[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this application is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1, this embodiment of the application provides an installation structure 10 for mounting the canopy 100's shielding body 20, supporting the shielding body 20 on a supporting surface (not shown). This allows outdoor robots (not shown), such as lawnmowers or grass trimmers, to autonomously move under the shielding body 20 of the canopy 100 when needed or during rain. The canopy 100 can be installed in outdoor locations such as lawns, parks, and scenic areas to protect outdoor robots like lawnmowers and grass trimmers from rain. The supporting surface can be the ground.

[0028] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, the installation structure 10 includes two brackets 1 and at least two connecting rods 2, such as two, three, four, etc. In this embodiment, the number of connecting rods 2 is not specifically limited. The two brackets 1 are arranged opposite to each other, and the bottom of each bracket 1 is used to fix it on the support surface. The two ends of the connecting rods 2 are detachably connected to the top of the two brackets 1 respectively. The shielding body 20 is detachably set on the brackets 1 and the connecting rods 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, the mounting structure 10 improves the connection stability between the two supports 1 by providing multiple connecting rods 2 between them. Furthermore, compared to a solution using only one connecting rod 2, this avoids torsion of the two supports 1 around the connecting rod 2, thereby improving the assembly stability between the supports 1 and the connecting rod 2. Simultaneously, the connecting rod 2 is detachable from the supports 1, allowing for separation during transport, thus saving transport space and facilitating the transport of the mounting structure 10.

[0030] In a specific application scenario, the main body 20 of the canopy is detachable from the mounting structure 10, and the bracket 1 and the connecting rod 2 in the mounting structure 10 are detachable. In this case, when transporting the canopy 100, the mounting structure 10 and the main body 20 can be disassembled. Compared with the canopy 100, the disassembled connecting rod 2, bracket 1 and main body 20 occupy less space, which can save transportation space and facilitate the transportation of the canopy 100.

[0031] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in one specific embodiment, multiple connecting rods 2 are arranged in parallel at intervals. The arrangement direction of the multiple connecting rods 2 is defined as the first direction, and the arrangement direction of the two supports 1 is defined as the second direction. The first direction and the second direction intersect. For example, the multiple connecting rods 2 are arranged in parallel at intervals front and back, and the two supports 1 are arranged left and right, which facilitates the assembly of the supports 1 and the connecting rods 2. For example, the connecting rods 2 are cylindrical.

[0032] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in some embodiments, both ends of each connecting rod 2 are respectively inserted into two brackets 1. In this embodiment, the connecting rod 2 and the bracket 1 are detachable by insertion, which allows the connecting rod 2 to be easily removed from the bracket 1 during transportation.

[0033] As shown in Figure 3, in some embodiments, each bracket 1 is provided with at least two insertion holes 11, such as two, three, four, etc. This embodiment does not specifically limit the number of insertion holes 11. At least two insertion holes 11 correspond one-to-one with at least two connecting rods 2. The two ends of each connecting rod 2 are respectively inserted into the insertion holes 11 of the two brackets 1. In this way, when installing the connecting rod 2 and the bracket 1, the two ends of the connecting rod 2 are respectively inserted into the insertion holes 11 of the two brackets 1, which is convenient for installation.

[0034] As shown in Figure 3, in some embodiments, at least two insertion posts 12 protrude from the inner side of each bracket 1. The inner side of the bracket 1 can be understood as the side of the two brackets 1 facing each other. Each insertion post 12 is provided with a connected insertion hole 11 and an insertion groove (not shown). The end of the connecting rod 2 is inserted into the insertion groove through the insertion hole 11, thereby improving the connection stability between the connecting rod 2 and the bracket 1. Further, the outer peripheral surface of the insertion post 12 is provided with a plurality of first reinforcing parts 121. The plurality of first reinforcing parts 121 are arranged around the outer periphery of the insertion post 12, and the plurality of insertion parts are also connected to the bracket 1 to enhance the stability of the insertion post 12 on the bracket 1. For example, the first reinforcing part 121 may be a reinforcing plate.

[0035] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in some embodiments, each bracket 1 has a first snap-fit ​​portion 13 at its top, and the shielding body 20 has a second snap-fit ​​portion 21 corresponding to the first snap-fit ​​portion 13. The first snap-fit ​​portion 13 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 21 snap together to snap the shielding body 20 onto the bracket 1. In this embodiment, the shielding body 20 and the bracket 1 are detachable by snap-fit, which allows the shielding body 20 to be easily removed from the bracket 1 during transportation, thus facilitating transport.

[0036] As shown in Figures 3 and 5, in some embodiments, one of the first snap-fit ​​portion 13 and the other of the second snap-fit ​​portion 21 is a snap-fit ​​protrusion and the other is a snap-fit ​​groove. The snap-fit ​​protrusion is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove, and the snap-fit ​​protrusion and the snap-fit ​​groove cooperate to achieve the snap-fit ​​method, which can reduce the use of screws, facilitate installation, and improve the installation stability of the shielding body 20 on the bracket 1 after the snap-fit ​​protrusion and the snap-fit ​​groove are engaged. For example, the snap-fit ​​protrusion can be a buckle, such as a straight-arm buckle, and the inner side wall of the snap-fit ​​groove is provided with a buckle plate (not shown), and the buckle plate has a buckle hole (not shown) that cooperates with the buckle.

[0037] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in some embodiments, each bracket 1 has a first guide portion 14 at its top, and the shielding body 20 has a second guide portion 22 corresponding to the first guide portion 14. The first guide portion 14 and the second guide portion 22 are inserted together to guide the shielding body 20 to be installed on the bracket 1. In this embodiment, the insertion and cooperation of the first guide portion 14 and the second guide portion 22 can determine the installation position of the shielding body 20, reduce the installation difficulty, and improve the installation stability of the shielding body 20 and the bracket 1.

[0038] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in some embodiments, one of the first guide portion 14 and the second guide portion 22 is a guide post and the other is a guide hole. The guide post is inserted into the guide hole, which makes it easier to determine the position of the shielding body 20 on the bracket 1, thereby reducing the installation difficulty.

[0039] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in some embodiments, there are two first guide portions 14 in the same bracket 1. The two first guide portions 14 are located on opposite sides of the first snap-fit ​​portion 13, so that while guiding the installation of the shielding body 20, the shielding body 20 is snap-fitted and installed on the bracket 1.

[0040] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in a specific embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​part 13 on the bracket 1 is a snap-fit ​​groove, the second snap-fit ​​part 21 on the shielding body 20 is a snap-fit ​​protrusion, the first guide part 14 on the bracket 1 is a guide hole, and the second guide part 22 on the shielding body 20 is a guide post, which can reduce the difficulty of installing the shielding body 20 on the bracket 1.

[0041] As shown in Figure 6, in some embodiments, the shielding body 20 is located on the side of the connecting rod 2 away from the bracket 1 and covers the bracket 1 and the connecting rod 2. Thus, the connecting rod 2 and the bracket 1 together support the shielding body 20, improving the pressure-bearing capacity of the shielding body 20. Therefore, when a pet jumps onto the shielding body 20, the shielding body 20 can withstand the impact pressure from the pet's jump, preventing the shielding body 20 from being crushed.

[0042] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, in some embodiments, each support 1 is provided with a ventilation hole 15, and the ventilation holes 15 of the two supports 1 are arranged opposite to each other. In this embodiment, providing ventilation holes 15 on the supports 1 can maintain ventilation inside the canopy 100 and can also reduce the weight of the supports 1.

[0043] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, in some embodiments, the support 1 includes a base plate 16 and a side frame 17 connected at an angle. The base plate 16 is used to be mounted on the support surface to support the side frame 17. The shielding body 20 is mounted on the top of the side frame 17. The ventilation hole 15 is provided on the side frame 17, which can reduce the windward area of ​​the side frame 17, thereby weakening the wind force acting on the support 1, making the wind force acting on the mounting structure 10 even smaller, thus preventing the mounting structure 10 from being blown down, and making the canopy 100 less likely to be blown down.

[0044] As shown in Figure 6, in some embodiments, the side frame 17 includes a middle region 17a and an outer region 17b. The outer region 17b is arranged around the middle region 17a, and the ventilation hole 15 is located in the middle region 17a. This can reduce the weight of the side frame 17, reduce the windward area of ​​the side frame 17, weaken the wind force acting on the side frame 17, and increase the difficulty of the side frame 17 being blown over.

[0045] As shown in Figure 6, in one specific embodiment, the inner side of the side frame 17 is provided with a top frame 18 integrally formed and connected to the side frame 17. The top frame 18 is used to install the connecting rod 2 and the shielding body 20, and is covered by the shielding body 20.

[0046] As shown in Figure 3, in a specific embodiment, the base plate 16 is provided with holes 161 for locking the base plate 16 onto the support surface. Specifically, the portion of the base plate 16 located on both sides of the side frame 17 is provided with holes 161. The side frame 17 is located in the middle of the base plate 16, which improves the stability of the side frame 17 supported on the support surface.

[0047] As shown in Figure 3, in one specific embodiment, the side frame 17 is provided with a plurality of second reinforcing parts 19 around the ventilation hole 15 to enhance the structural strength of the side frame 17. Specifically, the second reinforcing parts 19 are arranged around the outer periphery of the ventilation hole 15, and the second reinforcing parts 19 include a transverse reinforcing plate 191 and a vertical reinforcing plate 192 connected at an angle to prevent the ventilation hole 15 from deforming.

[0048] As shown in Figure 1, this embodiment also provides a canopy 100, which includes a shielding body 20 and an installation structure 10 as described in any of the above embodiments, with the shielding body 20 disposed on the installation structure 10.

[0049] In this embodiment, the canopy 100, using the aforementioned mounting structure 10, allows the shielding body 20 to be mounted on the supporting surface. The shielding body 20 and the two supports 1 can enclose a space to accommodate an outdoor robot. This allows outdoor robots, such as lawnmowers or lawn-mowing robots, to move along the arrangement of the multiple connecting rods 2 to the area under the shielding body 20, so that the shielding body 20 can provide shelter from rain. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the shielding body 20 and the mounting structure 10 are detachable, as are the supports 1 and connecting rods 2 within the mounting structure 10. This allows the mounting structure 10 to be disassembled from the shielding body 20 during transport. Compared to an assembled canopy 100, the disassembled connecting rods 2, supports 1, and shielding body 20 occupy less space, saving transport space and facilitating the transport of the canopy 100. For example, the shielding body 20 can be a top cover.

[0050] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the canopy 100 further includes at least two connecting buckles 30, which correspond one-to-one with at least two connecting rods 2; one end of the connecting buckle 30 is rotatably connected to the shielding body 20, and the other end of the connecting buckle 30 is connected to the shielding body 20 when the connecting buckle 30 surrounds the outer periphery of the connecting rod 2, so as to realize the connection between the shielding body 20 and the connecting rod 2.

[0051] In this embodiment, when assembling the shielding body 20 and the connecting rod 2, the other end of the connecting buckle 30 can be connected to the shielding body 20 by using screw locking technology, so that the shielding body 20 is fixed to the connecting rod 2 in the vertical direction, thereby improving the connection stability between the shielding body 20 and the connecting rod 2 and thus improving the installation stability of the shielding body 20.

[0052] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the shielding body 20 is provided with at least two connecting seats 23, and at least two connecting seats 23 correspond one-to-one with at least two connecting buckles 30. One end of the connecting buckle 30 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 23, and the other end of the connecting buckle 30 is fixed to the connecting seat 23 by screws (not shown) so that the connecting buckle 30 surrounds the outer periphery of the connecting rod 2, thereby supporting the connecting rod 2 and fixing the connecting rod 2 and the shielding body 20.

[0053] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, in one specific embodiment, the connecting seat 23 is provided with a first hinge portion 231, a first arc-shaped groove 232, and a first mounting hole 233. The first hinge portion 231 and the first mounting hole 233 are respectively located on both sides of the first arc-shaped groove 232. The first hinge portion 231 can be a hook for the hinge shaft to pass through and connect. Referring to Figures 8 and 9, the connecting buckle 30 includes a second hinge portion 31, a body portion 32, and a mounting portion 33. The second hinge portion 31 and the mounting portion 33 are respectively connected to both sides of the body portion 32. The main body 32 is provided with a second arc-shaped groove 34, which, together with the first arc-shaped groove 232, forms a through hole (not shown) for the connecting rod 2 to pass through. The connecting buckle 30 also includes a hinge shaft (not shown) that connects the first hinge part 231 and the second hinge part 31 respectively, so that the second hinge part 31 can rotate relative to the first hinge part 231. When the connecting rod 2 passes through the through hole, the fixing member (not shown) passes through the mounting part 33 and the first mounting hole 233 to fix the mounting part 33 on the first mounting hole 233. For example, the fixing member is a fixing screw, and the mounting part 33 is provided with a second mounting hole 35 for the fixing member to pass through.

[0054] As shown in Figure 9, in one specific embodiment, there are two second hinge portions 31, which are located on opposite sides of the first hinge portion 231. Each second hinge portion 31 has a shaft hole 36 for the hinge shaft to pass through. In another specific embodiment, the connecting buckle 30 has a hinge shaft located between the two second hinge portions 31, and both ends of the hinge shaft are connected to the two second hinge portions 31 respectively.

[0055] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the content of this application's specification and drawings under the concept of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this application.
