AI Technical Summary
Existing heat-shielding tents require significant time and effort for installation, are heavy, and often need multiple people to set up due to their complex structure, despite providing effective heat-shielding.
A heat-shielding structure for tents that divides a conventional heat-shielding sheet into sections for the roof and side walls, pre-forming the roof section into a bag-like shape for direct attachment to the frame, ensuring a thickness of 0.3mm to 1.0mm for strength, and allowing easy installation and removal.
The structure provides effective heat-shielding, is inexpensive, and can be easily installed and dismantled, offering a comfortable rest space without the risk of heatstroke.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a heat-shielding structure for tents, enabling temporary tents at construction sites and other locations to be fully air-conditioned and efficiently cooled in the summer. [Background technology] [Background technology]
[0002] A heat-shielding structure for tents that can contribute to heatstroke prevention by attaching a heat-shielding sheet to the ground surface of event tents and the like used outdoors has been proposed in Utility Model Registration No. 3217537 (Patent Document 1). This method is a tent heat-shielding structure in which a heat-shielding sheet made of a material with high reflectivity against radiant heat, such as aluminum foil, is attached to the ground surface of an event tent, sunshade, or the like made from a resin sheet, and grommets are attached around the perimeter of the heat-shielding sheet, which is then attached with string to the frame of the event tent, sunshade, or the like.
[0003] It consists of an upper outer surface made of flexible fabric and epoxy resin, and a lower back surface made of brushed fiber on the back of the main body that comes into contact with the tent exterior. Although the above-mentioned tents are effective as heat-shielding tents, there are issues that need to be resolved, such as the time and effort required for installation, the weight, and the need for multiple people to install them. This structure is due to the fact that the tent sheet is a light-transmitting tent sheet, which has an aluminum vapor-deposited layer on the exterior side of the tent base fabric, such as a polyester sheet, and a protective layer made of polyethylene on the outside of that.
[0004] The most effective known heat shield sheet is a seven-layer structure in which a metal coating layer made of aluminum with an infrared emissivity of 0.1 to 0.5 is laminated onto a tent base fabric made of polyethylene fiber material. According to an internet homepage, this heat shield material has a seven-layer structure of aluminum foil, polyethylene, bubble polyethylene, polyethylene, bubble polyethylene, polyethylene, and aluminum foil (product name: THB-X, manufactured by Japan Heat Shield Co., Ltd.).
[0005] Further, there is a known tent in which an aluminum metal layer is provided on the outdoor side of a base fabric made of knit fabric, and a urethane resin-based protective layer is further provided on the outdoor side.
[0006] A tent sheet has been proposed in which, from the outdoor side, a synthetic resin film, a base fabric, a metal film such as aluminum, and a synthetic resin painted screen are integrally formed.
[0007] The present invention is a structure that uses a heat-shielding sheet that solves all of the problems that have been solved by the previously known methods, and provides a heat-shielding tent structure that is inexpensive and easy to use.
[0008] [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0009] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3217537 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0010] The present invention is a heat insulating structure for tents devised in view of the above, in which a known heat insulating sheet is attached and fixed to the ceiling and side walls of a tent frame.
[0011] The heat shield sheet is made of aluminum and polyethylene, has an infrared emissivity in the range of 0.1 to 0.5, and is a heat shield sheet on which a metal coating layer made of aluminum is laminated.
[0012] The objective of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive heat-shielding tent structure that utilizes the above-mentioned facts and is easy to set up and dismantle, and is expected to have a heat-shielding effect.
[0013] [Means for solving the problem]
[0014] The heat-shielding structure of the tent of this invention uses a conventional heat-shielding sheet, which is divided into sections for the roof and side walls of the tent to fit the frame shape. Since it is attached directly to the frame, the roof section should be pre-formed into a bag-like shape for efficient installation.
[0015] When implementing the above, it is important to ensure the strength of the heat-shielding sheet, as it will be attached directly to the tent frame. It is therefore important that the thickness of the fabric be determined taking strength into consideration, with 0.3mm to 1.0mm being preferable. [Effects of the Invention]
[0016] The heat-shielding structure of the tent of this invention effectively utilizes the heat-shielding effect, is inexpensive, and is easy to install and remove. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0017] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the heat-shielding structure of the tent of the present invention, with side heat shielding omitted. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0018] To explain an embodiment of the present invention, the heat-shielding structure of the tent of the present invention is shown as an example in Figure 1, which is attached only to the roof part. Similarly, although not shown, the door part is attached with a separate heat-shielding structure, and it can be used by attaching an electric air conditioner inside and an outdoor unit outside. Attachment to the tent frame is optional, but attachment with strings is simple and quick.
[0019] In the above embodiment, where the roof and side wall joints are formed, an overlap of 2cm to 5cm may be provided as necessary to prevent heat from outside from entering and cold air from air conditioning from escaping.
[0020] Furthermore, compared to conventional designs that only considered heat insulation, it can be installed in a short time while still maintaining heat insulation effects, and it is expected that it will be able to be used comfortably at construction sites and event venues. It can also be easily removed once construction or an event is over. [Industrial Applicability]
[0021] This invention has great industrial value because it can be installed and dismantled easily and inexpensively, and it can provide a comfortable rest space without the worry of heatstroke. [Explanation of symbols]

Claims
[Claim 1] The heat-shielding structure of the tent is constructed by directly attaching a heat-shielding sheet made of aluminum foil and polyethylene, which is divided to match the shape of the tent's framework, to the roof of the ceiling and the side walls.
