Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present invention more readily understood, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0019] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments. Example

[0020] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a multifunctional umbrella with a light guide strip, including: Base 1; Support rod 3 is fixedly installed on the top of base 1 via connector 2; Adjustment component 9 is located on the left side inside the support rod 3; Install component 17, which is located to the left of adjustment component 9; Light guide strip 14 is fixedly installed on the front side of mounting assembly 17; Umbrella rib assembly 18 is located on the right side of the top of the support rod 3; The umbrella fabric 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the umbrella rib assembly 18.

[0021] For example, the adjustment component 9 includes a connecting groove 91, a slider 92 is slidably connected inside the connecting groove 91, a threaded hole 93 is provided on the front side inside the slider 92, and a locking bolt 94 is provided on the front side of the slider 92 and outside the support rod 3.

[0022] Furthermore, the umbrella fabric 8 is fixed to the top of the support 6. It is made of 210D waterproof Oxford cloth, with a PU waterproof coating sprayed on the surface and a silver coating attached to the inside. The edges are reinforced with binding and stitching.

[0023] For example, the mounting component 17 includes a fixing block 10, with an insertion hole 11 at the top inside the fixing block 10, a first magnet 12 fixedly installed at the bottom inside the insertion hole 11, a collar 13 on the left side of the fixing block 10, an insertion block 15 fixedly connected to the top inside the collar 13, and a second magnet 16 fixedly installed at the bottom of the insertion block 15.

[0024] Furthermore, the connecting handle 4 is a cylindrical structure made of soft TPR rubber. Its inner wall is fitted with the support rod 3 with a gap, allowing it to slide up and down along the support rod to control the unfolding or folding of the umbrella ribs. The bottom is equipped with an elastic buckle, which engages with the positioning hole of the support rod 3 when slid to the designated position, thus fixing the umbrella ribs after they are unfolded.

[0025] For example, the umbrella rib assembly 18 includes a connecting handle 4, a connecting rod 5 rotatably connected to the top of the outer side of the connecting handle 4, a support member 6 fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting rod 5, a fixing rod 7 provided at the top of the support member 6, and the other end of the fixing rod 7 rotatably connected to the top of the support rod 3.

[0026] Furthermore, the fixing rod 7 is made of aluminum alloy. One end is rotatably connected to the top of the support 3 via a pivot, and the other end is rotatably connected to the middle of the support 6, forming a triangular stable structure connecting the handle 4 to the connecting rod 5 to the support 6 to the fixing rod 7 to the support rod 3, thus preventing the umbrella fabric from deforming due to wind after it is unfolded.

[0027] When in use, to unlock and push: the user holds the connecting handle 4, presses the elastic buckle at the bottom of the handle, and pushes the connecting handle 4 upward along the support rod 3.

[0028] Linkage drive: When the connecting handle 4 moves upward, it drives the connecting rods 5 on both sides to rotate upward, and the connecting rods 5 push the support 6 to unfold outward.

[0029] Stable support: When the support member 6 unfolds, it drives the fixed rod 7 to rotate around the pivot at the top of the support rod 3 until the fixed rod 7, the connecting rod 5, and the support rod 3 form a right-angled triangle structure.

[0030] Positioning and fixing: Loosen the elastic buckle of the connecting handle 4, and the buckle will automatically engage with the top positioning hole of the support rod 3. The position of the connecting handle 4 will be fixed, the support 6 will remain fully unfolded, and the umbrella cloth 8 will be opened to achieve the function of sunshade or rain protection.

[0031] Alignment and insertion: The user holds the collar 13 and aligns the square insert 15 on the top of the collar with the square insertion hole 11 of the fixing block 10, and inserts it vertically.

[0032] Light guide bar position adjustment Unlock slider: Loosen the locking bolt 94 of the adjusting component 9 clockwise. The end of the bolt separates from the outer wall of the support rod 3, and the slider 92 is released from fixation.

[0033] Height adjustment: Slide the slider 92 up and down along the vertical section of the L-shaped connecting groove 91 until the height of the light guide strip 14 is adapted to the needs, such as lowering it when illuminating the ground and raising it when illuminating the inside of the tent.

[0034] Front and rear adjustment: Slide the slider 92 back and forth along the horizontal section of the connecting slide 91 to avoid the light guide strip from blocking the umbrella cloth or the user's activity range.

[0035] Locking position: After adjustment, tighten the locking bolt 94 counterclockwise. The end of the bolt presses against the outer wall of the support rod 3, fixing the slider 92 by friction. The light guide strip 14 remains in its current position.

[0036] In summary, the multi-functional integration: based on the traditional sunshade and rainproof umbrella, an adjustable light guide strip 14 is added to solve the pain point of no lighting during night camping, and enhances functionality and fun.

[0037] Ease of operation: simply push the connecting handle 4 to unfold or fold the umbrella, adjust the light guide strip 14 by loosening or tightening the bolts, and install it by magnetic attraction without tools, meeting the needs of quick outdoor operation. Example

[0038] Please see Figure 5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] For example, the base 1 is cross-shaped and has good stability, the support member 6 supports the umbrella fabric 8, and the two connecting rods 5 and the fixing rod 7 support the support rod assembly 6.

[0040] Furthermore, the collar 13 is a flat plate used to fix the light guide strip 14, and the insert 15 is a square structure with a dimensional tolerance of 0.1mm between it and the insertion hole 11 to prevent the collar 13 from rotating after installation and to ensure the stability of the lighting direction of the light guide strip 14.

[0041] For example, the plug 15 is square in shape and the socket 11 is square in shape. The two plugs and the socket 11 are adapted to each other. When the plug 15 enters the socket 11, a magnetic attraction is generated between the two first magnets 12 and the second magnet 16, thus restricting each other.

[0042] Furthermore, both the first magnet 12 and the second magnet 16 are neodymium iron boron strong magnets. The first magnet 12 is embedded in the bottom of the insertion hole 11, and the second magnet 16 is fixed to the bottom of the insertion block 15. The two are opposite magnetic poles facing each other, and the magnetic attraction force is about 5 to 8 N. This ensures that the collar 13 will not fall off accidentally, and can be easily separated by manpower when disassembly is required.

[0043] For example, the connecting groove 91 is L-shaped, and the light guide strip 14 is fixed to the collar 13 by bolts, so the light guide strip 14 can be replaced as needed.

[0044] Furthermore, the left side of the fixing block 10 and the slider 92 are fixedly connected by countersunk bolts. The material is the same as that of the slider. A square insertion hole 11 is opened at the top inside, with a depth of about 20mm. The inner wall is polished.

[0045] When in use, the magnetic attraction fixation is achieved: after the insert block 15 is fully inserted into the socket 11, the second magnet 16 at the bottom and the first magnet 12 at the bottom of the socket 11 are attracted due to their opposite magnetic poles, and the collar 13 is firmly fixed on the fixing block 10. The square structure prevents the collar from rotating, and the direction of the light guide strip 14 is stable.

[0046] In summary, structural stability is ensured by the cross-shaped base, triangular umbrella-shaped support, and square magnetic positioning, guaranteeing stable use of the device in complex outdoor environments.

[0047] Adaptability and flexibility: The light guide strip can be adjusted and replaced in multiple dimensions, and the umbrella fabric is sun-proof and waterproof, adaptable to users of different heights, different lighting scenarios and weather conditions.
