[0041] Combination Figures 1-12 As shown, this utility model provides a canopy structure based on a split folding umbrella frame, including an unfoldable or foldable umbrella frame 1, a support column 2 detachably connected to the folding umbrella frame 1, a canopy 3 detachably connected to the folding umbrella frame 1, and multiple pull ropes 4. The folding umbrella frame 1 has an umbrella pole 11 at its center, and a sleeve 5 is provided at the lower end of the umbrella pole 11. The support column 2 includes multiple support rods 21 continuously spliced ​​along the axial direction. To facilitate assembly and reduce the number of parts, there are two support rods 21 in this embodiment. The upper end of the top support rod 21 is provided with a plug-in post 6 that can be inserted into the sleeve 5. The canopy 3 includes a top canopy 31 adapted to the folding umbrella frame 1 and side canopies 32 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top canopy 31. The top canopy 31 is detachably installed on the folding umbrella frame 1. The end of the side canopy 32 away from the top canopy 31 is connected to one end of the pull rope 4, and the other end of the pull rope 4 is connected to a ground stake 7.

[0042] The aforementioned structure employs a modular folding umbrella frame as its support structure. Through the coordination of the folding umbrella frame, support columns, and canopy, the setup process is simplified compared to traditional canopies. Traditional canopies require separate poles and ropes, while in this design, the folding umbrella frame can be quickly unfolded. The support columns are connected via a plug-in method, with the top support column's plug-in post connecting to the sleeve at the lower end of the folding umbrella frame's pole. This simple and direct operation significantly reduces setup time. The components are highly integrated, consisting of only one folding umbrella frame 1, two support columns 21, four ropes, and four ground stakes, facilitating storage and transport. Using a folding umbrella frame instead of a traditional support structure greatly reduces the number of parts, lowering the risk of parts scattering or being lost during storage and transport.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 12 As shown, an umbrella head 12 is installed at the upper end of the umbrella pole 11, and multiple folding frames 13 are installed in a ring at equal intervals on the umbrella head 12. In this embodiment, in order to balance the stability of the support and the ease of assembly, the number of folding frames 13 is preferably four. An umbrella cap structure 33 is provided at the center of the top curtain 31. The umbrella cap structure 33 is detachably connected to the umbrella head 12 through a connector. For example, the connector can be a T-shaped fastener, which passes through the umbrella cap structure 33 and is threaded or snapped to the umbrella head 12, thereby realizing the detachable function of the top curtain 31. Multiple limiting sleeves 34 are provided at intervals on the inner and outer periphery of the top curtain 31. The number of limiting sleeves 34 is adapted to the number of folding frames 13. There are four limiting sleeves 34, which are located at the four corners of the top curtain 31. The outer end of the folding frame 13 can be placed inside the limiting sleeve 34. The limiting sleeve 34 can limit the outer end of the folding frame 13, making it convenient for the folding umbrella frame 1 to open the top screen 31, and also making it convenient for the folding frame 13 and the top screen 31 to be quickly assembled and disassembled.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the folding frame 13 can adopt a double-fold or triple-fold structure. In this embodiment, the folding frame 13 preferably adopts a double-fold structure.

[0045] The folding frame 13 includes a central hinge base 131 and a first hinge rod 132 and a second hinge rod 133 respectively hinged to both sides of the central hinge base 131. The end of the first hinge rod 132 away from the central hinge base 131 is hinged to the umbrella head 12, and the end of the second hinge rod 133 away from the central hinge base 131 can be placed inside the limiting sleeve 34. When the folding frame 13 is fully unfolded, the second hinge rod 133 is located on the extension line of the first hinge rod 132 (e.g., ...). Figure 8 When the folding frame 13 is stowed, the second hinge rod 133 is arranged parallel to the first hinge rod 132 (e.g., Figure 10 ).

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figures 8 to 11 As shown, symmetrical limiting protrusions 134 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the middle hinge seat 131. Limiting holes 135 that are adapted to the limiting protrusions 134 are respectively provided on the first hinge rod 132 and the second hinge rod 133. When the folding frame 13 is fully unfolded, the limiting protrusions 134 are placed in the limiting holes 135, thereby keeping the first hinge rod 132 and the second hinge rod 133 in the unfolded state and ensuring the stability of the structure.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, an umbrella support 14 is slidably mounted on the umbrella pole 11. Multiple drive umbrella ribs 15 are evenly spaced in a ring on the umbrella support 14. One end of each drive umbrella rib 15 is hinged to the folding frame 13, and the other end is hinged to the umbrella support 14. In use, sliding the umbrella support 14 causes the folding frame 13 to unfold or fold via the drive umbrella ribs 15. A limit pin 16 is installed on the umbrella support 14, and a pin hole 111 is provided on the umbrella pole 11. The limit pin 16 can be inserted into the pin hole 111 to restrict the umbrella support 14 from sliding down. The limit pin 16 is connected to the umbrella support 14 via an anti-slip rope 17.

[0048] This structure reduces the difficulty of operation. For beginners, traditional canopy setups are complex, while this canopy structure is more intuitive and easier to understand. The folding frame can be unfolded or folded by sliding the umbrella support, and the umbrella support has a limit pin that matches the pin hole of the umbrella pole to prevent the umbrella support from slipping. Even inexperienced users can easily get started, effectively improving the setup efficiency.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, two adjacent support rods 21 are connected by a plug-in method. One support rod 21 has a sleeve 5 at its end, and the other support rod 21 has a plug-in post 6 at its end that can be plugged into the sleeve 5. With this structure, the support rods 21 are assembled by plugging in, which is convenient for installation. A flexible clamp 601 is installed on the plug-in post 6, and the sleeve 5 has a snap-fit ​​hole 501 that is adapted to the flexible clamp 601. The cooperation between the flexible clamp 601 and the snap-fit ​​hole 501 can ensure the firmness of the plug-in post 6 and the sleeve 5.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 12 As shown, multiple metal rings 35 are spaced apart along a straight line at the end of the side curtain 32 away from the top curtain 31, and one end of the pull rope 4 can be tied to the metal rings 35. In this embodiment, the number of pull ropes 4 is adapted to the number of folding frames 13, and there are four pull ropes 4. There are two metal rings 35 on each side curtain 32, which are respectively arranged on both sides of one end of the side curtain 32.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the top curtain 31 and the side curtains 32 are an integrated structure, the tarpaulin 3 is rectangular, and the top curtain 31 is square. In actual use, the tarpaulin 3 can also adopt a polygonal structure.

[0052] The construction process of this canopy structure based on a split folding umbrella frame is as follows:

[0053] First, install the canopy 31 onto the folding umbrella frame 1, that is, fix the umbrella cap structure 33 onto the umbrella head 12, and fit the limiting sleeve 34 onto the outer end of the folding frame 13. Next, the folding umbrella frame 1 can be unfolded by sliding the umbrella support, and then the limiting pin is inserted into the pin hole of the umbrella pole. Then, insert two support rods 21 to form a support column 2, and insert one end of the support column 2 into the folding umbrella frame 1 and the other end into the ground. Finally, tighten the wind ropes on both sides and nail the ground stakes according to the sunshade requirements. The above process is simple and intuitive to operate, and even inexperienced users can easily get started, effectively improving the construction efficiency. Experiments have shown that a single person can complete the construction in 3 minutes, which is 80% shorter than the traditional canopy construction time, and the effect is good.

[0054] In this specification, the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to mutually. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments. In particular, the descriptions of the embodiments described later are relatively simple, and relevant parts can be referred to the descriptions of the foregoing embodiments.

[0055] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
