[0031] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is for the purpose of aiding understanding the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an outdoor tent 100, including a fabric cover 101 and a support assembly 102, with the support assembly 102 and the fabric cover 101 connected. Specifically, in this embodiment, the outdoor tent 100 is an outdoor camping tent, providing a space for users to lie down and rest, protecting them from wind, rain, and insects. More specifically, during assembly, every five poles 1 are connected to form a curved pole assembly, and the five poles 1 are connected by four connecting mechanisms 2. The poles in this embodiment are made of fiberglass, which has a certain degree of flexibility.

[0034] Furthermore, the outdoor tent 100 has multiple clearance spaces 103, and the support assembly 102 is located within these clearance spaces 103, facilitating observation of the position of the connecting mechanism 2 for easy folding. Even further, the support assembly 102 is provided with... Figure 5 The buckle 218 shown engages with the cloth sleeve 101 fitted onto the rod 1, meaning the cloth sleeve 101 on the rod 1 can be engaged within the buckle 218. The purpose of the buckle 218 is to prevent the cloth sleeve 101 on the rod 1 from covering the entire connecting mechanism 2. If the connecting mechanism 2 is covered, time must be spent locating the connecting mechanism 2 before folding, making the operation cumbersome.

[0035] Reference Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the support assembly 102 includes multiple rods 1, and a connecting mechanism 2 is disposed between two adjacent rods 1. Further, the connecting mechanism 2 includes a rotating member 21 and a plug member 22. The rotating member 21 is rotatably connected to the plug member 22, and the rod 1 is fixed in the rotating member 21. More specifically, the rotating member 21 has a first end 213 and an opposite second end 214. The first end 213 is integrally formed with the rod 1, and the second end 214 inserts into or disengages from the rod 1 as shown in the diagram. Figure 6 The through slot 221 of the connector 22 shown. The support assembly 102 has, as shown... Figure 2 The unfolded state shown and as Figure 4 In the folded state shown, when unfolded, the rotating member 21 is inserted into the through slot 221 of the connector 22; when folded, the rotating member 21 is disengaged from the through slot 221 of the connector 22.

[0036] Specifically, the rotating component 21 includes a first rotating component 211 and a second rotating component 212, with a connector 22 located between the first rotating component 211 and the second rotating component 212. The first rotating component 211 is rotatably connected to the connector 22 via a first rotating shaft 3, and the second rotating component 212 is rotatably connected to the connector 22 via a second rotating shaft 4. The rod 1 includes a first rod 11 and a second rod 12 arranged adjacent to each other. The first rod 11 is fixed in the first rotating component 211, and the second rod 12 is fixed in the second rotating component 212. More specifically, the first rod 11 and the first rotating component 211 are integrally formed, and the second rod 12 and the second rotating component 212 are integrally formed. The first rod 11 rotates with the rotation of the first rotating component 211, and the second rod 12 rotates with the rotation of the second rotating component 212.

[0037] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first rotating member 211 and the second rotating member 212 have a first through hole 215, in such a way as Figure 3 In the unfolded state, the first rotating shaft 3 and the second rotating shaft 4 are inserted into the first through hole 215; the first rotating member 211 and the second rotating member 212 have a second through hole 216, and in the folded state, the first rotating shaft 3 and the second rotating shaft 4 are inserted into the second through hole 216. When changing from the unfolded state to the folded state, the first rod 11 and the second rod 12 are pulled in opposite directions (at this time, the first rotating shaft 3 and the second rotating shaft 4 enter the second through hole 216 from the first through hole 215), and then rotated clockwise or counterclockwise by 90 degrees to complete the folding between the first rod 11 and the second rod 12; when changing from the folded state to the folded state, first rotated clockwise or counterclockwise by 90 degrees, and then pushed the first rod 11 and the second rod 12 in the same direction (at this time, the first rotating shaft 3 and the second rotating shaft 4 enter the first through hole 215 from the second through hole 216) to complete the unfolding between the first rod 11 and the second rod 12.

[0038] Reference Figure 5 As shown, a straight transition section 217 is provided between the first through hole 215 and the second through hole 216. The first through hole 215, the transition section 217, and the second through hole 216 are connected. Limiting protrusions 6 are provided between the first through hole 215 and the transition section 217, and between the second through hole 216 and the transition section 217. The limiting protrusions 6 can limit the rotation shaft in the first through hole 215 or the second through hole 216, preventing the rotation shaft from sliding easily. Here, the rotation shaft refers to the first rotation shaft 3 and the second rotation shaft 4 in this embodiment.

[0039] The outdoor tent of this embodiment can be quickly unfolded and minimized for easy carrying. In addition, the poles of this embodiment can be folded up together with the fabric cover 101.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] Reference Figures 7 to 9 As shown, this embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 1, except that in this embodiment, the rod 1 is fixed in the rotating member 21 and the plug-in member 22. Specifically, the rod 1 includes a first rod 11 and a second rod 12 arranged adjacent to each other. The first rod 11 is fixed in the rotating member 21, and the second rod 12 is fixed in the plug-in member 22. The rotating member 21 and the plug-in member 22 are rotatably connected by a third rotating shaft 5.

[0042] Furthermore, the rotating member 21 has a first through hole 215 and a second through hole 216. In the unfolded state, the third rotating shaft 5 is inserted into the first through hole 215, and in the folded state, the third rotating shaft 5 is inserted into the second through hole 216. When changing from the unfolded state to the folded state, the rotating shaft moves from the first through hole 215 to the second through hole 216 via the transition section 217. Here, the rotating shaft refers to the third rotating shaft 5 in this embodiment.

[0043] Depend on Figure 4 and Figure 8 As can be seen, the tent in this embodiment has a smaller folded volume and occupies less space compared to that in embodiment 1. In addition, the poles in embodiment 1 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise when folded, while the poles in this embodiment can only rotate in one direction when folded.
