[0002] Currently, Roman umbrellas are widely used as outdoor sunshades in leisure areas such as courtyards and beaches. However, most existing Roman umbrellas are single-function and lack sufficient light adjustment capabilities. Traditional Roman umbrellas cannot automatically adjust the degree of shading according to the intensity of external light. They may not provide sufficient shading when the sunlight is too strong, while blocking too much light in dim light, affecting the user's visual experience and comfort under the umbrella. They also cannot automatically adjust the lighting of the surrounding environment, and the overall light height and angle cannot be adjusted. The overall structure is not flexible enough to adapt to different lighting conditions. Utility Model Content

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a technical solution: a Roman umbrella with automatic light adjustment, including an electric telescopic frame, a shelf on the electric telescopic frame, a controller on the shelf to adjust and control the driving components, a lifting platform at the extension end of the electric telescopic frame, a positioning seat at the top of the lifting platform, an electric telescopic rod hinged to one side of the positioning seat, a hanging frame hinged to the extension end of the electric telescopic rod, and a pin connecting the positioning seat to the hanging frame. Activating the electric telescopic rod causes the hanging frame to change angle. A drive box is located at one end of the hanging frame, containing a drive mechanism. A sunshade is located below the drive mechanism and mounted on the umbrella frame. The umbrella frame is mounted on the hanging frame. At the bottom of the locator at one end of the mounting bracket, the umbrella frame consists of a movable block and a movable skeleton connected to the movable block via a pin. A transition shaft is installed inside the locator, connecting to a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a transmission gear, which is fitted with the transition shaft. A drive gear meshes with one side of the transmission gear. The drive gear is mounted on the motor drive end, and the motor is housed in a drive box. A solar panel is installed on the top of the drive box for self-generation. A power storage device is installed inside the drive box, connected to the solar panel to convert solar energy into electrical energy for storage. An adjusting screw is connected to the bottom of the transition shaft, threaded into the movable block of the umbrella frame. The movable skeleton... The frame is equipped with a light strip assembly, which can be quickly and easily installed on the movable frame. The light strip assembly includes a mounting rubber strip with slots at both the top and bottom. The upper slot engages with the movable frame, while the lower slot holds the lighting strip. A dimming mechanism is located at the bottom of the adjusting screw, used to increase or decrease the ambient light. This mechanism includes a dimming base with a ring-shaped light assembly at its bottom. A wireless receiver is located in the center of the ring-shaped light assembly for remote dimming. Multiple guide cylinders are arranged circumferentially within the dimming base, and supplementary lighting components are installed within these guide cylinders to further increase illumination. These supplementary lighting components include a miniature electric cylinder. The miniature electric cylinder is located at one end of the guide cylinder, and the extension end of the miniature electric cylinder is equipped with a supplementary light tube assembly. The supplementary light tube assembly is spaced within the guide cylinder and can be immediately deployed to enhance the lighting when supplementary lighting is needed. A constant voltage dimming power supply is installed in the dimming base. One end of the constant voltage dimming power supply is electrically connected to a wireless receiver, and the other end is electrically connected to the ring light assembly and the lighting strip of the light strip assembly, thereby adjusting the light intensity. Multiple Velcro panels are installed on the inner side of the awning. The multiple Velcro panels are circumferentially distributed, and reflective fabric is attached to each of the multiple Velcro panels to enhance the light range. A light sensor is installed on the reflective fabric, and the light sensor is electrically connected to the constant voltage dimming power supply in the adjustment base to freely adjust the light intensity according to the light intensity.
[0022] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows: The electric telescopic frame is activated via the controller to adjust its height, facilitating the adjustment of the lighting height. Activating the electric telescopic rod causes the hanging frame to rotate, thus adjusting the lighting. Starting the motor drives the adjusting screw to rotate, causing the movable block of the umbrella frame to rise and fall along the adjusting screw, thereby expanding and contracting the umbrella frame. The reflective fabric inside the awning diffuses the light, and the light sensor on the reflective fabric can detect the light intensity in real time. When the light is too dim, the lighting strips and ring lights are turned on to provide illumination, and automatic dimming is achieved through a constant voltage dimming power supply. Simultaneously, depending on the environment, a miniature electric cylinder is activated to extend the supplementary lighting tube assembly for further supplementary lighting. This is suitable for environments that are too dark. Remote control via a wireless receiver allows for free control and selection of lighting, making operation very convenient.
