Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment provides an eco-friendly energy-saving canopy to solve the problem in the prior art where canopies with flat roofs 2 are prone to generating a heat island effect in the space under the canopy during hot summer weather.

[0026] Includes: a support mechanism 1, which includes a column 11, a canopy 2 on the column 11, a sunshade 21 arranged in a V-shape, sound-absorbing cotton 22 inside the sunshade 21, and the sunshade 21 is fixedly installed on the top of the column 11.

[0027] It should be noted that the column 11 is made of stainless steel and the inner wall of the column 11 is provided with a waterproof and rust-proof coating, such as waterproof and rust-proof paint sprayed on the inner wall of the column 11. The sunshade 21 is made of composite aluminum plate and has a cavity inside, and the sound-absorbing cotton 22 is laid in the cavity.

[0028] Furthermore, the sound-absorbing cotton 22 can effectively reduce the noise generated by rain hitting the top of the sunshade 21, thereby significantly improving the user experience in the space under the awning during rainy days.

[0029] Furthermore, the sunshade 21 is shaped like an airplane wing, and its thickness decreases as it approaches the two ends of the sunshade 21. With this airflow-guiding shape, in hot summer weather, the hot air from the ground is more easily guided by the sunshade 21 to the area above the canopy 2 during its ascent, thereby preventing the hot air from accumulating in the space under the canopy and effectively solving the problem of the heat island effect.

[0030] A circulation mechanism 3 is provided on the column 11. The circulation mechanism 3 includes a water collection tank 33 located at the bottom of the column 11. A water collection trough is provided in the recess of the sunshade 21. A downpipe 31 is connected between the water collection trough and the water collection tank 33. A water pumping component 35 is provided on the water collection tank 33. The output end of the water pumping component 35 is connected to the column 11, and the input end of the water pumping component 35 is connected to the water collection tank 33. Several horizontal pipes 36 are connected on the column 11. A vertical pipe 37 is connected between adjacent horizontal pipes 36. A self-sealing component 38 is provided inside the column 11.

[0031] It should be noted that the specifications and dimensions of the water collection tank 33 can be adjusted according to the actual situation. The water pumping component 35 is a water pump, on which a water pumping pipe and a water delivery pipe are installed. The water pumping pipe extends into the water collection tank 33, and the water delivery pipe extends into the column 11. The horizontal pipe 36 and the vertical pipe 37 connected on the column 11 are both flat pipes to increase the contact area with air.

[0032] In this embodiment, the specific implementation scenario is as follows: by designing the canopy roof 2 into a specific V-shape similar to an airplane wing, the probability of a heat island effect in the space under the canopy can be reduced by utilizing its structural characteristics; at the same time, by utilizing the structural characteristics of the canopy roof 2, in conjunction with the water collection tank and circulation mechanism 3, rainwater can be fully utilized. By accumulating rainwater in the water collection tank 33, and circulating the water in the water collection tank 33 to the horizontal pipe 36 and vertical pipe 37 during hot summer weather, the heat in the space under the canopy can be further absorbed, thereby further solving the problem of the heat island effect in the space under the canopy.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Based on Example 1, refer to the appendix of the specification. Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment provides a circulation mechanism 3 to solve the problem of high temperature in the space under the canopy during hot summer weather in the prior art;

[0035] The self-sealing component 38 includes a limiting plate 381 installed inside the column 11, a connecting rod 382 slidably mounted on the limiting plate 381, a sealing plug 383 at the bottom end of the connecting rod 382, ​​a return water inlet 386 on the water collection tank 33, the sealing plug 383 and the return water inlet 386 being adapted to each other, a spring 384 on the opposite side of the sealing plug 383 and the limiting plate 381, and a float ball 385 at the top end of the connecting rod 382.

[0036] It should be noted that the specifications and dimensions of the connecting rod 382 can be adjusted according to the actual situation to adapt to the water storage requirements in the horizontal pipe 36 and the vertical pipe 37. When the float 385 is not lifted by the buoyancy of the water, the water in the horizontal pipe 36 and the vertical pipe 37 will continue to increase. When the float 385 is lifted by the buoyancy of the water, the float 385 will drive the sealing plug 383 to rise and open the return water port 386, so that the water source in the horizontal pipe 36 and the vertical pipe 37 can start to circulate into the water collection tank 33, and at the same time ensure that the horizontal pipe 36 and the vertical pipe 37 are always filled with water.

[0037] Furthermore, the horizontal tubes 36 and vertical tubes 37 can be installed on the outside of the column 11, which serves as the main support of the canopy, in various ways, such as symmetrical arrangement. These are well-known and mature technologies in the art, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0038] The water collection tank 33 is connected to an inlet pipe 387 and a drain pipe 388, and the inlet pipe 387 is connected to a water supply device.

[0039] It should be noted that the water supply device can be a tap for residential water use or municipal water supply. By setting up the inlet pipe 387, the water collection tank 33 can be replenished in time when there is a shortage of water. By setting up the drain pipe 388, the water content in the water collection tank 33 can always be kept at a suitable level, so as to avoid collecting too much rainwater during the rainy season and causing rainwater to overflow from the filter cover 32, which would affect the people under the awning.

[0040] Several heat-conducting pipes 39 are provided at the bottom of the water collection tank 33, and the heat-conducting pipes 39 extend into the water collection tank 33.

[0041] It should be noted that the water collection tank 33 is made of a metal material with good thermal conductivity, such as carbon steel or aluminum alloy. The specifications and dimensions of the heat conduction pipe 39 can be adjusted according to the actual situation. When the canopy is installed on the bare soil surface, or when the building materials laid at the installation location can be easily removed, such as on a movable brick-paved ground, the heat conduction pipe 39 can be installed in the water collection tank 33 and extended to a certain depth underground, such as 2 meters. By utilizing the characteristic that the underground soil maintains a relatively constant temperature all year round, the water source in the water collection tank 33 can always be kept at a low temperature during the hot summer weather, similar to well water during the hot summer weather. This further reduces the temperature in the space under the canopy during the summer, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0042] Furthermore, the heat pipe 39 can be a solid metal pipe or a hollow metal pipe (such as a copper heat pipe for laptop cooling). The hollow metal pipe is pre-filled with a heat-conducting medium, such as water or ethanol. The medium can circulate and evaporate / condense, a well-known and mature technology in this art, and will not be elaborated further in this embodiment. This allows the water in the tank to be cooled by utilizing the significant temperature difference between the deep soil and the surface during hot summer weather, thereby reducing the temperature within the space under the canopy.

[0043] The heat pipe 39 can be made of galvanized steel pipe to improve its durability.

[0044] A filter cover 32 is installed at the top of the downpipe 31, and a filter screen 34 is installed on the water collection tank 33. The filter screen 34 is compatible with the downpipe 31.

[0045] It should be noted that the filter cover 32 can filter out debris such as leaves, and the filter screen 34 can further filter out small particulate impurities in the water, thereby preventing blockage during water circulation.

[0046] Furthermore, both the filter cover 32 and the filter screen 34 are installed in their respective positions using a detachable connection method, such as by using bolts.

[0047] A tension beam 12 is provided at the top of the column 11, a crossbeam 13 is provided on the tension beam 12, and several reinforcing plates 14 are provided on the tension beam 12.

[0048] It should be noted that the canopy adopts a large-span cantilever design, and the installation of tension beams 12, crossbeams 13 and reinforcing plates 14 can significantly improve the stability and seismic performance of the overall structure of the equipment.

[0049] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
