Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of umbrella technology, specifically to a dual-purpose umbrella for both sunny and rainy days that allows for easy opening and closing to clean the canopy. Background Technology
[0002] An umbrella is a tool for shielding from the sun or rain and snow. It is held up by hand when in use. Although the main purpose of umbrellas when they were first invented was to block the sun, they are now most commonly used as a tool to protect against rain on rainy days. They are also a tool that people always carry with them when going out. Existing umbrellas can effectively block rainwater on rainy days, preventing users from getting wet. They are simple to use and easy to carry.
[0003] While the aforementioned existing technologies can solve the corresponding technical problems, they still have certain drawbacks: when umbrellas are used for sun or rain protection, the umbrella surface is easily exposed to particulate matter, dust, and rainwater in the air. After being folded up, rainwater and dust can easily enter the dead corners of the umbrella folds. Consequently, when the umbrella is inverted and stored in a storage bag or inside a car, dust or rainwater can easily drip from these dead corners, making the storage bag or the car interior damp or dirty. This not only makes storage inconvenient but also affects the user's experience. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing a dual-purpose umbrella that is easy to store, has a pleasant opening and closing mechanism, and allows for easy cleaning of the umbrella surface.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a dual-purpose umbrella for both sunny and rainy days with an openable and closable canopy for cleaning, comprising a handle, an upper push rod, an umbrella canopy, an outer frame, and a scraper. The handle is disposed at one end of the upper push rod, the outer frame is disposed at the other end of the upper push rod, the umbrella canopy is disposed on the bottom surface of the outer frame, and the scraper is disposed at both ends on the outer frame, with the bottom of the scraper adhering to the umbrella canopy. The outer frame includes an upper push block, a folding handle, a push spring, a slider, and a track frame. The inner wall of the upper push block is slidably connected to the outer wall of the upper push rod. One end of the handle is located on the top surface of the push block, and one end of the push spring is located on the other end of the folding handle. One side of the slider is fixedly connected to the other end of the push spring. The slider is internally located on the inner wall of the track frame and can slide relative to the track frame. The umbrella surface is located on the bottom surface of the track frame. The bottom surface of the slider and the top surface of the umbrella surface are in contact with each other. The scraper is located on the slider. The slider includes a connecting block, a buffer plate, an impact rod, a rolling frame, and a brush. The scraper is located on the connecting block, and the bottom surface of the brush is in contact with the top surface of the umbrella surface. The buffer plate has two ends... The impact rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting block, and the rolling frame is disposed on the bottom surface of the connecting block. The bottom of the rolling frame is disposed on the inner wall of the track frame and can slide relative to the track frame. The brush is disposed on the bottom surface of the rolling frame. The rolling frame includes a connecting piece, a fixing frame, a central shaft, a contact frame, a rolling ring, and an impact groove. The connecting piece is disposed on the bottom surface of the connecting block. The two ends of the fixing frame are disposed in the connecting piece. The central shaft is disposed in the fixing frame. The bottom of the contact frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the central shaft. The top of the contact frame is attached to the inner wall of the rolling ring. The impact groove is disposed on the inner wall of the rolling ring. The outer wall of the rolling ring is disposed on the inner wall of the track frame and can slide relative to the track frame. The contact frame includes a spring frame, a base block, an impact head, a deformable piece, and an impact ball. The bottom of the spring frame is disposed on the outer wall of the central shaft. The base block is disposed on the top of the spring frame. The two ends of the deformable piece are disposed on the top of the base block. The impact head is disposed on the inner wall of the base block. The impact ball is disposed on the bottom surface of the deformable piece. The top surface of the deformable piece is attached to the inner wall of the rolling ring.
[0006] A further improvement is that the scraper is a long strip of rubber with a wedge-shaped cross-section and the wedge tip fits into the umbrella surface.
[0007] A further improvement is that the top of the folding handle is provided with a movable head, and the middle part of the folding handle is provided with several torsion spring rings.
[0008] A further improvement is that the bottom of the brush blade is provided with several curled fiber filaments, and the brush blade is provided with several of these.
[0009] A further improvement is that the impact groove is a semi-heart-shaped groove structure.
[0010] A further improvement is that the deformable sheet is an arc-shaped plastic sheet structure, and the top is provided with several freely rolling balls.
[0011] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: When the umbrella is opened, the present invention simultaneously pushes the slider to drive the scraper to clean the umbrella surface, and restores it again for a second cleaning after the umbrella is closed. This removes dust and water from the surface of the umbrella, preventing the storage bag or the car interior from becoming damp or dirty during storage. This not only makes storage convenient but also ensures the user's experience. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0020] See Figure 1-5 As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is as follows: Figure 1As shown, a dual-purpose umbrella for both sunny and rainy days with an openable and closable canopy for cleaning includes a handle 1, an upper push rod 2, an umbrella canopy 3, an outer frame 4, and a scraper 5. The handle 1 is located at one end of the upper push rod 2, and the outer frame 4 is located at the other end of the upper push rod 2. The umbrella canopy 3 is located on the bottom surface of the outer frame 4, and the scraper 5 is located on both ends of the outer frame 4. The bottom of the scraper 5 is attached to the umbrella canopy 3. The scraper 5 is a long strip of rubber with a wedge-shaped cross-section and the wedge-shaped tip is attached to the umbrella canopy 3. This allows it to be bent when closing the umbrella without affecting the smoothness of closing, while maintaining a good scraping effect and reducing damage to the umbrella canopy 3 by using low hardness.
[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer frame 4 includes an upper push block 41, a folding handle 42, a push spring 43, a slider 44, and a track frame 45. The inner wall of the upper push block 41 is disposed on the outer wall of the upper push rod 2 and can slide relative to it. One end of the folding handle 42 is disposed on the top surface of the upper push block 41, and one end of the push spring 43 is disposed on the other end of the folding handle 42. One side of the slider 44 is fixedly connected to the other end of the push spring 43. The slider 44 is disposed inside the inner wall of the track frame 45 and can slide relative to the track frame 45. The umbrella surface 3 is disposed on the track. The bottom surface of the frame 45 is attached to the bottom surface of the slider 44 and the top surface of the umbrella surface 3. The scraper 5 is set on the slider 44. The top of the folding handle 42 is provided with a movable head, and the middle part of the folding handle 42 is provided with several torsion spring rings. In this embodiment, there are five rings, which is beneficial to generate torsional deformation and accumulate elasticity during the outward push. This not only allows the push spring 43 to be pushed outward smoothly, but also allows for a faster umbrella closing speed through the elasticity. Thus, the rainwater and attached objects on the umbrella surface 3 are further shaken off by quickly closing the umbrella.
[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the slider 44 includes a connecting block 31, a buffer plate 32, an impact rod 33, a rolling frame 34, and a brush 35. The scraper 5 is disposed on the connecting block 31. The bottom surface of the brush 35 is in contact with the top surface of the umbrella surface 3. The two ends of the buffer plate 32 are disposed on one side of the connecting block 31. The outer wall of the impact rod 33 is disposed on the inner wall of the connecting block 31 and can slide against each other. The rolling frame 34 is disposed on the bottom surface of the connecting block 31. The bottom of the rolling frame 34 is disposed on the inner wall of the track frame 45 and can slide against the track frame 45. The brush 35 is disposed on the bottom surface of the rolling frame 34. The bottom of the brush 35 is provided with several curled fiber filaments. In this embodiment, there are three. The presence of several brush filaments is beneficial for thoroughly cleaning the dead corners where the umbrella surface 3 and the track frame 45 are connected during movement.
[0023] like Figure 4As shown, the rolling frame 34 includes a connecting piece 410, a fixing frame 420, a central shaft 430, a contact frame 440, a rolling ring 450, and an impact groove 46. The connecting piece 410 is disposed on the bottom surface of the connecting block 31. The two ends of the fixing frame 420 are disposed in the connecting piece 410. The central shaft 430 is disposed in the fixing frame 420. The bottom of the contact frame 440 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the central shaft 430. The top of the contact frame 440 is attached to the inner wall of the rolling ring 450. The impact groove 46 is disposed on the inner wall of the rolling ring 450. The outer wall of the rolling ring 450 is disposed on the inner wall of the track frame 45 and can slide relative to the track frame 45. The impact groove 46 has a semi-heart-shaped groove structure, which is conducive to the rapid impact and contact of the contact frame 440 after it moves to the impact groove 46, thereby obtaining vibration and reducing the resistance of the contact frame 440 to continue moving.
[0024] like Figure 5 As shown, the contact frame 440 includes a spring frame 51, a base block 52, an impact head 53, a deformable piece 54, and an impact ball 55. The bottom of the spring frame 51 is located on the outer wall of the central shaft 430, the base block 52 is located on the top of the spring frame 51, the two ends of the deformable piece 54 are located on the top of the base block 52, the impact head 53 is located on the inner wall of the base block 52, the impact ball 55 is located on the bottom surface of the deformable piece 54, and the top surface of the deformable piece 54 is attached to the inner wall of the rolling ring 450. The deformable piece 54 is an arc-shaped plastic sheet structure, and the top is provided with several freely rolling balls. In this embodiment, there are three balls, which is beneficial for deformation after being impacted, which drives the impact ball 55 to move downward and reduces the resistance during movement.
[0025] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Pushing the push block 41 opens the outer frame 4, thereby opening the umbrella canopy 3. Pulling down the push block 41 closes the umbrella canopy 3. When the push block 41 is pushed up to open the umbrella, it moves upward along the push rod 2, simultaneously pushing the folding handle 42. The folding handle 42 moves upward and bends upon contact with the inner wall of the outer frame 4, generating elasticity. This bending causes the upward force to become a lateral force, which in turn pushes the push spring 43, causing the slider 44 to be pushed outward. This causes the scraper 5 to extend and move along the umbrella canopy 3, scraping away rainwater and dust from a large area of the umbrella canopy 3. The rolling frame 34 at the bottom of the slider 44 rolls on the track frame 45, simultaneously causing the brush 35 to remove rainwater and dust from the dead corner where the umbrella canopy 3 and track frame 45 meet. The inner wall of the rolling ring 450 of the frame 34 is provided with an impact groove 46, and the contact frame 440, which is located on the outer wall of the central shaft 430, is attached to the inner wall of the rolling ring 450. When the rolling ring 450 rotates and moves, it moves to a certain angle so that the impact groove 46 is aligned with the contact frame 440. Then, the base block 52 of the contact frame 440 impacts outward under the pushing action of the elastic frame 51, causing the deformable piece 45 and the base block 52 to hit the impact groove 46 and generate vibration. At the same time, the deformable piece 54 deforms and presses down the impact ball 55, causing the impact ball 55 to hit the impact head 53 and generate secondary vibration. Thus, vibration occurs simultaneously during the scraping process, further enhancing the removal effect of rainwater and dust. After use, the umbrella can be folded up and reopened, and then folded up again. The above actions keep the umbrella surface clean and prevent the storage bag or the car interior from becoming damp or dirty during storage. This not only makes storage convenient but also ensures the user's experience.
