Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tent frame technology, and in particular to a tent frame stabilization device. Background Technology

[0002] In today's society, with the improvement of people's living standards and the pursuit of outdoor living experiences, outdoor activities such as camping and wilderness exploration are becoming increasingly popular. As an indispensable temporary shelter in outdoor activities, the stability of tents directly affects the safety and comfort of users. However, existing tent frames have many problems with stability, which not only affect the user experience but may also threaten the user's life in extreme weather conditions.

[0003] From a usage perspective, campsites are diverse, including mountains, beaches, and grasslands with varying terrains. When camping in mountains, the uneven terrain requires tents to adapt to the sloping ground, placing high demands on the stability of the tent frame. Traditional tent frames struggle to ensure even stress distribution across all support points in such terrain, easily leading to localized overload causing the tent to tilt or even collapse. The beach environment is even more complex, with strong and persistent sea winds. Traditional tent frames are ill-suited to withstand these strong winds. The wind causes the tent canvas to sway dramatically, pulling on the tent frame. With frequent pulling, ordinary tent frames are prone to loosening at joints, significantly reducing stability. While grasslands are relatively flat, strong winds are common, and traditional tent frames again fail to provide reliable stability in such conditions.

[0004] In terms of existing tent frame structural design, most traditional tent frames adopt a simple frame structure, mainly relying on uprights and crossbars for construction. This structure requires a high level of experience from the builder during setup; improper construction can severely affect the tent's stability. Furthermore, its stability largely depends on the ground pegs and guy lines being firmly anchored to the ground. However, in actual use, ground pegs are often not securely fixed due to the ground material; for example, they are less effective on sand or frozen ground. Even if the ground pegs are properly secured, the guy lines are prone to aging and breakage under prolonged exposure to wind and sun. Once the guy lines fail, the stability of the tent frame will be greatly compromised.

[0005] Furthermore, as tent sizes continue to increase to accommodate multiple users or provide more spacious living areas, the stability issues of traditional tent frames have become increasingly prominent. Larger tents need to withstand greater canvas weight and wind force, and traditional structures are ill-equipped to handle these external forces. The strength and stability of their support structures have not been correspondingly improved, leading to increased safety hazards in the actual use of larger tents.

[0006] In extreme weather conditions, the limitations of traditional tent frames become glaringly apparent. During heavy rain, water accumulates on the tent canvas, increasing the tent's weight and posing a significant challenge to the load-bearing capacity of the tent frame. Traditional tent frames may deform under this weight, further compromising the tent's stability. In strong winds, the wind force on the tent increases exponentially, and traditional tent frames, lacking effective stabilization measures, are easily blown over.

[0007] In summary, existing tent frames have many shortcomings in terms of stability, making it difficult to meet the growing demand for outdoor activities. Therefore, developing a new tent frame stabilization device to improve the stability and safety of tents has become an important issue that urgently needs to be addressed in the field of outdoor equipment. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this utility model is to address the deficiencies in the existing technology by proposing a stabilizing device for a tent frame.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] A stabilizing device for a tent frame includes a tent frame body and uprights disposed at the corners of the tent frame body. A main beam is fixedly installed at the middle position of the tent frame body, and a top beam is inserted into the main beam. Multiple branch cables are installed in the main beam, and the ends of the branch cables are connected to the uprights. The device also includes:

[0011] A stabilizing component, which is disposed in the top beam, is used to provide tension to the branch cables when the tent frame is deployed;

[0012] A branch component, wherein the branch mechanism is disposed in the main beam, is used to cause the top beam to move downward in the main beam when the top beam is subjected to a downward tensile force.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the stabilizing component includes a connector fixedly installed in the top beam rod, and a tension spring is fixedly connected to the outside of the connector. A hook is fixedly connected to the end of the tension spring. A stabilizing cable component is provided below the hook. The top end of the stabilizing cable component is located in the top beam rod, and the bottom end of the stabilizing cable component is located in the main beam rod. A ring buckle is fixedly connected to the top end of the stabilizing cable component, and the ring buckle and the hook buckle are hooked together. The bottom end of the stabilizing cable component is connected to the branch cable. The stabilizing cable component is made of high-strength fiber material, and a wear-resistant protective sleeve is fitted on the outside of the stabilizing cable component.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the branch component includes a branch seat that is sleeved in the main beam rod. The top end of the branch seat is fixedly installed in the main beam rod by bolts, and a spring retainer is fixedly installed on the top end of the branch seat. A limit spring is provided in the main beam rod. The bottom end of the limit spring is engaged with the spring retainer, and the top end of the limit spring is in contact with the bottom end of the top beam rod. A branch groove is provided on the branch seat, and the branch cable is located in the branch groove.

[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model: the bottom end of the branch seat is also provided with a pull index groove that matches the branch groove, and the branch pull cable passes through the pull index groove.

[0016] As a further improvement of this utility model, the inner wall of the pull-out groove is provided with a lubricating layer.

[0017] As a further improvement of this utility model: a hook is fixedly installed at the end of the branch cable, and a hanging ring is fixedly installed on the outside of the column, with the hook attached to the hanging ring.

[0018] As a further improvement of this utility model, the opening of the hook is provided with an anti-detachment buckle.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This utility model provides a stabilizing device for a tent frame. When the tent frame is opened, the uprights in the tent frame unfold to the four corners, which in turn pull the branch cables outwards. At this time, the stabilizing component in the top beam exerts an upward pulling force on the branch cables, while simultaneously causing the top beam to be subjected to a downward pulling force, thus moving the top beam downwards within the main beam. The top beam, positioned above the tent frame, is lowered by the weight of the tent canvas and the pulling force between the stabilizing component and the four uprights. A lower center of gravity results in a larger support surface, greater stability, and stronger overall stability. Furthermore, the stabilizing component provides tension to the branch cables when the tent frame is opened, making the entire tent frame more stable under force, better able to resist external forces, and with a longer service life. Compared to ordinary tent frames, it offers superior performance. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] like Figures 1-7 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a tent frame stabilization device, including a tent frame body and uprights 18 disposed at the four corners of the tent frame body. A main beam 4 is fixedly installed at the middle position of the tent frame body, and a top beam 3 is inserted into the main beam 4. Multiple branch cables 9 are installed in the main beam 4. In this embodiment, there are four sets of branch cables 9. The ends of the branch cables 9 are connected to the uprights 18. The device also includes: a stabilizing member 1, which is disposed in the top beam 3 and is used to provide tension to the branch cables 9 when the tent frame body is opened; and a branch member 2, which is disposed in the main beam 4 and is used to cause the top beam 3 to move downward in the main beam 4 when the top beam 3 is subjected to downward tension.

[0031] When the tent frame is opened, the uprights 18 in the tent frame unfold to the four corners, which in turn pull the branch cables 9 outwards. At this time, the stabilizing component 1 in the top beam 3 exerts an upward pulling force on the branch cables 9, while simultaneously causing the top beam 3 to be subjected to a downward pulling force, and causing the top beam 3 to move downwards in the main beam 4. At this time, the top beam 3, located above the tent frame, is subjected to the weight of the tent canvas and the pulling force between the stabilizing component and the four uprights 18, making the center of gravity of the entire tent lower. The lower the center of gravity, the larger the support surface, the greater the stability of the object, and the stronger the stability. At the same time, the stabilizing component 1 provides tension to the branch cables 9 when the tent frame is opened, making the entire tent frame more stable under the action of force, better able to resist external forces, and with a longer service life. Compared with ordinary tent frames, it has a better performance.

[0032] As an embodiment of this utility model, the stabilizing component 1 includes a connector 16 fixedly installed in the top beam 3, and a tension spring 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connector 16. A hook 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the tension spring 5. A stabilizing cable component 7 is provided below the hook 6. The top end of the stabilizing cable component 7 is located in the top beam 3, and the bottom end of the stabilizing cable component 7 is located in the main beam 4. A loop 8 is fixedly connected to the top end of the stabilizing cable component 7, and the loop 8 and the hook 6 are hooked together. The bottom end of the stabilizing cable component 7 is connected to the branch cable 9. When the tent frame is opened and the upright 18 moves outward, the upright 18 will pull the branch cable 9. The branch cable 9 pulls the tension spring 5 below the connector 16 through the stabilizing cable component 7 and the hook 6, so that the tension spring 5 is in a stretched state, which can provide tension to the branch cable 9.

[0033] As one embodiment of this utility model, the stabilizing cable component 7 is made of high-strength fiber material, making it safer to use.

[0034] As one embodiment of this utility model, the outer side of the stabilizing cable component 7 is fitted with a wear-resistant protective sleeve, which can improve the wear resistance of the stabilizing cable component 7 and extend its service life.

[0035] As an embodiment of this utility model, the branch component 2 includes a branch seat 12 that is sleeved in the main beam rod 4. The top end of the branch seat 12 is fixedly installed in the main beam rod 4 by bolts 17, and a spring retainer 13 is fixedly installed on the top end of the branch seat 12. A limit spring 11 is provided in the main beam rod 4. The bottom end of the limit spring 11 is engaged with the spring retainer 13, and the top end of the limit spring 11 is in contact with the bottom end of the top beam rod 3. When the stabilizing component 1 exerts a downward pulling force on the top beam rod 3, it will cause the top beam rod 3 to move downward in the main beam rod 4, and the limit spring 11 will be compressed. The tension spring 5 in the stabilizing component and the limit spring 11 in the branch component 2 interact under the action of the tension force, which can withstand a larger load, and the degree of compression under the load is different, which can further improve the stability of the equipment.

[0036] As an embodiment of this utility model, the branch seat 12 is provided with a branch groove 14. In this embodiment, there are four branch grooves 14. The branch cable 9 is located in the branch groove 14. The branch groove 14 can separate the branch cables 9, which can prevent the branch cables 9 from getting tangled and improve the performance.

[0037] As an embodiment of this utility model, the bottom end of the branch seat 12 is also provided with a pull index groove 15 that matches the branch groove 14, and the branch pull cable 9 passes through the pull index groove 15. Under the action of the pull index groove 15, the branch pull cable 9 can be guided towards the column 18, resulting in better performance.

[0038] As an embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the pull index groove 15 is provided with a lubricating layer. When the branch cable 9 moves in the pull index groove 15, the lubricating layer can effectively reduce the wear between the branch cable 9 and the pull index groove 15, resulting in better performance.

[0039] As one embodiment of this utility model, a hook 10 is fixedly installed at the end of the branch cable 9, and a hanging ring is fixedly installed on the outside of the column 18. The hook 10 is hooked onto the hanging ring, and the branch cable 9 and the column 18 are connected by the hook 10, which makes it easier to disassemble the branch cable 9 and the column 18 and improves the performance.

[0040] As one embodiment of this utility model, the opening of the hook 10 is provided with an anti-detachment buckle, which effectively prevents the hook 10 from detaching from the hanging ring, making it safer to use.

[0041] When the tent frame is opened, the uprights 18 in the tent frame unfold to the four corners, which in turn pull the branch cables 9 outwards. At this time, the stabilizing component 1 in the top beam 3 exerts an upward pulling force on the branch cables 9, while simultaneously causing the top beam 3 to be subjected to a downward pulling force, and causing the top beam 3 to move downwards in the main beam 4. At this time, the top beam 3, located above the tent frame, is subjected to the weight of the tent canvas and the pulling force between the stabilizing component and the four uprights 18, making the center of gravity of the entire tent lower. The lower the center of gravity, the larger the support surface, the greater the stability of the object, and the stronger the stability. At the same time, the stabilizing component 1 provides tension to the branch cables 9 when the tent frame is opened, making the entire tent frame more stable under the action of force, better able to resist external forces, and with a longer service life. Compared with ordinary tent frames, it has a better performance.

[0042] It should be noted that although this specification describes the embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This way of describing the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
