The linkage seat 440 is provided with an insertion hole 442, and the insertion hole 442 is configured to be fitly mounted to an end of the reinforcing beam 450. The reinforcing beam 450 is optimally adopted, and the reinforcing beam design is added to the louver panel 410 to enhance the load-bearing strength of the louver panel 410.
[0034] In combination with the above, an end of the ring beam 210 is fixedly mounted to the upright post 100 via an assembly mechanism 300. Typically, the ends of the ring beams 210 on two adjacent sides are fitly mounted to the upper end of the same upright post 100. The assembly mechanism 300 includes an upright post embedding seat 310 and a ring beam insert 320. The upper end of the upright post 100 is provided with an embedding groove 102, which is configured to be fitly mounted to the upright post embedding seat 310. The upright post embedding seat 310 is generally embedded and mounted in the embedding groove 102, and can be partially exposed. The embedding groove 102 includes two adjacent ring beam fixing walls 103 and fasteners. The fasteners are configured to integrally fix the upright post 100, the upright post embedding seat 310, the ring beam 210 and the ring beam insert 320. Specifically, the fasteners transversely pass through the upright post 100, the upright post embedding seat 310, the ring beam 210 and the ring beam insert 320 to integrally fix them. The fasteners are preferably fastening bolts. The upright post embedding seat 310 and the ring beam insert 320 are used to increase the transverse thickness dimension.

[0035] Preferably, several first fixing holes 101 are formed in the ring beam fixing wall 103, and four or six first fixing holes 101 are preferred and are arranged at intervals up and down on both sides; several second fixing holes 301 are formed in the upright post embedding seat 310, and four or six second fixing holes 301 are preferred and are arranged at intervals up and down on both sides; several third fixing holes 211 are formed in the ring beam 210, and four or six third fixing holes 211 are preferred and are arranged at intervals up and down on both sides; several fourth fixing holes 302 are formed in the ring beam insert 320, and four or six fourth fixing holes 302 are preferred and are arranged at intervals up and down on both sides; and the first fixing holes 101, the second fixing holes 301, the third fixing holes 211 and the fourth fixing holes 302 are arranged correspondingly and form a fixed fit after being passed through by the fasteners.
[0036] The upright post embedding seat 310 includes a mounting embedding groove 313, embedding walls 311 located on two adjacent sides of the mounting embedding groove 313, and an embedding base 312 located at a lower part. The second fixing holes 301 are formed in the embedding walls 311. The embedding base 312 is embedded in an inner cavity of the upright post 100. The mounting embedding groove 313 is configured to fit with the ends of the ring beams 210 on two adjacent sides, which facilitates erection and mounting of the ends of the ring beams 210.
[0037] Preferably, the bottom of the mounting embedding groove 313 is provided with a drainage cavity groove 314, and filter screen holes are formed in the drainage cavity groove 314, which facilitates correspondence with a drainage ditch 214 in the ring beam 210 for drainage. In the specific structure, a drainage ditch 214 is formed in an inner sidewall of a supporting ring beam 213, and an end of the drainage ditch 214 corresponds to the drainage cavity groove 314.
[0038] In combination with the above, the ring beam 210 includes a supporting ring beam 213 and a mounting ring beam 212. A split ring beam structure design is adopted. The mounting ring beam 212 is located at an upper part of the supporting ring beam 213. The supporting ring beam 213 and the mounting ring beam 212 are mounted in a snap-fit manner. Either the supporting ring beam 213 or the mounting ring beam 212 is provided with a snap groove 216, and the other is correspondingly provided with a snap seat 215.

The supporting ring beam insert 321 is configured to be in embedded fit with an end of the supporting ring beam 213, and the mounting ring beam insert 322 is configured to be in embedded fit with an end of the mounting ring beam 212. The supporting ring beam insert 321 and the mounting ring beam insert 322 are directly fixed to the upright post 100 and the upright post embedding seat 310 respectively, such that the split ring beam 210 can form a whole, thereby improving the overall stability of the ring beam 210.
[0040] Preferably, an upright post end cap 110 is further included. The upright post end cap 110 includes a sidewall cap 112 and a top end cap 111. The top end cap 111 covers an upper surface of the upright post embedding seat 310 and is fixedly mounted to the upright post embedding seat 310 via a fixing member. A sidewall of the upright post 100 further includes an end cap snap hole 104. A lower part of the sidewall cap 112 is provided with a snap member 113. The snap member 113 is fitly mounted to the end cap snap hole 104 in a corresponding manner, which facilitates corresponding mounting of the upright post end cap 110 and the upright post 100. The sidewall cap 112 covers outer surfaces of the several first fixing holes 101. The upright post end cap 110 is optimally designed to cover the outer surfaces of the first fixing holes 101, thereby serving as decoration, preventing exposure of the fasteners, and enhancing the overall aesthetic appearance.
[0041] In combination with the above, the louver assembly 400 includes several louver panels 410, linkage seats 440 located at ends of the louver panels 410, linkage bars 420 that connect the linkage seats 440 in the several louver panels 410, and mounting seats 430 in rotational fit with the linkage seats 440. The mounting seats 430 are fixed to an upper surface of the mounting ring beam 212. Several fixing grooves 215 are formed in the mounting ring beam 212. The mounting seats 430 are fixedly mounted in the fixing grooves 215. The mounting seat 430 includes an upper end seat 431 and a lower end seat 432. The upper end seat 431 and the lower end seat 432 are abutted to form a rotating shaft hole 433. The rotating shaft hole 433 is configured to be fitly mounted to a rotating shaft 441 in the linkage seat 440. During overall assembly, the louver assembly 400 may first be fitly mounted to the mounting ring beams 212. The use of the split ring beam structure reduces the overall profile size of the mounting ring beam 212. The mounting ring beam 212 may adopt a segmented structure, which is integrally mounted in a supporting ring beam 213.
[0042] In the present disclosure, the assembly mechanisms are optimally adopted to facilitate assembly of the ring beams and the upright posts, have excellent stability, and are convenient to combine and mount, thereby improving the convenience of mounting; and the ring beam structure is optimized by adopting a split ring beam design, and the use of the mounting ring beams facilitate assembly and mounting with the louver assembly, thereby improving the convenience of mounting with the louver assembly.
