The development of the technical level of the industry is mainly reflected in new materials, new technology and other aspects.
As a traditional industry providing consumer goods for people's livelihood, the production technology of clear umbrella has experienced a long development process. In the process of the development of clear umbrella from basic functions to FMCG, portability, fashion and other functions, the technical level of the industry has also been comprehensively improved, mainly manifested in:
（1）New materials
The umbrella surface material and umbrella frame material involved in the manufacturing of traditional clear umbrella are light industry and heavy industry products respectively. In recent years, the umbrella cloth material has been innovated, especially the sunshade. There are dozens of kinds of anti-ultraviolet fabrics such as silver adhesive, color ding, pearl adhesive, bump cloth, laser beam, yarn-dyed lattice and polyester interweave.As a typical FMCG, the plastic umbrella fabric has been developed from ordinary PVC material to environmentally friendly POE material.In terms of umbrella frame materials, it ADAPTS to the portable needs of clear umbrella products, and develops from traditional steel bone to aluminum alloy bone, glass fiber bone, carbon fiber bone and even titanium alloy bone.New materials such as carbon fiber, aviation aluminum, TEFLON, silicon-coated cloth, and CORDURA nylon are widely used in high-end clear umbrellas, elevating their functions to a new level.It can be predicted that the application of new materials will further promote the upgrading of clear umbrella products and improve the quality of life of the public.
（2）Product design and development technology
In recent years, clear umbrella products have also made great progress in the structure of the umbrella frame, especially the design of wind protection, even in the strong wind weather, even if it blows over, it is not easy to break the anti-bone design of the umbrella frame and so on.
The design of style, design and color of umbrella cloth and umbrella frame structure also adopts more 3d computer-aided design (CAD). Combining with hand-painted design, the sample manufacturing and trial production process are optimized to make the umbrella products more diversified in appearance, lighter and stronger in structure, more exquisite in packaging and shorter in renewal cycle.
（3）Product manufacturing process
Umbrella industry is a labor-intensive manufacturing industry, especially finished umbrella sewing has long been based on needle and thread manual, the overall degree of mechanization is low.In recent years, computer open cloth cutting machine, high speed single car, computer umbrella cap machine, strapping machine, beads machine, automatic welding machine, automatic forming machine of bone, and a series of system umbrella equipment widely used in system umbrella before, improved the production efficiency of the component, reduces the labor intensity, to a certain extent, represents the level of the world system umbrella industry.
On the whole, the technological innovation of China's umbrella industry has made some progress, and some leading enterprises have accumulated considerable technical strength.However, the industry as a whole still has a large development space in the fields of equipment level, product design innovation ability, new material application, scientific management and so on.
