Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of umbrella technology, specifically to a bending component for outdoor umbrellas. Background Technology

[0002] Outdoor umbrellas, fishing umbrellas, and walking stick umbrellas are generally used fixed to the ground, or supported by an umbrella pole on a relatively stable foundation, for purposes such as sunshade and rain protection. Typically, walking stick umbrellas have two folding parts, allowing for a misalignment of the support position and the center of gravity of the shaded area, thus providing more space for movement for the person or object being shaded. However, most current mainstream folding parts have limited adjustable angles, significant wobbling, or are slippery and difficult to operate when hands are wet, resulting in a poor user experience. Therefore, to avoid the shortcomings of existing technology, it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology and provide a bending component for outdoor umbrellas that is adjustable at multiple angles and stable.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 6 The present invention discloses a bending component for an outdoor umbrella, comprising a first body 1 and a second body 2. The lower part of the first body 1 is hinged to the upper part of the second body 2. A plurality of pins 3 arranged in a circular array are mounted on the upper part of the second body 2. The lower part of the first body 1 is provided with a limiting groove 4 corresponding to the pins 3. A spring 5 is installed on the rear side of the upper part of the second body 2 to abut against the pins 3. A pin limiting member 6 is installed on the front side of the upper part of the second body 2 to abut against the pins 3. A button 7 is connected to the pin limiting member 6. In use, the pins 3 spring outward and embed into the limiting groove 4 to stop rotation. Pressing the button 7 can press down the independently movable pins 3, which can be unlocked and freely adjusted. The adjustable corresponding angle range is large, and the amount of shaking is small. It is easy to operate and has a good user experience.

[0026] The ball-shaped limiting component 6 is installed to the second body 2 via the first screw 8. The ball-shaped limiting component 6 is sleeved on the outside of the first screw 8, which facilitates the stable installation of the ball-shaped limiting component 6.

[0027] The second body 2 includes a front body 9 and a back body 10, which facilitates the installation of components inside the second body 2. The front body 9 is installed on the back body 10 by a second screw 11, which facilitates a stable connection between the front body 9 and the back body 10.

[0028] The front main body 9 is connected to the back main body 10 by a fixing limit bolt 12, which facilitates the positioning and installation of the front main body 9 and the back main body 10.

[0029] The structure comprises 10 ball bearings (3) and 12 limiting grooves (4). It features 10 independently movable ball bearings (3) and 12 limiting grooves (4) on the bent components. At the normal angle, two ball bearings (3) are embedded in the limiting grooves (4). At the vertical angle, the two corresponding ball bearings (3) are embedded in the grooves, achieving force balance. With a bending angle of 0 degrees, the two ball bearings (3) form a group, preventing rotation. When rotating 6 degrees, the embedded ball bearings (3) become another group of two, with a limiting stop point every six degrees. Each adjacent stop point corresponds to another group of adjacent ball bearings (3), achieving harmonic rotation prevention and significantly improving the rotation prevention angle division within a limited volume. Commercially available products have a maximum of 10 stopping points within a 180-degree range of motion, while this new bent component achieves 30 stopping points. However, for production purposes, considering force redundancy, this structure is not pushed to its limits. Nevertheless, the actual application of this bent component structure exceeds these limits by more than three times.

[0030] The three pins are grouped in pairs; if they are symmetrical, they can be considered a group. The maximum bending angle of this product is set to +90 or -90 degrees (a total of 180 degrees), with a locking point every 6 degrees. In actual use, it is basically stepless locking, and there is no need to specifically find the locking point. Even if you release button 7 at the dead point in the middle of the 6 degrees, the weight will naturally cause it to fall into an adjacent locking point and lock.

[0031] The ball 3 is shaped like a frustum and has a reasonable taper to lock the ball's movement. Because the ball's travel is greater than its actual locking travel, our product is more durable and can remain stable even after long-term wear and tear, as the taper will compensate for the wear.

[0032] The second main body 2 is provided with an installation groove 13 for installing the spring 5 and the ball 3, which facilitates the positioning and stable installation of the spring 5 and the ball 3. The ball limiting member 6 is provided with a flange 14 for the ball 3 to abut against, which prevents the ball 3 from falling off and makes the ball 3 rotate more smoothly.

[0033] Both the upper part of the first main body 1 and the lower part of the second main body 2 are provided with connecting sleeves 15 to facilitate the installation of the umbrella pole.

[0034] The first body 1 is provided with a hinge hole 16, and the second body 2 is provided with a hinge post 17 corresponding to the hinge hole 16, so that the connection between the first body 1 and the second body 2 is more stable, the rotation is more stable, and the amount of shaking is small.

[0035] An anti-disengagement block 18 is provided on the outside of button 7 to prevent button 7 from disengaging after reset.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
