Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a building, and more particularly to a sunroom. Background Technology
[0002] To facilitate drainage in a sunroom, a slope is typically created on the roof, with a water trough structure added at the lowest point of the slope. During rain, rainwater flows down the sloping roof into the trough and then out through drain pipes connected to it, thus draining the roof. Currently, the water trough structure is integrally molded onto the roof profile. While a small trough is sufficient for smaller sunrooms, larger sunrooms experience overflow issues, causing rainwater to spill from the roof and spread inwards. Therefore, there is a pressing need for a sunroom design capable of draining even large volumes of rainwater. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sunroom to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option or create conditions.
[0004] The solution to the technical problem of this utility model is:
[0005] A sunroom includes: a roof frame with a light-transmitting roof panel on its top side, the light-transmitting roof panel extending downwards at an angle towards the front, and a plurality of supporting legs connected to the bottom side of the roof frame; a water tank connected to the front side of the roof frame, the water tank having a water collection cavity extending in a left-right direction, the front side of the water tank extending upwards and higher than the plane of the front side of the light-transmitting roof panel; and a drain pipe connected to the bottom side of the water tank and communicating with the water collection cavity.
[0006] This technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects: multiple support legs can support and lift the entire roof frame upwards; depending on the size of the light-transmitting panel, water troughs of different sizes can be installed on the front side of the roof frame; when it rains, the forward-extending light-transmitting roof panel can drain rainwater into the water trough on the front side of the roof frame. Since the water trough has a water collection chamber with sufficient capacity, and the height of the front side of the water trough is higher than the height of the plane where the lowest point of the front side of the light-transmitting roof panel is located, the capacity of the water collection chamber is further increased, which can effectively reduce the situation where rainwater fills the water collection chamber and overflows outwards. The rainwater in the water collection chamber can be discharged through the drain pipe connected to the bottom side of the water trough, thus better meeting the drainage needs of sunrooms of different sizes and effectively improving drainage efficiency, making assembly and use more flexible and convenient.
[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the water tank includes a bottom frame, a front side plate connected to the front side of the bottom frame, a raised frame connected to the top side of the front side plate, and a rear side plate connected to the rear side of the bottom frame. The front side plate, the raised frame, the bottom frame, and the rear side plate form the water collection cavity. The rear side plate is connected to the front side of the top frame, and the height of the raised frame is higher than the plane where the front side of the light-transmitting top plate is located. The rear side plate is used to connect the entire water tank to the front side of the top frame, while the front side plate and the raised frame form the front side of the water tank, which can shield rainwater. Using different structural forms of the front side plate and the raised frame can form a stepped layered structure, which is beneficial to improving the overall appearance and facilitates further connection of the front side of the entire water tank to external structural components for reinforcement.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the front side of the top frame is provided with two upwardly bent fixing hooks spaced apart along the vertical direction, and the rear side plate is provided with two downwardly bent connecting hooks spaced apart along the vertical direction. The two connecting hooks are respectively hooked onto the two fixing hooks. By connecting the rear side plate to the front side of the top frame and moving the rear side plate downward relative to the top frame, the two connecting hooks on the rear side plate are respectively hooked onto the two fixing hooks on the front side of the top frame. This allows for quick connection of the sink to the top frame, enabling the sink to be detachable and replaceable, and improving the convenience of adapting to sinks of different sizes.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a rearwardly extending front hook plate is connected to the top side of the front side panel, and a rearwardly extending heightening hook plate is connected to the rear side of the heightening frame. The heightening hook plate is fastened to the top side of the front hook plate. When connecting the heightening frame to the top side of the front side panel, the heightening hook plate is first placed on the front hook plate, and then the heightening frame is pushed forward so that the heightening hook plate is fastened to the front hook plate. This allows for quick installation of the heightening frame on the top side of the front side panel and improves the sealing performance of the connection between the heightening frame and the front side panel, reducing the risk of rainwater seeping out from the gap between the two.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a first light groove is provided on the bottom side of the bottom frame, the first light groove extending in the left-right direction, and a first light strip is provided within the first light groove. The first light groove provides space for the installation and storage of the first light strip, and the first light strip provides lighting function at the bottom frame position.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a first lampshade is snapped into the opening of the first lamp trough. The first lampshade is installed in the opening of the first lamp trough by snapping, allowing for quick removal and replacement, and also protecting the first lamp strip.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a second light groove is provided on the bottom side of the raised frame, located in front of the front side panel. The second light groove extends in the left-right direction and contains a second light strip. Similarly, the second light groove provides space for the installation and storage of the second light strip, which provides lighting at the raised frame location and further improves the overall appearance.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a second lampshade is snapped into the opening of the second lamp trough. Similarly, the second lampshade is installed in the opening of the second lamp trough by snapping, allowing for quick removal and replacement, and also protecting the second lamp strip.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a reinforcing rib is connected inside the bottom frame, with its upper and lower sides respectively connected to the inner top and inner bottom sides of the bottom frame. The reinforcing rib increases the deformation resistance of the bottom frame, and especially for bottom frames with larger size requirements, it further improves the structural stability of the water tank.
[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, at least one of the supporting legs is a hollow structure, with the drain pipe extending into the supporting leg. A fixing cover is connected to one side of the supporting leg, and the fixing cover has a fixing hole. The bottom end of the drain pipe is bent and extends into the fixing hole. A decorative cover is connected to the outside of the fixing cover, and the decorative cover has a clearance hole positioned opposite the fixing hole. The hollow supporting leg houses the drain pipe, reducing its exposure. A drainage point can be provided on the outside of the supporting leg, and the fixing cover secures the bottom end of the drain pipe. The decorative cover further protects the connection between the fixing cover and the supporting pipe, improving the overall appearance. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A sunroom includes: a roof frame 1 with a light-transmitting roof panel 11 on its top side, the light-transmitting roof panel 11 extending downwards at an angle towards the front, and a plurality of support legs 12 connected to the bottom side of the roof frame 1; a water tank 2 connected to the front side of the roof frame 1, the water tank 2 having a water collection cavity extending in a left-right direction, the front side of the water tank 2 extending upwards and higher than the plane of the front side of the light-transmitting roof panel 11; and a drain pipe 3 connected to the bottom side of the water tank 2 and communicating with the water collection cavity.
[0023] In this sunroom, multiple support legs 12 can support and lift the entire roof frame 1 upwards. Depending on the size of the light-transmitting panel, water tanks 2 of different sizes can be installed on the front side of the roof frame 1. When it rains, the forward-extending light-transmitting roof panel 11 can drain rainwater into the water tank 2 on the front side of the roof frame 1. Since the water tank 2 has a water collection cavity with sufficient capacity, and the height of the front side of the water tank 2 is higher than the height of the plane where the lowest point of the front side of the light-transmitting roof panel 11 is located, the capacity of the water collection cavity is further increased, which can effectively reduce the situation where rainwater fills the water collection cavity and overflows outwards. The rainwater in the water collection cavity can be discharged through the drain pipe 3 connected to the bottom side of the water tank 2. This better meets the drainage needs of sunrooms of different sizes and effectively improves drainage efficiency, making assembly and use more flexible and convenient.
[0024] The water tank 2 can be a plate formed by multiple bending. In this embodiment, the water tank 2 includes a bottom frame 21, a front side plate 22 connected to the front side of the bottom frame 21, a raised frame 23 connected to the top side of the front side plate 22, and a rear side plate 24 connected to the rear side of the bottom frame 21. The front side plate 22, the raised frame 23, the bottom frame 21 and the rear side plate 24 form the water collection cavity. The rear side plate 24 is connected to the front side of the top frame 1. The height of the raised frame 23 is higher than the plane where the front side of the light-transmitting top plate 11 is located. The rear panel 24 is used to connect the entire water tank 2 to the front of the top frame 1, while the front panel 22 and the raised frame 23 form the front of the water tank 2, which can shield rainwater. The front panel 22 and the raised frame 23 with different structural forms can form a stepped layered structure, which is beneficial to improving the overall appearance and makes it easier to further connect the front of the entire water tank 2 to the external structural components to reinforce the water tank 2.
[0025] To enable quick connection of the sink 2 to the front of the top frame 1, in this embodiment, the front of the top frame 1 is provided with two upwardly bent fixing hooks 13 spaced apart along the vertical direction, and the rear side plate 24 is provided with two downwardly bent connecting hooks 241 spaced apart along the vertical direction. The two connecting hooks 241 are respectively hooked onto the two fixing hooks 13. The rear side plate 24 is connected to the front of the top frame 1, and then moved downwards relative to the top frame 1, so that the two connecting hooks 241 on the rear side plate 24 are respectively hooked onto the two fixing hooks 13 on the front of the top frame 1. This allows for quick connection of the sink 2 to the top frame 1, enabling the sink 2 to be detachable and replaceable, and improving the convenience of adapting to sinks 2 of different sizes.
[0026] Similarly, in order to quickly and securely connect the raised frame 23 to the top side of the front panel 22, in this embodiment, a rearwardly extending front hook plate 221 is connected to the top side of the front panel 22, and a rearwardly extending raised hook plate 231 is connected to the rear side of the raised frame 23. The raised hook plate 231 is fastened to the top side of the front hook plate 221. When connecting the raised frame 23 to the top side of the front panel 22, the raised hook plate 231 is first placed on the front hook plate 221, and then pushed forward on the raised frame 23 so that the raised hook plate 231 is fastened to the front hook plate 221. This achieves quick installation of the raised frame 23 to the top side of the front panel 22 and improves the sealing performance of the connection between the raised frame 23 and the front panel 22, reducing the risk of rainwater seeping out from the gap between the two.
[0027] In some embodiments, a first light groove is provided on the bottom side of the bottom frame 21, the first light groove extending in a left-right direction, and a first light strip 211 is provided within the first light groove. The first light groove provides space for the installation and storage of the first light strip 211, and the first light strip 211 provides lighting at the position of the bottom frame 21.
[0028] Furthermore, a first lampshade 212 is snapped into the opening of the first lamp trough. The first lampshade 212 is installed in the opening of the first lamp trough by snapping, allowing for quick removal and replacement, and also protecting the first lamp strip 211.
[0029] In some embodiments, a second light groove is provided on the bottom side of the raised frame 23 at a position in front of the front side panel 22. The second light groove extends in a left-right direction and a second light strip 232 is provided within the second light groove. Similarly, the second light groove can provide space for the installation and storage of the second light strip 232, which provides lighting function at the position of the raised frame 23 and further improves the overall appearance.
[0030] Furthermore, a second lampshade 233 is snapped into the opening of the second lamp trough. Similarly, the second lampshade 233 is installed in the opening of the second lamp trough by snapping, allowing for quick removal and replacement, and also protecting the second lamp strip 232.
[0031] In some embodiments, a reinforcing rib is connected inside the bottom frame 21, with its upper and lower sides respectively connected to the inner top and inner bottom sides of the bottom frame 21. The reinforcing rib can increase the deformation resistance of the bottom frame 21, and especially for bottom frames 21 with larger size requirements, it can further improve the structural stability of the water tank 2.
[0032] In one embodiment of the installation method of the drain pipe 3, the drain pipe 3 can be directly exposed and installed. In this case, the drain pipe 3 is located outside the support foot 12. In another embodiment of the installation method of the drain pipe 3, such as... Figure 3 As shown, specifically, at least one of the support legs 12 is a hollow structure. The drain pipe 3 extends into the support leg 12. A fixing cover 121 is connected to one side of the support leg 12. The fixing cover 121 has a fixing hole. The bottom end of the drain pipe 3 is bent and extends into the fixing hole. A decorative cover is connected to the outside of the fixing cover 121. The decorative cover has a clearance hole opposite to the fixing hole. In practical applications, the hollow support leg 12 can be positioned directly opposite the water collection cavity to better house the drain pipe 3 inside the support leg 12. The drain pipe 3 is housed by the hollow support leg 12, reducing its exposure. A drainage point for the drain pipe 3 can be provided on the outside of the support leg 12. The bottom end of the drain pipe 3 can be fixed by the fixing cover 121, and the decorative cover covers and protects the connection structure between the fixing cover 121 and the support pipe, further improving the overall appearance.
