Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor awnings, and more specifically, to an outdoor electric track telescopic awning. Background Technology

[0002] The demand for sunshade facilities is increasing in outdoor and commercial settings. Traditional awnings often suffer from problems such as inconvenient installation, difficult storage, and poor shading effect. Some manual awnings require considerable manpower to unfold and retract, and are not convenient to operate.

[0003] However, some existing electric awnings are not structurally sound. The folding and unfolding of the awning fabric is not smooth enough and is prone to jamming. At the same time, the protection of the awning fabric is insufficient. When exposed to the outdoor environment for a long time, the awning fabric is easily damaged by wind, sun and rain, which affects its service life.

[0004] In addition, during rainy and snowy weather, bicycles, electric vehicles, and other modes of transportation are often parked outside residential and commercial areas. Due to the lack of suitable shelter, these vehicles are frequently exposed to rain and snow, which not only shortens their lifespan but can also lead to problems such as rusted parts and electrical malfunctions. Existing simple carports are often fixed in place, occupying a large area and lacking flexibility. When the weather is sunny and protection is not needed, they take up space and affect the aesthetics of the environment. Sunlight cannot reach the interior of the carport to dry the damp environment, resulting in excessive moisture inside. How to invent an outdoor electric track-mounted retractable sunshade to improve these problems has become a pressing issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0007] A sunshade tarpaulin is provided above the folding tarpaulin assembly, and the sunshade tarpaulin is laid flat on the fixed frame.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the support frame includes crossbars, and two sets of crossbars are arranged in parallel. Vertical bars are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both ends of the two sets of crossbars, and support legs are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of both sets of crossbars.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the driving component includes a fixed block and a hinged fixed block. The fixed block and the hinged fixed block are respectively fixedly installed at both ends of each set of crossbars. A servo motor is fixedly installed inside the fixed block. The output end of the servo motor is driven by a lead screw. The other end of the lead screw is respectively limited and rotatably connected to the hinged fixed block. A transmission block is driven on the lead screw.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the transmission block is slidably engaged with the crossbar.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the folding tarpaulin assembly further includes tarpaulin support rods. Both ends of the tarpaulin support rods are fixedly connected to the fixed frame. Multiple sets of tarpaulin support rods are equally distributed within the fixed frame. One end of the fixed frame is hinged to the inner side of the transmission block, and the other end of the fixed frame is hinged to the inner side of the top of the connecting block. Another set of fixed frames is connected to the inner side of the other side of the connecting block. Multiple sets of the connecting block are provided, and the tails of the multiple sets of fixed frames are hinged to the inner side of the hinged fixed block.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the connecting block is a Z-shape rotated 90 degrees, and the shapes of adjacent connecting blocks are arranged symmetrically.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the ends of the fixed frame that are hinged to the connecting block are located at both ends of the horizontal section in the middle of the connecting block, and hinge rods are respectively hinged to the outer sides of the upper and lower vertical sections of the connecting block. The hinge rods are respectively hinged to the transmission block, the hinged fixed block and the connecting block.

A protective plate is fixedly connected to the top of the uprights, and a tripod is provided between the protective plate and the uprights.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The outdoor electric track telescopic awning obtained by the above design has a support frame consisting of two sets of parallel horizontal bars, vertical bars on the inner walls at both ends, and support legs at the bottom. This structure provides a stable support for the entire awning, can withstand a certain amount of wind and other external forces, and ensures the stability of the awning in the outdoor environment.

[0018] Servo motors at both ends of the crossbar drive the lead screw to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission block to slide at the upper limit of the crossbar, thus achieving automatic unfolding and folding of the folding tarpaulin assembly. The two servo motors work synchronously, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. Compared to manual operation, this significantly saves manpower and time, allowing for easy opening and closing as needed, and also facilitating sunlight penetration when necessary.

[0019] The protective awning allows the protective panels to shield the folding tarpaulin assembly when it is folded, effectively preventing damage from the external environment and extending the tarpaulin's lifespan. Simultaneously, the tripod enhances the overall stability of the protective awning.

[0020] In the folding tarpaulin assembly, the fixed frame and connecting block are driven by hinges and the meshing of transmission gears and mating gears, so that the fixed frame can be smoothly unfolded and folded when the drive assembly is working, ensuring that the tarpaulin can be laid out flat or stacked neatly, thus improving the performance of the tarpaulin.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a technical solution: an outdoor electric track retractable sunshade awning, including...

[0030] The awning frame 100 includes a support frame 110, with a protective short canopy 120 at one top end of the support frame 110; a tarpaulin folding mechanism 200 includes a drive assembly 210, which is driven and mounted on both sides of the top of the support frame 110. A folding tarpaulin assembly 220 is driven and connected above the drive assembly 210. The folding tarpaulin assembly 220 includes connecting blocks 224, and multiple sets of connecting blocks 224 are provided. Fixing frames 221 are hinged to both sides of the multiple sets of connecting blocks 224, and the fixing frames 221 are driven and connected to the drive assembly 210; a tarpaulin 230 is provided above the folding tarpaulin assembly 220 and is laid flat on the fixing frames 221.

[0031] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The support frame 110 includes two sets of horizontal bars 112 arranged in parallel. Vertical bars 113 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both ends of the two sets of horizontal bars 112. Support legs 111 are fixedly connected to the bottom of both ends of the two sets of horizontal bars 112. The support frame 110 is inclined as a whole. The height of the support legs 111 at both ends of one horizontal bar 112 is higher than that of the support legs 111 at both ends of the other horizontal bar 112, so that the support frame 110 is inclined as a whole, which facilitates the sliding of rainwater, etc. The protective short shed 120 is also like this.

[0032] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The drive assembly 210 includes a fixed block 212 and a hinged fixed block 215, which are respectively fixedly installed at both ends of each set of crossbars 112. A servo motor 211 is fixedly installed inside each fixed block 212. The output end of the servo motor 211 is connected to a lead screw 213, and the other end of the lead screw 213 is respectively connected to the hinged fixed block 215 for limited rotation. A transmission block 214 is provided on the lead screw 213. The two servo motors 211 start and stop synchronously, respectively driving the transmission block 214 to rotate, thereby driving the folding tarpaulin assembly 220 to unfold (fold). The bottom of the transmission block 214 is slidably engaged with the crossbar 112 for smooth movement.

[0033] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4The folding tarpaulin assembly 220 also includes tarpaulin support rods 222. Both ends of the tarpaulin support rods 222 are fixedly connected to the fixed frame 221. Multiple sets of tarpaulin support rods 222 are evenly arranged inside the fixed frame 221. One end of the fixed frame 221 is hinged to the inner side of the transmission block 214. The other end of the fixed frame 221 is hinged to the inner side of the top of the connecting block 224. Another set of fixed frames 221 is connected to the inner side of the other side of the connecting block 224. Multiple sets of connecting blocks 224 are provided. The tail of the multiple sets of fixed frames 221 is hinged to the inner side of the hinged fixed block 215. A sliding groove 216 is provided in the sliding groove 216. One end of the hinge rod 223 that intersects with the transmission block 214 is hinged and installed in the sliding groove 216. A fixed groove 217 is provided inside the fixed groove 217. One end of the hinge rod 223 that is hinged to the hinged fixed block 215 is installed in the fixed groove 217. The connecting block 224 is a Z-shaped block rotated 90 degrees, and adjacent connecting blocks 224 are arranged symmetrically. The ends of the fixed frame 221 hinged to the connecting block 224 are located at both ends of the horizontal section in the middle of the connecting block 224. Hinges 223 are hinged to the outer sides of the upper and lower vertical sections of the connecting block 224, respectively, and are hinged to the transmission block 214, the hinged fixed block 215, and the connecting block 224. The connecting block 224 also has a transmission gear 225 and a mating gear 226 on its exterior. The transmission gear 225 and the mating gear 226 are respectively connected to the corresponding ends of the fixed frame 221. The connecting block 224 meshes with the transmission gear 225. When the drive assembly 210 drives the transmission block 214 to move, the transmission block 214 pulls (pushes) the fixed frame 221. At this time, the fixed frame 221 is unfolded (folded). When the fixed frame 221 unfolds (folds), the end connected to the connecting block 224 rotates. When the outer side of the fixed frame 221 rotates, the transmission gear 225 and the mating gear 226 are meshed, so the fixed frames 221 on both sides of the rear connecting block 224 will be folded by the transmission. The drive component 210 will stack the folded tarpaulin assembly 220 into the protective short shed 120 or lay it flat on the support frame 110. The upper surface of the crossbar 112 is provided with a limit groove 114. The bottom of the even-numbered connecting blocks 224 is fixedly connected with pulleys 227, which are limited and slidably installed in the limit groove 114.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The tarpaulin 230 is laid flat on the tarpaulin support pole 222 and located in the middle of the two fixed frames 221. The tarpaulin 230 can be made of thicker tarpaulin. The tarpaulin can be bent for easy folding. At the same time, the material of the tarpaulin 230 can be rotated as needed, as long as it can be folded.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3The protective short shed 120 includes uprights 121, which are fixedly installed on the top of the hinged fixing block 215. A protective plate 122 is fixedly connected to the top of the uprights 121. A tripod 123 is provided between the protective plate 122 and the uprights 121. The right angle of the tripod 123 is located at the connection between the uprights 121 and the protective plate 122. The tripod 123 provides support and improves the overall stability. At the same time, the protective plate 122 is used to protect the folding tarpaulin assembly 220. When the folding tarpaulin assembly 220 is folded, it is covered to prevent external damage to the folding tarpaulin assembly 220 and to prevent wind and sun exposure. A solar panel is provided on the top of the protective plate 122. The solar panel is electrically connected to a battery. The electrical equipment is electrically connected to the battery and an external power source.

[0036] Working principle: When the awning needs to be deployed, the servo motor 211, located in the fixing blocks 212 at both ends of the crossbar 112, is activated. The output of the servo motor 211 drives the lead screw 213 to rotate. The transmission block 214 on the lead screw 213 is engaged with the crossbar 112 at its bottom, so as the lead screw 213 rotates, the transmission block 214 moves along the crossbar 112 away from the servo motor 211. During this movement, the transmission block 214 pulls the fixing frame 221, which is hinged to its inner side. One end of the fixing frame 221 is hinged to the transmission block 214, and the other end is hinged to the connecting block 224. Because the connecting block 224 is a Z-shaped block with a 90-degree rotation and adjacent connecting blocks 224 are symmetrically arranged, when the fixing frame 221 is pulled, the end connected to the connecting block 224 will rotate. Simultaneously, the transmission gear 225 at the end of the fixed frame 221 meshes with the mating gear 226 on the outside of the connecting block 224, causing the fixed frames 221 on both sides of the rear connecting block 224 to be driven and unfolded. As the transmission block 214 moves continuously, multiple sets of fixed frames 221 unfold sequentially, driving the awning fabric 230 laid flat on the fixed frames 221 to gradually unfold, and finally lay flat on the support frame 110 to achieve the sunshade function. During this process, the pulley 227 at the bottom of the connecting block 224 slides within the limiting groove 114 opened on the upper surface of the crossbar 112, ensuring the stability of the movement of the connecting block 224, and thus ensuring the smooth unfolding process of the entire folding awning assembly 220.

[0037] Folding Process: When the awning needs to be folded up, the servo motor 211 reverses direction, the lead screw 213 rotates in the opposite direction, and the transmission block 214 moves towards the servo motor 211. The transmission block 214 pushes the fixed frame 221 hinged to its inner side, and the fixed frame 221 begins to fold. Similarly, due to the transmission action of the transmission gear 225 and the mating gear 226, the fixed frames 221 on both sides of the rear connecting block 224 fold up sequentially. As the transmission block 214 continues to move, the folding awning assembly 220 gradually stacks into the protective awning 120, and the awning fabric 230 also folds up, completing the folding action. The protective plate 122 of the protective awning 120 provides cover and protection for the folded awning assembly 220.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
