[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0023] This embodiment mainly describes the structure of the tent frame, as follows:

[0024] A portable tent frame, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the tent includes a frame 1, support rods 2, sleeves 4, connectors 5, rotating plates 6, torsion springs 7, and screws 9. The tent is composed of multiple frames 1 and multiple support rods 2. There are four frames 1 around the perimeter. The frames 1 have placement slots 3. The lower end of the placement slots 3 is connected to the sleeves 4. The connectors 5 are slidably connected inside the sleeves 4. A square plate is set in the middle of the connectors 5. The connectors 5 are slidably connected to the placement slots 3 through the square plate. The outer end of the connectors 5 is rotatably connected to the rotating plates 6. The frames 1 have threaded grooves 8. The screws 9 are threadedly connected to the threaded grooves 8. The horizontal height of the threaded grooves 8 is the same as the height of the connectors 5. The rotating plates 6 have grooves that mate with the screws 9. The outer end of the connectors 5 is fitted with torsion springs 7. One end of the torsion springs 7 is connected to the square plates, and the other end is connected to the rotating plates 6. The rotating plates 6 are slidably connected to the placement slots 3. When the rotating plates 6 are in the placement slots 3, the torsion springs 7 are in a torsional state.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a gear 10, a first rack 11 and a second rack 12. The gear 10 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the placement groove 3, and the first rack 11 and the second rack 12 are slidably connected to the upper end of the placement groove 3. The first rack 11 and the second rack 12 are located on the upper and lower sides of the gear 10, respectively. The first rack 11 and the second rack 12 mesh with the gear 10, and the second rack 12 contacts the upper part of the rotating plate 6.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a guide block 13. The guide block 13 is provided on the side of the frame 1. The guide block 13 is located on the left and right sides of the placement groove 3. The inclined surface of the guide block 13 will cause the rotating plate 6 to gradually slide into the placement groove 3, ensuring that the rotating plate 6 can be smoothly stored and remain stable.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a shock-absorbing pad 14. The shock-absorbing pad 14 is provided in the groove where the rotating plate 6 and the screw 9 cooperate. The shock-absorbing pad 14 buffers the impact force when the rotating plate 6 falls, preventing damage to the fit between the screw 9 and the threaded groove 8. At the same time, the shock-absorbing pad 14 can also reduce noise and improve the user experience.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes reflective sticker 15, which is affixed to the rotating plate 6.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a pull rod 16. The pull rod 16 is connected in the middle of the rotating plate 6. The design of the pull rod 16 allows the rotating plate 6 to be quickly unfolded and fixed without pressing the first rack 11.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a magnet 17. The sleeve 4 is connected to the magnet 17. The connector 5 is made of magnetic metal. When the rotating plate 6 is stored, the magnet 17 further fixes the connector 5 to prevent it from sliding accidentally.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes an anti-slip pad 18. The first rack 11 is connected to the anti-slip pad 18. The anti-slip pad 18 increases friction, ensures the effectiveness of the pressing action, avoids slipping, and thus improves the operating experience.

[0032] After the tent's support pole 2 is rotated and folded, the user can choose to press the first rack 11 or pull the lever 16 according to their height. The rotating plate 6 can be pulled out directly via the lever 16. Pressing the first rack 11 causes it to slide inward, driving the meshing gear 10. This gear 10 then causes the second rack 12 to move outward, pushing out the rotating plate 6. The rotating plate 6 slides along the placement groove 3. Once the rotating plate 6 disengages from the placement groove 3, the torque of the torsion spring 7 drives the rotating plate 6 to rotate clockwise, thus... The other end of the rotating plate 6 is close to the screw 9. Before removing the rotating plate 6, the screw 9 needs to be rotated to move it outward, leaving room for the rotating plate 6 to fit. When the rotating plate 6 contacts the screw 9, the shock-absorbing pad 14 can buffer the impact of the rotating plate 6 falling and protect the fit between the screw 9 and the threaded groove 8. After the rotating plate 6 is connected to the screw 9, the screw 9 is turned and the screw 9 presses the rotating plate 6 to fit against the frame 1. After all four rotating plates 6 are put down and fixed, the tent is fixed and will not fall apart during transportation.

[0033] When the rotating plate 6 leaves the placement slot 3, the connector 5 also slides in the placement slot 3 through the block. At the same time, the connector 5 overcomes the magnetic force of the magnet 17 and slides along the sleeve 4. When the first toothed rack 11 is pressed, the anti-slip pad 18 can ensure the pressing effect. In poor lighting conditions, the reflective sticker 15 helps the user to quickly position the tent and at the same time alerts the surrounding people, enhancing safety and convenience.

[0034] When the tent needs to be deployed, loosen screw 9 and rotate rotating plate 6 counterclockwise. When rotating plate 6 is fully vertical, push rotating plate 6 towards frame 1. Connector 5 slides inward and contacts magnet 17. Magnet 17 stabilizes connector 5. The top of rotating plate 6 presses against second rack 12, which slides inward. Through gear 10, it drives first rack 11 to slide outward. At this time, torsion spring 7 is twisted, and the torque drives rotating plate 6 to rotate clockwise, thus pressing rotating plate 6 against frame 1. This maintains the stability of rotating plate 6 in placement slot 3. When pushing rotating plate 6 in, guide block 13 acts as a guide. Even if rotating plate 6 is not fully vertical, after contacting guide block 13, the inclined surface of guide block 13 will cause rotating plate 6 to gradually slide into placement slot 3, ensuring that rotating plate 6 can be smoothly stored and remain stable. Finally, screw screw 9 completely into threaded groove 8.
