[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0025] In current canopy construction technology, the canopy structure mainly consists of multiple interconnected steel pipes, supplemented by a tarpaulin. However, the connection methods between these steel pipes are relatively complex, affecting the overall installation efficiency of the canopy.

[0026] To resolve the above technical issues, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-2 This application provides a canopy steel pipe connection structure, including a joint 110, a connector 120, and a positioning component 130.

[0027] The connector 110 is used to connect with the steel pipe 2. Since there are at least two connectors 110, one canopy steel pipe connection structure 1 can connect at least two steel pipes 2. A canopy can be provided with multiple canopy steel pipe connection structures 1, so as to assemble multiple steel pipes 2 together, thereby assembling the entire canopy frame, and then combining it with the tarpaulin to achieve the assembly of the canopy.

[0028] The connector 120 is detachably connected to the joint 110. The connector 120 is used to connect the joint 110 to the steel pipe 2 to restrict movement of the connection structure relative to the steel pipe 2. The detachable connector 120 makes the installation process more flexible and convenient. Workers do not need to perform complicated welding or permanent fixing operations; they can simply install the connector 120 onto the joint 110.

[0029] In addition, the detachable connector 120 makes the canopy structure more compact and lightweight during transportation, which helps to reduce transportation costs and space occupation. When storing, the connector 120 and the joint 110 can be stored separately, saving storage space and making management easier.

[0030] The detachable connector 120 also provides great convenience when the canopy structure needs to be disassembled or reassembled, reducing the difficulty and time cost of disassembly.

[0031] The positioning element 130 is provided on the connector 110 and is used to limit the relative proximity of the connector 110 and the steel pipe 2 when the connector 110 is connected to the steel pipe 2. The positioning element 130 pre-positions the connector 110 and the steel pipe 2 to ensure that they are in the correct installation position, reducing the adjustment and correction work during installation, so that the connector 120 can install the connector 110 and the steel pipe 2, thereby improving the installation efficiency.

[0032] It should be understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the canopy steel pipe connection structure 1 can be made of stainless steel, or other metal materials with corrosion resistance and rust prevention properties such as alloy steel.

[0033] The connector 110 has an abutting surface facing the steel pipe 2, the abutting surface forming the positioning member 130, and the steel pipe 2 can be sleeved on the connector 110;

[0034] When the steel pipe 2 is sleeved on the joint 110, the abutting surface can abut against the end face of the steel pipe 2 to limit the joint 110 from getting too close to the steel pipe 2.

[0035] The positioning function is integrated into the mating surface of connector 110, eliminating the need for separate positioning components (such as pins and snap rings), thus reducing the types of parts and assembly complexity. The integrated design reduces production costs and avoids installation delays caused by the loss of small parts.

[0036] The insert-type connecting guide steel pipe 2 automatically aligns, and the planar fit between the contact surface and the end face provides intuitive installation feedback. Construction workers can judge whether the installation is in place by feel without measurement, significantly improving on-site assembly efficiency, and is especially suitable for low-skilled workers.

[0037] Users can also install an elastic sealing ring between the contact surface and the end face of the steel pipe 2, which can not only reduce wear, but also play a certain role in isolating rainwater.

[0038] Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 The connector 120 includes a bolt 121 and a nut 122. The joint 110 has a first connecting hole. The bolt 121 passes through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole on the steel pipe 2. The nut 122 can cooperate with the bolt 121 to connect the joint 110 and the steel pipe 2.

[0039] The connector 110 has a first connection hole, while the steel pipe 2 has a second connection hole. After the bolt 121 passes through these two connection holes, the connector 110 and the steel pipe 2 are firmly connected by the cooperation of the nut 122 and the bolt 121. Common bolts 121 and nuts 122 are used as connectors 120. These components are easy to obtain, inexpensive and easy to maintain.

[0040] The connector 120 can be provided in one or multiple ways, thereby further enhancing the stability of the connection between the joint 110 and the steel pipe 2.

[0041] It is also understood that the connector 120 includes at least one of self-tapping screws, rivets, and pins. It should be understood that when using automatic screws, threaded holes are first made in the connector 110 and the steel pipe 2, and then the self-tapping screws are screwed in. When using rivets and pins, holes need to be pre-drilled in the connector 110 and the steel pipe 2.

[0042] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 1-2 The joint 110 is fitted onto the steel pipe 2;

[0043] Optionally, the canopy steel pipe connection structure 1 includes two joints 110, wherein the centerlines of the two joints 110 are on a first straight line, and the collinear centerlines form a pure axial force transmission path, eliminating eccentric moments. When the steel pipe is subjected to lateral loads (such as wind pressure), the two joints share the load synchronously, avoiding structural torsion caused by single-point force, significantly improving the overall lateral stiffness, and is especially suitable for large-span canopies or areas with strong winds.

[0044] The linear structure is naturally suited to rectangular / parallelogram canopy layouts, facilitating installation parallel / perpendicular to the building facade. When canopy extension is required, modular expansion can be achieved by simply replicating the linear units, maintaining structural continuity.

[0045] Optionally, the canopy steel pipe connection structure 1 includes three joints 110, wherein the center lines of two joints 110 are on the first straight line, and the center line of the other joint 110 is perpendicular to the first straight line, that is, the canopy steel pipe connection structure 1 is similar to a tee pipe structure.

[0046] The combination of three joints 110 forms a stable triangular support structure. The centerlines of two joints 110 are on the same straight line, and their combination with the third vertical joint 110 effectively distributes the load borne by the canopy, enhancing the stability of the entire structure.

[0047] The vertical joint 110 allows the canopy to be expanded vertically, increasing its coverage area and height. This layout also allows the canopy to better adapt to different terrains and building environments.

[0048] Optionally, the canopy steel pipe connection structure 1 includes four joints 110, wherein the center lines of two joints 110 are on a first straight line, and the center lines of the other two joints 110 are on a second straight line, and the first straight line is perpendicular to the second straight line.

[0049] The combination of four joints 110 forms a very stable cross-shaped structure. Two joints 110 are on the first straight line, and the other two joints 110 are on the second straight line, with the two lines perpendicular to each other. This layout greatly enhances the overall stability of the canopy, enabling it to withstand greater wind force and other external loads.

[0050] The vertical joint 110 layout allows the canopy to be effectively supported in both horizontal and vertical directions, thereby improving space utilization and enabling the canopy to cover a larger area while maintaining structural compactness and stability.
