Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of simple house construction technology, and relates to a sliding roof construction technology, particularly a connection structure between a ventilator and a sliding roof. Background Technology
[0002] Existing roofing systems typically include ventilators, which are mounted and fixed to the roof panels via frame installation. The frame and roof panels have a connection structure for fixing and sealing. Traditional connection methods usually involve flashing, which is bent on-site to secure one side of the flashing to the frame and the other side to the roof panel. This simple connection method has significant drawbacks. For example, due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the roof panel and the frame, relative movement during periods of significant temperature variation can tear the flashing or cause the edges to loosen and fall off, affecting the overall waterproofing performance. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a connection structure between a ventilator and a sliding roof. It solves the technical problem of poor connection strength and sealing performance between existing roof panels and frame structures.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A connection structure between a ventilator and a sliding roof includes a roof panel and a frame for mounting the ventilator, wherein the roof panel and the frame have a joint. The connection structure is characterized in that a support member is provided at the joint to laterally lock the roof panel and the frame. The connection structure also includes a flashing plate, which covers the outside of the joint and is movable relative to either the roof panel or the frame.
[0006] The roof panel and the frame of this application have a joint. A support is installed at the joint. The support locks the roof panel and the frame at the joint, thus forming a connection between the roof panel and the frame. At the same time, a flashing is installed on the outside of the joint. The flashing covers the joint and plays a waterproof role. The support makes the connection between the roof panel and the frame stronger, and the separately installed flashing makes the waterproof effect at the joint better.
[0007] The flashing of this application is fixed to one of the roof panels or the roof frame, but can move relative to the other. When the roof frame moves relative to the roof panel, the flashing can also move relative to the roof panel to avoid being torn. This design further improves the waterproofing performance.
[0008] In the above-mentioned connection structure between a ventilator and a sliding roof, the support member is a sheet metal part, one end of which is fixed to the side of the frame, and a receiving groove is formed between the sheet metal part and the side of the frame. The side of the roof panel at the joint is slidably disposed inside the receiving groove.
[0009] The side sliding mechanism of the roof panel is located in the receiving groove formed by the support, allowing the frame and the roof panel to slide relative to each other in the front-to-back direction. This design not only meets the requirement of lateral locking and fixing between the frame and the roof panel, but also adapts well to the installation of the sliding roof panel, making it more adaptable.
[0010] Furthermore, the roof panel is not completely locked in place within the receiving slot; a certain degree of positional variation between the frame and the roof panel is allowed. This significantly improves the toughness of the connection structure while ensuring the connection strength.
[0011] In the above-mentioned connection structure between a ventilator and a sliding roof, the support member includes a straight section one, a bent section and a straight section two, all three being integrally formed. The straight section one is fixed to the frame by screws. The straight section two forms the aforementioned receiving groove between itself and the frame, and the opening of the receiving groove faces downward. The side of the roof panel has a pressing edge, which is engaged inside the receiving groove.
[0012] In the above-mentioned connection structure between a ventilator and a sliding roof, the end of the straight section two located near the opening of the receiving slot has a hook portion that folds towards the side of the frame, and the edge of the pressing edge has a return edge that hooks and engages with the hook portion.
[0013] The support member of this application has a hook portion on its straight section two, and the pressing edge on the roof panel has a return edge that hooks and engages with the hook portion. The roof panel hooks and engages with the support member through the return edge. In this way, when the roof panel and the frame move relative to each other, the hook-and-engage structure can better adapt to the relative displacement without disengaging the engagement, and adjust the hook angle or trend to match the position of the roof panel and the frame. This design further improves the structural strength and stability of this connection structure.
[0014] In the above-mentioned connection structure between a ventilator and a sliding roof, the length of the straight section is close to the length of the return edge, and the length of the hook section is less than the length of the return edge.
[0015] The fact that the lengths of the straight section two and the return edge are close makes it less likely for the hook to come off after being engaged, further improving the strength and stability of the structure. The fact that the length of the hook section is less than the length of the return edge allows for a greater adjustable angle or trend between the straight section two and the return edge, providing more room for adjustment.
[0016] In the above-mentioned connection structure between a ventilator and a sliding roof, the upper end of the flashing is fixedly connected to the frame, and the lower end of the flashing is attached to the roof panel or support, and the flashing covers the joint area.
[0017] In this application, the upper end of the flashing is fixed to the frame, while the lower end is in a free state against the roof panel. The fixed upper end of the flashing can prevent water leakage and has good sealing performance, while the free state of the lower end can prevent tearing caused by the relative displacement between the frame and the roof panel. This design improves the sealing performance and sealing stability of the entire connection structure.
[0018] In the above-mentioned connection structure between a ventilator and a sliding roof, the lower end of the flashing has a U-shaped folded edge, which covers the outer side of the lower end of the support member.
[0019] The flashing of this application has a U-shaped folded edge at the lower end, which bends inward to surround the support member. This design can effectively prevent rainwater from leaking from the support member and further improve the sealing performance.
[0020] In the above-mentioned connection structure between a ventilator and a sliding roof, the top of the flashing has an L-shaped bend.
[0021] The top of the flashing in this application is also designed with a folded corner shape. The folded corner can effectively prevent rainwater from leaking from the top, further improving the sealing performance.
[0022] In the above-mentioned connection structure between a ventilator and a sliding roof, the side of the frame has an inclined slope, the joint is located on the slope, and the support and flashing are both connected to the slope.
[0023] The side of the frame of this application has an inclined slope, and the support and flashing are connected at the slope position. The inclined slope makes the support and flashing tilted. This design allows the support to better adapt to the relative displacement between the frame and the roof panel, and also improves the waterproof performance of the flashing.
[0024] In the above-mentioned connection structure between a ventilator and a sliding roof, the frame has a concave cavity above the slope, and the upper edge of the flashing extends to the inside of the concave cavity.
[0025] The upper edge of the flashing extends into the inner side of the concave cavity and is hidden, so rainwater is not easily corroded, which greatly improves the sealing performance.
[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0027] 1. The support component of this application can lock the roof panel and the frame at the joint position, so that the roof panel and the frame form a connection relationship. At the same time, a flashing is also provided on the outside of the joint position. The flashing covers the joint position and plays a waterproof role. The support component makes the connection strength between the roof panel and the frame better, and the separately provided flashing can make the waterproof effect at the joint position better.
[0028] 2. The flashing of this application is fixed to one of the roof panels or the frame, but can move relative to the other. When the frame moves relative to the roof panel, the flashing can also move relative to the roof panel to avoid being torn. This design further improves the waterproofing performance.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2The diagram illustrates a connection structure between a ventilator and a sliding roof. The sliding roof includes a sliding roof panel 1, which is slidably connected to the roof via a track. The ventilator includes a frame 2 and a ventilator body. The frame 2 is fixed to the roof purlins, and the ventilator body is mounted on the frame 2. The sliding roof panel 1 near the ventilator often requires a non-standard design and is often referred to as a non-standard roof panel 1. The connection structure of this application is located on the non-standard roof panel 1. There is a joint 3 between the roof panel 1 and the frame 2. A support member 4 is provided at the joint 3 to laterally lock the roof panel 1 and the frame 2. This connection structure also includes a flashing 5, which covers the outside of the joint 3 and is movable relative to either the roof panel 1 or the frame 2. The roof panel 1 and the frame 2 of this application have a joint 3. A support 4 is installed at the joint 3, which locks the roof panel 1 and the frame 2 together, forming a connection. A flashing 5 is also installed on the outer side of the joint, covering the joint 3 for waterproofing. The support 4 strengthens the connection between the roof panel 1 and the frame 2, and the separately installed flashing 5 enhances the waterproofing effect at the joint. The flashing 5 is fixed to either the roof panel 1 or the frame 2, but can move relative to the other. When the frame 2 and the roof panel 1 move relative to each other, the flashing 5 can also move to prevent tearing. This design further improves the waterproofing performance.
[0033] Furthermore, the support member 4 is a sheet metal part, one end of which is fixed to the side of the frame 2. A receiving groove 44 is formed between the sheet metal part and the side of the frame 2. The side of the roof panel 1 at the joint 3 is slidably disposed inside the receiving groove 44. The side of the roof panel 1 is slidably disposed inside the receiving groove 44 formed by the support member 4, allowing the frame 2 and the roof panel 1 to slide relative to each other in the front-back direction. This design not only meets the requirement of lateral locking and fixing between the frame 2 and the roof panel 1, but also adapts well to the installation of the sliding roof panel 1, thus improving adaptability. Moreover, the roof panel 1 is not completely locked in the receiving groove 44, allowing for a certain degree of positional change between the frame 2 and the roof panel 1. This significantly improves the toughness of the connection structure while ensuring the connection strength. Preferably, the support member 4 includes a straight section 41, a bent section 42, and a straight section 43, all three being integrally formed. The straight section 41 is fixed to the frame 2 by screws. The straight section 43 and the frame 2 form the aforementioned receiving groove 44, and the opening of the receiving groove 44 faces downward. The side of the roof panel 1 has a pressing edge 11, which is engaged inside the receiving groove 44.
[0034] Furthermore, the end of the second straight section 43 near the opening of the receiving slot 44 has a hook portion 45 that folds towards the side of the frame 2, and the edge of the pressing edge 11 has a return edge 12 that hooks and engages with the hook portion 45. The second straight section 43 of the support member 4 of this application has a hook portion 45, and the pressing edge 11 on the roof panel 1 has a return edge 12 that hooks and engages with the hook portion 45. The roof panel 1 hooks and engages with the support member 4 through the return edge 12. In this way, when the roof panel 1 and the frame 2 are relatively displaced, the hook-and-engage structure can better adapt to the relative displacement without disengaging the engagement by adjusting the hook angle or trend to match the position of the roof panel 1 and the frame 2. This design further improves the structural strength and stability of this connection structure.
[0035] Furthermore, the length of the second straight section 43 is close to the length of the return edge 12, while the length of the hook section 45 is less than the length of the return edge 12. The close lengths of the second straight section 43 and the return edge 12 make it less prone to disengagement after hooking, further enhancing the structural strength and stability. The shorter length of the hook section 45 compared to the return edge 12 allows for a greater adjustable angle or direction between the second straight section 43 and the return edge 12, providing more room for adjustment.
[0036] Furthermore, the upper end of the flashing 5 is fixedly connected to the frame 2, and the lower end of the flashing 5 rests against the roof panel 1 or the support member 4, with the flashing 5 covering the joint area 3. In this application, the upper end of the flashing 5 is fixed to the frame 2, while the lower end is freely resting against the roof panel 1. The fixed upper end of the flashing 5 can prevent water leakage and provide good sealing performance, while the free lower end can prevent tearing caused by the relative displacement between the frame 2 and the roof panel 1. This design improves the sealing performance and sealing stability of the entire connection structure.
[0037] Furthermore, the lower end of the flashing 5 has a U-shaped folded edge 51, which covers the outer side of the lower end of the support member 4. The lower end of the flashing 5 of this application has a U-shaped folded edge 51, which bends inward to surround the support member 4. This design can effectively prevent rainwater from leaking from the support member 4, and the sealing performance is further improved.
[0038] Furthermore, the top of the flashing 5 has an L-shaped bend 52. The top of the flashing 5 of this application is also designed with a bend 52, which effectively prevents rainwater from leaking from the top, further improving the sealing performance.
[0039] Furthermore, the side of the frame 2 has an inclined slope 21, and the joint 3 is located at the slope 21. The support 4 and the flashing 5 are both connected at the slope 21. The side of the frame 2 of this application has an inclined slope 21, and the support 4 and the flashing 5 are both connected at the slope 21. The inclined slope 21 makes the support 4 and the flashing 5 inclined. This design allows the support 4 to better adapt to the relative displacement between the frame 2 and the roof panel 1, and also improves the waterproof performance of the flashing 5.
[0040] Furthermore, the frame 2, located above the slope 21, has a recessed cavity 22, and the upper edge of the flashing 5 extends into the inner side of the recessed cavity 22. The upper edge of the flashing 5 extending into the inner side of the recessed cavity 22 is concealed, thus preventing rainwater erosion and significantly improving sealing performance.
