Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an air column tent, and more particularly to an air column tent that facilitates ventilation. Background Technology
[0002] Air column outdoor tents include air column inner tents and outer tents; among them, air column inner tents are divided into two types.
[0003] The first type has the air column installed on the inside of the inner tent, and the second type has the air column installed on the outside of the inner tent.
[0004] The air column is inside the tent, and the outer drape at the top is flush with the tent fabric, meaning the two layers of fabric only provide the functionality of one. This has the following drawbacks: 1. It cannot function as an outer drape. A certain gap needs to be maintained between the outer drape and the inner tent for better warmth, insulation, and waterproofing. 2. It cannot provide ventilation at the top. In camping conditions, hot air rises, making top ventilation the most reasonable approach.
[0005] The following technical problems exist with air columns on the outside of the inner tent: 1. Air columns are easily worn and damaged. 2. For tents of the same size, more material is needed for air columns on the outside. Utility Model Content
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an air column outdoor tent that utilizes ventilation and whose air column is not easily worn.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a ventilation-friendly air column tent, including an inner tent, a top cover and an inflatable column assembly; the inner tent includes inclined side walls and a top; the inflatable column assembly includes multiple air columns; the air columns are attached to the inner tent and support the inner tent.
[0008] The air column includes an inclined vertical air column and a top air column;
[0009] The inclination of the upright air column is less than the inclination of the side wall of the inner tent. The upright air column passes through the inner tent, with the lower end of the upright air column located inside the inner tent and the upper end of the upright air column and the top air column located outside the inner tent.
[0010] The top cover covers the top air column, and there is a ventilation layer between the top cover and the top of the inner tent;
[0011] The top of the inner tent has ventilation openings, which are covered by the canopy.
[0012] A further technical solution of this utility model is that the ventilation opening is provided with a mesh screen.
[0013] A further technical solution of this utility model is as follows: the inner side of the inner tent is provided with a lower air column sleeve; an inner wrapping piece is sewn on the inner side of the inner tent wall fabric to form the lower air column sleeve, and the inner wrapping piece is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top.
[0014] A further technical solution of this utility model is: the inner wrapping sheet is provided with a zipper.
[0015] A further technical solution of this utility model is: the bottom of the wall fabric of the inner tent where the inner wrapping sheet is located is a wear-resistant fabric.
[0016] A further technical solution of this utility model is as follows: the outer side of the inner tent is provided with an upper air column sleeve, and an outer wrapping piece is sewn on the outer side of the inner tent wall fabric to form the upper air column sleeve. The outer wrapping piece is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.
[0017] A further technical solution of this utility model is: the inflatable column assembly includes multiple parallel n-shaped air columns.
[0018] A further technical solution of this utility model is: the inflatable column assembly includes multiple parallel arched air columns, and the adjacent arched air columns are connected by connecting air pipes.
[0019] A further technical solution of this utility model is: the inner diameter of the air column is 5-15CM, and the height of the upright air column inside the inner tent is greater than 30CM.
[0020] A further technical solution of this utility model is: the lower end of the air column is provided with an inflation port; and an air pump is also provided.
[0021] Compared with the existing technology, the advantages of this utility model are: the air tube at the top adopts an exposed technology, which creates the necessary space between the outer awning and the inner tent. This spacing optimizes the ventilation performance of the top, and the outer awning can be either top-covered or fully covered, flexibly adapting to the changing outdoor environment.
[0022] With the bottom of the air column located inside the tent, the force can be evenly distributed. This technology makes the overall structure of the tent more stable, enhancing its wind resistance and stability in the face of severe weather.
[0023] Placing the air column inside the inner tent reduces the risk of wear and damage. This technology not only protects the air column and extends the tent's lifespan, but also improves safety and ensures the air column's reliability and durability during outdoor activities.

[0035] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0036] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it will not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0037] like Figure 1The diagram shows the overall structure of the air column tent 100 in this embodiment. The air column tent mainly includes an inner tent 20, a top cover 21, and an inflatable column assembly 22. The inner tent 20 includes inclined side walls and a top; the inflatable column assembly 22 includes multiple air columns 22e, each including an inclined upright air column and a top air column 22a. The inclination of the upright air column is less than the inclination of the side walls of the inner tent 20. The upright air column passes through the inner tent 20, with its lower end located inside the inner tent 20 and its upper end and the top air column 22a located outside the inner tent 20. The air columns 22e are attached to the inner tent 20 and support it. The top cover 21 covers the top air column 22a. A ventilation layer exists between the top cover 21 and the top of the inner tent 20. A ventilation opening 23 is provided on the top of the inner tent 20, which is covered by the top cover 21. The ventilation opening 23 is provided with mesh.
[0038] The outer side of the inner tent 20 is provided with an upper air column sleeve 40. An outer wrapping piece 32 is sewn on the outer side of the inner tent 20 wall fabric 33 to form the upper air column sleeve 40. The outer wrapping piece 32 is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The inner side of the inner tent is provided with a lower air column sleeve 41. An inner wrapping piece 31 is sewn on the inner side of the inner tent wall fabric 33 to form the lower air column sleeve 41. The inner wrapping piece 31 is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top.
[0039] When setting up the tent, first lay the inner tent 20 on a flat surface, ensuring the sloping sidewalls and top are correctly aligned. Next, attach the inflatable column assembly 22 to the inner tent 20, with the lower air column 22c on the inside and the upper air column 22b and top air column 22a on the outside. The inner tent 20 is thus stabilized by the support of the inflatable column assembly 22.
[0040] Specifically, the inner tent has a ventilation opening 23 at the top, which is covered by a top cover 21. The ventilation opening 23 is fitted with mesh to prevent insects from entering. The technique of the top cover 21 covering the top air column 22a, together with the top of the inner tent 20, forms a ventilation layer that effectively improves the tent's ventilation performance. This structure not only promotes air circulation but also helps regulate the temperature and humidity inside the tent, maintaining a comfortable living environment.
[0041] Meanwhile, the ventilation opening 23 at the top of the inner tent 20, combined with the covering 21, achieves both ventilation and rain protection. The mesh of the ventilation opening 23 further enhances the insect-proof effect, ensuring ventilation while preventing insects from entering the tent, thus improving the safety and hygiene of the living area.
[0042] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the air column 22e is 5-15 cm, and the height of the upright air column inside the inner tent 20 is greater than 30 cm, so as to ensure the stability and strength of the air column assembly 22 after inflation and ensure that the tent has enough space to accommodate the user.
[0043] like Figure 2The diagram shown is a disassembled schematic of the top cover 21 of the air column tent 100 in this embodiment. Ventilation openings 23 are specially provided at the top of the inner tent 20 and cleverly covered by the top cover 21, ensuring that the ventilation openings 23 are fitted with fine mesh. This mesh technique allows for free airflow, reduces internal moisture accumulation, and improves comfort inside the tent.
[0044] Furthermore, the technique of covering the ventilation openings 23 with the canopy 21 ensures that rainwater does not directly enter the tent during rainy weather, keeping the interior dry. This technique not only prevents rainwater intrusion but also maintains air circulation, avoiding the stuffiness caused by being enclosed.
[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 The diagram shown illustrates the structure of the upper air column 22b and the lower air column 22c in this embodiment. An inner covering piece 31 is sewn onto the inside of the inner tent 20 to form a lower air column sleeve; the inner covering piece 31 is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. A zipper 34 is provided on the inner covering piece 31 for easy and quick installation and removal of the air column 22e.
[0046] Specifically, an outer wrapping piece 32 is sewn onto the outside of the inner tent 20 to form an upper air column sleeve. The shape of the inner wrapping piece 31, which is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, is beneficial to the stability of the air column assembly 22, ensuring that the air column 22e is more evenly distributed when under force, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the tent.
[0047] like Figure 5 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the inner wrapping piece 31 in this embodiment. The inner wrapping piece 31 is equipped with a zipper, making the installation and removal of the air column 22e quicker and more convenient. The zipper improves the efficiency of tent setup and storage, and also facilitates the maintenance and inspection of the air column 22e. The inner wrapping piece 31 has a shape that is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. This structure is beneficial to the stability and distribution of support force of the air column 22e, and also facilitates the installation and positioning of the air column 22e.
[0048] like Figure 6 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the outer wrapping sheet 32 in this embodiment. The outer wrapping sheet 32 has a shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, which can protect the air column assembly 22 from external damage. The outer wrapping sheet 32 is used in conjunction with the inner wrapping sheet 21 to provide double protection for the air column 22e, reducing wear and damage to the air column 22e and improving the durability and reliability of the tent.
[0049] Meanwhile, the bottom of the tent wall fabric where the inner wrapping sheet 31 and the outer wrapping sheet 32 are located is made of abrasion-resistant fabric 33. This material choice improves the durability of the tent, enabling it to withstand more use and harsh weather conditions, and extending the tent's service life.
[0050] Preferably, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the air column assembly 22 includes multiple parallel n-shaped air columns 22e. By laying multiple parallel n-shaped air columns 22e to support the tent structure, the technical means of multiple n-shaped air columns 22e allows the interior space of the tent to be expanded, making the interior space of the tent more open and providing users with more activity space.
[0051] Or, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the inflatable column assembly 22 includes multiple parallel arched air columns 22e. Adjacent arched air columns 22e are connected by connecting air pipes 22d. Since the arched air columns 22e are independent of each other but connected by connecting air pipes 22d, this connection method enhances the rigidity of the entire inflatable column assembly. When subjected to external forces, it can better disperse pressure, allowing the tent to maintain good shape and structural integrity under complex environmental conditions, thereby further improving the stability and safety of the tent.
