[0002] Meanwhile, with the improvement of people's living standards, the number of private cars has increased dramatically, and people's awareness of vehicle protection has gradually increased. Traditional open-air parking is easily affected by factors such as bad weather, bird droppings, and dust, leading to vehicle damage and highlighting the parking problem. Carports can provide shade and shelter from rain, effectively protecting vehicles from these factors. In addition, carports can be customized according to user needs, such as installing monitoring equipment and intelligent access control systems, to improve vehicle security. Therefore, as a parking facility that efficiently utilizes land resources, carports have been widely used. They not only provide ample parking spaces but also effectively alleviate urban traffic pressure and improve urban parking efficiency.

[0003] However, most carports on the market currently use a structure with multiple columns supporting the roof. But with the acceleration of urbanization, the urban area is constantly expanding and the population is increasing rapidly, leading to increasingly tight urban land resources. The carport structure with multiple columns has the disadvantage of occupying a lot of ground space and is not conducive to vehicle parking. Therefore, this application proposes a trumpet-shaped photovoltaic carport. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] This embodiment provides a trumpet-shaped photovoltaic carport, the structural schematic diagram of which is shown below. Figures 1-8 As shown, the structure includes a column 1, a canopy 2 mounted on the top of the column 1, and multiple photovoltaic panels 3 laid on the top of the canopy 2. Supporting components 5 for supporting the canopy 2 are mounted on the column 1. The supporting components 5 are funnel-shaped and fitted onto the column 1. The smaller opening end of the supporting component 5 is distributed downwards and fixedly connected to the column 1, while the larger opening end is distributed upwards and connected to the lower surface of the canopy 2. By mounting the funnel-shaped supporting components 5 on the column 1 to support the canopy 2, the structural stability of the canopy 2 is ensured. This also improves upon the traditional four-corner support structure of the carport, using a single column 1 for support, reducing the number of columns 1, lowering costs, and facilitating vehicle parking. The photovoltaic panels 3 laid on the top of the canopy 2 can collect solar energy and convert it into electrical energy, achieving rational resource utilization.

[0031] In a further embodiment, the canopy 2 is configured as a frame structure, with the bottom of the canopy 2 closed around the larger opening of the support member 5. A support frame 6 for laying photovoltaic panels 3 is provided inside the canopy 2. The support frame 6 includes a frame 8 fixedly assembled inside the canopy 2 and multiple horizontal bars 9 laid side by side evenly on the frame 8. Multiple photovoltaic panels 3 are laid on the multiple horizontal bars 9. The frame 8 is distributed in a "well" shape. This structural design can stably support several photovoltaic panels 3. Furthermore, the support frame 6 also includes a ring frame 7 fixedly embedded in the larger opening end of the support member 5. The top of the column 1 extends into the support member 5 and is flush with the ring frame 7. The frame 8 is assembled on the ring frame 7. Multiple first support rods 11 are radially fixed between the inner circular surface of the ring frame 7 and the side wall of the column 1. Multiple second support rods 12 are obliquely fixed between the bottom of the ring frame 7 and the side wall of the column 1. The multiple first support rods 11 and multiple second support rods 12 are evenly distributed around the column 1. By using the ring frame 7, the frame 8 and the crossbar 9, the connection strength between the canopy 2 and the support member 5 and the top of the column 1 is increased, and the structural stability of the carport is improved.

[0032] In a further embodiment, water guide plates 10 are provided at opposite ends inside the roof 2. Drainage channels 13 are provided on the water guide plates 10. A downpipe 14 is vertically fixed at one bottom end of the water guide plate 10. The top end of the downpipe 14 is connected to the drainage channel 13. The bottom end of the downpipe 14 extends through the bottom wall of the roof 2 to the bottom of the roof 2. Horizontal bars 9 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the water guide plates 10, and both ends of the horizontal bars 9 extend above the drainage channels 13. An installation groove 15 for mounting photovoltaic panels 3 is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the horizontal bars 9 along the length direction. Water diversion channels 16 are provided on both sides of the horizontal bars 9 along the length direction. Rainwater seeping from the gaps between several photovoltaic panels 3 can be guided along the water diversion channels 16 to the drainage channels 13 on the water guide plate 10, and then drained from the downpipe 14 by the drainage channels 13. It has a good water-draining function and avoids the erosion and damage of rainwater to the roof 2 and photovoltaic panels 3.

[0033] In a further embodiment, a base 4 is provided at the bottom of the column 1. A reinforcing plate 17 is fixed between the upper surface of the base 4 and the side wall of the column 1. Multiple reinforcing plates 17 are provided and are evenly distributed around the column 1. Multiple reinforcing ribs 18 are vertically inserted through the base 4. The bottom ends of the reinforcing ribs 18 are curved in an arc shape. The multiple reinforcing ribs 18 and the multiple reinforcing plates 17 are distributed at intervals. During installation, the bottom ends of the multiple reinforcing ribs 18 are buried in the ground, which improves the stability of the column 1.

[0034] Working principle: During use, the canopy 2 is supported by trumpet-shaped support members 5 mounted on the uprights 1. This ensures the structural stability of the canopy 2 and improves upon the traditional four-corner support structure by using a single upright support 1. This reduces the number of uprights 1, lowers costs, and facilitates vehicle parking. Several photovoltaic panels 3 installed on the top of the canopy 2 collect solar energy and convert it into electricity, achieving rational resource utilization. Furthermore, the ring frame 7 and frame 8 are used... The addition of the horizontal bar 9 increases the connection strength between the roof 2 and the support 5 and the top of the column 1, improving the structural stability of the carport. In addition, the water channel 16 on the horizontal bar 9 and the water guide plates 10 at opposite ends inside the roof 2 allow rainwater seeping from the gaps between several photovoltaic panels 3 to be guided along the water channel 16 to the drainage channel 13 on the water guide plate 10, and then drained from the drain pipe 14 by the drainage channel 13. This has a good drainage function and avoids rainwater erosion and damage to the roof 2 and photovoltaic panels 3.

[0035] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
