Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to tents, and more particularly to a tent light strip mounting structure. Background Technology

[0002] In outdoor camping and related activities, tents, as important temporary accommodations, are receiving increasing attention for their versatility and convenience. Among these, lighting is crucial for nighttime use. However, current mainstream tent lighting installation structures suffer from a series of problems that urgently need to be addressed.

[0003] Currently, one method of installing tent lighting involves using double-sided tape to attach LED light strips to the slots of the inverted U-shaped top pole. However, because tents are mostly located outdoors, the double-sided tape ages easily, causing the LED light strips to detach. Furthermore, the transparent cover is typically fixed to the slots of the inverted U-shaped top pole using adhesive. This bonding method has significant drawbacks: firstly, the use of adhesive complicates the installation process, requires highly skilled installers, and is inefficient; secondly, when repairing or replacing the light strips, the adhesive makes removing the transparent cover difficult, easily damaging both the cover and the light strips, and wasting considerable time and effort, significantly impacting the maintainability of the tent lighting system. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the aforementioned defects or one of the defects in the existing technology, this utility model proposes a tent light strip mounting structure, and the technical solution adopted is as follows:

[0005] A tent light strip mounting structure includes a top rod profile. The lower end of the top rod profile has a cavity with an opening facing downwards. Unlike the prior art, the two side walls of the cavity are symmetrically provided with first limiting protrusions that protrude inwards and extend continuously along the length direction of the top rod profile. The LED light strip is limited and fixed after being inserted into the cavity above the two first limiting protrusions.

[0006] Furthermore, the two side walls of the cavity below the first limiting protrusion are symmetrically provided with second limiting protrusions that protrude inward and extend continuously along the length direction of the top rod profile, and the transparent cover plate covers the opening of the cavity by hooks on both sides that are adapted to the second limiting protrusions.

[0007] Furthermore, the transparent cover plate is elastic, and when the hook is pressed into the second limiting protrusion, the hook undergoes an elastic deformation that expands outward, thereby generating a continuous pressing force on the second limiting protrusion.

[0008] Furthermore, the hook includes a hook handle that abuts against the inner side of the second limiting protrusion and a hook head that abuts against the upper end face of the second limiting protrusion.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner and / or outer surfaces of the transparent cover are provided with a light diffusion structure, the light diffusion structure including a plurality of prismatic protrusions evenly distributed along its length, the height of the prismatic protrusions being 0.5-1.5mm, and the spacing between adjacent prismatic protrusions being 1-2mm.

[0010] Furthermore, the lower surface of the transparent cover plate is tangent to the lower end of the top rod profile.

[0011] Furthermore, the cavity is provided with one or more partition walls connecting the two side walls.

[0012] Furthermore, the distance between one of the partition walls and the first limiting protrusion is equal to or slightly less than the thickness of the LED light strip.

[0013] Furthermore, a through hole is formed on the upper end face of the top rod profile, and a DC power socket is installed in the through hole. The DC power socket is connected to the LED light strip through a wire.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] Easy installation: Eliminating the use of double-sided tape and glue, the LED light strip can be directly inserted and fixed by setting the first limiting protrusion on both sides of the top rod profile cavity, which greatly simplifies the installation process, reduces the technical requirements for installers, and improves installation efficiency.

[0016] High stability: The LED light strip is fixed by limiting protrusions, which avoids the problem of the light strip falling off due to the aging of double-sided tape, making the light strip more securely fixed on the tent pole and ensuring the normal use of the lighting system.

[0017] Easy maintenance: When the LED light strip needs to be repaired or replaced, simply remove the light strip from the limiting protrusion, saving a lot of time and effort and improving the maintainability of the tent lighting system. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1-4 The tent light strip installation structure shown includes a top rod profile 1, the lower end of which has a downward-facing cavity 11. The cavity 11 is characterized by having symmetrically arranged first limiting protrusions 12 on both side walls that protrude inward and extend continuously along the length of the top rod profile 1. The LED light strip 100 is fixed after being inserted into the cavity above the two first limiting protrusions 12.

[0027] Working principle

[0028] The tent light strip mounting structure utilizes the special construction of the top rod profile 1 to fix the LED light strip 100. On both sides of the cavity 11 with its lower opening facing downwards, there are first limiting protrusions 12 that protrude inwards and extend continuously along the length direction. When the LED light strip 100 is inserted into the cavity above the two first limiting protrusions 12, the first limiting protrusions 12 limit the light strip from both sides, firmly fixing the light strip within the cavity, thereby providing stable lighting support for the tent.

[0029] Installation process

[0030] Prepare the top rod profile 1 and LED light strip 100.

[0031] Align one end of the LED light strip 100 with the opening of the cavity 11 of the top rod profile 1, so that the light strip is positioned between the two first limiting protrusions 12.

[0032] Along the length of the top rod profile 1, slowly insert the LED light strip 100 into the cavity 11 until the light strip is completely limited and fixed by the first limiting protrusion 12, thus completing the installation.

[0033] Disassembly process

[0034] Starting from one end of the LED strip, gently apply force to pull the LED strip 100 out of the cavity 11 of the top rod profile 1.

[0035] Taking advantage of the fact that the first limiting protrusion 12 does not exert strong restraint on the light strip, the light strip can be gradually pulled out between the two first limiting protrusions 12 to complete the disassembly, which facilitates the subsequent repair or replacement of the light strip.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this embodiment are as follows:

[0037] Easy installation: Eliminating the use of double-sided tape and glue, the LED light strip can be directly inserted and fixed by setting the first limiting protrusion on both sides of the top rod profile cavity, which greatly simplifies the installation process, reduces the technical requirements for installers, and improves installation efficiency.

[0038] High stability: The LED light strip is fixed by limiting protrusions, which avoids the problem of the light strip falling off due to the aging of double-sided tape, making the light strip more securely fixed on the tent pole and ensuring the normal use of the lighting system.

[0039] Easy maintenance: When the LED light strip needs to be repaired or replaced, simply remove the light strip from the limiting protrusion, saving a lot of time and effort and improving the maintainability of the tent lighting system.

[0040] In another preferred embodiment, symmetrical second limiting protrusions 13 are provided on both side walls of the cavity 11 below the first limiting protrusion 12, protruding inward and extending continuously along the length of the top rod profile 1. The transparent cover 2 covers the opening of the cavity 11 through hooks 21 on both sides that are adapted to the second limiting protrusions 13. The second limiting protrusions on both sides of the cavity below the first limiting protrusion, and the transparent cover covering the cavity opening through the adapted hooks, provide further protection for the light strip, effectively preventing dust and foreign objects from entering, ensuring the normal operation of the light strip, and extending its service life.

[0041] In another preferred embodiment, the transparent cover 2 is elastic. When the hook 21 is pressed into the second limiting protrusion 13, the hook 21 undergoes an outward elastic deformation, thereby creating a continuous pressing force on the second limiting protrusion 13. The elasticity of the transparent cover, combined with the elastic deformation and continuous pressing force generated when the hook is pressed into the second limiting protrusion, makes the cover installation more secure and less prone to falling off. It also ensures stable operation even in complex outdoor environments, guaranteeing the stability of the lighting system.

[0042] In another preferred embodiment, the hook 21 includes a hook handle 211 that abuts against the inner side of the second limiting protrusion 13 and a hook head 212 that abuts against the upper end face of the second limiting protrusion 13. The hook, composed of a hook handle abutting against the inner side of the second limiting protrusion and a hook head abutting against the upper end face, provides a tighter contact between the hook and the limiting protrusion, further enhancing the fixing effect of the transparent cover and improving the overall structural stability.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, in another preferred embodiment, the inner and / or outer surfaces of the transparent cover 2 are provided with a light-diffusing structure. The light-diffusing structure includes a plurality of prismatic protrusions 22 evenly distributed along its length. The height of each prismatic protrusion 22 is 0.5-1.5 mm, and the spacing between adjacent prismatic protrusions 22 is 1-2 mm. The light-diffusing structure on the inner and / or outer surfaces of the transparent cover, including the evenly distributed prismatic protrusions, effectively diffuses light, making the illumination more uniform and softer, avoiding localized overexposure or shadows, and improving the user's nighttime experience.

[0044] In another preferred embodiment, the lower surface of the transparent cover 2 is tangent to the lower end of the top pole profile 1. This tangency ensures the overall flatness and aesthetics of the tent, while reducing safety hazards caused by structural abruptness and minimizing scratches during use.

[0045] In another preferred embodiment, one or more partition walls 14 connecting the two side walls are provided inside the cavity 11. Providing one or more partition walls connecting the two side walls inside the cavity enhances the structural strength of the top rod profile, making it more robust and durable, less prone to deformation under external forces, and ensuring the stability of the light strip installation structure.

[0046] In another preferred embodiment, the distance between one of the partition walls 14 and the first limiting protrusion 12 is equal to or slightly less than the thickness of the LED light strip 100. This distance between the partition wall and the first limiting protrusion provides auxiliary positioning for the light strip, further preventing it from swaying or shifting within the cavity and ensuring stable illumination.

[0047] In another preferred embodiment, a through hole 15 is formed on the upper end face of the top rod profile 1, and a DC power socket is installed in the through hole 15. The DC power socket is connected to the LED light strip 100 through a wire. Forming a through hole and installing a DC power socket on the upper end face of the top rod profile, and connecting it to the LED light strip through a wire, facilitates external power supply, making power supply more convenient, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacements, and improving ease of use.

[0048] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

[0049] Any aspects of this utility model not described in detail are existing technology or common knowledge in the field.
