[0047] S1: Install the mounting frame 100 on the wall, and the mounting frame 100 is provided with a guide rail 101; S2: At least two curtain folding mechanisms 200 are slidably arranged on the guide rail 101, and the curtain folding mechanisms 200 are arranged in an array along the guide rail 101; S3: Before step S2, one end of the curtain assembly 400 is fixedly connected to one of the curtain folding mechanisms 200, and after step S2, the other end of the curtain assembly 400 is fixedly connected to an adjacent curtain folding mechanism 200; or after step S2, two adjacent curtain folding mechanisms 200 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the curtain assembly 400 between the two. The present invention provides a folding canopy, which divides the curtain into two or more pieces of cloth, reduces the size and weight of the cloth installed each time, does not require multiple workers to support the operation during installation, and reduces the difficulty of installation.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 2-Figure 7In a preferred embodiment, the folding canopy includes a mounting frame 100, a driving mechanism 300, a plurality of curtain folding mechanisms 200 and a plurality of curtain assemblies 400. The mounting frame 100 is provided with two guide rails 101 and a rain shield 103 for protecting the motor from rain. The guide rail 101 has an active cavity, and a protruding opening 102 connected to the active cavity is provided at the bottom of the guide rail 101. Each curtain folding mechanism 200 includes a curtain drag rod 201 and a ball 202. The curtain drag rod 201 is arranged in an array at intervals along the direction of the guide rail 101, and the upper end of the curtain drag rod 201 is connected to the ball 202, and the roller at the upper end of the ball 202 is arranged in the active cavity of the guide rail 101. The driving mechanism 300 is arranged at one end of the mounting frame 100, and the driving mechanism 300 includes a driving motor 301 located at the rain shield 103, a transmission belt 302 connected to the driving motor 301, and a connecting member 303 connected to the transmission belt 302. The lower end of the connecting member 303 is connected to a curtain drag rod 201 away from the driving motor 301. This curtain drag rod 201 is generally a traction rod 209. The curtain drag rod 201 close to the driving motor 301 is generally a fixed rod 210, which is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 100. Before installing the curtain drag rod 201, the traction rod 209 and the fixed rod 210 to the guide rail 101, one end of the curtain assembly 400 can be connected to the curtain drag rod 201, the traction rod 209 and the fixed rod 210 respectively. After the curtain drag rod 201, the traction rod 209 and the fixed rod 210 are installed on the guide rail 101, the other end of the curtain assembly 400 can be connected to the adjacent curtain drag rod 201, and the curtain drag rod 201 and the curtain assembly 400 form a foldable curtain. The driving motor 301 drives the transmission belt 302 to move in an annular manner. The transmission belt 302 drives the traction rod 209 to move closer to or away from the fixed rod 210 through the connecting member 303. The traction rod 209 can sequentially drive the curtain assembly 400 and other curtain folding mechanisms 200 to move closer to or away from the fixed rod 210 along the guide rail 101. The curtain assembly 400 and the curtain drag rod 201 can be fixedly connected by means of existing technologies such as screws, screw holes, and clamping mechanisms.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 3 and 14 Furthermore, the bottom of the guide rail 101 is provided with an extension opening 102 connected to the movable cavity, the upper end of the ball 202 is located in the movable cavity, and the lower end of the ball 202 can extend out of the guide rail 101 through the extension opening 102, and the lower end of the ball 202 and the curtain rod 201 are both provided with threaded connection holes. During installation, the roller at the upper end of the required ball 202 can be placed in the movable cavity of the guide rail 101, and then the lower end of the ball 202 and the curtain rod 201 are fixed through the threaded connection holes of the two with screws. This facilitates the installation of the curtain rod 201 and the installation of the curtain assembly 400 in the next step.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 6-Figure 9In a preferred embodiment, at least two installation cavities 203 are provided on each curtain rod 201 at intervals, and the installation cavities 203 are arranged along the axial direction of the curtain rod 201; the curtain assembly 400 includes a curtain piece 401 and an insertion rod 402 respectively arranged at both ends of the curtain piece 401, and the insertion rod 402 can be arranged in the installation cavity 203, so that the curtain folding mechanism 200 and the curtain assembly 400 are fixedly connected. The installation cavity 203 is located at the upper end of the curtain rod 201. The upper end of the installation cavity 203 penetrates the upper surface of the curtain rod 201 and forms a curtain outlet 204. The front end of the installation cavity 203 penetrates the front surface of the curtain rod 201 and / or the rear end of the installation cavity 203 penetrates the rear surface of the curtain rod 201. The front end and / or the rear end of the installation cavity 203 form a curtain insertion opening 205. The sum of the diameter of the insertion rod 402 and the thickness of the curtain sheet 401 provided at the periphery is greater than the width of the curtain outlet 204 and less than or equal to the diameter of the curtain outlet 204. The thickness of the curtain sheet 401 is less than or equal to the width of the curtain outlet 204. The insertion rod 402 can be inserted into the installation cavity 203 through the curtain insertion opening 205. The curtain outlet 204 limits the upward movement of the insertion rod 402. The curtain sheet 401 can extend out of the installation cavity 203 through the curtain outlet 204. When in use, before the above step S2, the insertion rod 402 at one end of the curtain piece 401 can be inserted into one of the installation cavities 203 on the curtain drag rod 201. After completing step S2, the insertion rod 402 at the other end of the curtain piece 401 can be inserted into another installation cavity 203 of the curtain drag rod 201. Through the above arrangement, the curtain folding mechanism 200 and the curtain assembly 400 are more convenient to install, and the curtain assembly 400 does not need to be punched, and the rainproof effect is better. Further, the curtain piece 401 can be a sunshade awning, and the two ends of the curtain piece 401 can be pre-sewn to form a cloth belt-shaped insertion hole 403, and the insertion rod 402 is inserted into the insertion hole 403, so that the curtain piece 401 and the insertion rod 402 are relatively fixed. On the other hand, the curtain piece 401 can be made of PVC material, and at this time, the curtain piece 401 and the insertion rod 402 can be integrally formed.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figures 10 to 13In the preferred embodiment, further, the difference from the previous embodiment lies in the stopper 208 and the installation cavity 203, which can realize different installation methods of the curtain folding mechanism 200 and the curtain assembly 400. The above generally adopts the method of inserting the rod 402 into the installation cavity 203 through the curtain insertion port 205. In this embodiment, both insertion and placement and their combination can be adopted, and the installation efficiency is higher. Specifically, an upward insertion opening 209 is provided at the upper end of at least one installation cavity 203 on the curtain drag rod 201, and the insertion opening 209 is connected with the installation cavity 203. The distance of the insertion opening 209 in the width direction is greater than the diameter of the insertion rod 402; the curtain folding mechanism 200 also includes a limit member 208, which can be detachably installed on the curtain drag rod 201, and the limit member 208 extends into the insertion opening 209 and forms a curtain lead-out port 204 with the insertion opening 209. The thickness of the curtain sheet 401 is less than or equal to the curtain lead-out port 204, and the insertion rod 402 can be inserted into the installation cavity 203 through the insertion opening 209.

[0052] Each curtain pull rod 201 is provided with two installation cavities 203, and both installation cavities 203 are provided with insertion openings 209. The curtain folding mechanism 200 and the curtain assembly 400 are installed in the following manners:

[0053] Installation method 1 of the above embodiment: before step S2, the insertion rod 402 at one end of the curtain piece 401 is placed through the insertion opening 209 into the installation cavity 203 on a curtain drag rod 201, and is fixed by the stopper 208; after completing step S2, the insertion rod 402 at the other end of the curtain piece 401 is placed through the insertion opening 209 into another installation cavity 203 on an adjacent curtain drag rod 201, and is fixed by the stopper 208.

[0054] Installation method 2 of the embodiment: After completing step S2, the insertion rod 402 at one end of the curtain piece 401 is placed through the insertion opening 209 into the installation cavity 203 on a curtain drag rod 201 and fixed by the stopper 208; then the insertion rod 402 at the other end of the curtain piece 401 is placed through the insertion opening 209 into another installation cavity 203 on an adjacent curtain drag rod 201 and fixed by the stopper 208.

[0055] If only one of the two mounting cavities 203 on the curtain drag rod 201 is inserted into the opening 209 (see Figure 7 ), then before step S2, the insertion rod 402 at one end of the curtain piece 401 is inserted into the installation cavity 203 without the insertion opening 209 through the curtain insertion opening 205; after completing step S2, the insertion rod 402 at the other end of the curtain piece 401 is placed through the insertion opening 209 into another installation cavity 203 on an adjacent curtain drag rod 201 and fixed by the limiter 208.

[0056] The curtain assembly 400 is generally larger and longer. If a softer material is used, it is difficult to insert the curtain assembly 400 into the socket 403. The above-mentioned insertion and placement and their combination can further overcome the problem that the curtain assembly 400 made of a softer material is difficult to insert into the socket 403. On the other hand, the cooperation of the two upwardly disposed installation cavities 203, the limit members 208, the two insertion rods 402, the curtain piece 401 and the curtain outlet 204 can greatly improve the overall rainproof performance of the folding skylight.
