Outdoor Tent Buckle Mechanism and Beam Skeleton Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing outdoor fixed tent assembly processes are complex and labor-intensive, requiring auxiliary tools that are often unnecessary and costly, with positional deviations common during assembly due to the large size of the structure.
Innovation Solution
The outdoor fixed tent features an optimized tent beam skeleton structure that serves as an auxiliary tool for stand column construction, combined with a buckle mechanism for rapid component assembly, allowing for independent building and reducing labor costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If stand columns are fixed by pegs in advance, then assembly can proceed, but positional deviations occur during assembly of cross beams affecting overall assembly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-processing the stand columns and cross beams with matching connection structures (such as grooves, keys, or alignment features) before assembly. This pre-preparation ensures that when components are assembled, they automatically align correctly without requiring precise manual positioning or auxiliary tools, thereby eliminating positional deviations while maintaining ease of assembly.
2Ease of operation
If auxiliary tools are configured separately for building the tent, then assembly can be performed, but labor cost increases and tools are wasted after use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by designing the tent structure with self-contained connection mechanisms. The stand columns, cross beams, and roof components include integrated connection features (such as built-in fasteners, interlocking structures, or alignment guides) that enable the tent to be assembled without requiring external auxiliary tools. This allows users to independently build the tent while eliminating the need for separate tools that would otherwise be needed and wasted after use.
3Area of stationary object
If the overall structure is large, then tent capacity is increased, but positional deviations easily occur during assembly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the large tent structure into modular components (stand columns, cross beams, roof sections) with standardized connection interfaces. Each component is designed with specific connection features that ensure precise alignment relative to adjacent components. This modular segmentation allows the large overall structure to be assembled from smaller, precisely-fitted units, maintaining position accuracy even as the total tent size increases.

AI summary
An outdoor fixed tent includes a tent roof and a tent frame. The tent roof is installed at an upper part of the tent frame and includes multiple roof tent skeletons and tent beam skeletons. Each roof tent skeleton has one end cooperating with the tent frame and the other end extending towards a center of the tent roof and being inclined upwards. The tent beam skeletons are arranged transversely, and at least one end of each tent beam skeleton cooperates with the corresponding roof tent skeleton. The tent beam skeletons at a same horizontal height are constructed to form a horizontal frame. The tent frame includes multiple stand columns and a cross beam connected between adjacent two stand columns. An installation seat is arranged at an upper end of each stand column. Two ends of the cross beam are respectively installed in cooperation with the corresponding installation seats.
