Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tent technology, and in particular relates to a cloud tent with windproof function. Background Technology
[0002] With the rise of outdoor camping, mountain exploration and other leisure activities, tents, as core equipment, directly determine the safety and comfort of the camping experience through their windproof performance. Especially in open or complex terrain scenarios such as high altitude, mountains, and grasslands, where gusts and turbulence often cause uneven stress on the tent, problems such as the waterproof fabric fluttering, the tent frame deforming or even overturning can easily occur. Therefore, windproof design has become one of the core directions of tent technology research and development. The top of the tent is the main area directly affected by wind. Current technology mostly relies on the frame support and the strength of the fabric to passively resist wind. When encountering gusts or turbulence, the waterproof fabric at the top is prone to large "bulging and contracting" movements under the action of wind. Repeated pulling causes wear and tear on the connection between the fabric and the frame, affecting the comfort of living, and may even cause the frame to be overloaded and deformed. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model addresses the problem that in existing technologies, the top of a tent is the main area directly affected by wind. Existing technologies often rely on the frame support and fabric strength to passively resist wind. When encountering gusts or turbulence, the waterproof fabric at the top is prone to significant "bulging and contracting" under wind force, leading to repeated pulling and wear at the connection between the fabric and the frame, affecting comfort, and even causing the frame to overload and deform. The following technical solution is proposed: A windproof cloud tent includes: a frame, which serves as the support structure of the tent and has three spires; a connecting post is installed at the top of the frame, and the number of connecting posts is set to three; an installation plate is movably installed at the bottom of the connecting post; the installation plate and the connecting post are connected by a telescopic structure, which is used to change the distance between the opposite surfaces of the installation plate and the connecting post; a protective net is connected to the outside of the frame; and a waterproof cloth is connected between the outside of the installation plate and the outside of the frame.
[0004] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the outer side of the frame is threaded with hooks, the protective net and the frame are connected by hooks, and two discs are symmetrically snapped onto the outer side of the connecting column, with the middle of the protective net located between the two discs.
[0005] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a door frame is fixedly installed on the front of the frame, a protective door is hinged inside the door frame, frames are symmetrically installed on both sides of the frame, windows are hinged inside the frames, a crossbeam is fixedly installed in the middle of the frame, and the edge of the waterproof cloth is installed on the crossbeam.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the telescopic structure includes a mounting column, which is fixed to the bottom end of the connecting column. A threaded column is slidably connected inside the mounting column, and a snap-fit column is fixed to the bottom end of the threaded column. The snap-fit column is connected to the mounting plate, and a return spring is sleeved on the outside of the threaded column. The two ends of the return spring abut against the inner wall of the mounting column and the guide plate, respectively.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the guide plate is slidably connected inside the mounting column, and a wave-shaped metal sheet is connected through the inside of the guide plate.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the two ends of the corrugated metal sheet are fixed to the inner wall of the mounting column and the mounting plate, respectively. When the guide plate moves, the corrugated metal sheet is configured to deform from a corrugated shape to a straight shape to generate a damping force.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: (1) The concentrated wind force that was originally acting vertically on the waterproof cloth is absorbed and dissipated through its deformation, which is equivalent to providing a dynamic "buffer channel" for the wind force at the top. This effectively avoids the single-point concentration of wind force at the top of the tent, significantly reduces the local stress load on the frame and the repeated violent pulling of the waterproof cloth, and reduces the risk of fabric wear and frame overload deformation from the source.

[0012] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0013] Example 1 This utility model provides a cloud tent with windproof function, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes: frame 1, which serves as the supporting structure of the tent; frame 1 (the structure of frame 1 has three spires, as shown) Figure 2 As shown, the frame 1 is assembled from support beams and mounting components. A connecting column 2 is installed at the top. Multiple support beams of the frame 1 and the connecting columns 2 are hinged together. There are three connecting columns 2. A mounting plate 3 (composed of two discs) is vertically and movably installed at the bottom of each connecting column 2. The mounting plate 3 and the connecting column 2 are connected by a telescopic structure 4, which is used to change the distance between the opposite surfaces of the mounting plate 3 and the connecting column 2. Hooks 9 are threaded onto the outer side of the support beams of the frame 1. The protective net 5 is connected to the support beams of the frame 1 by the hooks 9. Connecting column 2, two discs are symmetrically snapped on the outside. The protective net 5 is located between the two discs. The protective net 5 is connected to the outside of the support beam of frame 1. Several crossbeams 10 are fixedly installed between the multiple support beams of frame 1. Waterproof cloth 6 is connected between the outside of mounting plate 3 and frame 1. Waterproof cloth 6 is sleeved between the two discs. The edge of waterproof cloth 6 is fixedly installed on the crossbeam 10. Door frame 7 is fixedly installed on the front of frame 1. A protective door is hinged inside door frame 7. Frames 8 are symmetrically installed on both sides of frame 1. Windows are hinged inside frames 8.
[0014] In the existing technology, since the top of the tent is the main area directly affected by the wind, the existing technology mostly relies on the support of the frame 1 and the strength of the fabric to passively resist the wind. When encountering gusts or turbulence, the waterproof fabric 6 at the top is prone to large "bulging and contracting" movements under the action of the wind. Repeated pulling causes wear and tear on the connection between the fabric and the frame 1, affecting the comfort of living, and may even cause the frame 1 to be overloaded and deformed. In this application, the telescopic structure 4 can use its own telescopic characteristics to drive the mounting plate 3 and the waterproof cloth 6 connected to it to shift downwards. This shifting process is equivalent to providing a "buffer channel" for the wind force at the top. The concentrated wind force that was originally acting vertically on the waterproof cloth 6 is absorbed and dissipated through its deformation, which is equivalent to providing a dynamic "buffer channel" for the wind force at the top. This effectively avoids the single-point concentration of wind force at the top of the tent, significantly reduces the local stress load on the frame 1 and the repeated violent pulling of the waterproof cloth 6, and reduces the risk of fabric wear and overload deformation of the frame 1 from the source.
[0015] In use, multiple support beams are assembled to form a frame 1. Connecting columns 2 are connected to the multiple support beams of the frame 1. Then, the mounting plate 3 is connected through the telescopic structure 4. Next, the waterproof fabric 6 is connected along the mounting plate 3 and the crossbeam 10. Then, the protective net 5 is connected along the connecting column 2 and the hook 9. Then, the door frame 7 and the frame 8 are connected to the frame 1. Due to the wind blowing, the waterproof fabric 6 is under pressure. When the waterproof fabric 6 is under pressure, the telescopic structure 4 is stretched through the mounting plate 3. When the top of the tent is hit by strong wind, the wind pressure causes the waterproof fabric 6 to dent downwards. Then, the mounting plate 3 applies a downward pulling force to the telescopic structure 4, causing it to stretch and deform. This process converts part of the vertical wind load into the axial force that drives the telescopic structure 4 to move. Through its deformation, it absorbs and dissipates wind energy, which is equivalent to providing a dynamic "buffer channel" for the wind force at the top. This effectively avoids the single-point concentration of wind force at the top of the tent, significantly reduces the local stress load of the frame 1 and the repeated violent stretching of the waterproof fabric 6, and reduces the risk of fabric wear and overload deformation of the frame 1 from the source.
[0016] To achieve the cushioning effect of the waterproof fabric 6 in the above embodiments, the following solution is provided, such as... Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the telescopic structure 4 includes a mounting post 41, which is fixed to the bottom of the connecting post 2. A threaded post 42 is slidably connected inside the mounting post 41. A circular hole is opened in the middle of the mounting post 41, and the threaded post 42 passes through the circular hole. A snap-fit post 43 is fixed to the bottom of the threaded post 42, and the snap-fit post 43 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 3. A return spring 46 is sleeved on the outside of the threaded post 42. The two ends of the return spring 46 abut against the inner wall of the mounting post 41 and the guide plate 44, respectively, and are fixed thereto. The guide plate 44 is slidably connected inside the mounting post 41. A groove corresponding to the movement of the guide plate 44 is opened inside the mounting post 41, and a wave-shaped groove is connected through the guide plate 44. The guide plate 44 has a rectangular hole, and the corrugated metal sheet 47 is located inside the rectangular hole. The two ends of the corrugated metal sheet 47 are fixed to the inner wall of the mounting post 41 and the mounting plate 45, respectively. When the guide plate 44 moves, the corrugated metal sheet 47 is configured to deform from a corrugated shape to a straight shape to generate damping force. The threaded post 42 and the guide plate 44 are connected by threads to adjust the height of the threaded post 42. The bottom end of the guide plate 44 is located between the outer surface of the threaded post 42 and the inner wall of the mounting post 41 and is welded with a ring 48. The ring 48 is used to block the corrugated metal sheet 47 and prevent the corrugated metal sheet 47 from entering the outside of the return spring 46.
[0017] When in use, when the top of the tent is subjected to wind, the waterproof cloth 6 pulls the telescopic structure 4 downward through the mounting plate 3, causing the guide plate 44 to move downward. Since the corrugated metal sheet 47 is corrugated and fixed at both ends (one end is connected to the mounting post 41 and the other end is connected to the mounting plate 45), when the guide plate 44 moves downward, it will press the corrugated metal sheet 47, causing it to gradually straighten from a bent state (i.e., "from an arc to a vertical state"). This process requires overcoming the bending stiffness and internal stress of the corrugated metal sheet 47, consuming wind energy, thereby generating damping force and reducing the descent speed of the guide plate 44. When the wind weakens, the return spring 46 pushes the guide plate 44 to return to its original position. At this time, the wavy metal sheet 47 attempts to restore its original curvature, which will also generate resistance, slowing down the return speed and preventing it from bouncing back quickly.
[0018] Working principle: Multiple support beams and installation parts are assembled together to form a frame 1 with three tower-shaped peaks. At the top of each tower of the frame 1, a connecting column 2 is installed by hinge. The installation column 41 at the top of the telescopic structure 4 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting column 2. Then, the snap-fit column 43 at the bottom of the telescopic structure 4 is fixedly connected to the installation plate 3 (composed of two discs). The top center of the waterproof cloth 6 is fitted between the two discs of the installation plate 3 and clamped. The edge of the waterproof cloth 6 is firmly fixed to the crossbeam 10 on the periphery of the frame 1. Next, the middle part of the protective net 5 is clamped between the two discs on the outside of the connecting column 2, and the periphery of the protective net 5 is fixed by the hooks 9 on the support beam of the frame 1. Finally, the door frame 7 with the protective door is fixed to the front of the frame 1, and the frame 8 with the window is symmetrically installed on both sides of the frame 1. When strong winds hit the top of the tent, the entire system works in concert as follows: the wind pressure causes the waterproof fabric 6 at the top to sag downwards. Since the center of the waterproof fabric 6 is fixed to the mounting plate 3, this action is converted into a downward pulling force on the mounting plate 3. This downward pulling force is transmitted to the threaded post 42 through the snap-fit post 43, and further drives the guide plate 44, which is threadedly connected to the threaded post 42, to overcome the elastic force of the return spring 46 and slide downwards along the groove inside the mounting post 41. The return spring 46 is compressed, absorbing and storing a portion of the wind energy. At the same time, the rectangular guide plate 44 is fixed to the guide plate 44. The wavy metal sheet 47 in the hole is compressed during the downward movement of the guide plate 44. Its wavy curved part is forced to straighten. This process requires overcoming the stiffness of the metal material itself and the internal intermolecular friction force, converting a large amount of wind energy into heat energy and dissipating it, thereby generating significant damping force. The above generates strong resistance, which greatly slows down the downward movement of the tent top, transforming the violent impact into a slow and controllable buffer stroke. Finally, the concentrated impact force is effectively dispersed to the connecting column 2 and the entire frame 1, avoiding local stress overload. When the wind weakens or pauses, the compressed return spring 46 releases its stored elastic potential energy, pushing the guide plate 44 to slide upward along the groove. As the guide plate 44 moves upward, the wave-shaped metal sheet 47 attempts to restore its original wave shape. This process also generates resistance, which counteracts the thrust of the return spring 46. This ensures that the top of the tent can return to its original position smoothly and slowly, effectively preventing secondary impacts and shaking caused by rapid rebound, and improving comfort and safety. The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
