[0027] It should also be further understood that the term "and / or" as used in this specification and the appended claims refers to any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an umbrella rib assembly includes an upper nest 1, a lower nest 2, long ribs 3, and short ribs 4. The umbrella rib support assembly is placed in a special mold and assembled in one step using a specialized machine. Once removed from the machine, the assembly is complete, forming the umbrella rib support assembly. The structure is simple and lightweight, eliminating the need for complex parts processing and assembly procedures. The long ribs 3 and short ribs 4 are arranged in pairs, and multiple pairs are provided. Both the long ribs 3 and short ribs 4 have hollow structures to reduce the overall weight of the umbrella rib assembly, making the umbrella lighter and easier to carry. The hollow structures of the long ribs 3 and short ribs 4 can be filled with lightweight filling materials such as polyurethane foam to enhance structural strength while maintaining light weight.
[0029] Each long branch bone 3 has a first bending joint 5 at its first end. One end of the first bending joint 5 is fixedly installed on the first end of the long branch bone 3, and the other end is provided with a first hook groove 51. The upper nest 1 is provided with the same number of first hooks 11 as the long branch bone 3. The first hooks 11 and the first hook grooves 51 are engaged one by one to realize the connection between the long branch bone 3 and the upper nest 1, so that the long branch bone 3 can be bent 180° relative to the upper nest 1.
[0030] Each short ramus 4 has a second bending joint 6 at its first end and a third bending joint 7 at its second end. One end of the second bending joint 6 is fixedly installed on the first end of the short ramus 4, and the other end has a second hook groove 61. The lower nest 2 has the same number of second hooks 21 as the short ramus 4. The second hooks 21 and the second hook grooves 61 engage one-to-one, connecting the short ramus 4 to the lower nest 2, allowing the short ramus 4 to bend 180° relative to the lower nest 2. Simultaneously, one end of the third bending joint 7 is fixedly installed on the second end of the short ramus 4, and the other end is fixedly connected to the middle section of the long ramus 3, connecting the short ramus 4 to the long ramus 3, allowing the short ramus 4 to bend 180° relative to the long ramus 3.
[0031] The process of retracting or opening the umbrella-shaped bone assembly in this application is as follows:
[0032] When the umbrella limb assembly needs to be opened, the lower nest 2 is driven by external force to move away from the upper nest 1. The lower nest 2 drives the first end of the short limb 4 to move in the same direction. During the movement, the first end of the short limb 4 bends relative to the lower nest 2, and the second end bends relative to the long limb 3. When the lower nest 2 moves to the designated position, that is, when the first end of the short limb 4 moves to a position close to the second end of the long limb 3, the short limb 4 and the long limb 3 are nearly parallel, thus realizing the folding of the umbrella limb assembly.
[0033] When it is necessary to open the umbrella limb group, the lower nest 2 is driven by external force to move towards the upper nest 1. The lower nest 2 drives the first end of the short limb 4 to move in the same direction. During the movement, the first end of the short limb 4 bends relative to the lower nest 2, and the second end bends relative to the long limb 3 and lifts the long limb 3, thereby opening the umbrella limb group.
[0034] The advantages of the umbrella support assembly of this application are as follows: through the specific combination of hooks and hook grooves and the structure of the bending joint, a reliable connection is achieved between the long support 3 and the upper nest 1, the short support 4 and the lower nest 2, and the short support 4 and the long support 3, which reduces the loosening and falling off of parts during use, effectively prevents the support ribs from separating from the nest, and improves the stability of the umbrella; it also has the characteristics of simple and lightweight structure, easy assembly, and high practicality.
[0035] In the specific implementation process of this application, see [link / reference]. Figure 3 The upper nest 1 has a mounting hole 12 for mounting the upper nest 1 to the top of the umbrella handle 8. The mounting hole 12 has evenly distributed first insertion holes 13 around its outer periphery, the number of which corresponds to the number of long branches 3, for inserting the first ends of the long branches 3 one by one into them. A first hook 11 is provided in the first insertion hole 13, and the first hook 11 has a guide portion to facilitate the smooth insertion of the long branches 3. The first bent connector 5 has one end with a first hook groove 51 inserted into the first insertion hole 13, and the first hook 11 engages with the first hook groove 51 to achieve a fixed connection between the long branches 3 and the upper nest 1.
[0036] In the specific implementation process of this application, see [link / reference]. Figure 4 The lower nest 2 has a through hole 22 for inserting the umbrella handle 8 and allowing the lower nest 2 to slide up and down along the umbrella handle 8. Evenly distributed second insertion holes 23 are formed around the outer periphery of the through hole 22, the number of which corresponds to the number of short ribs 4, for inserting the first ends of the short and long ribs 3 one by one. Second hooks 21 are provided in the second insertion holes 23, each with a guide portion to facilitate smooth insertion of the short ribs 4. The second bent connector 6 has one end with a second hook groove 61 inserted into the second insertion hole 23, and the second hook 21 engages with the second hook groove 61 to achieve a fixed connection between the short ribs 4 and the lower nest 2.
[0037] In addition, elastic buffer pads are respectively provided in the first insertion hole 13 and the second insertion hole 23. The elastic buffer pads are made of rubber and are used to buffer the impact force when the bent connector is inserted, thereby reducing the impact and wear between components.
[0038] Based on the same inventive concept as the aforementioned umbrella support frame assembly, this application also provides an umbrella, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 5 to 7 The umbrella includes a handle 8, an umbrella fabric 9, and any of the aforementioned rib assemblies. The upper rib 1 is fixedly installed at the top of the handle 8; the handle 8 passes through the lower rib 2, which slides up and down relative to the handle 8; the umbrella fabric 9 is mounted on the long rib 3. A handle 81 is provided at the bottom of the handle 8, and the surface of the handle 81 is provided with an anti-slip texture to increase the comfort and stability of the grip. In actual use, the user holds the handle 81 at the bottom of the handle 8 and slides the lower rib 2 up and down to open and close the umbrella. The opening and closing process of the umbrella is the same as the folding or unfolding process of the rib assembly, and will not be described in detail here.
[0039] In addition, see Figure 5 The second end of the long branch 3 is provided with an umbrella rib bead tail 31, which is used for spot sewing fixation of the umbrella fabric 9, making it convenient for the installation of the umbrella fabric 9.
[0040] It should also be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of this utility model and the features therein can be combined with each other to obtain new embodiments.
[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. The scope of protection of the present utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
