Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to outdoor products, and more specifically to a tent. Background Technology

[0002] Tents, as an outdoor leisure product, are widely used in various occasions. A typical tent frame consists of multiple sets of uprights connected to a top pole, with the top pole providing top support, and adjacent uprights connected to extendable and retractable side supports.

[0003] Hunting tents are used in the wild, forests, and bushes. Existing gazebo-style tents have complex and bulky structures, and ordinary hunting tents use multiple sets of support poles to support the tent fabric, which is cumbersome and slow to set up, making them unsuitable for use.

[0004] To address the issues of cumbersome and slow installation and setup, existing hunting tents, such as the one disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No. 200920196862.0, include a tent fabric and a tent frame. The tent frame comprises five pyramidal support surfaces (top and four sides). Each pyramidal support surface consists of a connector and four support rods of equal length. The heads of the four support rods are all inserted into the connector to form a pyramidal support surface. The tent fabric is stretched taut across the tent frame. At the intersection of the pyramidal support surfaces, the tails of the support rods are inserted into the tent fabric. The heads of the support rods are hinged to the connectors. This type of tent is easy to install; during assembly, simply pulling the connectors is sufficient to raise the tent.

[0005] However, the aforementioned tents are hinged to the joint in the middle by multiple (four) support poles on each side. The canopy on the sides is restricted by the multiple support poles, and the space for opening doors or windows is very small. It is very convenient for users to enter and exit the tent, but it is also very inconvenient to move items inside the tent, which limits its use.

[0006] In view of this, the designer has deeply conceived and actively researched and tested improvements to address the many shortcomings and inconveniences caused by the imperfections in the existing tent structure design, and developed this creation. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tent with a simple structure that can be quickly set up and folded up, and is more flexible and convenient to use.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is:

[0009] A tent includes a support frame and a tent fabric fitted and fixed to the support frame. The tent fabric includes a top tent fabric and several side tent fabrics. The support frame includes a top support and several sets of side supports. The top support includes at least three top poles. Each side support includes a side upright and at least two diagonal support poles. The upper ends of the side uprights are respectively located at the outer ends of each top pole and extend downward. The lower ends of the side uprights and the upper ends of each diagonal support pole are pivotally connected to a side connector. The lower ends of the diagonal support poles are supported on the ground. The side uprights and diagonal support poles between adjacent side supports form a support frame for supporting the side tent fabrics.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner ends of each top rod in the top support abut against the middle of the top tarpaulin or are pivotally connected to a top connector.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner end of the top rod is pivotally connected to a top connector. The portions of the top rod, side uprights, and diagonal support rods that are pivotally connected to the top and side connectors are defined as connecting segments. The connecting segments are pivotally connected to pivot grooves provided in the top and side connectors, respectively. The pivot grooves are circumferentially opened according to the number and connection angle of the corresponding connecting segments. After rotation, the connecting segments pivotally connected in the pivot grooves form an unfolding and a folding locking position. When the top and side connectors are pulled outward, the top rod, side uprights, and diagonal support rods change from folding locking positions to unfolding locking positions. The top and side tarpaulins are supported and tightened by the unfolded top and side supports.

[0012] Furthermore, the top connector and the side connector each include a connecting cover, a pivot groove is opened on the connecting cover, the connecting section is inserted into the pivot groove and rotatably connected to the pivot groove by a shaft pin, the middle of the connecting cover has an upper baffle at the inner end of each pivot groove, the upper baffle forms an upper locking point when the connecting section is inserted into the pivot groove, the outer end of the pivot groove has an outer baffle on the outer edge of the connecting cover forming a lower locking point; when the connecting section is unfolded and locked, it is obliquely inserted into the pivot groove and locked between the upper locking point and the lower locking point, and when it is folded and locked, it is vertically inserted into the pivot groove and the left and right sides are respectively stopped and limited by the upper locking and the lower locking.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting section forms a sleeve segment at the ends of the top rod, side uprights, and diagonal support rod. The pins pass vertically through the sleeve segment. The bottom of the connecting cover is provided with a through hole for the connecting section to pass through and to enable its unfolding movement, as well as a positioning hole for each pin to be inserted and limited. The through hole and the positioning hole are connected to the pivot groove. The top connector and the side connector also include a base plate that can stop the connecting section located on the bottom surface of the connecting cover. The base plate is located at the bottom of the through hole and the positioning hole.

[0014] Furthermore, the top connector and side connector are also equipped with pull parts that can protrude outside the tarpaulin.

[0015] Furthermore, a telescopic sleeve is fitted onto the upper end of the side upright and / or the lower end of the diagonal support rod. A spring is installed inside the telescopic sleeve to press against the upper end of the side upright or the lower end of the diagonal support rod. The telescopic sleeve is fitted into the tarpaulin along with the side upright or diagonal support rod.

[0016] Furthermore, each side support includes a side upright and two diagonal support rods. The two diagonal support rods are symmetrical and, when unfolded, are inclined to support both sides of the side upright, and the lower ends of the diagonal support rods between adjacent side supports are close to each other.

[0017] Furthermore, in each side support, two inclined support rods are inclinedly supported on both sides of the side uprights, and at least one inclined support rod located in the middle between the two inclined support rods is defined as the middle inclined support rod. The middle inclined support rod is pivotally connected to the side connector and is supported on the ground when deployed.

[0018] Furthermore, the number of side supports corresponds to the number of top rods in the top support. Each top rod is sleeved and fixed in the top tarpaulin. The side uprights are sleeved and fixed in the two sides of each side tarpaulin and support to form the side edges of the tarpaulin. The diagonal support rods between adjacent side supports support the bottom of the side tarpaulin.

[0019] Furthermore, the side tarpaulin includes a main side tarpaulin and a side connecting tarpaulin. The main side tarpaulin is located between the two uprights of the adjacent two side supports and extends downward to the two diagonal support poles below the two uprights. At least one main side tarpaulin has a notch to form the entrance and exit of the tent. The side connecting tarpaulin is located between the two main side tarpaulins and connected to the outside of each diagonal support pole, and the bottom edge of the side connecting tarpaulin contacts the ground.

[0020] With the above structure, the tent of this utility model can be quickly opened and folded during use. It has a simple structure, is easy to install and set up, and is convenient to operate and use outdoors. In addition to the convenient and quick operation of setting up and taking down the tent, it has changed the design of traditional tents. The sides of the tent have a large area and no tent poles to block them. Large entrances and exits can be designed directly on the side tent fabric according to the needs of use, making the use of the tent more flexible and convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0048] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.

[0049] This utility model discloses a tent, including a support frame and a tent fabric fitted and fixed to the support frame. The tent fabric unfolds and retracts integrally with the support frame. The support frame supports the tent fabric, and when unfolded, the taut tent fabric simultaneously drives the support frame to unfold into the overall shape of the tent. Figures 1 to 11 As shown in the first embodiment of the utility model, the support frame includes a top support a and several sets of side supports b. The top support a includes at least three top rods 1. In this embodiment, the inner end of each top rod 1 is pivotally connected to a top connector 2, resulting in better stability and wind resistance at the top of the tent. Each side support b includes a side upright 3 and at least two diagonal support rods 4, forming a stable lateral support. In this embodiment, the top support includes four top rods 1, and each side support b includes a side upright and two diagonal support rods 4. The tent includes a top tent 6 and several side tents 7 (the tent can be empty at the bottom of the frame or the bottom can be set according to the usage requirements). When the tent is unfolded, the upper ends of the side uprights 3 are respectively located at the outer ends of each top pole 1 and extend downwards. The lower ends of the side uprights 3 and the upper ends of each diagonal support pole 4 are simultaneously pivotally connected to the side connector 5. The lower ends of the diagonal support poles 4 are supported on the ground, so that the side frame b can be supported on the ground. The side uprights 3 and diagonal support poles 4 between adjacent side frames form a support frame for supporting the side tents 7, so that each side of the tent can be supported and erected at the same time.

[0050] The inner end of each top rod 1 is pivotally connected to a top connector 2, making one end of the top rod 1, side upright rod 3, and inclined support rod 4 a connecting end. The end portions of the top rod 1, side upright rod 3, and inclined support rod 4 that are pivotally connected to the top connector 2 and side connector 5 are defined as connecting segments c. The structures of the top connector 2 and side connector 5 are similar, both used to pivotally connect the ends of corresponding rods. Each connecting segment is pivotally connected to a pivot groove provided in the top connector 2 and side connector 5. The pivot groove is circumferentially opened according to the number of corresponding connecting segments and the connection angle. Furthermore, each connecting segment pivotally connected in the pivot groove forms an unfolding locking position and a folding locking position after rotation (e.g., ...). Figure 7 (As shown in the unfolded and folded states), the top pole 1, side pole 3, and diagonal support pole 4 can switch from a folding latch to an unfolding latch when the top connector 2 and side connector 5 are pulled outwards. This allows the poles connected to the top connector 2 and side connector 5 to open and unfold, and the top tent fabric 6 and side tent fabric 7 are supported and tightened by the unfolded top bracket a and side bracket b, thus opening the tent. Conversely, pushing the top connector 2 and side connector 5 inwards causes the poles connected to the top connector 2 and side connector 5 to retract from the open state to the folded state. The top tent fabric 6 and side tent fabric 7 are then retracted by the retracted top bracket a and side bracket b, allowing the tent to be quickly folded.

[0051] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the top connector 2 includes a connecting cover 21, and four pivot grooves 22 are formed on the connecting cover 21. The four pivot grooves 22 in the top connector 2 are radially distributed at equal angles. The connecting segment c is inserted into the pivot groove 22 and rotatably connected to the pivot groove 22 through a shaft pin 23. The middle part of the connecting cover 21 has an upper baffle 211 at the inner end of each pivot groove. The upper baffle 211 forms an upper locking point A1 when the connecting segment c is inserted into the pivot groove 22. The outer end of the pivot groove 22 has an outer edge 24 on the outer edge of the connecting cover 21, forming a lower locking point A2. When the connecting segment c is unfolded and locked in place ( Figure 7 The first diagram shows the horizontally inclined insertion into the pivot groove 22, which is locked between the upper locking point A1 and the lower locking point A2. When folded and locked in place... Figure 7 The third diagram state is located vertically inserted in the pivot groove 22 and is blocked and limited by the upper locking position A1 and the lower locking position A2 on the left and right sides respectively.

[0052] In this example, the side connector 5 is centrally connected to the side upright 3 and two diagonal support rods 4, such as... Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the side connector 5 has three pivot grooves that connect the side upright 3 and the two inclined support rods 4 respectively. The side connector 5 includes a connecting cover 51, and three pivot grooves 52 are formed on the connecting cover 51. The three pivot grooves 52 are distributed according to the required connection angle between the side upright 3 and the two inclined support rods 4. The connecting segment c is inserted into the pivot groove 52 and rotatably connected to the pivot groove 52 through a shaft pin 53. The middle part of the connecting cover 51 has an upper baffle 511 at the inner end of each pivot groove. The upper baffle 511 forms an upper locking point A1 when the connecting segment c is inserted into the pivot groove 52. The outer end of the pivot groove 52 has an outer baffle 54 on the outer edge of the connecting cover 51, forming a lower locking point A2. When the connecting segment c is unfolded and locked in place ( Figure 7 The first diagram shows the horizontally inclined insertion into the pivot groove 52, which is locked between the upper locking point A1 and the lower locking point A2. When folded and locked in place... Figure 7 The third diagram state is located vertically inserted in the pivot groove 52 and is blocked and limited by the upper locking position A1 and the lower locking position A2 on the left and right sides respectively.

[0053] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, for the pivot connection of the top rod 1, the side upright rod 3, and the inclined support rod 4 in the top connector 2 or the side connector 5, the connecting section c can be made to form a sleeve section that can be sleeved on the end of the rod by the end of the top rod 1, the side upright rod 3, and the inclined support rod 4. Pins 23 and 53 pass vertically through the sleeve section. The bottom of the connecting cover 21 and 51 is provided with through holes 25 and 55 for the connecting section c to pass through and to allow for unfolding, as well as positioning holes 251 and 551 for each pin 23 and 53 to be inserted and limited. The through holes 25 and 55 and the positioning holes 251 and 551 are connected to the pivot grooves 22 and 52. The pins 23 and 53 are vertically limited in the pivot grooves 22 and 52 and rotate relative to the pivot grooves 22 and 52. The top connector 2 and the side connector 5 also include bottom plates 26 and 56 that can stop the connecting section c, located on the bottom surface of the connecting cover 21 and 51. The bottom plates 26 and 56 are located at the bottom of the through holes 25 and 55 and the positioning holes 251 and 551. The bottom plates form a bottom limit and are designed to be separate from the connecting cover, which allows the end of the corresponding rod to be pivotally connected to the top connector or the side connector for limitation.

[0054] Furthermore, to facilitate operation during setup and dismantling, the top connector 2 and side connector 5 are also equipped with pull members 8 that can protrude outside the tarpaulin. The pull member 8 may include a pull ring 81 fixed to the connecting cover. In this embodiment, the pull ring 81 is mounted on a screw 82, which connects the connecting covers 21, 51 to the base plates 26, 56. A pull rope can also be connected to the pull ring 81, allowing the pull ring to be pulled, facilitating the pulling action of the top or side connector.

[0055] Combination Figures 8 to 11As shown, in this embodiment, each side support b includes a side upright 3 and two diagonal support rods 4. The two diagonal support rods 4 are symmetrical and are inclined to support the sides of the side upright 3 when unfolded. The upper ends of the two diagonal support rods 4 abut each other when unfolded, and the lower ends of the diagonal support rods 4 between adjacent side supports b are close to each other, forming an intersecting abutment, thereby stabilizing the sides of the tent. In the top tent 6 and the side tent 7, each top rod 1, side upright 3, and diagonal support rod 4 is provided with a cloth sleeve (not shown in the figure) for the rods to pass through, so that the tent is unfolded and tightened together when the tent is unfolded. The top connector 2 and the side connector 5 protrude from the outside of the tent 6. Figure 11 (This is for illustrative purposes only and is not shown in this part), thus facilitating the unfolding and folding of the tent.

[0056] Since the number of side supports b corresponds to the number of top rods 1 in the top support a, each top rod 1 is sleeved and fixed in the top tent 6. The side uprights 3 are sleeved and fixed in the two sides of each side tent 7 and support the side edges of the tent. The diagonal support rods 4 between adjacent side supports b support the bottom of the side tent. The side tent 7 may include a main side tent 71 and a side connecting cloth 72. The main side tent 71 is located between the two uprights 3 of adjacent side supports a and extends downward to the two diagonal support rods 4 below the two uprights 3. At least one main side tent 71 has a notch 711 to form the entrance and exit of the tent, or there may be windows on the side of the tent. The side connecting cloth 72 is located between two main side tents 71 and connected to the outside of each diagonal support rod 4. The bottom edge of the side connecting cloth 72 contacts the ground, so that the tent is more stable when it is unfolded and has a more three-dimensional, full and beautiful shape.

[0057] Furthermore, combined with Figure 18 As shown, a telescopic sleeve 91 can be fitted onto the upper end of the side upright 3 and / or the lower end of the diagonal support rod 4. A spring 92 is installed inside the telescopic sleeve 91, pressing against the upper end of the side upright 3 or the lower end of the diagonal support rod 4. The telescopic sleeve 91 is fitted inside the tent fabric along with the side upright 3 or the diagonal support rod 4. The elastic extension and contraction of the spring 92 creates an elastic segment at the free end of the side upright and diagonal support rod. When the tent is unfolded, the fabric tension can be automatically adjusted; when the tent is folded up, it can also make the side upright 3 and diagonal support rod 4 easier to fold.

[0058] Combination Figures 12 to 17As shown, this is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that in each side support b, two inclined support rods 4 are respectively inclinedly supported on both sides of the side uprights 3 and can extend laterally to support the bottom of the side tent fabric. Furthermore, at least one inclined support rod located in the middle, defined as a central inclined support rod 41, can be provided between the two inclined support rods 4. In this embodiment, a central inclined support rod 41 is provided between the two inclined support rods 4, and the upper end of the central inclined support rod 41 is pivotally connected to the side connector 5. When unfolded, the central inclined support rod 41 is supported on the ground and located between the two inclined support rods 4. Since the two inclined support rods 4 below the side uprights 3 in the same side support b are inclinedly supported to the two adjacent sides, by adding an upper central inclined support rod 41 to the two inclined support rods 4 located on both sides below the side support, a central support can be formed between the two inclined support rods 4, improving support stability. The support of the side support b is more stable, and the overall support of the tent frame is more stable.

[0059] In this embodiment, each side support b includes three inclined support rods. Two inclined support rods 4 are located on both sides of the side upright 3, and an inclined support rod located in the middle between the two inclined support rods 4 is defined as the middle inclined support rod 41. Correspondingly, as Figure 13 , Figure 14 As shown, in this embodiment, the side connector 5 is provided with four pivot grooves 52 corresponding to the ends of the side upright 3, the two inclined support rods 4 and the middle inclined support rod 41. The structure of the side upright 3, the two inclined support rods 4 and the middle inclined support rod 41 pivotally connected in the side connector 5 is the same as in the previous embodiment. The only difference in the structure of the side connector 5 is the adjustment of the number and distribution angle of the pivot grooves 52, which will not be described in detail here.

[0060] Combination Figure 15 , Figure 16 As shown, an upper central diagonal support rod 41 is added to the two diagonal support rods 4 on both sides below the support frame, making the overall support of the tent frame more stable. Figure 17 As shown, in the corresponding side tent fabric 7, the side connecting fabric 72 is located between the two main side fabrics 71 and connected to the outside of each diagonal support rod 4. The side connecting fabric 72 corresponds to the unfolded shape after being supported by the central diagonal support rod 41.

[0061] like Figure 19 As shown, this is the third embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that in this embodiment, the inner ends of each top rod 1 in the top support a directly abut against the middle of the top tarpaulin (not shown in the figure). Since each top rod 1 is sleeved within the fabric sleeve in the top tarpaulin 6 for the rods to pass through, the top tarpaulin 6 is also supported and tightened by the unfolded top support a (see reference). Figure 11(As shown in the diagram), the inner ends of each top rod 1 simultaneously abut against a central point. This mutual abutment prevents the central part from collapsing. The tent top can also be extended and retracted without the inner ends of each top rod 1 needing to be pivotally connected to the top connector.

[0062] With the above structure, when the tent needs to be set up, simply pull the top connector 2 (if the top connector 2 is present) and the pull ring 8 (pull ring 81) of the side connector 5 outwards in sequence. The top support a and several sets of side supports b will open or unfold, that is, the support frame will unfold and the tent fabric will be tightened (the tent can then be further secured using tow ropes and ground pegs), thus quickly setting up the tent. After use, the pull ring 81 can be pushed inwards, and each side support b and the top support a can be changed from the unfolded state to the folded state, allowing the tent to be folded up. The tent can be set up and folded up conveniently and quickly. This utility model, based on the convenient and quick unfolding and folding operation, changes the design of traditional tents. The sides of the tent have a large area and no tent poles obstructing them, allowing for the design of large entrances and exits directly on the side tent fabric according to usage needs, making the tent more flexible and convenient to use.

[0063] The above embodiments and figures are not intended to limit the product form and style of this utility model. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of this utility model.
