[0084] The installation can be achieved by covering or wrapping the inner surface of one end of the crossbeam 111 with the outer surface of the connecting part (such as the first connecting part 122 or the second connecting part 123), which not only makes disassembly and assembly more convenient, but also covers the appearance of the first connecting part 122 or the second connecting part 123 after installation, making the crossbeam connection of the canopy structure more aesthetically pleasing.

[0085] Detachable connections include those made by locking nuts, snaps and hooks, the engagement of protrusions and grooves, or the engagement of pins and pin holes.

[0086] The base portion 121 forms the main body of the assembly structure 12.

[0087] In some embodiments, the base portion 121 is detachably connected to the column 10. The column 10 can be sleeved on the lower end of the base portion 121. The sleeved and detachable connection of the column 10 improves installation flexibility and facilitates disassembly and maintenance.

[0088] The base portion 121, the first connecting portion 122, and the second connecting portion 123 can be an integral structure or connected as a single component. The first connecting portion 122 and the second connecting portion 123 are located on different sides of the base portion 121.

[0096] The first mating member 125 mates with the first mating portion 112. In some embodiments, one of the first mating member 125 and the first mating portion 112 may be a hook, and the other may be a snap-fit. In some embodiments, one of the first mating member 125 and the first mating portion 112 may be a pin, and the other may be a pin hole. In some embodiments, one of the first mating member 125 and the first mating portion 112 may be a protrusion structure, and the other may be a groove structure. In some embodiments, the first mating member 125 is disposed at one end of the first connecting portion 122 and the second connecting portion 123, and the first mating portion 112 is disposed at at least one end of the crossbeam 111.

[0097] The second mating member 126 mates with the second mating part 101. The structure of the second mating member 126 mates with the second mating part 101 is similar to that of the first mating member 125 mates with the first mating part 112. In some embodiments, the second mating member 126 is disposed at the lower end of the base part 121, and the second mating part 101 is disposed at the top end of the column 10.

[0098] In some embodiments of this specification, by providing mating parts and fitting components, the relative displacement of the crossbeam 111, the column 10, and the assembly structure 12 can be limited, thus serving a limiting function. Simultaneously, this improves installation accuracy during the installation process.

[0099] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the shed structure further includes a base plate 13, and the columns 10 are detachably installed on the base plate 13. A connector 131 is provided on the base plate 13, and a third mating part 1311 is provided on the connector 131. A third mating part 102 that mates with the third mating part 1311 is provided at the bottom end of the column 10.

[0100] The connector 131 supports the third mating member 1311. The third mating member 1311 is disposed on the outer surface of the connector 131. In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3-4, the third mating member 1311 can be a plate. The number of plates is the same as the number of third mating members 1311. In some embodiments, the third mating member 1311 can be a tubular structure, such as a rectangular tube, and the third mating member 1311 is disposed on the surface of the rectangular tube.

[0101] The third mating part 1311 mates with the third mating part 102. The structure of the mating of the third mating part 1311 and the third mating part 102 is similar to that of the first mating part 125 and the first mating part 112, as described in the relevant description above.

[0102] In some embodiments, a groove is provided at the center of the base plate 13, and the connector 131 is disposed in the groove. The groove can be a cross groove or a rectangular groove, etc.

[0103] In some embodiments of this specification, by providing a base plate 13, a connector 131, a third mating part 1311, and a third mating part 102, the column 10 and the base plate 13 can be detachably installed, improving the stability and convenience of the column 10 installation, thereby improving the stability of the shed structure.

[0104] In some embodiments, one of the first mating member 125 and the first mating portion 112 includes an elastic buckle, and the other of the first mating member 125 and the first mating portion 112 includes a buckle hole. In some embodiments, one of the second mating member 126 and the second mating portion 101 includes an elastic buckle, and the other of the second mating member 126 and the second mating portion 101 includes a buckle hole. In some embodiments, one of the third mating member 1311 and the third mating portion 102 includes an elastic buckle, and the other of the third mating member 1311 and the third mating portion 102 includes a buckle hole. In some embodiments, the elastic buckle includes a mounting groove a, a spring piece b, and a locking block c, wherein the spring piece b is fixed in the mounting groove a, and the locking block c is disposed on the spring piece b and can be engaged in the buckle hole.

[0105] In some embodiments, the elastic buckle may also adopt other structures, such as a spring at the bottom of the buckle block, which achieves engagement and release through the elastic deformation of the spring; or a buckle structure with an elastic arm, which deforms when pressed, and returns to its original shape after being inserted into the buckle hole, thus achieving a stable connection.

[0106] The spring clip can undergo elastic deformation under external force. During installation, the clip is pressed into the buckle hole under external force, and the elastic clip and buckle hole are relatively displaced until the elastic clip and buckle hole coincide. The clip of the elastic clip enters the buckle hole under the rebound of the spring clip and is fixed by the buckle hole, thereby achieving the snap-fit ​​fixation.

[0107] For example, as shown in Figures 3-4, the first mating member 125, the second mating member 126 and the third mating member 1311 include elastic buckles, and the first mating part 112, the second mating part 101 and the third mating part 102 include buckle holes.

[0108] The design of the elastic buckle allows for a certain degree of elastic deformation, enabling it to adapt to buckle holes of different sizes or shapes. The spring and locking mechanism of the elastic buckle eliminates the need for additional tools during the fastening process; simply pressing or pulling is sufficient to connect or disconnect, improving ease of operation and reducing assembly time.

Figure 6 is a first schematic diagram of the crossbeam installation according to some embodiments of this specification. Figure 7 is a second schematic diagram of the crossbeam installation according to some embodiments of this specification. Figure 8 is a third schematic diagram of the crossbeam installation according to some embodiments of this specification. Figure 9 is a fourth schematic diagram of the crossbeam installation according to some embodiments of this specification.

[0110] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5-9, the assembly structure 12 further includes a hook 127. The hook 127 includes a first side 1271 and a second side 1272 connected to the first side 1271. The end of the first side 1271 is provided with a slot 1273. The first side 1271 is inserted into the bottom wall of the beam body of the crossbeam 111 through the slot 1273. The base part 121 is provided with a water outlet groove 103, and the second side 1272 is inserted into the water outlet groove 103.

[0111] The water outlet 103 can be a through groove at the top of the base 121, used to guide rainwater into the interior of the column 10 and support the first side 1271 of the hanging component 127.

[0112] The hook 127 is a structural component used to assist in the installation of the crossbeam. The hook 127 can be L-shaped or hook-shaped. In some embodiments, the thickness of the second side 1272 is greater than the thickness of the first side 1271, thereby facilitating the left and right movement of the first side 1271 within the water outlet 103. At the same time, it enhances the structural strength of the second side 1272 and ensures that the hook 127 is not easily deformed or broken when bearing the weight of the crossbeam 111, thus improving the stability and safety of the installation.

[0113] The socket groove 1273 is provided through the second side 1272 in the width direction (for example, the D1 direction shown in FIG5). The thickness of the socket groove 1273 is the same as the thickness of the bottom wall of the beam body of the crossbeam 111.

[0114] In some embodiments, the crossbeams 111 can be installed in the order shown in Figures 6-9. As shown in Figure 6, when installing the crossbeams 111, a hook 127 is inserted into the first end of the crossbeam 111. The first end of the crossbeam 111 with the hook 127 is lifted and hooked into the water outlet 103. At this time, the crossbeam 111 is in an inclined state. The second end of the crossbeam 111 without the hook 127 is then lifted above the column 10. As shown in Figure 7, the second end of the crossbeam 111 is moved to the target position and fixed (e.g., assembled with the assembly structure 12 or fixed to the wall). As shown in Figure 8, the hook 127 at the first end of the crossbeam 111 is removed, and the first end of the crossbeam 111 is assembled with the assembly structure 12. The installed crossbeam 111 is shown in Figure 9. The above operations are repeated until all crossbeams are installed.

[0115] In some embodiments of this specification, a hook component that can be disassembled is used to fix one end of the structure in conjunction with the water outlet trough, enabling single-person operation and improving the ease of assembly of the shed structure and the overall assembly efficiency.

[0116] Figure 10A is a top view of a canopy structure according to some embodiments of this specification. Figure 10B is a top view of a canopy structure according to other embodiments of this specification.

[0117] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 10A and 10B, the support frame 11 includes multiple edge beams 1111 and intermediate beams 1112; the multiple edge beams 1111 include a first side beam 1111-1, a second side beam 1111-2, a first end beam 1111-3, and a second end beam 1111-4; the two ends of the first side beam 1111-1 are respectively connected to the intermediate beam 1112 and the first end beam 1111-3; the two ends of the second side beam 1111-2 are respectively connected to the intermediate beam 1112 and the second end beam 1111-4.

[0118] In some embodiments, the first side beam 1111-1 and the second side beam 1111-2 are located on the same side or different sides of the support frame 11 along its length direction (the direction of the long side of the support frame, as shown by the X-axis in FIG10A). In some embodiments, the first end beam 1111-3 and the second end beam 1111-4 are located on opposite sides of the support frame 11 along its width direction (the direction of the short side of the support frame, as shown by the Y-axis in FIG10A).

[0119] Edge beams 1111 are located at the edges (e.g., around the perimeter) of the support frame 11. In some embodiments, multiple edge beams 1111 can be joined to form the outer edge of the support frame 11. In some embodiments, the edge beams 1111 are hollow structures, with both ends connected to the columns 10 (e.g., the top of the columns 10) and fixed by a plug-in connection. In some embodiments, the edge beams 1111 are provided with water guide channels to guide rainwater into the columns 10. In some embodiments, the edge beams 1111 can be made of metal, composite materials, etc., without limitation.

[0120] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG10A, the edge crossbeam 1111 further includes a third side crossbeam 1111-5 and a fourth side crossbeam 1111-6. The third side crossbeam 1111-5 and the fourth side crossbeam 1111-6 are located on the same side of the support frame 11 and are respectively disposed opposite to the first side crossbeam 1111-1 and the second side crossbeam 1111-2. The two ends of the third side crossbeam 1111-5 are respectively connected to the intermediate crossbeam 1112 and the first end crossbeam; the two ends of the fourth side crossbeam 1111-6 are respectively connected to the intermediate crossbeam 1112 and the second end crossbeam 1111-4.

[0121] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG10B, the edge beam 1111 includes a first side beam 1111-1, a second side beam 1111-2, a first end beam 1111-3, and a second end beam 1111-4. One end of the middle beam 1112, the first end beam 1111-3, and the second end beam 1111-4 is connected to the first side beam 1111-1 and the second side beam 1111-2, and the other end is connected to the wall 200.

[0122] The intermediate crossbeam 1112 is located in the middle of the canopy structure and supports the top components of the canopy structure. In some embodiments, the intermediate crossbeam 1112 is parallel to the first end crossbeams 1111-3 and the second end crossbeams 1111-4. In some embodiments, the intermediate crossbeam 1112 may not be parallel to the first end crossbeams 1111-3 and the second end crossbeams 1111-4. The intermediate crossbeam 1112 is detachably connected to the edge crossbeams 1111. For example, the intermediate crossbeam 1112 and the edge crossbeams 1111 are detachably connected by fasteners. The fasteners may be lock nuts, clips, pins, etc. Fastening holes for mate with the fasteners are provided on the intermediate crossbeam 1112 and the edge crossbeams 1111.

[0123] In some embodiments, the intermediate crossbeam 1112 is positioned at a height higher than the first end crossbeam 1111-3, and the intermediate crossbeam 1112 is positioned at a height higher than the second end crossbeam 1111-4.

[0124] The installation height of the intermediate crossbeam 1112 refers to its height above the preset horizontal plane after installation. The installation height of the first end crossbeam 1111-3 refers to its height above the preset horizontal plane after installation. The installation height of the second end crossbeam 1111-4 refers to its height above the preset horizontal plane after installation. It should be noted that the preset horizontal plane can be sea level or the horizontal plane where the bottom of the column 10 is located, etc.

[0125] By setting a higher middle crossbeam 1112, rainwater can flow out from the middle crossbeam 1112 to both sides, making the drainage effect of the shed structure better.

[0126] Figure 11 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the intermediate crossbeam according to some embodiments of this specification.

[0127] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG11, the height of the intermediate crossbeam 1112 is adjustable. The intermediate crossbeam 1112 includes a first layer crossbeam 1112-1 and a second layer crossbeam 1112-2. One of the first layer crossbeam 1112-1 and the second layer crossbeam 1112-2 is fixedly connected to both the first side crossbeam 1111-1 and the second side crossbeam 1111-2. The first layer crossbeam 1112-1 and the second layer crossbeam 1112-2 are spaced apart along the length of the column 10. The first layer crossbeam 1112-1 and the second layer crossbeam 1112-2 are connected by a height adjustment mechanism 14, which adjusts the distance between the first layer crossbeam 1112-1 and the second layer crossbeam 1112-2 along the length of the column 10.

[0128] The first layer of crossbeams 1112-1 and the second layer of crossbeams 1112-2 are arranged along the length of the column 10. For example, as shown in Figure 11, the first layer of crossbeams 1112-1 is located above the second layer of crossbeams 1112-2.

[0129] In some embodiments, the first layer crossbeam 1112-1 is fixedly connected to both the first side crossbeam 1111-1 and the second side crossbeam 1111-2. In some embodiments, the second layer crossbeam 1112-2 is fixedly connected to both the first side crossbeam 1111-1 and the second side crossbeam 1111-2. The first layer crossbeam 1112-1 or the second layer crossbeam 1112-2 can be fixedly connected to the first side crossbeam 1111-1 and the second side crossbeam 1111-2 via fasteners 17.

[0130] Figure 12 is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the intermediate crossbeam and the side crossbeam according to some embodiments of this specification. For example, as shown in Figure 12, the first layer crossbeam 1112-1 is fixedly connected to the first side crossbeam 1111-1 via a fastener 17. The side crossbeam has a hollow structure; one end of the fastener 17 is inserted into the side crossbeam and locked (e.g., by a lock nut), and the other end is connected to and locked (e.g., by a lock nut) with the side crossbeam.

[0131] The height adjustment mechanism 14 is used to adjust the setting height of the intermediate crossbeam 1112.

[0132] Figure 13 is a schematic diagram of the height adjustment mechanism according to some embodiments of this specification.

[0133] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG13, the height adjustment mechanism 14 includes a drive mechanism 141 and a transmission mechanism 142, wherein the transmission mechanism 142 is connected to the drive mechanism 141, the first layer crossbeam 1112-1 and the second layer crossbeam 1112-2.

[0134] The drive mechanism 141 is used to drive the transmission mechanism to move, causing the distance between the first layer crossbeam 1112-1 and the second layer crossbeam 1112-2 along the length of the column to change. The drive mechanism 141 can be a drive motor, hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, etc.

[0135] The transmission mechanism 142 is used to transmit power to the drive mechanism 141. In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism may also be a gear, chain, or screw, etc.

[0136] In some embodiments of this specification, the height adjustment of the intermediate crossbeam 1112 can be effectively controlled through the cooperation of the drive mechanism 141 and the transmission mechanism 142. The design of the transmission mechanism 142 makes the adjustment process more precise and efficient, and easier to operate.

[0137] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG13, the transmission mechanism 142 includes a lead screw 1421, a nut 1422, a sleeve 1423, and a support member 1424. The lead screw 1421 is connected to the drive mechanism 141. The support member 1424 includes a first support rod, a second support rod, a third support rod, and a fourth support rod. The two ends of the first support rod are respectively hinged to the first layer crossbeam 1112-1 and the nut 1422; the two ends of the second support rod are respectively hinged to the first layer crossbeam 1112-1 and the sleeve 1423; the two ends of the third support rod are respectively hinged to the second layer crossbeam 1112-2 and the nut 1422; and the two ends of the fourth support rod are respectively hinged to the second layer crossbeam 1112-2 and the sleeve 1423. Nut 1422 and sleeve 1423 are both mounted on lead screw 1421, and sleeve is rotatably connected to lead screw; drive mechanism 141 drives lead screw 141 to rotate, which can cause nut 1422 and sleeve 1423 to move closer or further away from each other, so that the distance between the first layer crossbeam 1112-1 and the second layer crossbeam 1112-2 along the length direction of column 10 increases or decreases.

[0138] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the sleeve 1423 is provided with a thread that mates with the lead screw 1421. In some embodiments, the nut 1422 and the sleeve 1423 have opposite directions of rotation. When the drive mechanism 141 drives the lead screw 1421 to rotate in the first direction, the lead screw 1421 drives the nut 1422 and the sleeve 1423 to rotate and move closer together, thereby driving the ends of the first support rod and the second support rod near the lead screw to move closer together, and the ends of the third support rod and the fourth support rod near the lead screw 1421 to move closer together. At this time, the support member 1424 extends, the distance between the first layer crossbeam 1112-1 and the second layer crossbeam 1112-2 along the length direction of the column 10 increases, and the middle crossbeam 1112 moves to the first position along the length direction of the column 110 (such as the vertical direction). At this time, the first side crossbeam 1111-1 and the second side crossbeam 1111-2 are inclined to the end crossbeams on both sides, and rainwater can flow from the middle of the canopy structure to both sides. The first position is the position where the middle crossbeam 1112 is higher than the end crossbeams.

[0139] In some embodiments, when the drive mechanism 141 drives the lead screw 1421 to rotate in the second direction, the lead screw 1421 causes the nut 1422 and sleeve 1423 to rotate and move away from each other, thereby causing the ends of the first and second support rods near the lead screw to move away from each other, and the ends of the third and fourth support rods near the lead screw to move away from each other. The second direction is opposite to the first direction. At this time, the support member 1424 retracts, and the middle crossbeam 1112 moves to the second position along the length direction of the column (such as the vertical direction). At this time, the first side crossbeams 1111-1 and the second side crossbeams 1111-2 are inclined towards the middle crossbeam 1112, and rainwater can converge from both sides of the canopy structure to the middle, and rainwater collection is achieved in the middle of the canopy structure. The second position is the position where the middle crossbeam 1112 is lower than the end crossbeams.

[0140] The design of the lead screw 1421, nut 1422, sleeve 1423, and support 1424 makes the height adjustment process smoother and more precise. The connection between the lead screw 1421 and the support 1424 ensures the stability and uniform load-bearing capacity of the structure during adjustment. At the same time, the extensibility of the support 1424 along the column 10 enhances the adaptability of the overall structure, making the adjustment range wider and further improving the flexibility and operability of the canopy structure.

[0141] In some embodiments of this specification, the height of the intermediate crossbeam 1112 is adjustable, allowing for flexible adjustment of the shed structure's height to adapt to various environmental changes or functional requirements. The spacing between the first-layer crossbeam 1112-1 and the second-layer crossbeam 1112-2 makes the intermediate crossbeam 1112 structure more stable, while allowing for adjustment of the distance between them as needed, thereby improving the shed's flexibility and functional adaptability.

[0142] In some embodiments, the height of the intermediate crossbeam 1112 is adjustable, one end of the first side crossbeam 1111-1 and one end of the second side crossbeam 1111-2 are respectively rotatably connected to the intermediate crossbeam 1112, and the other end of the first side crossbeam 1111-1 and the other end of the second side crossbeam 1111-2 are respectively rotatably connected to the column 10.

[0143] In some embodiments, the assembly structure 12 includes a rotating connector. The rotating connector can be a hinge, a rotary bearing, etc. The first side crossbeam 1111-1 and the second side crossbeam 1111-2 can be rotatably connected to the first end crossbeam 1111-3 and the second end crossbeam 1111-4 respectively via the rotating connector on the assembly structure 12. In some embodiments, the height of the intermediate crossbeam 1112 can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation angle of the first side crossbeam 1111-1 and the second side crossbeam 1111-2. In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 122 and the second connecting portion 123 of the assembly structure 12 are rotatably connected to the base portion 121 respectively.

[0144] The adjustable-height central crossbeam 1112 and the rotatably connected side crossbeams allow for flexible adjustments to the shape of the support frame 11, enabling the canopy structure to meet the needs of different scenarios. For example, raising the central crossbeam 1112 facilitates rainwater drainage to both sides, while lowering it facilitates rainwater collection and gathering in the center.

[0145] Figure 14 is a structural schematic diagram of a shed structure according to some embodiments of this specification.

[0146] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG14, the column 10 includes a central column 104, and a central crossbeam 1112 is connected to at least one central column 104. The central column 104 is used to support the central crossbeam 1112.

[0147] At least one intermediate column 104 is located directly below the intermediate crossbeam 1112. In some embodiments, the column 10 includes one intermediate column 104, which is located directly below the center point of the intermediate crossbeam 1112, and the center of the intermediate crossbeam 1112 is connected to the intermediate column 104. In some embodiments, the column 10 includes two intermediate columns 104, which are located directly below both ends of the intermediate crossbeam 1112. One end of the intermediate crossbeam 1112 is connected to one intermediate column 104, and the other end of the intermediate crossbeam 1112 is connected to the other intermediate column 104. In some embodiments, the intermediate column 104 may include a first intermediate column and a second intermediate column. One end of the intermediate crossbeam 1112 may be connected to the first intermediate column. The other end of the intermediate crossbeam 1112 may be connected to the second intermediate column.

[0148] In some embodiments of this specification, by setting a height adjustment mechanism 14, the middle crossbeam 1112 can move flexibly in the vertical direction. This not only allows the height of the middle crossbeam 1112 to be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby changing the drainage, shading or ventilation performance of the shed structure, but also significantly improves the functional diversity and adaptability of the shed structure.

[0149] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG14, the column 10 further includes a first corner column 1051 and a second corner column 1052. One end of the first side beam 1111-1 and one end of the first end beam 1111-3 are both provided on the first corner column 1051, and one end of the second side beam 1111-2 and one end of the second end beam 1111-4 are both provided on the second corner column 1052.

[0150] The first corner pillar 1051 and the second corner pillar 1052 are located at both ends of the canopy structure and support both sides of the canopy structure. In some embodiments, the length of the middle pillar 104 is greater than the length of the first corner pillar 1051 and the second corner pillar 1052.

[0151] In some embodiments of this specification, by setting a first corner column 1051 and a second corner column 1052, which respectively connect the first side crossbeam 1111-1, the first end crossbeam 1111-3, the second side crossbeam 1111-2, and the second end crossbeam 1111-4, the stability and overall strength of the shed structure in the corner area are enhanced.

[0152] In some embodiments, the canopy structure further includes a first assembly structure and a second assembly structure, which are respectively disposed on the top of the first corner column 1051 and the top of the second corner column 1052; both the first assembly structure and the second assembly structure include a base portion 121, a first connecting portion 122 and a second connecting portion 123, the first connecting portion 122 being rotatably connected to the base portion 121, and the second connecting portion 123 being connected to the base portion 121; one end of the first side beam 1111-1 is sleeved on the first assembly structure. The first connecting part 122 of the structure 12-1 is detachably connected to the first connecting part 122; one end of the second side crossbeam 1111-2 is sleeved on the outside of the first connecting part 122 of the second assembly structure 12-2 and is detachably connected to the first connecting part 122; the first end crossbeam is sleeved on the outside of the second connecting part 122 of the first assembly structure and is detachably connected to the second connecting part 122; the second end crossbeam 1111-4 is sleeved on the outside of the second connecting part 122 of the second assembly structure and is detachably connected to the second connecting part 122.

[0153] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 122 is rotatably connected to the base portion 121 via a rotating connector (such as a hinge, a rotary bearing, or a shaft). The rotating connector may also include a limiting structure for controlling the rotation angle of the first connecting portion 122 to ensure that it rotates within a preset range.

[0154] The specific structure and arrangement of the first and second assembly structures are similar to those of assembly structure 12, as detailed in Figures 2-4. For information on rotatable and detachable connections, please refer to Figures 1-8.

[0155] In some embodiments of this specification, by setting a first assembly structure and a second assembly structure and installing them on the top of the first corner post and the second corner post respectively, quick connection and disassembly between the crossbeam and the corner post are achieved.

[0156] Figure 15 is a schematic diagram of the installation of a louvered blind according to some embodiments of this specification; Figure 16 is a schematic diagram of the installation of a louvered blind according to other embodiments of this specification.

[0157] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 10A, 10B, and 15-16, the canopy structure further includes a first louver assembly 15-1 and a second louver assembly 15-2. Both the first louver assembly 15-1 and the second louver assembly 15-2 include a plurality of rotating louvers 151. One end of each rotating louver 151 of the first louver assembly 15-1 is connected to the intermediate crossbeam 1112, and the other end is connected to the first end crossbeam 1111-3. The plurality of rotating louvers 151 of the first louver assembly 15-1 are arranged along the length direction of the intermediate crossbeam 1112. One end of each rotating louver 151 of the second louver assembly 15-2 is connected to the intermediate crossbeam 1112, and the other end is connected to the second end crossbeam 1111-4. The plurality of rotating louvers 151 of the second louver assembly 15-2 are arranged along the length direction of the intermediate crossbeam 1112. In some embodiments, the louver 151 of the first louver assembly 15-1 is slidably connected to the intermediate crossbeam 1112; the louver 151 of the second louver assembly 15-2 is slidably connected to the intermediate crossbeam 1112. In some embodiments, the louver 151 of the first louver assembly 15-1 is slidably connected to the first end crossbeam 1111-3; the louver 151 of the second louver assembly 15-2 is slidably connected to the second end crossbeam 1111-4.

[0158] The angle of the louver 211 is adjustable, and multiple louvers 211 can rotate synchronously. In some embodiments, the two ends of the louver 151 can be mounted to different crossbeams in various ways. For example, as shown in FIG15, mounting grooves 1151 for mounting the ends of the louver 151 are provided on both the intermediate crossbeam 1112 and the end crossbeam. Mounting strips 1152 are detachably mounted inside the mounting grooves 1151. The mounting strips 1152 are provided with multiple mounting holes, and the ends of the louver 151 can be inserted into the mounting holes. As another example, as shown in FIG16, the louver 151 can be connected to the intermediate crossbeam 1112 and the end crossbeam through mounting members 152. The mounting members 152 are provided with a snap-fit ​​mechanism 1521, and the louver 151 is provided with snap-fit ​​holes 1153 that cooperate with the snap-fit ​​mechanism 1521. Mounting component 152 is rotatably mounted on a crossbeam (such as a middle crossbeam 1112, an end crossbeam, etc.). Mounting component 152 is connected to the louver 151 through a snap-fit ​​mechanism 1521. Each louver 151 can be used with one mounting component 152 and a drive rod can be set to connect multiple mounting components at the same time. The drive rod drives the mounting component 152 to rotate, thereby causing the louver 151 to rotate.

[0159] In some embodiments, the two ends of the flip-up louvers 151 can be mounted to the crossbeam via end caps. See Figures 19-25 and related descriptions for detailed information on the end cap structure.

[0160] In some embodiments, the first louver assembly 15-1 and the second louver assembly 15-2 have a similar structure to the louver assembly 21 described below, as shown in Figures 19-25 and related descriptions.

[0161] In some embodiments, the slidable connection can be achieved in various ways. For example, as shown in FIG15, the mounting strip 1152 can slide within the mounting groove 1151 along the length of the louver 151. As another example, as shown in FIG16, the snap-fit ​​mechanism 1521 can slide within the snap-fit ​​hole 1153 along the length of the louver 151. Yet another example, the louver 151 has a through hole at its end, and the end cap has a strip-shaped through groove. The through hole and the strip-shaped through groove can be connected by a fastener. The fastener can pass through the through groove and be fixed to the through hole, and the fastener can slide within the strip-shaped through groove along the length of the louver 151. When the intermediate crossbeam is raised, the louver 151 will move away from the intermediate crossbeam.

[0162] In some embodiments, the tilting louvers 151 of the first louver assembly 15-1 and the tilting louvers 152 of the second louver assembly 15-2 are both capable of extending and retracting along the length of the tilting louvers 152. In some embodiments, the intermediate crossbeam 1112 and the end crossbeams are arranged parallel to each other, and the multiple tilting louvers 151 have the same length. In some embodiments, the intermediate crossbeam 1112 and the end crossbeams are not parallel, and the multiple tilting louvers 151 have different lengths. In some embodiments, the tilting louver 151 includes multiple louver segments arranged along its length, and each louver segment is slidably connected to the others, thereby enabling the tilting louver 152 to extend and retract along its length. By sliding the multiple louver segments, the length of the tilting louver can be adjusted. When the intermediate crossbeam 1112 rises and falls, the distance between the intermediate crossbeam 1112 and the end crossbeam changes, thereby causing the multiple louver segments of the tilting louver 151 to slide synchronously.

[0163] In some embodiments of this specification, the first louver assembly 15-1 and the second louver assembly 15-2 achieve multi-functionality in terms of shading, ventilation, and drainage of the canopy structure. One end of the flip-up louver 151 is connected to the intermediate crossbeam 1112, and the other end is connected to the end crossbeam, arranged along the length of the intermediate crossbeam 1112. This not only enhances the overall aesthetics of the canopy structure but also improves the efficiency of shading and water drainage. The slidable arrangement of the flip-up louver 151 and the intermediate crossbeam 1112 adapts to changes when the intermediate crossbeam is raised or lowered, further enhancing the practicality of the canopy structure.

[0164] Figure 17 is a structural schematic diagram of the first water guide channel according to some embodiments of this specification. In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 17, the first side beam 1111-1 and the second side beam 1111-2 both include a first beam body 113 and a first water guide channel 1131 disposed on the first beam body 113, the first water guide channel 1131 extending along the length direction of the first beam body 113.

[0165] The first crossbeam body 113 constitutes the main body of the first side crossbeam 1111-1 and the second side crossbeam 1111-2.

[0166] The first water guide channel 1131 is used for drainage of the first crossbeam body 113. The first water guide channel 1131 can collect and guide rainwater to flow along the length of the first crossbeam body 113. In some embodiments, the first water guide channel 1131 is located at the bottom or side of the first crossbeam body 113. In some embodiments, the first water guide channel 1131 can be a rectangle with an open top. In some embodiments, the first water guide channel 1131 is U-shaped or semi-circular and has a smooth inner wall, thereby reducing water flow resistance. The first water guide channel 1131 extends along the length of the first crossbeam body 113 and communicates with the water guide port 106 at the top of the column 10 or other drainage systems.

[0167] In some embodiments of this specification, by providing a first water guide trough 1131 on the first side crossbeam 1111-1 and the second side crossbeam 1111-2, rainwater can be discharged in a timely manner, effectively preventing rainwater from accumulating on the crossbeams and reducing the risk of corrosion to the shed structure.

[0168] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG17, a water guide 106 is provided at the top of the column 10, and a first water guide channel 1131 is connected to the water guide 106. In some embodiments, the water guide 106 and the water outlet channel 103 may be of the same structure. For details about the water outlet channel 103, please refer to the relevant description in FIG6.

[0169] The water inlet 106 refers to the opening provided at the top of the column 10. In some embodiments, the column 10 has a hollow structure and a drainage outlet is provided at the bottom of the column 10. When the amount of rainwater is small, when the intermediate crossbeam 1112 is moved to the first position, rainwater can flow into the column 10 and be discharged through the first water guide channel 1131 and the water inlet 106.

[0170] In some embodiments of this specification, by providing a water guide 106 at the top of the column 10 and connecting the first water guide channel 1131 to the water guide 106, efficient guidance and discharge of rainwater from the crossbeam 111 to the column 10 is achieved.

[0171] Figure 18A is a schematic diagram showing the location of the second water guide channel according to some embodiments of this specification.

[0172] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG18A, the intermediate crossbeam 1112 includes a second crossbeam body 114 and a second water guide groove 1141 on the second crossbeam body 114, the second water guide groove 1141 extending along the length direction of the second crossbeam body 114.

[0173] The second crossbeam 114 forms the main structure of the middle crossbeam 1112.

[0174] The second water guide channel 1141 is used for drainage of the second crossbeam body 114. The second water guide channel 1141 can collect and guide rainwater to flow along the length of the second crossbeam body 114. In some embodiments, the first water guide channel 1131 is located at the bottom or side of the first crossbeam body 113. The structure of the second water guide channel 1141 is similar to that of the first water guide channel 1131, as detailed in Figure 17.

[0175] A second water guide channel 1141 is provided on the intermediate crossbeam 1112 to allow rainwater to be discharged and collected from the intermediate crossbeam 1112. In some embodiments, when the two ends of the intermediate crossbeam 1112 are respectively connected to the intermediate column 104 by a drive mechanism, the two ends of the intermediate crossbeam 1112 can be at different heights, thereby forming a certain inclination angle of the intermediate crossbeam 1112, which facilitates the flow of rainwater to the second water guide channel 1141 for discharge or collection, further improving the drainage efficiency of the shed structure.

[0176] Figure 18B is a partial structural schematic diagram of a water storage tank according to some embodiments of this specification.

[0177] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG18B, a water storage tank 16 is provided below the second water guide channel 1141, and an opening is provided on the second water guide channel 1141, the opening being connected to the water storage tank 16; a water outlet pipe 161 communicating with the water storage tank is provided at the bottom of the water storage tank.

[0178] The outlet pipe 161 refers to a pipe structure used to drain water from the water storage tank. In some embodiments, one end of the outlet pipe 161 is located at the bottom of the water storage tank 16, and the other end is connected to the drainage system.

[0179] In some embodiments, when the amount of rainwater is large, the intermediate crossbeam 1112 is moved to a second position, and the rainwater can flow into the water storage tank for collection through the second water guide channel 1141 and the opening on the second water guide channel 1141.

[0180] In some embodiments of this specification, a water storage tank 16 is provided below the second water guide channel 1141 and connected to an opening, thereby achieving rainwater collection and storage, reducing resource waste and supporting reuse. The water outlet pipe 161 at the bottom of the water storage tank 16 can guide water flow to a designated location, avoiding overflow or blockage problems, improving the reliability and practicality of the drainage system, and enhancing the functionality and environmental friendliness of the shed structure.

[0181] In some embodiments, the support frame 11 is provided with a shielding component 20, which can close at least a portion of the support frame 11.

[0182] The shading assembly 20 is used to form a shading above the support frame 11, serving to protect against rain, snow, and sun. The shading assembly 20 can be configured as a shading plate, louvers, etc. The shading plate can be a metal plate, PC plate, or PVC plate, etc. For information on louvers, please refer to Figures 10A-17 and related descriptions.

[0183] Figure 19 is a top view of a support frame according to some embodiments of this specification. As exemplarily shown in Figure 19, the support frame 11 includes multiple crossbeams that enclose an annular closed area, and the shielding component 20 is disposed to cover the closed area.

[0184] By setting up shading components, the canopy structure can be made to have shading functions (such as rain protection, sun protection, etc.).

[0185] Figure 20 is a partial exploded view of a shielding assembly according to some embodiments of this specification.

[0186] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG20, the shielding assembly 20 includes a louver assembly 21 and an end cap 22. The louver assembly 21 includes a plurality of flip-up louvers 211, and both ends of each flip-up louver 211 are connected to the support frame 11 through the end cap 22.

[0187] For information on the tilting louvers, please refer to Figures 10A-17 and related descriptions. In some embodiments, the canopy structure includes a tilting adjustment member 201. As shown in Figure 20, the tilting adjustment member 201 can be mounted on a crossbeam connected to the tilting louvers 211. The tilting adjustment member 201 includes a push rod, a connecting rod, and a drive member. The drive member provides power for the rotation of the tilting louvers 211. For example, the drive member can be a hand crank or a rotary motor. The push rod is fixedly connected to one end of a plurality of tilting louvers 211, and the connecting rod is fixed to the push rod. The drive member can drive the connecting rod to move, thereby driving the push rod to reciprocate, thus controlling the synchronous rotation of the plurality of tilting louvers 211 in each group of louver assemblies 21. The tilting adjustment member 201 can control the angle of the tilting louvers 211, thereby controlling the shading range of the shading assembly 20.

[0188] End caps 22 are used to support and fix the tilting louvers 211. In some embodiments, the crossbeams connected to both ends of the louver assembly 21 are provided with pivot brackets 202. As shown in FIG20, the pivot brackets 202 are provided with multiple grooves, the number of grooves being the same as the number of tilting louvers 211 in the louver assembly 21. Shaft supports 203 are provided in the grooves, and end caps 22 are mounted on the shaft supports 203. The pivot brackets and shaft supports ensure that the louver assembly can move freely.

[0189] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG21, a rotating shaft 204 is provided on the side wall of the end cap 22 near the rotating shaft bracket 202, and the rotating shaft 204 is disposed perpendicular to the wall. In some embodiments, the rotating shaft 204 is located at an off-center position on the wall.

[0190] By setting the louver assembly 21 and end cap 22, the shading assembly 20 can be flexibly adjusted, thereby realizing multiple functions of the canopy structure (such as adjusting the angle of the louver assembly to achieve different degrees of light control, ventilation, or prevention of rainwater accumulation).

[0191] Figure 21 is a perspective view of an end cap according to some embodiments of this specification. Figure 22 is a cross-sectional view of an end cap according to some embodiments of this specification.

[0192] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 20-22, the end cap 22 includes a support portion 221 and a clamping portion 222. The clamping portion 222 includes a first clamping plate 2221 and a second clamping plate 2222. The support portion 221 supports and connects to the first clamping plate 2221, and a gap is formed between the first clamping plate 2221 and the second clamping plate 2222. The flip-up louver 211 includes a louver body 2111, which is inserted into the gap and clamped by the first clamping plate 2221 and the second clamping plate 2222.

[0193] The support part 221 is used to support the tilting louver 211 and the clamping part 222. The clamping part 222 is used to clamp the tilting louver 211. The louver plate 2111 can be the main body of the tilting louver 211.

[0194] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 21-22, a first clamping plate 2221 is disposed on the side of the second clamping plate 2222 facing the support portion 211. In some embodiments, the second clamping plate 2222 may be disposed on the support portion 221 and connected to the support portion 221. In some embodiments, one end of the second clamping plate 2222 may be connected to one end of the first clamping plate 2221.

[0195] In some embodiments, the first clamping plate 2221 and the second clamping plate 2222 are connected by an elastic element.

[0196] By providing a support portion 221 and a clamping portion 222, the clamping portion 222 can effectively clamp the louver panel 2111. A gap is provided between the first clamping plate 2221 and the second clamping plate 2222 to clamp and limit the louver panel 2111, thereby preventing the louver panel from easily falling off during free opening and closing, improving ease of use and safety.

[0197] In some embodiments, the cross section of the louvered plate 2111 perpendicular to its own length direction is arc-shaped, the first clamping plate 2221 and the second clamping plate 2222 are both arc surfaces, the support part 221 is semi-cylindrical, the arc side of the support part 221 is in contact with the inner arc surface of the first clamping plate 2221, and a gap is formed between the outer arc surface of the first clamping plate 2221 and the inner arc surface of the second clamping plate 2222.

[0198] In some embodiments, the curvature of the arc-shaped cross section of the louvered plate 2111 is the same as the curvature of the arc surface of the first clamping plate 2221 and the second clamping plate 2222.

[0199] By designing the louvered panel 2111 and the clamping plate as curved shapes, the overall aesthetics are optimized. Simultaneously, the curved design better adapts to airflow, reduces wind resistance, and enhances structural stability. Furthermore, the curved side of the support portion 221 fits against the inner curved surface of the first clamping plate 2221, allowing the support portion to provide stronger support to the clamping plate.

[0200] Figure 23 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a louvered structure according to some embodiments of this specification. Figure 24 is a perspective schematic diagram of an end cap according to some embodiments of this specification.

[0201] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 20-24, the second clamping plate 2222 is provided with an opening slot 2223, the first clamping plate 2221 is provided with a snap-fit ​​member 2224 at a position corresponding to the opening slot 2223, and the louvered plate 2111 is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole 2112 that can cooperate with the snap-fit ​​member 2224; when the louvered plate 2111 is inserted into the gap, the snap-fit ​​member 2224 snaps into the snap-fit ​​hole 2112.

[0202] The opening slot 2223 is provided through the second clamping plate 2222 along its thickness direction. The opening slot 2223 is located at the edge of the second clamping plate 2222, and its opening faces the louvered plate body 2111. In some embodiments, at least one opening slot 2223 is provided on the second clamping plate 2222. For example, one opening slot 2223 is provided on the second clamping plate 2222. As another example, as shown in Figures 21-22, two opening slots 2223 are provided on the second clamping plate 2222. The shape of the opening slot 2223 can be set according to requirements. For example, as shown in Figure 21, the opening slot 2223 can be a U-shaped slot, with the U-shaped slot opening towards the louvered plate body 2111.

[0203] The snap-fit ​​element 2224 can be a protrusion on the outer surface of the first clamping plate 2221. The protrusion height of the snap-fit ​​element 2224 on the outer surface of the first clamping plate 2221 gradually increases away from the louvered plate 2111. For example, as shown in Figure 23, the snap-fit ​​element 2224 is an arc-shaped triangular corner piece, and the direction of the corner piece is consistent with the opening direction of the opening slot 2223. The size of the snap-fit ​​holes 2112 is slightly larger than that of the snap-fit ​​element 2224. When the louvered plate 2111 is inserted into the end cover 22, the louvered plate 2111 presses the snap-fit ​​element 2224 first downwards towards the opening slot 2223. Then, when the positions of the snap-fit ​​holes 2112 and the snap-fit ​​element 2224 coincide, the snap-fit ​​element 2224 springs back and snaps into the snap-fit ​​holes 2112.

[0204] The snap-fit ​​holes 2112 are located on both sides of the edge of the louvered panel 2111. The number of snap-fit ​​holes 2112 is the same as the number of snap-fit ​​parts 2224 and opening slots 2223. The snap-fit ​​holes 2112 cooperate with the snap-fit ​​parts 2224 to fix the louvered panel 2111 onto the end cap 22. The shape of the snap-fit ​​holes 2112 matches the shape of the snap-fit ​​parts 2224. For example, if the snap-fit ​​holes 2112 are rectangular, then the cross-section of the snap-fit ​​parts 2224 is rectangular.

[0205] When the louvered panel 2111 is inserted into the clamping gap, it can be automatically locked onto the end cover 22 by the snap-fit ​​component 2224, eliminating the need for manual operation and improving the convenience and safety of assembly. The opening slot 2223 also facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the flip-up louver 211.

[0206] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 20 and 23, a first mating component 2113 and a second mating component 2114 are respectively provided on both sides of the louver panel 2111 in the width direction (e.g., the D2 direction shown in Figure 23); the first mating component 2113 and the second mating component 2114 are both bent plate-shaped structures; the second mating component 2114 is bent to form a groove structure; for two louvers among a plurality of louvers 211, the first mating component 2113 of one louver can be embedded in the groove structure of the second mating component 2114 of the other louver.

[0207] The first mating component 2113 and the second mating component 2114 are used to achieve mutual mating between the multiple rotating louvers 211. The bending directions of the first mating component 2113 and the second mating component 2114 are the same. In some embodiments, the width of the groove structure of the second mating component 2114 is greater than the width of the first mating component 2113, and the height of the second mating component 2114 is greater than the height of the first mating component 2113. When adjacent rotating louvers are in a horizontal state, the first mating component 2113 of the rotating louver can be embedded into the bottom of the second mating component 2114 of the adjacent rotating louver.

[0208] The first mating component 2113 and the second mating component 2114 can be used to make multiple rotating louvers 211 fit together, thereby realizing the shading function of the louver assembly 21. By using the embedded groove structure, the first mating component 2113 and the second mating component 2114 can form a relatively firm connection, thereby reducing the risk of displacement or detachment of the rotating louvers 211 under external force.

[0209] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 20 and 23, the groove structure is provided with a mounting groove 2115, and an anti-collision component 2116 is detachably provided in the mounting groove 2115.

[0210] The mounting groove 2115 is a recess for mounting the anti-collision component 2116. The anti-collision component 2116 is made of an elastic material, such as an anti-collision rubber strip or other elastic material. In some embodiments, the bottom of the anti-collision component 2116 may be wavy or continuously convex / concave to prevent rainwater from splashing out. The anti-collision component 2116 can be inserted into the mounting groove 2115 at least partially. For example, as shown in FIG24, the top shape of the anti-collision component 2116 matches the shape of the mounting groove 2115. After the first mating component 2113 is embedded in the groove structure, the top surface of the first mating component 2113 abuts against the bottom surface of the anti-collision component 2116.

[0211] Figure 25 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a flip-up louver according to some embodiments of this specification. In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 25, the lower part of the louver panel 2111 is provided with a connecting member 2117 that is connected to and flush with the first mating member 2113 and the second mating member 2114 on both sides. The connecting member can support the louver panel and make the structure of the louver panel more stable.

[0212] The mounting groove 2115 and the anti-collision component 2116 can prevent hard contact between the first mating component 2113 and the second mating component 2114, thereby reducing wear on the louver assembly 21.

[0213] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 21-23, the support portion 221 includes a support body 2211 and a first sub-support portion 2212 and a second sub-support portion 2213 connected to both sides of the support body 2211 along the width direction. The support body 2211 supports the clamping portion 222. When the louvered plate 2111 is inserted into the gap, the first mating component 2113 wraps around at least a portion of the first sub-support portion 2212, and the second mating component 2114 wraps around at least a portion of the second sub-support portion 2213.

[0214] The support body 2211 is the main part of the support section 221. The first sub-support section 2212, the second sub-support section 2213 and the first clamping plate 2221 are all connected to the support body 2211.

[0215] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 21-22, a reinforcing arc-shaped surface 2214 is provided at the connection between the first sub-support portion 2212 and the second sub-support portion 2213 and the support body 2211, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the support portion 221. The reinforcing arc-shaped surface is used to connect the first sub-support portion 2212 and the second sub-support portion 2213 with the support body 2211, and the reinforcing arc-shaped surface can be an arc-shaped transition structure.

[0216] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG22, the two sides of the second clamping plate 2222 are not connected to the first sub-support portion 2212 and the second sub-support portion 2213, the two sides of the first clamping plate 2221 are connected to the first sub-support portion 2212 and the second sub-support portion 2213, the louvered plate body 2111 is inserted into the gap between the first clamping plate 2221 and the second clamping plate 2222, and at the same time, the first mating component 2113 and the second mating component 2114 on both sides are attached to the surface of the first sub-support portion 2212 and the second sub-support portion 2213.

[0217] Figure 26 is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of the end cap according to some other embodiments of this specification.

[0218] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG26, neither side of the first clamping plate 2221 nor the second clamping plate 2222 is connected to the first sub-support 2212 or the second sub-support 2213. The gaps on both sides of the first clamping plate 2221 and the second clamping plate 2222 are connected, and the connector 2117 at the lower part of the louver body 2111 is inserted into the gap. The two ends of the first clamping plate 2221 and the second clamping plate 2222 are not connected in the length direction and are in an open state, thereby facilitating the insertion of the louver body 2111 with the connecting plate into the gap. See the relevant description below for the connecting plate.

[0219] The provision of a first sub-support portion 2212 and a second sub-support portion 2213 can further enhance the supporting strength of the support portion 221 and improve the stability of the shielding assembly 20. The first mating component 2113 and the second mating component 2114 respectively cover the first sub-support portion 2212 and the second sub-support portion 2113, which can improve the connection stability between the rotating louver 211 and the support portion 221.

[0220] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 21-26, the end cap 22 further includes a connecting plate 223, and the clamping part 222 and the supporting part 221 are disposed on the connecting plate 223. The supporting part 221 includes a reinforcing rib 224 connected to the connecting plate 223.

[0221] The reinforcing rib 224 is disposed on the wall surface of the support portion 221 near the louvered plate 2111. For example, as shown in FIG22, the reinforcing rib 224 includes a plurality of protruding structures, and the plurality of protruding structures are evenly distributed obliquely on the wall surface of the support portion 221 near the louvered plate 2111.

[0222] By setting reinforcing ribs 224 on the connecting plate 223, the strength of the connecting plate 223 can be enhanced, thereby improving the structural stability of the end cover 22 and preventing the end cover 22 from deforming.

[0229] Some embodiments in this specification include, but are not limited to, the following beneficial effects: (1) By combining the beam body and splicing sleeve into a spliced ​​beam, the beam body can be segmented during transportation, ensuring convenient transportation. The segmented design also facilitates disassembly and maintenance. (2) The cooperation between the guide limiting component and the guide limiting groove ensures that the beam body can be accurately aligned during splicing, avoiding misalignment or tilting, and improving the stability and connection accuracy of the overall structure. (3) If the crossbeam is too long, the design of the splicing sleeve and the beam body can enhance the overall strength of the crossbeam, enabling it to withstand greater loads. (4) Multi-segment beam bodies can adapt to the needs of different sizes or shapes of shed structures, improving the flexibility of the design.

[0230] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 29 and 30, both the first beam 411 and the second beam 412 include a first beam portion 401 and a second beam portion 402.
