Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tent technology, specifically to a beam-column connection structure for a tent. Background Technology

[0002] Current outdoor tent frame designs typically employ a pole-and-beam structure, with multiple poles supported on the ground and crossbeams connecting adjacent poles. These crossbeams, along with upward-sloping beams, create the tilt of the tent roof. The connection between the poles, crossbeams, and beams in existing tents commonly uses direct bolt connections. For example, the connecting plate at the end of the crossbeam is attached to the side of the pole and secured with transverse bolts. This method exposes the bolt heads and nuts entirely in the visual focal point, creating a noticeable mechanical appearance. In high-end camping settings or commercial display environments, this design fails to meet users' aesthetic demands.

[0003] In addition, most tents have drainage channels on the crossbeams, but when rainwater flows to the junction of the beams and columns, due to the lack of an integrated water guiding path, the water has to drip from the crossbeam channels to the columns below. This process can easily lead to rainwater splashing or leakage, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a beam-column connection structure for a tent.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a beam-column connection structure for a tent is provided, including a column, an inclined beam, and two transverse beams. A connector is fixed to the upper end of the column, and the connector includes a middle upright plate. A first upright plate and a second upright plate are fixed to both ends of the middle upright plate in the transverse direction. The first upright plate and the second upright plate extend to both sides of the middle upright plate. The ends of the two beams are respectively connected to the two first upright plates by bolts. The two second upright plates are connected by edge upright plates. The lower end of the inclined beam is connected to the edge upright plate by an inclined beam connector.

[0006] In this design, the connector is used to connect the column, crossbeam, and diagonal beam. The ends of the two crossbeams are respectively connected to the two first upright plates by bolts. Since the two first upright plates are perpendicular to each other, the two crossbeams are also perpendicular to each other. The ends of the crossbeams are also located above the cavity of the column. The ends of the water troughs installed on the sides of the crossbeams are also located above the cavity of the column, allowing rainwater to flow into the column through the troughs. A drain outlet is opened at the bottom of the column to drain the rainwater inside the column. The diagonal beam is connected to the connector through the diagonal beam connector, thus ultimately connecting the ends of the crossbeams and diagonal beams within the connector.

[0007] As an optimization, the two first upright plates are perpendicular to each other, and bolt through holes are provided on the first upright plates. Threaded holes are provided at the ends of the crossbeams. In this design, the two first upright plates are perpendicular to each other, thus achieving perpendicularity between the two crossbeams. The connection between the first upright plates and the end faces of the crossbeams is achieved through the bolt through holes and threaded holes.

[0008] As an optimization, a transverse reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to the connector head, and the transverse reinforcing plate connects the intermediate vertical plate and the two first vertical plates. In this design, the transverse reinforcing plate strengthens the first vertical plates, preventing deformation and thus strengthening the connection of the crossbeam.

[0009] As an optimization, two longitudinal reinforcing plates are fixedly attached to the connector head, connecting the middle vertical plate and the edge vertical plate. In this design, the longitudinal reinforcing plates strengthen the edge vertical plates, preventing deformation and thus reinforcing the connection of the inclined beam.

[0010] As an optimization, the edge plate is flush with the side of the column. This facilitates the connection and welding of the edge plate to the upper end of the column.

[0011] As an optimization, the ends of the first upright plate furthest from the middle upright plate and the second upright plate furthest from the middle upright plate are both fixedly connected to the upper end of the column. This achieves welding and fixing of the first and second upright plates to the top surface of the column, improving the support effect.

[0012] As an optimization, the inclined beam connector includes a vertical connecting plate bolted to the inner side of the edge plate and an inclined connecting plate fixed to the upper end of the vertical connecting plate. The bottom surface of the inclined beam is bolted to the inclined connecting plate. In this design, the vertical connecting plate is fixed to the inner side of the edge plate, and the inclined connecting plate is fixed to the bottom surface of the inclined beam, thereby achieving the fixation of the inclined beam.

[0013] As an optimization, the inclined connecting plate is fixedly equipped with side baffles on both sides of the inclined beam and an end baffle at the end of the inclined beam. In this design, the end baffles are used to limit the end displacement of the inclined beam, and the side baffles are used to limit the lateral displacement of the inclined beam.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The beam-column connection structure of this utility model abandons the traditional exposed bolt structure and adopts an internal bolt butt joint method. After the connection is completed, there are no screws, nuts or buckle protrusions on the external surface, maintaining the visual smoothness of the joint between the upright and the crossbeam. The upright serves as both a supporting structure and a vertical drainage pipe, and the drainage groove on the crossbeam can directly guide rainwater into the internal cavity of the upright, avoiding rainwater dripping as in traditional designs.

[0026] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the following detailed implementation method will be used to explain the solution.

[0027] like Figures 1-9 As shown, the present invention discloses a beam-column connection structure for a tent, comprising a column 1, an inclined beam 3, and two transverse beams 2. The lower end of the column 1 is welded with a foot plate to secure the column to the ground. For example... Figure 1 The tent is supported by four uprights 1. There are four crossbeams 2 connecting adjacent uprights 1. Each upright 1 is connected to a diagonal beam 3 at the top. The upper ends of the diagonal beams converge in the middle of the tent, thus creating a sloping roof.

[0028] The column adopts a rectangular tube structure, which can not only achieve the support effect, but also serve as a downward drainage pipe. For aesthetic purposes, part of the pipe wall can be designed as an outwardly protruding arc structure. The two horizontal beams 2 are set vertically, and the inclined beams 3 are set at an angle. The lower end of the inclined beams 3 and the ends of the two horizontal beams 2 converge at the upper end of the column 1.

[0029] A connector 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the column 1 to connect the column 1, the crossbeam 2, and the inclined beam 3. The top view of the cross section of the connector 5 is shown below. Figure 8 As shown, the connector 5 includes a middle upright plate 51, which is located above the center of the cavity of the column 1. Both ends of the middle upright plate 51 are fixedly connected to a first upright plate 52 and a second upright plate 53. The two first upright plates 52 are perpendicular to each other and have bolt holes. The ends of the crossbeams 2 have threaded holes, and the ends of the two crossbeams 2 are respectively connected to the two first upright plates 52 by bolts. Because the two first upright plates 52 are perpendicular to each other, the two crossbeams 2 are also perpendicular to each other. The ends of the crossbeams 2 are also located above the cavity of the column 1. The ends of the water troughs installed on the sides of the crossbeams 2 are also located above the cavity of the column 1, allowing rainwater to flow into the column 1 through the water troughs. A drain outlet is located at the bottom of the column 1 to drain rainwater from inside the column 1.

[0030] The first upright plate 52 and the second upright plate 53 extend to both sides of the middle upright plate 51 respectively. The first upright plate 52 and the second upright plate 53 are perpendicular to each other. Therefore, the two second upright plates 53 are perpendicular to each other. The two second upright plates 53 are connected by the edge upright plate 54. The edge upright plate 54 is flush with the side of the column 1. In this embodiment, the side of the column 1 is an arc plate, so the edge upright plate 54 is also an arc plate.

[0031] The lower end of the inclined beam 3 is connected to the edge upright plate 54 via the inclined beam connector 4. For example... Figure 9 As shown, the inclined beam connector 4 is a metal bent plate. The inclined beam connector 4 includes a vertical connecting plate 41 bolted to the inner side of the edge plate 54 and an inclined connecting plate 42 fixed to the upper end of the vertical connecting plate 41. The end of the inclined connecting plate 42 away from the vertical connecting plate 41 is inclined downwards. Two connecting holes are opened on the vertical connecting plate 41, and two corresponding connecting holes are also opened on the edge plate 54. The vertical connecting plate 41 is fitted against the inner side of the edge plate 54 and connected by two bolts. Therefore, the inclined connecting plate 42 is located above the cavity of the column 1. The bottom surface of the inclined beam 3 is bolted to the inclined connecting plate 42, so that the end of the inclined beam 3 is also located above the cavity of the column 1.

[0032] The inclined connecting plate 42 is fixedly connected to side baffles 44 located on both sides of the inclined beam 3 and end baffles 43 located at the end of the inclined beam 3. Both side baffles 44 and end baffles 43 are bent into shape. End baffles 43 are used to limit the end displacement of the inclined beam 3, and side baffles 44 are used to limit the lateral displacement of the inclined beam 3.

[0033] The connector 5 is made of extruded aluminum alloy and then cut into segments. Each segment is welded to the upper end of the column 1. Since the edge plate 54 is flush with the side of the column 1, the lower end of the edge plate 54 is directly welded to the pipe wall of the column 1. The ends of the first plate 52 away from the middle plate 51 and the ends of the second plate 53 away from the middle plate 51 are both connected to the upper end of the column 1 and welded to fix them, thereby fixing the connector 5. For aesthetic purposes, the upper end of the connector 5 and the area between the two first plates 52 are covered with a cover plate.

[0034] To improve the strength of the connector 5 during welding to the column, a transverse reinforcing plate 6 and two longitudinal reinforcing plates 7 are fixedly connected to the connector 5. Figure 6 As shown, the transverse reinforcing plate 6 is a transverse trapezoidal plate. The transverse reinforcing plate 6 connects the intermediate vertical plate 51 and the two first vertical plates 52, thereby reinforcing the first vertical plates 52, preventing the first vertical plates 52 from deforming, and reinforcing the connection of the crossbeam.

[0035] The longitudinal reinforcing plate 7 is vertically arranged and connects the middle upright plate 51 and the edge upright plate 54, thereby strengthening the edge upright plate 54, preventing its deformation, and strengthening the connection of the inclined beam 3.
