[0016] FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a connecting structure of a lifting block and pull rods of the present invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0017] The present invention is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] As shown in figures, a manually adjustable movable base for an outdoor umbrella includes a base assembly, a threaded rod 2 rotatably fitted with the base assembly, a cranking rod 3 in transmission fit with the threaded rod 2 and used for driving the threaded rod 2 to rotate, a plurality of pull rods 5 rotatably fitted with the base assembly, and a plurality of bottom wheels 6 arranged on the base assembly and in corresponding fit with the pull rods 5. A lower end of the threaded rod 2 is in threaded connection with a lifting block 7, and the lifting block 7 is fitted with and connected to the pull rods 5.

[0019] The number of the pull rods 5 and the bottom wheels 6 each are four. The four bottom wheels 6 are respectively located at four corners of the base assembly, and the four pull rods 5 form an X-shaped structure. The outer ends of the pull rods 5 are inclined upwards with respect to the inner ends of the pull rods, and the outer ends of the pull rods 5 are used for mounting the bottom wheels 6 in a well-known way, and the inner ends of the pull rods 5 are in fit with the pull rods 5. Accordingly, the base assembly includes a rectangular base outer frame 8, four bottom wheel enclosure frames 9 respectively and fixedly connected to four corners of the base outer frame 8, and four pull rod mounting frames 10 respectively and fixedly connected to the bottom wheel enclosure frames 9. The inner ends of all the pull rod mounting frames 10 are in fixed fit to form a center portion 1000 for rotatably mounting the threaded rod 2. A mounting base 1 is fixed to and fitted with the center portion 1000, and the mounting base 1 is used for mounting an upright pole of the outdoor umbrella. The inner ends of the pull rod mounting frames 10 are in fixed fit with the mounting base 1. The pull rods 5 are respectively arranged at the lower ends of the pull rod mounting frames 10, the outer ends of the pull rods 5 are rotatably fitted with the pull rod mounting frames 10, and the bottom wheels 6 are respectively located in the bottom wheel enclosure frames 9.

[0020] A connecting structure of the lifting block 7 and each pull rod 5 is described as follows. The periphery of the lifting block 7 is in insertion fit with the inner end of each pull rod 5 in a one-to-one correspond ace manner, a clearance is formed between the fitting portion of the lifting block and each pull rod 5, so that the lifting block 7 and the pull rod 5 are relatively rotatable. The outer end of the pull rod 5 is mounted at and fitted with the bottom wheel 6. Specifically, the periphery of the lifting block 7 is provided with four inserting blocks 700, the inner ends of the pull rods 5 are provided with slots 500, each of the inserting blocks 700 is inserted into a corresponding one of the slots 500, and an adequate clearance is provided between each inserting block 700 and the corresponding one of the slots 500.

[0021] The cranking rod 3 is rotatably fitted with one of the pull rod mounting frames 10, or can be rotatably mounted at other proper portions. The cranking rod 3 is in transmission fit with the threaded rod 2 by means of a chain mechanism 11, and the chain mechanism 11 is a well-known technology. In addition, the transmission fit of the cranking rod and the threaded rod may be achieved by means of a gear, a belt pulley and other mechanisms. An upper end of the cranking rod 3 is further provided with a rotating handle 4 facilitating the operation of a person.

[0022] During operating, the cranking rod 3 is rotated, the cranking rod 3 then drives the threaded rod 2 to rotate by means of the chain mechanism 11, the threaded rod 2 drives the lifting block 7 to move downwards, the lifting block 7 drives the pull rods 5 to rotate in a direction that the outer ends moves upwards and the inner ends moves downwards, the outer ends of the pull rods 5 drive the bottom wheels 6 to respectively retreat into the bottom wheel enclosure frames 9. Therefore, the base can remain stable on the ground and is not easy to slide. Similarly, when the cranking rod 3 is rotated towards an opposite direction, the outer ends of the pull rods 5 drive the bottom wheels 6 to respectively extend out from the bottom wheel enclosure frames 9, and the base can be moved at the moment.

[0023] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than limiting the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it should be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that it is still possible to modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or to equivalently replace some or all of technical features, and that these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
