Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of umbrellas, and in particular relates to an inflatable umbrella. Background Art

[0002] Umbrellas are everyday items used for protection from the sun or rain. Their radially shaped frame allows rainwater to pour evenly from all sides. However, from the umbrella holder's perspective, this distribution is not uniform: as they walk forward, their vision also moves forward. A quarter of the rainwater collected by the umbrella's covered area pours out from the front. This curtain of water is several times greater than the rainfall itself. Consequently, calves and trouser legs get wet more quickly, blurring vision. If the umbrella holder is carrying a large backpack, the heavy rain pouring out from behind is likely to land on the backpack. A single, sideways pouring of rainwater seems more ideal. A new umbrella design is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] In addition, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification may be combined in any appropriate manner to form various embodiments. Furthermore, the steps or actions in the method description may be reordered or adjusted in a manner readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and drawings are provided solely for the purpose of clearly describing a particular embodiment and are not intended to be mandatory, unless otherwise specified.

[0034] Please also refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of an inflatable umbrella in an expanded state provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The structural diagram of the inflatable umbrella provided is in the storage state. Figure 3 yes Figure 1The present invention provides a schematic structural diagram of an inflatable umbrella in which the bottom of the umbrella airbag is a pointed star. The embodiment of the present application provides an inflatable umbrella 10, which includes an umbrella handle 100, an umbrella rod 150, a storage box 200, an umbrella airbag 250, and a gas delivery device 350. The umbrella rod 150 is connected to the umbrella handle 100; the storage box 200 is connected to the end of the umbrella rod 150 away from the umbrella handle 100, and the storage box 200 has an expanded state and a stored state; the storage box 200 is used to accommodate the umbrella airbag 250. The side of the umbrella airbag 250 away from the umbrella handle 100 is the cover surface 300 of the inflatable umbrella 10, which is used to provide shade and rain protection. When the gas delivery device 350 inflates the umbrella airbag 250, the inflation of the umbrella airbag 250 causes the storage box 200 to be deployed. The sidewalls of the storage box 200 support and secure the umbrella airbag 250, and the cover surface 300 is used to provide shade and rain protection. When the gas delivery device 350 deflates the umbrella airbag 250, the umbrella airbag 250 is compressed, causing the storage box 200 to be stored, and the umbrella airbag 250 is accommodated within the storage box 200.

[0035] The inflatable umbrella provided in this embodiment has a structure that breaks away from the radial umbrella frame of traditional umbrellas, which is conducive to designing the shape of the umbrella body based on needs, providing a basis for users to economically change the style at any time. On the basis of extending the functions of traditional umbrellas, it subverts the form of traditional umbrellas.

[0036] The umbrella shaft 150 is a retractable umbrella shaft 150 having a hollow interior. The hollow area of ​​the umbrella shaft 150 forms a cavity for the gas delivery device 350. The umbrella handle 100 is intended to be gripped by the umbrella holder and may be a straight or curved structure. This application does not limit the specific shape of the umbrella handle 100.

[0037] Optionally, the gas delivery device 350 is an inflation air pump.

[0038] Optionally, the gas delivery device 350 may be mechanically configured to achieve the inflation function, for example, by using a mechanical structure similar to an air gun to inflate the parachute airbag 250 via the telescopic umbrella pole 150 .

[0039] It is understandable that the parachute airbag 250 can be designed into any shape.

[0040] Optionally, the parachute airbag 250 is fixedly mounted on the umbrella pole 150 and / or the storage box 200 .

[0041] Optionally, the parachute airbag 250 is movably mounted on the umbrella pole 150 and / or the storage box 200 , thereby making it convenient to replace the parachute airbag 250 .

[0042] In some embodiments, the inflatable umbrella is further provided with a compressed air bag and a thimble. The umbrella handle 100 and the umbrella pole 150 are connected by a thread, and the thimble is connected to the compressed air bag so that the thimble can break through the seal of the compressed air bag by any method of rotation, leverage, or impact, thereby releasing the compressed air in the compressed air bag, allowing the umbrella body air bag 250 to be inflated and expanded, so that the storage box is in an unfolded state.

[0043] Furthermore, a replaceable compressed air bag is provided in the umbrella handle 100. The umbrella handle 100 is rotated so that the umbrella handle 100 and the umbrella pole 150 are brought closer to each other to compress the compressed air bag. After the compressed air bag is compressed, expansion gas is generated to inflate the umbrella body bag 250, so that the storage box 200 is in an expanded state.

[0044] Furthermore, in other embodiments, a thimble is provided at the connection between the umbrella handle 100 and the umbrella pole 150. When the umbrella handle 100 is rotated so that the umbrella handle 100 and the umbrella pole 150 are close to each other, the thimble at the bottom of the umbrella handle 100 breaks through the seal of the compressed air bag, releasing the compressed air in the compressed air bag, allowing the umbrella body air bag 250 to be inflated and expanded, so that the storage box 200 is in an unfolded state.

[0045] The number of the umbrella airbags 250 is one or more. When the inflatable umbrella 10 is in the stored state, the umbrella airbags 250 are in a fitted state as a whole. When the gas delivery device 350 is used to inflate the umbrella airbags 250 so that the inflatable umbrella 10 is in the expanded state, the bottom of the umbrella airbags 250 is in the shape of a pointed polygonal star, and the polygonal star has at least three corners. The side walls of the storage box 200 provide support and fixation for the polygonal star.

[0046] The present invention, because the umbrella's covering surface is free from the circular radial skeleton and the traditional "umbrella shape", can for the first time utilize this aerodynamic principle to press the umbrella toward the ground in strong winds, thereby improving the umbrella's wind resistance. The umbrella airbag 250 is a symmetrical structure or an asymmetrical structure. Specifically, the umbrella airbag 250 can be a traditional umbrella shape, or any three-dimensional shape that can provide shade and shelter from rain. The umbrella airbag 250 is configured to utilize the aerodynamic principle of the environment. When there is wind, the cross-sectional design of the umbrella airbag 250 can utilize the airflow power of the environment to press downward toward the bottom surface, thereby improving the wind resistance of the inflatable umbrella 10. The cross-sectional design of the umbrella airbag 250 can cooperate with the aerodynamic principle to press the umbrella airbag 250 downward under strong winds, making it easier to control and prevent it from being blown away. This application does not limit the specific shape of the parachute airbag 250; it may be symmetrical or asymmetrical, nor does it limit the number of parachute airbags 250. When inflated, the parachute airbag 250 forms a three-dimensional structure, which may be a three-dimensional geometric structure or any organic three-dimensional structure (such as an abstract natural animal, plant, or scene). The final shape of the parachute airbag 250 may be formed upon inflation, or it may be formed by folding or bending multiple inflated sections. The multiple inflated sections may be physically brought together / connected / fixed together, including but not limited to snaps, Velcro, and embedded magnets. The parachute airbag 250 utilizes a reversed wing design. When strong winds pass through the parachute airbag 250, the airflow simultaneously passes over both the upper and lower surfaces of the parachute airbag 250, exerting downward pressure on the parachute airbag 250. That is, when strong winds pass through the umbrella airbag 250, the umbrella airbag 250 will exert downward pressure, making the inflatable umbrella 10 less likely to be blown away by the strong winds, thereby improving the inflatable umbrella 10's ability to resist strong winds. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an inflatable umbrella provided by another embodiment of the present application. The cross-sectional shape of the umbrella airbag is similar to that of the fixed wing, so that the umbrella airbag is configured to utilize the principles of ambient airflow dynamics. When wind blows, the umbrella airbag, whose cross-sectional shape is similar to that of the fixed wing, can be pressed downward toward the bottom surface by the ambient airflow dynamics, thereby improving the wind resistance of the inflatable umbrella.

[0047] Furthermore, the shape of the airbag cross section of the parachute airbag 250 is similar to the shape of the cross section of the fixed wing, so that the parachute airbag is configured to utilize the airflow dynamics of the environment. When there is wind, the parachute airbag, whose cross section is similar to the cross section of the fixed wing, can use the airflow dynamics of the environment to press downward toward the bottom surface, thereby improving the wind resistance of the inflatable umbrella. The airbag cross section is the cross section of the coverage surface of the parachute airbag parallel to the forward direction of the parachute airbag; the fixed wing cross section is the cross section of the fixed wing parallel to the forward direction of the fixed wing. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, (a) illustrates the fixed wing, (b) illustrates the aerodynamics of the fixed wing section, and (c) illustrates the parachute airbag 250 using an airbag section with a shape similar to that of the fixed wing section. j1 is the fixed wing, j2 is the fixed wing section, f1 is the airflow on the upper surface of the fixed wing section. Since the tail of the fixed wing section is tilted to achieve upward wind blocking, the wind speed of f1 is reduced and a high pressure area is formed; f2 and f3 are the airflow on the lower surface of the fixed wing section. Since the tail of the fixed wing section is tilted, the lower surface of the fixed wing section is streamlined, resulting in faster wind speeds of f2 and f3 and the formation of a low pressure area. The combined airflow power of f2, f3 and f1 causes the fixed wing to be pressed downward toward the bottom surface.

[0048] It can be understood that the fixed wing described in this application is an airplane wing or a racing car fixed wing that is upside down and inverted.

[0049] Furthermore, the cover surface 300 of the airbag 250 and the pointed, multi-pointed star structure at the bottom of the airbag 250 are both configured with a low-drag, streamlined profile consistent with the airflow dynamics of the airbag cover surface. In other words, not only does the design of the cover surface 300 of the airbag 250 conform to the principles of airflow dynamics, but the multi-pointed star structure beneath the cover surface 300 also conforms to these principles. The combined effect of the cover surface 300 and the pointed, multi-pointed star structure improves the stability of the inflatable umbrella 10, making it less susceptible to being blown away. This subverts the form and extends the functionality of traditional umbrellas.

[0050] The storage box 200 has an expanded state. When the storage box 200 is in the expanded state, the side walls of the several claw-like structures 210 of the storage box 200 are spread apart from each other. The side walls of the multiple claw-like structures 210 fit into the inner recesses of the polygonal star to support and secure the parachute airbag 250. The storage box 200 is connected to the parachute airbag 250. When the gas delivery device 350 inflates the parachute airbag 250, the parachute airbag 250 inflates and bulges, driving the several claw-like structures 210 of the storage box 200 to spread apart from each other. The claw-like structures 210 of the storage box 200 are used to support the parachute airbag 250, which in turn is used to support the cover surface 300. Specifically, the number of claw-like structures 210 in the storage box 200 can be three, four, five, six, or the like. This application does not limit the number of claw-like structures 210 in the storage box 200. Any number of claw-like structures 210 that can stably support the parachute airbag 250 is within the scope of protection of this application. The multi-pointed star includes multiple outer corners (convex openings) and multiple inner corners (concave openings). The sidewalls of the multiple claw-like structures 210 mate with the concave corners (i.e., the inner corners) of the inner concave openings of the multi-pointed star.

[0051] Optionally, the parachute airbag 250 may be integrally formed.

[0052] Alternatively, the parachute airbag 250 may be divided into multiple airbag components, each of which is manufactured independently, and all the manufactured airbag components are assembled to form the parachute airbag 250. For example, the parachute airbag 250 may be divided into the cover surface 300 and the bottom of the parachute airbag 250, which are manufactured separately. The cover surface 300 and the bottom of the parachute airbag 250 are then assembled. For another example, each outer corner of the polygonal star structure of the cover surface 300 and the bottom of the parachute airbag 250 may be manufactured independently.

[0053] In some embodiments, the sidewalls of the plurality of claw-like structures 210 grip and secure the inner notches of the polygonal star, so that the central axis of the umbrella airbag 250 remains collinear with the central axis of the umbrella pole 150. This helps to improve the stability of the inflatable umbrella 10.

[0054] In some embodiments, when the gas delivery device 350 is used to inflate the umbrella airbag 250, the polygonal star structure and the cover surface 300 of the umbrella airbag 250 are inflated together to form the outline shape of the inflatable umbrella 10; when the gas delivery device 350 is used to deflat the umbrella airbag 250, the polygonal star structure and the cover surface 300 of the umbrella airbag 250 are compressed together, so that both can be accommodated inside the storage box 200 at the same time, which is convenient for storage and carrying.

[0055] In addition, it should be noted that the shape of the covering surface 300 can be circular, square, dome-shaped, arc-shaped, flying saucer-shaped, or other symmetrical or asymmetrical structures. This application does not limit the specific shape of the covering surface 300. Any shape of the covering surface 300 is included in the scope of protection of this application.

[0056] The inflatable umbrella 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes an umbrella handle 100, an umbrella pole 150, a storage box 200, an umbrella airbag 250 and a gas delivery device 350. The umbrella pole 150 is connected to the umbrella handle 100; the storage box 200 is connected to the end of the umbrella pole 150 away from the umbrella handle 100, and the storage box 200 has an expanded state and a stored state; the storage box 200 is used to accommodate the umbrella airbag 250; when the gas delivery device 350 inflates the umbrella airbag 250, the umbrella airbag 250 is inflated so that the storage box 200 is in the expanded state, and the side walls of the storage box 200 provide support and fixation for the umbrella airbag 250. The inflatable umbrella 10 provided by the present invention has a structure that breaks away from the radial umbrella frame of traditional umbrellas, so the umbrella airbag 250 can be designed into any shape, allowing users to economically change styles at any time. The design of the umbrella airbag 250 can control the direction of rainwater pouring. The design of the umbrella airbag 250 adopts the principle of airflow dynamics, so the umbrella is not easily blown away. On the basis of extending the function of traditional umbrellas, it subverts the form of traditional umbrellas.

[0057] In some embodiments, the storage box 200 also has a storage state. When the gas delivery device 350 draws air into the umbrella airbag 250, the umbrella airbag 250 is compressed, causing the storage box 200 to assume the storage state. Specifically, the multiple stars of the umbrella airbag 250 and the cover 300 are accommodated within the storage box 200. At this time, the multiple claw-like structures 210 of the storage box 200 are brought together to form a storage area. The multiple stars of the umbrella airbag 250 and the cover 300 can be stored simultaneously within the storage area, making the inflatable umbrella 10 compact and easy to carry.

[0058] Please refer again Figure 2 In some embodiments, one or more LED lights 550 are provided on a side of the storage box 200 close to the covering surface 300. When the storage box is in the expanded state, the LED lights are used to illuminate the umbrella airbag to improve the visibility of the umbrella holder on rainy days and provide traffic safety protection; when the storage box is in the stored state, the inflatable umbrella can be used as a flashlight.

[0059] Specifically, the number of LED lights 550 can be the same as the number of claw-like structures 210 in the storage box 200. Each claw-like structure 210 is provided with an LED light 550. When the storage box 200 is in the expanded state, the LED lights 550 are used to illuminate the umbrella airbag 250, improving traffic safety for the umbrella holder on rainy days. When the storage box 200 is in the stored state, the inflatable umbrella 10 can be used as a flashlight, enriching the functionality of the inflatable umbrella 10 and expanding the application forms of the inflatable umbrella 10. For example, if the storage box 200 has four claw-like structures 210, the number of LED lights 550 is also four, and the claw-like structures 210 and LED lights 550 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0060] It can be understood that at least zero LED lights 550 can be provided on each claw-shaped structure 210 .

[0061] Please continue reading Figure 6 , Figure 6 The diagram is a three-dimensional structural diagram of an inflatable umbrella from one perspective of the present application. In some embodiments, the inflatable umbrella 10 further includes a connecting frame 400, one end of which is connected to the umbrella pole 150 and the other end of which is connected to the storage box 200. The connecting frame 400 has an inflation channel that communicates with the inflation nozzle of the umbrella airbag 250.

[0062] Optionally, the inflation channel is connected between the inflation nozzle of the parachute airbag 250 and the gas delivery device 350 .

[0063] In some embodiments, the inflatable umbrella 10 further includes a lock 450, which is mounted on the connecting frame 400. The lock 450 is used to form a sealing protection for the umbrella airbag 250 and prevent the umbrella airbag 250 from being ejected and falling off under high pressure.

[0064] Please continue reading Figure 7 , Figure 7This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of an inflatable umbrella from another perspective of the present application. In some embodiments, the inflatable umbrella 10 further includes a first valve 500 and a second valve 510. The first valve 500 is used to control the gas delivery device 350 to inflate the umbrella airbag 250, while the second valve 510 is used to control the gas delivery device 350 to deflat, thereby compressing the umbrella airbag 250. In one specific embodiment, the first valve 500 is mounted on the umbrella handle 100 and is used to control the gas delivery device 350 to inflate the umbrella airbag 250, thereby expanding the entire cover 300. The second valve 510 is mounted near the top of the umbrella shaft 150 and is used to control the gas delivery device 350 to deflat, thereby compressing the umbrella airbag 250. This allows the polyhedral portions of the umbrella airbag 250 and the cover 300 to be easily stored within the storage box 200, making the inflatable umbrella 10 compact and portable.

[0065] In other embodiments, the inflatable umbrella 10 further includes a first set of valves and a second set of valves. The first set of valves is located at the bottom of the umbrella handle 100, and the second set of valves is located at the lower end of the claw-shaped structure 210 of the storage box 200. The first set of valves is used to control the gas delivery device 350 to inflate the umbrella airbag 250, thereby expanding the entire cover 300. Furthermore, the first set of valves is used to control the gas delivery device 350 to deflat, thereby compressing the umbrella airbag 250. This allows the several polygonal stars of the umbrella airbag 250 and the cover 300 to be easily stored within the storage box 200, making the inflatable umbrella 10 compact and portable. The second set of valves is used to control the gas delivery device 350 to inflate the umbrella airbag 250, thereby expanding the entire cover 300. The second set of valves is used to control the gas delivery device 350 to achieve air extraction, so that the umbrella airbag 250 is compressed, so that the several polygonal stars and the cover surface 300 of the umbrella airbag 250 can be easily stored in the storage box 200, making the inflatable umbrella 10 compact and easy to carry.

[0066] Please continue reading Figure 8 , Figure 8 yes Figure 1 In some embodiments, the surface of the umbrella airbag 250 for shading from the sun and rain is a covering surface 300, and the covering surface 300 is provided with an extended groove 310, and the groove 310 is used to control the direction of rainwater pouring.

[0067] Specifically, an extended groove 310 is provided on the upper outer portion of the cover surface 300 to control the direction of rainwater pouring. In one embodiment, the groove 310 can extend in a straight line in the left-right direction. In this way, when the umbrella holder is walking with the umbrella, rainwater can pour in the left-right direction through the groove 310 of the cover surface 300, and most of the rainwater will not splash onto the umbrella holder's body or backpack, thus providing more effective protection for the umbrella holder. It is understandable that Figure 6 、 7 8. Grooves are formed through the gaps between the air columns to reflect the design features of water diversion. Similarly, extended grooves or ridges can also play the same role. For example, Figure 4 The surface of the fixed wing airflow powered parachute airbag shown is not made up of arranged air columns, but its surface can be given a permanent concave and convex texture during the production process using different processes such as hot pressing and welding to achieve the function of water diversion and guidance.

[0068] It is understood that in other embodiments, the grooves 310 of the cover surface 300 may extend in other directions, for example, away from the direction of travel of the umbrella holder, so that rainwater pours in a direction away from the direction of travel of the umbrella holder, thereby protecting the umbrella holder. This application does not limit the direction in which the grooves 310 of the cover surface 300 extend; any design concept that helps control the direction of rainwater pouring is within the scope of protection of this application.

[0069] Please continue reading Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 This is a structural diagram of an inflatable umbrella provided by another embodiment of the present application. Figure 10 yes Figure 9 A partial enlarged view of area A in the provided inflatable umbrella. In some embodiments, the inflatable umbrella 10 further includes a skirt 320 connected to the periphery of the cover surface 300. The skirt 320 hangs downward, and air in the umbrella airbag 250 flows into the skirt 320, causing the pattern arranged on the skirt 320 to inflate to form a three-dimensional decoration and increase the rigidity of the skirt 320. The skirt 320 can have a pattern, including a flat pattern formed by ultrasonic welding points and an inflatable three-dimensional figure. The pattern or figure can be auspicious cloud patterns, the umbrella's trademark pattern, or other logo or decorative patterns.

[0070] Specifically, the skirt 320 is connected to a circle around the covering surface 300. The skirt 320 adopts a drooping design, which can effectively shield the umbrella holder in a relatively limited manner, prevent rain from splashing on the umbrella holder, and prevent excessive sunlight from shining on the umbrella holder's body.

[0071] In some embodiments, the number of the skirt edges 320 is four, and the four skirt edges 320 are respectively connected to the peripheral sides of the covering surface 300, thereby forming a shielding curtain, which can provide more effective shielding for the umbrella holder.

[0072] It is understandable that in other embodiments, the skirt 320 can also be a whole blackout curtain, which is formed in a circle around the circumference of the covering surface 300 and adopts a drooping design to improve the convenience of installation and disassembly.

[0073] In some embodiments, a guide groove 330 is provided at the bottom of the skirt 320 to direct rainwater in a predetermined direction. The predetermined direction is to avoid the direction of the umbrella holder's walking. For example, the predetermined direction may be left-right, while the umbrella holder's walking direction is forward. This allows more rainwater to flow away from both sides, thereby effectively protecting the umbrella holder. The guide groove 330 may be formed by a folded edge structure formed by ultrasonic welding or hot pressing.

[0074] In some embodiments, the grooves 310 extend in the same direction as the guide grooves 330. For example, if the grooves 310 on the cover surface 300 extend in a left-right direction, and the guide grooves 330 on the skirt 320 also extend in a left-right direction, and the umbrella holder is walking forward, the grooves 310 on the cover surface 300 and the guide grooves 330 on the skirt 320 cooperate with each other to maximize the flow of rainwater from both sides, thereby effectively protecting the umbrella holder.
