Abstract

A sunshade mounting mechanism comprises a first connecting sleeve ( 3 ); a second connecting sleeve ( 4 ) disposed on the top of the bearing rod ( 2 ); a pin shaft ( 5 ); the first connecting sleeve ( 3 ) is rotatably connected to the second connecting sleeve ( 4 ) through the pin shaft ( 5 ), and a center line of rotation of the first connecting sleeve ( 3 ) intersects with the transverse direction of the main rod ( 11 ); the bearing rod ( 2 ) has a first through hole ( 20 ) for allowing the pin shaft ( 5 ) to pass through. In this mounting mechanism, the mounting angle and position of the main rod relative to the bearing rod can be freely adjusted. The pin shaft is allowed to pass through the periphery of the top of the bearing rod on the basis of connecting the first connecting sleeve and the second connecting sleeve. In this way, the connection of the three components, i.e., the first connecting sleeve, the second connecting sleeve and the bearing rod can be achieved by only one pin shaft. The mounting mechanism is simplified, the connection strength can be greatly increased, and the service life is greatly prolonged.

Claims (19)

1. A sunshade mounting mechanism, the sunshade comprising a vertical bearing rod ( 2 ) having a top and a transverse main rod ( 11 ), the mounting mechanism for connecting the bearing rod ( 2 ) and the main rod ( 11 ) comprising:

a first connecting sleeve ( 3 ) disposed out of the main rod ( 11 );

a second connecting sleeve ( 4 ) disposed on the top of the bearing rod ( 2 );

a pin shaft ( 5 );

wherein,

the bearing rod ( 2 ) has a first through hole ( 20 ) for allowing the pin shaft ( 5 ) to pass through;

the first connecting sleeve ( 3 ) is rotatably connected to the second connecting sleeve ( 4 ) through the pin shaft ( 5 ), and a center line of rotation of the first connecting sleeve ( 3 ) intersects with the transverse direction of the main rod ( 11 ).

2. The sunshade mounting mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the first connecting sleeve ( 3 ) has two connecting arms ( 31 ) extended downward respectively from one of the two sides of the first connecting sleeve ( 3 ), and each connecting arm ( 31 ) has a second through hole ( 30 ) for allowing the pin shaft ( 5 ) to pass through;

a top of the bearing rod ( 2 ) and the second connecting sleeve ( 4 ) sleeved outside the top of the bearing rod ( 2 ) are located between the two connecting arms ( 31 );

the pin shaft ( 5 ) passes through the connecting arms ( 31 ) of the first connecting sleeve ( 3 ), the second connecting sleeve ( 4 ) and the bearing rod ( 2 ), so as to make the first connecting sleeve ( 3 ) rotatable around the pin shaft ( 5 ) relative to the bearing rod ( 2 ) and the second connecting sleeve ( 4 ).

3. The sunshade mounting mechanism of claim 2 , wherein the bearing rod ( 2 ) has an opening at the top of the bearing rod ( 2 ), the second connecting sleeve ( 4 ) comprises a first sleeve ( 41 ) covering the opening at the top of the bearing rod ( 2 ), and the first sleeve ( 41 ) has a third through hole ( 40 ) corresponding to the first through hole ( 20 ) for allowing the pin shaft ( 5 ) to pass through.

4. The sunshade mounting mechanism of claim 3 , wherein the second connecting sleeve ( 4 ) further comprises a second sleeve ( 42 ) connected to and located below the first sleeve ( 41 );

the periphery of the second sleeve ( 42 ) is at least partially protruded outward to form a plurality of steps ( 43 ) for supporting the bottom of each connecting arm ( 31 ).

5. The sunshade mounting mechanism of claim 4 , wherein each connecting arm ( 31 ) has a plurality of reinforcing ribs ( 311 ) formed on the surface of each connecting arm ( 31 ).

6. The sunshade mounting mechanism of claim 5 , wherein a locking member ( 6 ) is disposed on the main rod ( 11 ), and the locking member ( 6 ) comprises a buckle ( 61 ) for preventing the first connecting sleeve ( 3 ) from moving relative to the main rod ( 11 );

the first connecting sleeve ( 3 ) adjacent to the locking member ( 6 ), and the first connecting sleeve ( 3 ) has a limiting groove ( 32 ) for allowing the buckle ( 61 ) to be locked inside located on the surface of the first connecting sleeve ( 3 ).

7. The sunshade mounting mechanism of claim 6 , wherein the locking member ( 6 ) further comprises an elastic member and a positioning ring ( 62 ) sleeved on the main rod ( 11 );

a middle portion of the buckle ( 61 ) is rotatably connected to a periphery of the positioning ring ( 62 ), the buckle ( 61 ) is able to rotate around the middle portion of the buckle ( 61 ), and the rotation axis of the buckle ( 61 ) is parallel to the pin shaft ( 5 ), so that two ends of the buckle ( 61 ) are able to swing up and down relative to the main rod ( 11 );

the buckle ( 61 ) has a tooth portion ( 611 ) extending downward adjacent to the first connecting sleeve ( 3 ), the elastic member acts on the buckle ( 61 ) to keep the tooth portion ( 611 ) clamped tightly upon the limiting groove ( 32 ).
