[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit its scope. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present utility model.

[0047] Example 1: See Figure 1 A tent connector includes a connector 1 for connecting tent poles and a fixing seat 2 integrally formed with the connector 1. The fixing seat 2 has fixing holes 3, through which screws or bolts are used to fix it to the required parts. This is advantageous because, in use, the tent poles only need to be fixed to the connector 1 or detached from the connector 1, which facilitates disassembly and installation. It also facilitates installation to corresponding parts, greatly increasing the range of applications.

[0048] Example 2: This can be explained based on Example 1, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting seat 1 is provided with an axial mounting groove 11. The mounting groove 11 is used for inserting and installing tent poles, and can also be used for pulling out tent poles. This facilitates the disassembly and installation of tent poles, making it easy to promote and apply on a large scale. The mounting groove 11 can be round or square, which is beneficial for installing round or square tent poles. The length of the connecting seat 1 is 5cm to 10cm, while the diameter of the mounting groove 11 is 0.4cm to 1.5cm, which is also beneficial for the installation of tent poles. Alternatively, the connecting seat 1 can be solid, and the tent poles can be installed together with the solid connecting seat 1 using a fastening sleeve. Further explanation is provided below. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a reinforcing rib 12 is provided between the connecting seat 1 and the fixed seat 2. This arrangement helps to improve the stability and structural integrity of both. It should also be noted that the connecting seat 1 is semi-circular, and correspondingly, the mounting groove 11 on the connecting seat 1 is also semi-circular. This arrangement also facilitates the installation of the tent frame poles.

[0049] In this configuration, the connecting seat 1 is arranged on the fixed seat 2 at angles ranging from 0° to 180°. This arrangement offers a variety of options and provides a wide range of choices. For example,... Figure 6As shown, the connecting seat 1 and the fixed seat 2 are perpendicularly distributed; secondly, the connecting seat 1 is tangentially arranged to the fixed seat 2. In this configuration, the connecting seat 1 and the fixed seat 2 are connected as a single unit. This arrangement helps to enhance the stability and integrity of the connection between the connecting seat 1 and the fixed seat 2. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the middle position of the connecting seat 1 is on the side of the fixing seat 2. For example, if the length of the connecting seat 1 is 6cm, then both ends of the connecting seat 1 on the side of the fixing seat 2 are 3cm apart, or as shown... Figure 8 The lower end face of the connecting seat 1 shown is tangentially arranged from the side of the fixed seat 2, which can meet a variety of usage requirements.

[0050] Example 3: This can be described based on Example 1 or Example 2, such as... Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, one end face of the fixing base 2 is on the same horizontal plane as the side face of the connecting base 1, while the other end face of the fixing base 2 is at a distance A from the side face of the connecting base 1, wherein the distance A is 3mm to 5mm, or as shown in the figure. Figure 11 and Figure 12 The side surface of the connecting seat 1 is spaced by a distance B from the end surface of the corresponding fixing seat 2, where each distance B is 3mm to 5mm. This arrangement helps to reduce scratches on the tent frame poles mounted on the connecting seat 1, thereby reducing damage to the tent frame poles. It also facilitates friction between the tent frame poles and the mounted components, resulting in smoother operation. Figure 3 The side surface of the connecting seat 1 protrudes 3 mm to 8 mm from one end of the fixing seat 2, or as shown. Figure 14 and Figure 15 The side surface of the connecting seat 1 protrudes 3mm to 8mm from the end surface of the corresponding fixing seat 2. This design allows the tent poles to slide normally, or as... Figure 16 and Figure 17 The connecting seat 1 protrudes 3 mm to 8 mm from one end face of the fixing seat 2, and the other side face of the connecting seat 1 is 3 mm to 5 mm away from one end face of the fixing seat 2. In this utility model, the sliding of the tent frame poles is used to unfold or fold up the tent.

[0051] Example 4: Based on Example 1, Example 2, or Example 3, the fixing base 2 is provided with at least one mounting hole 21, and a locking element is installed in the mounting hole 21. The locking element is generally a screw or bolt, etc. This allows multiple tent connectors of this invention to be installed using the locking element. In this way, only a larger fixing base 2 is needed to install smaller tent connectors. For example... Figure 18 The mounting base 2 shown has two mounting holes 21, which can be used to connect and install three tent poles, or as... Figure 19 The mounting base 2 shown has four mounting holes 21, which can be used to connect and install five tent poles, or as... Figure 20 The mounting base 2 shown has six mounting holes 21, which can be used to connect and install seven tent poles. There are various types available, offering a wide range of choices.

[0052] The fixing base 2 can be round, square, trapezoidal, petal-shaped, etc., and the choice can be made according to the actual situation.

[0053] Example 5: Based on Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, or Example 4, both the connecting seat 1 and the fixing seat 2 are integrally molded from a rigid material, such as plastic or metal (generally aluminum, iron, or copper, etc.); or both the connecting seat 1 and the fixing seat 2 are made of soft plastic, i.e., thermoplastic plastic. The fixing seat 2 has at least two connecting seats 1, so that one fixing seat 2 can simultaneously connect and install multiple tent poles, for example... Figure 21 The fixed base 2, made of soft plastic, has two soft plastic connecting seats 1 integrally formed on it, so that the two connecting seats 1 can install two tent poles at the same time.

[0054] like Figure 22 As shown, this utility model allows the tent frame pole to be installed on the connecting seat 1 of the fixing seat 2, and then fixed to the required parts through the fixing holes 3 on the fixing seat 2 with screws or bolts. In this way, the tent frame pole can be unfolded or folded by rotating the connecting seat 1 around the center of the fixing holes 3, which is beneficial to meet the needs of unfolding or folding outdoor tents. It can be used in outdoor swimming pools, trampolines (usually round or square trampolines), jumping beds or leisure chairs, etc., greatly expanding the scope of use and better meeting the needs of use.

[0055] All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market, and the specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts and rivets that are mature in the existing technology, which will not be described in detail here.

[0056] It should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described herein, this does not limit the scope of patent protection for this utility model. Therefore, any changes and modifications made to the embodiments based on the innovative concept of this utility model, or equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model's specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of protection of this utility model patent.
