Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building canopy technology, and more particularly to a building buffer canopy to prevent objects from falling from heights. Background Technology

[0002] Awnings are sunshade and rain protection facilities installed above the entrance of a building or on the balcony. Their original purpose is simply to provide shade and rain protection. However, due to the increasing number of incidents of objects falling from heights in recent years, awnings can play a very important role in buffering and reducing related casualties. Existing building awnings do not have the function of intercepting objects falling from heights. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a building buffer canopy to prevent objects from falling from heights.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A building buffer canopy for preventing falling objects from heights includes a canopy roof panel, a mounting housing installed at one end of the roof panel, and an inclined buffer plate movably mounted on the side of the mounting housing near the roof panel. A diagonal suspension rod is installed on the top of the buffer plate. A buffer airbag is disposed between the roof panel and the buffer plate. A perforation is provided at the top of the roof panel. A first guide rod is installed on the side of the buffer plate near the roof panel to guide the lifting and lowering movement of the buffer plate. The end of the first guide rod away from the buffer plate extends through the perforation to the bottom of the roof panel. A buffer spring is installed inside the buffer airbag to cushion and reset the movement of the buffer plate. The mounting housing... The housing contains an internal shielding airbag, which is connected to the interior of a buffer airbag via a connecting pipe. A lifting plate is mounted on top of the shielding airbag to shield the top opening of the mounting housing. An alarm is mounted on the side of the mounting housing to sound an alarm when a falling object lands on the buffer plate. A guide mechanism is also included to guide the lifting plate's movement. This guide mechanism includes a second guide rod mounted on the side of the lifting plate and a guide housing mounted on the side of the mounting housing, with the second guide rod sleeved over the second guide rod. A pressure sensor is mounted on the side of the guide housing closest to the lifting plate to monitor its upward movement.

[0006] Preferably, the top of the buffer plate is provided with a storage groove, and the inside of the storage groove is movably provided with an anti-slip protrusion; the side of the storage groove is provided with an installation groove, and the side of the anti-slip protrusion is provided with an installation seat, the end of the installation seat away from the anti-slip protrusion extending into the installation groove; a first airbag is installed on the side of the installation groove away from the anti-slip protrusion, and the inside of the first airbag is connected to the inside of the buffer airbag through a connecting pipe.

[0007] Preferably, a first return spring is installed inside the first airbag.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the mounting groove is provided with a first guide groove, and the side of the mounting seat is provided with a first guide component that is adapted to the inside of the first guide groove, for limiting and guiding the movement of the mounting seat and the anti-slip protrusion.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a clamping mechanism for clamping and limiting the side of the first guide rod when the object falling from a height bounces on the buffer plate.

[0010] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a groove formed on the side of the perforation, and a fixed housing is installed inside the groove; a piston rod is installed inside the fixed housing through a second return spring, and a clamping component is installed at one end of the piston rod extending to the outside of the fixed housing; the inside of the fixed housing is connected to the inside of the buffer airbag through a connecting pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the inner wall of the groove is provided with a second guide groove for guiding the movement of the clamping component.

[0012] Preferably, a limiting component is provided at one end of the first guide rod extending to the bottom of the canopy roof to limit the first guide rod.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0014] Install one side of the canopy roof panel to the wall, and fix the end of the diagonal hanger away from the buffer plate to the wall. When a falling object hits the buffer plate, the impact force compresses the buffer airbag downwards, deforming it. The air inside the buffer airbag is then transported through a connecting pipe to the shielding airbag. The inflated shielding airbag extends from the mounting housing and shields the side of the buffer plate, preventing falling objects from sliding off the buffer plate and causing danger. The shielding airbag inflates and pushes the lifting plate upwards. At this time, the pressure sensor cannot detect the pressure from the lifting plate. The pressure sensor sends the pressure information to the processor via a signal line. The processor controls the alarm to sound, alerting people to stay away from the area around the canopy roof panel and prompting staff to check and remove any falling objects intercepted by the shielding airbag on top of the buffer plate, making it safer to use.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 4A building buffer canopy for preventing falling objects from heights includes a canopy top panel 1, an installation housing 8 installed at one end of the canopy top panel 1, and an inclined buffer plate 4 movably installed on the side of the installation housing 8 near the canopy top panel 1; a diagonal suspension rod 7 is installed on the top of the buffer plate 4; a buffer airbag 2 is provided between the canopy top panel 1 and the buffer plate 4; a perforation 21 is opened in the top of the canopy top panel 1; a first guide rod 5 is installed on the side of the buffer plate 4 near the canopy top panel 1 to guide the lifting and lowering movement of the buffer plate 4; the end of the first guide rod 5 away from the buffer plate 4 extends through the perforation to the bottom of the canopy top panel 1; a buffer spring 3 is installed inside the buffer airbag 2 to buffer and reset the movement of the buffer plate 4; and a shielding device is installed inside the installation housing 8. The airbag 9 is connected to the interior of the buffer airbag 2 via a connecting pipe. A lifting plate 11 is installed on the top of the airbag 9 to block the top opening of the mounting housing 8. An alarm 10 is installed on the side of the mounting housing 8 to sound an alarm when a falling object lands on the buffer plate 4. A guide mechanism 12 is also included to guide the lifting of the lifting plate 11. The guide mechanism 12 includes a second guide rod 122 installed on the side of the lifting plate 11 and a guide housing 121 installed on the side of the mounting housing 8. The second guide rod 122 is sleeved on the outside of the guide housing 121. A pressure sensor 13 is installed on the side of the guide housing 121 near the lifting plate 11 to monitor the upward movement of the lifting plate 11.

[0022] One side of the canopy roof panel 1 is installed against the wall, and the end of the inclined suspension rod 7 away from the buffer plate 4 is fixed to the wall. When a falling object falls onto the buffer plate 4, the buffer plate 4 is impacted and squeezes the buffer airbag 2 downwards. The buffer airbag 2 is deformed by the pressure, and the air inside the buffer airbag 2 is transported to the shielding airbag 9 through the connecting pipe. The inflated shielding airbag 9 extends out from the mounting housing 8 and shields the side of the buffer plate 4, blocking the falling object from the buffer plate 4 and preventing it from sliding off the buffer plate 4 and causing danger. The shielding airbag 9 inflates and pushes the lifting plate 11 upwards. At this time, the pressure sensor 13 cannot detect the pressure given by the lifting plate 11. The pressure sensor 13 sends the pressure information to the processor through the signal line. The processor controls the alarm 10 to be activated through the switch, causing the alarm 10 to sound an alarm, reminding people to stay away from the area around the canopy roof panel 1, and also reminding staff to check and clean up the falling object intercepted by the shielding airbag 9 on the top of the buffer plate 4, making it safer to use.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a storage groove 15 is provided on the top of the buffer plate 4, and an anti-slip protrusion 14 is movably disposed inside the storage groove 15; a mounting groove 18 is provided on the side of the storage groove 15, and a mounting seat 16 is provided on the side of the anti-slip protrusion 14, with one end of the mounting seat 16 away from the anti-slip protrusion 14 extending into the mounting groove 18; a first airbag 20 is installed on the side of the mounting groove 18 away from the anti-slip protrusion 14, and the interior of the first airbag 20 is connected to the interior of the buffer airbag 2 via a connecting tube. When a falling object lands on the buffer plate 4, the air inside the buffer airbag 2 is compressed and transported to the first airbag 20 through the connecting pipe. The first airbag 20 inflates and pushes the anti-slip protrusion 14 out of the storage slot 15. The anti-slip protrusion 14 extending to the top of the buffer plate 4 blocks the falling object from the buffer plate 4, slowing down the falling object. When the falling object bounces on the buffer plate 4, the anti-slip protrusion 14 cushions the falling object.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first return spring 19 is installed inside the first airbag 20. After the object falling from the height on the buffer plate 4 is removed, the first return spring 19 pulls the anti-slip protrusion 14 back into the storage groove 15.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the mounting groove 18 is provided with a first guide groove 17, and the side of the mounting base 16 is provided with a first guide component that is adapted to the interior of the first guide groove 17, for limiting and guiding the movement of the mounting base 16 and the anti-slip protrusion 14.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it also includes a clamping mechanism 22, which is used to clamp and limit the side of the first guide rod 5 when the object falling from a height bounces on the buffer plate 4.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the clamping mechanism 22 includes a groove 221 formed on the side of the perforation 21, and a fixed housing 222 is installed inside the groove 221; a piston rod 224 is installed inside the fixed housing 222 via a second return spring 223, and a clamping component 225 is installed at one end of the piston rod 224 extending to the outside of the fixed housing 222; the interior of the fixed housing 222 is connected to the interior of the buffer airbag 2 via a connecting pipe, so that when a falling object from a height lands on the buffer plate 4, the air in the buffer airbag 2 is compressed and connected... The air is delivered to the fixed housing 222 through the pipe. The air entering the fixed housing 222 pushes the piston rod 224, which in turn pushes the clamping component 225 to the side of the first guide rod 5 and clamps and limits the side of the first guide rod 5. This reduces the amplitude of the up-and-down swing of the buffer plate 4 when the object falls from a height and bounces on the buffer plate 4. This prevents the buffer plate 4 from giving the object a reaction force when it swings up and down, which would aggravate the bounce amplitude of the object. This allows the bouncing object to quickly and steadily come down.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a second guide groove 226 is provided on the inner wall of the groove 221 to guide the movement of the clamping component 225.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a limiting component 6 is provided at one end of the first guide rod 5 extending to the bottom of the canopy top plate 1 to limit the first guide rod 5.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the buffer airbag 2, the shielding airbag 9, and the first airbag 20 are all made of rubber, silicone, or other materials. In this embodiment, the buffer airbag 2, the shielding airbag 9, and the first airbag 20 are preferably all made of rubber.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the anti-slip protrusion 14 and the clamping component 225 are both made of rubber, silicone or the like. In this embodiment, the anti-slip protrusion 14 and the clamping component 225 are preferably made of rubber.

[0032] One side of the canopy roof panel 1 is installed against the wall, and the end of the inclined suspension rod 7 away from the buffer plate 4 is fixed to the wall. When a falling object lands on the buffer plate 4, the buffer plate 4 is impacted and squeezes the buffer airbag 2 downwards. The buffer airbag 2 is deformed, and the air inside the buffer airbag 2 is transported to the shielding airbag 9 through the connecting pipe. The inflated shielding airbag 9 extends out from the mounting housing 8 and shields the side of the buffer plate 4, thus preventing falling objects from sliding off the buffer plate 4 and causing danger. In case of danger, the airbag 9 inflates and pushes the lifting plate 11 upwards. At this time, the pressure sensor 13 cannot detect the pressure from the lifting plate 11. The pressure sensor 13 sends the pressure information to the processor via a signal line. The processor controls the activation of the alarm 10 through a switch, causing the alarm 10 to sound an alarm, reminding people to stay away from the area around the canopy roof 1, and also reminding staff to check and clean up any falling objects intercepted by the airbag 9 on the top of the buffer plate 4, making it safer to use. When a falling object falls onto the buffer plate 4, the buffer airbag 2... The air inside is compressed and transported to the first airbag 20 through the connecting pipe. The first airbag 20 inflates and pushes the anti-slip protrusion 14 out of the storage groove 15. The anti-slip protrusion 14 extending to the top of the buffer plate 4 blocks falling objects from the height on the buffer plate 4, slowing down the fall of the falling objects on the buffer plate 4. When the falling objects bounce on the buffer plate 4, the anti-slip protrusion 14 cushions the falling objects. When the falling objects fall onto the buffer plate 4, the air in the buffer airbag 2 is compressed and transported to the solid airbag 2 through the connecting pipe. Inside the fixed housing 222, the air entering the fixed housing 222 pushes the piston rod 224, which in turn pushes the clamping component 225 to the side of the first guide rod 5 and clamps and limits the side of the first guide rod 5. This reduces the amplitude of the up-and-down swing of the buffer plate 4 when the object falls from a height and bounces on the buffer plate 4, under the rebound action of the buffer spring 3. This prevents the buffer plate 4 from giving the object a reaction force when it swings up and down, which would aggravate the amplitude of the bounce of the object. This allows the bouncing object to quickly and steadily come down.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
