Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an umbrella, more specifically, to a full-automatic electric umbrella, belonging to the field of umbrellas. Background Art

[0002] It is difficult to open and close a traditional umbrella with one hand, which is often a rigid demand in many real-life scenarios. The mainstream and more convenient "fully automatic umbrella" on the market can only open the umbrella automatically, but cannot close it automatically, so it cannot be considered a "fully automatic umbrella" in the true sense. To be precise, the premise for this kind of umbrella to use the elastic force of the spring to push the slider up and down is that people first give the spring a large elastic potential energy to compress the spring. On the one hand, this requires the user to have certain physical conditions. At the same time, the faster opening and closing of the umbrella under the action of the spring will cause certain negative effects on the people around it, such as splashing or touching. In addition, the elastic coefficient of the spring will also decrease over time, affecting the performance of the umbrella. If there is an umbrella that can open and close the umbrella with one button, it will greatly improve the scene matching ability of the umbrella, making the process of people using the umbrella more convenient and easy, and its market value and social value have obvious positive significance.

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] In the description of the invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the invention.

[0031] In the description of the invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "setting", "connection", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0032] The creativity of the present invention lies in utilizing a screw nut limiting tube mechanism to realize the "upward movement" and "downward movement" of the slider through a motor and a coupling drive to replace the traditional umbrella method of using manpower to push the slider to move; it can be used with one hand, which is labor-saving and convenient, and the Bluetooth-controlled wireless umbrella opening and closing operation can meet the usage requirements under specific conditions.

[0033] Principle: The electric motor 3.6 transmits the torque to the screw 3.3 through the coupling 3. The screw 3.3 rotates to make the slider (nut 3.5) move up and down in the limit tube 3.1. The slider (nut 3.5) is rigidly connected with the slide bar 1.1 and moves up and down together, driving the umbrella ribs 2 to move, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the umbrella ribs 2.

[0034] In the present application, the position of the electric mechanism 3 can be changed according to the difference in the structure of the ribs 2 of the umbrella. Specifically, when the ribs 2 are designed with multiple sections, and the sliding rod 1.1 on the umbrella pole 1 needs to have a smaller moving range for opening and closing the umbrella, the electric motor 3.6 and the screw rod 3.3 and other structures can be designed to be located in the middle and upper part of the umbrella pole 1, and in this case, the umbrella pole 1 only needs the screw rod 3.3 structure in the middle and upper part; when the ribs 2 are designed with single sections, and the sliding rod 1.1 on the umbrella pole 1 needs to have a larger moving range for opening and closing the umbrella, the electric motor 3.6 is preferably arranged in the umbrella handle 4, and in this case, the umbrella pole 1 only needs the screw rod 3.3 structure in the middle and lower part.

[0035] When the umbrella rib 2 is a single section, if the electric motor 3.6 and the screw rod 3.3 and other structures need to be designed to be located in the upper middle part of the umbrella rod 1, it is necessary to open a plurality of strip grooves at the upper end of the limiting tube 3.1, and the plurality of strip grooves correspond to a plurality of support rods one by one, so that when the sliding rod 1.1 slides down, the support rods on the umbrella rib 2 can move downward, and the sliding rod 1.1 can be completely embedded in the limiting tube 3.1.

[0036] The use of the present invention is as follows Figures 3 to 16 As shown, the forward and reverse rotation of the electric motor 3.6 is achieved by controlling the switch 4.2, thereby achieving the effect of the slider 1.1 rising and falling.

[0037] The present invention discloses a fully automatic electric umbrella, comprising an umbrella pole 1, umbrella ribs 2, and an umbrella handle 4, wherein the umbrella ribs 2 are covered and connected with a rainproof layer, the umbrella pole 1 is slidably sleeved with a sliding rod 1.1, a plurality of umbrella ribs 2 are hinged around the upper end of the umbrella pole 1, each umbrella pole 1 is hinged with a supporting rod, and the supporting rod is hinged around the top of the sliding rod 1.1, and the umbrella ribs 2 are opened and closed by sliding up and down along the umbrella pole 1 through the sliding rod 1.1, and the umbrella handle 4 is connected with an electric mechanism 3, and the electric mechanism 3 can be linked with the sliding rod 1.1 to drive it to automatically slide up and down on the umbrella pole 1.

[0038] From top to bottom, the umbrella rod 1 includes a top rod 1.2 and a screw rod 3.3. The bottom of the top rod 1.2 and the top of the screw rod 3.3 are separated to prevent the screw rod 3.3 from rotating and driving the top rod 1.2 to rotate. The bottom of the screw rod 3.3 is connected to the umbrella handle 4. The electric mechanism 3 includes an electric motor 3.6 connected to the umbrella handle 4.

The bottom of the limiting tube 3.1 is connected to the umbrella handle 4. From top to bottom, a track groove is provided in the limiting tube 3.1. The track groove is slidably provided with a slider, and the slider is threadedly connected to the screw rod 3.3. The lower end of the slide rod 1.1 is connected to the slider to achieve an indirect connection between the top rod 1.2 and the screw rod 3.3. The aperture of the slide bar 1.1 is matched with the diameter of the top rod 1.2 to achieve sliding without shaking. The aperture of the slide bar 1.1 is larger than the diameter of the screw rod 3.3 to achieve that the screw rod 3.3 can enter the interior of the slide bar 1.1.

[0039] The umbrella handle 4 includes a metal cylindrical handle 4.1 and a micro switch button 4.2. The handle 4.1 is provided with a Type-C charging interface. The electric motor 3.6 is fixed with a motor sleeve 3.4. The motor sleeve 3.4 is connected to the screw rod 3.3. The handle 4.1 is provided with a controller 4.3 and a power supply 4.4.
