Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of robotic rain shelter technology, and more particularly to a rain shelter with drainage function. Background Technology
[0002] Rain shelters are typically installed in outdoor locations to provide rain protection for outdoor robots such as lawnmowers. To reduce rainwater accumulation at the top of the rain shelter, appropriate rain shelter drainage structures are required.
[0003] Current canopies consist of a main shelter and an installation structure, with the main shelter fixed to the top of the installation structure. Outdoor robots, such as lawnmowers, can autonomously drive under the main shelter when needed, and the canopy provides shelter from the rain. However, the main shelter has a flat structure, which makes it difficult for rainwater to drain away, resulting in poor drainage. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a rain shelter with drainage function, which aims to solve the technical problem of poor drainage effect of rain shelters.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the solution provided in this application is as follows:
[0006] A rain shelter with drainage function includes:
[0007] support;
[0008] A shielding body is mounted on the top of the bracket, and the bottom of the bracket is used to mount the shielding body on a support surface to support the shielding body;
[0009] The shielding body has a drainage groove on the side facing away from the supporting surface, and the distance between the bottom wall of the drainage groove and the supporting surface gradually decreases along the first direction.
[0010] The drainage-functional awning provided in this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] In this embodiment, the awning has a drainage channel on the upper surface of the main body of the canopy, which allows most of the water flow on the main body to be collected in the drainage channel. At the same time, the bottom wall of the drainage channel is inclined relative to the supporting surface, that is, the bottom wall of the drainage channel extends downward at an angle from one end to the other, so that the water flow collected in the drainage channel can be discharged downward at an angle, avoiding water accumulation in the drainage channel, thereby improving the drainage effect of the main body of the canopy and thus improving the drainage effect of the awning.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, this application embodiment provides a rain shelter 10 with drainage function. When outdoor robots such as lawnmowers or grass trimmers (not shown) need to be parked or during rain, they can autonomously move to the underside of the shelter body 1 of the rain shelter 10, allowing them to take shelter from the rain inside. Specifically, the rain shelter 10 includes a shelter body 1 and a support 2. The shelter body 1 is mounted on the top of the support 2, and the bottom of the support 2 is mounted on a supporting surface (not shown) to support the shelter body 1. The supporting surface can be the ground. A drainage groove 3 is provided on the side of the shelter body 1 facing away from the supporting surface. The distance between the bottom wall 31 of the drainage groove 3 and the supporting surface gradually decreases along a first direction.
[0029] In this embodiment, the awning 10 has a drainage channel 3 on the upper surface of the shielding body 1, which allows most of the water flow on the shielding body 1 to be collected in the drainage channel 3. At the same time, the bottom wall 31 of the drainage channel 3 is inclined relative to the supporting surface. That is, along the flow direction of the water flow on the bottom wall 31, the bottom wall 31 of the drainage channel 3 extends downward at an incline from one end to the other end, so that the water flow collected in the drainage channel 3 can be discharged downward at an incline, avoiding water accumulation in the drainage channel 3, thereby improving the drainage effect of the shielding body 1 and thus improving the drainage effect of the awning 10.
[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the two sides of the shielding body 1 are respectively connected to two supports 2, and the two supports 2 jointly support the shielding body 1. The first direction intersects with the arrangement direction of the two supports 2. For example, the two supports 2 are arranged left and right, and the first direction is the front and back direction. In this case, the water in the drainage channel 3 can flow out along the front and back direction towards one side of the canopy 10, preventing water from accumulating in the drainage channel 3. Further, the two supports 2 are connected by a connecting rod 4. The shielding body 1 is set above the supports 2 and the connecting rod 4, and the connecting rod 4 and the supports 2 jointly support the shielding body 1, improving the pressure-bearing capacity of the shielding body 1. For example, the shielding body 1 can be a canopy.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, in one specific embodiment, the shielding body 1 is detachably connected to the bracket 2 to save transportation space during transport. Specifically, the shielding body 1 and the bracket 2 are detachably connected by one or both of the following methods: snap-fit and plug-in, to reduce installation difficulty.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the drainage trough 3 has a first sidewall 32 connected to the bottom wall 31 and a second sidewall 33 connected to the bottom wall 31. The first sidewall 32 and the second sidewall 33 are arranged opposite to each other. The distance between the first sidewall 32 and the support surface gradually decreases along a second direction, and / or the distance between the second sidewall 33 and the support surface gradually decreases along a third direction, so that the first sidewall 32 is inclined relative to the support surface, and / or the second sidewall 33 is inclined relative to the support surface.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the second direction can be the direction in which the first sidewall 32 approaches the second sidewall 33, so that the first sidewall 32 gradually approaches the second sidewall 33 from top to bottom, thereby blocking a portion of the water flow on the main body 1 from flowing into the drainage trough 3 from the top of the first sidewall 32 under the guidance of the first sidewall 32, thus avoiding water accumulation on the surface of the main body 1.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the third direction can be the direction in which the second sidewall 33 approaches the first sidewall 32, so that the second sidewall 33 gradually approaches the first sidewall 32 from top to bottom, thereby blocking a portion of the water flow on the main body 1 from flowing into the drainage trough 3 from the top of the second sidewall 33 under the guidance of the second sidewall 33, thus avoiding water accumulation on the surface of the main body 1.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the angle between the first sidewall 32 and the bottom wall 31 is an obtuse angle, and the angle between the second sidewall 33 and the bottom wall 31 is an obtuse angle. In this case, the distance between the first sidewall 32 and the second sidewall 33 gradually decreases from top to bottom, so that the first sidewall 32 and the second sidewall 33 gradually approach the center of the bottom wall 31 from top to bottom, so that both the first sidewall 32 and the second sidewall 33 have a drainage function, improving the drainage effect, and facilitating the flow of water on the shielding body 1 into the drainage trough 3 along the first sidewall 32 and the second sidewall 33, thus avoiding water accumulation on the surface of the shielding body 1.
[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the side of the shielding body 1 away from the support 2 includes a first surface 11 and a second surface 12. The first surface 11 and the second surface 12 are located on both sides of the drainage groove 3, respectively. The first surface 11 is connected to the first side wall 32 at an angle, and the second surface 12 is connected to the second side wall 33 at an angle. The distance between the first surface 11 and the support surface gradually decreases along the fourth direction, and the distance between the second surface 12 and the support surface gradually decreases along the fifth direction. Thus, the first surface 11 is inclined relative to the support surface, and the second surface 12 is also inclined relative to the support surface. The fourth direction is the direction from the first sidewall 32 to the opposite side of the shielding body 1, and the fifth direction is the direction from the second sidewall 33 to the opposite side of the shielding body 1. For example, when the first sidewall 32 and the second sidewall 33 are arranged side to side, the fourth direction is the direction from the first sidewall 32 to the left side of the shielding body, and the fifth direction is the direction from the second sidewall 33 to the right side of the shielding body 1. Thus, the water flow on the shielding body 1 can also be discharged from both sides of the shielding body 1 along the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 respectively, effectively preventing water accumulation on the surface of the shielding body 1.
[0037] Understandably, in this embodiment, a drainage channel 3 is provided on the shielding body 1, and two side walls (first side wall 32 and second side wall 33) of the drainage channel 3 are provided to gradually approach the center of the bottom wall 31 from top to bottom. The first surface 11 and the second surface 12 provided on both sides of the drainage channel 3 also have a drainage function. Thus, a part of the water flow on the shielding body 1 can be guided to the drainage channel 3 by the two side walls (first side wall 32 and second side wall 33) of the drainage channel 3, and then flow out of the drainage channel 3 along the bottom wall 31 of the drainage channel 3 toward the front or rear side of the shielding body 1. Another part of the water flow on the shielding body 1 can be discharged from the left and right sides of the shielding body 1 respectively, further improving the drainage effect and preventing water accumulation on the shielding body 1.
[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the drainage trough 3 is provided with an outlet 34, the connection between the first side wall 32 and the bottom wall 31 forms a first side 35, the connection between the second side wall 33 and the bottom wall 31 forms a second side 36, the distance between the first side 35 and the second side 36 gradually decreases along the sixth direction, that is, the width of the bottom wall 31 gradually decreases along the sixth direction, the sixth direction is the direction close to the outlet 34, it can be understood that the sixth direction is the flow direction of water on the bottom wall 31, in this case, the sixth direction is the same as the first direction.
[0039] In this embodiment, the flow channel formed in the drainage trough 3 becomes narrower as it gets closer to the outlet 34. That is, the flow channel formed in the drainage trough 3 gradually narrows from upstream to downstream along the flow direction of the water flow on the bottom wall 31, which makes the flow velocity of the water flow in the drainage trough 3 greater as it gets closer to the outlet 34. This can increase the flow velocity of the outlet 34, which is beneficial for water discharge, and the discharged water can be kept away from the canopy 10. In practical applications, the drainage trough 3 is located between the two supports 2, and the length direction of the bottom wall 31 of the drainage trough 3 intersects with the arrangement direction of the two supports 2. In this case, when the robot is parked incorrectly, for example, part of the robot's body is exposed outside the canopy 10 and located below the water outlet 34, the flow velocity of the water outlet 34 is increased, so that when the water flows out of the water outlet 34 in a parabolic manner, there is a distance between it and the canopy 10. The greater the flow velocity of the water outlet 34, the greater the distance between the parabolic water flow and the canopy 10. In this way, the probability of water discharged from the drainage trough 3 splashing onto the robot can be reduced, and even the water discharged from the drainage trough 3 can be prevented from falling onto the robot's body.
[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the drainage trough 3 also has a third sidewall 37, and the first sidewall 32 and the second sidewall 33 are both connected to the third sidewall 37. The third sidewall 37 is spaced apart from the outlet 34. The side of the shielding body 1 facing away from the support 2 includes a third surface 13. The third surface 13 is connected to the side of the third sidewall 37 away from the outlet 34. The distance between the third surface 13 and the support surface gradually decreases along the seventh direction, so that the third surface 13 is inclined relative to the support surface. The seventh direction is opposite to the sixth direction, that is, the seventh direction is the direction away from the outlet 34. Thus, the water flow on the shielding body 1 can also be discharged from the side of the shielding body 1 away from the outlet 34 along the third surface 13, effectively preventing water accumulation on the surface of the shielding body 1.
[0041] Understandably, in this embodiment, a drainage trough 3 is provided on the shielding body 1, and two side walls (first side wall 32 and second side wall 33) of the drainage trough 3 are provided to gradually approach the center of the bottom wall 31 from top to bottom. The first surface 11 and the second surface 12 provided on both sides of the drainage trough 3 also have a drainage function. At the same time, the third surface 13 provided on the side of the drainage trough 3 away from the outlet 34 also has a drainage function. Thus, the water flow on the shielding body 1 can be discharged in four directions (front, back, left and right) with the shielding body 1 as the center, which improves the drainage effect of the shielding body 1 and prevents water accumulation on the shielding body 1.
[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, along the flow direction of the water, the bottom wall 31 of the drainage channel 3 includes a first portion 311 and a second portion 312, which are connected at an angle. The angle between the first portion 311 and the supporting surface is smaller than the angle between the second portion 312 and the supporting surface, so that the second portion 312 is more inclined than the first portion 311, which is conducive to the outflow of water. In some embodiments, the connection between the first portion 311 and the second portion 312 forms an arc surface for guiding the water flow from the first portion 311 to the second portion 312.
[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the bracket 2 includes a base plate 21 and a side frame 22 connected at an angle. The base plate 21 is used to be mounted on the support surface to contact the support surface and support the side frame 22. The shielding body 1 is mounted on the top of the side frame 22. The distance between the bottom wall 31 and the base plate 21 gradually decreases along the first direction, so that the bottom wall 31 of the drainage trough 3 is inclined relative to the base plate 21, and the water can flow out from one side of the drainage trough 3 at an angle, avoiding water accumulation in the drainage trough 3, thereby improving the drainage effect of the shielding body 1.
[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the upper surface of the shielding body 1 is inclined relative to the bottom plate 21, and the distance between the upper surface of the shielding body 1 and the bottom plate 21 gradually decreases towards the outlet 34, so that the upper surface of the shielding body 1 can also guide the water flow to flow downwards, which is also conducive to the drainage of the outlet 34 of the drainage trough 3.
[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the side frame 22 is provided with ventilation holes 23, which can reduce the weight of the side frame 22, thereby reducing the weight of the support 2, and further reducing the weight of the canopy 10. It can also reduce the windward area of the side frame 22, thereby weakening the wind force acting on the canopy 10, making the wind force acting on the canopy 10 smaller, increasing the difficulty of the canopy 10 being blown down, improving the stability of the canopy 10 installed on the support surface, and making the canopy 10 less likely to be blown down.
[0046] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the side frame 22 includes a middle region 22a and an outer region 22b. The outer region 22b is arranged around the middle region 22a, and the ventilation hole 23 is located in the middle region 22a. This can reduce the weight of the side frame 22, reduce the windward area of the side frame 22, weaken the wind force acting on the side frame 22, and increase the difficulty of the side frame 22 being blown over.
[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, in one specific embodiment, the inner side of the side frame 22 is provided with a top frame 24 integrally formed and connected to the side frame 22. The top frame 24 is used to install the connecting rod 4 and the shielding body 1, and is covered by the shielding body 1.
[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the base plate 21 is provided with holes 211 for locking the base plate 21 onto the support surface. Specifically, the portions of the base plate 21 located on both sides of the side frame 22 are provided with holes 211. The side frame 22 is located in the middle of the base plate 21, which improves the stability of the side frame 22 supported on the support surface.
[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in one specific embodiment, both the base plate 21 and the side frame 22 are provided with multiple reinforcing parts 25. The multiple reinforcing parts 25 on the side frame 22 are located around the ventilation hole 23 and are arranged around the outer periphery of the ventilation hole 23 to enhance the structural strength of the side frame 22. The multiple reinforcing parts 25 on the base plate 21 can stabilize the structure of the base plate 21 and improve the structural stability of the base plate 21. Specifically, each reinforcing part 25 includes a transverse reinforcing plate 251 and a vertical reinforcing plate 252 connected at an angle, so that the reinforcing parts 25 provided on the side frame 22 can stabilize the structure of the side frame 22 and prevent the ventilation hole 23 from deforming.
[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the content of this application's specification and drawings under the concept of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this application.
