The length of the water guide plate 22 is the same as the width of the bottom surface of the beam body 21. Opening slots 211 are provided at both ends of the bottom surface of the beam body 21 and to the side surface of the beam body 21. The width of the opening slots 211 is the same as the width of the sub-body 322. When one end of the crossbeam 2 is inserted from top to bottom, with the opening slots 211 aligned with the sub-body 322, the second elastic buckle 52 is engaged in the second buckle hole 62.
[0035] To facilitate the splicing of the water guide plate 22, a bevel angle is set at the joint section of the water guide plate 22, and the bevel angle is preferably 45°.
[0036] The hook 4 is located at the bottom end of the beam 21. The hook 4 is L-shaped and consists of a first side 41 and a second side 42. The thickness of the first side 41 is greater than that of the second side 42. A slot 411 is provided at the end of the first side 41 away from the second side 42. The slot 411 is inserted into the bottom surface of the beam 21, and the two form a transition fit. In order to ensure that the hook 4 can be hooked, a water outlet groove 311 is provided on the upper surface of the first column 31. The second side 42 is inserted into the water outlet groove 311. In order to facilitate the left and right movement of the second side 42 in the water outlet groove 311, the width of the second side 42 is set to be smaller than the width of the water outlet groove 311.
[0037] Similarly, to facilitate the installation of the base plate 7 and the column 1, a cross groove 71 or a rectangular groove is provided in the center of the base plate 7. An insert plate 72 perpendicular to the base plate 7 is provided at the cross edge of the cross groove 71. The top of the insert plate 72 is arc-shaped. The first elastic buckle 51 is provided on the surface of the insert plate 72. The base plate 7 is snapped into the bottom of the column 1 from bottom to top. The first elastic buckle 51 on the insert plate 72 is opposite in direction to the first elastic buckle 51 on the first column 31. The bottom of the column 1 is provided with the first buckle hole 61.
[0038] Four sets of the first elastic buckles 51 are provided on the insert plate 72 of the base plate 7 to cooperate with the first buckle holes 61 at the lower end of the column 1.
[0039] A sunshade awning is constructed by a frame consisting of uprights 1 and crossbeams 2 connected together, and louvered components 8 located on the frame. The frame includes four uprights 1 and a ring beam consisting of four sets of crossbeams 2 installed on the top of the uprights 1. The two ends of the louvered components 8 are supported on the ring beam to form a complete sunshade awning.
[0040] The working process of this utility model is as follows: During installation, firstly, after measurement, the base plate 7 is fixed to the ground with ground nails. The connector 3 is inserted into the top of the four uprights 1. The uprights 1 are lifted and their bottoms are aligned with the insert plates 72 on the base plate 7. The first elastic buckle 51 on the insert plate 72 is fastened into the first buckle hole 61 at the bottom of the upright 1. Similarly, the remaining three uprights 1 are installed on the base plate 7. Then, when installing the crossbeam 2, firstly, the hook 4 is inserted into the bottom surface of the beam body 21 at one end of the crossbeam 2. One end of the crossbeam 2 in component 4 is lifted and hooked into the water outlet 311. Then, the other end of the crossbeam 2 is reached and a ladder is stepped on. The crossbeam 2 is tilted. The other end of the crossbeam 2 is lifted and inserted into the sub-body 322 on the connector 3 on another set of columns 1. Then, the end of the crossbeam 2 with the hook is reached, the hook 4 is removed, and the crossbeam 2 is inserted into the sub-body 322. By repeating the operation three times, the four sets of crossbeams 2 are installed on the four sets of columns 1. Then, the louver assembly 8 is installed on the crossbeam 2, thus completing the installation of the sunshade.
