Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tent accessories technology, and in particular to a connecting component for a tent cross rib. Background Technology

[0002] In the overall structure of a tent, the cross ribs are undoubtedly the core element that supports the stability of the tent. Whether the connection between them is firm and reliable plays a decisive role in the stability of the tent in various environments and the safety of the user. The cross ribs are the key part that supports the overall structure of the tent, and the stability of their connection directly affects the stability and safety of the tent.

[0003] Most existing tents use simple rope binding and cross-bones connection. In the actual setup process, operators have to concentrate on carefully winding the ropes and tying each knot meticulously in order to achieve a relatively stable connection.

[0004] However, the method of binding the cross bones with ropes is extremely cumbersome during the setup process. It requires a lot of time to carefully wrap the ropes and tie knots. Moreover, the ropes are prone to wear and loosening in the outdoor environment, which can lead to connection failure. Especially in severe weather conditions such as strong winds, the cross bones of the rope connection may come apart due to uneven stress, causing the tent to collapse and failing to provide reliable shelter for the user. Some tents also use simple metal clips or plastic buckles to connect the cross bones.

[0005] Therefore, a connector for a tent cross rib is provided to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a connector for tent cross ribs, aiming to improve the existing technology of using ropes to tie cross ribs. This method is extremely cumbersome during the setup process, requiring a lot of time to carefully wind and knot the ropes. Moreover, the ropes are prone to wear and loosening in outdoor environments, leading to connection failure. Especially in severe weather conditions such as strong winds, the rope-connected cross ribs may come apart due to uneven stress, causing the tent to collapse and failing to provide reliable shelter for the user. Some tents also use simple metal clips or plastic buckles to connect the cross ribs.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a connector for a tent cross rib, comprising a connector body, wherein the connector body has an installation groove 1, an installation groove 2, and an installation groove 3 inside, and a limiting component is provided on the connector body, the limiting component being used to limit the outer connector.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a connecting seat, which is fixedly connected to the connecting body, and a limiting plate is provided on the connecting seat.

[0009] Furthermore, three connectors are provided, and each connector is fixedly installed on the outside of the connector body.

[0010] Furthermore, two limiting plates are provided, and both limiting plates are fixedly connected to the connecting seat.

[0011] Furthermore, the connector has a through groove inside.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. In this utility model, when setting up a tent, the ends of the cross bones are inserted into the mounting slots of the connector body to complete the initial positioning. Then, the limiting plate on the connector tightly fits the inserted cross bones, limiting them from multiple directions to ensure a stable connection. It is not easy to come out under external force, thus ensuring the stability of the tent structure. When disassembling, it can be removed by overcoming the friction between the limiting plate and the cross bones, which is convenient and quick. This connector achieves the effects of stable connection, easy operation and storage, and improves the convenience and safety of tent use. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Reference Figures 1-4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a connecting component for a tent cross rib, comprising a connecting component body 1, an installation groove 2, an installation groove 3, and an installation groove 4 inside the connecting component body 1, and a limiting component provided on the connecting component body 1 for limiting the outer connecting component, the limiting component including a connecting seat 5, the connecting seat 5 being fixedly connected to the connecting component body 1, the connecting seat 5 being provided with a limiting plate 6, three connecting seats 5 being provided, all of which are fixedly installed on the outer side of the connecting component body 1, two limiting plates 6 being provided, both of which are fixedly connected to the connecting seat 5, and a through groove 7 inside the connecting seat 5;

[0022] When setting up the tent, firstly, align the different tent cross bones with the mounting slots 2, 3, and 4 inside the connector body 1 and insert them. The shape and size of these mounting slots are adapted to the ends of the tent cross bones, providing initial positioning and accommodation. This ensures the cross bones have a relatively fixed position after insertion, preventing them from wobbling or shifting within the connector. Next, the three connecting seats 5 located on the outside of the connector body 1 play a crucial limiting role. Two limiting plates 6 fixedly connected to each connecting seat 5 form a specific limiting space. When the tent cross bone is inserted into the mounting slot, the limiting plates 6 apply constraint from the side of the cross bone, restricting its horizontal displacement. Because the three connecting seats 5 limit the cross bone from different angles, it ensures comprehensive protection. This design ensures the stability of the cross ribs within the connector, effectively preventing them from coming off or loosening under external forces such as wind or tent pry. Furthermore, the through-slot 7 inside the connector 5 reduces the weight of the connector without compromising its overall strength and limiting function, preventing it from adding unnecessary burden to the overall tent structure. The through-slot 7 also allows for auxiliary connection methods, such as threading ropes or other fixing devices through it, further enhancing the reliability of the tent's cross rib connection and ensuring the tent maintains structural integrity and stability in various complex environments, meeting usage requirements.

[0023] Working principle: When using this device, firstly, align the different tent cross bones with the mounting slots 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4 inside the connector body 1 and insert them. Then, through the three connecting seats 5 located on the outside of the connector body 1, two limiting plates 6 fixedly connected to each connecting seat 5 form a specific limiting space. When the tent cross bone is inserted into the mounting slot, the limiting plates 6 apply constraint from the side of the cross bone, limiting its displacement in the horizontal direction. Since the three connecting seats 5 limit the cross bone from different angles, the stability of the cross bone in the connector is guaranteed in all aspects. In addition, the through slots 7 opened inside the connecting seats 5 reduce the weight of the connector without affecting the overall strength and limiting function of the connecting seats 5, so that it will not add unnecessary burden to the overall tent structure due to excessive weight.

[0024] 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. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
