Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tents, specifically to a tent structure. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, our company is developing a living cabin that can be installed at campsites or directly on pickup trucks to transform them into motorhomes. The living cabin is open-air and can also be covered with a tent. This type of tent only needs to be stored in the cargo box of the pickup truck to meet the vehicle's road-going requirements.
[0003] In addition, setting up a tent is usually time-consuming and labor-intensive, so there is a need for a tent that can be quickly set up and taken down, suitable for the above scenarios. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present invention aims to provide a tent structure that enables the tent to be quickly set up and taken down, suitable for the scenarios described in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a tent structure, including a tent fabric and a fluid channel support, wherein the tent fabric is supported on the fluid channel support, and the fluid channel support includes a vertical support and an oblique support. The vertical support is supported on the ground or a stable structure, and the oblique support and the vertical support are connected and communicate with each other on the sides. After the fluid in the oblique support is drained, it can be contained within the horizontal projection range of the vertical support.
[0006] The beneficial effects of this plan are:
[0007] 1. The fluids mainly include gases and liquids. The fluids can quickly fill the support structure of this solution, thereby providing support for the overall tent structure.
[0008] 2. The horizontal projection range of the vertical support is within the final storage area. After the fluid fills the vertical support, the vertical support is quickly erected, and then the diagonal support extends to the corresponding side to expand the space inside the tent. The diagonal support and the vertical support are connected to ensure that after the fluid flows out of the diagonal support, the diagonal support can be stored in the final storage area.
[0009] Furthermore, a tensile bracing is provided between the upper side of the vertical support and the upper side of the diagonal support.
[0010] Furthermore, the vertical supports are portal frames, and the diagonal supports are inclined portal frames.
[0011] Furthermore, two parallel vertical supports are provided, and a horizontal support is provided between the upper middle positions of the two vertical supports.
[0012] Furthermore, the lateral support and tensile support are on the same vertical plane.
[0013] Furthermore, the tarpaulin is supported by vertical and diagonal supports, forming a main space, a side extension space, and a front extension space below the tarpaulin. The main space is the space between the two vertical supports, the side extension space is located on the side of the main space, and the front extension space is the space below the diagonal support.
[0014] Furthermore, the upper edge of the tarpaulin in the lateral extension space is connected to the upper edge of the vertical support, and the lower edge of the tarpaulin is connected to the ground or other structures, thereby forming a triangular cross-section in the lateral extension space.
[0015] Furthermore, vertical supports are installed on the cargo box of the truck, while diagonal supports are installed above the cab.
[0016] Furthermore, the side panels of the cargo box are connected to the lower edge of the tarpaulin to form a lower extended space, which is located below the side extended space and on the side of the cargo box of the truck.
[0017] Furthermore, the fluid channel support is filled with gas.
[0018] This solution also has the following effects:
[0019] 1. The vertical support is a portal frame structure. This portal frame structure provides effective vertical support for the tent fabric, while the horizontal connections ensure overall structural stability. The vertical support structure is simplified as much as possible to ensure rapid fluid filling while maximizing the tent's internal space.
[0020] 2. The lateral supports and tensile supports are on the same vertical plane so that the load received by the diagonal supports can be transferred to the vertical supports without generating other eccentric loads, thus optimizing the stress on the structure and ensuring the overall structural strength.
[0021] 3. This solution is suitable for use on trucks (pickup trucks). The vertical supports are set on the frame of the cargo box. After the fluid is filled, the diagonal supports extend towards the front of the vehicle. Finally, the diagonal supports extend to the top of the cab to form a front extension space, thereby maximizing the expansion of the space inside the tent.
[0022] The upper edge of the tent's lateral expansion space is connected to the upper edge of the vertical support, and the lower edge of the tent is connected to the upper edge of the truck's cargo box frame, maximizing the expansion of the tent's lateral space.
[0023] 4. The fluid channel support is filled with gas or liquid, preferably gas, as gas filling is faster.
[0024] 5. Since the tarpaulin in the front expansion space is also stored in the final storage area, there is more tarpaulin in the area corresponding to the tarpaulin in the front expansion space, and the inflation speed is slower. Therefore, the vertical supports away from the front expansion space are inflated and formed first, and then the excess gas is quickly transferred to the diagonal supports through the horizontal supports and tensile supports at the top, so as to facilitate the rapid formation of the overall support.
[0025] 6. The tarpaulin can be directly connected to the side panels of the cargo box, thereby expanding the side space of the cargo box and thus increasing the space inside the tent.
[0026] 7. This utility model can be used alone outdoors, or installed on a pickup truck, or used in conjunction with the open living compartment above, covering the living compartment. Attached Figure Description

[0035] Example
[0036] The implementation examples are basically as follows Figures 1-6 As shown: A tent structure includes a fluid channel support and a tent fabric 8. The fluid channel support is filled with gas, and the outer wall of the channel is made of a flexible material, such as fabric. All supports in this design are fluid channel supports, and the connection points between all fluid channel supports are open to gas. The air inlet of the fluid channel support is usually located at the bottom. The air inlet setting and inflation method are conventional and will not be described further.
[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the fluid channel support includes an inclined support 2 and two vertical supports 1. Both vertical supports 1 are portal structures, each including two columns 11. A crossbeam 12 is provided between the upper ends of the two columns 11. The inclined support 2 is an inclined portal structure.
[0038] Two vertical supports 1 are set in parallel. A transverse support 3 is provided between the middle positions of the crossbeams 12 of the two vertical supports 1. The lower end of the column 11 of the diagonal support 2 is connected to the lower part of the column 11 of the right vertical support 1. A tensile support 4 is provided between the middle of the crossbeam 12 of the right vertical support 1 and the middle of the crossbeam 12 of the diagonal support 2. Both the transverse support 3 and the tensile support 4 are long strips, and their center lines are located on the same vertical plane.
[0039] like Figure 6 As shown, the vertical support 1 is installed on the upper side of the side panel of the cargo box 92 of the truck, and the diagonal support 2 is located above the cab 91. The connection between the fluid channel support and the cargo box 92 is a conventional method such as heat fusion, which will not be described in detail. The tarpaulin 8 is supported on the diagonal support 2 and the two vertical supports 1. The tarpaulin 8 forms a main space 5, an extension space, and a front extension space 7 below it, as shown in the diagram. Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the main space 5 is the space between the two vertical supports 1, and the front extension space 7 is the space below the diagonal support 2, as follows. Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the extended space is located on the side of the main space 5. The upper end of the tarpaulin 8 of the side extended space 61 is connected to the upper edge of the vertical support 1. The lower end of the tarpaulin 8 extends to connect with the baffle on the side of the cargo box 92 or the living compartment mentioned in the background art, thereby forming a trapezoidal cross-section for the extended space. The extended space includes the side extended space 61 and the lower extended space 62. The side extended space 61 is triangular, and the lower extended space 62 is rectangular and located below the side extended space 61. After folding the extended space, as shown... Figure 5 As shown.
