Description
Title of the invention: Outdoor parasol cover structure technical field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of parasols and specifically refers to a parasol cover structure for outdoor use. Basic technology
[0002] Parasols are widely used in people's daily lives. They can block the sun, wind, or rain. They are an indispensable item for leisure activities at home, outdoor outings, or camping. They can provide a comfortable cooling space during hot summers. Therefore, they are widely installed in outdoor cafes, rest areas, on lawns, in parks, at the seaside, or in other locations.
[0003] This type of parasol differs from ordinary umbrellas. The diameter of the parasol canopy is generally larger, and the volume of the parasol body is relatively large. It can provide a large shaded area, so the ribs used to structurally support the parasol canopy must be of sufficient length. The ribs of traditional parasols are fixed, so when folded after use, the total length of the parasol is at least equal to that of a rib, and the space occupied will be relatively significant, especially when the surface area of the parasol canopy exceeds 3 m² and the folded length of the parasol is generally greater than 1.5 m, making storage relatively inconvenient and transport somewhat difficult in cars. Furthermore, large volumes are also required for packaging and transport.Therefore, such a large volume of packaging requires relatively higher packaging and transport costs. Contents of the invention

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0025] As shown in Figures 1 to 7: an outdoor parasol cover structure, comprising an upper support disc 1, a lower support disc 2, ribs 3 and support rods 4; one end of the rib 3 is rotatably arranged on the upper support disc 1; one end of the support rod 4 is rotatably arranged on the lower support disc 2, and the other end of the support rod 4 is rotatably connected to the central end of the rib 3 by moving away from the lower support disc 2 or towards the upper support disc 1 by means of an external force so that the surface of the parasol can be controlled to close or open; the cross-section of the rib 3 is an elliptical structure;When supporting the parasol cover, the short side of the rib is placed downwards, so that the surface of the parasol can improve the support strength of the cover; it includes a long rib 31, a short rib 32 and an elastic connecting device 33; the long rib 31 and the short rib 32 are hollow structures, and one end of the short rib 32 is disposed of with a constriction 34 which can easily extend into the long rib 31; the short ribs 32 are always connected to the long ribs 31 of the parasol by means of the elastic connecting device 33; the elastic connecting device 33 includes a support torsion spring 331; and an elastic cord 332; a support torsion spring 331 is arranged in the long rib 31 and the short rib 32; the two ends of the elastic cord 332 are respectively connected to the support torsion springs 331 in the long rib 31 and the short rib 32; more specifically, the choke can be inserted into the long rib. When folding, simply remove the choke from the short rib from the long rib, which can shorten the length of the ribs, facilitating transport and reducing transport costs; the choke forms on the rib; when the short ribs are connected to the long ones, it can provide better support.
[0026] In the structure of the outdoor parasol cover mentioned above, the support torsion spring 331 comprises two support columns 3311 and an elastic ring 3312; the two support columns 3311 are respectively connected to the elastic ring 3312, and the two support columns 3311 are inclined relative to each other; the ends of the two support columns 3311 are always disposed against the inner wall of the long ribs 31 and the inner wall of the short ribs 32 under the elastic action of the elastic rings 3312; more specifically, it is to ensure that when the support column is located in the long rib or the short rib, the end of the support column can be glued to the inner wall of the long rib or the inner wall of the short rib to improve the stability of the connection between the support torsion spring and the long and short ribs.
[0027] In the structure of the outdoor parasol cover mentioned above, plugs 5 are arranged at both ends of the rib 3 and the support rod 4; more specifically, the plugs on the ribs are designed to facilitate the connection between the ribs and the cover and also the connection between the rib and the upper support disc; the plugs provided on the support rod are intended to facilitate the connection between the ribs and the cover and also the connection between the rib and the lower support disc to prevent deformation of the rib and the support rod during use.
[0028] In the structure of the above-mentioned outdoor parasol cover, the constriction 34 of the short rib 34 and the internal wall of the long rib 31 fit together with play; more specifically, this is intended to facilitate the dismantling of the short rib and the long rib.
[0029] In the structure of the outdoor parasol cover mentioned above, the ratio of the lengths of the short ribs 32 and the long ribs 31 is 1:2. When it is necessary to dismantle it for transport, it is sufficient to remove the short ribs to reduce the overall length and facilitate transport.
