[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model and to more clearly define the scope of protection claimed by this utility model, the present utility model is described in detail below with reference to certain specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following are only some specific embodiments of the present utility model concept, and are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model. The specific and direct description of related structures is only for the convenience of understanding this utility model, and the specific features do not necessarily or directly limit the scope of implementation of this utility model.

[0031] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the present invention adopts the following technical solution. The present invention provides one aspect: a folding assembly, comprising:

[0032] At least two sets of support components 1, each support component 1 including a first rod 101, a second rod 102 and a third rod 103 respectively disposed on both sides of the first rod 101 and rotatably connected to the first rod 101;

[0033] Connect component 2, which rotatably connects two sets of support components 1.

[0034] Through the above technical solution, the second rod 102 and the third rod 103 of this utility model can be rotated to achieve folding and parallel to the first rod 101, and the two sets of support components 1 can rotate relative to the connecting components 2 to form a folding structure.

[0035] The support assembly 1 further includes a first connector 104, which is fixedly mounted on the first rod 101. The second rod 102 is pivotally connected to the first connector 104, and the third rod 103 is pivotally connected to the first connector 104. The first connector 104 is provided with a second extension 106 and a third extension 107 extending to both sides of the first rod 101. The second rod 102 is pivotally connected to the second extension 106, and the third rod 103 is pivotally connected to the third extension 107.

[0036] The first connector 104 is fixed to the first rod 101 to form a Z-shaped structure, and the second rod 102 and the third rod 103 are staggered.

[0037] A first support rod 108 is pivotally connected to the first rod 101 or the third rod 103. The first rod 101 is provided with a first positioning part 109 and the third rod 103 is provided with a second positioning part 110. The end of the first support rod 108 is provided with a first mating part 111 that cooperates with the first positioning part 109 and the second positioning part 110. The bottom of the first rod 101 and the third rod 103 is pivotally connected to a support foot 112.

[0038] Through the above technical solution, due to the setting of the first positioning part 109, it can be collinear with the first rod 101 when folded, and installed on the second positioning part 110 for support when unfolded. The first mating part 111 consists of a large hole 113 and a small hole 114 connected to each other, and the second positioning part 110 is a screw structure 115. That is, the large hole 113 can be fitted with a screw head, and then the screw post can be slid to be located in the small hole 114. The screw head can limit the first support rod 108 and prevent the first support rod 108 from coming out of the screw structure 115.

[0039] When unfolded, the third rod 103 can be opened to insert the screw post of the screw structure 115 into the small hole 114. The small hole 114 can be slightly smaller than the screw post to increase the limiting stability. When folded, the third rod 103 is rotated partially toward the first rod 101 to disengage the screw structure 115 from the large hole 113, and the first support rod 108 is rotated and positioned by the first positioning part 109. Figure 2 As shown.

[0040] The connecting assembly 2 includes at least one first connecting rod 201 and at least one second connecting rod 202. The first connecting rod 201 connects to the first rod body 101 of the two support assemblies 1, and the second connecting rod 202 connects to the second rod body 102 of the two support assemblies 1. The first connecting rod 201 and the first rod body 101, and the second connecting rod 202 and the second rod body 102, are connected by a second connecting member 203. The second connecting member 203 includes a limiting connecting part 204 and a rotating connecting part 205. The limiting connecting part 204 is connected to the first rod body 101 or the second rod body 102, and the rotating connecting part 205 is connected to the first connecting rod 201 or the second connecting rod 202 via a rotating shaft. A limiting support member 206 is fixed on the second connecting member 203. The limiting support member 206 has a supporting arc surface 207 for supporting the first connecting rod 201 or the second connecting rod 202. The limiting support member 206 is at least partially inserted into the first rod body 101 or the second rod body 102.

[0041] Through the above technical solution, the first connecting rod 201 and the second connecting rod 202 are used to support two support components 1; it also includes a second support rod 208, which is pivotally connected to the first rod body 101 or the second rod body 102. The first connecting rod 201 and the second connecting rod 202 are provided with a third positioning part 210, and the second support rod 208 is provided with a positioning groove 209 that cooperates with the third positioning part 210. The third positioning part 210 can be a protruding structure.

[0042] Through the above technical solution, when unfolded, the second support rod 208 prevents the first connecting rod 201, the second connecting rod 202, the first rod body 101, and the second rod body 102 from rotating.

[0043] During the folding process, according to Figure 2 In the direction of the middle arrow, rotate the second rod 102 toward the first rod 101, rotating the first support rod 108 to the first positioning part 109 for fixation. The first positioning part 109 can be a protrusion. Since the first support rod 108 has a certain elasticity, the protrusion can enter the first mating part 111. Then rotate the third rod 103 toward the first rod 101. After each folding assembly is folded, the two folding assemblies rotate relative to each other through the pivot 105 on the second rotating member, forming... Figure 4 structure.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, it can be rotated in the direction of the arrow when unfolded.

[0045] On the other hand, this utility model provides a folding tent, including the above-mentioned folding component and canopy component 3. The canopy component 3 is connected to the folding component through a third connector 301. The third connector 301 is provided with a connecting groove 302, and the connecting groove 302 is limitedly connected to the connecting component 2.

[0046] The canopy assembly 3 includes at least three fourth rods 303 and a bent pipe 304 connecting two adjacent fourth rods 303. The fourth rods 303 and the bent pipe 304 are inserted and fixed. The third connector 301 is fixed to the canopy assembly 3. The canopy assembly 3 also includes at least one fifth rod 305, which is detachably connected between two fourth rods 303 by a fastener 306. At least a portion of the fourth rods 303 is arc-shaped. The two sides of the connecting groove 302 form elastic arms to elastically hold the connecting assembly 2. It also includes a tarpaulin 4, which includes a main body 401 and a connecting fabric 402 connected to the main body 401. The connecting fabric 402 covers the fourth rods 303 and is detachably connected to the main body 401. The connecting fabric 402 covers the fourth rods 303 and is connected to the main body 401 by Velcro 403. Figure 7 As shown.

[0047] With the above technical solution, when not in use, the fourth rod 303 and the bent tube 304 can be disassembled, and the fifth rod 305 can also be disassembled for easy storage.

[0048] The aforementioned shaft connection can be a damped shaft, which can limit the rotation and further improve stability.

[0049] The aforementioned rods, connecting rods, and support rods can be made of iron.

[0050] The second rod 102 and the third rod 103 are configured to not contact or only slightly contact the first rod 101 when rotating.
