Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building maintenance calculation, and in particular to a gutter leaf-blocking mesh structure. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional leaf-blocking nets in gutter drainage systems typically employ a fixed-aperture mesh structure. When fallen leaves accumulate, a dense covering layer forms, leading to a clogging rate exceeding 60%, and a 30%-50% drop in drainage efficiency during heavy rain. Existing improvement solutions have significant limitations: while reducing mesh size improves filtration, it exacerbates debris retention; adding vibration cleaning devices requires external power, increasing energy consumption and maintenance costs; rigid mesh surfaces are prone to permanent deformation under overload, resulting in a lifespan of less than two years. Furthermore, commercially available hydrophobic self-cleaning coatings are prone to powdering and peeling off in complex environments, and the actual maintenance cycle still cannot exceed 6-8 months. Industry data shows that traditional leaf-blocking nets require manual cleaning 4-6 times per year, and high-altitude cleaning operations are fraught with risks. Current technology has not yet solved the problem of synergistic optimization of structural adaptability, anti-clogging properties, and long-term maintenance-free operation, thus limiting the emergency response capabilities of urban drainage systems. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a simple and easy-to-install gutter leaf-blocking mesh structure, which can effectively solve the problem of mesh blockage caused by debris accumulation, effectively improve drainage efficiency, reduce the number of manual cleaning operations, and reduce the risks of high-altitude cleaning operations.
[0004] This utility model is implemented as follows: a gutter leaf-blocking mesh structure, including...
[0005] A stainless steel mesh with several raised grooves on its upper surface and a drainage groove on one side of the stainless steel mesh.
[0006] A first fixing member has an integrally formed first clamping member and a first fixing plate. The first clamping member has a first clamping opening on its inner side, and the first fixing plate is disposed on the outer side of the first clamping member. The first fixing member is clamped to one side edge of the stainless steel mesh through the first clamping opening, and the first fixing plate is fixed to the eaves or wall by self-tapping screws.
[0007] A second fixing member has an integrally formed second clamping member, a second fixing plate, and a limiting plate. The second clamping member has a second clamping opening on its inner side. The second fixing plate is disposed on the outer side of the second clamping member. The limiting plate is disposed below the second clamping member. The second fixing member is clamped to the other edge of the stainless steel mesh through the second clamping opening. The second fixing plate is fixed to the outer edge of the gutter by self-tapping screws and abuts against the outer edge of the gutter by the limiting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, both the first and second fasteners are made of aluminum.
[0010] Furthermore, the drainage groove is trapezoidal, semi-circular, or "W" shaped.
[0011] The advantages of this invention are as follows: By setting grooves on the stainless steel mesh, leaves, debris, and other imperfections are lifted, allowing water to flow from the un-protruding parts into the gutter for drainage. This design can improve drainage efficiency by 50%. The drainage grooves ensure that small debris is carried into the grooves during rainwater scouring, preventing clogging of other mesh openings.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a gutter leaf-blocking mesh 100 structure, comprising a stainless steel mesh 1, a first fixing member 2, and a second fixing member 3.
[0019] The upper surface of the stainless steel mesh 1 is provided with several protrusions 11, and a drainage groove 12 is provided on one side of the stainless steel mesh 1; preferably, drainage grooves 12 are provided on both sides of the stainless steel mesh 1, and the drainage grooves 12 are trapezoidal, semi-circular or "W" shaped.
[0020] The first fixing member 2 has an integrally formed first clamping member 21 and a first fixing plate 22. The first clamping member 21 has a first clamping opening 211 on its inner side, and the first fixing plate 22 is disposed on the outer side of the first clamping member 21. The first fixing member 21 is clamped to one side edge of the stainless steel mesh 1 through the first clamping opening 211, and the first fixing plate 22 is fixed to the eaves or wall by self-tapping screws 4.
[0021] The second fixing member 3 has an integrally formed second clamping member 31, a second fixing plate 32, and a limiting plate 33. The second clamping member 31 has a second clamping opening 311 on its inner side. The second fixing plate 32 is located on the outer side of the second clamping member 31. The limiting plate 33 is located below the second clamping member 31. The second fixing member 31 is clamped to the other edge of the stainless steel mesh 1 through the second clamping opening 311. The second fixing plate 32 is fixed to the outer edge of the gutter 200 by self-tapping screws 4 and abuts against the outer edge of the gutter 200 by the limiting plate 33. Both the first fixing member 2 and the second fixing member 3 are made of aluminum, facilitating bending and installation.
[0022] In this utility model, both the first fixing member 2 and the second fixing member 3 are made of aluminum. The size of the first clamping opening 211 and the second clamping opening 311 is determined according to the thickness of the stainless steel mesh 1. The first fixing member 2 and the second fixing member 3 are respectively clamped on both sides of the stainless steel mesh 1 through the first clamping opening 211 and the second clamping opening 311. Then, the first clamping opening 211 and the second clamping opening 311 are stamped and closed using a mold, thereby clamping the stainless steel mesh 1. By setting the first fixing member 2 and the second fixing member 3, the stainless steel mesh 1 can be fixed to the top of the gutter 200. During the actual installation of the leaf-blocking net 100, the construction personnel, based on the actual construction situation, set a first fixing member 2 and a second fixing member 3 every 0.5 meters to 1 meter on the stainless steel mesh 1. They used self-tapping screws 4 to penetrate the first fixing plate 22 and fix the first fixing member 2 to the eaves or wall. Since the width of the gutter 200 varies, the installation method of the first fixing member 2 also varies. When the gutter 200 is small, the first fixing plate 22 can be bent upward or downward and then installed on the wall. The second fixing member 3 is fixed to the outer edge of the gutter 200 by using self-tapping screws 4 to penetrate the second fixing plate 32, and is abutted against the edge of the gutter 200 by the limiting plate 33 to prevent the leaf-blocking net 100 from slipping.
[0023] The upper surface of the stainless steel mesh 1 is provided with a groove 11. The groove 11 can be determined according to the leaf fall conditions in the actual area. For example, in areas with large leaves, the groove 11 with a lower height can be selected, while in areas with smaller leaves, the height of the groove 11 can be appropriately increased. The groove 11 can lift up leaves, debris, etc., allowing water to flow from the mesh openings without the groove 11 to the gutter 200 to complete drainage. This design can improve drainage efficiency by 50%.
[0024] The drainage groove 12 has three shapes to meet aesthetic requirements, but its function is the same. During the rainwater flushing process, small debris will be carried to the drainage groove 12, thus ensuring that the mesh holes in other positions will not be blocked. Since the gutter 200 has different sizes, two identical drainage grooves 12 can be designed on the wider stainless steel mesh 1.
[0025] This utility model is a simple and easy-to-install gutter leaf-blocking mesh structure that can effectively solve the problem of mesh blockage caused by debris accumulation, effectively improve drainage efficiency, reduce the number of manual cleaning operations, and reduce the risks of high-altitude cleaning operations.
