Description

Technical field



[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of sunshades, in particular to a quick opening and closing sunshade.

Background



[0002] Sunshades, as outdoor leisure appliances, are widely used in leisure places such as squares, beaches, parks, and courtyards, providing people with a comfortable cool space. An existing sunshade generally consists of an umbrella pole, an umbrella frame, and umbrella cloth. The umbrella frame is connected to the top of the umbrella pole. The umbrella pole mainly supports the umbrella frame, and the umbrella cloth is connected to the umbrella frame. When the umbrella frame is opened, the umbrella cloth is supported to open accordingly, so that the sunshade is opened. Sunshades need to achieve different shade areas in different occasions. Large sunshades used outdoors are usually large and high, and are generally opened and closed by hand pushing, pulling cord, rocker handle, etc.

[0003] For a conventional rocker handle type sunshade, its rocker handle is arranged on an armrest shell, and the rocker handle will move up along the umbrella column together with the armrest shell during the opening process of a canopy, which makes it extremely inconvenient for those petite people to use the sunshade. Moreover, the umbrella body cannot be fully opened or the umbrella needs to be closed by means of tools, which reduces the practicability of the product.
