Embodiment 1

With reference toFIGS.1to32, this embodiment discloses an assembly structure for a tent, including stand columns1and ring beams2. In some embodiments, the stand column1or the ring beam2is correspondingly provided with an assembly slot4for the mounting purpose. In a preferable embodiment, the stand column1and the ring beam2are each provided with the assembly slot4. The stand column1and the ring beam2can be assembled by using a first connection component5to form a tent frame7. The first connection component5includes a first connection component unit configured to be cooperatively mounted with the assembly slot4in the stand column1, a second connection component unit configured to be cooperatively mounted with the assembly slot4in the ring beam2, and a third connection component unit configured to dock the first connection component unit and the second connection component unit. Preferably, the tent frame7includes four stand columns1and four ring beams2mounted between upper parts of adjacent stand columns1. In the other embodiments, the tent frame7may include more stand columns1and the ring beams2correspondingly.

As shown inFIG.3, the assembly slot4includes a slot cavity41and an open slot42penetrating through the slot cavity41. Limiting plates43are disposed at two sides of the open slot42respectively. The limiting plate43is configured to prevent the disengagement of a fastening insert member51. A part of the slot cavity41adjacent to the open slot42is wider than the open slot42. In a specific structure, the slot cavity41is preferably of a dovetail groove structure. The cross-sectional shape of the slot cavity41is similar to an isosceles trapezoid. Corners are set with arc transitions. The long side of the slot cavity41is adjacent to the open slot. The limiting plate43extends. The assembly slot4is disposed on the stand column1or the ring beam2along the length direction, and the head and the tail communicate.

The assembly slots4in different components are marked with different serial numbers in the accompanying drawings, such as the assembly slot4ain the stand column1and the assembly slot4bin the ring beam2. Because the formed structures or matching components are different to some extent, the assembly slots4are in a same slot shape, but can have different specific sizes, especially, the lengths, which can be correspondingly selected according to different components. In some embodiments, the assembly slots4may have a same size. In some other embodiments, the assembly slots4may have different sizes. In addition, because the assembly slots4bare in different surfaces of the ring beam2and need to be correspondingly mounted with different components, the sizes of these assembly slots4may be adjusted separately according to the requirements.

In a preferable solution, with reference toFIG.2, the assembly slots4aare disposed at centers of four sides of the stand column1, such that in a subsequent process of assembling the stand column1, a plurality of sides of the stand column can be extended in a plurality of directions as required.

In a preferable solution, according to a use requirement, corresponding assembly slots4bmay be disposed on the ring beam2. Especially, to reinforce and fix the ring beam2, two parallel assembly slots4bare generally provided on at least one side surface of the ring beam2, such that the ring beams are docked by using the docking fastening insert member61. By using such a double-slot structure, the stability can be reinforced. In addition, the assembly slots4bare further disposed on an upper surface and a lower surface of the ring beam2respectively, and are configured to help the connection and mounting of the expansion unit8or the other reinforcing components, while facilitating cooperatively mounting the component in the canopy3with the ring beam2.

In the present invention, the assembly slot4structures are optimally designed, and are combined on the stand columns1and the ring beams2. In addition, by using different connection components and cooperation relationships with the assembly slots4, the stand columns1and the ring beams2can be combined and mounted quickly, the components of the ring beams2can also be docked and mounted, and different expansion units8can be combined and mounted, to assemble tents with different functions.

Embodiment 2

Based on Embodiment 1, with reference toFIGS.4to16, this embodiment discloses a mounted structure of the stand columns and the ring beams in the tent frame. The structure includes a first connection component5, The first connection component5is configured to fix and mount the stand column1and the ring beam2. The first connection component5includes a plurality of fastening insert members51and assembly members. Because the assembly member has a different function and a plurality of assembly components, the assembly member may include a single component. The quantity of the assembly components may be set according to a different mounting requirement. The fastening insert member51includes a fastening insert part511and a fixing part512. The fastening insert part511is configured to match with the slot cavity41. The fixing part512is configured to match with the open slot42. An outer surface of the fixing part511is provided with a fixed hole513. The fixed hole513is a through hole.

A plurality of fastening insert members51are provided as general components. In a specific mounting process, according to the mounting position and a corresponding requirement of a to-be-mounted assembly member, the length of the fastening insert member51may be adjusted and selected. The fastening insert member51may be drawn into a specified position along the slot cavity41from the opening position of the end face of the stand column1or the ring beam2. Docking is implemented by using assembly members with different functions, such that quick assembling and mounting can be implemented by using the assembly slots4and the other components through the fastening insert members51. In this case, according to a requirement of the mounting position, an alignment hole is provided on the short side of the slot cavity41of the assembly slot4, to locate and fix the position. After the fastening insert part in the fastening insert member51matches with the slot cavity42, it cannot be disengaged from the open slot42. The fixing part512matched with the open slot42is beneficial the matching for other components. Preferably, the fixing part512partially protrudes from the open slot42, and extends outside, or the outer surface of the fixing part512and the outer surface of the open slot42are at a same level. In a specific mounted structure, the fixed hole513is generally a through hole, and therefore is conveniently aligned with the alignment hole in the assembly slot4, such that the tent structure is mounted and fixed by using screws or bolts. Generally, two or more fixed holes513are provided.

A specific mounted structure of the stand columns1and the ring beams2further includes an assembly member, which may include a plurality of components according to different mounting positions and requirements. Specifically, the assembly member includes a ring-beam inner liner52, a first anchor member54, and a second anchor member55. The ring-beam inner liner52is embedded at one end of the ring beam2, until an end face of the ring-beam inner liner52and the end face of the ring beam2are at the same level.
