Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of support connection technology, and in particular to a tent support connection mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] As a supporting component of the tent, the tent frame provides sturdy support for the tent fabric and establishes the overall structure of the tent. With this frame, the tent can maintain its shape, easily supporting the weight of the tent fabric itself, and effectively resisting the impact of wind, rain, and external natural forces. It is precisely because of the stabilizing effect of the tent frame that the tent can be used normally in complex and ever-changing outdoor environments, creating a safe and comfortable temporary living space for users.
[0003] In the early stages of tent development, tent frame connections were simple, initially using ropes to bind the frame poles together. While the materials were readily available and inexpensive, the strength of the rope connections was limited, making it unsafe in strong winds. Furthermore, the setup process was extremely cumbersome, requiring significant time for knotting and adjustments, and disassembly was also time-consuming, severely impacting efficiency. With advancements in metalworking technology, tent frame connection mechanisms emerged, primarily using snap-fit connections. Compared to rope binding, this improved stability and setup efficiency.
[0004] In strong winds, the wind load on the tent increases significantly, making it difficult to maintain a stable connection under sustained strong winds. The buckles gradually loosen and fall off due to repeated shaking and pulling caused by the wind, leading to the disintegration of the tent frame structure. This results in the tent failing to provide effective support, greatly endangering the safety of users and items inside the tent. Furthermore, the dynamic forces generated by people moving inside the tent cannot be effectively handled by existing tent frame connection mechanisms, causing the tent to sway noticeably. This not only affects the user's rest and activity experience but also accelerates the wear and tear on the connecting parts due to frequent shaking, reducing the tent's lifespan. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a tent frame connection mechanism, which aims to improve the problem that traditional tent frame connection mechanisms in the prior art are unable to maintain a stable connection under continuous strong winds, causing the tent frame structure to fall apart and failing to provide effective support for the tent, which greatly endangers the safety of users and the safety of items inside the tent.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a tent frame connecting mechanism, comprising two support tubes 1, providing load-bearing support for the structure. Two rubber plates 3 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both support tubes 1 to increase friction with the tent fabric. Multiple telescopic sleeves 4 are fixedly connected to the front top of the front support tube 1 and the left top of the left support tube 1 for adjusting the length of the mechanism. A retaining plate 11 is fixedly connected inside both support tubes 1 for connecting the internal structure of the support tubes 1. Springs 2 10 are fixedly connected to the front side of the front retaining plate 11 and the left side of the left retaining plate 11 for providing elastic cushioning. The front side of the front spring 2 10 and the left side of the left spring 2 10... On the left side of each of the 0, there is a grooved plate 29 fixedly connected to, which plays a locking role for the tent frame structure. Multiple springs 15 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the adjacent telescopic sleeves 4 to provide buffer for external forces. The top of each of the multiple springs 15 is fixedly connected to a locking piece 6, which can better lock the tent frame structure. The output ends of the multiple telescopic sleeves 4 on the front side and the output ends of the multiple telescopic sleeves 4 on the left side are fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 7 for connecting the tent frame structure. The outer walls of the two connecting pipes 7 are fixedly connected to two rubber plates 212 to further increase the friction. The top of the two rubber plates 212 at the top is threadedly connected to a rotating handle 28 for adjusting the tightness.
[0033] Specifically, the tent frame connection mechanism includes two load-bearing tubes 1, which provide load-bearing support for the structure. As the basic support component, the load-bearing tubes 1 ensure that the entire tent frame connection mechanism can withstand the weight of the tent, guaranteeing structural stability. Two rubber plates 3 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both load-bearing tubes 1, increasing friction with the tent fabric. By increasing friction, the rubber plates 3 ensure a tight fit between the tent fabric and the load-bearing tubes 1, preventing slippage and improving the overall stability of the tent. Multiple telescopic sleeves 4 are fixedly connected to the front top of the front load-bearing tube 1 and the left top of the left load-bearing tube 1, used to adjust the length of the mechanism. The telescopic sleeves 4 can be flexibly adjusted in length according to actual setup needs to adapt to different sizes and shapes. For tent erection, enhancing the applicability of the mechanism, both load-bearing tubes 1 are fixedly connected to the interior of the load-bearing tubes 1. These plates 11 connect the various components within the load-bearing tubes 1, making the internal structure more stable and improving the overall strength of the load-bearing tubes 1. Springs 2 10 are fixedly connected to the front side of the front plate 11 and the left side of the left plate 11, providing elastic cushioning. When the tent is subjected to external impact, springs 2 10 can absorb and buffer energy through elastic deformation, reducing damage to the structure and extending the service life of the mechanism. Grooved plates 2 9 are fixedly connected to the front side of the front spring 2 10 and the left side of the left spring 2 10, acting as a locking mechanism for the tent frame structure. The grooved plates 2 9... Other components of the tent frame are tightly engaged to ensure a secure connection between all parts, preventing loosening and displacement, and guaranteeing structural stability. Multiple springs 5 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of adjacent telescopic sleeves 4, providing cushioning against external forces. When encountering external impacts, springs 5 can quickly deform and absorb energy, reducing the impact on the telescopic sleeves 4 and the entire mechanism, protecting it from damage. Engaging pieces 6 are fixedly connected to the tops of multiple springs 5, better securing the tent frame structure. The engaging pieces 6, through their tight cooperation with other components, enhance the connection strength of the tent frame structure, making the entire structure more robust and reliable. The output ends of the multiple telescopic sleeves 4 on the front and left sides are also fixed... A connecting pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the tent frame structure. The connecting pipe 7 connects the telescopic sleeves 4 in different parts together, ensuring the integrity and stability of the tent frame. Two rubber plates 12 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two connecting pipes 7 to further increase the friction. The rubber plates 12 further increase the friction between the connecting pipes 7 and other components, making the connection tighter, preventing relative slippage between components, and improving the stability of the structure. The top of the two rubber plates 12 are threaded with rotating handles 8 to adjust the tightness. The rotating handles 8 can adjust the tightness of the connection as needed to ensure a tight connection between the components and improve the stability and reliability of the entire tent frame connection mechanism.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The fixing mechanism 2 includes a sleeve 201. The top of the sleeve 201 is fixedly connected to the bottom rear side of the front bearing tube 1 and the bottom rear side of the left bearing tube 1, providing a load-bearing function for the fixing structure 2. Two fixing rings 202 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 201, which can effectively adjust the stability and tightness of the structure. A rotating handle 203 is threadedly connected to the left side of the outer wall of the two fixing rings 202, which allows personnel to manually rotate and adjust the tightening force of the fixing rings 202. A baffle 208 is provided at the bottom inner side of the sleeve 201 to adjust the tension. The tent legs serve as limiters. Multiple rubber pads 204 are fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the sleeve 201 to increase the friction between the fixing structure 2 and the tent legs. A placement tube 207 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the sleeve 201 to provide support space for the hydraulic rod 206. The bottom of the placement tube 207 is fixedly connected to the hydraulic rod 206, which can automatically adjust the output support force by compressing and rebounding under the external pressure brought by the tent legs. The output end of the hydraulic rod 206 is fixedly connected to a groove plate 205 for engaging and fixing with the tent legs.
[0035] Specifically, the fixing mechanism 2 includes a sleeve 201, which provides a space and connection base for fixing the tent legs. The top of the sleeve 201 is fixedly connected to the bottom rear side of the front support tube 1 and the bottom rear side of the left support tube 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the tent leg fixing point and thus ensuring the overall stability of the tent structure. Two fixing rings 202 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 201. The fixing rings 202 are used to cooperate with the rotating handle 203 to flexibly adjust the tightness of the tent legs. The left side of the outer wall of the two fixing rings 202 is threaded with the rotating handle 203. By rotating the rotating handle 203, the tightening force of the fixing rings 202 can be precisely adjusted according to the thickness of the tent legs, thereby firmly fixing the tent legs and effectively preventing shaking. A baffle 208 is provided on the inner bottom of the sleeve 201. The baffle 208 can prevent the tent legs from being excessively inserted into the sleeve 201 and acts as a limit to ensure the accurate insertion depth of the tent legs. To ensure the tent's overall structure remains under reasonable stress, multiple rubber pads 204 are fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the sleeve 201. These rubber pads 204, with their good elasticity and friction, buffer vibrations caused by external factors while increasing friction between the tent legs and the tent legs, greatly reducing the possibility of leg swaying. A placement tube 207 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the sleeve 201, providing a stable space for the hydraulic rods 206 and ensuring their fixed position during operation. Hydraulic rods 206 are fixedly connected to the bottom of each placement tube 207. The hydraulic rods 206 can sense changes in the external force borne by the tent legs and automatically adjust the output support force accordingly. A grooved plate 205 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic rod 206. The grooved plate 205 fits tightly against the outer wall of the tent legs, assisting in fixing the tent legs while further enhancing their support effect and improving the tent's stability during use.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Each of the two support tubes 1 has a placement box 14 at its top to provide space for the desiccant 13. Each of the two placement boxes 14 contains two desiccant 13s for moisture absorption and moisture prevention inside the tent. A thermometer 15 is installed on the front side of the outer wall of the sleeve 201. A pointer 16 is fixedly connected inside the thermometer 15 to clearly display the temperature changes inside the tent. The same support frame 17 is fixedly connected between adjacent support tubes 1 to enhance the strength of the connection structure. Multiple metal rings 18 are fixedly connected to the right side of the front support tube 1 and the rear side of the left support tube 1 to connect the windproof ropes inside the tent.
[0037] Specifically, each of the two support tubes 1 has a placement box 14 at its top. The placement box 14 is used to place desiccant 13 to create a dry environment inside the tent. Each of the two placement boxes 14 contains two desiccant 13s. The desiccant 13 can absorb moisture inside the tent, reduce air humidity, and prevent items from getting moldy and people from feeling uncomfortable due to dampness. A thermometer 15 is installed on the front side of the outer wall of the sleeve 201. A pointer 16 is fixedly connected inside the thermometer 15. The pointer 16 can clearly indicate the current temperature value by rotating on the scale of the thermometer 15. The same support frame 17 is fixedly connected between adjacent support tubes 1. The support frame 17 can enhance the connection strength between the two support tubes 1 and improve the overall stability of the tent frame structure. Multiple metal rings 18 are fixedly connected to the right side of the front support tube 1 and the rear side of the left support tube 1. The metal rings 18 can be used to connect the windproof ropes inside the tent, making the tent structure more stable.
[0038] Reference Figure 3 Two connecting rods 19 are fixedly connected to the bottom left side and the bottom rear side of the front support tube 1 to provide support for the bottom structure. Metal rings 21 are passed through the bottom of the multiple connecting rods 19 for hanging items. The bottom ends of the multiple connecting rods 19 are fixedly connected to locking blocks 20. The locking blocks 20 are all rounded to prevent the metal rings 21 from falling off. Energy storage boxes 22 are provided at the bottom of the two support tubes 1 for storing electrical energy. LED lights 23 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the energy storage boxes 22 for providing lighting at night.
[0039] Specifically, two connecting rods 19 are fixedly connected to the bottom left side and the bottom rear side of the front support tube 1. The connecting rods 19 provide an installation structure for the metal ring 21 and the locking block 20, ensuring a stable connection of related functional components. The bottom of multiple connecting rods 19 is penetrated by the metal ring 21, which can be used to hang items, increasing the utilization of the tent's internal space and making it convenient for users to store small items. The bottom of multiple connecting rods 19 is fixedly connected to the locking block 20, which is rounded and used to prevent the metal ring 21 from falling off, achieving a firm fixing effect. The rounded design of the locking block 20 avoids accidental injury to the user during operation. The bottom of both support tubes 1 is equipped with a power storage box 22, which stores electrical energy to provide a stable power source for the LED light 23. The bottom of the power storage box 22 is fixedly connected to the LED light 23, which can provide lighting around the tent at night or in low-light environments, facilitating user activities.
[0040] Working principle: The tent frame enters the structure through the connecting pipe 7. The rubber plate 12 on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 7 enhances the friction between the connection part and the tent, preventing the parts from loosening. Then, the spring 5 between multiple telescopic sleeves 4 buffers the external impact force. Subsequently, the locking piece 6 locks with the tent frame to prevent the connection from breaking due to impact. Then, it reaches the inside of the bearing pipe 1. When the tent is subjected to external impact, the spring 10 connected to the locking plate 11 generates elastic force to absorb the impact energy and reduce the degree of structural damage. The groove plate 9, together with the spring 10, limits the displacement range of the internal connecting parts to prevent them from being damaged due to excessive movement.
[0041] Furthermore, the sleeve 201 provides connection support for the tent legs and the overall tent structure. When the tent legs enter the sleeve 201, the baffle 208 prevents the tent legs from going too deep into the structure and causing structural wear. Subsequently, the rubber pad 204 uses its own elasticity and friction to buffer the impact force generated by the outside world and increase the friction between it and the tent legs. The placement tube 207 provides a stable installation space for the hydraulic rod 206. When subjected to external pressure, the hydraulic rod 206 automatically adjusts the output support force. The groove plate 205 at the output end of the hydraulic rod 206 fits tightly against the outer wall of the tent legs, assisting in fixation while strengthening the support for the tent legs, ensuring that the tent can maintain a stable state in various environments.
