In related technologies, the photovoltaic modules of the photovoltaic sunshade can convert light energy into electrical energy, and the photovoltaic sunshade can store this energy in an energy storage power source or connect it to the power grid. However, when electrical equipment near the photovoltaic sunshade needs to use electricity, users need to rewire to connect the equipment to the energy storage power source, which is inconvenient for users. To solve the above problems, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 or Figure 5 This application provides a photovoltaic sunshade 1000.

[0047] Please see Figure 1 or Figure 5The photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 of this application includes a photovoltaic module 200, a frame structure 100, an energy storage module, and a socket assembly 700. The frame structure 100 includes multiple frame components 10 and multiple support devices 1001. The upper end 1003 of the support device 1001 is used to connect to the frame components 10, and the lower end is used to connect to the surface to be fixed. The frame components 10 are used to house the photovoltaic module 200. The energy storage module is electrically connected to the photovoltaic module 200 and is used to store the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic module 200. The socket assembly 700 is installed on the frame structure 100 and is used to electrically connect to the energy storage module.

[0048] The photovoltaic awning 1000 is a photovoltaic product that can generate electricity using solar energy while also providing shade, heat insulation, and rain protection. The photovoltaic awning 1000 can be applied to outdoor public areas, the perimeter of large commercial facilities, or the courtyards of private residences. For example, the photovoltaic awning 1000 can be installed on a rooftop for use as a shading facility; or, the photovoltaic awning 1000 can be installed in a courtyard for use as a awning.

[0049] The frame structure 100 is the structure in the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 that provides installation and support for the photovoltaic modules 200. The frame structure 100 can be made of metallic and / or non-metallic materials. Metallic materials include, but are not limited to, aluminum, iron, steel, or aluminum alloys, while non-metallic materials include, but are not limited to, plastics. For example, the frame structure 100 can be made of metallic materials, such as aluminum alloy, which improves the structural strength of the frame structure 100, enhances the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000's ability to withstand external environmental conditions (such as wind, rain, and snow), and ensures the stability and reliability of the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000's operation. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the overall shape of the frame structure 100 may include, but is not limited to, square, cylindrical, and rhomboid shapes. This allows the frame structure 100 to adapt to the installation of photovoltaic modules 200 of different sizes and shapes.

[0050] The photovoltaic module 200 is a structure in the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 that converts solar energy into electrical energy. Generally, the photovoltaic module 200 can be installed on top of the frame structure 100. In some embodiments of this application, the photovoltaic module 200 may include a photovoltaic element 230, which is used to convert solar energy into electrical energy. The photovoltaic element 230 may be different types of solar energy conversion devices such as monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, or thin-film solar cells. Users can select photovoltaic elements 230 with different efficiencies and sizes according to their usage requirements and the dimensions of the frame structure 100.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, the photovoltaic module 200 is electrically connected to an energy storage module. The energy storage module stores the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic module 200 and can supply power to loads such as household appliances and portable devices. The energy storage module and the photovoltaic module 200 can be directly connected via cables, or they can be connected via intermediate devices such as junction boxes or combiner boards. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the energy storage module may include lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, or lithium-ion batteries, etc., and this is not limited thereto.

[0052] Please combine Figure 2 or Figure 6 The frame assembly 10 is a structure in the frame structure 100 used to encapsulate and fix the photovoltaic module 200. In some embodiments of this application, multiple frame assemblies 10 enclose a first space 110, which is used to install the photovoltaic module 200. In other words, the photovoltaic module 200 can be installed within the first space 110 formed by multiple frame assemblies 10 connected end to end, and the periphery of the photovoltaic module 200 can be connected to the frame assembly 10, thereby ensuring the stability of the photovoltaic module 200 installed in the frame structure 100. The frame assembly 10 can be made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials, such as aluminum alloy, to meet the requirements of the frame structure 100 for long-term outdoor use. The cross-sectional shape of the first space 110 can be, but is not limited to, regular or irregular shapes such as square, circle, triangle, and rhombus. In this embodiment, only a square cross-sectional shape of the first space 110 is used as an example for illustration. At this time, the border component 10 may include four (i.e., the first border component 101, the second border component 103, the third border component 105 and the fourth border component 107), and the four border components 10 together form the first space 110.

[0053] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic module 200 can be detachably installed on the frame assembly 10, which facilitates the removal of the photovoltaic module 200 from the frame assembly 10 when maintenance or replacement is required. The detachable connection methods include, but are not limited to, bolt connections and snap-fit ​​connections. In other embodiments, the photovoltaic module 200 can be non-detachably installed on the frame assembly 10, which improves the bonding strength between the photovoltaic module 200 and the frame assembly 10, enhances the photovoltaic awning 1000's ability to resist external environmental factors, and ensures the stability and reliability of the photovoltaic awning 1000's operation. The non-detachable connection methods include, but are not limited to, bonding or welding.

[0054] The support device 1001 is a structure used to fix and support the entire frame structure 100. In some embodiments of this application, when the cross-sectional shape of the first space 110 is rectangular, the support device 1001 includes at least four. In one example, the support device 1001 may include four, with the four support devices 1001 respectively disposed at the four corners of the frame structure 100, thereby achieving stable support for the frame assembly 10. In another example, the support device 1001 may include six, with four support devices 1001 respectively disposed at the four corners of the frame structure 100, and two support devices 1001 respectively disposed between two pairs of adjacent corner support devices 1001, thereby achieving stable support for the frame assembly 10. The support device 1001 may be made of steel, aluminum alloy, concrete, etc., to ensure that the support device 1001 has sufficient load-bearing capacity and stability, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the photovoltaic awning 1000 during long-term use. It is understood that the surface to be fixed includes, but is not limited to, the ground, roof, or other mounting surfaces where the photovoltaic modules 200 can be installed.

[0055] The socket assembly 700 is a device for receiving electrical energy from an external device (such as the energy storage module mentioned above) and distributing that electrical energy to electrical appliances. In some embodiments of this application, the socket assembly 700 is mounted on the frame structure 100. For example, the socket assembly 700 may be mounted on the frame assembly 10 and / or on the support device 1001, and is electrically connected to the energy storage module. Thus, the electrical energy from the energy storage module can be output to the socket assembly 700, and transmitted through the socket assembly 700 to the electrical appliances electrically connected to it. It is understood that in some embodiments, when the socket assembly 700 is electrically connected to the energy storage module, the socket assembly 700 can output direct current.

[0056] For ease of understanding, the following embodiments will be described using the example of the socket assembly 700 being installed on the support device 1001.

[0057] In one example, the electrical equipment may be at least one of the following installed on the photovoltaic awning 1000: a lighting module (e.g., LED lights), a heat dissipation module (e.g., an air conditioner or fan), a voice playback device (e.g., a radio or speaker), an audio playback device (e.g., a television or monitor), and a projection module, thereby enabling the photovoltaic awning 1000 to have functions such as lighting, heat dissipation, voice playback, audio playback, or projection, thus enhancing the multifunctionality of the photovoltaic awning 1000.

[0058] In another example, the electrical equipment can be any equipment that is not part of the structure of the photovoltaic awning 1000 itself. For example, the photovoltaic awning 1000 is usually placed in the user's yard, and the electrical equipment can be household appliances in the user's house, including but not limited to computers, refrigerators, and washing machines.

[0059] In some embodiments, the socket assembly 700 is electrically connected to the energy storage module via an inverter. In other words, the electrical energy from the energy storage module can be converted by the inverter and delivered to the socket assembly 700. Specifically, an inverter is a converter capable of converting direct current (DC) into fixed-frequency, fixed-voltage or frequency- and voltage-modulated alternating current (AC) (typically 220V, 50Hz sine wave). After the photovoltaic module 200 converts solar energy into electrical energy (DC), the electrical energy is transmitted to the energy storage module for storage. When the electrical device is electrically connected to the socket assembly 700, the inverter can convert the DC in the energy storage module into alternating current (AC) and transmit the AC to the electrical device through the socket assembly 700. That is, when the socket assembly 700 is electrically connected to the energy storage module via an inverter, the socket assembly 700 can output AC. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the type of inverter includes, but is not limited to, string inverters, microinverters, and distributed inverters, etc., and is not limited in this application.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, the socket assembly 700 is used to output direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC), thereby enabling the socket assembly 700 to meet the usage needs of different electrical devices and improving the applicability of the socket assembly 700 and the photovoltaic awning 1000. Specifically, the socket assembly 700 can be electrically connected to an energy storage module to output DC power; the socket assembly 700 can also be electrically connected to an energy storage module via an inverter to output AC power.

[0061] For example, when the socket assembly 700 is used to output DC power, the electrical device can be a device that operates using DC power, such as a DC air conditioner, mobile phone, laptop, etc.; when the socket assembly 700 is used to output AC power, the electrical device can be a device that operates using AC power, such as a television, vacuum cleaner, etc.

[0062] In the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 of this application embodiment, the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 includes a socket assembly 700 installed on the frame structure 100, and the socket assembly 700 can be electrically connected to the energy storage module. In this way, when electrical equipment near the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 needs to use electrical energy, the user can directly connect the electrical equipment and the socket assembly 700 so that the electrical equipment can use the electrical energy stored in the energy storage module to work. The user does not need to rewire to connect the electrical equipment to the energy storage power supply, which is convenient for the user.

[0063] The photovoltaic sunshade 1000 will be further explained below with reference to the attached diagram.

[0064] Please see Figures 1 to 3 Or refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the socket assembly 700 includes a socket 710, which is mounted on the support device 1001 and connected to a first electrical connection assembly 470. Figure 1 (As shown) is electrically connected to the energy storage module. Specifically, in some embodiments, the socket 710 can be directly electrically connected to the energy storage module via the first electrical connection component 470, in which case the socket 710 can output DC power. In other embodiments, the socket 710 can be electrically connected to the inverter via the first electrical connection component 470, and then electrically connected to the energy storage module via the inverter, in which case the socket 710 can output AC power.

[0065] In some embodiments, the socket 710 may include at least one, with at least one socket 710 disposed on the same support device 1001; or, at least one socket 710 may be disposed on different support devices 1001, thereby facilitating user use. Wherein, when the socket 710 is electrically connected to the energy storage module via an inverter, the quantity relationship between the socket 710 and the inverter may be one-to-one; or many-to-one, that is, one socket 710 corresponds to one inverter; or multiple sockets 710 correspond to one inverter.

[0066] In one example, the socket 710 and the support device 1001 can be detachably connected, including but not limited to snap-fit ​​connections or threaded connections. In another example, the socket 710 and the support device 1001 can be non-detachably connected, including but not limited to adhesive or welding. The socket 710 can be installed on the outer surface of any support device 1001, or it can be at least partially located inside the support device 1001. In some embodiments of this application, when the socket 710 is installed on the outer surface of the support device 1001, the socket 710 can be installed on the side of the support device 1001 facing the center of the frame structure 100. This reduces the possibility of the socket 710 coming into contact with rainwater or other liquids, prevents leakage problems, and improves the safety of the socket 710.

[0067] In some embodiments, the first electrical connection component 470 extends into the inner cavity 1007 of the support device 1001 and exits from the lower end 1005 of the support device 1001. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the first electrical connection component 470 may be a wire, connector, or other component suitable for electrical connection for transmitting electrical energy.

[0068] The first electrical connection component 470 is inserted into the inner cavity 1007 of the support device 1001. This provides the support device 1001 with space and an installation path for the first electrical connection component 470, ensuring its wiring is consistent with the support device 1001 and reducing wiring complexity. Furthermore, it prevents the first electrical connection component 470 from being exposed to the external environment, reducing the likelihood of wear and tear, extending its service life, and minimizing the risk of electric shock or fire caused by damage. Finally, it improves the aesthetic appearance of the photovoltaic awning 1000.

[0069] It is understood that in other embodiments, the first electrical connection component 470 may also be located outside the support device 1001. In this case, the socket 710 can be electrically connected to the energy storage module through the first electrical connection component 470 located outside the support device 1001.

[0070] Please combine Figure 3 In some embodiments, the socket assembly 700 further includes a protective member 730. The socket 710 includes a socket body 7101, a fixing member 7103, and a connecting member 7105. The socket body 7101 has a socket opening 7102, and the protective member 730 is movably connected to the socket body 7101 and covers the socket opening 7102. The fixing member 7103 is disposed in the socket body 7101 and is used to connect the socket body 7101 to the support device 1001. The connecting member 7105 is disposed within the socket body 7101 and is electrically connected to the first electrical connection assembly 470. The socket opening 7102 is used to provide electrical connection between the electrical equipment and the connecting member 7105.

[0071] The protective element 730 is a component in the socket assembly 700 used to protect the socket 710. The protective element 730 can be made of plastic or metal. When the protective element 730 is made of plastic, it has good insulation performance, low cost, and light weight. When the protective element 730 is made of metal, it has high strength, good wear resistance, and a long service life. The protective element 730 can be movably connected by means including, but not limited to, hinged, axial, and threaded connections. In some embodiments of this application, the protective element 730 covers the socket opening 7102 of the socket 710. This prevents external water or dust from entering the socket 710, causing leakage or damage, thereby improving the safety of the socket 710 and extending its service life. It also prevents users (e.g., children) from touching the socket 710 when it is not in use, thus preventing the risk of electric shock.

[0072] The socket body 7101 is a structure in the socket 710 used to house components such as the fixing member 7103 and the connecting member 7105. The cross-sectional shape of the socket body 7101 can be, but is not limited to, circular, elliptical, rectangular, or other polygonal shapes; the cross-sectional shape of the socket body 7101 in this application is rectangular. The material of the socket body 7101 can be plastic or metal. When the socket body 7101 is made of plastic, it has good insulation performance, low cost, and light weight. When the socket body 7101 is made of metal, it has high strength, good wear resistance, and a long service life. The socket 7102 includes, but is not limited to, two-hole sockets 7102, three-hole sockets 7102, multi-hole sockets 7102, and USB sockets 7102.

[0073] The fastener 7103 is used to connect the socket body 7101 to the support device 1001. The fastener 7103 includes, but is not limited to, clips, bolts, etc. The support device 1001 may be provided with a mating part that cooperates with the fastener 7103. In some embodiments, the fastener 7103 may be a bolt, and the mating part may be a nut or other structure that can be connected with the bolt. The power connector 7105 is used to provide electrical connection between the electrical device and the power connector 7105. Specifically, when the plug of the electrical device is inserted into the socket 7102, the plug of the electrical device can be electrically connected to the energy storage module through the power connector 7105. In this way, the electrical energy of the energy storage module can be transferred to the electrical device to enable the electrical device to perform functions such as lighting, heat dissipation, voice playback, audio playback, or projection.

[0074] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Or refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 further includes a crossbeam assembly 20, the opposite ends of which are connected to two opposite frame assemblies 10, and divide the first space 110 into a plurality of second spaces 120, the second spaces 120 being used to accommodate the photovoltaic module 200.

[0075] The crossbeam assembly 20 is a structural element in the frame structure 100 that serves to strengthen and support the structure. The crossbeam assembly 20 connects two opposing frame assemblies 10 to form a stable support structure, thereby facilitating more stable mounting of the photovoltaic modules 200. Specifically, the crossbeam assembly 20 divides the first space 110 into multiple second spaces 120, allowing the photovoltaic modules 200 to be independently installed and supported within the second spaces 120. This not only improves the stability of the photovoltaic awning 1000 but also more effectively utilizes the overall space enclosed by the frame assemblies 10 (i.e., the first space 110), maximizing the number of photovoltaic modules 200 that can be installed and increasing the power generation capacity of the photovoltaic awning 1000.

[0076] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the multiple support devices 1001 include multiple column assemblies 30, the upper end of which is used to connect two adjacent frame assemblies 10, and the lower end is used to connect to the surface to be fixed. The socket assembly 700 is installed in one of the multiple column assemblies 30.

[0077] The support column assembly 30 is a structure used to fix and support the entire frame assembly 10 and the beam assembly 20. In some embodiments of this application, when the cross-sectional shape of the first space 110 is square, the support column assembly 30 may include four columns, each disposed at one of the four corners of the square, thereby achieving stable support for the frame assembly 10. Furthermore, by connecting adjacent frame assemblies 10, the support column assembly 30 can form a stable support structure with multiple frame assemblies 10. Exemplarily, the support column assembly 30 may be made of steel, aluminum alloy, or concrete, ensuring sufficient load-bearing capacity and good stability, thereby guaranteeing the safety and reliability of the photovoltaic awning 1000 during long-term use. It is understood that the surface to be fixed includes, but is not limited to, the ground, roof, or other mounting surfaces where the photovoltaic modules 200 can be installed.

[0078] Please combine Figure 2 In some embodiments, the border component 10 includes a border 11, and two adjacent border components 10 include a first border component 101 and a second border component 103. It should be noted that the first border component 101 and the second border component 103 are only used to distinguish border components 10 at different positions, and are not limited to the fact that the structures of the first border component 101 and the second border component 103 are different.

[0079] In some embodiments of this application, the structures of the first border component 101 and the second border component 103 may be substantially the same, which facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the border component 10 and improves the production efficiency of the frame structure 100. For example, the structures of the first border component 101 and the second border component 103 may differ only in length. In one example, the first border component 101 may form the short side of the first space 110, and the second border component 103 may form the long side of the first space 110.

[0080] In some embodiments, the column assembly 30 includes a column 31, a base plate 32 mounted on the lower end of the column 31, and a connector 33 mounted on the upper end of the column 31. The column 31 has a cavity 305 extending through its upper end face 301 and lower end face 303, and the inner cavity 1007 of the support device 1001 includes the cavity 305. The base plate 32 is used to connect to the surface to be fixed. The connector 33 connects the frame 11 of the first frame assembly 101 and the frame 11 of the second frame assembly 103.

[0081] The column 31 is a supporting structure in the column assembly 30. In one example, the column 31 has a fixed length. In another example, the column 31 is a telescopic structure; for example, the column 31 may include at least two sub-columns that are telescopically connected together, allowing the user to adjust the distance between the frame assembly 10 and the surface to be fixed according to specific usage requirements.

[0082] In some embodiments of this application, the cross-sectional dimension of the base plate 32 is larger than that of the column 31. Therefore, compared to the column 31 being directly connected to the surface to be fixed, the contact area between the column assembly 30 and the surface to be fixed is larger, thereby improving the stability of the frame structure 100 installed on the surface to be fixed. In one example, the base plate 32 can be connected to the surface to be fixed using either a detachable or non-detachable connection method. In another example, the base plate 32 may not be connected to the surface to be fixed; in this case, the base plate 32 merely rests on the surface to be fixed.

[0083] In some embodiments, the assembly steps of the frame structure 100 may be as follows: First, connect the adapter 33 to the upper end of the column 31; then, connect the adjacent first side frame assembly 101 and second side frame assembly 103 to the adapter 33; subsequently, connect the crossbeam assembly 20 to the two opposite side frame assemblies 10; finally, connect the base plate 32 to the lower end of the column 31 and connect the base plate 32 to the surface to be fixed, thus completing the assembly of the frame structure 100. It is understood that the assembly steps of the frame structure 100 in the above embodiments are merely illustrative. In other embodiments, the assembly steps of the frame structure 100 may also include other forms, which will not be described in detail here.

[0084] In some embodiments, the first frame assembly 101 and the second frame assembly 103 are both connected to the adapter 33 in a non-detachable manner, thereby improving the connection strength between the frame assembly 10 and the adapter 33 and enhancing the stability of the frame structure 100. The non-detachable connection method includes, but is not limited to, welding or bonding. In other embodiments, the first frame assembly 101 and the second frame assembly 103 are both connected to the adapter 33 in a detachable manner, thereby facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the frame assembly 10 and the adapter 33. The detachable connection method includes, but is not limited to, bolted connections or snap-fit ​​connections.

[0085] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the frame assembly 10 further includes a first flow guide 13 and a second flow guide 15. The frame assembly 10 includes a frame 11, which includes a frame body 111 and a flow receiving member 115 connected to the frame body 111. The first flow guide 13 is connected and communicates with the flow receiving members 115 of at least two adjacent frame assemblies 10, and communicates with the cavity 305 of the pillar assembly 30. The second flow guide 15 does not have a through hole, and is connected and communicates with the flow receiving members 115 of the remaining two adjacent frame assemblies 10. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the fluid received by the flow receiving member 115 may be rainwater or other liquids accumulated on the photovoltaic module 200.

[0086] Specifically, in some embodiments, the first guide member 13 is disposed in the receiving groove of the receiving member 115 of two adjacent frame components 10, so as to connect and communicate the receiving members 115 of the two adjacent frame components 10. When the receiving groove receives fluid, it can guide the fluid to the first guide member 13, and the fluid flows into the cavity 305 of the column component 30 (corresponding to the first guide member 13) through the through hole on the first guide member 13 and the opening at the upper end of the column component 30, and is discharged to the outside of the column component 30. This prevents fluid from accumulating on the surface of the photovoltaic module 200, avoiding shading of sunlight. On the one hand, this improves the light absorption rate of the photovoltaic module 200, ensuring the energy output of the photovoltaic shading 1000 and improving power generation efficiency; on the other hand, it prevents fluid from soaking the photovoltaic module 200, causing aging, and prevents fluid from penetrating into the interior of the photovoltaic module 200, extending the service life of the photovoltaic module 200. In addition, compared to the receiving member 115 directly discharging the received fluid to the surface to be fixed, the receiving member 115 guiding the fluid to the first guide member 13 can also prevent the fluid from directly impacting the surface to be fixed or other objects, thereby reducing water splashing and water erosion, and reducing the probability that the area below the photovoltaic module 200 will be adversely affected by the fluid.

[0087] In some embodiments, the frame body 111 and the current-receiving component 115 are an integral structure, meaning they can be molded as a single unit. This improves the bonding strength between the frame body 111 and the current-receiving component 115, preventing the current-receiving component 115 from detaching from the frame body 111 during use of the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000. It also reduces the assembly steps of the frame assembly 10, improving the assembly efficiency of the frame structure 100. In other embodiments, the frame body 111 and the current-receiving component 115 are separate structures, meaning they are two distinct structures. The frame body 111 and the current-receiving component 115 can be joined together using either a detachable or non-detachable connection method.

[0088] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the cavity 305 of the column assembly 30 corresponding to the second flow guide 15 can be used to accommodate the wiring harness of the photovoltaic module 200 and other components of the photovoltaic awning 1000. Therefore, the second flow guide 15 is not connected to the opening at the upper end of the corresponding column assembly 30. That is, the fluid in the receiving member 115 cannot flow into the cavity 305 of the column assembly 30 corresponding to the second flow guide 15 through the second flow guide 15. This prevents fluid from flowing into the cavity 305 of the column 31 corresponding to the second flow guide 15 and causing a short circuit, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the photovoltaic awning 1000's power generation.

[0089] In some embodiments, the current-receiving elements 115 of the two frame components 10 connected to the post assembly 30 through which the first electrical connection component 470 passes are connected and communicated via the second flow guide 15. That is, the post assembly 30 through which the first electrical connection component 470 passes is the post assembly 30 corresponding to the second flow guide 15, thereby preventing fluid from flowing into the cavity 305 of the post assembly 30 and causing a short circuit, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the socket assembly 700.

[0090] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, at least one border component 10 includes at least two sub-border components 109, with the tail end of one of the at least two sub-border components 109 connected to the head end of the other. For example, when the cross-sectional shape of the first space 110 is rectangular, the border component 10 including at least two sub-border components 109 may be a border component 10 forming the long side of the first space 110.

[0091] Please combine Figure 6 In some embodiments, the plurality of support devices 1001 include a plurality of column assemblies 30 and at least two support column assemblies 40. The upper end of each column assembly 30 is used to connect to two adjacent frame assemblies 10, and the lower end is used to connect to the surface to be fixed. A socket assembly 700 is installed on the column assembly 30. The upper end of each support column assembly 40 is used to connect to one of at least two sub-frame assemblies 109, and the lower end is used to connect to the surface to be fixed. A socket assembly 700 is installed on one of the at least two support column assemblies 40.

[0092] It should be noted that the structure of the column assembly 30 in this embodiment is exactly the same as that in the above embodiments, and will not be described again here.

[0093] The support column assembly 40 is a structure used to fix and support the entire frame structure 100. In some embodiments of this application, when the cross-sectional shape of the first space 110 is rectangular, the column assembly 30 may include four columns, which are respectively disposed at the four corners of the first space 110, thereby achieving stable support for the frame assembly 10. The support column assembly 40 may include two columns, which may be respectively disposed between two pairs of adjacent columns 30, thereby achieving stable support for the frame assembly 10. Both the column assembly 30 and the support column assembly 40 may be made of steel, aluminum alloy, concrete, etc., to ensure that the column assembly 30 and the support column assembly 40 have sufficient load-bearing capacity and stability, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the photovoltaic awning 1000 during long-term use.

[0094] If the frame structure 100 only includes column components 30, and the size of the first space 110 enclosed by multiple frame components 10 is large, the frame components 10 will be more easily deformed and damaged under the gravity and / or external load of the photovoltaic module 200, especially the frame components 10 forming the long side of the first space 110. Therefore, in some embodiments of this application, at least one frame component 10 includes at least two sub-frame components 109, the tail end of one of the at least two sub-frame components 109 is connected to the head end of the other, and the upper end of each support column component 40 is used to connect to one of the at least two sub-frame components 109, and the lower end is used to connect to the surface to be fixed. That is, the support column component 40 can support the frame component 10 forming the long side of the first space 110, thereby reducing the possibility of the frame component 10 deforming and being damaged under the gravity and / or external load of the photovoltaic module 200, and thus improving the structural stability of the photovoltaic awning 1000.

[0095] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments, two adjacent frame assemblies 10 include a first frame assembly 101 and a second frame assembly 103, and the second frame assembly 103 includes a first sub-frame assembly 1091 and a second sub-frame assembly 1093. The support column assembly 40 includes a support column 41, a base plate 45 mounted on the lower end of the support column 41, and a connector 43 mounted on the upper end of the support column 41. The support column 41 has a mounting cavity penetrating its upper end surface 401 and lower end surface 403, and the inner cavity 1007 of the support device 1001 includes the mounting cavity. The base plate 45 is used to connect to the surface to be fixed. The connector 43 connects to one of the first sub-frame assembly 1091 and the second sub-frame assembly 1093. The installation cavity reduces the weight of the support column 41, making it lighter and easier to transport. It also facilitates the wiring of the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 and protects the cables. Furthermore, the installation cavity can accommodate at least part of the connector 43, thereby reducing the space occupied by the connector 43 and minimizing the size of the frame structure 100.

[0096] Support column 41 is a supporting structure within support column assembly 40. In one example, support column 41 has a fixed length. In another example, support column 41 is a telescopic structure, allowing the user to adjust the distance between frame assembly 10 and the surface to be fixed according to specific usage needs. It is understood that when both column assembly 30 and support column assembly 40 are connected to frame assembly 10, the lengths of column assembly 30 and support column assembly 40 are the same; that is, the length of support column 41 is the same as the length of column 31.

[0097] In some embodiments of this application, the cross-sectional dimension of the substrate 45 is larger than that of the support column 41. Thus, compared to the support column 41 being directly connected to the surface to be fixed, the contact area between the support column assembly 40 and the surface to be fixed is larger, thereby improving the stability of the frame structure 100 mounted on the surface to be fixed. In one example, the substrate 45 may be connected to the surface to be fixed using either a detachable or non-detachable connection method. In another example, the substrate 45 may not be connected to the surface to be fixed; in this case, the substrate 45 merely rests on the surface to be fixed.

[0098] In some embodiments, the assembly steps of the second frame assembly 103 and the support column assembly 40 may be as follows: First, connect the connecting member 43 to the upper end of the support column 41; then, connect the first sub-frame assembly 1091 or the second sub-frame assembly 1093 to the connecting member 43; subsequently, connect the first sub-frame assembly 1091 and the second sub-frame assembly 1093; finally, connect the substrate 45 to the lower end of the support column 41 and connect the substrate 45 to the surface to be fixed, thus completing the assembly of the second frame assembly 103 and the support column assembly 40. It is understood that the assembly steps of the second frame assembly 103 and the support column assembly 40 in the above embodiments are merely illustrative. In other embodiments, the assembly steps of the second frame assembly 103 and the support column assembly 40 may also include other forms, which will not be described in detail here.

[0099] Please combine Figure 7 In some embodiments, the frame assembly 10 further includes a first flow guide 13 and a second flow guide 15. The first flow guide 13 has a through hole, while the second flow guide 15 does not have a through hole. The frame 11 of the frame assembly 10 also includes a flow receiving member 115 disposed on the inner side wall of the frame body 111 for carrying fluid. The beam assembly 20 of the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000 includes a beam 21. The beam 21 includes a beam body 211 and flow carriers 215 disposed on opposite sides of the beam body 211 for carrying fluid. The flow carriers 215 are connected and communicate with the flow receiving member 115 through the first flow guide 13 or the second flow guide 15.

[0100] It should be noted that the structure of the beam assembly 20 in this embodiment (including the beam body 211 and the flow-carrying component 215) is roughly the same as the structure of the frame assembly 10 in the above embodiment (including the frame body 111 and the flow-receiving component 115). Therefore, the specific structure of the beam assembly 20 in this embodiment can be referred to the structural description of the frame assembly 10 in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here. Furthermore, the structures of the first flow guide 13 and the second flow guide 15 in this embodiment are exactly the same as the structures of the first flow guide 13 and the second flow guide 15 in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0101] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the current-carrying member 215 receives fluid, the current-carrying member 215 can guide the received fluid to the receiving member 115 through the second guide member 15. Subsequently, the receiving member 115 can guide the received fluid to the first guide member 13, and flow into the cavity 305 of the column 31 (corresponding to the first guide member 13) through the through hole on the first guide member 13 and the opening at the upper end of the column 31, and then discharge it to the outside of the column 31. This can prevent the fluid from accumulating on the surface of the photovoltaic module 200, avoiding the fluid from blocking sunlight. On the one hand, it can improve the light absorption rate of the photovoltaic module 200, ensure the energy output of the photovoltaic shading 1000, and improve the power generation efficiency; on the other hand, it can prevent the photovoltaic module 200 from being soaked by fluid, which would cause the photovoltaic module 200 to age, and prevent the fluid from penetrating into the interior of the photovoltaic module 200, thus extending the service life of the photovoltaic module 200. In addition, compared to the current-carrying component 215 directly discharging the received fluid to the surface to be fixed, the current-carrying component 215 guiding the fluid to the receiving component 115 can also prevent the fluid from directly impacting the surface to be fixed or other objects, thereby reducing water splashing and water erosion, and reducing the probability that the area below the photovoltaic module 200 will be adversely affected by the fluid.

[0102] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the mounting cavity of the support column assembly 40 corresponding to the second flow guide 15 can be used to accommodate the wiring harnesses of the photovoltaic module 200 and other components of the photovoltaic shading 1000. Therefore, the second flow guide 15 is not connected to the opening at the upper end of the corresponding support column assembly 40. That is, the fluid in the current-carrying member 215 and the current-receiving member 115 cannot flow into the mounting cavity of the support column assembly 40 corresponding to the second flow guide 15 through the second flow guide 15. This prevents fluid from flowing into the mounting cavity of the support column assembly 40 corresponding to the second flow guide 15 and causing a short circuit, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the photovoltaic shading 1000's power generation.

[0103] In some embodiments, the current-receiving element 115 of the frame assembly 10, which is connected to the support column assembly 40 through which the first electrical connection assembly 470 passes, is connected and communicates with the current-carrying element 215 via the second current-guiding element 15. That is, the support column assembly 40 through which the first electrical connection assembly 470 passes is a support column assembly 40 corresponding to the second current-guiding element 15, thereby preventing fluid from flowing into the mounting cavity of the support column assembly 40 and causing a short circuit, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the socket assembly 700.

[0104] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 and combined Figure 8 Or refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 and combined Figure 8In some embodiments, the photovoltaic module 200 includes a photovoltaic element 230, which includes a photovoltaic panel 2301, a junction box 2303, and a connector 2305 extending from the junction box 2303. The connectors 2305 of all photovoltaic modules 200 within the same second space 120 extend toward the same beam assembly 20 or the same frame assembly 10 of the same photovoltaic shading 1000 and are electrically connected through a second electrical connection assembly 410. The second electrical connection assembly 410 passes through the second space 120 into the cavity of the frame assembly 10 connected to either end of the beam assembly 20, extends to the inner cavity 1007 of the support device 1001, and then exits from the lower end 1005 of the support device 1001.

[0105] The photovoltaic module 200 has an internal electrical connection element that is electrically connected to a junction box 2303. The junction box 2303 transmits the converted electrical energy from its connector 2305 to a second electrical connection component 410, which then transmits the energy to an external device, which may be an energy storage device capable of storing electrical energy. The photovoltaic module 200 is mounted on the frame structure 100. On one hand, it absorbs sunlight and converts solar energy into electrical energy for power generation. On the other hand, it covers the second space 120, reducing sunlight penetration into the photovoltaic shade shed 1000 and providing a shading effect. The interior of the photovoltaic shade shed 1000 refers to the space located below the photovoltaic module 200 and enclosed by the frame structure 100.

[0106] The cross-sectional shape of the photovoltaic element 230 in the XY plane may include, but is not limited to, regular or irregular shapes such as square, circle, triangle, and rhombus. In this embodiment, only a square cross-sectional shape of the photovoltaic panel 2301 is used as an example. For the same second space 120, the connector 2305 extends toward the same beam assembly 20 or the same frame assembly 10; that is, the connector 2305 may extend toward the same beam assembly 20, or the connector 2305 may extend toward the frame assembly 10 opposite to the beam assembly 20 in the second direction Y. This application describes the connector 2305 of the same second space 120 as extending toward the same beam assembly 20. Figure 8(As shown). Thus, the connectors 2305 are arranged sequentially in the first direction X, and all connectors 2305 are electrically connected to the same second electrical connection assembly 410. The electrical connection methods include, but are not limited to, series connection, parallel connection, and a combination of series and parallel connection. This application describes the connectors 2305 and the second electrical connection assembly 410 connected in series within the same second space 120. After the second electrical connection assembly 410 is connected to the connectors 2305, it can pass through the cavity of any of the frame assembly 10 connected to both ends of the crossbeam 21, that is, the second electrical connection assembly 410 can enter the cavity of any frame assembly 10 extending along the second direction Y. The second electrical connection assembly 410 entering the cavity can extend within the cavity and enter the inner cavity 1007 of any support device 1001. That is, in this application, the second electrical connection assembly 410 entering the cavity can extend within the cavity and enter any one of the multiple support devices 1001, and then exit from the lower end 1005 of the support device 1001 and be electrically connected to an external device.

[0107] All connectors 2305 within the same second space 120 extend in one direction, meaning that connectors 2305 within the same second space 120 can be connected to the second electrical connection assembly 410 on the same side. This avoids the need for a longer second electrical connection assembly 410 to connect connectors 2305 on opposite sides, simplifies the arrangement of the second electrical connection assembly 410, reduces the number of second electrical connection assemblies 410 used, thereby reducing the line resistance and heat generation of the second electrical connection assembly 410 and reducing the energy consumption of the photovoltaic shading canopy 1000. Furthermore, the second electrical connection component 410 extends from the second space 120 into the cavity and inner cavity 1007. On the one hand, the cavity and inner cavity 1007 provide a accommodating space and installation path for the second electrical connection component 410, making the wiring of the second electrical connection component 410 consistent with the frame structure 100, thus reducing wiring complexity. On the other hand, it can prevent the second electrical connection component 410 from being exposed to the external environment, avoid wear and tear on the second electrical connection component 410, improve the service life of the second electrical connection component 410, and reduce the risk of electric shock or fire caused by damage to the second electrical connection component 410. It also improves the neatness and aesthetics of the photovoltaic sunshade 1000.

[0108] In some embodiments, the second electrical connection assembly 410 and the first electrical connection assembly 470 of the socket assembly 700 extend into the inner cavity 1007 of the same support device 1001. This allows for more regular wiring of the first electrical connection assembly 470 and the second electrical connection assembly 410. Furthermore, the inner cavity 1007 of the same support device 1001 to which the first electrical connection assembly 470 and the second electrical connection assembly 410 extend is the inner cavity 1007 of the support device 1001 corresponding to the second flow guide 15. This ensures that the first electrical connection assembly 470 and the second electrical connection assembly 410 are not subject to short-circuit problems due to fluid erosion, thus guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the photovoltaic awning 1000.

[0109] In addition, the first electrical connection component 470 and the second electrical connection component 410 extend into the inner cavity 1007 of the same support device 1001. At this time, the inner cavities 1007 of other support devices 1001 can be used for drainage. That is, other support devices 1001 can correspond to the first guide member 13, which can improve the drainage efficiency of the photovoltaic shading awning 1000 and prevent fluid from accumulating on the photovoltaic module 200.
