DETAILED DESCRIPTION Preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, such that the advantages and features of the present disclosure can be more readily understood by those skilled in the art. It should be noted here that the description of these embodiments is intended to assist in understanding of the present disclosure, but does not constitute a limitation of the present disclosure. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. FIGS. 1 to 4 show a foldable outdoor product, in particular a foldable canopy, according to an embodiment. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the canopy of the present embodiment includes a plurality of supporting assemblies 1 extending in an up-down direction, and a plurality of retractable units which are configured to connect the plurality of supporting assemblies 1 and can be unfolded and folded. The supporting assembly 1 includes a leg rod 11 extending in the up-down direction, an upper fixed joint 12 fixed on an upper end portion of the leg rod 11, and a foot pad 13 fixed on a lower end portion of the leg rod 11, and the upper fixed joint 12 is provided with a slot 121. When the canopy is in an unfolded state, the retractable unit is unfolded, such that the plurality of supporting assemblies 1 are supported to be spaced; when a canopy frame is switched from the unfolded state to a folded state, the plurality of supporting assemblies 1 get close, and the retractable unit is accommodated between the plurality of supporting assemblies 1 after folded. The retractable units specifically include a plurality of inner retractable units 3 and a plurality of outer retractable units 4, the plurality of inner retractable units 3 are rotatably connected by a central connecting piece 5, the upper fixed joint 12 of each supporting assembly 1 is rotatably connected with one inner retractable unit 3, and one outer retractable unit 4 is connected between upper portions of any two adjacent supporting assemblies 1. The retractable unit is of a known structure, reference may be made to the prior patent CN201921691821.9 of the applicant, and the structure is not repeated herein. For example, the outer retractable unit includes a plurality of successively hinged cross rod assemblies, each cross rod assembly including two connecting rods with hinged middle portions. Specifically, in the present embodiment, a number of the supporting assemblies 1 is four, and when the canopy is in the folded state, the four supporting assemblies 1 are close to each other to form a substantially cubic space, and the inner retractable unit 3 and the outer retractable unit 4 are folded and close to each other, and then are accommodated in the space; that is, the retractable units are accommodated between the supporting assemblies 1. The canopy in the folded state is in a cubic shape as a whole. Furthermore, when the canopy is in the folded state, each inner retractable unit 3 is located between the supporting assemblies 1 below the central connecting piece 5. An end portion of one rod piece of each inner retractable unit 3 is located in the slot 121, such that the upper fixed joint 12 of the supporting assembly 1 is pivotally connected. Each supporting assembly 1 has a laterally protruding package supporting portion for preventing the plurality of supporting assemblies 1 from further approaching each other in the folded state, and a package support 2 abuts between upper and / or lower end portions of the supporting assemblies 1. In the present embodiment, the package support 2 includes a plurality of top supporting portions 22 and a plurality of bottom supporting portions 24. Specifically, a part of each upper fixed joint 12 extends laterally to form the top supporting portion 22, and a part of each foot pad 13 extends laterally to form the bottom supporting portion 24. In the folded state, the top supporting portions 22 of the adjacent supporting assemblies 1 abut against each other. The central connecting piece 5 has a plurality of abutting portions 51 radially extending outwards. In the folded state, each abutting portion 51 abuts against the top supporting portion 22 of the supporting assembly 1; the abutting portion 51 and the top supporting portion 22 are separated from each other in the unfolded state. Specifically, two lateral ends of each upper fixed joint 12 extend outwards to form two top supporting portions 22, and portions of the central connecting piece 5 corresponding to four top comers extend outwards to form four abutting portions 51. When the canopy is in the folded state, the top supporting portions 22 of top end portions of the adjacent supporting assemblies 1 abut against each other, and each supporting assembly 1 further has one top supporting portion 22 abutting against the abutting portion 51 of the central connecting piece 5, such that an internal space of the canopy is guaranteed, and even if the canopy is impacted by an external force, the supporting assemblies 1 cannot be shifted inwards due to the impact, and bending deformation and scratches of the internal rod pieces are avoided. Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, one foot pad 13 is fixedly provided at the lower end portion of each leg rod 11, serves to increase an area of contact with the ground to improve stability of the canopy, and also has a packaging protection effect. A part of the foot pad extends laterally to form the bottom supporting portion 24 which has a triangular plate shape as a whole. In the folded state, the bottom supporting portions 24 on the adjacent supporting assemblies 1 abut against each other, leaving a larger space in the canopy during transportation. Holes 241 are formed in the bottom supporting portion 24, and the holes 241 can not only provide an aesthetic appearance, but also reduce an overall weight of the canopy and improve strength of the bottom supporting portion 24 to reduce a possibility of deformation during injection molding. Still further, a first positioning step 242 is arranged on one of every two adjacent bottom supporting portions 24, a second positioning step 243 is provided on the other of the two adjacent bottom supporting portions, and the first positioning step 242 and the second positioning step 243 are fitted with and clamped to each other in the folded state, so as to prevent slipping between the two adjacent bottom supporting portions 24, and especially effectively prevent slipping of the bottom supporting portions when edges and corners of the canopy are impacted (i.e., oblique impacts). After the canopy is folded, the canopy in the folded state is placed in outer packing, typically a packing box, to form a canopy package. In the canopy according to the present embodiment, the supporting assemblies 1 of the folded canopy are supported to be spaced by the top supporting portions 22 of the upper end portions (upper fixed joints 12) and the bottom supporting portions 24 of the lower end portions (foot pads 13) of the supporting assemblies 1, so as to prevent the internal rod pieces from being pressed by the external force, and reduce risks of the deformation and the scratches of the rod pieces during transportation. Furthermore, in a conventional packaging method, a packaging protection piece is disposed during packaging protection to prevent pressing and collisions between a product and the outside or internal parts of the product, but a package volume is usually increased; the top supporting portion 22, the abutting portion 51 and the bottom supporting portion 24 in the present embodiment are generally located inside the canopy, such that the package volume is not increased during packaging. FIGS. 5 to 13 show another foldable canopy according to the present embodiment, which is different from the canopy shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 in that: a package support 21 is arranged on the central connecting piece 5 to support and space the upper end portions of the supporting assemblies 1, the upper fixed joints 12 and the central connecting piece 5 are conventional components, and the laterally protruding part (i.e., the top supporting portion 22) or the abutting portion 51 is omitted. A main structure of the canopy is substantially the same as that of the canopy shown in FIGS. 1 to 4. Referring to FIGS. 5 to 13, the package support 21 is arranged on the central connecting piece 5. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the package support 21 has a horizontal plate shape as a whole, and a hole is formed in a middle portion of the package support; the middle portion of the package support 21 may be fitted over an upper portion of the central connecting piece 5. The package support 21 has a plurality of connecting portions 211 for detachable connection with the supporting assemblies 1, and the package support 21 further has lugs 212 located on sides of the connecting portions 211 and capable of being inserted into gaps between the supporting assemblies 1 and the outer retractable units 4; in the folded state, the package support 21 is located between the upper fixed joints 12 of the plurality of supporting assemblies 1, each connecting portion 211 is inserted into the corresponding slot 13, and the lugs 212 extends into the gaps between the supporting assemblies 1 and the outer retractable units 4; when the canopy starts to be unfolded, the supporting assembly 1 is gradually moved away from the central connecting piece 4, such that the connecting portion 211 is gradually separated from the slot 113; when the canopy is unfolded to a certain extent (for example, 5% to 10%), the connecting portion 211 is completely separated from the slot, and the lugs 212 are also separated from the gaps between the supporting assemblies 1 and the outer retractable units 4; therefore, when the canopy is in the unfolded state, the connecting portions 211 and the slots 13 are separated from each other, and the package support 21 is taken down from the canopy, such that after a cloth cover of the canopy is put on a canopy top frame, an original design shape of the canopy will not be changed, and attractiveness of the canopy is prevented from being influenced. When the canopy is required to be folded and then packaged (for example, put into the packing box), the inner retractable units 3 and the outer retractable units 4 are folded, the supporting assemblies 1 get close to each other, and when the canopy realizes a folding degree of 90%-95%, a middle part of the package support 21 is placed on the central connecting piece 5, the supporting assemblies 1 are continuously allowed to get close to each other, the connecting portions 211 at four corners are gradually inserted into the slots 13, the lugs 212 extend into the gaps between the supporting assemblies 1 and the outer retractable units 4, and at this point, the canopy can be put into the packing box. When required to be unfolded, the canopy is taken out of the packing box, the outer retractable units 3 are unfolded around the canopy, the inner retractable units 3 are unfolded, the supporting assemblies 1 are moved away from each other, the connecting portion 211 of the package support 21 is separated from the slot 13 on the upper fixed joint 12 of the supporting assembly 1 (completely separated after unfolding is performed to a certain degree), the package support 21 can be separated from a body of the canopy, and subsequent unfolding and use of the canopy are not influenced. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the lower end portion of each leg rod 11 is fixedly provided with one bottom supporting portion 24. The bottom supporting portion 24 serves to increase an area of contact with the ground to improve stability of the canopy, and also has a packaging protection effect. The bottom supporting portion 24 has a triangular plate shape as a whole. In the folded state, the bottom supporting portions 24 on the adjacent supporting assemblies 1 abut against each other, leaving a larger space in the canopy during transportation. Holes 241 are formed in the bottom supporting portion 24, and the holes 241 can not only provide an aesthetic appearance, but also reduce an overall weight of the canopy and improve strength of the bottom supporting portion 24 to reduce a possibility of deformation during injection molding. Still further, a first positioning step 242 is arranged on one of every two adjacent bottom supporting portions 24, a second positioning step 243 is arranged on the other of the two adjacent bottom supporting portions, and the first positioning step 242 and the second positioning step 243 are fitted with and clamped to each other in the folded state, so as to prevent slipping between the two adjacent bottom supporting portions 24, and especially effectively prevent slipping of the bottom supporting portions when edges and corners of the canopy are impacted (i.e., oblique impacts). After the canopy is folded, the canopy in the folded state is placed in outer packing, typically a packing box, to form a canopy package. In the canopy according to the present embodiment, the supporting assemblies 1 of the folded canopy are supported to be spaced by the package support 21 and the bottom supporting portions 24 of the bottom end portions of the supporting assemblies 1, so as to prevent the internal rod pieces from being pressed by the external force, and reduce risks of the deformation and the scratches of the rod pieces during transportation. Furthermore, in a traditional packaging method, a packaging protection piece is disposed during packaging protection to prevent pressing and collisions between a product and the outside or internal parts of the product, but a package volume is usually increased; the package support 21 and the bottom supporting portion 24 adopted in the canopy according to the present embodiment are generally located inside the canopy, such that the package volume is not increased during packaging. Yet another foldable outdoor product according to the present embodiment is specifically a foldable chair for outdoor use, which has an unfolded state and a folded state. Referring to FIGS. 14 to 16, the foldable chair includes a plurality of supporting assemblies 1 and a retractable unit which is configured to connect the plurality of supporting assemblies 1 and can be unfolded and folded. The supporting assembly 1 includes an upper hinged base 201 and a lower hinged base 202, the lower hinged base 202 being located directly below the upper hinged base 201. When the foldable chair is in the unfolded state, the retractable unit is unfolded, such that the plurality of supporting assemblies 1 are supported to be spaced; when a foldable chair frame is converted from the unfolded state to the folded state, the plurality of supporting assemblies 1 get close, and the retractable unit is accommodated between the plurality of supporting assemblies 1 after folded. Further, a number of the supporting assemblies 1 is four, two of the supporting assemblies 1 further include backrest rods 204, the upper hinged base 201 is fixedly arranged on the backrest rod 204, and the lower hinged base 202 is fixedly arranged on a lower end portion of the backrest rod 204. The other two supporting assemblies 1 include only the upper and lower hinged bases 201, 202 described above. The retractable units include a plurality of outer retractable units 203, and every two adjacent supporting assemblies are connected by one outer retractable unit 203. The outer retractable unit 203 includes one or more cross rod assemblies, the cross rod assembly includes two connecting rods 2031 with hinged middle portions, the upper hinged base 201 is hinged to an upper end portion of one of the connecting rods 2031, and the lower hinged base 202 is hinged to a lower end portion of the other connecting rod 2031. The foldable chair further includes two armrest rods 205, one armrest rod 205 and the upper end portion of one connecting rod 2031 of one outer retractable unit 203 are fixedly connected or integrally provided, and the other armrest rod 205 and the upper end portion of one connecting rod 2031 of the other outer retractable unit 203 are fixedly connected or integrally provided. The supporting assemblies 1 are provided with package supporting portions for preventing the plurality of supporting assemblies 1 from further approaching each other when the foldable chair is in the folded state. The package supporting portions specifically include a plurality of top supporting portions 2011 and a plurality of bottom supporting portions 2021. Apart of each upper hinged base 201 extends laterally to form one top supporting portion 2011. Apart of each lower hinged base 202 extends laterally to form one bottom supporting portion 2021. When the foldable chair is in the unfolded state, the outer retractable units 203 are unfolded, the top supporting portions 2011 are separated from each other, and the bottom supporting portions 2021 are separated from each other; when the foldable chair is in the folded state, the outer retractable units 203 are folded, the top supporting portions 2011 abut against each other, and the bottom supporting portions 2021 abut against each other, thereby avoiding pressing deformation between the supporting assemblies 1 and the rod pieces of the retractable units or between the rod pieces of the retractable units. In the foldable chair according to the present embodiment, the supporting assemblies 1 of the folded foldable chair are supported to be spaced by the top supporting portions 2011 and the bottom supporting portions 2021, thus avoiding that the rod pieces of the retractable units are pressed under the action of an external force, and reducing risks of deformation and scratches of the rod pieces during transportation. FIGS. 17 and 18 show yet another foldable canopy according to the present embodiment, which is different from the canopy shown in FIGS. 5 to 13 in that: the lower end portion of the leg rod 11 is not additionally provided with the bottom supporting portion; instead, the canopy further includes a bottom support 6 independently provided relative to the body of the canopy. A main structure and a package support 21 of the canopy are substantially the same as those of the canopy shown in FIGS. 5 to 13. Specifically, the bottom support 6 is provided with a plurality of accommodating grooves 61, the number of the accommodating grooves 61 is the same as the number of the leg rods 11, such as four shown in FIG. 18, and the accommodating grooves are in one-to-one correspondence with the leg rods. The accommodating groove 61 is configured to accommodate the lower end portion of the leg rod 11. When the canopy is in the unfolded state, the bottom support 6 is separated from the body of the canopy; that is, the lower end portions of the leg rods 11 are not located in the accommodating grooves 61; when folding of the canopy is to be completed, the package support 21 and the bottom support 6 are combined with the 4 leg rods 11 of the body of the canopy in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 18; that is, the lower end portion of each leg rod 11 is inserted into one corresponding accommodating groove 61, and the folded state as shown in FIG. 17 is realized. By a combined action of the package support 21 and the bottom support 6, the leg rods 11 are prevented from further approaching inwards under pressing of the external force, and the internal rod pieces are prevented from being damaged.
