[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a building canopy, comprising:

[0038] The canopy 1 has a wavy cross section along its length;

[0039] Rainwater collection system, including:

[0040] The water channel 2 is provided below the canopy 1 and along the length of the canopy 1. The water channel 2 is connected to each low-lying part of the canopy 1.

[0041] A water storage tank 4 is connected to the water channel 2 through a collecting pipe 3;

[0042] A water spray pipe 6 is provided above the canopy 1 and extends along the length direction of the canopy 1. The water spray pipe 6 is connected to the water tank 4 through a water supply pipe 5. A plurality of nozzles 7 are provided at intervals along the length direction of the canopy 1 at the bottom of the water spray pipe 6, and each nozzle 7 is provided facing the canopy 1. A water pump is provided on the water supply pipe 5.

[0043] A building canopy includes a canopy 1 and a rainwater collection system, the rainwater collection system includes a water guide trough 2, a water storage tank 4, a water spray pipe 6 and a nozzle 7; specifically, the building is fixedly connected to the canopy 1, wherein the cross-sectional shape of the canopy 1 along its length direction is wavy, and a water guide trough 2 is provided along its length direction below the canopy 1, wherein the water guide trough 2 is connected to each low-lying part of the canopy 1, the water guide trough 2 is connected to the water storage tank 4 through a collection pipe 3, and the water storage tank 4 is connected to the water spray pipe 6 through a water supply pipe 5, wherein the water spray pipe 6 is provided above the canopy 1 and extends along the length direction of the canopy 1, and a plurality of nozzles 7 are provided at intervals at the bottom of the water spray pipe 6 along the length direction of the canopy 1, wherein each nozzle 7 is arranged facing the canopy 1, and a water pump is provided on the water supply pipe 5.

[0044] In the above technical solution, a building canopy 1 includes:

[0045] The canopy 1 has a wavy cross-section along its length. The canopy 1 is fixedly connected to the building. The fixed connection can be achieved by, but is not limited to, the following two embodiments: Embodiment 1: a plurality of steel cables or pull rods are provided on the top plate of the canopy 1, and each steel cable or pull rod is fixedly connected to the building; Embodiment 2: a plurality of columns are provided on the bottom plate of the canopy 1, and each column is fixedly connected to the ground of the building;

[0046] Rainwater collection system, including:

[0047] The water channel 2 is provided below the canopy 1 and along the length of the canopy 1. The water channel 2 is connected to each low-lying part of the canopy 1.

[0048] A water storage tank 4 is connected to the water channel 2 through a collecting pipe 3;

[0049] A water spray pipe 6 is provided above the canopy 1 and extends along the length direction of the canopy 1. The water spray pipe 6 is connected to the water tank 4 through a water supply pipe 5. A plurality of nozzles 7 are provided at intervals along the length direction of the canopy 1 at the bottom of the water spray pipe 6, and each nozzle 7 is provided facing the canopy 1. A water pump is provided on the water supply pipe 5.

[0050] Rainwater dripping onto the surface of canopy 1 is collected by gravity in each low-lying area of ​​canopy 1 and flows into water channel 2. It is then transported by collection pipe 3 to water storage tank 4 for storage. When canopy 1 needs to be cleaned, the rainwater stored in water storage tank 4 is pumped into spray pipe 6 by a water pump and sprayed onto the surface of canopy 1 by multiple nozzles 7 to flush it. This technical solution can promptly drain rainwater dripping from canopy 1, effectively preventing water accumulation in canopy 1. Furthermore, rainwater can be collected and used to clean canopy 1, rationally collecting and utilizing rainwater, creating a green and environmentally friendly method. It is worth noting that in order to make this technical solution more practical, an outlet pipe is provided at the upper end of one side of the water tank 4, and the outlet pipe is connected to a water-using device, such as a fountain, a lawn, an artificial lake, etc. When there is too much rainwater stored in the water tank 4, it will overflow into the outlet pipe and be used for other water-using devices; the canopy 1 is arranged at an angle, and one end of the canopy provided with a water guide trough 2 is lower than the other end opposite to it, so that rainwater in each low-lying area of ​​the canopy 1 flows into the water guide trough 2.

[0051] Another technical solution is that the water trough 2 is inclined along its length direction, and the collecting pipe 3 is connected to the lower end of the water trough 2. Since the water trough 2 is inclined, the rainwater flowing into the water trough 2 will gather at the lower end of the water trough 2 under gravity and be discharged by the collecting pipe 3 arranged at the lower end of the water trough 2, realizing unpowered drainage.

[0052] Another technical solution is that a sedimentation well 8 is provided in the middle of the collecting pipe 3, which is a columnar or box structure. The collecting pipe 3 is connected to the upper part of one side of the sedimentation well 8, and the middle part of the other side is connected to the water storage tank 4 through a water pipe. The sedimentation well 8 can settle the sediment in the rainwater, simply treat the rainwater, and prevent the sediment in the rainwater from clogging the pipeline. At the same time, the elevation of the sedimentation well 8 is higher than the elevation of the water storage tank 4, so that the rainwater flows from the sedimentation well 8 to the water storage tank 4 under gravity, realizing unpowered water supply.

[0053] Another technical solution is to connect a sewage pipe 9 at the lower end of the water guide trough 2, and the sewage pipe 9 is connected to the sewage pipe of the building. After the canopy 1 is flushed with the nozzle 7, the generated sewage will be collected in the low-lying area of ​​the canopy 1 and flow into the water guide trough 2, and then flow into the sewage pipe 9 set at the lower end of the water guide trough 2, and discharged from the sewage pipe 9 to the sewage pipe.

[0054] Another technical solution is that since the collecting pipe 3 and the sewage pipe 9 are both arranged at the lower end of the water guide trough 2, in order to prevent rainwater and sewage from mixing, a first water valve 10 and a second water valve 11 are respectively provided at the upper ends of the collecting pipe 3 and the sewage pipe 9. When rainwater needs to be collected, the first water valve 10 is opened and the second water valve 11 is closed, and the rainwater flows into the collecting pipe 3. After the canopy 1 is flushed with the nozzle 7, the first water valve 10 is closed and the second water valve 11 is opened, and the sewage will flow into the sewage pipe 9.

[0055] Another technical solution is that the water channel 2 is arranged from one end of the awning 1 to the other end and tilted downward; an inverted L-shaped mounting plate 12 is fixed on one end of the awning 1, such as Figure 2 As shown, the moving mechanism includes:

[0056] The roller 13 is horizontally rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 12. The central axis of the roller 13 extends along the width direction of the canopy 1. The central axis of the roller 13 is connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the motor drives the roller 13 to rotate around its central axis. An S-shaped chute 14 is provided on the circumferential side of the roller 13 along its length direction.

[0057] A slider 16 is slidably disposed in the S-shaped slide groove 14;

[0058] The rotating rod 15 has one end connected to the slider 16 and the other end provided with a transmission plate 17. A first rack 18 is provided on one side of the transmission plate 17. The middle portion of the rotating rod 15 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 12 provided below it.

[0059] The sliding groove 19 is fixed on the mounting plate 12. The length direction of the sliding groove 19 is consistent with the width direction of the canopy 1. The cross section of the sliding groove 19 perpendicular to its length direction is an inverted T-shape.

[0060] The connecting plate 20 is arranged above the sliding groove 19. The bottom plate of the connecting plate 20 is provided with an integrally formed sliding block 21. The cross-section of the sliding block 21 is an inverted T-shaped and matches the sliding groove 19. The sliding block 21 is placed in the sliding groove 19 so that the connecting plate 20 can slide along the length direction of the sliding groove 19; the first side surface of the connecting block is provided with a second rack 22 that meshes with the first rack 18; the second side surface opposite to the first side surface of the connecting block is connected to the water spray pipe 6.

[0061] The rotation of the motor drives the roller 13 to rotate, thereby driving the slider 16 to slide in the S-shaped slide 14. The movement trajectory of the slider 16 is: moving back and forth in a direction parallel to the central axis of the roller 13. The movement of the slider 16 drives the rotating rod 15 to move. Since the middle part of the moving rod is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 12, the rotating rod 15 rotates, and the rotation of the rotating rod 15 drives the rotation of the transmission plate 17. Since the first rack 18 on the rotating plate is engaged with the second rack 22 on the connecting block, the rotation of the transmission plate 17 drives the connecting block in the sliding groove 19 It slides inward, thereby driving the water pipe 6 to move along the width direction of the canopy 1. When the sliding block 21 moves to the critical position of its turning, the water pipe 6 moves to the boundary of the canopy 1, so that the nozzle 7 can rinse the entire surface of the canopy 1 without creating a sanitary dead corner. It should be noted that by fixing the multiple steel cables or pull rods on the canopy 1 to the building, the setting position of each steel cable or pull rod on the canopy 1 will not affect the movement of the water pipe 6. Preferably, each steel cable or pull rod is set on the side wall of the canopy 1.

[0062] Another technical solution is that the canopy 1 includes two parallel panels, the upper panel 1a is made of laminated safety glass, and the lower panel 1b is made of perforated aluminum plate. The laminated glass can block more than 99% of ultraviolet rays and absorb heat in the infrared spectrum, so that the canopy 1 has a good sunshade effect. The perforated aluminum plate solves the problem that the pure aluminum plate canopy 1 cannot transmit light.

[0063] Another technical solution is that the shape formed by the arrangement of all the nozzles 7 is consistent with the cross-sectional shape of the canopy 1, which can avoid the problem of poor flushing effect of the nozzles 7 that are far away from the canopy 1 when the shape formed by the arrangement of all the nozzles 7 is designed as a straight line; a plurality of wipers 23 are provided on the nozzle pipe 7, and a wiper 23 is provided for each low-lying area of ​​the canopy 1. The bottom end of the wiper 23 is in contact with the canopy 1. Since the canopy 1 is a wave-like design, some larger waste, such as fallen leaves, mud and sand deposits, etc. will gather in the low-lying areas of the canopy 1. In order to ensure the cleanliness of the canopy 1, these larger wastes are swept away from the canopy 1 by providing wipers 23.

[0064] The number of devices and processing scales described herein are intended to simplify the description of the present invention. Applications, modifications, and variations of the present invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.

[0065] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the description and implementation methods. They can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those familiar with the art, additional modifications can be easily implemented. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the scope of equivalents, the present invention is not limited to the specific details and illustrations shown and described herein.
