The traditional tunnel sunshade can form a brightness transition zone to improve the light environment at the tunnel entrance and exit through the gradual change of brightness, but it cannot automatically adjust according to the brightness outside the tunnel, and it affects the ventilation effect of the tunnel when a fire occurs, forming a certain safety hazard. SUMMARY

[0006] Further, the controller is also electrically connected to a smoke sensor.
[0007] Further, the two ends of all transmission rods are connected together by a connecting piece.
[0008] Further, the driving mechanism is a telescopic mechanism, and the movable end of the telescopic mechanism is connected perpendicularly to the connecting piece.
[0009] Further, support pieces are arranged at the two ends of the shed frame, holes are arranged on the support pieces, and the transmission rods are slidably arranged through the holes.
[0010] Further, the light-shielding blade comprises a blade body, a rib is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the highway at the middle of the width direction of the blade body, the guide groove is arranged on the rib, and the rib is hingedly connected to the transmission rod.
[0011] Furthermore, the canopy includes several circumferential support rods located transversely within the highway. These circumferential support rods are arranged in parallel along the longitudinal direction of the highway. All the circumferential support rods are connected by several crossbeams arranged longitudinally along the highway, and these crossbeams are arranged circumferentially along the circumferential support rods.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0013] This invention provides an adjustable brightness tunnel sunshade. A light intensity sensor and a smoke sensor detect the light and smoke conditions outside the tunnel. When the light intensity outside the tunnel changes or there is smoke, the controller controls the drive mechanism to move, thereby moving the transmission rod. Under the combined action of the guide rod and the guide groove, the shading blades rotate around the hinge axis, thereby adjusting the angle of the shading blades and ultimately adjusting the brightness inside the sunshade. This effectively solves the technical problems of automatic brightness adjustment inside the sunshade and improving ventilation in the event of a tunnel fire.
