[0003] In the related art, the bracket structure mainly includes a first member (such as a column), a second member (such as a main beam) and bolt fasteners. The main beam can be installed on the column in the following manner. For example, a groove is formed at the top end of the column, the main beam is horizontally inserted into the groove, and the groove edge of the column and the main beam are connected by bolt fasteners; wherein, the main beam and the column are arranged at an angle.

[0004] However, the inventor has recognized that in actual use, since a groove is formed at the top end of the column, the bending stiffness at the top groove where the column and the main beam are connected is weak, which may cause risks such as fatigue deformation at the connection between the two, thereby affecting the safety and stability of the bracket structure. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] One or more embodiments of the present application provide a hoop connecting piece to solve or at least partially alleviate the problem that when the first member of the related art is clamped with the second member by an open-top manner, fatigue deformation and other risks are likely to occur at the connection between the two, affecting the safety and stability of the bracket structure.

The first hoop and the second hoop surround to form a first installation cavity and a second installation cavity. The first installation cavity is for inserting a first member of the bracket structure, and the second installation cavity is for the second member of the bracket structure to pass through. The insertion direction of the first member inserted into the first installation cavity and the insertion direction of the second member inserted into the second installation cavity are arranged at an angle. The fastening device is used to connect the hoop structure, the first member and the second member.

[0008] Compared with the related art, one or more embodiments of the present application include at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0009] The first member and the second member in the support structure can be assembled by a hoop connecting member in the following manner.

The second member, such as a main beam, is passed through the second installation cavity, and then the first hoop and the second hoop are connected and fixed to the second member through the fastening device to complete the assembly operation of the hoop structure and the second member. In other words, during the assembly process of the first member and the second member, it is not necessary to pre-open the top end of the first member, such as a column, to ensure the bending stiffness of the first member, so that after the first member and the second member are assembled through the fastening device, the first hoop and the second hoop in the hoop connecting member, risks such as fatigue deformation are not likely to occur at the connection between the first member and the second member, thereby ensuring the assembly safety and stability of the first member and the second member in the support structure.

[0054] Figure 1 It is one of the exploded structural schematic diagrams of the bracket structure according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0055] One or more embodiments of the present application disclose a hoop connector. Refer to Figure 1, the hoop connecting member includes a fastening device 100 and a hoop structure 3. Among them, the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b surround each other to form a first installation cavity 301 and a second installation cavity 302. The first installation cavity 301 is used for inserting the first member 4 of the bracket structure, and the second installation cavity 302 is used for the second member 5 of the bracket structure to pass through. The insertion direction of the first member 4 inserted into the first installation cavity 301 and the insertion direction of the second member 5 inserted into the second installation cavity 302 are arranged at an angle. The fastening device 100 is used to connect the hoop structure 3, the first member 4 and the second member 5.

[0056] Specifically, the first member 4 can be vertically arranged, the second member 5 can be horizontally arranged, or the second member 5 forms an angle with the horizontal plane. The first installation cavity 301 and the second installation cavity 302 can be formed by the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b surrounding each other. The top of the first member 4 is used to be inserted into the first installation cavity 301, and the second member 5 can be horizontally inserted into the second installation cavity 302. Subsequently, the hoop structure 3, the first member 4 and the second member 5 can be connected and fixed by the fastening device 100.

[0057] Among them, the number of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b is at least one.

[0058] The insertion direction of the first member 4 inserted into the first installation cavity 301 can Figure 1 be parallel to the Z-axis direction in the coordinate system, and the insertion direction of the second member 5 inserted into the second installation cavity 302 can Figure 1 be parallel to the Y-axis direction in the coordinate system. Therefore, the insertion direction of the first member 4 inserted into the first installation cavity 301 and the insertion direction of the second member 5 inserted into the second installation cavity 302 are arranged at an angle, such as perpendicular.

[0059] In at least one embodiment, the first component 4 and the second component 5 in the support structure can be assembled by a clamp connector in the following manner, wherein the clamp connector includes a fastening device 100 and a clamp structure 3, and the clamp structure 3 includes a first clamp 3a and a second clamp 3b. For example, the first clamp 3a and the second clamp 3b are enclosed to form a first installation cavity 301 and a second installation cavity 302. The top end of the first component 4, such as a column, can be inserted into the first installation cavity 301301, and then the first clamp 3a and the second clamp 3b are connected and fixed to the first component 4 by the fastening device 100 to realize the assembly operation of the clamp structure 3 and the first component 4; the second component 5, such as a main beam, is inserted into the second installation cavity 302, and then the first clamp 3a and the second clamp 3b are connected and fixed to the second component 5 by the fastening device 100 to realize the assembly operation of the clamp structure 3 and the second component 5. In other words, during the assembly process of the first component 4 and the second component 5, there is no need to pre-open the top end of the first component 4, such as a column, to ensure the bending stiffness of the first component 4, so that after the first component 4 and the second component 5 are assembled through the fastening device 100, the first clamp 3a and the second clamp 3b in the clamp connector, it is not easy to produce risks such as fatigue deformation at the connection between the first component 4 and the second component 5, thereby ensuring the assembly safety and stability of the first component 4 and the second component 5 in the support structure.

[0060] Figure 2 This is one of the schematic diagrams of a partial explosion structure of a support structure according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0061] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 2 As shown, the first clamp 3a and the second clamp 3b respectively include a first side plate 31, the first side plates 31 of the first clamp 3a and the second clamp 3b are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and the first installation cavity 301 and the second installation cavity 302 arranged along the second direction are formed between the first side plates 31 of the first clamp 3a and the second clamp 3b; the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction;

[0062] The fastening device 100 includes a first fastener 1 , which connects the first side plate 31 and the first component 4 ; and / or the fastening device 100 includes a second fastener 2 , which connects the first side plate 31 and the second component 5 .

[0063] In at least one embodiment, the first direction may be Figure 2 The second direction is parallel to the X-axis direction of the coordinate system. Figure 2The Z-axis direction of the coordinate system is parallel, so the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The two first side plates 31 can be arranged at intervals along the first direction on the opposite sides of the first member 4. The first side plates 31 and the first member 4 corresponding to the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b can be connected by the first fastener 1 to realize the connection and fixation of the two first hoops 3a and the second hoops 3b to the first member 4.

[0064] The second member 5 can be passed through between the first side plates 31 corresponding to the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b and is located above the first member 4. The first side plates 31 and the second member 5 corresponding to the two hoops can be connected by the second fastener 2 to realize the connection and fixation of the two hoops to the second member 5.

[0065] The number of the first fastener 1 and the second fastener 2 is at least one. The first fastener 1 and the second fastener 2 can adopt bolt fasteners, weld seams formed by welding, or mortise and tenon structures, etc. In Figure 3 it, the number of the first fastener 1 and the second fastener 2 is two respectively. Since the first fastener 1 and the second fastener 2 can be arranged at intervals along the second direction, on the basis of assembling the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b with the first member 4 and the second member 5 through the first fastener 1 and the second fastener 2, the installation process of the first fastener 1 and the second fastener 2 will not cause interference in position, and the convenience of assembling the first member 4 and the second member 5 through the hoop connector is correspondingly improved.

[0066] Figure 3 It is one of the schematic assembly structures of the bracket structure according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0067] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 2 and Figure 3 as shown, the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b each further include a second side plate 32. The second side plate 32 is located at one end of the first side plate 31 along the third direction and is connected to the first side plate 31 at an angle. The dimension of the first side plate 31 along the second direction is greater than the dimension of the second side plate 32 along the second direction; the second side plates 32 of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b are arranged at intervals along the third direction. The first side plates 31 and the two second side plates 32 corresponding to the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b together enclose the first installation cavity 301; the end of the first side plate 31 of at least one of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b along the second direction protrudes from the corresponding second side plate 32, and the part of the first side plate 31 of at least one of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b that protrudes from the corresponding second side plate 32 encloses the second installation cavity 302; the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction respectively.

[0068] In at least one embodiment, the first side plate 31 and the second side plate 32 may be an integral structure to improve the mechanical strength of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b. The included angle between the first side plate 31 and the second side plate 32 may match the inner angle of the corner of the first member 4, such as a column. For example, if the first member 4 is a cuboid structure, the included angle between the first side plate 31 and the second side plate 32 may be 90 degrees; if the end face shape of the first member 4 in the second direction is a parallelogram, the included angle between the first side plate 31 and the second side plate 32 may be an acute angle or an obtuse angle.

[0069] The first direction may be parallel to the Figure 3 X-axis direction in the coordinate system, and the second direction may be parallel to the Figure 3 Z-axis direction in the coordinate system, and the third direction may be parallel to the Figure 3 Y-axis direction in the coordinate system. Therefore, the third direction may be perpendicular to the second direction and the first direction respectively.

[0070] The second side plates 32 of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b may be arranged at intervals along the third direction on the opposite sides of the first member 4, such as a column. Therefore, the lower parts of the two first side plates 31 and the two second side plates 32 may jointly enclose a rectangular frame structure, and the first installation cavity 301 is provided inside the rectangular frame structure.

[0071] That at least one of the first side plates 31 of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b protrudes from the corresponding second side plate 32 along the second direction means that the end of the first side plate 31 of the first hoop 3a along the second direction protrudes from the corresponding second side plate 32, or the end of the first side plate 31 of the second hoop 3b along the second direction protrudes from the corresponding second side plate 32, or the ends of the corresponding first side plates 31 of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b along the second direction both protrude from the corresponding second side plates 32.

[0072] The fact that the dimension of the first side plate 31 along the second direction is greater than the dimension of the second side plate 32 along the second direction means that, in the second direction, the length of the first side plate 31 is greater than the length of the second side plate 32. The parts where the two first side plates 31 are higher than the two second side plates 32 (such as the upper parts of the two first side plates 31) can enclose a second installation cavity 302. Among them, the second component 5 can be arranged to extend along the third direction, so the second component 5 can pass through the second installation cavity 302. When a part of the second component 5 is in the second installation cavity 302, the end of the first component 4 along the second direction, such as the top end, and the two second side plates 32 can support the second component 5 from below. After the second fastener 2 passes through the two first side plates 31 and the second component 5, on the basis of the two second side plates 32 and the first component 4 supporting the second component 5, the pressure exerted on the second fastener 2 by the second component 5 is correspondingly reduced, and the possibility of fatigue deformation of the second fastener 2 is reduced. Thus, on the basis of ensuring the assembly stability of the first component 4 and the second component 5, the service life is extended.

[0073] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 3 As shown, the fastening device 100 further includes a third fastener 6, and the third fastener 6 is used to sequentially pass through the second side plate 32 of the first hoop 3a, the first component 4 and connect the second side plate 32 of the second hoop 3b.

[0074] In at least one embodiment, the third fastener 6 may have the same structure as the first fastener 1 and the second fastener 2. For example, a bolt fastener, a weld formed by welding, or a mortise and tenon structure, etc. may be adopted.

[0075] When the third fastener 6 is a bolt fastener, the third fastener 6 can pass through the second side plate 32 of the first hoop 3a, the first component 4 and the second side plate 32 of the second hoop 3b to realize the connection and fixation of the corresponding second side plates 32 of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b and the first component 4; since the first fastener 1 passes through the corresponding first side plates 31 of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b and the first component 4, among which, the first fastener 1 can be arranged to extend along the first direction, and the third fastener 6 can be arranged to extend along the third direction, so that the first fastener 1 and the third fastener 6 can connect and fasten the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b and the first component 4 from two different orientations. In other words, by increasing the connection point area and quantity between the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b and the first component 4, the assembly stability of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b and the first component 4 is further improved.

Figure 6 The third schematic exploded structure diagram of the hoop connecting member according to some embodiments of the present application. Figure 7 The third schematic assembly structure diagram of the support structure according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0077] In some embodiments, in combination with Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b further include locking edge portions 33 respectively. One end of the second side plate 32 away from the first side plate 31 is bent toward the inner side of the first installation cavity 301 to form the locking edge portion 33. The locking edge portion 33 of the first hoop 3a is used for clamping with the first side plate 31 of the second hoop 3b.

[0078] In at least one embodiment, the locking edge portion 33 may be provided only on the second side plate 32 of the first hoop 3a or the second hoop 3b, or the locking edge portion 33 may be provided on the second side plates 32 of both the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b.

[0079] Taking the example of the locking edge portion 33 provided on the second side plate 32 of the first hoop 3a, for example, one end of the second side plate 32 along the first direction is connected to the first side plate 31 at an angle, and one end of the second side plate 32 away from the first side plate 31 is bent toward the inner side of the first installation cavity 301 to form the locking edge portion 33. Therefore, the locking edge portion 33 and the second side plate 32 may be an integral structure, correspondingly improving the mechanical strength of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b.

[0080] In combination with Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, when the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b are in the installed state on the first member 4, the locking edge portions 33 of the first hoop 3a and the locking edge portions of the second hoop 3b are disposed opposite to each other.

[0081] After the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b are sleeved on the outer side of the top of the first member 4, the first fastener 1 can be passed through the first side plates 31 of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b and the first member 4 to realize the assembly operation of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b with the first member 4; the locking edge portion 33 of the first hoop 3a is clamped with the first side plate 31 of the second hoop 3b to improve the connection strength of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b along the first direction through the first fastener 1 and the locking edge portion 33, not only strengthening the connection stability between the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b and the first member 4, but also improving the assembly convenience of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b.

[0082] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the first side plate 31 includes a plate body 311 and a protruding portion 312. A part of the first side plate 31 protrudes towards the outside of the first installation cavity 301 to form the protruding portion 312. The locking edge portion 33 of the first hoop 3a is used to be clamped with the protruding portion 312 of the second hoop 3b.

[0083] In at least one embodiment, that a part of the first side plate 31 protrudes towards the outside of the first installation cavity 301 to form the protruding portion 312 means that the protruding portion 312 can be formed by bending the part between the two ends of the first side plate 31 along the third direction by a cold bending forming process or a stamping process. The protruding portion 312 can extend along the second direction. Since the first side plate 31 includes the plate body 311 and the protruding portion 312, and the protruding portion 312 can be formed by bending the part between the two ends of the first side plate 31 along the third direction, the bending stiffness, torsional stiffness and lateral stiffness of the first side plate 31 can be improved, so that the joint strength and stiffness between the first member 4 and the second member 5 are better, the pressure-bearing capacity is higher, and the anti-deformation ability is stronger.

[0084] The locking edge portion 33 of the first hoop 3a is used to be clamped with the protruding portion 312 of the second hoop 3b, which not only improves the assembly convenience of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b, but also can prevent the two from separating by the clamping of the locking edge portion 33 and the protruding portion 312, and correspondingly improves the assembly stability of the two with the first member 4.

[0085] At least one protruding portion 312 is provided on the plate body 311 of the first side plate 31. In Figure 5 two protruding portions 312 are provided on the plate body 311, and the two protruding portions 312 are spaced apart along the third direction; in Figure 7 one protruding portion 312 is provided on the plate body 311.

[0086] In some embodiments, as shown in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 7 the first fastener 1 passes through the plate body 311 and the first member 4, the second fastener 2 passes through the plate body 311 and the second member 5, and neither the first fastener 1 nor the second fastener 2 protrudes from the plane where the protruding portion 312 is located.

[0087] In at least one embodiment, the first fastener 1 passes through the plate body 311 and the first member 4 to realize the assembly operation of the corresponding first side plate 31 of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b with the first member 4. The second fastener 2 passes through the plate body 311 and the second member 5 to realize the assembly operation of the corresponding second side plate 32 of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b with the second member 5.

[0088] The plate body 311 can be the flat part of the first side plate 31, and the convex part 312 can be the convex part 312 of the first side plate 31. Since the convex part 312 is formed by bending the side wall of the first side plate 31 towards the outside of the first installation cavity 301, the outer wall of the convex part 312 and the surface of the plate body 311 are not in the same plane. Since the first fastener 1 and the second fastener 2 are arranged at intervals in the third direction, and the first fastener 1 and the second fastener 2 do not protrude from the plane where the convex part 312 is located, it is equivalent that the convex part 312 has a certain shielding and hiding effect on the first fastener 1 and the second fastener 2, so as to improve the neatness of the outer surfaces of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b.

[0089] Among them, that the first fastener 1 and the second fastener 2 do not protrude from the plane where the convex part 312 is located means that the end faces of the first fastener 1 and the second fastener 2 can be between the plane where the convex part 312 is located and the plane where the plate body 311 is located, or the end faces of the first fastener 1 and the second fastener 2 can be flush with the plane where the convex part 312 is located. The end face shape of the convex part 312 in the second direction can be arc-shaped or polygonal, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0090] Figure 8 FIG. 4 is an exploded structural schematic diagram of a hoop connecting member according to some embodiments of the present application. Figure 9 FIG. 4 is an exploded structural schematic diagram of a bracket structure according to some embodiments of the present application. Figure 10 FIG. 4 is an assembled structural schematic diagram of a bracket structure according to some embodiments of the present application. Figure 15 This is an exploded structural schematic diagram of a hoop connecting member in an embodiment of the present application.

[0091] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 8 to 10 、 Figure 15 shown, the second hoop 3b further includes a locking portion 34. One end of the first side plate 31 of the second hoop 3b in the second direction bends towards the inside of the second installation cavity 302 to form the locking portion 34. The locking portion 34 and the parts of the two first side plates 31 protruding from the corresponding second side plates 32 together enclose the second installation cavity 302.

[0092] In at least one embodiment, referring to Figure 15 shown, a locking portion 34 can be provided at one end of the first side plate 31 of the second hoop 3b in the second direction. Taking the locking portion 34 provided on the first side plate 31 of the second hoop 3b as an example for illustration, for example, one end of the first side plate 31 in the second direction, such as the top end, bends towards the inside of the second installation cavity 302 to form the locking portion 34. Therefore, the locking portion 34 and the first side plate 31 can be an integral structure, and accordingly, the mechanical strength of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b is improved.

[0093] After the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b are sleeved on the outer side of the top of the first member 4, the first fastener 1 can be passed through the first side plates 31 of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b and the first member 4 to realize the assembly operation of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b with the first member 4; the locking portion 34 can be substantially in an inverted U-shaped structure, and the locking portion 34 can be sleeved on the outside of the second member 5 from above, so as to perform upper limit positioning on the second member 5 from the second direction, for example, above, further improving the assembly stability of the first member 4 and the second member 5.

[0094] Combined with Figures 8 to 10 As shown, on the basis of providing the edge-locking portion 33 on the second side plates 32 of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b, the locking portion 34 can also be provided at one end of the first side plate 31 of the second hoop 3b along the second direction; of course, the locking portion 34 can also be provided on the second side plate 32 of the first hoop 3a. Combined with Figure 8 As shown, when the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b are in the installed state on the first member 4, the edge-locking portions 33 of the first hoop 3a and the edge-locking portions 33 of the second hoop 3b are arranged oppositely.

[0095] The edge-locking portion 33 can be provided only on one of the second side plates 32 of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b, or the edge-locking portion 33 can be provided on the second side plates 32 of both the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b.

[0096] Taking the example of providing the edge-locking portion 33 on the second side plate 32 of one hoop, for example, one end of the second side plate 32 along the first direction is angularly connected to the first side plate 31, and the end of the second side plate 32 away from the first side plate 31 is bent towards the inner side direction of the first installation cavity 301 to form the edge-locking portion 33. Therefore, the edge-locking portion 33 and the second side plate 32 can be an integral structure, correspondingly improving the mechanical strength of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b.

[0097] After the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b are sleeved on the outer side of the top of the first member 4, the first fastener 1 can be passed through the first side plates 31 of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b and the first member 4 to realize the assembly operation of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b with the first member 4; the locking edge portion 33 of the first hoop 3a is clamped with the first side plate 31 of the second hoop 3b, so as to improve the connection strength of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b in the first direction through the first fastener 1 and the locking edge portion 33, which not only strengthens the connection stability between the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b and the first member 4, but also improves the assembly convenience of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b; in addition, the locking portion 34 can be substantially in an inverted U-shaped structure, and the locking portion 34 can be sleeved on the outside of the second member 5 from above, so as to perform upper limit on the second member 5 from the second direction, such as above, through the locking portion 34, further improving the assembly stability of the first member 4 and the second member 5.

[0098] Figure 11 It is the fifth exploded structure diagram of the bracket structure according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0099] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 11 the hoop connecting member further includes an adjusting block 7, the adjusting block 7 is used to be arranged in the second installation cavity 302 and is located between the first side plate 31 and the second member 5, and the first side plates 31, the adjusting block 7, and the second member 5 of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b are connected by the second fastener 2.

[0100] Specifically, the adjusting block 7 can be in a block structure, a strip structure, a cylindrical structure, a plate structure, a channel steel structure, etc. As long as the adjusting block 7 in various shapes that can reduce the interval between the first side plate 31 and the second member 5 is applicable to this technical solution, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0101] In at least one embodiment, if the cross-sectional area of the second member 5 along the Figure 11 plane of XZ in the coordinate system is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the first member 4 along the Figure 11 plane of XZ in the coordinate system, an adjusting block 7 can be added between the two first side plates 31 corresponding to the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b. At this time, the adjusting block 7 can be located between the second member 5 and the first side plate 31 of the hoop structure 3, so as to further reduce the interval between the second member 5 and the first side plate 31 through the adjusting block 7. After the second fastener 2 connects the first side plates 31, the second member 5, and the adjusting block 7 of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b respectively, the swaying allowance between the second member 5 and the first side plate 31 of the hoop structure 3 can be reduced, thereby improving the connection stability between the second member 5 and the hoop structure 3, and further being applicable to the assembly operation of the second member 5 and the first member 4 with different cross-sections.

[0102] Figure 12 The fifth schematic assembly structure diagram of the bracket structure according to some embodiments of the present application. Figure 13 The sixth exploded structure diagram of the bracket structure according to some embodiments of the present application. Figure 14 The sixth schematic assembly structure diagram of the bracket structure according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0103] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 to 14 the hoop connecting member includes one adjusting block 7, and the adjusting block 7 is installed between the first side plate 31 of the first hoop 3a or the second hoop 3b and the second member 5; or, the hoop connecting member includes two adjusting blocks 7, and the two adjusting blocks 7 are arranged at intervals along the first direction and are located on opposite sides of the second member 5. One adjusting block 7 is installed between one side wall of the second member 5 and the first side plate 31 of the first hoop 3a, and the other adjusting block 7 is installed between the other side wall of the second member 5 and the first side plate 31 of the second hoop 3b.

[0104] In at least one embodiment, as shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14 the hoop connecting member includes an adjusting block 7. When the second member 5 is eccentrically installed relative to the first member 4, at least one adjusting block 7 can be installed between the first side plate 31 of the first hoop 3a or the second hoop 3b and the second member 5. Subsequently, the second fastener 2 can be passed through the first side plates 31 of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b, the adjusting block 7 and the second member 5 to achieve the eccentric installation of the second member 5 relative to the first member 4.

[0105] Wherein, the second member 5 being eccentrically installed relative to the first member 4 means that the center of gravity extension line of the second member 5 parallel to the second direction is parallel to the center of gravity extension line of the first member 4 parallel to the second direction. In other words, the center of gravity extension lines of the two do not coincide.

[0106] As shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12 the hoop connecting member includes an adjusting block 7. When the second member 5 is centrally installed relative to the first member 4, at least one adjusting block 7 can be installed between the first side plate 31 of the first hoop 3a and one side wall of the second member 5, and the same number and size of adjusting blocks 7 are also installed between the first side plate 31 of the second hoop 3b and the other side wall of the second member 5. Subsequently, the second fastener 2 can be passed through the first side plates 31 of the first hoop 3a and the second hoop 3b, the adjusting block 7 and the second member 5 to achieve the central installation of the second member 5 relative to the first member 4.

[0107] Among them, the fact that the second component 5 is installed centered relative to the first component 4 means that the center of gravity extension line of the second component 5 parallel to the second direction coincides with the center of gravity extension line of the first component 4 parallel to the second direction.

[0108] Since the above-mentioned hoop connector can be used for the installation of the first component 4 and the second component 5 with the same cross-section or different cross-sections of the first component 4 and the second component 5, the application range of the hoop connector can be expanded.

[0109] One or more embodiments of the present application also disclose a support structure. The support structure includes a first component 4, a second component 5, and the hoop connector as described in the above embodiments.

[0110] In at least one embodiment, the first component 4 and the second component 5 are arranged at an angle. The support structure can be a photovoltaic support, a main support of a building, etc. As long as various support structures having the first component 4 and the second component 5 arranged at an angle are applicable to the technical solution of the present application, no specific limitation is made here.

[0111] In addition, the angle between the first component 4 and the second component 5 in the support structure can be installed at a right angle or an oblique angle.

[0112] The support structure at least has all the technical effects of the above-mentioned hoop connector, which will not be elaborated here.

[0114] In at least one embodiment, the photovoltaic panel can be installed on the second component 5 in the support structure.
