While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0031] See attached document Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the multifunctional intelligent opening and closing landscape umbrella in this embodiment includes a support column 1, a mounting column 2 and a lifting column 3, as well as a drive mechanism and an umbrella surface support mechanism.

[0032] The support column 1 is set perpendicular to the ground, and the mounting column 2 is fixed to the upper end of the support column 3. A mounting plate 4 is provided between the mounting column 2 and the support column 1. The driving mechanism includes a drive motor 5 and a ball screw transmission mechanism driven by it. The drive motor 5 is installed at the lower part of the mounting plate 4, and the ball screw 6 of the ball screw transmission mechanism extends upward through the mounting plate 4. The lifting column 3 is sleeved inside the mounting column 2, and its interior is fixedly connected to the slider 7 of the ball screw transmission mechanism. The drive motor 5 drives the ball screw 6 to rotate, and the slider 7 moves up and down with the rotation of the ball screw 6, thereby driving the lifting column 3 to slide up and down along the mounting column 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, the drive motor 5 is a low-speed, high-torque motor, and the output shaft of the drive motor 5 is connected to the ball screw 6 of the ball screw transmission mechanism through a reduction mechanism.

[0034] The umbrella support mechanism includes a first ring 11, a second ring 12, a third ring 13, and multiple sets of umbrella rib units. The first ring 11 is fixed to the upper part of the lifting column 3 and moves up and down with the lifting column 3. The second ring 12 and the third ring 13 are fixed at intervals to the outer periphery of the mounting column 3. The outer periphery of the first ring 11, the second ring 12, and the third ring 13 are all provided with radial connecting plates 14 corresponding to the multiple sets of umbrella rib units. Each set of umbrella rib units includes a first connecting rod 15, a second connecting rod 16, a third connecting rod 17, and a fourth connecting rod 18. One end of the first connecting rod 15 is hinged to a radial connecting plate 14 of the first ring 11, and the other end of the first connecting rod 15 is hinged to the outer part of the middle of the second connecting rod 16. One end of the second connecting rod 16 is hinged to a radial connecting plate 14 of the second ring 12, and the other end of the second connecting rod 16 is hinged to the end of the third connecting rod 17, the other end of which is the outer edge of the umbrella support mechanism. One end of the fourth connecting rod 18 is hinged to a radial connecting plate 14 of the third ring 13, and the other end of the fourth connecting rod 18 is hinged to the upper part of the middle of the third connecting rod 17. Thus, multiple sets of umbrella rib units synchronously unfold or retract during the up-and-down sliding of the first ring 11 along with the lifting column 3, achieving the opening and closing action of the landscape umbrella. The specific unfolding process is shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 , 3 As shown in sections 1 and 4 respectively. (See attached image) Figure 1 A schematic diagram showing the umbrella rib unit in its folded state. (See attached diagram) Figure 3 A schematic diagram showing the umbrella rib unit in its fully deployed state. (See attached diagram) Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram showing the umbrella rib unit in a semi-deployed state. (See attached diagram.) Figure 5 and 6 The diagram shows all the umbrella rib units in their folded and unfolded states.

[0035] This embodiment of the multifunctional intelligent opening and closing landscape umbrella also includes a high-strength waterproof and sun-protective canopy, which is fixed to the outside of the canopy support mechanism. The canopy can be designed according to actual needs to meet the decorative function of gardens.

[0036] When the umbrella needs to be opened, the drive motor 5 is started, which drives the lifting column 3 to move downward. The first ring 11 moves downward with the lifting column 3. At this time, the first connecting rod 15 drives the second connecting rod 16 to extend outward, which in turn pushes the third connecting rod 17 to move outward. Under the limiting action of the fourth connecting rod 18, the outer end of the third connecting rod 17 tilts upward until the outer end of the third connecting rod 17 tilts upward, realizing the unfolding and fixing of the entire umbrella support mechanism, while tensioning the umbrella surface and fully opening the umbrella. The umbrella closing process is reversed. The drive motor 5 is started to reverse, the lifting column 3 moves upward, and the first ring 11 moves upward with the lifting column 3. At this time, the first connecting rod 15 drives the second connecting rod 16 to retract inward, which in turn pulls the third connecting rod 17 to move inward. Under the limiting action of the fourth connecting rod 18, the outer end of the third connecting rod 17 retracts downward until the third connecting rod 17 is vertically closed, realizing the closure of the entire umbrella support mechanism, tightening the umbrella surface, and completely closing the umbrella body.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the multifunctional intelligent opening and closing landscape umbrella also includes landscape lights to decorate the umbrella. The landscape lights can be located on the outer edge of the umbrella support mechanism, the top of the lifting column 3, or other positions on the umbrella surface, providing decorative lighting for the umbrella and creating a good landscape effect.

[0038] More preferably, the top of the lifting column 3 is provided with a hemispherical shell 8 and a control mechanism disposed inside the hemispherical shell 8. The control mechanism is connected to the drive motor 5 and is used to control the start and stop of the drive motor 5 to realize the automatic opening and closing of the landscape umbrella.

[0039] This embodiment of the multifunctional intelligent opening and closing landscape umbrella also includes a wireless transmission unit connected to the control mechanism, used to realize remote start and stop control of the drive motor 5, thus fulfilling the remote control function.

[0040] This embodiment of the multifunctional intelligent opening and closing landscape umbrella also includes a wind speed sensor connected to the control mechanism, used to control the start and stop of the drive motor 5 based on the data collected. In case of strong winds, the landscape umbrella can automatically close to ensure safety.

[0041] This embodiment of the multifunctional intelligent opening and closing landscape umbrella also includes a photosensitive sensor connected to the control mechanism, used to control the start and stop of the drive motor 5 based on the data it collects. This allows for automatic closing at night and automatic opening during the day.

[0042] It should be noted that the control mechanism in this application adopts existing control principles, and only starts and stops the drive motor by receiving signals from the wireless transmission unit, wind speed sensor, photosensor, or timer switch. Its operating procedure itself is prior art. Of course, the control mechanism can also be set inside the supporting column or in other locations.

[0043] This utility model of a multifunctional intelligent opening and closing landscape umbrella utilizes a sliding lifting column and a four-bar linkage mechanism. Under the efficient action of a drive motor and a roller screw mechanism, it achieves synchronous radial opening and closing of the umbrella rib units, converting simple linear motion into radial opening and closing motion of the umbrella ribs. The design is ingenious, the structure is simple, and the power is sufficient, making it ideal for automated control. Furthermore, by combining it with landscape lights, a wireless transmission unit, a wind speed sensor, a photosensor, or a timer switch, it can achieve multifunctional applications and multi-faceted intelligent opening and closing, resulting in a high degree of automation and excellent landscape effect.

[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes or alterations made by those skilled in the art using the above-disclosed technical content shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
