Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a tent, specifically a multi-functional three-in-one tent. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing popularity of road trips, tents are a popular accessory for these trips. Most tents are directly erected on the ground, which is quick and convenient, but vulnerable to rain and requires a flat surface. Users may also worry about others or small animals approaching. Rooftop tents, as a type of vehicle equipment, are favored by road trip and camping enthusiasts. However, current rooftop tents, including the tent and roof platform, are generally heavy and expensive, and have specific vehicle model requirements, hindering some consumers. Furthermore, installing and removing rooftop tents is time-consuming and laborious, difficult for one person to complete alone, and the removed tent and platform are inconvenient to store and carry. Even when the rooftop tent is retracted to reduce its size, wind resistance still increases fuel consumption, especially at high speeds where wind resistance puts greater stress on the roof, increasing both fuel consumption and posing a safety hazard. Therefore, there is a need for a new type of tent that is reasonably priced, suitable for a wider range of vehicle models, and easy to install, remove, store, and carry. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional three-in-one tent that integrates a rooftop tent, a ground-mounted tent, and a floor-mounted tent. It is suitable for a wide range of vehicle models, and is easy to install, assemble, dismantle, store, and carry, further expanding the places where tents can be used and meeting the rest needs of people with various camping hobbies.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: This technical solution includes a tent support body and a tent. The tent support body consists of a square frame connecting pipe bracket and a strong fabric pad. The square frame connecting pipe bracket is composed of two longitudinal branch pipes and two transverse branch pipes connected together. Each longitudinal and transverse branch pipe has several short branch pipes connected by straight pipe connectors. For example, two, three, or four short branch pipes can be used for connection. The purpose of using several short branch pipes and straight pipe connectors to form longitudinal and transverse branch pipes is to facilitate assembly, disassembly, and easy storage and carrying. When assembling the longitudinal and transverse branch pipes without using straight pipe connectors, the diameter of the short branch pipe ends can be expanded to implement a fitting connection scheme. The two ends of the longitudinal and transverse branch pipes are connected by four three-dimensional tee connectors, thus forming the square frame connecting pipe bracket. When assembling the square frame connecting pipe bracket used on the roof, the two assembled longitudinal branch pipes are fixed to the two roof rack crossbars (or roof rack longitudinal bars) using four longitudinal branch pipe fixing connectors. The installation and removal of the roof rack crossbars are known techniques. Four three-dimensional tee connecting pipes are installed at both ends of the two longitudinal branch pipes, and the two transverse branch pipes are installed on the three-dimensional tee connecting pipes. Four safety branch pipes are installed in the vertical upward opening of the three-dimensional tee connecting pipes. The high-strength fabric mat is a rectangular mat sewn from high-strength fabric. Several straps are attached around the perimeter of the mat, each equipped with a tensioner. The straps are secured to the square frame support tube and tightened. The tensioner is a known technical component. Alternatively, several ropes can be connected horizontally and vertically to the square frame support tube and tightened using a tensioner. An inflatable mattress or folding mattress can then be laid flat on the tightened ropes, achieving the same effect as using the high-strength fabric mat. The tent is preferably a four-sided tent, preferably an inflatable tent, preferably an inflatable tent using high-pressure water hoses as air columns (other pole tents can also be used). The tent is a known technical product. Place the tent on the taut and flattened high-strength fabric mat, inflate the tent, and secure it. Attach the bottoms of the inflatable columns at the four corners of the tent to safety support tubes. Connect the safety support tubes with safety belts for safety protection. The safety support tubes also serve to connect the surrounding fabric for privacy. The windproof ropes on the tent are tied to the square frame connecting tubes. When resting, a ladder is used to enter the tent through the tent door.
[0005] When used as an off-ground tent, this invention involves connecting and assembling several short branch pipes on the ground to form a square frame pipe support. Four safety branch pipes are installed into the vertically upward-facing openings of four three-dimensional tee pipe fittings. The upper ends of four telescopic support pipes are installed into the vertically downward-facing openings of the three-dimensional tee pipe fittings. The height of each telescopic support pipe is adjusted (support pipes of a predetermined length can be used instead of telescopic support pipes). The straps on the strong fabric pad are tied to the square frame pipe support and tightened. The tent is placed on the strong fabric pad, and the tent is inflated and set up. The bottoms of the inflatable columns at the four corners of the tent are tied to the safety branch pipes, and safety belts are used to connect them to the safety branch pipes. The tent's guy lines are tied to the designated ground pegs.
[0006] When this invention is used as a ground tent, there is no need to install a tent support structure. Simply lay the moisture-proof mat flat on the ground, place the tent on the moisture-proof mat, inflate the tent, and it is ready to use.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0008] This utility model provides a multi-functional three-in-one tent. The tent's support structure uses a square frame with connecting pipes to support a strong fabric pad, resulting in a lightweight overall structure that is easy to install, assemble, disassemble, store, and carry. It preferably uses a high-pressure water hose as the air column for inflation; the small diameter air column provides high inflation pressure and rigidity, facilitating support and storage when combined with the tent's support structure. This technical solution is organically integrated with the roof rack crossbar, making it suitable for a wide range of vehicle models. It solves the current problems of large overall weight, high cost, and difficulty in disassembly and storage of roof tents, while also expanding the tent's application scenarios.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] 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. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0017] As attached Figures 1 to 4As shown, this technical solution includes a tent support body (functionally equivalent to a vehicle roof platform) and a tent 3. The tent support body consists of a square frame connecting tube bracket 1 and a strong cloth pad 2. The rectangular pipe support 1 is composed of two longitudinal branch pipes 11 and two transverse branch pipes 12. Each longitudinal branch pipe 11 and transverse branch pipe 12 is connected by several short branch pipes 13 using straight pipe connectors 16. For example, two, three, or four short branch pipes 13 can be used for connection (in this embodiment, each longitudinal branch pipe 11 is connected by three short branch pipes 13, and each transverse branch pipe 12 is connected by two short branch pipes 13). The purpose of using several short branch pipes 13 and straight pipe connectors 16 to connect the longitudinal branch pipes 11 and transverse branch pipes 12 is to facilitate assembly, disassembly, and easy storage and carrying. When assembling the longitudinal branch pipes 11 and transverse branch pipes 12 without using straight pipe connectors 16, the diameter of the short branch pipes 13 can be expanded to implement a fitting connection scheme. The two ends of the longitudinal branch pipes 11 and transverse branch pipes 12 are connected by four three-dimensional tee connectors 17, thus forming the rectangular pipe support 1. When assembling the square frame connecting pipe bracket 1 used on the roof, the two assembled longitudinal branch pipes 11 are fixed to the two roof rack crossbars 4 using four longitudinal branch pipe fixing connectors 18. The installation and removal of the roof rack crossbars 4 are known technologies. Four three-dimensional tee connecting pipe fittings 17 are installed at both ends of the two longitudinal branch pipes 11, and two horizontal branch pipes 12 are installed on the three-dimensional tee connecting pipe fittings 17. Four safety branch pipes 14 are installed in the vertical upward opening of the three-dimensional tee connecting pipe fittings 17. The strong fabric pad 2 is a rectangular pad made of strong fabric. Several straps 21 are arranged around the perimeter of the strong fabric pad 2, and tensioners are installed on the straps 21. The straps 21 are tied to the square frame connecting tube support 1 and tightened. The tensioners are a known technical product and are not shown in the attached drawings. Alternatively, several ropes can be connected longitudinally and transversely to the square frame connecting tube support 1, and each rope can be tightened using tensioners. An inflatable mattress or folding mattress can be laid flat on the tightened ropes, achieving the same effect as using the strong fabric pad 2. The tent 3 is preferably a four-sided tent, preferably an inflatable tent, preferably an inflatable tent using high-pressure water hoses as air columns (other pole tents can also be used). Tent 3 is a known technical product. Place tent 3 on the taut and flattened strong fabric mat 2, inflate tent 3 to set it up, and tie the bottom of the four inflatable columns at the corners of tent 3 to the safety support tubes 14. Connect the safety support tubes 14 with safety belts 5 for safety protection. Another function of the safety support tubes 14 is to connect the surrounding fabric to protect privacy. The wind ropes on tent 3 are tied to the square frame connecting tube bracket 1. When resting, use a ladder to enter the tent through the tent door 31.
[0018] When used as an off-ground tent, this invention involves assembling several short branch pipes 13 on the ground to form a square frame pipe support 1. Four safety branch pipes 14 are respectively installed into the vertically upward openings of four three-dimensional tee pipe fittings 17. The upper ends of four telescopic support pipes 15 are respectively installed into the vertically downward openings of the three-dimensional tee pipe fittings 17. The height of each telescopic support pipe 15 is adjusted (support pipes of a set length can be used instead of telescopic support pipes 15). The straps 21 on the strong fabric pad 2 are tied to the square frame pipe support 1 and tightened. The tent 3 is placed on the strong fabric pad 2, and the tent 3 is inflated and expanded. The bottoms of the inflatable columns at the four corners of the tent 3 are respectively tied to the safety branch pipes 14, and safety belts 5 are used to connect them to the safety branch pipes 14. The windproof ropes of the tent 3 are tied to the set ground pegs.
[0019] When this invention is used as a ground tent, there is no need to install a tent support. Simply lay the moisture-proof mat flat on the ground, place the tent 3 on the moisture-proof mat, inflate the tent 3 to support it, and it is ready to use.
[0020] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
