Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of building materials technology, and in particular to a main beam profile for a sunroom. Background Technology
[0002] A sunroom is a non-traditional, transparent structure made of various materials such as steel and aluminum, with glass attached to the frame. It can be used in residential, plant cultivation, and other environments. Currently, the sealing between the glass and the frame of a sunroom is usually achieved by sealing strips or glue. Although this structure is easy to implement, it has a short service life. After a few years of use in an outdoor environment, the glue is prone to aging, leading to leaks in the seal. For sunrooms used in residential environments, leaks can have a significant negative impact on the user experience.
[0003] At the same time, there are situations where multiple glass panels need to be spliced together along the length, and the gaps between the glass panels are difficult to seal effectively with materials such as glue, which affects the user experience. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To avoid the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a main beam profile for sunrooms that facilitates layered glass installation while ensuring leak-proof performance.
[0005] The present invention solves the technical problem by adopting the following technical solution: a main beam profile for building a sunroom, the main beam profile including a first main cavity and a secondary cavity, the secondary cavity including:
[0006] A second main cavity is combined on the upper side of the first main cavity, and the center line of the second main cavity overlaps with that of the first main cavity;
[0007] Combining the two side cavities on the upper side of the first main cavity, the two side cavities are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second main cavity, and an extension frame is provided on the outer side of the second main cavity protruding outward;
[0008] The side cavity has a first sealing frame protruding from its upper end, and the second main cavity has two second sealing frames at its upper end. Both the first and second sealing frames are used to fill the sealing strip.
[0009] In several embodiments, the height of the extension frame is lower than the height of the side cavity.
[0010] In several embodiments, the height of the side cavity is lower than the height of the second main cavity, and the side cavity portion protrudes to the outside of the first main cavity.
[0011] In several embodiments, the extension frame includes an extension plate and a baffle. The extension plate is horizontally arranged and connected to the bottom edge of the side cavity. The baffle is connected to the tail end of the extension plate and has a gap with the side cavity.
[0012] In several embodiments, the first sealing frame is located at the corner of the side cavity, and there is a gap between the first sealing frame and the second main cavity.
[0013] In several embodiments, the two second sealing frames are symmetrically located at the two corners of the second main cavity, and the second sealing frames partially protrude to the outside of the second main cavity.
[0014] In several embodiments, the end of the sub-cavity protrudes to the outside of the end of the first main cavity.
[0015] In several embodiments, a plurality of drainage holes are provided at the end of the sub-cavity.
[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] This invention uses a layered structure of the main beam to connect two layers of glass along the length, provides multiple waterproof seals at the glass joints, and guides and drains water that breaks through the seals, ensuring that no water accumulates at the glass joints and falls into the interior of the building.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] The main beam profile of the sunroom in this embodiment is used in the construction of sunrooms and is generally used as the intermediate profile of the sunroom roof to support the glass 20.
[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the main beam profile in this embodiment is mainly composed of a first main cavity 100 and a secondary cavity 200. The secondary cavity 200 is specifically composed of a second main cavity 210 and a side cavity 220. The second main cavity 210 is attached to the upper side of the first main cavity 100, and the center lines of the second main cavity 210 and the first main cavity 100 overlap. The height and width of the second main cavity 220 are both smaller than those of the first main cavity 100. Correspondingly, the two side cavities 220 are attached to the upper side of the first main cavity 100 and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second main cavity 210.
[0029] Among them, an extension frame 250 is provided on the outer side of the second main cavity 210, and the height of the extension frame 250 is lower than the height of the side cavity 220.
[0030] The extension frame 250 includes an extension plate 251 and a baffle 252. The extension plate 251 is horizontally arranged and connected to the bottom edge of the side cavity 220. The baffle 252 is connected to the tail end of the extension plate 251 and there is a gap between it and the side cavity 220. The position of the baffle 252 is used to overlap other profiles in the sunroom. These profiles are mainly used to support the lower glass 20. A drainage channel is formed through the gap between the extension frame 250 and the side cavity 220.
[0031] A first sealing frame 230 is provided on the upper end of the side cavity 220. The first sealing frame 230 is located at the corner of the side cavity 220. There is a gap between the first sealing frame 230 and the second main cavity 210, which forms a drainage channel.
[0032] Two second sealing frames 240 are provided at the upper end of the second main cavity 210. The two second sealing frames 240 are symmetrically located at the two corners of the second main cavity 210, and the second sealing frames 240 protrude to the outside of the second main cavity 210. A drainage channel is formed by the gap between the two second sealing frames 240.
[0033] The positions of the first sealing frame 230 and the second sealing frame 240 correspond to the positions of the glass 20. When the glass 20 is present, the first sealing frame 230 and the second sealing frame 240 need to be filled with sealing strips 20, such as rubber strips, to compress and seal the glass.
[0034] During installation, the main beam profile is installed at an angle to facilitate drainage.
[0035] Of course, in the actual structure of a sunroom, a profile combined with a sealing strip needs to be installed above the glass 20 to compress the glass 20 from above. This, combined with the main beam profile, seals and fixes the glass 20 from both the top and bottom. The glass 20 is tightly bonded to the sealing strips on the top and bottom surfaces. In this case, rainwater on the upper surface of the glass can only flow down the slope from the top surface to the bottom surface. In extreme cases, a small amount of water may leak into the side through the sealing strip on the upper surface of the glass. However, this water will be small in volume and no longer significantly affected by wind pressure. In this case, a drainage channel is designed right next to the sealing strip, and the sealing strip on the lower surface of the glass prevents this water from flowing into the room. The water here is blocked and can only flow outward through the drainage channel. Even in the rare event of an accident, if the water overflows the sealing strip on the lower surface of the glass, there is another drainage channel, so the water can only flow outward and will not fall into the room.
[0036] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the overlap with other profiles of the sunroom, a certain length is cut off at the end of the first main cavity 100, so that the end of the secondary cavity 200 protrudes to the outside of the end of the first main cavity 100. Thus, a stepped structure is formed at this position, which can be installed by tilting and overlapping other profiles.
[0037] Thus, the main beam profiles are set at an angle, forming a sloping roof frame structure to facilitate drainage, such as... Figure 4 As shown, multiple drainage holes 201 are provided at the end of the sub-cavity 200. The drainage holes 201 correspond to the gaps between the extension frame 250 and the side cavity 220, the gap between the first sealing frame 230 and the second main cavity 210, and the gap between the two second sealing frames 240. They completely penetrate the sub-cavity 200 in the longitudinal direction, so that the water accumulated in the three drainage channels can be discharged through the drainage holes 201.
[0038] Considering that an excessively large Y-axis length would result in excessively long glass that is difficult to handle and assemble, a double-layer structure is adopted. This allows for layered installation of the glass, thereby shortening its length. Furthermore, this invention replaces areas that would normally require caulking with adhesive strips to the greatest extent possible, minimizing reliance on professional caulking technicians and significantly improving installation efficiency. Under the same conditions, the efficiency of adhesive strips is greater than that of caulking. Additionally, in cases of light rain or significant humidity, traditional caulking methods require work to be stopped, while this invention allows for uninterrupted installation.
[0039] Furthermore, when using glue, it is extremely difficult to apply the glue in a way that is both waterproof and aesthetically pleasing. This relies entirely on the skill of the construction workers, and there is always the risk that dust, grease, water, moisture, and even burnt or air bubbles in the glue at the construction site may negatively impact the quality of the finished product. Therefore, the design of this invention can greatly improve the final quality assurance of the product.
[0040] In addition, considering the strong winds, the exposed part of the secondary cavity 200 is sealed with a magnetic cover plate to seal all exposed profile ends. This prevents wind from blowing into the profile and disturbing the water flow, without affecting the normal drainage process.
[0041] The examples, embodiments, and particular forms of the invention illustrated have been shown and described in detail in the accompanying drawings and foregoing description, and should also be considered illustrative rather than restrictive. The description of a particular feature in one embodiment does not imply that those particular features must be limited to that one embodiment. Features of one embodiment can be used in combination with features of other embodiments, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, whether or not explicitly stated. Exemplary embodiments have been shown and described, and all variations and modifications fall within the spirit of the invention and are intended to be protected.
