The disclosure pertains to the field of outdoor supplies, and specifically pertains to a foldable tent framework and a tent.
Tents are equipment used by people for outdoor camping, and are divided into various forms, such as frame type, inflatable type, and the like, according to their structures. A frame tent can be made into a small tent for 1-3 persons to sleep, or a large tent for 10-20 persons to rest, and the frame tent generally has a foldable function, that is, after being unfolded, the frame can be covered with a tent fabric to form a tent.
For a foldable frame tent, the tent fabric is supported at the perimeter of its top surface, which leads to the accumulation of rainwater, being detrimental to the aesthetics and practicality of the tent. Moreover, the frame is not very stable and prone to shaking. In the prior art, a tent framework supported by a single spoke on the top surface is available, which has a relatively better effect but fails to solve the above problems fundamentally, only the water accumulation in a large scale is shrunk.
Therefore, it is necessary to develop a foldable tent framework featuring stable structure, capable of avoiding water accumulation and without affecting the folding and unfolding functions thereof.
The disclosure aims to provide a foldable tent framework and a tent which are conducive to drainage to avoid water accumulation and are easy to use.
As a first aspect of the disclosure, a foldable tent framework and a tent are provided, including:
upright poles, side pole assemblies connected between the adjacent upright poles, first hip rafters, and a top connecting member, two ends of each first hip rafter respectively connected to one upright pole and the top connecting member, and each second hip rafter including a second upper hip rafter and a second lower hip rafter, where an upper end of each second upper hip rafter is connected to the top connecting member, each second lower hip rafter includes at least two sets of inclined hip rafters arranged in parallel, upper ends of the two sets of inclined hip rafters are articulated with lower ends of the second upper hip rafter, and lower ends of the two sets of inclined hip rafters are respectively connected to articulated points at two sides of the side pole assembly.
The adjacent upright poles are relatively far away from to make the foldable tent framework been in an unfolded state, the adjacent upright poles are relatively close to one another to make the foldable tent framework been in a folded state. When in a folded state, the two sets of inclined hip rafters are relatively rotated along their respective upper ends to close to each other, and lower ends thereof are close to each other with the folding of the side pole assemblies, and two ends of the second lower hip rafter are respectively rotated relative to the second upper hip rafter and the side pole assemblies for folding.
As a second aspect of the disclosure, a foldable tent framework and a tent are provided, including:
a plurality of upright poles, and a plurality of side pole assemblies connected between the adjacent upright poles, and a plurality of first hip rafters, where upper ends of the first hip rafters are articulated with one another, and lower ends thereof are connected with the upright poles; and a plurality of second hip rafters, where the second hip rafters are disposed between the adjacent first hip rafters, upper ends of the second hip rafters are articulated with the upper ends of the first hip rafters, and lower ends of the second hip rafters are connected with the side pole assembly located between the adjacent first hip rafters.
Each second hip rafter includes a second upper hip rafter and a second lower hip rafter, where an upper end of each second upper hip rafter is formed as the upper end of the second hip rafter, the second lower hip rafter includes at least two sets of inclined hip rafters arranged in parallel, upper ends of the two sets of inclined hip rafters are articulated with lower ends of the second upper hip rafter, a first articulated point and a second articulated point are respectively formed on both sides of the side pole assembly, and lower ends of the two sets of inclined hip rafters are respectively connected to the first articulated point and the second articulated point.
The adjacent upright poles are relatively far away from to make the foldable tent framework been in an unfolded state, the adjacent upright poles are relatively close to one another to make the foldable tent framework been in a folded state. When in a folded state, the two sets of inclined hip rafters are relatively rotated along their respective upper ends to close to each other, and lower ends thereof are close to each other with the folding of the side pole assemblies, and two ends of the second lower hip rafter are respectively rotated relative to the second upper hip rafter and the side pole assemblies for folding.
As a third aspect of the disclosure, a tent is provided, including the foldable tent framework according to claim 10 and a tarpaulin covering the foldable tent framework.
The tent framework and the tent made thereby of the disclosure have the following beneficial effects:
1. With folded and unfolded states, the tent framework can be easily switched between a folded state and an unfolded state, and is convenient to operation.
2. Second hip rafters are disposed on the top surface to support the tent fabric, so that it is not easy to accumulate water; moreover, after the second hip rafters are disposed, the folding and unfolding processes of the tent framework are not affected.
3. Shapes of the second hip rafters are adapted to the top surfaces where they are respectively located, so that the supporting effect of the tent fabric at the lower end is better than that at the upper end, and requirements of preventing water accumulation and unfolding stability of the framework can be both satisfied.
4. The arrangement of the connecting hip rafters can improve the matching adaptability between the inclined hip rafters and the second side pole member, which is conducive to the design and manufacture of the product. Moreover, the arrangement of the connecting hip rafters can make the positions of the upper connecting points of the two inclined hip rafters lower, which is conducive to the downward movement of the triangular area formed by the two inclined hip rafters and the second side pole member, further improving the water resistance.
5. The connecting hip rafters may be disposed in a way of protruding from the connecting point of the connecting hip rafters and the two inclined hip rafters, so that the rainwater can flow out more easily, without any accumulation.

Specific structure of the disclosure will be described in detail in conjunction with a plurality of embodiments for a better understanding of the disclosure.
As shown in
In this embodiment, each first hip rafter 13 includes a first upper hip rafter 131 and a first lower hip rafter 132. The upper end of each first upper hip rafter 131 is connected to the upper and lower ends of the top connecting member 30, and is articulated with the upper end of the first lower hip rafter 132, and the lower end of the first lower hip rafter 132 is connected to the upright pole 11, such that when the first hip rafter 13 is in a straight pole state in an unfolded stated, the first upper hip rafters 131 and the first lower hip rafter 132 are folded in half in a folded state. Preferably, the length of the first upper hip rafter 131 is basically equal to that of the first lower hip rafter 132, so that the top connecting member 30 is at the top of the upright poles 11 in the folded state; basically equal length includes a slightly longer of one of them thereof.
In this embodiment, the tent framework is further provided with second hip rafters 20, where each second hip rafter 20 includes a second upper hip rafter 21 located at its upper part and a second lower hip rafter 22 located at its lower part. The upper part and the lower part are in a relative positional relationship, and proportions of their respective lengths are not required to be the same. Further, the second upper hip rafter 21 and the second lower hip rafter 22 can be either a single rafter member, or a combined rafter member formed by a plurality of rafter members in series or in parallel, which is not limited.
As shown in
For this reason, the connecting hip rafter 221 and the inclined hip rafters 222 are connected by a second articulated member 23, the second articulated member 23, on the one hand, is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting hip rafter 221, and on the other hand, is articulated with the upper ends of the two inclined hip rafters 222. Further, each side pole assembly 12 includes a first side pole member 121, a second side pole member 122 and a third side pole member 123 that are articulated in sequence, a first articulated point 124 is formed between the first side pole member 121 and the second side pole member 122, a second articulated point 125 is formed between the second side pole member 122 and the third side pole member 123, and lower ends of the two inclined hip rafters 222 are respectively connected with the first articulated point 124 and the second articulated point 125, and the connection point is formed in a multi-directional or universal connection relationship. The universal connection relationship refers to a connection by using a ball joint mechanism and other universal connection mechanisms, the multi-directional connection relationship refers to mutual articulation between two or more non-parallel articulated shafts, so as to allow relative unfolding or folding between the two inclined hip rafters 222 of the second lower hip rafter 22, and the rotation of the second lower hip rafter 22 relative to the side pole assembly 12 for folding.
In this embodiment, the second upper hip rafter 21 and the connecting hip rafter 221 are disposed around an axis perpendicular to a length direction of them being taken as a rotation axis, that is, an articulated axis of them is parallel to a direction of a connecting line between the two inclined hip rafters 222 in
The first side pole member 121, the second side pole member 122 and the third side pole member 123 are separately composed of X-shaped foldable rafter assemblies, and the number of X-shaped foldable rafter assemblies included by each member can be the same or different. In this embodiment, the first side pole member 121, the second side pole member 122 and the third side pole member 123 each includes an X-shaped foldable rafter assembly, the X-shaped foldable rafter assembly is composed of a first side pole 126 and a second side pole 127 that are articulated with each other therein, ends of the first side pole 126 and the second side pole 127 are articulated with other side pole members, so that the side pole assembly 12 can be unfolded or folded in its length direction.
In other embodiments, when the side pole assembly 12 is composed of an even number of identical X-shaped foldable rafter assemblies, or extendable members may be disposed at the central articulated point of one X-shaped foldable rafter assembly on both the left and right sides of the middle point thereof, so as to make the articulated point located at the upper edge of the side pole assembly 12 in the folded state to facilitate the stability of the folding or unfolding process, and a multi-directional articulated member 24 is articulated with the side pole assembly to realize the purpose of connecting with the second hip rafters 20.
As shown in
As shown in
In such a way, an axis between the lower end of the inclined hip rafter 222 and the multi-directional articulated member 24 in a length direction of the inclined hip rafter 222 or perpendicular to a direction of a first surface of the multi-directional articulated member 24 is taken as the rotation axis thereof (that is, a third axis 103 in
Therefore, when the tent framework is transformed from the unfolded state to the folded state, each second hip rafter 20 has two actions simultaneously: first, the two inclined hip rafters 222 rotate in their respective upper ends to change from a position away from each other to a position close to each other; second, two ends of the second lower hip rafter 22 are separately rotated relative to the second upper hip rafter 21 and the side pole assembly 12 to fold.
A first articulated seat 112 is fixed at the top of each upright pole 11, and a first slidable seat 111 is arranged along the upright pole 11 in a sliding manner. Ends of the X-shaped foldable rafter assemblies are articulated with each other, an outer end of the second side pole 127 is articulated with the first articulated seat 112, and an outer end of the first side pole 126 is articulated with the first slidable seat 111, so as to allow the side pole assembly 12 to switch between the unfolded state and the folded state by sliding the first slidable seat 111 along the upright pole 11.
The first slidable seat 111 is sleeved on the upright pole 11 for sliding along the upright pole. In other embodiments, a slidable groove and a slider can also be separately arranged on the first slidable seat 111 and the upright pole 11 in a relatively sliding manner.
In this embodiment, a top locking mechanism 14 is disposed below the top connecting member 30. The top locking mechanism 14 includes a locking member 141, a locking vertical bar 142 and a locking supporting pole 143. Two ends of the locking vertical bar 142 are respectively articulated with the first upper hip rafter 131 of the first hip rafter 13 and the locking member 141, the locking member 141 is connected to the locking vertical bar 142 to form a locked state of the locking mechanism 14 when a distance relative to the top connecting member 30 is locked, so that the first hip rafter 13 and the second hip rafter 20 are unfolded and locked. When the locking member 141 is disengaged from the locking supporting pole 143 or extends out of from the locking vertical bar 142 to make the locking member extend, so that the unfolded locking between the first hip rafter 13 and the second hip rafter 20 is released.
In some other embodiments, below the top connecting member 30 is not provided with a top locking mechanism 14, but a lower locking mechanism is disposed between the first slidable seat 111 and the upright pole 11 instead. The lower locking mechanism locks the sliding of the first sliding seat 111 along the upright pole 11, so as to achieve the objective of holding the locking in the unfolded state. The lower locking mechanism may be in a variety of forms, such as passing through a pin through a locking pin hole, or snapping into a locking hole by using a pinball, or by fixing onto the upright pole 11 by using a hoop in a snap-fit manner.
In this embodiment, the tent framework further includes a bottom supporting pole 15. Two ends of the bottom supporting pole 15 are respectively articulated with the first slidable seat 111 and the first lower hip rafter 132 of the first hip rafter 13, so that the bottom supporting pole can play a role in supporting the first hip rafter 13 in the unfolded state.
In some embodiments, the second articulated member 23 is configured to protrude from the top slope where it is located in the unfolded state, and the top slope is a surface formed by the adjacent first hip rafters 13, such that the tent in the unfolded state is not easy to accumulate water at the lower end of each top slope.
As shown in
In this embodiment, the second hip rafter 20 is composed of a second upper hip rafter 21 located at the upper part thereof and a second lower hip rafter 22 located at the lower part thereof, the second lower hip rafter 22 consists of two inclined hip rafters 222, and a second articulated member 23 is disposed between the second upper hip rafter 21 and the second lower hip rafter 22. The upper end of the second upper hip rafter 21 is articulated with a top connecting member 30, the lower end thereof is articulated with the second articulated member 23, upper ends of the two inclined hip rafters 222 are separately articulated with a first articulated groove 233, lower ends thereof are separately articulated with a second articulated groove 241 of a multi-directional articulated member 24, and all articulated structures are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated herein.
As shown in
As shown in
It should be noted that where the connecting hip rafter 221 of the second hip rafter 20 needs to be configured depends on the relationship between the length of the second side pole member 122 in the unfolded state and the length of the inclined hip rafter 222. When the length of the second side pole member 122 in the unfolded state is longer, the connecting hip rafter 221 can be configured to make up the insufficient length of the inclined hip rafter 222, so that the two inclined hip rafters 222 and the second side pole member 122 can form a triangular shape in the unfolded state, and the two inclined hip rafters 222 can also be close or parallel to each other in the folded state.
