Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building waterproofing, and more specifically to a conduit for treating water seepage on the top surface of building walls. Background Technology

[0002] Basement roof leaks are one of the most common quality defects in building construction. Currently, the waterproofing approach in most building projects is "prevention first, drainage second." When technicians discover leaks in the basement roof or side walls, the common treatment methods are: trenching repair, reinforcement, and grouting, aiming to repair the seepage channels. However, when these measures fail to effectively stop the seepage, the "prevention first" approach lacks simple and easy-to-implement leak-handling solutions; other methods require significant resources and time and are difficult to implement. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a conduit for treating water seepage on the roof of a building. The use of this conduit can solve the problem of water leakage on the roof of a building and drain the seepage water from the roof.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this invention is:

[0005] A conduit for treating water seepage on the top surface of building walls, comprising a base and a conduit cap.

[0006] The base is provided with a guide hole, a reserved nail hole and a buckle. The guide hole is used to guide water from the top surface of the building wall into the conduit cover. The connector passes through the reserved nail hole and then into the top surface of the building wall to fix the base and the top surface of the building wall. The buckle is used to connect with the conduit cover.

[0007] The conduit cover includes a conduit groove, a rib plate, and a snap-fit ​​groove. The conduit groove is placed under the base to receive water flowing down from the base and to drain the water. One end of the rib plate is connected to the conduit groove, and the other end is connected to the snap-fit ​​groove. The snap-fit ​​groove is adapted to the snap-fit ​​of the base. In use, the snap-fit ​​is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove to connect the base and the conduit cover together.

[0008] According to the above scheme, both the base and the conduit cap are made of flexible material.

[0009] According to the above scheme, the two sides of the base are inclined surfaces, and the base gradually tapers from top to bottom.

[0010] According to the above scheme, the cross-section of the buckle is W-shaped;

[0011] The buckle groove includes a buckle groove body, which has a trapezoidal groove and an opening. The opening communicates with the trapezoidal groove. When connected, the buckle is placed in the trapezoidal groove to connect the base and the guide tube cover together.

[0012] According to the above scheme, the two sides of the buckle groove are inclined surfaces, and the buckle groove gradually decreases in size from top to bottom.

[0013] According to the above scheme, the width of the conduit groove is the same as that of the base.

[0014] According to the above scheme, the two ends of the guide groove are left with appropriate gaps to facilitate water seepage into the inside of the guide pipe, and the two ends of the guide groove are provided with inward barbs to prevent water seepage.

[0015] According to the above scheme, the upper surface of the barb is a downward slope, and the slope of the barb is the same as the slope of the base.

[0016] According to the above scheme, a rib guide groove is obliquely engraved on the rib plate along the preset drainage direction, and a second guide groove is obliquely engraved on the snap-fit ​​groove along the preset drainage direction. The direction of the second guide groove is in line with the rib guide groove; this facilitates the collection of seepage water into the guide groove and discharge in the drainage direction.

[0017] The cross-sectional shape of the conduit cap is formed by the snap-fit ​​groove and the conduit groove. The vertical cross-section of the conduit cap can be designed as a semi-circle, triangle, trapezoid or rectangle according to the aesthetic requirements of the specific project.

[0018] The steps for using the drainage pipe are as follows: 1. Design the location of the guide pipe and drainage riser according to the distribution of seepage points. 2. Arrange the base of the guide pipe and the drainage riser according to the design. 3. Fix the guide pipe to the base using the snap-fit ​​slots and snap-fits, and connect each guide pipe to the drainage riser.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0020] Water seeping from the roof at the contact surface between the base and the base is guided through the drainage holes on the base to the pipe cover, and then the seepage is discharged through the pipe cover. This timely drainage of water seepage from the roof prevents water from accumulating on the side walls of the roof and dripping, thus eliminating the impact of seepage on residents' daily lives.

[0021] The diversion pipe is made of strip-shaped flexible material, which makes it easy to process and continuously lay according to the actual needs of the site;

[0022] The base is used to connect the concrete structure on the top of the wall to the conduit;

[0023] The conduit cap is used to collect and drain water seeping from the top of the wall;

[0024] The conduit and the drainage riser form a drainage system. Through gravity and siphon effect, the water leaking from the ceiling and walls is drawn into the conduit and then converges into the drainage riser to treat the leak. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0032] See Figures 1-3 A conduit for treating water seepage on the top surface of building walls includes a base 1 and a conduit cover 2. Both the base 1 and the conduit cover 2 are made of flexible material, allowing for continuous installation as needed. The flexible material can be PVC, PPR, copper, aluminum-plastic composite, galvanized, etc.

[0033] The base 1 is provided with a guide hole 3, a pre-drilled nail hole 4, and a clip 5. The guide hole 3 is used to guide water from the top surface of the building wall 6 into the conduit cover 2; the connector passes through the pre-drilled nail hole 4 and then into the top surface of the building wall 6 to fix the base 1 and the top surface of the building wall 6; the clip 5 is used to connect with the conduit cover 2. To facilitate the installation of the conduit cover 2 and drainage, the two sides of the base 1 are sloped 11, that is, the base 1 gradually tapers from top to bottom.

[0034] The conduit cover 2 includes a conduit groove 7, a rib plate 8, and a snap-fit ​​groove 9. The conduit groove 7 is placed under the base 1, and its width is the same as that of the base 1. It is used to receive water flowing down from the base 1 and drain the water. One end of the rib plate 8 is connected to the conduit groove 7, and the other end is connected to the snap-fit ​​groove 9. To facilitate drainage, a rib guide groove 13 can be obliquely engraved on the rib plate 8 along a preset drainage direction. The snap-fit ​​groove 9 is adapted to the snap-fit ​​5 of the base 1. In use, the snap-fit ​​5 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 9 to connect the base 1 and the conduit cover 2 together. In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​5 has a W-shaped cross-section. The snap-fit ​​groove 9 includes a snap-fit ​​groove body 9.1, which has a trapezoidal groove 9.2 and an opening 9.3. The opening 9.3 communicates with the trapezoidal groove 9.2. When connected, the snap-fit ​​5 passes through the opening 9.3 and is placed in the trapezoidal groove 9.2 to connect the base 1 and the conduit cover 2 together. Of course, this is just one structure of the opening and the snap-fit ​​groove; other snap-fit ​​structures can also be used in this invention.

[0035] For better drainage, the two sides of the snap-fit ​​groove 9.1 can be designed as slopes 11, that is, the snap-fit ​​groove 9.1 gradually tapers from top to bottom.

[0036] To facilitate water seepage into the conduit, appropriate gaps can be left between the two ends of the conduit groove 7 and the base 1. To prevent water seepage, inward barbs 10 can be provided at both ends of the conduit groove 7. In a preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the barb 10 can be designed as a downward slope 11, and the slope of the barb 10 is the same as the slope of the base 1.

[0037] In order to collect the seepage water into the conduit groove and discharge it in the drainage direction, a second guide groove 12 can be obliquely engraved on the snap groove 9 along the preset drainage direction, and the direction of the second guide groove 12 is connected to the rib guide groove 13.

[0038] The cross-sectional shape of the conduit cover 2 is formed by the snap-fit ​​groove 9 and the conduit groove 7, and can be designed into a semi-circle, triangle, trapezoid or rectangle according to the aesthetic requirements of the specific project.

[0039] When in use, the conduit and the drainage riser form a drainage system, and the water in the conduit flows into the drainage riser.

[0040] In this invention, water seepage at six locations on the top surface of a building wall is collected by a conduit and directed to a drainage riser due to gravity and siphon effect, thus achieving the treatment of water leakage in various types of roof and wall structures. This invention effectively supplements and improves water leakage treatment measures such as repair and sealing.

[0041] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
