The two ends of the pull rope 3 can be fixed by screws 9 or other fixing members.

[0078] The pull rope 3 is preferably provided with two, which are connected to the two side frames of the middle frame 7, and the two ends of the pull rope 3 are connected to the side edges of the front supporting plate 1 and the rear supporting plate 2 respectively, further improving the stability of the front supporting plate 1.

[0079] Example Two

[0080] As shown in FIG. 4, in another embodiment, the difference from example one is that the middle frame 7 can not be provided, and the mounting piece 73 in the shape of inverted T can be directly fixed on the middle plate 72, and the pulley 71 can also be installed, and the structure is simpler. Specifically, the mounting piece 73 can be fixed on both sides of the middle plate 72, and cooperates with the two pull ropes 3, when the front supporting plate 1 and the rear supporting plate 2 are folded and closed, the cover along 10 on the front supporting plate 1 and the rear supporting plate 2 and the mounting piece 73 are contained inside the tent. In addition to connecting the pull rope 3 with the pulley 71, the middle part of the pull rope 3 can also be fixed by a fixing member, specifically by a screw 9, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the mounting piece 73 is not provided with a pulley support, and the middle part of the pull rope 3 is connected to the mounting piece 73 by the screw 9. If there is a middle frame 7, the pull rope 3 can also be directly fixed to the middle frame 7 by the screw 9, and the pull rope 3 can also form a triangular structure between the front supporting plate 1 and the middle frame 7, and between the rear supporting plate 2 and the middle frame 7.

When the spring pin 20 is pulled away from the limiting member 16, the spring pin 20 exits the hole 21, and the sliding of the limiting member 16 is unlocked. Specifically, the limiting member 16 is located on the bottom plate 11 or the top plate 13, and the flipping of the side plate 12 and the top plate 13 is unlocked. At this time, the spring pin 20 is aligned with the hole 21 of the bottom plate 11 or the top plate 13, and is inserted into the hole 21. Alternatively, the limiting member 16 slides from the bottom plate 11 to the top plate 13 or from the top plate to the bottom plate 11, and spans the bottom plate 11, the side plate 12 and the top plate 13, and locks the flipping of the side plate 12 and the top plate 13. At this time, the spring pin 20 is aligned with the hole 21 of the top plate 13 or the bottom plate 11, and is inserted into the hole 21, and the flipping of the side plate and the top plate 13 is locked.

[0085] Further, a soft protection piece 17 is arranged between the limiting piece 16 and the guide part 14 to be spaced from the bottom plate 11, the side plate 12 and the top plate 13 when the limiting piece 16 slides. Specifically, the soft protection piece 17 is made of plastic material, and the limiting piece 16 is made of metal material. The soft protection piece 17 made of plastic material can reduce the noise generated by the sliding friction between the limiting piece 16 and the bottom plate 11, the side plate 12 and the top plate 13, and can also prevent the paint from falling off between the limiting piece 16 and the bottom plate 11, the side plate 12 and the top plate 13.

[0086] Preferably, the guide part 14 is a sliding groove 15 arranged on the left and right side edges of the bottom plate 11, the side plate 12 and the top plate 13. When the bottom plate 11, the side plate 12 and the top plate 13 are folded to the same plane, the sliding grooves 15 on the left side of the bottom plate 11, the side plate 12 and the top plate 13 are connected in a straight line, and the sliding grooves 15 on the right side of the bottom plate 11, the side plate 12 and the top plate 13 are also connected in a straight line. The two limiting pieces 16 are respectively slidably connected in the sliding grooves 15 on the left and right side edges of the bottom plate 11, the side plate 12 and the top plate 13.

[0087] Preferably, the upper and lower surfaces of the left and right side edges of the bottom plate 11, the side plate 12 and the top plate 13 are provided with the sliding grooves 15, and the limiting piece 16 is a C-shaped pipe. The two soft protection pieces 17 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower inner walls of the opening of the limiting piece 16, and cover and protect the upper and lower inner walls of the limiting piece 16. When the limiting piece 16 slides, the soft protection pieces 17 separate the limiting piece 16 from the sliding grooves 15. The soft protection piece 17 on the upper inner wall protrudes a clamping block 18 downward, and the soft protection piece 17 on the lower inner wall protrudes a clamping block 18 upward. The two clamping blocks 18 are simultaneously slidably connected in the sliding grooves 15 on the upper and lower surfaces, so as to slidably connect the limiting piece 16 in the sliding groove 15 of the bottom plate 11. The limiting piece 16 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 15 through the soft protection piece 17, which can reduce the noise and the paint falling when sliding.

[0088] Further, the length of the limiting piece 16 is less than the length of the top plate 13 and the bottom plate 11, and greater than the length of the side plate 12. When the limiting piece 16 moves to the side plate 12, it can exceed the side plate 12, so that the two ends of the limiting piece 16 are respectively located on the bottom plate 11 and the top plate 13, thereby locking the folding of the side plate 12 and the top plate 13. When the limiting piece 16 slides to the bottom plate 11 or the top plate 13, it can unlock the folding of the side plate 12 and the top plate 13.
