[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0019] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a retractable awning includes a fixed base 1 with a corresponding receiving chamber. The bottom and lower front of the receiving chamber are open and can be closed by an L-shaped clamping plate 2. A sunshade cloth is rolled up inside the receiving chamber via a retraction assembly. The free end of the sunshade cloth is connected to the inside of the clamping plate 2. An extension arm 3 is located below the sunshade cloth, with one end rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the receiving chamber and the other end mounted inside the clamping plate 2. The extension arm 3, positioned below the sunshade cloth, is suitable for supporting it. When the sunshade cloth needs to be unfolded, the retraction assembly releases the cloth, and the extension arm 3 naturally extends with the free end of the cloth. The clamping plate 2 then moves to a predetermined position, fixing the cloth and ensuring it remains taut. When the sunshade cloth needs to be retracted, the retraction assembly rolls it up, the clamping plate 2 is pulled back to its original position, and the extension arm 3 is retracted into the receiving chamber. Throughout the process, the sunshade cloth remains taut. During this process, the operating length of the awning can be adjusted according to the sunlight intensity at different times.

[0020] The frame of the fixing base 1 can be made of high-strength aluminum alloy or stainless steel. The mounting plate 6 is provided on the rear side of the fixing base 1, which makes it easy to fix the sunshade to the wall, column or other position by fixing screws. When the sunshade cloth is retracted, it is rolled up on the retraction assembly, the extension arm 3 is retracted into the receiving chamber, and the clamping plate 2 closes the receiving chamber, making the sunshade easy to move and place.

[0021] The sunshade fabric is made of high-density waterproof material, which also has UV protection and anti-aging functions, and can cope with heavy rain and high temperature environments.

[0022] In some preferred embodiments, a winding assembly is disposed within the receiving chamber. The winding assembly is adapted to wind up and release the sunshade fabric, the free end of which is disposed inside the clamping plate 2. The winding assembly includes a winding rod and a drive motor that provides a drive. The output end of the drive motor is fixedly disposed to one end of the winding rod. After the drive motor is started, the winding rod rotates to release or retract the sunshade fabric. The winding assembly can be located in the upper part of the receiving chamber, with the lower space used to retract the extender arm 3.

[0023] In some preferred embodiments, the extension arm 3 is formed by two sections of lever arm arranged end to end. The lever arm has a predetermined working length. The extension arm 3 is provided in two sets. Rotating seats 5 corresponding to the extension arm 3 are arranged at corresponding positions on the inner wall of the receiving cavity. The corresponding ends of the extension arm 3 and the rotating seats 5 are rotatably configured by torsion springs 4. The lever arms of the extension arm 3 are rotatably configured at the connection points by torsion springs 4. Under the action of torsion springs 4, the extension arm 3 is in the extended state in its natural state. When the sunshade is retracted, the sunshade is rolled up, the clamping plate 2 is pulled back, and the extension arm 3 is folded by force and pulled back into the receiving cavity.

[0024] In some preferred embodiments, an LED strip light is configured at the bottom of the extension arm 3, and an LED strip light is configured below the rear wall of the receiving chamber of the fixing base 1. This provides illumination at night or in low light conditions, increasing the practicality of the sunshade. The power supply module and connecting cable of the LED strip light can be configured inside the corresponding arm.

[0025] The specific usage is as follows: A mounting plate 6 is provided on the rear side of the mounting base 1, facilitating the fixing of the sunshade to the wall and clearing away any obstacles on the wall to ensure a safe installation environment. When the sunshade needs to be unfolded, the retractable assembly releases the sunshade, and the extendable arm 3 naturally extends with the free end of the sunshade. The locking plate 2 then moves to the predetermined position, fixing the sunshade and ensuring it remains taut. When the sunshade needs to be retracted, the retractable assembly retracts the sunshade, the locking plate 2 is pulled back to its original position, and the extendable arm 3 is retracted into the receiving cavity under force. Throughout the entire process, the sunshade remains taut.

[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. In summary, if those skilled in the art, inspired by this description, design similar structural methods and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Each component of this application can be driven by a corresponding external motor; this is prior art and will not be elaborated upon here.
