Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that the advantages and features of this utility model can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art. Obviously, the embodiments described in this application are only a part of the embodiments, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] See Figure 1 The tent shown includes at least three support legs 100 and a horizontal support 300 extending transversely to the support legs 100. The horizontal support 300 is connected to the support legs 100 and serves to improve the stability of the tent. It also allows advertising materials such as slogans to be hung on the horizontal support 300, achieving a good advertising and display effect. The term "multiple" includes two or more. Specifically, in this embodiment, the tent has four support legs 100. When the tent is in the unfolded state, the four support legs 100 are relatively unfolded and supported on the ground. When the tent is in the unfolded state, the horizontal support 300 can be mounted on two adjacent support legs 100, and see [reference needed]. Figure 1 As shown, the horizontal support 300 extends horizontally and facilitates the hanging of promotional materials such as tent tarpaulins. In some embodiments, one side of the tent has two or more support legs 100, and the horizontal support 300 is mounted on this side and connected to more than two support legs 100 to improve the stability of the connection.

[0030] In this embodiment, the horizontal support 300 includes a first rod 310 and a second rod 320 that are slidably connected. Specifically, the first rod 310 and the second rod 320 are slidably connected along the length direction. By driving the first rod 310 and the second rod 320 to slide relative to each other, the length of the horizontal support 300 can be adjusted to adapt to different usage scenarios. At the same time, the length of the horizontal support 300 can be shortened when it is not in use for easy storage.

[0031] In this embodiment, the horizontal support 300 further includes a locking mechanism to lock the first rod 310 and the second rod 320 to maintain the stability of the horizontal support 300. The locking mechanism includes a fixed base 1, a driving member 2, and a locking member 3, wherein the fixed base 1 is fixedly connected to the first rod 310. The driving member 2 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 1 around the rotating shaft 20. The driving member 2 has a first outer surface 21 and a second outer surface 22 that are circumferentially connected. The distance between the first outer surface 21 and the axis of the rotating shaft 20 is greater than the distance between the second outer surface 22 and the axis of the rotating shaft 20. Specifically, the driving member 2 is columnar, and the rotating shaft 20 is offset from the center line of the driving member 2, thereby making the distance from the outer circumferential surface of the driving member 2 to the axis of the rotating shaft 20 different, forming the aforementioned first outer surface and second outer surface. In this embodiment, the locking member 3 is movably disposed between the driving member 2 and the second rod 320. Specifically, the locking member 3 can be disposed relatively away from or relatively close to the second rod 320.

[0032] The locking mechanism has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the first outer surface 21 abuts against the locking member 3, and the locking member 3 abuts against the second rod 320. This friction prevents the second rod 320 from sliding relative to the first rod 310, thus achieving locking. In the unlocked state, the second outer surface 22 faces the locking member 3. Since the distance from the second outer surface 22 to the rotation axis 20 is less than the distance from the first outer surface 21 to the rotation axis 20, the locking member 3 gains space to move towards the driving member 2 and away from the second rod 320. Therefore, in the unlocked state, the locking member 3 can separate from the second rod 320, thereby eliminating or reducing the friction on the second rod 320, allowing it to slide relative to the first rod 310. The user only needs to drive the driving member 2 to rotate around the rotation axis 20 to switch the locking mechanism between the locked and unlocked states, making operation convenient.

[0033] In this embodiment, the second rod 320 is slidably inserted into the rod cavity of the first rod 310, thus achieving a sliding connection between the first rod 310 and the second rod 320 and enabling the extension and retraction of the horizontal support 300. See also... Figure 5As shown, the rotating shaft 20 is located outside the first rod 310, and the driving member 2 is also located outside the first rod 310. The first rod 310 has a through hole 301 communicating with its rod cavity. When the locking mechanism is in the locked state, the locking member 3 is inserted into the through hole 301 and extends into the rod cavity of the first rod 310, abutting against the second rod 320. In this embodiment, when the locking mechanism is in the locked state, not only will friction be generated between the mutually abutting locking member 3 and the second rod 320, but also, under the drive of the locking member 3, the gap between the first rod 310 and the second rod 320 will decrease, increasing the friction between them. After the locking mechanism switches to the unlocked state, the gap between the first rod 310 and the second rod 320 increases, and the friction between them decreases.

[0034] In this embodiment, the fixing base 1 includes a sleeve 11 sleeved on the outside of the first rod 310. The sleeve 11 has a through groove 13, which communicates with the through hole 301. The locking member 3 is movably disposed in the through groove 13 and can move from the through groove 13 into the through hole 301 under the drive of the driving member 2, and abut against the second rod 320 located in the rod cavity. See also Figures 2 to 7 As shown, the fixed base 1 also includes a lug 12 extending outward from the sleeve 11. The lug 12 includes two lugs spaced apart. The rotating shaft 20 is rotatably disposed between the two lugs 12 around its own axis. The driving member 2 is rotatably disposed between the two lugs 12 around the rotating shaft 20.

[0035] In this embodiment, the locking member 3 has a locking groove 30 on the side facing the driving member 2. The locking groove 30 is recessed into the second rod 320, and the driving member 2 is movably inserted into the locking groove 30. When in the locked state, the first outer surface 21 abuts against the locking groove 30. By providing the locking groove 30, the stability of the cooperation between the driving member 2 and the locking member 3 can be improved, avoiding misalignment or sliding between the driving member 2 and the locking member 3. At the same time, by providing the locking groove 30, the movement of the locking member 3 can be guided, so that under the drive of the driving member 2, the locking member 3 can accurately move towards the second rod 320 and abut against the second rod 320, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the locking.

[0036] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the locking groove 30 is arc-shaped, and the cross-sections of the first outer surface 21 and the second outer surface 22 are also arc-shaped. This matching shape improves the fit and reduces the resistance generated during the rotation of the drive member 2, resulting in a smoother fit between the drive member 2 and the locking member 3 as the drive member 2 rotates around the shaft 20. Specifically, in a cross-section perpendicular to the shaft, the first outer surface 21 and the second outer surface 22 connect to form an arc centered on the first point, and the groove wall of the locking groove 30 is an arc centered on the second point.

[0037] In some preferred embodiments, the locking member 3 can move in a direction perpendicular to the second rod 320 under the drive of the driving member 2, thereby shortening the travel distance of the locking member 3 and improving the stability of the locking. In this embodiment, the second dot, the center point of the rotating shaft, and the first dot are arranged sequentially in a direction perpendicular to the second rod 320, specifically, the second dot, the center point of the rotating shaft, and the first dot are arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside in a direction perpendicular to the second rod 320. Thus, during the rotation of the driving member 2, the locking member 3 is driven to move towards the second rod 320 in a direction perpendicular to the second rod 320 through the cooperation between the first outer surface 21 and the groove wall of the locking groove 30. In this embodiment, the first dot is located on the side of the rotating shaft centerline away from the first rod 310 in a direction perpendicular to the second rod 320. In some embodiments, the second dot coincides with the rotating shaft centerline or the second dot coincides with the first dot.

[0038] In this embodiment, the locking member 3 includes an abutment portion 31 for abutting against the second rod 320 and a connecting portion 32 capable of elastic deformation. When the locking mechanism is in the locked state, the abutment portion 31 abuts against the second rod 320. The connecting portion 32 can provide the force required for the abutment portion 31 to reset. When the locking mechanism transitions from the locked state to the unlocked state, the connecting portion 32 can drive the abutment portion 31 away from the second rod 320 through elastic deformation, thereby releasing the lock on the second rod 320.

[0039] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 32 is connected between the fixed base 1 and the abutment portion 31; in other embodiments, the connecting portion 32 is connected between the first rod 310 and the abutment portion 31. The connecting portion 32 can limit the displacement of the abutment portion 31. Specifically, when the locking mechanism is in the locked state, the connecting portion 32 can prevent the abutment portion 31 from moving relative to the fixed base 1 or relative to the first rod 310, thereby improving the stability of the locking between the first rod 310 and the second rod 320.

[0040] In this embodiment, the locking member 3 includes two connecting portions 32 disposed on opposite sides of the abutment portion 31. The two connecting portions 32 not only enhance the limiting effect and thus improve the stability of the locking member 3 in the locked state, but also increase the reset speed of the locking member 3, restrict the position of the locking member 3 after reset in the unlocked state, and restrict the movement path of the locking member 3 during the state transition of the locking mechanism. Specifically, in this embodiment, the two connecting portions 32 are disposed on opposite sides of the abutment portion 31 along the length direction of the first rod 310. With this arrangement, when the locking mechanism is in the locked state, if the second rod 320 tends to move relative to the first rod 310, regardless of the direction of the movement, at least one connecting portion 32 can provide resistance to prevent the abutment portion 31 from moving.

[0041] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 , Figure 7 As shown, the through groove 13 extends along the length direction of the first rod 310, and the locking member 3 is connected between the two side walls of the through groove 13 along its length direction. In this embodiment, the sleeve 11 and the locking member 3 are integrally formed, and the thickness of the connecting part 32 is less than the thickness of the sleeve 11 and the thickness of the abutment part 31, thereby having a certain elastic deformation capability. This arrangement facilitates the production of the locking mechanism.

[0042] In this embodiment, see Figure 7 As shown, the abutment portion 31 of the locking member 3 has a groove 33 on the side near the driving member 2. The opening of the groove 33 faces the driving member 2. By providing the groove 33, the contact area between the driving member 2 and the abutment portion 31 can be reduced, thereby reducing the frictional resistance generated between the two during the rotation of the driving member 2. Specifically, the groove 33 is recessed from the bottom of the locking groove 30 toward the second rod 320.

[0043] In this embodiment, the sleeve 11 is fitted onto one end of the first rod 310. The opening of one end of the sleeve 11 has an inwardly extending blocking portion. When the sleeve 11 is fitted onto the outside of the first rod 310, the blocking portion abuts against the end of the first rod 310, serving both a positioning function and limiting the displacement of the sleeve 11 along the length of the first rod 310. One of the sleeve 11 and the first rod 310 has a groove, and the other has a limiting member. When the sleeve 11 is fitted onto the outside of the first rod 310, the limiting member is inserted into the groove, thus providing a limiting function. The combined action of the blocking portion, the limiting member, and the groove ensures the stability of the connection between the sleeve 11 and the first rod 310. In other embodiments, the sleeve 11 and the first rod 310 are connected using other existing connection methods.

[0044] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism includes an operating component 4, which is fixedly mounted to the driving component 2. The user drives the driving component 2 to rotate via the operating component 4, thereby switching the locking mechanism between a locked state and an unlocked state. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 20 extends perpendicularly to the first rod 310, and the operating component 4 is flipped along the length of the first rod 310 to complete the operation. In this embodiment, in the locked state, the operating component 4 extends parallel to the first rod 310, which helps to enhance the aesthetics of the horizontal support 300 and prevents accidental activation.

[0045] In this embodiment, see Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, the fixed base 1 is provided with a limiting protrusion 14, which extends outward from the sleeve 11. When the locking mechanism is in the locked state, the operating member 4 abuts against the limiting protrusion 14, and the limiting protrusion 14 restricts the stroke of the operating member 4 toward the sleeve 11 or toward the first rod 310, thereby ensuring that there is a gap between the operating member 4 and the sleeve 11 or between the operating member 4 and the first rod 310 for the operator to drive the operating member 4 to rotate.

[0046] In this embodiment, the tent includes a top frame 200 disposed on the upper part of the support legs 100. When the tent is in the unfolded state, the top frame 200 and the tarpaulin on it provide shelter. In some embodiments, the cross support 300 is a component of the top frame 200.

[0047] In this embodiment, the horizontal bracket 300 and the support leg 100 are detachably connected, allowing the horizontal bracket 300 and the support leg 100 to be installed and fixed when needed, and the horizontal bracket 300 to be detached from the support leg 100 when not needed. The length of the horizontal bracket 300 can be shortened by driving the first rod 310 and the second rod 320 to slide and retract, thus facilitating the storage of the horizontal bracket 300. Simultaneously, the connection between the horizontal bracket 300 and the support leg 100 can be disconnected first, and then the height of the horizontal bracket 300 can be adjusted. After adjustment, the horizontal bracket 300 and the support leg 100 can be re-fixed.

[0048] In this embodiment, the top frame 200 includes a foldable telescopic unit 210 connected between the support legs 100. The tent is in a folded state, in which multiple support legs 100 are close together, and the telescopic unit 210 is folded between the multiple support legs 100. In this embodiment, in the folded state, the horizontal support 300 is detached from the support legs 100. In some embodiments, in the folded state, the horizontal support 300 is folded between the support legs 100. In some specific embodiments, one end of the horizontal support 300 is detachably connected to the support leg 100, and the other end of the horizontal support 300 is rotatably connected to another support leg 100. During the process of converting the tent to the folded state, the connection between the horizontal support 300 and one support leg 100 is first released, then the length of the horizontal support 300 is shortened by driving the first rod 310 and the second rod 320 to slide and retract, and then the horizontal support 300 is folded relative to the support leg 100 by driving the horizontal support 300 to rotate relative to the other support leg 100.

[0049] In summary, the tent of this embodiment includes a horizontal support 300 that can be connected to multiple support legs 100. The horizontal support 300 is horizontally erected between the support legs 100, which improves the stability of the tent and allows promotional items to be hung on the horizontal support 300 for a more stable and better display effect. The horizontal support 300 includes a first rod 310 and a second rod 320 that are slidably connected. The length of the horizontal support 300 can be adjusted by driving the first rod 310 and the second rod 320 to slide relative to each other. A locking mechanism locks the first rod 310 and the second rod 320. When the locking mechanism is in the locked state, the first outer surface 21 of the driving member 2 drives the locking member 3 to abut against the second rod 320, thereby preventing the relative sliding of the first rod 310 and the second rod 320. When in the unlocked state, the locking member 3 can separate from the second rod 320, so that the second rod 320 can slide relative to the first rod 310. The driving component 2 can be rotated by the operating component 4, thereby driving the locking mechanism to switch between the locked and unlocked states, which is simple to operate.

[0050] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
