[0024] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] A spherical frame for a sunroom, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, it includes a frame assembly, which is spherical in shape. The frame assembly is formed by splicing multiple sets of plates 1 to form a waterproof structure. Each set of plates 1 has multiple sets of slots 3 on one side and multiple sets of plug-in components fixed to the other side of each set of plates 1. The slots 3 and plug-in components are located near the edge of the plates 1. The plug-in components are engaged with the slots 3 for pre-assembly of the plates 1. The splicing parts of adjacent plates 1 are fixed together by rivets 2.

[0026] The sunroom uses a waterproof frame structure formed by splicing multiple sets of panels 1 without additional metal steel support, maximizing the area for sunlight transmission. During assembly, the panels 1 are pre-assembled using slots 3 and plug-in components, and then fixed with rivets 2. This simplifies the assembly of the panels 1. Before fixing with rivets 2, the shape can be observed during pre-assembly, and any problems can be disassembled and modified. Finally, the panels 1 are fixed with rivets 2, ensuring a firm connection between them and a stable sunroom frame structure. The modular assembly of the sunroom frame results in a compact assembly structure, facilitating transportation and assembly.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shape of the plate 1 includes pentagons and hexagons. The plate 1 located at the bottom of the frame assembly is cut to keep the bottom of the frame assembly flush. A shielding component is snapped on the plate 1 to prevent dust or rainwater from entering the interior of the splicing part of the plate 1.

[0028] Because the sunroom is hemispherical in shape, the shape of panel 1 is not fixed. Panels 1 at the corners and bottom are cut to maintain the neatness of the corners and bottom. Since multiple panels 1 are spliced ​​together in a layered manner, rainwater can easily splash into the spliced ​​parts. Installing a shielding component above this part can prevent rainwater from splashing into the spliced ​​parts.

[0029] like Figures 2-4 As shown, each of the multiple sets of slots 3 has a locking post 4 fixedly connected inside. Each locking post 4 has a groove 5 on both sides. The plug-in assembly includes a socket 6, which is fixedly connected to the plate 1. The socket 6 is plugged into the slot 3. Two sets of locking strips 7 are fixedly connected to the socket 6. The ends of the two sets of locking strips 7 are respectively engaged with the two sets of grooves 5.

[0030] When splicing the board 1, the socket 6 on one side of the board 1 is inserted into the corresponding slot 3. The two sets of locking strips 7 are squeezed and separated to both sides of the locking post 4, and then snapped into the groove 5 of the locking post 4, so that the plug-in component can be stably plugged into the slot 3, and multiple sets of board 1 can be pre-assembled by snapping.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, each of the multiple sets of slots 3 has two sets of locking teeth 9 fixedly connected to it. The two sets of locking teeth 9 are located on both sides of the locking post 4, and the two sets of locking teeth 9 are respectively engaged with the two sets of locking strips 7 to increase the locking firmness of the locking strips 7.

[0032] During the process of locking bar 7 entering slot 3 and engaging with locking post 4, the end of locking tooth 9 engages with locking bar 7, thereby increasing the assembly stability of plate 1.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, a locking tooth 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the locking tooth 9, and a locking slot 8 is opened at the end of the locking strip 7. The locking tooth 10 and the locking slot 8 are engaged to increase the tightness of the engagement between the locking strip 7 and the locking post 4.

[0034] During the process of locking strip 7 entering slot 3 and engaging with locking post 4, locking teeth 10 enter slot 8, applying resistance to locking strip 7 disengaging from locking post 4, increasing the connection firmness. When disassembling, forcefully pulling plate 1 can separate the assembled plate 1.

[0035] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the shielding assembly includes a cover plate 11, one end of which is fixedly connected to an inclined end 12, which is in contact with the plate 1. A retaining strip 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the cover plate 11, which is inserted into the slot 3 and the end of the retaining strip 13 is engaged with the groove 5.

[0036] The inclined end 12 increases the fit between the shielding component and the plate 1. Both the cover plate 11 and the plate 1 are made of transparent material. Other structures are made of transparent material as much as possible to increase the area through which sunlight is transmitted. The cover plate 11 is installed by snapping it with the locking post 4 via the clip 13, which makes it easy to install and remove.

[0037] The working principle of the spherical frame of the sunroom provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0038] The sunroom uses a waterproof frame structure formed by splicing multiple sets of panels 1 without additional metal steel support, maximizing the area for sunlight transmission. During assembly, the panels 1 are pre-assembled using slots 3 and plug-in components, and then fixed with rivets 2. This simplifies the assembly of the panels 1. Before fixing with rivets 2, the shape can be observed during pre-assembly, and any problems can be disassembled and modified. Finally, the panels 1 are fixed with rivets 2, ensuring a firm connection between them and a stable sunroom frame structure. The modular assembly of the sunroom frame results in a compact assembly structure, facilitating transportation and assembly.

[0039] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
