Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive sunshade technology, specifically relating to a quick-release automotive sunshade. Background Technology

[0002] Awnings provide shelter from wind and rain for people's leisure and entertainment. The basic structure of an awning includes a frame and an extendable or retractable awning cloth. The frame is equipped with a winding device for extending and retracting the awning cloth.

[0003] Chinese patent application number 202210235286.6 discloses a car sunshade, located on the side of a vehicle body, comprising a canopy, a roller, and a gearbox. The gearbox includes a housing and a drive shaft, a first gear component, and a second gear component housed within the housing. The second gear component is coaxially connected to the end of the roller, and the first gear component meshes with the second gear component. The drive shaft is splined into the first gear component, and the front end of the drive shaft has a polygonal protruding locking pin. A locking cavity is fixed within the housing. The locking pin on the drive shaft is inserted into the locking cavity, and the gearbox locks the rotation of the roller. When the drive shaft moves backward a certain distance under external force, the locking pin leaves the locking cavity, thus unlocking the gearbox. A return spring is provided on the drive shaft, which can move the drive shaft forward to remain locked, preventing the canopy from being released due to vibration.

[0004] The awning has a complex structure and is cumbersome to operate. It lacks a limit for the retraction of the awning fabric and cannot lock the extension length in the middle stage when the car awning is stretched. In addition, most awning fabrics in the existing technology are retracted into the shell and the sealing of the storage box is indicated by a zipper. The zipper is prone to damage after long-term use. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a quick-release car sunshade. The technical problem it solves is that most existing car sunshades have complex structures, making it impossible to quickly release or retract the sunshade, and also impossible to lock the extension length in the middle stage.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides a quick-release car sunshade, including a release box, a fixing component, a canopy, a support rod, a retraction limiting component, and a locking component. The release box is fixedly installed on the top of the car by the fixing component. The canopy is retractably and movably installed inside the release box. The support rod is retractably and movably installed inside the release box, and its end is connected to the canopy. When extended, the support rod drives the canopy to extend and support. The retraction limiting component is located at the end of the release box to limit the retraction of the canopy. The locking component is located on the release box to lock the release box.

[0008] By incorporating retractable support rods and a canopy, the canopy extends to provide support when extended and retracts into the box when retracted, enabling quick opening and closing of the awning. This meets users' immediate sunshade needs in various scenarios. The design utilizes magnetic locking posts and magnetic bases, symmetrically positioned on the lid and the opening / closing box, to reliably lock the box and prevent accidental opening of the awning while driving. Furthermore, the addition of a housing, flexible solar panels, and a telescopic bracket enhances the functionality and practicality of the awning. The flexible solar panels retract into the housing and extend when in use, provided by the telescopic bracket, offering additional power to the vehicle.

[0009] Optionally, the car sunshade also includes a retractable shaft, which is movably disposed inside the retractable box. One end of the tarpaulin is fixedly disposed on the retractable shaft, and the other end is fixedly disposed with a box cover for sealing the retractable box when the tarpaulin is retracted. By setting the retractable shaft, the tarpaulin can be retracted and wound, and the tarpaulin can be rolled up inside the retractable box for easy retraction.

[0010] Optionally, the support rods are a pair symmetrically arranged at both ends inside the take-up and take-down box. Each support rod includes a first support rod and a second support rod. The first support rod is movably sleeved inside the second support rod, and the end of the second support rod is movably connected inside the take-up and take-down box. When the tarpaulin is extended, the first support rod of the two support rods drives the second support rod to form an X-shaped structure, and the end of each first support rod is connected to the box cover. By setting the first support rod and the second support rod, the tarpaulin can be extended or retracted by the movement of the first support rod inside the second support rod.

[0011] Optionally, the locking assembly includes a locking strap, a magnetic locking pin, and a magnetic base. The locking straps are a pair and symmetrically fixed to the lid. The number of magnetic locking pins corresponds to the number of locking straps and is fixed to the locking straps. The magnetic base is disposed on the same side of the storage box that matches the magnetic locking pin. By setting the magnetic locking pin and the matching magnetic base, the storage box is locked by magnetic connection to prevent the sunshade from opening accidentally during driving.

[0012] Optionally, the retraction limiting assembly includes a limiting paddle, a ratchet, a fixed shaft, a clamping mechanism, and a disc. The limiting paddle is movably disposed on the side of the take-up and put-down box near the end. The ratchet is driven and connected to the end of the limiting paddle. The fixed shaft passes through the ratchet and the limiting paddle in sequence and is fixed to the inner wall of the take-up and put-down box. One side of the disc is movably connected to the fixed shaft, and the other end is fixedly connected to the take-up and put-down shaft. One end of the clamping mechanism is attached to the outer wall of the ratchet, and the other end clamps and releases the disc when the ratchet rotates. By setting the limiting paddle, the clamping mechanism is driven to clamp and release the disc by adjusting the limiting paddle, thereby limiting the take-up and put-down shaft that drives the tarpaulin to rotate, thus ensuring the accurate position and good storage condition of the tarpaulin when it is retracted.

[0013] Optionally, the car sunshade also includes a housing shell, a flexible solar panel, and a telescopic bracket. The housing shell is connected and fixed to a fixed component. The flexible solar panel is retractably and movably disposed inside the housing shell. One end of the telescopic bracket is fixed to the bottom of the housing shell, and the other end is connected to the end of the flexible solar panel. When it extends or retracts, it drives the flexible solar panel to extend and support it. By setting up the flexible solar panel, solar energy is converted into electrical energy. At the same time, the flexible solar panel is easy to retract and organize. The housing shell provides a space for storing and protecting the flexible solar panel. When not in use, the panel can be stored in it to prevent it from being corroded by natural factors such as wind, sun, and rain, as well as from collisions and scratches from external objects, thus extending the service life of the panel.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. This utility model of a quick-release car sunshade features a retractable support rod and a canopy. When extended, the support rod pulls the canopy out for support; when retracted, it can be stored in a box, enabling quick opening and closing of the sunshade to meet users' immediate sunshade needs in different scenarios. The design employs magnetic locking pins and magnetic bases, symmetrically positioned on the lid and the opening / closing box, reliably locking the box and preventing accidental opening of the sunshade during driving. By adding a housing shell, a flexible solar panel, and a telescopic bracket, the flexible solar panel can retract into the housing shell and extend for support when in use, providing additional power to the car and enhancing the functionality and practicality of the sunshade.

[0016] 2. The quick-release car sunshade of this utility model is constructed by setting a first support rod and a second support rod. During extension and retraction, the first support rod moves inside the second support rod to drive the extension and retraction of the awning. By setting a limiting paddle, adjusting the limiting paddle drives the clamping mechanism to clamp and release the disc, thereby limiting the extension and retraction shaft that drives the awning to rotate, thus ensuring the accurate position of the awning when it is retracted and its good storage condition.

The support rod 5 is retractably mounted inside the release box 1, and the end of the support rod 5 is connected to the end of the release box 1. The retraction limiting component 6 is located at the end of the release box 1, and the locking component 7 is located on the release box 1 to lock the release box 1.

[0031] In use, the operator pulls the tarpaulin 4 by hand, which causes the support rod 5 to extend and retract. At this time, the retraction shaft 3 rotates inside the retraction box 1. When the extension and retraction stops, the support rod 5 also stops extending. At this time, the support rod 5 always supports the tarpaulin 4. At this time, the retraction limit component 6 limits the end of the retraction shaft 3, thereby locking the tarpaulin 4 in the current position. When the tarpaulin 4 is retracted into the retraction box 1, the locking component 7 locks the tarpaulin 4 inside the retraction box 1 to prevent the sunshade from opening accidentally during driving.

[0032] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing component 2 includes a vertical fixing plate 21 and a horizontal fixing plate 22.
