Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding tent technology, and in particular to folding tent structure. Background Technology
[0002] As a portable shelter, tents play an important role in people's lives, travel, and outdoor activities. Functionally, tents provide people with windproof, rainproof, sunproof, and a certain degree of privacy. In camping activities, tents are important places for campers to rest and store their belongings. When working in the field, tents can serve as temporary work or living spaces. In some emergency rescue scenarios, tents can also be quickly set up as temporary shelters.
[0003] The support structure of a tent determines its stability and spatial shape. Common pole tents use metal poles or fiberglass poles to support the tent fabric. The setup process requires the poles to be properly assembled and connected to the tent fabric.
[0004] Existing pole tents are assembled using a tubular frame. During setup, the individual tubular components must be spliced together in a specific order and manner to form the tent's frame structure. Then, the tent fabric is covered on the frame and secured to prevent the tent from failing to be assembled and to ensure its basic functionality.
[0005] However, this method of assembly is quite difficult for non-professionals. The frame has a large number of pipes with different shapes and connection methods. During assembly, it is necessary to accurately identify and connect each pipe. If the operation is not done properly, it will not be able to be assembled correctly, affecting the stability of the tent. Moreover, the overall structure and balance of the tent must be considered during the assembly process, which is quite challenging for people without relevant experience. In addition, when disassembling, the pipes must also be disassembled one by one in a specific order. If the order is wrong, it will lead to damage to the pipes or difficulty in disassembly. This not only wastes time and energy, but also makes it impossible to complete the assembly or disassembly work in time in emergency situations, limiting the convenience of the tent in actual use. Utility Model Content

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An embodiment of this utility model provides a folding tent structure, including two fixed plates 1. The right end of the interior of each fixed plate 1 is rotatably connected to a threaded cylinder 3. The right end of each threaded cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to a Z-shaped rotating rod 4. The interior of each threaded cylinder 3 is threadedly connected to a threaded rod 5. The left end of each threaded rod 5 is rotatably connected to a sliding rod 6. The top right end of each fixed plate 1 is fixedly connected to a gate-shaped rotating rod 7. The top of each gate-shaped rotating rod 7 and the left end of each sliding rod 6 are rotatably connected to multiple X-shaped folding frames 8. The left and right ends of the front side of each of the multiple X-shaped folding frames 8 are rotatably connected to ring buckles 9. The interior of each of the multiple ring buckles 9 is penetrated by a fixed rod 10. A transverse connecting mechanism 2 is provided between the two front fixed rods 10 and the two rear fixed rods 10.
[0035] Specifically, when setting up a folding tent, the fixing plate 1 serves as the basic support component of the entire structure. Rotating the threaded cylinder 3, which is rotatably connected to the right end of the two fixing plates 1, allows rotation of the threaded cylinder 3 via a Z-shaped rotating rod 4 fixedly connected to its right end. The Z-shaped rotating rod 4 facilitates the user's application of force, making rotation of the threaded cylinder 3 easier. Since the threaded cylinder 3 and the threaded rod 5 are threadedly connected, when the threaded cylinder 3 rotates, the threaded rod 5 will move linearly under the action of the thread. Rotating the Z-shaped rotating rod 4 clockwise causes the threaded cylinder 3 to rotate clockwise. Rotating the threaded rod 5 clockwise will move it to the left, and vice versa. The left end of the threaded rod 5 is rotatably connected to the sliding rod 6. The movement of the threaded rod 5 will cause the sliding rod 6 to move synchronously. Simultaneously, the top of the portal-shaped rotating rod 7 and the left end of the sliding rod 6 are rotatably connected to multiple X-shaped folding frames 8. As the sliding rod 6 moves left and right, the X-shaped folding frames 8 will rotate and extend around the rotational connection point with the portal-shaped rotating rod 7 and the sliding rod 6. When the sliding rod 6 moves to the left, the X-shaped folding frames 8 gradually unfold, and multiple X-shaped folding frames... After the frames 8 are unfolded in sequence, the basic frame shape of the tent is initially formed. The front left and right ends of the X-shaped folding frames 8 are rotatably connected with buckles 9. The internal parts of multiple buckles 9 are fixed rods 10. The transverse connecting mechanism 2 between the two front fixed rods 10 and the two rear fixed rods 10 connects multiple X-shaped folding frames 8 in the front-to-back direction, enhancing the stability of the entire tent frame. Through cooperation with the fixed rods 10, the X-shaped folding frames 8 form a stable overall frame. When disassembling the folding tent, the operation process is reversed. Rotating the Z-shaped rotating rod 4 causes the threaded cylinder 3 to rotate in the opposite direction. The threaded rod 5 moves to the right, driving the sliding rod 6 to move to the right, and the X-shaped folding frames 8 gradually fold up. After that, the transverse connecting mechanism 2 is removed, and the entire tent structure can be disassembled and stored. Compared with the traditional steel pipe splicing design, the use of threaded transmission and the foldable characteristics of the X-shaped folding frames 8 makes the assembly and disassembly process simpler. It does not require complicated splicing operations, making it easier for ordinary people to get started and greatly improving the assembly speed. At the same time, its foldable design also makes it convenient for storage and carrying.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The transverse connecting mechanism 2 includes multiple limiting bolts 201, which pass through the upper middle and lower middle parts of multiple fixing rods 10 respectively. Transverse connecting rods 202 pass through the outside of each of the multiple fixing rods 10. Limiting nuts 203 are threaded to the ends of the multiple limiting bolts 201. The same X-shaped connecting cylinder 204 is engaged at the adjacent ends of the multiple transverse connecting rods 202. Multiple fixing bolts 205 pass through the opposite sides of the two X-shaped connecting cylinders 204. Fixing nuts 206 are threaded to the ends of the multiple fixing bolts 205.
[0037] Specifically, when setting up the tent, after the multiple X-shaped folding frames 8 are unfolded, they need to be connected into a stable whole using the transverse connecting mechanism 2. First, the transverse connecting rod 202 passes through multiple fixing rods 10. The fixing rods 10 are located in the rings 9 at the left and right ends of the front side of the X-shaped folding frame 8. Multiple limiting bolts 201 pass through the upper and lower middle parts of the fixing rods 10 respectively. By tightening the limiting nuts 203 connected to the threaded ends of the limiting bolts 201, the transverse connecting rod 202 is fixed to the fixing rod 10, preventing the transverse connecting rod 202 from sliding freely on the fixing rod 10, ensuring that the X-shaped folding frame 8 is initially and stably connected in the front-back direction. Then, one end of adjacent transverse connecting rods 202 is engaged in the same X-shaped connecting tube 204. Due to the special shape design of the X-shaped connecting tube 204, it can adapt to the connection requirements of multiple transverse connecting rods 202, making them engage together. Multiple fixing bolts 205 pass through the opposite side of the two X-shaped connecting tubes 204. 5. Pass the bolt through the corresponding holes on the X-shaped connecting tube 204 and the transverse connecting rod 202, and then thread the fixing nut 206 to the end of the fixing bolt 205. By tightening the fixing nut 206, the connection between the transverse connecting rod 202 and the X-shaped connecting tube 204 is further strengthened, so that multiple transverse connecting rods 202 form a stable whole structure in the front and back directions. When disassembling the tent, first unscrew the fixing nut 206, remove the fixing bolt 205 from the X-shaped connecting tube 204 and the transverse connecting rod 202, so that the transverse connecting rod 202 is separated from the X-shaped connecting tube 204. Then unscrew the limiting nut 203, remove the limiting bolt 201 from the fixing rod 10, so that the transverse connecting rod 202 can be removed from the fixing rod 10, which makes it convenient to fold and store the tent. This achieves a stable connection of multiple X-shaped folding frames 8, ensuring that the tent has good stability during use. At the same time, it is also easy to operate during disassembly, which meets the needs of quick setup and disassembly of folding tents.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The bottom of each of the two fixing plates 1 is fixedly connected with multiple fixing feet 11 at equal intervals. The top left and right sides of each fixing foot 11 are provided with fixing holes 12. Rivets 13 pass through the interior of each fixing hole 12. Multiple barbs 14 are fixedly connected to the exterior of each rivet 13. Conical discs 15 are fixedly connected to the top of each ring buckle 9 and the top of each rivet 13. The conical discs 15 are all tapered. Rubber sleeves 16 are fixedly connected to the right end of each of the two Z-shaped rotating rods 4. The exterior of each rubber sleeve 16 is frosted. The top of each limiting bolt 201 and the top of each fixing bolt 205 are hexagonal. The top of each limiting bolt 201 and the top of each fixing bolt 205 are anti-slip. The dimensions of the multiple transverse connecting rods 202 are all equal. The X-shaped connecting cylinder 204 is symmetrical in shape.
[0039] Specifically, the fixing feet 11 at the bottom of the fixing plate 1 are equidistantly fixed to the bottom of the two fixing plates 1, providing stable support points for the tent. The fixing holes 12 on the left and right sides of the top of the fixing feet 11 are used to fix the tent with rivets 13. When the rivets 13 are passed through the fixing holes 12, the multiple barbs 14 on the outside of the rivets 13 will embed into them when entering the ground or other supporting surfaces, increasing the friction with the supporting surface and preventing the fixing plates 1 from shifting during use, thus ensuring the overall stability of the tent. The conical discs 15, which are fixedly connected to the tops of the multiple rings 9 and the tops of the rivets 13, can distribute the force to a larger area when the tent is subjected to external force, enhancing the stability of the connection. At the same time, when fixing the tent to the supporting surface, the conical discs 15 help guide the rivets 13 to accurately enter the fixing holes 12, improving installation efficiency. The frosted finish on the outside of the rubber sleeve 16 fixed to the right end of the Z-shaped rotating rod 4 increases the friction between the user's hand and the rotating rod. The friction force allows the user to apply force more stably when rotating the Z-shaped lever 4 to control the threaded cylinder 3, preventing hand slippage and facilitating operation. In the transverse connection mechanism 2, the hexagonal design and anti-slip design of the top of the limiting bolt 201 and the fixing bolt 205 facilitate tool operation. When using tools such as wrenches, the hexagonal shape can better adapt and provide greater torque. The anti-slip design ensures that the tool will not easily slip during operation, guaranteeing the firmness of the connection. The multiple transverse connecting rods 202 are of equal size, which makes the connection of each part more uniform and standardized during assembly, facilitating installation and disassembly. The symmetrical design of the X-shaped connecting cylinder 204 allows it to transmit force evenly when connecting the transverse connecting rods 202, ensuring the consistent stability of the tent frame in all directions. Due to the hexagonal and anti-slip design of the top of the limiting bolt 201 and the fixing bolt 205, tools can be easily operated to smoothly unscrew the bolts.
[0040] Working Principle: The fixed plate 1 serves as the basic support component of the entire structure. Rotating the threaded cylinder 3, which is rotatably connected to the right end of the two fixed plates 1, allows rotation of the threaded cylinder 3 via a Z-shaped rotating rod 4 fixedly connected to its right end. The Z-shaped rotating rod 4 facilitates the user's application of force, making rotation of the threaded cylinder 3 easier. Since the threaded cylinder 3 and the threaded rod 5 are threadedly connected, when the threaded cylinder 3 rotates, the threaded rod 5 will move linearly under the action of the thread. If the Z-shaped rotating rod 4 is rotated clockwise, the threaded cylinder 3 will rotate clockwise, and the threaded rod 5 will move to the left; conversely, rotating it counterclockwise will cause the threaded rod 5 to move to the right. The left end of the threaded rod 5 is rotatably connected to a sliding rod 6. The movement of the threaded rod 5 will cause the sliding rod 6 to move synchronously. Simultaneously, multiple X-shaped folding frames 8 are rotatably connected to the top of the portal-shaped rotating rod 7 and the left end of the sliding rod 6. As the sliding rod 6 moves left and right, the X-shaped folding frames 8 will rotate around the portal-shaped rotating rod 7 and the sliding rod 6. The rotating connection point of rod 6 rotates and extends. When sliding rod 6 moves to the left, X-shaped folding frame 8 gradually unfolds. After multiple X-shaped folding frames 8 unfold in sequence, the basic frame shape of the tent is initially formed. The left and right ends of the front side of X-shaped folding frame 8 are rotatably connected with buckles 9. Fixed rods 10 pass through the inside of multiple buckles 9. The transverse connecting mechanism 2 set between the two front fixed rods 10 and the two rear fixed rods 10 connects multiple X-shaped folding frames 8 in the front-to-back direction, enhancing the stability of the entire tent frame. Through cooperation with the fixed rods 10, the X-shaped folding frame 8 forms a stable overall frame. When disassembling the folding tent, the operation process is reversed. Rotating Z-shaped rotating rod 4 causes threaded cylinder 3 to rotate in the opposite direction. Threaded rod 5 moves to the right, driving sliding rod 6 to move to the right. X-shaped folding frame 8 gradually folds up. After that, the transverse connecting mechanism 2 is removed, and the entire tent structure can be disassembled and stored.
[0041] Furthermore, after the multiple X-shaped folding frames 8 are unfolded, they need to be connected into a stable whole using the transverse connecting mechanism 2. First, the transverse connecting rod 202 passes through multiple fixed rods 10, which are located in the rings 9 at the left and right ends of the front side of the X-shaped folding frame 8. Multiple limiting bolts 201 pass through the upper and lower middle parts of the fixed rods 10 respectively. By tightening the limiting nuts 203 connected to the threaded ends of the limiting bolts 201, the transverse connecting rod 202 is fixed to the fixed rod 10, preventing the transverse connecting rod 202 from sliding freely on the fixed rod 10, ensuring that the X-shaped folding frame 8 is initially and stably connected in the front-back direction. Then, one end of adjacent transverse connecting rods 202 is engaged in the same X-shaped connecting cylinder 204. Due to the special shape design of the X-shaped connecting cylinder 204, it can adapt to the connection requirements of multiple transverse connecting rods 202, making them engage together. Multiple fixing bolts 205 pass through the X-shaped connecting tube 204 on the opposite side. The fixing bolts 205 pass through the corresponding holes on the X-shaped connecting tube 204 and the transverse connecting rod 202. Then, a fixing nut 206 is threaded to the end of the fixing bolt 205. By tightening the fixing nut 206, the connection between the transverse connecting rod 202 and the X-shaped connecting tube 204 is further strengthened, so that the multiple transverse connecting rods 202 form a stable integral structure in the front-back direction. When disassembling the tent, first unscrew the fixing nut 206 and remove the fixing bolts 205 from the X-shaped connecting tube 204 and the transverse connecting rod 202, so that the transverse connecting rod 202 is separated from the X-shaped connecting tube 204. Then, unscrew the limiting nut 203 and remove the limiting bolt 201 from the fixing rod 10. In this way, the transverse connecting rod 202 can be removed from the fixing rod 10, making it convenient to fold and store the tent.

Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
