Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of outdoor tent technology, specifically relating to a connection structure for the structural frame of an outdoor tent. Background Technology
[0002] Outdoor tents need to have good stability and the ability to shield from wind and rain. Most existing tents have a plug-in or folding frame structure, which requires a connector at the top to connect the frame and maintain its stability. However, existing connectors have many hinge points at the top, and the connectors are hooked or tied to the top of the tent. Therefore, rainwater can directly soak the tent through the connection points between the connector and the tent for a long time, eventually causing water to seep or drip at the top of the tent, affecting the lifespan of the tent. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a connection structure for the structural frame of an outdoor tent. By improving the connection structure, an umbrella-shaped rain shelter is added to the top of the connection. The rain shelter is connected to the connection through a threaded rod. The rain shelter can prevent rainwater from reaching the top of the tent, thereby avoiding water seepage or dripping from the top of the tent. At the same time, the rain shelter can also prevent rainwater from reaching the hinge point between the connection and the connecting rod, thereby preventing the hinge point of the connection and the connecting rod from rusting or being corroded by rainwater, thus improving the service life of the tent.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A connection structure for an outdoor tent frame includes a connector, a rain cover, and multiple connecting rods. The connecting rods are disposed on the side of the connector and hinged to it. The connecting rods are spaced apart, with the same spacing between adjacent connecting rods. The connecting rods are used to connect the tent's support frame. The rain cover is disposed above the connector and is used to protect the connector from rain.
[0006] Furthermore, the side of the connector is provided with a plurality of mounting grooves along its circumference, and the end of the connecting rod is provided with a hinge portion, which is disposed in the mounting groove.
[0007] Furthermore, a limiting shaft is provided in the mounting groove, and a through hole is provided on the hinge part of the connecting rod, and the connecting rod is hinged to the limiting shaft.
[0008] Furthermore, a threaded hole is provided at the geometric center of the top of the connector, and a threaded rod is provided on the rain cover, which is connected to the connector through the threaded rod.
[0009] Furthermore, the rain shelter has an umbrella-shaped structure, a partition is provided inside the rain shelter, and the threaded rod is disposed on the partition.
[0010] Furthermore, the threaded rod is located at the geometric center of the partition and is fixedly connected to the partition.
[0011] Furthermore, the top diameter of the connector matches the diameter of the partition.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0013] In this invention, by improving the structure of the connector, an umbrella-shaped rain shelter is added to the top of the connector. The rain shelter is threadedly connected to the connector via a threaded rod. The rain shelter can prevent rainwater from reaching the top of the tent, thus avoiding water seepage or dripping from the top of the tent. At the same time, the rain shelter can also prevent rainwater from reaching the hinge point between the connector and the connecting rod, thus preventing the hinge point of the connector and the connecting rod from rusting or being corroded by rainwater, thereby improving the service life of the tent.

[0020] 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.
[0021] Example 1:
[0022] A connection structure for the structural frame of an outdoor tent, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the tent includes a connector 1, a rain shelter 3, and multiple connecting rods 2. The connecting rods 2 are located on the side of the connector 1 and hinged to it. The connecting rods 2 can open and close within a certain angle on the side of the connector 1. The connecting rods 2 are spaced apart, with the same spacing between adjacent connecting rods 2. Preferably, the connector 1 has four connecting rods 2, which are threadedly connected to the tent's structural frame to support the tent fabric. The rain shelter 3 is located above the connector 1 and is used to protect the connector 1 from rain. Correspondingly arranged circumferential features are provided on the side of the connector 1. The device has multiple mounting slots 11, each being a rectangular groove structure. A connecting rod 2 is positioned within the mounting slot 11. The end of the connecting rod 2 has a plate-shaped hinge portion 21 with a curved surface and a through hole. A limiting shaft 12 is provided within the mounting slot 11. The hinge portion 21 of the connecting rod 2 is hinged to the limiting shaft 12, allowing the connecting rod 2 to rotate on the limiting shaft 12. Simultaneously, a gap is left between the end of the hinge portion 21 of the connecting rod 2 and the side wall of the mounting slot 11 to prevent the side wall of the mounting slot 11 from interfering with the rotation of the connecting rod 2.
[0023] Example 2:
[0024] This embodiment further defines the rainproof component 3 based on the above embodiment, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a threaded hole 13 is provided at the geometric center of the top of the connector 1, and a threaded rod 32 is provided on the rain cover 3. The rain cover 3 is connected to the connector 1 through the threaded rod 32. When the tent is folded up, the rain cover 3 can be removed and placed independently to facilitate the tent being put into a storage box or car trunk. The rain cover 3 has an umbrella-shaped structure, and a partition 31 is provided inside the rain cover 3. The threaded rod 32 is located at the geometric center of the partition 31 and is fixedly connected to the partition 31. The top diameter of the connector 1 matches the diameter of the partition 31. When the rain cover 3 is installed on the connector 1, after the rain cover 3 is rotated and fixed in place, the partition 31 abuts against the top of the connector 1. The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiment, and will not be described again here.
