Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of roof drainage technology, and more specifically, it relates to a waterproof mechanism for installing stainless steel gutters. Background Technology

[0002] Gutters are a type of organized drainage system. Prefabricated gutter systems are an advanced organized drainage system introduced from Europe and America in recent years. They not only effectively and efficiently drain rainwater and melted snow away from buildings to prevent damage to roofs, walls, and foundations, but also feature an aesthetically pleasing design. Aluminum alloy prefabricated gutter systems are the mainstream product in Europe and America, boasting vibrant colors and attractive facades, as well as excellent weather resistance, making them an essential choice for modern and multi-story buildings.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese utility model patent application number CN202122174244.X discloses a waterproof mechanism for installing stainless steel gutters, including a stainless steel gutter body. An asphalt waterproof layer is fixedly installed on the surface of the inner cavity of the stainless steel gutter body. There are two stainless steel gutter bodies, and water-swellable waterstop strips are fixedly installed inside the two stainless steel gutter bodies that are in contact with each other.

[0004] Typically, multiple stainless steel gutter bodies are installed on the roof. Due to varying house lengths, the corresponding stainless steel gutter bodies need to be cut. Since the water-swellable sealing strip and gasket are located at both ends of the stainless steel gutter body, the cut gutter bodies lack these elements on their sides, resulting in poor sealing between the cut gutter bodies and consequently, poor waterproofing. Furthermore, it is difficult to adjust the clamping force between adjacent gutter bodies. If the gap between adjacent gutter bodies is large, even with the expansion of the water-swellable sealing strip, the waterproofing requirements cannot be met. Additionally, impurities can accumulate inside the stainless steel gutter body, making cleaning difficult. Utility Model Content

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a waterproof mechanism for installing stainless steel gutters, comprising a stainless steel gutter body, wherein the interior of the stainless steel gutter body is provided with a through groove, and a first sealing gasket and a water-swellable waterproof gasket are fixedly connected inside the through groove; multiple convex grooves are evenly provided on both sides of the stainless steel gutter body, and convex strips are inserted into the convex grooves; connecting plates are fixedly connected to the side ends of the convex strips; two connecting plates on both sides of the connection point of two adjacent stainless steel gutter bodies are fixedly connected by multiple bolts; two fixing strips are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the stainless steel gutter body, and fixing grooves are provided on the two fixing strips at positions corresponding to the multiple convex grooves; a fixing block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the convex strips, and a first screw is threaded onto the fixing block; a fixing post adapted to the fixing groove is fixedly connected to the side end of the first screw; after the stainless steel gutter body is cut, the side of the stainless steel gutter body still has the first sealing gasket and the water-swellable waterproof gasket in contact, which can ensure the sealing effect of the connection between the cut stainless steel gutters, but the waterproof effect is relatively poor.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a drainage box is connected to the stainless steel gutter body, a drainage pipe is connected to the bottom end of the drainage box, and a filter screen is connected to the top end of the drainage pipe to prevent impurities from entering the interior of the drainage pipe and to prevent the drainage pipe from becoming clogged.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that an installation plate is fixedly connected inside the stainless steel gutter body at a position corresponding to the drainage tank, a motor is installed on the installation plate, a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and multiple scraper plates adapted to the filter screen are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft to prevent the filter screen from being blocked.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the bottom of the drainage tank is provided with two discharge ports, and a sealing plug is inserted inside the discharge port. The top of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to two electric cylinders, and the telescopic rods of the two electric cylinders are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding sealing plugs, so as to facilitate the discharge of impurities inside the drainage tank.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a waterproof cover is installed on the top of the mounting plate, the waterproof cover covering the outside of the motor and the two electric cylinders to prevent rainwater from entering the inside of the motor and the electric cylinders.

[0013] The present invention is further provided that a sealing plate is provided on the side end of the stainless steel gutter body, and the sealing plate is connected to the corresponding connecting plate by multiple bolts, so as to facilitate the sealing of the side end of the stainless steel gutter body.

[0014] The present invention is further provided with a second sealing gasket on the side end of the sealing plate to ensure the sealing between the sealing plate and the stainless steel gutter body.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that a water-blocking seat is fixedly connected to the top of the stainless steel gutter body on the side away from the house, so as to prevent water flowing into the inside of the stainless steel gutter body from splashing to the outside of the stainless steel gutter body.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a waterproof mechanism for installing stainless steel gutters, which has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. When it is necessary to cut the stainless steel gutter body, the stainless steel gutter body is cut neatly by a cutting machine. After the cut stainless steel gutter body is cut, the side end still has the first sealing gasket and the water-swellable sealing gasket in contact. This allows the first sealing gasket and the water-swellable sealing gasket on two adjacent stainless steel gutter bodies to contact each other, which can ensure the sealing effect between the cut stainless steel gutters. However, the waterproof effect is relatively poor.

[0019] 2. By evenly setting multiple convex grooves on the side of the stainless steel gutter body, even after the stainless steel gutter body is cut, it is easy to insert the convex strip into the convex groove near the edge of the stainless steel gutter body. By tightening the bolts, the two connecting plates on the two adjacent stainless steel gutter bodies move towards the middle. The two connecting plates drive the corresponding stainless steel gutter bodies to move, which makes it easy to keep the two adjacent stainless steel gutter bodies in a tight state, which can ensure the expansion and sealing effect of the water-swellable sealing strips on the two adjacent stainless steel gutter bodies.

[0020] 3. By installing a filter screen, impurities are prevented from falling into the drain pipe and accumulating inside, thus preventing blockage. The motor drives the rotating shaft and multiple scraper blades to scrape off the impurities on the filter screen, preventing blockage. An electric cylinder pushes the sealing plug downwards, moving it to the bottom of the drain tank, allowing impurities inside the drain tank to be flushed out by water from the discharge port, facilitating cleaning.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-5A waterproofing mechanism for installing stainless steel gutters includes a stainless steel gutter body 1. A water-blocking seat 27 is fixedly connected to the top of the stainless steel gutter body 1 on the side away from the house to prevent water flowing into the stainless steel gutter body 1 from splashing to the outside. A through groove 2 is provided inside the stainless steel gutter body 1. A first sealing gasket 3 and a water-swellable water-stopping gasket 4 are fixedly connected inside the through groove 2. Multiple convex grooves 5 are evenly provided on both sides of the stainless steel gutter body 1. A convex strip 6 is inserted into the convex groove 5. A connecting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the side end of the convex strip 6. Two connecting plates 7 on both sides of the connection point of two adjacent stainless steel gutter bodies 1 are fixedly connected by multiple bolts 8. Next, two fixing strips 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the stainless steel gutter body 1. Fixing grooves 10 are provided on the two fixing strips 9 at positions corresponding to multiple convex grooves 5. Fixing blocks 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the convex strips 6. First screws 12 are threadedly connected to the fixing blocks 11. Fixing posts 13 that are compatible with the fixing grooves 10 are fixedly connected to the side end of the first screws 12. A sealing plate 25 is provided on the side end of the stainless steel gutter body 1. The sealing plate 25 is connected to the corresponding connecting plates 7 by multiple bolts 8 to facilitate sealing of the side end of the stainless steel gutter body 1. A second sealing gasket 26 is provided on the side end of the sealing plate 25 to ensure the sealing between the sealing plate 25 and the stainless steel gutter body 1.

[0031] Specifically, when the stainless steel gutter body 1 needs to be cut, it is neatly cut using a cutting machine. Even after cutting, the side end of the stainless steel gutter body 1 still has the first sealing gasket 3 and the water-swellable sealing gasket 4 in contact. This ensures contact between the first sealing gasket 3 and the water-swellable sealing gasket 4 on adjacent stainless steel gutter bodies 1, guaranteeing a sealing effect between the cut stainless steel gutter bodies 1. However, its waterproofing effect is relatively poor. By evenly providing multiple convex grooves 5 on the side end of the stainless steel gutter body 1, even after cutting, it is easy to... The convex strip 6 is inserted into the convex groove 5 near the edge of the stainless steel gutter body 1. Then, the first screw 12 is tightened so that the fixing post 13 is inserted into the corresponding fixing groove 10, fixing the fixing block 11 and the convex strip 6. The two connecting plates 7 on the two adjacent stainless steel gutter bodies 1 are moved towards the middle by tightening the bolts 8. The two connecting plates 7 respectively drive the corresponding stainless steel gutter bodies 1 to move, so that the two adjacent stainless steel gutter bodies 1 are in a tight state, which can ensure the expansion and sealing effect of the water-swellable sealing strips on the two adjacent stainless steel gutter bodies 1.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5A drainage tank 14 is connected to the stainless steel gutter body 1. A drainage pipe 15 is connected to the bottom of the drainage tank 14. A filter screen 16 is connected to the top of the drainage pipe 15. An installation plate 17 is fixedly connected inside the stainless steel gutter body 1 at a position corresponding to the drainage tank 14. A motor 18 is installed on the installation plate 17. A rotating shaft 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 18. Multiple scraper blades 20 adapted to the filter screen 16 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 19. Two discharge ports 21 are provided at the bottom of the drainage tank 14. A sealing plug 22 is inserted inside the discharge port 21. The top surface of the sealing plug 22 is inclined. Two electric cylinders 23 are fixedly connected to the top of the installation plate 17. The telescopic rods of the two electric cylinders 23 are fixedly connected to the corresponding sealing plugs 22. A waterproof cover 24 is installed on the top of the installation plate 17. The waterproof cover 24 covers the motor 18 and the two electric cylinders 23 to prevent rainwater from entering the motor 18 and the electric cylinders 23.

[0033] Specifically, by setting up a filter screen 16, impurities are prevented from falling into the drain pipe 15 and from accumulating inside the drain pipe 15, thus preventing blockage. The motor 18 drives the rotating shaft 19 and multiple scraper plates 20 to rotate, which can scrape off the impurities on the filter screen 16 and prevent the filter screen 16 from clogging. The electric cylinder 23 pushes the sealing plug 22 downward, so that the sealing plug 22 is moved to the bottom of the drain tank 14, and the impurities inside the drain tank 14 can be flushed out by water from the discharge port 21, which is convenient for cleaning the impurities.

[0034] In summary, when using the overall equipment:

[0035] When connecting two adjacent stainless steel gutter bodies 1, insert the convex strip 6 into the convex groove 5 near the edge of the stainless steel gutter body 1, and then tighten the first screw 12 to insert the fixing post 13 into the corresponding fixing groove 10 to fix the fixing block 11 and the convex strip 6. By tightening the bolt 8, move the two connecting plates 7 on the two adjacent stainless steel gutter bodies 1 toward the middle. The two connecting plates 7 respectively drive the corresponding stainless steel gutter bodies 1 to move, so that the two adjacent stainless steel gutter bodies 1 are tightly connected together.

[0036] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred.
