Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of roof and canopy drainage construction technology, specifically involving organized drainage structures and construction methods for various roof and canopy structural forms. Background Technology

[0002] Drainage methods for building roofs, sunroom roofs, awnings, etc., are divided into free-fall drainage and organized drainage methods, with eaves gutters being the main form of organized drainage. Cast-in-place concrete eaves gutters must be fabricated together with the roof beam structure during roof construction; custom-made stainless steel U-shaped channel eaves gutters or purchased pre-made aluminum alloy or plastic eaves gutters must be installed and fixed to the supporting structure of the awning or sunroom.

[0003] The common characteristics of existing eaves gutter technology are: 1. It must be fixed to the roof or canopy support structure system, which is highly limiting. 2. Whether it is a custom-made or prefabricated eaves gutter, the width of the drip edge is generally ≤20 cm. When the roof panel or canopy panel protrudes more than 20 cm from the support structure, it covers the entire drip edge of the eaves gutter, making the installation of the eaves gutter pointless. 3. Some steel structure glass canopies and sunrooms do not have a horizontal beam parallel to the drip line or have an irregularly shaped beam at the edge of the drip line, which also makes it impossible to install eaves gutters.

[0004] There are no existing technologies or products in the field of eaves gutters that can be directly installed on the edges of roof panels or canopy panels. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a type of eaves gutter that is simple in structure, easy to construct, low in cost, and has good drainage effect.

[0006] This invention relates to an eaves gutter installed on the edge of roof panels or canopy panels. Specifically, it includes an eaves gutter body, supporting components, a water collection inlet, and a drainage chamber. The key feature is that this type of eaves gutter is installed only on the edge of the roof panel material and does not need to be connected and fixed to the structural supporting components of the roof panel or canopy. The drainage chamber of the eaves gutter is suspended from the lower part of the roof panel or canopy panel using the pipe's own structure. An adhesive material is used to install and fix the eaves gutter to the edge of the roof panel or canopy panel through the supporting components. Rainwater flows into the lower part of the drainage chamber of the eaves gutter through the water collection inlet and the opening of the supporting component for organized drainage.

[0007] This invention utilizes existing production lines for circular or square pipes, allowing for expanded manufacturing. Pre-set grooves for roof panels, support components, and water collection inlets are machined onto the side of the pipe using cutting or punching methods. The height of the pre-set grooves is determined based on the thickness of the roof panel and canopy material. Support components for the eaves gutter can be fabricated by bending the original pipe material, making the process simple and quick. During installation, the roof panel is simply inserted into the pre-set groove to a depth of half the total width of the eaves gutter. Adhesive is used to secure the eaves gutter to the roof panel via the support components. Rainwater flows through the water collection inlets and the openings in the support components into the lower drainage chamber of the eaves gutter for organized drainage.

[0008] The present invention can also be manufactured by the manufacturer using molds through extrusion or sheet metal bending processes to produce this professional eaves gutter for the edge of roof panels and awnings. The inner side of the eaves gutter has a pre-set socket support component according to the thickness of the awning or roof panel material. The opening height of the socket support part is reserved for the space of the adhesive material. The adhesive material is used to install and fix it to the edge of the drip line of the roof panel or awning. The eaves gutter drainage cavity is suspended under the roof panel by the strength of the pipe itself. Rainwater flows into the lower part of the drainage cavity of the eaves gutter for organized drainage. The material is aluminum alloy or plastic, and the structure is simple and easy to install.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0016] As shown in the figure, the present invention provides an eaves gutter installed on the edge of the roof panel or canopy panel material, comprising an eaves gutter body (1), support components (5) (9), a water collection port (4), and a drainage cavity (7). The eaves gutter is characterized in that it is installed only on the edge of the roof panel material and does not need to be connected and fixed to the structural load-bearing components (8) of the roof panel or canopy. It is installed and fixed on the roof panel (2) by the eaves gutter itself and the support components using adhesive material (6).

[0017] The present invention can be processed using existing square or round pipe production lines (Figures 2 and 4). By cutting or punching, the pre-set groove of the roof panel (2), the support component (5), and the water collection port (4) are processed on the side of the pipe. The center line of the pre-set groove of the roof panel is located at 1 / 2 the height of the eaves gutter body (1). It is divided equally according to the thickness of the roof board, and the height of the groove is equal to the thickness of the roof board. The width of the support opening (3) is equal to the horizontal width of the square pipe and the diameter of the round pipe. The upper line of the support opening reaches the horizontal top surface of the pipe. The support opening is cut along the upper line and the center line of the opening width. The eaves gutter support component (5) is processed by bending the original pipe material. PVC material needs to be heated and folded inward, and then shaped after cooling. Metal material can be directly cold-bent. The height of the water collection port (4) is ≤2 cm, which has a certain filtering function, and the width is ≤1.5 m. During installation, except for the openings in the support section and the water collection point, all other contact points with the roof panel and canopy panel can be used as support components and fixed to the roof panel with adhesive material.

[0018] The eaves gutters of this invention are directly attached to the edge of the roof panel using an adhesive material. The drainage chamber of the eaves gutter is suspended below the roof panel using the strength of the pipe itself. Rainwater flows into the drainage chamber below the eaves gutter through the collection inlet and the opening of the support section for organized drainage. The diameter of the circular eaves gutter is controlled within 160 mm, and the cross-section of the rectangular pipe is controlled within 10 cm * 15 cm, ensuring safety and reliability.

[0019] The present invention also includes the use of molds to produce this type of special eaves gutter for the edge of the roof panel through extrusion or sheet bending processes, as shown in Figure (5). The side of the eaves gutter has a pre-set socket support component (9) according to the thickness of the roof panel (2). The opening height of the socket support component is reserved for the space required for the adhesive material. The adhesive material is used to install and fix it to the edge of the rain line of the roof panel, and the rainwater flows into the drainage cavity (7) of the eaves gutter for organized drainage. This type of eaves gutter utilizes the material itself to cantilever under the roof panel and is connected to the roof panel by the pre-set socket support component. The material of this eaves gutter is aluminum alloy or plastic. The size of the cantilevered part of the eaves gutter is controlled within 10 cm * 10 cm, and the length of the socket support component is ≥ 5 cm to ensure safety and reliability.
