Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bus shelter technology, specifically a bus shelter with drainage function. Background Technology
[0002] Bus shelters are generally used in conjunction with bus stops to provide shade and rain protection for passengers while waiting for buses. They are transportation facilities built at bus stops, along roadsides, or in green belts. With the increasing development of urban public transportation, bus shelters have become an indispensable and important part of the city, and their rain protection function has also received much attention.
[0003] In existing technologies, the shelter's cover is usually designed to be sloping or to collect water towards the center. However, the former structure causes rainwater to drip along the edges, making it inconvenient for pedestrians to enter the shelter, while the latter lacks a drainage system and is prone to rainwater accumulation. Moreover, during heavy rain, the area around the shelter may become flooded due to its low-lying terrain, making it inconvenient for passengers to get on and off the bus. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems of existing bus shelters with sloping or centrally converged shields. The former structure causes rainwater to drip along the edges, making it inconvenient for pedestrians to enter the bus shelter, while the latter lacks a drainage system and is prone to rainwater accumulation. Moreover, during heavy rain, the area around the bus shelter may be flooded due to the low-lying terrain, causing inconvenience for passengers getting on and off the bus.
[0005] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: providing a bus shelter with drainage function, including a foundation, a base installed on the foundation, a support column installed on the top of the base, a rain shelter installed on the top of the support column, drainage holes opened on the support column, the drainage holes communicating with the top surface of the rain shelter, a drainage groove provided on one side of the base, a drainage pipe communicating with the drainage groove installed at the bottom of the support column, a guardrail installed on the top surface of the base, and a foot pedal rotatably installed on the guardrail.
[0006] Furthermore, the rain shelter is concave arc-shaped and has side guards on both sides. The support column and the rain shelter are connected by drainage holes, which are connected to the drainage trough through the drainage pipe.
[0007] Furthermore, a drainage trough lower than its own height is provided on one side of the base. The drainage trough is opened on the foundation and is connected to an underground drainage channel through a connecting pipe.
[0008] Furthermore, the foot pedal is hinged to the bottom of the guardrail and rotated. Three mounting slots are provided on the outer side wall of the foot pedal away from the guardrail, and each mounting slot is equipped with a foldable support leg.
[0009] Furthermore, four support columns are fixedly installed on the top of the base, and guardrails and foot pedals are installed on both sides of the support columns. Drainage grooves are provided on both sides of the base.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] 1. The drainage system of the bus shelter design includes drainage channels and drainage pipes to ensure that rainwater can be drained in time during rainfall, preventing water accumulation in the waiting area and improving passenger comfort and safety. The concave arc shape of the rain shelter and the setting of drainage holes effectively prevent rainwater from entering the interior of the bus shelter. At the same time, the rainwater is guided to the drainage channel and underground drainage channel through the drainage pipes to avoid water accumulation causing inconvenience and damage to passengers and facilities.
[0012] 2. By installing foot pedals, passengers can reach the waiting area or board the bus without getting their shoes wet when the drainage channels are not draining in time during heavy rain. The foot pedals, which can be rotated and folded and installed on the side of the guardrail, are convenient to use and more practical. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0020] Combination Figures 1 to 4 The bus shelter shown includes a foundation 1, a base 2 installed on the foundation 1, a support column 3 installed on the top of the base 2, and a rain shelter 4 installed on the top of the support column 3. The feature is that: drainage holes 5 are opened on the support column 3, the drainage holes 5 are connected to the top surface of the rain shelter 4, a drainage groove 6 is provided on one side of the base 2, a drainage pipe 7 connected to the drainage groove 6 is installed at the bottom of the support column 3, a guardrail 8 is installed on the top surface of the base 2, and a foot pedal 9 is rotatably installed on the guardrail 8.
[0021] The rain shelter 4 is concave and curved with side rails on both sides, allowing rainwater to drain completely through drainage holes without dripping from the sides. Drainage holes 5 are connected to the support columns 3 and the rain shelter 4, and these holes are connected to a drainage trough 6 via a drainage pipe 7. A drainage trough 6, lower than its own height, is located on one side of the base 2, situated on the foundation 1 and connected to an underground drainage channel via a connecting pipe. A foot pedal 9 is hinged and rotatably mounted at the bottom of the guardrail 8. Three mounting slots 10 are located on the outer side of the foot pedal 9 away from the guardrail 8, each housing a foldable support leg 11. Four support columns 3 are fixedly mounted on the top of the base 2, with guardrails 8 and foot pedals 9 mounted on both sides of each column 3. Drainage troughs 6 are located on both sides of the base 2. The tops of the guardrails 8 and foot pedals 9 can be locked with screws or clips for easy and quick use and recycling.
[0022] Working principle: During use, the concave arc-shaped rain shelter 4 allows rainwater to enter the drain pipe 7 through the water holes 5 and flow into the drainage channel 6, eventually draining into the underground drainage channel. During rain, the drainage channel 6 can transport water accumulated at the base 2 of the bus shelter to prevent inconvenience to passengers. However, in the event of heavy rain, if the drainage channel 6 cannot drain water in time, rainwater may accumulate. In this case, first, disconnect the connection between the guardrail 8 and the top of the foot pedal 9, then rotate the foot pedal 9 90 degrees. One end of the foot pedal 9 will rest against the top surface of the base 2, while the other end will be supported by the unfolded folding support leg 11. This allows passengers to reach the bus shelter or exit the shelter without getting their shoes wet. The foot pedal 9 can be designed to be extendable, increasing its extension distance, facilitating retraction, and improving aesthetics.
[0023] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention.
