Patent Application

This disclosure generally relates to the technical field of sun umbrellas, and more particularly, to a straight-pole sun umbrella hand-cranking structure.
Conventional standing-pole sun umbrellas typically comprise a hand-cranking structure whose shell is arranged on the periphery of a standing pole, and a driving gear arranged within the standing pole. A hand crank sequentially passes through the front shell of the hand-cranking structure, the standing pole, and the gear until being connected to the rear shell of the hand-cranking structure. An anti-slip mechanism achieves a two-way anti-slipping through the interaction among an elastic piece, a compression spring and the gear. However, the aforesaid structure may get worn after being used for more than 50 times, and the umbrella rope may be loosened to close the umbrella. Moreover, all parts need to be assembled within the standing pole, which makes the assembly time-consuming.
The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a straight-pole sun umbrella hand-cranking structure.
To achieve the above purpose, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solution: a straight-pole sun umbrella hand-cranking structure comprising a standing pole and a shell fixed on the standing pole, wherein the shell comprises a first outer shell and a second outer shell, which is in a snap-fit with the first outer shell, wherein the shell is integrally fixed with one side of the standing pole, and a gear is arranged within the first outer shell and the second outer shell, wherein a cranking shaft passes through the gear and is connected to an anti-slip mechanism, and a cranking handle is externally connected to the cranking shaft, wherein the anti-slip mechanism is arranged in an inner cavity of the first outer shell, and the anti-slip mechanism comprises a torsion spring, wherein the torsion spring is sleeved on the end portion of the cranking shaft, and the outer surface of the torsion spring is in contact with the inner cavity of the first outer shell.
In another aspect of the present disclosure, a telescopic rod is arranged in the standing pole, an inner sliding sleeve is arranged at the bottom of the telescopic rod, and a rack is fixedly arranged between one side of the telescopic rod and the inner wall of the standing pole. An opening is formed in the standing pole for receiving the gear, and the gear is assembled into the opening such that it is meshed with the rack.
In another aspect of the present disclosure, the top portion of the standing pole is fixedly provided with a middle umbrella disc, the top portion of the telescopic rod is fixedly provided with an upper umbrella disc, and the standing pole is slidably sleeved with a lower umbrella disc.
In another aspect of the present disclosure, a fixing block is arranged at the end portion of the rack, and a gear support is arranged between the gear and the cranking shaft. A copper sleeve is arranged on the gear support, and a pressing sleeve is arranged outside the copper sleeve.
In another aspect of the present disclosure, the gear support and the torsion spring abut against and interact with each other.
Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the following advantages: the aforesaid structure is integrally assembled on one side surface, making the assembly of the shell convenient; the torsion spring is arranged at the tail end of the cranking shaft such that the anti-slip performance is improved by the elastic force of the spring; as the aforesaid structure is protected against abrasion, its functional life is significantly prolonged.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
In the Figures: 1—Standing Pole, 2—Telescopic Rod, 3—Opening, 4a—First Outer Shell, 4b-Second Outer Shell, 5—Gear, 6—Cranking Shaft, 7—Gear Support, 8—Pressing Sleeve, 9—Copper Sleeve, 10—Torsion Spring, 11—Rack, 12—Telescopic Rod Inner Sliding Sleeve, 13—Fixing Block, 14—Cranking Handle.
Figures are combined hereinafter to further elaborate the technical solution of the present disclosure.
A straight-pole sun umbrella hand-cranking structure comprises a standing pole 1 and a shell fixed on the standing pole 1, wherein the shell comprises a first outer shell 4a and a second outer shell 4b, which is in a snap-fit with the first outer shell 4a. The shell is integrally fixed with one side of the standing pole 1, and a gear 5 is arranged within the first outer shell 4a and the second outer shell 4b. A cranking shaft 6 passes through the gear 5 and is connected to an anti-slip mechanism. A cranking handle 14 is externally connected to the cranking shaft 6. The anti-slip mechanism is arranged in an inner cavity of the first outer shell 4a. The anti-slip mechanism comprises a torsion spring 10, wherein the torsion spring 10 is sleeved on the end portion of the cranking shaft 6, and the outer surface of the torsion spring 10 is in contact with the inner cavity of the first outer shell 4a. A telescopic rod 2 is arranged in the standing pole 1, an inner sliding sleeve is arranged at the bottom of the telescopic rod 2, and a rack 11 is fixedly arranged between one side of the telescopic rod 2 and the inner wall of the standing pole 1. An opening 3 is formed in the standing pole 1 for receiving the gear 5, and the gear 5 is assembled into the opening 3 such that it is meshed with the rack 11. To enable the gear 5 to better rotate along with the cranking shaft 6, a gear support 7 is arranged between the gear 5 and the cranking shaft 6. A copper sleeve 9 is arranged on the gear support 7, and a pressing sleeve 8 is arranged outside the copper sleeve 9. The gear support 7 and the torsion spring 10 abuts against each other, thereby preventing the torsion spring 10 from coming out such that an ideal anti-slipping performance is achieved. A fixing block 13 is arranged at the end portion of the rack 11, which ensures the telescopic rod 2 is propelled to move when the rack 11 moves. The top portion of the standing pole 1 is fixedly provided with a middle umbrella disc, the top portion of the telescopic rod 2 is fixedly provided with an upper umbrella disc, and the standing pole 1 is slidably sleeved with a lower umbrella disc. Through the movement of the telescopic rod 2, the sun umbrella may be opened and closed.
The structure of the aforesaid embodiment is only an explanation but not a limitation of the present disclosure. After reading the specification of the present disclosure, those skilled in the art may make modifications without paying creative labor. Thus, these modifications shall fall into the scope of the present disclosure.
