[0030] The technical solutions of various embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments described in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] The embodiments of the present invention provide a portable folding umbrella that does not require tidying the umbrella fabric when stored, and does not cause the umbrella ribs to flip outward or be unable to open due to the umbrella fabric covering them when unfolded. The unfolding and storage process is convenient and quick.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, a portable folding umbrella of the present invention includes an umbrella handle 2, several umbrella ribs 3, and an umbrella fabric 8. One end of each umbrella rib 3 is slidably connected to the umbrella handle 2. The umbrella handle 2 is a telescopic handle, and the umbrella ribs 3 are telescopic ribs. Several limiting devices are provided on both the umbrella handle 2 and the umbrella ribs 3. In the fully unfolded state, both the umbrella handle 2 and the umbrella ribs 3 are fully extended and fixed by the limiting devices. The umbrella fabric 8 is centrally fixedly installed on the umbrella handle 2, and the outer side of the umbrella fabric 8 is installed on the umbrella ribs 3. The umbrella also includes a support rib 4, a limiting device 5, a movable ring 6, and a fixing ring 14. A sliding connector 9 and a fixing connector 10 are provided on the umbrella handle 2. The fixing connector 10 is placed on... One end of the umbrella handle 2 is rotatably connected to the support rib 4. The support rib 4 is rotatably connected to the limiter 5. The limiter 5 is fitted onto the umbrella rib 3 and can slide on the umbrella rib 3. The support rib 4 is spirally shaped to increase its strength. The sliding connector 9 is fitted onto the umbrella handle 2 and can slide on the umbrella handle 2. The umbrella rib 3 is rotatably connected to the sliding connector 9. A movable piece is provided at the connection between the umbrella rib 3 and the sliding connector 9. One end of the movable piece is rotatably connected to the umbrella rib 3, and the other end is rotatably connected to the sliding connector 9. In the fully closed state, the umbrella rib 3 is perpendicular to the movable piece, the movable piece is perpendicular to the umbrella handle 2, and the support rib 4 is rotatably connected to the limiter 5. The fixed connector 10 has a protruding rotating part with a hole or shaft at the connection point. The rotating part forms a "7" shape with the supporting rib 4. The length of the rotating part is equal to the length of the movable piece. Both the fixed connector 10 and the sliding connector 9 are provided with rotation limiting devices. The supporting rib 4 can rotate 0~90° on the fixed connector 10, and the umbrella rib 3 can rotate 0~90° on the sliding connector 9. A spring 7 is fixedly installed below the fixed connector 10. When the sliding connector 9 slides to its uppermost position on the umbrella handle 2, it contacts the spring 7. An umbrella cap 11 is provided above the fixed connector 10 for reinforcement. The umbrella fabric 8 is fixed and the supporting rib 4 is restricted from continuing to rotate upward in the fully unfolded state. The sliding connector 9 is provided with a switch 12, which is used to fix the sliding connector 9 and the umbrella handle 2. The umbrella handle 2 is provided with a grip 1 on the lower side. The grip 1 has an opening on one side to form a container. In the fully closed state, the sliding connector 9 is placed in the grip 1. The umbrella fabric 8 is provided with a plurality of movable rings 6 and a plurality of fixed rings 14. The movable rings 6 are sleeved on the umbrella rib 3. The umbrella rib 3 is provided with raindrop heads 13 on the outside. The raindrop heads 13 are connected to some of the fixed rings 14, and the other part of the fixed rings 14 are connected to the supporting rib 4.

[0033] The working principle of this invention is:

[0034] When unfolded, pulling down the grip 1 stretches the umbrella handle 2. The sliding connector 9, fixed to the handle 2 by the switch 12, also moves downwards along with the grip 1. At this time, the limiter 5 moves upwards, pushing the movable ring 6 against the raindrop head 13. The limiter 5 continues to move upwards, pushing the raindrop head 13 upwards. The umbrella ribs 3 are then stretched. After stretching, they are fixed by the limiting device. Pressing the switch 12 pushes the sliding connector 9 upwards. The umbrella ribs 3 connected to the sliding connector 9 are then... During the upward movement of the umbrella rib 9, the supporting rib 4 also rotates, the limiter 5 slides back, and the umbrella rib 3 begins to unfold. During this process, the movable ring 6 also moves back, causing the umbrella fabric 8 to unfold. When the sliding connector 9 slides to the top of the umbrella handle 2, it contacts the spring 7. The spring 7 provides cushioning for the sliding connector 9. At this time, the umbrella rib 3 is fully unfolded and the umbrella fabric 8 is fully unfolded, ready for use. When in use, if there is a strong wind, the spring 7 will provide a certain supporting force to the sliding connector 9 and the umbrella rib 3, thereby achieving the effect of wind protection.

[0035] When folding up, pull the sliding connector 9 back to the bottom. During this process, the umbrella ribs 3 and the support ribs 4 will retract and converge. The umbrella fabric 8 will automatically fold up within the triangular area formed by the umbrella ribs 3 and the support ribs 4. When the sliding connector 9 is pulled to the bottom, use the switch 12 to fix the sliding connector 9 and bring the umbrella ribs 3 towards the umbrella handle 2. Because the umbrella ribs 3 are connected to the movable piece, they can be folded up to the same straight line position as the support ribs 4. At this time, the umbrella ribs 3 are perpendicular to the movable piece, and the movable piece is perpendicular to the umbrella handle 2. The umbrella fabric 8 is folded up between the umbrella ribs 3 and the support ribs 4 without any further tidying. Then compress the umbrella handle 2 and the umbrella ribs 3 to their shortest length to complete the folding up.

[0036] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims, not by the foregoing description, and thus all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0037] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
