Definitions

• the present disclosure pertains to the field of outdoor articles, and relates to an outdoor sheltering product, and in particular, to a foldable canopy and a sunshade umbrella.
• a canopy is an outdoor sheltering product commonly used outdoors, and especially, a foldable canopy becomes increasingly popular with consumers.
• An existing foldable canopy includes a plurality of supporting legs as well as a top rod assembly and an eave assembly connected among the plural supporting legs, and each of the top rod assembly and the eave assembly includes a plurality of rotatably connected rod pieces.
• These rod pieces have a large aspect ratio, and are usually long, therefore high strength is required to avoid bending thereof.
• a connecting part of the rod piece is usually required to be provided with a connecting hole for inserting a connecting piece, such as a pivot, which is a primarily stress-bearing part of the rod piece and thus requires enough strength.
• the present disclosure relates to an outdoor sheltering product which can enhance strength of a rod piece on the premise of avoiding an excessive increase in a weight of the rod piece.
• a first aspect of the present disclosure provides an outdoor sheltering product, including a rod assembly, the rod assembly including:
• the "middle portion" of the rod piece means any position between two end portions of the rod piece exclusively, preferably anywhere from 1/5 to 4/5 of a length of the rod piece.
• a component for reinforcing the strength of the first rod includes only the first lining reinforcing member.
• the first lining reinforcing member includes a hollow lining tube or a lining bracket fitted with an inner wall of the first rod.
• the hollow lining tube or the lining bracket abutting contacts and/or is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the first rod.
• the first rod has a first connecting portion
• the rod assembly further includes a second member connected to the first connecting portion
• the lining reinforcing member is located inside the first connecting portion
• the first connecting portion comprises a first connecting hole
• a second connecting hole is arranged on the lining reinforcing member, the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are aligned and communicated
• a connecting pin is arranged on or connected with the second member, and the connecting pin is inserted into the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole.
• the rod assembly has an unfolded state and a folded state, and the first rod and the second member are pivotally connected by the connecting pin.
• the second member comprises a second rod having a second connecting portion, the second connecting portion is connected with the first connecting portion of the first rod, a hollow second inner cavity is arranged in the second rod, a second lining reinforcing member is arranged in the second inner cavity of the second rod, and the second lining reinforcing member is located inside the second connecting portion.
• a component for reinforcing the strength of the second rod includes only the second lining reinforcing member.
• the second lining reinforcing member includes a hollow lining tube or a lining bracket connected or in contact with an inner wall of the second rod.
• the second connecting portion includes a third connecting hole, a second connecting hole is arranged in the second lining reinforcing member in the second rod, the first connecting hole, each second connecting hole, and the third connecting hole are aligned, and the connecting pin is inserted into the first connecting hole, each second connecting hole, and the third connecting hole.
• a size of the second lining reinforcing member in a length direction of the second rod is less than 20% of a length of the second rod, and the second lining reinforcing member is arranged in a region from 1/5 to 4/5 of the length of the second rod.
• the second connecting portion is located in a middle portion of the second rod.
• a size of the lining reinforcing member in a length direction of the first rod is less than 20% of a length of the first rod.
• the first lining reinforcing member is a hollow plastic or metal tube.
• the outdoor sheltering product is a canopy.
• the canopy includes a foldable canopy frame
• the canopy frame includes a plurality of supporting legs, a plurality of eave frames and a top frame, each eave frame is connected between two adjacent supporting legs, the top frame is connected to the plurality of supporting legs, and each eave frame and/or the top frame includes one or more of the rod assemblies.
• the outdoor sheltering product is a sunshade umbrella.
• a rib of the sunshade umbrella includes one or more of the rod assemblies.
• the embodiment provides a rod assembly of an outdoor sheltering product, in particular a folding rod assembly of a foldable outdoor sheltering article.
• the foldable outdoor sheltering article may be a foldable canopy or sunshade umbrella having one or more of the rod assemblies.
• the rod assembly has an unfolded state and a folded state; when the foldable outdoor sheltering article is unfolded, the rod assembly is in the unfolded state; when the foldable outdoor sheltering article is folded, the rod assembly is in the folded state.
