[0037] Example 1

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a quick-release bracket 100, which includes a canopy support unit 1 and at least three leg support units 2. The canopy support unit 1 is used to enable the opening or closing of the top of the canopy, and the leg support units 2 are used to enable the opening or closing of the perimeter of the canopy.

[0039] The canopy support unit 1 includes a first hinge seat 11 and first support rods 12. Two first support rods 12 are hinged to the first hinge seat 11 for each leg support unit 2. During use, each first support rod 12 can rotate relative to the first hinge seat 11 to unfold or fold. That is, each leg support unit 2 is provided with two first support rods 12 to cooperate with it for support. In the unfolded state, the two first support rods 12 corresponding to each leg support unit 2 form a first included angle to better meet the support requirements. The leg support unit 2 includes a second hinge seat 21 and four second support rods 22 hinged to the second hinge seat 21. During use, each second support rod 22 can rotate relative to the second hinge seat 21 to unfold or fold. In the unfolded state, the four second support rods 22 form an X-shaped structure to achieve stable support and ensure support strength. In specific operation, the user can apply external force to push the first hinge seat 11 upward to make each of the first support rods 12 unfold outward. When the user applies external force to pull the first hinge seat 11 downward, each of the first support rods 12 can be folded and gathered together. Similarly, for each leg support unit 2, when the user applies external force to pull the second hinge seat 21 outward, the four second support rods 22 can unfold outward to form an X-shaped structure. When the user applies external force to push the second hinge seat 21 inward, the four second support rods 22 can be folded and gathered together.

[0040] This utility model designs a quick-release bracket 100 comprising a canopy support unit 1 and at least three leg support units 2. The canopy support unit 1 includes a first hinge seat 11 and a first support rod 12 hinged to the first hinge seat 11. The leg support unit 2 includes a second hinge seat 21 and four second support rods 22 hinged to the second hinge seat 21. The four second support rods 22 of the leg support unit 2 form an X-shaped structure when unfolded. In practical use, the user only needs to apply external force to push or pull the first hinge seat 11 and the second hinge seat 21 to unfold or fold the canopy support unit 1 and the leg support unit 2. Therefore, when this quick-release bracket 100 is applied to a pergola, it is very convenient to quickly unfold or fold the pergola. At the same time, it can simplify the overall structure while ensuring support strength, thereby reducing production costs.

[0041] In Embodiment 1 of this utility model, the number of leg support units 2 is four. This structural design results in an octagonal overall structure for the constructed pergola. In practical implementation, the four leg support units 2 can be evenly spaced.

[0042] In the first embodiment of this utility model, when each of the leg support units 2 is in the unfolded state, a second included angle is formed between the two second support rods 22 located above, and the first included angle is equal to the second included angle, so as to better achieve support.

[0043] In the first specific embodiment of this utility model, the first support rod 12 is a fixed support rod, that is, the first support rod 12 can only be rotated to unfold or fold during actual use, but cannot be stretched or retracted to shorten or lengthen.

[0044] In a second specific embodiment of this utility model, the first support rod 12 is a telescopic support rod, meaning that during actual use, the first support rod 12 can be rotated to unfold or fold, and can also be telescopic to shorten or lengthen. In specific implementations of this utility model, when the required shade structure is relatively large, the first support rod 12 can be designed as a telescopic support rod, so that when unfolded, it can form a large shade structure, and when folded, the entire shade structure can be made smaller in volume, thus facilitating transport; when the required shade structure is relatively small, the first support rod 12 can be designed as a fixed support rod.

[0045] In the first embodiment of this utility model, pull rings 3 are provided on both the first hinge seat 11 and the second hinge seat 21. During use, the first support rod 12 and the second support rod 22 can be unfolded or folded by pushing and pulling the first hinge seat 11 and the second hinge seat 21.

[0046] In a specific implementation of this utility model, one side of the first hinge seat 11 and the second hinge seat 21 are provided with a folding groove 41, and one end of the folding groove 41 extends to the side wall of the first hinge seat 11 and the second hinge seat 21, and the other end of the folding groove 41 forms a hinge groove 411; one end of the first support rod 12 and the second support rod 22 are provided with a hinge ball head 42, and the hinge ball head 42 is hinged in the hinge groove 411 by a pin 43; wherein, the size of the hinge groove 411 is slightly larger than the size of the hinge ball head 42, and the pin 43 can limit the rotation of the hinge ball head 42, so that the hinge ball head 42 can only rotate in a specified direction and cannot rotate in other directions, thereby ensuring that the first support rod 12 and the second support rod 22 can be accurately inserted into the folding groove 41 during the unfolding process. In practical use, when the present invention is in the unfolded state, the first support rod 12 and the second support rod 22 will be engaged in the folding groove 41 near the hinge ball head 42, so as to limit the first support rod 12 and the second support rod 22 by using the folding groove 41; while in the folded state, only the hinge ball head 42 is hinged in the hinge groove 411, and the first support rod 12 and the second support rod 22 will leave the folding groove 41 near the hinge ball head 42.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] Please see Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the quick-support bracket 100 of this utility model differs from Embodiment 1 in that: in this Embodiment 2, the number of leg support units 2 is three. This structural design results in a hexagonal overall structure for the constructed pergola, and in practice, the three leg support units 2 can be evenly distributed. In Embodiment 2 of this utility model, the other structures of the quick-support bracket 100 are completely identical to those in Embodiment 1; please refer to the details of Embodiment 1 for further information, which will not be repeated here.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this utility model discloses a pergola 200, which includes a quick-release bracket 100 and a sunshade cloth 5 covering the outside of the quick-release bracket 100. The first hinge seat 11 and the second hinge seat 21 are both connected to the sunshade cloth 5. The quick-release bracket 100 can be any one of the quick-release brackets in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2. For details, please refer to the detailed description of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, which will not be repeated here.

[0051] On the inner side of the sunshade fabric 5, sleeves 51 are provided at the free ends of the first support rod 12 and the second support rod 22. The free ends of the first support rod 12 and the second support rod 22 are fitted into the sleeves 51. Specifically, the sleeves 51 can be formed by sewing the fabric on the inner side of the sunshade fabric 5, so as to limit the free ends of the first support rod 12 and the second support rod 22.

[0052] In the third embodiment of this utility model, the free ends of the first support rod 12 and the second support rod 22 are both locked together with the sleeve 51 by the locking member 6, so that the free ends of the first support rod 12 and the second support rod 22 can be reliably combined with the sleeve 51, ensuring that the free ends of the first support rod 12 or the second support rod 22 will not detach from the sleeve 51 during use.

[0053] In the third embodiment of this utility model, the sunshade cloth 5 is provided with an entrance door 52 between the two support leg units 2 to facilitate the entry and exit of people and wind into and out of the sunshade 200.
