The mounting cavity 17 and the guide hole 13 are located on the driving part 16. In the locked position, the end of the bearing rod 12 away from the driving member 22 abuts against the side of the stopping part 15 facing the driving part 16.

[0048] In this embodiment, the stop portion 15 and the connecting portion 18 are spaced apart so that the stop portion 15, the connecting portion 18 and the driving portion 16 form an installation space. In the locked state, the end of the bearing rod 12 away from the driving member 22 abuts against the side of the stop portion 15 facing the driving portion 16, so that the upper end of the connector 9 is connected in the space formed by the stop portion 15, the connecting portion 18, the driving portion 16 and the bearing rod 12, so that the connector 9 cannot fall off in the locked state.

[0049] In one embodiment, the connecting part 18 is detachably connected to the top wall of the shed 2.

[0052] In this embodiment, in the locked state, the upper part of the hanging rope 10 is looped around the support rod 12.

[0053] In this embodiment, the blanket body 8 has two spaced-apart through holes 11 that penetrate the blanket body 8 along its thickness direction. The lower end of the hanging rope passes through the two through holes 11, thereby connecting the hanging rope 10 to the blanket body 8. The structure is simple and easy to design.

[0054] In this embodiment, the strip rope can be passed through the two through holes 11 and then the two ends of the strip rope can be connected together by heat fusion to form a loop hanging rope 10.

[0055] In this embodiment, the carport also includes a canopy 3 disposed above the canopy body 1. The canopy 3 is inclined to guide rainwater and also to block sunlight.

[0056] The working principle of the carport provided in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows:

When the smoke detector 21 detects smoke in the shed 2, the smoke detector 21 transmits a signal to the control module 4. The control module 4 controls the alarm 5 to sound an alarm to alert the staff or people in the shed 2. When the flame detector 20 detects a flame in the shed 2, the flame detector 20 transmits a signal to the control module 4. The control module 4 controls the connecting device 7 to switch to the released state. The driving component 22 drives the support rod 12 to move to the unlocked position. The upper end of the connecting component 9 loses the support of the support rod 12, and the connecting component 9 and the blanket 8 fall off, so that the blanket 8 covers the burning vehicle, isolating it from the outside oxygen, thereby achieving the effect of extinguishing the fire.

[0058] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0059] According to the carport provided in this embodiment of the utility model, when a vehicle parked in the shed 2 catches fire, the flame detector 20 detects the flame on the vehicle. The flame detector 20 transmits the signal that a flame has been detected to the control module 4, which controls the connecting device 7 to switch to the release state, thereby causing the connecting device 7 to release the fire blanket 6, which falls and covers the burning vehicle, isolating it from external oxygen, thereby achieving the effect of extinguishing the fire, reducing losses, and improving the safety of the carport.

[0060] In other embodiments, the drive element 22 may be a cylinder.

[0061] In other embodiments, the bottom of the hanging rope 10 can be directly and integrally connected to the blanket body 8.

[0062] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
