[0002] Outdoor awnings are widely used in recreational areas such as squares, beaches, parks, and courtyards, providing people with comfortable spaces for relaxation and shade. Existing outdoor awnings can include folding awnings and fixed awnings. Fixed awnings typically use sheet metal or PVC roofs. Existing fixed awnings are usually composed of a roof and a frame. The frame typically includes a ring beam and legs for support.

[0003] Existing sunshade structures are relatively complex and poorly designed. With the increasing demand for outdoor activities (such as camping, picnics, outdoor markets, beach leisure, etc.), the demand for portable sunshade equipment is increasing. However, existing sunshade structures are inconvenient to carry, complicated to install, and have a large storage volume, making it difficult to meet the flexibility requirements of outdoor scenarios.
