Lighting umbrella
A lighting umbrella having a main body, a lighting device and a reflector; the lighting device and the reflector both cooperate with an upper part of the main body and are both provided at an inner side of the canopy of the main body; the reflector reflects light emitted by the lighting device to an area under the main body. It effectively increases the lighting area of the road surface, so that it is easier for users to check road conditions in an environment without sufficient light. It can also prevent the light emitted by the lighting device from causing discomfort to the eyes of the people facing thereto.
The present invention relates to the field of umbrellas and more particularly pertains to a lighting umbrella.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONUmbrella is a daily necessity when people go out, and is mainly used for sun shading and keeping out the rain. Umbrellas in the prior art are relatively unitary in terms of functionality without other auxiliary functions, and can no longer meet consumers' daily needs. As existing umbrellas do not have lighting function, when holding an umbrella and walking in a relatively dim environment with insufficient light (such as at night), the visibility is poor and the position of the umbrella user is not obvious, which may easily cause accidents.
In view of the above, some researchers provide lighting umbrellas with lighting function. However, the lighting device on existing lighting umbrellas is generally arranged on the umbrella handle, so that the light emitted by the lighting device is easily interfered by the user's hand; besides, the lighting device is far away from the ground, so that the lighting device can only illuminate a small area on the ground. It is difficult for the user to check road conditions, and it is not convenient for people to see things under the umbrella. Furthermore, the light emitted by the lighting device of existing lighting umbrellas is also too dazzling for pedestrians and vehicle drivers, which may easily cause accidents.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention provides a lighting umbrella which allows users to see the road condition in an environment with insufficient light.
To attain this, the technical solution is as follows:
A lighting umbrella comprising a main body, a lighting device and a reflector; the main body comprises a shaft, a top notch fixed on an upper end of the shaft, a runner movably arranged on the shaft, a rib assembly hingedly connected with the top notch and the runner, and a canopy provided at an upper side of the rib assembly and connected with the top notch and the rib assembly; the lighting device and the reflector both cooperate with an upper part of the main body and are both provided at an inner side of the canopy; the reflector corresponds to a light-emitting direction of the lighting device so as to reflect light emitted by the lighting device to an area under the main body.
The reflector is of a deformable structure.
The reflector is in form of an anti-abrasion cloth held between the canopy and the top notch; the anti-abrasion cloth; the anti-abrasion cloth is in form of a reflective cloth.
The reflector is positioned at a lateral side of the lighting device.
The reflector is connected to the canopy and/or the rib assembly.
The lighting device cooperates with the shaft and is provided between the top notch and the runner.
The lighting device cooperates with the top notch.
The lighting device cooperates with ribs of the rib assembly.
The reflector covers the lighting device.
The main body further comprises a handle fixed at a lower end of the shaft; a lighting switch is installed at the handle to control operation of the lighting device.
The handle comprises a battery to supply power to the lighting device.
With the present invention, the lighting device cooperates with the upper part of the main body and is provided at the inner side of the canopy, so that the lighting device is at a high position and is not easily interfered by user's hands, and thereby directly increasing the lighting area of the road surface as illuminated by the lighting device. The reflector reflects the light emitted by the lighting device to the area under the main body, such that the light emitted is better utilized to improve the lighting area and lighting brightness of the road surface. In view of the above, the present invention effectively improves the lighting area and lighting brightness of the road surface by means of the lighting device and the reflector, so that it is easier to check road conditions in an environment without sufficient light. Furthermore, the lighting device of the present invention cooperates with the upper part of the main body and is provided at the inner side of the canopy, so that it is easier to see things under the umbrella through the light emitted by the lighting device when ambient light is insufficient.
In addition, the canopy and the reflector of the present invention effectively reduce the intensity of the light emitted by the lighting device in the horizontal direction to the exterior of the main body, thereby preventing the light emitted by the lighting device from causing discomfort to the eyes of the people facing thereto.
As shown in
In the present invention, the lighting device 2 cooperates with the upper part of the main body 1 and is provided at the inner side of the canopy 15, so that the lighting device 2 is at a high position and is not easily interfered by user's hands, and thereby directly increasing the lighting area of the road surface as illuminated by the lighting device 2. The reflector 3 reflects the light emitted by the lighting device 2 to the area under the main body 1, such that the light emitted is better utilized to improve the lighting area and lighting brightness of the road surface. In view of the above, the present invention effectively improves the lighting area and lighting brightness of the road surface by means of the lighting device 2 and the reflector 3, so that it is easier for users to check road conditions in an environment without sufficient light. Furthermore, the lighting device 2 of the present invention cooperates with the upper part of the main body 1 and is provided at the inner side of the canopy 15, so that it is easier to see things under the umbrella through the light emitted by the lighting device 2 when ambient light is insufficient. In addition, the canopy 15 and the reflector 3 of the present invention effectively reduce the intensity of the light emitted by the lighting device 2 in the horizontal direction to the exterior of the main body 1, thereby preventing the light emitted by the lighting device 2 from causing discomfort to the eyes of the people facing thereto.
In the present invention, the reflector 3 is of a deformable structure, so that the reflector 3 can be deformed when the main body 1 is opened and does not interfere with folding and unfolding of the main body 1. The reflector 3 may be in form of a reflective cloth, a reflective sheet (such as PET reflective sheet), or a reflective film. The reflector 3 is preferably in form of a reflective cloth, as reflective cloth easily cooperates with the main body 1 and does not interfere with folding and unfolding of the main body 1.

It should be noted that the lighting device 2 of the present invention may be installed at various installation positions, as long as the installation positions of the lighting device 2 are at the upper part of the main body 1 and at the inner side of the canopy 15, and the lighting device 2 does not interfere with folding and unfolding of the main body 1. The reflector 3 may also be installed at various installation positions, as long as the installation positions of the reflector 3 are at the upper part of the main body 1 and at the inner side of the canopy 15, and the reflector 3 is able to reflect the light emitted by the lighting device 2 to the area under the main body 1.
The above mentioned embodiments and the accompanying drawings do not limit the form and style of the product of the present invention, and any appropriate changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art should not be considered as departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
