Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0028] like Figures 1-4As shown, a foldable tent with an overhang includes an umbrella-shaped support structure composed of several leg poles 10 and several support rods 20. Adjacent leg poles 10 are connected by a hinged folding structure. Each leg pole 10 has a top sleeve 30 at its top. The top sleeve 30 has oppositely arranged connecting holes 40 and connecting grooves 50. One end of the support rod 20 is disposed in the connecting groove 50 and hinged to the top sleeve 30. The top sleeve 30 also has a locking mechanism 60. The top sleeve 30 is detachably connected to an extension rod 70 through the connecting holes 40, and the locking mechanism 60 can detachably lock the position of the extension rod 70 in the connecting holes 40 to ensure that the extension rod 70 is fixed and stable during use. The function of the extension rod 70 is to guide the tent fabric to extend outward, expand the tent's coverage area, and improve rainwater drainage and sunshade effect.

[0029] In some embodiments (not shown), the extension pole 70 can be designed as a component with additional functions in addition to supporting the tent fabric. For example, the extension pole 70 can be designed as an adjustable-length telescopic pole to accommodate tents of different sizes, or it can be a hollow structure with cable channels or lighting equipment inside, enhancing the versatility of the tent.

[0030] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the locking mechanism 60 provides a detachable lock for the extension rod 70 via a latch or threaded mechanism. Specifically, the locking mechanism 60 includes a button 61 movably mounted on the top socket 30 and a latch. The latch is mounted on the button 61 and has a locking end that can extend into the connection hole 40. The button 61 is connected to the top socket 30 via a movable device, allowing the user to release or lock the latch by pressing the button 61, thereby enabling the disassembly or connection between the extension rod 70 and the top socket 30. The latch has a spring-loaded return function, ensuring that when the button 61 is not pressed, the latch automatically springs back and securely locks the extension rod 70, preventing loosening due to vibration or other factors in harsh environments. The locking end of the latch engages with the connection hole 40 of the extension rod 70, ensuring that the extension rod 70 is firmly fixed during use and avoiding the risk of accidental loosening. In some embodiments, the locking end of the latch can be designed as an adjustable position structure to accommodate extension rod 70 connection holes 40 of different sizes, thereby enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the locking mechanism 60, i.e., the extension rod 70 has multiple locking positions that mate with the locking end.

[0031] like Figures 1-2As shown, each leg 10 is slidably connected to the leg 10 via a sliding sleeve 80, which can slide up and down along the leg 10. The folding structure includes a scissor-type hinge frame 90, with both ends serving as connecting ends, each connected to a different leg 10. Each connecting end has two connectors, one hinged to the top sleeve 30 on the leg 10, and the other hinged to the sliding sleeve 80 on the leg 10. This structure allows the scissor-type hinge frame 90 to provide support and stability during folding, while ensuring the adjustability and flexibility of the tent structure. In the design of the sliding sleeve 80, a damping device or spring structure can be incorporated to make it slide more smoothly, reduce friction during use, and extend its service life.

[0032] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the support rod 20 is equipped with a secondary rod 21. One end of the secondary rod 21 is hinged to the support rod 20, and the other end is hinged to a sliding sleeve 80 on the leg rod 10. The design of the secondary rod 21 enhances the load-bearing capacity and stability of the support rod 20. Furthermore, during the setup or folding of the tent, the cooperation between the secondary rod 21 and the sliding sleeve 80 effectively controls the tension and stability of the tent frame, ensuring that the tent is not easily deformed or collapsed during use.

[0033] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the support structure also includes a first joint 22. The leg poles 10 and support poles 20 are arranged in a ring around the first joint 22, and each of the support poles 20 has a hinged end that is hinged to the first joint 22. An adjusting rod 23 is inserted through the first joint 22, and the adjusting rod 23 is slidably connected to the first joint 22 and can slide up and down. The bottom of the adjusting rod 23 is connected to a second joint 24, and the second joint 24 has a central rod 25 that is connected to each support pole 20. One end of the central rod 25 is rotatably connected to the second joint 24, and the other end is hinged to the support pole 20. Through this structure, the up and down sliding of the adjusting rod 23 can adjust the height and angle of the support poles 20, thereby changing the overall structure and size of the tent to adapt to different setup needs. The hinged connection between the central rod 25 and the support poles 20 can effectively distribute external pressure and maintain the stability of the tent.

[0034] Both the leg pole 10 and the extension pole 70 are telescopic sleeve structures. Each leg pole 10 and extension pole 70 consists of inner and outer tubes, with the inner tube extending and retracting within the outer tube to adjust its length and accommodate different setup needs. This telescopic sleeve design allows for convenient size adjustments during tent setup and takedown, saving storage space and enhancing convenience.

[0035] like Figures 1-3As shown, the support rod 20 includes a first section and a second section that are rotatably connected to each other. The first and second sections are connected by a hinge structure, allowing the support rod 20 to be adjusted in angle by rotation during setup, thus providing a more flexible support structure. Through this rotatable connection, the support rod 20 can effectively distribute external pressure at different angles, enhancing the stability of the tent.

[0036] In summary, as can be seen from the above description, this utility model achieves the following technical effects:

[0037] This solution provides a foldable tent with an overhang, whose support structure includes leg poles 10 and support rods 20. The top of the leg poles 10 is provided with a socket with a connecting hole 40 and a connecting groove 50. The support rod 20 is hinged to the connecting groove 50. The extension rod 70 is detachably installed through the connecting hole 40 and fixed by a locking pin or threaded locking mechanism 60. The sliding socket 80 on the leg poles 10 cooperates with the scissor-type hinge frame 90 to achieve folding. The support rod 20 is connected to the sliding socket 80 through the auxiliary rod 21 to adjust the tension. The adjusting rod 23 is linked with the center rod 25 to control the tilt angle of the tent fabric, forming a pointed roof structure to avoid water accumulation. Each rod adopts a telescopic or segmented design to reduce the folded volume.

[0038] The tarpaulin coverage area can be quickly expanded and locked reliably via the extension rod 70. The extension rod 70 can be easily and quickly disassembled and reassembled with strong stability, and the pointed top structure guides rainwater to slide off. The scissor-type hinge frame 90 and the sliding sleeve 80 work together to achieve compact folding, and the telescopic rod design further reduces the storage volume. The adjustment rod 23 controls the central rod 25 to adjust the tarpaulin tension and tilt angle, taking into account both rain protection function and portability.

[0039] This invention successfully addresses the shortcomings of existing tents in terms of portability, stability, and sun and rain protection through innovative support structure design, detachable extension pole 70, folding scissor hinge frame, and telescopic pole. The rapid expansion and locking function of the extension pole 70, the drainage design of the pointed roof structure, and the compactness of the folding structure enable this tent to provide a large usable area while possessing excellent portability, storage capacity, and stability. The overall structural adjustment mechanism not only improves ease of use but also ensures the reliability and safety of the tent under different weather conditions, meeting the needs of various outdoor activities. In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and is only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms 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 on the scope of protection of this utility model; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0040] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0041] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
