DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In order to provide a clearer description of the technical content of the present invention, the following will be further described in conjunction with specific embodiments.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 9, specific embodiment of the hand pushed tent of the present invention is provided, which can achieve single person hand opening of the tent. The hand pushed tent comprises a plurality of long bone 4, a plurality of short bone 5, a handle 9, and a central lock. The central lock has a central pole 2, an upper nest 1, and a lower nest 3. The upper nest 1 is equipped with a canopy cap, and the lower part of the lower nest 3 is equipped with a handle 9. The upper nest 1 is hinged to the end of the long bone 4, and the middle part of the long bone 4 is hinged to the lower nest 3 through the short bone 5. A canopy is provided on the long bone 4, and the end of the long bone 4 is connected to a support column, so as to form a complete hand pushed tent.

As shown in FIG. 2, according to the hand pushed tent of the present invention, the upper end of the central pole 2 is connected to the upper nest 1, and the lower end of the central pole 2 is connected to the lower nest 3. The central pole 2 is a telescoping rod, and a locking structure is provided between the central pole 2 and the lower nest 3. The central pole 2 has a retracted state (as shown in FIGS. 6 to 9) and an extended state (the central poles shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 are not fully extended). The retracted state of the central pole 2 corresponds to the opening state of the hand pushed tent, and the locking structure is used to locate the opening state of the hand pushed tent, that is, to position and maintain the hand pushed tent in the open state after the hand pushed tent is opened; the extended state of the central pole 2 corresponds to the folded state of the hand pushed tent.

The lower end of the central pole 2 of the present invention is connected to the lower nest 3, and this connection type is different from the existing disconnection type, and the central pole 2 is provided to be telescoping. The central pole 2 can be transformed between the retracted and extended states by pushing the lower nest 3 to drive the central pole 2 to retract upwards or extend downwards.

As a result, handle 9 and lower nest 3 are connected to upper nest 1 and canopy cap through central pole 2, always maintaining a straight line. During the opening process of the tent, no matter which direction the user push handle 9 and lower nest 3 upwards with force, the tent can be opened normally and positioned more accurately.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the central pole 2 has an upper section 6 and a plurality of telescoping sections 8. The upper end of the upper section 6 is fixed to the upper nest 1, and the plurality of telescoping sections 8 are sequentially sleeved and connected. The upper end of the topmost section among the plurality of telescoping sections 8 is sleeved inside the upper section 6, and the lower end 12 of the bottommost section among the plurality of telescoping sections 8 is fixed to the lower nest 3. The plurality of telescoping sections 8 are retracted within the upper section 6 when the central pole 2 is in a retracted state. That is to say, the upper section 6 of the central pole 2 is the part that does not undergo expansion and contraction, and the remaining parts of the central pole 2 can be fully retracted within the upper section 6 or extended from the upper section 6.

In this embodiment, the contraction method of the central pole 2 is achieved by means of the plurality of telescoping sections 8 retract upwards into the upper section 6. The present invention is not limited to this, for example, it can be transformed by means of the plurality of telescoping sections 8 retract downwards into the upper section 6. Specifically, the lower end of the upper section is fixed to the lower nest, and the lower end of the lowest section among the plurality of telescoping sections is sleeved within the upper section, and the upper end of the topmost section among the plurality of telescoping sections is fixed to the upper nest.

In this embodiment, the central pole 2 has 1 upper section and 6 telescoping sections, and 5 to 8 telescoping sections can also be selected. The central pole 2 preferably uses a fiberglass rod. Fiberglass rods have elasticity, are waterproof and rust proof, and are not easily damaged. Even if damaged, they can be replaced and repaired. The gap between each section of the fiberglass rod can be controlled within a small range to prevent shaking.

As shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, all 6 telescoping sections of the central pole are retracted within the upper section, in a fully retracted state, and the tent is fully opened. At this time, the central pole is like a solid round rod, with high strength, which can provide better support.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 9, the handle 9 has a handle body 21 and a sliding sleeve 20, the lower nest 3 has a central hole, the handle body 21 has a shaft hole 11, and the upper end 10 of the handle body 21 is sleeved and fixed in the central hole, so that the lower end of the central pole 2 passes through the lower nest 3 and fixed in the shaft hole 11 and the sliding sleeve 20 being slidably sleeved outside the lower end of the handle body 21. FIG. 5 shows the situation where sliding sleeve 20 does not slide, while FIG. 9 shows the situation where slide sleeve 20 slides downwards.

The locking structure comprises a positioning ring 7 and a hook 15 with a hook portion.

The positioning ring 7 is provided at the upper portion of the central pole 2, specifically, the positioning ring 7 is provided at a non-retractable portion of the central pole 2, for example, at the upper section 6 of the central pole 2. For ease of operation, the positioning ring 7 is preferentially mounted on the lower half of the upper section 6 of the central pole 2 to facilitate engagement with the hook located below.

The hook 15 is rotatably mounted at the lower end of the handle body 21, and is located inside the sliding sleeve 20, as shown in FIG. 7. When the central pole 2 is in a retracted state, the hook portion of the hook 15 is engaged with the positioning ring 7 to locate the open state of the hand pushed tent; When the central rod is in an extended state, the hook portion of the hook 15 disengages with the positioning ring 7; the hook portion of the hook 15 is disengaged with the positioning ring 7 by means of pulling down the sliding sleeve 20 to rotate the hook 15, and FIG. 9 shows the disengagement state.

Specifically, when opening the tent, push the handle 9 and the lower nest 3 upwards, and the lower end of the central pole 2 receives an upward thrust, causing the central pole to continuously retracting upwards. At the same time, the short bone 5 and long bone 4 also open outward until the hook 15 inside the handle is engaged with the positioning ring 7 of the upper section 6 of the central pole to achieve positioning. At this time, the long bone 4 form a negative angle with the short bone 5, generating a reverse force, which can also position the canopy frame and achieve double safety with the bite positioning, that is, both positioning are effective simultaneously, play a dual insurance role to prevent unexpected situations where the reverse fails.

When folding the tent, simply pull down the sliding sleeve 20 of handle 9, and then the hook portion of hook 15 will detach outward. At this time, hook 15 will detach from the positioning ring 7, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, which show the relative sliding of sliding sleeve 20 and the unhooking state of the hook portion. Continue to pull down handle 9 and lower nest 3, and the central pole 2 will be continuously extended until the canopy is completely folded, thus achieving retraction.

For the specific method of pulling down the sliding sleeve 20 to rotate the hook 15, the present invention provides: a protrusion 19 is provided on the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 20, the hook 15 has a driving portion 16 and a connecting portion, the hook portion and the driving portion 16 are connected by the connecting portion, the connecting portion is rotatably mounted at the lower end of the handle body 21 through the rotating shaft 14, and the protrusion 19 is in contact with the driving portion 16 of the hook 15. The protrusion 19 will press the driving portion 16 of the hook 15 by means of pulling down the sliding sleeve 20, thereby driving the hook portion of the hook 15 to rotate around the rotating shaft 14, achieving the engagement between the hook portion of the hook 15 and the positioning ring 7 to change to disengagement.

Based on the above setting, when folding the tent, just pull downwards the sliding sleeve of the handle, the protrusion 19 inside the sliding sleeve applies a force inward to the driving portion of the hook, and the hook portion of the hook will detach outward with the rotating shaft as the lever rotation point. At this time, the hook will detach from the positioning ring 7, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, which show the relative sliding of the sliding sleeve and the unhooking state of the hook portion. Continue to pull the handle and the lower nest downwards, and the central pole will be continuously extended until the tent is completely folded, thus achieving folding of the tent.

Therefore, in terms of operation, a single person can quickly fold and open the tent by means of simply pulling down or pushing up the handle.

The locking structure comprises an elastic member 13, wherein one end of the elastic member 13 is connected to the hook portion of the hook 15, and the other end of the elastic member 13 is connected to the handle body 21 for automatic resetting of the hook 15, so that it is convenient for maintaining the biting position of the hook and the positioning ring. Elastic element 13 can be a spring.

As shown in FIG. 3, the positioning ring 7 has a conical lower portion 18, as shown in FIG. 5, the hook portion has an inclined top surface 22 matched with the conical lower portion 18 of the positioning ring. Through this setting, the lower nest and handle retract upwards to the central pole, the hook portion engages with the top of the positioning ring after the inclined top surface of the hook portion passes through the conical lower portion of the positioning ring.

As shown in FIGS. 5, 7, and 9, the driving portion of the hook 15 is deflected towards the protrusion 17, that is, the driving portion is deflected outward. The protrusion 19 has an inclined lower surface 17 provided space for the deflection of the driving portion of the hook 15. The sliding sleeve does not interfere with the hook.

The hand pushed tent of the present invention has a central pole composed of a plurality of telescoping fiberglass rods, and the lower nest and handle are connected to the upper nest and the canopy cap through the telescoping rod, always maintaining a straight line. During the opening process of the tent, no matter which direction the handle is forcefully pushed upwards, the tent can be opened normally and positioned more accurately.

In this specification, the present invention has been described with reference to its specific embodiments. However, it is evident that various modifications and transformations can still be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the specification and figures should be considered explanatory rather than restrictive.
