Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of umbrella ribs, in particular to a three-folding umbrella rib structure. Background Art

[0002] Umbrellas are a common piece of rain gear used in everyday life. Ribs refer to the internal structure of an umbrella, typically consisting of several slender metal or plastic rods that support the umbrella canopy and allow it to unfold. Ribs provide support, maintaining the umbrella's shape and stability. They are typically connected between the handle and the top of the umbrella. Through a mechanical structure, they allow the umbrella to fold and unfold when opened and closed, ensuring durability and convenience.

[0003] Traditional umbrella rib structures usually use a relatively simple connection method. They are mainly composed of ribs, umbrella poles, and umbrella canopy. During the unfolding process, the umbrella poles are manually stretched to gradually expand the umbrella canopy.

[0004] However, the stability of this traditional umbrella rib structure is relatively weak, and it is easy to deform or damage in strong winds. In addition, jamming often occurs during the unfolding process, resulting in less than smooth operation and easy friction and obstruction during unfolding. When the user pushes the umbrella handle upward, the ribs cannot unfold quickly and evenly, and repeated adjustments are required to achieve a fully open state, which brings inconvenience to the user and affects the user experience. Therefore, a three-fold umbrella rib structure is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to make up for the above shortcomings, the present invention provides a three-fold umbrella rib structure, which aims to improve the problem that the umbrella rib structure in the existing technology is relatively weak in stability, easily deformed or damaged in strong wind weather, and often jams during the unfolding process, resulting in less smooth operation.

[0008] The connecting assembly includes a windproof bone, one end of which is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting buckle 1, and the other end of the windproof bone is rotatably connected to the connecting buckle 2, the inside of the connecting buckle 2 is fixedly connected to the coccyx, one end of the coccyx is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft, a loop is provided inside the ring buckle, one end of the loop is fixedly connected to the iron main material and the fiber main material, and the other end slides on the coccyx to a fixed point for positioning;

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The present invention provides an embodiment of a three-folding umbrella rib structure, comprising an iron main material 1 and a fiber main material 15. The iron main material 1 is arranged on the outer wall of the fiber main material 15. A buckle 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the iron main material 1. The buckle 2 serves as the core connecting part of the umbrella rib. Its main function is to maintain the stability of the overall frame of the umbrella rib and provide support for the connection of other components. A connecting buckle 1 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the iron main material 1 to ensure that the folding structure of the umbrella rib can be smoothly unfolded when in use. A connecting component is arranged inside the connecting buckle 1 3, and the connecting component is used to connect the skeletons.

[0034] The connecting assembly includes a windproof bone 4, one end of which is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting buckle 3. The design of the windproof bone 4 is to increase the stability of the umbrella ribs in strong wind weather. One end of the windproof bone 4 is connected to the inside of the connecting buckle 3 through a rotating shaft. The other end of the windproof bone 4 is rotatably connected to the connecting buckle 2 7. The connecting buckle 2 7 also plays a role of connection and stability, ensuring that the windproof bone 4 can effectively support the umbrella surface at any angle. The inside of the connecting buckle 2 7 is fixedly connected to the tail bone 6, so that the end of the umbrella rib can effectively support the umbrella surface. One end of the tail bone 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 8, and the connecting shaft 8 plays an axial connection role. A loop 9 is provided inside the ring buckle 2. One end of the loop 9 is fixedly connected to the iron main material 1 and the fiber main material 15, and the other end is It slides on the coccyx 6 to a fixed point for positioning. A connecting rod 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the iron main material 1. The outer wall of the connecting rod 14 is rotatably connected to a connecting frame 5. The main function of the connecting frame 5 is to be connected to the coccyx 6 through its rotation to provide a flexible folding function for the umbrella ribs. One end of the connecting frame 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the coccyx 6, and one end of the return line 9 is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting frame 5 to provide power support for the unfolding and folding of the umbrella. A connecting piece 10 is fixedly connected to the other side of the iron main material 1, and an elastic line 13 is rotatably connected to the inside of the short rod 12. One end of the elastic line 13 is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting piece 10, which can automatically adjust the tension of the umbrella ribs to ensure that the umbrella surface is neither loose nor tight when in use, providing a better umbrella holding experience.

[0035] Specifically, when the user opens the umbrella, by pushing the umbrella handle upward, the rib structure gradually unfolds, and finally forms a complete umbrella surface. At this time, the iron main material 1 serves as the main supporting component of the umbrella rib structure, and plays a role in maintaining the stability of the umbrella rib frame. As the umbrella handle pushes, the connecting buckle 1 3 begins to drive the windproof rib 4 to rotate outward. The unfolding of the windproof rib 4 helps to increase the stability of the umbrella surface when it is unfolded. The function of the windproof rib 4 is to strengthen the rib structure so that the umbrella surface can effectively resist the blowing of wind and prevent the umbrella surface from being blown over or damaged by strong wind. During the unfolding process of the windproof rib 4, the connection with other The expansion of the rib components is carried out synchronously to maintain the symmetry and uniformity of the umbrella surface shape. The movement of the windproof rib 4 further drives the expansion of the tail rib 6 through the connecting buckle 2 7. The tail rib 6 is located outside the umbrella, extending outward, opposite to the windproof rib 4, ensuring that the extended part of the umbrella rib structure can also be stably supported. The expansion of the tail rib 6 not only helps to enhance the overall stability of the umbrella ribs, but also enables the umbrella surface to be evenly stressed under the action of external force. The tail rib 6 can be smoothly expanded under the drive of the windproof rib 4 through close cooperation with the connecting buckle 2 7, forming a supporting structure for the periphery of the umbrella surface. When the coccyx 6 is unfolded, the connecting frame 5 rotates with the movement of the coccyx 6, and the connecting frame 5 transmits the movement of the coccyx 6 to other parts on the umbrella handle. The rotation of the connecting frame 5 not only makes the unfolding of the coccyx 6 smoother, but also balances the overall tension of the umbrella rib structure, thereby ensuring the symmetry of the umbrella when it is fully unfolded. At the same time, the loop line 9 also starts to play a role. The loop line 9 is a cable extending along the connecting frame 5 and the long rod 11. It is gradually tightened during the unfolding of the umbrella ribs. The loop line 9 provides additional support by cooperating with the umbrella handle and the connecting frame 5. The support provided by the loop cable 9 ensures the rib structure remains stable during deployment, preventing deformation caused by uneven force on any component. The tension of the loop cable 9 effectively resists external wind forces, maintaining the stability of the expanded umbrella and preventing it from sagging or losing its proper tension. In addition to the support provided by the loop cable 9, the elastic cable 13 also plays a crucial role in the rib deployment process. Unlike the loop cable 9, the elastic cable 13 provides dynamic support for the umbrella during deployment. As the handle pushes, the elastic cable 13 gradually stretches, providing a spring-like reverse thrust. This elastic force not only accelerates the deployment of the ribs but also ensures that the umbrella maintains proper tension when fully deployed, preventing it from sinking or tilting due to insufficient reverse tension. The stable support provided by the iron main member 1, the coordinated rotation of the windproof rib 4 and tail rib 6, and the connecting frame 5, along with the auxiliary functions of the loop cable 9 and elastic cable 13, collectively ensure that the umbrella deploys smoothly and efficiently during opening, maintaining a stable shape in all weather conditions.

[0036] Reference Figure 4-Figure 6The connecting member 10 is rotatably connected to a long rod 11. As part of the connection, the long rod 11 ensures that the loop 9 can work in conjunction with the connecting rod 14 through the rotating shaft, so that the deployment and folding actions of the entire umbrella rib are smoother and more stable. The other end of the loop 9 is arranged inside the long rod 11. One side of the long rod 11 is rotatably connected to a short rod 12. The short rod 12 serves as an adjustment connection component, which can flexibly adjust the shape of the umbrella surface when the umbrella ribs are deployed or folded.

[0037] Specifically, when the umbrella needs to be folded, the user will first pull the umbrella handle downwards. At this time, the skeleton structure of the umbrella begins to gradually shrink. As the umbrella handle is pulled, the connecting rod 14 transmits force to the connecting frame 5. The connecting frame 5 and the tail bone 6 cooperate with each other to gradually tighten the umbrella surface and bring the ribs closer to the center. At this time, the windproof ribs 4 begin to rotate around the direction of the iron main material 1 and fold inward. The design of the windproof ribs 4 enables it to maintain the stability of the umbrella in windy weather. Through moderate bending and deformation, it reduces the pressure on the ribs caused by wind. The connecting buckle 2 7 plays an important role. It connects and drives the tail bone 6 to fold. The tailbone 6 contracts inwards during this process, and through the cooperation of the loop line 9 and the long rod 11, the umbrella canopy is gradually folded in to prevent the umbrella canopy from being deformed or damaged due to uneven force. The loop line 9 slowly relaxes along the trajectory of the ring buckle 2 and the long rod 11, maintaining the coordinated movement of the umbrella ribs and avoiding asymmetric stretching and compression of the umbrella rib structure during the folding process, ensuring that each component of the umbrella body can be folded smoothly. The long rod 11, as the main supporting component of the umbrella, can effectively interact with the short rod 12 and the elastic line 13 to provide necessary mechanical support when the umbrella can be folded. The elastic line 13 stores elastic potential energy during the folding process, which provides necessary assistance when the umbrella is opened next time. The elastic line 13 is not only elastic, but also can adapt to changes in the umbrella surface pressure, ensuring that the umbrella can be folded frequently. The umbrella can be opened and closed by the windproof bone 4, and the windproof bone 4 can maintain a good shape and function during the opening and closing process. In the case of wind, the windproof bone 4 can withstand wind from different directions to prevent the umbrella from flipping over or breaking under strong winds. When the wind acts on the umbrella, the windproof bone 4 transmits the wind to the tail bone 6 and the iron main material 1 through the cooperation of the connecting buckle 1 3 and the connecting buckle 2 7, thereby dispersing the impact of the wind on the umbrella ribs. The wind is relieved and effectively dispersed to the various components of the umbrella frame through the bending and folding of the windproof bone 4, preventing local damage caused by excessive pressure. At the same time, the loop line 9 is tightened under the action of wind, which further enhances the stability of the umbrella rib structure. The tension of the loop line 9 adjusts the matching force between the umbrella ribs, thereby enhancing the wind resistance of the overall skeleton, so that the umbrella will not be easily deformed or broken in the wind.

[0038] Working principle: When the user opens the umbrella, he pushes the umbrella handle upwards, so that the umbrella rib structure gradually unfolds. At this time, the iron main material 1 remains stable as the main supporting component, and the connecting buckle 1 3 drives the windproof rib 4 to rotate outward. The windproof rib 4 drives the tailbone 6 to unfold through the connecting buckle 2 7. At the same time, the connecting frame 5 rotates with the movement of the tailbone 6. The return line 9 is tightened under the action of the connecting frame 5 and the long rod 11, providing additional support for the umbrella rib structure. The elastic line 13 is also stretched during the opening process, providing elastic assistance for the unfolding of the umbrella ribs, so that the umbrella can be opened quickly and maintain a stable shape. When the umbrella needs to be folded, the umbrella handle is pulled downwards, the umbrella rib structure begins to shrink, the iron main material 1, connecting rod 14, connecting frame 5, tailbone 6 and other components gradually move closer, and the windproof rib 4 moves toward the iron main The material 1 rotates in the direction of rotation, the connecting buckle 2 7 drives the tail bone 6 to fold, and the return line 9 is gradually relaxed inside the ring buckle 2 and the long rod 11. The long rod 11, the short rod 12 and the elastic line 13 cooperate with each other and gradually close together as the umbrella ribs fold. The elastic line 13 stores elastic potential energy during the folding process, providing assistance for opening the umbrella next time. In windy conditions, the windproof rib 4 can withstand wind from different directions. When the wind acts on the umbrella surface, the windproof rib 4 transmits the force to the tail bone 6 and the iron main material 1 through the connecting buckle 1 3 and the connecting buckle 2 7, dispersing the influence of the wind on the umbrella rib structure. At the same time, the return line 9 is tightened under the action of the wind, which further enhances the stability of the umbrella rib structure. The iron main material 1, as the main supporting component, can withstand large wind forces, ensuring that the umbrella is not easily damaged in the wind.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
