Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hammock technology, and more specifically to a hammock adjustment structure. Background Technology
[0002] Hammocks are a common outdoor activity item. They are usually tied to trees or hammock frames to create a bed surface for users to lie down and rest.
[0003] Existing hammocks, besides including the bed sheet and the connecting structures at both ends of the bed sheet, generally require the use of tie ropes at both ends. The tie ropes can be additionally installed or pre-tied and fixed to both ends of the hammock. When installing the hammock, first secure the two tie ropes to two external anchor points (the external anchor points can be two trees or the hammock frame), and then attach / bind / lock the connecting structures at both ends of the hammock to the two tie ropes (if the tie ropes are already fixed to both ends of the hammock, this step can be omitted).
[0004] To ensure the stability of the hammock, the ropes need to be firmly fixed to external anchor points. Existing ropes generally require manual binding and knotting, which is a complicated and difficult process. It is also easy for the ropes to come loose due to improper operation, which could cause injury.
[0005] Furthermore, since the height and tightness of the hammock that provide comfort to different users vary from person to person, adjustments to the height or tightness of the fabric may be necessary after the hammock is installed. Some hammocks on the market do not have a dedicated adjustment mechanism; when adjustments are needed, the user must completely disassemble and reassemble the entire hammock, a complicated, cumbersome, and time-consuming process that is inconvenient to use.
[0006] Given the above, there are currently hammocks on the market equipped with length adjustment mechanisms. These mechanisms are located on the connecting structures at both ends of the hammock's fabric. After the hammock is connected to the ropes, the length adjustment mechanism can be adjusted by winding or pulling back the connecting structures at both ends, thereby adjusting the hammock's height and the tightness of the fabric. The adjustment process involves adjusting and locking the length, and the steps are relatively cumbersome and time-consuming. Furthermore, since hammocks generally need to support the weight of an adult, the length adjustment mechanism, if improperly locked or insufficiently strong, can easily cause the hammock to loosen under load, leading to it sagging or tipping over, causing the user to lose balance and fall, resulting in injury. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a hammock adjustment structure that is easy to install, stable, simple to adjust, and safe.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a hammock adjustment structure, including a binding rope connecting the two ends of the hammock to an external fixed point. The binding rope is a flat, high-strength rope, and a hanging section and a fixing section are formed on the binding rope.
[0009] The hanging section is used to hang the hammock. The end of the rope in the hanging section is folded and sewn with multiple stitches at intervals, forming a locking ring, several hanging holes, and a hanging ring from the inside out.
[0010] The locking ring is located at the junction of the hook section and the fixed section, and three locking rings are inserted side by side in the locking ring;
[0011] The fixed section is a single-layer binding rope. The end of the binding rope on the fixed section is the fixed end. The fixed end is formed by three buckles to form a fixed sleeve for one-way tightening and adjustment. The fixed sleeve is fixedly connected to the external fixed point.
[0012] Furthermore, the three latches are arranged in order of gradually moving away from the fixed end: the first latch, the second latch, and the third latch. When forming the fixed sleeve, the fixed end is first folded inward and passes through the first latch, the second latch, and the third latch in sequence. Then, it is folded outward and passes through the second latch and the first latch in sequence. Finally, it is folded inward and passes through the second latch. After the fixed end passes through the second latch for the last time, it can be pulled to increase the length of the fixed section that passes through the second latch, so as to adjust the unidirectional tightening of the fixed sleeve.
[0013] Furthermore, the end of the rope at the hook section is folded twice to form a three-layer rope section with a three-layer structure and a two-layer rope section with a two-layer structure. After the three-layer rope section is stitched together with multiple stitches at intervals, a locking ring and several hook holes are formed from the inside to the outside. The two-layer rope section is located outside the outermost stitch of the three-layer rope section, and the two-layer rope section forms a hook ring.
[0014] Furthermore, the fixing end is folded twice to form three layers, with the end sandwiched between two layers of binding rope. A stop part is sewn on the inner edge of the fixing end to form an inward protrusion on the single-layer fixing section. The stop part unidirectionally prevents the fixing end from passing through the buckle.
[0015] Furthermore, the end of the binding rope in the hook section is folded inward and then outward, so that the folded end of the binding rope is sandwiched between the two layers of binding rope to form a three-layer binding rope segment. The three-layer binding rope segment of the hook section has four stitches to form three hook holes. The innermost stitch is located at the outer end of the buckle ring, and the outermost stitch is located at the inner end of the hook ring. The end of the binding rope protrudes from the outer end of the outermost stitch.
[0016] Furthermore, the two ends of the hammock are connected to the binding rope via connecting ropes, and the hammock adjustment structure also includes a length adjustment device that can adjust the length of the connecting ropes, which is located on the connecting ropes.
[0017] Furthermore, the latch is a ring-shaped metal latch with the ends connected.
[0018] Furthermore, the binding rope is made of nylon webbing, TPU coated webbing, polyester webbing, aramid webbing, or polypropylene webbing.
[0019] Furthermore, the external fixing point is the hammock frame, the fixing sleeve is fixedly connected to the hammock frame, and the end of the hammock is hung in the hanging ring or any hanging hole.
[0020] Furthermore, the external fixing point is a fixed columnar object, and the fixing sleeve is fixedly fastened to the columnar object. The end of the hammock is hung in the hanging ring or any hanging hole.
[0021] By adopting the above solution, this utility model has at least the following technical effects:
[0022] 1. This utility model has a hanging ring and multiple hanging holes formed on the rope hanging section. The height of the hammock can be adjusted by connecting the hammock to different hanging holes or hanging rings. The operation is simple and quick. Since no complicated operation is required, it is not easy to cause the hammock connection to be unstable due to operation errors, thus ensuring safety.
[0023] 2. The binding rope of this utility model is formed by passing a buckle through the fixed end to form a fixed sleeve, which is fixedly connected to the external fixed point. There is no need to tie complicated knots to connect the external fixed point. The installation method is simple, and the fixed sleeve can only be tightened and adjusted in one direction. It will not loosen from the external fixed point, so the connection between the two ends of the hammock is stable. Attached Figure Description

[0034] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.
[0035] See Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a hammock adjustment structure, including a binding rope 10 connecting the two ends of the hammock to an external fixing point. The binding rope 10 is a flat, high-strength rope, and a hooking section 1 and a fixing section 2 are formed on the binding rope 10. The hooking section 1 is used to hook the hammock. The end of the binding rope located in the hooking section 1 is folded and stitched with multiple stitches 4 at intervals, forming a locking ring 111, several hooking holes 112, and hooking ring 12 in sequence from the inside to the outside.
[0036] The end of the binding rope 10 located in the hanging section 1 is folded twice to form a three-layer binding rope section 11 with a three-layer structure and a double-layer binding rope section 10 with a two-layer structure. After the three-layer binding rope section 11 is stitched together with multiple stitches 4 at intervals, it forms a locking ring 111 and several hanging holes 112 from the inside to the outside. The double-layer binding rope section 10 is located outside the outermost stitch 4 of the three-layer binding rope section 11 and forms a hanging ring 12.
[0037] Specifically, the end of the binding rope 10 located in the hanging section 1 is folded inward and then folded outward, so that the folded end of the binding rope 10 is sandwiched between the two layers of binding rope 10 to form a three-layer binding rope section 11. Figure 1 , Figure 2 The three-layered binding rope section 11 has four stitches 4, forming three hook holes 112. The innermost stitch 4 is located at the outer end of the buckle ring 111, and the outermost stitch 4 is located at the inner end of the hook ring 12. The end of the binding rope 10 protrudes from the outermost stitch 4.
[0038] With the aforementioned structure of the hanging section 1, this utility model features a hanging ring 12 and multiple hanging holes 112 formed on the hanging section 1 of the binding rope 10. The height of the hammock can be adjusted by connecting it to different hanging holes 112 or hanging rings 12 (e.g., using hooks, buckles, or hanging ropes at both ends of the hammock connected to the hanging holes 112 or hanging rings 12). Operation is simple and quick, and because no complex operations are required, it is less prone to instability due to operational errors, thus ensuring safety. Furthermore, the length of the hanging section 1 and the number of hanging holes 112 can be customized to different specifications for various application scenarios.
[0039] The structure of the three-layer binding rope section 11 mentioned above can increase the strength of the hanging section 1 itself and enhance the stability of the hammock after connection.
[0040] The locking ring 111 is located at the junction of the hook section 1 and the fixing section 2, and three locking rings are inserted side by side in the locking ring 111.
[0041] The fixed section 2 is a single-layer binding rope 10. The end of the binding rope 10 located on the fixed section 2 is the fixed end 21. The fixed end 21 forms a one-way tightening and adjusting fixed sleeve 22 by passing through three buckles. The fixed sleeve 22 is fixedly connected to the external fixed point.
[0042] Specifically, see Figure 4 , Figure 5 The three latches are defined as first latch 31, second latch 32, and third latch 33 in order of gradually moving away from the fixed end 21. When forming the fixed sleeve 22, the fixed end 21 is first folded inward and passes through the first latch 31, second latch 32, and third latch 33 in sequence. Then it is folded outward and passes through the second latch 32 and first latch 31 in sequence. Finally, it is folded inward and passes through the second latch 32. After the fixed end 21 passes through the second latch 32 for the last time, it can be pulled to increase the length of the fixed section 2 that passes through the second latch 32, so as to perform one-way tightening adjustment of the fixed sleeve 22.
[0043] The above is only one way of inserting the locking buckle to form a one-way tightening adjustment fixed sleeve 22 on the fixed section 2. One-way tightening adjustment can also be achieved by inserting it in other ways.
[0044] With the help of the structure of the fixed section 2, the binding rope 10 of this utility model is formed by passing a buckle through the fixed end 21 to form a fixed sleeve 22. The fixed sleeve 22 is fixedly connected to the external fixed point. There is no need to tie complicated knots to connect the external fixed point. The installation method is simple. Moreover, the fixed sleeve 22 can only be tightened and adjusted in one direction and will not loosen from the external fixed point, so that the connection between the two ends of the hammock is stable.
[0045] The fixing sleeve 22 can also be used for different external fixing points. It can be fastened to fixed columnar objects such as trees. In this case, the fixing sleeve 22 is fixedly fastened to the columnar object. If there are no trees in some scenarios or if it is prohibited to set up a hammock on a tree, an additional movable fastener can be used to simultaneously pass through the connection between the fixing sleeve 22 and the hammock frame, thereby fixing the fixing sleeve 22 to the hammock frame. Then, the end of the hammock is hooked into the hook ring 12 or any hook hole 112 to realize the installation of the hammock.
[0046] Optionally, the aforementioned fixed end 21 is folded twice to form three layers, with the end sandwiched between two layers of binding rope 10. A stop portion 211 protruding inward on the single-layer fixed section 2 is sewn at the inner edge of the fixed end 21. When the fixed section 2 forms the fixed sleeve 22 according to the aforementioned insertion method, if it encounters an accident that causes the part that is last to pass through the second lock 32 to try to disengage from the second lock 32, the stop portion 211 will be stuck at the second lock 32, unidirectionally preventing the fixed end 21 from passing through the second lock 32. This further increases the safety of the hammock.
[0047] The first buckle 31, the second buckle 32, and the third buckle 33 mentioned above are ring-shaped metal buckles that connect end to end. The buckles are rectangular in shape with rounded corners, and their width is slightly larger than the width of the binding rope 10. The binding rope 10 can be made of high-strength woven bags such as nylon webbing, TPU coated webbing, polyester webbing, aramid webbing, or polypropylene webbing, and has waterproof and wear-resistant properties depending on the material.
[0048] The hammock's two ends are connected to the binding rope 10 via connecting ropes. Optionally, the hammock adjustment structure may also include a length adjustment device on the connecting ropes to adjust their length, such as a device for winding and positioning the connecting ropes. In this case, the hammock has two adjustment methods: it can be adjusted by selecting different positions on the binding rope 10, or by adjusting the length of the connecting ropes, thereby achieving adjustment of the hammock height or the tightness of the bed sheet, providing greater flexibility. The length adjustment device on the connecting ropes is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0049] The above is merely one embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
