Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an automatic balancing soft roof drainage method and a device thereof. Background Art
[0002] Soft roof structures are often used in engineering projects. Traditional unsupported soft roofs require a large inclination angle to achieve smooth drainage. Otherwise, a hard support must be set up under the soft roof to ensure drainage. Otherwise, water accumulation will cause the soft roof to be crushed. The reason is that when the soft roof is in the rain, rainwater flows from the high beam end to the low beam end, causing the soft roof near the low beam end to form a water-retaining groove (such as Figure 3 After continuous rain, as the amount of water increases, without support underneath the soft roof, the mass distribution of the water and the soft roof itself changes, the groove for storing water will continue to expand, and the center of gravity of the water will continue to move toward the high beam (as shown). Figure 4 As shown in the figure, since the accumulated water cannot be drained away, when it exceeds the bearing limit of the soft top, the soft top will be damaged. Summary of the Invention
[0003] An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic balancing soft roof drainage method, which can effectively achieve large-area, small-angle, and unsupported drainage of a soft roof with a simple structure.
[0004] Another object of the present invention is to provide an automatic balancing soft roof drainage device, which can effectively achieve large-area, small-angle, unsupported drainage of the soft roof with a simple structure and is easy to use.
[0005] In order to realize the automatic balancing soft top drainage method, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: the automatic balancing soft top drainage method, the water falling on the soft top flows from the high beam end to the low beam end, the lower end of the soft top includes a hollow upper layer and a lower layer provided with a groove, the water passes through the hollow upper layer and collects in the groove of the lower layer, the water level rises, and under the combined action of the weight of the water itself, the tension of the upper and lower layers of the soft top and the deformation force of the soft top, the position of the center of gravity of the accumulated water in the groove moves a small amount toward the high beam end. When the liquid level exceeds the low beam, the water is discharged from above the low beam, thereby realizing the automatic balance of the water intake and drainage of the groove.
[0006] In order to realize an automatic balancing soft top drainage device, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a self-balancing soft top drainage device includes a soft top and a base, a high beam and a low beam are respectively arranged at both ends of the top of the base, the upper end of the soft top is arranged on the high beam, and the lower end of the soft top includes a hollow upper layer and a lower layer with a groove. The upper ends of the upper layer and the lower layer are connected, and their lower ends are jointly arranged on the same horizontal plane of the low beam or respectively arranged on two high and low horizontal planes of the low beam. The soft top is tensioned by the upper layers of its upper end and lower end.
[0007] The material used to make the soft top is waterproof cloth.
[0008] Advantageous Effects of the Invention
[0009] The present invention employs a soft top that is divided into a hollowed-out upper layer and a lower layer with grooves near one end of the low beam. The upper layer is used to tighten the soft top, resulting in a simple structure. When the soft top is exposed to rain, rainwater flows from the high beam end to the low beam end of the soft top. Since the upper layer is a hollow structure, water can freely flow into the lower layer and collect in the grooves. Due to the combined effects of the weight of the water itself and the tension and deformation of the two ends of the soft top, the water level collected in the grooves rises, and the position of the center of gravity of the accumulated water also moves from the low beam to the high beam. Due to the tension exerted by the hollowed-out upper layer on the grooves, the amount of movement is small and the water remains within the lower layer and remains near the low beam. When the liquid level exceeds the low beam, the water is discharged from above the low beam. At this time, the amount of water flowing into the grooves is consistent with the amount of water flowing out of the grooves, achieving a balanced inflow and outflow of water. The drainage of the soft top remains unobstructed, and it is convenient to use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] The automatic balancing soft roof drainage method and the automatic balancing soft roof drainage device of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0016] Example 1
[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, the automatic balancing soft top drainage system comprises a soft top 1 and a base 4, with a high beam 5 and a low beam 6 mounted on the base 4. The ends of the soft top 1 are fixed to the high beam 5 and the low beam 6, respectively. The end of the soft top 1 near the low beam 6 is divided into a hollow upper layer 3 and a lower layer 2 with a groove. The upper layer 3 and the upper end of the soft top 1 work together to tension the soft top 1. The hollow structure of the upper layer allows water to flow freely to the lower layer 2. The groove is made of the same material as the upper layer, but is created because the lower layer 2 is looser than the upper layer 3. The lower ends of the upper layer 3 and the lower layer 2 are both located on the top surface of the low beam 6.
[0018] like Figure 2 As shown, when the soft top is exposed to rain, rainwater flows from the high beam 5 to the low beam, continuously collecting in the groove. Due to the combined effects of the water's own weight, the tension at both ends of the soft top, and the resulting deformation, the water level in the groove rises, and the center of gravity of the accumulated water in the groove also moves from the low beam 6 to the high beam 5. However, the tension of the upper layer 3 keeps it near the low beam 6 and prevents it from moving toward the high beam 5. When the water level gradually rises and exceeds the low beam 6, the water will be discharged from above the low beam 6. The amount of water entering the groove is equal to the amount of water discharged, thus achieving automatic balance and ensuring smooth drainage of the soft top 1.
[0019] Example 2
[0020] like Figure 5 As shown, the automatic balancing soft top drainage device includes a soft top 1 and a base 4. The base 4 has a high beam 5 and a low beam 6. The low beam 6 is provided with a high connection point 7 and a low connection point 8, each located on two horizontal planes. One end of the soft top 1 is fixed to the high beam 5. Its other end, near the low beam 6, is divided into a hollow upper layer 3 and a lower layer 2 with a groove. The hollow upper layer 3 is connected to the high connection point 7, holding the soft top 1 taut. The lower layer 2 is connected to the low connection point 8 of the low beam 6. Because the lower layer 2 is looser than the upper layer 3, the groove is formed. When the soft top 1 is exposed to rain, rainwater flows from the high beam 5 to the low beam 6, collecting in the groove. As the water level gradually rises with time, the center of gravity of the accumulated water in the groove shifts from the low beam 6 to the high beam 5. However, the tension of the upper layer 3 keeps the water near the low beam 6. When the water level exceeds the lower connection point 8 of the low beam 6, the water will be discharged from the low beam 6, and the water flowing into the groove of the soft top 1 and the water flowing out of the groove will reach a balance, thereby ensuring smooth drainage of the soft top 1.
