[0006] To achieve its purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] Folding tent, including:

[0008] Ceiling; and

[0009] A support frame is detachably installed at the bottom of the canopy. The support frame includes two sets of support components that can rotate relative to each other. When the two sets of support components rotate relative to each other, they can switch between an unfolded state and a folded state.

[0010] Each of the support components includes two movable rods and one crossbar. The two movable rods are respectively connected to the lower ends of the crossbar. The movable rods of the two sets of support components are rotatably connected to each other, so that the two sets of support frames can switch between an unfolded state and a folded state.

[0011] Furthermore, the movable rod and crossbar of each set of support components are rotatable, allowing the movable rod and crossbar to switch between an unfolded state and a folded state.

[0012] In some embodiments, the crossbars between the two sets of support components are arranged in parallel, and when the two sets of support components are in the unfolded state, the movable rods of the two sets of support components intersect in an X-shape, and when the two sets of support components are in the folded state, the movable rods of the two sets of support components are arranged in a straight line side by side.

[0013] In some embodiments, a rotating element is also included, wherein the rotating element is provided on both movable rods of one set of support components, and the set of support components is rotatably connected to the movable rods of another set of support components through the rotating element; or, the rotating element is provided on one of the movable rods of both sets of support components, and the movable rods of one set of support components with the rotating element are rotatably connected to the movable rods of another set without the rotating element through the rotating element.

[0014] In some embodiments, the rotating component is Z-shaped, and one of the movable rods is divided into two segments, which are connected to both ends of the rotating component and are arranged in the same direction.

[0015] In some embodiments, a support rod is also included, with both ends of the support rod respectively fixed to two relatively rotatable movable rods of the two sets of support components;

[0016] When the two sets of support components are deployed, the support rod and the two movable rods connected to it form a triangular stable structure.

[0017] In some embodiments, a stabilizer bar is also included, with both ends of the stabilizer bar connected between the movable bar and the crossbar of the same set of support components;

[0018] When the movable rod and the crossbar are in the extended state, the stabilizing rod, the movable rod, and the crossbar form a triangular stabilizing structure.

[0019] In some embodiments, the canopy is provided with a fixing clip, which has a locking notch for engaging with the crossbar.

[0020] In some embodiments, the bottom of the movable rod is provided with a rotatable support foot, the top of the support foot is connected to the end of the movable rod that is not connected to the crossbar, and the bottom surface of the support foot is a plane.

[0021] In some embodiments, the support leg is rotatably connected to the end of the movable rod.

[0022] The folding tent of this invention allows the movable poles to rotate relative to each other, and the movable poles and crossbars to rotate relative to each other, enabling the support frame to be folded multiple times, greatly improving the compression rate of the tent and reducing storage space.

[0023] The folding tent of this invention is equipped with stabilizing poles and support poles, which can stabilize the movement between the movable poles and between the movable poles and the crossbars, effectively suppressing the deformation of the support frame and improving the wind load resistance.

Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a folding tent includes a canopy 100 and a support frame 200 disposed at the bottom of the canopy 100. The canopy 100 is a generally arc-shaped cover. The support frame 200 is detachably installed under the canopy 100 to serve as a support part of the canopy 100. A tent structure can be formed between the canopy 100 and the support frame 200. The support frame 200 can be unfolded and folded, making the tent easy to store and transport.

[0039] Among them, see Figures 4 to 5 The support frame 200 includes two sets of support components 210 that can rotate relative to each other. When the two sets of support components 210 rotate relative to each other, they can overlap, so that the support frame 200 can be folded for easy tent storage.

[0040] Preferably, the support assembly 210 includes movable rods 211 and crossbars 212 connecting the movable rods 211. Each set of support assemblies 210 has two movable rods 211 and one crossbar 212. The two movable rods 211 are connected to the lower ends of the crossbar 212, so that the support assembly 210 forms a roughly U-shaped structure. When the two sets of support assemblies 210 on the support frame 200 are installed with relative rotation, the movable rods 211 of the two sets of support assemblies 210 can be in an X-shape or a straight line. The two crossbars 212 on the two sets of support assemblies 210 are arranged in parallel. When the two sets of support assemblies 210 rotate relative to each other, the two crossbars 212 can move closer to each other or move away from each other, so that the support frame 200 can be unfolded or folded. When the two crossbars 212 are far apart from each other, they are used to support the opposite sides of the ceiling 100, so that the ceiling 100 is stably supported.

[0041] The support component 210 is equipped with a rotating part 213. The two sets of support components 210 are rotatably connected through the rotating part 213, so as to realize the unfolding and folding of the support frame 200. When the tent needs to be stored, the two sets of support components 210 can be merged together by the action of the rotating part 213, from the X-shaped state to the straight and close-fitting state, thereby reducing the space occupied by the tent when it is stored, making it convenient to carry and store.

[0042] Preferably, each of the two movable rods 211 in one of the two sets of support components 210 is provided with a rotating member 213. The movable rods 211 of the support component 210 are rotatably mounted on the movable rods 211 of the other set of support components 210 through the rotating member 213, so that the two sets of support components 210 can rotate relative to each other to form an X-shaped structure for support or rotate into a straight structure for storage.

[0043] Furthermore, in the support component 210, a movable rod 211 with a rotating member 213 is divided into two sections, and the two sections of the movable rod 211 are connected by the rotating member 213. When the two sections of the movable rod 211 are connected by the rotating member 213, the two sections of the movable rod 211 are in the same direction.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating member 213 is a roughly Z-shaped structural plate with its two ends bent at approximately 90 degrees in different directions. The two ends are used to connect two movable rods 211, making the two movable rods 211 parallel, thus forming a movable rod 211 in one direction. The middle part of the rotating member 213 is installed in the middle of the movable rod 211 in another set of support components 210 by bolts or other fasteners. The two ends of the rotating member 213 are rotatably connected to the two movable rods 211, allowing the two movable rods 211 to rotate independently and be stored in the upper and lower parts of the movable rod 211 in the other set of support components 210, thus completing the folding.

[0045] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, both sets of support components 210 are provided with rotating members 213. For example, in one set of support components 210, the movable rod 211 on the lower left side of the crossbar 212 is provided with a rotating member 213, and the movable rod 211 on the lower right side of the crossbar 212 in the other set of support components 210 is provided with a rotating member 213. The movable rods 211 on the left and right sides of the two sets of support components 210 are rotatably connected by the rotating members 213. As long as the two sets of support components 210 can rotate between each other, there is no limitation here.

[0046] The movable rod 211 and the crossbar 212 can also rotate, so that the movable rod 211 and the crossbar 212 of each set of support components 210 can also fold themselves, so that the support frame 200 can be folded more thoroughly and occupy less space.

[0047] Preferably, the movable pole 211 is also provided with a connecting joint 214, and the crossbar 212 is rotatably connected to the movable pole 211 through the connecting joint 214, so that the movable pole 211 and the crossbar 212 are stably connected together. When the tent is unfolded, the crossbar 212 and the movable pole 211 together form the frame structure of the tent, providing support for the canopy 100 and ensuring the overall structural integrity of the tent. When storing, the two movable poles 211 and one crossbar 212 are folded together in three sections through the connecting joint 214, which facilitates storage and saves space.

[0048] Specifically, see Figure 2In this embodiment, the connecting joint 214 includes a longitudinal connecting part 2141 and a transverse connecting part 2142, which are connected to each other in a roughly L-shaped structure. The longitudinal connecting part 2141 is roughly a semi-enclosed sleeve structure and is used to fix it to the movable rod 211. The movable rod 211 cannot rotate relative to the longitudinal connecting part 2141. The transverse connecting part 2142 includes two side plates for connecting to the upper end of the longitudinal connecting part 2141. That is, the upper and lower sides of the transverse connecting part 2142 are not obstructed. The crossbar 212 is rotatably connected to the side of the transverse connecting part 2142. That is, the crossbar 212 is rotatably installed between the two side plates, so that the crossbar 212 can be folded in the vertical direction relative to the connecting joint 214, and the movable rod 211 and the crossbar 212 can be folded together.

[0049] When two movable rods 211 of a set of support components 210 are connected to both ends of a crossbar 212 via two connecting joints 214, the two connecting joints 214 are installed in the same direction at both ends of the crossbar 212, allowing the two movable rods 211 to be folded to both sides of the crossbar 212 respectively. Specifically, in this embodiment, refer to... Figure 4 When the right movable rod 211 is connected to the right end of the crossbar 212 via the connecting joint 214, it can rotate 90 degrees relative to the crossbar 212. When the left movable rod 211 is connected to the crossbar 212 via the connecting joint 214, since there is no obstruction on its left side, the movable rod 211 can rotate 270 degrees relative to the crossbar 212, so that both movable rods 211 on the set of support components 210 can be folded on both sides of the crossbar 212.

[0050] Preferably, the support frame 200 further includes a support rod 216 connected to a set of movable rods 211. The two ends of the support rod 216 are rotatably connected to two movable rods 211 that can rotate relative to each other between the two sets of support components 210. When the two movable rods 211 are unfolded, the support rod 216 and a portion of the two movable rods 211 form a triangular structure, which makes the unfolding of the set of movable rods 211 stable. When the two movable rods 211 are folded, the support rod 216 is removed between the two movable rods 211.

[0051] Preferably, a stabilizing rod 215 is provided between the crossbar 212 and the movable rod 211. One end of the stabilizing rod 215 is rotatably connected to one of the movable rod 211 and the crossbar 212, and the other end is detachably installed on the other of the movable rod 211 and the crossbar 212. When the movable rod 211 and the crossbar 212 are unfolded, the stabilizing rod 215 and part of the movable rod 211 and the crossbar 212 form a triangular structure. The stabilizing rod 215 effectively prevents the movable rod 211 and the crossbar 212 from shaking or deforming, making the crossbar 212 and the movable rod 211 stable when unfolded. When stored, the stabilizing rod 215 can also be removed between the movable rod 211 and the crossbar 212, so that the crossbar 212 can be combined with the movable rod 211 in a straight position and fit together without increasing too much storage space. It plays a dual role of good stability and easy storage.

[0052] Furthermore, the angle between the crossbar 212 and the movable bar 211 is limited to 90 degrees.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, one end of the stabilizer bar 215 is rotatably mounted on the end where the movable bar 211 connects to the crossbar 212, and the other end is provided with a hook 2151. The crossbar 212 is provided with protruding structures such as bolts for being hooked by the hook 2151. When the support frame 200 is unfolded, the movable bar 211 and the crossbar 212 are adjusted to a position of approximately 90 degrees. At this time, the hook 2151 on the stabilizer bar 215 can be used to hook onto the bolts on the movable bar 211, so that the movable bar 211 and the crossbar 212 are unfolded and stabilized.

[0054] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The canopy 100 has a fixing clip 110 at its bottom, and the canopy 100 is detachably connected to the crossbar 212 via the fixing clip 110. This allows for a detachable connection between the canopy 100 and the support frame 200, making it easy to fix the canopy 100 to the crossbar 212 and quick to separate it when needed, thus improving ease of use. Specifically, in this embodiment, the fixing clip 110 is a snap-fit ​​block provided at the bottom of the canopy 100, with a snap-fit ​​notch 111 on it. The size of the snap-fit ​​notch 111 is slightly larger than the diameter of the crossbar 212. When the canopy 100 and the support frame 200 are installed together, the crossbar 212 can be snapped into the snap-fit ​​notch 111, allowing for detachable installation between the canopy 100 and the support frame 200.

[0055] Preferably, the support frame 200 has support feet 217 at its bottom, which are rotatably mounted on the support frame 200. Specifically, there are four support feet 217, each with a flat bottom surface. The top of each support foot 217 is rotatably connected to the bottom of four movable rods 211 in the support frame 200. In use, the support feet 217 can be rotated so that their flat bottom surfaces face downwards to support the movable rods 211. This ensures that when the movable rods 211 of the support frame 200 are supported, the contact area with the ground or other supporting surfaces is large, preventing the movable rods 211 from inserting into the ground or other supporting surfaces and affecting the support balance.

[0056] When using this folding tent, the support frame 200 in its folded state is placed flat on the ground. The movable rods 211 are rotated; one side of the movable rod 211 rotates outward by 90° relative to the crossbar 212, and the other side rotates outward by 270° relative to the crossbar 212, so that both movable rods 211 of each support assembly 210 are perpendicular to the crossbar 212, forming a roughly U-shaped structure. Pulling the crossbars 212 of the two support assemblies 210 causes the movable rods 211 of the two support assemblies 210 to rotate from a parallel, straight position to an X-shaped cross position, thus stabilizing the tent. One end of pole 215 is hooked onto the protruding structure (such as a bolt) of movable pole 211 to form a triangular support. The two ends of support pole 216 are fixed between the two movable poles 211 of the same set of support components 210 to form an auxiliary triangular support. Then, the snap-fit ​​block at the bottom of the canopy 100 is aligned with the crossbar 212 of the support frame 200, and the canopy 100 is pressed down so that the crossbar 212 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​notch 111. Finally, the four support feet 217 at the bottom of the four movable poles 211 are rotated so that their flat bottom surfaces are in contact with the ground to increase the support area, thus completing the installation of the tent.

[0057] When packing up the tent, lift the canopy 100 upwards to disengage the crossbar 212 from the snap-fit ​​notch 111, remove the canopy 100, remove the hook 2151 of the stabilizer bar 215 on the crossbar 212, separate its connection from the protruding structure, disassemble the connection between the support bar 216 and the movable bar 211, rotate the connecting joint 214, and fold the movable bar 211 towards the crossbar 212 to flatten each set of support components 210. Push the crossbars 212 of the two sets of support components 210 closer to each other, and rotate the two sets of movable bars 211 from the X-shaped cross state to the straight side-by-side state, that is, store the segmented movable bars 211 above and below the other set of movable bars 211 to complete the overlapping and fitting. Rotate the support foot 217 to fit it against the bottom of the movable bar 211. Finally, stack the folded support frame 200 and the canopy 100 together and put them into the storage bag to complete the packing.

[0058] The folding tent provided by this utility model allows the movable poles 211 to rotate relative to each other, and the movable and crossbars 212 to rotate relative to each other, enabling the support frame 200 to be folded multiple times. This greatly improves the compression rate of the tent, reduces storage space, and the addition of stabilizing poles 215 and supporting poles 216 stabilizes the movable poles 211 and the crossbars 212, effectively suppressing deformation of the support frame 200 and improving wind resistance.

[0059] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and improvements fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
