Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a connection structure of umbrella ribs. Background Art

[0002] To improve the aesthetics and quality of parasols, parasol manufacturers currently use solid wood or bamboo to manufacture components such as the handle and ribs of parasols. Furthermore, since the ends of the ribs need to be processed into a certain arc to adapt to the shape of the parasol canopy, the existing technology generally steam-heats the entire rib and then bends it into shape. During the above-mentioned rib manufacturing process, since the ribs are long and only the ends are processed, heating the entire rib causes over-processing to a certain extent. However, it is not possible to heat only the ends of the ribs, otherwise the solid wood or bamboo ribs will be deformed. In addition, due to the prevalence of online shopping, such one-piece ribs with curved ends are not conducive to transportation and are prone to breakage during violent loading and unloading. Utility Model Content

[0006] The first rib and the second rib each have a first insertion end and a second insertion end corresponding to the slot at one end, the first rib being a straight rib, the end of the first rib away from the first insertion end being rotatably connected to the upper nest on the umbrella pole, the second rib being an arc-shaped rib except for the second insertion end, the first rib and the second rib being connected as a whole via the first insertion end, the second insertion end, and a connector.

[0007] The top surface of the connecting member is in contact with the bottom surface of the umbrella surface. A fixing belt corresponding to the connecting member is provided on the bottom surface of the umbrella surface. The fixing belt passes through the waist hole to fix the connecting member on the bottom surface of the umbrella surface.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the connecting piece has two convex strips, and the two convex strips are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the connecting piece.

[0009] Furthermore, one end of the fixing belt is sewn to the umbrella surface, the other end of the fixing belt is provided with a first Velcro, and the umbrella surface is provided with a second Velcro corresponding to each first Velcro.

[0010] Specifically, each end corner of the connecting member is an arc-shaped chamfer.

[0011] Specifically, the first insertion end and the second insertion end are respectively in a corresponding step shape, and the first insertion end and the second insertion end are respectively inserted into and matched with two ends of the slot of the connector.

[0012] Specifically, each end angle on the first insertion end and the second insertion end is an oblique angle.

[0013] Furthermore, the first insertion end and the second insertion end are provided with a limiting portion.

[0014] Furthermore, the connecting piece, the first insertion end and the second insertion end also have corresponding holes respectively, and the long rod bolts are fixed on the corresponding holes to connect the connecting piece, the first insertion end and the second insertion end into one.

[0023] The technical solution of the present invention will be further specifically described below with reference to embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Combine Figure 1-4 As shown, a connection structure of an umbrella rib includes an umbrella pole 1, a plurality of umbrella ribs and an umbrella cover 2;

[0025] Each of the umbrella ribs is composed of a first umbrella rib 3, a second umbrella rib 4 and a connecting piece 5;

[0026] The connecting member 5 has a slot in the middle, an inclined top surface at the top, and a ridge 6 at the bottom. The ridge 6 extends along the length of the connecting member 5 and has a waist hole 7 in the middle.

[0027] The first rib 3 and the second rib 4 have a first insertion end 8 and a second insertion end 9 at one end corresponding to the slots, respectively. The first rib 3 is a straight rib, and the end of the first rib 3 away from the first insertion end 8 is rotatably connected to the upper nest 10 on the umbrella pole 1. The second rib 4 is an arc-shaped rib except for the second insertion end 9. The first rib 3 and the second rib 4 are connected as a whole through the first insertion end 8, the second insertion end 9 and the connecting member 5.

[0028] The top surface of the connecting member 5 is in contact with the bottom surface of the umbrella surface 2. The inclined top surface can better fit the shape of the umbrella surface 2, and can avoid obvious bulges or depressions on the umbrella surface 2 caused by the installation of the connecting member 5. A fixing belt 11 corresponding to the connecting member 5 is also provided on the bottom surface of the umbrella surface 2. The fixing belt 11 passes through the waist hole 7 to fix the connecting member 5 to the bottom surface of the umbrella surface 2 to avoid a large gap at the connection between the connecting member 5 and the umbrella surface 2. This fixing method is convenient, reliable and easy to disassemble and assemble. In addition, the provision of the ridges 6 also strengthens the connecting member 5, improves the reliability of the overall structure of the connecting member 5, and makes it sturdy and durable.

[0029] In the above structure, the first rib 3 and the second rib 4 are both solid wood ribs or bamboo ribs. The split design of the first rib 3 and the second rib 4 facilitates the processing of the ribs, effectively reduces the manufacturing cost of the ribs, and makes them easier to transport, adapting to the increasingly developed online shopping environment; the design of the connecting member 5 is simple, reliable, and generous, and will not affect the aesthetics of the parasol. The design of the bottom ridge 6 cooperates with the fixing belt 11 at the bottom of the umbrella cover 2 to facilitate its disassembly and assembly, and also improves the strength of the connecting member 5, making it more sturdy and durable.

[0030] In another embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the connecting member 5 has two ridges 6 , and the two ridges 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the connecting member 5 , so that the fixing belt 11 fixes the connecting member 5 more firmly.

[0031] In another embodiment, one end of the fixing strap 11 is sewn to the umbrella cover 2, and the other end of the fixing strap 11 is provided with a first Velcro, and the umbrella cover 2 is provided with a second Velcro corresponding to each first Velcro. This structure makes the fixing strap 11 easier to fix.

[0032] In another embodiment, combined Figure 1-3 As shown, each end corner of the connecting member 5 is an arc chamfer.

[0033] In another embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the first insertion end 8 and the second insertion end 9 are respectively stepped, and the first insertion end 8 and the second insertion end 9 are respectively inserted into and matched with the two ends of the slot of the connector 5.

[0034] In another embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, each end corner on the first insertion end 8 and the second insertion end 9 is an oblique angle, so as to facilitate insertion into the slot for assembly.

[0035] In another embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the first insertion end 8 and the second insertion end 9 are further provided with a limiting portion 12 to prevent the first insertion end 8 and the second insertion end 9 from being inserted too deep or too shallow into the slot.

[0036] In another embodiment, the connecting member 5, the first insertion end 8 and the second insertion end 9 also have corresponding holes respectively, and long rod bolts are fixed on the corresponding holes to connect the connecting member 5, the first insertion end 8 and the second insertion end 9 into one.

[0037] In another embodiment, combined Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the hole on the top of the connecting member 5 is a countersunk hole.

[0038] In another embodiment, combined Figure 1-3 As shown, there are two groups of holes on the first insertion end 8, the second insertion end 9 and the connecting member 5, so that the connection between the first insertion end 8, the second insertion end 9 and the connecting member 5 is more reliable.
