Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of umbrella technology, specifically relating to a two-way automatic umbrella. Background Technology

[0002] An umbrella is a tool for shielding from the sun or rain and snow, usually made of oiled paper, oilcloth, or plastic sheeting. It is now most commonly used as a rain shield, hence the name "umbrella." To improve the convenience of umbrella use, automatic umbrellas have emerged in the current technology. However, existing automatic umbrellas have functional defects. Specifically, they can only open automatically; closing them still requires manual operation, resulting in poor convenience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a two-way automatic umbrella to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A two-way automatic umbrella includes a handle, a telescopic rod, umbrella ribs, and an umbrella fabric;

[0006] The telescopic pole has two opposite ends, one end of which is connected to the umbrella handle and the other end is connected to the umbrella ribs, and the umbrella fabric is connected to the umbrella ribs.

[0007] The umbrella frame includes a fixing plate, folding rods and a pusher. The fixing plate is fixed to the end of the telescopic rod. Several folding rods are provided and are evenly spaced along the circumference of the fixing plate. The pusher is slidably arranged on the outer periphery of the telescopic rod and connected to the folding rods.

[0008] The umbrella handle is equipped with a take-up and release module, which is connected to a take-up and release rope and a traction rope. One end of the take-up and release rope is wound around the take-up and release module, and the other end passes through the telescopic rod and is connected to the fixed plate. The take-up and release rope is made of a rigid and flexible material. One end of the traction rope is wound around the take-up and release module, and the other end passes through the telescopic rod, passes around the fixed plate, and is connected to the push frame. The winding direction of the traction rope is the same as that of the take-up and release rope. Both the traction rope and the take-up and release rope have a number of turns on the outer wall of the take-up and release module. The number of turns of the traction rope on the outer wall of the take-up and release module is less than the number of turns of the take-up and release rope on the outer wall of the take-up and release module.

[0009] Accordingly, the retraction module can retract or release the retraction rope. When the retraction module retracts the retraction rope, the bidirectional automatic umbrella is vertical. The retraction rope pulls the fixed plate to slide towards the umbrella handle to retract the telescopic rod. After the traction rope is released, it is retracted onto the retraction module, and the pusher slides towards the umbrella handle to fold the folding rod. When the retraction module releases the retraction rope, the retraction rope pushes against the fixed plate to extend the telescopic rod. After the traction rope is released, it is retracted and pulls the pusher to slide towards the fixed plate to unfold the folding rod.

[0010] In one possible design, the take-up and release module includes a drive unit, a transmission unit, a take-up and release unit, and a locking unit. The drive unit is connected to the transmission unit and drives the take-up and release unit to rotate. The take-up and release unit rotates to wind up or release the take-up and release rope. The locking unit is located between the take-up and release unit and the end of the umbrella handle and is used to clamp the take-up and release rope. Correspondingly, the umbrella handle is provided with several cavities to accommodate the drive unit, transmission unit, take-up and release unit, and locking unit respectively.

[0011] In one possible design, the take-up and take-down unit includes a first winch, a second winch, and a flexible variable-diameter clamp;

[0012] The first winch is rotatably mounted inside the umbrella handle, and the outer periphery of the first winch is a transmission gear ring. Correspondingly, the first winch is connected to the transmission unit through the transmission gear ring.

[0013] The second winch is fixed to the side of the first winch, and the outer periphery of the second winch is provided with a first storage groove adapted to the winding and unwinding of the rope and a second storage groove adapted to the traction rope.

[0014] The flexible variable diameter clamp is sleeved outside the second winch, and correspondingly, a variable diameter gap is formed between the flexible variable diameter clamp and the second winch for storing and releasing the rope.

[0015] The flexible variable diameter clamp has an opening facing the locking unit. A reinforcing pressure spring is provided on the outside of the opening, with one end of the reinforcing pressure spring abutting against the umbrella handle and the other end abutting against the opening. A torsion spring is provided on the inside of the opening, which divides the opening into a first channel and a second channel. Correspondingly, the take-up and release ropes are threaded through the first channel, with both sides of the take-up and release ropes abutting against the opening and the torsion spring, respectively. The traction rope is threaded through the second channel.

[0016] In one possible design, the locking unit includes an outer cover, an inner cover, a clamping ball, a drive plate, and a return spring.

[0017] The outer cover is a conical cover fixed inside the umbrella handle, with the smaller diameter end of the outer cover facing the unfolding unit and the larger diameter end facing the end of the umbrella handle.

[0018] The inner cover is a conical cover that slides inside the outer cover. The smaller diameter end of the inner cover faces the storage unit, and there is a gap between the smaller diameter end of the outer cover and the smaller diameter end of the inner cover. The larger diameter end of the inner cover is abutted against the end of the umbrella handle by a return spring.

[0019] Several clamping beads are provided and placed inside the inner cover. The inner circumference of the clamping beads forms a clamping hole, and the outer circumference of the clamping beads passes through the inner cover and abuts against the outer cover.

[0020] The drive plate is rotatably mounted on the umbrella handle. One end of the drive plate extends through the outside of the umbrella handle, and the other end of the drive plate extends through the outer cover into the gap. The drive plate abuts against the small diameter end of the inner cover.

[0021] In one possible design, the drive unit includes a battery and a motor, with the battery electrically connected to the motor and the motor's output connected to a transmission unit. Correspondingly, the umbrella handle is provided with a charging port electrically connected to the battery.

[0022] In one possible design, steel wire rope is used for the take-up and release ropes.

[0023] In one possible design, the umbrella handle includes a fixed part and a movable part. The fixed part has two opposite ends, one end of which is connected to a telescopic rod and the other end of which is connected to the movable part. The movable part is hinged to the fixed part. Accordingly, the movable part can rotate about the hinge point to fold or unfold the umbrella handle.

[0024] Accordingly, the drive unit is located in the movable part, the retraction unit and the locking unit are located in the fixed part, and the transmission unit includes two transmission gears, one of which is located in the fixed part and the other is located in the movable part.

[0025] In one possible design, the fixed part and the movable part are respectively provided with magnetic parts, and when the umbrella handle is folded, the two magnetic parts face each other and are magnetically connected.

[0026] The movable part has two opposing ends, one end of which is hinged to the fixed part, and the other end is equipped with a lighting lamp, a reflector and an inverted tooth.

[0027] A first circuit is provided between the battery and the motor. A normally closed switch K0 is connected in series on the first circuit. A forward switch and a reverse switch are also connected in parallel on the first circuit. The forward switch includes normally open switches K1 and K2, and normally open switches K3 and K4. The battery is connected in parallel with the charging port. The battery is also connected to a second circuit. A lighting lamp and a lighting switch K5 are connected in series on the second circuit. Correspondingly, normally closed switches K0, K1, K2, K3, and K4, and the lighting switch K5 are all located on the umbrella handle.

[0028] In one possible design, the pusher includes a base frame and push rods. The inner circumference of the base frame is provided with sliding holes adapted to the telescopic rods. The outer circumference of the base frame is hinged to the push rods. One end of the push rod is hinged to the base frame, and the other end of the push rod is hinged to the folding rods. Several push rods are provided and are arranged one-to-one with the folding rods.

[0029] Beneficial effects:

[0030] The two-way automatic umbrella can automatically open and close, enabling one-handed operation throughout the entire umbrella use process, making it more convenient and practical.

[0031] The connection between the fixed part and the movable part is achieved by hinge, which also allows the movable part to rotate relative to the fixed part, thereby further reducing the length of the umbrella handle. This makes it easier for users to place the two-way automatic umbrella in a small shoulder bag, handbag, or other bag, freeing up the user's hands and improving the convenience of using the two-way automatic umbrella.

Detailed Implementation

[0040] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the present invention will be briefly introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and descriptions of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the following description of the structure of the accompanying drawings is only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is for the purpose of helping to understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention.

[0041] Example:

[0042] Using an umbrella can be divided into two steps: opening and closing. Existing automatic umbrellas can open automatically, but they cannot close automatically, making them less convenient to use. Furthermore, closing the umbrella generally requires both hands, which becomes significantly more difficult when both hands are holding items.

[0043] To address the aforementioned issues, a two-way automatic umbrella is proposed. Through structural improvements, the two-way automatic umbrella can automatically open and close, enabling one-handed operation throughout the entire umbrella usage process, making it more convenient and practical.

[0044] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a two-way automatic umbrella includes a handle 100, a telescopic rod 200, umbrella ribs 300, and an umbrella fabric 400.

[0045] The telescopic pole 200 has two opposite ends, one end of which is connected to the umbrella handle 100 and the other end is connected to the umbrella ribs 300. The umbrella fabric 400 is connected to the umbrella ribs 300.

[0046] The umbrella rib 300 includes a fixing plate 310, a folding rod 320 and a pusher 330. The fixing plate 310 is fixed to the end of the telescopic rod 200. Several folding rods 320 are provided and are evenly spaced along the circumference of the fixing plate 310. The pusher 330 is slidably disposed on the outer periphery of the telescopic rod 200 and connected to the folding rods 320.

[0047] The umbrella handle 100 is provided with a retractable module 500. The retractable module 500 is connected to a retractable rope 601 and a traction rope 602. One end of the retractable rope 601 is wound around the retractable module 500, and the other end of the retractable rope 601 passes through the telescopic rod 200 and is connected to the fixed plate 310. The retractable rope 601 is made of a rigid and flexible material. One end of the traction rope 602 is wound around the retractable module 500, and the other end of the traction rope 602 passes through the telescopic rod 200 and passes around the fixed plate 310 before being connected to the push frame 330. The winding direction of the traction rope 602 is the same as that of the retractable rope 601. Both the traction rope 602 and the retractable rope 601 have a number of turns on the outer peripheral wall of the retractable module 500. The number of turns of the traction rope 602 on the outer peripheral wall of the retractable module 500 is less than the number of turns of the retractable rope 601 on the outer peripheral wall of the retractable module (500).

[0048] Accordingly, the retraction module 500 can retract or release the retraction rope 601. When the retraction module 500 retracts the retraction rope 601, the bidirectional automatic umbrella is vertical. The retraction rope 601 pulls the fixing plate 310 to slide towards the umbrella handle 100 to retract the telescopic rod 200. After the traction rope 602 is released, it is retracted onto the retraction module 500. The pusher 330 slides towards the umbrella handle 100 to fold the folding rod 320. When the retraction module 500 releases the retraction rope 601, the retraction rope 601 pushes against the fixing plate 310 to extend the telescopic rod 200. After the traction rope 602 is released, it is retracted and pulls the pusher 330 to slide towards the fixing plate 310 to unfold the folding rod 320.

[0049] Specifically, the umbrella handle 100 is provided with a take-up and release module 500, which houses the take-up and release rope 601 and the traction rope 602 to reduce their length outside the umbrella handle 100, so as to facilitate closing the umbrella. Conversely, the take-up and release module 500 also provides driving force to release the take-up and release rope 601 and the traction rope 602 outwards, increasing their length outside the umbrella handle 100, so as to facilitate opening the umbrella.

[0050] Meanwhile, the take-up rope 601 is made of a rigid and flexible material. When the take-up rope 601 is stored on the take-up module 500, the take-up rope 601 can be coiled and wrapped around the storage module to reduce the space occupied by the take-up rope 601. When the take-up rope 601 is released from the take-up module 500, the take-up rope 601 is rigid and pushes the fixing plate 310 outward to move so that the telescopic rod 200 is stretched.

[0051] When the umbrella opens, the unfolding module 500 rotates forward, releasing the unfolding rope 601 and pushing the fixing plate 310. The telescopic rod 200 is stretched, increasing the distance between the fixing plate 310 and the umbrella handle 100. However, the folding rod 320 of the umbrella ribs 300 remains folded, and the umbrella fabric 400 is not opened. Therefore, a traction rope 602 is also connected to the unfolding module 500. The traction rope 602 passes through the telescopic rod 200 and connects to the push frame 330. The winding direction of the traction rope 602 is the same as that of the unfolding rope 601. The number of turns of the traction rope 602 outside the unfolding module 500 is less than the number of turns of the unfolding rope 601 outside the unfolding module 500. So, when the umbrella opens, the unfolding rope 601 is released and then tightened, and the traction rope 602 is released and gradually wound around the unfolding module 500. Based on this, the traction rope 602 pulls the pusher 330 to slide towards the fixed plate 310, thereby pushing the folding rod 320 to unfold, and the umbrella cloth 400 unfolds accordingly, thus opening the umbrella.

[0052] Note that when the umbrella is opened, the telescopic pole 200 is stretched, and its length gradually increases. The traction rope 602 is wound around the take-up and release module 500. The movements of the two are initially the same and then opposite. In order to avoid the traction rope 602 from hindering the stretching of the telescopic pole 200, the traction rope 602 has a number of turns outside the take-up and release module 500. The number of turns of the traction rope 602 outside the take-up and release module 500 is less than the number of turns of the take-up and release rope 601 outside the take-up and release module 500. Based on this, the extension of the telescopic pole 200 is divided into a front section and a rear section. In the front section, the telescopic pole 200 is pushed outward by the take-up rope 601, and the traction rope 602 releases the turns located outside the take-up module 500 from the take-up module 500 to ensure that the push frame 330 is stretched without obstruction. In the rear section, the telescopic pole 200 continues to be pushed outward by the take-up rope 601. As the length of the telescopic pole 200 increases, the part of the traction rope 602 located inside the telescopic pole 200 is wound around the take-up module 500. At this time, the push frame 330 is pulled and slides towards the fixed plate 310 to open the umbrella.

[0053] When closing the umbrella, the opening and closing module 500 rotates in the opposite direction, and the opening and closing rope 601 is wound onto the opening and closing module 500, compressing the telescopic rod 200. After the traction rope 602 is released, it is wound onto the opening and closing module 500, which causes the folding rod 320 to fold and the umbrella fabric 400 to be retracted, completing the closing of the umbrella.

[0054] In summary, when using the bidirectional automatic umbrella, the user only needs to control the rotation of the opening and closing module 500, which is simple to operate and convenient to use.

[0055] In this embodiment, the take-up and release module 500 includes a drive unit 510, a transmission unit 520, a take-up and release unit 530, and a locking unit 540. The drive unit 510 is connected to and drives the take-up and release unit 530 to rotate through the transmission unit 520. The take-up and release unit 530 rotates to take up or release the take-up and release rope 601. The locking unit 540 is located between the take-up and release unit 530 and the end of the umbrella handle 100. The locking unit 540 is used to clamp the take-up and release rope 601. Correspondingly, the umbrella handle 100 is provided with a plurality of cavities to respectively accommodate the drive unit 510, the transmission unit 520, the take-up and release unit 530, and the locking unit 540.

[0056] Based on the above design, the drive unit 510 provides driving force, which is transmitted to the retractable unit 530 via the transmission unit 520, causing the retractable unit 530 to rotate. Simultaneously, the retractable unit 530 rotates to retract the retractable rope 601 and the traction rope 602. However, since the bidirectional automatic umbrella is vertically positioned during use, the retractable rope 601, telescopic rod 200, umbrella ribs 300, and umbrella fabric 400 will slide down under gravity. Therefore, a locking unit 540 is provided to fix the retractable rope 601, ensuring that the retractable rope 601, telescopic rod 200, umbrella ribs 300, and umbrella fabric 400 are fixed at the designed height, guaranteeing that the bidirectional automatic umbrella is in the open state. Conversely, when closing the umbrella, even if the bidirectional automatic umbrella is inverted, the retractable rope 601, telescopic rod 200, umbrella ribs 300, and umbrella fabric 400 can still be fixed in the closed state. This effectively improves the stability of the bidirectional automatic umbrella during use.

[0057] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the take-up and release unit 530 includes a first winch 531, a second winch 532, and an elastic variable diameter clamp 533;

[0058] The first winch 531 is rotatably disposed within the umbrella handle 100, and the outer periphery of the first winch 531 is a transmission gear ring. Correspondingly, the first winch 531 is connected to the transmission unit 520 through the transmission gear ring.

[0059] The second winch 532 is fixed on the side of the first winch 531, and the outer periphery of the second winch 532 is provided with a first storage groove 501 adapted to the winding and unwinding rope 601 and a second storage groove 502 adapted to the traction rope 602.

[0060] The elastic variable diameter clamp 533 is sleeved on the outside of the second winch 532. Correspondingly, a variable diameter gap is formed between the elastic variable diameter clamp 533 and the second winch 532 for storing and releasing the rope 601.

[0061] The elastic variable diameter clamp 533 has an opening facing the locking unit 540. A reinforcing pressure spring 503 is provided on the outside of the opening. Correspondingly, one end of the reinforcing pressure spring 503 abuts against the umbrella handle 100, and the other end abuts against the opening. A torsion spring 504 is provided on the inside of the opening. The torsion spring 504 divides the opening into a first channel 505 and a second channel 506. Correspondingly, the take-up rope 601 is threaded on the first channel 505, and both sides of the take-up rope 601 abut against the opening and the torsion spring 504, respectively. The traction rope 602 is threaded on the second channel 506.

[0062] Based on the above design, the first winch 531 is connected to the transmission unit 520 via a transmission gear ring. When the rotation direction of the transmission unit 520 changes, the rotation direction of the first winch 531 also changes, thereby realizing the winding and unwinding of the take-up rope 601 and the traction rope 602. The second winch 532 is fixed to the first winch 531, and the second winch 532 is provided with a first storage slot 501 and a second storage slot 502, realizing the connection between the take-up and unwinding unit 530 and the take-up and unwinding rope 601 and the traction rope 602. Meanwhile, as... Figure 4 As shown, the outer diameter of the first storage slot 501 is larger than the outer diameter of the second storage slot 502, so that the release and take-up speeds of the release and take-up rope 601 and the traction rope 602 are different, forming a speed difference, so as to facilitate the opening and closing of the umbrella.

[0063] The flexible variable diameter clamp 533 serves two purposes: firstly, it creates a variable diameter gap to provide sufficient space for storing the take-up and release rope 601; secondly, the flexible variable diameter clamp 533 is elastic, allowing it to press the take-up and release rope 601 tightly. It can work in conjunction with the locking unit 540 to fix the position of the take-up and release rope 601, and it can also adjust the size of the variable diameter gap according to the number of turns of the take-up and release rope 601 stored, making it flexible and convenient to use.

[0064] Meanwhile, the position of the opening of the elastic variable diameter clamp 533 is fixed by the reinforcing pressure spring 503 to ensure that the opening width of the elastic variable diameter clamp 533 is constant. The torsion spring 504 is located in the opening and is used to form the first channel 505 and the second channel 506, so that the take-up rope 601 and the traction rope 602 are separated from each other, reducing entanglement and ensuring the smoothness of take-up and take-up of the take-up rope 601 and the traction rope 602. The torsion spring 504 can also press against the take-up rope 601, and when the take-up rope 601 is released, it plays a role in straightening the shape of the take-up rope 601, so that the take-up rope 601 is as vertical as possible.

[0065] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, a tension spring 507 is also provided on the opening of the elastic variable diameter clamp 533, with both ends of the tension spring 507 abutting against the opening of the elastic variable diameter clamp 533. Based on this, the tension spring 507 abuts against the opening to prevent the opening of the elastic variable diameter clamp 533 from shrinking or closing.

[0066] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the locking unit 540 includes an outer cover 541, an inner cover 542, a clamping bead 543, a drive plate 544, and a return spring 545;

[0067] The outer cover 541 is constructed as a conical cover fixed inside the umbrella handle 100, with the small diameter end of the outer cover 541 facing the retractable unit 530 and the large diameter end of the outer cover 541 facing the end of the umbrella handle 100.

[0068] The inner cover 542 is a conical cover that is slidably disposed inside the outer cover 541. The small diameter end of the inner cover 542 faces the storage unit 530, and there is a gap between the small diameter end of the outer cover 541 and the small diameter end of the inner cover 542. The large diameter end of the inner cover 542 abuts against the end of the umbrella handle 100 through a return spring 545.

[0069] Several clamping beads 543 are provided and placed inside the inner cover 542. The inner periphery of the clamping beads 543 forms a clamping hole, and the outer periphery of the clamping beads 543 passes through the inner cover 542 and abuts against the outer cover 541.

[0070] The drive plate 544 is rotatably mounted on the umbrella handle 100. One end of the drive plate 544 extends through the umbrella handle 100, and the other end of the drive plate 544 extends through the outer cover 541 into the gap. The drive plate 544 abuts against the small diameter end of the inner cover 542.

[0071] Based on the above design, the user operates the drive plate 544 to push the inner cover 542 towards the larger diameter end of the outer cover 541, increasing the gap between the outer cover 541 and the inner cover 542. At this time, the clamping beads 543 move away from each other, and the diameter of the clamping hole increases to facilitate the movement of the retractable rope 601; the return spring 545 is compressed and retracted. Conversely, when the user releases the drive plate 544, the drive plate 544 returns to its original position, the return spring 545 returns to its original position and pushes the inner cover 542 towards the smaller diameter end of the outer cover 541, decreasing the gap between the outer cover 541 and the inner cover 542, bringing the clamping beads 543 closer together, decreasing the diameter of the clamping hole, and clamping and fixing the retractable rope 601.

[0072] In one possible implementation, the transmission unit 520 includes at least one transmission gear 521. Based on the above design, the transmission gear 521 can be any suitable commercially available model, and the present invention does not impose any limitation on it. Optionally, as Figure 1 As shown, the transmission unit 520 includes two transmission gears 521.

[0073] In one possible implementation, the drive unit 510 includes a battery 511 and a motor 512. The battery 511 is electrically connected to the motor 512, and the output end of the motor 512 is connected to the transmission unit 520. Correspondingly, the umbrella handle 100 is provided with a charging port 101 electrically connected to the battery 511. Based on the above design, the battery 511 supplies power to the motor 512 and charges it through the charging port 101. Any suitable model of motor 512 capable of forward and reverse rotation can be selected.

[0074] In one possible implementation, the take-up / release rope 601 is made of steel wire rope. Based on the above design, the steel wire rope is both rigid and flexible, meeting the design requirements. It is readily understood that the take-up / release rope 601 can also be made of any other suitable material.

[0075] Existing umbrellas, whether manual or automatic, reach their minimum length when folded, but this still presents a problem of inconvenience, requiring the user to hold the umbrella with one hand. Therefore, in one possible implementation, the umbrella handle 100 includes a fixed portion 110 and a movable portion 120. The fixed portion 110 has two opposing ends, one connected to the telescopic rod 200 and the other to the movable portion 120. The movable portion 120 is hinged to the fixed portion 110, and can rotate around the hinge point to fold or unfold the umbrella handle 100. Accordingly, a drive unit 510 is located within the movable portion 120, a folding / unfolding unit 530 and a locking unit 540 are located within the fixed portion 110, and a transmission unit 520 includes two transmission gears 521, one located within the fixed portion 110 and the other within the movable portion 120.

[0076] Based on the above design, the connection between the fixed part 110 and the movable part 120 is achieved by hinge, which also allows the movable part 120 to rotate relative to the fixed part 110, thereby further reducing the length of the umbrella handle 100. This makes it easier for users to place the two-way automatic umbrella in a small shoulder bag, handbag, or other bag, freeing up the user's hands and improving the convenience of using the two-way automatic umbrella.

[0077] Preferably, the fixed part 110 and the movable part 120 are respectively provided with magnetic attraction parts 105. When the umbrella handle 100 is folded, the two magnetic attraction parts 105 face each other and are magnetically connected. Based on the above design, the magnetic force of the magnetic attraction parts 105 provides additional force to keep the umbrella handle 100 stably in the folded state.

[0078] In one possible implementation, the movable part 120 has two opposing ends, one end of which is hinged to the fixed part 110, and the other end is equipped with a lighting lamp 102, a reflector 103, and an inverted hanging tooth 104. Based on the above design, when the bidirectional automatic umbrella is used outdoors or in the field, the lighting lamp 102 is used for illumination, making it easier for the user to observe road conditions. At the same time, in case of an emergency, both the lighting lamp 102 and the reflector 103 can be used to send out a life-saving signal. After the umbrella handle 100 is folded, the fixed part 110 and the movable part 120 form a hook-like structure to facilitate the hanging of the bidirectional automatic umbrella. Meanwhile, the inverted hanging tooth 104 can effectively increase the stability of the connection and improve the stability of placement.

[0079] like Figure 6 As shown, a first circuit is provided between the battery 511 and the motor 512. A normally closed switch K0 is connected in series on the first circuit. A forward switch and a reverse switch are also connected in parallel on the first circuit. The forward switch includes normally open switches K1 and K2, and normally open switches K3 and K4. The battery 511 is connected in parallel with the charging port 101. The battery 511 is also connected to a second circuit. A lighting lamp 102 and a lighting switch K5 are connected in series on the second circuit.

[0080] As is easy to understand, normally closed switch K0, normally open switch K1, normally open switch K2, normally open switch K3, normally open switch K4 and lighting switch K5 can be set at any suitable position on the umbrella handle 100.

[0081] In this embodiment, the push frame 330 includes a base frame 331 and a push rod 332. The inner periphery of the base frame 331 is provided with a sliding hole adapted to the telescopic rod 200. The outer periphery of the base frame 331 is hinged to the push rod 332. One end of the push rod 332 is hinged to the base frame 331, and the other end of the push rod 332 is hinged to the folding rod 320. There are several push rods 332, which are arranged one-to-one with the folding rods 320.

[0082] Based on the above design, the base frame 331 can be constructed into any suitable shape, the push rod 332 can move with the base frame 331, and when the base frame 331 moves toward the fixed plate 310, the push rod 332 rotates and drives the folding rod 320 to rotate, thereby opening the umbrella ribs 300.

[0083] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
