Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of inflatable tent technology, specifically relating to a partitioned air column structure for an inflatable tent. Background Technology

[0002] As an essential tool for outdoor camping, tent sales have been increasing year by year with the improvement of people's living standards. Currently, most tents on the market use rigid materials such as metal as their structural frame, which has high support strength and can meet people's camping needs. However, due to the weight of traditional structural frames and their inability to bend, they are inconvenient to carry. In addition, some high-end tents use more advanced synthetic materials to make the structural frame to reduce the weight of the frame. Although this reduces the weight of the structural frame, the price of the product is relatively high. Inflatable tents can be rolled up and stored and are lighter in weight, making them a better choice for outdoor travel. However, most existing inflatable tents have a single air column structure, which does not provide good support for the overall tent fabric after inflation and has weak wind resistance, failing to meet the needs of experienced outdoor enthusiasts. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a segmented air column structure for an inflatable tent. The air column frame is wrapped and protected by a protective layer and a puncture-proof layer. Within the air column frame, there is a central air column and four edge air columns that are independent of each other and have their own inflation nozzles. The four edge air columns surround the central air column and are connected to it as an integrated structure. The four independent edge air columns can provide better support for the tent. Even if one edge air column leaks air, the other edge air columns can still provide good support, preventing the tent from tipping over in a short time. At the same time, it can provide the tent with stronger wind resistance.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A partitioned air column structure for an inflatable tent includes an air column frame, a protective layer, and a puncture-resistant layer, wherein the puncture-resistant layer is disposed between the protective layer and the air column frame; the air column frame includes a central air column and multiple edge air columns, the edge air columns forming an enclosing structure surrounding the central air column; each of the central air column and each of the edge air columns is provided with an independent inflation nozzle; the inflation nozzles of the edge air columns pass through the puncture-resistant layer and protrude from the surface of the protective layer; the inflation nozzle of the central air column passes through any edge air column and the puncture-resistant layer and protrudes from the surface of the protective layer.

[0006] Preferably, four edge air columns are provided outside the central air column, and the four edge air columns have the same volume.

[0007] Preferably, the cross-section of the central air column is circular, with a diameter of 5cm-8cm.

[0008] Preferably, adjacent edge air columns are separated by a partition to make them interconnected yet independent.

[0009] Preferably, the thickness of the protective layer is 1.4mm-2.8mm.

[0010] Preferably, the protective layer is made of silicone-coated nylon fabric.

[0011] Preferably, the thickness of the puncture-resistant layer is 0.9mm-2.6mm.

[0012] Preferably, the puncture-resistant layer is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fabric.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0020] Example 1:

[0021] A partitioned air column structure for an inflatable tent, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the structure includes an air column frame 3, a protective layer 1, and a puncture-resistant layer 2. The puncture-resistant layer 2 is disposed between the protective layer 1 and the air column frame 3, and is bonded to both the surface of the air column frame 3 and the protective layer 1. The air column frame 3 includes a central air column 31 and multiple edge air columns 32. The edge air columns 32 form an enclosing structure that surrounds the central air column 31 and forms an integral structure with it. Each of the central air column 31 and each of the edge air columns 32 is provided with an independent inflation nozzle 4. The inflation nozzle 4 of the edge air columns 32 protrudes from the surface of the protective layer 1 through the puncture-resistant layer 2. The inflation nozzle 4 of the central air column 31 passes through any edge air column 32 and the puncture-resistant layer 2 and is located within the protective layer 1. Layer 1 has a protruding surface. Each independent edge air column 32 and the individual central air column 31 are inflated using an air pump to stand the entire air column frame 3, supporting the tent. The tent's outer side is tightened with securing ropes. The protective layer 1 is preferably 1.8mm thick and is made of silicone-coated nylon fabric. Silicone-coated nylon fabric has strong scratch and abrasion resistance, meeting the requirements of most outdoor environments. The puncture-resistant layer 2 is 1.4mm thick and is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fabric. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fabric has strong puncture resistance and extensibility, protecting the air column frame 3 and preventing it from being punctured and leaking air.

[0022] Example 2:

[0023] This embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further defines the edge air column 32 and the central air column 31, such as... Figure 1 As shown, four edge air columns 32 are arranged outside the central air column 31, and the four edge air columns 32 have the same volume. The central air column 31 has a circular cross-section with a diameter of 7cm. Adjacent edge air columns 32 are separated by partitions 321 to ensure that they are connected to each other but independent of each other. The partitions 321 are used to ensure the independence of the edge air columns 32. Multiple partitions 321 separate the edge air columns 32 to further improve the stability and wind resistance of the air column frame 3. The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiment, and will not be described again here.
