Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fishing tackle accessories, and more specifically, to a fishing umbrella steering knuckle. Background Technology

[0002] An umbrella is a tool that provides shade or shelter from rain, primarily used for sun protection and rain protection. Fishing umbrellas mainly refer to umbrellas used while fishing. When fishing, because the sun's position changes throughout the day and wind direction varies when it rains, the angle of the fishing umbrella needs to be adjusted.

[0003] The structure of the product can be referenced in Chinese patent document CN202323134856.1, along with the accompanying drawings in the specification of that Chinese patent document. Figure 3-4 The method of using a snap-fit ​​protrusion and a slot to engage and fix the rotating body relative to the tee after rotation is problematic. However, there is only one snap-fit ​​protrusion, which is easily damaged under heavy stress, leading to poor product quality. Chinese patent document CN202322755151.5 discloses a method using a first and second steering tooth meshing together to fix the first and second fixed sleeves after relative rotation. However, the first and second steering teeth mesh under the pressure of a spring, which can reduce the elasticity of the spring after prolonged use, resulting in poor meshing and consequently, poor product quality.

[0038] Reference Figure 1-9 ,

[0039] A fishing umbrella steering knuckle includes: a fixed body 1, a rotating body 2, and an elastic element 3.

[0040] The fixed body 1 has at least a rotational space 11 for the rotating body 2 to rotate and move, allowing the rotating body 2 to move relative to the fixed body 1 to at least a first moving position and a second moving position, and allowing the rotating body 2 to rotate relative to the fixed body 1. The fixed body 1 has at least a first external interface 12, and the rotating body has at least a second external interface 211. The first interface of the fixed body 1 is used to insert a rod, which is then inserted below ground level, primarily below ground level at riverside fishing positions. The middle rod of a fishing umbrella or other sunshade is then inserted into the second interface, thus completing the installation of the fishing umbrella. The rotating body 2 rotates relative to the fixed body 1 to adjust the angle of the fishing umbrella. An elastic element 3 forms an elastic connection between the fixed body 1 and the rotating body 2, allowing the rotating body 2 to return to its original position from at least the first moving position to the second moving position. The elastic element 3 is a spring, and its elastic force returns the rotating body 2 to its original position. A pressing cap is provided at one end of the rotating body. One end of the elastic element 3 abuts against the fixed body 1, and the other end abuts against the pressing cap. When pressure is applied to the pressing cap, the rotating body moves from the second moving position to the first moving position. After the pressure is released, the rotating body returns to the second moving position from the first moving position under the action of the elastic element 3.

[0041] The rotating body 2 has multiple first insertion portions 212 and multiple second insertion portions 213. The orientation of the first insertion portions 212 is perpendicular or inclined to the orientation of the second insertion portions 213. The rotation space 11 has multiple first slots 13 for inserting the first insertion portions 212 and multiple second slots 14 for inserting the second insertion portions 213. When the rotating body is in the second moving position, the first insertion portions 212 are inserted into the first slots 13 and the second insertion portions 213 are inserted into the second slots 14, so the rotating body 2 cannot rotate relative to the fixed body 1. At this time, the rotating body 2 can withstand a large force, making the fishing umbrella move stably. When the rotating body 2 is in the first moving position, the first insertion portions 212 and the second insertion portions 213 are both away from the first slots 13 and the second slots 14. At this time, the rotating body 2 can rotate relative to the fixed body 1, thereby adjusting the angle of the fishing umbrella. After adjustment, the rotating body 2 is returned to the second moving position.

[0042] In this application, the first insertion part 212 and the second insertion part 213 are arranged vertically or at an angle. This provides two anti-rotation components to prevent the rotating body 2 from rotating relative to the fixed body 1. Even if one of the anti-rotation components or a portion of its moving part wears down, it still maintains a good anti-rotation effect. This better secures the rotating body 2 to the fixed body 1, providing better support for the fishing umbrella and significantly extending its service life. Simultaneously, the first slot 13 and the second slot 14 provide anti-rotation resistance to the first insertion part 212 and the second insertion part 213 at different moving positions, further enhancing the anti-rotation effect and preventing damage in harsh external environments, such as strong winds.

[0043] In some embodiments, the rotating body 2 has a first wall and a second wall; the extending direction of the first wall is the same as the extending direction of the rotating space 11. The ends of the first wall and the second wall are connected; a first insertion part 212 is disposed on the first wall, and a second insertion part 213 is disposed on the second wall, the second wall being perpendicular or inclined to the first wall. The first insertion part 212 and the second insertion part 213 are two independent entities, and since the first wall and the second wall are connected, the first insertion part 212 and the second insertion part 213 are relatively close together, which can provide a better anti-rotation effect.

[0044] Specifically, the first wall is an annular surface, and the second wall is a circular surface. The rotation space 11 forms an inner wall parallel to the annular surface; the first wall is perpendicular to the second wall. Therefore, the first insertion part 212 and the first slot 13 provide anti-rotation in the radial direction of the rotating body 2, and the second insertion part 213 and the second slot 14 provide anti-rotation in the axial direction of the rotating body 2, making the anti-rotation force of the rotating body 2 more uniform and improving product quality.

[0045] Specifically, the side of the first insertion part 212 adjacent to the first wall has a first surface 214, a second surface 215, and a third surface 216 connected in sequence; both the first surface 214 and the third surface 216 are inclined to the second surface 215. Therefore, when the first insertion part 212 is inserted into the first slot 13, the first surface 214 and the third surface 216 act as guides. After the rotating body 2 rotates relative to the fixed body 1, if the first insertion part 212 does not fully match the first slot 13, it can be better inserted into the first slot 13 under the guidance of the first surface 214 or the third surface 216. Here, "adjacent side" refers to the side perpendicular to the opposite side.

[0046] Specifically, the opening of the first slot 13 into which the first insertion part 212 is inserted is chamfered, and the chamfer also serves to guide the first insertion part 212. More specifically, the first surface 214 and the third surface 216 are chamfers formed on the ends of the plurality of first insertion parts 212.

[0047] In some embodiments, the rotating body also has a guide portion; the guide portion is disposed on the first wall; a guide groove is also formed in the rotation space, and the guide portion is slidably connected to the guide groove. The guide portion is a block, and the outer wall of the guide portion is located on the second wall. The guide portion is slidably connected to the guide groove, that is, the outer wall of the guide portion fits into the guide groove. Thus, the fixed body 1 restricts the rotating body 2, preventing the rotating body 2 from deflecting relative to the fixed body 1, and better ensuring product quality. At the same time, after the guide portion fits into the guide groove, it is also more convenient for the rotating body to maintain an axial alignment with the fixed body 1 when the first insertion part 212 and the first slot 13 move away, thereby facilitating the accuracy of the insertion of the first insertion part 212 and the second insertion part 213 into the first slot 13 and the second slot 14 when the rotating body returns from the first moving position to the second moving position.

[0048] In the specific design, the first wall has a first annular surface 217, which is formed by the outer wall of the guide portion. The guide portion is located on the first wall, hence the first annular surface 217. The first annular surface 217 is located between the first insertion portion 212 and the second insertion portion 213. A second annular surface 15 is located between the first slot 13 and the second slot 14. During the process of the rotating body moving from the second moving position to the first moving position or resetting from the first moving position to the second moving position, the first annular surface 217 and the second annular surface 15 are in contact, thus guiding the rotating body. When the rotating body is in the second moving position, the first annular surface 217 and the second annular surface 15 are completely in contact along the axial or radial direction.

[0049] In some embodiments, the rotating body includes a first coupling 21 and a second coupling 22. The first coupling 21 forms a first wall and a second wall. The second coupling 22 is detachably connected to the first coupling 21. One end of an elastic member 3 is connected to the fixed body 1, and the other end is connected to the second coupling 22. The second coupling 22 is at least partially located outside the rotation space. The fixed body 1 also has a groove 16, and the second coupling has an insert 221 and a limiting portion 222. Specifically, one end of the elastic member 3 abuts against the limiting portion 222, and the other end abuts against the groove 16. The insert 221 matches the groove 16, and the limiting portion 222 is partially located outside the groove 16. Thus, the insert 221 is located in the groove 16, and the insert 221 and the groove 16 guide the limiting portion 222, allowing the insert 221 and the limiting portion 222 to be pressed. A threaded groove 219 is provided in the guide section, and a threaded rod 223 is provided in the middle of the second connecting member 22. Specifically, the threaded rod 223 is fixed to the limiting part 222, and the threaded rod 223 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 219. The threaded rod 223 passes through the rotation space.

[0050] In some embodiments, the rotating body further has a third annular surface 218, and the fixed body 1 further has a fourth annular surface 17. The third annular surface 218 matches the fourth annular surface 17, and the third annular surface 218, the first insertion portion 212, the first annular surface 217, and the second insertion portion 213 are arranged sequentially. The guiding effect between the rotating body and the fixed body 1 is better.

[0051] In some other embodiments, a tube 23 is also provided at the guide portion. The fixing body 1 also has a socket 18 and a rotation space. The socket 18 and the groove 16 are connected in sequence. The guide portion is located in the rotation space. The tube 23 is inserted into the socket 18. The tube 23 and the guide portion together form the threaded groove 219 mentioned above.

[0052] When in use, hold the fixed body 1 and press the limiting part 222. This will cause the rotating body 2 to move in the rotation space. That is, the rotating body 2 moves from the second moving position to the first moving position. At this time, the first insertion part 212 and the second insertion part 213 are both away from the first slot 13 and the second slot 14. Then, the rotating body 2 rotates relative to the fixed body 1. After rotation, release the fixed body 1 and the limiting part 222. The rotating body 2 returns to the second moving position from the first moving position. The first insertion part 212 is inserted into the first slot 13 and the second insertion part 213 is inserted into the second slot 14. Thus, the rotating body 2 is fixed to the fixed body 1 and stops rotating.

[0053] In other designs, the second external interface 211 is a through hole formed on the rotating body. A clamping plate 24 with multiple notches 241 is provided in the second external interface 211. A push rod 25 and a rotating cap 26 are also provided on the rotating body 2. The push rod 25 passes through the rotating body and enters the second external interface 211, connecting with the clamping plate 24. The push rod 25 is threadedly connected to the rotating body, and the rotating cap 26 is fixed to the push rod 25. The push rod 25 and the push plate can rotate relative to each other. The connection between the push rod 25 and the push plate is such that the push rod 25 can both rotate relative to the push plate and drive the push plate to move; this will not be elaborated upon. Therefore, by rotating the rotating cap 26, the middle rod of the fishing umbrella in the second external interface 211 can be clamped, thus achieving the installation of the fishing umbrella.

[0054] In other designs, a thrust bearing and a cover plate are provided on the insert 221. The cover plate is rotatably connected to the insert 221, and the thrust bearing is located between the cover plate and the insert 221. Therefore, when the rotating body rotates, pressing a finger on the cover plate can prevent the cover plate from rotating, thus avoiding discomfort caused to the finger due to friction between the rotating body and the finger.
