[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0022] A tent frame extension structure includes four uprights 1, and a tent roof 2 is mounted on the top of the four uprights 1 via a roof support frame structure, such as... Figure 1 Four extended tent fabrics 3 are sewn to the bottom of the tent top 2, and the four extended tent fabrics 3 are evenly distributed around the perimeter of the tent top 2. At this time, the four extended tent fabrics 3 form a rectangular frame, and the four uprights 1 are all located within the rectangular frame formed by the four extended tent fabrics 3. The end of each of the four extended tent fabrics 3 near the uprights 1 is equipped with a swing arm 4, and the swing arm 4 is hinged to the uprights 1 through a hinge.
[0023] like Figure 1 In use, the swing arm 4 on the extended tent 3 is swung upwards via the hinge until the swing arm 4 swings to a horizontal position. At this point, the extended tent 3 on the swing arm 4 can expand the shading space of the tent (e.g., Figure 5 In rainy weather, the swing arm 4 is kept vertical, and the extended tarpaulin 3 on the swing arm 4 can reduce the occurrence of rainwater blowing into the tent, making it simple and convenient to use.
[0024] The upright 1 and the canopy support frame structure and the tent roof 2 can be the upright and canopy support frame structure and the cover cloth in a sunshade tent with evaporative cooling function as described in application number CN202222554303.0. This application will not elaborate on them here.
[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 and Figure 4The hinge includes a mounting plate 5 mounted on the column 1 near one end of the swing arm 4. A U-shaped mounting seat 6 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 5 facing away from the column 1. A column 7 is positioned between the opposite sides of the mounting seat 6. The end of the swing arm 4 near the mounting plate 5 is located within the mounting seat 6 and has a slot 8 for horizontal passage of one end of the column 7. A rotating ring 9 is located on the swing arm 4 within the mounting seat 6, and the rotating ring 9 is coaxially arranged with the column 7. The mounting seat 6 has a limiting component for restricting the swing arm 4 through the rotating ring 9, preventing it from swinging through the slot 8 and the column 7. The limiting component includes... The mounting base 6 includes a rod 10 and several slots 12 formed on one side of the rotating ring 9. The slots 12 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the rotating ring 9. A through hole 13 is formed at one end of the mounting base 6 near the rotating ring 9, and the through hole 13 corresponds to one of the slots 12. The rod 10 is horizontally set, and one end of the rod 10 passes through the through hole 13 and is inserted into the slot 12 corresponding to the through hole 13. A baffle 14 is provided at the end of the rod 10 away from the slot 12, located outside the mounting base 6. A tension spring 15 is provided between the baffle 14 and the mounting base 6. A pull ring 16 is provided on the side of the baffle 14 away from the rod 10.
[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 and Figure 4 By pulling the ring 16, the baffle 14 moves away from the mounting base 6. At this time, the baffle 14 moves the insert rod 10 away from the rotating ring 9, and the tension spring 15 is stretched until the insert rod 10 separates from the slot 12 on the rotating ring 9. Then, the swing arm 4 is pushed to swing upward through the cooperation of the rotating groove 8 and the column 7 until the swing arm 4 swings to a horizontal state. At this time, the shading space of the tent can be expanded by the extension tarpaulin 3 on the swing arm 4 (e.g., Figure 5 When the swing arm 4 swings to a horizontal position, one of the slots 12 on the rotating ring 9 corresponds to the insertion rod 10. Then, the pull ring 16 is released, and the stretched tension spring 15 drives the baffle 14 to approach the mounting base 6. At this time, the baffle 14 will drive the insertion rod 10 to approach the rotating ring 9 until one end of the insertion rod 10 is inserted into the slot 12. At this time, the swing arm 4, which has swung to a horizontal position, can be restricted, preventing it from swinging downward. It is simple and convenient to use.
[0027] like Figure 4 The edges of the slots 12 on the rotating ring 9 are all chamfered edges 17. The purpose of this setting is that the insertion rod 10 can be easily inserted into the slot 12 through the chamfered edges 17 at the slot opening, making it simple and convenient to use.
[0028] like Figure 3 The mounting plate 5 is mounted on the column 1 by bolts 18. The purpose of this setting is that the mounting plate 5 can be easily mounted on the column 1 by bolts 18, and the assembly and disassembly are simple.
[0029] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
