[0064] 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.

[0065] Please see Figures 1-38 This utility model provides a technical solution: a sunshade awning, a bottom frame and a roof frame, and a sheet metal assembly installed on the roof frame, wherein the bottom frame includes at least four support pillar assemblies.

[0066] The bottom frame includes at least four support components, each consisting of an aluminum column 10 as the main load-bearing structure. On the upper part of the aluminum column 10, two first column V-connectors 11 and two second column V-connectors 12 are installed. These V-connectors are used to connect the crossbeams and diagonal braces to enhance the stability of the structure. To further reinforce the aluminum column 10, column inserts 13 are provided inside. The bottom of the aluminum column 10 is fixed with a base plate 14 by bolts. The base plate 14 is used to fix the column to the ground or a pre-set foundation to ensure the stability of the entire awning.

[0067] Furthermore, the bottom frame also includes a first crossbeam assembly and a second crossbeam assembly, which are fixed to the aluminum column 10 by the first column seven-shaped connector 11, forming the horizontal support frame of the awning.

[0068] The first crossbeam assembly refers to the crossbeams along the shorter side, specifically including two first short-side crossbeams 20 and two second short-side crossbeams 21. The second crossbeam assembly refers to the crossbeams along the longer side, specifically including two first long-side crossbeams 22 and two second long-side crossbeams 23. These crossbeams are fixed together by C-groove internal connections 24 and bolts. This connection method makes the crossbeams tightly connected and neat in appearance.

[0069] To facilitate hanging items or installing other accessories, the first short side beam 20 and the second short side beam 21 are respectively fixed with first short side hooks 201 and second short side hooks 211 by bolts, and the first long side beam 22 and the second long side beam 23 are also respectively fixed with first long side hooks 221 and second long side hooks 231 by bolts.

[0070] To enhance aesthetics and structural integrity, corner protectors 25 are installed at the corners of the first and second crossbeam assemblies to cover the corners of the crossbeam connections. At the joints between the crossbeams, outer wrappers 26 are installed to protect and beautify the connection points. In addition, as needed, clips 27 and additional hooks 28 can be installed on the first and second crossbeam assemblies for installing sunshade cloths.

[0071] To further enhance the stability and wind resistance of the bottom frame, a bracing assembly is provided, which includes four first braces 30 and four second braces 31. One end of these braces is fixedly connected to the second column seven-shaped connector 12 on the aluminum column 10, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first crossbeam assembly and the second crossbeam assembly respectively, forming a stable triangular support structure.

[0072] Furthermore, the roof frame is installed on top of the bottom frame to support the sheet metal components and form a shaded area.

[0073] The roof frame includes four corner girders 40, which are located at the four corners of the roof. Skylights 41 are installed on the corner girders 40 to increase lighting. The roof frame also includes four first central girders 42 and several second central girders 43. These central girders, together with the corner girders 40, constitute the load-bearing structure of the roof. Corner protectors 44 are installed at the corners of the roof frame to connect and protect the corner skeleton.

[0074] To close the edges of the roof frame and provide a base surface for mounting sheet metal components, the roof frame also includes a side strip structure 45, which consists of a first side strip 451, a second side strip 452, a third side strip 453 and a fourth side strip 454, which surround the roof frame.

[0075] The assembly of the roof frame also includes a three-hole connector 46 for connecting rods in three directions; an angled connector 47 for connecting at a specific angle; a top rib connector 48, a component specifically for connecting top ribs; a sealing piece 49 for sealing the ends of pipes to prevent rainwater from entering and to increase aesthetics; a corner top rib insert 50 for enhancing the connection strength of the corner top rib 40; an embedded tap nut 51, pre-embedded in the profile for easy screwing in and fixing of bolts; a U-shaped skylight hanger 52 for fixing the skylight 41; a canopy support 53 for auxiliary support of the roof canopy material; and a pad 54 for adjusting gaps and providing a support surface.

[0076] Furthermore, the sheet metal assembly is the top covering material of the awning. The sheet metal assembly is installed on the roof frame. The sheet metal assembly is mainly composed of folded sheet metal 60. This sheet metal is processed by pressing and bending, and has a certain strength and shape. It can effectively block the sun and rain. The folded sheet metal 60 has pre-set mounting holes 61, which can be used to fix it to the roof frame with bolts or other fasteners.

[0077] The bottom frame of this awning uses aluminum columns 10 for support, and is firmly connected to the first and second crossbeam components and diagonal bracing components through the first column V-connector 11 and the second column V-connector 12, forming a stable triangular support structure. This significantly enhances the wind resistance and overall stability of the entire frame. The use of corner ribs 40, central ribs, and various special connectors, such as rib connectors 48 and corner rib inserts 50, in the roof frame ensures the load-bearing capacity and stability of the roof structure.

[0078] Furthermore, each major component, such as the support column assembly, beam assembly, and roof frame assembly, is designed with dedicated connectors and pre-set installation interfaces. This modular and standardized design greatly simplifies the installation process, reduces the workload of on-site processing and adjustment, improves installation efficiency, and reduces reliance on professional skills.

[0079] The main load-bearing structure uses aluminum alloy profiles such as aluminum columns 10, which have good corrosion resistance and light weight, extending service life. The folded iron sheet 60 is used as the roof material, which has good weather resistance. All components are connected by detachable means such as bolts, which facilitates future inspection, replacement or partial maintenance.

[0080] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
