Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of outdoor products technology, and in particular to an outdoor louvered awning. Background Technology

[0002] Outdoor louvered awnings, as outdoor facilities that combine sunshade, rain protection, and ventilation functions, are widely used in courtyards, terraces, shop fronts, and various outdoor leisure areas. Their core components include a frame structure, a drive mechanism, and several adjustable louvered panels. The flipping and linkage effect of the louvered panels directly determines the user experience and structural stability of the outdoor louvered awning.

[0003] For example, CN205617895U provides a louvered roof structure for a tent, belonging to the field of leisure products technology. It solves the problem of inconvenient opening and closing of existing tent roofs. This louvered roof structure includes a first ring beam, a second ring beam, and several louvered blades disposed between the first and second ring beams. Several blade fixing members (first type) are sequentially hinged to the first ring beam, and these blade fixing members are connected to each other via a linkage strip. Several blade fixing members (second type) are sequentially hinged to the second ring beam, and these blade fixing members are connected to each other via a linkage strip. One end of each louvered blade is connected to a blade fixing member (first type), and the other end is connected to a blade fixing member (second type). The louvered roof structure also includes a rotating mechanism for driving either the first or second blade fixing member to rotate, allowing the louvered blades to open and close when the first or second blade fixing member rotates. The rotating mechanism includes a first connector, a second connector, and a worm gear assembly. The worm gear assembly is fixedly connected to either a first ring beam or a second ring beam. The worm gear assembly includes a mating worm wheel and a worm. One end of the first connector is hinged to a linkage bar, and the other end of the second connector is hinged to one end of the second connector. The other end of the second connector is fixedly connected to the worm wheel shaft.

[0004] Due to their structure and size, tents are generally assembled from components, making the connection structure between these components particularly important as it affects the overall appearance and stability of the tent. For example, CN213015045U discloses a beam-column installation structure for a multi-bladed roof awning, including awning columns and a first and second ring beam mounted on the columns. The first and / or second ring beams are installed with the awning columns using fasteners in both the horizontal and vertical directions. In this invention, the ring beams are fastened to the awning columns both horizontally and vertically with screws. This double-fastening structure enhances the reliability of the connection between the ring beams and the awning columns, eliminating the need for additional angle irons or other structures. It offers advantages such as reliable connection, convenient installation, and cost savings.

[0005] In the aforementioned structural design, the connection structure between the beams / columns and the ring beam is overly complex, with numerous screws, making assembly difficult. During ring beam installation, misalignment of the holes can easily occur, affecting its secure assembly. Furthermore, the louvers in louvered awnings are typically sheet-like, and their linkage structure usually employs a single-sided linkage. Therefore, during use, the sheet-like louvers are quite heavy, and the distance between their two ends is relatively large. With a single-sided linkage structure, the driving force acts only on one end of the louver, resulting in a significantly greater drag force on one side than the other, creating a noticeable imbalance in stress. This can cause deviations in the transmission speed and force at both ends of the louver during the linkage and rotation process, resulting in unstable transmission at both ends, or even jamming where one end moves first and the other lags behind. This seriously affects the consistency of the synchronous linkage of multiple louver panels. On the other hand, under long-term large drag force on one side, longer single louver panels are prone to twisting and deformation due to uneven force. This not only damages the structural integrity of the louver panel, making it impossible for the louver panel to rotate and adjust normally, but also aggravates the wear of linkage connectors and drive mechanisms, shortens the overall service life of outdoor louver awnings, and increases later maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below with reference to specific illustrations.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, this invention discloses an outdoor louvered awning, including a louvered awning top 200 and an awning frame 100. The louvered awning top 200 is equipped with a driving mechanism and includes several louvered panels 210. The several louvered panels 210 are rotated by the driving mechanism. The awning frame 100 includes several awning beams 110 and awning columns 120 for installation in conjunction with the awning beams 110. The driving mechanism includes a linkage component 400 and a rotating shaft 500. The linkage component 400 is located at least at one end of the several louvered panels 210, preferably at both ends of the several louvered panels 210. The rotating shaft 500 extends axially along the louvered panels 210 to the awning beam 110 on the other side. The other end of the rotating shaft 500 cooperates with the corresponding linkage component 400 to synchronously swing the louvered panels 210, so that both ends of the louvered awning top 200 can be driven synchronously, increasing the rotation performance.

[0023] The louvered panel 210 includes a louvered panel body 211 and louvered end caps 212. The louvered panel body 211 is preferably a sheet-shaped louvered panel, but it can also be a plate-shaped louvered panel. End cap cavities 213 are provided at the bottom of both ends of the louvered panel body 211. The louvered end caps 212 include an end cap fixing part 214 and an end cap panel 215. The end cap fixing part 214 is fitted and installed in the end cap cavity 213. The end cap fixing part 214 is used to directly fix and install the louvered panel body 211, which can be done by welding or fasteners. The fasteners can be screws, bolts or rivets, etc. One end of the end cover panel 215 is provided with a linkage docking part 216, which is used to hinge with the linkage bar 410. A rotating shaft seat 217 is also fixedly provided on the end cover panel 215. A rotating shaft 218 is fitted on the rotating shaft seat 217. The rotating shaft 218 is used to be installed with the canopy beam 110. The canopy beam 110 is usually provided with a pivot hole, which is used to connect with the rotating shaft 218 to facilitate the flipping of the louvered panel 210.

[0024] In the specific structure, the linkage component 400 is linked through the rotating shaft 500. In the preferred structure, the two ends of the rotating shaft 500 are used to synchronously drive the linkage component 400 to achieve linkage. The rotating shaft 500 is rotated through the power input part 600. The power input part 600 adopts a hand crank component or a drive motor, which can realize manual drive or electric drive respectively. In specific implementation cases, it is also possible to use a single manual drive, a single electric drive, or a combination of manual and electric drive. The crank handle or drive motor used in the power input part 600 is a conventional design.

[0025] In the case of manual drive using a hand crank assembly, the hand crank assembly includes a turbine seat 610 and an input shaft 620. The turbine seat 610 drives the input shaft 620 to rotate. The turbine seat 610 is usually used in conjunction with a crank handle 300 to input power. The other end of the input shaft 620 is fitted with a rotating shaft part 500. The active rotating shaft seat 520 is sleeved and installed on the input shaft 620. The crank handle 300 drives the turbine seat 610 to rotate, thereby driving the input shaft 620. In the electric drive structure, the power input to the input shaft 620 can be achieved by using a drive motor in conjunction with a coupling, or by using a drive motor in conjunction with a gearbox to drive the input shaft.

[0026] In one embodiment, the rotating shaft portion 500 includes a rotating shaft body 510 and an active rotating shaft seat 520 located at one end of the rotating shaft body 510. The active rotating shaft seat 520 includes an active rotating shaft outer sleeve 521 and an active rotating shaft bearing 522. The active rotating shaft bearing 522 is located between the active rotating shaft outer sleeve 521 and the input shaft 620. A canopy beam retainer 540 is provided on the active rotating shaft outer sleeve 521 for mounting with the canopy beam 110. The structure of the rotating shaft portion 500 is optimized, wherein the rotating shaft body 510 is a two-end transmission component that extends axially along the louver plate 210. The system is designed to achieve synchronous drive at both ends. Specifically, the active shaft seat 520 is optimized, and the active shaft outer sleeve seat 521 facilitates engagement with the canopy beam 110. The canopy beam engaging seat 540 is assembled onto the canopy beam 110, and in conjunction with the active shaft bearing 522, it allows for easy connection of the internal input shaft 620, facilitating power transmission from the input shaft 620 to the shaft body 510, thus increasing transmission smoothness and stability. Furthermore, in its corresponding engagement with the linkage component 400, the pull rod arm 430 is used to engage with either the input shaft 620 or the shaft body for installation.

[0027] In conjunction with the above, a driven shaft seat 530 is provided at the other end of the rotating shaft portion 500. The driven shaft seat 530 is used to cooperate with the linkage assembly 400. The driven shaft seat 530 includes a driven shaft outer sleeve 531, a driven shaft bearing 532, and an embedded shaft 533. One end of the pull rod arm 430 in the linkage assembly 400 is fitted and installed with the embedded shaft 533 or the rotating shaft body 510. The driven shaft bearing 532 is located between the driven shaft outer sleeve 531 and the embedded shaft 533. The driven shaft outer sleeve 531... The canopy beam is provided with a canopy beam retainer 540, which is used to cooperate with the canopy beam 110 for installation; the driven shaft seat 530 is used to match the other end of the shaft body 510 for installation with the corresponding canopy beam 110. The driven shaft outer sleeve seat 531 is used to facilitate the engagement with the canopy beam 110. The canopy beam retainer 540 is assembled on the canopy beam 110 and cooperates with the driven shaft bearing 532, which facilitates the internal mounting of the shaft 533 and the engagement with the shaft body 510, thereby increasing the smoothness and stability of the transmission.

[0028] Furthermore, the rotating shaft body 510 also includes a rotating shaft rod 511 and a sleeve shaft 512 located at at least one end of the rotating shaft rod 511. The sleeve shaft 512 is provided with a shaft mounting cavity 513. One end of the input shaft 620 is embedded in the shaft mounting cavity 513. The rotating shaft rod 511 is provided with an adjustment stroke hole 514. The sleeve shaft 512 is embedded in the inner cavity of the rotating shaft rod 511. An adjustment lock 515 is fitted on the adjustment stroke hole 514. The adjustment lock 515 passes through the adjustment stroke hole 514 and is fixedly installed with the sleeve shaft 512. The optimized design of the adjustment stroke hole 514 and the sleeve shaft 512 makes it easy to adjust the axial length of the rotating shaft body 510 during the installation on both sides of the canopy beam 110, thereby facilitating the installation between components.

[0029] In the specific structure, the linkage assembly 400 includes a linkage bar 410, a swing arm 420, and a pull rod arm 430. The louvered plate 210 has a louvered end cap 212 fitted at its end. The louvered end cap 212 is hinged to the linkage bar 410. One end of the linkage bar 410 is hinged to the swing arm 420, and the other end of the swing arm 420 is hinged to the pull rod arm 430. The other end of the pull rod arm 430 is fitted to the rotating shaft 500, which facilitates the rotation of the pull rod arm 430. After the pull rod arm 430 drives the swing arm to flip, the swing arm 420 pulls the linkage bar 410 to move. The linkage bar 410 simultaneously drives the louvered end cap 212 to move, thereby realizing the flipping of the louvered plate 210.

[0030] This invention optimizes the use of the rotating shaft to achieve synchronous drive at both ends, thereby synchronously driving the linkage components at both ends and facilitating the flipping of the louvers; the specific structure of the rotating shaft is optimized by adopting an active rotating shaft seat or a driven rotating shaft seat, which facilitates installation with the canopy beam, and at the same time, it combines with the internal bearing structure to achieve convenient rotation.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] In conjunction with Example 1, Figures 12 to 21 As shown, this embodiment discloses a convenient awning frame, including an awning frame 100. The awning frame 100 includes awning columns 120 and awning beams 110. The end of any one or more awning beams 110 is used to cooperate with the upper end of the awning column 120 for installation. Depending on the specifications of the outdoor awning structure, the number of awning columns 120 and awning beams 110 varies. For example, a wall-mounted awning usually has four awning beams 110 and two awning columns 120. A conventional outdoor louvered awning usually uses four awning columns 120 and four awning beams 110 to form a frame structure. It can also be extended according to specifications, such as to achieve six awning columns 120 and seven awning beams 110. This embodiment involves the cooperation and installation structure between adjacent awning beams 110 and awning columns 120.

[0033] The specific structure is as follows: A canopy beam mounting cavity 201' is provided at the top of the canopy column 120; a canopy beam mounting frame 210' is fixedly installed on the side wall of the canopy beam mounting cavity 201'; the canopy beam mounting frame 210' is preferably welded to the canopy column 120, but it can also be integrally formed, typically to achieve pre-installation and fixation with the canopy column 120, facilitating subsequent assembly and installation of the canopy beam 110; the canopy beam mounting frame 210' is provided with several canopy beam hanging slots 211', which can be 2 to 8 depending on installation requirements, preferably 4, arranged in two rows. The shape of the canopy beam mounting groove 211' can be adapted to the different mounting parts 500'. In this embodiment, the canopy beam mounting groove 211' preferably adopts two structures. The upper canopy beam mounting groove 211' preferably adopts an open groove structure, and the lower canopy beam mounting groove 211' adopts an integral hole structure. The canopy beam mounting groove 211' preferably adopts an inverted gourd hole shape, or the upper end of the canopy beam mounting groove 211' adopts a large hole diameter design, and the lower part adopts a small hole diameter or straight hole structure, which facilitates the mounting and fitting of the mounting parts 500'.

[0034] Furthermore, a locking seat 600' is provided at the end of the canopy beam 110, and several hanging parts 500' are provided on the side wall of one end of the canopy beam 110. The hanging parts 500' are used to cooperate with the canopy beam hanging groove 211' for installation. A self-locking mechanism 700' is provided on the locking seat 600', and a lock hole 212' is provided on the canopy beam mounting bracket 210'. The canopy beam 110 usually has a cavity, and the locking seat 600' is located in the cavity at the end of the canopy beam 110. It can be pre-installed and fixed by fasteners, which are usually screws, bolts, etc. The hanging parts can also be used to fix the locking seat in the inner cavity at the end of the canopy beam. When the hanging parts 500' in the canopy beam 110 are installed with the canopy beam hanging groove 211', the self-locking mechanism 700' locks with the lock hole.

[0035] In summary, the canopy beam mounting frame 210' includes a hanging groove wall 213' and a locking hole wall 214', which are adjacent vertical surfaces. A self-locking mechanism 700' is located on the end face of the canopy beam 110, and the self-locking mechanism 700' engages with the opposite surface of the locking hole wall 214'. The hanging part 500' engages with the opposite surface of the hanging groove wall 213'. Depending on the number of canopy beams 110 to be fitted, the hanging groove wall 213' and the locking hole wall 214' are typically designed on two sides, engaging adjacently, to facilitate the fitting of corresponding canopy beams 110. A single canopy beam 1... The end of the 10 corresponds to a single hanging groove wall 213' and a lock hole wall 214'. When the canopy beam 110 and the canopy column 120 are installed, the hanging part 500' on the side wall end face of the canopy beam 110 is aligned with the canopy beam hanging groove 211' on the corresponding hanging groove wall 213', so that the hanging part 500' is hung in the canopy beam hanging groove 211'. After it is lowered, the self-locking mechanism 700' is aligned with the lock hole wall 214' and achieves self-locking fixation with the lock hole 212', thereby realizing the locking of the canopy beam 110 and the canopy column 120.

[0036] In conjunction with the above, the self-locking mechanism 700' includes a locking pin 710' and a reset member 720'. The locking base 600' has an assembly cavity 610' with an opening 612' for alignment with the lock hole 212'. The reset member 720' is embedded in the assembly cavity 610'. The locking pin 710' is fitted into the assembly cavity 610', with one end of the locking pin 710' engaging with the reset member 720'. The locking pin 710' can protrude outwards from the opening 612' or retract into the assembly cavity through the deformation of the reset member 720'. In 610', during the initial installation state of the canopy beam 110 and the canopy column 120, the outer end of the locking pin 710' protrudes from the opening. When the mounting part 500' and the canopy beam mounting groove 211' are assembled, the locking pin 710' usually abuts against the lock hole wall 214'. As the mounting part 500' is mounted into the canopy beam mounting groove 211', the locking pin 710' moves downward with the position of the canopy beam 110 until the locking pin 710' is aligned with the lock hole 212'. The locking pin 710' protrudes through the reset part 720', thus locking the locking pin 710' and the lock hole 212'.

[0037] In a further structure, the self-locking mechanism 700' also includes an unlocking part 740', which includes a handle part 741' and a pusher part 742'. An unlocking cavity 620' is provided on one side of the assembly cavity 610', and a travel hole 130' is provided on one side of the canopy beam 110. The unlocking cavity 620' and the travel hole 130' are correspondingly engaged. The handle part 741' is located outside the travel hole 130', and the pusher part 742' passes through the travel hole 130' and the unlocking cavity 620' and is fixedly engaged with the locking pin 710'. When unlocked...
