Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tarpaulin technology, and in particular to a windless tarpaulin. Background Technology
[0002] With the improvement of modern living standards, people in modern cities are increasingly seeking to be closer to nature, and outdoor activities are becoming more and more popular, such as camping, outdoor barbecues, and gatherings. However, outdoor activities are inevitably affected by the weather, such as scorching sun or rain. As a product that can provide shade and protection from rain, a canopy is a piece of outdoor equipment that uses a screen, support columns, and guy lines to create a semi-open space, and it is highly favored by outdoor enthusiasts.
[0003] Currently, most tents on the market use a perforated design at the edges, with a fixing ring at the opening. One end of the wind rope is connected through the fixing ring at the edge of the tent using a double overhand knot, slip knot, or quick-release buckle (such as a spring hook), while the other end extends to the ground and is fixed with ground nails.
[0004] However, the retaining rings on the screen may come loose after prolonged use. Once the retaining rings come loose, the screen is easily torn and damaged under the tension of the guy ropes. At the same time, most tarpaulins on the market are designed with guy ropes during installation. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the guy ropes are thin and not easily noticed, which can easily trip pedestrians and pose a safety hazard. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a windless tarpaulin that solves the problem of traditional tarpaulins being easily damaged due to perforation.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a windless tarpaulin, comprising a curtain, a connecting strap, a first fixing strap, a second fixing strap, a connector, a support column, and a ground nail. The connector is disposed on the support column, one end of the connecting strap is disposed on the curtain, and the other end of the connecting strap is folded back and fixedly installed on the connecting strap to form a first connecting buckle. The ground nail is disposed inside the first connecting buckle. The first fixing strap is disposed between the curtain and the connector for connecting the curtain and the connector. One end of the second fixing strap is disposed on the connector, and the ground nail is disposed at the other end of the second fixing strap for fixing the second fixing strap.
[0007] The technical principle of this utility model is as follows: the support columns support both sides of the screen, and the screen and connectors are connected together by the first fixing strap to fix the height of the screen. The second fixing strap limits the support columns, and the connecting strap is pulled outward to tighten the screen. The first connecting buckle is then placed in the ground nail, and the second fixing strap is fixed by the ground nail to complete the installation of the tarpaulin. The setting of the connecting strap can tighten the screen. Both the connecting strap and the first fixing strap are fixedly installed on the screen, avoiding drilling holes in the screen. This avoids the problem of the screen being easily damaged by drilling holes in traditional screens. Moreover, the second fixing strap acts on the connectors and does not directly contact the screen, reducing the tension on the screen and further reducing the possibility of screen damage.
[0008] Furthermore, the connecting strip is triangular.
[0009] Furthermore, the connector has mounting holes and a first connecting groove and a second connecting groove symmetrically arranged along the vertical center plane of the mounting holes. The connector is sleeved on the support column through the mounting holes. One end of the first fixing strap is fixedly installed on the curtain, the other end of the first fixing strap is set in the first connecting groove, and one end of the second fixing strap is set in the second connecting groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the end of the first fixing strap away from the curtain is folded back and fixedly installed on the first fixing strap to form a second connecting buckle. Both ends of the second fixing strap are folded back and fixedly installed on the second fixing strap to form a third connecting buckle and a fourth connecting buckle. The second connecting buckle is set in the first connecting groove, the third connecting buckle is set in the second connecting groove, and the ground nail is set in the fourth connecting buckle.
[0011] Furthermore, both the first and fourth connecting buckles are equipped with D-rings for attaching to the ground stakes.
[0012] Furthermore, the support column includes a base, an adjusting rod slidably disposed within the base, and a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, and a third connecting rod connected sequentially from bottom to top. The end of the third connecting rod away from the second connecting rod is provided with a stepped seat for supporting the connecting member.
[0013] Furthermore, the first connecting rod is slidably disposed within the adjusting rod, and a connecting cable is disposed within the support column. One end of the connecting cable is disposed within the adjusting rod, and the other end of the connecting cable is disposed within the third connecting rod. The length of the connecting cable is equal to the total length of the first connecting rod, the second connecting rod, and the third connecting rod. A first fixing member for fixing the adjusting rod is disposed on the side wall of the base, and a second fixing member for limiting the first connecting rod is disposed within the first connecting rod.
[0014] Furthermore, the second fixing member includes an elastic member and a limiting member. A through hole is opened on the side wall of the first connecting rod. The limiting member is slidably disposed in the through hole. The elastic member is disposed in the first connecting rod. The limiting member is fixedly installed on the elastic member.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] 1. By using the connecting strap and the first fixing strap, drilling holes in the screen is avoided, thus reducing the possibility of damage to the screen. At the same time, the second fixing strap is set on the connector and does not come into direct contact with the screen, reducing the tension on the screen and further reducing the possibility of damage to the screen.
[0017] 2. The connecting strap is wider than the guy rope, making it easier to notice and thus reducing safety hazards;
[0018] 3. The height of the support column can be easily adjusted by the base, adjusting rod and first fixing component. Attached Figure Description

In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0035] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention:
[0036] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model proposes a windless tarpaulin, including a curtain 1, a connecting strap 2, a first fixing strap 3, a second fixing strap 4, a connector 5, a support column 6, and a ground nail 7. The connector 5 is disposed on the support column 6. One end of the connecting strap 2 is disposed on the curtain 1, and the other end of the connecting strap 2 is folded back and fixedly installed on the connecting strap 2 to form a first connecting buckle 201. The ground nail 7 is disposed inside the first connecting buckle 201. The first fixing strap 3 is disposed between the curtain and the connector 5 for connecting the curtain 1 and the connector 5. One end of the second fixing strap 4 is disposed on the connector 5, and the ground nail 7 is disposed at the other end of the second fixing strap 4 for fixing the second fixing strap 4.
[0037] The connector 5 can be made of plastic, rubber, or metal. To improve its lifespan, iron is preferred. Here, the connector 5 is an iron sheet. Both the connecting strip 2 and the first fixing strip 3 are sewn onto the screen 1. The end of the connector 5 away from the screen 1 is folded back and sewn onto the connecting strip 2. The screen 1 is supported by the support column 6. The screen 1 and the connector 5 are connected together by the first fixing strip 3, thus fixing the height of the screen 1. The second fixing strip 4 can limit the support column 6 and pull the connecting strip 2 outwards to... Tensile the screen 1, then fit the first connecting buckle 201 into the ground nail 7, and simultaneously fix the second fixing strap 4 with the ground nail 7 to complete the installation of the canopy. The connecting strap 2 can tighten the screen 1. Both the connecting strap 2 and the first fixing strap 3 are sewn onto the screen 1, avoiding the need to drill holes in the screen 1. This avoids the problem of the screen 1 being easily damaged due to drilling in traditional screens. Furthermore, the second fixing strap 4 acts on the connector 5 and does not directly contact the screen 1, reducing the tension on the screen 1 and further reducing the possibility of damage to the screen 1. The connecting strap 2 can be rectangular, triangular, trapezoidal, etc. When the ground nail 7 is connected to the first connecting buckle 201, the connecting strap 2 will be twisted. To reduce the rebound force of the connecting strap 2 after twisting, the connecting strap 2 is preferably triangular.
[0038] Furthermore, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the connector 5 has a mounting hole 501 and a first connecting groove 502 and a second connecting groove 503 symmetrically arranged along the vertical center plane of the mounting hole 501. The connector 5 is sleeved on the support column 6 through the mounting hole 501. One end of the first fixing strap 3 is fixedly installed on the curtain 1, and the other end of the first fixing strap 3 is set in the first connecting groove 502. One end of the second fixing strap 4 is set in the second connecting groove 503.
[0039] The first connecting slot 502 facilitates the connection of the connector 5 to the curtain 1 by the first fixing strap 3. The second connecting slot 503, in conjunction with the tension of the first fixing strap 3, facilitates the fixing of the support column by the second fixing strap 4.
[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 2and Figure 3 As shown, the end of the first fixing strap 3 away from the curtain 1 is folded back and fixedly installed on the first fixing strap 3 to form the second connecting buckle 301. Both ends of the second fixing strap 4 are folded back and fixedly installed on the second fixing strap 4 to form the third connecting buckle 401 and the fourth connecting buckle. The second connecting buckle 301 is set in the first connecting groove 502, the third connecting buckle 401 is set in the second connecting groove 503, and the ground nail 7 is set in the fourth connecting buckle.
[0041] The end of the first fixing strap 3 furthest from the screen 1 passes through the first connecting slot 502 and is folded back and sewn onto the first fixing strap 3. The first fixing strap 3 is then connected to the connector 5 via the second connecting buckle 301. Similarly, the second fixing strap 4 is connected to the connector 5 via the third connecting buckle 401. Finally, the fourth connecting buckle is fitted onto the ground nail 7 to complete the installation. The design of the first fixing strap 3 avoids the need for drilling holes in the screen 1, thus preventing the problem of easy damage to the screen 1 caused by drilling in traditional screens.
[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, both the first connecting buckle 201 and the fourth connecting buckle are provided with D buckles 8 for fitting onto the ground nail 7.
[0043] The D-buckle 8 can prevent the connecting strap 2 and the second fixing strap 4 from being twisted, and at the same time can distribute the force on the first connecting buckle 201 and the fourth connecting buckle, making the completed canopy more stable and increasing the service life of the connecting strap 2 and the second fixing strap 4.
[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the support column 6 includes a base 601, an adjusting rod 602 slidably disposed in the base 601, and a first connecting rod 604, a second connecting rod 605, and a third connecting rod 606 connected in sequence and abutting each other. The end of the third connecting rod 606 away from the second connecting rod 605 is provided with a stepped seat 609 for supporting the connecting member 5.
[0045] Furthermore, the first connecting rod 604 is slidably disposed within the adjusting rod 602, and a connecting cable 608 is disposed within the support column 6. One end of the connecting cable 608 is disposed within the adjusting rod 602, and the other end of the connecting cable 608 is disposed within the third connecting rod 606. The length of the connecting cable 608 is equal to the total length of the first connecting rod 604, the second connecting rod 605, and the third connecting rod 606. A first fixing member 603 for fixing the adjusting rod 602 is disposed on the side wall of the base 601, and a second fixing member 607 for limiting the first connecting rod 604 is disposed within the first connecting rod 604.
[0046] The second connecting rod 605 is provided with a first snap-fit member 610 that can be nested within the first connecting rod 604, and the third connecting rod 606 is provided with a second snap-fit member 611 that can be nested within the second connecting rod 605. The base 601 is provided with a first arc-shaped member and a second arc-shaped member on the side near the adjusting rod 602. The first fixing member 603 is sleeved on the first arc-shaped member and the second arc-shaped member. The first fixing member 603 is an external locking buckle in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.
[0047] During installation, the third connecting rod 606 is connected to the second connecting rod 605 via the second snap-fit connector 611, and the second connecting rod 605 is connected to the first connecting rod 604 via the first snap-fit connector 610. Then, the first connecting rod 604 is pulled outwards from the adjusting rod 602, stretching the connecting cable 608 and thus fixing the second connecting rod 605 and the third connecting rod 606. The second connecting rod 605 is then fixed via the second fixing member 607, completing the installation. Simultaneously, the position of the adjusting rod 602 is fixed via the first fixing member 603, allowing adjustment of the height of the support column 6. When folding is required, the support column 6 can be disassembled and folded together by reversing the above operations, reducing the overall length of the support column 6 for easier carrying.
[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second fixing member 607 includes an elastic member and a limiting member. A through hole is opened on the side wall of the first connecting rod 604. The limiting member is slidably disposed in the through hole. The elastic member is disposed in the first connecting rod 604. The limiting member is fixedly installed on the elastic member.
[0049] Before the support column 6 is installed, the first connecting rod 604 is inside the adjusting rod 602. The adjusting rod 602 compresses the elastic element through the limiting member. After the first connecting rod 604, the second connecting rod 605 and the third connecting rod 606 are installed, the first connecting rod 604 is pulled out of the adjusting rod 602. At this time, the adjusting rod 602 no longer compresses the limiting member. The limiting member pops out from the through hole and the side wall of the limiting member abuts against the adjusting rod 602 to prevent the first connecting rod 604 from retracting, thus completing the fixation of the first connecting rod 604.
