Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of folding tent technology, specifically referring to a folding tent. Background Technology

[0002] Folding tents are used for outdoor activities to provide shade and rain protection. They typically have a folding and storage structure, are lightweight and durable, and are easy to carry. These are the existing types of folding tents.

[0003] For example, a folding tent disclosed in publication number CN218715663U improves the overall strength of the tent by setting up diagonal bracing, ensuring structural strength even in strong winds and improving stability during use.

[0004] However, the method of using diagonal bracing for fixed connection means that solid rods cannot be used to reduce weight, which makes the structure prone to breakage in strong winds. In addition, the entire roof structure is rigidly connected, which cannot release force when encountering wind, resulting in poor stability. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a folding tent, which effectively solves the problem that the existing folding tents adopt a rigid connection structure for the roof, which cannot release force when the wind is strong, resulting in poor stability and easy breakage.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This utility model proposes a folding tent, including several telescopic pillars and a folding canopy at the upper end. The upper end of the telescopic pillar is pluggably connected to a hinge top. A semicircle integrally injection molded with the hinge top is fixed on the right-angled inner wall of the hinge top. At the same time, a lifting and fixing component is slidably connected to the side wall of the telescopic pillar, and the lifting and fixing component is sleeved on the telescopic pillar. The folding canopy includes a folding assembly disposed between adjacent telescopic pillars, and the folding assembly is disposed on the lifting and fixing component. A telescopic top rod is connected to the folding assembly, and a stress-relieving spring is sleeved at the bottom of the telescopic top rod. A top connecting plate perpendicular to the telescopic top rod is fixed at the upper end of the telescopic top rod, and several arc-shaped through holes are evenly distributed along the circumference of the top connecting plate. The top connecting plate and the hinge top are connected by a windproof rope.

[0007] As an improvement to this solution, both ends of the windproof rope are provided with metal buckles, and the two metal buckles are respectively engaged with the arc-shaped through hole of the top connecting plate and the semicircle of the hinge top.

[0008] As an improvement to this solution, the folding assembly includes several scissor bars composed of two centrally symmetrical folding rods, with the middle of the two folding rods being rotatably hinged. Two scissor bars are provided between adjacent telescopic support columns, and the ends of the two scissor bars that are close to each other are connected by a T-joint connector. The folding rod ends of the other ends of the scissor bars are rotatably connected to the hinge top and the lifting fixing component, respectively, and the end of the T-joint connector that is close to the telescopic top rod is also rotatably connected to a scissor bar.

[0009] As an improvement to this solution, a lower four-way connector is fixed at the bottom of the extended end of the telescopic top rod, and an upper four-way connector is provided above it. The upper four-way connector is fixed to the bottom of the side wall of the fixed end of the telescopic top rod. At the same time, the lower four-way connector and the upper four-way connector are connected to the three-way connector through the scissor bar, and the lower four-way connector and the upper four-way connector are rotatably connected to the scissor bar.

[0010] As an improvement to this solution, the unloading spring is located between the upper four-way connector and the lower four-way connector, and a fixed base is plugged into the bottom of the extended end of the telescopic support.

[0011] As an improvement to this solution, the bottom of the lifting fixing component is provided with a limiting slot perpendicular to the telescopic support column. A pressing spring is inserted and connected to the end of the limiting slot away from the telescopic support column. A fixing pin is inserted and connected to the side wall of the telescopic support column. Springs are provided between the inner wall of the limiting slot and the pressing spring, and between the fixing pin and the inner wall of the telescopic support column.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model by adopting the above structure are as follows:

[0013] 1. The roof structure uses windproof ropes instead of diagonal braces, and the hinged roof has a semicircle inside to fix the windproof ropes. This reduces weight while ensuring stable connection and preventing breakage.

[0014] 2. By sleeved with a spring on the outside of the top rod, the upper four-way connector and the lower four-way connector can dissipate force while moving relative to each other under the action of wind, thereby improving the overall stability;

[0015] 3. Using lifting limit components and lifting fixing parts, the folding tent can be completely stored with a simple pressing action, making it simple to operate and convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. 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 protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention proposes a folding tent, which includes several telescopic pillars 1 and a folding canopy at the upper end of the pillars. The upper end of the telescopic pillars 1 is pluggably connected to a hinge 2. A semicircle integrally injection molded with the hinge 2 is fixed on the right-angled inner wall of the hinge 2. At the same time, a lifting fixing component 3 is slidably connected to the side wall of the telescopic pillars 1 and is sleeved on the telescopic pillars 1. The folding canopy includes a folding assembly 4 disposed between adjacent telescopic pillars 1 and is disposed on the lifting fixing component 3. A telescopic top rod 5 is connected to the folding assembly 4 and a stress relief spring 6 is sleeved at the bottom of the telescopic top rod 5.

[0025] The movement of the lifting fixing part 3 along the extension direction of the telescopic support 1 causes the folding component 4 connected to it to unfold and retract.

[0026] like Figure 1As shown, a top connecting plate 7 perpendicular to the telescopic top rod 5 is fixed at the upper end of the telescopic top rod 5, and the top connecting plate 7 has several arc-shaped through holes evenly distributed along the circumference. The top connecting plate 7 and the hinge top 2 are connected by a windproof rope 8. Both ends of the windproof rope 8 are provided with metal buckles, and the two metal buckles are respectively engaged with the arc-shaped through holes of the top connecting plate 7 and the semicircle of the hinge top 2.

[0027] By connecting the top connecting plate 7 on the telescopic top rod 5 to the hinge top 2 at the upper end of the telescopic support column 1 with the windproof rope 8, the folding roof and the telescopic support column 1 are integrated into one unit, reducing the overall weight while ensuring stability.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to realize the linkage between the components of the folding canopy, the folding assembly 4 includes several scissor bars 10 composed of two centrally symmetrical folding rods, and the middle part of the two folding rods is rotatably hinged. Two scissor bars 10 are provided between adjacent telescopic support columns 1. The ends of the two scissor bars 10 that are close to each other are connected by a three-way connector 9. The folding rod ends of the other end of the scissor bars 10 are rotatably connected to the hinge top 2 and the lifting fixing component 3, respectively. The end of the three-way connector 9 that is close to the telescopic top rod 5 is also rotatably connected to a scissor bar 10.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a lower four-way connector 12 is fixed at the bottom of the extended end of the telescopic top rod 5, and an upper four-way connector 11 is provided above it. The upper four-way connector 11 is fixed to the bottom of the side wall of the fixed end of the telescopic top rod 5. At the same time, the lower four-way connector 12 and the upper four-way connector 11 are connected to the three-way connector 9 through the scissor bar 10, and the lower four-way connector 12 and the upper four-way connector 11 are rotatably connected to the scissor bar 10. The unloading spring 6 is located between the upper four-way connector 11 and the lower four-way connector 12. A fixed base 13 is plugged into the bottom of the extended end of the telescopic support column 1.

[0030] The unloading spring 6 can counteract the tendency of movement between the upper four-way connector 11 and the lower four-way connector 12, thereby making the folding canopy more stable.

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the lifting fixing component 3 is provided with a limiting slot 14 perpendicular to the telescopic support column 1. A pressing spring block 15 is inserted and connected to one end of the limiting slot 14 away from the telescopic support column 1. A fixing pin 16 is inserted and connected to the side wall of the telescopic support column 1. Springs are provided between the inner wall of the limiting slot 14 and the pressing spring block 15, and between the fixing pin 16 and the inner wall of the telescopic support column 1.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] In use, the entire tent is fixed to the ground using the fixed base 13. Then, the lifting fixing component 3 is pushed upward along the telescopic support 1. During this process, the fixing pin 16 is pressed into the telescopic support 1 through the arc-shaped guide groove on the inner wall of the upper end of the lifting fixing component 3. After passing the fixing pin 16 at the bottom of the lifting fixing component 3, the fixing pin 16 is ejected by a spring and inserted into the limiting slot 14 to complete the fixation. At this time, the scissor arms 10 connected to the lifting fixing component 3 are rotated, and the three-way connector 9, the upper four-way connector 11, and the lower four-way connector 1 are used to... 2. Achieve linkage, thereby opening the entire folding tent roof. Then, use the buckles to fix the two ends of the windproof rope 8 to the top connecting plate 7 and the hinge top 2 to complete the installation. After that, cover the outside of the folding tent roof with the tent cloth to complete the installation. After installation, use the relative displacement of the fixed end and the extended end of the telescopic top rod 5 to reduce the distance between the lower four-way connector 12 and the upper four-way connector 11 at the bottom of its side wall. At the same time, the stress relief spring 6 is compressed and prevents the lower four-way connector 12 and the upper four-way connector 11 from getting close, thereby achieving stress relief and improving the stability of the tent.

[0034] Example 2;

[0035] Referring to the unloading spring 6, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that: two sets of telescopic top rods 5 are provided between the four sets of telescopic support columns 1. The lower four-way connector 12 and the upper four-way connector 11 on the two sets of telescopic top rods 5 are connected to each other through scissor rods 10 to achieve linkage. The top connecting plate 7 at the top of the two sets of telescopic top rods 5 are respectively connected to the two sets of hinged tops 2 on their corresponding sides through two sets of windproof ropes 8, thereby increasing the area of ​​the entire canopy. Compared with Embodiment 1, the area of ​​the tent in this embodiment is larger. At the same time, through the two sets of unloading springs 6, good stability can be maintained while increasing the area.

[0036] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
