[0036] Understandably, this gutter 300 system also includes: aluminum positioning pins 320, of which two are provided. The gutter 300 passes through the aluminum positioning pins 320. The aluminum positioning pins 320 are configured to determine the installation position of the gutter 300. The aluminum positioning pins 320 are connected to the supporting components of the greenhouse. The aluminum positioning pins 320 not only assist in installation but also strengthen the structural strength of the entire gutter 300 system. The gutter 300 has mounting holes inside, and the aluminum positioning pins 320 cooperate with the mounting holes to assist in positioning the gutter 300.

[0037] It is conceivable that the glass plate 500 abuts against the gutter 300, and a rubber gasket 510 is provided between the glass plate 500 and the gutter 300. The rubber gasket 510 is configured to seal and buffer, and can better seal the connection between the glass plate 500 and the gutter 300, and can also better protect the glass plate 500 and prevent damage to the glass plate 500 during installation. In this embodiment, the rubber gasket 510 is made of rubber. It is understood that the rubber gasket 510 can also be made of other materials with sealing and buffering functions.

[0038] It should be noted that the gutter 300 is provided with a latch 330, and a plastic buckle plate 900 is provided at the connection between the gutter 300 and the glass plate 500. The plastic buckle plate 900 is provided with a buckle head 910, which is fastened into the latch 330, thus fastening the plastic buckle plate 900 to the connection between the gutter 300 and the glass plate 500. The latch 330 and the buckle head 910 enable the plastic buckle plate 900 to be better installed at the connection between the gutter 300 and the glass plate 500, preventing rainwater intrusion and protecting the rubber gasket 510, thus extending the service life of the rubber gasket 510.
