An intelligent shading object comprises a base assembly and an umbrella support assembly. The umbrella support assembly is coupled to the base assembly and comprises a first processor and a first motor assembly. The first motor assembly rotates an umbrella support assembly about a vertical axis in response to commands and/or signals generated by the first processor. The umbrella assembly further comprises a stem assembly and a center support assembly, where the center support assembly further comprises a second processor, a second motor assembly, a lower assembly, an upper assembly, and a hinging assembly. The second processor communicates signals and/or commands to the second motor assembly and the second motor assembly drives the upper assembly to rotate with respect to the lower assembly via the hinging assembly.

A modular umbrella shading system includes a base module, a core module assembly and a first extension assembly, the first extension assembly connecting the base unit to the core umbrella assembly. A modular umbrella shading system further includes an arm expansion sensor module and a second extension assembly, the second extension assembly detachably connecting the core umbrella assembly to the arm expansion sensor module.

Disclosed are an umbrella pole device, an electric umbrella and a telescopic device. The umbrella pole device includes an umbrella head, a middle rod, and an umbrella pole transmission assembly. The middle rod includes a plurality of casings, the casing in an innermost part of the middle rod is an inner casing, the casing in an outermost part of the middle rod is an outer casing, and one end of the inner casing is connected to the umbrella head. The umbrella pole transmission assembly is arranged in the inner casing, including a first transmission tube and a second transmission tube. The first transmission tube is telescopically sleeved with the second transmission tube. One end of the transmission tube is rotatably connected to the umbrella head, and one of the first transmission tube and the second transmission tube is a rectangular spring.

The present invention relates to a linear umbrella, comprising a central rod, a top cover, an umbrella hub and umbrella ribs connected to the top cover and umbrella hub, further comprising: a deployment rope fixed to the umbrella hub so as to pull the umbrella hub towards the top cover to deploy the umbrella; a folding rope fixed to the umbrella hub so as to pull the umbrella hub downwards to the lower part of the central rod to fold the umbrella; a releaser disposed at a side of the lower part of the central rod and fixing end parts of the deployment rope and folding rope to allow for mutual release and retraction the deployment rope and folding rope upon rotation; and a tension component to keep the deployment rope and folding rope in tension during the release and retraction.

A motorized telescopic umbrella attachment device for opening and closing based on readings from a wind pressure sensor includes a base. The base has an interior that holds a variety of elements including a battery, a charge port, a microprocessor, a Bluetooth receiver, and a speaker. Furthermore, the interior has a gear drive and a motor. A rack of a clamp is in mechanical communication with the gear drive whereby the motion of the gear drive moves the clamp. The clamp attaches to a vehicle tailgate. A shaft extends out when the gear drive is in motion. A pole is nested within the shaft. A canopy is at an end of the pole. A plurality of telescopic arms helps to extend the canopy to an open position when the shaft extends out. The shaft has a sensor to retract when the wind expels high pressure.

An intelligent shading object comprises a base assembly and an umbrella support assembly. The umbrella support assembly is coupled to the base assembly and comprises a first processor and a first motor assembly. The first motor assembly rotates an umbrella support assembly about a vertical axis in response to commands and/or signals generated by the first processor. The umbrella assembly further comprises a stem assembly and a center support assembly, where the center support assembly further comprises a second processor, a second motor assembly, a lower assembly, an upper assembly, and a hinging assembly. The second processor communicates signals and/or commands to the second motor assembly and the second motor assembly drives the upper assembly to rotate with respect to the lower assembly via the hinging assembly.

An umbrella may be provided including a hub, a plurality of arms, a plurality of stretchers, a plurality of ribs, a runner, and a motor. Each of the plurality of stretchers is coupled to the hub at one of a plurality of first joints. Each of the plurality of stretchers is coupled to one of the plurality of arms. Each of the plurality of ribs extends outwardly from one of the plurality of arms. Each of the plurality of the arms is more rigid than each of the plurality of ribs. The runner is moveable from a first position to a second position. Each of the stretchers is coupled to the runner at one of the plurality of second joints. The motor is coupled to the runner. The motor is adapted to move the runner from the first position to the second position.

An intelligent shading object includes a base assembly, a support assembly coupled to the base assembly, a telescoping support rod housing coupled to the support assembly, a plurality of telescoping rods housed in the telescoping support housing, and a shading element, the shading element coupled to the plurality of telescoping rods. The intelligent shading object may include one or more photo cells installed on the shading element. The intelligent shading object may include comprising one or more light sensors installed on the shading element.

A shading object includes a base unit, one or more support units coupled to the base unit, a louver system coupled to the one or more support units, and a plurality of shading elements coupled to the one or more support units and the louver system. The one or more support units are positioned next to each other when the shading object is in a closed position. The plurality of shading elements are folded when the shading object is in a closed position. The one or more support units are moved apart from each other when the shading object is in an open position. The louver system adjusts a horizontal and/or a vertical orientation of at least one of the plurality of shading elements. The base unit further includes one or more weight compartments to provide stability to the shading object.
