[0025] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown:

[0026] This utility model provides a retractable sunshade for yachts, comprising: a fixed bracket 1; the fixed bracket 1 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the yacht; a flip bracket 2 is rotatably connected to the top rear side of the fixed bracket 1; a control motor 3 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the left side wall of the flip bracket 2; guide wheels 4 are rotatably connected to both ends of the left side wall of the flip bracket 2; a telescopic sunshade 6 is slidably connected to the bottom end face of the flip bracket 2; a drive motor 7 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the right outer wall of the fixed bracket 1; the fixed bracket 1 has a concave frame structure; guide rails 101 are provided in both the left and right side walls of the fixed bracket 1; the rear end of the guide rails 101 is arc-shaped; a drive worm gear 701 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft at the rear end of the drive motor 7 fixedly installed at the rear end of the right outer wall of the fixed bracket 1. Specifically, the function of the fixed bracket 1 is to... The fixed bracket 1 serves as the basic support structure for the entire sunshade. Its concave frame structure allows for stable installation on the yacht's exterior wall, providing a mounting base and movement guide for other components. The guide rail 101 guides the sliding of the telescopic cover 6. Its arc-shaped rear end design can cooperate with the rotation of the flip bracket 2, enabling the telescopic cover 6 to move along a specific trajectory during retraction and expansion, ensuring smoothness and stability of movement. The combination of the drive motor 7 and its drive worm gear 701 provides the power source for the rotation of the flip bracket 2. Through worm gear transmission, a large transmission ratio can be achieved, facilitating precise control of the flip angle of the flip bracket 2. At the same time, the worm gear transmission has a reverse self-locking characteristic, ensuring that the flip bracket 2 remains stable after being flipped to a specified angle and will not rotate arbitrarily due to external forces.

[0027] The flip bracket 2 has control shafts 201 fixedly installed at the rear ends of its left and right outer walls. These control shafts 201 are rotatably connected to the fixed bracket 1. A control worm gear 202 is fixedly connected to the end of the control shaft 201 on the right side of the flip bracket 2. The top of the control worm gear 202 meshes with the bottom of the drive worm 701 at the rear end of the drive motor 7 mounted on the right outer wall of the fixed bracket 1. Rectangular sliding guide grooves 203 are provided in the left and right side walls of the flip bracket 2. A motor bracket 204 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the left outer wall of the flip bracket 2. A control motor 3 is fixedly connected to the left side of the motor bracket 204. A guide wheel 4 is rotatably connected between the motor bracket 204 and the left outer wall of the flip bracket 2. The guide wheel 4 is connected to the drive shaft of the control motor 3. Specifically, the control shaft 201 and the control worm gear 202 form a transmission structure that drives the drive motor 7. The worm gear 701, in conjunction with the drive motor 7, transmits power to the flipping bracket 2, enabling the flipping bracket 2 to rotate around the control shaft 201. This adjusts the overall angle of the awning to adapt to different sunlight directions. The sliding guide groove 203 provides guidance and limits for the sliding of the telescopic awning 6, ensuring that the telescopic awning 6 slides smoothly on the flipping bracket 2 while limiting its horizontal movement. This ensures that the telescopic awning 6 is accurately positioned during unfolding and retraction. The motor bracket 204 is used to fix the control motor 3, making it stably mounted on the flipping bracket 2. The control motor 3 is connected to the guide wheel 4, providing power for the rotation of the guide wheel 4. The guide wheel 4 is used to change the direction of the tension of the control rope 5. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the control motor 3, the guide wheel 4 is rotated, thereby controlling the unfolding and retraction of the control rope 5, thus driving the telescopic movement of the awning 6.

[0028] The rotating bracket 2 has a guide shaft bracket 205 fixedly installed on the front end of its left outer wall. A guide shaft wheel 4 is rotatably connected to the right side wall of the guide shaft bracket 205. Control pull ropes 5 are connected to the guide shaft wheels 4 rotatably connected to the front and rear ends of the left outer wall of the rotating bracket 2. Sliding guide plates 601 are fixedly connected to the rear ends of the left and right side walls of the telescopic cover 6. The sliding guide plates 601 are slidably connected between the outer wall of the fixed bracket 1 and the inner wall of the rotating bracket 2. A rectangular block connecting the sliding guide plate 601 and the telescopic cover 6 is slidably connected in the sliding guide groove 203 of the rotating bracket 2. A control connecting block 602 is fixedly installed on the left side wall of the sliding guide plate 601 on the left side of the telescopic cover 6. The control connecting block 602 is slidably connected in the guide rail 101 of the fixed bracket 1 and fixedly connected to the control pull rope 5 on the guide shaft wheel 4. Specifically, the guide shaft bracket 205 provides installation support for the front guide shaft wheel 4 and, in conjunction with the rear guide shaft wheel 4, better... The control rope 5 is guided to move along its path, ensuring its stability during pulling and reducing friction and wear. As a key component connecting the guide wheel 4 and the telescopic awning 6, the control rope 5, driven by the guide wheel 4, pulls the control connecting block 602 to slide in the guide rail 101 by extending and retracting the control rope 5. This, in turn, causes the telescopic awning 6 to extend and retract along the guide structure of the fixed bracket 1 and the flip bracket 2. The sliding guide plate 601 slides between the outer wall of the fixed bracket 1 and the inner wall of the flip bracket 2, supporting and guiding the telescopic awning 6. On the other hand, it cooperates with the sliding guide groove 203 of the flip bracket 2 to restrict the direction of movement of the telescopic awning 6, ensuring its smooth extension and retraction. The control connecting block 602 transmits the tension of the control rope 5 to the telescopic awning 6 and slides in the guide rail 101, ensuring the accurate movement trajectory of the telescopic awning 6 and enabling the awning to unfold and retract smoothly.

[0029] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0030] When using the retractable awning for this yacht, first start the drive motor 7 at the rear end of the right outer wall of the fixed bracket 1. The drive shaft of the drive motor 7 drives the drive worm 701 to rotate. Since the drive worm 701 meshes with the control worm wheel 202 at the end of the control shaft 201 on the right side of the tilting bracket 2, the rotation of the drive worm 701 transmits power to the control worm wheel 202, thereby driving the control shaft 201 to rotate. This allows the tilting bracket 2 to tilt upwards and unfold around the control shaft 201 until it tilts to a suitable angle, providing space and angle for the subsequent unfolding of the telescopic awning 6. Then, start the control motor 3 fixedly installed at the rear end of the left outer wall of the tilting bracket 2. The drive shaft of the control motor 3 drives the guide wheel 4 to rotate. At this time, the control pull rope 5 connected to the guide wheels 4 at both ends of the left outer wall of the tilting bracket 2 begins to retract, pulling the control connecting block 602 on the left sliding guide plate 601 of the telescopic awning 6 to slide in the guide rail 101 of the fixed bracket 1. Since the sliding guide plate 601 is on the outside of the fixed bracket 1, The rectangular block connecting the sliding guide plate 601 and the telescopic cover 6 slides in the sliding guide groove 203 of the flip bracket 2. Under the pull of the control rope 5, the telescopic cover 6 extends smoothly outward along the guide structure of the fixed bracket 1 and the flip bracket 2 until it is fully unfolded, providing a large area of ​​sunshade space for the yacht deck. The control motor 3 is started again to rotate in the reverse direction, driving the guide shaft wheel 4 to rotate in the reverse direction. The control rope 5 begins to retract in the reverse direction, pulling the control connecting block 602 to slide back in the guide rail 101, thereby driving the telescopic cover 6 to retract smoothly inward along the guide structure of the fixed bracket 1 and the flip bracket 2 until the telescopic cover 6 is completely retracted into the bottom end face of the flip bracket 2. The drive motor 7 is started to rotate in the reverse direction, driving the worm gear 701 to drive the control worm wheel 202 and the control shaft 201 to rotate in the reverse direction, causing the flip bracket 2 to flip downward around the control shaft 201 until the flip bracket 2 fits against the fixed bracket 1, completing the full retraction operation of the sunshade awning. Example 2:

[0031] Automatic limit devices are installed at both ends of the guide rail 101 of the fixed bracket 1 and at the rotation limit positions of the flip bracket 2. The automatic limit devices can be electromagnetic induction limiters. Induction plates are installed at both ends of the guide rail 101 and at the rotation limit angles of the flip bracket 2. Electromagnetic induction switches are installed on the fixed bracket 1 and the flip bracket 2 at the corresponding positions. When the telescopic cover 6 slides to the limit positions at both ends in the guide rail 101, or when the flip bracket 2 rotates to the set limit angle, the induction plate triggers the electromagnetic induction switch. The electromagnetic induction switch transmits a signal to the control circuit. The control circuit immediately cuts off the power to the drive motor 7 and the control motor 3, so that the telescopic cover 6 and the flip bracket 2 stop moving, preventing damage to the components due to excessive movement and improving the safety and reliability of the awning.
