[0002] Pavement drainage is an important component of road engineering. Its main purpose is to quickly remove road surface, surface runoff and various urban wastewater, prevent water accumulation, lower excessively high groundwater levels and remove water that has seeped into the pavement structure layer and roadbed, so as to ensure the stability of the roadbed and extend the service life of the road surface.

[0003] The most common road drainage system is the rain grate, an open grid-like structure designed to cover a rainwater outlet or drain. It features numerous small holes or a grid structure. When surface water flows into the grate, it can easily carry debris such as leaves and garbage into or onto the surface, reducing drainage performance. Conventional treatment involves opening the grate with specialized tools and cleaning out the debris. Cleaning is more frequent during the rainy season. When flooded by rainwater, the grate is subject to pressure, making it difficult to open. Furthermore, an open grate can become an obstruction on the road, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the present application provides a retractable grate that covers the top of a rainwater outlet or a drain outlet for surface drainage. The retractable grate 100 includes an outer frame 1, spacers 2, and a connecting rope 3. The outer frame 1 is a frame structure with a hollow center that provides support for the grate 100. The connecting rope 3 is connected to the outer frame 1 at both ends and is used to connect multiple spacers 2. The spacers 2 are sleeved on the outside of the connecting rope 3. The multiple spacers 2 are connected in series through the connecting rope 3 and placed in the outer frame 1, forming a mesh grate with the outer frame 1 for filtering debris such as leaves and garbage. At the same time, the outer frame 1 provides support for the spacers 2.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer frame 1 includes a crossbeam 11, a longitudinal beam 12, connection holes 13, and a groove 14. The crossbeam 11 is a plate-like structure, and there are two of them, located on both sides of the outer frame 1. The longitudinal beam 12 is perpendicular to the crossbeam 11, and both ends of the longitudinal beam 12 are connected to the crossbeam 11. There are multiple longitudinal beams 12, which are evenly distributed between the crossbeams 11. The longitudinal beams 12 and the crossbeam 11 are an integrated structure, and the two are combined to form the outer frame 1 with a hollow interior. The crossbeam 11 is provided with connection holes 13, which are used to fix the connection ropes 3. The number of connection holes 13 is adapted according to the number of connection ropes 3. The longitudinal beam 12 is provided with a groove 14, whose opening direction is consistent with the axial direction of the crossbeam 11 and passes through the longitudinal beam 12. The longitudinal beams 12 at either end of the crossbeam 11 have only one groove 14, which opens toward the interior of the outer frame 1. The longitudinal beam 12 between the ends of the crossbeam 11 has two grooves 14, located on either side of the longitudinal beam 12 and opening in opposite directions. Grooves 14 connect to the spacer bars 2, restricting their movement so that they can only slide within the grooves 14.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the partition bar 2 includes a partition bar body 21, a roller 22 and a threading hole 23. The partition bar body 21 is a columnar structure, and a plurality of partition bar bodies 21 are evenly distributed inside the outer frame 1 to form a mesh structure for filtering leaves, garbage and other debris. There are two rollers 22, which are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the partition bar body 21. The rollers 22 abut against the groove 14, and the rollers 22 can slide in the groove 14 to realize the telescopic function of the grating 100. The threading hole 23 is a through hole, which is located in the middle of the partition bar body 21 and passes through the partition bar body 21. The connecting rope 3 passes through the threading hole 23, so that the plurality of partition bar bodies 21 are connected in series and connected to the connecting hole 13. The partition bar body 21 is fixedly connected to the connecting rope 3.

[0034] Optionally, the cross section of the groove 14 is rectangular.

[0035] Optionally, the cross beam 11 and the longitudinal beam 12 are flush with the top surface of the partition bar body 21 .

[0036] Optionally, the length of the roller 22 should not be greater than the depth of the groove 14 , and the length of the partition bar body 21 should not be greater than the distance between two adjacent longitudinal beams 12 .

[0037] Optionally, the grate 100 is made of a hard material. Preferably, the grate 100 is made of cast iron, which has high strength, corrosion resistance, is not easily damaged by rainwater, and can extend the service life of the grate.

[0038] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the outer frame 1 is an integrated structure, and the partition bars 2 are connected to the outer frame 1 via rollers 22. The rollers 22 are installed in the grooves 14 and can slide in the grooves 14. The connecting rope 3 passes through the threading holes 23, connecting multiple partition bar bodies 21 in series, and the partition bar bodies 21 are fixedly connected to the connecting rope 3. One end of the connecting rope 3 is connected to the crossbeam 11, and the other end is connected to the connecting hole 13. The retractable grate is assembled into one piece before leaving the factory. During use, the connecting rope 3 is connected to the connecting hole 13, so that the partition bars 2 and the outer frame 1 form a mesh structure, which can filter out debris such as leaves and garbage. When it needs to be opened, simply remove the connecting rope 3 from the connecting hole 13 and retract the partition bars 2 to one side of the grate 100. When opening, it is not affected by water pressure, and there is no need to carry large opening tools. It can be opened and closed quickly, which is convenient for quickly clearing debris, accelerating drainage efficiency, and repairing the grate. At the same time, the partition bar 2 is retracted to one side of the grate 100 so as not to form an obstacle, thereby ensuring the safety of the road.
