Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tent technology, and in particular to a semi-automatic tent deployment, take-up, and storage device. Background Technology
[0002] Large tents, providing safe and reliable large indoor spaces under special conditions, play an indispensable role in numerous fields. In emergency rescue scenarios such as natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes, or in the post-disaster rescue phase of man-made disasters such as explosions and fires, large tents quickly become temporary shelters for affected people. They can be rapidly erected, providing basic living space for disaster victims, protecting them from wind and rain, and ensuring their basic survival needs, allowing rescue operations such as the distribution of relief supplies and medical treatment to proceed in an orderly manner. Furthermore, for various large-scale outdoor events, large tents provide spacious activity areas, avoiding disruptions from weather changes and allowing for flexible layouts to divide different functional areas, meeting the diverse needs of large groups. In the industrial sector, large tents erected at large construction sites and open-pit mining areas provide temporary rest and dining spaces for workers, effectively improving their comfort and convenience, and increasing production efficiency.
[0003] Therefore, large tents need to adapt to various terrains and environmental conditions, possess the characteristics of rapid deployment and convenient dismantling, and be able to meet the needs of long-term operation. Currently, tents are deployed and dismantled by multiple people working together to fold them, then packed and transported in large net cages. With the improvement of tent size and fabric material performance, manual folding is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and yields poor packing results, making it difficult to achieve rapid deployment and dismantling. The shape of the packed tent fabric is also inconsistent, making it difficult to determine the structural layout for net cage transport. Therefore, there is an urgent need for more professional large tent deployment, dismantling, and storage devices to enable rapid deployment, dismantling, and portable storage of tents, enhancing the mobility of temporary office spaces and improving the efficiency of temporary work and rescue operations. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a semi-automatic tent deployment and storage device, which can achieve semi-automatic deployment and storage of large tents, enabling both rapid and efficient tent deployment and storage, and safe and reliable storage of large tents.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A semi-automatic tent deployment, take-up, and storage device includes: a frame, a roller assembly, a turntable, a rotating handwheel, a pressure spring shaft, and casters.

The pressure spring shaft is located above a longitudinal beam on one side of the frame, and both ends of the pressure spring shaft pass through pre-drilled holes in the frame to be fixed to pole end joint bearings. The casters are installed at the four bottom corners of the frame.
[0007] Furthermore, the frame is a rectangular frame structure welded from steel profiles, with additional profile structures on both sides to support the roller assembly.
[0008] Furthermore, the reel assembly is fixed to the bearing pad of the frame by a vertically mounted spherical ball bearing.
[0009] Furthermore, the side of the turntable furthest from the inside of the frame is arc-shaped to limit the range of movement when the tent is rolled up.
[0010] Furthermore, a rectangular spring is installed under the spherical bearing, and the rectangular spring is fixed to the frame by a spring seat.
[0011] Furthermore, the scroll assembly includes three optical axes, two of which are fixed optical axes and one is a movable optical axis. The spacing between the three optical axes can be increased by raising the movable optical axis.
[0012] Furthermore, the handwheel is made of cast iron and is used to adjust the rotation speed at any time according to the tent's rolling-up or rolling-down status to achieve tent unfolding and retraction.
[0013] Furthermore, the bearing pads of the frame are provided with threaded holes, which are used to fix the position of the rotating handwheel with screws after the tent is rolled up to fix the rolled-up state.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited thereto.
[0022] This utility model provides a semi-automatic tent deployment, dismantling, and storage device, which enables large tents to be quickly deployed, easily dismantled, and securely stored.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 1, a scroll assembly 2, a turntable 3, a rotating handwheel 4, a pressure spring shaft 5, and casters 6. The frame 1 is a rectangular frame structure welded from profiles. The scroll assembly 2 is fixed to the bearing pad of the frame 1. The turntable 3 is mounted on the scroll assembly 2 and fixed to the inside of the frame 1. The rotating handwheel 4 is fixed to both ends of the scroll assembly 2, and its position is fixed by the threaded holes reserved on the bearing pad. The pressure spring shaft 5 is placed above the longitudinal beam on one side of the frame 1. Both ends of the pressure shaft pass through the reserved holes in the frame 1 and are fixed to the rod end joint bearings. A rectangular spring is installed under the bearing and is fixed to the frame 1 by a spring seat. Casters 6 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the frame 1, and two fixed casters are installed diagonally.
[0024] The turntable 3 is installed on the roll assembly 2 and fixed to the inside of the frame 1. The side away from the inside of the frame is arc-shaped, which can limit the range of movement when the tent is rolled up and ensure the unfolding and taking down effect.
[0025] The compression spring in the compression spring shaft 5 will deform and stretch according to the weight change of the tent on the compression shaft, and the compression shaft will move up and down to adjust the gap size between it and the frame 1.
[0026] The roll assembly 2 consists of three optical shafts, two of which are fixed optical shafts and one is a movable optical shaft. The spacing between the three optical shafts can be increased by raising the movable optical shaft. The fixing piece at the end of the tent can be placed in the three optical shafts after passing through the spring shaft 5. Then the movable optical shaft is restored to its position, which can realize the fixing of the end of the tent in the semi-automatic tent unfolding and storage device.
[0027] The tent enters the fixed position of the three optical axes through the gap between the clamping shaft and frame 1. During the deployment and take-off process, the tent can be laid flat and the air inside the tent can be emptied, improving the deployment and take-off effect.
[0028] The handwheel 4 uses a cast iron handwheel as a semi-automatic turning tool, and the speed can be adjusted at any time according to the tent rolling-up status.
[0029] The bearing pad of frame 1 has pre-drilled threaded holes. After the tent is rolled up, the screws can be used to fix the position of the rotating handwheel 4 to ensure that the rolled-up state is fixed.
[0030] The casters 6 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the frame 1, and the two fixed casters are installed diagonally, which can be used to move or temporarily fix the semi-automatic tent deployment and storage device.
[0031] The frame 1 has a rectangular space structure. After being rolled up, the tent is stored in the rectangular space in a rolled-up state. The bottom of the frame 1 is horizontal and can be moved by forklift or crane for easy loading and transportation.
[0032] The working process of the semi-automatic tent deployment and storage device of the present invention will be described below with reference to preferred embodiments.
[0033] Lay the tent flat at the designated tent-setting area. Push the semi-automatic tent deployment and storage device to the end of the tent. Lift the movable optical shaft to widen the distance between the three optical shafts. Pass the tent end through the compression spring shaft and place it into the three optical shafts of the roll assembly. Then, return the movable optical shaft to its original position to secure the tent end. Two operators turn the handwheel to begin winding up the tent. Due to the tent's weight and high friction with the ground, the operator manually controls the winding device to move forward and adjusts its left and right directions to ensure the device winds up the tent as it moves forward until winding is complete. Use the ropes on the tent to secure the wound tent. Finally, use screws to fix the handwheel position to ensure the winding is stable. Move the semi-automatic tent deployment and storage device to the fixed position and lock the casters.
[0034] Open the omnidirectional wheel to move the tent to the semi-automatic unfolding and storage position. When unfolding the tent, turn the handwheel in the opposite direction and manually pull out the end to place it on the ground. When the winding device moves forward, the tent can be laid on the ground. When it reaches the end of the tent, lift the movable optical axis to widen the distance between the three optical axes and take it out. Then lay the tent flat in the designated area to complete the tent setup.
[0035] The use of the semi-automatic tent deployment and storage device of the present invention demonstrates that this preferred embodiment can realize semi-automatic tent deployment and storage, with a simple and compact structure, high mobility, saving manpower and time costs during deployment and storage, improving deployment and storage efficiency, and meeting the usage requirements of tent deployment and storage.
[0036] It should be noted that the above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications, improvements, and equivalent substitutions can be made to this utility model without departing from its principles, and such modifications, improvements, and equivalent substitutions are also considered to fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
