fixed-end bamboo beam near the interface between the two bamboo beams, and a corresponding protrusion is provided at one end of the movable-end bamboo beam located inside the fixed-end bamboo beam, together forming the limiting structure.

[0009] Furthermore, multiple through holes are evenly provided on the fixed-end bamboo beam and the movable-end bamboo beam respectively. When the module extends to the required position, the two bamboo beams are fixed by the aligned through holes and detachable connection to achieve the stability of the module.

[0010] Furthermore, the detachable connection employs a fixing pin made of bamboo.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] (1) The telescopic pavilion proposed in this utility model is easy to disassemble and move through nested telescopic and lightweight design, making it convenient for use in different occasions; the interlaced bamboo components provide good support and ensure stability under different climatic conditions; the internal space size can be adjusted according to different scenarios and needs to adapt to a variety of functions.

[0013] (2) This utility model uses renewable materials, which reduces environmental impact and is in line with the concept of sustainable development. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. The purpose and effects of the present invention will become clearer as a result. Further detailed description of the present invention will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a retractable pavilion with a bird's nest-like structure uses interwoven bamboo to form a mesh structure resembling a bird's nest, enhancing overall stability. This structure can naturally deform under stress, adapting to different environments and functional needs, ensuring the pavilion's safety and comfort. Furthermore, its unique bird's nest shape blends seamlessly with the natural environment, enhancing its visual appeal. The retractable pavilion consists of multiple modules, each an independent unit made of bamboo. Modules can be available in different sizes, such as small, medium, and large, facilitating selection and combination according to different site requirements. Each module is designed with independence in mind, allowing them to be flexibly extended or retracted without affecting the overall structure.

[0022] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, each module includes a fixed unit and a movable unit, which are connected by a sliding mechanism. The fixed unit includes two bamboo pillars 1 and multiple fixed-end bamboo beams 2. The movable unit includes two bamboo pillars 1 and multiple movable-end bamboo beams 3. The fixed-end bamboo beams 2 are hollow to accommodate the movable-end bamboo beams 3. The fixed unit and the movable unit share a common bamboo pillar 1, which is referred to as the common bamboo pillar. The other two bamboo pillars 1 are referred to as the fixed-end bamboo pillar and the movable-end bamboo pillar, respectively. The common bamboo pillar has multiple through holes for the fixed-end bamboo beams 2 to pass through. Blind holes are provided at corresponding positions on the fixed-end bamboo pillar and the movable-end bamboo pillar. One end of the fixed-end bamboo beam 2 is inserted into the fixed-end bamboo pillar, and the other end passes through the through hole of the common bamboo pillar. One end of the movable-end bamboo beam 3 is inserted into the movable-end bamboo pillar, and the other end is inserted into the fixed-end bamboo beam 2.

[0023] The fixed-end bamboo beam 2 and the movable-end bamboo beam 3 on the same layer have the same length. A protrusion is provided at the end of the fixed-end bamboo beam 2 near the interface between the two bamboo beams. A corresponding protrusion is provided at the end of the movable-end bamboo beam 3 located within the fixed-end bamboo beam 2. Together, they form a limiting structure to restrict the movement of the movable-end bamboo beam 3 along the direction it is being pulled away from the fixed-end bamboo beam 2. When the module is fully retracted, its length is at its shortest. At this time, the movable-end bamboo beam 3 is completely incorporated into the fixed-end bamboo beam 2, with one end of the fixed-end bamboo beam 2 inserted into the fixed-end bamboo post and the other end abutting against the movable-end bamboo post. When the module is unfolded, as the movable-end bamboo beam 3 slides within the fixed-end bamboo beam 2, the module length increases. When it reaches its maximum length, the limiting structure prevents the movable-end bamboo beam 3 from detaching from the fixed-end bamboo beam 2.

[0024] Within the same module, the bamboo beams of different layers vary in length, generally decreasing in length from bottom to top, depending on the specific design of the module. This nested design not only improves the overall strength of the module but also reduces the space it occupies, making it easier to store.

[0025] When multiple modules are combined, taking the connection of adjacent modules A, B, and C as an example, the fixed unit of module A is fixedly connected to the moving unit of module B, and the fixed unit of module B is fixedly connected to the moving unit of module C. The combination of other modules follows the same principle, forming a retractable pavilion with a bird's nest-like structure. When each module is deployed, the angle and position between the bamboo beams can be freely adjusted, thus creating a larger usable area; when it needs to be retracted, the modules can be easily closed together, achieving a tight fit and optimizing storage space.

[0026] When the bird's nest-inspired telescopic pavilion unfolds, modules of different sizes are deployed to varying degrees until the desired effect is achieved. Self-locking is achieved through the friction between the fixed-end bamboo beam 2 and the movable-end bamboo beam 3 of each module, forming a stable support structure. In addition to self-locking, multiple through holes are evenly spaced on both the fixed-end and movable-end bamboo beams 2 and 3. When a module extends to the desired position, it is secured using aligned through these through holes and detachable connections (such as inserting fixing pins), further ensuring stable support. In practical applications, this further securing mechanism can be applied to all layers of all modules, or, considering operational complexity and weight reduction, it can be used only in critical support areas or areas prone to deformation.

[0027] The main material of this invention is lightweight and tough bamboo. The frame is composed of interlaced bamboo components, forming a stable and modular mesh support structure. The design of each module allows for flexible adjustment of the internal space according to specific needs. The lightweight design of the overall structure reduces the gravitational load, making the pavilion easy to move and reconfigure (i.e., users can easily operate the telescopic function), adapting to the usage needs of different scenarios.

[0028] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing examples or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. All modifications and equivalent substitutions made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included within the protection scope of the utility model.
