Detailed Embodiments

[0031] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments.

[0032] See Figures 1 - 7 As shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, a roof platform with a water storage function is proposed, which includes a water storage frame 1. A water storage cavity 2 that circulates and penetrates is provided inside the water storage frame 1. At the same time, a plurality of horizontal pipes 3 evenly distributed at intervals along the first direction and / or along the second direction are installed on the water storage frame 1. The horizontal pipe 3 has an inner cavity 4, and the inner cavity 4 communicates with the water storage cavity 2. Here, the first direction and the second direction are different. Thus, the horizontal pipes 3 can be evenly distributed along the length direction or the width direction of the water storage frame 1, or evenly distributed along the length direction and the width direction at the same time. On the one hand, it has loading points for carrying luggage, and on the other hand, it can increase the water storage capacity of the water storage frame 1, effectively utilize the roof space to integrate the two functions of water storage and luggage loading at the same time.

[0033] Through the connected water storage cavity 2 and inner cavity 4, a relatively large water storage capacity is achieved on the entire roof platform, which can adapt to the storage of outdoor domestic water. At the same time, through the water storage frame 1 and the horizontal pipes 3, the luggage is carried and fixed, and there is a relatively large loading space, which can carry more luggage.

[0034] In order to facilitate heat exchange and heating of the stored water, domestic water can use hot water. The water storage frame 1 has a first inclined surface 5 at the top and a second inclined surface 6 at the bottom. The first inclined surface 5 and the second inclined surface 6 face each other and extend obliquely outwards. Through the obliquely extending first inclined surface 5, a larger solar illumination area can be received, improving the heat exchange efficiency and heating the stored water inside. And the obliquely extending second inclined surface 6 can utilize the heat energy reflected by the roof, further improving the roof heat energy utilization efficiency and ensuring the heating of the stored water inside. The specific inclined surface angle is 10 degrees, and a fillet treatment is performed at the corner to ensure beauty, reduce wind resistance and take into account a relatively large water tank capacity.

[0035] In order to ensure good heat exchange effect, the materials of the water storage frame 1 and the horizontal pipes 3 are aluminum profiles, and a black film is plated on the surface to improve the heat absorption effect and the heat conduction effect, and shorten the time for heating the stored water inside.

[0036] At the same time, an inlet and outlet 7 for filling water into or discharging water from the inside is provided on the water storage frame 1. By setting the inlet and outlet 7, it is convenient to supplement the water volume inside and also discharge water for external use.

[0037] In order to monitor the state of the internally heated water, a temperature sensor is also integrated on the water storage frame 1 to monitor the heating temperature of the internal water and ensure safe use. At the same time, a pressure relief valve and an inflation valve are integrated on the water storage frame 1. Both the pressure relief valve and the inflation valve are arranged at the water inlet and outlet 7. When the internal water heating causes an increase in the internal pressure, the pressure relief valve relieves the pressure to maintain the internal air pressure stable. When the internal air pressure is insufficient, the inflation valve is used to inflate to maintain the internal air pressure stable, ensuring that there is sufficient pressure when draining water outward and ensuring smooth drainage outward.

[0038] The water inlet and outlet 7 can be arranged at the four corner positions of the entire water storage frame 1, which does not affect the overall structure and can separate the inlet and outlet of water. For example, by connecting a water gun at the outlet position, water can be directly discharged outward through the water gun for use.

[0039] The entire roof platform is installed on the roof. A spoiler can be integrated on the water storage frame 1 to reduce wind resistance, so that the vehicle driving is not affected after installing the roof platform.

[0040] In order to facilitate the installation of the horizontal pipe 3 and the internal water diversion, an installation groove 101 extending circumferentially and opening inward is provided on the water storage frame 1. Sealing connection ends 8 matching the horizontal pipe 3 are installed at intervals in the installation groove 101. The sealing connection end 8 includes a connection portion 81. A first insertion portion 82 and a second insertion portion 83 are provided on the connection portion 81. The first insertion portion 82 and the second insertion portion 83 are communicated. The first insertion portion 82 is hermetically communicated with the water storage cavity 2, and the second insertion portion 83 is hermetically inserted into the horizontal pipe 3. The water storage frame 1 and the horizontal pipe 3 are connected through the sealing connection end 8, and the water storage cavity 2 and the inner cavity 4 are communicated by using the internally connected first insertion portion 82 and second insertion portion 83, and a sealed connection is achieved at the connection position.

[0041] In order to ensure the sealing effect at the connection, a first sealing ring 84 is specifically sleeved on the first insertion portion 82. First sealing grooves 85, 86 and 87 are provided at intervals on the second insertion portion 83. At least two first sealing members are provided in the first sealing groove 85, the second sealing groove 86 and the third sealing groove 87. The first sealing member can adopt an O-ring or sealant. Specifically, at least two sealing methods are used in the above three sealing grooves to ensure the sealing performance at the connection position.

[0042] In order to facilitate the clamping connection of straps and other structures on the horizontal pipe 3, a plurality of connection grooves 31 are provided on the horizontal pipe 3. The cross-section of the connection groove 31 can be an inverted "T" shape. At the same time, a plurality of grooves 32 are provided at intervals on the surface of the horizontal pipe 3 to increase the friction when loading luggage by using the grooves 32.

[0043] Specifically, the water storage frame 1 includes a first pipe body 102 and two second pipe bodies 103 arranged at intervals. A corner pipe body 104 is connected between the adjacent first pipe body 102 and the second pipe body 103. The first pipe body 102, the second pipe body 103 and the corner pipe body 104 communicate with each other to form the water storage cavity 2. The water inlet / outlet 7 is arranged on the corner pipe body 104. Thus, the water inlet / outlets 7 are provided at all four corners, which is convenient for separating water replenishment and water discharge. At the same time, a sealing plug 105 is provided on the water inlet / outlet 7. As Figure 8 shown, the sealing plug 105 includes a cover body 1051 and a threaded structure 1052 provided on the cover body 1051. A stepped hole 1053 for installing a pressure relief valve and an inflation valve is opened on the cover body 1051. The small hole of the stepped hole 1053 is a threaded hole, and the pressure relief valve and the inflation valve are locked and installed through the threaded hole. At the same time, two symmetrical pressure relief grooves 1054 are provided on the threaded structure. Before filling water into the water storage cavity 2, after rotating the entire sealing plug 105 by a certain angle, the pressure relief groove 1054 is communicated with the water storage cavity 2 for pressure relief. Under the limiting action of the threaded structure 1052, during the internal pressure relief process, the risk of the sealing plug 105 being ejected and hurting people when opened is avoided. After the internal pressure is relieved to a safe condition, the entire sealing plug 105 is completely disassembled, and water is filled into the interior through the water inlet / outlet 7, so as to ensure safety during the water filling process.

[0044] Specifically, two connecting rings 1055 that extend upward and are arranged at intervals are further provided on the cover body 1051. The connecting rings are used to tie the ropes for binding luggage, or an anti-loss rope is tied to the connecting rings 1055 to prevent the entire sealing plug 105 from being lost. At the same time, the pressure relief valve and the inflation valve installed inside are protected by the two connecting rings 1055 and will not be damaged by collision or accidentally touched.

[0045] It should be noted that the sealing plugs at the corresponding positions can be disassembled or kept in sealed connection according to the specific water filling and discharging positions.

[0046] Among them, the lowest point of the water inlet / outlet 7 is located below the highest point of the water storage cavity 2. After adding water, an air chamber is naturally formed. When the water is heated by the sun and expands, an expansion position is reserved, which plays a safety role and has a stable internal pressure, satisfies the smooth discharge of the internal water outward, and keeps the internal air pressure stable.

[0047] Among them, the upper surfaces of the first pipe body 102, the upper surface of the second pipe body 103, and the upper surface of the corner pipe body 104 form a first inclined plane 5, while the lower surfaces of the first pipe body 102, the lower surface of the second pipe body 103, and the lower surface of the corner pipe body 104 form a second inclined plane 6; among them, surface grooves of various shapes are provided on the upper surface and the lower surface of the corner pipe body 104 for decoration and enhancing the structural strength.

[0048] Specifically, at the same time, in order to improve the sealing effect, multiple sealing structures 106 are provided between the corner pipe body 104 and the first pipe body 102 and the second pipe body 103. The multiple sealing structures 106 include insertion parts 107 provided at both ends of the corner pipe body 104. The insertion parts 107 are inserted and matched with the first pipe body 102 or the second pipe body 103. Fourth sealing grooves 108, fifth sealing grooves 109, and sixth sealing grooves 110 are arranged at intervals on the insertion parts 107. At least two types of second sealing parts are provided in the fourth sealing grooves 108, the fifth sealing grooves 109, and the sixth sealing grooves 110. By arranging the fourth sealing grooves 108, the fifth sealing grooves 109, and the sixth sealing grooves 110 at intervals, triple sealing is formed, and two types of sealing parts are used to seal at different positions at the same time, improving the sealing effect and reliability. Since the water in the water storage cavity 2 will increase in pressure after being heated, the above multiple sealing structure 106 can adapt to the internal pressure change to ensure the sealing effect. The second sealing part can adopt an O-ring or sealant. Specifically, at least two sealing methods are used in the above three sealing grooves to ensure the sealing performance of the connection position.

[0049] Since the internal water flow is affected by the movement of the vehicle, water wave impact noise will be generated. To solve this phenomenon, at least one anti-wave block 9 is arranged at intervals in the water storage frame 1 and the cross pipe 3. The anti-wave block 9 buffers the water flow, thereby avoiding the generation of water waves and effectively reducing the noise.

[0050] Specifically, the anti-wave block 9 includes a block body 91 adapted to the cross section of the water storage cavity 2 or the inner cavity 4. Through holes 92 are provided on the block body 91, and notches 93 are provided on the block body 91 along the circumferential direction. The internal water circulation is ensured through the through holes 92 and the notches 93. However, since the circulation volume is small, the water wave is buffered and the situation of hitting the inner wall will not occur, effectively reducing the noise.
