Referring to
Through above arrangements, the first connecting rods 30 and the second connecting rods 40 make the supporting rods 10 more stable, prevents the supporting rods 10 from shifting so as to ensure stability of the support bracket. The middle rod 50 connects the first connecting rods 30 and the second connecting rod 40, which further ensures connection stability of the first connecting rods 30 and the second connecting rods 40 and improves stability of the support bracket. Moreover, both ends of the middle rods 50 are hinged to the first connecting rods 30 and the second connecting rods 40 respectively, and the first connecting rods and the second connecting rods are hinged to corresponding supporting rods 10 respectively, which allow users to fold or unfold the support bracket, thus effectively improving portability of the support bracket, reducing a size of the support bracket and effectively improving user's use experience. When in use, the middle rod 50 can move downward along an axial direction until all the first connecting rods 30 are in the same plane. At this time, the support bracket is in a first state—unfolded state, and a campfire assembly can be positioned on a top of the support bracket. When users want to put the support bracket away, the middle rod 50 can move upward along the axial direction until the support rods 10 are close to the middle rod 50, at this time, the support bracket is in a second state—fold state.
In at least one embodiment, one end of each first connecting rod 30 is hinged at a middle part of corresponding supporting rod 10, and one end of each second connecting rod 40 is hinged at a lower part of corresponding supporting rod 10. Through such arrangements, each first connecting rod 30 and each second connecting rod 40 are hinged to the middle part and the lower part of corresponding supporting rod 10 respectively, which ensure the middle part and the lower part of the supporting rods more stable while space surrounded by upper parts of the supporting rods 10 is larger enough to support the campfire assembly. In addition, a center of gravity of the support bracket is lower, which further improves the stability of the support bracket. That is, such arrangements not only help the campfire assembly to accommodate more fuel to improve continuous combustion time of campfire, but also lower the center of gravity of the support bracket to ensure stability of the support bracket. It can greatly reduce risks due to dumping of the campfire assembly, thus ensuring user's safety.
Referring to
Through above arrangements, the first connecting rods 30 and the second connecting rods 40 make the supporting rods 10 more stable, prevents the supporting rods 10 from shifting so as to ensure stability of the support bracket. Upper parts of the supporting rods 10 can stably support the campfire assembly 20 for campfire. The middle rod 50 connects the first connecting rods 30 and the second connecting rod 40, which further ensures connection stability of the first connecting rods 30 and the second connecting rods 40 and improves stability of the support bracket. Moreover, both ends of the middle rods 50 are hinged to the first connecting rods 30 and the second connecting rods 40 respectively, and the first connecting rods and the second connecting rods are hinged to corresponding supporting rods 10 respectively, which allow users to fold or unfold the support bracket, thus effectively improving portability of the support bracket, reducing a size of the support bracket and effectively improving user's use experience. When in use, the middle rod 50 can move downward along an axial direction until all the first connecting rods 30 are in the same plane perpendicular to the axial direction. At this time, the support bracket is in a first state—unfold state, and a campfire assembly can be positioned on a top of the support bracket. When users want to put the support bracket away, the middle rod 50 can move upward along the axial direction until the support rods 10 are close to the middle rod 50, at this time, the support bracket is in a second state—fold state.
In at least one embodiment, the campfire assembly 20 includes at least three surrounding boards 21. The upper part of each supporting rod 10 defines two slots 11, two opposite ends of each surrounding boards 21 are configured to be engaged in one of the two slots 11 of two adjacent supporting rods 10 respectively. In this way, the at least three surrounding boards 21 together with the at least three supporting rods 10 define an accommodating space 60 configured to accommodate fuel. Through such arrangements, the surrounding boards 21 can be easily inserted into the slots 11 to achieve a detachable connection between the surrounding boards 21 and the supporting rods 10. Charcoal is accommodated in the accommodating space 60 surrounded by the surrounding boards 21, which is convenient for users to heat or barbecue. In addition, the detachable connection is convenient for storage, which greatly improves portability of the support bracket. When in use, two opposite ends of each surrounding board are engaged in the slots 11, which limits a distance between two adjacent supporting rods 10, thus making the upper part of the supporting rods stable and greatly improving stability of the support bracket. It is safer for campfire and improves user's experience.
In at least one embodiment, referring to
In at least one embodiment, the campfire assembly 20 further includes a second supporting net 23 arranged in the accommodating space 60. The second supporting net 23 is detachably supported on the first supporting net 22. Through such arrangement, the second supporting net 23 is arranged on the first supporting net 22 to provide further support for the fuel such as charcoal. Both the first supporting net 22 and the second supporting net 23 have a plurality of apertures arranged at interval. In addition, a size of the aperture of the second supporting net 23 is less than that of the first supporting net 22, so that the second supporting net 23 can support fuels with smaller sizes. Therefore, it can improve adaptability of the support bracket and improve user's experience. Users can select whether to mount the second supporting net 23 or not according to sizes of fuel. Therefore, users can select many kinds of fuels for campfire, which further improve user's experience.
In at least one embodiment, referring to
In at least one embodiment, the outdoor campfire barbecue device further includes end caps 13. Each supporting rod 10 defines an opening 14 at a top thereof. Each end cap 13 is configured to be mounted at the opening 14. Through such arrangement, the end caps 13 can effectively improve stability of the supporting rods 10 to improve stability of the support bracket, and make the support bracket more beautiful.
In at least one embodiment, the outdoor campfire barbecue device further includes a barbecue piece 70. Two opposite ends of the barbecue piece 70 can be supported on the surrounding boards 21. When in use, the barbecue piece 70 is placed on the surrounding boards 21 to support foods to be cooked thereon. The barbecue piece 70 can be any one of barbecue nets, barbecue disks, grills or skewers. The barbecue piece 70 is supported on the surrounding boards 21, which allow users to enjoy warmth or atmosphere, and to barbecue or to cook foods. It effectively meets demands of campfire and barbecue.
In at least one embodiment, the first supporting net 22, the second supporting net 23 and the dust net 24 are made of fire-proof materials.
