Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor sunshade technology, and in particular to a novel cross-opening outdoor sunshade. Background Technology
[0002] Outdoor umbrellas, also known as sun umbrellas, Roman umbrellas, center-pole umbrellas, banana umbrellas, etc., are widely used in plazas, beaches, parks, and courtyards, providing people with comfortable spaces for relaxation and shade. Based on their canopy structure, outdoor umbrellas can generally be divided into two types: side umbrellas and center-pole umbrellas. The main difference lies in how the canopy is opened. Side umbrellas typically have the canopy pillar located on one side, such as Roman umbrellas and banana umbrellas. Center-pole umbrellas, on the other hand, have the pillar located in the center, with the canopy spreading outwards from the pillar.
[0003] Among side umbrellas, banana umbrellas and similar products are typically suitable for smaller canopy sizes due to the structural characteristics of their pillars and frames. Furthermore, traditional banana umbrellas usually cannot adjust the angle of the canopy. Roman umbrellas, hailed as the most functional outdoor sun umbrellas, can rotate a full circle horizontally and tilt 90 degrees vertically. Using Roman umbrellas for sunshade is the most creative and casual way to provide shade in the Chinese market. The open area under the umbrella allows for the placement of outdoor furniture; the canopy can be freely rotated to easily block sunlight. Compared to other umbrellas, Roman umbrellas offer better sunshade and are more convenient to use.
[0004] Existing side-standing Roman umbrellas also come in two types of opening and closing methods. One type uses a crank mechanism to retract the umbrella cords and open or close the umbrella canopy. The other type uses a cross-pole structure, which uses the changes in the cross-pole structure to open or close the umbrella canopy.
[0005] For example, CN213154477U discloses a handrail mechanism and an outdoor umbrella with a sliding opening and closing umbrella structure. The mechanism includes a handrail housing for sliding cooperation with a side support pole. The side support pole has a locking part and a lower limit component at its upper and lower ends, respectively. When the handrail housing slides to its highest position on the side support pole, it drives the outdoor umbrella to open and locks with the locking part of the side support pole. When the handrail housing slides to its lowest position on the side support pole, it drives the outdoor umbrella to close and engages with the lower limit component. This invention features a handrail housing that slides up and down on the side support pole, enabling the opening and closing of the umbrella assembly. It has the advantages of simple structure, convenient installation, easy operation, and low production cost.
[0006] However, during long-term use, the umbrella fabric is frequently subjected to shearing forces from the opening and closing of the upper and lower diagonal braces due to the cross structure between them, making the fabric prone to damage and affecting its lifespan. Utility Model Content
[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model aims to provide a novel cross-opening outdoor sunshade umbrella, which optimizes the use of a hinged base to prevent damage to the umbrella fabric.

[0030] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.
[0031] Combination Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this utility model discloses a novel cross-opening outdoor sunshade umbrella, including an umbrella column 100, a cross umbrella pole assembly 300, and an umbrella frame 600. The outer surface of the umbrella frame 600 is covered with an umbrella fabric 500, and an umbrella pole through hole 510 is provided on it. The cross umbrella pole assembly 300 includes a first cross umbrella pole 310 and a second cross umbrella pole 320. The second cross umbrella pole 320 passes through the umbrella pole through hole 510. One end of the first cross umbrella pole 310 is hinged to the armrest mechanism 200 in the umbrella column 100, and the other end is hinged to the upper umbrella plate 610 in the umbrella frame 600. One end of the second cross umbrella pole 320 is hinged to the upper end of the umbrella column 100, and the other end is hinged to the umbrella frame. The lower umbrella tray 620 in 600 is hinged, and the armrest mechanism 200 can move up and down along the umbrella column 100. When the sun umbrella is in the closed state, the armrest mechanism 200 is usually located at the lower part of the umbrella column 100. As the armrest mechanism 200 moves up along the umbrella column, it drives the first cross umbrella pole 310 to move, causing the first cross umbrella pole 310 and the second cross umbrella pole 320 to undergo X-shaped deformation. As the armrest mechanism 200 moves up, the upper umbrella tray 610 and the lower umbrella tray 620 located at the other end gradually move closer together, realizing the unfolding of the umbrella frame 600. Conversely, when the armrest mechanism 200 moves down along the umbrella column 100, it changes from the open state to the closed state.
[0032] In combination with the above, the first cross umbrella pole 310 is usually provided with a first mounting seat 312, a second mounting seat 313 and a first cross umbrella pole body 311 at both ends. The first mounting seat 312 is used to hinge with the handrail mechanism 200, and the second mounting seat 313 is used to hinge with the upper umbrella plate 610.
[0033] In conjunction with the above, a cross groove 321 is provided on the second cross umbrella pole 320, and the first cross umbrella pole 310 passes through the cross groove 321, so that the first cross umbrella pole 310 and the second cross umbrella pole 320 form a cross structure. The cross groove 321 facilitates the X-shaped deformation of the first cross umbrella pole 310 and the second cross umbrella pole 320. A hinge seat 330 is provided on the first cross umbrella pole 310, and the hinge seat 330 is partially or completely accommodated in the cross groove 321. The hinge seat 330 is used to hinge with the side wall of the cross groove 321. Specifically, the hinge seat 330 includes a fixed base 332 and a hinge base 331. The fixed base 332 is used to fix and install the first cross umbrella pole 310 to the upper surface of the middle part. The hinge base 331 is located above the fixed base 332. The hinge base 331 includes two hinge sidewalls 333, which are matched with the inner sidewall of the cross groove 321. This makes the hinge base 330 form an outward convex structure, which moves the hinge position between the first cross umbrella rod 310 and the second cross umbrella rod 320 upward. The hinge point between the hinge base 330 and the cross groove 321 protrudes outward from the outer surface of the umbrella fabric 500. By adopting the convex structure design of the hinge base 330, its hinge position is located outside the umbrella fabric 500. When the first cross umbrella rod 310 and the second cross umbrella rod 320 are opened and closed, they can avoid shearing force on the umbrella fabric 500 and increase the service life of the umbrella fabric 500.
[0034] In the specific structure, a first hinge shaft hole 334 is provided on the hinge sidewall 333, and a second hinge shaft hole 328 is provided on the inner sidewall of the cross groove 321. The first hinge shaft hole 334 and the second hinge shaft hole 328 are fitted through the hinge shaft to facilitate the formation of a hinge structure. The hinge shaft is a commonly used component in the prior art.
[0035] In conjunction with the above, the second cross umbrella pole 320 includes a first umbrella pole seat 323, a second umbrella pole seat 324, and a second cross umbrella pole body 322. The first umbrella pole seat 323 is provided with a first umbrella pole insert 325, and the second umbrella pole seat 324 is provided with a second umbrella pole insert 326. The first umbrella pole insert 325 is embedded in one end of the second cross umbrella pole body 322, and the second umbrella pole insert 326 is embedded in the other end of the second cross umbrella pole body 322. An umbrella pole base 110 is provided at the upper end of the umbrella column 100, and a hinge groove 111 is provided on the umbrella pole base 110 for hinge engagement with the first umbrella pole seat 323. An umbrella disc seat 621 is provided on the lower umbrella disc 620, and an umbrella pole hinge seat 327 is provided on the second umbrella pole seat 324 for hinge engagement with the umbrella disc seat 621, facilitating the assembly and installation of the second cross umbrella pole 320.
[0036] In one preferred embodiment, the second cross umbrella pole body 322 is an integral structure.
[0037] In one preferred embodiment, the second cross umbrella pole body 322 includes two second cross umbrella pole arms 3221 arranged in parallel at intervals, and a reinforcing plate 3222 is connected between the two second cross umbrella pole arms 3221.
[0038] This utility model optimizes the hinge structure of the first cross umbrella pole 310 and the second cross umbrella pole 320 by adopting a protruding structure design of the hinge seat 330, so that its hinge position is located outside the umbrella fabric 500. When the first cross umbrella pole 310 and the second cross umbrella pole 320 are opened and closed, they can avoid shearing force on the umbrella fabric 500 and increase the service life of the umbrella fabric.
[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, or alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical principles of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
