Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of outdoor products, and more specifically, relates to an external extension canopy for outdoor tents. Background Technology

[0002] Existing outdoor tents, such as the Chinese invention patent with patent number CN202410912325.0, disclose a type of tent with a fixed internal area that cannot be expanded. To expand it, an extension component needs to be added to the outside to expand the space at the entrance and increase the internal capacity of the tent.

[0003] There are currently no externally extendable tents on the market that can expand an external space to be combined with the existing tent to increase the internal capacity. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an external extension tent for outdoor tents, which can be matched with the original tent to extend an external space at the entrance and connect with the original tent space.

[0005] This utility model discloses an external extension canopy for outdoor tents, which is used to install on the outside of the tent's entrance door, and includes a top fabric, front fabric, side fabric, support poles, and several ground pegs.

[0006] The top fabric, front fabric, and side fabrics are interconnected, and the top fabric is supported by support poles to support and enclose an extended space, which is open to the side facing the tent. The top fabric and several side fabrics are detachably connected to the tent entrance. The extended space is connected to the interior space of the tent through the entrance. The top fabric, front fabric, and side fabrics are all detachably connected to the ground by ground pegs. A rope is tied to the top fabric where it is supported by the support poles, and the other end of the rope is connected to the ground.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, transparent windows are provided on the top fabric, front fabric, and side fabric for light transmission.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the material of the transparent window is TPU.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, a zipper is provided between the front fabric and the side fabric for detachable connection.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, a pocket is provided at the lower end of the outer edge of the top fabric. During installation, the tent curtain at the entrance of the tent, which is rolled up and folded up, is stored in the pocket.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, a buckle is provided on the outside of the tent entrance door; a pocket is fixedly set at the lower edge of the outer edge of the top fabric, with the opening facing one side of the tent; a hook is provided at the lower end of the top fabric on the other side of the pocket, with one end of the hook fixedly connected to the top fabric; during installation, the other end of the hook goes around the lower side of the pocket and connects to the buckle to support and lock the tent door curtain located inside the pocket.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, symmetrical rods are provided on both sides of the outer side of the top fabric. The rods and support rods cooperate to support the extended tent.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] By incorporating an extendable awning with an opening on one side, it can be placed on the outside of the tent's entrance. When the entrance is opened, it connects to the interior space, effectively expanding the overall interior area. The extendable awning itself can also be equipped with detachable components such as zippers, replacing the function of a curtain. Alternatively, transparent windows can be added to all four sides of the extendable awning to improve lighting performance. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 1. Top fabric; 2. Front fabric; 3. Side fabric; 4. Pockets; 5. Hooks; 6. Pole straps; 7. Support poles; 8. Tent door curtain; 9. Buckles. Detailed Implementation

[0025] Specific Implementation Example 1: Please refer to... Figures 1-8 An external extension canopy for an outdoor tent includes a top fabric 1, a front fabric 2, side fabrics 3, support poles 7, and several ground pegs. This product is suitable for installation on the outside of the tent's entrance door. This embodiment uses the tent disclosed in invention patent CN202410912325.0 as an example to explain the structure and function of this external extension canopy.

[0026] During installation, the edges of the top fabric 1 and the side fabric 3 are detachably connected to the tent's entrance door to cover it. Preferably, hooks 5 are provided along the edges of both the top fabric 1 and the side fabric 3, while a corresponding ring 9 is provided at the tent's entrance door. The ring 9 can be detachably connected to the hooks 5 to ensure a secure installation. Alternatively, the tent and the extension canopy can be glued together.

[0027] On the outer side of the top fabric 1 of the tent, there are symmetrical pole straps 6 on both sides. These pole straps 6 can cooperate with support poles 7 to support the tent, making the top fabric 1 horizontal and the side fabrics 3 vertical, thus supporting the expanded space. This expanded space can then connect with the existing space inside the tent, increasing the overall footprint. Simultaneously, the outer side of the top fabric 1 also has several loops 9 for tying ropes. When setting up the tent, one end of the rope is secured to these loops 9, and the other end is connected to the ground via ground pegs to tighten the entire tent. To ensure the tent is taut and securely installed, the bottom of the front fabric 2 and the side fabrics 3 are also connected to the ground via ground pegs.

[0028] Preferably, in order to ensure excellent lighting in the extended space of the tent, the front fabric 2 and the side fabric 3 can be made of transparent materials, such as TPU, at least partially. Figure 1 The structure shown has transparent windows on both the front fabric 2 and the side fabric 3 for allowing light to pass through.

[0029] Preferably, in order to ensure that the extended tent still has the function of entering the house, a separate structure can be set between the front fabric 2 and the side fabric 3, such as setting zippers, buckles, etc., so that the front fabric 2 and the side fabric 3 can be detachably connected, and can be switched to a separate state when it is necessary to enter or exit.

[0030] Preferably, to ensure a tight seal between the extension tent and the existing tent, a pocket 4 can be provided on the outer edge of the top fabric 1, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 Appendix Figure 4As shown. Pocket 4 can be sewn onto the surface of the top fabric 1 of the tent. Pocket 4 is used to store the tent curtain 8 of the original tent entrance. The tent curtain 8 can be rolled up and stuffed into pocket 4, so the width of pocket 4 needs to be greater than its depth. Depending on the length and number of tent curtains, pocket 4 can be made into a single large size or several small sizes arranged in parallel. It should be noted that pocket 4 is normally free to close and should be opened by hand when in use for easy storage. The design of pocket 4 creates a double structure at the seam between the tent and the original tent, which enhances the tightness of the connection and thus minimizes the intrusion of wind and rain through the gaps. Without pocket 4, gaps will still remain if the tent and the original tent are simply stacked.

[0031] Preferably, in order to further improve the connection between the extension tent and the original tent, and also to prevent the tent flap 8 of the original tent from falling off when it is rolled up for storage, such as... Figure 6 , Figure 8 As shown, the tent curtain 8 needs to be supported by hooks 5 and buckles 9. Specifically, buckles 9 are fixedly installed on the outside of the original tent entrance; pocket 4 is fixedly installed at the lower edge of the outer edge of the top fabric 1, with the opening facing one side of the tent; hooks 5 are installed at the lower end of the top fabric 1 on the other side of pocket 4, one end of hook 5 is fixedly connected to the top fabric 1, and the other end can go around the lower side of pocket 4 and connect to buckles 9 to support and lock the tent curtain 8 inside pocket 4.

[0032] Preferred usage scenarios for the extendable tent include: ① Daytime: Roll up the original tent flap 8 and store it in the pocket 4. This allows for a wider outdoor view while maintaining the original tent's interior space. The ground pegs can be fixed on the outside and can be flexibly adjusted according to wind direction and usage scenario. ② Nighttime: When sleeping, lower the original tent flap 8 to ensure privacy inside the tent. At this time, the ground pegs need to be readjusted to apply tension, and can be fixed on the inside.
