[0002] A stroller is a tool designed to facilitate outdoor activities for infants, greatly reducing the burden of carrying babies when going out. To prevent infants from being exposed to the sun, strollers usually have a canopy for sun protection. However, the canopies on existing strollers are usually single-layered and fully sun-shading, meaning that when the canopy is open, the area covered by the canopy is shaded. When the infant needs to sunbathe, the canopy must be completely retracted, at which point the infant will be fully exposed to the sun. Furthermore, these fully sun-shading canopies of strollers are not conducive to communication between parents and infants, making it impossible to constantly monitor the infant's condition inside the stroller, which is somewhat inconvenient to use.

[0034] Current stroller canopies are typically single-layered and fully sun-shading, meaning that when the canopy is open, the area it covers is shaded. However, when the baby needs to sunbathe, the canopy must be completely retracted, leaving the baby fully exposed to sunlight. Furthermore, these fully sun-shading canopies hinder communication between parents and babies, making it difficult to monitor the baby's condition inside the stroller. Consequently, the canopy's light transmittance cannot be adjusted according to the user's preferences, resulting in inconvenience in its use.

[0035] This utility model proposes a canopy device 100.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the canopy device 100 is applied to a children's stroller 200. The children's stroller 200 includes a frame 210, a canopy body 30, and a covering assembly 50. The canopy body 30 is mounted on the frame 210. The covering assembly 50 includes a covering element 51 and a control device 52. The covering element 51 is disposed on the canopy body 30. The control device 52 is electrically connected to the covering element 51. The control device 52 is used to adjust the light transmittance of the covering element 51 so that the canopy device 100 has a light-blocking state and a light-transmitting state.

[0037] The canopy device 100 in this utility model is mainly installed on a stroller 200 to provide sunshade, rain protection, or dust protection for children sitting in the stroller 200. Of course, the canopy device 100 can also be installed on a child cradle or child safety seat. There is no specific limitation on the specific carrier on which the canopy device 100 is used. In this embodiment, the canopy device 100 is installed on a stroller 200 as an example. The canopy device 100 includes a canopy body 30 and a covering component 50. The canopy body 30 is set on the frame 210 of the stroller 200 and located above the space in the stroller 200 for children to sit in. The covering component 50 is set on the canopy body 30. 50 includes a cover 51 and a control device 52. The control device 52 is electrically connected to the cover 51 via a circuit. The cover 51 is sheet-shaped and covers the canopy body 30. After the cover 51 is placed on the canopy body 30, it forms a shield directly below it. This shield can be used to block the space for children to sit in, as described above, thereby achieving the functions of sunshade, rain protection, or dust protection. In this embodiment, the control device 52 can be electrically connected to an external power source via a circuit, and then the control device 52 is electrically connected to the cover 51 via a circuit. The user can control the state of the cover 51 to change through the control device 52. The cover 51 can be in a light-transmitting state when not powered on and in a light-blocking state when powered on. In this embodiment, the control device 52 can... Color changing is achieved by controlling the magnitude of the voltage and the direction of the current flowing to the cover 51, thereby allowing the cover 51 to change its light transmittance through color change, so that the canopy device 100 has a light-blocking state and a light-transmitting state. When the user needs to interact with the child sitting in the stroller 200, or to allow the child sitting in the stroller 200 to observe the outside world through the cover 51, the user can disconnect the voltage supplied to the cover 51 through the control device 52 to make the cover 51 light-transmitting. When the user thinks the external light is too glaring, or the child in the stroller 200 wants to sleep, or the user thinks it is necessary to protect the privacy of the child in the stroller 200, the user can also supply electricity to the cover 51 through the control device 52. The direction of the current supplied to the cover 51 is changed by pressing or altering the current supply to make the cover 51 a light-blocking state. The degree of light blocking in this light-blocking state is adjustable and can be adjusted according to actual usage. This reduces the amount of external light entering the space of the stroller 200 where children sit and protects the privacy of children inside the stroller 200. With this setting, when the canopy device 100 is installed on the stroller 200, the user can adjust the light transmittance of the cover 51 according to the current situation, so that the canopy device 100 can cope with various usage scenarios and achieve good usage effect, thereby improving the applicability of the canopy device 100.

[0038] Regarding the shape of the canopy body 30, in this embodiment, the canopy body 30 can be flat, curved, square or round, and there are no further limitations on this.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 or Figure 4 As shown, the canopy body 30 has multiple light-transmitting areas 40, and all of the multiple light-transmitting areas 40 are covered by the same covering member 51. In this embodiment, the main body 30 of the canopy is arc-shaped, that is, the main body 30 of the canopy is convex. Therefore, in this embodiment, the main body 30 of the canopy has multiple light-transmitting areas 40. The light-transmitting areas 40 can be side light-transmitting areas 40, top light-transmitting areas 40, front light-transmitting areas 40 and rear light-transmitting areas 40. The specific division of the light-transmitting areas 40 is not specifically limited. In this embodiment, multiple light-transmitting areas 40 are covered by the same covering 51. Therefore, the user can control the covering 51 to change from a light-transmitting state to a light-blocking state, or from a light-blocking state to a light-transmitting state, or adjust the degree of light blocking in the light-blocking state through the control device 52. Since in this embodiment, one covering 51 covers multiple light-transmitting areas 40 at the same time, when the state of the covering 51 changes, it is equivalent to the state of the entire canopy device 100 changing. Through this setting, the user can control the state of the covering 51 to change the state of the entire canopy device 100 by controlling the state of the covering 51 through the control device 52.

[0040] In another embodiment, such as Figure 1 or Figure 4 As shown, the canopy body 30 has a plurality of light-transmitting areas 40, and the covering 51 covers at least one of the plurality of light-transmitting areas 40. In this embodiment, unlike the previous embodiment, a cover 51 covers only one or more of the multiple light-transmitting areas 40. For example, in this embodiment, the cover 51 only covers the top light-transmitting area 40 among the multiple light-transmitting areas 40, while the remaining light-transmitting areas 40 can be covered with tarpaulins or other materials with light-blocking effects. This is not a major limitation. According to the above configuration, when the canopy device 100 is in use, the user can control the state of the cover 51 covering the top light-transmitting area 40 through the control device 52. When the cover 51 is in a light-transmitting state, the user can view the child sitting in the stroller 200 through the cover 51 and interact with the child through the cover 51. When the cover 51 is in a light-blocking state, external sunlight and the view of others cannot see the child sitting in the stroller 200 through the cover 51, thus allowing the child in the stroller 200 to rest better and protecting the child's privacy.

[0041] Furthermore, the covering 51 is provided in multiples, each covering 51 covering each light-transmitting area 40, and the control device 52 can individually adjust the light transmittance of each covering 51. In this embodiment, multiple coverings 51 are also provided, each covering 51 corresponding to each light-transmitting area 40, and each covering 51 is laid on each light-transmitting area 40 in a one-to-one correspondence manner. Secondly, in this embodiment, the control device 52 is electrically connected to each covering 51 through a separate line, that is, the control device 52 can adjust the state of each covering 51. When the user believes that strong light is entering the seating space of the stroller 200 from the side light-transmitting area 40, the user can use the control device 52 to individually control the covering 51 located in the side light-transmitting area 40 to change from a light-transmitting state to a light-blocking state. In the light-transmitting state, the canopy device 100 can not only effectively block strong external light from entering the riding space of the stroller 200, but also allow the user to interact with the child through the top light-transmitting area 40. Of course, in this embodiment, the user can also control multiple coverings 51 to change from the light-transmitting state to the light-blocking state at the same time, or from the light-blocking state to the light-transmitting state at the same time, according to the actual situation. This setting allows the user to further adjust the light transmittance of multiple coverings 51 according to the actual situation, thereby meeting the needs in different scenarios. Such a setting can further improve the applicability of the canopy device 100.

[0042] In one embodiment, the covering 51 is an electrochromic film. In this embodiment, the covering 51 is an electrochromic film that changes color when the control device 52 inputs voltage or changes the direction of the input current. The electrochromic film is reversible; that is, when the direction of the applied electric field changes or the electric field is removed, the ions in the film migrate in the opposite direction or return to their initial state, thereby restoring the optical properties of the film to their initial state. This reversibility allows the electrochromic film to be reused repeatedly and has a long service life, thus achieving the function of adjusting its light transmittance. By using the electrochromic film in the awning device 100, the applicability of the awning device 100 can be effectively improved. In other embodiments, to give the electrochromic film good waterproof performance, a waterproof layer can be provided on the portion of the electrochromic film located in the external space. Alternatively, a waterproof layer can be provided on the entire outer surface of the electrochromic film to improve its waterproof effect.

[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 or Figure 3As shown, the control device 52 is disposed on at least one of the cover 51, the canopy body 30 and the frame 210. In this embodiment, the control device 52 can be mounted on the cover 51. This arrangement eliminates the need for electrical wiring between the control device 52 and the cover 51. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the control device 52 can be mounted on the canopy body 30. This arrangement reduces the length of electrical wiring between the control device 52 and the cover 51. Furthermore, since the stability of the canopy body 30 is higher than that of the cover 51 in the above embodiment, this arrangement also effectively improves the stability of the control device 52. The control device 52 can also be mounted on both the cover 51 and the canopy body 30, which not only eliminates the need for wiring but also ensures stability. Alternatively, the control device 52 can be directly mounted on the carrier. In this embodiment, the carrier is a stroller 200, so the control device 52 can be directly mounted on the stroller 200. More specifically, the power supply for the control device 52 can be mounted on the stroller 200 and then electrically connected to the control device 52 via wiring. The specific location of the control device 52 is not limited.

[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the canopy body 30 has an unfolded position and a folded position relative to the frame 210. When the canopy body 30 is in the unfolded position, the covering component 50 is supported; when the canopy body 30 is in the folded position, the covering component 50 is folded. To enable the canopy device 100 to have a storage function, in this embodiment, the covering component 51 is flexibly configured, and the canopy body 30 has a folding function. The canopy body 30 has an unfolded position and a folded position relative to the frame 210 of the stroller 200. When the canopy body 30 is in the unfolded position, the covering component 51 on the canopy body 30 is unfolded and forms a shield directly below the canopy body 30, thus shielding the seating space of the stroller 200. When the canopy body 30 is in the folded position, the canopy body 30 is folded, and the canopy body 30 at least partially overlaps with the stroller arm of the frame 210. To reduce space occupation, the cover 51 is folded at this time. Of course, to make the cover 51 fold more smoothly, it can be folded before use to form creases, so that the cover 51 can be folded more quickly through the creases. This setting gives users more options when using the stroller 200. When the canopy device 100 is unfolded, it has the functions of sunshade, rain protection and wind and dust protection. When the canopy device 100 is folded, sunlight can directly enter the riding space of the stroller 200 and the air circulation is also smoother.

[0045] In one embodiment, the canopy body 30 includes a support frame and a tarpaulin, with the tarpaulin fitted onto the support frame and the covering component 50 sewn onto the tarpaulin. In this embodiment, the canopy body 30 includes a support frame and a tarpaulin, wherein the tarpaulin is fitted onto the support frame to fill the area enclosed by the support frame, and the covering component 51 can be sewn onto the tarpaulin. To ensure that the tarpaulin does not interfere with the use of the canopy device 100, the tarpaulin can be transparent. Of course, in other embodiments, the tarpaulin may be omitted, and the covering component 51 may be used as the tarpaulin. The specific configuration of the tarpaulin is not overly limited.

[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 or Figure 3 As shown, the awning device 100 is either a sunshade 10 or a rain cover 20. In this embodiment, the awning device 100 can be a sunshade 10, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the awning device 100 is a sunshade 10, whose main purpose is to provide shade. The sunshade 10 includes a sunshade body 31, on which multiple light-transmitting areas 40 are formed as described in the above embodiments. The covering 51 can be set in the light-transmitting areas 40 in any of the above embodiments to achieve different functions and effects. Of course, in other embodiments, the sunshade 10 may also include an extension awning. The extension awning is set on the outer periphery of the free end of the sunshade 10 in a quick-release manner. The extension awning can cover the entire stroller 200, thereby achieving semi-enclosed or full-enclosed coverage of the stroller 200, making the sunshade effect better, and at the same time having a good windproof and dustproof effect. Of course, in this embodiment, the extension awning can also adopt the setting of the covering 51 in the above embodiments, with the covering 51 covering the extension awning, so that the extension awning also has the function of changing state. When necessary, it can also block rainwater. Regarding the quick-release method, it can be connected by a zipper, or by a snap, or by a magnetic attraction. There is no specific limitation on the quick-release method.

[0047] In another embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the canopy device 100 is a rain cover 20. In this embodiment, the canopy device 100 is a rain cover 20. The rain cover 20 is mainly used as a tool to prevent rain from entering the seating space of the stroller 200. The rain cover 20 includes a rain cover body 32, and the rain cover body 32 is also provided with a covering component 50 that is the same as in any of the above embodiments. The rain cover body 32 also has multiple light-transmitting areas 40 as described in the above embodiments.
