Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rainwater collection inlet technology, and relates to a rainwater grate installation structure that is easy to open. Background Technology

[0002] A storm drain is a structure that collects rainwater in storm drains or combined sewer systems. For example, rainwater on a street surface first flows into a drainage pipe through a storm drain inlet and connecting pipe.

[0003] Rainwater collection inlets are generally installed at intersections, along roadside ditches at certain intervals, and in low-lying areas with curbs to prevent rainwater from overflowing onto roads or causing water accumulation in roads and low-lying areas, thus obstructing traffic. There are two main types of rainwater inlets: vertical grate inlets and horizontal grate inlets. Horizontal grate inlets allow for smooth water flow, but are easily blocked by branches and other debris during heavy rain, affecting their water collection capacity. Vertical grate inlets are less prone to clogging and have a larger flow capacity, but they have the following disadvantages: First, the grate cannot be opened, making cleaning inconvenient; second, some vertical grate inlets are made of stone or imitation stone, resulting in low perforation and poor drainage performance; third, due to annual road repairs in urban areas, road surfaces are raised, reducing the cross-section of the vertical grate and affecting its water collection capacity; fourth, vertical grate inlets are located in corresponding rainwater inspection wells within the sidewalks, and the manhole covers are difficult to open and unsightly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an easy-to-open rain grate installation structure.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] An easy-to-open rain grate installation structure includes:

[0007] A foundation, wherein a rainwater inlet is provided on the foundation and a base is provided on the side wall of one side of the rainwater inlet;

[0008] A wastewater interception basket, which is embedded in the upper opening of the rainwater inlet;

[0009] A rain grate, one side of which is hinged to a base, and the other side of which is provided with a downwardly bent barrier bar; a hydraulic strut is hinged to the middle of the rain grate, and the lower end of the hydraulic strut is hinged to the side wall of the rainwater inlet.

[0010] Preferably, the barrier strip has water channels evenly distributed on it.

[0011] Preferably, a first hinge seat is provided in the middle of the rain grate, and a first hinge plate is provided at one end of the hydraulic strut that can cooperate with the hinge shaft.

[0012] Preferably, a second hinge seat is provided on the foundation, and a second hinge plate that can cooperate with the second hinge seat is provided on one end of the hydraulic strut.

[0013] Preferably, the entire intercepting basket is made of stainless steel wire.

[0014] Preferably, the rain grate is connected to the base by a hinge.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] This utility model adopts a vertical rain grate. The rain grate surface can block larger solid impurities on the road surface, while the internal intercepting frame intercepts other smaller solid impurities, preventing them from clogging rainwater pipes and damaging the aquatic environment of rivers. The intercepted solid impurities are blocked outside the rain grate or collected inside the intercepting frame. Through a hydraulic support device, maintenance personnel can easily and quickly open the grate, which is convenient, quick, effective, and low-cost. After cleaning, the rain grate can also slowly and automatically descend into place, avoiding the misalignment and noise problems that occur when ordinary grates close. The blocking strips play a certain role in blocking solid impurities, and the suspended lower part of the blocking strips facilitates the smooth entry of rainwater into the rain grate.

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] This embodiment proposes an easy-to-open rain grate installation structure, including a foundation 1, a sludge interception basket 4 and a rain grate 5, with the sludge interception basket 4 and the rain grate 5 installed on the foundation 1;

[0023] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a rainwater inlet 2 is provided on the foundation 1, and a base 3 is provided on the side wall of one side of the rainwater inlet 2.

[0024] The intercepting basket 4 is embedded in the upper opening of the rainwater inlet 2. The intercepting basket 4 can block solid impurities, prevent them from clogging the rainwater pipe, and protect the aquatic environment of the river.

[0025] One side of the rain grate 5 is hinged to the base 3, and the hinged connection allows the rain grate 5 to be opened easily.

[0026] On the other side of the rain grate 5, there is a downward-bent barrier strip 6, which prevents larger solid impurities from entering the rainwater inlet 2.

[0027] A hydraulic strut 8 is hinged to the middle of the rain grate 5. The lower end of the hydraulic strut 8 is hinged to the side wall of the rain inlet 2. The hydraulic strut 8 makes it easy for workers to open the rain grate 5.

[0028] Furthermore, the barrier strip 6 is evenly distributed with water channels 9, which facilitate rainwater to pass through the barrier strip 6 and enter the rainwater inlet 2.

[0029] Furthermore, a first hinge seat 10 is provided in the middle of the rain grate 5, and a first hinge plate 11 that can cooperate with the hinge shaft is provided at one end of the hydraulic strut 8. The hydraulic strut 8 is hinged to the rain grate 5 to avoid motion interference.

[0030] Furthermore, a second hinge seat 12 is provided on the foundation 1, and a second hinge plate 13 that can cooperate with the second hinge seat 12 is provided on one end of the hydraulic strut 8. The hydraulic strut 8 is hinged to the foundation 1 to avoid motion interference.

[0031] Furthermore, the entire intercepting basket 4 is made of stainless steel wire, which is corrosion-resistant and has a long service life.

[0032] Furthermore, the rain grate 5 and the base 3 are connected by a hinge 14.

[0033] Working principle: The rain grate 5 is hinged to the base 3, and a hydraulic strut 8 is installed between the rain grate 5 and the foundation 1, so that when the staff needs to remove debris from the rainwater inlet 2, the rain grate 5 can be easily opened; the barrier bar 6 can intercept larger solid materials in the rainwater, while other small solid impurities mainly accumulate at the interception basket 4. On sunny days, maintenance personnel go to the site to first clean the large solid impurities at the barrier bar 6, then open the rain grate 5, take out the interception basket 4, and after the debris is cleaned, put the interception basket 4 back. The rain grate 5 is then slowly closed by the hydraulic strut 8 to avoid excessive noise.

[0034] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary models used to illustrate the principles of this utility model, and this utility model is not limited thereto. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
