[0002] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of tent support structures, and particularly to a stabilizing device for a tent frame.BACKGROUND

[0003] In contemporary society, with the improvement of people's living standards and the pursuit of outdoor living experiences, outdoor activities such as camping and wilderness exploration have become increasingly popular. As an indispensable temporary shelter in outdoor activities, the stability of tents directly affects users'safety and comfort. However, existing tent frames have multiple problems in terms of stability, which not only affect user experience but may also pose threats to users'safety under extreme weather conditions.

[0004] From the perspective of usage scenarios, camping locations are diverse, including terrains such as mountains, seasides, and grasslands. During mountain camping, the rugged and uneven ground requires tent frames to adapt to inclined surfaces, imposing high demands on their stability. However, conventional tent frames under such terrain conditions struggle to ensure uniform force distribution across support points, frequently leading to localized overloading that causes tent tilting or even collapse. Coastal environments present greater complexity, where strong and sustained sea winds challenge the structural integrity of traditional tent frames. Sea winds induce significant oscillations in the tent canopy, thereby exerting pulling forces on the frame. Conventional frames subjected to such repeated stresses exhibit loosening at connection points, substantially degrading stability. While grassland terrains are relatively flat, frequent high-wind conditions similarly expose the inadequacy of traditional tent frames in providing reliable stabilization.

[0005] Regarding structural design of existing tent frames, most conventional implementations employ simple frame configurations primarily including vertical columns and horizontal beams. This structural approach demands substantial installation expertise, where improper installation will severely compromise tent stability. Moreover, stability maintenance predominantly relies on ground fixation through ground stakes and guy ropes. However, in practical applications, ground stakes often fail to achieve secure fixation due to substrate characteristics, such as in sandy or frozen ground where their anchoring effectiveness is substantially diminished. Even with proper ground stake installation, guy ropes are prone to material degradation and fracture under prolonged exposure to weathering. Once rope failure occurs, the structural stability of the tent frame is significantly compromised.

[0006] Furthermore, as tent dimensions increase to accommodate multi-occupancy requirements or provide expanded living spaces, the stability limitations of conventional frames become increasingly apparent. Large-scale tents must withstand greater canvas weight and wind loads, yet traditional structural configurations prove inadequate in counteracting these external forces. The supporting framework lacks proportional enhancement in load-bearing capacity and stability, resulting in elevated safety risks during deployment of large-scale tents.

[0007] Under extreme weather conditions, the limitations of conventional tent frames become particularly evident. During heavy rainfall, water accumulation on the tent canopy increases structural loading, presenting critical challenges to the frame's load-bearing capacity. Conventional frames may deform under excessive loading, further compromising tent stability. In high-wind scenarios, wind forces acting on the tent structure multiply exponentially. Traditional frames, lacking effective stabilization mechanisms, are prone to overturning.

[0008] Considering these operational challenges, existing tent frames demonstrate substantial deficiencies in stability that fail to meet growing demands for outdoor activities. Consequently, developing a novel tent frame stabilization device to enhance structural reliability and safety has become an urgent technical priority in outdoor equipment design.SUMMARY

[0009] The present disclosure aims to address the aforementioned technical deficiencies by providing a stabilizing device for a tent frame.

[0010] To achieve this objective, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solutions:

[0021] To provide clearer understanding of the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention, the following detailed description combines the drawings and embodiments for further explanation.

[0022] As shown in FIGS. 1-7, a stabilization device for a tent frame according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a tent frame body and columns 18 disposed at four corners of the tent frame body; a main beam 4 fixedly mounted at a central position of the tent frame body, with a top beam 3 inserted into the main beam 4; four sets of branch cables 9 mounted in the main beam 4, ends of the branch cables 9 being connected to the columns 18; a stabilizing member 1 disposed in the top beam 3, configured to provide tension to the branch cables 9 when the tent frame body is deployed; and a branching mechanism 2 disposed in the main beam 4, configured to drive the top beam 3 to move downward within the main beam 4 when the top beam 3 is subjected to a downward pulling force.

[0023] When the tent frame is deployed, the columns 18 in the tent frame body expand toward the corners, causing the corner columns 18 to pull the branch cables 9 outward. Concurrently, the stabilizing member 1 in the top beam 3 generates upward tension forces on the branch cables 9 while subjecting the top beam 3 to downward pulling forces, thereby driving the top beam 3 to move downward within the main beam 4. The top beam 3 positioned above the tent frame body, under combined gravitational loading from the tent canopy and tensile interactions between the stabilizing member and the four columns 18, progressively lowers the system's center of gravity. This mechanical configuration achieves enhanced structural stability through increased supporting surface area and reduced center-of-gravity height, directly improving the stability coefficient. Simultaneously, the stabilizing member 1 providing continuous tension to the branch cables 9 during frame deployment enables the entire tent frame structure to attain greater rigidity under force application, enhanced resistance to external loads, extended service life, and superior operational performance compared to conventional tent frames.

[0024] As an embodiment of the present disclosure, the stabilizing member 1 includes a connecting member 16 fixedly disposed in the top beam 3, with a tension spring 5 fixedly connected to an outer side of the connecting member 16; a press-lock clasp 6 fixedly connected to an end of the tension spring 5; a stabilizing cable assembly 7 disposed below the press-lock clasp 6, a top end of the stabilizing cable assembly 7 being located at the top beam 3, a bottom end of the stabilizing cable assembly 7 being located at the main beam 4; a loop fastener 8 fixedly connected to the top end of the stabilizing cable assembly 7, the loop fastener 8 being engaged with the press-lock clasp 6; the bottom end of the stabilizing cable assembly 7 is connected to the branch cables 9. During frame deployment where the columns 18 move outward, the columns 18 pull the branch cables 9. The branch cables 9 apply tensile forces to the tension spring 5 below the connecting member 16 through the stabilizing cable assembly 7 and press-lock clasp 6, thereby stretching the tension spring 5 to maintain continuous tension provision to the branch cables 9.

[0025] As an embodiment of the present disclosure, the stabilizing cable assembly 7 is made of high-strength fiber material for improved safety.

[0026] As an embodiment of the present disclosure, a wear-resistant protective sleeve is sleeved over an outer side of the stabilizing cable assembly 7 to enhance wear resistance and prolong service life.

[0027] As an embodiment of the present disclosure, the branching mechanism 2 includes a branching base 12 sleeved through the main beam 4, a top end of the branching base 12 being fixedly mounted in the main beam 4 via bolts 17, a spring retaining seat 13 fixedly mounted at the top end of the branching base 12, a limiting spring 11 disposed in the main beam 4, a bottom end of the limiting spring 11 being engaged with the spring retaining seat 13, and a top end of the limiting spring 11 contacting a bottom end of the top beam 3. When the stabilizing member 1 applies a downward pulling force to the top beam 3, the top beam 3 is driven to move downward within the main beam 4, causing the limiting spring 11 to be compressed. The tension spring 5 in the stabilizing member and the limiting spring 11 in the branching mechanism interact under the pulling force to withstand greater loads, and different compression degrees under loads further improve device stability.

[0028] As an embodiment of the present disclosure, the branching base 12 is provided with four cable branching grooves 14, the branch cables 9 being disposed in the cable branching grooves 14, which serve to separate the branch cables 9 and prevent entanglement among them, improving usage effectiveness.

[0029] As an embodiment of the present disclosure, a cable guide groove 15 matching the cable branching grooves 14 is further formed at a bottom end of the branching base 12, the branch cables 9 passing through the cable guide groove 15. The cable guide groove 15 guides the branch cables 9 toward the columns 18, improving usage effectiveness.

[0030] As an embodiment of the present disclosure, an inner wall of the cable guide groove 15 is provided with a lubricating layer, which effectively reduces wear between the branch cables 9 and the cable guide groove 15 during cable movement, improving usage effectiveness.

[0031] As an embodiment of the present disclosure, a hook 10 is fixedly installed at an end of each branch cable 9, a hanging ring is fixedly installed on an outer side of each column 18, and the hook 10 is engaged with the hanging ring, enabling detachable connection between the branch cables 9 and the columns 18, improving usage effectiveness.

[0032] As an embodiment of the present disclosure, an anti-release latch is disposed at an opening of the hook 10, effectively preventing disengagement of the hook 10 from the hanging ring, enhancing safety.

[0033] During deployment of the tent frame, the columns 18 in the tent frame body expand toward the corners, causing the corner columns 18 to pull the branch cables 9 outward. Concurrently, the stabilizing member 1 in the top beam 3 generates upward tension forces on the branch cables 9 while subjecting the top beam 3 to downward pulling forces, thereby driving the top beam 3 to move downward within the main beam 4. The top beam 3 positioned above the tent frame body, under combined gravitational loading from the tent canopy and tensile interactions between the stabilizing member and the four columns 18, progressively lowers the system's center of gravity. This mechanical configuration achieves enhanced structural stability through increased supporting surface area and reduced center-of-gravity height, directly improving the stability coefficient. Simultaneously, the stabilizing member 1 providing continuous tension to the branch cables 9 during frame deployment enables the entire tent frame structure to attain greater rigidity under force application, enhanced resistance to external loads, extended service life, and superior operational performance compared to conventional tent frames.

[0034] In some implementations, the stabilizing member includes a connecting member fixedly disposed in the top beam, a tension spring is fixedly connected to an outer side of the connecting member, a press-lock clasp is fixedly connected to an end of the tension spring, a stabilizing cable assembly is disposed below the press-lock clasp, a top end of the stabilizing cable assembly is located in the top beam, a bottom end of the stabilizing cable assembly is located in the main beam, a loop fastener is fixedly connected to the top end of the stabilizing cable assembly, the loop fastener and the press-lock clasp are mutually engaged, and the bottom end of the stabilizing cable assembly is connected to the branch cables.

[0035] In some implementations, the stabilizing cable assembly is made of high-strength fiber material.

[0036] In some implementations, a wear-resistant protective sleeve is sleeved on an outer side of the stabilizing cable assembly.

[0037] In some implementations, the branching mechanism includes a branching base sleeved through the main beam, a top end of the branching base is fixedly mounted in the main beam by bolts, a spring retaining seat is fixedly mounted at the top end of the branching base, a limiting spring is disposed in the main beam, a bottom end of the limiting spring is engaged with the spring retaining seat, and a top end of the limiting spring contacts a bottom end of the top beam.

[0038] In some implementations, the branching base is provided with a cable branching groove, and the branch cables are disposed in the cable branching groove.

[0039] In some implementations, a cable guide groove matching the cable branching groove is further formed at a bottom end of the branching base, and the branch cables are penetrated through the cable guide groove.

[0040] In some implementations, an inner wall of the cable guide groove is provided with a lubricating layer.

[0041] In some implementations, a hook is fixedly mounted at an end of each branch cable, a hanging ring is fixedly mounted on an outer side of each column, and the hook is engaged with the hanging ring.

[0042] In some implementations, an anti-release latch is disposed at an opening of the hook.

[0043] Compared to the prior art, the beneficial effects according to the present disclosure are as follows.

[0044] The stabilization device for a tent frame provided by the present disclosure operates as follows: when the tent frame is deployed, as the columns in the tent frame body expand toward the corners, the corner columns pull the branch cables outward. At this time, the stabilizing member in the top beam generates an upward pulling force on the branch cables while causing the top beam to be subjected to a downward pulling force, thereby driving the top beam to move downward within the main beam. The top beam positioned above the tent frame body, under the combined action of gravitational force from the tent canopy and tensile forces between the stabilizing member and the four columns, lowers the center of gravity of the entire tent. A lower center of gravity and larger supporting surface increase the structural stability coefficient, thereby enhancing overall stability. Simultaneously, the stabilizing member providing tension to the branch cables during frame deployment enables the tent frame body to achieve greater structural rigidity under force application, improved resistance to external forces, extended service life, and superior operational performance compared to conventional tent frames.

[0045] It is specifically noted that while this specification describes embodiments individually, each embodiment may not exclusively contain a single independent technical solution. This narrative approach is adopted solely for clarity. Those skilled in the art shall interpret the specification as an integrated whole, and technical solutions across different embodiments may be appropriately combined to form other implementations understandable to those skilled in the art.
