Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of carport technology and relates to a staggered structure carport for open-air parking spaces. Background Technology
[0002] Existing carports, whether bicycle sheds or carports, are all designed with a single height space on one side. This restricts the parking of vehicles of different heights. For example, cars cannot be parked in bicycle sheds, and heavy trucks cannot be parked in carports, while bicycles or electric vehicles are parked in carports, resulting in wasted space. Similarly, parking cars in heavy truck sheds also results in wasted space.
[0003] The existing design of integrated double-sided carports features a symmetrical structure with the lowest point in the middle. This structure requires significant wind and snow load capacity, making it susceptible to damage in strong winds and collapse under the weight of heavy snow. To meet the requirements for strong winds or heavy snow, the supporting structure of the integrated double-sided carport needs to be enlarged, thus increasing the cost. Furthermore, this type of carport can only accommodate cars or heavy trucks; carports cannot accommodate heavy trucks, while heavy trucks can accommodate cars, resulting in wasted space. Additionally, the mixing of different vehicle types creates parking safety risks. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a staggered structure carport that can withstand both wind and heavy snow loads.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a single-support staggered structure carport comprising at least two staggered structure support bodies and a top-level shielding part that is spatially misaligned and whose planar projections are partially or completely offset from each other and fixed thereon.
[0006] Preferably, the staggered structure support body is a two-layer staggered structure support body, which includes a base, a column, a low cantilever and a high cantilever, wherein the column is connected to the base by welding or bolts, and the low cantilever and high cantilever are respectively staggered by welding or flange connection around the column.
[0007] Preferably, the columns, low cantilever, and high cantilever are made of square steel, round steel, or H-beams.
[0008] Preferably, the staggered structure support body is a three-layer staggered structure support body, which includes a base, a column, a low cantilever, a middle cantilever and a high cantilever, wherein the column is connected to the base by welding or bolts, and the low cantilever, middle cantilever and high cantilever are respectively staggered by welding or flange connection around the column.
[0009] Preferably, the columns, low cantilever, medium cantilever, and high cantilever are made of square steel, round steel, or H-beams.
[0010] Preferably, the top-level shading section uses several photovoltaic modules.
[0011] This utility model patent also provides another double-support structure staggered structure carport, including two two-layer staggered structure support bodies and a top layer shielding part fixed between them.
[0012] Preferably, the two-layer staggered structure support body includes a base, a column, a low cantilever and a high cantilever, wherein the column is connected to the base by welding or bolts, and the low cantilever and the high cantilever are welded or flanged to both sides of the column, respectively.
[0013] Preferably, the top-level shading section uses several photovoltaic modules, and the two-layer staggered structure support body also includes purlins, which are fixed to the low cantilever and high cantilever by bolts.
[0014] Preferably, the purlin is made of C-shaped steel, square steel, or round steel.
[0015] Preferably, the columns, low cantilever, and high cantilever are made of square steel, round steel, or H-beams.
[0016] This utility model provides a staggered structure carport with a top-level shielding part that is spatially offset and partially or completely offset from each other by staggered structural support bodies. Since each layer is cantilevered and staggered around the column, there are gaps between them, which can reduce the wind load and snow load of the carport, reduce the stress on the carport support, and improve the overall safety. In addition, the high, medium and low staggered structure photovoltaic modules can generate photovoltaic power. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The following section provides a detailed description of a staggered structure carport provided by this utility model, taking a photovoltaic staggered structure carport as an example. Example 1
[0033] like Figure 1-3This embodiment provides a schematic diagram of a photovoltaic staggered-level carport structure. The photovoltaic staggered-level carport includes a base 4, columns 1, low cantilever 2, high cantilever 3, purlins 5, and a top-level photovoltaic module 6. The columns 1 and base 4 are connected by welding. The low cantilever 2 and high cantilever 3 are welded to both sides of the columns 1, respectively. The purlins 5 are fixed to the low cantilever 2 and high cantilever 3 by bolts. The top-level photovoltaic module 6 is fixed to the purlins 5 by bolts.
[0034] This embodiment provides a photovoltaic staggered structure carport with asymmetrical structures on both sides and staggered heights, allowing different vehicle types to be parked on the high and low sides respectively. At the same time, since the low cantilever 2 and high cantilever 3 are staggered on both sides of the column with a gap in between, the wind load and snow load on the carport can be reduced, the stress on the carport support can be reduced, and the overall safety can be improved. In addition, the photovoltaic modules arrayed on both sides of the staggered structure can generate solar power.
[0035] In this embodiment, the column is a single straight H-beam, the low cantilever, the medium cantilever, and the high cantilever are all single H-beams, and the purlin is a C-beam.
[0036] Of course, the columns, low cantilever, medium cantilever, and high cantilever described in this embodiment can also be made of square steel or round steel. The purlins can also be made of square steel or round steel. Example 2
[0037] like Figure 4-6 This is a schematic diagram of a photovoltaic staggered-level carport structure provided in this embodiment. This embodiment is an improvement on Embodiment 1, the difference being that the straight H-beam column 1 in Embodiment 1 is replaced with a column 1A of H-beams with dendritic sides. The rest remains unchanged. Example 3
[0038] like Figure 7-9 This is a schematic diagram of a photovoltaic staggered-level carport structure provided in this embodiment. This embodiment is an improvement on Embodiment 1, the difference being that the single straight H-beam column 1 in Embodiment 1 is replaced with a column 1B with a Y-shaped H-beam side. The rest remains unchanged. Example 4
[0039] like Figure 10-13 This embodiment provides a schematic diagram of a photovoltaic staggered-level carport structure. The photovoltaic staggered-level carport includes a base 4C, columns 1C, a pair of low cantilever 2C, a pair of medium cantilever 7C, a pair of high cantilever 3C, and a top-level photovoltaic module 6C. The columns 1C are connected to the base 4C by welding. The low cantilever 2C, medium cantilever 7C, and high cantilever 3C are welded around the columns 1C in a staggered manner, with high, medium, and low layers respectively. The top-level photovoltaic module 6C is fixed to the low cantilever 2C, medium cantilever 7C, and high cantilever 3C by bolts.
[0040] This embodiment provides a photovoltaic staggered structure carport, with a spiral upward structure. The three top-level photovoltaic modules 6C are partially or completely staggered in their downward projection plane, allowing different vehicle types to be parked under the top-level photovoltaic modules at three different heights. Simultaneously, because the low cantilever 2C, medium cantilever 7C, and high cantilever 3C are staggered around the columns, with gaps between them, the wind and snow loads on the carport can be reduced, the stress on the carport supports is lowered, and the overall safety is improved. Furthermore, the high, medium, and low-level staggered photovoltaic modules can generate photovoltaic power.
[0041] The photovoltaic staggered structure carport described above in this utility model also includes an energy storage unit and a charging pile, which are respectively connected to the photovoltaic power generation panel group, providing an integrated energy system of photovoltaic storage and charging based on the photovoltaic staggered structure carport.
[0042] In this utility model, the photovoltaic power generation module is fixed on the staggered structure assembly bracket and connected to the energy storage unit. The photovoltaic inverter in the energy storage unit is used to convert the direct current generated by solar energy into alternating current and output it to the charging pile. Excess electricity is stored in the energy storage battery and can also be sent to the grid for sale. When the photovoltaic power generation is weak, the energy storage battery releases electricity to supply the charging pile. If it is insufficient, it is supplemented by the grid power.
[0043] The staggered structure carport of this utility model can also be equipped with other decorative panels or sunshade cloth on the top layer, and can be applied to ordinary outdoor parking sheds, sunshade and rain shelters, or rest pavilions, etc.
[0044] The inventive point of this utility model is a staggered-level carport structure: its top frame parts are respectively fixed to it, spatially offset from each other, and their planar projections are either completely offset or arranged on top of the staggered-level structural support body. Here, the claims describe the scope of protection of this utility model; however, any variations that incorporate the inventive points of this utility model and do not depart from the spirit of the invention fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
