Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of outdoor sunshades or awnings, in particular to a sliding connection structure of a sunshade or an awning. Background Art

[0002] Sunshades or awnings are commonly used tools for sunshading in existing leisure places such as squares, beaches or lawns, providing a comfortable cooling space for people to carry out outdoor activities. A sunshade or an awning mainly consists of a supporting main body and a sunshading part. Currently, the supporting main body of a common sunshade or an awning usually consists of a vertical rod for main support and an inclined rod for hanging and supporting the sunshading part. Usually, a sliding connection structure is conventionally connected between the vertical rod and the inclined rod. The sliding connection structure can usually slide along the axial direction of the tube body relative to the tube body of the vertical rod or the inclined rod. By sliding the sliding connection structure on the corresponding tube body, the relative position between the vertical rod and the inclined rod is adjusted, and then the opening of the sunshading part and the adjustment of the sunshading angle are realized. With the cooperation of a corresponding locking structure, the sliding position of the sliding connection structure on the vertical rod is locked, so as to maintain the corresponding use state of the sunshade or the awning.

[0003] Currently, the common sliding connection form mainly adopts a sliding sleeve sleeved and installed on the corresponding tube body. During the relative sliding process of the two, the outer surface of the tube body and the sliding sleeve are both prone to frictional damage, and the frictional contact area is relatively large, resulting in a relatively large area of frictional damage. Especially for the frictional damage on the outer surface of the tube body, it is easy to rust, thus affecting the service life. In view of the problems existing in the sliding sleeve sliding structure, some people propose to adopt a roller structure. The roller is rotatably arranged on the corresponding tube body. In this structure, the contact between the roller and the tube body is actually a vertical line, which is equivalent to line contact. The contact area with the tube body is relatively small, and the frictional force generated between the two is also relatively small. However, there is still friction, and the surface of the tube body will also be damaged to a certain extent. In order to ensure that the roller can roll smoothly, a certain gap needs to be left between the two sides of the roller and the tube body. In this way, it also ensures that the frictional force between the roller and the tube body is small enough. However, it is easy to cause a relatively large shaking gap between the two after the sliding connection structure is installed on the tube body. When the sliding connection structure is subjected to an external force, it is easy to shake, thus affecting the stability of the product. Also, because the contact surface between the roller and the tube body is small, when the sliding connection structure is subjected to an external force, the torsional resistance between the roller and the tube body is low, resulting in weak rigidity of this structure and being easy to be damaged during use, and then the product function fails. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a sliding connection structure of a sunshade or an awning with a simple structure, which can effectively ensure the service life on the basis of realizing stable sliding connection.

The sliding sleeve is used to reduce the contact area and frictional resistance with the chute, reduce the mutual frictional damage. When the sliding sleeve is severely damaged, it can be replaced separately, effectively reducing the maintenance cost.

[0008] The sliding sleeve is made of engineering plastic material. The sliding sleeve made of engineering plastic material provides better frictional resistance, and after contacting with the rigid tube body, mainly the sliding sleeve wears, causing less damage to the tube body.

The structure is simple, enabling the sliding seat to be more stably slidably mounted on the tube body, having relatively stable anti-shaking and anti-twisting capabilities, and ensuring the stability of product use.

[0011] The sliding block includes a mounting portion and a sliding connection portion. The mounting portion is disposed in the sliding seat and is detachably connected to the sliding seat. The sliding connection portion extends outside the sliding seat, and the slide bar is disposed on the sliding connection portion. The sliding seat and the sliding block are independent individuals, and the combined use is more diverse.

[0012] The sliding seat comprises a sliding seat body, an upper limit end cover and a lower limit end cover, the sliding seat body is provided with a through installation groove matched with the mounting part, the mounting groove is provided with an opening for the sliding connection part to extend outwards in the direction of the tube body, the mounting part is tightly inserted in the installation groove, the upper limit end cover is detachably provided on the upper part of the sliding seat body, and the lower limit end cover is detachably provided on the lower part of the sliding seat body, so as to limit the upper and lower installation positions of the sliding block. The structure is simple, and the stable connection and installation of the mounting part of the sliding block in the sliding seat is realized.

[0013] The front and rear sides of the mounting portion are respectively provided with anti-drop positioning ribs, so that the mounting portion is a T-shaped structure, and the mounting groove is a T-shaped groove matched with the mounting portion, so as to realize the stable connection and installation of the sliding seat and the sliding block.

[0014] The length of the sliding seat main body in the axial direction is equal to the length of the sliding block in the axial direction, which can effectively prevent the sliding block from slipping in the sliding seat after the limit end cover is connected, thereby achieving stable installation.

[0015] The mounting portion is provided with a through mounting hole, and the upper limit end cover and the lower limit end cover are provided with through mounting through holes at positions corresponding to the mounting holes, and the upper limit end cover and the lower limit end cover are detachably connected and installed on the sliding seat by means of mounting screws passing through the mounting through holes and being screwed into the mounting holes. The above-mentioned detachable connection structure is simple, low in cost, and can effectively realize the stable connection and installation of the four parts of the sliding seat main body, the upper limit end cover, the lower limit end cover and the sliding block to form an integral component.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the utility model are: simple structure, the sliding connection is composed of a slide bar arranged on the sliding seat and a slide groove matching therewith on the tube body, the cooperation between the two does not require sufficient clearance, and it is only necessary to apply a certain force on the sliding seat to drive the slide bar to slide axially in the slide groove, the slide bar can be slidably arranged in the slide groove to achieve a relatively rigid connection with the tube body, and the anti-sway performance and anti-torsion performance are good; and the friction contact part of the tube body is not directly exposed to the outside, but hidden inside. Compared with the damage to the outer surface directly exposed to the outside, the probability of rust is effectively reduced, so that the service life of the tube body is guaranteed to a certain extent.
