A fastening bolt is used to connect a positioning insertion plate located outside the cross beam, and the positioning insertion plate only needs to be inserted into a corresponding assembly slide rail, allowing for relative position limiting of the cross beam and the upright column. Then, the fastening bolt is tightened to drive the positioning insertion plate to elastically deform to be secured in the assembly slide rail, thus fixing the cross beam to the upright column.


Thirdly, the present application achieves firm connection between the assembly crank and the louver blade through the fitting between an insertion post and an insertion hole and fitting between a limiting slot and a snap-fitted protrusion. Compared with the prior art, the present application provides convenient assembly and disassembly, which is time-saving and labor-saving, ensuring stable connection.


Lastly, in the present application, a water baffle is used to divide a water collecting slot into two chambers, with a seam located in one of the chambers. The water baffle ensures that water in the seam-free chamber does not flow into the chamber with the seam. A water guide plate above the water leakage cavity guides water to a side of the water baffle away from the water leakage cavity, preventing rainwater flowing down from the louver blade above the water leakage cavity from entering the water leakage cavity. This effectively prevents water in the water collecting slot from leaking through the seam, thereby preventing water leakage in the middle of the frame body of the louver canopy.
