[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding structures, and in particular to a folding tent. Background Technology

[0002] Folding tents are a popular outdoor camping equipment that is easy to set up and take down. However, most existing folding tents have a fixed structure or a complex structure. When used, the overall fixed structure is not very stable after the tent is unfolded and set up, and the operation and disassembly are cumbersome. When folded up, they are also bulky and take up a lot of space.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need to provide a folding tent to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application discloses a folding tent, comprising a central component and tent legs hinged to the outer periphery of the central component, characterized in that: the tent legs are folding supports, and the folding supports include an upper pole, a middle pole, a lower pole, and a connecting pole;

[0005] One end of the upper rod is hinged to the central member, and the other end of the upper rod is first hinged to the middle rod at a first hinge point, and then the end of the upper rod is hinged to the connecting rod at a second hinge point. The middle rod is not connected to the end of the upper rod and is hinged to the end of the lower rod at a third hinge point. The connecting rod is not connected to the end of the upper rod and is hinged to the lower rod at a fourth hinge point. The first hinge point and the second hinge point are spaced apart, and the third hinge point and the fourth hinge point are spaced apart.

[0006] The hinged end of the middle rod and the lower rod also includes a locking structure. When the folding bracket is unfolded, the locking structure limits and fixes the middle rod so that the hinged end of the connecting rod and the upper rod, in conjunction with the limiting position of the middle rod, forms a triangular fixed support structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the middle rod and the upper rod are hinged together by a first hinge axis, the connecting rod and the upper rod are hinged together by a second hinge axis, the connecting rod and the lower rod are hinged together by a third hinge axis, and the middle rod and the lower rod are hinged together by a fourth hinge axis. When the folding bracket is unfolded, the upper rod, the middle rod, the lower rod, and the connecting rod, together with the locking structure, form a roughly triangular limiting support structure, so that the middle rod can be limited to the target angle after rotating and opening around the hinge point or hinge axis with the upper rod.

[0008] The connecting rod and the upper rod hinge end are provided with a curved part. When the folding bracket is unfolded, the locking structure limits and fixes the middle rod so that the connecting rod and its curved part and the upper rod hinge one end of the middle rod cooperate with the middle rod to form a triangular fixed support structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the tent feet or the folding brackets are in four groups, and are symmetrically arranged in pairs on the outer periphery of the central component;

[0012] Furthermore, multiple sets of the tent feet are spaced apart and arranged in a ring around the outer periphery of the central member.

[0013] Furthermore, the upper rod also includes a first upper rod and a second upper rod. One end of the first upper rod is hinged to the central member, and the other end is hinged to the second upper rod. The other end of the second upper rod is hinged to the middle rod and the connecting rod, so that the folding bracket can be folded into a "W" shape and stored after being folded.

[0014] Furthermore, a limiting member is provided at the hinge joint between the upper rod and the middle rod, and a limiting groove is formed on the limiting member. The axial direction of the limiting groove is at a target angle with the axial direction of the middle rod. When the folding bracket is unfolded, the upper rod rotates around the first hinge point to be limited and fixed in the limiting groove.

[0015] Furthermore, the locking structure is provided at the hinge joint between the middle rod and the lower rod. The locking structure has a slot that can accommodate one end of the middle rod. When the folding bracket is fully unfolded, the middle rod rotates around the third hinge point to be locked in the slot, so that the middle rod remains aligned with the axial direction of the lower rod after it is fixed.

[0016] Furthermore, the locking structure also includes a locking part, which is disposed on the card slot wall, and a corresponding fixing part that cooperates with the locking part is provided on the middle rod.

[0017] Furthermore, a support base is provided on the bottom of the lower rod.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes tent fabric that folds together with the folding bracket. The folding bracket is provided on the side of the tent fabric that is in contact with the external environment and can be folded along the hinge point with the folding bracket. When unfolded, the folding bracket is used to support and fix the tent fabric.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0036] The term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. Moreover, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1-8As shown, a folding tent includes a central component 1 and tent legs 2 hinged to the outer periphery of the central component 1. It can be understood that the tent legs 2 can be folding supports 2. The folding supports 2 include, from top to bottom, an upper pole 21, a middle pole 22, a lower pole 23, and a connecting rod 24. One end of the upper pole 21 is hinged to the central component 1, meaning the upper pole 21 can be folded and retracted to a limited extent around the outer periphery of the central component 1. Simultaneously, the other end of the upper pole 21 is first hinged to the middle pole 22 at a first hinge point 211, and then the end of the upper pole 21 is connected to the connecting rod 24. 4 is hinged at the second hinge point 212. It can be understood that the first hinge point 211 is similar to the fulcrum of a lever, and the second hinge point 212 is located at the tail end of the upper rod 21 at the non-fulcrum end; the middle rod 22 is hinged at the end of the lower rod 23 to the end of the upper rod 21 at the third hinge point 231, and the connecting rod 24 is hinged at the end of the lower rod 23 to the end of the upper rod 21 at the fourth hinge point 232. The first hinge point 211 and the second hinge point 212 are set alternately, and the third hinge point 231 and the fourth hinge point 232 are set alternately. Understandably, the hinged end of the middle rod 22 and the lower rod 23 also includes a locking structure 25. When the folding bracket 2 is unfolded, the locking structure 25 limits and fixes the middle rod 22, so that the connecting rod 24 and the upper rod 21 are hinged together, and one end of the middle rod 22 cooperates with the middle rod 22 to form a triangular fixed support structure. Among them, the connecting rod 24 is one support side of the triangle, the section of the upper rod between the first hinge point and the second hinge point becomes another support side, and the middle rod 22 is the third support side forming the triangle. Among them, the central component 1 can adopt an existing structure, which can realize that the tent feet 2 (folding bracket 2) in this embodiment can be uniformly folded downward or upward around the hinge and can be limited and opened in the open state. This can enhance the stability of the tent when it is opened and ensure the safety of the user. It will not be elaborated here. The above structural improvements enhance the overall stability of the support frame after it is unfolded and locked, and also make it easier to fold and unfold. The overall structure is simple and beautiful after unfolding. In particular, the design of a folding bracket 2 formed by the interlocking of multiple support rods minimizes the storage volume and provides better technical effects such as easy carrying and transportation.

[0038] Based on the above technical solution, the middle rod 22 and the upper rod 21 can optionally be hinged through the first hinge shaft 211, the connecting rod 24 and the upper rod 21 can be hinged through the second hinge shaft 212, the connecting rod 24 and the lower rod 23 can be hinged through the third hinge shaft 231, and the middle rod 22 and the lower rod 23 can be hinged through the fourth hinge shaft 232. When the folding bracket 2 is unfolded, the upper rod 21, the middle rod 22, the lower rod 23 and the connecting rod 24 cooperate with the locking structure 25 to form a roughly triangular limiting support structure, so that the middle rod 22 can be rotated around its hinge point or hinge shaft with the upper rod 21 and then limited to the target angle to form a tent support frame.

[0039] Furthermore, in optional embodiments, as shown in the appendix Figure 1 and 2As shown, the connecting rod 24 and the upper rod 21 are hinged at the end with a bent portion 241. When the folding bracket 2 is unfolded, the locking structure 25 limits and fixes the middle rod 22, so that the connecting rod 24 and its bent portion 241 and the upper rod 21 hinge to the middle rod 22 form a triangular fixed support structure. It can be understood that the bent portion 241 can be a bend or an arc bend, used to hinge the two ends of the bent portion 241 to the upper rod and the connecting rod to form two sides of a triangle.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the tent feet 2 or folding brackets 2 are preferably in four sets, symmetrically arranged in pairs on the outer periphery of the central component 1. This not only provides a simple and practical structure but also offers good tent-opening stability. Specifically, it also includes auxiliary support rods 3, one end of which is hinged to the outer periphery of the central component 1. The auxiliary support rods 3 are preferably in four sets, each positioned between two folding brackets 2. The auxiliary support rods 3 can be used to provide better support for the tent top.

[0041] For the same purpose, multiple sets of tent feet 2 can be arranged in a ring around the outer periphery of the central component 1, and corresponding auxiliary support poles 3 can also be arranged in multiple sets at intervals around the outer periphery of the central component 1.

[0042] For ease of folding and storage, in a preferred embodiment, the upper pole 21 further includes a first upper pole 213 and a second upper pole 214. One end of the first upper pole 213 is hinged to the center member 1, and the other end is hinged to the second upper pole 214. The other end of the second upper pole 214 is hinged to the middle pole 22 and the connecting rod 24, allowing the folding bracket 2 to be folded into a "W" shape for storage. This design enables the tent leg 2 or the folding bracket 2 to achieve better space saving, i.e., reducing the volume after folding, after four folds. In this way, it is more aesthetically pleasing and simple after folding, and the overall volume is smaller, making it easier to fold and carry.

[0043] Furthermore, a limiting member 221 is provided at the hinge joint between the upper pole 21 and the middle pole 22. A limiting groove 2211 is provided on the limiting member 221. The axial direction of the limiting groove 2211 is at a target angle with the axial direction of the middle pole 22. When the folding bracket 2 is unfolded, the upper pole 21 rotates around the first hinge point 211 and is fixed in the limiting groove 2211. In this way, the stability of the upper pole 21 and the middle pole 22 can be improved when the tent is unfolded.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the aforementioned locking structure 25 is provided at the hinge joint between the middle rod 22 and the lower rod 23. The locking structure 25 is provided with a slot 251 that can accommodate one end of the middle rod 22. When the folding bracket 2 is fully unfolded, the middle rod 22 rotates around the third hinge point 231 to be locked in the slot 251, so that the middle rod 22 remains axially aligned with the lower rod 23 after being fixed. This can be understood as ensuring that the middle rod 22 and the lower rod 23 are connected as a straight rod to provide stable support. The slot 251 and the middle rod 22 cooperate to improve the stability after fixing.

[0045] Furthermore, the locking structure 25 also includes a locking part 252, which is disposed on the wall of the slot 251, and a corresponding fixing part 222 that cooperates with the locking part 252 is provided on the middle rod 22.

[0046] Based on this, a support base 4 is provided on the bottom of the lower pole 23. When the tent frame is opened, the support base 4 can be used to connect other parts of the tent, and at the same time play a role in preventing slippage and stabilizing.

[0047] Of course, this application also includes tent fabric 4 that is folded together with the folding bracket 2. Optionally, the folding bracket 2 is provided on the side of the tent fabric 4 that is in contact with the external environment and can be folded along the hinge point with the folding bracket 2. After the folding bracket 2 is unfolded, it is used to support and fix the tent fabric 4.

[0048] The folding tent provided in this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0049] 1. This application improves the stability of the tent by modifying its structure. The tent is easy to set up and take down, and its overall structure is stable, practical, simple and beautiful.

[0050] 2. The four-fold folding stand design minimizes storage volume, making it easy to carry and transport, and improving the user experience.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of this application, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
