Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] Hereinafter, the technical proposal according to the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Embodiment

[0018] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, an outdoor shielding device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 1, this outdoor shielding device includes a sunshade 1 and a support rod 2. The support rod 2 includes a plurality of connecting bars 20 with their ends connected in series. Two adjacent connecting bars 20 are removably connected. The connecting bar 20 has toughness. A through hole 11 is provided on one side of the sunshade 1. One end of the support rod 2 is inserted into the through hole 11. The support rod 2 is bent into an arc shape when in use.

[0020] In this embodiment, in order to pass the support rod 2, a through hole 11 is provided on one side of the sunshade 1, thereby connecting the support rod 2 and the sunshade 1. And when the support rod 2 is bent, and when both ends of the support rod 2 are fixed to the fixed surface, the sandpaper 1 can be unfolded and supported. By the wind, the sunshade 1 is blown up. Thereby, the sunshade 1 can form a shielding space according to the support rod 2 and play a role of sunshade. This structure is simple, low in cost, and easy to form a shielding space when the user uses it outdoors. Moreover, it does not require fixing by a string, has a small occupied space, and solves the problem that the existing awning is fixed by a rope, resulting in a large occupied area and easy to trip people, improving the user experience. Also, since the support rod 2 is formed by connecting a plurality of joint bars 20, it is easy to assemble. Furthermore, when the plurality of joint bars 20 are not connected, the storage and packaging of the support rod 2 are easy, and the transportation is also easy.

[0021] Hereinafter, the usage method of the outdoor shielding device according to this embodiment will be described in detail. When in use, first, after connecting the plurality of joint bars 20 end to end to form the support rod 2, after inserting the support rod 2 into the through hole 11, find the direction where the wind hits, and insert both ends of the support rod 2 into the sand beach or soil respectively, etc., and form the support rod 2 in an arc shape such as a semi-circle with respect to the ground so as to be perpendicular to the direction of the wind, and lift the sunshade 1 along the direction of the wind to form a shielding space.

[0022] Here, the side of the sunshade 1 having the through hole 11 is folded and sewn in the reverse direction. The sunshade 1 is made of a light material such as nylon so that the sunshade 1 can be easily blown up. Due to its length, the support rod 2 has a certain bendability. In order to better the bendability and strength of the support rod 2, the material of the support rod 2 is an aluminum alloy material, preferably a 7-series aviation aluminum alloy.

[0023] In actual operation, a fixing band 12 is provided at a position near one end and / or both ends of the drilling hole 11 in the sunshade 1. The fixing band 12 is wound around the support rod 2 so that the sunshade 1 and the support rod 2 do not move relative to each other. Thereby, the sunshade 1 can be stably fixed to the support rod 2, preventing the sunshade 1 from moving along the support rod 2 or stacking due to the wind action, and improving the user experience.

[0024] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the fixing band 12 is preferably an elastic belt. At least one rubber strip 123 for increasing the frictional force is provided on the elastic belt. The elastic belt has elasticity and is stretchable, and is wound around the support rod 2 after being stretched. The rubber strip 123 is in close contact with the outer surface of the support rod 2, effectively increasing the frictional force between the fixing band 12 and the support rod 2, preventing the sunshade 1 from moving up and down along the support rod 2, and effectively fixing the relative position between the sunshade 1 and the support rod 2. Specifically, the rubber strip 123 is preferably made of silicone rubber or other rubber materials. Each rubber strip 123 is provided along the length direction of the fixing band 12, and the number is 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., and its width can also be arranged as required. Of course, in other embodiments, the rubber strip 123 may be provided along the width direction of the fixing band 12 or obliquely.

[0025] In actual operation, the length of the fixing band 12 after extension is greater than twice the circumference of the connecting bar 20. One end of the fixing band 12 is removably connected to the end position near the perforation hole 11 of the fixing band 12 after winding around the support rod 2 at least two turns by being stretched, thereby fixing the free end of the fixing band 12 and realizing clamping the sunshade 1 to the support rod 2.

[0026] Specifically, one end of the fixing band 12 is fixed at a terminal position close to the perforation hole 11 of the fixing band 12 by a removable structure 120 after being stretched and wound around the support rod 2 at least two turns. The removable structure 120 may be a male and female buckle 122, Velcro (registered trademark), or the like. That is, the free end of the fixing band 12 can be fixed at a terminal position close to the perforation hole 11 by the removable structure 120.

[0027] Here, in one embodiment, a male buckle 121 is provided at a terminal position close to the perforation hole 11 in the fixing band 12. A female buckle 122 is provided at one end of the fixing band 12 away from the sunshade 1. Alternatively, a female buckle 122 is provided at a terminal position close to the perforation hole 11 in the fixing band 12, and a male buckle 121 or the like is provided at one end of the fixing band 12 away from the sunshade 1. By engaging the male buckle 121 and the female buckle 122, the free end of the fixing band 12 can be fixed at a terminal position close to its own perforation hole 11.

[0028] In this embodiment, one end of the fixing band 12 is sewn to the sunshade 1. Specifically, the fixing band 12 is stably fixed to the sunshade 1 by sewing at least one-fifth of the length of the fixing band 12 and the sunshade 1. Further, the male buckle 121 is located at the overlapping position of the fixing band 12 and the sunshade 1 in order to clamp the sunshade 1 to the support rod 2 when the free end of the fixing band 12 is fixed to the other end of the fixing band 12.

[0029] In actual operation, as shown in FIG. 1, the outdoor shielding device further includes at least one anchor 13. The anchor 13 is connected to the support rod 2 or the connection position between the sunshade 1 and the support rod 2 via a rope 14. Specifically, the anchor 13 may be a pocket that can be tied up. When the user ties the rope 14 in the anchor 13 to the support rod 2, by utilizing the gravity of the anchor 13 to match the tensile force of the rope, the downward biasing force of the support rod 2 can be effectively increased, preventing the support rod 2 from being blown down when the wind is strong, and effectively enhancing the stability of the support. Stones, sand, soil, etc. can be put into the aforementioned tieable pocket. In other embodiments, the anchor 13 may be a single counterweight block or a single piece of cloth. In the case of cloth, pressing the cloth with soil or sand can also enhance the mounting stability of the support rod 2.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 4, the multi-section connecting bar 20 includes a tubular first link 21, a second link 23, and a plurality of intermediate links 22. One end of the first link 21 is fitted to one end of the intermediate link 22, two adjacent intermediate links 22 are fitted to each other, and one end of the second link 23 is fitted to one end of the intermediate link 22 away from the first link 21. In this way, the support rod 2 is constituted.

[0031] One end of the first link 21 close to the intermediate link 22 is the first insertion end 211, and one end of the intermediate link 22 away from the first link 21 is the second insertion end 221. The outer diameter of the first insertion end 211 matches the inner diameter of one end of the intermediate link 22 away from the second insertion end 221, and the outer diameter of the second insertion end 221 matches the inner diameter of one end of the second link 23 close to the intermediate link 22. The first insertion end 211 is arranged inside one end of the intermediate link 22 away from the second insertion end 221, and the second insertion end 221 close to the second link 23 is arranged inside one end of the second link 23 close to the intermediate link 22. Between two adjacent intermediate links 22, the second insertion end 221 of one intermediate link 22 is arranged at one end of the other intermediate link 22 away from the first link 21. In this way, the first link 21, the second link 23, and the plurality of intermediate links 22 are assembled to form the support rod 2. Specifically, in order to enhance the connection stability between the first link 21 and the intermediate link 22, between two adjacent intermediate links 22, and between the second link 23 and the intermediate link 22, and prevent the support rod 2 from falling off when bent, the length of the first insertion end 211 can occupy at least one-fifth of the length of the first link 21, and the length of the second insertion end 221 can occupy at least one-fifth of the length of the intermediate link 22.

[0032] In actual operation, a first end cover 212 is provided at one end of the first link 21 away from the first insertion end 211. A second end cover 231 is provided at one end of the second link 23 away from the intermediate link 22. A string body 24 is provided between the first end cover 212 and the second end cover 231. The string body 24 is an elastic belt and passes through the first link 21, the second link 23, and the plurality of intermediate links 22. After the first link 21, the second link 23, and the plurality of intermediate links 22 are assembled to form the support rod 2, the string body 24 is stretched, and due to the biasing force when the string body 24 is pulled, the connection stability between the first link 21 and the intermediate link 22, between two adjacent intermediate links 22, and between the second link 23 and the intermediate link 22 can be effectively enhanced.

[0033] In actual operation, as shown in FIG. 1, the sunshade 1 may be square, and the through hole 11 extends from one end of the sunshade 1 to the other end of the sunshade 1. Of course, in other embodiments, the sunshade 1 can also assume an elliptical, circular, triangular, or irregular shape, etc.

[0034] In one embodiment, both the length and width of the sunshade 1 are greater than half the length of the support rod 2. Thereby, when the sunshade 1 is supported by the support rod 2, it can occupy more of the length of the arc-shaped support rod 2, and both ends of the sunshade 1 can be brought as close as possible to both ends of the support rod 2. That is, the sunshade 1 is made to approach the bottom surface as much as possible, and the probability that the sunshade 1 does not move relatively along the support rod 2 when blown by the wind is further increased, improving the installation stability of the outdoor shielding device of this embodiment.

[0035] Also, the ratio of the length to the width of the sunshade 1 is greater than 1.2. The through hole 11 is installed along the long side of the length of the sunshade 1, increasing the supporting force for supporting the sunshade 1 and facilitating the sunshade 1 to flutter in the wind.

[0036] In actual operation, the width of the sunshade 1 is 2.3 m, the length of the sunshade 1 is 3 m, and the length of the support rod 2 is 5.6 m. In one embodiment, the sunshade 1 may have a width of 2.65 m and a length of 5.05 m. The length of the support rod 2 may be 7.85 m, etc. Since the manufacturer can change the size of the sunshade 1, the length of the support rod 2, the radius, etc. based on the size of the shielding space formed by the outdoor shielding device, the size of the sunshade 1 and the length of the support rod 2 are not limited in this embodiment.

[0037] Note that all the directional indications (up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are used only for explaining the relative positional relationship, movement status, etc. between components under a specific posture (as shown in the drawings). When this specific posture changes, the corresponding directional indication also changes accordingly.

[0038] In addition, the descriptions such as "first" and "second" in the present invention are used only for the purpose, and it cannot be understood that they indicate or imply the relative importance or implicitly indicate the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features limited by "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. Furthermore, "and / or" throughout the text includes three schemes taking A and / or B as an example, including the aspects where A, B, and A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Also, the technical proposals between the respective embodiments may be combined with each other, but it must be based on what those skilled in the art can achieve. If a contradiction or inability to be realized occurs in the combination of technical proposals, this combination of technical proposals does not exist and should be considered not within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0039] What has been described above is only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and thus does not limit the scope of the claims of the present invention. Under the concept of the present invention, equivalent structural conversions made with reference to the specification and drawings of the present application, or those directly / indirectly used in other related technical fields, are all included within the protection scope of the present invention.
