[0018] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The structure of the carport foundation 2 of this utility model organically combines the cable trench 3 with the drainage system. Cable management is achieved through the cable trench 3, preventing cables from being exposed, preventing damage, reducing the risk of electric shock, and facilitating maintenance. Water accumulated in the carport is discharged outwards through the drainage pipe 1, passing through the cable trench 3 and the carport foundation 2 (entering the nearest drainage system), optimizing the drainage path, preventing water accumulation, and reducing safety hazards caused by water accumulation. Furthermore, the reasonable slope design of the inlet and outlet ensures rapid drainage of rainwater. This carport foundation 2 structure centrally manages drainage and cables, facilitating regular pipe cleaning, preventing blockages, and checking cable conditions.

[0019] Furthermore, the outlet of the drain pipe 1 is positioned lower in the vertical direction than the inlet.

[0020] As described above, specifically, the plane where the outlet of the drain pipe 1 is located is lower in the vertical direction than the plane where the inlet is located. This utility model utilizes the space in the recessed area of ​​the carport foundation 2 to set up the cable trench 3, which is more reasonable and aesthetically pleasing in terms of space utilization and layout.

[0021] Furthermore, the drainage pipe 1 includes two inlets and one outlet, with the two inlets passing through the protrusions of the carport foundation 2 respectively.

[0022] As can be seen from the above description, by using a branch structure, two branch pipes are set on the main pipe, and the two branch pipes are connected to the drainage system of the carport foundation 2, which can effectively and rationally utilize the space.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 4 Furthermore, the protrusion of the carport foundation 2 is connected to the carport via the carport support 5.

[0024] As can be seen from the above description, the connection between the carport foundation 2 and the carport via the carport support 5 is a conventional connection method.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 5 Furthermore, the carport foundation 2 and the carport support 5 are connected by a connecting plate 4.

[0026] As can be seen from the above description, the connection between the carport foundation 2 and the carport support 5 via the connecting plate 4 is a conventional connection method.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 6 and 7 Furthermore, a reinforcing plate 7 is provided at the connection between the carport foundation 2 and the carport support 5.

[0028] As can be seen from the above description, the reinforcing plate 7 can improve the stability of the connection between the carport foundation 2 and the carport support 5.

[0029] Furthermore, a protective cap 6 is provided at the connection between the carport foundation 2 and the carport support 5.

[0030] Furthermore, the inlet of drain pipe 1 is located above the protective cap.

[0031] As can be seen from the above description, the protective cap 6 can prevent rainwater from seeping into the foundation along the connection, causing the foundation to loosen and affecting the stability of the carport, and protect the connecting parts from corrosion.

[0032] Furthermore, the cross-section of the carport support 5 is an I-beam cross-section.

[0033] As can be seen from the above description, the cross-section of the carport support 5 is an I-beam, which can reduce its weight.

[0034] Furthermore, the outer wall of the drain pipe 1 comes into contact with the carport support 5.

[0035] As can be seen from the above description, the cross-section of the carport support 5 is an I-shaped cross-section, and the drainage pipe 1 is pre-embedded and poured into the foundation protection cap 6 along the edge of the steel column, which can improve the stability of the drainage pipe 1.

[0036] Furthermore, it also includes a drainage ditch, with the outlet of the drainage pipe 1 passing through the cable trench 3 and the carport foundation 2 in sequence and placed in the drainage ditch.

[0037] As can be seen from the above description, the drainage pipe 1 is pre-embedded and poured into the foundation protection cap 6 along the edge of the steel column, and then led to the cable trench 3 from the side. The existing drainage ditch system is then introduced through a hole on the side of the cable trench 3. This can achieve rapid drainage, avoid seepage, and solve many problems such as water accumulation and aesthetics at the carport site.

[0038] Application scenario: When it rains and water accumulates, the water in the carport will flow into the drainpipe and be discharged downwards due to the direction of the rainwater.
