A tent frame device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tent frame technology, and in particular to a tent frame device. Background Technology

[0002] In today's fast-paced modern life, people are increasingly keen to immerse themselves in the outdoors and enjoy the tranquility and comfort brought by nature. As an indispensable protective equipment for outdoor adventures, camping, picnics and other activities, the performance of the tent's frame structure directly affects the user's experience and even safety.

[0003] Currently, the known connecting devices used in tent frames are generally pivotal or sliding connections. As the internal space requirements of tent frames increase and their structures become more complex, pivotal and sliding connections can no longer meet the structural requirements of tent frames. Therefore, detachable connection structures have begun to be used in tent frames. However, current detachable connection structures are inconvenient to assemble and require a lot of time. To address this, we propose a tent frame device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

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.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-4. In this utility model, a tent frame device includes a connector 6, several top rods 5, and several support rods 3. A connecting block 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of each top rod 5. A limiting hole 10 is formed on the outer surface of each connecting block 4, and a slot 9 is formed on the bottom surface of each connecting block 4. An insert 11 is fixedly installed at the top end of each support rod 3. A through hole 12 is formed on the outer surface of each insert 11, and the top end of each insert 11 is inserted into the slot 9. A limiting spring 13 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of each connecting block 4. A lever 7 is fixedly installed at one end of each limiting spring 13, and a limiting pin 14 is fixedly installed on one side of each lever 7. One end of each limiting pin 14 passes through the through hole 12 and extends... The insertion blocks 11 are installed at the top of each support rod 3, and slots 9 are opened on the bottom surface of each connecting block 4. When the top of each insertion block 11 is inserted into the slot 9, the support rod 3 and the top rod 5 can be quickly assembled together. A limiting spring 13 is installed on one side of each connecting block 4, and a lever 7 is installed on the other end of each limiting spring 13. The user can stretch the limiting spring 13 and drive the limiting pin 14 to move by turning the lever 7. When one end of each limiting pin 14 passes through the through hole 12 and extends into the interior of the limiting hole 10, the insertion block 11 can be firmly restricted in the interior of the slot 9, so that the top rod 5 and the support rod 3 can be quickly and firmly assembled together.

[0023] The connector 6 has an isosceles hexagonal cross-section. Several annularly arranged storage slots 16 are provided on the outer surface of the connector 6. A pin seat 15 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of each storage slot 16. Each pin seat 15 is hinged to one end of the top rod 5 by a pin. By providing several annularly arranged storage slots 16 on the outer surface of the connector 6, not only can the pin seat 15 be installed, but one end of the top rod 5 can also be stored. This effectively prevents one end of the top rod 5 from directly contacting the tent fabric, thus avoiding damage to the tent fabric. By using pins to hinge the top rod 5 to the pin seat 15, each top rod 5 can rotate within a certain range around the connector 6, making it more convenient for users to carry and store.

[0024] Each support rod 3 has a base 1 at its bottom, and a threaded cylinder 2 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of each base 1. The inner wall of each threaded cylinder 2 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the bottom end of the support rod 3. Each base 1 has a set of positioning holes 8 on its upper surface. By installing the threaded cylinder 2 on the upper surface of each base 1, the bottom end of each support rod 3 can be quickly assembled with the threaded cylinder 2 by means of threaded connection. In addition, the user can adjust the height of the base 1 according to the flatness of the ground. By opening a set of positioning holes 8 on the upper surface of each base 1, the user can insert ground stakes through the positioning holes 8 and into the ground, so that the tent frame can be firmly installed on the ground.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0026] First, the user inserts the top of the insert 11 mounted on the top of the support rod 3 into the slot 9 opened on the bottom surface of the connecting block 4. Then, the user pulls the lever 7 in sequence. Each movement of the lever 7 stretches the limiting spring 13 and drives the limiting pin 14 to move. When one end of the limiting pin 14 is completely removed from the inside of the slot 9, the insert 11 can be fully inserted into the inside of the slot 9. When the insert 11 is fully inserted into the inside of the slot 9, the operator can release the lever 7. The limiting spring 13 retracts and drives the lever 7 to move. The movement of the lever 7 drives one end of the limiting pin 14 to pass through the through hole 12 and insert into the inside of the limiting hole 10. After each support rod 3 is assembled with the top rod 5, the operator can then connect the outer surface of the bottom end of the support rod 3 to the inner wall of the threaded cylinder 2 in sequence.

[0027] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0028] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity.
