Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building installation technology, specifically to a non-splashing rainwater chain structure. Background Technology
[0002] Rain chains, as a decorative alternative to traditional building drainage pipes, are widely used in modern building roof drainage systems. They guide rainwater from the roof to the ground in stages through a series of linked links, combining practical function with aesthetic value. Current technologies mostly use metal, ceramic, or plastic materials, vertically linking ring-shaped or funnel-shaped units, relying on gravity to guide the water flow. The mainstream structures include open-link and semi-enclosed container types, with some products adding textures to the link surfaces to enhance water adhesion.
[0003] Current technology lacks an effective water flow transition structure between chain links, causing rainwater to generate significant impact force under gravity acceleration. When the water collides with lower chain links, it produces violent splashing. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced during heavy rain, causing not only pollution of surrounding walls and slippery surfaces, but also resulting in approximately 30% or more of the water failing to be effectively collected. Furthermore, the splashing water disrupts the visual integrity of the water curtain, significantly reducing its landscape value. Existing improvement solutions primarily focus on material rust prevention or aesthetic appeal. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, the splashing water disrupts the visual integrity of the water curtain, significantly reducing its landscape value. Existing improvements primarily focus on material rust prevention or aesthetic appeal.

[0015] 1. In this utility model, the combined use of a water-guiding liner, a double-ended nut, a first connecting rod, and a second connecting rod effectively solves the problem of water splashing, making the rainwater chain more aesthetically pleasing and more efficient in collecting water resources. The water-guiding liner allows rainwater to flow smoothly through the chain links, avoiding splashing caused by direct impact on lower chain links.

This design not only improves the aesthetics of the rainwater chain but also maintains a good visual effect.

The combination of the water-guiding liner and the inner liner reinforcing plate not only enhances the internal structural strength of the rainwater chain, but also makes the water flow more stable when it flows through, reducing water turbulence and splashing. The addition of double-headed nuts further improves the tightness of the connection between the various components of the rainwater chain, ensuring the stability and durability of the entire structure.

[0025] A non-splashing rainwater chain structure includes a water-guiding cup 1, a water-guiding liner 2, an inner liner reinforcing plate 17 fixedly connected inside the water-guiding liner 2, a first connecting rod 4 at the top of the water-guiding cup 1, a first fastening nut 5 and a first fastening nut rod 7 respectively provided on the outer surface of the first connecting rod 4, a first limiting bulge 6 and a second limiting bulge 8 respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the first connecting rod 4, a second connecting rod 9 at the bottom of the water-guiding cup 1, a second fastening nut 10 and a second fastening nut rod 12 respectively provided on the outer surface of the second connecting rod 9, a third limiting bulge 11 and a fourth limiting bulge 13 respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the second connecting rod 9.
[0026] The water-guiding liner 2 is cleverly designed to guide the direction of water flow, allowing it to flow smoothly under gravity and reducing the impact force of the water flow. The combined use of the double-ended nut 3, the first connecting rod 4, and the second connecting rod 9 not only enhances the stability and robustness of the rainwater chain structure but also further optimizes the water flow path.
[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, spherical structures 21 are fixedly connected to both ends of the first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 9, respectively. The first fastening nut 5 and the second fastening nut 10 are respectively provided with internal threads 20, hemispherical grooves 18, and through-hole structures 19. The first fastening nut 5 and the second fastening nut 10 are positioned opposite each other. Mounting holes 16 are provided on the surface of the inner lining reinforcing plate 17, and double-ended nuts 3 are fixedly connected to the mounting holes 16. The first fastening nut 5 and the second fastening nut 10 are respectively threaded to the double-ended nuts 3 through the internal threads 20. The top of the water-guiding lining 2 is... The water inlet 14 is provided, and the bottom of the water guide liner 2 is provided with an outlet 15. The inner surface of the water guide cup 1 is fixedly connected with an inward turning structure 22. The water guide cup 1 is cylindrical in shape. The mounting hole 16 is located at the top center of the inner liner reinforcing plate 17. The double-headed nut 3 is located at the center of the water guide liner 2. The first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 9 are the same size and are positioned opposite each other. The first fastening nut 5 and the second fastening nut 10 are the same size and are both made of brass.
[0028] Among them, the water-guiding liner 2 is a structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, which can further improve the water collection efficiency of the rainwater chain and the stability of the structure. The water-guiding liner 2 is combined with the inner liner reinforcing plate 17 to enhance the internal structural strength of the rainwater chain.
[0029] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When using the non-splashing rainwater chain structure designed in this scheme, first check whether the device is working properly. Install the structure in a suitable working area. Rainwater can smoothly transition when flowing through the chain links, avoiding splashing caused by direct impact on the lower chain links. The design of the water-guiding liner 2 cleverly guides the direction of water flow, allowing it to flow smoothly under the action of gravity and reducing the impact force of the water flow. The combined use of the double-headed nut 3, the first connecting rod 4, and the second connecting rod 9 not only enhances the stability and robustness of the rainwater chain structure, but also further optimizes the water flow path, ensuring that rainwater can flow along the predetermined trajectory, effectively reducing the possibility of splashing. This design not only enhances the aesthetics of the rainwater chain and maintains a good visual effect, but the water-guiding liner 2, with its top-larger and bottom-smaller structure, can further improve the water collection efficiency and structural stability of the rainwater chain. The combination of the water-guiding liner 2 and the inner liner reinforcing plate 17 not only enhances the internal structural strength of the rainwater chain, but also makes the water flow more stable when flowing through it, reducing water turbulence and splashing. The addition of the double-ended nut 3 further enhances the tightness of the connection between the various components of the rain chain, ensuring the stability and durability of the entire structure.
