Description

 Folding tent TECHNICAL FIELD

 The invention relates to a tent, especially a tent that can be conveniently and quickly folded. Background technique

 With the continuous development of the tourism industry, various types of tents have emerged, such as light tourism type, multifunctional type, inflatable type, folding type and so on. No matter what type of tent is, its structure is more complicated, if it needs pillars or beams, some need to be assembled, and some need to be inflated. Moreover, additional equipment or tools are generally required, which causes inconvenience to travel and use. At the same time, the unpacking process is complicated and takes a lot of time when it is unfolded and built and folded. Disclosure of invention

 The object of the present invention is to provide a tent that has a simple structure, does not require pillars or beams, does not require inflatables and additional tools, and can be quickly and easily deployed to build or disassemble a tent.

 The structure of the present invention is composed of a set of closed steel rings, curved steel wires and tarpaulin. The steel reeds can be four, six or eight, and the closed steel rings are formed by bending the flexible spring steel wires. The tents are connected in pairs to form a tent, and the tarpaulin is connected to the binding edge to make it integrated with the tent.

 The outstanding advantage of the invention is that the bracket is composed of a group of closed steel rings connected in pairs, no pillars, or beams or inflatables are needed, the structure is simple and there is no assembly process, it is quick and easy to set up or disassemble, and it is moisture and mosquito proof. Description of the drawings

 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

 FIG. 2 is a partial structural cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the present invention, showing a shape of a binding edge.

 FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a stent according to an embodiment of the present invention.

 FIG. 4 is a front view of an embodiment of the present invention. The details of the example

As can be seen from the drawings, the exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 3, which is a tent support composed of a closed steel ball bent by six flexible spring steel wires and two curved steel wires. Reference numerals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 indicate six closed steel coils bent by spring steel wires, and 7, 8 are two arc-shaped steel wires. Steel rims and steel wires are covered by bundle edges, copper rims and steel reeds, and steel rims and steel wires They are connected by binding edges, and the tent tarpaulin is also connected with the binding edges, so that the steel ring, steel wire and tent tarpaulin as a tent support become a whole.

 The steel ring 1 and the steel ring 2 are respectively covered with a material having sufficient strength such as Oxford cloth to form a binding edge 11, and then the adjacent edges 21 of the two steel rings are connected by sewing or bonding the binding edges The closed position of the steel reed 2 is connected by the steel reed joint 9. The steel reed joint can be made of metal or plastic with sufficient strength. Similarly, the arc-shaped steel wires 7, 8 and the steel reeds 3, 4, 5, 6 are also covered by bundle edges, respectively. The steel ring 3 and the adjacent edge 37 of the arc-shaped steel wire 7 are connected by the bundle edges. The closed position of the steel reed 3 It is connected with the end of the arc-shaped steel wire 7 by the steel ring joint 9; and so on, the steel ring 1 and the adjacent edge 71 of the arc-shaped steel wire 7 are connected by the binding edge 11. The closed position of the steel ring 1 and the arc-shaped steel wire 7 The ends are connected by the steel reed joint 9 in common, the steel reed 4 and the adjacent edge 45 of the steel ring 5 are connected by the binding edge 11, the closed portion of the steel ring 5 is connected by the steel reed joint 9, and the steel ring 5 and the steel reed 6 are adjacent 56 is connected by the binding edge 11, the steel reed 6 and the adjacent edge 48 of the curved steel wire 8 are connected by the binding edge 11, and the closed portion of the steel ring 6 and the end of the curved steel wire 8 are connected by the steel ring joint 9. 4 The adjacent edge 48 of the arc-shaped steel wire 8 is connected by the binding edge 11, and the closed position of the steel reed 4 and the end of the arc-shaped steel wire 8 are connected by a steel reed joint 9. Through this way of binding, the steel ring and the steel reed, and the steel reed and the steel wire are connected together, thereby forming a tent support. In addition, because the tarpaulin 10 is sewn or glued with the binding edge 11 to make the entire tent into a whole, no assembly or additional equipment is required for folding or unfolding.

 As shown in FIG. 4, the tent 10 can have two doors. To prevent insects and mosquitoes, a layer of nylon net can be set at the door opening and opened and closed by a zipper 15. There may be a lanyard 16 above the door. A waterproof mat can be added to the bottom of the tent, and the waterproof mat can be fixed by a nylon patch 18 provided around the bottom of the tent. There are plastic buckles 19 at the four corners of the bottom of the tent, which are also used to fix the waterproof pad. Multiple tents can also be provided at the bottom of the tent, such as six top ropes of sufficient strength 17, to fix the tent to the ground or the plane on which the tent is placed.

 When folding the tent, you can push the adjacent edge 21 inward to coincide with the adjacent edge 37. Similarly, push the adjacent edge 56 inward to coincide with the adjacent edge 48, and then turn the adjacent edge 23 counterclockwise to It coincides with the adjacent edge 71, and the adjacent edge 45 turns clockwise to coincide with the adjacent edge 68. At this time, the planes of all the steel rings overlap, and then it turns to form three overlapping rings. At this time, the folding is completed. The unfolding and establishment is the reverse process of folding, so as to realize the quick and convenient unfolding and folding of the tent.

 The folding tent formed by the six steel balls and two steel wires as described above is only one embodiment of the present invention. The bracket of the folding tent provided by the present invention may also be composed of four or six steel rings, except that the steel rings are all closed steel rings. And closed steel rings can be made into triangles, circles, ovals, squares, polygons, etc. Its structure is basically the same, and the steel reeds are connected in pairs by means of binding edges. The formation of the hem joint is not limited to the method described above.
