DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0025] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "inner" and "outer" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientations or positional relationships in which the product of this application is typically placed when in use. These terms are intended solely to facilitate the description of this application and simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" and the like are used solely for distinction and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0026] It should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed" and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1a As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a pointed roof, comprising: a supporting base frame 10, and a roof arranged on the supporting base frame 10, wherein a connection between the roof and the supporting base frame 10 forms a pointed roof angle θ which is set at an angle to the horizontal line, and the pointed roof angle θ is between 5° and 65°.

[0028] The support frame 10 supports the roof, wherein Figure 1bAs shown, the support frame 10 can be formed by connecting the leg tubes 10a and the connecting beams 10c; the ceiling is a pointed ceiling, which can be formed by connecting the inclined beams 11 to each other, and the ceiling is provided with openable and closable shutters 10b for use according to user needs.

[0029] A peak angle θ is formed between the connection between the roof and the support frame 10 and the horizontal line. Different peak angles θ result in different roof slopes. Setting the peak angle θ between 5° and 65° creates a certain slope for the roof, which facilitates drainage, snow removal, and ventilation of the peak roof, prevents pressure on the roof caused by accumulated water and snow, improves the structural stability of the peak roof, and enhances the performance and customer experience of the peak roof.

[0030] Preferably, the apex angle θ is between 14° and 45°.

[0031] When the apex angle θ is 14°, it can be analyzed from the following dimensions:

[0032] (1) Balance between gravity and friction: When a water droplet falls on a sloping ceiling, it is affected by both gravity and friction. Gravity can be decomposed into components parallel to the sloping ceiling and perpendicular to it. The water droplet will only begin to move when the gravity component parallel to the sloping ceiling is greater than the friction.

[0033] (2) Static friction coefficient: Different material surfaces have different static friction coefficients. For most common ceiling materials, an angle of about 14° is sufficient to make the gravity component exceed the static friction force.

[0034] (3) Surface tension: A water drop forms a tiny meniscus on the surface, which is caused by surface tension. A slope of about 14° can provide enough gravity to overcome this surface tension effect.

[0035] (4) Principles of fluid mechanics: At smaller angles, the water flow is laminar and slow. As the angle increases to about 14°, the water flow begins to transform into turbulent flow, which is faster and more efficient.

[0036] (5) Critical Angle Formula: Ideally, the critical value of the apex angle θ can be calculated using the formula tanθ = μ, where μ is the static friction coefficient of the ceiling material. For many common ceiling materials, this calculated value is close to 14°.

[0037] (6) Consideration of water drop size: The 14° slope can effectively drain water droplets of various sizes, from small raindrops to large raindrops.

[0038] (7) Material properties: Different roofing materials (such as tiles, metal sheets, asphalt, etc.) have different surface properties. 14° is an angle that can accommodate most common roofing materials.

[0039] (8) Safety factor: 14° includes a certain safety margin to cope with various adverse conditions (such as wind, temperature changes, etc.).

[0040] When the angle of the apex angle θ is 45°: When the slope of the sloping roof exceeds 45°, the water flow rate may be too fast, increasing the risk of erosion.

[0041] On this basis, considering the snow removal effect, the preferred angle range of the peak angle θ is about 30 degrees. A slope of about 30 degrees can provide sufficient flow rate without causing excessive erosion.

[0042] (1) Balance between friction and gravity: The sliding of snow on the roof is affected by gravity and friction. The 30° slope provides enough gravity to overcome the friction between the snow and the roof surface.

[0043] (2) Physical properties of snow: Snow density, structure, and temperature affect its sliding characteristics. A 30° slope is suitable for a variety of snow types, from dry powder to wet snow.

[0044] (3) Critical Angle Theory: Research shows that the critical angle at which snow begins to slide naturally is about 30° to 35°. A slope of 30° is close to this critical point, which can promote the sliding of snow without creating an overly steep roof.

[0045] (4) Snow load calculation: In construction projects, the slope factor is taken into account when calculating snow loads. A 30° slope can significantly reduce the vertical snow load on the roof.

[0046] (5) Wind effect: A 30° slope can promote the sliding of snow under the action of wind. This angle can utilize wind power without causing excessive wind resistance.

[0047] (6) Heat conduction considerations: A 30° slope facilitates heat transfer from the interior of the roof to the exterior, promoting snow melting. This helps prevent ice dams from forming and reduces the risk of roof leaks.

[0048] If the ventilation effect is taken into consideration, the preferred angle is: 22.5 to 30 degrees.

[0049] (1) Aerodynamics: This angle range creates a smaller pressure difference when the wind hits the roof surface. A smaller pressure difference means the wind exerts less upward force on the roof, reducing the risk of the roof being lifted.

[0050] (2) Bernoulli effect: When wind blows across the ceiling, this angle range can reduce the acceleration of the airflow above the ceiling, thereby reducing the formation of negative pressure. Reducing negative pressure helps reduce the risk of ceiling materials being sucked up or damaged.

[0051] (3) Streamlined design principle: The slope of 22.5° to 30° creates a relatively streamlined profile, which helps the wind flow smoothly over the roof. The streamlined design reduces the formation of turbulence and reduces the impact of wind on the roof.

[0052] (4) Wind coefficient: Within this angle range, the roof’s wind coefficient is low. A low wind coefficient means the overall force exerted by the wind on the roof is small.

[0053] (5) Balance between gravity and wind: This slope range provides sufficient gravity to ensure good drainage while not being too steep to increase the area affected by wind.

[0054] (6) Critical Angle Theory: Research shows that at around 30°, the wind's impact on the ceiling begins to increase significantly. The range of 22.5° to 30° is just below this critical point.

[0055] (7) Computer fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation: CFD simulation shows that this angle range can effectively reduce the formation of vortex around the roof.

[0056] On the other hand, Figure 1a As shown, the height H of the pointed roof in the vertical direction is between 2.2m and 4m. Preferably, the height H of the pointed roof in the vertical direction is between 2.5m and 3.5m.

[0057] The above-mentioned height H range can ensure the stability of the pointed roof without increasing excessive wind resistance; it is also beneficial for the pavilion to resist natural factors such as wind and rain; and it can provide good sunshade effects without excessively blocking natural light.

[0058] In addition, the pointed roof of the present application has different structures. In some embodiments, such as Figure 1a As shown, the ceiling includes two groups of oppositely arranged inclined beams 11, which are arranged at an angle to the horizontal line. One end of the two groups of inclined beams 11 are connected to form a triangular ceiling, and the other ends of the two groups of inclined beams 11 are respectively connected to the supporting base frame 10.

[0059] The triangular ceiling has a beautiful appearance and a larger space area at the top, which is conducive to the ventilation of the entire ceiling. In addition, it can be applied to some special occasions with special needs.

[0060] In other embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the ceiling includes two groups of inclined beams 11 and cross beams 13 connected between the two groups of inclined beams 11 to form a flat pointed ceiling. The inclined beams 11 are set at an angle to the horizontal line, and the cross beams 13 are parallel to the horizontal line. The other ends of the two groups of inclined beams 11 are respectively connected to the supporting base frame 10.

[0061] Compared with the above-mentioned triangular roof, the flat pointed roof connects two inclined beams 11 through a cross beam 13 to form a trapezoidal roof structure.

[0062] The flat-top roof has the following advantages: First, it has better space utilization. The flat roof in the middle can provide additional space for use, such as installing lighting equipment, ceiling fans or decorations; second, it can enhance the shading effect. The flat roof can provide better shading at noon and reduce direct sunlight; third, it can effectively improve drainage. The flat roof can be used as a water storage area to relieve the pressure of rainwater directly eroding the slope, which helps to drain more evenly; fourth, it can improve structural stability: the flat roof can increase the rigidity of the overall structure and improve the stability of the pavilion; fifth, it can also improve thermal insulation effect: the flat roof can serve as a buffer zone, which helps to maintain the internal temperature of the pavilion in cold seasons; sixth, it can increase functionality: the flat roof can be used to install additional functional facilities such as solar panels and stargazing windows; seventh, it can improve acoustic effects: the flat roof can reduce the reflection of sound at the top and improve the acoustic effects inside the pavilion.

[0063] Furthermore, the space of the pointed ceiling can be utilized to provide an expansion structure 12 inside and / or outside the ceiling for installing corresponding accessories.

[0064] For example, Figure 1a As shown, accessories can be installed in the ceiling through the extension structure 12. The extension structure 12 is installed on the ceiling. The installation area 12a of the extension structure 12 can be used to install accessories such as lights (light strips, chandeliers, spotlights, etc.), fans, heaters, sprayers, etc. to achieve relevant functional requirements.

[0065] External accessories such as solar panels, wind turbines, and sensors (wind, light, rain, etc.) can be installed outside the roof through the expansion structure 12.

[0066] The ceiling of the present application has a peak angle θ, and a peak angle θ is formed between the inclined beam 11 and the horizontal line; the angle of the peak angle θ can also be adjusted according to different scenes.

[0067] Specifically, the ceiling includes at least two oppositely arranged inclined beams 11, and a hinge 14 is provided at the connection between at least two inclined beams 11 to adjust the angle between at least two inclined beams 11; a support driver 15 is provided at the connection between the inclined beam 11 and the supporting base frame 10 to support the inclined beam 11 after the angle is adjusted.

[0068] Take the triangular apex formed by two inclined beams 11 as an example. Figure 3As shown, a hinge 14 is provided at the apex between the two oblique beams 11, and the oblique beam 11 can rotate along the hinge 14. The angle between the two oblique beams 11 can be adjusted through the hinge 14, and the apex angle θ between the oblique beam 11 and the horizontal line moves accordingly, thus achieving the purpose of adjusting the apex angle θ.

[0069] After the inclined beam 11 rotates along the hinge 14 , the position of the inclined beam 11 relative to the supporting base 10 also changes, so the inclined beam 11 after the position change needs to be supported by the supporting driver 15 .

[0070] Generally, an electric push rod or a linear drive can be used as the support drive 15 . One end of the support drive 15 is fixed to the support base 10 , and the other end is connected to the inclined beam 11 .

[0071] Taking the support driver 15 as an electric push rod as an example, one end of the electric push rod is fixed on the support base 10. After the inclined beam 11 rotates along the hinge 14, the support base 10 remains stationary, and the end of the electric push rod connected to the inclined beam 11 can be extended and retracted as the inclined beam 11 rotates, and finally the inclined beam 11 is positioned in the adjusted position.

[0072] In addition, a sliding rail mechanism 16 can be set between the inclined beam 11 and the supporting base 10. For example, a sliding groove is set on the supporting base 10, and a sliding rail is set on the inclined beam 11. The inclined beam 11 moves along the sliding groove through the sliding rail to assist the supporting driver 15 in adjusting the position of the inclined beam 11 relative to the supporting base 10.

[0073] In other embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the oblique beam 11 and the supporting base frame 10 are connected through a connecting rod 17, and the auxiliary supporting driver 15 is connected to adjust the position of the oblique beam 11.

[0074] Furthermore, since inclined beams 11 are provided on both sides, in order to enable the inclined beams 11 on both sides to be adjusted synchronously, a central controller can be provided to connect to the electric push rods or linear drives on both sides respectively to synchronously drive the inclined beams 11 on both sides to move, thereby ensuring symmetrical adjustment of the inclined beams 11 on both sides.

[0075] If manual adjustment is required by using a manual push rod as a manual driver 151, Figure 5 As shown, a central transmission shaft 18 is further provided between the two oblique beams 11, and the central transmission shaft 18 is respectively connected to the manual push rods on both sides to drive the manual push rods on both sides to move synchronously.

[0076] In addition, angle sensors can be set between the inclined beams 11 and the inclined beams 11, and between the inclined beams 11 and the supporting base frame 10 to monitor the current angle in real time and feed it back to the controller. The controller is connected to the electric push rod or linear drive, and the angle of each connection can be accurately adjusted according to the monitored angle to achieve angle adjustment of the apex angle θ.

[0077] In addition to the above-mentioned adjustment of the inclined beam 11 by the hinge 14, the following can also be used: Figure 6 The sliding mechanism 22 is shown for adjustment.

[0078] Specifically, a support rod 19 can be set between the two opposite sets of leg tubes, and the sliding mechanism 22 includes a slide groove set on the support rod 19, and a slide rail 22a set on the corresponding side oblique beam 11; the sliding mechanism 22 is connected to the motor 20 through the transmission system 21, and the motor 20 drives the slide groove and the slide rail 22a to slide together through the transmission system 21, so that the oblique beam 11 moves along the slide groove on the support rod 19 through the slide rail 22a, so that the angle between the oblique beam 11 and the leg tube, as well as the angle between the two oblique beams 11 can be changed.

[0079] In other embodiments, the transmission system 21 may use gears to transmit the power of the motor 20 to the sliding mechanism 22; or, use a chain or belt to transmit the power of the motor 20 to the sliding mechanism 22 to drive the sliding mechanism 22 to move, thereby achieving angle adjustment of each connection and completing the angle adjustment of the apex angle θ.

[0080] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and variations of the present application are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
