Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of roof insulation technology, specifically relating to a steel structure roof gutter insulation structure. Background Technology
[0002] Nowadays, more and more villas, factories, and other buildings are designed with pitched roofs, and their internal gutters tend to use prefabricated metal gutters. A gutter refers to the recessed area between the two sides of a building's roof. Roof drainage is divided into organized drainage and unorganized drainage. Organized drainage generally collects rainwater into gutters before it is discharged through downpipes; the channel that collects rainwater is called a gutter. However, most gutters are designed without waterproofing or insulation, or only have waterproofing. This results in a short lifespan for metal internal gutters. Once leaks occur, they cause irreversible damage such as corrosion to the metal internal gutters, leading to more serious leaks later. Replacement is also relatively costly and technically challenging.
[0003] The existing gutters lack internal insulation, which can easily create a "cold bridge" effect. This causes condensation to form on the indoor base of the gutters during cold seasons, resulting in dripping water and corrosion of the gutters themselves. Furthermore, when the temperature is too high, the steel structure of the gutters can easily deform, leading to damage and rendering them unusable. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the inventors, through practice and summarization, derived the technical solution of this invention. This invention discloses a steel structure roof gutter insulation structure. The insulation structure includes a grooved plate, two connecting guide plates located on both sides of the top of the grooved plate, and insulation components installed on the left and right sides of the grooved plate. The grooved plate has a U-shaped structure with its two sides inclined outwards, and multiple connecting blocks are provided between the grooved plate and the connecting guide plates. The bottom end of the connecting guide plates is inclined inwards towards the grooved plate. The insulation component includes an insulation layer, a heat insulation layer, and an expansion layer arranged sequentially, an expansion base block fixedly connected to the bottom end of the heat insulation layer, and a sealing sheet fixedly connected to the side of the heat insulation layer. The expansion layer includes multiple folded sheet-like layers arranged parallel to one side of the heat insulation layer, and the multiple folded sheet-like layers form an expansion plate. The other side of the expansion plate contacts and abuts against the grooved plate. The expansion base block has an opening, and the sealing sheet is located on the expansion base block and cooperates with the opening.
[0005] More preferably, the bottom of the grooved plate is provided with a water storage component, the water storage component including a water storage block connected to the middle of the bottom end of the grooved plate, and a plurality of support strips symmetrically arranged on both sides of the water storage block.
[0006] More preferably, a water guiding component is provided between the expansion layer and the water storage block. The water guiding component includes two water guiding strips respectively connected to both sides of the water storage block, and a water guiding plate vertically connected to the expansion layer and arranged parallel to the heat insulation layer.
[0007] More preferably, the water guide strip has an arc-shaped structure, with its ends inclined upwards.
[0008] More preferably, the front end of the trench plate is provided with a heating component, the heating component including a mounting column, a solar panel fixedly mounted on the upper end of the mounting column, a heating plate mounted on the bottom of the trench plate, and a wire connecting the heating plate and the mounting column.
[0009] More preferably, the grooved plate has a slot at its bottom, and the heating plate is installed in the slot.
[0010] More preferably, a temperature difference detector is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting column, and the temperature difference detector is connected to a wire.
[0011] More preferably, a waterproofing plate is provided on the side of the insulation layer away from the heat insulation layer, and the waterproofing plate is connected to the roof and is made of concrete.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:
[0013] 1. When the temperature of the gutter slab is too high, the expansion layer on the side absorbs a large amount of heat. Both the expansion base and the expansion layer are supported by building materials with thermal expansion and contraction properties. When the temperature is too high, the expansion base and the expansion layer will expand, thereby separating the heat insulation layer and the heat insulation layer on the side. This ensures that heat is not conducted out in large quantities, and conducts and cools the heat, thus ensuring the normal use of the gutter. When the temperature is too low, the temperature difference detector will control the internal switch to start the heating plate for heating and heat preservation, ensuring the overall temperature of the gutter and preventing deformation of the gutter.
[0014] 2. Energy is collected through solar panels, reducing energy inefficiency and playing an environmentally friendly role; electricity is conducted through wires to activate the heating plate, heating the entire trench plate, thereby increasing the temperature of the trench plate and heating the water vapor in the entire water storage component. Due to the high specific heat capacity of water, a large amount of heat is stored, which plays a role in continuous heat preservation and extends the heat preservation time.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.
[0021] The application principle of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0022] Example
[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a steel structure roof gutter insulation structure comprises a grooved plate 1, connecting blocks 2, connecting guide plates 3, insulation components 4, water storage components 5, water guiding components 6, heating components 7, temperature difference detectors 8, and a waterproof membrane 9. The grooved plate 1 has a U-shaped structure with its two sides inclined outwards. There are eight connecting blocks 2, which are symmetrically installed on the top of both sides of the grooved plate 1, with four connecting blocks 2 on one side arranged at equal intervals. There are two connecting guide plates 3, which are fixedly connected to the multiple connecting blocks 2 on the top of both sides of the grooved plate 1, and the bottom end of the connecting guide plate 3 is inclined towards the inside of the grooved plate 1.
[0024] The insulation component 4 is installed on the outside of the left and right sides of the grooved plate 1, and is composed of an insulation layer 41, a heat insulation layer 42, an expansion layer 43, an expansion base block 44, and a sealing sheet 45. The insulation layer 41, the heat insulation layer 42, and the expansion layer 43 are connected in sequence, and the expansion layer 43 is composed of multiple folded sheet-like layers arranged parallel to one side of the heat insulation layer (42). The multiple folded sheet-like layers form an expansion plate, and the other side of the expansion plate contacts and abuts against the grooved plate 1. The expansion base block 44 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the heat insulation layer 42, and has an opening in the middle. The sealing sheet 45 is fixedly connected to the side of the heat insulation layer 42 and is located above the expansion base block 44 to seal the opening.
[0025] When the temperature of the gutter plate 1 is too high, the expansion layer 43 on the side absorbs a large amount of heat. At the same time, both the expansion base block 44 and the expansion layer 43 are supported by building materials with thermal expansion and contraction properties. When the temperature is too high, both the expansion base block 44 and the expansion layer 43 will expand, thereby separating the heat insulation layer 41 and the heat insulation layer 43 on the side, ensuring that heat is not conducted out in large quantities. Due to the expansion, the opening of the expansion base block 44 opens and is cooled by the water vapor below. The sealing sheet 45 is set to restrict the movement of water vapor, effectively realizing the conduction and cooling of heat, thereby ensuring the normal use of the gutter.
[0026] The water storage component 5 is located at the bottom of the trench plate 1 and is mainly used to reduce the internal temperature of the insulation components 4 on both sides. The bottom surface of the trench plate 1 has a specially adjusted water-proof layer, and the water storage component 5 below is used for cooling and insulation of the entire trench plate 1 without affecting the trench plate 1. The water storage component 5 consists of multiple support bars 51 and water storage blocks 52. The water storage blocks 52 are located in the middle of the bottom end of the trench plate 1 and are made of sponge or other water-absorbing materials. One end of the water storage block 52 is connected to the water inlet end, so as to ensure that water can be replenished inside the water storage block 52 during rainy days. Multiple support bars 51 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the water storage block 52 to support the trench plate 1.
[0027] The water guiding component is disposed between the expansion layer 43 and the water storage block 52, and is mainly used to guide the water inside the water storage block 52 into the expansion layer 43. The water guiding component consists of two water guiding strips 6 and a water guiding plate. The two water guiding strips 6 have an arc-shaped structure and are inclined upward at the ends. They are symmetrically installed on both sides of the water storage block 52. The water guiding plate is vertically connected to the expansion layer 43 and is arranged parallel to the heat insulation layer 42. Since the expansion layer 43 will expand and contract when the temperature is too high, the expansion base block 44 will cause the water guiding plate to contact the water guiding strips 6 during the expansion process. Thus, the water inside the water storage block 52 is guided into the water guiding plate through the water guiding strips 6, thereby filling the expansion layer with water vapor and cooling the side of the groove plate 1.
[0028] The heating component 7 is located at the front end of the trench plate 1 and is mainly used to heat the trench plate 1, thereby increasing its temperature and preventing the entire trench plate 1 from cooling down during rain or snow, which would cause condensation on the indoor base of the gutter, resulting in dripping water and corrosion of the gutter itself. The heating component 7 consists of a mounting column 71, a solar panel 72, a heating plate 73, and a wire 74. The bottom of the trench plate 1 has a slot, and the heating plate 73 is installed inside the slot. The wire 74 connects the heating plate 73 and the mounting column 71. The solar panel 72 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting column 71. The solar panel 72 collects energy, reducing energy inefficiency and playing an environmental protection role. The wire 74 conducts electricity, thereby activating the heating plate 73 to heat the entire trench plate 1, thereby increasing its temperature. At the same time, it heats the water vapor at the location of the water storage component 5. Since water has a high specific heat capacity, it stores a lot of heat, which plays a role in continuous heat preservation and extends the heat preservation time.
[0029] The temperature difference detector 8 is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting column 71 and connected to the wire 74. It is mainly used to control the conductivity of the wire 74. The temperature difference detector 8 is a commonly available detector. The temperature is measured by the temperature difference detector 8. When the temperature is too low, the temperature difference detector 8 will control the internal switch to start the heating plate 73 for heating and heat preservation, so as to ensure the overall temperature of the gutter and prevent the gutter from deforming. The waterproof plate 9 is installed on the side of the insulation layer 41 away from the heat insulation layer 42 and is connected to the roof. It is made of concrete and is used for external support and waterproofing.
