Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of louvered tent technology, specifically relating to an arched louvered tent. Background Technology

[0002] Venetian louvered tents are a common outdoor product used for shelter from wind and rain. The roof of a louvered tent typically has a flat structure, which facilitates the coordinated movement of the louvers and reduces production costs. However, flat-top louvered tents are prone to negative pressure in strong winds, leading to structural instability. Secondly, the height of a flat-top tent is limited, which may cause users to feel cramped or bump their heads under the tent, reducing user comfort. Additionally, water easily accumulates on the roof of a flat-top tent, affecting its normal use. Utility Model Content

[0027] Combined with appendix Figures 1 to 8As shown, this embodiment discloses an arc-shaped louvered tent, including several uprights 1, a ring beam frame, and louver panel assemblies 4. The upper ends of the uprights 1 are fitted and installed with the ring beam frame. The louver panel assemblies 4 are installed inside the ring beam frame. The ring beam frame includes straight ring beams 2 and arc-shaped ring beams 3. The louver panel assemblies 4 include several louver panels 41, at least one main linkage bar 42, and several secondary linkage bars 43. Each louver panel 41 includes a louver panel portion 411, end caps 412 on both sides, and a connecting shaft 413. The connecting shaft 413 passes through the end caps 412 and extends outside the end caps 412. Several mounting holes are provided on the arc-shaped ring beams 3. 1. The louvered plate 41 is mounted on the mounting hole of the arc beam 3 via the connecting shaft 413. The louvered plate 41 can rotate around the connecting shaft 413. The main linkage bar 42 is located on the inner side of the arc beam 3. Several connecting holes 421 are evenly arranged on the main linkage bar 42. One end of the auxiliary linkage bar 43 is hinged to the main linkage bar 42 through the connecting hole 421. The other end of the auxiliary linkage bar 43 is hinged to the end cover 412. When one of the louvered plates 41 opens or closes, the main linkage bar 42 can coordinately drive the other louvered plates 41 to open or close on the arc beam 3. In this embodiment, the opening and closing directions of all louvered plates 41 are the same.

[0028] In summary, the shape of the secondary linkage 43 can be arc-shaped, elongated, or other similar shapes, which facilitates the transmission between the louvered plate 41 and the main linkage 42.

[0029] In conjunction with the above installation structure, the main linkage bar 42 also includes a guide member 423 and at least one positioning groove 422. The guide member 423 is disposed in the positioning groove 422 and can slide along the positioning groove 422, so that the louvered plate 41 can move along a set trajectory when opening and closing, so that the opening and closing trajectory of the louvered plate assembly 4 on the arc beam 3 is arc-shaped, and the louvered plates 41 are tightly closed.

[0030] In combination with the above, the upper and lower parts of the main linkage bar 42 are provided with multiple sets of guide wheels 424 to limit the movement of the main linkage bar 42, so as to ensure that the main linkage bar 42 slides along the set path.

[0031] In conjunction with the above, it also includes a central ring beam 5, which is located in the middle of the arc ring beam 3 and is perpendicularly connected to the arc ring beam 3. The central ring beam 5 divides the louver assembly 4 into a first louver section 44 and a second louver section 45. The main linkage bar 42 of the first louver section 44 and the main linkage bar 42 of the second louver section 45 are respectively located on the inner side of different arc ring beams 3. That is, the first louver section 44 and the second louver section 45 are centrally symmetrical with respect to the center of the central ring beam 5, so that the louvers 41 of the first louver section 44 and the second louver section 45 can open and close in opposite directions.

[0032] In conjunction with the above, it also includes at least one drive mechanism 6. The drive mechanism 6 includes a drive part 61, a first drive member 62, and a second drive member 63. The drive part 61 is located on the outside of the arc beam 3, and the shaft of the drive part 61 passes through and connects to the arc beam 3. The drive part 61 is a turbine or a motor. In this embodiment, the drive part 61 is a turbine. One end of the first drive member 62 is hinged to the shaft of the drive part 61, and the other end is hinged to one end of the second drive member 63. The other end of the second drive member 63 is hinged to the main linkage bar 42, so that when the drive part 61 moves, it can drive the first drive member 62 to move in coordination. The first drive member 62 drives the second drive member 63 to move in coordination. The second drive member 63 drives the main linkage bar 42 to move in coordination. The main linkage bar 42 drives the louvered plate 41 to move in coordination to achieve opening and closing.

[0033] With the above installation structure, users can adjust one or more of the louvered panel 41, main linkage bar 42, secondary linkage bar 43 and drive unit 61 to realize the opening and closing of the louvered panel assembly 4 on the arc beam 3. The adjustment methods are diverse, and the operation is simple and convenient.

[0034] In conjunction with the above, it also includes a decorative section 7, which includes several decorative parts 71, connecting end caps 72, and connecting parts 73. The connecting parts 73 are L-shaped, and the column 1 has a slot 74 at the corresponding position of the connecting parts 73. The decorative parts 71 are located on the outside of the column 1 and are fixedly connected to the slots 74 on the column 1 through the connecting parts 73. The connecting end caps 72 are located at the upper end of the column 1, and the column 1 is fixedly connected to the decorative parts 71, the straight ring beam 2, and the arc ring beam 3 through the connecting end caps 72, which strengthens the stability between the ring beam structure and the support structure. At the same time, the decorative section 7 can improve the overall aesthetics.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: the tent roof of this utility model has an arc-shaped structure, which is novel and beautiful in appearance; the transmission mechanism of the louvers has a simple structure and can realize the opening and closing of the louvers in different areas in the same direction or in opposite directions; compared with flat-top tents, it can provide users with more space at the same height and can also avoid water accumulation on the roof, thus improving the user's comfort.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, or alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical principles of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
