Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of umbrella technology, and in particular to a sunshade umbrella. Background Technology
[0002] Side umbrellas, also known as side-mounted umbrellas, are large sun umbrellas primarily used to block direct sunlight. With the increasing popularity of minimalist lifestyles and the development of the commercial and leisure industries, sun umbrellas have become widely used in our lives. Their attractive design, effective sun protection, and inexpensive outdoor advertising applications further contribute to their continued popularity.
[0003] However, the existing parasols use a method where the top connecting rod is directly hinged to the upright, meaning one end of the top connecting rod is hinged to the upright and the other end is hinged to the crossarm. This method makes the umbrella frame assembly difficult to open, requires effort to operate, and is more prone to rust and harder to open over time. In addition, after prolonged use, the stress at the hinge point between the top connecting rod and the upright becomes too concentrated, making it more prone to breakage. Utility Model Content

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, this utility model discloses a sunshade umbrella, comprising a base 1, a column 2, a sliding sleeve 3, a cross arm 5, and an umbrella frame assembly 9; the base 1 is placed on the ground; wherein, the lower end of the column 2 is fixed to the base 1; the sliding sleeve 3 can slide up and down on the column 2 and can be positioned on the column 2; one end of the cross arm 5 is hinged to the sliding sleeve 3, and the other end of the cross arm 5 is hinged to the umbrella frame assembly 9; it also includes a first connecting rod 6, a second connecting rod 7, and a telescopic rod 8; one end of the second connecting rod 7 is hinged to the fixed sleeve 4 or the column 2, and the other end is hinged to the first connecting rod 6; one end of the first connecting rod 6 is hinged to the cross arm 5, and the other end is hinged to the telescopic rod 8; the telescopic rod 8 is slidably installed into the internal cavity 10 of the column 2 (it is conceivable that a sleeve connection is also an implementation method); the up and down sliding of the sliding sleeve 3 is controlled by the linkage of the first connecting rod 6, the second connecting rod 7, and the telescopic rod 8 to control the angle of the cross arm 5.
[0023] It is worth mentioning that one end of the second connecting rod 7 is hinged to the fixing sleeve 4 or the column 2. In this embodiment, for ease of installation, one end of the second connecting rod 7 is hinged to the fixing sleeve 4. The fixing sleeve 4 is fixedly installed on the column 2 with screws; also, the fixing sleeve 4 is approximately U-shaped. It is conceivable that one end of the second connecting rod 7 could also be directly hinged to the column 2.
[0024] Furthermore, the umbrella frame component 9 is existing technology and is not an invention point, so it will not be elaborated further.
[0025] To facilitate the smooth up-and-down sliding of the telescopic rod 8, a first roller assembly 11 is provided at the lower end of the telescopic rod 8; the first roller assembly 11 includes a plurality of first rollers 1101 and a first roller seat 1102, the first roller seat 1102 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the telescopic rod 8, and the plurality of first rollers 1101 are rotatably disposed within the first roller seat 1102.
[0026] Furthermore, to facilitate the hinged rotation of the telescopic rod 8 and the first connecting rod 6, a hinge assembly 14 is provided at the upper end of the telescopic rod 8 (it is conceivable that the telescopic rod 8 and the first connecting rod 6 could also be directly hinged). The hinge assembly 14 includes a connecting sleeve 1401 and a top cover 1402. The connecting sleeve 1401 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the telescopic rod 8, and the top cover 1402 is fixed to the connecting sleeve 1401. The top cover 1402 is hinged to the first connecting rod 6.
[0027] To further facilitate the smooth up-and-down sliding of the telescopic rod 8, a second roller assembly 13 is provided at the upper end of the column 2; the second roller assembly 13 includes an end cap 1301 and a plurality of second rollers 1302, the end cap 1301 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the column 2, and the plurality of second rollers 1302 are installed inside the end cap 1301.
[0028] Furthermore, the first roller seat 1102 can abut against the end cap 1301 to prevent the telescopic rod 8 from sliding upward.
[0029] Specifically, it also includes a hand crank 12, which, via a wiring assembly 15, controls the opening or retraction of the umbrella frame assembly 9. The wiring assembly is prior art and not an invention point, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0030] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the crank 12 can be further mounted on the sliding sleeve 3, the cross arm 5, or the column 2.
[0031] It is worth mentioning that the fixing sleeve 4 can slide up and down on the column 2 in a manner that allows for stepless positioning adjustment or multi-level adjustment. Stepless positioning adjustment or multi-level adjustment is existing technology and is not an invention point, so it will not be elaborated further.
[0032] Furthermore, the hinge point between the second link 7 and the first link 6 is A, and the hinge point between the first link 6 and the telescopic rod 8 is B, with A and B being close to each other. This arrangement facilitates the upward sliding of the telescopic rod 8, thereby making it easier to open the crossarm 5.
[0033] For easy installation onto column 2, sliding sleeve 3 consists of left and right shells.
[0034] Furthermore, the hinge point between the first link 6 and the cross arm 5 is C, which is approximately located in the middle of the cross arm 5. The hinge point between the second link 7 and the fixed sleeve 4 is D.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the sliding sleeve 3 is located at the top of the column 2, the horizontal arm 5 is fully open, the hinge points ABD form a triangle, the hinge points ADC also form a triangle, and the hinge points BCD are also triangles, forming a support.
[0036] When the horizontal arm 5 is in the storage position, as Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the horizontal arm 5 and the column 2 are roughly overlapping or parallel, the sliding sleeve 3 is located at the bottom of the column 2, and the telescopic rod 8 is at its longest extension.
[0037] When the horizontal arm 5 is in the half-open position, as Figure 5 As shown, at this time, BD and DC form a large acute angle, the sliding sleeve 3 is roughly located in the middle of the column 2, and the telescopic rod 8 is about halfway extended.
[0038] When the horizontal arm 5 is fully open, as Figure 1As shown, at this time, BD and DC form a large acute angle and the acute angle is the largest. The sliding sleeve 3 is close to the fixed sleeve 4, and the telescopic rod 8 is stored in the column 2.
[0039] The working principle of this structure is: by using the up and down sliding of the sliding sleeve 3, the telescopic rod 8 is driven to slide up and down, and the linkage of the first link 6 and the second link 7 changes the opening angle of the cross arm 5.
[0040] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0041] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the scope of the essential spirit of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present utility model.
