DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] 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.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4The utility model provides an embodiment of a foldable landscape awning, comprising two support frames 1, two mounting frames 2 being fixedly connected to adjacent sides of the two support frames 1, a folding mechanism being provided inside the mounting frames 2, a sunshade surface 7 being fitted to adjacent sides of the two mounting frames 2, a drainage component being provided outside the sunshade surface 7, a water storage component being provided inside one of the support frames 1, and a cleaning component being provided inside the support frame 1.

[0028] Specifically, the support frame 1 and the mounting frame 2 are made of sturdy and durable materials to ensure the stability of the overall structure. A folding mechanism is provided inside the mounting frame 2, so that the sunshade surface 7 can be folded and stored when not in use. The sunshade surface 7 is made of high-strength flexible material with good weather resistance, waterproofness and UV resistance. The adjacent side of the sunshade surface 7 is in contact with the two mounting frames 2 to ensure stable shading when unfolded. The drainage component can effectively collect and guide rainwater into the water storage component during rainfall, and the cleaning component can clean and dredge the water storage component to improve water storage efficiency.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The folding mechanism includes two sliding rods 3, which are respectively fixedly connected to the inside of the two mounting frames 2. The outside of the sliding rods 3 is slidably connected to multiple sliders 4. The outside of the rear slider 4 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting frame 2, and the inside of the mounting frame 2 is slidably connected to the outside of other sliders 4. The adjacent sides of the left and right sliders 4 are rotatably connected to a hinged frame 5. The bottom end of the front slider 4 is fixedly connected to a pull ring 6, and the top of the hinged frame 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sunshade surface 7.

[0030] Specifically, the mounting frame 2 is designed to be slightly inclined, and the two slide bars 3 are respectively fixedly connected to the inside of the two mounting frames 2 to form a stable supporting structure. The slide bars 3 and the mounting frame 2 limit the slider 4, so that the slider 4 is stable when moving. By fixing the rear slider 4, one end of the articulated frame 5 is stabilized, and the pull ring 6 can drive the front slider 4 to move and drive the other sliders 4 to move. At the same time, the articulated frame 5 will rotate accordingly, thereby driving the sunshade surface 7 to fold.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The drainage component includes a plurality of drainage blocks 8, which are evenly fixedly connected to the top of the sunshade surface 7. The water storage component includes a water tank 9, which is opened inside one of the support frames 1. The left and right sides of the water tank 9 are fixedly connected with a filter screen 10. The bottom end of the filter screen 10 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 11, and the bottom ends of the two connecting pipes 11 are fixedly connected to a water tank 12.

[0032] Specifically, the direction and speed of the water flow can be guided by the drainage block 8, and the inclined state thereof can promote the water flow to the water storage tank 9. The drainage block 8 is also made of flexible material and is arranged inside the support frame 1 through the water storage tank 9, so that it can withstand a certain water pressure. The impurities in the water can be removed by the filter 10 to protect the subsequent water treatment and water storage tank 12. The bottom end of the connecting pipe 11 is connected to the water storage tank 12 to ensure that water can flow smoothly. Rainwater can be stored and utilized through the water storage tank 12. A connection port is installed on the bottom side of the water storage tank 12, which can be connected to an external pipe for use of the rainwater inside.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cleaning assembly includes four guide rods 13, which are respectively fixedly connected to the four corners of the inner wall of the water tank 9. The outer sleeve of the guide rod 13 is provided with a spring 14, one end of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water tank 9, and the outer sides of the front and rear guide rods 13 are slidably connected with a moving block 15, the interior of the water tank 9 is slidably connected to the outer side of the moving block 15, the other end of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the moving block 15, the inner side of the moving block 15 is slidably connected with a cleaning brush 16, and the outer side of the cleaning brush 16 abuts against the outer side of the filter 10, and the separated sides of the left and right moving blocks 15 are fixedly connected with a pull rope 17, the interior of the support frame 1 is slidably connected to the outer side of the pull rope 17, and one of the inner sides of one of the support frames 1 is rotatably connected to two fixed pulleys 18, the outer side of the pull rope 17 is slidably connected to the outer side of the fixed pulley 18, and one end of the pull rope 17 is fixedly connected to a pull ring 2 19.

[0034] Specifically, the guide rod 13 can provide stable support for the spring 14 and the moving block 15. One end of the spring 14 is fixed to the inner wall of the water tank 9, and the other end is connected to the moving block 15 to ensure that the moving block 15 can move smoothly during the cleaning process and reset when necessary. The moving block 15 is slidably connected to the guide rod 13 so that it can move freely on the guide rod 13. A cleaning brush 16 is slidably connected inside, which is responsible for cleaning dirt or debris inside the water tank 9. The outside of the cleaning brush 16 abuts against the filter screen 10 to ensure that it can effectively contact the dirt during cleaning. The moving block 15 can be driven to move by the pull rope 17, thereby driving the cleaning brush 16 to clean the filter screen 10. The fixed pulley 18 can help the pull rope 17 to slide smoothly and reduce friction. The user can conveniently pull the pull rope 17 through the pull ring 2 19.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6A clamping assembly is provided inside the moving block 15, and the clamping assembly includes four mounting grooves 20. The four mounting grooves 20 are respectively opened on the front and rear sides of the two moving blocks 15. The inner wall of the mounting groove 20 is fixedly connected with a spring 21, and the bottom end of the spring 21 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 22. The inside of the mounting groove 20 is slidably connected to the outside of the limiting block 22, and the bottom end of the limiting block 22 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 23. The bottom ends of the connecting rods 23 on the front and rear sides are fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning brush 16.

[0036] Specifically, the mounting groove 20 and the limit block 22 fix the spring 21, so that the spring 21 can provide a certain elasticity, so that the limit block 22 can maintain a stable pressure during movement. The mounting groove 20 limits the limit block 22, so that the limit block 22 can move stably. The movement of the limit block 22 can be transmitted to the cleaning brush 16 through the connecting rod 23, so that it can stably clean the filter 10.

[0037] Working principle: When the sunshade surface 7 needs to be folded according to the sunlight and weather, the pull ring 1 6 is pulled to move toward the rear side, thereby driving the front slider 4 to move with it, and then driving the front articulated frame 5 to fold the sunshade surface 7, so that the front slider 4 squeezes the rear slider 4 to move, so that the rear articulated frame 5 can drive the remaining sunshade surface 7 to fold, thereby completing the folding use of the sunshade surface 7;

[0038] In addition, when it rains, the slightly tilted angle of the sunshade surface 7 and the multiple drainage blocks 8 on its outside allow rainwater to flow into the water storage tank 9, where it is filtered through the filter screen 10 and then flows along the connecting pipe 11 to the water storage tank 12 for storage.

[0039] In addition, when the filter 10 is clogged with mud, dust and other impurities in rainwater, the pull rope 17 is driven to move by pulling the pull ring 2 19, and the pull rope 17 drives the left and right moving blocks 15 to move toward the side away from each other, and the moving blocks 15 drive the cleaning brush 16 to clean the filter 10. Through the elastic action of the spring 14, loosening the pull ring 2 19 can reset the moving block 15, so that the pull ring 2 19 can be pulled multiple times to clean the filter 10. At the same time, through the elastic action of the spring 2 21, the limit block 22 can be driven to squeeze the connecting rod 23 downward, so that the connecting rod 23 squeezes the cleaning brush 16, further enhancing the squeezing force of the cleaning brush 16 on the filter 10, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0040] 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. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
