Specifically, when a user needs to adjust the angle of the umbrella pole, they can operate the locking assembly to unlock the first and second connecting bodies, allowing the first connecting body to rotate relative to the second connecting body. This changes the angle between the first and second connecting bodies, and consequently, the angle between the first and second poles, causing the umbrella surface to face different directions. Once the angle between the first and second connecting bodies is adjusted to a suitable angle, the locking assembly can be operated again to lock the first and second connecting bodies, ensuring the umbrella surface maintains a better sunshade position. This eliminates the need for frequent umbrella movement during use, alleviating joint pain and reducing user fatigue. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0047] The umbrella provided in this application embodiment may include an umbrella pole, an umbrella frame, and an umbrella canopy. The umbrella frame is connected to the umbrella pole, and the umbrella canopy covers the umbrella frame. The umbrella frame supports the umbrella canopy. The angle of the umbrella pole is adjustable, and in practical applications, the orientation of the umbrella canopy can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the umbrella pole. The umbrella pole is described in detail below.
[0048] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an angle adjustment component provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first connector and gear disk provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first connector provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a gear disk provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a second connector provided in an embodiment of this application. Figures 1-5 As shown, the umbrella pole may include a first pole (not shown), a second pole (not shown), and an angle adjustment component 100. The first pole can be connected to the aforementioned umbrella frame, and the second pole is located on the side of the first pole away from the umbrella frame; that is, the first pole and the second pole are the upper pole and the lower pole, respectively. The angle adjustment component 100 includes a first connecting body 110, a second connecting body 120, and a locking assembly 130. One end of the first connecting body 110 is connected to one end of the first pole, and one end of the second connecting body 120 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first connecting body 110. The locking assembly 130 is movably connected to the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120. The locking assembly 130 can lock or unlock the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120 in different states, thereby adjusting the angle between the first pole and the second pole, and locking the first pole and the second pole.
[0049] Specifically, when the user needs to adjust the angle of the umbrella pole, the locking component 130 can be operated to unlock the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120. The first connecting body 110 can rotate relative to the second connecting body 120, and the angle between the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120 changes. Correspondingly, the angle between the first pole and the second pole changes, causing the umbrella surface to face different directions. After the angle between the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120 is adjusted to a suitable angle, the locking component 130 can be operated again to lock the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120, so that the umbrella surface can be kept in a better sunshade position. The user does not need to frequently move the position of the umbrella during use, which can improve the symptoms of pain in the user's joints and relieve the fatigue generated during use.
[0050] In an optional embodiment, the umbrella may include a rain umbrella or a sun umbrella.
[0051] In an optional embodiment, the rotatable angle between the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 is within the range of 0-180°. Figure 1 For example, Figure 1 In the state shown, the angle between the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 is 0°.
[0052] In an optional embodiment, both the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 are rod-shaped structures. The end of the first connector 110 is rotatably connected to the end of the second connector 120, so that the overall length of the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 is relatively long when they are in the 180° position, making them suitable for more application scenarios.
[0053] In optional embodiments, the locking component 130 may be operated by pressing, pulling, rotating, or other methods.
[0054] like Figures 2-5 As shown, one end of the first connecting body 110 is provided with a first toothed groove 111, and one end of the second connecting body 120 is provided with a second toothed groove 121. The first toothed groove 111 and the second toothed groove 121 are arranged opposite to each other. Correspondingly, the locking assembly 130 may include a gear disk 131. When the gear disk 131 is engaged with the first toothed groove 111 and the second toothed groove 121, the gear disk 131 can lock the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120, so that the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120 are held at the current angle.
[0055] In practical applications, when the gear disk 131 separates from the first tooth groove 111 and / or the second tooth groove 121, the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120 are unlocked and can rotate relative to each other. The minimum angle of rotation is related to the number of teeth on the gear disk 131. The more teeth on the gear disk 131, the smaller the angle between two adjacent teeth, and the smaller the minimum angle of rotation that the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120 can rotate in the unlocked state. After the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120 have rotated to a suitable angle, the gear disk 131 can be engaged with the first tooth groove 111 and the second tooth groove 121 simultaneously to lock the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120 again.
[0056] Specifically, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an adjustment component provided in one embodiment of this application. Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking assembly 130 may further include an adjusting member 132, a portion of which is located outside the first connecting body 110, and another portion of which passes through the first connecting body 110 and connects to the gear disk 131. Thus, when the user needs to adjust the umbrella pole angle, the portion of the adjusting member 132 located outside the first connecting body 110 can be operated. The adjusting member 132 can drive the gear disk 131 to disengage from the first tooth groove 111 and the second tooth groove 121, thereby unlocking the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120. Similarly, when the angle between the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120 is adjusted to a suitable angle, the user can again operate the adjusting member 132 (or the adjusting member 132 automatically resets, as described later) located outside the first connecting body 110. The adjusting member can drive the gear disk 131 to engage with the first tooth groove 111 and the second tooth groove 121, thereby locking the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120.
[0057] It should be understood that a portion of the adjusting member 132 is located on the outside of the first connecting body 110, which facilitates user operation and improves the efficiency of angle adjustment between the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120.
[0058] like Figure 6 As shown, the adjusting component 132 may include a connecting rod 1321 and a button 1322. One end of the connecting rod 1321 passes through the first connecting body 110 and is connected to the gear disk 131. The button 1322 is connected to the end of the connecting rod 1321 away from the gear disk 131, and the button 1322 is located on the outside of the first connecting body 110. It should be understood that the button 1322 is convenient for the operator to press, and the operation is simple and quick.
[0059] like Figure 6As shown, the adjusting member 132 may also include an elastic body, which is disposed between the button 1322 and the first connecting body 110, with the opposite ends of the elastic body connected to the button 1322 and the first connecting body 110 respectively.
[0060] In practical applications, when the user presses button 1322, button 1322 pushes gear disk 131 to disengage from first tooth groove 111 via connecting rod 1321. First connecting body 110 can rotate relative to second connecting body 120, and elastic body is in a compressed state. After rotating first connecting body 110 relative to second connecting body 120 to a suitable angle, the user releases button 1322. Under the action of restoring force, elastic body drives connecting rod 1321 to reset. Connecting rod 1321 pulls gear disk 131 to re-engage with first tooth groove 111. At this time, gear disk 131 once again engages with both first tooth groove 111 and second tooth groove 121 simultaneously, and first connecting body 110 and second connecting body 120 are in a locked state.
[0061] It should be understood that the structure of the elastomer, button 1322 and connecting rod 1321 used in the embodiments of this application is simpler overall, requires fewer parts, has lower manufacturing and maintenance costs, and has better overall stability, while facilitating users to quickly lock or unlock the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120.
[0062] In optional embodiments, the elastomer may include a spring, an elastic strip, etc.
[0063] like Figure 6 As shown, there are two connecting rods 1321, which are symmetrically arranged about the rotation axes of the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120. Thus, when the user presses button 1322, the two connecting rods 1321 can simultaneously push the gear disk 131 out of the first slot. The gear disk 131 is less prone to tilting or jamming during the pushing process, improving the overall structural stability.
[0064] like Figure 6 As shown, the connecting rod 1321 is provided with a limiting buckle 1323. After the connecting rod 1321 passes through the first connecting body 110, the limiting buckle 1323 can abut against the first connecting body 110 in the opposite direction, thereby restricting the connecting rod 1321 from detaching from the first connecting body 110.
[0065] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a limiting protrusion 112 is provided in the first tooth groove 111, and a limiting hole 1311 is provided in the gear disk 131. When the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120 are locked, the limiting protrusion 112 cooperates with the limiting hole 1311, so that the gear disk 131 can be fixed in the first tooth groove 111 and is not easy to fall out of the first tooth groove 111, which can help the gear disk 131 play a better locking role.
[0066] It should be understood that during the unlocking process, the adjusting component 132 drives the gear disk 131 to disengage from the first slot, and the limiting protrusion 112 also disengages from the limiting hole 1311. The limiting protrusion 112 no longer limits the gear disk 131, and the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120 are in the unlocked state, which facilitates the rotation of the first connecting body 110 and the adjustment of the angle between the first connecting body 110 and the second connecting body 120.
[0067] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple limiting protrusions 112, which are distributed circumferentially along the first tooth groove 111. Correspondingly, there are multiple limiting holes 1311, which are distributed circumferentially along the gear disk 131. It should be understood that the multiple limiting protrusions 112 and the multiple limiting holes 1311 cooperate with each other to improve the assembly stability of the gear disk 131 within the first tooth groove 111, and in the locked state, it is not easy for the gear disk 131 to disengage from the first tooth groove 111.
[0068] In an optional embodiment, a portion of the limiting hole 1311 engages with the limiting protrusion 112, while another portion of the limiting hole 1311 can be used to pass through the aforementioned connecting rod 1321.
[0069] like Figures 1-5 As shown, one end of the first connector 110 is provided with a first housing 113 and a first clearance groove 114, and the aforementioned first tooth groove 111 is provided in the first housing 113. One end of the second connector 120 is provided with a second housing 122 and a second clearance groove 123, and the second tooth groove 121 is provided in the second housing 122.
[0070] In practical applications, the first housing 113 and the second housing 122 cooperate to form an inner cavity for accommodating the gear disk 131. The aforementioned connecting rod 1321 passes through the first housing 113, enters the inner cavity, and is then connected to the gear disk 131.
[0071] It should be noted that when the first housing 113 and the second housing 122 cooperate with each other, the first housing 113 is housed in the second clearance groove 123 and the second housing 122 is housed in the first clearance groove 114. In this way, the space occupied by the first housing 113 and the second housing 122 in the radial direction of the umbrella shaft can be reduced, and the space utilization rate in the radial direction of the umbrella shaft can be improved.
[0072] In an optional embodiment, the first housing 113 and the second housing 122 are detachably connected to each other via a snap-fit structure, which facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the gear disk 131.
[0073] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application are included within the scope of protection of this application.
