Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of building sunshade and rain protection facilities, and more specifically to a lightweight sunshade and rain protection canopy. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of highway networks, toll stations, as important nodes, are receiving increasing attention for facility optimization. The toll station canopy, as a key structure, directly impacts operational efficiency and the driver / passenger experience in terms of safety and usability.

[0003] Significant problems exist: early sidewalks lacked sun and rain protection facilities, making staff vulnerable to severe weather; strong glare reduced the efficiency of QR code payments for drivers and passengers. Meanwhile, there are technical bottlenecks: traditional renovation solutions such as enclosed canopies are costly and structurally bulky, creating a sense of oppression; existing canopies generally have poor permeability, high renovation costs, and complex construction, making it difficult to meet the requirements for lightweight renovations.

[0004] In response to the above problems, adding sunshades and rain shelters at both ends of the toll station has become an urgent technical issue to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a lightweight sunshade and rain shelter to solve the problems of existing sunshade and rain shelters, such as bulky structure, inconvenient installation, poor stability, poor sunshade and rain protection effect, and short service life.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a lightweight sunshade and rainproof canopy, comprising: a concrete foundation with pre-embedded anchor bolts inside; a column assembly, which is detachably connected to the concrete foundation via anchor bolts at the column base; a crossbeam assembly, which is horizontally connected between adjacent column assemblies; and a light-shielding mesh, which is laid on the crossbeam assembly and column assembly and is formed by woven crisscrossing metal wires to form a mesh structure.

[0007] Preferably, the mesh size of the light-shielding mesh is less than 5cm×5cm, and the edges of the mesh are fixed to the beam assembly and column assembly by binding or snapping.

[0008] Preferably, the beam assembly and the column assembly adopt an assembly-type connection structure, which can be detachably fixed by multiple sets of connecting bolts.

[0009] Preferably, the column base is welded to the bottom of the column assembly and includes a base flange and a stiffening flange; bolt holes are opened around the base flange and the stiffening flange respectively, and the base flange and the stiffening flange are anchored to the concrete foundation by anchor bolts; the stiffening flange is provided with stiffening ribs at equal intervals along the circumference.

[0010] Preferably, the surface of the light-shielding mesh is covered with a biomimetic green plant layer, which is made of plastic leaf material.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes a diagonal bracing foundation and a one-way diagonal bracing; one end of the one-way diagonal bracing is anchored to the diagonal bracing foundation, and the other end is connected to the column assembly through a bolt group; a plastic protective sleeve is provided at the connection between the one-way diagonal bracing and the column assembly.

[0012] Preferably, the concrete foundation is formed by casting concrete in place after the longitudinal main bars and transverse stirrups are tied into a three-dimensional skeleton, and the anchor bolts are pre-embedded during the casting process.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the beam assembly is provided with a drainage groove, which extends along the length of the beam and communicates with the drainage channel inside the column assembly.

[0014] Preferably, the surface of the metal wires of the light-shielding mesh is covered with a PVC anti-corrosion layer, and the mesh nodes are reinforced by ultrasonic welding.

[0015] Preferably, the crossbeam assembly is made of multiple hollow profiles spliced ​​together, and the interface between adjacent profiles is provided with a plug-in boss and locked by connecting bolts.

[0017] This utility model adopts a detachable connection structure, such as the anchor bolt connection between the column assembly and the concrete foundation, and the connecting bolt connection between the beam assembly and the column assembly, which facilitates installation, disassembly and transportation, and reduces construction difficulty and transportation costs.

[0018] This utility model features a lightweight, mesh-structured shading mesh that significantly reduces the overall weight of the awning compared to traditional heavy panels. It effectively provides sun and rain protection while maintaining a mesh size of less than 5cm x 5cm, effectively blocking rain and sunlight. The biomimetic green plant layer on the surface of the mesh enhances both its shading effect and aesthetics, making the awning more environmentally friendly. The PVC anti-corrosion layer on the surface and the ultrasonic welding at the joints improve the mesh's corrosion resistance and structural strength, further extending its lifespan. The drainage channel design of the crossbeam assembly effectively drains water, preventing rainwater accumulation and further enhancing its rain-blocking effect.
