[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] In the embodiments of the present invention, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature specified as "first," "second," or "third" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0029] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "install", "connect" and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0030] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the term "plurality" refers to two or more than two. Moreover, when "plurality" is used to express the number of different components, it does not indicate the relationship between the quantities of these components.

[0031] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the terms "comprises," "includes," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus comprising the element.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a simplified structural diagram of a long-handled umbrella.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a typical long-handled umbrella A includes a main body A1 and a head A2. Main body A1 further includes a canopy A11 and a handle A12. The handle A12 and head A2 can be located at either end of canopy A11. The handle A12 can be a straight handle or a crank handle, without limitation. Furthermore, in some implementations, the handle A12 can be equipped with a hooking rope A13.

[0034] As mentioned in the background technology section, in the related art, long-handled umbrellas are mainly stored in dedicated storage devices such as umbrella buckets or umbrella racks. In actual use, these storage devices are placed directly on the ground, occupying a relatively large space and are not suitable for use in residential homes with relatively limited indoor space.

[0035] To address this issue, the present invention provides an umbrella stand comprising a first and second split fixing unit, each of which can be installed and arranged separately. The novel and compact design significantly reduces installation space, making it suitable for use in residential buildings with relatively limited indoor space. Furthermore, when used in residential buildings, the stand is less likely to affect the cleanliness and aesthetics of the home environment.

[0036] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2-Figure 6, Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of an implementation method of an umbrella stand provided by an embodiment of the present utility model; Figure 3 for Figure 2 A schematic structural diagram of the first fixed unit; Figure 4 for Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the middle parachute body fixing parts; Figure 5 for Figure 4 Front view of Figure 6 for Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the hanging parts.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an umbrella stand that can be used to store long-handled umbrellas A. The umbrella stand includes a first fixing unit 100 and a second fixing unit 200.

[0038] The first fixing unit 100 includes a first base 110 and a fixing bracket 120. The fixing bracket 120 can be located on the first base 110. Specifically, the fixing bracket 120 and the first base 110 can be integrally formed; alternatively, the fixing bracket 120 and the first base 110 can be prepared separately and then assembled. Specific assembly methods include, but are not limited to, welding, screw connection, clamping, riveting, bonding, etc., as long as the reliability requirements of the connection can be guaranteed.

[0039] The first base 110 can be used for the installation and fixation of the first fixing unit 100, and the specific installation position can be a door surface, a cabinet surface, a wall surface, etc. Figure 3 As shown, in some implementations, the first base 110 may be provided with a first connection hole 111. During specific installation, the user may use a connection member in the form of a bolt, screw, nail, etc. to pass through the first connection hole 111 to achieve the installation and fixation of the first base 110. Alternatively, in some other implementations of the embodiment of the utility model, the first base 110 may also be installed and fixed by other means, as long as the reliability of the connection can be guaranteed; for example, the first base 110 may be provided with an adhesive backing on the side away from the fixing bracket 120, and the first base 110 may be glued and fixed by the adhesive backing; for another example, the first base 110 may be provided with a permanent magnet, and the first base 110 may be fixed to a door or cabinet made of ferromagnetic material by magnetic attraction.

[0040] The fixing bracket 120 is configured to be at least partially sleeved on the umbrella head A2 to support and fix the umbrella head A2.

[0041] In some optional implementations, the fixing bracket 120 may be an annular portion. The annular portion may be provided with a through hole extending along its axial direction, into which the umbrella head A2 can be inserted. In this case, the fixing bracket 120 may be a monolithic outer shell assembled onto the umbrella head A2. In this implementation, the through hole design reduces the accumulation of rainwater and other substances within the fixing bracket 120, making cleaning of the first fixing unit 100 easier after installation.

[0042] In one specific example, the fixing bracket 120 can be a closed ring, that is, the fixing bracket 120 can form a circumferentially closed structure. This allows the fixing bracket 120 to fully surround the umbrella head A2 circumferentially, further enhancing the fixing effect of the fixing bracket 120 on the umbrella head A2. It should be noted that in this implementation, the umbrella head A2 can only enter and exit the fixing bracket 120 along the axial direction of the long-handled umbrella A.

[0043] In another specific example, Figure 3 As shown, the annular portion of the fixing bracket 120 can also be configured as an open ring, with an opening 121 provided on the circumferential wall of the annular portion, rendering the annular portion non-enclosed in its circumferential direction. This configuration allows the umbrella head A2 to enter and exit the fixing bracket 120 both axially of the long-handled umbrella A and radially through the opening 121, providing a variety of ways for the umbrella head A2 to enter and exit the fixing bracket 120.

[0044] Here, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific size of the above-mentioned opening portion 121. In actual application, those skilled in the art can set it according to specific needs. It should be noted that the setting of the above-mentioned opening portion 121 needs to consider both the smoothness of the umbrella head A2 entering and exiting the fixing bracket 120 along the radial direction of the fixing bracket 120, and the reliability of the fixing bracket 120 wrapping and fixing the umbrella head A2. In a specific example, the central angle corresponding to the opening portion 121 can be less than 180°, for example, it can be set between 45 degrees and 75 degrees.

[0045] In some optional implementations, the fixing support 120 may include an annular portion and a supporting bottom portion. The annular portion may be either the closed ring or the open ring, which is not limited here. The supporting bottom portion may be located on one axial side of the annular portion. During specific use, the umbrella head A2 may be inserted into the annular portion axially or radially and may abut against the supporting bottom portion. The supporting bottom portion may abut against the umbrella head A2 axially. The supporting bottom portion and the annular portion cooperate to better support and fix the umbrella head A2, thereby enabling reliable storage of the long-handled umbrella A.

[0046] The fixing bracket 120 can be directly connected to the first base 110. Alternatively, Figure 3As shown, the first fixing unit 100 may further include a connecting portion 130 , and the fixing bracket 120 may be indirectly connected to the first base 110 via the connecting portion 130 , so that the distance between the fixing bracket 120 and the mounting surface can be conveniently adjusted.

[0047] The first fixing unit 100 may include a plurality of fixing brackets 120, each of which may be connected to the same first base 110, thereby improving the integration of the first fixing unit 100. Of course, in some other implementations of the present invention, the number of first bases 110 and the number of fixing brackets 120 may also be consistent. In this case, each fixing bracket 120 may be connected to each first base 110 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0048] The second fixing unit 200 can be arranged spaced apart from the first fixing unit 100 and is configured to secure the umbrella body A1. Thus, through the cooperation of the first fixing unit 100 and the second fixing unit 200, the embodiment of the present invention can simultaneously secure the umbrella head A2 and the umbrella body A1, enabling more reliable storage of the long-handled umbrella A.

[0049] In some optional implementations, the second fixing unit 200 may include a parachute fixing component 210 .

[0050] The canopy fixing member 210 can be configured with at least one receiving slot 211. Specifically, the canopy fixing member 210 can include slot sidewalls 212 and a slot bottom wall 213. Each receiving slot 211 can be configured with slot sidewalls 212 on both sides in the width direction, and a slot bottom wall 213 on one side in the depth direction. In other words, the receiving slot 211 is formed by enclosing two slot sidewalls 212 and one slot bottom wall 213. In actual use, the canopy portion A11 can be accommodated in the receiving slot 211 for storage.

[0051] Furthermore, a baffle portion 214 may be provided at one end of at least one of the slot sidewall portions 212, away from the slot bottom wall portion 213, and the baffle portion 214 may be partially located between the two slot sidewall portions 212. In this way, the baffle portion 214 may partially block the slot opening of the receiving slot 211, so that the receiving slot 211 may form a narrowed slot with a larger inner size and a smaller slot opening. After the umbrella body A11 enters the receiving slot 211 through the slot opening, it is more difficult for the umbrella body A11 to escape from the receiving slot 211 through the slot opening, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the umbrella body A11 stored in the receiving slot 211.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present invention, there can be multiple accommodating slots 211, so that multiple long-handled umbrellas A can be accommodated at the same time.

[0053] The slot sidewall 212 between two adjacent receiving slots 211 can be provided with a baffle 214. Specifically, the middle one of the three slot sidewalls 212 can be provided with a baffle 214, and the baffle 214 can extend toward the two slot sidewalls 212 on either side. In this way, a single baffle 214 can simultaneously partially shield the slot openings of two adjacent receiving slots 211, allowing the baffle 214 to function more effectively.

[0054] Of course, two baffle portions 214 may also be provided, and then the two baffle portions 214 respectively block the notches of two adjacent receiving grooves 211 .

[0055] Furthermore, the aforementioned design of the receiving groove 211 as a narrowing groove actually utilizes the baffle portion 214 to partially block the groove opening of the receiving groove 211. However, other methods can also be used to form a narrowing groove. For example, the distance between the two groove sidewall portions 212 can be controlled to decrease in the direction away from the groove bottom wall portion 213. Specifically, the extension direction of the groove sidewall portion 212 can be set to form an angle with the depth direction of the receiving groove 211, or the inner wall surface of the groove sidewall portion 212 can be set to a curved surface.

[0056] For each groove sidewall portion 212, at least a portion of the groove sidewall portion 212 may include two spaced-apart partition walls, which may be connected by a reinforcing rib 212a. In this way, the groove sidewall portions 212 may be combined to form a box-like structure, which may increase the structural strength of the groove sidewall portions 212, and accordingly, the structural strength of the entire umbrella body fixing component 210 may also be increased.

[0057] Combine Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, for each groove sidewall portion 212, groove sidewall portions 212 provided with baffle portions 214 and groove sidewall portions 212 provided with reinforcing ribs 212a can be alternately provided. In other words, groove sidewall portions 212 provided with baffle portions 214 do not need to be provided with reinforcing ribs 212a. In fact, the baffle portions 214 connected to the groove sidewall portions 212 themselves can also play a certain reinforcing role.

[0058] In some optional implementations, the umbrella body fixing component 210 may further include a connecting bottom plate 215, which may be connected to the groove sidewalls 212 and the groove bottom wall 213, and may be used to enhance the structural strength of the umbrella body fixing component 210. Furthermore, the connecting bottom plate 215 may be used to secure the umbrella body fixing component 210, and the specific installation location may also be a door surface, a cabinet surface, a wall surface, or the like.

[0059] The installation and fixing method of the connecting bottom plate 215 can be consistent with the first base 110 described above, and a repeated description will not be given here. Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the implementation method, the connecting base plate 215 can be provided with a second connecting hole 213a, and the second connecting hole 213a can also pass through the groove bottom wall portion 213 at the same time. During the specific installation, a connecting member in the form of a bolt, a screw, a nail, etc. can be used to pass through the second connecting hole 213a to achieve the installation and fixation of the umbrella body fixing component 210.

[0060] It should be understood that the connecting bottom plate 215 is not a component that must be provided. For an implementation in which the connecting bottom plate 215 does not exist, the umbrella body fixing component 210 can also be installed and fixed through the groove bottom wall portion 213.

[0061] In some optional implementations, the second fixing unit 200 may further include a hanging component 220 .

[0062] The hanging component 220 may include a second base portion 221 and a hanging ear 222, and the hanging ear 222 may be located on the second base portion 221. Specifically, the hanging ear 222 and the second base portion 221 may be integrally formed; alternatively, the hanging ear 222 and the second base portion 221 may be separately manufactured and then assembled. Specific assembly methods include, but are not limited to, welding, screw connection, clamping, riveting, bonding, etc., as long as the connection reliability requirements can be guaranteed.

[0063] The second base 221 can be used to install and fix the hanging component 220. The specific installation location can also be the surface of the door body, the surface of the cabinet, the wall surface, etc. The installation and fixing method of the second base 221 can be consistent with the above-mentioned first base 110, and no repetitive description is given here. Figure 6 In the implementation mode, the second base 221 can be provided with a third connection hole 221a. During the specific installation, a connecting piece in the form of a bolt, a screw, a nail, etc. can be used to pass through the third connection hole 221a to achieve the installation and fixation of the hanging component 220.

[0064] The hanging ear 222 is configured to be able to hang the hanging rope A13, thereby realizing the hanging of the long-handled umbrella A. The specific structural form of the hanging ear 222 is not limited here. In actual application, those skilled in the art can choose it according to actual needs, as long as it can meet the requirements of use; Figure 6 In the implementation manner, the hanging ear 222 can be a curved plate.

[0065] It should be noted that the umbrella body fixing component 210 and the hanging component 220 in the embodiment of the present invention can be used in conjunction with the first fixing unit 100. In other words, the umbrella stand in the embodiment of the present invention can only include the first fixing unit 100 and the hanging component 220, or can also only include the first fixing unit 100 and the umbrella body fixing component 210. Of course, if Figure 2 As shown, the umbrella stand in the embodiment of the present invention may also include a first fixing unit 100 , an umbrella body fixing component 210 and a hanging component 220 .

[0066] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
