Background
[0002] With the rapid economic developments and the improved standards of living, people have higher expectations regarding the living quality, The use of tents is becoming more common and frequent in the field of entertainment and pleasure.
[0003] Currently there are various types of tents on the market, which can be categorized into several groups according to their style, size, material and color. Different kinds of tents differ in their applications. However, most of the tents have a fixed ceiling, made of cloth, metal material, solar panels, etc. These can only achieve either sun shading or sun bathing mode, they do not allow the users to adjust the sunlight as they wish in order to enjoy the sunshine and to feel the weather. A ceiling made of cloth will be damaged after a certain period, this affects the tent's appearance and accordingly impairs the ambiance people wish to enjoy outside. Currently, most metal ceilings cannot be opened, and the appearances are not flexible at all, this causes trouble in enjoying the sunshine and is bad for ventilation.

[0050] The invention is further illustrated by the following examples and figures, from which further embodiments and advantages can be drawn. These examples are meant to illustrate the invention but not to limit its scope.
Examples
[0051] In certain embodiments, ring beam one (2), a number of blade fasteners (3) and connecting long strip one (6) form a parallelogram ABCD; see Figure 14. When the turbine shaft device (7) operates, the worm shaft (7a) leads the connecting device two (5) with hole one (5a) on one end as center. Hole two (5b) at the other end performs an arc motion. This leads the leg BC of the parallelogram ABCD to move back and forth through the connecting device one (4), in order to make the blade fastener (3) perform a rotation around the hole one (3c) with a certain degree. This enables the opening and closing function of a number of louver blades (1) that coordinate with blade fasteners (3); see Figure 15 and Figure 16. While the described turbine shaft device (7) cannot operate reversely, the parallelogram ABCD is not able to function as a driving device, and when the turbine shaft device (7) stops to operate, the louver blade (1) stops to rotate accordingly and becomes still.
[0052] In certain embodiments, the driving device can be changed into a power motor device, set up the power motor's motion to lead the parallelogram ABCD's BC leg to perform a certain motion of swinging back and forth, this enables the opening and closing of the louver blade (1) .
[0053] In certain embodiments, at first barb one (1a) of the louver blade (1) and barb one (3a) of the blade fastener (3) are coordinated, then the louver blade (1) or blade fastener (3) are rotated in order to close the gap between barb two (1b) of the louver blade (1) and barb two (3b) of the blade fastener (3).Louver blade (1) and blade fastener (3) are slightly pressed to combine barb two (1b) of the louver blade (1) and barb two (3b) of blade fastener (3). Barb two (3b) of blade fastener (3) possesses a trigger (3e) on its backside. The trigger (3e) is pulled to separate barb two (1b) of the louver blade (1) and barb two (3b) of the blade fastener (3). In this way, the louver blade (1) can be disassembled conveniently; see Figure 17.
[0054] In certain embodiments, when the neighboring two louver blade (1) are closed, the water shield (1d) of back louver blade (1) is placed in the middle of the water groove (1c) of front louver blade (1). This prevents water from flowing inside the tent; water groove (1c) can lead the water to the side into ring beam one (2) and ring beam two (8), then the water flows out of the water groove (2c and 8b) of ring beam one (2) and ring beam two (8), this forms a complete draining system; see Figure 18 and Figure 19.
[0055] In comparison with current technology, this utility model allows solid ceilings to open and close freely. As a result, the users can enjoy the sunshine and sky better than before. It is especially easy to operate, and the louver blades on the top can be installed and disassembled conveniently, this reduces installation time and difficulties. When a certain louver blade is damaged, the user can exchange it easily. This whole product provides a sense of high quality and its appearance is original, simple and beautiful.
