Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of vehicle parking facilities, specifically relating to a carport. Background Technology

[0002] A carport is a protective structure or facility used to protect vehicles from damage caused by natural elements such as sun, rain, and sandstorms. It typically consists of a supporting structure and a roof covering material, and is widely used in public and private areas. Most existing carports are formed by fixing I-shaped columns to the roof structure. While this structure can guide rainwater, the fact that the roof and columns are only fixed together by a supporting structure extending to one side of the columns means that the front and rear edges of the roof are often unsupported. In harsh environments such as strong winds and snowfall, this can easily lead to deformation of the roof. Due to this defect, existing carports connect crossbeams between the supporting structures. However, due to the I-shaped structure of the columns, there is a certain gap between the crossbeams and the carport body when connecting the crossbeams between the supporting structures. In order to fix the carport body and the crossbeams, support members are set at fixed points on the crossbeams to connect the crossbeams and the carport body, thereby fixing the front and rear edges of the carport body at fixed points. Although this method can fix and strengthen the front and rear edges of the carport body, its fixed-point support method is also more likely to cause cracks and other problems at the fixed positions of the front and rear edges of the carport body.

[0003] For example, patent CN221481547U discloses an assembled membrane structure parking shed, including a support rod. U-shaped positioning plates and support plates are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the upper end of the support rod. A positioning support is provided on the inner side of the U-shaped positioning plate. A threaded hole is opened at the bottom of the positioning support, and a connecting bolt is threaded onto the inner surface of the threaded hole. A shed body is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning support. A water collection trough is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod. Drainage pipes are provided at both the front and rear ends of the bottom of the water collection trough. Sealing gaskets are provided between the left and right ends of the top of the water collection trough and one end of the shed body. Although the water collection trough, reinforcing plates, sealing gaskets, threaded holes, connecting bolts, and support plates enable this membrane structure parking shed to achieve the advantages of convenient assembly and rainwater guidance, it does not fix the front and rear edges of the shed body, making it unsuitable for use in harsh environments such as strong winds and snowfall.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a carport that can achieve drainage while being better suited for harsh environments such as strong winds and snowfall is an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the defects existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a carport that can achieve drainage and has good overall structural strength.

[0006] This utility model provides a carport, including a carport body and a shielding component;

[0007] The main body of the carport includes multiple supporting components and connecting components. The multiple supporting components are arranged horizontally at intervals. The connecting components include at least two edge connecting components and multiple middle connecting components. The connecting components are fixedly connected to all supporting components, and the bottom of the supporting components is fixed to the ground.

[0008] The shielding member is fixed to the top of all the supports and the connecting components to form an arch, and the height of the arch increases and / or decreases along the direction intersecting the lateral direction.

[0009] A height-increasing protective component is installed at the maximum height position of the arch surface. The height-increasing protective component is fixed to the edge connector and the shielding component. The thickness of the height-increasing protective component is greater than the thickness of the shielding component.

[0010] Furthermore, the height-enhancing protective component is formed by bending the sheet metal into a multi-layered structure, with the sheet metal and the shielding component integrally molded.

[0012] The height-increasing protective component is fixedly connected to the edge connector via a first fixing component. The first fixing component includes a first pressure plate and a first fixing member. The first pressure plate includes a first rigid plate and a first flexible plate that are attached together. The side of the first flexible plate away from the first rigid plate is attached to the height-increasing protective component. The first fixing member passes through and fixes the first pressure plate, the height-increasing protective component, and the edge connector.

[0013] Furthermore, the support includes a column and a support beam. The bottom of the column is fixed to the ground, and the top is fixed to one end of the support beam. The vertical distance from the support beam to the ground gradually increases along the direction away from the column.

[0014] Furthermore, the cross-sectional height of the support beam gradually decreases in the direction away from the column.

[0015] At least one edge connector is fixed to each end of the support beam, and the middle connector is fixed to the support beam and located between the edge connectors fixed at both ends of the support beam.

[0016] Furthermore, the shielding member is fixed to the support member by a second fixing component, the second fixing component including a second pressure plate and a second fixing member, the second fixing member passing through and fixing the second pressure plate, the shielding member and the support member.

[0018] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes a plurality of lateral connectors fixed to the support member, the plurality of lateral connectors being spaced apart along the height direction of the support member, and at least one lateral connector having a wiring section inside for routing the wires.

[0019] The carport provided by this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0020] (1) By using support components, connecting components, shielding components and their connection and fixing methods, a stable support and protection structure can be achieved with less material usage on the basis of meeting the existing carport structure, ensuring that the carport can drain water while having high structural integrity and safety under complex / severe weather conditions.

[0021] (2) The height-increasing protective component and the shielding component are integrally molded, and the shielding component can be directly used to fix it to the edge connecting component without the need for additional connecting components for fixed-point fixation.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To better understand the above technical solutions, a detailed description of the solutions will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] The terminology used in the embodiments of this utility model is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the utility model. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this utility model and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, and “multiple” generally includes at least two unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0031] It should also be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that an article or device that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such an article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the article or device that includes said element.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a carport that may include a carport body 1 and a shielding component 2. The carport body 1 includes a plurality of supporting components 11 and a connecting component 12. The plurality of supporting components 11 are arranged laterally at intervals. The connecting component 12 includes at least two edge connecting components 121 and a plurality of middle connecting components 122. The connecting component 12 is fixedly connected to all supporting components 11. The bottom of the supporting components 11 is fixed to the ground.

[0033] The shielding member 2 is fixed to the top of all the support members 11 and the connecting assembly 12 to form an arch, and the height of the arch increases and / or decreases along the direction intersecting with the transverse direction; the material of the shielding member 2 may be a membrane material, metal alloy plate, fiberglass FRP plate, polyethylene film, fiberglass board, canvas or other fabric, etc., which is not limited here.

[0034] A height-increasing protective component 3 is installed at the maximum height position of the arch surface. The height-increasing protective component 3 is fixed to the edge connection 121 and the shielding component 2. The thickness of the height-increasing protective component 3 is greater than the thickness of the shielding component 2.

[0035] The main body 1 of the carport serves as the skeleton of the entire carport. The bottom of the support component 11 is fixed to the ground, forming a stable support foundation, distributing the load on the entire carport and improving overall stability. The connecting component 12 fixes all the support components 11 to form a rigid frame, resisting external lateral and vertical forces, while providing support for the shield component 2. The shield component 2 has the functions of shading, rain protection, and wind protection, providing protection for vehicles placed in the carport. The height of the arched surface gradually decreases / increases at least along the direction intersecting with the lateral direction, so that the surface of the shield component 2 forms a natural slope, which is conducive to drainage and avoids water accumulation. Especially during rainfall, it can quickly drain rainwater and keep the carport dry.

[0036] The height-increasing protective component 3 is fixed at the maximum height of the arch surface, fixing the edge connector and the shielding component. Its thickness is greater than that of the shielding component 2. On the one hand, it can compensate for the height difference between the upper surface of the edge connector 121 and the upper surface of the support 11, ensuring the flatness and contact area of ​​the bottom of the shielding component 2 when connected to each component. This avoids the problem of unstable installation or uneven stress of the shielding component 2 due to the need for additional fixed-point fixing components caused by the height difference. It can also ensure that the shielding component 2 is effectively connected to the edge connector 121 while being connected to the support 11, forming a firm connection and enhancing the overall stability. On the other hand, it can improve the edge strength of the shielding component 2, giving it excellent resistance to deformation and damage, and enabling it to maintain good structural strength in harsh environments such as strong winds.

[0037] In this embodiment, the height-enhancing protective component 3 is a multi-layered structure formed by bending a sheet, with the sheet and the shielding component 2 integrally molded. The multi-layered structure of the sheet effectively disperses stress, preventing excessive stress concentration that could lead to damage at the joints. The integral molding of the sheet and the shielding component reduces the risk of delamination and eliminates the need for additional parts, thus reducing assembly difficulty and cost. The multi-layered structure can be either two-layered or three-layered. When the height-enhancing protective component 3 is a three-layered structure, it includes an upper layer, a middle layer, and a lower layer stacked sequentially. The cross-section of the height-enhancing protective component 3 can be spiral or S-shaped, etc. The number of layers of the height-increasing protective component 3 can be determined according to the actual application scenario. For example, when the height-increasing protective component 3 is a double-layer structure, after the height-increasing protective component 3 is fixedly connected to the edge connector 121, the height of the upper surface of the height-increasing protective component 3 is less than the maximum height of the upper surface of the shield 2. In this case, the height-increasing protective component 3 needs to be set as a three-layer structure. This can avoid the situation where there is a space between the fixing component used to fix the height-increasing protective component 3 and the maximum height position of the shield 2 when the height of the upper surface of the height-increasing protective component 3 is less than the maximum height of the upper surface of the shield 2, which would lead to the accumulation of debris.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the height-increasing protective component 3 in this embodiment is illustrated using a double-layer structure as an example. Specifically, the height-increasing protective component 3 may include a first protective component 31 and a second protective component 32. A first protective shaft 33 is provided at the connection position between the first protective component 31 and the second protective component 32, and the first protective shaft 33 is located between the first protective component 31 and the second protective component 32.

[0039] The first protective shaft can distribute stress to various parts of the height-increasing protective component when subjected to external force, preventing stress concentration in one area from causing damage to the height-increasing protective component and extending its service life.

[0040] In another preferred embodiment, the height-increasing protective member 3 is fixedly connected to the edge connector 121 via a first fixing component 34. The first fixing component 34 includes a first pressure plate 341 and a first fixing member 342. The first pressure plate 341 includes a first rigid plate 3411 and a first flexible plate 3412 that are attached together. The side of the first flexible plate 3412 away from the first rigid plate 3411 is attached to the height-increasing protective member 3. The first fixing member 342 passes through and fixes the first pressure plate 341, the height-increasing protective member 3 and the edge connector 121.

[0041] In this embodiment, the edge connector is a circular tube, and the tensile and shear forces on the shielding member are mainly concentrated at the lateral position where the first fixing component is located. The first pressure plate, by setting a double-layer structure of a first hard plate and a first soft plate, can improve the overall strength and rigidity of the connection, and can also disperse the pressure at the connection, avoiding local deformation or damage caused by pressure concentration, and extending the service life of the connection part;

[0042] The first flexible plate can fit tightly against the surface of the heightening protective component, increasing the contact area and making the connection more secure; it can also act as a buffer when subjected to external impact; improve the sealing performance of the connection, prevent rainwater or other foreign objects from seeping in from the connection gap, and enhance the waterproof performance of the carport.

[0043] The first pressure plate and the first protective shaft form a supporting effect, which, together with the first fixing member, improves the tensile strength of the shielding member and reduces the risk of cracks or breakage at the connection point.

[0044] Optionally, the first fastener is a self-tapping screw, which points to the center of the cross-section of the edge connector when it is inserted to fix the first pressure plate, the heightening protective component and the edge connector.

[0045] In another preferred embodiment, the support member 11 includes a column 111 and a support beam 112. The bottom of the column 111 is fixed to the ground, and the top is fixed to one end of the support beam 112. The vertical distance from the support beam 112 to the plane at the bottom of the column 111 that is fixed to the ground gradually increases along the direction of the support beam 112 away from the column 111.

[0046] In another preferred embodiment, the rate of change of the vertical distance along the support beam 112 away from the column 111 gradually decreases, that is, the curvature of the shield 2 gradually decreases along the support beam 112 away from the column 111. The curved surface design of the shield creates a natural drainage slope, allowing rainwater to flow smoothly along the curved surface and preventing water accumulation; the gradually changing curvature design guides rainwater to converge and drain towards the lower side of the shield, improving drainage efficiency; it also slows down the rate at which rainwater flows out of the shield, preventing excessively rapid water flow from impacting the surrounding environment, reducing the erosive force of surface runoff, and protecting surrounding facilities and soil structures.

[0047] In another preferred embodiment, the cross-sectional height of the support beam 112 gradually decreases in the direction away from the column 111.

[0048] The load of the support components is mainly concentrated at the connection between the support beam and the column. The support beam with a larger cross-sectional height near the column can better withstand the larger load and ensure the stability of the structure. The cross-sectional height of the support beam gradually decreases in the direction away from the column, which can reduce the amount of material used and reduce costs.

[0049] In another preferred embodiment, at least one edge connector 121 is fixed to each end of the support beam 112, and the middle connector 122 is fixed to the support beam 111 and located between the edge connectors 121 fixed at both ends of the support beam 112.

[0050] The central connector can further enhance the stability of the support beam and prevent the support beam from deforming in the middle of the span; through the fixed connection with the support beam, the central connector can evenly distribute the load of the shielding component, making the entire structure more balanced in terms of force.

[0051] In one embodiment, each edge connector 121 passes through all support beams 112 to form a through-type structure. This arrangement ensures a tight connection between the support beams and the edge connectors, making the force transmission more uniform and improving the overall stability of the structure.

[0052] In another embodiment, the edge connectors 121 on both sides of the same support beam 112 are staggered, that is, they do not completely penetrate the support beam, but are connected by partial fixing. This arrangement can increase the support effect on the shielding component, make the shielding component distribute the load more evenly when under force, reduce local stress concentration, and improve the service life of the shielding component.

[0053] In another preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the shielding member 2 is fixed to the support member 11 by the second fixing component 4. The second fixing component 4 includes a second pressure plate 41 and a second fixing member 42. The second fixing member 42 passes through and fixes the second pressure plate 41, the shielding member 2 and the support member 11.

[0054] In this embodiment, the support beam includes vertical plates and horizontal plates. The edges of the vertical plates are fixedly connected to the sides of the horizontal plates and are located within the area enclosed by the horizontal plates. A second pressure plate is disposed on the horizontal plates and is fixed to the horizontal plates and shielding members on the upper surface of the support beam by a second fixing member. The stress on the shielding member at the second pressure plate is relatively small. The force requirement can be met by fixing the shielding member with the support beam through the cooperation of the second fixing member. Therefore, the second pressure plate is made of rigid material instead of the rigid plate + flexible plate method of the first pressure plate, which saves materials and reduces costs. The characteristics of rigid material make it not only firmly connected when fixing the shielding member, but also effectively transfer and disperse the weight of the shielding member and wind load to the support beam, ensuring the stability and reliability of the shielding member under various working conditions.

[0055] Optionally, the second pressure plate is made of metal, and the second fastener is a self-tapping screw with a drill bit, the insertion direction of which is perpendicular to the transverse plate on the upper surface of the support beam.

[0056] In another preferred embodiment, the shielding member 2 is fixed with a second protective shaft 21 along both sides of the transverse direction, and an arc-shaped transition section 22 is provided between the second protective shaft 21 and the shielding member 2, and the second pressure plate 41 at least partially abuts against the arc-shaped transition section 22.

[0057] The second protective shaft is used to fix the lateral edges of the shielding component, providing some support and buffering for the shielding component. The arc-shaped transition section 22 evenly and smoothly transmits the force on the shielding component to the support component. The second pressure plate, through the arc-shaped transition section 22, can better fit the shielding component and the protective shaft, working together with the protective shaft to fix the shielding component and the support beam.

[0058] In another preferred embodiment, the connecting component 12 includes a plurality of lateral connecting members 123 fixed to the support member 11. The plurality of lateral connecting members 123 are spaced apart along the height direction of the support member 11, and at least one lateral connecting member 123 has a wiring section inside for passing through the line. Preferably, the lateral connecting member 123 is fixed to the column.

[0059] The addition of transverse connectors further enhances the structural stability of the entire shed frame.

[0060] Optionally, wiring for connecting the distribution box and / or charging pile can be laid within the transverse connector; wiring for the lighting system can also be laid within the transverse connector; wiring for monitoring equipment can also be laid within the transverse connector, etc. Although preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described, those skilled in the art, once they understand the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of this utility model. Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Thus, if these modifications and variations of this utility model fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
