Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tent pole brackets, specifically to a steering connector, tent pole assembly, and bracket. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, consumers have higher requirements for the aesthetics, sturdiness, and ease of use of tent pole supports. Currently, tent pole supports on the market, whether horizontal or vertical, are usually round poles, which not only makes them easy to confuse during installation, but also makes them easy to roll due to their smooth surface. In addition, the various sizes and shapes of accessories make storage difficult for consumers, and reinstallation is also not easy.

[0003] To address this issue, manufacturers have designed folding frames that use twistable connectors to fold the poles up like an umbrella. However, this design is generally only suitable for cuboid tent pole frames, and the poles still retain a cylindrical shape for better folding. In practical use, U-shaped tent pole frames have gained significant market share due to their aesthetic appeal, ease of curtain raising, small footprint, and convenient installation.

[0004] In existing technology, CN212185899U discloses a folding mosquito net, including multiple triangular connectors for connecting and installing support crossbars and support diagonal bars, straps for tightening and loosening, and plastic connectors for connecting and installing a first "U"-shaped frame, a second "U"-shaped frame, and a third "U"-shaped frame. The design of the pivot in the plastic connector allows the first, second, and third "U"-shaped frames to be movable. However, this design is not aesthetically pleasing, has numerous frames leading to high costs, and is only suitable for traditional canopy-type tent fabrics, failing to meet the needs of modern users, especially students. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a tent pole support that is aesthetically pleasing and allows for convenient and quick storage and installation. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A swivel connector for a tent pole support includes: a vertical pole connecting sleeve for connecting to a vertical pole of the tent pole support; and a plug having a plug portion for connecting to a horizontal pole of the tent pole support, an ear for pivotally connecting to the vertical pole connecting sleeve, and a stop portion for stopping in the use position. The plug and the vertical pole connecting sleeve are pivotally connected by the ear and a pin passing through the ear and engaging with the vertical pole connecting sleeve, allowing the plug to rotate about a pivot axis relative to the vertical pole connecting sleeve between a use position and a storage position. When the plug is in the use position, the stop portion abuts against the vertical pole connecting sleeve to limit further rotation of the plug in the use position direction.

[0007] Furthermore, when in the storage position, the vertical rod connecting sleeve restricts the rotational freedom of the connector, limiting the connector from continuing to rotate in the opposite direction to the use position.

[0008] Furthermore, a limiting rib is provided on the inner wall of the connector to restrict the connector from rotating in the opposite direction to the use position when it is in the use position.

[0009] A tent pole assembly that is easy to store includes the aforementioned steering connector and vertical pole, wherein the cross-sectional shape of the inner wall of the vertical pole connecting sleeve is adapted to the connected vertical pole.

[0010] Furthermore, the vertical rod includes an inner rod and an outer rod that are sleeved together.

[0011] Furthermore, both the inner and outer rods have hexagonal cross-sections.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner rod and the outer rod are connected by an adjusting sleeve, which is located at the end of the outer rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the vertical rod also includes an extension rod for increasing the height of the vertical rod, the extension rod being connected to the inner rod or the outer rod via a connecting sleeve.

[0014] Furthermore, the tent pole assembly also includes a horizontally positioned pressure foot, which is connected to the vertical pole.

[0015] A tent pole support includes at least two sets of the aforementioned tent pole assemblies and crossbars, the ends of which are connected to the insertion portion.

[0016] Furthermore, the crossbar includes a double-sided continuous track formed by splicing a first crossbar and an I-shaped insert connecting adjacent first crossbars.

[0017] Furthermore, the crossbar is spliced ​​together by multiple sections of second crossbars, and adjacent second crossbars are connected by double-ended sleeves. The double-ended sleeves are provided with a hanging part on the outside, which is used to hang the tent fabric.

[0018] Furthermore, the tent pole support also includes a first rear pole, which is connected to the steering connector.

[0019] Furthermore, the first rear rod is connected to the first slot provided on the connector.

[0020] Furthermore, it also includes a second rear rod, which is connected to the adjusting sleeve.

[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. This utility model is convenient to store and easy to reinstall: Through the design of the steering connector, the plug and / or the crossbar connecting the plug can pivot between the use position and the storage position, and the connection or limiting structure is set in multiple adjacent structures to facilitate the overall folding and realize the quick storage and installation of the tent pole bracket.

[0023] 2. The present invention has a stable structure and strong load-bearing capacity: When the steering connector is in the use position, the stop part abuts against the vertical rod connecting sleeve, which can limit the excessive rotation of the plug and ensure the stability of the connection angle between the horizontal rod and the vertical rod. The pressure foot, as well as the first rear rod and the second rear rod, form a multi-directional support structure, which greatly improves the stability and load-bearing capacity of the tent pole support.

[0024] 3. This utility model is easy to assemble and highly adaptable: each component adopts a plug-in or socket connection method, which can be assembled and disassembled without complicated tools, reducing the operation threshold; the crossbar provides two structural forms, the first type with double-sided rails and the second type with double-headed sleeve suspension part, both of which can be adapted to different types of tent hanging needs.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific preferred embodiments.

[0039] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "left side," "right side," "upper part," "lower part," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. "First," "second," etc., do not indicate the importance of the components, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. The specific dimensions used in this embodiment are only for illustrating the technical solution and do not limit the protection scope of this utility model.

[0040] This utility model discloses a steering connector 1 for connecting the vertical rod 2 and the horizontal rod 4 of the tent pole support 7, such as... Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes a connector 12 for connecting the horizontal bar 4 and a vertical bar connecting sleeve 11 for connecting the vertical bar 2. The vertical bar connecting sleeve 11 can be switched between a use position and a storage position by pivoting with the connector 12.

[0041] For ease of description, the following directional pronouns are based on the usage state of tent pole support 7, such as... Figure 7 Or as shown in 10.

[0042] The connector 12 includes a plug portion 121 for connecting to the crossbar 4, an ear seat 122 for pivotally connecting to the vertical rod connecting sleeve 11, and a stop portion 123 for stopping when in the use position. The stop portion 123, in addition to limiting the rotational freedom of the connector 12 in the use position direction, also connects the ear seat 122 and the plug portion 121. The ear seats 122 are symmetrically arranged, and the vertical rod connecting sleeve 11 is located between the two symmetrical sets of ear seats 122. Its end away from the connecting vertical rod is pivotally connected by a pin 125, allowing the connector 12 to rotate about the pivot axis. The pin 125 can be replaced with any structure that allows the vertical rod connecting sleeve 11 to be pivotally connected to the ear seat 122.

[0043] When the connector 12 is in the use position, such as Figure 1 As shown, the stop portion 123 abuts against the vertical rod connecting sleeve 11 to restrict the insertion connector 12 from the direction of use ( Figure 1 or Figure 3 Continue rotating (in the direction of the arrow). To make the vertical rod 2 more stable in use, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the inner wall of the connector 12 is also provided with a limiting rib 126 to restrict the connector 12 from the direction opposite to the use position relative to the vertical rod connecting sleeve 11 when it is in the use position. Figure 1 or Figure 3 (Rotation in the opposite direction of the arrow) to prevent it from shaking randomly. Those skilled in the art can set the limiting ribs 126 at any location on the connector 12 that can achieve the above purpose. In this embodiment, the limiting ribs 126 are symmetrically arranged on the stop part 123.

[0044] When the connector 12 leaves the use position, rotating it around the pivot axis in the opposite direction to the use position to any angle will result in it being in the storage position. However, when the connector 12 rotates around the pivot axis in the opposite direction to the use position until it abuts against the vertical rod connecting sleeve 11, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the connector 12 no longer rotates, which is the optimal storage position in this embodiment. Figure 3 For connector 12 from Figure 1 The image shows the device flipped in the opposite direction of its intended use position (i.e., the opposite direction of the arrow in the diagram). In actual use, after the connector 12 is connected to the crossbar 4, it may cause the crossbar 4 to rotate until its outer wall abuts against the vertical bar connecting sleeve 11. This is also the optimal storage position. To return it to its intended use position, simply rotate the connector 12 in the direction of use until the stop part 123 abuts against the vertical bar connecting sleeve 11.

[0045] In addition, to make the tent pole support 7 more stable, the connector 12 is also provided with a first slot 124 for connecting the first rear pole 5. Those skilled in the art can provide one or more first slots 124 at any location on the connector 12 that can achieve the above purpose. In this embodiment, the first slots 124 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the stop portion 123.

[0046] This utility model also discloses a tent pole assembly that is easy to store, including the aforementioned steering connector 1 and vertical pole 2, the vertical pole 2 being height-adjustable. Figure 4 As shown, the vertical pole 2 includes an inner pole 21 and an outer pole 23 that are slidably connected. Unlike conventional designs currently on the market, this utility model uses a pole with a hexagonal cross-section, which not only looks more elegant and aesthetically pleasing but also increases the stability of the tent pole assembly due to its multiple angles, making it easier to fix. The inner pole 21 and the outer pole 23 are connected by an adjusting sleeve 22, which is used to adjust the height of the vertical pole 2. Correspondingly, the inner wall cross-section of the adjusting sleeve 22 is also hexagonal, adapting to the inner pole 21 and the outer pole 23. In this embodiment, the inner wall cross-section of the vertical pole connecting sleeve 11 is also hexagonal, adapting to the vertical pole 2 it connects to.

[0047] The adjusting sleeve 22 is connected to the end of the outer rod 23 and locks itself after the inner rod 21 extends and / or retracts to the desired height. In this embodiment, the adjusting sleeve 22 adopts a snap-fit ​​structure and is provided with a locking part 222, including a locking protrusion and a reset button. The inner rod 21 has multiple locking holes (not shown in the figure). When the locking protrusion engages with the locking hole, the adjusting sleeve 22 locks, and the height of the vertical rod 2 is fixed. To adjust the height, the reset button can be pressed to lift the locking protrusion from the locking hole, thereby adjusting the length of the inner rod 21 extending or retracting. In other possible embodiments, the adjusting sleeve 22 can also use other structures that can achieve height adjustment and locking, such as a clamp structure or a threaded structure.

[0048] Preferably, matching limiting steps can be provided at the ends of the outer rod 23 and the inner rod 21, or a connecting structure such as a thin wire or a spring can be provided between the two to make them less likely to be separated and to facilitate storage and installation.

[0049] Similarly, to make the tent pole support 7 more stable, the adjusting sleeve 22 is also provided with a second slot 221 for connecting the second rear pole 6. One or more second slots 221 can be provided. In this embodiment, two second slots 221 are symmetrically provided on one adjusting sleeve 22.

[0050] exist Figure 1-12 In the illustrated embodiment, both the first slot 124 and the second slot 221 are connected to the two rear rods respectively via the rear rod connector 51. Figure 12 As shown, the rear rod connector 51 includes a snap-fit ​​portion 512 adapted to the first slot 124 and the second slot 221, and the end of the snap-fit ​​portion 512 is also provided with a limiting step for fixing; and a rear rod sleeve 511 for sleeved onto the first rear rod 5 and the second rear rod 6. In this embodiment, one end of the rear rod sleeve 511 is open for sleeved onto the rear rod, and the other end is closed, making the support more stable.

[0051] Meanwhile, in practical use, the height of two vertical rods may not be sufficient to meet consumer needs. Therefore, in other possible embodiments, each end of an outer rod 23 may be fitted with an adjusting sleeve 22, so that both ends can be fitted with inner rods 21 and the height can be adjusted to achieve splicing of multiple vertical rods.

[0052] In another possible embodiment, the vertical rod 2 also includes an extension rod. Unlike the embodiments described above, the extension rod is not hexagonal and cannot be fixed using the adjusting sleeve 22. Therefore, this embodiment provides a connecting sleeve 24, such as... Figure 5 As shown, one end is a hexagon that adapts to the inner rod 21 or the outer rod 23, and the other end adapts to the extension rod, which is generally cylindrical. Preferably, the cylindrical end can also be threaded on its inner wall, and a corresponding thread can be provided at the end of the extension rod to make the connection more secure.

[0053] To increase stability and load-bearing capacity, the tent pole assembly is also equipped with pressure feet 33 that connect to the vertical pole 2. Pressure feet 33 can be directly connected to the vertical pole 2, or... Figure 6 As shown, the presser foot connector 32 connects to the vertical rod 2. The presser foot connector 32 consists of two generally perpendicular connecting sleeves, one end of which is used to insert into the vertical rod 2, and the other end is used to fit the presser foot 33. In this case, the presser foot 33 is preferably an oval tube with flat upper and lower end faces, which facilitates pressing into the bed sheet or bed leg to play a stabilizing role.

[0054] Preferably, a spring 31 is also provided between the vertical rod 2 and the pressure foot 33. The two ends of the spring 31 are engaged with the inner walls of the two rods, making the two rods less likely to separate, facilitating storage and simplifying installation. Of course, the spring 31 can also be replaced with other connecting structures with this function, such as thin wire.

[0055] This utility model also discloses a tent pole support 7, which includes at least two sets of the above-mentioned tent pole components and at least one set of crossbars 4.

[0056] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7-8 The crossbar 4 includes a first crossbar 41a with a generally hollow "I"-shaped cross-section and an "I"-shaped insert 42a. Adjacent first crossbars 41a are connected by the "I"-shaped insert 42a. Tracks on both sides of the first crossbar 41a are used to fit hooks for hanging the tent fabric. To prevent the hooks from falling off, such as... Figure 9 A baffle plate 411a is symmetrically provided on the outer side of the first crossbar 41a. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the insertion part 121 is also I-shaped and adapted to the track rod 41a, and can be inserted into the hollow first crossbar 41a, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown.

[0057] Figure 7-9In the illustrated embodiment, the crossbar 4 includes two continuous tracks on both sides, with hooks installed along them. This allows for the simultaneous hanging of two mosquito nets, satisfying the consumer's need for both light blocking and privacy protection while using the mosquito net. If the consumer has further requirements for smoother or quieter operation, leather strips can be inserted into the tracks, and hooks can be used on the leather strips, as described in the embodiment of Chinese Patent CN223438220U, which will not be repeated here.

[0058] In another embodiment, such as Figure 10-11 The system includes at least two steering connectors 1 as disclosed in this utility model, at least two sets of conventional cylindrical vertical bars, pressure feet adapted to the vertical bars for stabilizing the support, and at least one set of horizontal bars 4. The horizontal bars 4 include multiple hollow square second horizontal bars 41b and double-ended sleeves 42b for splicing the second horizontal bars 41b. The double-ended sleeves 42b have a hanging portion 421b on their exterior, which is used to hang the tent fabric. In this embodiment, the insertion portion 121 on the steering connector 1 is a square sleeve, adapted to the second horizontal bar 41b of this embodiment.

[0059] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various equivalent transformations can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and all such equivalent transformations fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
