Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of van-type deployment technology, and more specifically, to a rapid deployment mechanism for the side wing tent of a van. Background Technology

[0002] A van is a type of vehicle with a closed body as its core feature. Its body and cab are usually designed as one piece or two pieces. Its main function is to provide an independent and safe enclosed space for goods, equipment or for specific purposes (such as refrigeration or escort) to prevent external environmental factors (such as rain, dust, and low temperature) from affecting the contents.

[0003] In disaster relief and medical rescue scenarios, side-wing tents are often used as temporary command centers, medical points, or material transit warehouses. For example, after an earthquake, disaster areas need to quickly set up temporary medical tents to receive the injured. If the deployment speed is slow, it may delay the treatment of the injured. In outdoor construction, exhibition setup, and temporary storage scenarios, time is directly related to cost. For example, when engineering teams are working in the field, they need to use side-wing tents to set up temporary tool sheds. Therefore, a rapid deployment mechanism for van-type side-wing tents is provided. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a quick-deployment mechanism for the side wing tent of a van, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a quick-deployment mechanism for a side wing tent of a van, including a horizontal plate, with support components provided at both ends of the horizontal plate; The support assembly includes a reinforcing triangular plate disposed at the end of the horizontal plate. Two first gears are rotatably connected to one side of the reinforcing triangular plate, and a first hinge rod is respectively hinged to each of the first gears. A second hinge rod is hinged to the outer side of the first hinge rod, a third hinge rod is hinged to one end of the first hinge rod, and a fourth hinge rod is hinged to one end of both the third hinge rod and the second hinge rod.

[0006] Optionally, in a possible implementation, the third hinge rod is hinged to the reinforcing triangular plate, the cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing triangular plate is set to a triangle, the bottom of the reinforcing triangular plate is rotatably connected to a second gear, the second gear meshes with the first gear, the end of the horizontal plate facing the reinforcing triangular plate is provided with a mounting groove, a motor is provided in the mounting groove, the horizontal plate and the reinforcing triangular plate are detachably connected by bolts, the output end of the motor passes through the reinforcing triangular plate and extends to the second gear, and several support rods are installed on the fourth hinge rod by bolts, and the multiple support rods are arranged side by side; The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: Utilizing a combined structure of motor drive, gear transmission, and multi-link linkage, the motor output torque drives the second gear to rotate, synchronously driving two meshing first gears to rotate in opposite directions. This, in turn, causes the first, second, third, and fourth hinged rods to unfold in a coordinated manner. Compared to traditional manual assembly or single-link structures, this design achieves automated and rapid deployment and folding of the tent support structure, eliminating the need for manual adjustment of each component. In emergency scenarios such as disaster relief and medical rescue, it can quickly set up temporary command centers and medical points, preventing delays in treating the wounded or transferring supplies due to slow deployment speed. In outdoor construction and exhibition setup scenarios, it can also reduce time costs and improve operational efficiency.

[0007] The core of the support component uses a reinforced triangular plate with a triangular cross-section. Utilizing the geometric stability of triangles, it effectively resists deformation caused by outdoor wind and the load on the poles, preventing the tent support structure from tipping over or deforming. Furthermore, after the multi-link linkage structure is deployed, the first, second, and third hinged rods form a triangular support relationship, while the fourth hinged rod evenly bears the weight of the tent fabric through a support rod, resulting in more even force distribution and further enhancing the overall structure's load-bearing capacity. Simultaneously, the support rods secure the tent support keel, preventing the tent fabric from shifting and slipping due to wind, ensuring the tent remains stable even in complex environments such as rain and strong winds.

[0014] 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.

[0015] This embodiment discloses a rapid deployment mechanism for a van side wing tent, which aims to solve the problem that the deployment speed of van side wing tents in the prior art is slow and cannot meet the time-sensitive requirements in scenarios such as disaster relief, medical rescue, and outdoor construction. By using a motor-driven gear transmission in conjunction with multiple sets of hinged rods, the mechanism enables the rapid deployment and folding of the tent support structure, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0016] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the quick-deployment mechanism for the side wing tent of the van includes a horizontal plate 1. The horizontal plate 1 serves as the basic load-bearing component of the entire mechanism. Its length can be adjusted according to the design width of the side wing tent of the van. The material is high-strength aluminum alloy, which reduces the overall weight while ensuring structural strength and avoiding adding extra load to the van.

[0017] Two identical support components are installed at each end of the horizontal plate 1. These two sets of support components are symmetrically distributed to ensure the stability of the tent's support structure after deployment. The support components include a reinforcing triangular plate 2 at each end of the horizontal plate 1. The cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing triangular plate 2 is triangular, utilizing the geometric stability characteristics of a triangle to enhance the overall deformation resistance of the support component, effectively coping with external forces such as outdoor wind and loads. The horizontal plate 1 and the reinforcing triangular plate 2 are detachably connected by bolts. This connection method facilitates later maintenance and replacement of the support components. When a component is damaged, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire mechanism; simply unscrewing the bolts allows for individual replacement of the damaged component, reducing maintenance costs and operational difficulty.

[0018] like Figure 3 As shown, two first gears 3 are rotatably connected to one side of the reinforcing triangle plate 2. The two first gears 3 are symmetrically distributed, and a first hinge rod 4 is hinged to the outer end face of each first gear 3. The length of the first hinge rod 4 is designed according to the height requirement after the tent is unfolded. One end of the first hinge rod 4 is hinged to the edge of the first gear 3 through a pin to ensure that the first gear 3 can drive the first hinge rod 4 to make a circular motion synchronously when it rotates.

[0019] A second hinge rod 5 is hinged to the middle of the outer side of the first hinge rod 4. A third hinge rod 6 is hinged to the end of the first hinge rod 4 away from the first gear 3. The other end of the third hinge rod 6 is hinged to the reinforcing triangular plate 2, forming a triangular linkage structure. A fourth hinge rod 7 is hinged together to the end of the second hinge rod 5 away from the first hinge rod 4 and the end of the third hinge rod 6, serving as the main support carrier for the tent fabric. The first hinge rod 4, the second hinge rod 5, the third hinge rod 6, and the fourth hinge rod 7 together constitute a multi-link linkage mechanism. Through the hinged cooperation between the rods, a smooth transition from the folded state to the unfolded state can be achieved. After unfolding, the rods form a stable triangular support relationship, improving the structural load-bearing capacity.

[0020] like Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the reinforcing triangle 2 is rotatably connected to a second gear 8, which meshes with two first gears 3 to form a gear transmission mechanism. The diameter of the second gear 8 is larger than that of the first gear 3. The single-axis rotation of the second gear 8 can synchronously drive the two first gears 3 to rotate in opposite directions, ensuring that the movement directions of the two sets of first hinge rods 4 are consistent and avoiding mechanism jamming or misalignment.

[0021] A rectangular mounting slot is provided at the end of the horizontal plate 1 facing the reinforcing triangular plate 2. The size of the mounting slot is adapted to the shape of the motor 9. The motor 9 is fixedly installed in the mounting slot. The motor 9 is a servo motor with forward and reverse rotation and speed adjustment capabilities, which can precisely control the unfolding and retracting speed of the mechanism. The output end of the motor 9 passes through the central through hole of the reinforcing triangular plate 2 and extends to the center position of the second gear 8. It is fixed to the second gear 8 by a key connection to ensure that the torque output by the motor 9 can be fully transmitted to the second gear 8, driving the second gear 8 to rotate stably.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, several support rods 10 are evenly installed on the fourth hinge rod 7 by bolts. The multiple support rods 10 are arranged side by side along the length of the fourth hinge rod 7. The support rods 10 are set vertically upward to the fourth hinge rod 7. Arc-shaped grooves can be provided on them to place the supporting keel of the tent cloth, so as to prevent the tent cloth from shifting or slipping due to wind when used outdoors. The specific working principle is as follows: When the tent needs to be unfolded, the motor 9 is started. The output end of the motor 9 drives the second gear 8 to rotate clockwise. Since the second gear 8 meshes with the two first gears 3, it will synchronously drive the two first gears 3 to rotate counterclockwise. When the first gear 3 rotates, the first hinge rod 4, which is hinged at its edge, swings outward. At the same time, the first hinge rod 4 drives the second hinge rod 5 and the third hinge rod 6 to unfold. The third hinge rod 6 rotates around the hinge point with the reinforcing triangle plate 2 as the center, thereby pushing the fourth hinge rod 7 to move away from the horizontal plate 1. As the motor 9 continues to run, the fourth hinge rod 7 gradually unfolds to the horizontal position. At this time, the support rod 10 unfolds synchronously, supporting the tent fabric and completing the tent unfolding operation.

[0023] When the tent needs to be retracted, the control motor 9 reverses, and the motor 9 drives the second gear 8 to rotate counterclockwise, which in turn drives the two first gears 3 to rotate clockwise. The first hinge rod 4 swings inward, pulling the second hinge rod 5 and the third hinge rod 6 to fold. The fourth hinge rod 7 moves towards the horizontal plate 1, and finally the entire mechanism folds and retracts to both sides of the horizontal plate 1, completing the retraction operation.

[0024] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
