[0057] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0058] The embodiment of the utility model relates to a ground nail 1 (such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, or as Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown), rod assembly (as Figures 10 to 13 As shown, or as Figures 17 to 21 As shown), tent 3 (as Fig. 22 and Fig.23 As shown) and parasol 4 (as Fig.14 As shown). This embodiment is a solution to the following problem: many sunshade products used outdoors cannot be well fixed on the ground or on the beach, especially on the beach. Ordinary ground nails cannot be anchored on the ground. Ground nails are too thin or too short and have no effect on soft soil or sand. The fixed rods are easy to fall over, resulting in poor product performance. Even a breeze can blow such products down. In view of this, the ground nails of this embodiment are fixed to the ground through spiral pieces (especially the top spiral pieces) to form a greater grip, and the long length and deep insertion into the ground form a good grip, thereby improving the wind resistance of the product.
[0059] Reference Figures 1 to 9As shown, a ground nail 1 of the present embodiment includes a nail body 11 and one or more handles 12. The nail body 11 is a portion that can be inserted into the ground. In the present embodiment, the ground is typically a beach. The nail body 11 has a sharp bottom end portion to facilitate insertion into the ground. Furthermore, a spiral piece 13 is provided on the nail body 11, and the spiral piece 13 has a shape that extends outward from the outer surface of the nail body 11 and is spirally wound on the nail body 11. In the present embodiment, the spiral piece 13 is in the shape of a continuous spiral line with a constant pitch, extending substantially from the bottom end portion of the nail body 11 to its top. The lateral dimension of the spiral piece 13 ( Figure 3 The left and right dimensions in the ground nail 1 can be constant or different, and the transverse dimension can be in the range of 1 / 5 to 4 / 5 of the maximum outer diameter of the nail body 11. The larger the transverse dimension, the greater the gripping force of the ground nail 1.
[0060] The handle 12 is movably connected to the nail body 11. The handle 12 has a folded position and an open position. In the folded position, the center lines of the handle 12 and the nail body 11 are close to each other, that is, the length direction of the handle 12 is parallel to the length direction of the nail body 11 or forms an angle less than 10 degrees to reduce space occupation; in the open position, the handle 12 is open relative to the nail body 11, preferably, the handle 12 is transverse to the nail body 11 so that the handle 12 can be held to rotate the nail body 11. In this embodiment, in the folded position, the length direction of the handle 12 is parallel to the length direction of the nail body 11, that is, the handle 12 and the nail body 11 both extend substantially vertically. In other embodiments, due to processing conditions, the length direction of the handle 12 may slightly deviate from the length direction of the nail body 11 by a small angle, but the handle 12 as a whole still extends in the up-down direction, which also achieves the purpose of not excessively increasing the lateral size of the ground nail 1 as a whole.
[0061] As shown in the figure, the handle 12 can be pivotally connected to the nail body 11. The handle 12 has a lower end 121 and an upper end 122, and the lower end 121 is pivotally connected to the top of the nail body 11 through a pivot 125. When the handle 12 is in the closed position, the upper end 122 is located above the lower end 121; when the handle 12 is in the open position, the upper end 122 and the lower end 121 are substantially flush. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the handle 12 is in its retracted position. In this position, the handle 12 is basically retracted above the nail body 11, and the overall horizontal size of the ground nail 1 is small; Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the handle 12 is in its open position, the handle 12 is horizontally extended, and the user can hold the handle 12, providing a large gripping area, which is convenient for rotating the nail body 11 to screw it into the ground or out of the ground. The shape of the handle 12 is configured to be rotated 90 degrees upward to convert to its closed position, or rotated 90 degrees downward to convert to its open position.
[0062] Furthermore, the nail body 11 has a rod connecting structure at the top for connecting a rod, which can be directly connected to a rod of an outdoor shelter (tent or parasol, etc.), that is, directly connected to the bottom of the rod so that the rod is directly and firmly inserted into the ground. In this embodiment, the nail body 11 has an inner cavity 110, and the rod connecting structure includes a socket 111 connected to the inner cavity 110. The socket 111 is opened at the top of the nail body 11 to allow the rod to be connected to the top of the nail body 11.
[0063] When the handle 12 is in the folded position, the handle 12 is wrapped around the outside of the rod, and the rod is located in a receiving groove 123 enclosed by the handle 12. Specifically, the handle 12 includes a first handle 12a and a second handle 12b located on opposite sides of the nail body 11. When in the folded position, the first handle 12a and the second handle 12b enclose a receiving groove 123 extending up and down, and the rod is wrapped between the first handle 12a and the second handle 12b. When in the folded position, the inner surfaces of the first handle 12a and the second handle 12b have a clamping structure for clamping with the rod. In this embodiment, the clamping structure includes a convex rib 124. As shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, the rib 124 is C-shaped as a whole and is matched with the outer surface of the rod.
[0064] like Figure 4 Shown and Figure 6 The lower end of the handle 12 has a first pivoting portion 1211 and a second pivoting portion 1212. The top of the nail body 11 is located between the first pivoting portion 1211 and the second pivoting portion 1212. The first pivoting portion 1211 and the second pivoting portion 1212 are connected to the top of the nail body 11 through pivots 125, respectively. The axis lines of the two pivots 125 are horizontal and coincide with each other. The first handle 12a and the second handle 12b are pivotally connected to the nail body 11 through the two pivots 125 at the same time.
[0065] The ground nail 1 has the following advantages: the handle 12 can be folded or opened. When opened, it can be used as the handle 12 of the rotating ground nail 1. When folded, it can reduce the packaging space and the use space occupied, which is conducive to reducing the packaging size; when folded, it can be clamped on the rod inserted into the ground nail 1, further making the rod connected firmly. In addition, the internal rib 124 of the handle 12 is designed as a C-shaped mouth, which can clamp the pipe in the radial direction and tighten the inserted rod, thereby reducing the shaking of the rod and the inner wall of the ground nail 1, and the rod will not be pulled out. In addition, a flange is provided on the inserted rod. When the rod is inserted into the ground nail 1 and the handle 12 is turned up to clamp the rod, the flange and the C-shaped rib 124 abut against each other, so that the rod can be restricted from moving up and down in the axial direction, thereby preventing the rod from being pulled out under the action of external force.
[0066] Reference Figures 10 to 13 A rod assembly is shown, which consists of a rod 2 and Figures 1 to 9The rod 2 is a supporting rod for outdoor shelter products (such as tents, beach umbrellas, etc.), the upper end of the rod 2 is provided with a top shelter structure of the outdoor shelter product, and the lower end of the rod 2 is connected to the ground nail 1, so as to be firmly inserted into the ground (typically such as a beach).
[0067] In this embodiment, the lower end of the rod 2 is connected to the top of the nail body 11, and the rod 2 can maintain the connection with the nail body 11 regardless of whether the handle 12 is in the retracted position or the open position.
[0068] When connecting, the rod 2 is inserted from the socket 111 at the top of the nail body 11 into the inner cavity 110 of the nail body 11 to achieve assembly connection. When the ground nail 1 needs to be rotated, the first handle 12a and the second handle 12b are flipped downward to be roughly horizontal, and the first handle 12a and the second handle 12b are held to rotate the nail body 11 horizontally to screw in or out of the ground; after the nail body 11 is inserted into the ground, the first handle 12a and the second handle 12b are flipped upward to be roughly vertical, and the first handle 12a and the second handle 12b are clamped on the rod 2, further promoting the firmness of the connection between the rod 2 and the ground nail 1.
[0069] Furthermore, the clamping structures of the rod 2 and the nail body 11 cooperate with each other to prevent the rod 2 from being separated from the nail 1 or from having excessive relative displacement in the length direction. Fig.12 As shown, the outer surface of the rod 2 has a flange 21 extending outward, and the inner surface of the handle 12 has a rib 124 extending inward. The rib 124 is located above or below the flange 21 to prevent the rod 2 from moving up and down relative to the nail 1. In this embodiment, a plurality of annular flanges 21 are provided, each flange 21 surrounds the rod 2 in a circle along the circumferential direction, and a plurality of flanges 21 are arranged at intervals up and down; the rib 124 on the handle 12 is C-shaped as a whole, and the rib 124 is located above or below the corresponding flange 21 and can contact each other. The rod 2 is stuck between the rib 124 of the first handle 12a and the rib 124 of the second handle 12b, as shown in FIG. Fig.13 The convex rib 124 of the first handle 12a and the convex rib 124 of the second handle 12b may be staggered in vertical arrangement.
[0070] See also Fig.14 The parasol 4 shown is more specifically a beach parasol. Fig.14 As shown, the umbrella frame of the parasol 4 includes a rod 41 (specifically a central support rod), the rod 41 extends up and down, the upper part of the rod 41 is provided with a top bracket for supporting the umbrella cloth, and the lower end of the rod 41 is connected to Figures 1 to 9 The ground nail 1 shown. Specifically, the rod member 41 and the ground nail 1 constitute a rod assembly, and the lower end of the central support rod is inserted into the inner cavity 110 of the nail body 11, so that the ground nail 1 is firmly installed on the ground.
[0071] The parasol is assembled as follows: (1) first open the handle 12 of the ground nail 1 and screw the nail body 11 into the ground; (2) insert the lower end of the rod 41 into the inner cavity 110 of the nail body 11, fold the handle 12, and clamp the handle 12 on the rod 41.
[0072] The parasol can also be assembled as follows: (1) open the handle 12 of the ground nail 1 and insert the lower end of the rod 41 into the inner cavity 110 of the nail body 11; (2) rotate the handle 12 to screw the nail body 11 into the ground, and then retract the handle 12 so that the handle 12 is clamped on the rod 41.
[0073] Fig.15 and Fig.16 Another ground nail 1 is shown. Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, the ground nail 1 includes a nail body 11 and a handle 12. The nail body 11 is a part that can be inserted into the ground. The nail body 11 has a sharp bottom end portion to facilitate insertion into the bottom surface. Further, a spiral piece 13 is provided on the nail body 11, and the spiral piece 13 has a shape extending outward from the outer surface of the nail body 11 and spirally wound on the nail body 11. In this example, the spiral pieces 13 are multiple and intermittently arranged, and the pitch of the spiral piece 13 at the top is smaller than the pitch of the spiral piece 13 below it. The lateral size of the spiral piece 13 ( Fig.15 and Fig.16 The left and right dimensions in the ground nail 1 can be constant or different, and the transverse dimension can be in the range of 1 / 5 to 4 / 5 of the maximum outer diameter of the nail body 11. The larger the transverse dimension, the greater the gripping force of the ground nail 1.
[0074] The handle 12 is movably connected to the nail body 11. The handle 12 has a folded position and an open position. In the folded position, the length direction of the handle 12 is parallel to the length direction of the nail body 11 or forms an angle less than 10 degrees; in the open position, the handle 12 is transverse to the nail body 11 so that the nail body 11 can be rotated by holding the handle 12. Fig.15 and 16 As shown, in the folded position, the length direction of the handle 12 is parallel to the length direction of the nail body 11, that is, the handle 12 and the nail body 11 both extend substantially vertically. In other embodiments, due to processing conditions, the length direction of the handle 12 may slightly deviate from the length direction of the nail body 11 by a small angle, but the handle 12 as a whole still extends in the up-down direction, so as to achieve the purpose of not excessively increasing the lateral size of the ground nail 1 as a whole.
[0075] like Fig.15 and Fig.16As shown in FIG. 1 , the handle 12 can be pivotally connected to the top of the nail body 11. The handle 12 has a lower end and an upper end, and the lower end is pivotally connected to the top of the nail body 11 through a pivot 125. When the handle 12 is in the closed position, the upper end is located above the lower end; when the handle 12 is in the open position, the upper end and the lower end are substantially flush. Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, the handle 12 is in its closed position, in which the handle 12 is basically closed above the nail body 11, and the overall horizontal size of the nail 1 is small; when the handle 12 is in its open position, the handle 12 is extended horizontally, and the user can hold the handle 12, providing a large gripping area, which is convenient for rotating the nail body 11 to screw it into or out of the ground. The shape of the handle 12 is configured to be rotated 90 degrees upward to convert to its closed position, or rotated 90 degrees downward to convert to its open position.
[0076] Furthermore, the nail body 11 has a rod connecting structure at the top for connecting the rod 2, which can be directly connected to the rod 2 of the outdoor shelter (tent or parasol, etc.), that is, directly connected to the bottom of the rod 2 so that the rod 2 is directly and firmly inserted into the bottom surface. In this embodiment, the nail body 11 has an inner cavity 110, and the rod connecting structure includes a socket 111 connected to the inner cavity 110, and the socket 111 is opened at the top of the nail body 11 to allow the rod 2 to be connected to the top of the nail body 11. In this embodiment, the inner cavity 110 includes at least a first section and a second section arranged up and down, and the width or inner diameter of the second section is smaller than the width or inner diameter of the first section to plug in rods 2 of different specifications. Further, the width or inner diameter of at least one section of the inner cavity 110 gradually decreases from top to bottom to plug in rods 2 of different specifications.
[0077] Similarly, the lower end of the handle 12 has a first pivot portion and a second pivot portion, the top of the nail body 11 is located between the first pivot portion and the second pivot portion, the first pivot portion and the second pivot portion are respectively connected to the top of the nail body 11 through a pivot 125, and the axis lines of the two pivots 125 are horizontal and coincide with each other. One handle 12 is pivotally connected to the nail body 11 through two pivots 125.
[0078] and Figures 1 to 9 The ground nail 1 shown is different. Fig.15 and Fig.16 After the ground spike 1 is connected to the rod 2, the handle 12 can only be in the open position, or at least cannot be switched to its closed position. In other words, when the handle 12 is in the closed position, the rod 2 must be in a state of being separated from the ground spike 1.
[0079] The ground spike 1 has the following advantages: the handle 12 can be folded or opened. When opened, it can be used as the handle 12 for rotating the ground spike 1. When folded, it can reduce the occupied packaging space, which is conducive to reducing the packaging size.
[0080] Figures 17 to 21 Another rod assembly is shown. Figures 17 to 21 As shown, it consists of a rod 2 and Figure 15 to Figure 1 The rod 2 is a supporting rod for outdoor shelter products (such as tents, beach umbrellas, etc.), the upper end of the rod 2 is provided with a top shelter structure of the outdoor shelter product, and the lower end of the rod 2 is connected to the ground nail 1, so as to be firmly inserted into the ground (typically such as a beach).
[0081] In this embodiment, the lower end of the rod 2 is connected to the top of the nail body 11, and after the rod 2 is connected, the handle 12 cannot be switched to the retracted position, and the handle 12 can be maintained in its open position.
[0082] The rod 2 is provided with a joint 22, which is usually a sleeve. The joint 22 and the ground nail 1 are detachably connected, and the two can be quickly connected and disassembled.

The nail body 11 has a pin shaft portion 1251, and in this example, the pin shaft portion 1251 is the inner end portion of the above-mentioned pivot 125. The pin shaft portion 1251 is configured to slide into the second groove 222 during the process of inserting the rod 2 into the nail body 11 and enter the first groove 221 during the process of rotating the rod 2 relative to the nail body 11. When connecting the rod 2, the second groove 222 and the pin shaft portion 1251 are aligned with each other. As the rod 2 is inserted, the pin shaft portion 1251 enters the second groove 222 and slides therein. After the pin shaft portion 1251 moves to the upper end of the second groove 222, the rod 2 is rotated a certain angle, and the pin shaft portion 1251 enters the first groove 221 and moves away from the upper end of the second groove 222, so that the pin shaft portion 1251 can only slide circumferentially along the rod 2 in the second groove 222, but cannot move circumferentially, thereby preventing the joint 22 and the ground nail 1 from detaching.
[0083] When connecting, the handle 12 is rotated to the open position, the rod 2 is inserted into the inner cavity 110 of the nail body 11 from the socket 111 at the top of the nail body 11 and rotated to a certain angle, and the joint 22 and the pin shaft 1251 are plugged into each other to achieve assembly connection. When the ground nail 1 needs to be rotated, the handle 12 is held to rotate the nail body 11 horizontally to screw in or out of the ground.
