AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

After long-term use, the louvers of existing outdoor awnings are prone to the linkage strips not rotating synchronously due to gravity. In particular, when the length of irregular single-layer louvered panels exceeds a certain size, the other end twists due to its own weight when rotating one end, resulting in asynchronous opening and closing and causing usage problems.

Method used

The system adopts a reinforced linkage and synchronization structure. By introducing reinforced louvers into the louver assembly, the reinforced louvers with a closed double-layer structure are combined with single-layer louvers to form a reinforced cavity, which enhances the synchronous flipping linkage of the linkage bars at both ends. The system is integrally formed with aluminum profiles and fixed by welding. Combined with the drive mechanism, the active linkage bar drives the passive linkage bar.

Benefits of technology

This effectively avoids the twisting problem of the louvered panels, reduces the overall manufacturing cost of the louvered panel assembly, and ensures the synchronous flipping of the linkage strips at both ends, thus improving service life and synchronization.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of louvered awning technology, and in particular to an outdoor louvered awning with a reinforced linkage and synchronization structure. Background Technology

[0002] Outdoor louvered awnings are a type of outdoor sunshade awning. Because their roof surface uses a louvered structure, the louvers can be flipped using a linkage mechanism, thus achieving the functions of sunshade or opening. Outdoor louvered awnings are very popular with consumers because of their ability to adjust the light.

[0003] As disclosed in announcement number CN221568072U, a portable assembly structure for a single-layer louvered panel in a louvered tent includes louvered blades, louvered sealing pieces, louvered support members, and louvered rotating shafts. It also includes a first fastener, a second fastener, and a third fastener. The louvered support members are fixed to the louvered blades by the second fasteners, the louvered rotating shafts are fixed to the louvered support members by the first fasteners, and the louvered sealing pieces are fixed to the louvered support members by the third fasteners.

[0004] Additionally, as disclosed in announcement number CN221761780U, a louver end connection structure is provided, including a louver plate body and louver end plates disposed at both ends of the louver plate body. The louver plate body and the louver end plates are connected by a louver liner. The louver liner is embedded at both ends of the louver plate body. An insert groove is provided in the middle of the louver liner to install a rotating shaft. A second positioning groove is provided at the corner of the louver liner to fix the louver end plate.

[0005] Currently, there are various types of louvered roof tents on the market. The louver design is generally divided into two main categories: closed tubular louvers and irregularly shaped single-layer louvers. Closed tubular louvers have the advantages of strong bending and torsion resistance, but the disadvantage of high cost due to the large amount of material used. Irregularly shaped single-layer louvers have the advantage of reduced cost, but due to the weak torsion resistance of the material, when the length of the irregularly shaped single-layer louver exceeds a certain size, rotating one end will cause the other end to twist due to its own weight. Therefore, the linkage strips at both ends cannot achieve synchronous rotation. Especially with long-term use, the louvers are prone to deformation, causing the opening and closing to be out of sync, resulting in product usability problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model aims to provide an outdoor louvered awning with a reinforced linkage and synchronization structure. It optimizes the louver panel assembly and utilizes the combination of the louvered panel and the reinforced louvered panel to enhance the synchronization of the linkage strips at both ends.

[0007] The technical problem solved by this utility model can be achieved by the following technical solution:

[0008] An outdoor louvered awning with a reinforced linkage and synchronization structure includes columns, a ring beam, and a louver panel assembly disposed within the ring beam. The louver panel assembly includes a plurality of louvers and linkage strips for linking the louvers. Linkage end caps are respectively provided at both ends of the louvers. The linkage strips are respectively located on both sides of the plurality of louvers and are used to link the linkage end caps on the corresponding end faces of the plurality of louvers. The plurality of louvers includes at least one reinforced louver. The reinforced louver can be arbitrarily laid among the plurality of louvers. The two ends of the reinforced louver cooperate with the linkage strips through the linkage end caps, and realize the synchronous flipping linkage of the linkage strips at both ends.

[0009] The louvered panel is a single-layer louvered panel, and the reinforced louvered panel is a closed double-layer louvered panel.

[0010] The reinforced louvered panel includes a louvered panel body and a reinforcing plate, with a reinforcing cavity formed between the louvered panel body and the reinforcing plate.

[0011] The reinforced louvered panel is integrally formed from aluminum profile.

[0012] The louvered plate body and the reinforcing plate in the reinforced louvered plate are fixed by welding.

[0013] The louvered panel body adopts an irregular single-layer panel structure, and the reinforcing plate adopts a sheet-like or bent sheet structure. The reinforcing plate covers the upper part of the louvered panel body and forms a reinforcing cavity.

[0014] The louvered panel body has the same shape as the single-layer louvered panel.

[0015] It also includes a drive mechanism. The linkage bars at both ends of the louver assembly are divided into active linkage bars and passive linkage bars. The drive mechanism is used to cooperate with the active linkage bars.

[0016] The linkage end cover includes an end cover body, a louver mounting part located on one side of the end cover body, and a rotating shaft part passing through the end cover body. The end cover body is provided with a linkage hole. The louver mounting part is used to fix and install with the end face of the louver plate. The rotating shaft part is used to cooperate and install with the rotating shaft seat. The rotating shaft seat is located on the louver mounting beam in the ring beam.

[0017] The linkage bar is provided with several linkage bases, each linkage base corresponds to a single linkage end cap, and each linkage base is provided with a locking pin, which is used to pass through the linkage hole to achieve locking.

[0018] The advantages of this utility model over the prior art are as follows: This utility model optimizes the louver assembly by combining the louver and the reinforced louver to enhance the synchronization of the linkage strips at both ends; wherein, the reinforced louver has a reinforced cavity, has a three-dimensional structure, and has good overall strength. Under the drive of the active linkage strip at one end, it can effectively and synchronously drive the driven linkage strip at the other end, thereby avoiding the twisting problem of the remaining louvers and reducing the manufacturing cost of the entire louver assembly.

[0033] 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.

[0034] Combination Figures 1 to 13 As shown, this utility model discloses an outdoor louvered awning with a reinforced linkage and synchronization structure, including a column 100, a ring beam 200, and a louver panel assembly 300 disposed in the ring beam 200. Depending on the specifications of the outdoor louvered awning, the number of columns can be two, four, six, etc. The ring beam can be divided into a single frame ring beam or multiple frame ring beams according to the specifications. Usually, a single frame ring beam is equipped with a single set of louver panel assemblies.

[0035] In summary, the louver assembly 300 includes a plurality of louvers 310 and linkage bars 330 for linking the louvers 310. Each of the two ends of the louvers 310 is provided with a linkage end cap 340. The linkage bars 330 are located on both sides of the plurality of louvers 310 and are used to link the linkage end caps 340 on the corresponding end faces of the plurality of louvers 310. The linkage bars 330 are used to connect the corresponding linkage end caps 340 on the plurality of louvers 310. By moving the linkage bars 330, the linkage end caps 340 are driven to flip, thereby realizing the flipping of the louvers 310.

[0036] In this embodiment, in the preferred structure, the plurality of louvers 310 includes at least one reinforcing louver 320. The louvers 310 are single-layer louvers, and the reinforcing louvers 320 are closed double-layer louvers. The reinforcing louvers 320 can be arbitrarily laid among the plurality of louvers 310. The two ends of the reinforcing louvers 320 cooperate with the linkage strips 330 through the linkage end caps 340, so as to realize the synchronous flipping linkage of the linkage strips 330 at both ends. The addition of reinforcing louvers 320 can enhance the synchronous flipping of the linkage strips 330 at both ends. The number of reinforcing louvers 340 can be increased according to the specifications of the louver canopy. For example, two can be located at the beginning and end positions of the plurality of louvers 310, or near the beginning and end positions. It can also be a single reinforcing louver 320 located in the middle position of the plurality of louvers 310. It can also be three reinforcing louvers 320 located at the beginning, middle and end positions, so as to realize the synchronous linkage reinforcement of the linkage strips 330 at both ends.

[0037] In summary, by replacing one or more of the louvers 310 in the louver assembly 300 with a reinforced louver 320, making it a reinforced component that synchronously links the linkage strips 330 at both ends, the torsional force of the remaining louvers 310 during the flipping linkage can be reduced, thereby reducing the occurrence of torsion problems in the remaining louvers 310 and simultaneously reducing the overall manufacturing cost of the louver assembly 300.

[0038] In summary, the reinforced louver 320 includes a louver body 321 and a reinforcing plate 322. A reinforcing cavity 323 is formed between the louver body 321 and the reinforcing plate 322, which gives the reinforced louver 320 good load-bearing capacity and enhances the synchronous flipping of the linkage strips 330 at both ends.

[0039] In one preferred embodiment, the reinforced louver 320 is integrally formed from an aluminum profile.

[0040] In one preferred embodiment, the louver body 321 and the reinforcing plate 322 in the reinforced louver 320 are fixed by welding; wherein, the louver body 321 adopts an irregular single-layer plate structure, the reinforcing plate 322 adopts a sheet-like or bent plate structure, the reinforcing plate 322 covers the upper part of the louver body 321 and forms a reinforcing cavity.

[0041] In the specific structure, the louver body 321 preferably has the same shape as the single-layer louver 310. The louver body 321 and the reinforcing plate 322 are separate structures. The two sides of the louver body 321 and the reinforcing plate 322 are usually fixed by welding. The reinforcing plate 322 can be assembled in different positions according to the irregular shape of the louver body 321 to form reinforcing cavities with different cross-sectional shapes. Specifically, it can be as follows: Figures 9 to 12 As shown.

[0042] In another preferred embodiment, the reinforcing plate 322 and the louvered plate body 321 are integrally formed at one end. After the reinforcing plate 322 is bent and flipped, the other end is mounted on the louvered plate body 321 to form a reinforcing cavity 323. One side edge is welded and fixed, as shown in the following example. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown.

[0043] In summary, Figure 13 As shown, it also includes a drive mechanism 400. The linkage bars 330 at both ends of the louver assembly 300 are divided into active linkage bars 3301 and driven linkage bars 3302. The drive mechanism 400 is used to cooperate with the active linkage bar 3301. The drive mechanism 400 adopts a linkage bar drive mechanism commonly used in the prior art. It can adopt a turbine linkage structure or a motor tension drive, etc., such as the louver flipping drive device for outdoor louver tents disclosed in announcement number CN220868627U.

[0044] In summary, the linkage end cover 340 includes an end cover body 341, a louver mounting portion 343 located on one side of the end cover body 341, and a rotating shaft portion 343 penetrating the end cover body 341. The end cover body 341 is provided with a linkage hole 342. The louver mounting portion 343 is used to fix and install itself to the end face of the louver plate 310, typically using fastening screws. The rotating shaft portion 343 is used to cooperate with a rotating shaft seat 211, which is located on the louver mounting beam 210 in the ring beam 200. The strip 330 is provided with several linkage bases 331, and each linkage base 331 corresponds to a single linkage end cover 340. The linkage base 331 is provided with a locking pin 332, which is used to pass through the linkage hole 342 to achieve locking. The locking pin 332 is provided with an opening groove 333, and the end of the locking pin 332 is a lock head. The lock head can pass through the linkage hole 342 by deforming through the opening groove 333. When the lock head is reset, it cannot be disengaged from the linkage hole, thus achieving the snap-fit ​​installation with the linkage end cover 340.

[0045] This utility model optimizes the louver panel assembly by combining a louver panel and a reinforced louver panel to synchronize the linkage strips at both ends. The reinforced louver panel has a reinforced cavity and a three-dimensional structure, which has good overall strength. Under the drive of the active linkage strip at one end, it can effectively and synchronously drive the driven linkage strip at the other end, thereby avoiding the twisting problem of the remaining louver panels and reducing the manufacturing cost of the entire louver panel assembly.

[0046] 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.
