[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Please see Figure 1-8 A folding tent, comprising:

[0037] Tent Mattress 1: Tent Mattress 1 is a soft fabric mattress designed for portability. It is a single-layer soft fabric mattress with minimal deformation, designed for stable support when unfolded. The unfolded size is large enough to accommodate at least one person, such as 1.8*1M.

[0038] Folding frames 2 are provided at both ends of the tent mattress 1 for support. That is, at both ends of the long rectangular shape of the tent mattress 1, the tent mattress 1 is supported when unfolded in the length direction. The folding frames 2 unfold into an X-shaped structure to support the tent mattress 1. When the folding frames 2 unfold, the upper end of the X-shaped structure opens the tent mattress 1 outward to flatten it. In particular, when the X-shaped folding frame 2 is under force, its upper end stretches the tent mattress 1 to both sides to flatten it. Thus, the two sets of folding frames 2 can fully unfold the tent mattress 1 for use. When the folding frames 2 are folded, the tent mattress 1 is folded accordingly. The volume of the folding frame 2 in the folded state is equivalent to the overlapping of two support rod-like structures, which is easy to carry. The soft fabric mattress material of the tent mattress 1 can be folded freely, so the volume is very small. The overlapping of the two sets of folding frames 2 is equivalent to the volume of four parallel rod-like structures tied together. The tent mattress 1 can even be rolled up on the two overlapping sets of folding frames 2 for packing and carrying.

[0039] The traction rope 3 is fixedly connected to the tent mattress 1 along the axial centerline of the tent mattress 1, with both ends of the traction rope 3 extending beyond the ends of the tent mattress 1. After the tent mattress 1 is unfolded and supported by the folding frame 2 at both ends, it is pulled diagonally downwards by the traction rope 3 and fixed to the ground. Figure 3 As shown, the folding frame 2 can be stretched in the length direction of the tent mattress 1 by force and provide stable support. The downward force also keeps the folding frame 2 in an X-shaped structure so that it will not fold on its own. At the same time, it keeps the tent mattress 1 stretched and flat in the width direction, so that the tent mattress 1 can be stably kept in a horizontal unfolded state for people to lie on.

[0040] And a retractable canopy structure 4, which consists of two sets symmetrically arranged on both sides of the tent mattress 1, used to connect above the tent mattress 1 to form a canopy, such as Figure 1 As shown, the retractable canopy structure 4 on both sides is elastically bent to form an arc-shaped canopy structure to achieve the function of shielding. The retractable canopy structure 4 is installed on both sides of the folding frame 2 and can be stored in the folding frame 2. It is easy to carry after being retracted.

[0041] Furthermore, the tent mattress 1 is made of a thickened canvas, which is a high-density woven waterproof and abrasion-resistant fabric. It employs a high-density fiber weaving process and is coated with a waterproof layer, providing rainproof, sunproof, and flame-retardant properties. It is suitable for various scenarios such as outdoor covering, tool storage, and temporary setup. In this scenario, the high-density fiber structure is tear-resistant and abrasion-resistant, ensuring minimal deformation and structural stability when the tent mattress 1 is unfolded.

[0042] Furthermore, the tent mattress 1 is sewn with guide holes 101 for the traction rope 3 to pass through. The guide holes 101 are located along the axial center line of the tent mattress 1 along its length to guide the traction rope 3 and stabilize its position, thus ensuring stable stretching of the tent mattress 1 along its length and maintaining its unfolded, stable state. Combined with the support of the folding frames 2 at both ends, the tent mattress 1 can support the user lying down. To enhance stability, an additional set of folding frames 2 can be added in the middle of the tent mattress 1 for support; this conventional feature will not be described further.

[0043] Furthermore, the two ends of the traction rope 3 are fixed to the ground with ground pegs to maintain a stable and flattened state for the tent mattress 1.

[0044] Furthermore, the folding frame 2 is composed of two intersecting hollow tubes 201 connected by pins at the intersection to allow relative rotation. The tubes rotate around the pins as the axis of rotation to form an X-shaped structure. Combined with the stretching of the tent mattress 1 at the top of the folding frame 2, the structure resembles a folding stool, which can stably flatten the tent mattress 1.

[0045] Furthermore, the retractable canopy structure 4 includes carbon fiber elastic rods 401. Carbon fiber elastic rods 401 are installed on the four hollow tubes 201 in the folding frames 2 at both ends of the tent mattress 1. The carbon fiber elastic rods 401 are movable and extendable within the hollow tubes 201. The hollow structure of the hollow tubes 201 allows for... Figure 2 The key structure is entirely hollow to accommodate the movement and telescopic movement of the carbon fiber elastic rod 401, and can also be designed as follows: Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the hollow through-slot structure is designed only in a localized area to accommodate the movement and extension of the carbon fiber elastic rod 401. The carbon fiber elastic rod 401 moves into the hollow tube 201 to be stored. The carbon fiber elastic rod 401 is a rod-shaped structure made of carbon fiber with high elasticity and lightweight characteristics. It is widely used in sports and leisure, industrial equipment and other fields, such as fishing rods. In this embodiment, its lightweight and high elasticity characteristics are used to support the unfolding of the canopy cloth 402.

[0046] The tent mattress 1 is connected to the canopy fabric 402 between every two sets of carbon fiber elastic rods 401 on both sides, as shown. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the tops of the two canopy fabrics 402 on both sides of the tent mattress 1 are bent inward and joined together to form a canopy structure. This structure is arc-shaped. A connecting structure is provided between the two opposite carbon fiber elastic rods 401 on both sides of the tent mattress 1 so that the joined carbon fiber elastic rods 401 are connected to each other to form a stable canopy structure. When storing, it is only necessary to disconnect the connection, retract the carbon fiber elastic rods 401, and fold the canopy fabric 402 for storage.

[0047] Furthermore, the connection structure includes a barb 403 fixedly connected to the end of one of the carbon fiber elastic rods 401 and a hook 404 fixedly connected to the end of the other carbon fiber elastic rod 401. The two opposite carbon fiber elastic rods 401 on both sides of the tent mattress 1 are connected by the hook 404 and hung on the barb 403. After the two opposite carbon fiber elastic rods 401 on both sides of the tent mattress 1 are elastically bent inward and joined together, they are hung on the barb 403 by the hook 404 to achieve the connection at the end position between the two opposite carbon fiber elastic rods 401. Its elasticity makes it form an arc-shaped canopy and expand the canopy fabric 402 to form a canopy structure, which has a shading function, such as sunshade.

[0048] Furthermore, the upper end side of the hollow tube 201 is provided with a strip-shaped opening 202 that communicates with the hollow interior. The upper end of the strip-shaped opening 202 and located at the upper end of the hollow tube 201 is provided with a notch 203, the width of which is smaller than the width of the strip-shaped opening 202.

[0049] The lower end of the carbon fiber elastic rod 401 is connected to a limiting post 405, which slides within the strip-shaped opening 202.

[0050] The canopy fabric 402 connected to the carbon fiber elastic rod 401 extends out of the hollow tube 201 from the strip opening 202 and the notch 203.

[0051] Specifically, this structure allows for the storage of the carbon fiber elastic rod 401 and the canopy fabric 402, which is then stored along with the carbon fiber elastic rod 401. The carbon fiber elastic rod 401 only needs to extend into the hollow tube 201 for storage. In its natural state, the carbon fiber elastic rod 401 is a straight rod. During the movement of the carbon fiber elastic rod 401, the limiting post 405 slides within the strip-shaped opening 202 to guide its movement. More importantly, it is further limited by the notch 203 at the upper end of the strip-shaped opening 202. The notch 203 restricts the movement of the carbon fiber elastic rod 401 by limiting the movement of the limiting post 405, thus preventing the carbon fiber elastic rod 401 from completely detaching from the hollow tube 201. Additionally, as the carbon fiber elastic rod 401 extends into and out of the hollow tube 201, the canopy fabric 402 connected to the carbon fiber elastic rod 401 extends out of the hollow tube 201 from the strip opening 202 and the notch 203, and extends to the position of another carbon fiber elastic rod 401 for connection, so that the canopy fabric 402 can be unfolded by the two carbon fiber elastic rods 401. After the carbon fiber elastic rod 401 is stored, the canopy fabric 402 can also be folded and stored for easy carrying. The canopy fabric 402 can also be made of canvas material.

[0052] In summary, the main body of this folding tent consists of only a single-layer tent mattress and at least two sets of folding frames to support it. These frames are secured by tow ropes when unfolded. The structure is simple, the folded size is compact, and it also features a retractable canopy structure that can be hidden within the folding frames. Even with its small size, this folding tent still has a canopy structure, providing all the basic functions, including the ability to store the retractable canopy structure. Its overall compact size makes it even more convenient to carry after folding. Furthermore, in addition to its compact size when folded, this folding tent is also easy and quick to assemble and store, making it highly practical.

[0053] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
