Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of rain gutters, in particular to an intelligent anti-freezing rain roof funnel. Background Art

[0002] Existing pressure-flow rainwater scoops primarily consist of a grille, an anti-vortex device, and a scoop body. Under designed operating conditions, roof drainage systems exhibit full pipe flow and rapid drainage. However, during the transition between spring and winter in the vast, cold regions of northern my country, snow on roofs melts during the day, carrying semi-melted snow masses that block the scoop outlets, severely impairing the drainage function of the roof's rainwater drainage system. Rainwater fills gutters and eaves gutters, increasing the load on the roof's gutter strips. Overflowing gutter and eaves gutters affects the building's functionality and product quality. As temperatures cool in the evening, and after nightfall, when the outdoor temperature drops below 0°C, the melted rainwater begins to refreeze. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles create icicles or ice curtains of varying sizes hanging from the outer edges of the guttering, posing a serious safety hazard and potentially life-threatening if they fall.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent discloses "A Snow-Melting Pressure-Flow Rainwater Drain" (Patent No.: CN201010261325.7), which includes a grille cover mounted above the hopper body and an anti-vortex device disposed at the bottom of the hopper body, and the hopper body is provided with a heating device. The disclosed snow-melting pressure-flow rainwater drain can effectively and quickly drain water, especially in winter or the transition period between winter and spring. Even if the outdoor temperature drops below zero degrees Celsius, the drain outlet of the snow-melting pressure-flow rainwater drain will not freeze, and the drain function of the rainwater drain will remain normal.

[0004] However, although the above patent can melt snow, it is slow to take effect on some relatively heavy ice and snow, and it is easy to waste energy by simply driving the heating by electricity. It does not effectively utilize the special environment where the rainwater bucket is set on the roof and is easily exposed to sunlight. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent anti-freezing rain roof funnel, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the rain gutter 1 includes a rain shield assembly 5 and two reverse blower assemblies 12. The rain shield assembly 5 is arranged at the top of the rain gutter 1, and the two reverse blower assemblies 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rain gutter 1 with the rain gutter 1 as the center. The reverse blower assemblies 12 are connected to the rain gutter 1. The rain shield assembly 5 includes multiple flip assemblies 7, a support ring seat 9 and a rotating seat 2. The support ring seat 9 is mounted on the top opening of the rain gutter 1, and the rotating seat 2 is arranged on the support ring seat 9. Multiple flip assemblies 7 are hinged to the rotating seat 2 at equal angles with the rotating seat 2 as the center.

[0026] See also Figure 4-5As can be seen, the flip assembly 7 comprises a rotating rod 3, an iron upright 4, and a magnetic sliding ramp 8. The upright 4 is hinged to the rotating base 2, and the sliding ramp 8 is tilted and slidably engaged with the upright 4. The rotating rod 3 is located outside the upright 4, with its bottom hinged to the upright 4. The movable end of the rotating rod 3 contacts the sliding ramp 8.

[0027] The flip assembly 7 further includes a filling block 6 and a top block 16. The top block 16 is arranged on the top of the sliding inclined plate 8, and the filling block 6 is arranged on the side of the sliding inclined plate 8. Two adjacent top blocks 16 and filling blocks 6 are in contact with each other.

[0028] The rotating rod 3, the iron upright 4, and the magnetic sliding inclined plate 8 cooperate to enable the present invention to have the function of snapping and detaching the rain shield. When it rains, it can be snapped together to block the entry of garbage into the pipe and cause blockage. When sunlight needs to be allowed into the pipe, it can be detached to allow sunlight to enter, accelerating the melting rate.

[0029] The rain shield assembly 5 also includes a telescopic rod 18 and a ring sleeve 19, and the telescopic rod 18 is arranged on the support ring seat 9. The ring sleeve 19 is arranged on the movable end of the telescopic rod 18, and the ring sleeve 19 is movably sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 3.

[0030] See also Figure 6 As can be seen, the reverse blower assembly 12 comprises a housing 10, a blower 11, two chute holders 13, and a magnetic rack 23. The housing 10 is in communication with the side of the rain gutter 1, and the blower 11 is mounted within the housing 10. The blower 11's air outlet aligns with the rain gutter 1, and the two chute holders 13 are spaced apart from each other at one end near the rain gutter 1. The two chute holders 13 are symmetrically positioned within the housing 10, and the rack 23 is a sliding fit within the chute holders 13.

[0031] The reverse blower assembly 12 also includes a motor 22, a gear 17, a flap 20, and two iron curved plates 21. The motor 22 is housed within the housing 10, with the gear 17 located at the output of the motor 22. The gear 17 meshes with a rack 23, and the flap 20 is hinged at the junction of the housing 10 and the rain gutter 1. The two curved plates 21 are hinged to the flap 20, with the rack 23 and the curved plates 21 attracting each other.

[0032] By cooperating with each other, the motor 22, gear 17, flap 20 and two iron arc-shaped plates 21 can be folded and stowed when blowing is not needed to prevent normal drainage. When needed, they can be extended and spread out at the same time to form a guide plate to change the wind direction.

[0033] It also includes a support frame 14 and a heating sleeve 15, and the heating sleeve 15 is arranged on the inner wall of the rain water bucket 1. The support frame 14 is arranged at the bottom of the heating sleeve 15, and the arc plate 21 and the flap 20 correspond to the bottom of the support frame 14.

[0034] Working Principle: During use, when encountering freezing rain or rising temperatures, heating sleeve 15 can be used to heat and melt the ice blocking the pipe opening. Simultaneously, when exposed to sunlight, telescopic rod 18 can be retracted, so that rotating rod 3 no longer blocks the position of sliding inclined plate 8, forcing the sliding inclined plate 8 to move diagonally downward, thereby exposing the pipe opening. This allows direct sunlight to reach the pipe opening and increase the temperature around it, accelerating melting. At the same time, because the bottom end of sliding inclined plate 8 is mutually attracted to rotating rod 3, when telescopic rod 18 is extended, annular sleeve 19 squeezes rotating rod 3 to restore it, forcing sliding inclined plate 8 to return to its original position.

[0035] When the snow melting operation is performed, the motor 22 works, forcing the rack 23 to squeeze and move freely on the back of the arc plate 21, unfolding the arc plate 21 and placing it on the support frame 14. At this time, the blower 11 discharges air to spray the garbage and crushed ice originally at the pipe mouth directly out of the pipe mouth and the opened rain shield mouth without falling through the pipe.

[0036] In summary, the intelligent anti-freezing rain roof funnel, through the coordinated arrangement of the rainwater bucket 1, the rain shield assembly 5, and the two reverse blower assemblies 12, provides anti-freezing rain protection, effectively preventing the temporary loss of rainwater clearing due to ice and snow blocking the pipe opening. This facilitates user use and accelerates the breakage of ice and snow from the pipe opening through air pressure circulation.
