[0039] Example 1

[0040] Disclosed is a fully automatic sunshade umbrella used for sun protection of vehicles.

[0041] See also Figure 1 The fully automatic parasol includes a pair of slide rails 100, a fixing seat 600, two pairs of telescopic frames 200, 200', a pair of first sun visors 301, four pairs of second sun visors 302, six pairs of third sun visors 303, four first side pull rods 410, and eight second side pull rods 420.

[0042] The slide rail 100 is a multi-slide rail section superimposed telescopic structure, including two end sections 120 , two middle sections 130 and a fixed section 110 .

[0043] See also Figure 1a A fixing base 600 is located in the middle of the bottom surface of the fixing section 100. The fixing base 600 has mounting rods 610 vertically positioned at its left and right ends. These two mounting rods 610 secure the fixing base 600 to the middle of a roof rack 810. The roof rack 810 comprises a pair of aluminum alloy bars mounted on the left and right sides of the roof. Commercially available products are suitable for retrofitting small passenger vehicles, particularly SUVs.

[0044] One end section 120 and one middle section 130 form a front extension group 101, and the remaining end sections 120 and middle sections 130 form a rear extension group 102. Please note that the above "front" and "rear" are relative to the vehicle.

[0045] The fixed section 110 and the middle section 120 are both strip grooves with the notches facing downwards. The end section 110 is a closed hollow cavity with a bottom chute 121 formed in the middle and rear part. A slider 122 is provided in the bottom chute 121.

[0046] Telescopic frames 200 and 200', both located beneath the slide rails, comprise multiple X-shaped hinged structures. One end of telescopic frame 200 is pivotally secured to the slider 122 of one end section 120. One end of telescopic frame 200' is pivotally secured to the slider 122 of the other end section 120. The remaining ends of telescopic frames 200 and 200' are adjacent and driven synchronously by an electric screw assembly 201 within the fixed base 600, thereby driving the front extension group 101 and rear extension group 102 to extend and retract, respectively.

[0047] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first sun visor 301 is fixedly mounted on the left and right sides of the fixed section 110, and a pair of side panel guide rails 310 are arranged back to back on the bottom surface of the middle portion.

[0048] The second sun visors 302 are positioned on either side of the middle section 130 or the end section 120, with side rails 310 positioned on the sides facing away from the extension direction of the slide rail 100. The front edge of the second sun visor 302 located at the end section 130 also has an inward-facing side rail 310'.

[0049] The third sun visors 303 are slidably arranged one by one on the side panel guide rails 310. The four third sun visors 303 at the four corners are arranged between the two side panel guide rails 310 and 310'.

[0050] See Figure 5 The side rails 310 and 310' are both long plastic or alloy pieces with an M-shaped cross-section. One groove of the side rails 310 and 310' is snapped onto the side of the first sun visor 301 or the second sun visor 302, and the other groove serves as a guide slot for the third sun visor 303.

[0051] Each first side pull rod 410 is pivotally connected to a third sun visor 303 on one side of the end section 120 at one end and pivotally connected to a slider 122 at the other end. The slider 122 is located in the bottom slot 121 of the end section 120 and pivotally connected to the end of the telescopic frame 200 or 200'.

[0052] Each second side pull rod 420 has one end pivotally connected to the other third sunshades 303 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the other end pivotally connected to the downstream slide rail section (the middle section 130 or the end section 120).

[0053] After the fully automatic sunshade is unfolded by the electric screw pair 201, its top projection is a rectangle with curved corners. Except for the four third sun visors 303 located at the four corners, the top projections of the first sun visor 301, the second sun visor 302 and the remaining third sun visors 303 are all rectangles.

[0054] The first sun visor 301 , the second sun visor 302 and the third sun visor 303 are rigid ultra-thin plastic plates with sun protection function, and can be made of PET, PVC, PC or PMMA plates adhered with commercially available sun protection films.

[0055] This fully automatic parasol utilizes the aforementioned structure. The slide rail 100 comprises a multi-section, overlapping, telescopic structure. Telescopic frames 200 and 20' are located beneath the slide rail and are driven by an electric screw assembly 201, thereby extending and retracting the slide rail 100. The first and second sun visors 301 and 302 are directly connected to the respective slide rail sections. The third sun visor 303 is located on either side and is pulled by a first side pull rod 410 or a second side pull rod 420, expanding and retracting to the left or right as the slide rail 100 extends and retracts. This fully automatic parasol can be extended and retracted solely through electrical control, requiring no manual assistance for unfolding or folding.

[0056] This fully automatic parasol adopts a four-sided telescopic stacking structure with ultra-thin sunscreen panels. The sunshade can be opened by remote control with one button after parking, and retracted by remote control with one button before driving.

[0057] This fully automatic sunshade can be deployed in four directions, front, back, left, and right, to shield the front, rear, and left windows of a vehicle from sunlight. When the slide rail 100 pulls the sunshade toward the center, the left and right sunshades also retract toward the center, forming a single unit. This technology enables fully automatic operation, flattening the sunshade to reduce wind resistance, providing wind and rain protection, and minimizing negative impacts on the vehicle's appearance and driving safety.

[0058] In another similar embodiment, the remaining ends of the telescopic frames 200 and 200 ′ are adjacent and are driven to open and close respectively by two electric screw pairs 201 located below the middle of the fixed section 110 , so that the front extension group 101 and the rear extension group 102 can be extended and retracted asynchronously.

[0059] In another similar embodiment, the first sun visor 301, the second sun visor 302 and the third sun visor 303 are rigid ultra-thin glass plates with sun protection function. The glass plates have stable performance and are not easily damaged.

[0060] In another similar embodiment, the first sun visor 301, the second sun visor 302 and the third sun visor 303 are made of sun-proof screens embedded in an aluminum alloy frame. The sun-proof screens are made of commercially available silver tape for sunshades, which is lightweight and low-cost.

[0061] In another similar embodiment, the first sun visor 301 , the second sun visor 302 and the third sun visor 303 are photovoltaic panels, so as to be able to charge the car or supply power to the onboard equipment.

[0062] In another similar embodiment, the fully automatic parasol is used for outdoor leisure and sun protection and is mounted on the top of a pair of door-shaped lifting frames, the bottom ends of which are firmly fixed. In other words, the vehicle-mounted parasol can be removed and used to set up a temporary tent.

[0063] In another similar embodiment, the fully automatic parasol is used for sun protection of houses, and there are multiple of them, which are attached to the roof or the exterior wall.
