[0001] The present utility model relates to the technical field of outdoor umbrellas, more particularly luminous umbrellas. STATE OF THE ART
[0002] Outdoor umbrellas, according to their specifications, can be divided into column umbrellas and side umbrellas. Side umbrellas can be further divided into banana umbrellas, Roman umbrellas, etc. According to the structure of outdoor umbrellas, which are equipped with umbrella columns and frames, depending on the product specifications, the umbrellas can be placed in the center of the columns or on the sides. Nowadays, to ensure that outdoor umbrellas have a good effect at night, they are generally accompanied by a light structure to enhance the illumination or increase the overall ambiance.
[0003] There are various types of illuminated umbrellas, among which a number of LED light beads are commonly used when mounted on the umbrella's edge. However, during production, it is necessary to drill holes in each edge of the umbrella, which reduces the rib's strength and makes the umbrella prone to breakage. Installing the LED light beads in the holes is also time-consuming and labor-intensive, and using a large number of light beads to achieve the desired illumination effect, in addition to the increased number of lamps and bulbs, also results in more wiring and a more complex installation. Furthermore, when a light bead burns out or the wiring is damaged, the entire umbrella's functionality is affected, and maintenance becomes particularly cumbersome.
[0004] For example, patent no. CN209711801U discloses a type of parasol side lamp ball connection structure, belonging to the field of leisure furniture articles, which includes a parasol frame and a substrate within the parasol frame, and the substrate is equipped with several LED lamp balls, each LED lamp ball position is equipped with a lamp holder corresponding to the LED lamp ball, the lamp holder is equipped with an inset card chamber, and the position corresponding to the inset card chamber is equipped with a lamp hole on the umbrella frame, and the lampshade can pass through the lamp hole and be inserted into the inset card intracavity, after the lampshade is inserted into the inset card intracavity, reverse movement can be prevented and it can be detached from the lamp holder.
[0005] Furthermore, patent no. CN104665138B discloses a type of illuminated umbrella, belonging to the technical field of parasols, comprising a lower umbrella disc and an upper umbrella disc to be fixed to the top of the umbrella shaft, one end of the long frame of the umbrella is articulated with the upper umbrella disc, the other end is used to support the umbrella canopy, one end of the short frame of the umbrella is articulated with the lower umbrella disc, the other end in the central part of the long frame being articulated, it is characterized in that the long bone opens a groove with the short bone or one of the two, the light-emitting device is provided with the described groove, the light-emitting device comprises a light strip, the light strip is fixed in the groove, it is equipped with a light source in the front face of the light strip,The described light source is fixed in a fixed seat; the fixed seat is permanently attached to the umbrella frame, and there is a protective cover for the power outlet.
