DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0025] Hereinafter, the technical solution of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the embodiments as descried are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of normal skill in the art without exercising inventive work fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0026] In the description of the present disclosure, unless otherwise indicated and limited, the terms mount, connect, and connection should be construed broadly. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection or an integral connection; they may refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they may refer to a direct connection or may refer to an indirect connection via an intermediate medium; and they may refer to communication inside two elements. Those of normal skill in the art may construe the specific meanings of the terms in the present disclosure according to specific situations.

[0027] The multi-functional outdoor sun-shading apparatus according to the present disclosure differs from a conventional sun-shading umbrella in the prior art in that:

[0028] 1) the umbrella awning body of the present disclosure adopts a two-layered or multi-layered design, wherein the upper layer is for blocking out direct irradiation of sunlight, while the lower layer is for absorbing an external cool liquid such that the user feels cool and refreshed under the umbrella; 2) the sun-shading apparatus of the present disclosure may be fixedly installed or a non-fixedly placed, which may be used as a sun-shading umbrella or a recreational pavilion as needed; 3) a roof of the sun-shading apparatus is provided with a solar panel to absorb sunlight as an energy source for illuminating or landscaping at night; 4) by further providing adjusting means, the umbrella awning body may not only be subjected to height adjustment in a vertical direction but also may be subjected to angle adjustment in a transverse direction, and thus may be suitable for any irradiation angle in the daytime so as to achieve an optimal sun-shading effect. Hereinafter, the structural details, working principles, and technical effects will be illustrated in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] FIG. 1A is a local sectional structural diagram of a multi-functional outdoor sun-shading umbrella 100 according to a first embodiment of the present utility model, and FIG. 1B is a top view thereof. As shown in FIG. 1A, the multi-functional outdoor sun-shading umbrella 100 according to the first embodiment is preferably placed on an outdoor ground in a non-fixed manner; although it is similar to the conventional sun-shading umbrella shown in FIG. 4 in terms of the overall appearance, their structures differ greatly. Specifically, the multi-functional outdoor sun-shading umbrella 100 according to the first embodiment of the present utility model comprises: a cool liquid-containing base 10 for accommodating a cool liquid and also used as an umbrella base; a hollow water suction tube 11 for suctioning the liquid from the cool liquid-containing base 10; a telescopic prop 12 for adjusting a height of an umbrella awning and having the water suction tube 11 provided therein; a moisture absorbing part 13 as a lower layer of the umbrella awning; a heat blocking part 14 as an upper layer of the umbrella awning; a round solar panel 15 provided at a top of the umbrella awning; a light-emitting part 16 having a pistil-like appearance; an adjusting part 17 for adjusting an inclination angle of the umbrella awning along a transverse direction, and an optical fiber lace line 18 that partially encloses a contour edge of the umbrella awning for landscaping/decoration. It needs to be particularly noted that the moisture absorption part 13 as the lower layer of the umbrella awning and the heat blocking part 14 as the upper layer of the umbrella awning together form an upper-lower two-layered umbrella awning deign, wherein the upper layer adopts a material that may block out direct irradiation of the sunlight and reduce UV radiation, while the lower layer adopts a material such as a moisture absorption cotton which may absorb the cool liquid, the cool liquid reaching the moisture absorption part 13 via the water suction tube 11; because evaporation of the cool liquid will absorb the surrounding heat, the user under the umbrella will be sheltered from the blazing sun and thus feel cool and comfortable. Generally, considering the limited volume of the cool liquid-containing base of the multi-function outdoor sun-shading umbrella 100, the cool liquid is preferably selected to be a liquid substance that has a relatively large specific heat capacity and does no harm to a human body and the environment.

[0030] Additionally, the user may not only adjust the height of the sun-shading umbrella through the telescopic prop 12, but also may adjust the inclination of the sun-shading umbrella through the adjusting part 17 according to the sunlight angle, thereby satisfying the user's demands in different periods of time, i.e., daytime and night. Preferably, the height adjustment scope of the sun-shading umbrella is 24 m or higher, and the inclination adjustment scope is 45 or higher transversely. Further, the solar panel 15 may convert the solar energy into a power source so as to power the light-emitting part 16 and the optical fiber lace line 18, thereby causing them to illuminate at night. As shown in the top view of FIG. 1B, the laminated umbrella awning body, the pistil-like light-emitting part 16, and the decorative optical fiber lace line 18 together form a beautiful flower-shape design, such that the user may appreciate the beautiful appearance of the sun-shading umbrella at both daytime and night. Preferably, a solar fan (not shown) powered by solar energy may be further provided below the multi-functional outdoor umbrella awning 100. The solar fan may not only facilitate air circulation, but also may facilitate evaporation of the cool liquid, such that the user obtains a cooler experience.

[0031] In addition, those skilled in the art may easily understand that the shape of the multi-functional outdoor sun-shading umbrella 100 is not particularly limited, which may assume a round, square, or irregular shape, and its material may be made of fiber, cloth, plastic, metal or any environment-friendly material. The laminated design of the umbrella awning according to the present embodiment is not limited to a two-layered design. A multi-layered design may also be flexibly adopted, as long as it simultaneously has a moisture absorption layer and a sunlight blocking layer. Further, considering that the weight of the umbrella awning in a moisture absorbed state will increase a little, a base of the multi-functional outdoor sun-shading umbrella 100 needs to be fixed using a heavy enough material to maintain balance, so as to prevent an accidental tilting.

[0032] Based on the multi-functional outdoor sun-shading umbrella 100 according to the first embodiment of the present utility model, the multi-functional recreational pavilion 200 as a transformed example of the present disclosure may be achieved through further improvement. FIG. 2A shows a local sectional structural schematic diagram of the multi-functional recreational pavilion 200 according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure; and FIG. 2B is a top view thereof. FIG. 3 is a stereoscopic appearance diagram of the multi-functional recreational pavilion 200 according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0033] In a working state, the multi-functional recreational pavilion 200 as shown in FIG. 2A comprises a pavilion base under the ground and a pavilion body above the ground. The components having the same functions as the multi-functional outdoor sun-shading umbrella 100 shown in FIG. 1A are represented by the same reference numerals, and detailed explanations thereof are thus omitted. In addition, FIG. 2A also omits the adjusting part for adjusting an inclination and the optical fiber lace line for landscaping. It may be seen from FIG. 2A that the multi-functional recreational pavilion 200 is fixedly connected with the ground, and the pavilion base 20 under the ground may accommodate inside a large amount of cooling liquid which is supplied to the moisture absorption part 23 mounted on the upper portion of the pavilion via a water suction pipe 21. Further, it may be seen from the top view shown in FIG. 2B that a leaf-shaped water absorption part 23, a petal-shaped light blocking part 24, a round solar panel 25, and a pistil-shaped light emitting part 26 together form another kind of beautiful flower appearance. In addition, although not shown in the figure, those skilled in the art may contemplate that the pavilion base 20 under the ground may be connected to other liquid source by pipeline or other approaches, such that supply of the cool liquid is not restricted as much as the multi-functional outdoor sun-shading umbrella 100 shown in FIG. 1A. Likewise, a solar fan (not shown) powered by solar energy may be further provided below the multi-functional recreational pavilion 200. The solar fan may not only facilitate air circulation, but also facilitate the user to obtain a cooler experience. In addition, considering that the cool liquid-containing base 20 of the multi-functional recreational pavilion 200 may accommodate or provide a large amount of cool liquid, the cool liquid may be selected as an easily accessible cool water.

[0034] Further, in the actual use state shown in FIG. 3, the multi-functional recreational pavilion 200 as shown in FIG. 2A preferably may be used in conjunction with a plurality of recreational pavilion seats 300, granting the user a better product experience. In an actual application environment, the multi-functional recreational pavilion 200 according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure is preferably disposed at an appropriate location in a residential community as required, which may not only be used at daytime for outdoor recreation, but also may be used at night as an alternative to a road lamp. In particular, it is powered by solar energy to illuminate, wasting no electrical energy.
