DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] Figures are combined hereinafter to further elaborate the technical solution of the present disclosure.

[0017] As shown in Figures 1-5, a sun umbrella capable of emitting light in all directions comprises an umbrella rod 1 made of a light-transmitting glass fiber tube material and an umbrella disc internally provided with circuit boards. The umbrella rod 1 is connected to an opening-and-closing device 15, and is internally provided with a light strip. The opening-and-closing device comprises a plurality of light-transmitting tubes also made of a light-transmitting glass fiber tube material, which are directly used as the umbrella ribs. Each light-transmitting tube is internally provided with a light strip, and the light strip is connected to a circuit board through an arranged circuit. The circuit boards are electrically connected to the power supply 2 through the arranged circuit, and the light emission of the light strips in the umbrella rod and the light-transmitting tubes is controlled through controlling the power supply.

[0018] The light strip is formed by directly serially connecting a plurality of copper-wire lights 11 using an electric wire 12, and the light strip is integrally formed. The tail end of the electric wire 12 is connected to a connecting block 13 for conveniently connecting a circuit board, which achieves a plug-and-play function and an easy assembly. The umbrella rod 1 is internally provided with a third light strip 3. Generally, the umbrella disc comprises an upper umbrella disc fixed on the umbrella rod and a lower umbrella disc slidably fixed on the umbrella rod. A first circuit board 8 and a second circuit board 6 are respectively fixedly assembled in the upper umbrella disc and the lower umbrella disc. The light-transmitting tubes comprise a first light-transmitting tube 9 and a second light-transmitting tube 10 which are hinged through a hinge member 14. The first light-transmitting tube 9 and the second light-transmitting tube 10 are respectively internally provided with a first light strip 7 and a second light strip 4. The connecting blocks 13 of the first light strip 7 and the third light strip 3 are electrically connected to the first circuit board 8, and the connecting block 13 of the second light strip is electrically connected to the second circuit board 6.

[0019] The power supply 2 is provided with a detachable storage battery 21, and is fixed on the umbrella rod. A control switch is arranged on the power supply, the storage battery is provided with a USB charging port 22, and the power supply is electrically connected to the first circuit board. As the second circuit board 6 slides on the umbrella rod along with the lower umbrella disc, when the power supply and the second circuit board are connected, a wire with a certain length must be reserved, resulting in an inconvenient wire arrangement. Additionally, after closing the umbrella using the lower umbrella disc for a prolonged period, the wire may be damaged. Therefore, in another preferred embodiment, the power supply is directly electrically connected to the first circuit board 8, and the second circuit board 6 is electrically connected to the first circuit board 8 through a wire 5. One end of the wire 5 is connected to the first circuit board, and the other end of the wire 5 is connected to the second circuit board after passing the first light-transmitting tube, the hinge member and the second light-transmitting tube. In this way, a reasonable arrangement and a simple assembly are achieved.

[0020] One end of the first light-transmitting tube is hinged to the upper umbrella disc, and the other end of the first light-transmitting tube is connected to the umbrella cloth for supporting the umbrella cloth. One end of the second light-transmitting tube is hinged to the first light-transmitting tube through the hinge member 23, and the other end of the second light-transmitting tube is hinged to the lower umbrella disc. Namely, the conventional long umbrella rib and the short umbrella rib are replaced by the first light-transmitting tube and the second light-transmitting tube, which achieves a direct light transmission, avoids the slotting process, and makes the umbrella aesthetically pleasing.

[0021] The power supply may be replaced by a solar panel, which may be installed on the top of the umbrella. The lighting mode may be turning on the first light-transmitting tube or turning on the second light-transmitting tube, which is determined according to users' needs.

[0022] The above embodiments are merely used for describing the present disclosure but not limiting the scope of the present disclosure. It should be noted that, based on the specification of the present disclosure, various improvements and modifications may be made according to actual needs by those skilled in the art without paying creative labor. Therefore, these improvements and modifications shall also fall into the scope of the present disclosure.
