Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of outdoor sunshade building technology, and in particular to a beam, beam frame, support assembly and pavilion. Background Technology

[0002] Outdoor sunshade structures come in various forms, such as folding canopies, alloy pavilions, and awnings. These structures effectively provide sunshade and heat insulation through physical barriers, regulate light intensity, and beautify the surrounding environment. Of course, the functions of outdoor sunshade structures are not limited to physical protection; they can also reduce ultraviolet radiation, control local temperature, and enhance the visual appeal of the landscape. Therefore, outdoor sunshade structures are widely used in various scenarios such as family courtyards, urban parks, commercial open-air areas, and café terraces, adding comfort, energy efficiency, and aesthetic value to outdoor activity spaces.

[0003] In related technologies, the roofs of traditional pavilions are typically flat or sloping. In practical applications, this leads to significant water accumulation on the roof surface during periods of heavy or prolonged rainfall. This not only causes excessive stress on the roof structure, accelerating the aging and damage of structural components and shortening its lifespan, but also allows rainwater to flow along the edges and drip down to the area below, creating puddles around the pavilion. This causes considerable inconvenience for users, and in cold weather, the accumulated water can freeze, further increasing safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a beam body, beam frame, support assembly, and pavilion, which can solve the problem of severe rainwater accumulation on the roof of traditional outdoor sunshade buildings when there is heavy rainfall or prolonged rainfall, leading to structural damage, inconvenience of use, and safety hazards.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a beam body, which includes a main body and a beam edge.

[0023] In one embodiment, the main body is provided with an assembly part on one side of the beam edge. Along the groove depth direction T of the beam edge guide groove, the assembly part is located above the beam edge guide groove, and the projection of the lamp holder perpendicular to the mounting base surface is located below the assembly part. The assembly part is used to assemble the top sunshade assembly.

[0024] In one embodiment, a lamp holder is provided with a lamp groove, and the light-emitting element is embedded in the lamp groove.

[0025] In one embodiment, the external portion includes:

[0026] Connecting wall, snapped into the main body; and

[0027] An external wall is provided on the side of the connecting wall facing away from the beam, and together with the connecting wall, it forms a functional groove, which is used to accommodate at least wires and electrical components.

[0032] In one embodiment, the connecting wall is provided with an upper slot, and the end of the main body portion away from the bottom wall of the beam engages with the upper slot; or

[0033] A lower locking groove is provided on the bottom wall of the beam edge. In the depth direction T of the beam edge guide groove, the opening direction of the lower locking groove is opposite to the opening direction of the beam edge guide groove. The connecting wall is provided with a locking arm for inserting into the lower locking groove and a locking groove for locking the main body; or

[0034] The connecting wall is provided with an upper slot, and the end of the main body away from the bottom wall of the beam is engaged with the upper slot. The connecting wall is also provided with a first fastening part, and the main body is provided with a second fastening part that engages with the first fastening part.

[0035] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a beam frame, which includes a transition member, a first crossbeam, and a second crossbeam. The length direction of the first crossbeam intersects the length direction of the second crossbeam, and the second crossbeam is connected to the first crossbeam through the transition member.

A water passage gap is formed between the louver assembly and the main body, and the water passage gap communicates with the beam side guide groove.

[0041] Based on the above embodiments, this application embodiment provides a beam edge section with a beam edge sidewall and a beam edge bottomwall on one side of the main body of the beam. The main body, beam edge sidewall, and beam edge bottomwall together form a beam edge guide channel. When the rainfall is heavy or the rainfall lasts for a long time, the rainwater accumulated on the top surface of the pavilion using this beam will be collected by the beam edge guide channel after flowing along the top structure to the edge. Of course, some raindrops may also drip from the main body or directly into the beam edge guide channel. The rainwater accumulated in the beam edge guide channel will be discharged out of the beam edge guide channel along the extension direction of the beam edge guide channel, thereby effectively improving or even avoiding the problem of rainwater accumulation on the top of the pavilion. This can reduce the excessive pressure on the top structure of the pavilion, reduce structural aging and damage caused by liquid pressure, and prevent rainwater from splashing from the top edge to the bottom and surrounding areas to form water accumulation, thus eliminating safety hazards.

[0042] In addition, the beam sidewall extension of the technical solution of this application is provided on one side of the main body, which can effectively ensure the structural stability of the connection between the beam side and the main body, improve the overall load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance of the beam side guide channel, and ensure that rainwater is smoothly discharged from the beam side guide channel.

[0057] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0058] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0059] Where the following description relates to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances. Furthermore, in the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0061] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0062] This application relates to an outdoor sunshade building, which mainly achieves sun shading, heat insulation, light regulation, and environmental beautification through physical barriers, and is widely used in courtyards, parks, commercial complexes, and other scenarios. The outdoor sunshade building reduces indoor heat load, decreases air conditioning energy consumption, and improves the comfort and safety of the space by using an external sunshade system (this external sunshade system refers to a general term for sunshade devices or systems that use external sunshade components such as sunshades, sunshade curtains, sunshades, pavilion roofs, sunshade roller blinds, sunshade gauze, and louver components to block solar radiation). This type of outdoor sunshade building encompasses various forms such as folding canopies, alloy pavilions, and sunshades, among which the pavilion is a widely used traditional form. For ease of understanding, this embodiment uses a pavilion as a specific example to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention.

[0063] Generally, please refer to the specific details. Figure 1 The gazebo 1000 includes a support assembly 100 and an external sunshade assembly. The support assembly 100 is preferably made of lightweight, high-strength, and highly corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, such as aluminum-magnesium alloy or aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy. The support assembly 100 includes a beam frame 110 and columns 120. The columns 120 serve as the main support structure. The bottom of the columns 120 is securely installed on the ground, platform, or other supporting foundation using pre-embedded anchor bolts, bases, etc. The top of the columns 120 is reliably connected to the beam frame 110 using welding, bolting, or other processes. The top of the columns 120 is typically connected to the beam frame 110 using a combination of welding and bolting. The external sunshade assembly includes a top sunshade assembly and side enclosure assemblies. The side enclosure assemblies can be selected as one or more combinations of barriers, roller blinds, doors, windows, etc. The side enclosure assemblies are connected to the columns 120 via sliding rails, hinges, and other accessories, allowing for flexible customization according to usage requirements. The roof shading component is adjustable in opening and closing, and also has functions such as ventilation, wind protection, and privacy protection. The roof shading component preferably adopts a louver component 200, which can be opened, closed, or adjusted in angle to ensure a dynamic balance between shading and ventilation. The roof shading component can also be selected from one of the following: sunshade panel, sunshade awning, sunshade roller blind, or other components with shading function in the field. The roof shading component is installed on the beam frame 110 and together with the beam frame 110, it forms the roof of the pavilion. The roof of the pavilion not only undertakes the basic functions of blocking direct sunlight and sheltering from wind and rain, but also forms an independent outdoor rest space through cooperation with the columns 120, providing users with an activity area free from external weather interference.

[0064] In related technologies, traditional pavilion roof designs often employ flat or sloping structures. While these meet basic sunshade requirements, they still present significant drawbacks during the rainy season. When rainfall is heavy or continuous, rainwater can easily accumulate on the pavilion roof due to insufficient slope or inadequate drainage design. This not only subjects the roof to additional stress and accelerates aging, but also causes water to pool around the pavilion as rainwater drips along the roof's edges, severely impacting the user experience and increasing the risk of icing. For example, the structural gaps in traditional wooden pavilions (gap between wooden components due to processing precision, wood shrinkage and expansion characteristics, or assembly processes) are prone to water seepage. In alloy pavilions, rainwater flowing from the roof edges can cause water accumulation around the pavilion due to the expanded dripping area, and this accumulated water can corrode metal components (columns, beams, etc.). Against this backdrop, achieving a balance between efficient drainage and structural stability through structural innovation has become a critical technical challenge for pavilions.

[0065] For the technical issues raised above, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Among them, in the appendix Figure 3In the diagram, beam 10 is presented in cross-sectional view to clearly show the structure of beam frame 110 and the connection relationships of its components. The cross-section is marked with double wavy lines. This application discloses a beam frame 110, which includes a connector 111, a first crossbeam 110a, and a second crossbeam 110b. The length direction of the second crossbeam 110b intersects the length direction of the first crossbeam 110a, and the second crossbeam 110b is connected to the first crossbeam 110a via the connector 111. It should be noted that the first crossbeam 110a is preferably arranged perpendicularly to the second crossbeam 110b. However, the angle of intersection between the first crossbeam 110a and the second crossbeam 110b can be adjusted to an oblique angle such as 60° or 120° according to actual needs, but the specific angle is not limited by this application. At least one of the first crossbeam 110a and the second crossbeam 110b is described below as the preferred beam structure 10.

[0066] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to the following for details. Figure 3 and combined Figure 4 A structural schematic diagram of beam 10 is shown, with appendix. Figure 4 The beam 10 is also shown in cross-section to more clearly show its cross-sectional shape and internal structure. The cross-section is marked with double wavy lines. The beam 10 includes a main body 11 and a beam edge 12. The beam edge 12 includes a beam edge sidewall 121 and a beam edge bottom wall 122. The beam edge bottom wall 122 extends to one side of the main body 11. The extension here should be understood as the beam edge bottom wall 122 being integrally formed or welded to the main body 11. This not only significantly improves the firmness of the connection between the beam edge bottom wall 122 and the main body 11, preventing loosening due to long-term water flow impact or external force, but also ensures the sealing between the main body 11 and the beam edge 12, effectively preventing liquid (liquid refers to rainwater, dew, and other liquid media that may fall into the beam edge guide channel 13 in the outdoor environment) from leaking from the connection between the beam edge bottom wall 122 and the main body 11. The bottom wall 122 of the beam edge can be designed as an arc-shaped surface, which utilizes the guiding characteristics of the arc surface to allow the liquid to flow more smoothly along the extension direction under the action of gravity, reducing water flow resistance; it can also be an inclined plane, which accelerates liquid discharge through the slope (such as 1° to 3°) and avoids the formation of dead corners for liquid accumulation in the bottom wall 122 of the beam edge. At the same time, the surface of the bottom wall 122 of the beam edge can also be provided with fine guiding textures to further guide the direction of liquid flow and improve drainage efficiency.

[0067] To clearly describe the structural relationships, the side wall of the main body 11 closest to the column 120 is defined as the first side wall, and the two side walls adjacent to and connected to the first side wall are defined as the second side wall. The bottom wall 122 of the beam edge can be directly connected to the first side wall, that is, the bottom wall 122 of the beam edge extends from the first side wall to one side to form the second side wall. This allows the end of the first side wall to abut against the column 120, thereby increasing the contact area and improving the stability of the connection between the beam 10 and the column 120. At the same time, the close fit between the first side wall and the column 120 reduces the possibility of liquid seeping in from the connection gap. In addition, the bottom wall 122 of the beam edge can also be connected to the second side wall, and a staggered gap is formed between the bottom wall 122 of the beam edge and the first side wall. The size of the staggered gap can be adaptively adjusted according to the overall structural design of the pavilion 1000 and the actual installation requirements.

[0068] Further, please refer to Figure 4 The beam sidewall 121 is located on the side of the beam bottom wall 122 away from the main body 11. The beam sidewall 121, beam bottom wall 122, and main body 11 together form a beam side guide channel 13. The beam side guide channel 13 is used to receive liquid falling into the beam side guide channel 13 in the channel depth direction T and guide the liquid out of the beam side guide channel 13 along the extension direction of the beam side guide channel 13. The beam bottom wall 122 is fixedly connected to the main body 11, specifically by welding or integral molding. It is suitable for scenarios with high requirements for structural stability, such as alloy pavilions. The connection between the beam sidewall 121 and the beam bottom wall 122 can be treated with rounded corners, which reduces stress concentration to enhance structural strength and reduces the risk of cracking caused by long-term water flow impact or temperature changes. In particular, it can effectively adapt to the mechanical properties of the beam body 10 when using aluminum alloy material. It can also prevent water from forming eddies at corners, thus avoiding siltation and ensuring that the beam side guide channel 13 remains unobstructed in environments with fallen leaves and debris, such as courtyards with sunshade.

[0069] It should be noted that the height of the beam sidewall 121 can be set according to the expected maximum drainage capacity to ensure that liquid will not overflow the beam side guide channel 13 in the event of short-term heavy rainfall. In addition, the beam sidewall 121 can be perpendicular to the beam side bottom wall 122, and the beam sidewall 121 can also be inclined and extended from the beam side bottom wall 122 away from the main body 11 to increase the rainwater carrying capacity by expanding the channel area of ​​the beam side guide channel 13. Alternatively, a slightly inclined folded edge structure can be provided at the top of the beam sidewall 121. When the folded edge structure is inclined outward, it can prevent the liquid splashed from the beam sidewall 121 from entering the outside of the beam side guide channel 13.

[0070] In summary, the beam body 10, through the beam side wall 121, the beam bottom wall 122, and the main body 11, forms a beam side guide channel 13. When the rainfall is heavy or the duration of rainfall is long, the rainwater accumulated on the roof of the pavilion will flow along the top structure to the edge and be collected by the beam side guide channel 13. Of course, some rainwater, dew, and other liquids can also drip from the second side wall of the main body 11 or directly into the beam side guide channel 13. The rainwater accumulated in the beam side guide channel 13 will be discharged out of the beam side guide channel 13 along the extension direction of the beam side guide channel 13, thereby effectively improving or even avoiding the problem of rainwater accumulation on the roof of the pavilion. This can reduce the excessive pressure on the roof structure of the pavilion, reduce structural aging and damage caused by liquid pressure, and prevent rainwater from dripping from the edge of the top to the bottom and surrounding areas to form water accumulation, solving the inconvenience of users' passage and activities, while reducing the safety hazards of water accumulation and freezing in cold weather.

[0071] It should be noted that, in addition to its function of receiving and collecting liquids (such as rainwater) and effectively guiding their discharge, the beam-side guide channel 13 can also, in some application scenarios or embodiments, use its internal space to neatly house various lines arranged on the beam 10. In this way, the beam-side guide channel 13 can neatly conceal these lines, thus providing a shielding effect and effectively preventing direct exposure of the lines. This not only improves the overall neatness of the outdoor sunshade structure such as the pavilion 1000 but also reduces the risk of accidental damage to the lines.

[0072] It is worth mentioning that the height of the beam sidewall 121 is set according to the expected maximum drainage volume, and it also forms a rigid constraint boundary when the liquid flows at high speed, intercepting splashing droplets. When the beam sidewall 121 extends inclinedly from the bottom wall 122 of the beam side away from the main body 11, it can also generate a flow-guiding-reflection effect on splashing droplets through the inclined surface of the beam sidewall 121, causing the droplets to flow back along the beam sidewall 121 into the beam side guide channel 13. When the top edge of the beam sidewall 121 is provided with a folded edge structure, it can also intercept splashing droplets and flow back into the beam side guide channel 13. In this way, liquid is prevented from intruding into the outside of the beam body 10 and the usage area of ​​the pavilion 1000, improving outdoor use safety and maintaining the appearance of the pavilion 1000.

[0073] Furthermore, to facilitate the splicing of the first crossbeam 110a or the second crossbeam 110b into a beam frame 110, as shown in the figure, a chamfer is provided at the corner of the beam edge 12 on the side away from the main body 11. Specifically, the chamfer can be a rounded chamfer or a beveled chamfer. The rounded chamfer provides a continuous and smooth curve, which is beneficial for evenly distributing stress; the beveled chamfer has a simple structure, facilitating mass production and installation. The chamfer ensures precise alignment of adjacent beams 10, achieving rapid positioning and alignment through the guiding characteristics of the chamfer surface, reducing adjustment time during assembly. Simultaneously, it eliminates sharp edges, significantly reducing the risk of operators being scratched during installation and improving operational safety. In addition, the chamfer effectively disperses local stress concentration, preventing deformation and cracking at the splice joint due to stress concentration, enhancing the overall structural strength and durability of the beam 10. The smooth transition characteristics of the chamfer also improve the aesthetics of the exposed edges of the beam 10, making the beam frame 110 appear smooth and with a soft contour, enhancing overall visual harmony.

[0074] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to the following for details. Figure 4 As shown, the opening of the beam-side guide groove 13 in the groove depth direction T is defined as the upper opening of the guide groove. The beam body 10 also includes a light-emitting element, which is located on the side of the upper opening of the beam-side guide groove 13, and the projection range along the beam extension direction of the light-emitting element covers a portion of the inner groove surface of the beam-side guide groove 13, so that at least part of the beam can be reflected by the inner groove surface. The aforementioned inner groove surface should be understood as the surface inside the beam-side guide groove 13 used for contacting and guiding liquid, that is, including the inner surface of the second sidewall facing the beam-side guide groove 13, the inner surface of the beam-side bottom wall 122 facing the beam-side guide groove 13, and the inner surface of the beam-side sidewall 121 facing the beam-side guide groove 13.

[0075] For example, the light-emitting element can be installed at the top of the side wall 121 of the beam, with the light-emitting direction tilted towards the inner groove surface of the beam guide groove 13. This allows the light beam to be projected onto the area of ​​the second side wall and the bottom wall 122 of the beam near the main body 11. This illuminates the interior of the beam guide groove 13, facilitating the timely detection and cleaning of fallen leaves, mud, and other debris. The reflected light from the inner groove surface also diffuses downwards or to the edge of the pavilion 1000, providing basic lighting for nighttime activities. Alternatively, the light-emitting element can be installed on the second side wall, with its beam covering the inner surface of the bottom wall 122 and the side wall 121 of the beam. This allows for more even illumination of the interior of the beam guide groove 13. The reflected light, after diffuse reflection from the inner side of the side wall 121, also provides soft lighting around the opening of the beam guide groove 13, avoiding strong light stimulation for users and creating a clear light and shadow boundary at the edge of the pavilion 1000, thus improving safety during nighttime use.

[0076] For example, the light-emitting element can also be installed on the inner surface of the side wall 121 of the beam near the opening of the guide groove. The light beam of the light-emitting element can extend into the guide groove 13 of the beam side, and after being reflected by the inner surface of the bottom wall 122 of the beam side, it can illuminate the interior of the guide groove 13 of the beam side, making it easier to observe whether there are any debris in the guide groove 13 of the beam side at night. At the same time, the reflected light can diffuse to the outside of the opening of the guide groove, providing low-intensity lighting for the activity area below the pavilion 1000 and improving the safety of nighttime courtyard activities.

[0077] In practical applications, the light-emitting element can illuminate the area around the beam side guide channel 13 by reflecting the light beam through the inner groove surface of the beam side guide channel 13. This not only meets the basic lighting needs of outdoor spaces at night and improves the safety and convenience of users in the activity areas under and around the pavilion 1000, but also illuminates the inside of the beam side guide channel 13 with the reflected light, making it easier to observe whether there are any debris inside the beam side guide channel 13 at night and ensuring the stable operation of the drainage function. At the same time, compared with setting up an additional independent lighting device, integrating the light-emitting element into the beam body 10 can meet the requirements of the pavilion 1000 for structural simplicity and avoid the independent lighting device being exposed and affecting the overall aesthetics of the pavilion 1000.

[0078] Preferably, while the light-emitting element is disposed on the side wall 121 of the beam, a waterproof gap is also provided between it and the bottom wall 122 of the beam. This not only effectively prevents liquid on the bottom wall 122 of the beam from directly contacting the light-emitting element, reducing the risk of liquid penetrating into the interior of the light-emitting element, thus maintaining the long-term illumination function of the light-emitting element for the interior of the beam guide channel 13 and the surrounding area of ​​the pavilion 1000, but also reduces the probability of light-emitting element failure due to liquid contact, extending the service life of the light-emitting element, thereby improving the durability and reliability of the light-emitting element and the pavilion 1000 under long-term wind, rain, dew and other environments. In addition, the waterproof gap between the light-emitting element and the bottom wall 122 of the beam allows the light-emitting element to be closer to the opening on the guide channel. Combined with the position of the light-emitting element on the side wall 121 of the beam, the light beam of the light-emitting element can be more efficiently diffused to the outside of the beam guide channel 13 after being reflected by the inner channel surface, expanding the illumination coverage of the edge of the pavilion 1000 and the activity area below, and improving the uniformity and effectiveness of nighttime lighting.

[0079] In practical applications, the aforementioned light-emitting components can be LED beads / modules or LED light strips. This not only ensures stable operation in environments with rain, dew, and large temperature variations, but also has low energy consumption, making it compatible with solar power or low-voltage DC power systems. Of course, the light-emitting components can also be other electrical components with light-emitting functions that are suitable for outdoor use.

[0080] It should be noted that, please refer to Figure 4Along the groove depth direction T of the beam side guide groove 13, the height dimension of the main body 11 relative to the bottom wall 122 of the beam side is greater than the height dimension of the side wall 121 relative to the bottom wall 122 of the beam side. This height difference will create an installation space between the main body 11 and the side wall 121 that can accommodate the top sunshade assembly, which is beneficial for a more complete connection between the main body 11 and the top sunshade assembly, thereby enhancing the overall structural integrity. For example, in an alloy gazebo, the louver assembly 200 can be fitted into the installation space formed by the height difference between the main body 11 and the side wall 121; in a folding canopy, the installation space formed by the height difference is used to accommodate the frame structure of the sunshade cloth; and in a sunshade awning, the installation space formed by the height difference can be used to install sunshade roller blinds.

[0081] Understandably, please refer to Figure 5 The diagram shows a partial assembly of the beam 10 and the louver assembly 200. To clearly illustrate the connection between the beam 10 and the louver assembly 200, the cross-sections are marked with wavy lines. In the depth direction T of the beam side guide channel 13, the louver assembly 200 is positioned above the beam side guide channel 13 and is detachably connected to the beam 10. A water-passing gap 300 is formed between the louver assembly 200 and the main body 11 of the beam 10, connecting to the beam side guide channel 13. This allows liquid on the surface of the louver assembly 200 and other top shading components to flow unimpeded into the beam side guide channel 13, preventing liquid accumulation on the top shading components and the beam 10, thereby further ensuring the efficient guidance and drainage function of the beam side guide channel 13.

[0082] In this configuration, the main body 11 serves as the core load-bearing component of the beam 10. A higher main body 11 enhances the structural strength and rigidity of the beam 10, adapting to external forces such as the weight of the roof shading assembly and wind loads that may occur in the outdoor environment, ensuring the stability of the beam 10 during long-term use. Conversely, a lower beam sidewall 121, while fulfilling the basic water-blocking function, avoids excessive material waste due to excessive height and obstruction of the light beam projection range, ensuring the coordinated functioning of lighting and drainage. Simultaneously, the water-passing gap 300 between the roof shading assembly and the main body 11 allows liquid from the surface of the roof shading assembly, such as the louver assembly 200, to flow smoothly into the beam side guide channel 13. Especially in cases of heavy rainfall or prolonged rainfall, the higher main body 11 forms a higher barrier structure on one side of the beam side guide channel 13, effectively preventing liquid flowing from the area or periphery of the water-passing gap 300 from overflowing to the outside of the main body 11 (the side of the main body 11 relative to the beam side guide channel 13). This forces the liquid to flow along the second side wall of the main body 11 toward the beam side guide channel 13, ensuring that rainwater and other liquids can be efficiently collected and discharged in severe weather conditions such as short-term heavy rainfall. This further improves the water collection efficiency and outflow prevention capability of the beam side guide channel 13, and prevents liquid from accumulating on the roof of the pavilion and around the pavilion 1000. It also prevents the accumulated liquid from corroding the roof shading components and the beam 10, thereby achieving the synergistic effect of shading and drainage functions, and improving the durability and practicality of the pavilion 1000 in complex outdoor environments.

[0083] It should be added that, please refer to Figure 5 The edge of the louver assembly 200 near the body 11 is positioned closer to the inner side of the beam side guide groove 13 in the groove depth direction T. Specifically, in the groove depth direction T of the beam side guide groove 13, the edge of the louver assembly 200 near the body 11 is located on the side of the beam side wall 121 closest to the beam side guide groove 13. This allows liquid on the surface of the louver assembly 200 to flow towards the edge under gravity and fall into the beam side guide groove 13 along a shorter path, reducing the possibility of the liquid deviating from the beam side guide groove 13 due to external factors such as wind during its descent, and improving the accuracy of liquid entering the beam side guide groove 13. When the louver assembly 200 adjusts its angle or opens / closes, the edge of the louver assembly 200 near the main body 11 is closer to the inner side of the beam side guide groove 13. This ensures that it remains effectively aligned with the beam side guide groove 13 during movement, preventing the liquid flow area from exceeding the range of the beam side guide groove 13 due to angle changes. This guarantees that the liquid can stably flow into the beam side guide groove 13 under different working conditions. Simultaneously, it prevents liquid from splashing directly onto the surface of the light-emitting element, thereby reducing the probability of light scattering or obstruction caused by liquid adhesion and ensuring the stability of the light beam projection.

[0084] Furthermore, the close proximity of the edge of the louver assembly 200 to the inner side of the beam guide groove 13 ensures that most of the light beams directly projected onto the louver assembly 200 by the light source, as well as the reflected light after reflection through the second sidewall of the main body 11, are reflected a second time by the surface of the louver assembly 200. Because the edge of the louver assembly 200 is close to the inner side of the beam guide groove 13, only a small portion of the light beam is projected onto the outer side of the pavilion roof through the water gap 300. This effectively enhances the supplementary lighting for the activity area below the pavilion 1000, and also makes the reflection path of the light beam by the louver assembly 200 more stable, effectively avoiding the problem of messy reflected light distribution caused by excessive spacing between the louver assembly 200 and the main body 11 of the beam 10.

[0085] In this embodiment, a preferred embodiment can be found in conjunction with the following: Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the beam sidewall 121 includes a main body 1211 and an outer part 1212. The setting angle of the main body 1211 can be flexibly adjusted according to different drainage requirements and structural designs. The main body 1211 can be set perpendicular to the bottom wall 122 of the beam side to increase the water blocking height and enhance the interception capability for short-term heavy rainfall. Of course, the main body 1211 can also be set inclined to the bottom wall 122 of the beam side. The main body 1211 is fixed to the bottom wall 122 of the beam side, which can be done by welding or integral molding process to ensure the structural stability of the connection between the beam sidewall 121 and the bottom wall 122 of the beam side. This avoids the risk of loosening when the beam side guide channel 13 is subjected to external forces such as water flow impact and wind load for a long time, and ensures the normal drainage function of the beam side guide channel 13. This is suitable for outdoor sunshade building scenarios with high strength requirements, such as pavilions and sunshades.

[0086] The aforementioned external connection 1212 is located on the side of the main body 1211 away from the main body 11 and is detachably connected to the main body 1211. This detachable connection method can be flexibly selected according to the usage scenarios of different outdoor sunshade structures such as the gazebo 1000. For example, in scenarios where the alloy gazebo requires frequent maintenance or needs to be replaced according to the user's requirements for the appearance design and function of the gazebo 1000, the snap-fit ​​connection facilitates quick assembly and disassembly of the external connection 1212; as another example, in scenarios such as the alloy gazebo that require long-term stable use, the bolt connection can improve the structural robustness of the beam 10; in addition to the aforementioned snap-fit ​​and bolt connections, the detachable connection can also adopt a magnetic connection to achieve tool-free quick assembly, or a combination of the aforementioned connection methods can be used to balance convenience and stability. Specifically, the external connection 1212 can be selected as a water-blocking extension plate to increase the water-blocking height, a decorative edge strip to enhance the aesthetics of the gazebo 1000, or a component for integrating rain-sensing sensors, etc. Thus, the external part 1212 provides ample space for the functional expansion and scene adaptation of the beam side wall 121, thereby better meeting the usage needs of various outdoor sunshade buildings such as the pavilion 1000 in different environments.

[0087] In this way, by detachably connecting the external part 1212 to the main body 1211, the maintenance cost and difficulty of the gazebo 1000 can be effectively reduced. When the external part 1212 wears out, ages, or fails due to long-term use, it is not necessary to replace the entire beam 10; only the external part 1212 needs to be replaced, significantly reducing material consumption and maintenance time. At the same time, the split structure of the main body 1211 and the external part 1212 can also be flexibly adapted to the combination of different materials. For example, the main body 1211 can use high-strength aluminum alloy to ensure structural load-bearing capacity, while the external part 1212 can use weather-resistant plastics or composite materials to achieve lightweighting and low cost. Alternatively, light-transmitting materials can be used in conjunction with light-emitting components to create a light and shadow decorative effect. By selecting materials differently, the overall cost structure can be optimized while meeting performance requirements, thereby improving the product's market adaptability. In addition, the functional expandability of the external part 1212 also enables the beam sidewall 121 to have the ability to adapt to the environment. For example, in a courtyard environment with many fallen leaves, a filter can be installed to prevent debris from entering the beam side guide channel 13. This allows the same beam 10 to adapt to different climate conditions and usage scenarios, enhancing the practicality of outdoor sunshade buildings such as the pavilion 1000.

[0088] It should be further noted that the aforementioned light-emitting element can be disposed on the main body 1211 or the external part 1212 according to actual needs. In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 The beam sidewall 121 also includes a lamp holder 1213 for mounting the light-emitting element. The lamp holder 1213 can protrude from the outer portion 1212 towards the beam side guide groove 13, meaning it extends within the projection range of the beam side guide groove 13 in the groove depth direction T. This allows for a greater distribution of light beams within the beam side guide groove 13, facilitating nighttime observation of debris accumulation within the groove to ensure smooth drainage. The lamp holder 1213 can also protrude from the side opposite to the beam side guide groove 13. The external part 1212, i.e., the lamp holder 1213, extends beyond the projection range of the beam side guide groove 13 in the groove depth direction T, providing more direct light to the activity space below the pavilion 1000. Of course, the lamp holder 1213 may also include a first lamp holder and a second lamp holder, with the first lamp holder protruding towards the side facing the beam side guide groove 13 and the second lamp holder protruding towards the side away from the beam side guide groove 13, both located on the external part 1212. This will accommodate both internal inspection of the beam side guide groove 13 and activity lighting around the pavilion 1000. Thus, by simply assembling the external part 1212 to the main body 11, a waterproof gap is naturally formed between the light-emitting element and the bottom wall 122 of the beam side, enhancing the waterproof protection of the light-emitting element and extending its service life.

[0089] Furthermore, the detachable design of the external connector 1212 and the main body 1211 allows for flexible adjustment of the light-emitting component's installation position by replacing the external connector 1212 with different configurations, without requiring structural modifications to the main body 1211 of the beam 10. This facilitates the selection of external connectors 1212 with different lamp holder 1213 positions based on the specific application scenarios of outdoor sunshade structures such as the pavilion 1000 (e.g., enhanced perimeter lighting in courtyard leisure areas, or focused internal inspection of beam side guide channels 13 in commercial open-air rest areas). It also adapts to iterative replacements of light-emitting components (e.g., replacing with higher brightness or lower energy consumption light-emitting components), reducing the cost and difficulty of upgrading the pavilion 1000. Simultaneously, it facilitates standardized manufacturing during the production phase, ensuring a uniform structure for the main body 1211. Diverse lighting needs can be met simply by replacing the external connector 1212 with different lamp holders 1213, improving production and assembly efficiency.

[0090] In some embodiments, the lamp holder 1213 may also be located inside the beam side guide groove 13 and protrude from the main body 11 on the side of the main body 1211, which can make the light beam of the light-emitting element more concentrated inside the beam side guide groove 13, making it easier to clearly observe the accumulation of debris. It should be noted that the waterproof distance between the lamp holder 1213 and the bottom wall 122 of the beam side can be adjusted according to actual needs, and the specific value of the waterproof distance is not specifically limited in this application; or, the lamp holder 1213 protrudes from the side away from the beam side guide groove 13 on the side of the main body 1211, which can allow the light beam to be directly projected to the activity area around the pavilion 1000, improving the lighting comfort at night; or, the lamp holder 1213 includes a first lamp holder and a second lamp holder, wherein the first lamp holder is located inside the beam side guide groove 13 and protrudes from the side of the main body 11 on the side of the main body 1211, and the second lamp holder protrudes from the side away from the beam side guide groove 13 on the side of the main body, which can ensure smooth drainage and meet the lighting needs of surrounding activities. With this configuration, the lamp holder 1213 is directly mounted on the main body 1211. The structural strength of the main body 1211 can be used to improve the installation stability and prevent the lamp holder 1213 from becoming loose due to the disassembly and assembly of the external part 1212. This can better meet the reliability requirements of the gazebo 1000 during long-term use.

[0091] It is worth noting that both the main body 1211 and the outer part 1212 can be equipped with lamp holders 1213 to achieve more comprehensive lighting coverage. For example, the main body 1211 is provided with a lamp holder 1213 protruding towards the inside of the beam side guide groove 13 to concentrate the illumination of the inner groove surface of the beam side guide groove 13, while the outer part 1212 is provided with a lamp holder 1213 protruding towards the side opposite to the beam side guide groove 13 to provide basic lighting for the activity area around the pavilion 1000; or, for another example, the lamp holder 1213 of the main body 1211 protrudes towards the body part 11 to focus on the observation of debris inside the beam side guide groove 13, while the lamp holder 1213 of the outer part 1212 also includes a first protrusion towards the beam side guide groove 13. The lamp holder and the second lamp holder protruding from the side guide groove 13 not only enhance the internal lighting of the side guide groove 13, but also expand the lighting range of the edge of the pavilion 1000. Alternatively, the main body 1211 is provided with a lamp holder 1213 protruding from the side guide groove 13 to meet the lighting needs of the main activity area below the pavilion 1000, while the outer part 1212 is provided with a lamp holder 1213 facing the side guide groove 13, complementing the lamp holder 1213 of the main body 1211 to ensure stable lighting in both the interior and surrounding areas of the side guide groove 13. Multiple lamp holders 1213 can be provided in the main body 1211 and the outer part 1212, including but not limited to the above-mentioned forms, and can be adjusted according to structural design and design requirements, which will not be detailed here.

[0092] As described above, the light beam from the light-emitting element inside the beam-side guide channel 13 can be reflected and transmitted to the outside of the beam-side guide channel 13, achieving the purpose of lighting and creating a nighttime atmosphere. When combined with the light-emitting element on the lamp holder 1213 outside the beam-side guide channel 13, the coverage of the light can be further expanded, and the distribution of light intensity can be made more uniform. This not only meets the basic lighting needs of the area below and around the pavilion 1000, but also enhances the sense of layering of the nighttime environment through the synergistic effect of light from different areas, thereby achieving a better lighting effect.

[0093] Preferably, please refer to the following for details. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the lamp holder 1213 is provided with a mounting base for fixing the light-emitting element, and the lamp holder 1213 is inclined so that the projection of the lamp holder 1213 perpendicular to the mounting base faces the main body 11. In practical applications, the directionality of the light beam can reduce meaningless scattering to the outside of the beam side guide groove 13, avoiding unnecessary light interference to the surrounding environment of the pavilion 1000. Moreover, the light reflected by the inner groove surface can more efficiently converge to the activity area below the pavilion 1000, improving the targeting and energy efficiency of the lighting. In addition, the inclined setting can also make the light-receiving surface of the light-emitting element form an angle with the direction of rainwater falling, reducing the probability of rainwater directly adhering to the surface of the light-emitting element. Combined with the waterproof distance between the lamp holder 1213 and the bottom wall 122 of the beam side, the protective performance of the light-emitting element in outdoor wind and rain environment is further enhanced, ensuring long-term stable operation.

[0094] In the above-described configuration, the tilt setting of the lamp holder 1213 can be standardized during the design phase based on the pre-set tilt angle of the mounting base. During assembly, the lamp holder 1213 can be quickly tilted by detachably connecting to the main body 1211 or the external connector 1212, eliminating the need for on-site angle adjustment to ensure the optimal beam angle. This guarantees the best exit angle of the light beam, allowing it to be precisely projected onto the pre-set inner groove reflection area, ensuring efficient coverage of the target lighting area below the pavilion 1000. This not only avoids angle deviations that may occur with manual adjustment but also maintains the consistency of the tilt angle of each lamp holder 1213 during mass production, thus stably maintaining the optimal incident state of the beam and ensuring the reliability and uniformity of the lighting effect.

[0095] In some embodiments, please combine Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the main body 11 has an assembly part 14 on one side of the beam edge 12. Along the groove depth direction T of the beam edge guide groove 13, the assembly part 14 is located above the beam edge guide groove 13, and the projection of the lamp holder 1213 perpendicular to the mounting base is located below the assembly part 14. This assembly part 14 is used to assemble various roof shading components such as louver components 200, sunshades, awnings, and roller blinds. Its specific structure can be adapted to different roof shading components. For example, according to... Figure 4 As shown, the assembly part 14 of the alloy gazebo can be configured as a hanging groove for the louver support 210 of the louver assembly 200. In this way, since the assembly part 14 is located above the beam side guide groove 13, the installation height of the top sunshade assembly is higher than that of the beam side guide groove 13, avoiding spatial interference between the top sunshade assembly and the beam side guide groove 13, and ensuring that the normal drainage function of the beam side guide groove 13 is not affected during the opening and closing of the top sunshade assembly; at the same time, rainwater, dew and other liquids collected on the surface of the top sunshade assembly can flow naturally to the edge under the action of gravity and fall into the beam side guide groove 13 below, which also improves the smoothness of liquid collection.

[0096] More importantly, the projection of the lamp holder 1213 is located below the assembly part 14, which can prevent the assembly part 14 and the assembled sunshade components from blocking the light beam of the light source, ensuring that the light beam can be stably projected onto the inner groove surface of the beam side guide groove 13 or propagated to the area below the pavilion 1000, thus ensuring the effective functioning of the lighting. In addition, the spatial layout relationship between the assembly part 14, the beam side guide groove 13 and the lamp holder 1213 makes the three functional components of sunshade, drainage and lighting structurally coordinated and matched, which not only improves the space utilization efficiency of the beam frame 110, but also reduces the mutual interference between components such as the beam body 10 and the louver component 200, thereby improving the overall structural rationality and functional reliability of the outdoor sunshade building such as the pavilion 1000.

[0097] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, such as Figures 4 to 6As shown, a lamp groove 1214 is provided on the lamp holder 1213 corresponding to the installation position of the light-emitting element. The contour of the lamp groove 1214 is preferably adapted to the outer dimensions of the light-emitting element. The light-emitting element is embedded in the lamp groove 1214, and the embedding depth of the light-emitting element can be adjusted according to the size of the light-emitting element and the beam projection requirements to ensure that the light-emitting element and the lamp groove 1214 form a tight fit. Furthermore, an elastic snap-fit ​​structure can be provided on the inner side wall of the lamp groove 1214 to further enhance the fixing stability and installation efficiency of the light-emitting element. By limiting the position of the light-emitting element through the lamp groove 1214, the displacement of the light-emitting element under the action of outdoor wind, vibration and other external forces can be effectively restricted, avoiding the beam projection direction from deviating from the preset path due to positional displacement, thus ensuring the stability of lighting; at the same time, it also reduces the probability of rainwater and dew directly washing the surface of the light-emitting element, further improving the waterproof and dustproof performance of the light-emitting element and extending the service life of the light-emitting element in humid outdoor environments. Understandably, the light trough 1214 can be designed and adjusted according to different specifications of light-emitting components, facilitating the replacement of light-emitting components according to actual lighting needs and improving the functional adaptability and maintenance convenience of outdoor sunshade structures such as the gazebo 1000 during long-term use. For example, when the light-emitting components use LED beads / modules, the light trough 1214 is adapted to a circular or square groove, with multiple light-emitting components evenly distributed along the length L of the beam 10. When the light-emitting components use LED light strips, the light trough 1214 extends along the length L of the beam 10, with at least one end penetrating the beam 10, so that the LED light strip can be inserted into the light trough 1214.

[0098] In addition to the above-mentioned method of installing the light-emitting element using the lamp trough 1214, in other embodiments, the light-emitting element can also be installed on the lamp holder 1213 by pre-setting threaded holes at the installation position and using fasteners (such as bolts, screws, etc.); the light-emitting element can also be directly attached to the lamp holder 1213 by adhesive; magnetic fixation can also be used, that is, a permanent magnet is integrated on the light-emitting element, and a magnetic component that can magnetically engage with the permanent magnet is installed on the lamp holder 1213, which facilitates quick disassembly and replacement.

[0099] It should be noted that the light-emitting element can be directly mounted on the main body 1211 or the external part 1212 without using the lamp holder 1213. For example, a lamp groove 1214 can be directly formed on the main body 1211 and / or the external part 1212 near the opening on the guide groove, and the light-emitting element can be embedded in the lamp groove 1214; or, for another example, a permanent magnet can be integrated on the main body 1211 and / or the external part 1212, and a magnetic element that can magnetically engage with the permanent magnet can be installed on the light-emitting element, that is, the light-emitting element can be placed on one of the main body 1211 and the external part 1212.

[0100] In some embodiments, please refer to the specific details. Figures 4 to 6As shown, the external part 1212 includes a connecting wall 12121 and an external mounting wall 12122. The connecting wall 12121 engages with the main body 1211 to ensure a stable connection between the external part 1212 and the external mounting wall 12122, and to enable quick assembly and disassembly of the external part 1212 and the main body 1211. It should be noted that the lamp holder 1213 can be fixedly connected to the connecting wall 12121 by welding, bolting, snap-fitting, or integral molding, etc., to ensure more precise installation of the light-emitting component, reduce beam projection deviation caused by the shaking of the external part 1212, and ensure the stability of the lighting function.

[0101] Furthermore, the outer wall 12122 is located on the side of the connecting wall 12121 facing away from the beam edge 12, and the outer wall 12122 and the connecting wall 12121 enclose and construct a functional slot 12123 for at least accommodating wires and electrical components (such as drivers, connectors, transformers, etc.). The receiving slot of this functional slot 12123 in the depth direction is preferably aligned with the opening of the guide groove of the beam edge guide groove 13, that is, the orientation of the receiving slot and the opening of the guide groove are consistent. On the one hand, this provides physical protection for the wires and electrical components, preventing them from being directly exposed to outdoor wind, rain, ultraviolet radiation, and collisions with debris, reducing the probability of line aging, short circuits, or component failure, which is especially suitable for scenarios requiring long-term stable operation, such as alloy pavilions. On the other hand, this better avoids the visual clutter caused by direct exposure of wires and electrical components to the outdoor environment, making the appearance of the external connection part 1212 and even the entire beam 10 more concise and neat. Especially in scenarios that emphasize landscape harmony, such as alloy pavilions, it can reduce the damage to the overall design aesthetics of the pavilion 1000 caused by exposed wires. In this way, the snap-fit ​​method between the connecting wall 12121 and the main body 1211 is used to accommodate the functional slot 12123 for wires and electrical components, which facilitates the later maintenance or replacement of wires, electrical components and lamp holders 1213 in the functional slot 12123.

[0102] It should be further explained that the outer wall 12122 can be inclined and directly connected to the connecting wall 12121. The cross-section of the outer wall 12122 in the groove depth direction can be straight or curved, which will reduce the weight of the outer part 1212 and facilitate the lightweight design of the beam 10; for example, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The outer wall 12122 can also be connected to the connecting wall 12121 via a transition bottom wall 12126. That is, the outer part 1212 also includes a transition bottom wall 12126. The transition bottom wall 12126 is preferably arranged parallel to the beam edge bottom wall 122, and in the groove depth direction of the functional groove 12123, the transition bottom wall 12126 is flush with the beam edge bottom wall 122. Of course, in the groove depth direction, the cross section of the transition bottom wall 12126 can also be arc-shaped. The two ends of the transition bottom wall 12126 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting wall 12121 and the bottom of the outer wall 12122, respectively. The three together form a U-shaped functional groove 12123. The transition bottom wall 12126 can enhance the structural strength of the connection between the connecting wall 12121 and the outer wall 12122, and at the same time provide a flat bearing surface for wires and electrical components, so as to prevent the components from colliding with the connecting wall 12121 and the outer wall 12122 due to shaking.

[0103] In some embodiments, please refer to the specific details. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the external wall 12122 includes a first wall body 12122a and a second wall body 12122b. The first wall body 12122a is integrally formed or welded to the connecting wall 12121 to ensure that the external wall 12122 has sufficient structural strength to resist outdoor loads (such as wind impact, component self-weight, etc.). The second wall body 12122b is vertically or inclinedly disposed on the side of the first wall body 12122a away from the connecting wall 12121, and together with the first wall body 12122a, forms an external hanging groove 12124 with a U-shaped or V-shaped cross section. The groove depth and width of the external hanging groove 12124 can be adapted to the external dimensions of lighting components (such as lighting lamps, ambient lights, flashing lights, decorative lights) and decorative parts (such as metal trim, acrylic panels, green plant racks, etc.). The external mounting slot 12124 effectively prevents lighting components or decorative parts from falling off due to outdoor vibration and wind. It also reduces the area of ​​lighting components and decorative parts directly exposed to the external environment, minimizing the impact of external factors and extending their lifespan. Furthermore, it makes replacing lighting components and decorative parts more convenient. For example, the gazebo 1000 can be fitted with different flashing lights or ambient lights according to seasonal needs, or compatible decorative parts can be inserted to suit the aesthetic requirements of different scenes, without requiring modifications to the beam 10, thus improving the flexibility of functional adaptation.

[0104] With this configuration, the first wall 12122a provides reliable support for the outer hanging groove 12124 through a stable connection with the connecting wall 12121, avoiding deformation of the outer hanging wall 12122 due to the insertion of heavy lighting components or decorative parts, and ensuring structural stability in long-term processes such as alloy pavilions.

[0105] It is worth noting that the external mounting slot 12124 can house the lighting components, preventing exposed wiring and ensuring the lighting components do not protrude from the mounting slot 12124, thus maintaining the overall aesthetics of outdoor sunshade structures such as the pavilion 1000. In this case, only the luminous surface or beam of the lighting components is exposed. For example, in an alloy pavilion, a strip ambient light is embedded in the external mounting slot 12124. The main body of the strip ambient light and its connecting wires are hidden within the mounting slot 12124, with only the luminous surface of the LED beads flush with the surface of the external wall 12122. When viewed from a distance, the light will shine directly from the beam 10 itself, blending seamlessly with the strip ambient light effect of the pavilion 1000.

[0106] For details, please refer to the above. Figure 6 The connecting wall 12121 is provided with an upper slot that matches the end profile of the main body 1211. The end of the main body 1211 away from the bottom wall 122 of the beam edge is directly inserted into and engaged in the upper slot. Anti-slip ridges can be provided on the inner side of the upper slot to enhance the engagement friction. Furthermore, the bottom wall 122 of the beam edge is provided with a lower slot 1215. Along the groove depth direction T of the beam edge guide groove 13, the groove opening direction of the lower slot 1215 is opposite to the opening direction of the beam edge guide groove 13. The connecting wall 12121 is provided with a corresponding locking arm 12125 that can be inserted into the lower slot 1215. The cooperation between the locking arm 12125 and the lower slot 1215 forms support and upper limit position from below the bottom wall 122 of the beam edge. Combined with the engagement of the upper slot and the main body 1211, a lower limit position is formed from above, effectively realizing a tight connection between the connecting wall 12121 and the outer wall 12122.

[0107] In addition to the above-mentioned method, in other embodiments, the connecting wall 12121 is provided with an upper slot that matches the end profile of the main body 1211. The end of the main body 1211 away from the bottom wall 122 of the beam is directly inserted into and engaged in the upper slot. The connecting wall 12121 is also provided with a first fastening part (such as an elastic buckle). The main body 1211 is provided with a second fastening part (such as a buckle hole) at a corresponding position that can engage with the first fastening part. The second fastening part is provided on the side wall of the main body 1211. The slot achieves initial positioning, and the first fastening part and the second fastening part form a secondary fixation, which can also achieve a tight engagement between the connecting wall 12121 and the outer wall 12122.

[0108] This configuration allows for rapid positioning and initial fixation of the connecting wall 12121 and the main body 1211, ensuring assembly efficiency. The engagement of the lower slot 1215 and the locking arm 12125 enhances the pull-out resistance of the connection from the bottom, preventing the connecting wall 12121 from detaching from the main body 1211 under gravity or external force. This is particularly suitable for situations where the pavilion 1000 is frequently subjected to large vertical loads. The secondary fixation of the first and second fastening parts reduces the gap between the connecting wall 12121 and the main body 1211, reduces relative displacement caused by vibration, and enhances the overall rigidity of the structure, resisting lateral loads such as outdoor wind, thereby improving the versatility and adaptability of the beam 10.

[0109] It must be noted that in the above-mentioned structural configuration of the beam frame 110, when the pavilion 1000 has different emphases on the functions of the first crossbeam 110a and the second crossbeam 110b (such as one side needing to focus on drainage and lighting coordination, while the other side only needs foundation support and simple decoration), or to ensure that the pavilion roof has good drainage function and uniform lighting effect, either the first crossbeam 110a or the second crossbeam 110b can be selected to use the above-mentioned beam body 10; when only the first crossbeam 110a or the second crossbeam 110b needs to have integrated lighting, efficient drainage and other functions, either the first crossbeam 110a or the second crossbeam 110b can be selected to use the above-mentioned beam body 10, and the other can be a conventional crossbeam in the prior art, so as to reduce the overall cost of the pavilion 1000.

[0110] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to the following for details. Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the main body 11 of the beam 10 has an inner cavity 15 formed by the first side wall and the second side wall. The beam frame 110 also includes a crossbeam fixing member 112. The shape of the crossbeam fixing member 112 is adapted to the contour of the inner cavity 15 and can be tightly inserted into the inner cavity 15. The part of the crossbeam fixing member 112 near the end of the beam 10 is connected to the aforementioned adapter 111 by a detachable method such as bolt connection or snap connection, so as to ensure the connection strength of the beam frame 110 and the pavilion 1000 as a whole, avoid the connection loosening caused by outdoor wind load, vibration and other external forces, and ensure the stability of the overall structure of the beam frame 110. In addition, the detachable connection between the crossbeam fixing component 112 and the adapter component 111 facilitates the rapid connection of the beam frame 110 during the production and assembly stage, and also provides convenience for component replacement during later maintenance. For example, when the beam 10 of the pavilion 1000 is damaged, it can be replaced separately by disassembling the connection between the crossbeam fixing component 112 and the adapter component 111, without having to disassemble the entire beam frame 110.

[0111] It is worth noting that the crossbeam fixing member 112 is inserted into the inner cavity 15, which can reduce the direct contact between external rainwater and dust and the connection between the adapter 111, the crossbeam fixing member 112, and the end of the beam 10. Of course, a sealing gasket can also be installed between the adapter 111 and the end of the beam 10 to further improve the protective performance of the connection, reduce the risk of corrosion and aging, thereby extending the service life of the beam frame 110 in outdoor environments and ensuring the long-term reliable use of alloy pavilions and other types of outdoor sunshade structures.

[0112] It should be noted here that, in this embodiment, please refer to... Figure 7 The aforementioned column 120 has a cavity 20 inside which the adapter 111 can be inserted. A partition plate 21 is installed inside the cavity 20, which extends along the length of the column 120 and divides the cavity 20 into an independent wiring cavity and a drainage cavity. The independence here should be understood as the wiring cavity and the drainage cavity being completely separated in space, with no direct connection between them. The wiring cavity is used to accommodate the wires connecting the light-emitting components, driving components, etc., while the drainage cavity is specifically used to drain liquid. This ensures that liquid cannot seep into the wiring cavity from the drainage cavity, and wires and electrical components will not enter the drainage cavity. The functional areas and scope of the wiring cavity and the drainage cavity do not interfere with each other or overlap, ensuring that the wiring and drainage functions are completely separated in physical space. This avoids the liquid in the drainage cavity from coming into contact with the wires and electrical components in the wiring cavity, structurally eliminating the risk of short circuits and component damage due to moisture. Especially in scenarios with heavy rainfall, this can ensure the safe operation of the electrical system inside the pavilion 1000.

[0113] Understandably, the partition plate 21 can be made by integral molding with the column 120. For example, the metal column 120 can be die-cast to form a cavity 20 with the partition plate 21, or the lightweight column 120 can be injection molded to achieve a stable connection between the partition plate 21 and the cavity wall, ensuring complete isolation between the two chambers.

[0114] Furthermore, the beam edge guide groove 13 is connected to the drainage cavity, allowing liquid to flow smoothly into the drainage cavity and exit along it. This prevents liquid from accumulating inside the column 120 or leaking to other parts, reducing the probability of liquid eroding the column 120 itself and its surroundings. Preferably, the bottom of the column 120 (i.e., the part of the column 120 closest to the ground) is provided with a drain outlet connected to the drainage cavity, facilitating the discharge of liquid from the drainage cavity to the outside of the column 120.

[0115] The main body 11 of the beam 10 can be connected to the column 120 by bolts, mortise and tenon joints, or other methods. For example, the main body 11 of the alloy pavilion can be bolted to the column 120 via a flange, or it can be inserted into the slot at the top of the column 120 for positioning. This not only achieves orderly storage of the wiring related to sunshade and lighting, but also ensures efficient drainage of the pavilion 1000, while improving the structural stability and functional reliability of the entire outdoor sunshade structure, including the pavilion 1000.

[0116] The above is an explanation of the beam structure proposed in the embodiments of this application. Since the outdoor sunshade building and pavilion proposed in the embodiments of this application adopt all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, they have at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
