[0002] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of outdoor tents, and particularly, to a reinforced outdoor louvered tent.

[0003] Outdoor tents come in a variety of structural forms, including folding tents that can be folded for storage, and fixed tents that are placed directly in outdoor courtyards or parks. As a type of fixed tent, the louvered tent features a louvered structure on its roof surface.

The fasteners are configured to integrally fix the upright post 100, the upright post embedding seat 310, the ring beam 210 and the ring beam insert 320. Specifically, the fasteners transversely pass through the upright post 100, the upright post embedding seat 310, the ring beam 210 and the ring beam insert 320 to integrally fix them. The fasteners are preferably fastening bolts. The upright post embedding seat 310 and the ring beam insert 320 are used to increase the transverse thickness dimension. The overall mounting stability can be improved in combination with the fasteners.

[0035] Preferably, several first fixing holes 101 are formed in the ring beam fixing wall 103, and four or six first fixing holes 101 are preferred and are arranged at intervals up and down on both sides; several second fixing holes 301 are formed in the upright post embedding seat 310, and four or six second fixing holes 301 are preferred and are arranged at intervals up and down on both sides; several third fixing holes 211 are formed in the ring beam 210, and four or six third fixing holes 211 are preferred and are arranged at intervals up and down on both sides; several fourth fixing holes 302 are formed in the ring beam insert 320, and four or six fourth fixing holes 302 are preferred and are arranged at intervals up and down on both sides; and the first fixing holes 101, the second fixing holes 301, the third fixing holes 211 and the fourth fixing holes 302 are arranged correspondingly and form a fixed fit after being passed through by the fasteners.

[0036] The upright post embedding seat 310 includes a mounting embedding groove 313, embedding walls 311 located on two adjacent sides of the mounting embedding groove 313, and an embedding base 312 located at a lower part.

[0037] Preferably, the bottom of the mounting embedding groove 313 is provided with a drainage cavity groove 314, and filter screen holes are formed in the drainage cavity groove 314, which facilitates correspondence with a drainage ditch 214 in the ring beam 210 for drainage. In the specific structure, a drainage ditch 214 is formed in an inner sidewall of a supporting ring beam 213, and an end of the drainage ditch 214 corresponds to the drainage cavity groove 314.

[0038] In combination with the above, the ring beam 210 includes a supporting ring beam 213 and a mounting ring beam 212. A split ring beam structure design is adopted. The mounting ring beam 212 is located at an upper part of the supporting ring beam 213. The supporting ring beam 213 and the mounting ring beam 212 are mounted in a snap-fit manner. Either the supporting ring beam 213 or the mounting ring beam 212 is provided with a snap groove 216, and the other is correspondingly provided with a snap seat 215.
