The front and rear parts of the fixed mounting frame 1 are rotatably connected to two symmetrically arranged rotating blocks 2, and the rotating blocks 2 are fixedly connected to the support rods 3. The rotating mounting plate 4 is rotatably connected between the two support rods 3 on the right side. The awning 5 is fixedly connected to the left side of the rotating mounting plate 4, and the sun visor 6 is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotating mounting plate 4. When the awning 5 is unfolded, it can play a role in sun protection and rain protection. A counterweight assembly 61 is provided at the bottom of the rotating mounting plate 4 to keep the sun visor 6 in a horizontal state. A connecting assembly 7 is provided on the support rod 3, and a driving assembly 8 for driving the rotating block 2 to rotate is provided on the fixed mounting frame 1. The connecting assembly 7 is provided with a pushing mechanism 9 and a positioning mechanism.
[0028] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting assembly 7 includes a rotating rod 71, a connecting cross rod 72 and a guide rod 73. The end of the support rod 3 away from the rotating block 2 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 71, and the two rotating rods 71 on the rear side are slidably connected with the connecting cross rod 72. The two rotating rods 71 on the front side are also slidably connected with the connecting cross rod 72. When the support rod 3 rotates, the rotating rod 71 will slide on the connecting cross rod 72, and the awning 5 is supported by the connecting cross rod 72, the rotating rod 71 and the support rod 3 to prevent the awning 5 from being blown down by the wind. The left end of the connecting cross rod 72 is fixedly connected to the guide rod 73, and the awning 5 is arranged between the two guide rods 73.
[0029] like Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the drive assembly 8 includes a drive motor 81 and a first full gear 82. The drive motor 81 is bolted to the front and rear sides of the fixed mounting frame 1. The drive motor 81 is waterproof to enable the drive motor 81 to adapt to the yacht environment and avoid damage to the drive motor 81 when it encounters water. The output shaft of the drive motor 81 is fixedly connected to the rotating block 2 on the right side through a coupling. The rotating block 2 is fixedly connected to the first full gear 82. The two first full gears 82 on the same side are engaged with each other to enable the rotating block 2 to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the four support rods 3 to rotate synchronously.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, the pushing mechanism 9 includes a first rack 91, a fixed plate 92, a second full gear 93 and a second rack 94. The first rack 91 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting cross bar 72 that is away from each other, and the two rotating rods 71 on the right are fixedly connected to the fixed plate 92. The ends of the fixed plate 92 are rotatably connected to the second full gear 93, and the second full gear 93 is meshed with the adjacent first rack 91. The guide rod 73 is slidably connected to the second rack 94, and the second rack 94 is connected to the awning 5. The second rack 94 moves to the left to pull the awning 5 open, and the second rack 94 moves to the right to pull the awning 5 folded, and the second rack 94 is meshed with the adjacent second full gear 93.
[0031] like Figure 9 As shown, the positioning mechanism includes an electromagnet 101, a positioning sliding block 102 and a compression spring 103. A positioning hole 104 is opened in the middle of the top of the connecting cross bar 72. An electromagnet 101 is installed on the two rotating rods 71 on the right. The two rotating rods 71 on the right are slidably connected with a positioning sliding block 102. The positioning sliding block 102 can be stuck in the positioning hole 104 and can position the rotating rod 71 when the awning 5 is unfolded. The top of the positioning sliding block 102 is a slope, and the positioning sliding block 102 is made of ferromagnetic material. When the electromagnet 101 is energized, it can attract the positioning sliding block 102 to move downward, so that the positioning sliding block 102 leaves the positioning hole 104 to fold the awning 5. A compression spring 103 is connected between the positioning sliding block 102 and the adjacent electromagnet 101.
[0032] First, install the fixed mounting bracket 1 on the yacht. When sunshade is needed, the two rotating blocks 2 on the right side are driven to rotate counterclockwise by controlling the driving motor 81, thereby driving the two supporting rods 3 on the right side and the two first full gears 82 on the right side to rotate counterclockwise. Under the action of meshing, the two first full gears 82 on the left side are rotated synchronously clockwise, thereby driving the two supporting rods 3 on the left side to rotate synchronously clockwise. The rotation of the four supporting rods 3 can make the two rotating rods 71 on the right side slide to the left on the connecting cross bar 72, and make the two rotating rods 71 on the left side slide to the right on the connecting cross bar 72, and make the rotating rod 71, the connecting cross bar 72, the guide rod 73, the first rack 91, the fixing plate 92 and the second rack 94 lift up, and the rotating rod 71 on the right side is The fixing plate 92, the second full gear 93 and the positioning slide block 102 are driven to move to the left. Under the meshing action of the second full gear 93 and the first rack 91, the second full gear 93 can rotate on its own. Then, under the meshing action of the second full gear 93 and the second rack 94, the second rack 94 is moved to the left. The second rack 94 pulls the awning 5 open. The guide rod 73 plays a guiding role. The positioning slide block 102 moves to the left and contacts the connecting cross bar 72. The positioning slide block 102 with an inclined surface is squeezed by the connecting cross bar 72 and automatically retracts downward. The compression spring 103 is compressed. When the positioning slide block 102 is aligned with the positioning hole 104, the compression spring 103 returns to its original state, driving the positioning slide block 102 to move upward and reset, thereby making the positioning The sliding block 102 is stuck in the positioning hole 104, and the positioning sliding block 102 can position the rotating rod 71. At the same time, during the rotation of the support rod 3, due to the gravity of the counterweight assembly 61, the sun visor 6 and the rotating mounting plate 4 can be kept in a horizontal state. At this time, the awning 5 and the sun visor 6 can play a sunshade role, improving the comfort of the passengers. The driving motor 81 is waterproof, so that the driving motor 81 can adapt to the yacht environment. When the awning 5 needs to be folded up, the electromagnet 101 is controlled to attract the positioning sliding block 102 to move downward, so that the positioning sliding block 102 leaves the positioning hole 104, and the driving motor 81 is controlled to drive the two rotating blocks 2 on the right to rotate clockwise and reset, driving the two support rods 3 on the right and the right The two first full gears 82 rotate clockwise to reset, and the two first full gears 82 on the left rotate counterclockwise synchronously under the action of meshing, thereby driving the two support rods 3 on the left to rotate counterclockwise synchronously. The rotation of the four support rods 3 can make the two rotating rods 71 on the right slide to the right on the connecting cross bar 72, and make the two rotating rods 71 on the left slide to the left on the connecting cross bar 72, and make the rotating rod 71, the connecting cross bar 72, the guide rod 73, the first rack 91, the fixed plate 92 and the second rack 94 move downward and reset. The rotating rod 71 on the right drives the fixed plate 92, the second full gear 93 and the positioning sliding block 102 to move to the right. Under the meshing action of the second full gear 93 and the first rack 91, the second full gear 93 can be reversed.Then, under the meshing action of the second full gear 93 and the second rack 94, the second rack 94 moves to the right and resets, and the second rack 94 retracts the awning 5. In this way, the awning 5 can be automatically and quickly unfolded and folded without manual retraction, which is convenient to use.
[0033] Example 2: Based on Example 1, Figure 1 and Figure 10 As shown, it also includes a support assembly 11, which includes a connecting block 111 and a supporting telescopic rod 112. The middle part of the support rod 3 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 111, and the supporting telescopic rod 112 is rotatably connected between the connecting block 111 and the fixed mounting frame 1. When the support rod 3 rotates, the supporting telescopic rod 112 rotates and extends. When the support rod 3 reverses and resets, the supporting telescopic rod 112 reverses and shortens. The supporting telescopic rod 112 can play a supporting role to prevent the awning 5 from being blown down by the wind, thereby improving the stability of the awning 5.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
