Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for tents, and specifically discloses a multi-directional quick connector for tents and a tent. Background Technology
[0002] A tent is a portable camping device. People often use tents as temporary resting places when traveling and sightseeing in nature. The tent is assembled by splicing several connecting poles together to form a frame, and then the tent fabric is covered on the frame.
[0003] Existing modular tents, such as Figure 1 As shown, the connection nodes require splicing multiple sleeves, making assembly complex and less flexible and cumbersome. In addition, the connectors are usually made of iron pipes. To ensure their corrosion resistance during use, iron pipes usually need to be galvanized on the surface, which increases costs. Furthermore, galvanized iron pipes are not easy to degrade, which is not good for the environment. Moreover, the weight of iron pipes affects the overall portability of the tent for outdoor use. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model proposes a multi-directional quick connector for tents and a tent. Through the cross-shaped cavity design of the central reinforcement and the hexagonal prism multi-directional expansion structure of the branch connector, the splicing steps of the tent frame are significantly simplified and the construction efficiency is improved.
[0005] This invention is achieved as follows: a multi-directional quick-connector for a tent, comprising:
[0006] The central reinforcement member has a circular plate-like structure. The sidewall of the central reinforcement member has four fixed cavities evenly distributed along the circumference. The axes of the four fixed cavities are located on the same horizontal plane and are symmetrically distributed in a cross shape.
[0007] A branch connector, wherein the branch connector has a hexagonal prism structure, and both ends of the branch connector have connecting cavities along the axial direction, and the two connecting cavities are not connected.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the multi-directional quick connector for tents according to this utility model, the central reinforcement and branch connectors are both made of biodegradable plastic, and the inner diameter of the fixing cavity and the connecting cavity are adapted to the outer diameter of the tent fixing pole.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the multi-directional quick connector for tents according to this utility model, the bottom of the outer wall of the central reinforcement and both sides of the outer wall of the branch connector are fixedly connected with fixing buckles, and the outer wall of the fixing buckle is provided with a break.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the multi-directional quick connector for tents according to this utility model, both the central reinforcement and the branch connector are integrally formed by injection molding.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the multi-directional quick connector for tents according to this utility model, the upper surface of the central reinforcement component is a smooth transition surface.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the multi-directional quick connector for tents according to this utility model, both the fixed cavity and the connecting cavity have circular cross-sections.
[0013] A tent includes a tent fabric, a plurality of support poles, and a multi-directional quick-connector for the tent, wherein the multi-directional quick-connector for the tent is any of the multi-directional quick-connectors for the tent described above.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] This invention significantly simplifies the tent frame assembly process and improves setup efficiency through the cross-shaped cavity design of the central reinforcement and the hexagonal prism multi-directional expansion structure of the branch connectors. Furthermore, it uses biodegradable plastic instead of traditional galvanized iron pipes, reducing weight and allowing for recycling, thus minimizing environmental pollution. The fasteners and breaks form an elastic snap-fit structure, facilitating the securing of the tent fabric. The fasteners generate clamping force through elastic deformation at the breaks, ensuring excellent fixation. The circular cavity cross-section matches the outer diameter of the tent poles, and combined with the elastic properties of the plastic material, it enables quick "plug-in" installation of the poles without the need for additional fasteners.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.
[0027] Please see Figure 2-8 A multi-directional quick-connect fitting for a tent, comprising:
[0028] The central reinforcement 1 has a circular plate-like structure. The side wall of the central reinforcement 1 is evenly provided with four fixed cavities 3 along the circumference. The axes of the four fixed cavities 3 are located on the same horizontal plane and are symmetrically distributed in a cross shape.
[0029] Branch connector 2 has a hexagonal prism structure. Both ends of the branch connector 2 are provided with connecting cavities 4 along the axial direction. The two connecting cavities 4 are not connected.
[0030] In this embodiment: the central reinforcement 1 serves as the core node of the tent top, and its four cross-shaped symmetrical fixed cavities 3 can simultaneously insert four support rods to form a radial skeleton structure of the tent top. The branch connector 2 serves as the intermediate connection node, and through the connecting cavities 4 at both ends, it inserts adjacent support rods to achieve the extension or branching connection of the rods, thereby expanding the coverage of the tent frame. The cross-shaped cavity design of the central reinforcement 1 and the hexagonal prism multi-directional expansion structure of the branch connector 2 significantly simplify the splicing steps of the tent frame, improve the construction efficiency, and use biodegradable plastic instead of traditional galvanized iron pipes, which reduces weight and is biodegradable and recyclable, reducing environmental pollution. The fixing buckle 5 and the break 6 form an elastic buckle structure, which facilitates the fixing of the tent fabric. The fixing buckle 5 generates clamping force through the elastic deformation at the break 6, which has a good fixing effect. The circular cavity cross section is adapted to the outer diameter of the tent poles. Combined with the elastic properties of the plastic material, it realizes the "plug-in" quick installation of the poles without the need for additional fasteners.
[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the central reinforcement 1 and the branch connector 2 are both made of biodegradable plastic, and the inner diameter of the fixing cavity 3 and the connecting cavity 4 are adapted to the outer diameter of the tent fixing pole.
[0032] In this embodiment, biodegradable plastic is used to replace traditional galvanized iron pipes, which reduces weight and is biodegradable and recyclable, thus reducing environmental pollution.
[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the bottom of the outer wall of the central reinforcement 1 and both sides of the outer wall of the branch connector 2 are fixedly connected with fixing buckles 5, and the outer wall of the fixing buckle 5 is provided with a break 6.
[0034] In this embodiment: the fixing buckle 5 and the break 6 form an elastic buckle structure, which facilitates the fixing of the tent fabric. The fixing buckle 5 generates clamping force through the elastic deformation at the break 6, resulting in a good fixing effect.
[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the central reinforcement 1 and the branch connector 2 are both integrally formed by injection molding.
[0036] In this embodiment, both the central reinforcement 1 and the branch connector 2 are integrally molded using injection molding, resulting in higher strength.
[0037] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the upper surface of the central reinforcement 1 is a smooth transition surface.
[0038] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the central reinforcement 1 is a smooth transition surface to avoid sharp edges and reduce the risk of scratching the tent fabric.
[0039] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the cross-sections of both the fixed cavity 3 and the connecting cavity 4 are circular.
[0040] In this embodiment, both the fixed cavity 3 and the connecting cavity 4 have circular cross-sections that are compatible with the outer diameter of the tent poles. Combined with the elastic properties of the plastic material, the poles can be quickly installed by "plugging" without the need for additional fasteners.
[0041] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: The central reinforcement 1 serves as the core node of the tent top. Its four cross-shaped symmetrical fixed cavities 3 can simultaneously insert four support rods to form a radial skeleton structure of the tent top. The branch connector 2 serves as the intermediate connecting node. Through the connecting cavities 4 at both ends, adjacent support rods are inserted to extend or branch, thereby expanding the coverage of the tent skeleton. The fixing buckle 5 and the break 6 form an elastic buckle structure, which facilitates the fixing of the tent fabric. The fixing buckle 5 generates clamping force through the elastic deformation at the break 6, resulting in a good fixing effect. The circular cavity cross section is adapted to the outer diameter of the tent pole. Combined with the elastic properties of the plastic material, the poles can be quickly installed by "plugging and unplugging" without the need for additional fasteners.
