Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of umbrellas, and more particularly to a multifunctional umbrella head assembly and an umbrella. Background Technology

[0002] On rainy days, when people bring used umbrellas into indoor places such as shopping malls or offices, the umbrellas are inconvenient to store, and the rainwater dripping from the umbrellas can easily wet the floor, making the ground slippery and causing people to slip and fall. The length and shape of the existing umbrella head make it difficult to hold. Moreover, during the holding process, users can easily touch the bottom telescopic switch of the umbrella stick, causing the stick to slide downwards and pinch the user's hand, which is especially a safety hazard for children.

[0003] The aforementioned problems prompted us to make improvements and inventions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a multifunctional umbrella head assembly and umbrella.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is: a multifunctional umbrella head assembly, comprising an umbrella head shell for accommodating at least a portion of the umbrella canopy and providing a grip, and a central rod connected to the umbrella head shell.

[0006] The umbrella head shell is provided with a locking component, the central rod passes through the locking component and extends into the umbrella head shell at its bottom end. The locking component can lock and release the central rod, thereby controlling the extension and retraction of the central rod within the umbrella head shell.

[0007] Preferably, the locking assembly includes a sliding inner sleeve disposed within the umbrella head shell, an unfastening inner sleeve disposed within the sliding inner sleeve, and a locking device disposed below the unfastening inner sleeve. The sliding inner sleeve can slide vertically within the umbrella head shell, and a limiting block is provided on the inner wall of the umbrella head shell. The limiting block is located above the sliding inner sleeve and can restrict the sliding of the sliding inner sleeve. A limiting protrusion is provided on the inner wall of the sliding inner sleeve. The limiting protrusion is located above the unfastening inner sleeve and can restrict the sliding of the unfastening inner sleeve. The locking device is located at the bottom of the sliding inner sleeve and locks the sliding inner sleeve to the umbrella head shell. The central rod passes through the unfastening inner sleeve and its bottom end is connected to the sliding inner sleeve. The unfastening inner sleeve can unfasten the locking device, thereby controlling the extension and retraction of the central rod.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom end of the inner sleeve is provided with an unfastening boss. The bottom of the sliding inner sleeve is provided with a boss hole through which the unfastening boss can pass and a mounting groove communicating with the boss hole. The mounting groove is communicating with the inside of the umbrella head. The buckling device is located in the mounting groove and includes a telescopic spring and a ball block. The side wall of the umbrella head shell is provided with a ball hole that matches the ball block. One end of the ball block can be inserted into the ball hole, and the other end is in contact with the telescopic spring. The bottom of the unfastening boss is an inclined surface, and the ball block is provided with an inclined boss that matches the unfastening boss.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom end of the inner sleeve is symmetrically provided with two unfastening protrusions, and the bottom of the sliding inner sleeve is provided with two protrusion holes through which the unfastening protrusions can pass and two mounting grooves communicating with the protrusion holes. Each mounting groove is equipped with a buckling device.

[0010] Preferably, the release boss includes two symmetrically arranged release inclined portions, and the ball block includes a release rod and two inclined bosses arranged on both sides of the release rod and adapted to the release inclined portions.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] This invention provides a multifunctional umbrella head assembly and an umbrella, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the umbrella includes a tail assembly 5, an umbrella canopy 1, a central rod 2, and an umbrella head shell 3 connected in sequence to accommodate at least a portion of the umbrella canopy 1 and provide a grip. The cross-sectional shape of the umbrella head shell 3 is any one of elliptical, triangular, hexagonal, circular, etc. (to achieve anti-slip and prevent rolling on a table). The umbrella head shell 3 accommodates part or all of the umbrella canopy 1. Preferably, in this embodiment, the umbrella head shell 3 can accommodate the entire umbrella canopy 1 after it is closed, resulting in better anti-drip effect. The umbrella head shell 3 is telescopic or can be telescopically extended using external components to flexibly adjust the amount of umbrella canopy 1 accommodated. The umbrella head shell 3 is provided with a locking assembly 4, and the central rod 2 passes through the locking assembly 4, with its bottom end extending into the umbrella head shell 3. The locking assembly 4 can lock and release the central rod 2, thereby controlling the telescopic movement of the central rod 2 within the umbrella head shell 3. Figure 11 As shown, the umbrella tail assembly 54 includes an umbrella tail cover 51 and a pull ring 52 disposed on the umbrella tail cover 51, which facilitates the opening of the umbrella canopy 1. The locking assembly 4 includes a sliding inner sleeve 41 disposed inside the umbrella head shell 3, an unfastening inner sleeve 42 disposed inside the sliding inner sleeve 41, and a locking device 43 disposed below the unfastening inner sleeve 42. The sliding inner sleeve 41 can slide vertically inside the umbrella head shell 3, and a limiting block 6 is provided on the inner wall of the umbrella head shell 3. The limiting block 6 is located above the sliding inner sleeve 41 and can restrict the sliding of the sliding inner sleeve 41. The structure and shape of the limiting block 6 can be various. As a preferred embodiment, such as... Figure 10As shown, the limiting block 6 in this embodiment is trumpet-shaped and detachably connected to the umbrella head shell 3, which facilitates the umbrella surface 1 entering the umbrella head shell 3 without friction or jamming with the side wall of the umbrella head shell 3. At the same time, the bottom plays the role of restricting the sliding inner sleeve 41. The inner wall of the sliding inner sleeve 41 is provided with a limiting protrusion 7. The limiting protrusion 7 is located above the unfastening inner sleeve 42 and can restrict the sliding of the unfastening inner sleeve 42. The buckling device 43 is located at the bottom of the sliding inner sleeve 41 and buckles and locks the sliding inner sleeve 41 and the umbrella head shell 3. The central rod 2 passes through the unfastening inner sleeve 42 and its bottom end is connected to the sliding inner sleeve 41. The unfastening inner sleeve 42 can unfasten the buckling device 43, thereby controlling the extension and retraction of the central rod 2.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figures 6-8 As shown, the bottom end of the inner sleeve 42 has an unfastening boss 8. The bottom of the sliding inner sleeve 41 has a boss hole 9 through which the unfastening boss 8 can pass and a mounting groove 10 communicating with the boss hole 9. The mounting groove 10 communicates with the inside of the umbrella head. The buckling device 43 is located in the mounting groove 10 and includes a telescopic spring 431 and a ball bearing block 432. The side wall of the umbrella head outer shell 3 has a ball bearing hole 11 that matches the ball bearing block 432. One end of the ball bearing hole 11 can be locked. The ball is inserted into the ball hole 11, and the other end contacts the telescopic spring 431. The bottom of the release boss 8 is an inclined surface, and the ball block 432 is provided with an inclined boss that matches the release boss 8. When the umbrella 1 is closed, the umbrella ball of the umbrella 1 touches the release inner sleeve 42, and the release boss 8 moves downward, so that the ball block 432 overcomes the elastic force of the telescopic spring 431 and moves inward in the mounting groove 10 until the outer end of the ball block 432 disengages from the ball hole 11. Figures 4-5 As shown, the central rod 2 and the umbrella canopy 1 can be smoothly extended and retracted into the umbrella head shell 3, which can realize the quick closing of the umbrella. Moreover, when closed into the umbrella head shell 3, it prevents rainwater dripping from the umbrella from wetting the floor and causing the ground to become slippery.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figures 6-9 As shown, the bottom end of the inner sleeve 42 is symmetrically provided with two unfastening protrusions 8. The bottom of the sliding inner sleeve 41 is provided with two protrusion holes 9 through which the unfastening protrusions 8 can pass, and two mounting grooves 10 communicating with the protrusion holes 9. Each mounting groove 10 is equipped with a buckling device 43. By having the symmetrical unfastening protrusions 8 on both sides act on the ball bearings 432 on both sides, the middle rod 2 can move more smoothly during the extension and retraction process. The number of unfastening protrusions 8 is not limited to two. In order to improve the overall stability of movement, multiple protrusions can also be arranged in a ring, as long as space and cost allow.

[0036] Furthermore, the unhooking boss 8 includes two symmetrically arranged unhooking inclined portions 81 (the structure of the two symmetrical unhooking inclined portions 81 is not explicitly shown in the figure), such as... Figure 8As shown, the ball block 432 includes a release lever 4321 and two inclined bosses arranged on both sides of the release lever 4321 and adapted to the release inclined part 81. The stability is higher by the two release inclined parts 81 acting on the corresponding inclined bosses at the same time.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 As shown, the bottom of the umbrella head shell 3 is provided with a water outlet hole 12 and a hole plug 13 that matches the water outlet hole 12; opening the hole plug 13 can clean the rainwater inside the umbrella head shell 3 from the bottom, making it easy to clean the inside of the umbrella head shell 3; it can also be set as a detachable sealed bottom cover, making cleaning more convenient.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 As shown, the outer side of the sliding inner sleeve 41 is symmetrically provided with sliding blocks 14, and the inner wall of the umbrella head shell 3 is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves 15 that are adapted to the sliding blocks 14; by sliding the sliding blocks 14 in the sliding grooves 15, the relative rotation between the sliding inner sleeve 41 and the umbrella head shell 3 during the movement can be restricted.

[0039] Closing Principle: When the umbrella canopy 1 is closed, the umbrella beads of the umbrella canopy 1 contact the inner buckle sleeve 42, the buckle protrusion 8 moves downward, and the buckle inclined part 81 contacts the shoe upper protrusion 4322. This causes the ball block 432 to overcome the elastic force of the telescopic spring 431 and move inward in the mounting groove 10 until the outer end of the ball block 432 disengages from the ball hole 11. The central rod 2 and the umbrella canopy 1 can then be smoothly extended and retracted into the umbrella head shell 3, enabling the umbrella to close quickly. Moreover, closing the umbrella into the umbrella head shell 3 prevents rainwater dripping from the umbrella from wetting the floor and causing the ground to become slippery. The inner buckle sleeve 42 needs to be activated for the central rod 2 to be smoothly closed into the umbrella head shell 3. The inner sleeve 42 is located inside the umbrella head shell 3, which prevents accidental activation of the bottom telescopic switch of the umbrella stick 2 and avoids pinching the user's hand. It also makes the user's grip on the umbrella head shell 3 more comfortable and provides a better experience. The bottom of the umbrella head shell 3 is provided with a water outlet 12 and a hole plug 13 that matches the water outlet 12. Opening the hole plug 13 can clean the rainwater inside the umbrella head shell 3 from the bottom, which is convenient for cleaning the inside of the umbrella head shell 3. The limiting block 6 is detachably connected to the umbrella head shell 3 and the limiting block 6 is flared, which makes it easy for the umbrella surface 1 to enter the umbrella head shell 3 without friction or jamming with the side wall of the umbrella head shell 3.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the claims of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
