Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of louver awnings and relates to a protective structure for columns of louver awnings. Background Art

[0002] The louver awning is a common tool in the existing technology and is used for sun protection and rain protection. It generally includes a horizontally arranged frame and a number of columns arranged at intervals along the circumference of the frame. Specifically, the frame is generally square or rectangular, and is hinged with a number of louvers connected together by a connecting rod mechanism. The number of columns is generally set to four, and they are set at the circumferential corners of the frame. The four columns effectively support the frame, and the motor is combined with the connecting rod mechanism or the hand wheel is combined with the connecting rod mechanism to realize the flipping and opening and closing of each louver.

[0003] Currently, there are many ways to connect the columns and frames. The most common ones generally include snap connections and screw connections. Screw connections are more widely used due to their higher strength. Specifically, a number of holes that are located opposite to each other are opened on the columns and the frames. After the screws pass through the holes on the columns, they are screwed to the holes on the frame to fix the columns and the frames. However, since the louver awning is used outdoors, it will be exposed to wind and sun for a long time, and the invasion of rain and snow will cause the screws to oxidize to varying degrees. As a result, during subsequent maintenance and repairs, the screws will often be stripped when removed. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the screws by force. However, this method can easily cause the columns to deform, and even make the columns unusable. New columns can only be replaced, which increases the cost of use and seriously affects the service life of the louver awning. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems in the existing technology and propose a protective structure for the columns of the louver awning. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: how to increase the service life of the louver awning.

[0005] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: a protective structure for the columns of a louver awning, the louver awning includes a horizontally arranged frame, the upper ends of the columns are fixed to the corners of the frame by three screws, the protective structure includes a protective cover, a water baffle is provided at the corners of the upper side of the frame, and the water baffle and the column are detachably connected, the protective cover is detachably connected to the water baffle and seals several of the screws.

[0006] In the protective structure of the columns of the louver tent, the louver tent includes a horizontal arrangement and a plurality of louver blades that are hinged internally and can be opened and closed. The upper ends of the columns are against the corners of the frame and are screwed and locked with three screws to achieve support for the frame. Water retaining plates are installed on the upper side of the frame at each circumferential corner. The main function of the water retaining plates is to block rainwater that falls on the top of the frame, thereby preventing rainwater from penetrating into the interior of the columns through the gap between the frame and the columns to achieve a waterproof and water-proof effect. On this basis, the present application realizes a waterproof and water-proof effect by detachably mounting the protective cover on the outer wall of the upper end of the column. Specifically, the protective cover is connected to the water baffle in a detachable manner, thereby ensuring the stable installation of the protective cover, and the protective cover covers the heads of several screws on the outer wall of the upper end of the column, thereby effectively protecting the heads of the screws, preventing the heads of the screws from being quickly oxidized by external factors, preventing the screws from rusting, ensuring the structural integrity of the screws, and ensuring that the screws can be disassembled and assembled normally during maintenance work, avoiding deformation of the column caused by violent disassembly, effectively reducing the cost of use and increasing the service life of the louver.

[0007] In the aforementioned protective structure for the louvered awning's columns, the columns are provided with a plurality of connection holes for the screws to pass through, and a plurality of receiving slots are provided on the columns' outer walls. The receiving slots are arranged one-to-one around the connection holes, and the heads of the screws are embedded in the receiving slots. The depth of the receiving slots is greater than the thickness of the heads of the screws. The provision of the receiving slots ensures that the heads of the screws are more effectively accommodated, preventing the heads of the screws from protruding from the outer wall of the column, ensuring a higher fit between the inner wall of the protective cover and the outer wall of the column, and effectively preventing rainwater intrusion.

[0008] In the aforementioned protective structure for the louvered awning's columns, the protective structure also includes several screws 1. The protective cover is L-shaped and snaps onto the outer sidewall of the column's upper end. The top of the protective cover has two connecting portions that overlap the water baffle, and the connecting portions are screwed and locked to the water baffle via screws 1. Although the exposed screws 1 may rust, since the protective cover is only connected to the water baffle, deformation of the column's upper end caused by the violent removal of the screws 1 during disassembly and maintenance is avoided. Only small components such as the water baffle and protective cover may be deformed, thereby ensuring lower replacement costs.

[0009] In the aforementioned protective structure for the louvered awning's columns, the protective cover is bent on both sides to form protective sections. Each section mates with the outer wall of the frame, and the bends form an arc-shaped transition. The protective sections provide more effective circumferential protection for the upper end of the column, preventing rainwater from seeping through the side gaps. The arc-shaped transitions also ensure a smoother outer surface for the protective cover, preventing injuries from bumps.

[0010] In the protective structure of the above-mentioned columns of the louvered canopy, the columns have an L-shaped reinforcement plate inside, and the side walls of the reinforcement plate have a number of connecting ribs arranged vertically, and each of the connecting ribs is bent horizontally to form a screw groove, and the water retaining plate and the screw groove of the connecting rib are screwed and locked by screw two. The provision of the reinforcement plate can further improve the structural strength of the upper end of the column, while ensuring a firm connection between the water retaining plate and the protective cover by screw two. It is worth mentioning that although some screws two may rust when exposed, since they are connected to the reinforcement plate with higher structural strength, there is no direct force between them and the column body, thereby avoiding damage to the structure of the upper end of the column during violent demolition. In addition, due to the structural strength of the reinforcement plate itself, only the water retaining plate may be deformed, ensuring a lower replacement cost.

[0011] Compared with the existing technology, the protective structure of the columns of the louver awning has the following advantages:

[0012] The protective cover is detachably connected to the water baffle fixed on the frame by screw 1, so that the protective cover covers several screws 1 on the column for connecting the column and the frame, preventing several screws 3 from being eroded by rainwater for a long time and oxidizing and rusting, ensuring the normal disassembly and assembly of screws 3 during maintenance and repair, avoiding deformation of the column caused by violent dismantling, and improving the service life of the louver tent.
