Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shed technology, and in particular to a shed roof component and a shed. Background Technology
[0002] Awnings, as common outdoor structures in daily life, include sunshades and awnings. They mainly consist of a roof and supporting columns. The roof includes multiple beams and top components for assembling the beams. The top components include a main body and multiple connecting pipes. The connecting pipes and the main body are generally connected and fixed by welding or screwing. Then, the connecting pipes are assembled with the beams by welding or screwing. The disadvantages are that the installation operation is relatively cumbersome, the manual assembly cost is high, the assembly requirements are relatively high, and the appearance is not aesthetically pleasing. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a canopy top component and canopy, which solves the problem that the existing top components are relatively cumbersome and inconvenient to assemble.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a canopy top component, comprising a top component body for connecting with canopy beams, characterized in that the top component body comprises a main body and a plurality of connecting pipes, the plurality of connecting pipes being distributed circumferentially around the main body, and one end being integrally formed with the side of the main body, and the other end being used to connect with canopy beams.
[0005] Furthermore, at least two connecting pipes are provided.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution and the design of multiple connecting pipes, it is suitable for different shapes of shed structures, such as pointed sheds, quadrilateral sheds, or other polygonal sheds.
[0007] Furthermore, the connection end between the connecting pipe and the canopy beam is equipped with a ball bearing buckle, which allows for detachable insertion and connection with the canopy beam via the ball bearing buckle.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the ball-and-socket design facilitates quick assembly and connection between the connecting pipe and the roof beam.
[0009] Furthermore, the ball buckle includes an elastic piece on the connecting pipe and a protrusion on the elastic piece. A mating hole is provided on the beam. When the beam and the connecting pipe are inserted into place, the protrusion and the mating hole form an insertion connection to achieve relative insertion and fixation between the two.
[0010] Furthermore, the surface of the connecting pipe has an clearance opening corresponding to the position where the elastic sheet is located, and the elastic sheet is located inside the clearance opening.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the opening is avoided so that the elastic sheet and the connecting tube are integrally formed, avoiding the problem of needing to install independent elastic components, and reducing the number of parts and assembly steps.
[0012] Furthermore, the connecting pipe includes a main pipe connected to the side of the main body and an insert pipe located at one end of the main pipe, the shape of which is adapted to the shape of the cavity formed inside the canopy beam.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the shape of the insertion tube is adapted to the cavity of the roof beam, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection.
[0014] Furthermore, the end of the elastic sheet is provided with an elastic guide plate. The elastic guide plate is used to guide the bending of the elastic sheet when the connecting pipe is inserted into the canopy beam, so as to avoid the canopy beam and the protrusion hitting and getting stuck.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the elastic guide plate allows the end of the beam to press against the elastic guide plate during insertion between the beam and the connecting pipe. This, in turn, causes the elastic guide plate to bend inwards towards the connecting pipe, facilitating insertion and preventing the beam from directly contacting the protrusion and causing jamming. This effectively improves the smoothness of the insertion process. Furthermore, once inserted, the elastic force applied by the guide plate to the beam further enhances the tightness of the assembly, preventing vibration and noise caused by gaps and improving the user experience.
[0016] Furthermore, the contact surface between the elastic guide plate and the canopy beam is an arc surface.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the curved surface makes it easier for the elastic sheet to deform when it comes into contact with the canopy beam, so as to allow the insertion between the canopy beam and the connecting pipe.
[0018] Furthermore, the height of the elastic guide plate on the elastic plate is less than the height of the protrusion on the elastic plate.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, this height design avoids the crossbar from being too high and thus hindering the insertion between the crossbar and the connecting pipe, thereby improving the smoothness of the insertion.
[0020] A canopy, comprising the aforementioned canopy roof component.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0022] 1. In this utility model, the main body and the connecting pipe are integrally formed, which has the following advantages:
[0023] ① No welds or joints, uniform stress distribution, avoiding localized weakening caused by welding and the relatively complicated product assembly issues associated with bolted connections;

[0025] ③ The one-piece molding structure improves the product's appearance and eliminates the need for welding, drilling, or tapping during production. It is formed directly through a mold in one step, reducing production costs and time and effectively improving production efficiency.

The side setting also makes it convenient for operators to observe the position of the connecting pipe, so as to facilitate the user's assembly operation between the entire top component and the canopy beam.

[0037] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0038] Reference Figure 1A canopy typically includes a roof and supporting columns. The roof typically includes multiple roof beams 1 and a top component 2 for assembling the multiple roof beams 1. The top component 2 includes a main body 21 and several connecting pipes 22. The connecting pipes 22 are used to connect with the roof beams 1. The several connecting pipes 22 are distributed circumferentially around the main body 21 and are integrally formed with the side of the main body 21. This has the following advantages: no welds or connecting seams, uniform overall stress, avoiding the problem of local weakening caused by welding and the relatively cumbersome product assembly problem of bolted connections; the integrated structure is less prone to cracking under long-term load, and the product has good structural strength; the integrated molding structure has better product aesthetics, and no welding or drilling or tapping is required during production. It can be directly formed by mold in one step, reducing production costs and time, and effectively improving production efficiency.
[0039] In this embodiment, the connecting pipe 22 is located on the outer periphery of the main body 21, which avoids the problem of inconvenience in assembling the connecting pipe 22 with the canopy beam 1 when the existing connecting pipe 22 is located at the bottom of the main body 21. The side setting also makes it convenient for operators to observe and facilitates the assembly operation between the top part 2 and the canopy beam 1.
[0040] Reference Figure 2 and 7 Taking a shed as an example, at least two connecting pipes 22 are required. However, due to the different shapes of sheds, the number of connecting pipes 22 can be two, three, or four. Figure 7 (as shown), seven ( Figure 5 (As shown) or more, but will not be elaborated here.
[0041] In this embodiment, Figure 2 The top part of the component is in an open state. This is only for the purpose of creating the component structure and is not limited to being open. In practice, it can be covered by an openable cover to determine whether it is in an open state. Of course, it can also be a closed integrated structure, which will not be elaborated here.
[0042] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and 3 As a detachable connection method between the connecting pipe 22 and the canopy beam 1, a ball buckle can be set on the connecting pipe 22, and the ball buckle can be used to realize the quick assembly of the two when the connecting pipe 22 and the canopy beam 1 are inserted and matched.
[0043] Specifically, the connection between the canopy beam 1 and the connecting pipe 22 can be either the connecting pipe 22 being inserted inside the canopy beam 1, or the canopy beam 1 being inserted inside the connecting pipe 22. In this embodiment, taking the connection of the connecting pipe 22 being inserted inside the canopy beam 1 as an example, the canopy beam 1 has a cavity inside to allow the connecting pipe 22 to be inserted. The ball buckle includes an elastic piece 222 on the side of the connecting pipe 22 and a protrusion 2221 on the elastic piece 222. The protrusion 2221 protrudes from the surface of the connecting pipe 22. The surface of the canopy beam 1 is provided with... The mating hole 11 corresponding to the protrusion 2221 allows the protrusion 2221 to be manually squeezed by external force when the beam 1 and the connecting pipe 22 are inserted. This causes the protrusion 2221 to retract into the connecting pipe 22 through the elastic plate 222, allowing the connecting pipe 22 to be inserted into the cavity inside the beam 1. After the beam 1 and the connecting pipe 22 are inserted into place, the elastic plate 222 returns to its original position so that the protrusion 2221 is inserted into the mating hole 11, thereby achieving the insertion and fixation between the beam 1 and the connecting pipe 22.
[0044] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 4 To further improve the ease of assembly between the connecting pipe 22 and the beam 1, an elastic guide plate 2222 is provided at the end of the elastic plate 222. The elastic guide plate 2222 is used to guide the beam 1 and the connecting pipe 22 to complete the connection when the beam 1 and the connecting pipe 22 are connected. This avoids the beam 1 directly contacting the protrusion 2221, which could easily cause the connection to jam. In this way, there is no need to manually squeeze the protrusion 2221 when the connecting pipe 22 and the beam 1 are connected, and the connection between the connecting pipe 22 and the beam 1 can be quickly assembled and connected.
[0045] In this embodiment, through the design of the elastic guide plate 2222, after the connecting pipe 22 is inserted into the canopy beam 1, the elastic guide plate 2222 can apply an elastic force to the inner wall of the canopy beam 1, thereby making the canopy beam 1 and the connecting pipe 22 more tightly connected, which helps to reduce the assembly gap between the two, and thus reduce the shaking noise caused by the product due to the gap.
[0046] Preferably, the elastic guide plate 2222 has an arc-shaped contact surface with the canopy beam 1. By utilizing the guiding effect of the arc-shaped surface, the connecting pipe 22 and the cavity of the canopy beam 1 can be aligned when the elastic guide plate 2222 is inserted, so as to facilitate the insertion and assembly of the two.
[0047] In this embodiment, the height of the elastic guide plate 2222 is less than the height of the protrusion 2221. Preferably, it can be half the height of the protrusion 2221 to ensure that after the elastic plate 2222 drives the protrusion 2221 to elastically reset, the protrusion 2221 can be stably inserted into the mating hole 11 without being affected by the elastic guide plate 2222.
[0048] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3 and 4 The end of the protrusion 2221 is preferably provided with an arc-shaped chamfer so that when the canopy beam 1 comes into contact with the protrusion 2221, the arc-shaped chamfer can reduce the probability of jamming when the canopy beam 1 is inserted into the connecting pipe 22.
[0049] In the above embodiments, the shapes of the connecting pipe 22 and the canopy beam 1 are adapted so that they can be inserted and combined with each other. The shapes of the two can be cylinders, square prisms, triangular prisms or other polygonal prisms. In this embodiment, taking the square prism structure as an example, the elastic sheet 222 can be provided at the bottom of the connecting pipe 22, and the corresponding mating hole 11 is provided at the bottom of the canopy beam 1.
[0050] Preferably, in order to facilitate the installation of elastic sheet 222 on the connecting tube 22 and optimize the component structure layout, an avoidance opening 221 is provided at the bottom of the connecting tube 22, and the elastic sheet 222 is integrally formed in the avoidance opening 221. This helps to avoid the problem of needing to install the independent elastic sheet 222 separately, and reduces the number of parts and assembly steps.
[0051] Reference Figure 5 and 6 In the above embodiment, the connecting pipe 22 is inserted into the canopy beam 1 as a whole to connect with the canopy beam 1. Further, the connecting pipe 22 may include a main pipe 22a and an insert pipe 22b. The insert pipe 22b is integrally formed with the main body 21 through the main pipe 22a. The external dimensions of the main pipe 22a are the same as the external dimensions of the canopy beam 1, while the shape of the insert pipe 22b is adapted to the shape of the cavity inside the canopy beam 1. In this way, when the connecting pipe 22 is inserted into the canopy beam 1, it can be inserted into the canopy beam 1 simply through the insert pipe 22b.
[0052] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, it should be clearly understood that various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
