Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to outdoor products, and more specifically to a tent structure. 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] Existing gazebo-style tent structures are complex and cumbersome. Increasing the tent's space and roof area requires adding more side poles and top poles, especially for the roof, which often uses radial top poles (similar to umbrellas). Because there's no support structure between adjacent top poles for the tent fabric, the fabric is prone to collapse, and the poles don't provide sufficient support. In rainy weather, the collapsed areas can easily accumulate water, affecting normal use. Increasing the length of the top poles to increase the roof area can also lead to instability during use. Furthermore, with the increase in the number of poles, telescopic poles are needed, and connecting cross poles are often required between adjacent sides of the tent. The top pole also needs to be designed as a foldable pole. Therefore, the installation and setup of the tent is cumbersome and slow during deployment and folding.

[0004] Tents that can be quickly and easily set up are generally simple, small tents, such as the hunting tent disclosed in Chinese patent application number 200920196862.0. This tent includes a tent fabric and a tent frame. The tent frame comprises five pyramidal support surfaces (the top surface and four sides), each consisting of a connector and four support poles of equal length. Such tents are easy to install; simply pulling the connector is sufficient to raise the tent. However, because each side is hinged to the connector in the middle by multiple (four) support poles, the space for opening doors or windows is very small. While it's convenient for the user to enter and exit the tent, the overall space is limited.

[0005] 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

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tent structure that is simple in its overall structure, can be quickly set up and folded up, is flexible and convenient to use, and greatly increases the top area and overall space of the tent.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is:

[0008] A tent structure 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 frame pole located on the top surface of the tent and several sets of side supports located on the vertical surface of the tent. The top frame pole includes an inner support and multiple sets of outer supports. The inner support includes at least three inner top poles, the inner ends of which are converged together, and the outer ends of each inner top pole are pivotally connected to a top connector. Each set of outer supports includes at least one first outer top pole pivotally connected to each top connector and extending towards the side supports. 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 the first outer top poles and extend downwards. 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.

[0009] Furthermore, in the top support, the inner ends of each inner top rod abut against the middle of the top tarpaulin or are pivotally connected to a central connector, and each inner top rod is distributed radially at equal angles.

[0010] Furthermore, each set of external supports is connected to the top connector and corresponds to the outside of each inner top rod. Each set of external supports includes two first outer top rods symmetrically located on both sides of the inner top rod.

[0011] Furthermore, in each set of external supports, a second external support rod is pivotally connected between each first external support rod and the inner support rod. Both second external support rods are pivotally connected to the top connector and extend towards the adjacent external support. The two second external support rods are symmetrical and are inclined to support the inner side of the first external support rod when unfolded. The outer ends of the two second external support rods between adjacent sets of external supports are close to each other.

[0012] 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.

[0013] 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.

[0014] Furthermore, the portions of the inner top rod, the first outer top rod, and the second outer top rod that are pivotally connected to the top connector, as well as the portions of the side uprights and diagonal support rods that are pivotally connected to the side connectors, are defined as connecting segments. The connecting segments are pivotally connected to the pivot grooves provided in the top connector and the side connectors, respectively. The pivot grooves are circumferentially opened according to the number of corresponding connecting segments and the connection angle. After rotation, the connecting segments pivotally connected in the pivot grooves form an unfolding lock position and a folding lock position. When the top connector and the side connector are pulled outward, the inner top rod, the first outer top rod, the second outer top rod, the side uprights, and the diagonal support rods change from folding lock positions to unfolding lock positions. The top tarpaulin and the side tarpaulins are supported and tightened by the unfolded top frame rods and side supports.

[0015] 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.

[0016] 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.

[0017] Furthermore, each inner top rod, the first outer top rod, and the second outer top rod are all sleeved and fixed in the top tent fabric. The top tent fabric includes an inner top surface supported by the inner top rod and an outer top surface supported by the first and second outer top rods. Multiple side tent fabrics enclose the tent facade. Side uprights are sleeved and fixed in the two sides of each side tent fabric and support to form the side edges of the tent fabric. The diagonal support rods between adjacent side supports support the bottom of the side tent fabrics. At least one side tent fabric has a notch to form the entrance and exit of the tent. The top connector and the side connector also have a pull member that can protrude outside the tent fabric.

[0018] 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 for outdoor operation and use. While making the tent easy and quick to set up and take down, it changes the design of traditional tents. There are no tent poles obstructing the sides of the tent, and large entrances and exits can be designed directly on the side tent fabric according to the needs of use. The use of the tent is more flexible and convenient, and the top surface area and overall space of the tent are greatly increased after it is unfolded, which can meet a wider range of functions.

[0047] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.

[0048] This utility model discloses a tent structure, 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, and the support frame supports the tent fabric. When unfolded, the taut tent fabric simultaneously drives the support frame to unfold into the overall shape of the tent. The support frame includes a top frame pole located on the top surface of the tent and several sets of side supports c located on the sides of the tent. The top frame pole in this utility model includes an inner support a and multiple sets of outer supports b. The following description is based on specific embodiments.

[0049] Combination Figures 1 to 3As shown in the first embodiment of the utility model, the top support pole includes an inner support a and multiple sets of outer supports b. The inner support a includes at least three inner top rods 1, and the number of sets of outer supports b corresponds to the number of inner top rods. The inner ends of each inner top rod 1 are usually located at the center of the tent top after being gathered together. In this embodiment, the inner support a includes three inner top rods 1, and the inner ends of each inner top rod 1 abut against the middle of the top tent fabric, and the inner top rods 1 are radially distributed at equal angles. Of course, the inner ends of each inner top rod 1 can also be pivotally connected to a central connector (the folding direction of the inner top rod connected to the central connector is opposite to the folding direction in the top connector). In this embodiment, the inner ends of each inner top rod 1 abut against a central point, and the mutual abutment can also prevent the middle from collapsing, simplifying the structure. The tent top can be unfolded and retracted even without the inner ends of each inner top rod 1 being pivotally connected to the central connector at the top center.

[0050] Each inner push rod 1 has its outer end pivotally connected to a top connector 2. Each set of outer supports b includes at least one first outer push rod 3 pivotally connected to each top connector 2, extending in the direction of the side support c. In this embodiment, each set of outer supports b is connected to the top connector 2 and corresponds to the outside of each inner push rod 1. Each set of outer supports b includes two first outer push rods 3 symmetrically located on both sides of the inner push rod 1.

[0051] Each side support c includes a side upright 4 and at least two diagonal support rods 5. The upper ends of the side upright 4 are located at the outer ends of a first outer top rod 3 and extend downwards. The lower ends of the side upright 4 and the upper ends of each diagonal support rod 5 are pivotally connected to a side connector 6. The lower ends of the diagonal support rods 5 are supported on the ground. The side upright 4 and diagonal support rods 5 between adjacent side supports c form a support frame for supporting the side tarpaulin. Each side support c may include a side upright 4 and two diagonal support rods 5. The two diagonal support rods 5 are symmetrical and, when unfolded, are inclined to support the sides of the side upright 4. The lower ends of the diagonal support rods between adjacent side supports c are close to each other, forming an intersecting abutment, thereby stabilizing the sides of the tent. In this embodiment, in each side support c, two inclined support rods 5 are inclinedly supported on both sides of the side uprights 4. Between these two inclined support rods 5, at least one inclined support rod located in the middle is defined as a central inclined support rod 51. In this embodiment, a central inclined support rod 51 is provided between the two inclined support rods. The upper end of the central inclined support rod 51 is pivotally connected to the side connector 6. When deployed, the central inclined support rod 51 supports the ground. By adding an upper central inclined support rod 51 to the two inclined support rods 5 located on both sides below the side support, a central support can be formed between the two inclined support rods 5, improving support stability, making the side support c more stable, and the overall tent frame support more stable.

[0052] In this invention, to make the tent deployment and take-off faster, the corresponding poles are connected to the top connector 2 and the side connector 6, which facilitates the transition between two states. Combined with... Figures 4 to 9As shown, the portion of the inner top rod 1 and the first outer top rod 3 (and the second outer top rod 7 in the second and fourth embodiments) that are pivotally connected to the top connector 2, and the portion of the side upright rod 4 and the diagonal support rod 5 (including the middle diagonal support rod 51) that are pivotally connected to the side connector 6 are defined as connecting segments d. The structures of the top connector 2 and the side connector 6 are similar, both used to pivotally connect the ends of the corresponding rods. Each connecting segment d is pivotally connected in the pivot groove provided in the top connector 2 and the side connector 6, and the pivot groove is circumferentially opened according to the number of corresponding connecting segments and the connection angle.

[0053] Furthermore, the connecting segment d, which is pivotally connected in the pivot groove, rotates to form an unfolding locking position and a folding locking position (e.g., Figure 9 (shown in unfolded and retracted states). The inner top rod 1, the first outer top rod 3, (in other embodiments, the second outer top rod 7 is also included), the side upright rod 4, and the diagonal support rod 5 (including the middle diagonal support rod 51) are converted from folded positions to unfolded positions when the top connector 2 and the side connector 6 are pulled outwards. The top tarpaulin and the side tarpaulin are supported and tightened by the unfolded top frame rod and the side support.

[0054] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the top connector 2 in this embodiment includes a connecting cover 21. The connecting cover 21 has three pivot grooves 22 for pivotally connecting the ends of the inner push rod 1 and the two first inner push rods 3. The three pivot grooves 22 in the top connector 2 are radially distributed at equal angles. The connecting segment d is inserted into the pivot groove 22 and rotatably connected to it via 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 d 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 d is unfolded and locked in place... Figure 9 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 9 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.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, in this example, the side connector 6 is centrally connected to the side upright 4 and three diagonal support rods (diagonal support rods 5 on both sides and a central diagonal support rod 51), as... Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the side connector 6 in this embodiment has four pivot grooves 62. The side connector 6 includes a connecting cover 61, and four pivot grooves 62 are formed on the connecting cover 61. The four pivot grooves 62 are distributed according to the required connection angle between the side upright 4 and the three inclined support rods. The connecting segment d is inserted into the pivot groove 62 and rotatably connected to the pivot groove 62 through a shaft pin 63. The middle part of the connecting cover 61 has an upper baffle 611 at the inner end of each pivot groove. The upper baffle 611 forms an upper locking point A1 when the connecting segment d is inserted into the pivot groove 62. The outer end of the pivot groove 62 has an outer edge 64 on the outer edge of the connecting cover 61, forming a lower locking point A2. When the connecting segment d is unfolded and locked in place ( Figure 9 The first diagram shows the horizontally inclined insertion into the pivot groove 62, which is locked between the upper locking point A1 and the lower locking point A2. When folded and locked in place... Figure 9 The third diagram state is located vertically inserted in the pivot groove 62 and is blocked and limited by the upper locking position A1 and the lower locking position A2 on the left and right sides respectively.

[0056] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, for the pivot connection of the inner top rod 1, the first outer top rod 3 (and the second outer top rod 7 in other embodiments), the side upright rod 4 and the inclined support rod 5 (including the middle inclined support rod 51) in the top connector 2 or the side connector 6, the connecting segment d can be made to form a sleeve segment that can be sleeved on the end of the rod by forming a sleeve segment at the end of each rod. Pins 23 and 63 pass vertically through the sleeve section. The bottom of the connecting covers 21 and 61 is provided with through holes 25 and 65 for the connecting section d to pass through and to allow for unfolding, as well as positioning holes 251 and 651 for each pin 23 and 63 to be inserted and limited. The through holes 25 and 65 and the positioning holes 251 and 651 are connected to the pivot grooves 22 and 62. The pins 23 and 63 are vertically limited in the pivot grooves 22 and 62 and rotate relative to the pivot grooves 22 and 62. The top connector 2 and the side connector 6 also include bottom plates 26 and 66 that can stop the connecting section d, located on the bottom surface of the connecting covers 21 and 61. The bottom plates 26 and 66 are located at the bottom of the through holes 25 and 65 and the positioning holes 251 and 651. The bottom plates form a bottom limit and are designed to be separate from the connecting covers, which allows the end of the corresponding rod to be pivotally connected to the top connector or the side connector for limitation.

[0057] Furthermore, to facilitate operation during setup and dismantling, the top connector 2 and the side connector 6 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 and 61 to the base plates 26 and 66. A pull rope may also be connected to the pull ring 81, which can be used to pull the pull ring, facilitating the pulling action of the top connector 2 or the side connector 6.

[0058] Furthermore, combining Figure 19 As shown, a telescopic sleeve 91 can be fitted onto the upper end of the side upright 4 and / or the lower end of the diagonal support rod 5. A spring 92 is installed inside the telescopic sleeve 91, abutting against the upper end of the side upright 4 or the lower end of the diagonal support rod 5. The telescopic sleeve 91 is fitted inside the tent fabric along with the side upright 4 or the diagonal support rod 5. The elastic extension and contraction of the spring 92 creates an elastic segment at the free end of the side upright 4 and the diagonal support rod 5. 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 4 and the diagonal support rod 5 easier to fold.

[0059] Combination Figures 10 to 12 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that in each group of outer supports b, a second outer support rod 7 is pivotally connected between each first outer support rod 3 and inner support rod 1. Both second outer support rods 7 are pivotally connected to the top connector 2 and extend towards the adjacent outer support c. The two second outer support rods 7 are symmetrical and, when unfolded, are inclined and supported inside the first outer support rod 3. Furthermore, the outer ends of the two second outer support rods 7 between adjacent groups of outer supports b are close to each other or can intersect and abut. Combined with... Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the top connector 2, in addition to connecting the inner top rod 1, also forms a set of X-shaped outer supports. The three sets of outer supports form a hexagon outside the inner support a composed of the three inner top rods 1. Two more first outer top rods 3 extend from the three spaced vertices of the hexagon to connect to the side supports c, increasing the support area and strength of the tent's top poles, making the tent top surface fuller. Simultaneously, the six sets of side supports c form a hexagonal tent, significantly increasing the tent's volume and usable space. In this embodiment, after connecting the inner top rod 1, the top connector 2 also needs to connect two first outer top rods 3 and two second inner top rods 7. Therefore, the top connector 2 needs to be provided with five pivot slots. The structure of the inner top rod 1, the two first outer top rods 3, and the two second inner top rods 7 pivotally connected in the top connector 2 is the same as in the previous embodiment. The only structural difference in the top connector 2 is the adjustment of the number and distribution angle of the pivot slots 22, which will not be detailed here.

[0060] Combination Figures 13 to 15 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 support a includes four inner top rods 1. The inner ends of each inner top rod 1 abut against the center of the tent top, i.e., the middle of the top surface of the tent fabric. The inner top rods 1 are radially distributed at equal angles, forming an X-shaped intersection on the top of the tent. An outer support b is connected to the outside of each inner top rod 1 via a top connector 2. In this embodiment, each set of outer supports b includes two first outer top rods 3 symmetrically located on both sides of the inner top rods 1. Each first outer top rod 3 has a side support c on its outer side, ultimately forming a tent with four corners at the top and octagonal sides.

[0061] Combination Figures 16 to 18 As shown, this is the fourth embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the third embodiment is that in this embodiment, the inner support a includes four inner top rods 1. The inner ends of each inner top rod 1 abut against the center of the tent top, i.e., the middle of the top surface of the tent fabric. The inner top rods 1 are radially distributed at equal angles, forming an X-shaped intersection on the tent top. An outer support b is connected to the outside of each inner top rod 1 via a top connector 2. In this embodiment, each group of outer supports b includes two first outer top rods 3 symmetrically located on both sides of the inner top rods 1. A second outer top rod 7 is pivotally connected between each first outer top rod 3 and the inner top rod 1. Both second outer top rods 7 are pivotally connected to the top connector 2 and extend towards the adjacent outer support c. The two second outer top rods 7 are symmetrical and, when unfolded, are inclined and supported inside the first outer top rods 3. The outer ends of the two second outer top rods 7 between adjacent groups of outer supports b are close to each other or can intersect and abut. Figure 17 As shown, in this embodiment, the top connector 2, in addition to connecting the inner top rod 1, also forms a set of X-shaped outer supports. The four sets of outer supports b form an octagon on the outside of the inner support a. Each of the first outer top rods 3 has a side support c on its outside, ultimately forming a tent with an octagonal top and octagonal sides.

[0062] For the tent tarpaulin, refer to... Figure 3 or Figure 12 As shown, each inner top rod 1, the first outer top rod 3, and the second outer top rod 7 are all sleeved and fixed in the top tent fabric (the top tent fabric has corresponding fabric sleeves for the rods to pass through). The top tent fabric may include an inner top surface X1 supported by the inner top rod a and an outer top surface X2 supported by the first outer top rod 3 and the second outer top rod 7; multiple side tent fabrics Y enclose the tent facade, and side uprights 4 are sleeved and fixed in the two sides of each side tent fabric Y to support and form the side edges of the tent fabric. The diagonal support rods 5 between adjacent side supports c support the bottom of the side tent fabric Y. At least one side tent fabric Y may have a notch to form the entrance and exit of the tent, or windows may be set in the side tent fabric Y of the tent. For some tent roof surfaces, such as Figure 12 In the outer top surface X2 shown, a top ventilation area can also be set in a certain area of ​​the outer top surface X2.

[0063] With the above structure, the tent can be used in conjunction with... Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, when the tent needs to be set up, simply pull the pull tabs 8 (pull rings 81) of each side connector 6 outward in sequence (if the inner top rod is pivotally connected to the central connector, push the central connector outward). The inner frame a, outer frame b, and several sets of side frames c will all open or unfold, that is, unfold the support frame and tighten the tent fabric (then the tent can be further secured using tow ropes and ground stakes), thus quickly setting up the tent. After use, the pull rings 81 can be pushed inward. First, push each side connector 6 inward, and each side frame b will fold inward. Then, push each top connector 2 inward, and the outer frame b, along with the inner frame a, will also change from the unfolded state to the folded state, allowing the tent to be folded up. Setting up and closing the tent is convenient and quick. This invention, while offering convenient and quick unfolding and folding operations, changes the design of traditional tents. There are no tent poles obstructing the sides of the tent, allowing for the design of large entrances and exits directly on the side tarpaulin according to usage needs. This makes the tent more flexible and convenient to use. Furthermore, the tent top includes an inner support frame and multiple sets of outer supports, greatly increasing the top surface area and overall space after the tent is unfolded, thus satisfying a wider range of usage functions.

[0064] 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.

The lower ends of the side uprights and the upper ends of each diagonal support rod are pivotally connected to a side connector. The lower ends of the diagonal support rods are supported on the ground. The side uprights and diagonal support rods between adjacent side supports form a support frame for supporting the side tarpaulin.

2. The tent structure as described in claim 1, characterized in that: In the top support, the inner ends of each inner top rod abut against the middle of the top tarpaulin or are pivotally connected to a central connector, and the inner top rods are distributed radially at equal angles.

3. The tent structure as described in claim 1, characterized in that: Each set of external supports is connected to the top connector and corresponds to the outside of each inner top rod. Each set of external supports includes two first external top rods symmetrically located on both sides of the inner top rod.

4. A tent structure as described in claim 3, characterized in that: In each set of external supports, a second external support rod is pivotally connected between each first external support rod and the inner support rod. Both second external support rods are pivotally connected to the top connector and extend towards the adjacent external support. The two second external support rods are symmetrical and are inclined to support the inner side of the first external support rod when unfolded. The outer ends of the two second external support rods between adjacent sets of external supports are close to each other.

5. A tent structure as described in any one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that: 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.

6. A tent structure as described in claim 5, characterized in that: In each side support, two inclined support rods are inclinedly supported on both sides of the side uprights. Between the two inclined support rods, there is at least one inclined support rod located in the middle, which 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 unfolded.

7. A tent structure as described in claim 4, characterized in that: The portions of the inner top rod, the first outer top rod, and the second outer top rod that are pivotally connected to the top connector, as well as the portions of the side uprights and diagonal support rods that are pivotally connected to the side connectors, are defined as connecting segments. The connecting segments are pivotally connected to pivot grooves provided in the top connector and the side connectors, respectively. The pivot grooves are circumferentially opened according to the number of corresponding connecting segments and the connection angle. After rotation, the connecting segments pivotally connected in the pivot grooves form unfolding and folding positions. When the top connector and the side connector are pulled outward, the inner top rod, the first outer top rod, the second outer top rod, the side uprights, and the diagonal support rods change from folding positions to unfolding positions. The top tarpaulin and the side tarpaulins are supported and tightened by the unfolded top frame rods and side supports.

8. A tent structure as described in claim 7, characterized in that: 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 part 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 edge on the outer edge of the connecting cover, forming a lower locking point. When the connecting section is unfolded and locked, it is inclinedly inserted into the pivot groove and locked between the upper locking point and the lower locking point. When 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.

9. A tent structure as described in any one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that: 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.

10. A tent structure as described in claim 4, characterized in that: Each inner top rod, the first outer top rod, and the second outer top rod are all sleeved and fixed in the top tent fabric. The top tent fabric includes an inner top surface supported by the inner top rods and an outer top surface supported by the first and second outer top rods. Multiple side tent fabrics enclose the tent facade. Side uprights are sleeved and fixed in the two sides of each side tent fabric and support the side edges of the tent fabric. The diagonal support rods between adjacent side supports support the bottom of the side tent fabrics. At least one side tent fabric has a notch to form the entrance and exit of the tent. The top connector and the side connectors also have pull parts that can protrude outside the tent fabric.
