[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments, and can be appropriately modified and implemented without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.

[0011] [First embodiment] First, the configuration of a multi-unit carport 100 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 4. The multi-unit carport 100 may be read as a "multi-unit structure." As shown in Figure 1, the multi-unit carport 100 of this embodiment includes three carports 40 and two roof connecting portions 90.

[0012] Hereinafter, the two directions that are perpendicular to each other in a horizontal plane are referred to as the "X direction" and the "Y direction." The "Y direction" may be read as the "connection direction," and the "X direction" may be read as the "side length direction." In addition, below, one side of the X direction is referred to as the "X- side," and the opposite side is referred to as the "X+ side." In addition, one side of the Y direction is referred to as the "Y- side," and the opposite side is referred to as the "Y+ side." The "Y- side" may be read as the "first side," and the "Y+ side" may be read as the "second side."

[0013] The three carports 40 are installed side by side in the Y direction. Each carport 40 has roof bodies 30a, 30b, and 30c. Hereinafter, the roof body 30a of the carport 40 closest to the Y- side will be referred to as the "first roof body 30a," the roof body 30b of the middle carport 40 will be referred to as the "second roof body 30b," and the roof body 30c of the carport 40 closest to the Y+ side will be referred to as the "third roof body 30c."

[0014] Each roof body 30a, 30b, 30c extends in the X direction and the Y direction. Specifically, each roof body 30a, 30b, 30c includes an X+ end frame material 32, a plurality of intermediate members 33, and an X- end frame material 34. The X+ end frame material 32, the plurality of intermediate members 33, and the X- end frame material 34 each extend in the Y direction. The X+ end frame material 32 is provided at the end of the X+ side of the roof body 30a, 30b, 30c. The X- end frame material 34 is provided at the end of the X- side of the roof body 30a, 30b, 30c. The plurality of intermediate members 33 are arranged in parallel in the X direction between the X+ end frame material 32 and the X- end frame material 34.

[0015] Each carport 40 further includes two supports 20. In each carport 40, the two supports 20 are arranged side by side with a gap in the Y direction. Each support 20 includes two columns 22 arranged side by side with a gap in the X direction, and a beam 25 connecting the upper ends of the two columns 22. Each beam 25 supports the roof members 30a, 30b, and 30c from above. A downlight DL that illuminates downward and a cable PC that supplies power to the downlight DL are installed on each of the roof members 30a, 30b, and 30c.

[0016] As shown in Fig. 2, the two roof connecting parts 90 consist of a Y-side roof connecting part 90 and a Y+side roof connecting part 90. The Y-side roof connecting part 90 is installed between the first roof body 30a and the second roof body 30b. The Y+side roof connecting part 90 is installed between the second roof body 30b and the third roof body 30c.

[0017] As shown in Fig. 4, each roof connecting portion 90 includes an upper connecting member 60, a lower connecting member 70, and a privacy cover 80. The upper connecting member 60 may simply be read as "upper member". The "lower connecting member 70" and the "privacy cover 80" may also be read as "lower member". The upper connecting member 60, the lower connecting member 70, and the privacy cover 80 all extend in the X direction.

[0018] The upper connecting member 60 includes a top plate portion 63, a side plate portion 65, a bottom plate portion 67, fins 66, and a hook portion 69. The top plate portion 63, the side plate portion 65, the bottom plate portion 67, the fins 66, and the hook portion 69 all extend in the X direction. The top plate portion 63 straddles the upper surfaces of the roof bodies lined up in the Y direction. That is, for example, the top plate portion 63 of the roof connecting portion 90 on the Y-side straddles the upper surface of the first roof body 30a and the upper surface of the second roof body 30b. The top plate portion 63 is fixed to the upper surfaces of the roof bodies on both sides in the Y direction with screws Sc.

[0019] The side plate portion 65 protrudes downward from the top plate portion 63. The bottom plate portion 67 protrudes from the lower end of the side plate portion 65 to the Y-side. Between the roof body on the Y-side of the bottom plate portion 67 and the bottom plate portion 67, that is, between the first roof body 30a and the bottom plate portion 67 of the roof connecting portion 90 on the Y-side, for example, a gap G extending in the X-direction is formed. This gap G is larger than at least the diameter of the cable PC. Between the top plate portion 63 and the bottom plate portion 67, an open space S that opens to the Y-side and extends in the X-direction is formed. Therefore, when viewed in the X-direction, the portion of the upper connecting member 60 including the top plate portion 63, the side plate portion 65, and the bottom plate portion 67 is a solid shape.

[0020] The hook portion 69 is shaped like a hook that extends downward from the lower end of the side plate portion 65 and then turns back upward on the Y- side. The fin 66 is provided in a portion of the side plate portion 65 located above the notch 60d, and protrudes on the Y+ side.

[0021] A notch 60d is provided in a predetermined section in the X direction of the upper connecting member 60 to avoid interference with the cable PC. Specifically, the predetermined section in the X direction here is a section in the X direction in which the downlight DL is installed. The notch 60d is provided in the upper connecting member 60 at a position spanning the lower part of the side plate portion 65, the bottom plate portion 67, and the hook portion 69. The notch 60d allows the cable PC to extend from the open space S to the Y+ side.

[0022] The lower connecting member 70 includes a base 71, two downward protruding portions 75, 76, and a hooked portion 72. The base 71, the two downward protruding portions 75, 76, and the hooked portion 72 all extend in the X direction. When viewed in the X direction, the base 71 extends in the Y direction. The hooked portion 72 extends from the Y+ side end of the base 71 to the Y+ side and then extends downward. When attaching the lower connecting member 70 to the upper connecting member 60, the hooked portion 72 is engaged with the hook portion 69 of the upper connecting member 60, so that the lower connecting member 70 can be temporarily placed on the upper connecting member 60.

[0023] The base 71 is attached to the bottom plate portion 67 of the upper connecting member 60 with a screw Sc. The two downward protrusions 75, 76 are arranged side by side with a gap in the Y direction. The downward protrusion 75 on the Y- side protrudes downward from the Y- side end of the base 71. The downward protrusion 76 on the Y+ side extends downward from the Y+ side end of the base 71 and then extends in the Y+ direction. A locking portion 78 that protrudes inward in the Y direction is provided on the inner side surface in the Y direction of each downward protrusion 75, 76.

[0024] The privacy cover 80 includes a cover base 81, two locked portions 87, and two upward protruding portions 83. The cover base 81, the two locked portions 87, and the two upward protruding portions 83 all extend in the X direction. When viewed in the X direction, the cover base 81 extends in the Y direction. The two upward protruding portions 83 protrude upward from both ends of the cover base 81 in the Y direction. The two locked portions 87 protrude upward from the center of the cover base 81 in the Y direction at an interval in the Y direction. Specifically, each locked portion 87 protrudes upward beyond each upward protruding portion 83.

[0025] The two locked portions 87 are disposed between the two downward protruding portions 75, 76 of the lower connecting member 70 and locked to the two locking portions 78, whereby the privacy cover 80 is attached to the lower connecting member 70.

[0026] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, in each of the roof bodies 30a, 30b, 30c, the downlights DL are arranged in two rows spaced apart in the X direction, with three downlights DL arranged side by side in the Y direction.

[0027] In the carport 40 to which the first roof body 30a belongs, the cable PC extends upward along the X+ side pillar 22 of the Y- side support portion 20, and then extends to the Y- side along the X+ side edge of the first roof body 30a. Then, it extends to the X- side from the end of the X+ side and Y- side of the first roof body 30a along the Y- side edge of the first roof body 30a. It branches off at the Y- side edge and extends to the Y+ side at intervals in the X direction. This cable PC is electrically connected to each downlight DL lined up in the Y direction.

[0028] In the carport 40 to which the second roof body 30b belongs, the cable PC extends upward along the X+ side support 22 of the Y- side support portion 20, and then extends to the Y- side along the X+ side edge of the second roof body 30b. Then, it extends to the X- side along the roof connection portion 90 from the X+ side end of the Y- side roof connection portion 90. It branches at the roof connection portion 90 and extends to the Y+ side at intervals in the X direction. The cable PC is electrically connected to each downlight DL arranged in the Y direction. As shown in FIG. 4, in the roof connection portion 90 on the Y- side, the cable PC is installed in the open space S described above, and extends from the open space S to the Y+ side through the notch 60d.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 2, in the carport 40 to which the third roof body 30c belongs, the cable PC extends upward along the X+ side support 22 of the Y+ side support 20, and then extends to the Y+ side along the X+ side edge of the third roof body 30c. Then, from the end of the X+ side and Y+ side of the third roof body 30c, it extends to the X- side along the Y+ side edge of the third roof body 30c. It branches off at the Y+ side edge and extends to the Y- side at intervals in the X direction. This cable PC is electrically connected to each downlight DL arranged in the Y direction.

[0030] Next, a construction method for the multiple carport 100 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figs.

[0031] First, as shown in Fig. 5, the carport 40 to which the first roof body 30a belongs is installed. Next, as shown in Fig. 5, the support part 20 of the carport 40 to which the second roof body 30b belongs is installed, and the X+ end frame material 32 of the second roof body 30b is installed. Next, as shown in Fig. 6, the upper connecting member 60 of the Y-side roof connecting part 90 is installed between the first roof body 30a and the X+ end frame material 32 of the second roof body 30b. Next, as shown in Fig. 7, each intermediate member 33 and the X-end frame material 34 of the second roof body 30b are installed.

[0032] Next, as shown in Fig. 8, the downlight DL is installed on the second roof body 30b, and the cable PC for supplying power thereto is also installed. At this time, as shown in Fig. 9, a predetermined section of the cable PC is installed in the open space S of the roof connecting part 90 on the Y-side.

[0033] 10, the lower connecting member 70 is attached to the lower part of the upper connecting member 60 with the screw Sc. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, the blind cover 80 is attached to the lower part of the lower connecting member 70 by engaging the locked part 87 of the blind cover 80 with the locking part 78 of the lower connecting member 70.

[0034] After that, as shown in Fig. 12, the carport 40 to which the third roof body 30c belongs and the roof connecting part 90 on the Y+ side are installed. The installation procedure is substantially the same as the installation procedure for the carport 40 to which the second roof body 30b belongs and the roof connecting part 90 on the Y- side shown above. However, the cable PC is different in that it is passed through the edge part on the Y+ side of the third roof body 30c instead of inside the roof connecting part 90.

[0035] Through the above steps, the multi-carport 100 shown in Figure 1 is completed.

[0036] The configuration and effects of this embodiment are summarized below.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 9, the upper connecting member 60 has a solid shape including a top plate portion 63, a side plate portion 65 protruding downward from the top plate portion 63, and a bottom plate portion 67 protruding from the side plate portion 65 toward the Y-side when viewed in the X-direction. Therefore, an open space S that opens to the Y-side and extends in the X-direction is formed between the top plate portion 63 and the bottom plate portion 67. A gap G extending in the X-direction is formed between the first roof body 30a and the bottom plate portion 67. In this state, the cable PC is installed in the open space S. As a result, the worker can install the cable PC in the open space S from the gap G extending in the X-direction. Therefore, the worker can install the cable PC inside the roof connecting portion 90 more easily than when the gap G does not exist.

[0038] 4, a notch 60d for avoiding interference with the cable PC is provided in a predetermined section in the X direction of the upper connecting member 60. As a result, the cable PC for the second roof body 30b can be extended from the open space S of the roof connecting part 90 on the Y- side to the Y+ side through the notch 60d.

[0039] A fin 66 protruding toward the Y+ side is provided in a portion of the side plate portion 65 located above the notch 60d. Therefore, when providing the notch 60d, the notch 60d can be provided by cutting the side plate portion 65 up to the fin 66 using the fin 66 as a guide. Furthermore, the fin 66 can ensure the spacing between the adjacent roof body on the Y+ side, that is, in the case of the roof connecting portion 90 on the Y- side, the spacing between the second roof body 30b.

[0040] As described above, according to this embodiment, the cable PC can be installed inside the roof connecting portion 90 more easily than when there is no gap G. However, even so, installing the cable PC inside the roof connecting portion 90 is often more troublesome than installing the cable PC in other parts. In this respect, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, only the cable PC for the second roof body 30b passes through the roof connecting portion 90. That is, the cable PC for the first roof body 30a passes through the edge part on the Y- side of the first roof body 30a. Also, the cable PC for the third roof body 30c passes through the edge part on the Y+ side of the third roof body 30c. Therefore, the number of cables PC passing inside the roof connecting portion 90 can be reduced as much as possible, and the installation work of the cable PC for the multiple-roof carport 100 can be simplified as much as possible.

[0041] [Second embodiment] Next, a second embodiment will be described. The second embodiment will be described based on the first embodiment, focusing on the differences, and descriptions of the same or similar aspects to the first embodiment will be omitted as appropriate.

[0042] First, the configuration of the multiple carport 100 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 13 to Fig. 16. As shown in Fig. 13, each carport 40 has two line lights LL instead of the multiple downlights DL in the first embodiment. Each line light LL is, for example, a seamless line light that has LEDs arranged seamlessly in the length direction.

[0043] As shown in Fig. 14, in each of the roof bodies 30a, 30b, and 30c, two line lights LL extend in the Y direction with a gap in the X direction. Specifically, for example, grooves extending in the Y direction are arranged side by side with a gap in the X direction on the underside of each of the roof bodies 30a, 30b, and 30c. A line light LL is installed in each of these grooves.

[0044] As shown in Fig. 16, in each roof connecting portion 90, notches 60d, 70d, and 80d are provided in a predetermined section in the X direction of each of the upper connecting member 60, the lower connecting member 70, and the privacy cover 80. Specifically, the predetermined section in the X direction here is the section in the X direction in which the line light LL is installed. These notches 60d, 70d, and 80d prevent the end of the line light LL from interfering with the roof connecting portion 90.

[0045] Specifically, the notch 60d of the upper connecting member 60 is provided in a position spanning the lower part of the side plate portion 65, the bottom plate portion 67, and the hook portion 69, as in the first embodiment. The notch 70d of the lower connecting member 70 is provided in an area spanning the base portion 71, the hooked portion 72, and the downward protruding portions 75, 76. The notch 80d of the privacy cover 80 is provided in a position spanning the upper parts of the two hooked portions 87.

[0046] As shown in Fig. 14, each line light LL of the first roof body 30a extends from the Y-side edge of the first roof body 30a to the Y-side roof connecting portion 90. Each line light LL of the second roof body 30b extends from the Y-side roof connecting portion 90 to the Y+side roof connecting portion 90. Each line light LL of the third roof body 30c extends from the Y+side edge of the third roof body 30c to the Y+side roof connecting portion 90.

[0047] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 16, the Y+ side end of each line light LL of the first roof body 30a overlaps the gap G in the Y- side roof connecting portion 90 and the notch 70d of the lower connecting member 70. The Y- side end of each line light LL of the second roof body 30b overlaps the notch 60d of the upper connecting member 60, the notch 70d of the lower connecting member 70, and the notch 80d of the privacy cover 80 in the Y- side roof connecting portion 90.

[0048] Similarly, the Y+ side end of each line light LL of the second roof body 30b shown in Fig. 14 overlaps the gap G in the Y+ side roof connecting portion 90 and the notch 70d of the lower connecting member 70. The Y- side end of each line light LL of the third roof body 30c overlaps the notch 60d of the upper connecting member 60, the notch 70d of the lower connecting member 70, and the notch 80d of the privacy cover 80 in the Y+ side roof connecting portion 90.

[0049] As shown in Fig. 14, the cable PC for the first roof body 30a is electrically connected to each line light LL of the first roof body 30a at the Y- side edge of the first roof body 30a. The cable PC for the second roof body 30b is electrically connected to each line light LL of the second roof body 30b in the open space S of the Y- side roof connecting portion 90. The cable PC for the third roof body 30c is electrically connected in parallel to each line light LL of the third roof body 30c at the Y+ side edge of the third roof body 30c.

[0050] Next, a construction method for the multiple carport 100 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figs.

[0051] First, as shown in Fig. 17, the carport 40 to which the first roof body 30a belongs is installed. Next, as shown in Fig. 17, the support part 20 of the carport 40 to which the second roof body 30b belongs is installed, and the X+ end frame material 32 of the second roof body 30b is installed. Next, as shown in Fig. 18, the upper connecting member 60 of the roof connecting part 90 on the Y- side is installed between the first roof body 30a and the X+ end frame material 32 of the second roof body 30b. Next, as shown in Fig. 19, each intermediate member 33 and the X- end frame material 34 of the second roof body 30b are installed.

[0052] Next, as shown in Fig. 20, a line light LL is installed on the second roof body 30b, and a cable PC for supplying power thereto is also installed. At this time, as shown in Fig. 21, a predetermined section of the cable PC is installed in the open space S of the roof connecting part 90 on the Y-side.

[0053] 22, the lower connecting member 70 is attached to the lower part of the upper connecting member 60 with the screw Sc. Then, as shown in FIG. 23, the blind cover 80 is attached to the lower part of the lower connecting member 70 by engaging the locked part 87 of the blind cover 80 with the locking part 78 of the lower connecting member 70.

[0054] After that, as shown in Fig. 24, the carport 40 to which the third roof body 30c belongs and the roof connecting part 90 on the Y+ side are installed. The installation procedure is substantially the same as the installation procedure for the carport 40 to which the second roof body 30b belongs and the roof connecting part 90 on the Y- side shown above. However, the cable PC is different in that it is passed through the edge part on the Y+ side of the third roof body 30c instead of inside the roof connecting part 90.

[0055] According to this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, the light that illuminates the lower part of each roof body 30a, 30b, 30c is a line light LL extending in the Y direction. Therefore, the lower part of each roof body 30a, 30b, 30c can be evenly illuminated in the Y direction. Also, as shown in FIG. 16, notches 60d, 70d, 80d are provided in a predetermined section in the X direction of each of the upper connecting member 60, the lower connecting member 70, and the privacy cover 80 to avoid interference with the line light LL. Therefore, these notches 60d, 70d, 80d can avoid the interference. Also, the line light LL of the first roof body 30a extends to the gap G in the roof connecting portion 90 on the Y-side. Therefore, the gap G can be effectively used to avoid interference between the line light LL and the upper connecting member 60.

[0056] [Other embodiments] The above embodiment can be modified as follows, for example. In the multi-carport 100 shown in Figs. 1 and 10, the number of carports 40 lined up in the Y direction may be two, or may be four or more. The support portion 20 may have the support pillar 21 only on one side in the X direction. In other words, in each carport 40, the roof members 30a, 30b, and 30c may be supported in a cantilevered manner.

[0057] Furthermore, the above embodiments are not limited to the connecting structure of the roof bodies 30a, 30b, 30c of the carport 40, but may also be applied to the connecting structure of roof bodies of various structures such as terraces, bicycle parking areas, shelters, rest areas, bus stops, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
