Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shared umbrellas, and particularly to a multifunctional shared umbrella. Background Art

[0002] Shared umbrellas refer to the sharing service of umbrellas provided by enterprises in public places such as subway stations, commercial areas, residential areas, campuses, hotels, etc. Users can quickly complete the borrowing and returning operations of umbrellas by scanning the QR code on the borrowing and returning terminal, realizing borrowing and returning at any time. As a new type of sharing economy model, although shared umbrellas face some challenges, their advantages such as convenience, flexibility, and intelligence still make them have broad market prospects and development potential.

[0003] Existing shared umbrellas have the following disadvantages: First, since shared umbrellas are for the general public, the heights, body types, and usage habits of users vary greatly, and the demand for the length of the umbrella pole naturally also has significant differences; however, existing shared umbrellas generally adopt the design of a fixed-length umbrella pole, which to a certain extent limits their adaptability and user experience; for users who are taller or shorter, the non-adjustability of the umbrella pole length may cause inconvenience and affect their comfort when using the umbrella; Second, under windy weather conditions, the stability of the umbrella surface of shared umbrellas has also become a prominent problem. When traditional umbrellas encounter strong winds, they cannot automatically adjust the angle of the umbrella surface to tilt moderately towards the windward side to reduce wind resistance and maintain the stability of the umbrella surface. When the wind force is relatively large, the umbrella surface is prone to being blown over due to the inability to automatically tilt, thus increasing the risk of being overturned.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A multifunctional shared umbrella, including an umbrella pole, one end of the umbrella pole is fixedly connected with a sliding rod, the bottom end of the sliding rod is provided with an umbrella handle, and the sliding rod is sleeved inside the umbrella handle. A first gear is arranged inside the umbrella handle, the first gear is meshed with a toothed plate, and the toothed plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the umbrella handle. The toothed plate is fixedly connected with a connecting rod, and the connecting rod is slidably connected inside the umbrella handle. The other end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the sliding rod.

[0006] As a further technical solution of the present invention, one end of the umbrella pole is hinged with a ball joint, the ball joint is fixedly connected with an umbrella surface, and the umbrella surface is fixedly connected with a skeleton.

The other end of the connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 5; one end of the umbrella rod 1 is hinged with a ball joint 3, an umbrella surface 2 is fixedly connected to the ball joint 3, a framework 4 is fixedly connected to the umbrella surface 2, the ball joint 3 is used to connect the umbrella rod 1 and the umbrella surface 2, and the framework 4 is used to support the umbrella surface 2; a second gear 16 is meshed with the first gear 10, a second rotating shaft 17 is fixedly connected to the second gear 16, a second fixed seat 14 is arranged on the outer wall of the umbrella rod 1, and the second rotating shaft 17 is rotatably connected to the second fixed seat 14, and the second fixed seat 14 is used to fix the second rotating shaft 17; a rotating plate 15 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 17, a handle 18 is arranged on the outer wall of one side of the rotating plate 15, a limiting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the umbrella handle 6, a spring 9 is arranged on one side of the limiting plate 8, and the spring 9 is sleeved on the connecting rod 7. The spring 9 is used to provide elastic potential energy for automatic reset, and the rotating plate 15 is used to drive the second gear 16 to rotate; a clamping seat 19 is arranged on the outer wall of the umbrella handle 6 corresponding to the position of the rotating plate 15, elastic clamping blocks 22 are arranged on the outer walls of both sides of the rotating plate 15, and the elastic clamping blocks 22 are clamped on the clamping seat 19, and the clamping seat 19 is used to fix the rotating plate 15; first fixed seats 13 are arranged on the outer walls of both sides of the umbrella handle 6, a first rotating shaft 11 is fixedly connected to the first gear 10, and the first rotating shaft 11 is rotatably connected to the first fixed seat 13, and the first fixed seat 13 is used to fix the first rotating shaft 11; a protective pad 20 is sleeved on the umbrella handle 6, a plug 21 is sleeved on one end of the umbrella handle 6, the protective pad 20 is used to hold the umbrella handle 6, and the plug 21 is used to block the end face of the umbrella handle 6.

[0024] Working principle: When using the present invention, when it is necessary to adjust the length of the umbrella rod 1, the rotating plate 15 can be toggled by the toggle 18. The rotating plate 15 drives the second gear 16 to rotate through the second fixed seat 14 and the second rotating shaft 17. The second gear 16 drives the meshing first gear 10 to rotate. The first gear 10 rotates through the first rotating shaft 11 and the first fixed seat 13. The first gear 10 drives the toothed plate 12 to slide upward in the umbrella handle 6. The toothed plate 12 drives the connecting rod 7 to move upward, and then drives the sliding rod 5 on the umbrella rod 1 connected thereto to extend out of the umbrella handle 6 to achieve the purpose of extending the umbrella rod 1. Then, the rotating plate 15 is buckled and fixed on the card seat 19 by the elastic clamping block 22. At the same time, the spring 9 between the limiting plate 8 and the table surface of the connecting rod 7 is compressed. When it is necessary to shorten the umbrella rod 1, the rotating plate 15 is pulled out from the card seat 19 by the toggle 18. Under the reset action of the spring 9, the connecting rod 7 pushes the toothed plate 12 to move downward, and at the same time drives the rotating plate 15 to reset through the first gear 10. When encountering strong wind during the use process, the umbrella rod 1 is connected to the umbrella surface 2 through the ball hinge 3. According to Bernoulli's law, the pressure of the fluid is small where the flow velocity is large, and the pressure is large where the flow velocity is small. When the wind blows over the umbrella surface 2, the air flow velocity above the umbrella surface 2 increases, resulting in a decrease in pressure, while the air flow velocity below the umbrella surface 2 is relatively small and the pressure is relatively large. Therefore, a pressure difference is formed between the upper and lower surfaces of the umbrella surface 2. This pressure difference will drive the umbrella surface 2 to deflect towards the side with lower pressure, thereby realizing that the umbrella surface 2 automatically biases towards the windward side, which helps to resist wind and rain and prevent the umbrella from being blown over; wherein the skeleton 4 is used to support the umbrella surface 2, the protective pad 20 is used to hold the umbrella handle 6, and the plug 21 is used to block the end surface of the umbrella handle 6.
