Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tent-related technology, and in particular to an elastic connection node for an impact-resistant tent. Background Technology

[0002] A tent is a portable, temporary shelter, typically consisting of a canvas, frame, and accessories. It is widely used in outdoor camping, tourism, fieldwork, and emergency rescue, and includes various types such as camping tents, mountaineering tents, fishing tents, and military tents. For example, camping tents generally prioritize comfort and space, making them suitable for use in relatively flat campsites; mountaineering tents, on the other hand, require better windproof, waterproof, and tear-resistant properties to cope with complex mountainous environments.

[0003] During tent setup, tent poles are typically assembled using connectors, a method often characterized by fixed connections. Under normal usage, this maintains the tent's basic structural stability. However, in the event of external impacts such as strong winds, heavy rain, blizzards, or even accidental collisions, the fixed connections prevent the effective dispersal or mitigation of impact forces on the poles and connectors. Under high-intensity external forces, the joints between the poles and connectors easily become stress concentration points, leading to pole bending and breakage, and connectors loosening or detaching. This severely threatens the tent's overall structural integrity and safety, significantly reducing its ability to withstand harsh environments. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an elastic connection node for an impact-resistant tent.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An elastic connection node for an impact-resistant tent includes a box body, with openings on multiple end faces of the box body, through which multiple sets of openings are movably connected to columns, with sleeves connected to one end of each set of columns, and holes on one end of each set of sleeves, and multiple sets of springs connected to each set of columns, with the springs distributed in a ring around the corresponding columns.

[0007] Preferably, one set of the openings has a tent pole that can be movably passed through it, and multiple sets of the sleeves have holes two at one end and another end, and each tent pole has a hole three at one end. Multiple sets of holes three have rods that can be movably passed through them, and each set of rods is clearance-fitted with a corresponding hole two. Each set of rods has a spring two connected to one end, and each set of spring two is placed in a corresponding hole three and connected to the corresponding hole three.

[0008] Preferably, each of the multiple sets of rods has a slider connected to one end and the other end, and each of the multiple sets of holes has a groove on one end and the other end, with the sliders slidingly connected to the corresponding grooves respectively.

[0009] Preferably, each of the multiple sets of holes has a washer connected to its inner wall.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the housing is provided with a mounting hole.

[0011] Preferably, the washer is made of thermoplastic elastomer.

[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the tent pole is coated with a zinc layer.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. Through the cooperation of the spring, the housing, and the hole, the tent poles are inserted into the sleeve, and multiple sets of tent poles are connected together through the sleeve. When the tent poles are subjected to external impact, the spring effectively buffers the impact force on the sleeve through its own elastic deformation. During the compression or stretching process, the spring converts the impact energy into elastic potential energy and stores it. Then, as the impact force weakens, it gradually releases the elastic potential energy, thereby preventing the tent poles from bending or breaking due to instantaneous strong impact force to a certain extent. It also prevents the sleeve and tent poles from loosening or separating due to excessive force, thus improving the structural stability and reliability of the tent when subjected to impact.

[0015] 2. By using the interaction between the second spring, the pole, and the second hole, the pole is pushed into the third hole, and the tent pole is moved along the first hole. When the pole moves to the bottom of the second hole, it is inserted into the second hole under the action of the second spring, thus fixing the tent pole. The operation is relatively simple and convenient for users to set up the tent. Attached Figure Description

[0022] 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.

[0023] Example 1, referring to Figures 1 to 5 An elastic connection node for an impact-resistant tent includes a box body 1. Multiple end faces of the box body 1 have openings 2. The number of openings 2 can be selected according to actual needs, such as three-sided or four-sided openings, to meet different tent setup requirements. Multiple openings 2 are movably connected to columns 3. One end of each column 3 is connected to a sleeve 4. One end of each sleeve 4 has a hole 6. Multiple columns 3 are connected to multiple springs 5, which are distributed in a ring around the corresponding columns 3. The number of springs 5 ​​can be selected according to actual needs. For example, in strong wind environments, a box body 1 with more springs 5 ​​can be selected. When the tent pole 7 is subjected to force, causing the sleeve 4 to sway, the springs 5 ​​provide cushioning. During compression or stretching, the springs 5 ​​convert impact energy into elastic potential energy and store it. Then, as the impact weakens, the elastic potential energy is gradually released, thus preventing the tent pole 7 from bending or breaking due to a sudden strong impact.

[0024] In this embodiment, a set of openings 2 movably penetrates the tent pole 7, and multiple sets of sleeves 4 each have holes 2 8 at one end and the other end. Each set of tent poles 7 has holes 3 10 at one end and the other end. Multiple sets of holes 3 10 each have rods 9 movably penetrating through them. Multiple sets of rods 9 are respectively fitted with corresponding holes 2 8 with clearance. Each set of rods 9 has a spring 2 11 connected to one end. Multiple sets of spring 2 11 are respectively placed in the corresponding holes 3 10 and connected to the corresponding holes 3 10. When the rods 9 are pushed into the holes 3 10, the tent pole 7 is pushed along the holes 1 6. When the rods 9 move above or below the holes 3 10, under the action of the spring 2 11, the rods 9 pop out and insert into the holes 2 8, thereby fixing the tent pole 7. Multiple sets of poles 9 are each connected to a slider 13 at one end and another end, and multiple sets of holes 10 are each provided with a groove 12 at one end and another end. The sliders 13 slide in conjunction with their corresponding grooves 12, guiding the poles 9. Multiple sets of holes 6 have washers 14 connected to their inner walls. The diameter of the washers 14 is slightly smaller than that of the tent poles 7. When the tent poles 7 are inserted into the holes 6, the washers 14 are opened and then pressed against the tent poles 7, preventing the tent poles 7 from disengaging under stress to a certain extent. One end of the housing 1 has a mounting hole 15, which can be connected to equipment such as guy lines, improving stability to a certain extent. The washer 14 is made of thermoplastic elastomer, which combines the elasticity of rubber with the processing properties of plastic, exhibiting good flexibility, fatigue resistance, and low-temperature resistance. The outer wall of the tent poles 7 is plated with a zinc layer, which has good corrosion resistance, making it particularly suitable for damp outdoor environments.

[0025] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: In use, select a box 1 with different numbers of openings 2 according to actual needs, such as three-sided or four-sided openings. Push the two sides of the tent pole 7 into the three holes 10. Move the tent pole 7 along the first hole 6. When the pole 9 moves to the same horizontal line as the second hole 8, under the action of the second spring 11, the second spring 11 drives the pole 9 to move and insert into the second hole 8, thereby fixing the tent pole 7. This makes disassembly convenient to a certain extent and has a wide range of applications. Repeat the above operation to connect multiple sets of tent poles 7 together. When the tent pole 7 is impacted by an external force, the tent pole 7 drives the sleeve 4 to shake. At this time, the first spring 5 buffers the impact force on the sleeve 4, preventing the sleeve 4 from loosening or separating from the tent pole 7 due to external force to a certain extent.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
