[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of umbrella frames, and in particular to a three-fold, ultra-lightweight, ultra-thin frame made entirely of carbon fiber. [Background technology]

[0002] The all-carbon fiber three-fold ultra-lightweight and ultra-thin umbrella frame is an umbrella frame structure made entirely of carbon fiber material, has a three-fold folding design, and is characterized by being ultra-lightweight and ultra-thin. Compared to traditional metal materials, all-carbon fiber materials are lighter but can provide high strength and rigidity.

[0003] Conventional all-carbon fiber tri-fold umbrella frames lack auxiliary lighting structures, making it necessary to improve safety when used in dark conditions. Furthermore, the overall weight of the carbon fiber frame is light, and there is no removable counterweight structure, making it necessary to improve the wind resistance and stability of the entire umbrella.

[0004] Therefore, the all-carbon fiber tri-fold umbrella frame does not have an auxiliary lighting structure, the overall weight of the carbon fiber is light, and there is no removable counterweight structure, so the above problems need to be solved urgently to improve usage scenarios.

[Effects of the Invention]

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The provided lighting assembly provides auxiliary lighting, improving safety when used in dark conditions, and the provided removable counterweight assembly improves the wind resistance and stability of the entire umbrella, thereby solving the problem that the general all-carbon fiber tri-fold umbrella frame does not have an auxiliary lighting structure, which needs to improve safety when used in dark conditions, and the overall carbon fiber frame is light in weight, so there is no removable counterweight structure, which needs to improve the wind resistance and stability of the entire umbrella. 2. A fixed bar is connected to the upper side of the fourth rib, and a mini light bar is installed on the outside of the fixed bar. When the mini light bar is powered, it provides lighting and improves safety in dark conditions. A screw connection head is installed at the top of the fourth rib, and a threaded sleeve is connected to the top of the screw connection head. A counterweight block is installed at the top of the threaded sleeve. In windy weather, the stability of the fourth rib near the outer end is extremely important, and the counterweight block can improve the wind resistance and stability of the entire umbrella. When the wind force is not strong, the counterweight block and threaded sleeve can be removed by rotating it, making it more flexible to use. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
