Tent ground peg structure

Abstract

This utility model discloses a tent peg structure, relating to the field of outdoor products. The key technical points are: it includes a peg body comprising a detachably connected ground-breaking section and a striking section. The ground-breaking section has a conical portion and a frustum at both ends, with external threads on the frustum. A circular cavity is formed in the ground-breaking section, and a through groove is formed on its outer peripheral wall. A deformable insert is located in the circular cavity. The striking section has an annular groove and a threaded hole, with a push rod threaded into the threaded hole. The push rod threaded into the threaded hole allows the deformable insert to maintain its deformed state, ensuring its stability when inserted into the soil and increasing the contact area between the tent peg and the soil. Simultaneously, the soil above the deformable insert is not damaged by the conical portion but directly presses onto the deformable insert, allowing this soil portion to also provide downward pressure on the tent peg, reducing the possibility of the tent peg being pulled out in strong winds and other weather conditions, and improving the tent peg's pull-out resistance.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor products, and more specifically, to tent peg structures. Background Technology

[0002] Tent tent pegs are key accessories used to secure tents and other equipment during outdoor camping. Their core function is to ensure the tent is stable and wind-resistant under various ground conditions. Tent tent pegs consist of a peg body and a rope loop fixed to the peg body. The end of the peg body has a relatively sharp conical part. When using it, the conical part needs to be facing the soil, and the end of the peg body needs to be gently tapped with a hammer or other tool to make most of the peg body sink into the soil. The rope loop is used to pass through the fixing rope to achieve the effect of securing the tent and other equipment.

[0003] However, since the outer walls of the pegs are mostly round, they are easily pulled out of the soil by the wind during windy weather, affecting their ability to secure tents and other structures.

[0004] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tent peg structure.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a tent peg structure, including a peg body, the peg body including a soil-breaking section and a striking section that are detachably connected to each other; one end of the soil-breaking section is provided with a conical part, the other end of the soil-breaking section is provided with a frustum part, the frustum part is provided with an external thread, a circular cavity extending to the top surface of the frustum part is opened in the soil-breaking section, a plurality of through grooves communicating with the circular cavity are opened on the outer peripheral wall of the soil-breaking section, and a deformation insert is provided in the circular cavity; one end of the striking section is provided with an annular groove for embedding the frustum part, the outer peripheral wall of the annular groove is threadedly connected to the external thread, a threaded hole is opened in the striking section, and a top rod for allowing the deformation insert to pass through the through groove and be inserted into the soil is threadedly connected in the threaded hole, and a rope loop is fixed to the end of the top rod away from the deformation insert.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: a plurality of anti-rotation plates are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the striking section, and the side wall of the anti-rotation plates facing away from the soil breaking section is set lower than the end face of the striking section.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the cross-section of the anti-rotation plate is a right-angled trapezoid, the bottom of the anti-rotation plate is fixed on the striking section, and the inclined side of the anti-rotation plate faces the soil breaking section.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the deformable insert includes a substrate and a plurality of L-shaped pieces arranged equidistantly along the circumference of the substrate, and the top rod includes a tapered portion for abutting against the L-shaped pieces.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: an inclined groove is provided on the end face of the striking section facing away from the breaking section, close to the outer edge of the threaded hole.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the breaking section and the striking section are both made of polypropylene material, and the conical part is made of stainless steel material.

[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: The threaded rod connected to the threaded hole can maintain the deformable insert in a deformed state, ensuring the stability of the deformable insert inserted into the soil and increasing the contact area between the tent peg and the soil. At the same time, the soil above the deformable insert is not destroyed by the conical part but is directly pressed on the deformable insert, so that this part of the soil can also provide downforce for the tent peg, reducing the possibility of the tent peg being pulled out in strong winds and other weather conditions, and improving the pull-out resistance of the tent peg. When the breaking section or striking section is damaged and needs to be replaced, the breaking section and the striking section can be rotated relative to each other, causing the truncated cone to disengage from the annular groove. The damaged breaking section or striking section can then be replaced, while the intact striking section or breaking section can continue to be used, reducing resource waste and improving utilization.

[0015] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0016] The tent peg structure includes a peg body, which comprises an insert end and a striking section 2 that are detachably connected to each other. One end of the ground-breaking section 1 has a conical portion 3, and the other end has a frustum 4. The frustum 4 has external threads 5. A cavity 6 extending through to the top surface of the frustum 4 is formed in the ground-breaking section 1. Several through grooves 7 connecting the cavity 6 are formed on the outer peripheral wall of the ground-breaking section 1. Deformable inserts are attached and connected to the cavities 6. One end of the striking section 2 has an annular groove 8 for embedding the frustum 4. The outer peripheral wall of the annular groove 8 is threadedly connected to the external threads 5. A threaded hole 9 is formed in the striking section 2, penetrating the striking section 2. A deformable insert is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 9 to allow the through groove to pass through. 7. The top rod is inserted into the soil. The deformable insert is made of high-ductility stainless steel, preferably 316L stainless steel. The deformable insert made of this material has good deformation ability. When the top rod no longer contacts the deformable insert, the deformable insert can return to its original shape and no longer be inserted into the soil under the material's own ability. The end of the top rod away from the deformable insert is fixed with a rope loop 10. When using tent pegs, the conical part 3 is brought into contact with the soil. Then, the end face of the striking part is gently tapped with a hammer or other tools to make most of the breaking section 1 and the striking section 2 submerged in the soil. Then, the top rod is screwed into the threaded hole 9. The top rod contacts the deformable insert, so that part of the deformable insert passes through the hole. The groove 7 is inserted into the soil to complete the installation of the tent pegs. Then, the fixing ropes for the tent, etc., can be passed through the rope loop 10. The push rod, threaded into the threaded hole 9, can keep the deformable insert in a deformed state, ensuring the stability of the deformable insert inserted into the soil and increasing the contact area between the tent pegs and the soil. At the same time, the soil above the deformable insert is not damaged by the conical part 3 but is directly pressed on the deformable insert, so that this part of the soil can also provide downward pressure for the tent pegs, reducing the possibility of the tent pegs being pulled out in strong winds and other weather conditions, and improving the pull-out resistance of the tent pegs. When the breaking section 1 or the striking section 2 is damaged and needs to be replaced, it can be done by connecting the breaking section 1 and the striking section. 2. Relative rotation occurs, causing the frustum 4 to disengage from the annular groove 8. Then, the damaged breaking section 1 or striking section 2 is replaced, while the intact striking section 2 or breaking section 1 can continue to be used, reducing resource waste and improving utilization. It should be noted that when fixing the frustum 4 in the annular groove 8, thread-locking adhesive should be used to bond the breaking section 1 and striking section 2. The torque for breaking the bond should not exceed 30 N·m. This setting can ensure the connection stability between the external thread 5 and the outer peripheral wall of the annular groove 8, prevent relative rotation between the breaking section 1 and striking section 2 during the use of the tent pegs, and facilitate the subsequent disassembly of the breaking section 1 and striking section 2.

[0017] Several anti-rotation plates 11 are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the striking section 2. When the striking section 2 is submerged in the soil, half of the height of the anti-rotation plates 11 should be submerged in the soil. When the top rod is screwed into the threaded hole 9, the anti-rotation plates 11 also come into contact with the soil, which can effectively prevent the striking section 2 from rotating with the top rod and ensure the stability of the part of the striking section 2 submerged in the soil. The side wall of the anti-rotation plates 11 facing away from the soil breaking section 1 is set lower than the end face of the striking section 2. This setting can reduce the possibility of the hammer directly colliding with the anti-rotation plates 11 when the striking part is lightly tapped by tools such as hammers, and reduce the possibility of the anti-rotation plates 11 being damaged by the hammer. The cross-section of the anti-rotation plates 11 is set in a right-angled trapezoid, and the bottom of the anti-rotation plates 11 is fixed on the striking section 2, with the hypotenuse of the anti-rotation plates 11 facing the soil breaking section. The section 1 is designed so that, as the anti-rotation plate 11 is driven into the soil by the impact section 2, the side wall where the upper inclined edge of the anti-rotation plate 11 is located can guide the soil, reducing the resistance of the impact section 2 into the soil and facilitating the installation of tent pegs. The deformable insert includes a base plate 12 and several L-shaped plates 13 equidistantly arranged along the circumference of the base plate 12. The base plate 12 and the L-shaped plates 13 are made from the same 316L stainless steel sheet through processes such as punching, bending, and shaping. This design ensures the strength of the connection between the base plate 12 and all the L-shaped plates 13. The base plate 12 is fixed to the bottom wall of the circular cavity 6, and the ends of all the L-shaped plates 13 away from the base plate 12 are inclined towards the central axis of the breaking section 1. The top rod includes a tapered part for abutting against the L-shaped plates 13. When the conical part does not contact the L-shaped piece 13, part of the L-shaped piece 13 is in the through groove 7 but not exposed on the outer wall of the breaking section 1. When people turn the top rod, the conical part will contact all the L-shaped pieces 13, so that the part of the L-shaped piece 13 in the through groove 7 is exposed on the outer wall of the breaking section 1 and inserted into the soil under the action of the outer wall of the conical part. The number of L-shaped pieces 13 should not be less than 3 pieces, so as to ensure the downward pressure of the soil on the L-shaped pieces 13 and improve the stability of the tent pegs. The end face of the striking section 2 facing away from the breaking section 1 is provided with a sloping groove 14 near the outer edge of the threaded hole 9. When the striking section 2 is struck by tools such as hammers, it may damage the end face of the striking section 2. The opening of the sloping groove 14 makes the threaded hole 9 on the end face of the striking section 2 The opening on the top is relatively large, so even if the end face of the striking section 2 is partially damaged, it will not affect the opening of the threaded hole 9 on the striking section 2 facing away from the breaking section 1, and will not affect the process of screwing the top rod into the threaded hole 9. Both the breaking section 1 and the striking section 2 are made of polypropylene material. Polypropylene material has excellent mechanical strength, which can ensure the strength of the breaking section 1 and the striking section 2 while reducing the mass of the breaking section 1 and the striking section 2, thus improving the portability of the tent pegs. The conical part 3 is made of stainless steel material and is bonded to the breaking section 1. It is recommended to use stainless steel of grade 304 or higher. Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, which makes the conical part 3 less prone to corrosion in environments that are in long-term contact with soil, thus improving the service life of the conical part 3.
