Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tents, and more particularly to a connector with lighting function and a tent. Background Technology

[0002] The lack of lighting is a significant drawback in existing tent designs. For example, without lighting, nighttime activities become extremely inconvenient, forcing campers to fumble in the dark, increasing the risk of lost items, collisions, and even falls, thus negatively impacting the camping experience. Furthermore, while campers can bring their own flashlights, headlamps, and other lighting equipment, these items need to be carried separately, adding to the burden of luggage. In addition, in extreme weather conditions such as rain or fog, insufficient lighting inside the tent can lead to blurred vision, further affecting campers' activities and safety. Therefore, the lack of lighting significantly reduces the user-friendliness of tents, and this issue urgently needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, the purpose of this application is to solve the defect of the lack of lighting function in the existing tents.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a connector with lighting functionality and a tent, wherein the connector is provided with:

[0005] Multiple connecting slots are arranged sequentially at intervals along the periphery of the connector. Each connecting slot has an opening that communicates both horizontally and vertically. The connecting slot is used to connect with the support tube of the tent. The support tube is rotatable relative to the connector within the connecting slot.

[0006] A protrusion structure is disposed inside the connecting groove, the protrusion structure being located on the vertical inner wall surface of the connecting groove to limit the rotation angle of the support tube.

[0007] A lighting assembly for illuminating the interior space of the tent.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0032] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this application discloses a tent 100, which includes a support tube 300, a cover cloth, and a connector 200 with lighting function.

[0033] The connector 200 is connected to the support tube 300 and is located at the top of the tent 100. The support tube 300 is covered by the cover cloth 400. The connector 200 can extend into the interior space enclosed by the cover cloth 400 to illuminate the interior space.

[0034] Understandably, the support tube 300 is the "skeleton" of the entire tent 100, and the covering cloth 400 is supported by the support tube 300. The connector 200 is located on the top of the support tube 300. One end of the connector 200 is connected to the support tube 300, and the other end is embedded in the covering cloth 400 to illuminate the interior space of the covering cloth 400.

[0035] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the connector 200 of this application specifically includes: a plurality of connection slots 22 and a lighting assembly 21.

[0036] Specifically, multiple connecting grooves 22 are arranged sequentially and spaced apart along the periphery of the connector 200. Each connecting groove 22 has an opening that communicates both horizontally and vertically. The connecting grooves 22 are used to connect with the support tube 300, and the support tube 300 can rotate relative to the connector 200 within the connecting grooves 22.

[0037] A protrusion structure 221 is disposed inside the connecting groove 22. The protrusion structure 221 is located on the inner wall surface of the connecting groove 22 in the vertical direction to limit the rotation angle of the support tube 300.

[0038] Lighting assembly 21 is used to illuminate the interior space of tent 100.

[0039] It is understood that the connecting groove 22 is a groove structure with horizontal and vertical walls, and the support tube 300 can rotate within the connecting groove 22, that is, the horizontal inner wall and the vertical inner wall of the connecting groove 22 form a right angle structure.

[0040] Preferably, each support tube 300 is hinged to each connecting groove 22, so that the flexible rotation of the support tube 300 can be more flexible and convenient when the tent 100 is stored.

[0041] Preferably, the connecting groove 22 has an upward opening in the vertical direction, so that when the tent 100 needs to be stored, the connector 200 can be located at the bottom of the support tube 300. This design helps the tent 100 to be folded and stored quickly, reduces storage space, and improves portability.

[0042] In this embodiment of the application, there are three connecting slots 22, which are equidistantly arranged on the periphery of the connector 200.

[0043] It is understandable that the protrusion structure 221 is set on the lower horizontal inner wall surface, so that when the tent 100 is unfolded, each support tube 300 can avoid extending in the vertical direction, ensuring that each support tube 300 can open up to form a certain angle to support the cover cloth 400, so as to form the internal space.

[0044] By setting the protrusion structure 221 on the vertical inner wall of the connecting groove 22, it can limit the rotation angle of the support tube 300, preventing excessive rotation of the support tube 300 during connection. That is, when the tent 100 is unfolded, the protrusion structure 221 ensures that the support tube 300 does not rotate excessively on the horizontal inner wall, thereby ensuring that the support tube 300 can maintain a certain opening angle. This angle is necessary for the tent 100 to form an internal space, ensuring that the covering cloth 400 can be fully unfolded and form sufficient internal space. Therefore, by limiting the rotation of the support tube 300, the protrusion structure 221 helps maintain the overall shape and structural stability of the tent 100, preventing the tent 100 from deforming or collapsing due to excessive rotation of the support tube 300.

[0045] Therefore, by adopting the above-described structural form, the lighting component 21 is designed to provide necessary lighting for nighttime camping, making it more convenient for campers to carry out activities (such as reading, eating, and organizing equipment) inside the tent 100. Moreover, in the dark, the lighting can reduce the occurrence of accidents such as falls and collisions, providing campers with a safe living environment. Furthermore, the lighting component 21 integrated into the tent 100 does not require additional carrying, reducing the burden on campers. In addition, the integrated design of the lighting component 21 and the tent 100 also makes the overall structure more compact and does not occupy extra space.

[0046] Furthermore, the three connecting slots 22 are evenly distributed around the periphery of the connector 200, allowing the support tubes 300 to distribute the force more evenly during connection, increasing the stability of the tent 100 structure and preventing the tent 100 from tilting or collapsing due to excessive force at a single point. Additionally, the equidistant arrangement of the three connecting slots 22 ensures that the lighting components 21 are evenly positioned on the top of the tent 100, providing more uniform and sufficient internal lighting, avoiding blind spots, and improving the camper's experience. Since each support tube 300 is hinged to the connecting slot 22, the support tube 300 can rotate within the connecting slot 22. This design improves the flexibility of the tent 100 during setup and dismantling, making the assembly and disassembly of the tent 100 more convenient.

[0047] like Figure 6 As shown, the lighting assembly 21 is located at the center of the connector 200, and the bottom end of the connector 200 has a downward-facing receiving cavity 23 for accommodating the lighting assembly 21. Thus, because the lighting assembly 21 is located at the center of the connector 200, the light can diffuse evenly in all directions, providing uniform lighting inside the tent 100. Secondly, the design of the receiving cavity 23 allows the lighting assembly 21 to be integrated into the structure of the connector 200 without occupying additional space, maintaining the overall simplicity and portability of the tent 100. Furthermore, the receiving cavity 23 provides a protective shell for the lighting assembly 21, preventing it from being impacted or damaged during transportation, setup, and use. Finally, the design of the receiving cavity 23, combined with waterproof and dustproof sealing measures, protects the lighting assembly 21 from rain and dust, improving its environmental adaptability and lifespan.

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, the lighting assembly 21 includes a lamp cover 211, a lamp body 213, and a lamp holder 212.

[0049] The cross-sectional dimensions of the lamp cover 211 and the lamp holder 212 are adapted to the cross-sectional dimensions of the receiving cavity 23, and the lamp holder 212 can fix the lamp body 213 on the lamp cover 211.

[0050] Therefore, both the lamp cover 211 and the lamp holder 212 are adapted to the cross-sectional dimensions of the receiving cavity 23, ensuring that the lighting assembly 21 can be stably installed in the designated position of the tent 100 without shaking or falling off due to size mismatch. At the same time, the compatibility between the lamp holder 212 and the receiving cavity 23 also makes the installation process simple and quick. Users can easily install the lamp body 213 into the connector 200 without complicated adjustments or additional fixing tools. In addition, the design of the lamp holder 212 can enhance the structural strength of the lamp body 213, enabling it to withstand certain external forces, such as collisions or compressions, without being easily damaged. Finally, the lighting assembly 21 is fixed in the receiving cavity 23 without affecting the appearance design of the tent 100, thus maintaining the overall aesthetics of the tent 100.

[0051] In this embodiment, the lamp body 213 is an LED lamp, which can have higher energy efficiency and longer service life, and reduce the impact on the environment.

[0052] In this embodiment, the lamp holder 212 is provided with a snap-fit ​​member 2121 at its end, and the lamp cover 211 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 2111 on its outer wall surface. The lamp holder 212 is connected to the lamp cover 211 by snapping the snap-fit ​​member 2121 into the snap-fit ​​groove 2111. This design allows users to quickly connect the lamp holder 212 to the lamp cover 211 without the need for screws or other fasteners, simplifying the installation process. Moreover, the cooperation between the snap-fit ​​member 2121 and the snap-fit ​​groove 2111 ensures that the connection between the lamp cover 211 and the lamp holder 212 is stable and not easy to loosen, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure.

[0053] In this embodiment, the lamp holder 212 is a tubular structure, and an abutment platform 2122 is provided on the inner wall of the lamp holder 212. The abutment platform 2122 is annular in shape to support the lamp body 213. The design of the abutment platform 2122 can effectively support the lamp body 213, ensuring that the lamp body 213 is stably fixed within the lamp holder 212 and will not move or fall off due to external forces. The annular design of the abutment platform 2122 can provide uniform support around the lamp body 213, avoiding damage to the lamp body 213 due to excessive local pressure. Moreover, the abutment platform 2122 can also play a buffering role. When the lamp body 213 is subjected to external vibration, the abutment platform 2122 can absorb some of the vibration energy, reducing the damage to the internal electronic components of the lamp body 213. Furthermore, the design of the tubular lamp holder 212 and the annular abutment platform 2122 makes the installation process of the lamp body 213 simple. The lamp body 213 can be simply inserted into the lamp holder 212 and positioned and fixed by the abutment platform 2122, simplifying the installation process.

[0054] Furthermore, the lamp body 213 has a plate-like structure and is located on the abutment platform 2122. This arrangement allows the plate-like lamp body 213 to provide a large area of ​​light source, resulting in more uniform light distribution, reduced shadows and dark corners, and a comfortable lighting environment. The plate-like lamp body 213, located on the abutment platform 2122, can be placed stably, reducing the possibility of movement or wobbling within the receiving cavity 23 and improving the overall structural stability. The plate-like structure also facilitates better heat dissipation, as heat can be dissipated along the larger surface area, preventing the lamp body 213 from overheating and extending its service life.

[0055] In this embodiment, the lamp holder 212 has an opening at its bottom, which is an expansion structure to extend the illumination range of the lamp body 213. The purpose of this design is that the expansion opening allows the light emitted from the lamp body 213 to diffuse at the bottom, thereby expanding the illumination range, reducing blind spots, and allowing the light to be distributed more evenly, thus improving the overall lighting effect, especially in outdoor environments where extensive lighting is required.

[0056] Furthermore, the lighting assembly 21 also includes a lampshade 214, which is disposed at the bottom end of the lamp holder 212 and located at the opening of the expansion structure. The design of the lampshade 214 can effectively prevent dust and insects from entering the interior of the lamp body 213, protecting the interior of the lamp body 213 and extending the service life of the lighting assembly 21.

[0057] In other embodiments, there may be multiple connectors 200, all of which are located on the top of the tent 100. Specifically, the positions of the connectors 200 can be arranged as needed according to the actual structural size of the tent 100.

[0058] In this application, another embodiment is also disclosed, in which there are multiple connectors 200, which are arranged sequentially at intervals; the tent 100 also includes an adapter 500, which is disposed at the center of the multiple connectors 200 and connected to the connectors 200 on both sides through the support tube 300.

[0059] By setting the adapter 500, which serves as the center point to connect the connectors 200 on both sides, the stability of the entire tent 100 can be enhanced, making the tent 100 more robust and less prone to collapse when subjected to external forces. In other words, by connecting the support tube 300 and the connector 200 through the adapter 500, a more robust structural frame is formed, improving the overall strength and durability of the tent 100. Furthermore, since the adapter 500 is located at the center of multiple connectors 200, it can effectively and evenly distribute the pressure on the top or sides of the tent 100 to each connector 200, reducing local pressure concentration and extending the service life of the tent 100.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment, there are two connectors 200, and an adapter 500 is provided between the two connectors 200 to connect the two sets of connectors 200 and the support tube 300 on both sides. The structure of the adapter 500 is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0061] The foregoing description has fully disclosed the specific embodiments of this application. It should be noted that any modifications made by those skilled in the art to the specific embodiments of this application do not depart from the scope of the claims. Accordingly, the scope of the claims of this application is not limited to the foregoing specific embodiments.
