Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of construction, in particular to a gutter structure which also serves as a side purlin. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of construction technology, the optimization and functional improvement of building structures have become the focus of the industry. In particular, in roof system design, gutters are key components that guide rainwater drainage. The rationality of their design directly affects the overall performance, safety, and service life of the building.

[0003] Traditional gutter designs often incorporate additional purlins for structural reinforcement or ease of construction. While this practice enhances structural stability to a certain extent, it also introduces the issue of redundant materials. The addition of purlins not only increases construction costs but, in some cases, can lead to resource waste and environmental pollution due to improper design or inappropriate material selection. The connection between the roof and the gutter is a major vulnerability to rainwater leakage and wind damage. Existing connection methods often suffer from insufficient sealing, especially in strong winds. A loose connection can easily lead to rainwater infiltration or structural loosening, compromising the building's waterproofing and overall stability. Furthermore, poor connection design can exacerbate wind loads and reduce the building's wind resistance. The design of the gutter edge is directly related to the efficiency of rainwater collection and drainage. Currently, some gutter designs overlook the importance of edge folds, resulting in splashing of rainwater during discharge due to the impact. This not only impacts the proper functioning of the drainage system but also pollutes the surrounding environment and poses safety risks.

[0004] Therefore, in the current existing technology, there is no gutter that can prevent rainwater from splashing due to impact force during the discharge process. In order to strengthen the gutter structure or meet the convenience of construction, additional purlins are set next to the gutter, which increases the amount of steel used and wastes materials. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art in that rainwater is easily splashed due to impact during discharge, and additional purlins are provided next to the gutter, which increases the amount of steel used and wastes materials. The utility model provides a gutter structure that also serves as a side purlin. By arranging folded edges on the side of the gutter, the folded edges replace the purlins to support the wind-resistant pressure plates, which can reduce the use of supporting materials such as purlins, thereby reducing construction costs, reducing the use and waste of materials, reducing rainwater splashing, and improving drainage efficiency. The folded edges inside the gutter can be conveniently and directly fixed with self-tapping nails to the pressure plates, thereby improving the wind pressure resistance of the roof. The inner folded edges expand the volume of the gutter and increase the water collection area of ​​the gutter.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

The first side panel is provided with an inner folding edge, one end of which is fixedly connected to the top of the first side panel. The inner folding edge also serves as a purlin, replacing the purlin to provide support for the wind-resistant pressure plate. The second side panel is provided with an outer folding edge, one end of which is fixedly connected to the top of the second side panel, and the other end of which extends toward the first side panel. The extension of the outer folding edge can block the splash of rainwater and prevent the splash from flying out of the gutter. The inner folding edge is detachably connected to the wind-resistant pressure plate, which is convenient for replacement and maintenance of the gutter and the roof of the building. The support column is fixedly arranged below the gutter bottom plate. The support column is used to fix and support the gutter and is the main bearing mechanism of the gutter.

[0009] The utility model improves the gutter structure by arranging inner folds to act as purlins, thereby reducing the use of supporting materials such as purlins, thereby reducing construction costs. After designing the outer folds, the gutter will more effectively collect and discharge rainwater, reduce rainwater splashing, improve drainage efficiency, ensure that rainwater is smoothly discharged into the drainage system, and avoid pollution to the surrounding environment.

The first side plate is tilted so that the cross-section of the gutter is trapezoidal with a larger top and a smaller bottom, which can increase the water flow passing through at the same time and improve the water flow carrying capacity of the gutter.

[0014] Preferably, a support plate is provided under the first side panel, and the support plate is fixedly provided on the side of the support column. The top of the support plate is higher than the support column. A connecting plate is also provided, and the connecting plate connects the support column, the support plate and the first side panel respectively. The connecting piece is used to fix and support the first side panel to strengthen the strength of the first side panel.

[0015] The supporting plate and the connecting plate can further enhance the supporting capacity of the first side plate, thereby enhancing the ability of the first side plate to support the top of the building.

[0016] Preferably, the inner folding edge is connected to the wind-resistant plate by screws or self-tapping screws.

[0017] Preferably, the inner folding edge is connected to the wind-resistant plate by self-tapping screws.

[0019] Preferably, a parapet is further provided, wherein the parapet is fixedly connected to the support column and is close to the second side panel.

[0020] Preferably, the height of the parapet is higher than that of the second side panel.

[0021] The parapet is screwed to the support column. It abuts the second side panel, providing support and increasing its strength. The parapet is higher than the second side panel, further preventing rainwater from splashing and enhancing the safety of the gutter structure.
