Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of temporary building technology, specifically a convenient umbrella-shaped membrane structure tent that can be easily assembled and disassembled. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demand for outdoor activities, large-span tents are being used more and more widely in exhibitions, warehousing, and temporary accommodation. Traditional large-span tents mostly use a central pillar support structure, which can ensure structural stability, but the presence of the central pillar severely divides the internal space, resulting in reduced site utilization, especially affecting the setup of large equipment or the flow of people.
[0003] To eliminate the obstruction of the central pillar, many tents currently use arched frames without pillars. However, such structures are not only complex to assemble and disassemble, difficult to operate, and time-consuming, but they also rely solely on the support poles at the four corners of the frame to sit on the ground. Stability is improved by adding extra loads, connecting and binding fixed objects, and using bolts to fix them to the ground. However, the surrounding tarpaulin results in a large wind load area, leading to poor wind resistance. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a convenient umbrella-shaped membrane structure tent that can be easily assembled and disassembled. The central support pole does not touch the ground through the cooperation of the edge diagonal bracing rods, tie rods, and steel cables. The overall structure is tensioned, positioned, safe, and secure. The tent membrane is laid on top to further reduce the wind load on the edges, which can effectively improve space utilization and wind resistance. It is easy to assemble and disassemble and is easy to reuse.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a conveniently assembled and disassembled umbrella-shaped membrane structure tent, comprising a central support pole, a tent membrane, multiple edge diagonal support poles, multiple tie rods, multiple supporting steel cables, and multiple anti-tilting steel cables. The multiple edge diagonal support poles are evenly arranged around the tent. Two tie rods are hinged to the top of the outer side of each edge diagonal support pole. The two tie rods are arranged in a Λ-shaped fork. Positioning plates are hinged to the bottom of each edge diagonal support pole and tie rod and fixed to the ground with bolts. The edge diagonal support poles combined with the two tie rods form a triangular support structure. The central support pole is arranged at the center of the tent. Above, a flange connection seat is integrally set at the bottom of the central support rod and connected to the inner top of the corresponding edge diagonal support rod through an equal number of supporting steel cables. A hanging ring is integrally set in the middle section of the central support rod and connected to the inner top of the corresponding edge diagonal support rod through multiple evenly arranged anti-tilting steel cables. Both the supporting steel cables and the anti-tilting steel cables are equipped with turnbuckles to support and position the central support rod by tensioning. The center position of the tarpaulin membrane is supported at the top of the central support rod. All edge diagonal support rods are integrally set with screws at their tops and screwed to install node plates. The edge of the tarpaulin membrane is hung on the screws of the edge diagonal support rods and clamped and fixed by the node plates.
[0006] Furthermore, a conical locating element is threadedly connected to the top of the central support rod, and a perforated circular plate is installed at the center of the tarpaulin membrane. The perforated circular plate is clamped and positioned between the conical locating element and the top of the central support rod.
[0007] Furthermore, a lightning rod is installed at the top of the cone-shaped positioning component.
[0008] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses edge diagonal braces, tie rods, and steel cables to form a circumferential tensioning system for the tent, while simultaneously achieving the suspended positioning of the central support rod. Since the central support rod does not touch the ground, it completely eliminates the encroachment of the central column of the traditional pole tent membrane structure on the internal space, forming an unobstructed and complete dome space, effectively improving space utilization. Moreover, the triangular topological layout of the diagonal braces and tie rods, combined with the radial constraint of the prestressed steel cables, forms a spatial self-balancing force system, which significantly improves the overall structural stiffness while reducing the bending moment of the members. The overall tensioning and positioning of the structure is safer and more secure. The tent membrane adopts a top-concentrated paving design, combined with the pull-out anchoring nodes set at the bottom of the edge diagonal braces and tie rods, effectively suppressing wind-induced vibration, further reducing the edge wind load, and effectively improving wind resistance. The overall structure is simple and reasonable, easy to assemble and disassemble, easy to reuse, and extends service life. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0015] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a conveniently assembled and disassembled umbrella-shaped membrane structure tent includes edge diagonal bracing 1, tie rod 2, central bracing 3, supporting steel cable 4, anti-tilting steel cable 5, and tent membrane 6.
[0016] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the main frame consists of a central strut 3, multiple edge diagonal struts 1, multiple tie rods 2, multiple supporting steel cables 4, and multiple anti-tilting steel cables 5, wherein:
[0017] The multiple edge bracing rods 1 are evenly arranged around the tent, serving as side pillars of the tent's outline and as the supporting foundation for lifting the central support rod 3 off the ground. Two tie rods 2 are hinged to the top outer side of each edge bracing rod 1, with the two tie rods 2 branching in a Λ-shape. Positioning plates are hinged to the bottom of each edge bracing rod 1 and tie rod 2 and fixed to the ground with bolts, thus causing all the edge bracing rods 1 to diverge outwards from the tent's center, and the edge bracing rods 1 combined with the two tie rods 2 form a stable triangular support structure.
[0018] The central support pole 3 is positioned above the center of the tent and is suspended in mid-air by tensioning it with the edge diagonal support poles 1 around the tent via steel cables. This lifts it off the ground, eliminating encroachment on the tent's interior space. Specifically, a flange connector 3-1 is integrally installed at the bottom of the central support pole 3 and connected to the inner top of the corresponding edge diagonal support pole 1 via an equal number of supporting steel cables 4. A hook-and-loop ring 3-2 is integrally installed in the middle section of the central support pole 3 and connected to the inner top of the corresponding edge diagonal support pole 1 via multiple evenly distributed anti-tilting steel cables 5. Both the supporting steel cables 4 and the anti-tilting steel cables 5 are secured with turnbuckles, which, when tensioned, support and position the central support pole 3. Since the central support pole 3 requires more stable tension, the flange connector 3-1 should be connected to all edge diagonal support poles 1 via supporting steel cables 4. However, the vertical positioning of the central support pole 3 only requires uniform tension; therefore, the hook-and-loop ring 3-2 only needs three or more evenly distributed anti-tilting steel cables 5 connected to the corresponding edge diagonal support pole 1.
[0019] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, a tarpaulin membrane 6 is laid on top of the main frame to form the overall tent structure, wherein:
[0020] The tarpaulin 6 is supported at the top of the central support rod 3 at its center position. All the edge diagonal support rods 1 are integrally provided with screws at their top ends and are screwed to install node plates. The edges of the tarpaulin 6 are hung on the screws of the edge diagonal support rods 1 and clamped and fixed by the node plates.
[0021] Furthermore, to facilitate quick and accurate centering of the tarpaulin membrane 6 and convenient assembly and positioning of the tarpaulin membrane 6 and the central support rod 3, a conical apex positioning component 3-3 can be threaded onto the top of the central support rod 3. A perforated circular plate 6-1 is installed at the center of the tarpaulin membrane 6, allowing for quick alignment of the tarpaulin membrane 6 with the top of the central support rod 3. The perforated circular plate 6-1 is then clamped and positioned between the conical apex positioning component 3-3 and the top of the central support rod 3, thus achieving the assembly and fixation of the tarpaulin membrane 6 at its center. Given that the tent will be used outdoors, even in open areas, to avoid the risk of lightning strikes, a lightning rod can be installed at the top of the conical apex positioning component 3-3 and grounded to ensure safety.
