[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.
[0024] Based on the described embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure should be understood in their ordinary sense by those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains.

Similarly, the terms “a,” “one,” or “the” do not indicate a quantity limitation, but rather indicate the presence of at least one. The terms “including” or “contains” mean that the element or object preceding the word covers the element or object listed after the word and its equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. The terms “connected” or “linked” are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. The terms “upper,” “lower,” “left,” and “right” are used only to indicate relative positional relationships, and these relative positional relationships may change accordingly when the absolute position of the described object changes.
[0026] See appendix Figure 1-4 The diagram shows a rotating umbrella handle structure. The handle includes a central rod 1 and a handle body 2 of a certain length. The handle body 2 has a first groove 3. The lower part of the central rod 1 is rotatably connected to the handle body 2. The central rod 1 rotates relative to the handle body 2 so that it is nested within the first groove 3 along its length direction. That is, when the central rod 1 is embedded in the first groove 3, the length extension directions of both are the same (see appendix). Figure 3 Furthermore, one end of the handle 2 that is opposite to the first channel 3 extends below the middle rod 1.
[0027] The center stick can be made of various materials such as metal, plastic, and wood, while the handle is generally made of plastic, which has a certain degree of elasticity and a comfortable grip. The handle 2 has a certain length, generally around 5-6 cm, and can be roughly cylindrical, cuboid, or other shapes. Its outline can be customized to enhance the aesthetics of the umbrella handle. The handle 2 engages with the center stick 1 by rotating. (See appendix.) Figure 1 The handle 2 and the center stick 1 are roughly perpendicular to each other, forming a T-shape. This does not increase the length of the center stick 1. In this configuration, the umbrella can be folded, occupying minimal space, or it can be opened. Holding the center stick 1, the handle 2 rests under the user's palm, providing a stable grip. (See appendix) Figure 3 The handle 2 rotates relative to the center rod 1, causing the lower part of the center rod 1 to nest into the first groove 3 along its length. The first groove 3's coverage of the center rod 1 ensures a very stable fit between the two. The end of the handle 2 that faces away from the first groove 3 is located below the center rod 1, effectively extending the length of the center rod 1 by 2-3 centimeters for easier grip. Thus, rotating the handle 2 allows for different engagement states with the center rod 1, enabling users to adjust the handle 2 according to their specific needs when opening and closing the umbrella.
[0028] Specifically, the upper part of the first channel 3 is open to form a first slot 300. The inner end of the first channel 3 is located in the middle of the handle 2. The central rod 1 is installed in the inner end of the first channel 3. The outer end of the first channel 3 extends to the handle end on one side of the handle 2, and forms a first port 301 at the handle end. The central rod 1 is installed in the inner end of the first channel 3 through the first slot 300. The handle 2 and the central rod 1 rotate relative to each other, so that the central rod 1 fits into the first channel 3 through the first slot 300 and then passes out through the first port 301. The lower periphery of the central rod 1 is covered by the first channel 3, ensuring the stability of the nesting effect.
[0029] Furthermore, a positioning protrusion 303 for stabilizing the central rod 1 is provided on the upper side wall of the first channel 3. Specifically, positioning protrusions 303 can be provided on both sides of the upper side wall at the inner and outer ends of the first channel 3. When the handle 2 is rotated to make the central rod 1 insert into the first channel 3, the positioning protrusion can strengthen the restraining effect on the central rod 1, and the central rod 1 will have a slight change in tension and a slight sound when passing through the positioning protrusion. The user can feel that the central rod 1 and the handle 2 are properly rotated and matched, resulting in a better user experience.
[0030] In some embodiments, a rotating base 4 is installed in the first channel 3, and the central rod 1 is connected to the rotating base 4. The rotating base 4 is installed downwards to the inner end of the first channel 3 via the first slot 300. The rotating base 4 can rotate relative to the first channel 3, and then the bottom end of the central rod 1 is connected to the rotating base 4. Using a base to achieve the cooperation between the central rod 1 and the handle 2 can reduce the structural modification of the existing central rod 1, making this structure more suitable for commonly used umbrellas.
[0031] Furthermore, a supporting step 401 is formed between the upper and lower parts of the rotating base 4. The upper part of the rotating base 4 is inserted into the middle rod 1, and the supporting step 401 abuts against the middle rod 1. The upper radial dimension of the rotating base 4 is smaller, and the lower radial dimension is larger, thereby forming the supporting step 401. The interior of the bottom end of the middle rod 1 is hollow, and the upper part of the rotating base 4 is inserted into it, while the bottom end of the middle rod 1 abuts against the supporting step 401, making the connection between the two very stable.
[0032] The lower part of the rotating base 4 is provided with a rotating shaft 400, and the side wall of the first channel 3 is provided with a shaft hole 302, in which the rotating shaft 400 is installed. Specifically, rotating shafts 400 are provided on both sides of the lower part of the rotating base 4, and shaft holes 302 are respectively provided on the side walls of the first channel 3. Each rotating shaft 400 is inserted into the corresponding shaft hole 302, so that the rotating base 4 can rotate relative to the first channel 3.
[0033] In some embodiments, a second channel 5 is provided at one end of the handle 2 opposite to the first channel 3. A second opening is provided at the upper part of the second channel 5. An elastic stop plate 500 is provided at the inner end of the second channel 5, located beside the central rod 1. An end plate 502 is provided at the outer end of the second channel 5. The stop plate 500 prevents the central rod 1 from rotating towards the second channel 5. The stop plate 500 and end plate 502 at both ends of the second channel 5 allow the hook to be inserted into the second channel 5 for hanging the umbrella. The plates at both ends prevent the hook from detaching.
[0034] Furthermore, the bottom of the stop plate 500 is connected to the bottom of the second channel 5, and gaps 501 are formed between both sides of the stop plate 500 and the second channel 5. Therefore, the stop plate 500 has a certain degree of elasticity. When the user accidentally rotates the central rod 1 towards the stop plate 500, the stop plate 500 provides elastic cushioning while resisting, preventing overly rigid contact with the central rod 1 and thus avoiding structural damage.
[0035] In some embodiments, a third channel (not shown) is provided at one end of the handle 2 opposite to the first channel 3. The upper part of the third channel has a third opening for the central rod 1 to be rotatably inserted into the third channel. The inner end of the third channel communicates with the inner end of the first channel 3, and the outer end of the third channel extends along a direction opposite to the first channel 3 to the other end of the handle 2, forming a second port. In this case, the central rod 1 can be inserted into the first channel 3, so that the end of the handle 2 with the third channel extends below the central rod 1; or the central rod 1 can be rotated to insert into the third channel, so that the end of the handle 2 with the first channel 3 extends below the central rod 1. That is, the central rod 1 can be rotated to either end of the handle 2, making operation convenient.
[0036] An umbrella is provided having an umbrella frame, the umbrella frame being fitted with an umbrella handle structure as described in any of the preceding claims.
[0037] In summary, the improved umbrella handle structure allows the handle 2 to rotate relative to the center rod 1, controlling the engagement state with the center rod 1 and enabling adjustment of the length of the center rod 1. This allows users to make adjustments according to their actual needs and use the umbrella more effectively.
[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can have various modifications, combinations, and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
