The invention discloses a straight rib type automatic opening and closing umbrella rib structure which comprises a middle rod, a lower 
nest, a double-layer integrated upper 
nest, an umbrella rib support, a 
pulley assembly and an umbrella 
handle control 
assembly, wherein the double-layer integrated upper 
nest is formed by combining an upper layer nest and a lower layer nest; the umbrella rib support is composed of a plurality of umbrella skeletons; the umbrella

pulley assembly comprises a 
pulley, a pulley base and a pull wire. According to the straight rib type automatic opening and closing umbrella rib structure, through the arrangement of the upper nest, the umbrellaribstructure and the pulley assembly, when the umbrella is used, the lower nest drives the supporting ribs to pull the umbrella closing spring, and the foldable 
short ribs formed by combining the inner 
short ribs and the outer 
short ribs are linked, so that the purpose of effectively shortening the moving 
stroke of the lower nest when the umbrella is opened and closed is achieved; the umbrella 
handle key device can be set conveniently, and a 
solid foundation is laid for realizing automatic umbrella opening and closing; and the straight rib type automatic opening and closing umbrella rib structure has the characteristics of stable structure, convenience in opening and closing, quickness in opening and closing, safety and convenience and the like.
