Description

Outdoor shutter tent with convenient assembly structure Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of outdoor tents, and in particular to an outdoor shutter tent with a convenient assembly structure. Background Art

[0002] The ring beams and columns of the shutter tents currently on the market are very large during production, and disassembly and assembly require more than 3-4 people. The ring beams must reserve row holes for installing the shutter components. When installing the shutter components, one person is required to first align the holes and install them, and then fix the other end.

[0003] Existing shutter tents have the following defects:

[0004] (1) The cost of louver installation profiles is relatively high: multiple reinforcing ribs are set inside the louver for fixation and assembly, and the reinforcing ribs and the louver need to be formed as one piece during the processing, which increases the difficulty of processing. Once the specifications of one of the reinforcing ribs are unqualified, it will cause overall errors, easily lead to waste of raw materials, and increase processing costs.

[0005] (2) The installation of louvers and ring beams is relatively complicated: usually due to the limitations of the ring beam structure, the louver tent cannot be effectively expanded according to actual needs, the assembly is difficult, and the compatibility of various components is not high.

[0006] (3) Existing columns and ring beams are usually connected by angle fittings. This connection method has many accessories, large assembly errors and difficulty, and the exposed screws are not aesthetically pleasing.

[0007] (4) Existing louvered awnings are all single independent structures, and it is impossible to realize the splicing and expansion of multiple louvered awnings;

[0008] (5) Existing shutter assemblies usually use a rocker and a worm gear mechanism to control the opening and closing. The input shaft of the worm gear mechanism has a hanging ring, and the upper end of the rocker has a hook. The hook hooks the hanging ring, and the rocker is rotated, and the rocker drives the worm gear mechanism to work. The problem is that the hook on the rocker can only be hooked into the hanging ring from the side, which is difficult to align and inconvenient to operate.

[0009] (6) Existing louver assemblies usually have two driving modes: manual and electric. The electric mode requires a motor module to be installed on the ring beam for driving. The problem is that the motor module is exposed above the ring beam, which is not beautiful and has poor protection effect.

[0010] Furthermore, to ensure the integrity of the product's appearance, existing louver tents typically use an integrated light bar tube and ring beam or top tube assembly. This assembly method is relatively simple. This not only increases the number of similar profiles, but if users do not install the light bar, the grooves will affect the product's appearance, requiring replacement of non-grooved tubes to ensure the integrity of the product's appearance. It also makes replacement difficult. If a light bar fails and needs to be replaced, the entire tent must be disassembled to replace the light bar, wasting time and labor costs for users.

The end of the column 4 is built into the column lining 8, and the column lining 8 has corresponding holes and grooves for the bolts and the limiting fixing piece 5 to pass through.

[0120] When assembling the column 4 and the ring beam 3, the assembly of the ring beam 3, the ring beam lining 7, and the limiting fixing piece 5 are pre-assembled, the limiting fixing piece 5 is inserted into the gourd hole 400, the end of the ring beam 3 is tightly attached to the column 4, and then the reinforcement 6 is inserted into the column 4, so that the limiting opening 600 of the reinforcement 6 is engaged with the limiting groove 500 of the limiting fixing piece 5, and finally the reinforcement 6 is fixed to the column 4, the column lining 8, and the ring beam lining 7 by bolts.

[0121] Continuing to refer to FIG3 to FIG10 , the column 4 has the following four implementation modes:

[0122] The first embodiment: As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the column 4 is an L-shaped column;

[0123] Second embodiment: As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the column 4 is an L-shaped column;

[0124] The third embodiment: As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the column 4 is a T-shaped column;

[0125] Fourth embodiment: As shown in FIG9 and FIG10 , the column 4 is a meter-shaped column.

[0126] This embodiment is applied to outdoor awnings, and the roof of the awning can be installed with a louver roof, a PC roof, a metal roof, a cloth roof, etc.

[0127] In one alternative embodiment, see Figure 11 , this embodiment, based on any of the above embodiments, makes the following changes: This embodiment eliminates the structure of the limiting fixture 5, and the upper and lower ends of the reinforcement member 6 are connected to the column 4 and the ring beam 3 by a bolt. Specifically, the bolt passes through the column lining 8 and the shell wall of the column 1, and then screws into the ring beam lining 7. The column lining 8 and the shell wall of the column 4 are clamped between the reinforcement member 6 and the ring beam lining 7.

[0128] This embodiment is applied to outdoor awnings, and the roof of the awning can be installed with a louver roof, a PC roof, a metal roof, a cloth roof, etc.

[0129] In one preferred embodiment, referring to Figures 12 to 22 , an outdoor shutter tent with a convenient assembly structure includes a tent frame and a shutter device disposed on the top of the tent frame. The tent frame is assembled using the tent frame assembly structure described in the above embodiment.

[0130] The shutter device includes a shutter assembly 1 and a shutter driving mechanism for driving the shutter assembly 1 to rotate. A plurality of shutter clips 2 spliced ​​in sequence are installed on the ring beam 3 along its length direction by bolts. Each shutter clip 2 is rotated and snap-fitted with the end of one or more shutter assemblies 1.

[0131] It can be understood that in the above technical solution, this embodiment installs the louver clip 2 on the ring beam 3, and the louver clip 2 is rotated and snap-fitted with the louver assembly 1, thereby realizing convenient disassembly and assembly of the louver assembly 1, facilitating replacement of the louver assembly 1, and improving user experience.

[0132] Continuing to refer to FIG. 13 to FIG. 15 , the shutter clip 2 is a strip-shaped structure, and both ends thereof are connected to the ring beam 3 by bolts.

[0133] Continuing with Figure 13 , the shutter clip 2 is a deformable structure, preferably made of plastic, with a snap-fit ​​notch 200, preferably an arc-shaped notch, that rotatably snaps into engagement with the rotating shaft 100 of the shutter assembly 1. Specifically, the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the rotating shaft 100 matches that of the notch 200, allowing the notch 200 to be squeezed into the notch 200 by virtue of its tendency to deform and expand under pressure.

[0134] Continuing to refer to FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 , adjacent shutter clips 2 are engaged with each other in the vertical direction through the concave-convex structure.

[0135] Specifically, the concave-convex structure includes a protrusion 201 and a groove 202 for engaging with the protrusion 201 in the vertical direction. The protrusion 201 is arranged at one end of the shutter clamp 2, and the groove 202 is arranged at the other end of the shutter clamp 2.

[0136] It should be noted that the ring beam 3 is usually made of metal material, which is difficult to directly snap-fit ​​with the louver assembly 1. Therefore, in this embodiment, a louver clip 2 made of plastic is installed on the ring beam 3, and the deformation characteristics of the plastic are used to snap-fit ​​with the louver assembly 1.

[0137] Before the product leaves the factory, the louver clip 2 can be pre-installed on the ring beam 3. After it is delivered to the customer, the customer only needs to snap the rotating shaft 100 of the louver assembly 1 into the bayonet 200 of the louver clip 2, which is very convenient.

[0138] Continuing to refer to FIGS. 16-22, this embodiment further includes a drainage system comprising a drainage groove 9 provided on at least one side of the ring beam 3. The drainage groove 9 includes a fitting wall 900, a groove bottom 901, and a water retaining wall 902.

In a specific structure, the water trough fixing member 10 is fixed on the drain pipe 11 in the column 4. Usually, the drainage groove 9 has an inner-high and outer-low cross-section in a "U" shape, or can also be in a "U" shape, which can be correspondingly set according to the usage requirements. Usually, the fitting wall 900 is higher than the water retaining wall 902, and the fitting wall 900 realizes the fitting with one sidewall of the ring beam 3. The ring beam 3 can be in a "square" shape, which is convenient for manufacturing and forming.

[0139] As shown in FIGS. 21 and 23, there are two drainage grooves 9, which can be respectively installed on the two sidewalls of the ring beam 3. This ring beam 3 is usually the middle bearing ring beam 3 in an extended tent.

[0140] Among them, the water trough fixing member 10 is used to cooperate with the drainage groove 9 for fixed installation. The upper part of the water trough fixing member 10 is provided with a buckle part 1000, and the buckle part 1000 is used to clamp the water retaining wall 902. The buckle part 1000 is usually an inverted structure. The water trough fixing member 10 is preferably provided with a drainage cover 1001, and the drainage cover 1001 is used to cooperate with the upper end of the drain pipe 11 for installation. Usually, the lower part of the drainage cover 1001 is partially embedded in the inner cavity of the upper end of the drain pipe 11 to achieve snap-fit fixation. The upper part of the water trough fixing member 10 completes the snap-fit fixation of the drainage groove 9 through the buckle part 1000. Usually, the single-sided drainage groove 9 is fixed and installed through the two side columns 4 and the adjacent ring beam 3.

[0141] Preferably, the drain pipe 11 is fitted and installed on the column 4. The drain pipe 11 is a part of the structure of the column 4.

The upper end of the drain pipe 11 is a drainage inlet 1100, and the drainage inlet 1100 is used to be fitted with the drainage cover 1001. After the rainwater enters the end through the drainage groove 9, it enters the drainage inlet 1100 through the drainage port 1002 and is discharged downward along the inner cavity of the drain pipe 11. Usually, the bottom end of the drain pipe 11 is provided with a drain outlet 1102, which is convenient for drainage.

[0142] In the specific structure, the drain pipe 11 is provided with a drain pipe fitting wall 1101, and the column 4 is provided with a connecting wall 401, and the drain pipe fitting wall 1101 is used to fit together with the connecting wall 401; the drain pipe 11 is independently matched and can be conveniently assembled and used.

[0143] In combination with the above, in one of the preferred embodiments, there are two snap-fit ​​parts 1000, and the two snap-fit ​​parts 1000 are respectively used to connect the drainage grooves 9 between adjacent ring beams 3. The sink fixing part 10 also includes a snap-fit ​​seat 1003, and the two snap-fit ​​parts 1000 are respectively located on both sides of the snap-fit ​​seat 1003. The two snap-fit ​​parts 1000 are vertically distributed at 90°, and the sink fixing part 10 is an integrated molded structure; a single sink fixing part 10 is used to match the installation of the drainage grooves 9 on both sides, reduce the installation components, and improve the installation stability; in the remaining embodiments, a single sink fixing part 10 can also be used to match the installation of a single drainage groove 9.

[0144] Through the above structure, the drainage trough 9 and the drainage pipe 11 both adopt an external assembly structure, which can be combined and assembled without affecting other accessories. It can be used in tents of different specifications. As shown in Figure 8, especially when the tent needs to be extended, there is no need to replace the ring beam 3 component, and it can be used in conjunction with it, which has good matching applicability.

[0145] In another embodiment, the above-mentioned water trough fixing member 10 can also be fixed on the ring beam 3.

[0153] Continuing to refer to the attached drawings, an assembly cavity 211' is provided inside the ring beam 210'. A drainage groove 212' and a mounting groove 213' are provided on one side of the assembly cavity 211'. The mounting groove 213' is used to mount the rotating shaft 224'. The alignment groove 215' is provided on the inner wall of the assembly cavity 211'. Among them, the alignment groove 215' is an assembly groove and is integrally formed with the ring beam 210'. In specific operations, in order to reduce the processing difficulty of the ring beam 210', a lining member 214' is provided inside the assembly cavity 211'. The lining member 214' is embedded at both ends of the assembly cavity 211' and is in interference fit or welded and fixed with the assembly cavity 211'. The alignment groove 215' is provided on the inner wall of the lining member 214'. In this embodiment, four alignment grooves 21' are provided in the inner cavity of the lining member 214', which are respectively provided on the top wall, bottom wall and side walls of the inner cavity.

[0154] In addition, the connection component 300' includes a locking end and an assembly end. The locking end is used to cooperate with the docking hole 110' for fastening, and the assembly end is used to cooperate with the alignment groove 215' for fixing. The locking end and the assembly end are an integrally formed stud 310'. The assembly end of the stud 310' is threadedly connected or in interference fit with the alignment groove 215'. The locking end of the stud 310' passes through the docking hole 110' and is fastened with the nut 320'. Or the locking end and the assembly end are an integrally formed screw 330'. The locking end of the screw 330' is a nut, and the assembly end is a screw rod. The screw rod passes through the docking hole 110' and is screwed and fixed with the alignment groove 215'.

In the specific structure, the ring beam 210' is arranged on multiple sides of the column 100', and can be extended to form the layout of a shutter tent with a structure such as a "day" shape, a "pin" shape or a "field" shape. For the convenience of the extensibility of the shutter tent, the cross-section of the column 100' can be selected as a square or a rectangle. In this embodiment, drainage grooves 212' are provided on both sides of the assembly cavity of the ring beam 210' (that is, the ring beam 210' shared by two adjacent "mouth" shaped shutter tents) connected in the middle of the "day" shape or the "pin" shape.

[0156] It can be understood that the ring beam 210', the column 100' and the connection component 300' of the present application are all unified components, which avoid the problems of complex assembly and poor matching degree caused by the complexity of existing accessories; can perform extended assembly, widening and lengthening on the shutter tent as needed; and have a unified structure and simple assembly. When assembling, the connection component 300' is inside the ring beam 210' and the column 100', avoiding the exposure of components and affecting the overall appearance of the shutter tent.

[0157] Continuing to refer to the accompanying drawings, it can be seen that the louver body 221' includes a hollow main board 2211', and an upper cover part 2212' and a lower cover part 2213' are respectively provided on both sides of the hollow main board 2211', and the upper cover part 2212' is used to correspond to the lower cover part 2213' of the adjacent louver body 221' in upper and lower snap-fitting engagement; a smooth cavity is provided in the hollow main board 2211', and the louver lining 223' is interference fit with the smooth cavity or fixed by welding or screws. The lower cover 2213 is provided with a first positioning groove 2214' and a water collecting groove 2215'. The first positioning groove 2214' cooperates with screws to fix the louver end plate 222' and the louver lining 223'; the water collecting groove 2214' is connected with the drainage groove 212' of the ring beam 210' to discharge the accumulated water in the louver plate 220'; a reinforcing rib 2231' is provided in the middle part of the inner cavity of the louver lining 223', and the assembly groove 2232' is provided on the reinforcing rib 2231'; a second positioning groove 2233' is provided at the end corner of the inner cavity of the louver lining 223', which is fastened with the louver end plate 222' by screws; and at least two end corners diagonally opposite to each other in the inner cavity of the louver lining 223' are provided with second positioning grooves 2233'. Several clips 2234' are arranged at intervals on the outer end surface of the louver lining 223' to facilitate the insertion of the louver lining 223 into the hollow main board 2211'. The clips 2234', the assembly grooves 2232', and the second positioning grooves 2233' are arranged in parallel and are consistent with the length direction of the louver body 221'.

[0158] Furthermore, the louver end plate 222' is provided with a through hole 2221' at a position corresponding to the assembly groove 2232' for the passage of the rotating shaft 224'; the louver end plate 222' is provided with a second fastening hole 2223' at a position corresponding to the second positioning groove 2233' for the cooperation and fastening of the louver end plate 222' and the louver lining 223'; the louver end plate 222' corresponds to the first positioning groove 2233'. A first fastening hole 2222' is set at the position of the groove 2214', which is used for the cooperation and fastening of the louver end plate 222' and the louver plate body 221'; a third fastening hole 2224' is also set on the louver end plate 222', which is connected to the linkage bar 231' of the linkage assembly 230', and the third fastening hole 2224' is set on the side of the first fastening hole 2222' away from the through hole 2221'.

[0159] The rotating shaft 224' is secured with the assembly slot 2232' by an interference fit or threaded fit, and the rotating shaft 224' is rotatably engaged with the through hole 2221'. The rotating shaft 224' cooperates with the linkage assembly 230' disposed on the ring beam 210', and the linkage assembly 230' drives the louvers 220' to complete the flipping. When the linkage assembly 230' drives the louvers 220' to extend, the louver bodies 221' gradually expand horizontally; when the linkage assembly 230' drives the louvers 220' to retract, the louver bodies 221' gradually flip from horizontal to vertical. The linkage assembly 230' includes a linkage bar 231', a motor 232', a first linkage member 233' and a second linkage member 234'. The output shaft 2321' of the motor 232' is cooperatively connected to one end of the first linkage member 233', and the other end of the first linkage member 233' is cooperatively connected to one end of the second linkage member 234'; the other end of the second linkage member 234' is cooperatively connected to the linkage hole 2311' set on the linkage bar 231, and the linkage bar 231' is driven by the motor 232' to move synchronously. The linkage bar 231' is also provided with a number of spaced-apart axial holes 2312' that mate with the third fastening holes 2224' on the louver end plate 222' via a connecting shaft 235', a spacer 236', and a buckle 237'. The movement of the linkage bar 231' drives the synchronous movement of the louver 220'. The sidewalls of the mounting slot 213' of the ring beam 210' are provided with a number of slots 2131'. The rotating shaft 224' is inserted into these slots 2131' and engages with the rotating plastic part 2132' and C-shaped clamp 2133' to achieve rotational engagement. Water from the water collection trough 2215' of the louver body 221' flows into the drainage trough 212' and is discharged through the drainage trough 212'.

[0160] It can be understood that by setting the louver lining 223' between the louver main body 221' and the louver end plate 222', it is avoided to directly set reinforcing ribs connected to the rotating shaft 224' and the louver end plate 222' in the louver main body 221', thereby reducing the processing difficulty of the louver main body 221'. At the same time, the louver lining 223' only needs to be set at both ends of the louver main body 221', which has a simple structure and is easy to install.

[0161] As shown in Figures 36 and 37, a light bar assembly 400' can be detachably mounted on the drainage trough 212' of the ring beam 210'. The light bar assembly 400' comprises a light bar tube 410' and a light cord connector 420'. A groove 411' is provided on the light bar tube 410'. A fixing groove 412' is provided on the sidewall of the groove 411', which is away from the light bar tube 410'. The groove 411' engages with the sidewall of the drainage trough 212'. The fixing hole 4121' provided in the fixing groove 412' is fastened to the clip-on groove 2121' provided on the sidewall of the drainage trough 212' via a fastener. This allows for installation according to user needs and facilitates replacement of the light bar assembly 400'.

[0162] As shown in Figures 38 and 39, a base 500' is provided at the bottom of the column 100', and the column 100' and the base 500' are fixed together by a column lining 130' embedded in the end of the column 100', and the base 500' is fixed to the ground by ground nails; the column lining 130' and the column 100' are interference fit or welded, and a drain outlet 120' is provided at the same position of the column lining 130' and the column 100', and a reinforcement groove 131' is provided at the end corner of the column lining 130' and is fastened to the reinforcement hole 510' provided on the base 500' by screws. A through groove corresponding to the drainage groove 212 ′ is provided on the column 100 ′, so that the accumulated water in the drainage groove 212 ′ flows into the column 100 ′ and is discharged through the drainage port 120 ′ at the bottom of the column 100 ′.

[0163] Conventional columns 100' and bases 500' are either integrally formed or welded together, a method of connection that is difficult to manufacture. In this embodiment, a column liner 130' is used to secure the column 100', reducing the manufacturing complexity and ensuring the stability of the column 100'. To facilitate the insertion of the column liner 130' into the column 100', several reinforcement strips 132' are provided on the outer surface of the column liner 130'.

[0164] This embodiment avoids the need to directly set reinforcing ribs connected to the rotating shaft and the louver end plates in the louver main body by setting a louver lining between the louver main body and the louver end plates, thereby reducing the difficulty of processing the louver main body; at the same time, the louver lining only needs to be set at both ends of the louver main body, which can reduce the weight of the louver main body, and the overall structure is simple and easy to install.

[0165] The ring beam, columns and connecting components in this embodiment are all unified parts, avoiding the problems of complex assembly and poor matching caused by the cumbersome existing accessories; by providing an inner lining in the ring beam and providing alignment grooves on the inner lining to cooperate with the docking holes on the columns, the processing difficulty of the ring beam is reduced; during assembly, the connecting components are inside the ring beam and the columns, avoiding exposure of components and affecting the overall appearance of the louver tent.

[0166] This embodiment can achieve the ductility of the shutter tent through unified parts (ring beam, columns and connecting components), and can extend, assemble, widen and lengthen the shutter tent as needed; and has a unified structure and simple assembly.

[0167] In this embodiment, grooves are set on the light bar group and drainage grooves are set on the ring beam. The light bar group is quickly installed by buckling the grooves into the drainage grooves, which effectively simplifies the assembly process of the light bar group and the subsequent disassembly procedure of the product, ensuring the product's functionality.
