BACKGROUND

Telescopic tents are commonly used for outdoor activities, and some of the telescopic tents have an upward rod disposed in the middle position to guide rainwater around the telescopic tent. Currently, when setting up (i.e., opening) a telescopic tent available on the market, one must first pull out legs of the telescopic tent outward, then push up sleeves attached to the legs, so that holes on the sleeves align with pins on top of the legs and secure them in place. Only after all the sleeves on the legs are connected with the pins can the tent be fully set up. When storing the telescopic tent, it is also necessary to loosen the pins and the sleeves on the legs before storage. The entire operation process is very time-consuming and usually requires 2-3 people to complete.

When the positioning shaft is connected to the hole position, the frame body is in an unfolded state.

In an embodiment, the sleeve seat includes a seat body and a pipe sleeve, the pipe sleeve is disposed in a center of the seat body and the pipe sleeve is configured to make the top rod to pass through, a periphery of the seat body defines at least two evenly distributed pipe slots configured to connect the second telescopic component, and the pipe sleeve defines a positioning hole configured to insert the positioning shaft.

In an embodiment, the positioning shaft is provided with a pull ring thereon.

In an embodiment, an exterior of the pipe sleeve is provided with a button, and a middle part of the button is rotatably connected to the pipe sleeve through a pivot. An end of the button is connected to the positioning shaft, and a torsion spring is sleeved on the pivot and supports the pipe sleeve and the button in place.

In an embodiment, two opposite slot walls of each pipe slot define a screw hole and a through hole, respectively.

In an embodiment, a height of the pipe sleeve is in a range of 5 centimeters (cm) to 15 cm.

In an embodiment, a shaft hole in the pipe sleeve is in a rectangular shape.

In an embodiment, the sleeve seat is an injection-molded one-piece structure, and the positioning shaft is made of stainless steel.

Compared to the related art, the beneficial effects of the disclosure are as follows.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

In order to deepen the understanding of the disclosure, the following will further elaborate on the disclosure in conjunction with the embodiments and attached drawings. The embodiments are only used to explain the disclosure and does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the disclosure.

Embodiment 1

As shown in FIGS. 1-2, a foldable tent includes a frame body. The frame body includes multiple legs 100, a top rod 200, a first telescopic component 300, a second telescopic component 400, and a sleeve seat. The multiple legs 100 are connected through the first telescopic component 300, the first telescopic component 300 is connected to the top rod 200 through the second telescopic component 400, the first telescopic component 300 and the second telescopic component 400 are X-shaped hinge rods, which are commonly used structures in the field of tents and belong to the related art. The top rod 200 is rotatably connected to the sleeve seat, the second telescopic component 400 is connected to the sleeve seat. Due to the connections between the multiple legs 100 through the first telescopic component 300, and the connection between the first telescopic component 300 and the top rod 200 through the second telescopic component 400, the sleeve seat is configured to move upwards to make the multiple legs 100 approach the top rod 200, thereby to fold the frame body, the sleeve seat is configured to move downwards to make the multiple legs 100 move outward, thereby to unfold the frame body. The sleeve seat includes a positioning shaft 2, and the top rod 200 defines a hole position cooperating with the positioning shaft 2. When the positioning shaft 2 is connected with the hole position, the frame body is in an unfolded state.

As shown in FIG. 3, the sleeve seat includes a seat body 1, and a pipe sleeve 3, the pipe sleeve 3 is disposed in a center of the seat body 1 and is configured to make the top rod 200 to pass through, a shaft hole 11 in the pipe sleeve 3 is in a rectangular shape. The periphery of the seat body 1 defines at least two evenly distributed pipe slots 4 to connect the second telescopic component 400, and the pipe sleeve 3 defines a positioning hole 10 configured to insert the positioning shaft 2. By inserting the positioning shaft 2, expansion and contraction status of inner and outer pipes of the top rod 200 can be limited. Simply control the positioning shaft 2 to exit the inner wall of the pipe sleeve to unlock the outer and inner pipes and perform the expansion and contraction operation of the inner pipe.

For the convenience of users to operate the positioning shaft 2 more easily, the positioning shaft 2 is provided with a pull ring 5 thereon.

Two opposite slot walls of each pipe slot 4 define a screw hole 8 and a through hole 9, respectively. After passing a bolt through the through hole and connecting the second telescopic component to each pipe slot, the bolt is screwed into the screw hole to connect the second telescopic component to the pipe slot.

A height of the pipe sleeve 3 is in a range of 5 cm to 15 cm. Specifically, the height can be 8 cm, 10 cm, and 13 cm, which can be selected according to actual needs. The pipe sleeve 3 is set to a certain height, which can enhance the tightness of the connection between the pipe sleeve and the top rod of the foldable tent, and also strengthen the load-bearing capacity of the pipe sleeve.

The sleeve seat is an injection-molded one-piece structure, the injection-molded one-piece structure is lightweight and less likely to scratch the top rod it is connected to. It also has a certain toughness, and the production cost is relatively low. the positioning shaft 2 is made of stainless steel, the stainless steel positioning shaft is resistant to rust, has good structural strength, and is not prone to deformation.

Embodiment 2

As shown in FIG. 4, the difference between the embodiment 1 and the embodiment 2 lies in the control method of the positioning shaft. In the embodiment 2, a button 6 is disposed at an exterior of the pipe sleeve 3. A middle part of the button 6 is rotatably connected to the pipe sleeve 3 through a pivot 7. An end of the button 6 is connected to the positioning shaft 2, and a torsion spring is sleeved on the pivot 7 to support (i.e., abut against) the pipe sleeve 3 and the button 6 in place. The torsion spring apply an elastic force to always keep the positioning shaft inserted into the pipe sleeve. Users only need to press the button 6 to allow the positioning shaft 2 to withdraw from the pipe sleeve 3.

The above are only the preferred embodiments of the disclosure, and the scope of protection of the disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments. Any equivalent modifications or changes made by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure shall be included in the scope of protection stated in the claims.
