Abstract
Description
[0001] The present utility model discloses a garden tool shed and belongs to the field of garden tool sheds.
[0002] Gardening requires a variety of tools due to the careful maintenance of flowers and plants. Therefore, garden sheds are often built to house the necessary tools and ensure optimal storage. This not only provides convenient storage but also contributes to a clean and aesthetically pleasing garden.
[0003] A typical garden shed comprises walls, a crossbeam frame, and a roof. The crossbeam frame is usually formed by joining and fixing several crossbeams together. Connecting elements and fasteners are required to join the crossbeams. In the current state of the art, connecting elements are attached to the outside of the crossbeams at the junction of two crossbeams. These connecting elements are then fixed to the crossbeams using fasteners, thus securing the two crossbeams together. However, both the connecting elements and the fasteners are exposed on the outside, which detracts from the aesthetics.
[0004] The present utility model addresses the problem of exposed connecting elements on the outside of crossbeams. According to this utility model, the problem is solved by a garden shed in which both the first and second connecting elements are concealed within the crossbeams. This gives the crossbeam frame improved structural integrity and enhances the aesthetics of the garden shed.
[0005] According to the present utility model, the problem is solved by a garden shed with the features of claim 1. Further developments thereof are specified in the dependent claims.
[0006] The following technical design contributes to this: A garden shed including: walls; a crossbeam frame comprising several eaves beams and center beams, wherein the center beams are spaced apart and attached to the upper ends of the respective walls, wherein the eaves beams are arranged in a frame-like manner around the center beams on their outer perimeter, wherein the eaves beams are connected to the center beams via first connecting elements, and wherein the ends of two adjacent eaves beams are connected to each other via a second connecting element; a roof comprising several roof panels, with two adjacent roof panels being connected to each other by a plug-in connection and attached to the crossbeam frame via a fastening element; wherein both the eaves beams and the center beams are provided with through holes, wherein the individual first connecting element is attached to a side face of the respective eaves beam, wherein the individual first connecting element is inserted into the through hole of the respective center beam in order to be concealed within the respective center beam, and is fixed by means of a fastening element; wherein the individual second connecting element comprises two mutually perpendicular plug ends, wherein the two plug ends are each inserted into the through holes of two eaves beams in order to be concealed within the eaves beams, and are fixed by means of fastening elements;wherein the individual roof panel comprises a fastening end and a snap end, wherein the fastening end is attached to the crossbeam frame via a fastening element, two adjacent roof panels are snap-fit together via the fastening end and the snap end, and the fastening end is covered by the snap end.
[0007] The present invention is characterized by the following advantageous effects: The garden shed features both the eaves and the center beams with through holes. The first connecting element is attached to the side of each eaves beam. When connecting the eaves beam to the center beam, one end of the center beam rests directly against the eaves beam. The first connecting element extends completely into the through hole of the center beam, thus being entirely concealed within it. Furthermore, the fastener that connects the first connecting element to the eaves beam is also concealed by the center beam. This results in improved structural integrity of the connection between the individual eaves beam and the respective center beam, enhancing the aesthetics of the crossbeam frame. Furthermore, the single second connector comprises two perpendicular ends. When connecting two eaves beams, these two ends are inserted into the through-holes of the two eaves beams. When the ends of the two eaves beams are abutting each other, the single second connector is completely concealed. This eliminates any visible connecting parts at the corners of the eaves beam ends, preventing any visual detraction. The outer surfaces of the eaves beams appear flatter, and the crossbeam frame as a whole looks simpler and neater, significantly improving the overall aesthetics of the garden shed.Furthermore, the simultaneous insertion of the second connecting element into both roof overhang beams facilitates the positioning of the beams. This enables quick positioning of the two roof overhang beams, simplifies and speeds up their assembly, and can significantly increase the assembly efficiency of the garden shed. Furthermore, the roof is assembled by snapping several roof panels together. Snapping the panels together facilitates their relative positioning, enables quick assembly, and can reduce the overall assembly effort, thus increasing the efficiency of the roof construction. Additionally, once connected to the fastening end of an adjacent roof panel, the snap end conceals this fastening end, thus hiding the underlying fastener. This gives the roof better structural integrity and contributes to an improved aesthetic appearance. Furthermore, concealing the fastening end with the snap-on end can reduce the likelihood of corrosion of the fastener by rainwater, thus extending its service life. Preferably, the individual first connecting element is provided with several positioning pins on a side facing the respective roof overhang beam, wherein a side surface of the individual roof overhang beam is provided with positioning holes. with which the respective positioning pins interact to achieve the positioning of the individual first connecting element with the respective roof overhang beam; The individual first connecting element is provided with at least two mounting holes, and the individual connecting element is connected to the respective eaves beam via the respective mounting hole. By using the aforementioned technical solution, the interaction of the individual positioning pin with the respective positioning hole provides a precise positioning basis for the installation of the respective first connecting element and the respective eaves beam. During the installation process, the correct position of the individual first connecting element on the respective eaves beam can be quickly determined by simply and accurately inserting the respective positioning pin into the respective positioning hole, thus preventing installation displacement of the individual connecting element due to manual handling errors.The individual center beam then ensures that the first connecting element protrudes into the respective through-hole, guaranteeing a high degree of accuracy and consistency in the connection between the center beam and the respective eaves beam. This can significantly improve the precision of the overall crossbeam frame structure while simultaneously making the installation process for the center beams and eaves beams more intuitive and simpler, eliminating the need for repeated adjustments to the connecting element positions and thus considerably increasing the installation efficiency of the eaves beams and center beams.Furthermore, the interaction of the individual positioning pin with the respective positioning hole can limit the relative movement between the respective first connecting element and the respective roof overhang beam, while simultaneously distributing the stresses acting on the respective first connecting element, thereby reducing the forces acting on the respective fastening element and decreasing the probability of loosening between the individual first connecting element and. is favored by the respective roof overhang beam.
[0008] Preferably, the individual first connecting element comprises a connecting block and two fastening blocks, wherein the connecting block is fastened between the two fastening blocks, wherein the connecting block and the fastening blocks are flush on a side facing the respective roof overhang beam, wherein the thickness of the fastening blocks in the longitudinal direction of the respective central beam is greater than that of the connecting block, wherein after the individual first connecting element projects into the respective through-hole, the fastening blocks remain in contact with the inner wall of the respective through-hole, and wherein both the fastening blocks and the connecting block are each provided with a fastening hole and the individual central beam is connected to the respective fastening blocks by a fastening element.By employing the aforementioned technical solution, the flush design of the fastening blocks with one side of the connecting block ensures that the individual first connecting element can lie tightly against the side surface of the respective crossbeam. This increases the contact area between the individual first connecting element and the respective eaves beam, enabling a more stable and reliable installation of the individual first connecting element to the respective eaves beam and providing a reliable foundation for the connection to the respective center beam. This significantly increases the connection strength and stability between the individual eaves beam and the respective center beam.Furthermore, the fastening blocks, by remaining in contact with the inner wall of the respective through-hole, can be used to position the respective center beam. This reduces the degree of play between the center beam and the first connecting element and promotes improved connection stability between the center beam and the first connecting element. Additionally, the greater thickness of the fastening blocks compared to the connecting block allows for higher overall strength, providing a more stable connection base for the respective fasteners and reducing the likelihood of them loosening.
[0009] Preferably, at least two longitudinally oriented reinforcing ribs are provided in each through-hole, dividing the through-hole into three insertion recesses. Each reinforcing rib is provided at one end of the respective central beam with a clearance recess to avoid contact with the connecting block. The fastening blocks and the connecting block each project into an insertion recess, and the fastening blocks remain in contact with the inner wall of the respective insertion recesses. By using the above technical solution, the reinforcing ribs can provide reliable structural support to the respective central beam, thereby increasing its strength and load-bearing capacity.Furthermore, the subdivision of each through-hole into insertion recesses by the respective reinforcing ribs increases the contact area between the individual fastening blocks and the respective center beam. This creates greater friction between the individual first connecting element and the respective center beam, which improves the positioning capability of the individual first connecting element for the respective center beam and reduces the likelihood of loosening between the individual first connecting element and the respective center beam. This makes the connection between the individual eaves beam and the respective center beam more robust and reliable.
[0010] Preferably, one end of each roof overhang beam is a sloping surface, and after two adjacent roof overhang beams are joined, the ends of the beams always rest against each other to conceal the respective second connecting element. Furthermore, the side surface of each roof overhang beam facing the respective central beam is firmly connected to the respective second connecting element by a fastening element. By using the above technical solution, the ends of two adjacent roof overhang beams remain abutting each other after they are joined, thus successfully concealing the respective second connecting element. As a result, the joints of the roof overhang beams appear visually smoother and more continuous, without any visible joinery marks or protruding parts, which improves the overall visual effect and aesthetics of the garden shed.
[0011] Preferably, the fastening end is provided with a locking groove on one side facing the snap end and with a mounting plate on the other side, the opening of the locking groove facing the snap end. The mounting plate is firmly connected to the crossbeam frame by a fastening element. The snap end is provided with a locking strip extending towards the fastening end, which is inserted into the locking groove to create the snap connection between two adjacent roof panels. By using the above technical solution, during the installation process, it is only necessary to align the locking strip of one roof panel with the locking groove of another. The locking strip can then be easily inserted into the locking groove by gently sliding it, thus achieving a preliminary assembly and positioning.This rapid positioning method significantly simplifies the installation of the roof panels, reduces adjustment time during installation, and increases assembly efficiency. Furthermore, after the locking strip is inserted into the locking groove, the joint between two adjacent roof panels appears visually smooth and shows no visible joining marks, giving the joined roof panels improved continuity and integrity.
[0012] Preferably, the upper end of each wall is provided with mounting grooves for embedding the center beams, wherein the individual center beam and the respective wall are connected to each other by a third connecting element, which third connecting element comprises a connecting base and a connecting plate, wherein the connecting base has a U-shaped structure, wherein the respective center beam is embedded in the connecting base and fixed by a fastening element, wherein the connecting plate is attached to the connecting base and extends downwards, and wherein the connecting plate is fixed to the respective wall by a fastening element.
[0013] Preferably, the roof overhang beams comprise a front side beam, a left side beam, a right side beam, and a rear side beam, wherein the left and right side beams are attached to both ends of the respective center beam by the respective first connecting elements, wherein the front and rear side beams are attached between the ends of the left and right side beams by the respective second connecting elements, and wherein the left and right side beams are arranged at an angle and the height of the front side beam is higher than that of the rear side beam.
[0014] Preferably, one side of the rear side beam facing the respective wall is provided with a drainage channel that includes a support plate serving to support the respective roof panel. One side of the support plate rests against the respective wall, while the other side extends towards the rear side beam. By using the above technical solution, the drainage channel can quickly collect and drain rainwater running off the roof panels. This prevents the accumulation of rainwater on the roof or the crossbeam frame and reduces erosion of the garden shed due to waterlogging. Furthermore, the support plate resting against the respective wall reduces the dripping of rainwater through the gap between the rear side beam and the respective wall, thus improving the rain protection provided by the crossbeam frame.
[0015] Preferably, one side of each roof overhang beam facing away from the respective central beam is provided with an upward-extending end plate, and four end plates are arranged around the outer perimeter of the roof panels. By using this technical solution, the end plates act as a water barrier and reduce the runoff of rainwater over the outer sides of the crossbeams. This allows more rainwater to enter the drainage channel, thus improving the drainage performance of the crossbeam frame. Furthermore, the end plates enclose the roof panels and conceal their edges, preventing the edges of the roof panels from being directly visible. This contributes to improving the aesthetics of the garden shed.

[0021] As in Fig. Figures 1 to 10 illustrate the present embodiment of a garden shed comprising walls 1, a crossbeam frame 2, and a roof 3. The crossbeam frame 2 is attached to the upper ends of the walls 1. The crossbeam frame 2 includes several eaves beams and center beams 25. The center beams 25 are spaced apart at the upper ends of the walls 1, with the length of the center beams 25 being greater than the distance between two opposing walls 1. This means that both ends of the center beams 25 project beyond the walls 1. Four eaves beams are provided, joined together and arranged around the outer circumference of the center beams 25. The eaves beams form an outer frame of the crossbeam frame 2 and enclose the walls 1.Two of the roof overhang beams are each attached to both ends of the central beams 25 via first connecting elements 41, while the ends of two adjacent roof overhang beams are connected to each other via a second connecting element 42. The roof 3 comprises several roof panels, with two adjacent roof panels being connected to each other by means of a plug-in connection and fixed to the crossbeam frame 2 via fastening elements 5.
[0022] In the present embodiment, both the roof overhang beams and the center beams 25 are provided with through holes 27. The individual first connecting element 41 is attached to a side surface of the respective roof overhang beam. The individual first connecting element 41 is inserted into the through hole 25 of the respective center beam 27 so that it is concealed within the respective center beam 25 and is secured by a fastening element 5. The individual second connecting element 42 comprises two mutually perpendicular plug ends. The two plug ends are each inserted into the through holes 27 of two roof overhang beams so that they are concealed within the roof overhang beams and are secured by fastening elements 5. The individual roof panel comprises a fastening end 32 and a snap end 31. The fastening end 32 is attached to the crossbeam frame 2 by a fastening element 5.Two adjacent roof panels are snapped together via the fastening end 32 and the snap end 31. The fastening end 32 is covered by the snap end 31.
[0023] In the present utility model, both the eaves beams and the center beams 25 are provided with through holes 27. The individual first connecting element 41 is attached to the side surface of the respective eaves beam. When the individual eaves beam is connected to the respective center beam 25, one end of the center beam 25 rests directly against the eaves beam. The individual first connecting element 41 projects completely into the through hole 27 of the respective center beam 25, so that the first connecting element 41 is completely within the center beam 25. In addition, the fastening element 5, which connects the individual first connecting element 41 to the respective eaves beam, is concealed by the respective center beam 25. This results in improved structural integrity of the connection between the respective eaves beam and the respective center beam 25 and enhances the aesthetics of the crossbeam frame 2.Furthermore, the single second connecting element 42 comprises two mutually perpendicular plug ends. When connecting two eaves beams, the two plug ends are each inserted into the through holes 27 of the two eaves beams. When the ends of the two eaves beams are abutting each other, the single second connecting element 42 is completely concealed. This means there are no visible connecting parts at the corners of the eaves beam ends that would detract from the visual appearance. The outer surfaces of the eaves beams appear flatter, and the crossbeam frame 2 looks simpler and neater overall, which can significantly improve the overall aesthetics of the garden shed. In addition, the simultaneous insertion of the single second connecting element 42 into two eaves beams serves to position the eaves beams using the second connecting element 42.This allows for quick positioning of the two eaves beams, simplifies and speeds up their assembly, and can significantly increase the assembly efficiency of the garden shed. Furthermore, the roof 3 is assembled by snapping several roof panels together. Snapping the roof panels together facilitates their relative positioning, enables quick assembly, and can reduce the assembly effort for the roof 3, thus increasing its assembly efficiency. Additionally, after connecting to the fastening end 32 of an adjacent roof panel, the snap end 31 of one roof panel conceals this fastening end 32, thus hiding the underlying fastener 5. This provides the roof 3 with better structural integrity and contributes to improving its aesthetics.Furthermore, covering the fastening end 32 with the snap end 31 can reduce the probability of corrosion of the respective fastening element 5 by rainwater and thus contributes to extending the service life of the fastening element 5.
[0024] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 3, the walls 1 in the present embodiment comprise a front wall 1, a rear wall 1, a left wall 1, and a right wall 1. The center beams 25 are placed on the upper ends of the left wall 1 and the right wall 1. That is, the longitudinal direction of each center beam 25 runs parallel to the front wall 1 and the rear wall 1. Two of the roof overhang beams run parallel to the left wall 1 and the right wall 1. Several positioning holes 221 are provided on one side of these two roof overhang beams facing the respective center beam 25. Several positioning pins 413 are provided on one side of the respective first connecting element 41 facing the respective roof overhang beam. These pins interact with the respective positioning holes 221 to enable the positioning of the first connecting element 41 and the respective roof overhang beam.Additionally, the individual first connecting element 41 is provided with at least two fastening holes 414. After positioning the individual first connecting element 41 relative to the respective eaves beam by means of the positioning pins 413 and the positioning holes 221, the respective fastening element 5 is connected to the eaves beam through the fastening holes 414 to establish a firm connection between the first connecting element 41 and the respective eaves beam. Subsequently, the first connecting element 41 is inserted into the through-hole 27 of the respective center beam 25 until one end of the center beam 25 abuts the respective eaves beam.Finally, a fastening element 5 is inserted from a side face of the individual center beam 25 and firmly connected to the respective first connecting element 41 located therein, thereby fixing the individual center beam 25 and the respective eaves beam. The interaction of the individual positioning pin 413 with the respective positioning hole 221 provides a precise positioning basis for the installation of the respective first connecting element 41 and the respective eaves beam. During the installation process, the correct position of the individual first connecting element 41 on the respective eaves beam can be quickly determined by simply and accurately inserting the respective positioning pin 413 into the respective positioning hole 221, thus preventing installation displacements of the individual connecting element due to manual handling errors.Subsequently, the individual center beam 25 causes the respective first connecting element 41 to project into the respective through-hole 27, ensuring high accuracy and consistency of the connection between the individual center beam 25 and the respective eaves beam. This can significantly improve the precision of the overall structure of the crossbeam frame 2 and simultaneously make the installation process of the center beams 25 and the eaves beams more intuitive and simpler, without requiring significant time and effort for repeated adjustments of the connecting element positions, thus considerably increasing the installation efficiency of the eaves beams and the center beams 25.
[0025] Furthermore, the interaction of the individual positioning pin 413 with the respective positioning hole 221 can limit the relative movement between the respective first connecting element 41 and the respective roof overhang beam and simultaneously distribute the stresses acting on the respective first connecting element 41, thereby reducing the forces acting on the respective fastening element 5 and promoting the reduction of the probability of loosening between the individual first connecting element 41 and the respective roof overhang beam.
[0026] Specifically, as in Fig. As shown in Figure 4, the single first connecting element 41 in the present embodiment comprises two fastening blocks 411 and a connecting block 412, which is connected between the two fastening blocks 411. The connecting block 412 and the fastening blocks 411 are always flush on one side facing the respective roof overhang beam. Furthermore, the thickness of the fastening blocks 411 along the longitudinal direction of the respective center beam 25 is greater than that of the connecting block 412. After the single first connecting element 41 is inserted into the through-hole 27 of the respective center beam 25, the respective fastening element 5 penetrates the center beam 25 and is firmly connected to the fastening block 411.The greater thickness of the fastening blocks 411 gives them higher strength, thus creating a more stable connection base for the fastener 5 and reducing the likelihood of the fastener 5 loosening. Furthermore, both the fastening blocks 411 and the connecting block 412 are each provided with a fastening hole 414, so that the individual first connecting element 41 is firmly connected to the respective eaves beam via three fasteners 5. Increasing the number of fasteners 5 can improve the connection stability between the individual first connecting element 41 and the respective eaves beam. The axial direction of the fastening holes 414 runs parallel to the longitudinal direction of the respective center beam 25, which ensures a more robust and reliable fastening of the fasteners 5 to the respective eaves beam.At the same time, it can be ensured that the individual center beam 25 conceals and hides the fastening elements 5 of the respective first connecting element 41, so that only the fastening elements 5 connected to the respective first connecting element 41 are exposed on the outside of the individual center beam 25, thereby significantly reducing the number of exposed fastening elements 5. The flush design of the fastening blocks 411 with one side of the connecting block 412 ensures that the individual first connecting element 41 can lie close to the side surface of the respective cross beam.This allows the contact area between the individual first connecting element 41 and the respective roof overhang beam to be increased, enabling a more stable and reliable assembly of the individual first connecting element 41 with the respective roof overhang beam and providing a reliable basis for the connection with the respective center beam 25. This significantly increases the connection strength and stability between the individual roof overhang beam and the respective center beam 25.
[0027] In addition, in the present embodiment, the length and width of the individual first connecting element 41 are adapted to the dimensions of the respective through-hole 27. After the individual first connecting element 41 is inserted into the through-hole 27 of the respective central beam 25, the outer wall of the two fastening blocks 411 remains in contact with the inner wall of the through-hole 27. This allows the first connecting element 41 to fit snugly against the side surface of the respective crossbeam, thereby increasing the contact area between the individual first connecting element 41 and the respective roof overhang beam.This makes the assembly of the individual first connecting element 41 with the respective roof overhang beam more stable and reliable, creating a reliable basis for the connection with the respective center beam 25 and thus significantly increasing the connection strength and stability between the individual roof overhang beam and the respective center beam 25.
[0028] To further increase the contact area between the individual central beam 25 and the respective first connecting element 41, two longitudinally oriented reinforcing ribs 271 are provided in the respective through-hole 27 in the present embodiment. These reinforcing ribs 271 divide the through-hole 27 into three insertion recesses 272, each corresponding to one of the two fastening blocks 411 or the connecting block 412. After the individual first connecting element 41 is inserted into the respective through-hole 27, the connecting block 412 is located in the central insertion recess 272, while the two fastening blocks 411 are located in the two lateral insertion recesses 272. The shape and size of the fastening blocks 411 correspond to the shape and size of the insertion recesses 272, so that the outer walls of the fastening blocks 411 remain in contact with the inner walls of the insertion recesses 272.The reinforcing ribs 271 can provide reliable structural support to the respective center beam 25, which contributes to increasing the strength of the center beam 25 and gives it greater load-bearing capacity. Furthermore, the subdivision of the individual through-hole 27 into plug-in recesses 272 by the respective reinforcing ribs 271 increases the contact area between the individual fastening blocks 411 and the respective center beam 25. This creates greater friction between the individual first connecting element 41 and the respective center beam 25, which improves the positioning capability of the individual first connecting element 41 for the respective center beam 25 and reduces the likelihood of loosening between the individual first connecting element 41 and the respective center beam 25.This makes the connection between the individual roof overhang beam and the respective center beam 25 more robust and reliable.
[0029] It is worth noting that the reinforcing ribs 271 extend on both sides to two opposing inner walls, so that the reinforcing ribs 271 can provide support on both sides of the central beam 25. At one end of the individual central beam 25, the reinforcing ribs 271 have a clearance recess to avoid the connecting block 412. Of course, it is also possible that in other embodiments the through-hole 27 is equipped with four reinforcing ribs 271, wherein two reinforcing ribs 271 are arranged on each of two opposing inner walls, and a clearance recess to avoid the connecting block 412 is formed between each pair of opposing reinforcing ribs 271.
[0030] Specifically, as in Fig. 5 and Fig. As shown in Figure 6, in the present embodiment both ends of the individual roof overhang beam are designed as inclined surfaces. The individual second connecting element 42 has an L-shaped structure, with its two plug ends arranged perpendicular to each other. During the assembly process, the two plug ends of the second connecting element 42 are inserted into the through holes 27 of the two roof overhang beams. After two adjacent roof overhang beams are joined, their ends rest against each other, thus concealing the second connecting element 42. The side surface of the individual roof overhang beam facing the respective center beam 25 is firmly connected to the second connecting element 42 via the respective fastening element 5, the fastening element 5 being located on the side of the roof overhang beam facing the respective wall 1.By butting the ends of two adjacent roof overhang beams together after joining them, the second connecting element 42 is successfully concealed. This makes the joints of the roof overhang beams appear smoother and more continuous, without any visible joinery marks or protruding parts, thus improving the overall appearance and aesthetics of the garden shed. Furthermore, by positioning the fastening element 5 on the side of each roof overhang beam facing the respective wall 1, the fastening element 5 is prevented from being directly exposed to the outside. This enhances the integrity of the exterior of the crossbeam frame 2.
[0031] Regarding the specific structure of the individual second connecting element 42, as in Fig. Figure 6 shows that, in the present embodiment, the two plug ends of the second connecting element 42 are designated as the first plug end 421 and the second plug end 422. The structure of the two plug ends is similar to that of the single first connecting element 41. The two plug ends are joined at right angles to each other and form a single-piece structure.
[0032] How specifically in Fig. As shown in Figure 7, the upper ends of the left wall 1 and the right wall 1 in the present embodiment have mounting grooves for receiving the center beams 25. The center beams 25 and the walls 1 are each connected to one another via a third connecting element 43. The individual third connecting element 43 comprises a connecting base 431 and a connecting plate 432. The connecting base 431 has a U-shaped structure. The respective center beam 25 is embedded in the connecting base 431, and the connecting base is attached to both sides of the center beam 25 by means of two fastening elements 5. The connecting plate 432 is attached to the connecting base 431 and extends downwards. The connecting plate 432 is fixed to the respective wall 1 by means of the respective fastening element 5, with the connecting base 431 and the connecting plate 432 being formed as a single unit.
[0033] How specifically in Fig. As shown in Figure 8, in the present embodiment, each roof panel comprises several spaced-apart protrusions. A drainage groove is formed between each pair of adjacent protrusions. The two ends in the direction of the protrusions are the snap end 31 and the fastening end 32, respectively. The fastening end 32 is provided with a locking groove 321 on one side facing the snap end 31 and with a fastening plate 322 on the other side. The opening of the locking groove 321 faces the snap end 31. The fastening plate 322 is firmly connected to the crossbeam frame 2 by the respective fastening element 5. The snap end 31 is provided with a locking strip 311 extending towards the fastening end 32, which is inserted into the locking groove 321 to create the snap connection between two adjacent roof panels.During the installation process, the locking strip 311 of one roof panel simply needs to be aligned with the locking groove 321 of another roof panel. By gently sliding the locking strip 311 into the locking groove 321, a preliminary assembly and positioning is achieved. This quick positioning method significantly simplifies the installation of the roof panels, reduces adjustment time during installation, and increases assembly efficiency. Furthermore, after the locking strip 311 is inserted into the locking groove 321, the joint between two adjacent roof panels appears visually smooth and shows no visible joint marks, giving the joined roof panels improved continuity and integrity.
[0034] How specifically in Fig. As shown in Figure 9, the roof overhang beams in the present embodiment comprise a front side beam 21, a left side beam 22, a right side beam 24, and a rear side beam 23. The left side beam 22 and the right side beam 24 are each attached to both ends of the respective center beam 25 via the respective first connecting element 41. The front side beam 21 and the rear side beam 23 are attached between the ends of the left side beam 22 and the right side beam 24 via the respective second connecting element 42. The upper ends of the left wall 1 and the right wall 1 are inclined, with the height of the left wall 1 and the right wall 1 gradually decreasing towards the rear wall 1, i.e., the height of the front wall 1 is greater than that of the rear wall 1.After the installation of the crossbeam frame 2 on the upper ends of the walls 1, the left sidebeam 22 and the right sidebeam 24 are also arranged at an angle so that the left sidebeam 22 and the right sidebeam 24 run parallel to the upper end faces of the left wall 1 and the right wall 1. The front sidebeam 21 is positioned higher than the rear sidebeam 23. Similarly, the roof 3 is also arranged at an angle after being attached to the crossbeam frame 2. The longitudinal direction of the bulges runs parallel to the left sidebeam 22 and the right sidebeam 24. Rainwater on the roof 3 is channeled through the drainage grooves from the front sidebeam 21 to the rear sidebeam 23.
[0035] As can be seen from Fig.As shown in Figure 10, in the present embodiment, one side of the rear side beam 23 facing the respective wall 1 is provided with a drainage channel 231, which includes a support plate 232 serving to support the respective roof panel. One side of the support plate 232 rests against the respective wall 1, and the other side extends towards the rear side beam 23. After exiting the individual drainage channel, rainwater from the roof 3 drips directly into the drainage channel 231. The drainage channel 231 can quickly collect and drain rainwater running off the roof panels. This prevents the accumulation of rainwater on the roof 3 or the crossbeam frame 2 and reduces erosion of the garden shed due to waterlogging.In addition, the contact of the support plate 232 with the respective wall 1 can reduce the dripping of rainwater through the gap between the rear side beam 23 and the respective wall 1, thereby achieving a better rain protection effect of the crossbeam frame 2.
[0036] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, one side of each roof overhang beam facing away from the respective central beam 25 is provided with an upwardly extending closure plate 26, and four closure plates 26 are arranged around the outer circumference of the roof panels. The closure plates 26 can act as a water barrier and reduce the runoff of rainwater over the outer surfaces of the crossbeams. This allows more rainwater to enter the drainage channel 231, thus improving the drainage effect of the crossbeam frame 2. In addition, the closure plates 26 enclose the roof panels and can also conceal their edges, preventing the edges of the roof panels from being directly visible. This contributes to improving the aesthetics of the garden shed.
