[0002] A cane umbrella is a multi-functional tool that combines the functions of a cane and an umbrella. It not only provides shelter from rain on rainy days, protecting the user from water damage, but also functions as a cane when it's not raining, offering stable support for those with mobility issues or the elderly, reducing their burden, and increasing their confidence in traveling.

[0003] Existing cane umbrellas, such as the Chinese patent with publication number CN202022440545.8, disclose a detachable cane umbrella, including an umbrella body and a cane; the umbrella body includes an umbrella handle; an umbrella pole is fixedly connected to the top of the umbrella handle; the umbrella pole is connected to the umbrella canopy through the umbrella body frame; the umbrella body fixes the cane to the umbrella body through a fixing mechanism; the cane includes a fixing block; a support rod is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing block, and the cane handle is fixedly connected to the other end; a locking groove is formed on the side wall of the fixing block, and the end of the support rod is trapezoidal; the fixing mechanism includes a push plate, a transmission component, and a trapezoidal locking block; the side wall of the umbrella handle... A first groove is formed at the top, and a second groove is formed at the bottom; a first cavity is formed between the first and second grooves; a third groove is formed on the inner sidewall of the bottom end of the second groove; the bottom end of the push plate is fixed to the inner sidewall of the bottom end of the first groove by a spring, and a connecting rod is fixedly connected thereto; a transmission assembly is disposed in the first cavity; the end of the connecting rod away from the push plate extends into the first cavity and is fixedly connected to the transmission assembly; a trapezoidal locking block is fixedly connected to the end of the transmission assembly away from the connecting rod; a through hole is formed on the sidewall of the first cavity near the second groove; the trapezoidal end of the trapezoidal locking block extends into the second groove through the through hole;

[0004] During operation, the support rod and fixing block of the cane are inserted into the second and third grooves. When the fixing block is inserted into the second groove, the trapezoidal end pushes the trapezoidal locking block to retract, allowing the trapezoidal locking block to engage with the locking groove of the fixing block, thus securing the cane within the umbrella body. When the cane is needed, the push plate is pushed, causing it to move through the connecting rod to the transmission component. The movement of the transmission component causes the trapezoidal locking block to disengage from the locking groove of the fixing block, releasing the cane from the umbrella body for independent use. However, due to the numerous components in the fixing mechanism, this complex fixing and unlocking process may be difficult for the elderly and those with mobility impairments. Furthermore, its complex structure means that if the spring fails, the transmission component may jam, preventing the trapezoidal locking block from locking or unlocking correctly, resulting in a poor user experience.
