Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carport technology, and in particular to a carport. Background Technology

[0002] Carports are outdoor protective facilities used to protect vehicles from sun and rain. They serve functions such as wind and rain shelter, sun protection, landscaping, and protection against falling objects. They are classified into two types based on their usage: fixed carports and mobile carports. Fixed carports are mostly made of membrane structures, steel structures, or aluminum alloys and are commonly found in residential areas, schools, shopping malls, and other public places. Mobile carports are mainly made of canvas, plastic, and other materials and are primarily installed on cars, electric vehicles, and other means of transportation.

[0003] Common fixed carports typically consist of columns, crossbeams, longitudinal beams, and a roof. The assembly of these components usually requires multiple bolts or screws for secure connection. The roof is often constructed from a single piece of horizontal or vertical material. In traditional fixed carports, these bolts or screws are exposed, making them prone to corrosion and rust after prolonged use, which can hinder loading, unloading, and maintenance. Furthermore, using a single piece of horizontal or vertical material for the roof makes transportation and loading / unloading inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model discloses a carport, which mainly solves the problems of traditional fixed carports where bolts are exposed during assembly and are prone to corrosion and rust, and the inconvenience of transporting and loading / unloading due to the use of a single horizontal or vertical roof piece.

[0005] To achieve the aforementioned objective, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: This utility model provides a carport, including multiple horizontally arranged main frames. Multiple crossbeams are connected to the top of adjacent main frames. Multiple longitudinal drainage components are connected to the top of the multiple crossbeams at intervals. Multiple horizontal drainage components are arranged at intervals between adjacent longitudinal drainage components, so that the horizontal drainage components flow onto the longitudinal drainage components. Multiple canopies are connected to the longitudinal drainage components, which are arranged horizontally and vertically, such that the longitudinal drainage components are located between adjacent left and right canopies, and the horizontal drainage components are located between adjacent front and rear canopies. The main frame includes interconnected columns and longitudinal beams. The columns are connected to the longitudinal beams via vertical connectors, and the longitudinal beams are connected to the transverse beams via transverse connectors. The columns, longitudinal beams, and transverse beams are all beam rods. Each beam rod includes a beam body. The left and right sides of the beam body are provided with grooves for accommodating bolts or screws. The beam body is fitted with a cover plate corresponding to the groove to cover the groove.

[0006] In one embodiment, the cover plate has extension plates extending toward the groove at both ends, and the end of the extension plate has a protruding first locking block. The groove has a protrusion at the position corresponding to the extension plate, and the protrusion has a protruding second locking block at the position corresponding to the first locking block. The first locking block and the second locking block cooperate with each other, and the edges of the extension plate and the cover plate have a gap that can accommodate the protrusion.

[0007] In one embodiment, the vertical connector includes a vertical connecting block and a vertical connecting plate. The column is provided with a vertical through hole that matches the vertical connecting block, and the beam is provided with a sliding groove that matches the vertical connecting plate. The top of the sliding groove is provided with threads that engage with screws.

[0008] In one embodiment, the transverse connector includes a transverse connecting block and a transverse connecting plate, the beam has a beam hole that matches the transverse connecting block, and the slot formed by the second locking block and the groove matches the transverse connecting plate.

[0009] In one embodiment, the longitudinal drainage component is provided with a longitudinal drainage groove, the transverse drainage component is provided with a transverse drainage groove, the longitudinal drainage groove is connected to the transverse drainage groove, and the bottom height of the longitudinal drainage groove is lower than the bottom height of the transverse drainage groove.

[0010] In one embodiment, the canopy is installed on the longitudinal drainage component via a short material connector. The longitudinal drainage component has symmetrically arranged protruding top connecting plates at the openings of the longitudinal drainage channels. The short material connector includes an upper U-shaped frame disposed between adjacent left and right canopies and a lower U-shaped frame disposed in the longitudinal drainage channels. The upper U-shaped frame and the lower U-shaped frame are fixedly connected. The upper U-shaped frame has upper locking blocks at both ends, which are locked above the canopy. The lower edge of the upper locking blocks has teeth. The lower U-shaped frame has lower locking blocks at both ends, corresponding to the upper and lower edges of the top connecting plate. The lower locking blocks are fixed to the top connecting plate.

[0011] In one embodiment, a long material rain curtain is provided at the top between the left and right adjacent canopies. The long material rain curtain includes a curtain panel for covering the gap between the left and right adjacent canopies and an upper locking block. The curtain panel is provided with elastic plates symmetrically arranged towards the canopy. The end of the elastic plate is provided with a third locking block protruding towards the canopy. The upper U-shaped frame is provided with a fourth locking block at the position corresponding to the third locking block. The two third locking blocks abut against the adjacent fourth locking blocks respectively.

[0012] The advantages or beneficial effects of the above technical solution include at least the following: A modular design is formed through the cooperation of the main frame, crossbeams, longitudinal drainage components, and roof, facilitating transportation and installation. The longitudinal and crossbeams on the main frame utilize a beam structure, with grooves on the beam body and cover plates engaging to accommodate bolts or screws, facilitating the connection between the longitudinal and crossbeams. The cover plates also conceal the bolts or screws, improving aesthetics and preventing rust caused by exposure. Furthermore, the multiple roof installations reduce the roof size, facilitating initial transportation and maintenance. The cooperation of longitudinal and transverse drainage components integrates the drainage path. Attached Figure Description

[0021] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 10 The present invention provides a carport, comprising multiple horizontally arranged main frame bodies 1, multiple crossbeams 2 connected to the top of adjacent main frame bodies 1, multiple longitudinally spaced drainage components 3 connected to the top of the multiple crossbeams 2, multiple horizontally spaced drainage components 4 arranged between adjacent longitudinally spaced drainage components 3, so that the horizontally spaced drainage components 4 flow onto the longitudinally spaced drainage components 3, and multiple canopies 5 arranged in both the horizontal and vertical directions are connected to the longitudinally spaced drainage components 3, so that the longitudinally spaced drainage components 3 are located between adjacent left and right canopies 5, and the horizontally spaced drainage components 4 are located between adjacent front and rear canopies 5. The main frame 1 includes interconnected columns 11 and longitudinal beams 12. The columns 11 are connected to the longitudinal beams 12 via vertical connectors 13, and the longitudinal beams 12 are connected to the crossbeams 2 via transverse connectors 8. The column 11, longitudinal beam 12 and crossbeam 2 are all made of beam rod 9. The beam rod 9 includes a beam body 91. The left and right sides of the beam body 91 are provided with grooves 911 for accommodating bolts or screws. The beam body 91 is fitted with a cover plate 92 for covering the grooves 911 at the corresponding positions.

[0022] The longitudinal beam 12 is designed with one end higher than the other, so that the longitudinal drainage component 3 and the roof 5 installed above it are both inclined to facilitate unified drainage. A solar photovoltaic system can be installed on the roof 5 to convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it for use.

[0023] The above-described structure, through the cooperation of the main frame 1, crossbeams 2, longitudinal drainage components 3, and canopy 5, forms a modular design, facilitating transportation and installation. The longitudinal beams 12 and crossbeams 2 on the main frame 1 utilize beam rods 9. The grooves 911 on the beam body 91 of the beam rods 9 and the cover plates 92 engage to accommodate bolts or screws, facilitating the connection between the longitudinal beams 12 and crossbeams 2. The cover plates 92 conceal the bolts or screws, improving aesthetics and preventing rust caused by exposure. The multiple canopies 5 reduce their size, facilitating initial transportation and maintenance. The cooperation of the longitudinal drainage components 3 and the transverse drainage components 4 integrates the drainage path.

[0024] In one embodiment, see Figure 10The cover plate 92 has extension plates 921 extending towards the groove 911 at both ends. Each end of the extension plate 921 has a raised first locking block 922. A protrusion 912 is provided in the groove 911 corresponding to the position of the extension plate 921, and a raised second locking block 913 is provided in the protrusion 912 corresponding to the position of the first locking block 922. The first locking block 922 and the second locking block 913 cooperate with each other. The edges of the extension plate 921 and the cover plate 92 have a gap that can accommodate the protrusion 912. In practical application, through the cooperation of the extension plate 921 and the gap, and the cooperation of the first locking block 922 and the second locking block 913, the cover plate 92 can be locked onto the beam 91.

[0025] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 The vertical connector 13 includes a vertical connecting block 131 and a vertical connecting plate 132. The column 11 is provided with a vertical through hole 111 that matches the vertical connecting block 131. The beam 9 is provided with a sliding groove 914 that matches the vertical connecting plate 132. The top of the sliding groove 914 is provided with a thread 915 that engages with a screw. In practical applications, the threaded design 915 facilitates the insertion of the vertical connecting plate 132 into the groove 914. The screw passes through the vertical connecting plate 132 and is screwed into the threaded design 915, thus fixing the vertical connecting plate 132 onto the longitudinal beam 12. With the cooperation of the vertical through hole 111 of the column 11 and the vertical connecting block 131, the vertical connecting block 131 is inserted into the vertical through hole 111 and then fixed onto the column 11 with bolts. The bolts are located in the groove 911 of the column 11 and are covered by the cover plate 92 to improve aesthetics and prevent rusting.

[0026] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 and Figure 9 The transverse connecting component 8 includes a transverse connecting block 81 and a transverse connecting plate 82. The beam 9 has beam holes 916 that match the transverse connecting block 81. The groove formed by the second locking block 913 and the groove 911 matches the transverse connecting plate 82. In practical applications, after the transverse connecting plate 82 is embedded in the groove formed by the second locking block 913 and the groove 911 of the longitudinal beam 12 and fixed to the crossbeam 2 with screws, it is covered by a cover plate 92. Similarly, after the transverse connecting block 81 is embedded in the beam hole 916 of the crossbeam 2 and fixed to the crossbeam 2 with bolts, it is covered by a cover plate 92 to improve aesthetics and prevent the bolts and screws from rusting.

[0027] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4The longitudinal drainage component 3 is provided with a longitudinal drainage channel 31, and the transverse drainage component 4 is provided with a transverse drainage channel. The longitudinal drainage channel 31 is connected to the transverse drainage channel, and the bottom height of the longitudinal drainage channel 31 is lower than that of the transverse drainage channel. In practical applications, the longitudinal drainage channel 31 and the transverse drainage channel facilitate the drainage of water from the transverse drainage channel to the longitudinal drainage channel 31, and the water is then discharged from the longitudinal drainage channel 31.

[0028] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The canopy 5 is installed on the longitudinal drainage component 3 via short connecting parts 6. The longitudinal drainage component 3 has symmetrically arranged protruding top connecting plates 32 corresponding to the openings of the longitudinal drainage channel 31. The short connecting parts 6 include an upper U-shaped frame 61 positioned between adjacent left and right canopies 5 and a lower U-shaped frame 62 positioned within the longitudinal drainage channel 31. The upper U-shaped frame 61 and lower U-shaped frame 62 are fixedly connected. Upper locking blocks 611 are provided at both ends of the upper U-shaped frame 61, locking onto the top of the canopy 5. Teeth 612 are provided on the lower edge of the upper locking blocks 611. Lower locking blocks 621 are provided at both ends of the lower U-shaped frame 62, corresponding to the upper and lower edges of the top connecting plate 32, and are fixed to the top connecting plate 32. The upper U-shaped frame 61 and lower U-shaped frame 62 are connected by bolts (not shown in the figure). In practical application, the canopy 5 can be fixed to the longitudinal drainage component 3 through the cooperation of the upper U-shaped frame 61 and lower U-shaped frame 62.

[0029] A long material rain curtain 7 is installed at the top between the left and right adjacent canopies 5. The long material rain curtain 7 includes a curtain panel 71 for covering the gap between the left and right adjacent canopies 5 and an upper retaining block 611. The curtain panel 71 is provided with elastic plates 72 symmetrically arranged towards the canopies 5. The end of the elastic plate 72 is provided with a third retaining block 73 protruding towards the canopy 5. The upper U-shaped frame 61 is provided with a fourth retaining block 613 corresponding to the position of the third retaining block 73. The two third retaining blocks 73 respectively abut against the adjacent fourth retaining block 613. In practical application, the long material rain curtain 7 can cover the gap between the left and right adjacent canopies 5 to prevent water from flowing into the gap between the left and right adjacent canopies 5 when it rains, and can also cover the upper retaining block 611 to improve the aesthetics.
