[0002] As an outdoor leisure appliance, a sunshade is widely used in leisure places such as squares, beaches, parks and courtyards, providing a comfortable cooling space for people. The existing sunshade generally consists of a pole, a skeleton and a canopy. The skeleton is connected to the top of the pole, and the pole mainly supports the skeleton. The canopy is connected to the skeleton and is stretched open as the skeleton is opened, thus opening the sunshade. Sunshades require different shading areas in different usage scenarios. Large outdoor sunshades are usually large and tall, and are generally opened and closed by means of hand-pushing, pulling ropes, crank handles, etc.

[0003] There are various styles of the existing crank handle combinations for sunshades, but most of them are two plastic housings connected by screws. This not only exposes the screw mounting holes, but also cannot replace the housings of other styles in the same state. In addition, most of the existing crank handles of sunshades are made of metal or ordinary plastic, greatly affecting the customer experience.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a new crank handle housing combination, which is not only beautiful in appearance, but also can replace various types of housings, and at the same time, the feel of the crank handle is comfortable, improving the product quality and customer experience.
