Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor tent connection structure technology, specifically to a snap-fit ​​connector for tent support tubes. Background Technology

[0002] Existing elastic connectors for marbled tents mostly use a single snap-fit ​​design, where the snap-fit ​​is inserted into a pre-drilled hole in the tent tube to be connected for secure fastening. However, this structure has the following drawbacks: Limited fixing strength: Single-point snap-fit ​​is prone to loosening or rotation at the connection point, which may lead to instability of the tent structure after long-term use.

[0003] Inconvenient to operate: When disassembling, it is necessary to press the locking post with force to retract it, which can easily pinch fingers and result in a poor user experience.

[0004] Insufficient durability: Some products lack reinforcement measures, and the snap-fit ​​posts are prone to loosening after long-term stress, resulting in a shortened service life of the connectors.

[0005] Therefore, the existing single-card connector structure has room for improvement in terms of robustness, ease of operation, and safety. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology by providing a connector for a marble tent. It utilizes the elasticity of the sheet material to achieve a double-point snap-fit ​​connection, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly, and improves the connection strength and safety of use.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: it includes a connecting plate 1, which is a curved structure forming an elastic body. The two ends of the connecting plate 1 are a fixed end 11 and an elastic end 12, which are integral structures. Two parallel locking posts 2 are provided on the outer side of the fixed end 11, and the locking posts 2 are fixed on the connecting plate 1. The locking posts 2 include a first locking post 21 that is close to the opening side and a second locking post 22 that is away from the opening side.

[0008] A reinforcing plate 4 is provided on the inner side of the fixed end 11, and the reinforcing plate 4 is fixed to the fixed end 11. The reinforcing plate 4 can enhance the strength of the fixed end and ensure the stability of the snap-fit ​​post 2.

[0009] The snap-fit ​​post 2 is inserted into the fixed end 11 and the reinforcing plate 4 and fixed by the rivet post 5 on the inner side of the reinforcing plate 4.

[0010] The elastic end 12 has an inwardly bent end 121 at its tail end. The bent end 121 facilitates the insertion of the integral connecting plate 11 into the connected tube after bending, and also facilitates smooth passage within the connected tube after insertion.

[0011] The first snap-fit ​​post 21 and the second snap-fit ​​post 22 form a double-point snap-fit.

[0012] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: It consists of a bent connecting plate 1, with a fixed end 11 and an elastic end 12 at its two ends. The overall snap-fit ​​function is achieved by relying on the elasticity of the plate itself. Two snap-fit ​​posts 2 are arranged side by side on the outer side of the fixed end 11, and a reinforcing plate 4 is added on the inner side of the fixed end 11. The snap-fit ​​posts 2 are inserted between the fixed end 11 and the reinforcing plate 4, and are riveted and fixed by the riveting posts 5 on the inner side of the reinforcing plate, thereby improving the stability and pull-out resistance of the snap-fit ​​posts.

[0013] In use, the first mounting tube A and the second mounting tube B of the marble tent are interlocked. The first mounting tube A is inserted into the second mounting tube B. Both the first mounting tube A and the second mounting tube B are provided with fixing holes for the insertion of the snap-fit ​​post 2. The second mounting tube B has a snap-fit ​​groove near its opening. The snap-fit ​​groove can be circular, straight, or other shapes. The connector of this utility model is inserted into the connection between the two. The first snap-fit ​​post 21 snaps into the corresponding fixing holes of the first mounting tube A and the second mounting tube B. The second snap-fit ​​post 22 passes through the fixing clip of the first mounting tube A on the inner side and snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove, forming a fixed connection between the two mounting tubes. When disassembly is required, the user only needs to press the snap-fit ​​post in the snap-fit ​​groove to disassemble, without needing to press the other snap-fit ​​post that passes through the two mounting tubes, because pressing the snap-fit ​​post that passes through the two mounting holes can easily cause pinching injury to the user's fingers. This utility model uses the second snap-fit ​​post in the open snap-fit ​​groove, which is convenient for pressing and disassembly without causing injury to the user's fingers.

[0014] The tail end of the elastic end 12 is provided with an inwardly bent end 121. When the tent tube is inserted, the bent end 121 acts as a guide, allowing the entire connecting plate 1 to be smoothly compressed and inserted into the tube under pressure. After being inserted into place, it recovers its elasticity, and the locking pin 2 automatically springs into the hole in the tent tube wall to complete the positioning. The two locking pins 2 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the connecting plate 1 to form a double-point locking, which not only improves the stability of the connection but also reduces the possibility of rotation or shaking.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model after adopting the above technical solution are as follows: It uses two snap-fit ​​posts to form a double-point snap-fit ​​structure, which effectively avoids the problem of easy loosening or rotation of single-point snap-fit, thus improving the overall stability of the tent frame. A reinforcing plate is added to the fixed end and fixed in conjunction with the riveting posts, making the connection between the snap-fit ​​posts and the connecting plate more reliable and enhancing tensile and deformation resistance. The bent end at the end of the elastic end plays a guiding and smooth transition role during insertion, allowing users to easily insert the connector into the tube, making the assembly and disassembly process smoother and avoiding the risk of finger pinching. The overall structure utilizes the elasticity of the sheet metal itself, without relying on additional springs, reducing the number of parts, lowering the risk of damage, and extending the product's service life.

[0019] See Figure 1-5 As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is as follows: It includes a connecting plate 1, which is a curved structure forming an elastic body. The two ends of the connecting plate 1 are a fixed end 11 and an elastic end 12, respectively. The fixed end 11 and the elastic end 12 are an integral structure. Two parallel snap-fit ​​posts 2 are provided on the outer side of the fixed end 11. The snap-fit ​​posts 2 are fixed to the connecting plate 1. The snap-fit ​​posts 2 include a first snap-fit ​​post 21 that is close to the opening side and a second snap-fit ​​post 22 that is away from the opening side. A reinforcing plate 4 is provided on the inner side of the fixed end 11 and is fixed to the fixed end 11. The reinforcing plate 4 can enhance the strength of the fixed end and ensure the stability of the snap-fit ​​posts 2. The snap-fit ​​posts 2 are inserted into the fixed end 11 and the reinforcing plate 4 and fixed by the riveting posts 5 on the inner side of the reinforcing plate 4. The tail end of the elastic end 12 is provided with an inwardly bent end 121. The bent end 121 can facilitate the insertion of the entire connecting plate 11 into the connected pipe after bending, and can also facilitate smooth passage in the connected pipe after insertion. The two snap-fit ​​posts 2 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the connecting plate 1 to form a double-point snap-fit.

[0020] It consists of a bent connecting plate 1, with a fixed end 11 and an elastic end 12 at its two ends. The entire assembly relies on the elasticity of the plate itself to achieve the snap-fit ​​function. Two parallel snap-fit ​​posts 2 are provided on the outer side of the fixed end 11, and a reinforcing plate 4 is added on its inner side. The snap-fit ​​posts 2 are inserted between the fixed end 11 and the reinforcing plate 4, and are riveted and fixed by riveting posts 5 on the inner side of the reinforcing plate, thereby improving the stability and pull-out resistance of the snap-fit ​​posts. The tail end of the elastic end 12 has an inwardly bent end 121. When the tent tube is inserted, the bent end 121 acts as a guide, allowing the entire connecting plate 1 to be smoothly compressed and inserted into the tube under pressure. After insertion, it recovers its elasticity, and the snap-fit ​​posts 2 automatically spring into the holes in the tent tube wall to complete the positioning. The two snap-fit ​​posts 2 are arranged axially spaced along the connecting plate 1, forming a double-point locking, which improves the stability of the connection and reduces the possibility of rotation or shaking.

[0021] It employs a dual-point snap-fit ​​structure with two snap-fit ​​posts, effectively avoiding the problems of loosening or rotation that can occur with single-point snap-fits, thus improving the overall stability of the tent frame. A reinforcing plate is added to the fixed end, and it is secured with riveting posts, making the connection between the snap-fit ​​posts and the connecting plate more reliable and enhancing tensile and deformation resistance. The bent end at the elastic tail acts as a guide and smooth transition during insertion, allowing users to easily insert the connector into the tube, making assembly and disassembly smoother and avoiding the risk of finger pinching. The overall structure utilizes the inherent elasticity of the sheet metal, eliminating the need for additional springs, reducing the number of parts, lowering the risk of damage, and extending the product's lifespan.
