The practical new model involves a kind of solar parasol, especially a solar parasol with a motion sensor switch for an LED light. The light can be turned on/off by touching LED light's touch switch control section at any spot, or the designated place on the parasol. It is suitable for beaches, courtyards, parks, house & hotel lawn, all field trip and open-air stalls and other outdoor uses.
With the rapid development of tourism, the pole parasol, as an outdoor leisure utensil, is used broadly in squares, beaches, parks, courtyards and other leisure places, which provides people with comfortable leisure & cool-enjoying space.
Currently, on existing solar parasols' poles or ribs, control switches for light are installed. The switch is exposed on the surface and the LED light body on the ribs is in the form of string lights. Such structure leads to complex threading and difficult production. When existing solar parasols are used in strong winds, their ribs will become deformed and even broken easily, because in such parasols the rib and assembled LED string lights are connected by drilling holes. Parasols' main ribs, stretchers, poles and upper and lower hub are connected as a single entity, so when they are opened and used, the above 3 moving connection points are joined into a fixed triangle. Normally, umbrella cloth is directly fixed with the main rib. Winds blowing the umbrella canopy will cause all the wind force on ribs, the strength of which is greatly weakened when holes drilled on ribs are considered. When solar parasols with such structure meet strong winds, their ribs are certain to be damaged.
The present model will solve technical problems based on the above-mentioned technical status and provide a kind of solar parasol with a motion sensor switch whose ribs only need holes drilled on a single side with no switch exposed on the surface.
The model is a solar parasol with motion sensor switch produced by the following scheme. Like all parasols, it includes a canopy and frame; the described solar parasol has a pole, on top of which upper and lower hub are connected with the canopy and frame. On the pole of this parasol an operating mechanism is set for opening and closing the frame and canopy, and such mechanism is connected with another operating mechanism for winding rope. The solar parasol with motion sensor switch is novel as follows: the described poles and operating mechanisms for opening and closing the frame and canopy can be set as a motion sensor touch switch area. On top of the pole, the upper hub is fixed, and such upper hub is connected to the rib, which is then joined with supporting stretcher. One end of this stretcher is connected to the lower hub, which is installed on the pole and can slide up and down along the pole so that the canopy is opened.
The described rib connected to the upper hub can rotate around the upper hub on demand; the described supporting stretcher connected to the rib can rotate around the rib on demand; the described supporting stretcher can be rotated on demand around the lower hub connected to the supporting stretcher; the described lower hub's sliding up and down can open and close parasols; the motion sensor touch switch area on the described solar parasol's pole and closing operating mechanism can be set at the rib, hub and other desired places for convenient use.
Compared with current solar parasols, the present model has the following advantages: 1. compact appearance and being easy to use; 2. simple processing and easy assembly; 3. high strength of ribs and durable parasols. The solar parasol can be widely accepted by users and is worth popularizing; it is suitable for beaches, courtyards, parks, house & hotel lawn, all field trip, open-air stalls and other places.
The following is a detailed description of an embodiment example for the present device with attached diagrams.
As is shown in
On the described upper pole (22) are fixed upper hub (35) and sliding lower hub (34). A tilt mechanism (7) is set in the middle of upper pole (22) and lower pole (21), and a solar system (4) is on fixed upper hub (35). One end of rib (31) supporting the canopy (1) is connected to fixed upper hub (35). One end of supporting stretcher (33), which supports rib (31), is joined to sliding lower hub (34), and the other end is hinge connected to the middle of rib (31). When rib (31), supporting stretcher (33), upper pole (22), lower pole (21) and tilt mechanism (7) are used to open canopy (1), 3 moving connection points are joined into a fixed triangle. Winds blowing the canopy will cause all the wind force on rib (31). If all the wind force is on canopy (1), it must turn outwards. The canopy (1) can make main rib (31) under stress directly, so the strength of ribs will be greatly increased if ribs only have holes drilled on a single side, as shown in
