DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0041] An embodiment of the carport according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, when referring to directions such as up, down, left, and right, they refer to the directions as viewed from the front of the illustration.

[0042] The carport 1 shown in Figure 1 is mainly composed of a pair of girders 2, support parts 3 arranged at a predetermined interval between the pair of girders 2 so as to span the girders, and a plurality of solar power generation panels 4 that are supported by the support parts 3 by being arranged between the support parts 3. Each component will be described in detail below. Note that the solar power generation panels 4 are a conventionally well-known component, so a detailed description will be omitted.

[0043] <Explanation of beams> As shown in FIG. 3, the girder 2 is composed of a first girder 20 having a generally rectangular cross section and a second girder 21 having a generally rectangular cross section. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4(a), the lower portion 20a of the first girder 20 and the upper portion 21a of the second girder 21 are attached and fixed with fixtures K1 such as hexagonal bolts and nuts. This connects the first girder 20 and the second girder 21. When connecting multiple first girder members 20, as shown in FIG. 4(a), a first girder joint member 22 having a rectangular cross section is placed on the upper portion 20b of the connecting portion between the first girder members 20, and is attached and fixed to each upper portion 20b of the first girder member 20 using fixtures K2 such as screws. This connects the first girder members 20 together with the first girder joint member 22. As shown in Figure 4(a), cover materials 23 having a vertically elongated rectangular shape in side view are provided on end portion 20c of first girder member 20 and end portion 21c (right end portion in the figure) of second girder member 21, and these cover materials 23 are attached and fixed to first girder member 20 and second girder member 21 by fixing hardware K3 such as screws. The nuts on fixing hardware K1 are "wedge nuts" or the like that have an anti-loosening effect.

[0044] Thus, the girders 2 configured in this manner are arranged to extend in a horizontally elongated rectangular shape in a direction (left-right direction in the drawing) perpendicular to the direction from above the water to below the water (up-down direction in the drawing), as shown in Figure 1. Such girders 2 are arranged in pairs with a gap between them.

[0045] Incidentally, such a girder 2 has a support pillar 5 as shown in FIG. 2 provided at the X portion shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, this support pillar 5 is provided so as to extend vertically in a vertically elongated rectangular shape, with its upper side attached and fixed to the girder 2 and its lower side buried and fixed in the ground G. This allows the girder 2 to be fixed upright. To explain the attachment and fixation to the girder 2 in more detail, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the upper side of the support pillar 5 is attached and fixed to the second girder 21 with fixing hardware K4 such as a hexagonal bolt and nut. In this way, the upper side of the support pillar 5 is attached and fixed to the girder 2. The nuts of the fixing hardware K4 are "wedge nuts" or the like which have an anti-loosening effect.

[0046] Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 2, braces 6 are attached and fixed between the support posts 5 for reinforcement. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the brace 6 is formed in a horizontally elongated rectangular shape in side view. As shown in FIG. 3, the right end 6a located above the water is attached and fixed to the support post 5 by a fixing bracket K5 such as a hexagonal bolt and nut via a brace mounting bracket 7 that is L-shaped in side view. As shown in FIG. 5, the left end 6b located below the water is attached and fixed to the support post 5 by a fixing bracket K6 such as a hexagonal bolt and nut via a brace mounting bracket 7 that is L-shaped in side view. In this way, the braces 6 for reinforcement are attached and fixed between the support posts 5. The nuts of the fixing brackets K5 and K6 are "wedge nuts" or the like that have a loosening prevention effect.

[0047] Thus, the pair of beams 2 are supported by a plurality of columns 5 (six in FIG. 1).

[0048] <Explanation of support parts> As shown in FIGS. 7-8 and 9(b), the support portion 3 is composed of a support piece 30 and a rafter 31. As shown in FIGS. 7-8 and 9(b), the support piece 30 is generally T-shaped in cross section and has a hollow, generally rectangular main body 30a. As shown in FIGS. 7-8 and 9(b), hook-shaped engaging portions 30b protrude upward integrally from both ends of the upper portion 30a1 of the main body 30a. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 7-8 and 9(b), a mounting piece 30c having an elongated rectangular cross section protrudes outward from the side portion 30b1 of the engaging portion 30b. As shown in FIGS. 7-8 and 9(b), the mounting piece 30c has a plurality of uneven grooves 30c1 on the top surface, each about 2 mm in height and width.

[0049] On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 8 and FIG. 9(b), stepped locking portions 30d are integrally provided on both ends of the lower portion 30a1 side of the main body portion 30a so as to protrude downward.

[0050] On the other hand, as shown in Figures 7-8 and 9(b), the rafter 31 is composed of a hollow, generally rectangular first rafter 31a, a hollow, vertically elongated rectangular second rafter 31b integrally formed with the lower portion 31a1 of the first rafter 31a, and a hollow, generally rectangular third rafter 31c integrally formed with the lower portion 31b1 of the second rafter 31b. As shown in Figures 7-8 and 9(b), the first rafter 31a has hook-shaped engaging portions 31a2 integrally formed on both sides of the first rafter 31a and protruding inward. As shown in Figures 7-8 and 9(b), engaging portions 30d are engaged with the engaging portions 31a2 and fixed with fastening hardware K7 (see Figures 7-8), such as screws. This connects the support piece 30 to the rafter 31.

[0051] On the other hand, the second rafter 31b has a pair of arms 31d that are L-shaped in cross section and protrude outward from the side portions 31b2 as shown in Figures 7-8 and 9(b).Furthermore, the third rafter 31c has hook-shaped locking portions 31c1 that protrude inward from both side surfaces as shown in Figures 7-8 and 9(b).

[0052] Thus, in the support section 3 configured as above, the solar panels 4 are placed on the mounting pieces 30c, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 8 and 9(b). Then, as shown in FIG. 10(a), an inter-panel pressing portion 8A is provided between the solar panels 4 arranged in a direction from above the water to below the water. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 9(b), this inter-panel pressing portion 8A is composed of a main body 8Aa having a generally concave cross-section and a pressing piece 8Ab having an elongated rectangular cross-section and integrally protruding outward from the top surface of the main body 8Aa. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 9(b), the pressing piece 8Ab presses down the ends between the solar panels 4 from above. The inter-panel pressing portion 8A is provided from above the water to below the water as shown in FIG. 1.

[0053] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 9(b), the inter-panel holding portion 8A is attached to the support piece 30 of the support unit 3. More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 9(b), a slide fitting 9 is slidably engaged with the locked portion 30b. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 9(b), the main body 8Aa of the inter-panel holding portion 8A is attached and fixed to the slide fitting 9 via a spacer fitting 10 that is U-shaped in cross section, using a fixing fitting K8 such as a hexagonal bolt or nut p. This attaches the inter-panel holding portion 8A to the support piece 30 of the support unit 3. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 9(b), a waterproof gasket 8Ac is affixed to the underside of the holding piece 8Ab of the inter-panel holding portion 8A (the surface that holds the edge between the photovoltaic panels 4). The nuts of the fixing fitting K8 are wedge nuts or similar, which have a locking effect.

[0054] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10(a), an end of the solar panel 4 located on the gable side is provided with an end-side clamping portion 8B. As shown in FIG. 8, this end-side clamping portion 8B is composed of a main body 8Ba that is generally inverted L-shaped in cross section and a clamping piece 8Bb that is generally inverted L-shaped in cross section and is integrally provided on the left end 8Ba1 of the main body 8Ba and protrudes upward. As shown in FIG. 8, this clamping piece 8Bb clamps the end of the solar panel 4 located on the gable side shown in FIG. 1 from above. Note that, as shown in FIG. 10, this end-side clamping portion 8B is provided from the abovewater side to the belowwater side. In this case, an L-shaped end-side joining member 8B1 is attached to the connecting portion between the end-side clamping portions 8B, as shown in FIG. 10(a).

[0055] As shown in Figure 8, this end-side pressing portion 8B is attached to the support piece 30 of the support part 3. To explain in more detail, as shown in Figure 8, a slide fitting 9 is slidably engaged with the locked portion 30b. Then, as shown in Figure 8, the main body 8Ba of the end-side pressing portion 8B is attached and fixed to this slide fitting 9 via a spacer fitting 10 that is U-shaped in cross section, using a fixing fitting K9 such as a hexagonal bolt or nut. In this way, the end-side pressing portion 8B is attached to the support piece 30 of the support part 3. The nut of the fixing fitting K9 is a wedge nut or the like that has an anti-loosening effect.

[0056] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10(a), an above-water holding portion 8C is provided at the end of the solar panel 4 located above the water as shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 11(a), this above-water holding portion 8C is composed of a main body 8Ca that is generally inverted L-shaped in cross section and a holding piece 8Cb that is generally inverted L-shaped in cross section and integrally protrudes upward from the right end 8Ca1 of the main body 8Ca. As a result, as shown in FIG. 11(a), this holding piece 8Cb holds down the end of the solar panel 4 located above the water as shown in FIG. 1 from above. Note that this above-water holding portion 8C is provided from the right end side to the left end side as shown in FIG. 1. In this case, an L-shaped corner joint member 8C1 is attached to the connecting portion between the above-water holding portions 8C, as shown in FIG. 10(a).

[0057] The support part 3 configured as described above can be attached and fixed to the first girder member 20 of the girder member 2, as shown in FIG. 4. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4(a), a rafter bracket 11 is placed on the top surface of the first girder member 20. This rafter bracket 11 is composed of a base part 11a having a horizontally elongated rectangular shape in cross section and a locking part 11b having a stepped cross section and integrally extending upward from the top surface of the base part 11a. As shown in FIG. 4(a), this locking part 11b is locked to a locking part 31c1 provided on the third rafter 31c, and is attached and fixed with a fixing fixture K10 such as a screw. This connects and fixes the rafter 31 (support part 3) to the rafter bracket 11.

[0058] On the other hand, as shown in Figure 4(b), a slide fitting 12 is slidably fitted into the upper part 20d of the first girder 20. The base part 11a of the rafter bracket 11 is attached and fixed to this slide fitting 12 by a fixing fitting K11 such as a hexagonal bolt or nut. This allows the support part 3 to be attached and fixed to the first girder 20. The nuts on the fixing fitting K11 are "wedge nuts" or the like, which have an anti-loosening effect.

[0059] Thus, by using the slide fittings 12 to attach and fix the support parts 3 to the first girder 20 in this way, it is possible to change the attachment position of the support parts 3 by sliding the slide fittings 12. This makes it possible to change the spacing between the support parts 3, which are arranged at a predetermined interval so as to span between a pair of girder members 2 as shown in Figure 1, and therefore makes it possible to change the spacing between the support parts 3 to match the size of the solar power generation panels 4.

[0060] Therefore, with a configuration like the carport 1 described above, support parts 3 can be arranged horizontally between a pair of girders 2 at a predetermined interval, and multiple solar panels 4 can be arranged between the support parts 3. Furthermore, because the ends of the solar panels 4 can be held down from above by the inter-panel holding parts 8A, the gable-side holding parts 8B, and the above-water holding parts 8C, there is no need to seal roof joints or the like during construction, as was done in the past. As a result, the present invention can reduce the load on the solar panels 4.

[0061] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the solar power generation panel 4 is used directly as the roofing material, so that the exterior can have a neat and sharp impression.

[0062] <Explanation of water stoppage> The carport 1 constructed as described above has a waterproof structure that makes it difficult for rain to leak in. Therefore, this waterproof structure will be described in detail below.

[0063] <Explanation of the first water stop> First, rainwater that falls on the solar power generation panel 4 flows from above the water to below the water (vertical direction in the figure) as shown in FIG. 1. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 1, a watertight gasket 13 is provided (horizontal direction in the figure) between the solar power generation panel 4 located above the water (upper side in the figure) and the solar power generation panel 4 located below the water (lower side in the figure). To explain this in more detail, as shown in FIG. 12(b), a watertight gasket 13 that is rectangular in cross section is provided between the solar power generation panel 4 located above the water (right side in the figure) and the solar power generation panel 4 located below the water (left side in the figure) so as to be flush with the top surface of the solar power generation panel 4. As a result, rainwater that flows below the water from above the water (vertical direction in the figure) as shown in FIG. 1 is stopped by the watertight gasket 13, thereby reducing the occurrence of rain leaks from the carport 1.

[0064] When providing such a waterproof gasket 13, it is preferable to first attach the waterproof gasket 13 to the end (the right end in the illustration) of the solar panel 4 located below the water (the left side in the illustration) as shown in FIG. 12(a), and then attach the waterproof gasket 13 to the end (the left end in the illustration) of the solar panel 4 located above the water (the right side in the illustration). This is because, in this way, the rainwater that falls can be reliably caught by the rain catch metal fitting 14 located below the waterproof gasket 13 shown in FIG. 12. That is, because rainwater flows from above the water in FIG. 1 to below the water (the up-down direction in the illustration), it is highly likely to fall downward along the solar panel 4 located above the water (the upper side in the illustration). Therefore, if the waterproof gasket 13 is attached later to the end (the left end in the illustration) of the solar panel 4 located above the water (the right side in the illustration), the falling rainwater can be reliably caught by the rain catch metal fitting 14, even if the water catch metal fitting 14 is unable to stop the water.

[0065] 12, the metal rain catch 14 is composed of a main body 14a that is generally concave in cross section and hook-shaped engagement portions 14b that protrude upward from both sides of the main body 14a. A buffer member 15 that is I-shaped in cross section and made of resin or the like is engaged with the engagement portions 14b.

[0066] 12, such a rain fitting 14 is fitted between the support piece 30 located on the above-water side (right side in the figure) and the support piece 30 located on the below-water side (left side in the figure), and is located below the waterstop gasket 13. And, like the waterstop gasket 13, this rain fitting 14 is also located (in the left-right direction in the figure) between the solar power generation panel 4 located on the above-water side (upper side in the figure) and the solar power generation panel 4 located on the below-water side (lower side in the figure).

[0067] The buffer member 15 functions as a buffer when fitted between the support piece 30 located above the water (the right side in the figure) and the support piece 30 located below the water (the left side in the figure). Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12, the upper surface 15a of the buffer member 15 is positioned above the upper surface of the support piece 30c, and multiple grooves 15a1 are provided. This allows rainwater that flows into the buffer member 15 to flow down the upper surface of the support piece 30c through the multiple grooves 15a1. Therefore, the buffer member 15 can also function as a drainer.

[0068] On the other hand, rainwater that falls on the solar panels 4 flows from above the water surface to below the water surface (vertical direction in the figure) in FIG. 1, and therefore flows toward the support portion 3, i.e., within the main body 8Aa of the inter-panel pressing portion 8A shown in FIGS. 7 to 8 and 9(b), from above the water surface to below the water surface (vertical direction in the figure) in FIG. 1. In this case, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 9(b), a waterproof gasket 8Ac is attached to the underside of the pressing piece 8Ab of the inter-panel pressing portion 8A (the surface that presses the end portion between the solar panels 4). This waterproof gasket 8Ac prevents rainwater from flowing inside the main body 8Aa of the inter-panel pressing portion 8A and from attempting to fall downward along the outer peripheral surface of the inter-panel pressing portion 8A from the end portion of the solar panels 4. This reduces the risk of rainwater leaking from the carport 1.

[0069] However, rainwater that cannot be stopped by the watertight gasket 8Ac will continue to flow down the solar panel 4. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7-8 and 9(b), a plurality of uneven grooves 30c1 are provided on the upper surface of the support piece 30c on which the solar panel 4 is placed. As a result, rainwater that falls downward falls into the uneven grooves 30c1, and as shown in FIG. 9(a), the rainwater flows from the above-water side to the below-water side through the grooves 30c1. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12(b), the rain catch metal fitting 14 is fitted between the support piece 30 located above the water (right side in the figure) and the support piece 30 located below the water (left side in the figure). Therefore, rainwater that flows from the above-water side to the below-water side through the grooves 30c1 falls into the rain catch metal fitting 14. This reduces the risk of rain leaks from the carport 1.

[0070] <Explanation of the second water stop> Rainwater that falls on the rain receiving fitting 14 flows in the left-right direction as shown in FIG. 6. That is, it flows toward the area where the rain receiving fitting 14 and the support part 3 intersect. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, rainwater that falls on the rain receiving fitting 14 flows in the direction indicated by arrow Y1 and flows into the main body part 30a of the support piece 30. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, rainwater that falls on the rain receiving fitting 14 flows in the direction indicated by arrow Y2 and flows into the main body part 30a of the support piece 30. In order to prevent rainwater that flows into the gable side (the right side as shown in FIG. 6) through the rain receiving fitting 14 from leaking out of the carport 1, a water stop cap 14A that is convex in plan view is fitted into the end of the gable side of the rain receiving fitting 14, as shown in FIG. 6.

[0071] As shown in Fig. 12(b), rainwater that flows into the main body 30a of the support piece 30 flows into the first rafter 31a shown in Figs. 7 and 8 because a gap S1 is formed between the support piece 30 located above the water (the right side in the figure) and the support piece 30 located below the water (the left side in the figure). The rainwater that flows into the first rafter 31a then flows to the below the water side as shown in Fig. 1. The rainwater that does not flow into the first rafter 31a passes through the main body 30a and flows to the below the water side as shown in Fig. 1.

[0072] However, simply receiving rainwater within the first rafter 31a can cause overflow and lead to leakage from the carport 1. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, a communication hole 32 is provided vertically through the support portion 3 at the intersection of the rain receiving bracket 14 and the support portion 3. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a communication hole 32 having a diameter of approximately 20 mm is provided in the center of the lower portion 31a1 of the first rafter 31a. This allows the space within the first rafter 31a to communicate with the space within the second rafter 31b through the communication hole 32. Therefore, rainwater flowing into the first rafter 31a flows through the communication hole 32 into the second rafter 31b. The rainwater flowing into the second rafter 31b then flows downstream as shown in FIG. 1. This configuration reduces overflow and leakage from the carport 1. Rainwater that does not flow into the second rafter 31b passes through the first rafter 31a and flows to the downstream side shown in FIG.

[0073] As described above, rainwater that falls on the photovoltaic panels 4 flows through the main body 8Aa of the inter-panel retaining portion 8A shown in FIGS. 7 to 8 and 9(b) from above the water to below the water (vertical direction in the figure) as shown in FIG. 1. At this time, there is a possibility that the rainwater may fall into the main body 30a through the small gaps between the fixing bracket K8 shown in FIGS. 7 and 9(b) and the fixing bracket K9 shown in FIG. 8. In this case, as described above, the rainwater that falls into the main body 30a will either flow into the first rafter 31a shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 or flow below the water as shown in FIG. 1. Then, as described above, the rainwater that flows into the first rafter 31a will either flow into the second rafter 31b shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 or flow below the water as shown in FIG. 1.

[0074] <Explanation of drainage> 1, the rainwater that flows down the water (vertical direction in the figure) along the solar panel 4, the rainwater that flows down the water through the main body 30a, the rainwater that flows down the water through the first rafter 31a, and the rainwater that flows down the water through the second rafter 31b, all flow toward the gable 16 shown in Figures 2, 5, 10(b), and 13. Specifically, as shown in Figure 10(b), the gable 16 is mainly composed of a substantially horizontally elongated rectangular main body 16a that extends in the left-right direction (from the left gable side to the right gable side in Figure 1), an attachment part 16b that extends linearly inward from the main body 16a (to the right in Figure 13), and a substantially horizontally elongated rectangular waterstop 16c that is integrally provided and protrudes upward from the end (the right end in Figure 13) of the attachment part 16b. As shown in Figures 10(b) and 13, the mounting portion 16b is attached to the support piece 30 of the support part 3 using a fixing bracket K12 such as a hexagonal bolt or nut. Specifically, the slide bracket 17 shown in Figure 13 is slidably engaged with the locked portion 30b shown in Figures 7 and 9(b). The mounting portion 16b is attached and fixed to the slide bracket 17 using the fixing bracket K12. As a result, the mounting portion 16b is attached to the support piece 30 of the support part 3 using the fixing bracket K12 such as a hexagonal bolt or nut, as shown in Figures 10(b) and 13. The nuts of the fixing bracket K12 are "wedge nuts" or the like, which have an anti-loosening effect.

[0075] Therefore, in this way, a gable 16 is provided at the end of the solar panel 4 located underwater as shown in Fig. 1. Then, as shown in Fig. 10(b), a trapezoidal cover member 16d is attached and fixed to both ends of the main body 16a of this gable 16 (only the right end is shown in the figure) using fixing hardware K13 such as screws. Then, as shown in Fig. 10(b), a trapezoidal support member 16e is attached and fixed to this cover member 16d using fixing hardware K14 such as screws as shown in Fig. 13. Furthermore, a gutter 18A made of aluminum or the like is attached and fixed to this support member 16e. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, the gutter 18A is comprised of a main body 18Aa having a generally concave cross-section, a left locking piece 18Ab integrally projecting outward from the upper end of the left side of the main body 18Aa, and a right locking piece 18Ac integrally projecting outward from the upper end of the right side of the main body 18Aa. As shown in FIG. 13, the main body 18Aa is attached to the support member 16e with a fastening member K15 such as a screw, and the left locking piece 18Ab is fastened to a locking piece 16a1 integrally projecting inward (to the right in the figure) from the main body 16a. Furthermore, the right locking piece 18Ac is attached and fixed to the underside of the third rafter 31c of the support member 3 with a fastening member K16 such as a screw. As a result, the gutter 18A is provided on the lower side of the gable 16, as shown in FIG. 13.

[0076] Thus, if a gable 16 is provided at the end of the solar panel 4 located underwater as shown in FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 13, rainwater that flows down the solar panel 4 flows toward the gable 16 as indicated by arrow Y3, rainwater that flows down through the main body 30a flows toward the gable 16 as indicated by arrow Y3, rainwater that flows down through the first rafter 31a flows toward the gable 16 as indicated by arrow Y3, and rainwater that flows down through the second rafter 31b flows toward the gable 16 as indicated by arrow Y3. As a result, by providing a gutter 18A below the gable 16, the rainwater that flows toward the gable 16 flows down into the gutter 18A. Then, the rainwater that flows down into the gutter 18A flows into a downspout 18B provided in the gutter 18A as shown in FIG. 13 and is drained to the ground G as shown in FIG. 2. Therefore, by doing this, rainwater that has flowed down can be properly drained, thereby reducing the occurrence of rain leaks from the carport 1.

[0077] Incidentally, the waterstop 16c provided on the gable 16 is set to be higher than the solar power generation panels 4 located below the water, as shown in Figure 13. This is to prevent a situation in which rainwater that flows below the water along the solar power generation panels 4 will overflow the gable 16 and be unable to be properly drained. For this reason, the waterstop 16c provided on the gable 16 is set to be higher than the solar power generation panels 4 located below the water, as shown in Figure 13. Therefore, by doing this, rainwater that flows below the water along the solar power generation panels 4 can be reliably drained down into the gutter 18A.

[0078] 13, the main body 16a is provided with a guide plate 16f, rectangular in cross section, which protrudes upward from the engaging piece 16a1 and slopes downward inward (to the right in the figure). As shown in FIG. 13, the lower end 16f1 of this guide plate 16f is located within the gutter 18A, so that rainwater flowing down toward the gable 16 can be guided to flow reliably into the gutter 18A. This prevents rainwater flowing down toward the gable 16 from flowing down into the gutter 18A, thereby reducing the risk of rain leaking from the carport 1.

[0079] Thus, as explained above, the carport 1 has a waterproof structure that makes it difficult for rain to leak.

[0080] <Explanation about the wiring cables for solar panels> Incidentally, a conventionally known solar power generation panel 4 includes a wiring cable 4a (see FIGS. 11(b) and 14(b)) that electrically connects the solar power generation panels 4 to each other. Therefore, if no measures are taken for this wiring cable 4a (see FIGS. 11(b) and 14(b)), the wiring cable 4a (see FIGS. 11(b) and 14(b)) will hang down from the carport 1, which will result in a very poor design. Therefore, in this embodiment, the following configuration is used to improve the design.

[0081] As shown in Figures 7 to 8 and 9(b), the second rafter 31b of the support part 3 is provided with an arm 31d, and the distribution cable 4a can be placed on this arm 31d, as shown in Figures 4(a) and 11(a). This reduces the possibility of the distribution cable 4a hanging down from the carport 1, thereby improving the design.

[0082] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 14(a), the main body 16a of the gable 16 has a pair of rectangular-shaped interlocking pieces 16a2 that protrude inward (toward the right in the figure) above the guide plate 16f. As shown in FIG. 14(a), the wiring cable 4a can be passed through the interlocking pieces 16a2. This reduces the risk of the wiring cable 4a hanging down from the gable 16, thereby improving the design. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 14(a), a first cable cover member 19A, which is U-shaped in cross section, can be engaged with the pair of interlocking pieces 16a2. As shown in FIG. 14(b), the wiring cable 4a passed through the interlocking pieces 16a2 is concealed by the first cable cover member 19A, further improving the design.

[0083] Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 11(b), the main body 8Ca has a pair of rectangular locking pieces 8Ca2 integrally protruding inward (toward the left in the figure). As shown in FIG. 11(b), the wiring cable 4a can be passed through the locking pieces 8Ca2. This reduces the possibility of the wiring cable 4a hanging down from the water pressure portion 8C, thereby improving the design. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11(b), the pair of locking pieces 8Ca2 can be locked with a second cable cover member 19B. As shown in FIG. 11, the wiring cable 4a passed through the locking pieces 8Ca2 is concealed by the second cable cover member 19B, further improving the design.

[0084] Thus, by being provided with the configuration described above, the carport 1 in this embodiment can improve its design.

[0085] <Description of Modifications> The carport 1 illustrated in this embodiment is merely an example, and various modifications and changes are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention as described in the claims. For example, in this embodiment, only one pair of beams 2 is illustrated, but of course, more than one pair may be used.

[0086] Although not illustrated in this embodiment, the carport 1 described above can also be expanded by connecting the carports 1 side by side.

[0087] Although not illustrated in this embodiment, the carports 1 can be connected in the depth direction by connecting the above-described support parts 3. In this case, it is preferable to apply a sealant to the second rafters 31b of the support parts 3 to prevent rain from leaking through the connection parts. [Explanation of symbols]
