[0039] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0040] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "length", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0041] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0042] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited.

Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0044] With increasing emphasis on the development and utilization of green energy, the development of solar energy utilization technology, represented by the photovoltaic industry, is accelerating. Currently, those involved in the photovoltaic industry typically place photovoltaic equipment in open areas with good lighting conditions, such as rooftops, courtyards, and open balconies. However, in windy or typhoon weather, photovoltaic equipment is highly likely to be blown to the ground or collide with other objects during the process, causing damage to the equipment and resulting in property loss for users. Therefore, how to solve the problem of photovoltaic equipment collision damage caused by excessive wind force has become a pressing issue for those skilled in the art. To address these problems, this application provides a photovoltaic sunshade (as shown in Figure 1).

[0045] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. The photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 of this application embodiment includes a photovoltaic module 200 and a frame structure 100. The photovoltaic module 200 includes a photovoltaic frame 210, which includes two first frames 2101 and a second frame 2103 opposite to each other in a first direction. The frame structure 100 includes multiple frame components 10 and crossbeam components 20. The multiple frame components 10 surround a first space 110. The two opposite ends of the crossbeam components 20 are respectively connected to two opposite frame components 10, and the first space 110 is divided into multiple second spaces 120. The second spaces 120 are used to install photovoltaic modules 200. The crossbeam components 20 include crossbeams 21 and mounting frames 23 disposed on opposite sides of the crossbeams 21. The outermost frame component 10 opposite to the crossbeam components 20 includes a frame 11 and a mounting frame 17 disposed inside the frame 11. One of the mounting frame 17 and the mounting frame 23 is engaged with the first frame 2101 of the outermost photovoltaic module 200, and the other is connected to the second frame 2103 of the outermost photovoltaic module 200 through a locking component 300.

[0046] A photovoltaic (PV) awning 1000 is a building structure combining photovoltaic power generation technology and shading function, applicable to residential, commercial buildings, parking lots, and other locations. The PV awning 1000 converts solar energy into electricity while providing sun protection for users. It can be constructed independently or integrated with various buildings, such as on balconies, rooftops, courtyards, or garages. In this application, the PV awning 1000 includes photovoltaic modules 200 and a frame structure 100. The photovoltaic modules 200 effectively collect solar energy and convert it into electricity, supplying power to nearby buildings or feeding it back into the grid. Due to the large area of ​​the photovoltaic modules 200, the PV awning 1000 also provides convenient shading and cooling for users, reducing cooling requirements and improving the comfort of the living or working environment. The frame structure 100 enhances the structural strength of the entire PV awning 1000, preventing the photovoltaic modules 200 from being blown away and damaged in strong winds.

[0047] Specifically, the photovoltaic module 200 is the core component of the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000. Based on the photovoltaic effect, the photovoltaic module 200 converts solar energy into electrical energy. The photovoltaic module 200 includes a photovoltaic frame 210, which comprises two opposing first frames 2101 and second frames 2103 in a first direction (the positive direction of the X-axis in Figure 1). The first frames 2101 and second frames 2103 can be spaced apart and opposite each other along the length of the frame structure 100 (i.e., the positive direction of the X-axis in Figure 1) or along the width of the frame structure 100 (i.e., the positive direction of the Y-axis in Figure 1). The frame structure 100 of the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 includes multiple frame components 10 and crossbeam components 20. The frame components 10 mainly support the upper structure of the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 and ensure its stability and durability. The crossbeam components 20 mainly support and connect other structures of the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000. Multiple frame components 10 surround a first space 110. The opposite ends of a beam component 20 are connected to two opposite frame components 10, dividing the first space 110 into multiple second spaces 120. The second spaces 120 are used to install photovoltaic modules 200. That is, the frame components 10 and beam components 20 provide support for the photovoltaic modules 200, which are housed within the second spaces 120 formed by the frame components 10 and beam components 20.

[0048] More specifically, the crossbeam assembly 20 includes a crossbeam 21 and mounting frames 23 disposed on opposite sides of the crossbeam 21. The mounting frames 23 are a crucial part supporting the structure of the photovoltaic awning 1000. They not only need to support the photovoltaic modules 200 but also require high strength and stability to withstand the effects of wind, rain, snow, and other natural environmental factors. The outermost frame assembly 10, opposite the crossbeam assembly 20, includes a frame 11 and a mounting frame 17 disposed on the inner side of the frame 11 (the second sidewall of the frame 11). The mounting frame 17 has a similar function to the mounting frames 23, also serving as a crucial part supporting the structure of the photovoltaic awning 1000. It also needs to support the photovoltaic modules 200 and possess high strength and stability to withstand the effects of wind, rain, snow, and other natural environmental factors. One of the mounting frames 17 and 23 is engaged with the first frame 2101 of the outermost photovoltaic module 200, while the other is connected to the second frame 2103 of the outermost photovoltaic module 200 via a locking assembly 300. The snap-fit ​​connection assembly process requires no additional tools or equipment and can be completed through simple push-in or pressing actions, greatly improving production efficiency. Simultaneously, the snap-fit ​​connection eliminates the need for screws, glue, or other fasteners, reducing additional material consumption and costs. Furthermore, the locking component 300 provides strong load-bearing capacity and shear resistance, ensuring the stability of the photovoltaic module 200 during use. In this application, the combined use of the snap-fit ​​connection and the locking component 300 connection improves the assembly efficiency of the photovoltaic module 200 while ensuring the connection strength between the photovoltaic module 200 and the frame component 10 and the crossbeam component 20. This ensures that even in windy conditions, the photovoltaic module 200 can be firmly connected to the frame component 10 and the crossbeam component 20, improving the robustness of the photovoltaic awning 1000 and expanding its application scenarios.

[0049] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 5, both the first frame 2101 and the second frame 2103 include a frame body and a first limiting portion 21013 / 21033 disposed at the bottom of the frame body and extending toward the center of the second space 120. When the loading rack 23 is engaged with the first frame 2101 of the outermost photovoltaic module 200, and the mounting frame 17 is connected to the second frame 2103 of the outermost photovoltaic module 200 via the locking assembly 300, the loading rack 23 includes a connecting arm 231, a supporting arm 233, and a locking arm 235. The connecting arm 231 is connected to the crossbeam 21. The supporting arm 233 is connected to the connecting arm 231. The locking arm 235 is connected to the supporting arm 233. In the thickness direction of the photovoltaic module 200, the locking arm 235 and the connecting arm 231 are located on the same side of the supporting arm 233 and are spaced apart from each other in the first direction. The frame body of the first frame 2101 is supported on the supporting arm 233. The first limiting part 21013 / 21033 is engaged with the locking arm 235 to restrict the positive movement of the photovoltaic module 200 in the thickness direction and the first direction. The thickness direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0050] Specifically, the connecting arm 231 is a connecting structure on the loading frame 23. The connecting arm 231 connects to the crossbeam 21, fixing the entire loading frame 23 to the crossbeam 21, thereby ensuring that the loading frame 23 can firmly support the photovoltaic module 200. The connecting arm 231 is connected to the crossbeam 21 by screws or rivets, ensuring that the loading frame 23 can withstand greater pressure or tension, thus improving the connection strength between the loading frame 23 and the crossbeam 21. The load-bearing arm 233 and the connecting arm 231 are connected as a single unit, ensuring a very high degree of connection strength between them, thereby ensuring the stability of the load-bearing arm 233 in supporting the photovoltaic module 200. The locking arm 235 and the load-bearing arm 233 are also connected as a single unit, ensuring a very high degree of connection strength between them. In the thickness direction of the photovoltaic module 200, the locking arm 235 and the connecting arm 231 are located on the same side of the supporting arm 233 and are spaced apart from each other in the first direction. Both the first frame 2101 and the second frame 2103 include a frame body and a first limiting portion 21013 / 21033 disposed at the bottom of the frame body and extending towards the center of the second space 120. The first limiting portion 21013 / 21033, by engaging with the locking arm 235, restricts the positive movement of the photovoltaic module 200 in the thickness direction and the first direction, thereby preventing the photovoltaic module 200 from swaying in the thickness direction and moving positively in the first direction under strong wind conditions. The thickness direction is perpendicular to the first direction, which is the direction shown by the Y-axis in Figure 1.

[0051] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 5, the locking arm 235 includes a first sub-arm 2351 and a second sub-arm 2353. The first sub-arm 2351 extends from the support arm 233 toward the photovoltaic element 230 of the photovoltaic module 200, and the distance between the first sub-arm 2351 and the connecting arm 231 is greater than the dimension of the projection of the first frame 2101 onto the support arm 233 in a first direction. The second sub-arm 2353 extends from the end of the first sub-arm 2351 away from the support arm 233 toward the connecting arm 231, forming a semi-enclosed limiting space 2355 with the support arm 233 and the first sub-arm 2351. The first limiting portions 21013 / 21033 are at least partially accommodated within the limiting space 2355.

[0052] Specifically, the locking arm 235 includes a first sub-arm 2351 and a second sub-arm 2353. The first sub-arm 2351 extends toward the photovoltaic element 230 of the photovoltaic module 200. The distance between the first sub-arm 2351 and the connecting arm 231 is greater than the size of the projection of the first frame 2101 on the support arm 233 in the first direction, to ensure that the first frame 2101 can be placed on the support arm 233. The second sub-arm 2353 extends from the end of the first sub-arm 2351 away from the support arm 233 toward the connecting arm 231, so as to form a semi-enclosed limiting space 2355 with the support arm 233 and the first sub-arm 2351, and accommodates the first limiting part 21013 / 21033 within the limiting space 2355. The second sub-arm 2353 forms a semi-enclosed limiting space 2355 with the support arm 233 and the first sub-arm 2351, realizing the locking connection between the first limiting part 21013 / 21033 and the locking arm 235, and restricting the forward movement of the photovoltaic module 200 in the thickness direction and the first direction, so as to avoid the photovoltaic module 200 swaying in the thickness direction and moving forward in the first direction in the case of strong wind.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 and 5, the angle between the surface of the second sub-arm 2353 facing the support arm 233 and the surface of the first sub-arm 2351 facing the connecting arm 231 is an obtuse angle.

[0054] It is understandable that if the angle between the surface of the second sub-arm 2353 facing the support arm 233 and the surface of the first sub-arm 2351 facing the connecting arm 231 is an acute angle, then the first limiting part 21013 / 21033 of the first frame 2101 cannot be engaged and installed into the limiting space 2355 formed by the second sub-arm 2353, the support arm 233 and the first sub-arm 2351, nor can the first limiting part 21013 / 21033 of the first frame 2101 be removed from the limiting space 2355 formed by the second sub-arm 2353, the support arm 233 and the first sub-arm 2351 in a direction away from the engaging arm 235. If the angle between the surface of the second sub-arm 2353 facing the support arm 233 and the surface of the first sub-arm 2351 facing the connecting arm 231 is a right angle, during the installation and disassembly of the photovoltaic module 200, when the first limiting part 21013 / 21033 of the first frame 2101 is removed from the limiting space 2355 formed by the second sub-arm 2353, the support arm 233 and the first sub-arm 2351 in a direction away from the locking arm 235, a certain amount of friction will occur between the first limiting part 21013 / 21033 and the second sub-arm 2353. This can easily lead to damage to the first limiting part 21013 / 21033 and the second sub-arm 2353, reducing the service life of the photovoltaic awning 1000.

[0055] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 2, both the first frame 2101 and the second frame 2103 include a frame body and a first limiting portion 21013 / 21033 disposed at the bottom of the frame body and extending toward the center of the second space 120. The mounting frame 17 includes a connecting plate 171, a bearing plate 173, and a locking plate 175. The connecting plate 171 is connected to the crossbeam 21. The bearing plate 173 is connected to the connecting plate 171. The locking plate 175 is connected to the bearing plate 173. In the thickness direction of the photovoltaic module 200, the locking plate 175 and the connecting plate 171 are located on opposite sides of the bearing plate 173, respectively. The frame body of the second frame 2103 is supported on the bearing plate 173. The locking assembly 300 is connected to the first limiting portion 21013 / 21033 and the locking plate 175, respectively, to restrict the movement of the photovoltaic module 200 in the thickness direction and the first direction, wherein the thickness direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0056] Specifically, the connecting plate 171 is a connecting structure on the mounting frame 17. The connecting plate 171 connects to the crossbeam 21, fixing the entire mounting frame 17 to the crossbeam 21, thereby ensuring that the mounting frame 17 can firmly support the photovoltaic module 200. The connecting plate 171 is connected to the crossbeam 21 by screws or rivets, ensuring that the mounting frame 17 can withstand greater pressure or tension, thus improving the connection strength between the mounting frame 17 and the crossbeam 21. The support plate 173 and the connecting plate 171 are connected as a single unit, ensuring a very high degree of connection strength between them, thereby ensuring the stability of the support plate 173 in supporting the photovoltaic module 200. The locking plate 175 and the support plate 173 are also connected as a single unit, ensuring a very high degree of connection strength between them. In the thickness direction of the photovoltaic module 200, the locking plate 175 and the connecting plate 171 are located on the same side of the support plate 173 and are spaced apart from each other in the first direction. Both the first frame 2101 and the second frame 2103 include a frame body and a first limiting portion 21013 / 21033 disposed at the bottom of the frame body and extending towards the center of the second space 120. The locking assembly 300 is connected to the first limiting portion 21013 / 21033 and the locking plate 175, thereby restricting the positive movement of the photovoltaic module 200 in the thickness direction and the first direction, to prevent the photovoltaic module 200 from swaying in the thickness direction and moving positively in the first direction under strong wind conditions. The thickness direction is perpendicular to the first direction, which is the direction shown by the Y-axis in Figure 1.

[0057] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the locking assembly 300 includes a latching member 310 and a locking member 330. The latching member 310 includes a first latch 3101, a second latch 3103, and a connecting portion 3105 connecting the first latch 3101 and the second latch 3103. The first latch 3101 and the second latch 3103 are located on the same side of the connecting portion 3105 and are spaced apart from each other. The first latch 3101 engages with the first limiting portion 21013 / 21033, and the second latch 3103 engages with the latching plate 175. The locking member 330 passes through the connecting portion 3105 and is locked onto the latching plate 175.

[0058] Specifically, the locking assembly 300 includes a snap-fit ​​member 310 and a locking member 330. The snap-fit ​​member 310 connects itself to the snap-fit ​​plate 175 and the first limiting portion 21013 / 21033 via a first snap hook 3101 and a second snap hook 3103 located on the same side of the connecting portion 3105. The locking member 330 is typically a screw or rivet, which passes through the connecting portion 3105 and the snap-fit ​​plate 175 to fix the locking assembly 300 to the snap-fit ​​plate 175, thereby ensuring that the locking assembly 300 can be tightly connected to the mounting bracket 17. The snap-fit ​​member 310 engages with the first limiting portion 21013 / 21033 via the first snap hook 3101, thereby achieving a tight connection between the locking assembly 300 and the photovoltaic module 200. Simultaneously, it restricts the forward movement of the photovoltaic module 200 in the first direction to prevent the photovoltaic module 200 from moving forward in the first direction under strong wind conditions, thereby improving the stability of the photovoltaic awning 1000. The locking component 310 is also connected to the locking plate 175 through the second hook 3103, thereby ensuring that the locking component 300 can be tightly connected to the mounting frame 17, thus restricting the forward movement of the photovoltaic module 200 in the thickness direction and the first direction, to prevent the photovoltaic module 200 from swaying in the thickness direction and moving forward in the first direction under strong wind conditions, thereby improving the stability of the photovoltaic awning 1000.

[0059] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1, 2, and 5, the photovoltaic module 200 further includes a photovoltaic element 230. Both the first frame 2101 and the second frame 2103 include a second limiting portion 21015 / 21035 disposed on the top of the frame body. The photovoltaic element 230 is supported on the top of the frame body and is located in a first direction between the second limiting portions 21015 / 21035 of the first frame 2101 and the second limiting portions 21015 / 21035 of the second frame 2103.

[0060] Understandably, the photovoltaic module 200 also includes a photovoltaic element 230. The main function of the photovoltaic element 230 is to convert solar energy into electrical energy, and it is a core component of the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000. The photovoltaic element 230 can be a photovoltaic panel or a photovoltaic module. The photovoltaic element 230 achieves the energy conversion from solar energy to electrical energy through the photoelectric effect. When sunlight shines on the semiconductor material (such as silicon) of the photovoltaic element 230, the energy of the photons excites electrons in the material, causing them to jump from their original positions to higher energy states, thereby forming an electric current. This process is the core principle of photoelectric conversion. The photovoltaic element 230 converts solar energy into direct current (DC), which is then converted into alternating current (AC) by an inverter for use in homes, businesses, or industries, or fed back into the power grid. The photovoltaic element 230 provides clean and renewable energy. The photoelectric conversion process of the photovoltaic element 230 does not produce greenhouse gases, wastewater, or harmful substances, and its environmental impact is minimal compared to fossil fuels. Therefore, the photovoltaic element 230 can effectively reduce the carbon footprint of buildings and reduce dependence on traditional energy sources. Furthermore... The photovoltaic module 230 is also connected to the power grid, transmitting excess power to the grid and enabling bidirectional power flow.

[0061] Specifically, during use, the photovoltaic sunshade 1000 also needs to prevent the photovoltaic component 230 from swaying or moving in windy conditions. To this end, the first frame 2101 and the second frame 2103 of the photovoltaic module 200 of this application are both provided with second limiting portions 21015 / 21035. Since the photovoltaic component 230 is supported on the top of the frame body and is located in the first direction between the second limiting portions 21015 / 21035 of the first frame 2101 and the second limiting portions 21015 / 21035 of the second frame 2103, the second limiting portions 21015 / 21035 of the first frame 2101 and the second limiting portions 21015 / 21035 of the second frame 2103 can cooperate to restrict the movement of the photovoltaic component 230 in the X-axis direction in Figure 1, thereby preventing the photovoltaic component 230 from moving or swaying in windy conditions and improving the stability of the photovoltaic sunshade 1000.

[0062] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1, 2, 8 and 9. The mounting bracket 17 includes a plurality of brackets, which are mounted on the frame 11 at intervals. The loading bracket 23 includes a plurality of brackets, which are mounted on the crossbeam 21 at intervals. The frame assembly 10 also includes a receiving element 51 disposed on the inner side of the frame 11. The crossbeam assembly 20 also includes current-carrying members 215 disposed on opposite sides of the crossbeam 21. In the thickness direction of the photovoltaic module 200, the mounting frame 17 is closer to the top wall of the frame 11 than the current-receiving member 51, and the mounting frame 23 is closer to the top wall of the crossbeam 21 than the current-carrying member 215. The photovoltaic module 230 is higher than the second limiting portion 21015 / 21035 of the first frame 2101 and the second limiting portion 21015 / 21035 of the second frame 2103. The projection of the first frame 2101 toward the current-receiving member 51 is located within the range of the current-receiving member 51, and / or the projection of the second frame 2103 toward the current-carrying member 215 is located within the range of the current-carrying member 215.

[0063] Specifically, each photovoltaic module 200 needs to be mounted on the frame 11 via a mounting bracket 17, and also on the crossbeam 21 via a mounting frame 23. During the use of the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000, there will also be usage scenarios in rainy weather. Therefore, multiple mounting brackets 17 are installed on the frame 11 at intervals to ensure that rainwater seeping between the photovoltaic module 200 and the frame 11 can flow down through the gaps between the mounting brackets 17, preventing rainwater from accumulating around the photovoltaic module 200 and thus preventing damage to the circuit structure in the photovoltaic element 230 of the photovoltaic module 200. Multiple mounting frames 23 are also installed on the crossbeam 21 at intervals to ensure that rainwater seeping between the photovoltaic module 200 and the crossbeam 21 can flow down through the gaps between the mounting frames 23, preventing rainwater from accumulating around the photovoltaic module 200 and thus preventing damage to the circuit structure in the photovoltaic element 230 of the photovoltaic module 200.

[0064] Specifically, the frame assembly 10 also includes a current-carrying member 51 disposed inside the frame 11. In the thickness direction of the photovoltaic module 200, the mounting bracket 17 is closer to the top wall of the frame 11 than the current-carrying member 51, thereby ensuring that rainwater seeping between the photovoltaic module 200 and the frame 11 can flow into the current-carrying member 51 inside the frame 11 through the gaps between the mounting brackets 17. The crossbeam assembly 20 also includes current-carrying members 215 disposed on opposite sides of the crossbeam 21. In the thickness direction of the photovoltaic module 200, the mounting bracket 23 is closer to the top wall of the crossbeam 21 than the current-carrying member 215, thereby ensuring that rainwater seeping between the photovoltaic module 200 and the crossbeam 21 can flow into the current-carrying members 215 on opposite sides of the crossbeam 21 through the gaps between the mounting brackets 23.

[0065] Specifically, the photovoltaic element 230 is higher than the second limiting portions 21015 / 21035 of the first frame 2101 and the second limiting portions 21015 / 21035 of the second frame 2103, thereby preventing rainwater from accumulating on the surface of the photovoltaic element 230 when the photovoltaic sunshade 1000 is used in rainy weather, and further preventing the photovoltaic element 230 from being damaged by prolonged water immersion. The projection of the first frame 2101 toward the current receiving element 51 is within the range of the current receiving element 51, thereby ensuring that the current receiving element 51 can catch rainwater seeping in from between the photovoltaic element 230 and the first frame 2101. The projection of the second frame 2103 toward the current carrying element 215 is within the range of the current carrying element 215, thereby ensuring that the current carrying element 215 can catch rainwater seeping in from between the photovoltaic element 230 and the second frame 2103.

[0066] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1, 5 and 8. The beam assembly 20 includes multiple beam assemblies. The opposite ends of the multiple beam assemblies 20 are respectively connected to two opposite frame assemblies 10. Two adjacent beam assemblies 20 include a first beam assembly 25 and a second beam assembly 27. In the photovoltaic module 200 located between the first beam assembly 25 and the second beam assembly 27, the first frame 2101 is engaged with the loading component of the first beam assembly 25, and the second frame 2103 is connected with the loading component of the second beam assembly 27 through a locking assembly 300.

[0067] Understandably, if a user requires a larger photovoltaic awning 1000, the number of photovoltaic modules 200 positioned between the crossbeam components 20 and the frame components 10 can be increased by increasing the number of crossbeam components 20. As the number of photovoltaic modules 200 increases, the area of ​​the photovoltaic awning 1000 also increases until the user's needs are met. Specifically, when there is more than one crossbeam component 20, some photovoltaic modules 200 are installed between two adjacent crossbeam components 20. The two adjacent crossbeam components 20 include a first crossbeam component 25 and a second crossbeam component 27. In the photovoltaic modules 200 located between the first crossbeam component 25 and the second crossbeam component 27, a first frame 2101 is engaged with the loading component of the first crossbeam component 25, and a second frame 2103 is connected to the loading component of the second crossbeam component 27 via a locking component 300, thereby ensuring that the photovoltaic modules 200 located between the first crossbeam component 25 and the second crossbeam component 27 can be securely connected to both.

[0068] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1, 4 and 6. The photovoltaic module 200 further includes a photovoltaic element 230, and the photovoltaic frame 210 further includes two third frames 2105 and a fourth frame 2107 facing each other in a second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The first frame 2101, the third frame 2105, the second frame 2103 and the fourth frame 2107 are connected in sequence to form an installation space, and the photovoltaic element 230 is housed in the installation space. The third frame 2105 and / or the fourth frame 2107 include a frame body 21051 / 21071, an extension 21053 / 21073 disposed on the top of the frame body 21051 / 21071 and extending away from the frame body 21051 / 21071, and a limiting part 21055 / 21075 disposed on the extension 21053 / 21073 and extending toward the center of the installation space. The top of the frame body 21051 / 21071, the extension 21053 / 21073 and the limiting part 21055 / 21075 together form a limiting space, and one end of the photovoltaic component 230 is housed in the limiting space.

[0069] Specifically, the photovoltaic frame 210 also includes two third frames 2105 and a fourth frame 2107 facing each other in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. The first frame 2101, third frame 2105, second frame 2103, and fourth frame 2107 are sequentially connected and form an installation space for accommodating the photovoltaic element 230. Each of the third frame 2105 and / or the fourth frame 2107 includes a frame body 21051 / 21071, an extension 21053 / 21073, and a limiting portion 21055 / 21075. The extension 21053 / 21073 is disposed at the top of the frame body 21051 / 21071 and extends away from the frame body 21051 / 21071 to fix the photovoltaic element 230 and prevent it from moving in the second direction of the photovoltaic module 200. Restriction parts 21055 / 21075 are provided on extension parts 21053 / 21073 and extend towards the center of the installation space to fix the photovoltaic element 230 and prevent the photovoltaic element 230 from moving in the thickness direction of the photovoltaic module 200. The top of the frame body 21051 / 21071, the extension parts 21053 / 21073 and the restriction parts 21055 / 21075 together form a restriction space. One end of the photovoltaic element 230 is accommodated in the restriction space, thereby ensuring that when the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 is used in a windy environment, the photovoltaic element 230 can be firmly fixed in its original position, preventing the photovoltaic element 230 from moving in the second direction or in the thickness direction.

[0070] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 3, the photovoltaic module 200 includes multiple photovoltaic modules 200, which are respectively installed in multiple second spaces 120. The photovoltaic module 200 also includes photovoltaic elements 230, and the photovoltaic frame 210 includes a third frame 2105 and a fourth frame 2107 facing each other in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. The first frame 2101, the third frame 2105, the second frame 2103, and the fourth frame 2107 are connected sequentially to form an installation space, and the photovoltaic elements 230 are housed within the installation space; the third frame 2105 and the fourth frame 2107 of two adjacent photovoltaic modules 200 are arranged adjacent to each other. The photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 also includes a current-guiding component 59, which is connected to the third frame 2105 and the fourth frame 2107 of two adjacent photovoltaic modules 200 and extends along the first direction. The frame assembly 10 also includes a current-receiving component 51 disposed on the inner side of the frame 11. The crossbeam assembly 20 also includes current-carrying components 215 disposed on both sides of the crossbeam 21. The opposite ends of the current-guiding component 59 are respectively located above the current-receiving component 51 and the current-carrying component 215, and / or, the opposite ends of the current-guiding component 59 are respectively located above the two current-carrying components 215.

[0071] Specifically, since the photovoltaic awning 1000 has a crossbeam assembly 20 and a frame assembly 10, and photovoltaic modules 200 can be placed on both opposite sides of the crossbeam assembly 20, the number of photovoltaic modules 200 is at least two. The photovoltaic awning 1000 also includes a drainage component 59. The drainage component 59 is connected to the third frame 2105 and the fourth frame 2107 of two adjacent photovoltaic modules 200 and extends along the first direction. This allows water entering the drainage component 59 to be discharged to other locations. Therefore, the frame assembly 10 also includes a receiving component 51 disposed inside the frame 11, and the crossbeam assembly 20 also includes current-carrying components 215 disposed on both sides of the crossbeam 21. The opposite ends of the drainage component 59 are located above the receiving component 51 and the current-carrying component 215, respectively. When the photovoltaic awning 1000 is used in rainy weather, water entering the drainage component 59 will be discharged to the receiving component 51 and the current-carrying component 215. In addition, the first frame 2101, the third frame 2105, the second frame 2103, and the fourth frame 2107 are connected sequentially by corner brackets to form an installation space. When a user requires a large area of ​​photovoltaic awning 1000, i.e., when there are multiple crossbeam components 20, some photovoltaic modules 200 are located between two adjacent crossbeam components 20. In this case, the opposite ends of the diversion component 59 are located above the two current-carrying components 215. During rainy weather, water entering the diversion component 59 is diverted to the current-carrying components 215 below the opposite ends of the diversion component 59.

[0072] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1, 6, 8, and 9, the drainage component 59 includes a first drainage element 591. The first drainage element 591 extends along a first direction and has drainage cavities 5911 extending through opposite ends and an inlet 5913 facing the photovoltaic element 230. Two sidewalls of the first drainage element 591 in a second direction are respectively engaged with adjacent third frame 2105 and fourth frame 2107. The inlet 5913 allows fluid flowing from the gap between the third frame 2105 and the photovoltaic element 230 to enter the drainage cavity 5911, and allows fluid flowing from the gap between the fourth frame 2107 and the photovoltaic element 230 to enter the drainage cavity 5911. Two openings in the drainage cavity 5911 in the first direction allow fluid within the drainage cavity 5911 to flow into the receiving element 51 and / or the current-carrying element 215.

[0073] Specifically, the drainage component 59 includes a first drainage element 591. The first drainage element 591 extends along a first direction and is provided with drainage cavities 5911 penetrating both ends and an inlet 5913 facing the photovoltaic element 230. Water entering the first drainage element 591 will flow into the drainage cavity 5911 through the inlet 5913 facing the photovoltaic element 230. The first draining member 591 is respectively engaged with the adjacent third frame 2105 and fourth frame 2107 on its two side walls in the second direction. The inlet 5913 of the draining cavity 5911 facing the photovoltaic element 230 is used to allow fluid flowing from the gap between the third frame 2105 and the photovoltaic element 230 into the draining cavity 5911, and to allow fluid flowing from the gap between the fourth frame 2107 and the photovoltaic element 230 into the draining cavity 5911. The two openings of the draining cavity 5911 in the first direction are respectively used to allow the fluid in the draining cavity 5911 to flow into the receiving member 51, thereby preventing the photovoltaic element 230 from being damaged by prolonged immersion in water. For the photovoltaic element 200 placed between the frame assembly 10 and the beam assembly 20, the two openings of the draining cavity 5911 in the first direction are respectively used to allow the fluid in the draining cavity 5911 to flow into the receiving member 51 and the current-carrying member 215. For a photovoltaic module 200 placed between two adjacent beam assemblies 20, the two openings of the drainage cavity 5911 in the first direction are respectively used to allow the fluid in the drainage cavity 5911 to flow into the current-carrying member 215 of the two adjacent beam assemblies 20.

[0074] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1, 6 to 9, the drainage component 59 further includes a second drainage element 593. The second drainage element 593 is connected to the end of the first drainage element 591 in a first direction and is used to guide the fluid in the drainage cavity 5911 toward the receiving element 51 and / or the flow carrier 215.

[0075] Specifically, the drainage component 59 also includes a second drainage component 593. For the photovoltaic module 200 placed between the frame assembly 10 and the beam assembly 20, the second drainage component 593 is connected to the end of the first drainage component 591 in the first direction to prevent water from dripping off the surface of the first drainage component 591 and onto the receiving component 51 and the current carrier 215 during the flow from the drainage cavity 5911 of the first drainage component 591 to the receiving component 51 and the current carrier 215, thereby preventing users located under the photovoltaic awning 1000 from getting wet from rainwater. For the photovoltaic module 200 placed between two adjacent crossbeam assemblies 20, the second drain member 593 is connected to the end of the first drain member 591 in the first direction to prevent water from dripping off the surface of the first drain member 591 and onto the current carrier 215 as it flows from the drain cavity 5911 of the first drain member 591 to the current carrier 215, thus preventing users located under the photovoltaic awning 1000 from getting wet from rain.

[0076] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1, 3, and 6, the third frame 2105 and / or the fourth frame 2107 include a frame body 21051 / 21071, an extension 21053 / 21073 disposed on the top of the frame body 21051 / 21071 and extending away from the frame body 21051 / 21071, a limiting portion 21055 / 21075 disposed on the extension 21053 / 21073 and extending towards the center of the second space 120, and a hook portion 21057 / 21077 disposed on the bottom of the frame body 21051 / 21071 and extending towards the center of the second space 120. The top of the frame body 21051 / 21071, the extension 21053 / 21073, and the limiting portion 21055 / 21075 together form a limiting space, and one end of the photovoltaic element 230 is accommodated within the limiting space. The first drainage member 591 engages with the hook portion 21057 / 21077 on its two side walls in the second direction and is provided with a blocking portion. The blocking portion, the hook portion 21057 / 21077 and the inner side of the side wall of the first drainage member 591 in the second direction together restrict the drainage passage. The drainage passage is used to guide the fluid entering from the restricted space into the drainage cavity 5911.

[0077] Specifically, the third frame 2105 and / or the fourth frame 2107 each include a frame body 21051 / 21071, an extension 21053 / 21073, a limiting part 21055 / 21075, and a hook part 21057 / 21077. The extension 21053 / 21073 is disposed at the top of the frame body 21051 / 21071 and extends away from the frame body 21051 / 21071 to fix the photovoltaic element 230 and prevent the photovoltaic element 230 from moving in the second direction of the photovoltaic module 200. The limiting part 21055 / 21075 is disposed at the extension 21053 / 21073 and extends towards the center of the installation space to fix the photovoltaic element 230 and prevent the photovoltaic element 230 from moving in the thickness direction of the photovoltaic module 200. The top of the frame body 21051 / 21071, the extension 21053 / 21073, and the limiting part 21055 / 21075 together form a limiting space. One end of the photovoltaic element 230 is housed within the limiting space, thereby ensuring that the photovoltaic awning 1000 can be firmly fixed in its original position when used in windy conditions, preventing the photovoltaic element 230 from moving in the second direction or the thickness direction. The hook part 21057 / 21077 is provided at the bottom of the frame body 21051 / 21071 and extends towards the center of the second space 120. The two side walls of the first drain member 591 in the second direction engage with the hook part 21057 / 21077, thereby ensuring that the first drain member 591 is firmly connected to the frame body 21051 / 21071. The third frame 2105 and / or the fourth frame 2107 are also provided with a blocking part. The blocking part, the hook part 21057 / 21077 and the first drainage member 591 together restrict the drainage passage on the inner side of the side wall in the second direction. The drainage passage is used to guide the fluid entering from the restricted space into the drainage cavity 5911.

[0078] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1, 3, 6 to 9. The frame structure 100 also includes a plurality of column assemblies 30 and a first flow guide 53. The upper end of each column assembly 30 is used to connect two adjacent frame assemblies 10, and the lower end is used to connect to the surface to be fixed. The frame 11 includes a frame 11 body and a flow receiving member 51 connected to the frame 11 body. The first flow guide 53 is used to connect and communicate with the flow receiving members 51 of two adjacent frame assemblies 10. The first flow guide 53 communicates with the opening at the upper end of the column 31 of the column assembly 30. The side wall at the lower end of the column 31 is provided with a drain hole 3031. The flow receiving member 51 is used to receive fluid and guide the fluid to flow to the first flow guide 53. The first flow guide 53 is used to guide the inflowing fluid to the cavity of the column 31. The drain hole 3031 is used to discharge the fluid in the cavity of the column 31.

[0079] Specifically, the frame structure 100 also includes multiple column assemblies 30 and a first flow guide 53. The column assemblies 30 support the entire photovoltaic awning 1000. Each column assembly 30 connects to two adjacent frame assemblies 10 at its upper end, fixing them together. Each column assembly 30 also connects to the surface to be fixed at its lower end, thus securing the entire photovoltaic awning 1000 to the ground. The first flow guide 53 connects to and communicates with the receiving sections 51 of the two adjacent frame assemblies 10, allowing water from the receiving sections 51 of the two adjacent frame assemblies 10 to flow into the first flow guide 53. The first flow guide 53 communicates with the opening at the upper end of the column 31 of the column assembly 30, guiding the water flowing from the receiving sections 51 of the two adjacent frame assemblies 10 into the cavity of the column 31. The lower end of the column 31 is provided with a drain hole 3031 on the side wall. The drain hole 3031 is used to drain the liquid introduced into the cavity of the column 31 by the first guide member 53.

[0080] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1, 3, 6 to 9. The frame structure 100 also includes a second flow guide 55, which is used to connect and communicate the flow receiving parts 51 of two adjacent frame components 10. The second flow guide 55 is not connected to the opening at the upper end of the corresponding column 31.

[0081] Specifically, since the photovoltaic awning 1000 also requires external devices and systems such as external sockets, power grid systems, and energy storage systems, at least one of the column components 30 needs to house the circuitry. The column component 30 used to house the circuitry also needs to be protected from rainwater to prevent short circuits and other malfunctions. Therefore, the frame structure 100 also includes a second guide member 55, which connects and communicates with the receiving members 51 of two adjacent frame components 10. The second guide member 55 is not connected to the opening at the upper end of the corresponding column 31, thereby preventing water from the receiving members 51 of the two adjacent frame components 10 from flowing into the cavity of the column component 30 corresponding to the second guide member 55.

[0082] In summary, the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 of this application includes a photovoltaic module 200 and a frame structure 100. The photovoltaic module 200 includes a photovoltaic frame 210, which comprises two first frames 2101 and a second frame 2103 facing each other in a first direction. The frame structure 100 includes multiple side frame components 10 and crossbeam components 20. The multiple side frame components 10 surround a first space 110 for placing the photovoltaic module 200. The opposite ends of the crossbeam components 20 are respectively connected to two opposite side frame components 10, dividing the first space 110 into multiple second spaces 120 for installing the photovoltaic module 200. The crossbeam components 20 include a crossbeam 21 and mounting frames 23 disposed on opposite sides of the crossbeam 21. The mounting frames 23 ensure a secure connection between the photovoltaic module 200 and the crossbeam 21. The outermost frame assembly 10, opposite to the crossbeam assembly 20, includes a frame 11 and a mounting bracket 17 disposed inside the frame 11. The mounting bracket 17 ensures a secure connection between the photovoltaic module 200 and the frame 11. One of the mounting bracket 17 and the loading bracket 23 is engaged with the first frame 2101 of the outermost photovoltaic module 200, and the other is connected to the second frame 2103 of the outermost photovoltaic module 200 via a locking assembly 300. This further enhances the strength of the connection between the photovoltaic module 200 and the frame structure 100, preventing damage to the photovoltaic module 200 due to collisions caused by excessive wind force.
