Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an ergonomic umbrella, including an umbrella canopy assembly 1 and an umbrella handle assembly 2. The umbrella canopy assembly 1 is located above the umbrella handle assembly 2, and the umbrella canopy assembly 1 includes an umbrella rod 101. The upper end of the umbrella rod 101 is hinged to an umbrella rib 102 through a hinge block. The inner side of the umbrella rib 102 is hinged to a support rod 103 through a hinge block. The end of the support rod 103 away from the umbrella rib 102 is hinged to a sliding sleeve 104 through a hinge block. The umbrella handle assembly 2 includes a handle 201, and a semi-circular plate 203 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the handle 201. The semi-circular plate 203 is provided with a slot 204, and a locking post 206 is slidably inserted into the slot 204.
[0028] In this embodiment, a rubber ring 202 is fixedly installed on the outer ring of the handle 201, and a rotating shaft 205 is fixedly connected to the center point of the semi-circular plate 203. The two ends of the rotating shaft 205 are respectively rotatably connected to the groove provided on the lower side of the umbrella rod 101.
[0029] In this embodiment, an L-shaped slide plate 207 is fixedly connected to one end of the snap-fit post 206, and a spring 208 is fixedly connected to the side of the L-shaped slide plate 207 away from the snap-fit post 206, and the end of the spring 208 away from the L-shaped slide plate 207 is fixedly connected to the umbrella rod 101.
[0030] In this embodiment, the L-shaped slide plate 207 is slidably connected to the groove provided on the umbrella pole 101, and a pressing block 209 is fixedly installed at one end of the L-shaped slide plate 207, and the pressing block 209 is slidably connected to the groove provided on one side of the umbrella pole 101.
[0031] In this embodiment, multiple sets of card slots 204 are provided, and the semi-circular plate 203 rotates within the slot provided at the lower end of the umbrella rod 101 via a provided rotating shaft 205.
[0032] In this embodiment, the outer ring of the sliding sleeve 104 is fixedly installed with an anti-slip sleeve 105, and the inner ring of the sliding sleeve 104 is slidably connected to the outer ring of the umbrella rod 101.
[0033] In this embodiment, a baffle 106 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the umbrella pole 101, and multiple sets of umbrella ribs 102 are provided, and a circular umbrella surface 107 is fixedly installed on the umbrella ribs 102.
[0034] When in use, the user holds the handle 201 with one hand and the sliding sleeve 104 with the other hand, and pushes the sliding sleeve 104 upward, so that the sliding sleeve 104 slides upward on the outer ring of the umbrella pole 101. The upward sliding of the sliding sleeve 104 squeezes and pushes one end of the support rod 103 to move upward, so that the end of the support rod 103 away from the sliding sleeve 104 drives the hinged umbrella rib 102 to open, thereby making the umbrella rib 102 open with the umbrella pole 101 as the center. The opening of the umbrella rib 102 drives the circular umbrella surface 107 connected to the umbrella rib 102 to open and block sunlight and rain.
[0035] At this time, the handle 201 and the umbrella shaft 101 are in a vertical position. Manually press the pressing block 209 located in the groove on one side of the umbrella shaft 101. Pressing the pressing block 209 compresses the L-shaped slide plate 207, causing it to slide within the umbrella shaft 101. This compresses the spring 208 fixed on one side of the L-shaped slide plate 207, causing it to contract. The sliding of the L-shaped slide plate 207 also moves the locking pin 206 fixed on the other side. The locking pin 206 slides out of the slot 204 on the semi-circular plate 203. Then, bend the handle 201 to... The grip 201 deflects around the rotating shaft 205 fixed on the semicircular plate 203. When the grip 201 deflects to a suitable gripping position, the pressing block 209 is stopped, and the L-shaped slide plate 207 is pushed back to its original position by the rebound force of the spring 208. This causes the locking pin 206 to be inserted into the locking groove 204 provided on the semicircular plate 203, fixing the deflection angle of the grip 201. The outer ring of the grip 201 is provided with a rubber ring 202, which increases the friction between the grip 201 and the palm.
[0036] The angle of the ergonomic umbrella handle of this utility model can be flexibly adjusted according to the natural grip posture of the palm, effectively relieving wrist strain caused by prolonged use of traditional straight-handle umbrellas. At the same time, the rubber ring on the outer ring of the handle and the anti-slip sleeve of the sliding sleeve form a double anti-slip structure, increasing friction while dispersing hand pressure, significantly improving grip comfort and adaptability.
