Next, the fixing of the intermediate panel 11 will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, the end of the intermediate panel 11 on the side of the battery panel 8 is placed on the upper surface of the passing member 54 of the horizontal rail 5. The intermediate panel 11 has an end on the roof panel 9 side extending above the roof panel 9 and is fixed to the roof panel 9 with fixing bolts 93. Here, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 7, the intermediate panel 11 extends above a portion (hereinafter, an adjacent portion) 89 where the battery panel 8 and the roof panel 9 are adjacent to each other, so that the adjacent portion 89 is covered with the intermediate panel 11. The upper part is not exposed. Therefore, the inflow of rainwater into the adjacent portion 89 is prevented, and the design is improved. In addition, since the adjacent portion 89 is covered with the intermediate panel 11 in this manner, the adjacent portion 89 can be formed in an arbitrary shape without considering the strict raining, and division of an arbitrary cross section of the roof panel 9 described later can be easily performed. Can be achieved. Note that an airtight material shown by oblique lines in FIG. 7 is provided between the intermediate panel 11 and the raising frame 56 to prevent rainwater from flowing between the intermediate panel 11 and the raising frame 56.

As shown in the drawings, when the battery panel 8, the roof panel 9, and the intermediate panel 11 are fixed by the above-described structure, the upper surfaces of these panels are substantially flush with each other. I have. Therefore, the drainage and design of rainwater between the panels are improved. In the present embodiment, the roof panel 9
In addition, in order to make it possible to divert a conventional carport to the base member 51 of the horizontal rail 5, a through member 54 is provided to raise the position of the battery panel 8, or the intermediate panel 11 is moved upward from the upper surface of the through member 54. It is devised such as starting up. However, if it is not necessary to align the upper surfaces of the panels, the through member 54 may be omitted or the intermediate panel 11 may have a different shape.

Finally, a structure for arbitrarily determining and changing the arrangement position of the battery panel 8 will be described. First, the horizontal rail 5 shown in FIG. 7 is movable to an arbitrary position in the longitudinal direction of the beam 2 by attaching and detaching a connecting screw between the side piece 52 and the beam 2. The horizontal rail 5 is not limited to the structure shown in the present embodiment, but may be any known structure so that the horizontal rail 5 is movable.

Further, since the roof panel 9 is formed of an aluminum plate, it can be easily cut at an arbitrary cross section along the longitudinal direction. Here, in FIG.
Assuming that the width of the rear roof panel 9 is L1, the width of the front roof panel 9 is L2, and the width of the battery panel 8 is L3, the roof panel 9 before the present carport assembly is formed integrally with the width of L1 + L2. I have. After the mounting position of the battery panel 8 is determined, the roof panel 9 is divided into two parts in accordance with the determined position. In the present embodiment, it is determined that the battery panel 8 is to be mounted at a position L2 from the front end of the frame 4 and, therefore, the roof panel 9 is divided into a width L2 and a width L1. (In this embodiment, L1 = L2).

As described above, since the horizontal rail 5 is movable and the roof panel 9 is freely divided, the battery panel 8 can be arranged at an arbitrary position. The adjacent portion 89 between the battery panel 8 and the roof panel 9 is connected to the intermediate panel 1 as described above.
Since it is covered with 1, the adjacent portion 89 can be formed in an arbitrary shape without considering the strict raining, and the roof panel 9 can be easily divided at an arbitrary cross section. Preferably, however, the roof panel 9 is divided at its base 94 as shown in FIG. Alternatively, since the position arrangement of the battery panel 8 is achieved by dividing the roof panel 9, a wide-width (the same width as the frame 4) roof panel in the conventional carport is divided at an appropriate position.
The roof panel 9 can also be used.

Alternatively, the roof panel 9 may be constructed by combining a plurality of panels having a narrow width L4. That is, after the mounting position of the battery panel 8 is determined, the roof panel 9 having the width L1 and the width L2 is configured by combining the panels having the narrow width L4. Also in this case, the battery panel 8 can be arranged at an arbitrary position. In particular, even after the battery panel 8 is once attached, the position of the battery panel 8 is changed by changing the panel position of the narrow width L4. can do.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the configuration shown in the above embodiment, but may be implemented in various forms within the scope of the invention described in the claims. What can be done. Hereinafter, these different embodiments will be described. First, the structure of the frame portion such as the frame body and the horizontal rail is not limited to the structure shown in the above embodiment, and any known structure may be applied. Further, the structure of the roof panel or the battery panel may be different from the above embodiment. In addition, since the appearance of the battery panel and the other roof parts are generally very different, when the battery panel is simply placed near the center of the roof as in the conventional case, only the battery panel stands out and lacks the uniformity of the design. There is a problem that the design as a port is impaired. Therefore, a wide battery panel may be provided on either half of the front and rear sides of the roof body, and the roof body may be configured to have a uniform design on the front and rear sides to improve the design. Note that the intermediate panel and the battery panel may be configured with high strength in consideration of installation in a snowfall area.
