Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of corner assembly, in particular to a corner assembly for outdoor sunshade. BACKGROUND

[0002] Aluminum alloy outdoor sunshades are widely used in courtyards, terraces, commercial streets and other places due to their light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance and other advantages. During the installation of the sunshade, the butt joint between the cross beams is a key link, especially the butt joint processing at the sharp corner of the cross beam, which directly affects the overall safety, aesthetics and service life of the sunshade.

[0003] Currently, the traditional cross beam butt joint method has many problems.

The end of the cross plate away from the threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the guide cylinder.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0019] This invention provides a corner-wrapping component for outdoor awnings. By fitting the corner-wrapping sleeves onto the ends of the first and second crossbeams, the sleeves directly cover the sharp corners of the crossbeams, avoiding the problem of exposed sharp corners that can easily scratch people in traditional crossbeam joints, significantly improving safety. At the same time, it covers the exposed seams at the crossbeam joints, making the overall appearance of the awning more harmonious and unified, effectively improving the poor aesthetics of traditional joint structures.

[0020] This invention provides a corner protector assembly for outdoor awnings. Through a snap-fit ​​mechanism, when the plug is inserted into the through-hole circular groove in the center of the corner protector, the elastic plate on the inner wall of the groove snaps into the annular retaining groove on the outer wall of the plug. Simultaneously, the U-shaped anti-misalignment block on the outer wall of the plug precisely engages with the mating groove on the inner wall of the circular groove. This quickly completes the positioning and snap-fit ​​of the plug and corner protector, preventing misalignment during installation and significantly improving assembly efficiency. It also initially enhances the stability of the connection. During this process, the locking plate connected to the plug engages with the first and second crossbeams. The insert plates on both sides of the locking plate are inserted into the two crossbeams and press against the inner wall of the top of the crossbeams. The fixing screw is then passed through the assembly groove at the top of the insert plate, and fixing nuts are screwed onto both ends of the fixing screw. The limiting ring plate at the bottom end of the fixing screw presses against the outer wall of the bottom of the crossbeam. This bidirectional clamping method significantly enhances the connection stability between the corner protector and the crossbeams, effectively preventing loosening during use.

[0021] This invention provides a corner protector assembly for outdoor awnings. Through a locking mechanism, during the tightening of the fixing nut, the fixing nut presses against a pad. The pad, via a second connecting post and a first connecting post, drives a spring inside the sliding plate compression plug. The elastic reaction force generated by the spring counteracts gaps caused by vibration during installation or outdoor use, achieving buffering compensation and further ensuring the tightness of the connection between the corner protector and the crossbeam. This reduces component wear and extends the overall service life of the assembly. Simultaneously, when the first and second crossbeams are subsequently disassembled, the spring's return force allows for quick unlocking of the locking mechanism, facilitating subsequent maintenance of the entire corner protector assembly. During maintenance or replacement, as the first connecting post moves downward, the annular plates evenly distributed on its outer circumference drive the meshing gear post to rotate. The gear post drives the first rotating post inside to rotate, which in turn drives the meshing first gear disc and second rotating post to rotate. The first gear disc then pushes the meshing toothed plate to move. The slot opened inside the plug cooperates with the slider at the bottom of the toothed plate and the limiting groove at the bottom of the slot to ensure stable lateral movement of the toothed plate and avoid toothed plate offset affecting subsequent transmission accuracy. During the lateral movement of the toothed plate, it passes through the inside of the corner sleeve, thereby realizing a tight connection between the corner sleeve and the plug and ensuring the stability of the connection between the corner sleeve and the entire locking assembly.

[0022] This invention provides a corner-wrapping assembly for outdoor awnings. Through the use of locking pins and positioning holes, when one end of the toothed plate extends into the housing at the bottom of one of the insert plates, it meshes with the second gear disc on the third rotating column inside the housing. This drives the third rotating column and worm gear to rotate. The worm gear drives the meshing worm wheel and the fourth rotating column to rotate, and the threaded screw at the bottom of the fourth rotating column rotates accordingly. The threaded screw drives the external threaded sleeve and the connected cross plate to move. The guide pin inside the housing slides with the guide cylinder at the other end of the cross plate, ensuring smooth movement of the cross plate. Finally, the locking pins evenly distributed at the top of the cross plate accurately insert into the positioning holes at the top of the second cross beam and the bottom of the first cross beam, forming a multi-point locking structure. Compared to the traditional single-connection method, this effectively improves the overall strength and stability of the cross beam connection, enabling the assembly to better cope with the influence of complex environmental factors such as outdoor wind and vibration, ensuring the long-term reliable use of the awning.

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] Please see Figures 1-12 An outdoor sunshade awning corner assembly includes a corner sleeve 2 disposed at the ends of a first crossbeam 1 and a second crossbeam 7. The corner sleeve 2 cooperates with the ends of the first crossbeam 1 and the second crossbeam 7. Both the upper and lower ends of the corner sleeve 2 are provided with locking components to ensure a stable connection between it and the first crossbeam 1 and the second crossbeam 7.

[0040] The corner sleeve 2 is internally provided with a snap-fit ​​component that is securely connected to the locking component;

[0041] The corner sleeve 2 has a through-hole circular groove 12 in the middle. The locking component is inserted into the inside of the circular groove 12, which can form a multi-point locking structure. Compared with the traditional single docking method, it effectively improves the overall strength and stability of the beam docking, so that the component can better cope with the influence of complex environmental factors such as outdoor wind and vibration, and ensure the long-term reliable use of the sunshade.

[0042] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a plug 14 inserted into the circular groove 12. A locking piece 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the plug 14 away from the interior of the circular groove 12. The locking piece 6 engages with both the first crossbeam 1 and the second crossbeam 7. Insert plates 11 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the locking piece 6. The two insert plates 11 are respectively inserted into the interior of the first crossbeam 1 and the second crossbeam 7. The top outer walls of the two insert plates 11 abut against the top inner walls of the first crossbeam 1 and the second crossbeam 7, respectively. Both insert plates 11 have openings at their tops. There is an assembly slot 28, and a fixing screw 3 is inserted into the assembly slot 28. Both ends of the fixing screw 3 are threaded with fixing nuts 4. The locking plate 6 connected to the plug 14 will form a snap-fit ​​engagement with the first crossbeam 1 and the second crossbeam 7. The insert plates 11 on both sides of the locking plate 6 are inserted into the two crossbeams respectively and pressed against the inner wall of the top of the crossbeam. Then, the fixing screw 3 is passed through the assembly slot 28 at the top of the insert plate 11, and the fixing nuts 4 are screwed on both ends of the fixing screw 3, thus realizing the initial fastening connection between the locking component and the corner sleeve 2.

[0043] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​assembly includes an elastic piece 21 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular groove 12, an annular retaining groove 15 on the outer wall of the plug 14, one end of the elastic piece 21 being located inside the annular retaining groove 15, a mating groove 13 on the inner wall of the circular groove 12, and an anti-misalignment block 43 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the plug 14. The anti-misalignment block 43 has a U-shaped cross-section. When the operator inserts the plug 14 into the through circular groove 12 in the middle of the corner sleeve 2, the elastic piece 21 on the inner wall of the circular groove 12 will snap into the annular retaining groove 15 on the outer wall of the plug 14. At the same time, the U-shaped anti-misalignment block 43 on the outer wall of the plug 14 and the mating groove 13 on the inner wall of the circular groove 12 precisely cooperate, which can quickly complete the positioning and snap-fit ​​of the plug 14 and the corner sleeve 2, prevent misalignment during installation, greatly improve assembly efficiency, and initially enhance the stability of the connection between the two.

[0044] Furthermore, a limiting ring plate 16 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the fixing screw 3 at the bottom of the first crossbeam 1 and the second crossbeam 7. The limiting ring plate 16 abuts against the bottom outer wall of the first crossbeam 1 and the second crossbeam 7. The limiting ring plate 16 at the bottom end of the fixing screw 3 abuts against the bottom outer wall of the crossbeam. Through the bidirectional clamping method, the connection stability between the corner sleeve 2 and the crossbeam is greatly enhanced, effectively preventing loosening during use.

[0045] Furthermore, the plug 14 has an internal mounting groove 19. A spring 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the mounting groove 19. A slide plate 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the spring 20. A first connecting post 17 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the slide plate 25. A second connecting post 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the first connecting post 17. A pad 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the second connecting post 22 that extends to the top of the locking piece 6. A fixing nut 4 is pressed against the top outer wall of the pad 5. During the tightening of the fixing nut 4, the fixing nut 4 will press the pad 5. The pad 5 is connected to the second connecting post 22. The column 22 and the first connecting column 17 drive the slide plate 25 to compress the spring 20 inside the plug 14. The elastic reaction force generated by the spring 20 can offset the gap caused by vibration during installation or outdoor use, realize buffer compensation, further ensure the tightness of the connection between the corner sleeve 2 and the crossbeam, reduce component wear, and extend the service life of the entire assembly. At the same time, when the first crossbeam 1 and the second crossbeam 7 are disassembled later, the spring 20 will also realize the quick unlocking of the locking assembly through the elastic force generated by its reset, which is convenient for subsequent maintenance or replacement of the entire corner assembly by the staff.

[0046] Furthermore, the outer circumferential wall of the first connecting post 17 is fixedly connected to equidistantly distributed annular plates 18, which mesh with gear posts 23. The inner circumferential wall of the gear posts 23 is fixedly connected to a first rotating post 24, which is rotatably connected inside the mounting groove 19. The outer circumferential wall of the first rotating post 24 meshes with a first gear disk 29, and the inner circumferential wall of the first gear disk 29 is fixedly connected to a second rotating post 26. Both ends of the second rotating post 26 are rotatably connected to the mounting groove 19. The thickness of the first gear disk 29 is less than the thickness of the gear post 23, and the outer circumferential wall of the first gear disk 29 meshes with toothed plates. 32. One end of the toothed plate 32 passes through the inside of the corner sleeve 2. As the first connecting post 17 moves down, the annular plates 18 distributed at equal intervals on its outer circumference drive the meshing gear post 23 to rotate. The gear post 23 drives the first rotating post 24 inside to rotate. The first rotating post 24 then drives the first gear disk 29 and the second rotating post 26 meshing with it to rotate. The first gear disk 29 then pushes the meshing toothed plate 32 to move. During the lateral movement of the toothed plate 32, it passes through the inside of the corner sleeve 2, thereby achieving a tight connection between the corner sleeve 2 and the plug 14, ensuring the stability of the connection between the corner sleeve 2 and the entire locking assembly.

[0047] Furthermore, the plug 14 has a slot 30 inside to ensure the stable lateral movement of the toothed plate 32. The specifications of the slot 30 are compatible with the specifications of the toothed plate 32. A limiting groove 31 is provided on the bottom inner wall of the slot 30. A slider 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the toothed plate 32. The slider 33 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 31. The slot 30 inside the plug 14 cooperates with the slider 33 at the bottom of the toothed plate 32 and the limiting groove 31 at the bottom of the slot 30 to ensure the stable lateral movement of the toothed plate 32 and prevent the toothed plate 32 from deviating and affecting the subsequent transmission accuracy.

[0048] Furthermore, a housing 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of an insert plate 11. A third rotating column 27 is rotatably connected inside the housing 10. A second gear disk 39 and a worm gear 40 are fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the third rotating column 27. The second gear disk 39 meshes with a toothed plate 32 extending into the housing 10. A worm wheel 42 meshes with the outer circumference of the worm gear 40. A fourth rotating column 41 is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the worm wheel 42. A threaded screw is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fourth rotating column 41. 37. A threaded sleeve 38 is threadedly connected to the outer circumference of the threaded screw 37. A horizontal plate 36 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the threaded sleeve 38. A retaining post 8 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the horizontal plate 36 at equal intervals. The retaining post 8 cooperates with the positioning holes 9 opened at the top of the second horizontal beam 7 and the bottom of the first horizontal beam 1. A guide post 35 is fixedly connected to the inside of the housing 10. A guide cylinder 34 is slidably connected to the outer circumference of the guide post 35. The end of the horizontal plate 36 away from the threaded sleeve 38 is fixedly connected to the guide cylinder. On one side of the outer wall of 34, as one end of the toothed plate 32 extends into the housing 10 at the bottom of one of the insert plates 11, it meshes with the second gear disk 39 on the third rotating column 27 inside the housing 10, driving the third rotating column 27 and the worm 40 to rotate. The worm 40 drives the meshing worm wheel 42 and the fourth rotating column 41 to rotate. The threaded screw 37 at the bottom of the fourth rotating column 41 rotates accordingly. The threaded screw 37 drives the external threaded sleeve 38 and the connected cross plate 36 to move. The guide post 35 inside the housing 10 slides with the guide cylinder 34 at the other end of the cross plate 36 to ensure the smooth movement of the cross plate 36. Finally, the locking posts 8 evenly distributed at the top of the cross plate 36 will be precisely inserted into the positioning holes 9 at the top of the second cross beam 7 and the bottom of the first cross beam 1, forming a multi-point locking structure. Compared with the traditional single docking method, this effectively improves the overall strength and stability of the cross beam docking, enabling the components to better cope with the influence of complex environmental factors such as outdoor wind and vibration, and ensuring the long-term reliable use of the sunshade.

[0049] In summary, with the help of the above-mentioned technical solution of the present invention, when the corner protector assembly for connecting the crossbeams of the aluminum alloy outdoor sunshade is in operation, the corner protector 2 is first fitted onto the ends of the first crossbeam 1 and the second crossbeam 7. The corner protector 2 can directly wrap the sharp corners of the crossbeams, avoiding the problem of sharp corners being exposed and easily scratching people in traditional crossbeam connections, significantly improving the safety of use. At the same time, it covers the exposed seams at the crossbeam connection, making the overall appearance of the sunshade more coordinated and unified, effectively improving the defect of poor aesthetics in traditional connection structures.

[0050] Next, the locking assembly is installed to achieve initial fixation. The plug 14 is inserted into the through-hole circular groove 12 in the middle of the corner sleeve 2. The elastic piece 21 on the inner circumference of the groove 12 engages with the annular retaining groove 15 on the outer wall of the plug 14. Simultaneously, the U-shaped anti-misalignment block 43 on the outer wall of the plug 14 precisely matches the mating groove 13 on the inner wall of the groove 12. This quickly completes the positioning and engagement of the plug 14 and the corner sleeve 2, preventing misalignment during installation and significantly improving assembly efficiency. It also initially enhances the stability of the connection between the two. During this process, the plug 14... The connected locking plate 6 will form a snap-fit ​​engagement with the first crossbeam 1 and the second crossbeam 7. The insert plates 11 on both sides of the locking plate 6 are inserted into the two crossbeams respectively and pressed against the inner wall of the top of the crossbeam. Then, the fixing screw 3 is passed through the assembly groove 28 at the top of the insert plate 11. Fixing nuts 4 are screwed on both ends of the fixing screw 3. The limiting ring plate 16 at the bottom end of the fixing screw 3 will press against the outer wall of the bottom of the crossbeam. Through the bidirectional clamping method, the connection stability between the corner sleeve 2 and the crossbeam is greatly enhanced, effectively preventing loosening during use.

[0051] During the tightening of the fixing nut 4, the fixing nut 4 presses against the pad 5. The pad 5, through the second connecting post 22 and the first connecting post 17, drives the slide plate 25 to compress the spring 20 inside the plug 14. The elastic reaction force generated by the spring 20 can offset the gap caused by vibration during installation or outdoor use, achieving buffer compensation, further ensuring the tightness of the connection between the corner sleeve 2 and the crossbeam, reducing component wear, and extending the service life of the entire assembly. At the same time, the spring 20 will also achieve quick unlocking of the locking assembly through the elastic force generated by its reset when the first crossbeam 1 and the second crossbeam 7 are subsequently disassembled, facilitating subsequent maintenance or replacement of the entire corner sleeve assembly. As the first connecting post 17 moves down, its circumferential outer wall is equidistant. The distributed annular plate 18 drives the meshing gear column 23 to rotate, the gear column 23 drives the internal first rotating column 24 to rotate, the first rotating column 24 drives the meshing first gear disk 29 and second rotating column 26 to rotate, the first gear disk 29 then pushes the meshing tooth plate 32 to move. The slot 30 opened inside the plug 14 cooperates with the slider 33 at the bottom of the tooth plate 32 and the limiting groove 31 at the bottom of the slot 30 to ensure the stable lateral movement of the tooth plate 32 and avoid the tooth plate 32 from deviating and affecting the subsequent transmission accuracy. During the lateral movement of the tooth plate 32, it will pass through the inside of the corner sleeve 2, thereby realizing the tight connection between the corner sleeve 2 and the plug 14 and ensuring the stability of the connection between the corner sleeve 2 and the entire locking assembly.

[0052] As one end of the toothed plate 32 extends into the housing 10 at the bottom of one of the insert plates 11, it meshes with the second gear disk 39 on the third rotating column 27 inside the housing 10, driving the third rotating column 27 and the worm 40 to rotate. The worm 40 drives the meshing worm wheel 42 and the fourth rotating column 41 to rotate, and the threaded screw 37 at the bottom of the fourth rotating column 41 rotates accordingly. The threaded screw 37 drives the external threaded sleeve 38 and the connected cross plate 36 to move. The guide post 35 inside the housing 10 slides with the guide cylinder 34 at the other end of the cross plate 36 to ensure the smooth movement of the cross plate 36. Finally, the locking posts 8 evenly distributed at the top of the cross plate 36 will be precisely inserted into the positioning holes 9 at the top of the second cross beam 7 and the bottom of the first cross beam 1, forming a multi-point locking structure. Compared with the traditional single docking method, this effectively improves the overall strength and stability of the cross beam docking, enabling the components to better cope with the influence of complex environmental factors such as outdoor wind and vibration, and ensuring the long-term reliable use of the sunshade.
