Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tent technology, specifically to a connection mechanism between tent fabric and tent frame. Background Technology

[0002] As a core piece of equipment for outdoor camping, emergency rescue, and event support, the stability of the connection between the tent fabric and the frame directly determines the safety and user experience. Currently, the mainstream connection methods in the industry are mainly two types: rope binding and simple fabric covers. Although these methods are low-cost, they have revealed many unavoidable technical defects in practical applications and cannot adapt to the needs of complex outdoor environments.

[0003] The rope binding method relies on manual knot tying for fixation, which is cumbersome and lacks standardization. Different users have different knotting techniques and binding strengths, which can easily lead to uneven stress on various connection points of the tent. This not only wastes a lot of time and labor costs but also poses structural risks. If the rope is tied too loosely, the tent is easily affected by external forces such as wind disturbance and ground vibration, causing it to loosen and shift. If the rope is tied too tightly, it may cause the tent structure to be overloaded, which can lead to fabric tearing, accelerated fiber aging, and shorten the overall lifespan of the tent over long-term use.

[0004] The simple fabric sleeve connection structure achieves connection by directly wrapping the support tubes with fabric sleeves. While relatively convenient to assemble and disassemble, it lacks effective rigid restraint and fixation design. Under the influence of wind or vibrations from personnel activity, the fabric sleeve is prone to sliding along the axial direction of the support tubes, causing wrinkles and deformation of the tent fabric, severely affecting the tent's shape and aesthetics. More importantly, fabric sleeve displacement disrupts the tent's original stress balance system, causing the support points of the supports to deviate from their designed positions, reducing the overall structural load-bearing strength and stability. In severe weather conditions such as heavy rain and strong winds, cumulative displacement may lead to stress imbalance and bending of the support structure, or even the entire tent collapse, posing a threat to the personal safety of users.

[0005] In summary, existing methods for connecting tent fabric and tent frames suffer from shortcomings such as poor stability, cumbersome assembly and disassembly, low adaptability, and significant safety hazards. There is an urgent need to develop a connection mechanism that is structurally sound, securely connected, easy to assemble and disassemble, and adaptable to diverse outdoor scenarios to address these industry pain points. Therefore, a connection mechanism for tent fabric and tent frames is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a connection mechanism between tent fabric and tent frame to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a connection mechanism between a tent fabric and a tent frame, comprising a tent fabric body, a fabric cover installed on the tent fabric body, a support tube provided inside the fabric cover, a support frame installed on the outside of the support tube, a second through hole symmetrically opened on the support frame, and a fourth through hole symmetrically opened on the fabric cover, the fourth through hole corresponding to the position of the second through hole;

[0008] One side of the fabric cover is provided with a connecting plate, and two connecting posts are symmetrically installed on the connecting plate. The two connecting posts pass through the interior of the second through hole and the fourth through hole respectively and are located on the other side of the fabric cover. The other side of the fabric cover is provided with a fixing shell for snapping the connecting posts.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing shell includes a bottom shell, a cover plate is installed on the bottom shell, and a third through hole is provided on both the bottom shell and the cover plate to facilitate the passage of the connecting column.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided at the end of the connecting column, and a snap-fit ​​plate for engaging the limiting groove is slidably connected inside the bottom shell, with one side of the snap-fit ​​plate extending to the outside of the bottom shell.

[0011] Preferably, a tension spring is installed between the snap-fit ​​plate and the inner sidewall of the bottom shell.

[0012] Preferably, two sliding grooves are symmetrically formed on the snap-fit ​​plate, and two limiting posts are symmetrically installed on the inner side of the bottom shell, with the two limiting posts located inside the two sliding grooves respectively.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the connection stability is significantly improved. After the connecting column passes through the aligned through hole, it is fixed by the snap-fit ​​plate and the limiting groove. With the help of the tension spring reset and the limiting column guide, rigid limiting is achieved, which prevents the cloth cover from sliding along the support tube, prevents the tent from wrinkling and deforming, and improves the structural load-bearing strength and safety of use under severe weather conditions.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a connection mechanism between a tent fabric and a tent frame, including a tent fabric body 2, a fabric cover 3 for wrapping the support structure is fixedly installed on the surface of the tent fabric body 2, a support tube 1 for building a tent frame is movably fitted inside the fabric cover 3, a support frame 7 is installed on the outer side of the support tube 1, two second through holes 9 are symmetrically opened on the support frame 7 for penetrating the connecting components, and two fourth through holes 31 are symmetrically opened on the fabric cover 3 corresponding to the positions of the second through holes 9.

[0022] One side of the fabric cover 3 is provided with a connecting plate 6 for integrating connecting components. Two cylindrical connecting posts 5 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the side of the connecting plate 6 facing the fabric cover 3. The ends of the two connecting posts 5 away from the connecting plate 6 pass through the interior of the second through hole 9 and the fourth through hole 31 respectively, and extend to the other side of the fabric cover 3 away from the connecting plate 6. The other side of the fabric cover 3 away from the connecting plate 6 is provided with a fixing shell 4 for fixing the ends of the connecting posts 5. The fixing shell 4 is engaged with the connecting posts 5 to achieve the fixed positioning of the tent fabric and the bracket.

[0023] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown: The fixed shell 4 includes a bottom shell 41 for supporting the internal structure. The bottom shell 41 is located on one side of the cloth sleeve 3. A cover plate 42 for sealing the internal structure is installed at the opening of the bottom shell 41. A third through hole 43 is provided on the bottom shell 41 and the cover plate 42 at the position corresponding to the connecting post 5, so that the connecting post 5 can pass through. The diameter of the third through hole 43 is adapted to the outer diameter of the connecting post 5.

[0024] like Figure 5 As shown: The outer side wall of the end of the connecting column 5 extending into the interior of the fixed shell 4 is provided with a limiting groove 51 for limiting and engaging. The interior of the bottom shell 41 is slidably connected with a snap-fit ​​plate 44 for engaging into the limiting groove 51. One side of the snap-fit ​​plate 44 penetrates the side wall of the bottom shell 41 and extends to the outside of the bottom shell 41, which facilitates the manual operation of the sliding of the snap-fit ​​plate 44.

[0025] like Figure 5As shown: A tension spring 45 for providing a reset force is fixedly installed between one side of the snap-fit ​​plate 44 and the inner side wall of the bottom shell 41. When the tension spring 45 is in its natural state, the end of the snap-fit ​​plate 44 near the connecting post 5 is precisely inserted into the limiting groove 51.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown: Two elongated grooves 46 are symmetrically opened on the snap-fit ​​plate 44. Two cylindrical limiting posts 47 are symmetrically fixed inside the bottom shell 41 at the positions corresponding to the grooves 46. The two limiting posts 47 are slidably snapped into the inside of the two grooves 46 to limit the sliding direction of the snap-fit ​​plate 44 and prevent it from detaching from the bottom shell 41.

[0027] Working principle: Insert the support tube 1 into the fabric sleeve 3 on the tent fabric body 2, so that the support frame 7 on the outside of the support tube 1 fits snugly against the fabric sleeve 3, ensuring that the second through hole 9 on the support frame 7 is precisely aligned with the fourth through hole 31 on the fabric sleeve 3. Align the two connecting posts 5 on the connecting plate 6 with the second through hole 9 and the fourth through hole 31 respectively, and pass them through to the other side of the fabric sleeve 3.

[0028] Then, the operator manually presses the portion of the snap-fit ​​plate 44 extending to the outer side of the base shell 41, causing the snap-fit ​​plate 44 to move, thus changing the state from covering part of the third through hole 43 to not obstructing the third through hole 43. Next, the connecting post 5 is passed through the third through hole 43 on the base shell 41 and cover plate 42 of the fixed shell 4, so that the end of the connecting post 5 penetrates the interior of the fixed shell 4, and the limiting groove 51 is located inside the fixed shell 4.

[0029] Then, the pressed snap-fit ​​plate 44 is released. Under the natural elastic force of the tension spring 45, the snap-fit ​​plate 44 slides along the limiting post 47 on the inner side of the bottom shell 41 towards the connecting post 5, and fits precisely into the limiting groove 51 at the end of the connecting post 5, thus fixing and limiting the connecting post 5. At this time, the connecting plate 6 and the fixing shell 4 clamp from both sides of the cloth sleeve 3, and together with the supporting action of the support frame 7, firmly fix the cloth sleeve 3 to the outside of the support tube 1, effectively preventing relative sliding between the cloth sleeve 3 and the support tube 1.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
