Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mechanical components technology, and in particular to a component for an adjustable-angle, portable automatic tent. Background Technology

[0002] As a core product in the outdoor equipment field, the rapid deployment and efficient take-down performance of automatic tents directly impacts user experience and market competitiveness. Existing technologies mostly employ flexible rod drives or linked hinge mechanisms to achieve automated opening and closing of tents. For example, they use spring-loaded support rods in conjunction with the folding fabric design, or utilize multi-axis hinges and the deformation characteristics of shape memory alloys to construct a self-locking frame.

[0003] While such technical solutions reduce the complexity of manual setup to some extent, they still have drawbacks in practical applications, including inconvenience in opening and closing. These include: structural interference issues: the elastic drive components (such as spring rods and hinge torsion springs) of existing automated tents do not match the folding path of the tent fabric with sufficient precision, causing the support poles to easily entangle with the tent fabric during the unfolding process, requiring manual intervention and adjustment, which significantly reduces automation efficiency; and insufficient control over the folding volume: most designs rely on multi-segment folding rods and redundant hinge points, resulting in bulky packaging and limited portability. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application provides a component for an adjustable-angle, portable automatic tent. This component can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise, and, in conjunction with hollow fiberglass poles or hollow aluminum alloy pole sections, enables the tent to be automatically deployed and conveniently stored, effectively overcoming the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0005] This application provides a component for an adjustable-angle, portable automatic tent, including an end cap, a fixed bushing, a fixing screw, and at least one set of rotating components. The end cap and the fixed bushing are coaxially arranged. One end of the fixing screw passes through the fixed bushing and the end cap until it is locked onto the end cap. The rotating components are sleeved on the fixed bushing, wherein:

[0006] The rotating assembly includes an outer ring and an inner ring. The inner ring is sleeved on a fixed bushing and can move axially along the fixed bushing but is restricted to rotate circumferentially along the fixed bushing. The outer ring is sleeved on the outer circumference of the inner ring and meshes with the outer ring so that the rotation of the outer ring can drive the inner ring to move axially along the fixed bushing.

[0007] The fixed bushing is also provided with a return spring;

[0008] Both the outer ring and the outer side wall of the end cap are provided with plug-in slots.

[0009] Preferably, the inner ring consists of an inner sleeve ring and an outer engagement ring, and the outer ring consists of an inner engagement ring and an outer cover ring, wherein:

[0011] Preferably, the inner sleeve has a plurality of rotation limiting grooves evenly distributed along its circumference on its inner sidewall, and the fixed bushing has a plurality of rotation limiting blocks evenly distributed along its circumference on its outer sidewall, which match the rotation limiting grooves. The rotation limiting effect of the rotation limiting grooves and the rotation limiting blocks restricts the inner ring from rotating around the fixed bushing.

[0012] Preferably, the rotating assembly is provided in three sets, and the three sets of rotating assemblies are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the fixed bushing, and adjacent sets of rotating assemblies are in contact with each other.

[0013] Preferably, the fixed bushing includes a fixed shaft and a bushing cover, wherein the fixed shaft is located at one end of the bushing cover and the two are arranged coaxially.

[0014] Preferably, the connector is positioned perpendicular to the outer ring tangentially.

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] First, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely for explaining the technical principles of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0043] Secondly, it should be noted that in the description of this application, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back", "inner", "outer", etc., which indicate the direction or positional relationship, are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0044] This application provides a component for an adjustable-angle, portable automatic tent. The component can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise, and in conjunction with a joint insert, enables the tent to be automatically deployed and stowed. The joint insert includes hollow fiberglass poles or hollow aluminum alloy poles, etc.

[0045] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the components include an end cap 1, a fixed bushing 2, a fixed screw 3, three sets of rotating components 4, and a return spring 5. The end cap 1, the three sets of rotating components 4, and the fixed bushing 2 are arranged in a straight line and are all aligned with the same central axis. One end of the fixed screw 3 passes through the fixed bushing 2 and the end cap 1 and extends out of the end cap 1. This extended end is fixed to the end cap 1 by a locking element 31. The three sets of rotating components 4 are all sleeved on the fixed bushing 2. The three sets of rotating components 4 are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the fixed bushing 2, and adjacent sets of rotating components 4 are in contact with each other. The fixed bushing 2 is also provided with a return spring 5. The locking element 31 is preferably a nut, which engages with the thread on the fixed screw 3 to achieve locking.

[0046] Furthermore, each of the three sets of rotating components 4 and the end cap 1 is equipped with a section plug socket 6, which is tangentially perpendicular to the outer ring 41. The section plug socket 6 is used to insert hollow fiberglass rods or hollow aluminum alloy rods, etc. The three sets of rotating components 4 can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise to drive the section plug socket 6 to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. At least two components are required for use. The two ends of the hollow fiberglass rods or hollow aluminum alloy rods are fixed to the components that can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise, respectively. The section plugs are inserted into the section plug socket 6 and can rotate around the components to form a tent support frame. When storing, the section plugs are pulled out of the section plug socket 6 of the components, and the section plug rods at both ends rotate around the components to be stored in a row, and then folded in half to save space and make it easy to carry.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, each set of rotating components 4 includes an outer ring 41 and an inner ring 42. The inner ring 42 is sleeved on the fixed bushing 2 and can move axially along the fixed bushing 2 but is restricted to rotate circumferentially along the fixed bushing 2. The return spring 5 is used to control the movement and return of the inner ring 42. The outer ring 41 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the inner ring 42 and meshes with the outer ring 41 so that the rotation of the outer ring 41 can push the inner ring 42 to move axially along the fixed bushing 2.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the inner ring 42 consists of an inner sleeve ring 421 and an outer engagement ring 422, and the outer ring 41 consists of an inner engagement ring 411 and an outer cover ring 412. Specifically, the inner sleeve ring 421 has several rotation limiting grooves (not shown in the figure) evenly distributed along its circumference on its inner sidewall, and the fixed bushing 2 has several rotation limiting blocks (not shown in the figure) evenly distributed along its circumference on its outer sidewall, matching the rotation limiting grooves. The rotation limiting effect of the rotation limiting grooves and the rotation limiting blocks restricts the inner ring 42 from rotating around the fixed bushing 2.

[0049] Specifically, the inner sleeve ring 421 is fitted around the outer periphery of the fixed bushing 2, and the outer engagement ring 422 is located around the outer periphery of the inner sleeve ring 421. One end face of the outer engagement ring 422 is engaged with one end face of the inner engagement ring 411 via meshing teeth. The outer cover ring 412 is located around the outer periphery of the outer engagement ring 422. Preferably, the inner sleeve ring 421 and the outer engagement ring 422 are integral structures, and the inner engagement ring 411 and the outer cover ring 412 are also integral structures.

[0050] For example, when the outer ring 41 rotates, the inner engagement ring 411 on it is connected to the outer engagement ring 422 on the inner ring 42 by meshing teeth. The inner ring 42 is pushed to move axially along the fixed bushing 2, and the outer ring 41 rotates circumferentially along the fixed bushing 2. During the process, the return spring 5 is squeezed. When the rotation reaches the required angle, the return spring 5 is reset, and the position of the rotating assembly 4 is locked.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the fixed bushing 2 includes a fixed shaft 21 and a bushing 22. The fixed shaft 21 is located at one end of the bushing 22, and the two are arranged coaxially. Preferably, the fixed shaft 21 and the bushing 22 are an integral structure. The rotating component 4 and the return spring 5 are both sleeved on the outside of the fixed shaft 21, and the bushing 22 and the end cover 1 cooperate to form the front and rear covers of the component.

[0052] In one specific embodiment, to maintain the overall aesthetics of the components, the outer diameters of the end cap 1, the outer ring 41, and the shaft cap 22 are preferably equal.

[0053] Specifically, the connector socket 6 is also provided with a connector fastener 7. The connector fastener 7 is a self-tapping screw. A screw hole identical to the socket is opened on one side wall of the connector socket 6. The self-tapping screw is tightened through the screw hole to secure the connector inserted into the connector socket 6, thereby fixing the connector.

[0054] Specifically, the end of the fixing screw 3 away from the end cover 1 is provided with a tensioning port 32. The tensioning port 32 is used for the rod connection between two mating components.

[0055] The adjustable-angle, portable component for automatic tents in this embodiment is applied to the working principle of automatic tents as follows:

[0056] like Figure 6 As shown, during assembly, the hollow fiberglass rod of the joint insert passes through the tent's outer sleeve, and the two ends of the fiberglass rod are inserted into the joint insert slot 6 of the component in sequence and fixed with self-tapping screws. Take a pull rope and connect it to the tensioning port 32 of the two components respectively to tighten the left and right ends. The fiberglass rod will then bend to support the tent. Rotate the angle of the fiberglass rod to make the tent into the designed shape.

[0057] When storing, first untie the pull ropes at both ends of the component, separate and fold the fiberglass rod from the insertion port 6 of the section, rotate the fiberglass rod fixed on the component into a row, fold it left and right, and then tie it to successfully store it.

[0058] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
