The pressing piece 1 is arranged on the side of the main shaft 200 away from the purlin 100, the fastener 21 is fixedly connected between the pressing piece 1 and the purlin 100, so that the pressing piece 1 and the purlin 100 clamp the main shaft 200. The backing plate 3 is arranged between the pressing piece 1 and the main shaft 200.
[0036] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 6 The pressing piece 1 comprises a bottom plate 12 and two side plates 11 extending perpendicularly from both sides of the bottom plate 12. The two side plates 11 are arranged in parallel along the axial direction of the main shaft 200, and the side plates 11 are perpendicular to and abut upwardly against the main shaft 200. The bottom plate 12 is located on the side of the side plates 11 away from the main shaft 200 and is connected to the ends of the two side plates 11 away from the main shaft 200. The side of the side plate 11 abutting against the main shaft 200, i.e. the side of the side plate 11 away from the bottom plate 12, is provided with a notched portion 111. The notched portion 111 is used for surrounding at least part of the main shaft 200, i.e. the notched portion 111 is adapted to the lower contour of at least part of the main shaft 200, so as to be limited and abut against the main shaft 200.
[0037] The pad plate 3 is used to abut against the main shaft 200, and the side plates 11 abut against the lower surface of the pad plate 3 upward. In this way, only the upper edge portion of the side plates 11 of the lower pressing piece 1 is in contact with the main shaft 200 originally, and in this embodiment, the lower pressing piece 1 is in contact with the main shaft 200 through the pad plate 3, and the contact area is increased to the area of the upper surface of the pad plate 3, so that the local stress received by the main shaft 200 can be reduced.

Specifically, the notched portions 111 are recessed downward from the middle part of the upper edge of the side plates 11, and the clamping portions 13 extend perpendicularly to the side plates 11 from the middle part of the notched portions 111. Further, the two clamping portions 13 extend from the notched portions 111 of the two side plates 11 toward the sides away from each other, and the clamping portions 13 and the side plates 11 are connected through a round corner transition, so that the clamping portions 13 and the clamping holes 31 can be stably connected, and at the same time, the connection between the clamping portions 13 and the side plates 11 will not scratch the pad plate 3 or other components.
[0040] Further, the thickness of the clamping portions 13 is not greater than the thickness of the pad plate 3, so that the upper surface of the pad plate 3 can be maximally in contact with the main shaft 200. In this embodiment, the thickness of the clamping portions 13 is equal to the thickness of the pad plate 3, and the upper surface of the clamping portions 13 is flush with the upper surface of the pad plate 3, that is, the upper surface of the clamping portions 13 and the upper surface of the pad plate 3 are both in contact with the main shaft 200, and the lower surface of the pad plate 3 abuts on the notched portions 111. In other embodiments, the thickness of the clamping portions 13 is less than the thickness of the pad plate 3, so that the upper surface of the clamping portions 13 is lower than the upper surface of the pad plate 3, and the upper surface of the clamping portions 13 is not in contact with the main shaft 200.
[0041] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6As shown, the side plate 11 is further provided with a recessed groove 112 extending from the notch portion 111 towards the bottom plate 12, for clamping with the backing plate 3.

In this way, the support stability of the purlin 100 on the main shaft 200 is improved.
[0049] Further, the other end of the inclined brace 4 is at least partially attached to the side of the two side plates 11 away from each other, and the distance between the side of the two side plates 11 away from each other is equal to the distance between the two side walls of the purlin 100.
[0050] In the embodiment, the lower pressing piece 1, the connecting piece 2 and the pad plate 3 are all made of steel material, and the right angle structures of the three are all formed by bending, so that the three have high rigidity and strength and are simple to manufacture.
