[0025] To make the technical solution of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] Combined with appendix Figure 1-6 An automatic opening and closing tent frame includes a base support plate 1 and a flip support plate 2. The flip support plate 2 is rotatably connected to one side of the base support plate 1, and a cover plate 3 is rotatably provided on the other side of the base support plate 1. Tent support frames are installed on both the base support plate 1 and the flip support plate 2. By cooperating with the flip support plate 2 to rotate the tent support frame, the tent can be opened and closed simply by rotating the flip support plate 2.
[0028] The base support plate 1 and the flip support plate 2 are rotatably coupled. The flip support plate 2 rotates 180 degrees relative to the base support plate 1. When the flip support plate 2 is opened, it is connected to the side of the base support plate 1. When the flip support plate 2 is retracted, it covers the base support plate 1.
[0029] A fixed support frame 11 is fixedly mounted on one side of the base support plate 1 and the flip support plate 2. The fixed support frames 11 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the base support plate 1. Each fixed support frame 11 is fixed with two mounting plates 111. There is a gap between the two mounting plates 111. A driven tent support frame 12 is rotatably mounted between the two mounting plates 111. A driven tent support frame 12 is fixed together on the left and right fixed support frames 11. A crossbar is connected between the far ends of the driven tent support frame 12 to support the tent. The tent is equipped with Velcro. The middle position of the tent is fixedly connected to the driven tent support frame 12 through the Velcro. Thus, the driven tent support frame 12 is rotated by opening and closing the tent. The driven tent support frame 12 only supports the tent and does not have the function of controlling the opening of the tent.
[0030] A rotating plate 112 is fixedly provided on one side of the base support plate 1. The rotating plate 112 is hinged to the mounting plate 11 located on the inner side, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating plate 2 around the base support plate 1.
[0031] A mounting bracket 21 is fixedly provided on the side of the flip support plate 2 away from the base support plate 1. The mounting brackets 21 are correspondingly arranged on both sides of the flip support plate 21. An active support rod 22 is rotatably provided on the side of each mounting bracket 21 near the base support plate 1. A driving plate 4 is provided at the end of the active support rod 22 away from the mounting bracket 21 on both sides. The end of the active support rod 22 away from the mounting bracket 21 is rotatably located on the lower side of the driving plate 4. An active tent support frame 42 is rotatably provided on the upper side of the driving plates 4 on both sides. A crossbar is also fixedly provided at the far end of the active tent support frame 42 on both sides for supporting the tent. The active tent support frame 42 is used to support the end of the tent away from the cover plate 3. The top surface of the end of the tent away from the cover plate 3 is connected to the active tent support frame 42 by Velcro, so that the tent is opened by rotating the active tent support frame 42.
[0032] A terminal 41 is fixedly provided on the drive plate 4 between the active support rod 22 and the active tent support frame 42. The terminal 41 is fixedly located on the side of the drive plate 4 away from the base support plate 1.
[0033] A cable control component 23 is rotatably provided on the lower side of the mounting bracket 21 away from the base support plate 1. One end of the cable control component 23 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 21. The cable control component 23 has a grooved track inside, which prevents the cable from coming out of the cable control component 23. The cable enters the grooved track of the cable control component 23 from the side of the cable control component 23 located inside the mounting bracket 21, and is led out from the other end of the grooved track and fixed to the terminal 41.
[0034] The grooved track can be set as a linear track to prevent excessive friction between the line control component 23 and the line. By rounding the corners and polishing the surface of the grooved track as smoothly as possible, the line can move on the grooved track within the line control component 23.
[0035] A fixed cable end 13 is fixed on the base support plate 1. A transmission belt 5 is between the fixed cable end 13 and the connection terminal 41. The transmission belt 5 enters the groove track of the cable control component 23 after passing through the mounting bracket 21 and is finally connected to the connection terminal 41. Thus, when the tent is opened, the transmission belt 5 can fully pull the drive plate 4. The transmission belt 5 includes, but is not limited to, webbing, chain, and steel wire rope.
[0036] The cover plate 3 is a shell with an internal receiving cavity. The receiving cavity is used so that when the flip support plate 2 covers the base support plate 1, after the flip support plate 2 is flipped to fold and store the tent, the cover plate 3 can be directly covered on the base support plate 1, and the flip support plate 2 and the tent can be fastened in the receiving cavity.
[0037] The cover plate 3 and the base support plate 1 are rotated together by a hinge. A connecting line is provided between the base support plate 1 and the cover plate 3. The connecting line is preferably a non-elastic line. The connecting line is used to limit the maximum rotation angle of the cover plate 3 when it rotates.
[0038] A tent is fixed between the side of the cover plate 3 near the base support plate and the side of the flip support plate away from the base support plate. The tent can be fully opened by the cover plate 3, the active tent support frame 42 and the side of the flip support plate 2. The driven tent support frame 12 can provide sufficient support for the tent, ensuring that the middle position of the tent will not be sunken and ensuring the space inside the tent.
[0039] The base support plate 1 is also provided with a cover plate support rod. Both the cover plate 3 and the base support plate 1 are provided with support holes. When the cover plate 3 is opened to the specified angle, the cover plate support rod is inserted into the support holes on the cover plate 3 and the base support plate 1 to prevent the cover plate 3 from falling.
[0040] A limiting rod 24 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 21. The limiting rod 24 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the line control component 23 located on the mounting frame 21. So when the tent is opened, when the transmission belt 5 is stretched and drives the line control component 23 to rotate, the limiting rod 24 makes the line control component 23 rotate a certain angle and then can no longer rotate, so that the transmission belt 5 can pull the driving plate 4 at this time.
[0041] In use, simply rotating the flip support plate 2 is sufficient to open and close the tent. When the tent needs to be opened, rotate the opening cover plate 3 to the desired angle. Install the cover plate support rod between the cover plate 3 and the base support plate 1 to limit the cover plate 3. Rotate the flip support plate 2. As the flip support plate 2 rotates, the distance between the fixed wire end 13 and the terminal 41 increases. Since the length of the transmission belt 5 cannot be changed, when the fixed wire end 13 cannot move, the transmission belt 5 will pull the terminal 41 to move away from the base support plate 1. The terminal 41 drives the driving plate 4 to move synchronously. Due to the active support... The two ends of rod 22 are rotatably connected between the drive plate 4 and the mounting bracket 21, respectively. When the drive plate 4 moves, the active support rod 22 will rotate away from the base support plate 1. At this time, the end of the active tent support frame 42 near the drive plate 4 will swing away from the base support plate 1 in a square direction, while the end of the active tent support frame 42 away from the drive plate 4 will move diagonally upward. At this time, the active tent support frame 42 will expand and lift the end of the tent away from the cover plate 3. When the tent is expanded and lifted, it will simultaneously drive the driven tent support rod 12 to move, thereby driving the driven tent support rod 12 to a vertical state. The driven tent support rod 12 will then play a supporting role, and the tent will be fully opened.
[0042] When the tent needs to be retracted, rotate the flip support plate 2 towards the base support plate 1. During the rotation of the flip support plate 2, the transmission belt 5 will loosen, causing the drive plate 4 to move closer to the base support plate 1. At this time, the active tent support frame 42 rotates downward, and the active support rod 22 rotates towards the active support member 42. As the active tent support frame 42 moves closer to the base support plate 1, the active tent support frame 42 and the active support rod 22 eventually overlap. The overlapped active tent support frame 42 and the active support rod 22 cover the base support plate 1 from top to bottom, following the rotation of the flip support plate 2. At the same time, the driven tent support rod 12 also covers the base support plate 1. The structure between the base support plate 1 and the flip support plate 2, from bottom to top, consists of the driven tent support rod 12, the active tent support frame 42, and the active support rod 22. After completion, cover the base support plate 1 with the cover plate 3. The cover plate encloses the flip support plate 2, the driven tent support rod 12, the active tent support frame 42, and the active support rod 22 within the receiving cavity, completing the retraction of the tent.
[0043] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
