FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to camping equipment and in particular to a foldable canopy frame with one or more side eave frames.


BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

Existing eave frame structures of foldable canopy frames are described as follow.


CN207633851U discloses an eave mechanism for a canopy frame. The canopy frame comprises one or more column units, and each of the one or more column units comprises a column, a fixed seat fixedly mounted on the column, and a sliding seat slidably connected to the column. An oblique supporting rod is rotatably connected to the sliding seat. The eave mechanism comprises a connecting rod and an eave rod that can extend at least partially outside the canopy frame when the canopy frame is unfolded. The eave rod is rotatably connected to the one or more column units. A first end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the eave rod. The eave rod is connected to an upper part of the one or more column units. A second end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to one of the sliding seat or the oblique supporting rod. When the canopy frame is folded, the eave rod is located within spacing between adjacent two column units of the one or more column units.


CN203308175U, U.S. Pat. No. 7,775,229B2, and CN201695753U disclose folding canopy frames that each comprises a canopy frame, a side eave frame, columns, and a top canopy frame. A top of each of the columns is fixedly connected to a top seat, and each of the columns is slidably disposed with an upper sliding seat and a lower sliding seat. The top seat, the upper sliding seat, and the lower sliding seat are arranged vertically. The side eave frame includes an eave rod and a telescopic tube. One end of the eave rod is rotatably connected to the top seat, while one end of the telescopic tube is rotatably connected to the second sliding seat, and the other end is rotatably connected to a middle part of the eave rod.


The supporting structures (e.g., the connecting rods and the telescopic tubes) of the aforementioned eave frame designs are all rotatably connected to movable components (e.g., the sliding seats, the oblique supporting rods, or the second sliding seats) that are movable relative to the columns. This structural relationship creates a dependency between the unfolding or folding of the eave frame and the canopy frame, which complicates the unfolding and folding of the rods. Moreover, the available space under the side eave is relatively small.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
Embodiment 1

A foldable canopy frame with side eave frames, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, comprises a canopy frame 10 and at least one pair of side eave frames 20. Two side eave frames 20 of each pair of the at least one pair of side eave frames 20 are respectively connected to two adjacent columns 11 of four columns 11, and each of the two side eave frames 20 is connected to an upper connecting seat 111 and a lower connecting seat 113 of a corresponding one of the two adjacent columns 11.


The canopy frame 10 comprises the four columns 11 and an upper canopy frame connected to the four columns 11. A top end of each of the four columns 11 is fixedly disposed with the upper connecting seat 111, and the upper canopy frame is connected to the upper connecting seat 111 of each of the four columns 11. Each of the four columns 11 is slidably disposed with a sliding seat 112, and a folding frame 12 is connected to the upper connecting seats 111 and the sliding seats 112 of each pair of adjacent columns 11 of the four columns 11. The folding frame 12 comprises a plurality of scissor-shaped connecting rod groups 121 pivotally connected in series, and the folding frame 12 has four ends, which are respectively rotatably connected to the upper connecting seats 111 and the sliding seats 112 of each pair of the adjacent columns 11. The upper canopy frame comprises a first middle seat 13, four first upper rotating rods 14, four first lower rotating rods 15, and four supporting rods 16. A first end of each of the four first upper rotating rods 14 is rotatably connected to the first middle seat 13, a first end of each of the four first lower rotating rod 15 is rotatably connected to a second end of a corresponding one of the four first upper rotating rods 14, and a second end of each of the four first lower rotating rods 15 is rotatably connected to the upper connecting seat 111 of a corresponding one of the four columns 11. An upper end of each of the four supporting rods 16 is rotatably connected to a corresponding one of the four first lower rotating rods 15, and a lower end of each of the four supporting rods 16 is rotatably connected to the sliding seat 112 of a corresponding one of the four columns 11. Thereby, the four columns 11 can move outward from a center of the canopy frame 10 to unfold the canopy frame 10 or move from an outside to the center of the canopy frame 10 to fold the canopy frame 10.


In a further specific structure, the upper canopy frame further comprises a second middle seat 171 located below the first middle seat 13, a third middle seat 172 located below the second middle seat 171, four second upper rotating rods 173, and four second lower rotating rods 174. A first end of each of the four second upper rotating rods 173 is rotatably connected to a middle of a corresponding one of the four first upper rotating rods 14, and a second end of each of the four second upper rotating rods 173 is rotatably connected to the second middle seat 171. A first end of each of the four second lower rotating rods 174 is rotatably connected to a middle of a corresponding one of the four second upper rotating rods 173, and a second end of each of the four second lower rotating rods 174 is rotatably connected to the third middle seat 172. A sliding rail 1721 is fixedly disposed on the third middle seat 172, and the second middle seat 171 can be slidably connected to the sliding rail up and down. A first elastic body 18 is disposed between the second middle seat 171 and the third middle seat 172, and a third locking mechanism 1722 is disposed between the sliding rail 1721 and the second middle seat 171 to enable the second middle seat 171 to be locked in an unfolded state. Through this structure, the canopy frame 10 can be automatically unfolded or be assisted to be unfolded. Convenience of unfolding is improved, and stability of the canopy frame 10 in the unfolded state is improved.


Referring to FIGS. 3 to 6, each of the four columns 11 is fixedly disposed with the lower connecting seat 113, and the lower connecting seat 113 is located between the upper connecting seat 111 and the sliding seat 112. Each side eave frame 20 of the at least one pair of side eave frames 20 comprises an eave rod 21 and a supporting mechanism 22 (see FIG. 1). A first end of the eave rod 21 is rotatably connected to the upper connecting seat 111 of one of the four columns 11, a first end of the supporting mechanism 22 is rotatably connected to the lower connecting seat 113 of the one of the four columns 11, and a second end of the supporting mechanism 22 is connected to a middle part of the eave rod 21. The upper connecting seat 111, the lower connecting seat 113, and a corresponding side eave frame 20 of the at least one pair of side eave frames 20 are connected to form an unfoldable and foldable mechanism. In this embodiment, firstly, unfolding or folding of each side eave frame 20 of the at least one pair of side eave frames 20 is independent of unfolding or folding of the canopy frame 10, so that each side eave frame 20 of the at least one pair of side eave frames 20 can be unfolded or folded regardless of whether the canopy frame 10 is unfolded or folded. Additionally, the canopy frame 10 can be unfolded or folded regardless of whether the at least one pair of side eave frames 20 is unfolded or folded, thereby improving convenience and smoothness of unfolding or folding. Secondly, the lower connecting seat 113 is located between the upper connecting seat 111 and the sliding seat 112, so as to increase a height of a lower end of the supporting mechanism 22 and an unfolding angle of the eave rod 21, so that the eave rod 21 can be close to a horizontal position, and an activity space under the at least one pair of side eave frames 20 is large. Thirdly, the structure is simple and cost is low. In a specific structure, when the canopy frame 10 is in the unfolded state, the sliding seat 112 is located at an unfolded position relative to a corresponding one of the four columns 11, and the lower connecting seat 113 is fixedly disposed at a fixed position of the corresponding one of the four columns 11 arranged adjacent to the unfolded position up and down. The convenience of unfolding or folding is further improved, and a space occupied after folding is smaller. Additionally, the lower connecting seat 113 can limit the sliding seat 112 from sliding upward, and a locking mechanism of the sliding seat 112 can be omitted regardless of whether the canopy frame 10 is automatically unfolded or is assisted to be unfolded.


In this embodiment, the supporting mechanism 22 comprises a telescopic tube 221. A first end of the telescopic tube 221 is rotatably connected to the lower connecting seat 113, and a second end of the telescopic tube 221 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the eave rod 21. The at least one pair of side eave frames 20 can be unfolded and folded smoothly and conveniently, and the at least one pair of side eave frames 20 occupies little space after being folded. A first locking mechanism 222 is disposed on the telescopic tube 221. In a specific structure, the telescopic tube 221 comprises an outer tube 2211 and an inner tube 2212. The outer tube 2211 comprises at least one locking hole that penetrates through an inside and an outside of the outer tube 2211. The first locking mechanism 222 comprises an elastic buckle 2221 disposed in the inner tube 2212, and the elastic buckle 2221 has an elastic member 22211 and a positioning column 22212 disposed on the elastic member 22211. The inner tube 2212 comprises a through hole that penetrates through an inside and an outside of the inner tube 2212, and the positioning column 22212 of the elastic buckle 2221 extends out of the through hole due to an elastic force of the elastic member. The outer tube 2211 can be slidably sleeved outside the inner tube 2212, and the positioning column 22212 of the elastic buckle 2221 is inserted into one locking hole of the at least one locking hole. The structure is simple and compact, and locking and unlocking of the elastic buckle 2221 are convenient and fast. Alternatively, the at least one locking hole is a plurality of locking holes, an inclined angle of the eave rod 21 can be adjusted by selecting a specific locking hole of the plurality of locking holes, and a size of a space under the at least one pair of side eave frames 20 can be adjusted. In the specific structure, the upper connecting seat 111 comprises a first protruding platform 1111, and the first protruding platform 1111 comprises a first pivoting groove with an opening facing downward and outward. The eave rod 21 is located in the first pivoting groove, and a first pivot passes through the first protruding platform 1111 and the eave rod 21 to be rotatably connected to the eave rod 21, which defines a maximum unfolded angle limit for the eave rod 21. The lower connecting seat 113 comprises a second protruding platform 1131, and the second protruding platform 1131 comprises a second pivoting groove with an opening facing upward and outward. The telescopic tube 221 is located in the second pivoting groove, and a second pivot passes through the second protruding platform 1131 and the telescopic tube 221 to be rotatably connected to the telescopic tube 221, which defines a maximum unfolded angle limit for the telescopic tube 221.


In this embodiment, the upper connecting seat 111 and the lower connecting seat 113 of each of the four columns 11 are disposed with a first side eave frame 20 and a second side eave frame 20 belonging to adjacent two pairs of the at least one pair of side eave frames 20, and a 90 degrees included angle is formed between the first side eave frame 20 and the second side eave frame 20. Each of the first side eave frame 20 and the second side eave frame 20 is perpendicular to one of the folding frames 12 and is in a same direction as another one of the folding frames 12. Therefore, sides of the canopy frame 10 and the at least one pair of side eave frames 20 are in a one-to-one correspondence (i.e., four sides of the canopy frame 10 correspond to four pairs of side eave frames 20), and each side of the canopy frame 10 can have an expanded side eave. A canopy fabric 30 covers the foldable canopy frame, and a specific structure diagram is shown in FIG. 7. In this embodiment, the supporting mechanism 22 of the first side eave frame 20 and the supporting mechanism 22 of the second side eave frame 20 on one of the four columns 11 are connected to the lower connecting seat 113 of the one of the four columns 11. If necessary, each of the four columns 11 can be fixedly disposed with a same number of lower connecting seats 113 as the side eave frames 20 (e.g., the first side eave frame 20 and the second side eave frame 20), and the supporting mechanism 22 of each of the side eave frames 20 is connected to a corresponding one of the lower connecting seats 113.


Embodiment 2

Referring to FIGS. 8 to 11, Embodiment 2 is different from Embodiment 1 in that the supporting mechanism 22 comprises a connecting rod 223. A first end of the connecting rod 223 is rotatably connected to the lower connecting seat 113, and a second end of the connecting rod 223 is rotatably connected to a second sliding seat 224. The second sliding seat 224 is slidably connected to the eave rod 21, which is easy to operate and takes up little space when folded, and a second locking mechanism 225 is disposed between the second sliding seat 224 and the eave rod 21.


The second sliding seat 224 comprises a sliding groove 2241, and the eave rod 21 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 2241. A third pivot is connected to the connecting rod 223 and the second sliding seat 224, and the third pivot is such as a screw. The eave rod 21 comprises at least one locking hole that penetrates through an inside and an outside of the eave rod 21. The second sliding seat 224 is recessed with an installation cavity 2242, and a bottom of the installation cavity 2242 comprises a through hole 2243. The second locking mechanism 225 comprises a button 2251, a locking member 2252 that can be slidably connected to the second sliding seat 224, and a second elastic body 2253. A middle part of the button 2251 can be rotatably connected in the installation cavity 2242 of the second sliding seat 224 so that the button 2251 is similar to a seesaw. The second elastic body 2253 and the locking member 2252 are both installed in the installation cavity 2242. The second elastic body 2253 abuts a position of the button 2251 located on a front side of a button rotation axis, and the locking member 2252 is movably connected to a position of the button 2251 located on a rear side of the button rotation axis. The locking member 2252 passes through the through hole and is inserted into one of the at least one locking hole due to an elastic force of the second elastic body 2253. The structure is easy to operate and prevents fingers of a user from being pinched. A movable structure is such that the button 2251 comprises a second sliding groove, and the locking member 2252 comprises a protruding shaft 22521, which is adapted to be connected to the second sliding groove so that the protruding shaft 22521 can rotate and slide relative to the second sliding groove. When the at least one locking hole is a plurality of locking holes, an inclined angle of the eave rod 21 can be adjusted by selecting a specific locking hole of the plurality of locking holes.
