[0023] 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.

[0024] In current carport construction technology, the canopy needs to be connected to the support frame. In related technologies, the canopy fabric usually needs to be trimmed before it is connected to the support frame, which not only poses a possibility of water leakage but also makes the connection method quite complicated.

[0025] To resolve the above technical issues, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-2 This application provides a carport canopy connection node, including a first upright 110, a second upright 120, and a plurality of fasteners 130.

[0026] The first upright 110 can be a hollow tube, and to ensure its strength, it can be made of stainless steel. The outer periphery of the first upright 110 is provided with a first connecting plate 111, and the first connecting plate 111 is provided with a plurality of first connecting holes 112. It can be understood that the first connecting plate 111 is disposed at the end of the first upright 110.

[0027] The second upright 120 is arranged opposite to the first upright 110 along the length of the first upright 110, that is, above the first upright 110. The second upright 120 can be a hollow tube, and to ensure its strength, it can be made of stainless steel. The outer periphery of the second upright 120 is provided with a second connecting plate 121. The second connecting plate 121 is provided with a plurality of second connecting holes. The plurality of first connecting holes 112 are connected to the plurality of second connecting holes one by one. An installation space for the tarpaulin 2 to pass through is formed between the first connecting plate 111 and the second connecting plate 121.

[0028] Multiple fasteners 130 pass through the first connecting hole 112 and the second connecting hole to fix the first upright 110 and the second upright 120 relative to each other, such that the first connecting plate 111 is attached to the first side of the tarpaulin 2 and the second connecting plate 121 is attached to the second side of the tarpaulin 2.

[0029] Fastener 130 can be a self-drilling bolt, meaning that fastener 130 can directly puncture the tarpaulin 2 during the connection process, so there is no need to trim the tarpaulin 2, and the tarpaulin 2 can be quickly connected to the carport canopy connection node 1. Since the tarpaulin 2 is pressed together by the first connecting plate 111 and the second connecting plate 121 on both sides, rainwater is unlikely to penetrate the tarpaulin 2 through the connection between the tarpaulin 2 and the first connecting plate 111 and the second connecting plate 121, thereby reducing the possibility of water seepage.

[0030] Further, please refer to Figure 1 The first connecting plate 111 is annular, and a plurality of first connecting holes 112 are evenly spaced around the axis of the first connecting plate 111; and / or,

[0031] The second connecting plate 121 is annular, and multiple second connecting holes are evenly spaced around the axis of the second connecting plate 121.

[0032] The uniformly spaced holes on the annular first connecting plate 111 and the second connecting plate 121 mean that the fasteners 130 can be evenly distributed across the entire first connecting plate 111 and the second connecting plate 121. This means that the weight of the tarpaulin 2 and the forces generated by the external environment (such as wind and rain) can be more evenly transmitted to the first upright 110 and the second upright 120, thereby reducing the risk of local overload and enhancing the overall stability of the structure.

[0033] The evenly distributed fasteners 130 better disperse the pressure exerted on the connection nodes by the tarpaulin 2 and the external environment. This pressure dispersion helps prevent damage to the connection nodes due to excessive local pressure, thereby improving the strength and durability of the connection nodes.

[0034] When the tarpaulin 2 is evenly clamped between the annular first connecting plate 111 and the second connecting plate 121, the contact area between the tarpaulin 2 and the first connecting plate 111 and the second connecting plate 121 is more uniform, reducing wrinkles or gaps caused by uneven clamping of the tarpaulin 2, thereby helping to improve the waterproof performance of the carport awning.

[0035] It is understood that the first connecting plate 111 can be connected to the first upright 110 by welding or bolts, and the second connecting plate 121 can be connected to the second upright 120 by welding or bolts, without any restrictions.

[0036] To further reduce the possibility of water seepage from the tarpaulin 2, in one embodiment of this application, a first sealing ring is provided on the side of the first connecting plate 111 facing the second connecting plate 121, and the first sealing ring is located outside the first connecting hole 112; and / or,

[0037] The second connecting plate 121 has a second sealing ring on the side facing the first connecting plate 111, and the second sealing ring is located outside the second connecting hole.

[0038] The main function of the first and second sealing rings is to prevent moisture, dust, and other impurities from seeping into the internal structure of the carport canopy through the connecting holes. When the tarpaulin 2 is sandwiched between the first connecting plate 111 and the second connecting plate 121, and the fastener 130 is fixed through the connecting holes, the first and second sealing rings can fit tightly between the tarpaulin 2 and the connecting plates, forming an effective waterproof barrier.

[0039] It should be understood that only the first sealing ring may exist, or only the second sealing ring may exist, or both the first and second sealing rings may exist simultaneously, and the diameter of the first sealing ring may be smaller than the diameter of the second sealing ring, or the diameter of the second sealing ring may be smaller than the diameter of the first sealing ring, so as to achieve misaligned installation when the first connecting plate 111 and the second connecting plate 121 are attached to the tarpaulin 2.

[0040] The first and second sealing rings are typically made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, such as rubber or silicone. These materials maintain their elasticity and sealing performance over a long period, thereby increasing the durability of the connection joint.

[0041] Furthermore, when the first connecting plate 111 is provided with a first sealing ring, the side of the first connecting plate 111 facing the second connecting plate 121 is provided with a first groove, and part of the first sealing ring is provided in the first groove;

[0042] When the second connecting plate 121 is provided with a second sealing ring, the side of the second connecting plate 121 facing the first connecting plate 111 is provided with a second groove, and part of the second sealing ring is provided in the second groove.

[0043] By setting the first and second grooves, the first and second sealing rings can be limited, ensuring that the first and second sealing rings can fit more tightly between the tarpaulin 2 and the corresponding connecting plate during installation. This reduces the displacement or deformation of the first and second sealing rings during installation, thereby improving the sealing effect and more effectively preventing the infiltration of moisture, dust and other impurities.

[0044] Optionally, the second upright 120 is provided with two first connecting frames 140 at the end away from the first upright 110, and the two first connecting frames 140 are arranged on both sides of the first upright 110 along the radial direction of the second upright 120.

[0045] The two first connecting frames 140 can be connected to the tarpaulin 2 frame by connecting rods. Since the two first connecting frames 140 are arranged radially on both sides of the first upright 110 along the second upright 120, they can form a stable triangular structure, thereby improving the stability of the entire carport.

[0046] Furthermore, a reinforcing base 150 is provided at the end of the first upright 110 away from the second upright 120. The reinforcing base 150 can significantly increase the contact area between the first upright 110 and the ground, thereby improving its anti-overturning ability. Under severe weather conditions such as strong winds and heavy rain, the reinforcing base 150 can ensure the stability of the carport canopy structure and prevent it from collapsing or deforming.

[0047] Understandably, the reinforcing base 150 has bolt holes that can be connected to the pre-embedded bolts in the ground, thus facilitating the fixed installation of the entire carport canopy connection node 1.
