[0002] In the process of setting up a tent or similar structure, the stability and adjustability of the support poles are crucial. Traditional tent support systems mostly use fixed connectors or simple plug-in connections. Although these can meet basic support requirements, they are prone to problems such as unstable support, difficulty in adjustment, and complicated installation during use. These problems not only affect the user experience of the tent, but may also lead to a decrease in the durability and reliability of the tent support system. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a center top support connector, which aims to improve the problems of the existing center top support connector being inconvenient for installing tent support poles and for adjusting the position of tent support poles.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a central top support connector, including a connector body, with rotating plates rotatably connected to both the left and right sides of the outer wall of the connector body. A mounting sleeve is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating plate away from the connector body. A connecting plate is rotatably connected inside the mounting sleeve. Limit frames are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the connecting plates. An adjustment component is provided inside the connector body for adjusting the position of the limit frames. An installation component is provided inside the limit frames for installing tent support poles.
[0005] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0006] The installation assembly includes clamping plates that are slidably connected to the front and rear sides inside the limiting frame. Each clamping plate has a clamping claw fixedly connected to its opposite side. Each limiting frame has a limiting groove on its upper part on its opposite side. A threaded block is slidably connected inside the limiting groove. A bidirectional screw is threadedly connected to the middle of the threaded block. Both ends of the bidirectional screw are fixedly connected to limiting discs. A handle is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting disc away from the bidirectional screw.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0008] The adjustment component includes a mounting groove, which is formed on the upper and lower sides of the connecting body. A mounting block is slidably connected inside the mounting groove, and a connecting block is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting blocks on both sides.

[0010] The connector body has a mounting hole in the middle.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] The clamping plate is fixedly connected to the side of the threaded block away from the limiting groove, and the bidirectional screw passes through the limiting frame.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] The clamping plate and grippers are made of plastic, the connecting body is made of aluminum alloy, and the limiting frame is made of stainless steel.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0016] The connecting block is fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the rotating plate on opposite sides.
[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. In this utility model, the rotating plate drives the connecting block to rotate, the connecting block drives the mounting block to slide, the rotating plate drives the mounting sleeve to rotate, the mounting sleeve drives the limiting frame to rotate, and then pushes the limiting frame to drive the connecting plate to rotate. Finally, the rotating handle drives the bidirectional screw to rotate, causing the threaded block to slide inside the limiting groove. The threaded block drives the clamping plate to move relative to each other, and the clamping plate drives the clamping claw to move relative to each other. This makes it easy to install the tent support pole with the center top support connector, and at the same time, it is easy to adjust the position of the tent support pole.
[0019] 2. In this utility model, the plastic material provides good wear resistance and corrosion resistance to the clamping plate and claws, and is lightweight, making it suitable for use with metal parts and reducing friction. The aluminum alloy material provides a good strength-to-weight ratio to the body of the connecting part, and the stainless steel material provides structural strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring that the limit frame remains stable during long-term use.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a central top support connector, comprising a connector body 1, characterized in that: rotating plates 5 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the outer wall of the connector body 1; an mounting sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating plate 5 away from the connector body 1; a connecting plate 7 is rotatably connected inside the mounting sleeve 6; a limiting frame 8 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the connecting plate 7; an adjustment component is provided inside the connector body 1 for adjusting the position of the limiting frame 8; an installation component is provided inside the limiting frame 8 for installing the tent support pole; the installation component includes clamping plates 9, which are slidably connected to the front and rear sides inside the limiting frame 8; clamping claws 10 are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the clamping plates 9; and clamping claws 10 are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the limiting frame 8. The upper side is provided with a limiting groove 11. A threaded block 12 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 11. A bidirectional screw 13 is threadedly connected to the middle of the threaded block 12. Both ends of the bidirectional screw 13 are fixedly connected to a limiting plate 14. A handle 15 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting plate 14 away from the bidirectional screw 13. The adjustment component includes a mounting groove 2. The mounting groove 2 is provided on the upper and lower sides of the connecting body 1. A mounting block 3 is slidably connected inside the mounting groove 2. A connecting block 4 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two mounting blocks 3. A mounting hole is provided in the middle of the connecting body 1. A clamping plate 9 is fixedly connected to the side of the threaded block 12 away from the limiting groove 11. The bidirectional screw 13 passes through the limiting frame 8. The connecting block 4 is fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the opposite side of the rotating plate 5.
[0027] After fixing the tent's central support pole in the appropriate position through the mounting holes, rotating the rotating plate 5 causes the connecting block 4 to rotate. The connecting block 4 further causes the mounting block 3 to slide within the mounting groove 2, achieving coordinated movement between components. The rotation of the rotating plate 5 also causes the mounting sleeve 6 to rotate. The mounting sleeve 6 drives the limiting frame 8 to rotate through the connecting plate 7. The rotation of the limiting frame 8 causes the connecting plate 7 to continue rotating inside the mounting sleeve 6, and pushes the limiting frame 8 to drive the movement of the corresponding components. Next, the tent support pole is placed on the opposite side of the clamp 10 to ensure the stable position of the support pole. Finally, by rotating the handle 15, the handle 15 drives the limiting plate 14 to rotate. The limiting plate 14 further drives the bidirectional screw 13 to rotate, causing the threaded block 12 to slide within the limiting groove 11. The threaded block 12 pushes the clamping plate 9 to move relative to each other, thereby causing the clamp 10 to make relative adjustments, thus effectively clamping the tent support pole. This series of actions enables the central top support connector to not only easily complete the installation of the tent support pole, but also flexibly adjust the position of the support pole, ensuring the stability and ease of use of the tent.
[0028] Reference Figures 1-3 The clamping plate 9 and the gripper 10 are both made of plastic, the connecting body 1 is made of aluminum alloy, and the limiting frame 8 is made of stainless steel.
[0029] By using plastic materials, the clamping plate 9 and the gripper 10 have excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance. At the same time, the lightweight nature of plastic can effectively reduce friction when it is used with metal parts, thereby improving the system's working efficiency and service life. The plastic material can also reduce wear caused by friction, thus extending the equipment's maintenance cycle. In addition, the connecting body 1 is made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy, with its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, provides high structural stability while maintaining low weight, reducing the burden on the overall equipment. It not only ensures the strength requirements but also improves the convenience of installation and operation. The limit frame 8 is made of stainless steel. The excellent corrosion resistance and structural strength of stainless steel ensure the stability of the limit frame in long-term use. It is not easily affected by the external environment and can effectively resist the corrosion of moisture, chemicals, and high temperatures, ensuring that the entire system can still maintain efficient and stable operation under long-term, high-load working conditions.
[0030] Working principle: When the tent support pole needs to be installed, rotating the rotating plate 5 causes the connecting block 4 to rotate, which in turn causes the mounting block 3 to slide inside the mounting groove 2. The rotating plate 5 causes the mounting sleeve 6 to rotate, which in turn causes the limiting frame 8 to rotate via the connecting plate 7. Then, pushing the limiting frame 8 causes the connecting plate 7 to rotate inside the mounting sleeve 6. The tent support pole is then placed on the opposite side of the clamp 10. Finally, rotating the handle 15 causes the limiting plate 14 to rotate, which in turn causes the bidirectional screw 13 to rotate, causing the threaded block 12 to slide inside the limiting groove 11. The threaded block 12 causes the clamping plate 9 to move relative to the tent support pole, which in turn causes the clamping jaw 10 to move relative to the tent support pole. This makes it easy to install the tent support pole using the center top support connector, and also makes it easy to adjust the position of the tent support pole.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
