Optionally, the transmission mechanism 32 of the lifting device 3 comprises a winding shaft 321 fixedly connected to the driving motor 31, a transmission component 323 for driving the lifting motion of the movable support member 22 relative to the mounting frame 1, and a main wire 322 wound on the winding shaft 321 and connected to the transmission component 323. The winding shaft 321 is rotatably set on the mounting frame 1 and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 31. The driving motor 31 is used to drive the winding shaft 321 to rotate, loosen the main wire 322 wound on the winding shaft 321 or wind the main wire 322 on the winding shaft 321, thereby driving the transmission component 323 connected to the main wire 322. Then, the transmission component 323 is used to drive the movable support member 22 to move up and down relative to the mounting frame 1, to control the unfolding or closing of the sunshade cloth. The use of the driving motor 31 to drive the sunshade makes it more labor-saving for users.
Optionally, the transmission component 323 comprises a sub wire 3231 and a pulley 3232 located on the mounting frame 1 and above the movable support member 22. One end of the sub wire 3231 is connected to the main wire 322, while the other end bypasses the pulley 3232 and is connected to the movable support member 22. The main wire 322 and the movable support member 22 are connected through the sub wire 3231, and the pulley 3232 set above the movable support member 22 is used as the support point. When the driving motor 31 drives the winding shaft 321 to rotate and releases the main wire 322 wrapped on the winding shaft 321, the connection point between the main wire 322 and the sub wire 3231 moves upwards relative to the mounting frame 1. The sub wire 3231 moves relative to the pulley 3232 and causes the movable support member 22 connected to the other end of the sub wire 3231 to slide downwards relative to the mounting frame 1, thereby increasing the distance between the fixed support member 21 and the movable support member 22, and thus closing the sunshade cloth; When the driving motor 31 drives the winding shaft 321 to rotate and winds the main wire 322 onto the winding shaft 321, the connection point between the main wire 322 and the sub wire 3231 moves downwards relative to the mounting frame 1, and the sub wire 3231 moves relative to the pulley 3232, causing the movable support member 22 connected to the other end of the sub wire 3231 to slide upwards relative to the mounting frame 1, thereby reducing the distance between the fixed support member 21 and the movable support member 22, and thus unfolding the sunshade cloth.
Optionally, the number of transmission components 323 is multiple, and the multiple transmission components 323 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the movable support member 22, making the force on the movable support member 22 more uniform when the transmission component 323 pulls the movable support member 22. This ensures that the movable support member 22 moves up and down relative to the mounting frame 1 in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane, which is beneficial for reducing the friction force between the movable support member 22 and the outer wall of the mounting frame 1 during the sliding process, making the sunshade more stable during the unfolding or closing process, which is beneficial for improving the user experience. Optionally, the number of transmission components 323 is two, and the two transmission components 323 are symmetrically set on opposite sides of the mounting frame 1, to ensure that the movable support member 22 is evenly stressed during sliding relative to the mounting frame 1, while effectively controlling the production cost of the sunshade.
Optionally, the transmission mechanism 32 further comprises a splitter 324 for connecting the main wire 322 and the sub wire 3231. The splitter 324 is provided with a through hole for the main wire 322 and the sub wire 3231 to penetrate. The end of the main wire 322 and the end of the sub wire 3231 are both provided with a wiring sleeve 325 that is connected to the splitter 324. By setting a wiring sleeve 325 at the end of the main wire 322 and the end of the sub wire 3231, the main wire 322 and the sub wire 3231 are threaded through the through-hole on the splitter 324, and the wiring sleeve 325 is connected to the splitter 324, thus achieving the transmission of the power output from the driving motor 31 to multiple sub wires 3231 through the main wire 322. By using multiple sub wires 3231 to pull the movable support member 22 relative to the mounting frame 1, the sunshade cloth can be controlled to unfold or close.
Optionally, the transmission mechanism 32 further comprises a buffer component 326 arranged between the wiring sleeve 325 and the splitter 324. The buffer component 326 is used to buffer the impact force when the driving motor 31 starts, which can protect the driving motor 31 and the transmission mechanism 32, and is conducive to extending the service life of the sunshade; Optionally, the buffer component 326 comprises a support plate 3261 that is connected to the wiring sleeve 325 and an elastic member 3262 that is arranged between the splitter 324 and the support plate 3261. The support plate 3261 that is set on the splitter 324 is connected and fixed with the wiring sleeve 325 to prevent the main wire 322 and/or sub wire 3231 from detaching from the separator under external force, and the elastic member 3262 is used to buffer the impact force when the driving motor 31 starts, to protect the driving motor 31 and transmission mechanism 32. Optionally, the elastic element 3262 may be a spring or a shrapnel.

Optionally, the support component 23 of the support mechanism 2 comprises a main support rod 231 fixedly connected to the sunshade cloth and the fixed support member 21, an auxiliary support rod 232 fixedly connected to the movable support member 22, and a connecting bracket 233. The connecting bracket 233 is arranged at the end of the auxiliary support rod 232 away from the movable support member 22, and the connecting bracket 233 is slidably connected to the main support rod 231. When the movable support member 22 is driven by the lifting device 3 to move up and down relative to the mounting frame 1, the auxiliary support rod 232 fixedly connected to the movable support member 22 also moves up and down relative to the mounting frame 1, so that the connecting bracket 233 set at the end of the auxiliary support rod 232 away from the movable support member 22 slides relative to the main support rod 231, and the distance between the movable support member 22 and the fixed support member 21 changes accordingly, thereby achieving the control of the unfolding or closing of the sunshade cloth.
The above is only a preferred embodiment of this embodiment and is not intended to limit this embodiment. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this embodiment shall be included within the scope of protection of this embodiment.
