[0030] Reference Figure 1-12As shown, an easy-to-install track assembly is placed in a beam 1 of a frame along its length. A slide rail 2 is provided inside the beam 1. The track assembly includes a pulley assembly 3 that moves within the slide rail 2 and has a support 31 for connection thereon; a support rod 4 with locking elements 41 at both ends, and the support 31 can enter into the locking elements 41; adjusting the locking elements 41 controls the locking state of the support 31 within the locking elements 41.
[0031] The track assembly is applied to a folding canopy. The frame is a rectangular frame formed by connecting the ends of the frame, and corner connection ends are formed at the connection points of the frame. The folding canopy can be a four-corner canopy or a wall-mounted canopy. On the four-corner canopy, a column 6 is provided at the lower end of each of the four corner connection ends for support. On the wall-mounted canopy, the column 6 is provided at two adjacent corner connection ends for support on one side, while the other side rests against the wall.
[0032] The slide rail 2 is provided with two spaced grooves for placing several sets of pulley assemblies 3. The support 31 is located in the middle 4123 of the pulley assembly 3 and protrudes from the slide rail 2. The two ends of the support rod 4 are fixed on the support 31.
[0033] Specifically, the locking member 41 is fixedly installed on the side end of the support rod 4. The locking member 41 consists of two parts: a fixed member 411 and a movable member 412. The fixed member 411 is fixed on the support rod 4, and the movable member 412 is slidably disposed on the fixed member 411.
[0034] The fixing member 411 consists of a main body 4113 and a reinforcing rib 4114 located at the rear end of the main body 4113. One end of the reinforcing rib 4114 is inserted into the end face of the support rod 4. A first slot 4111 for the support 31 to enter is provided on the upper end face of the main body 4113. A second slot 4112 is provided on one side of the reinforcing rib 4114, perpendicular to the first slot 4111 and communicating with the first slot 4111. Specifically, it communicates with the bottom area of the first slot 4111. The movable member 412 is placed in the second slot 4112. An elastic member 4121 is provided at the rear end of the movable member 412. The movable member 412 can reciprocate in the second slot 4112 and into the first slot 4111 by pressing the elastic member 4121.
[0035] It should be noted that the insert 4114 includes a first insert a and a second insert b vertically disposed on the upper and lower parts of the main body 4113. The first insert a and the second insert b are symmetrical and are separated by a distance c. The movable member 412 is disposed within the distance c and slides within this distance c. A first sliding groove 4115 extending to the end of the insert 4114 is provided on both sides of the main body 4113. At the same time, a second slot 4112 extending from the direction of the insert 4114 to the direction of the main body 4113 and leading to the first slot 4111 is provided in the middle area 4123 of the distance c. The second slot 4112 is located at the end of the second sliding groove 4116 in the length direction.
[0036] Specifically, the first slide groove 4115 and the second slide groove 4116 are used to cooperate with the movable member 412. The movable member 412 is shaped like a "mountain" and includes a side portion 4122 and a middle portion 4123. The side portion 4122 and the middle portion 4123 are connected at one end. The extension length of the middle portion 4123 is less than the extension length of the side portions 4122 on both sides. The side portion 4122 is located in the first slide groove 4115, and the middle portion 4123 is located in the second slide groove 4116.
[0037] Specifically, in order to ensure the reciprocating movement of the movable part 412 within the range of the fixed part 411, an elastic cavity 4124 for accommodating the elastic member 4121 is provided at the rear end of the middle part 4123 of the movable part 412. At the same time, a locking rod 5 perpendicular to the first insert a and the second insert b is provided at the end of the insert rib 4114. The locking rod 5 is screwed in from top to bottom and fixed. The front end of the elastic member 4121 abuts against the bottom of the elastic cavity 4124, and the end abuts against the locking rod 5. Furthermore, in order to prevent interference, a notch is provided at the rear end of the middle part 4123 of the movable part 412 in the vertical direction.
[0038] A slope d is provided at the front end of the side portion 4122, and anti-slip teeth e are provided on the slope d. Furthermore, the rear end face of the main body 4113 of the fixing member 411 abuts against the end face of the support rod 4. A step is also provided at the slope d formed by the side portion 4122 to limit the pressing length of the movable member 412 on the fixing member 411, but to ensure that the middle part 4123 of the movable member 412 can completely disengage from the first slot 4111 when fully pressed.
[0039] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the support 31 can cooperate with the middle part 4123 of the movable part 412, a first buckle hole 311 is provided at the bottom end of the support 31 in the length direction. In order to ensure that the middle part 4123 can be easily inserted into the first buckle hole 311, the length and width of the first buckle hole 311 need to be set to be slightly larger than the end face size of the middle part 4123. When the support 31 is fully inserted into the bottom of the first slot 4111, the movable part 412 is moved, and the middle part 4123 of the movable part 412 can be just inserted into and pass through the first buckle hole 311.
[0040] Furthermore, a drive mechanism 11 is also provided in the beam 1 on one side. The drive mechanism 11 is preferably a belt drive mechanism. A fixing block and a connecting plate 12 are provided on the belt. An insert 121 is provided on the connecting plate 12. Preferably, the insert 121 can be set as two spaced pieces. A second buckle hole 312 is provided above the first buckle hole 311 of the support 31. One piece of the insert 121 is inserted into the second buckle hole 312, and the other piece is attached to the outside of the support 31, which can have a clamping effect. It should be noted that the insert 121 needs to cooperate with the support 31 on the first pulley assembly 3 to drive the first pulley assembly 3 through belt drive, and drive the remaining pulley assemblies 3 to slide accordingly through the curtain.
[0041] The working process of this utility model is as follows: The movable part 412 is inserted into the fixed part 411 through the gap c, the middle part 4123 is aligned with the second slot 4112, the elastic element 4121 is installed in the elastic cavity 4124 at the rear end of the middle part 4123 of the movable part 412, the locking rod 5 is inserted into the end of the insert rib 4114 from top to bottom, the elastic element 4121 abuts against the locking rod 5, the locking member 41 is inserted into the side of the support rod 4, at this time the middle part 4123 is completely inserted into the first slot 4111 through the second slot 4112 and abuts against the wall surface, through... Secure the support rod 4 with fasteners, lift the support rod 4, bring the support rod 4 close to the support 31, press the movable part 412, and slide and press it towards the center of the support rod 4. The middle part 4123 of the movable part 412 will disengage from the first slot 4111. The support 31 will be pressed against the side wall close to the insert rib 4114 as much as possible, and after the support 31 is fully inserted into the first slot 4111, release the movable part 412. The middle part 4123 will penetrate the first buckle hole 311 on the support 31, making it impossible for the support 31 to disengage from the first slot 4111.
