Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sunroofs, specifically a bottom drainage assembly for sunroofs. Background Technology
[0002] Skylight systems are widely used in modern buildings, primarily for lighting, ventilation, and regulating the indoor environment.
[0003] To ensure the proper functioning of the sunroof system and prevent rainwater accumulation and leakage, the design of the drainage system is crucial.
[0004] Existing skylight drainage systems typically include a drainage channel to guide water flow out from the bottom of the skylight.
[0005] Although existing drainage systems can meet drainage needs to a certain extent, the following problems still exist:
[0006] Low drainage efficiency: Existing drainage channels are usually designed in a simple way with limited opening area, which results in greater resistance when water flows into the drainage channel and low drainage efficiency.
[0007] During heavy rain or when the skylight is large, water may accumulate, affecting its normal use.
[0008] Insufficient structural strength: Existing drainage boards typically employ simple flat plate structures, lacking effective support and reinforcement measures.
[0009] Under the impact of water flow or external force, the drain plate is easily deformed, affecting the normal use of the drain tank and even causing leakage.
[0010] Installation is complex: The installation of existing drainage systems usually requires drilling holes in the drainage plate and fixing it to the roof with bolts or other fasteners.
[0011] This installation method is not only complicated to operate, but also prone to leakage or seepage problems due to improper installation.
[0012] Inconvenient maintenance: Due to the complexity of the installation method, the maintenance and replacement of the existing drainage system is difficult, which increases maintenance costs and time.
[0013] Although the existing patent 201920346181.1 - a thin skylight for fire protection lighting and smoke exhaust - discloses a drainage channel structure, it does not describe the specific structure of the drainage channel in detail. Judging from the attached drawings, the technology discloses a U-shaped channel structure.
[0014] Therefore, in order to solve or improve at least one of the above technical problems, it is necessary to optimize the design of the existing skylight drainage channel structure. Utility Model Content

[0022] The bottom drainage assembly for the skylight also includes a fixing unit; the fixing unit includes a fixing bracket; the fixing bracket includes a first connecting frame and a second connecting frame, the first connecting frame and the second connecting frame being intersected; the first connecting frame of the fixing bracket is fixed to the side of the drainage plate; the second connecting frame of the fixing bracket is connected to the roof base frame.
[0023] The bottom drainage assembly for the sunroof also includes an internal support mechanism located inside the drainage channel. The internal support mechanism includes a support beam. Both ends of the support beam are connected to the drainage plate via support brackets.
[0024] The support bracket includes a first support frame and a second support frame. The first support frame is connected to the side plate in the drainage plate, and the second support frame is connected to the support beam.

[0035] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the description of the preferred embodiments.
[0036] A bottom drainage assembly for a skylight includes a drainage mechanism, which includes a drainage plate 1 with a drainage groove 2. The drainage plate 1 includes a base plate 11 with side plates 12 on opposite sides. The base plate 11 and the two side plates 12 form the drainage groove 2. The base plate 11 includes a base plate 11 body with supporting protrusions 14. This invention facilitates the drainage of water from the skylight by using the drainage groove 2. The supporting protrusions 14 on the drainage plate 1 ensure the structural strength of the drainage plate 1 and also provide good flow guidance, allowing water to drain quickly from the drainage groove 2.
[0037] In this utility model, the drainage plate 1 includes a bottom plate 11 and two side plates 12 on both sides. The bottom plate 11 and the two side plates 12 form a drainage trough 2. This design forms an open drainage channel, which can effectively guide water flow out from the bottom of the skylight.
[0038] The presence of the side plate 12 not only provides lateral support for the drainage trough 2, but also prevents water from splashing or overflowing during the drainage process, ensuring a smooth and stable drainage process.
[0039] The base plate 11 has a support protrusion 14, which has multiple functions:
[0040] Enhanced structural strength: The support protrusion 14 can increase the rigidity of the base plate 11 and prevent the base plate 11 from deforming due to water flow impact or heavy object pressure.
[0041] Guiding function: The supporting protrusion 14 can guide the water flow to be discharged quickly along a predetermined path, reducing the residence time of the water flow in the drainage channel 2 and improving drainage efficiency.
[0042] Supporting the insulation board: The supporting protrusion 14 can be used as a support point to raise the insulation board, so as to avoid the insulation board directly contacting the drainage tank 2, thus not affecting the outflow of water, while ensuring the insulation effect.
[0043] The design of the drainage channel 2 allows water to drain quickly and smoothly from the bottom of the skylight, reducing the risk of water accumulation and leakage.
[0044] By rationally designing the width and depth of the drainage channel 2, it can be optimized according to the size of the skylight and drainage needs, ensuring effective drainage under various weather conditions.
[0045] The size and shape of the drainage channel 2 can be adjusted according to the specific structure of the skylight to adapt to different installation environments and drainage requirements.
[0046] For large skylights, a wider drainage channel 2 can be designed to improve drainage capacity; for small skylights, a narrower drainage channel 2 can be designed to save space.
[0047] Furthermore, in this utility model, the side plate 12 is inclined; the angle between the side plate 12 and the bottom plate 11 is greater than 90 degrees; based on this arrangement, the upper end of the drain trough 2 on the drain plate 1 has a larger opening, making it easier to collect water.
[0048] The angle between the side plate 12 and the bottom plate 11 is greater than 90 degrees, which makes the upper end of the drainage trough 2 have a larger opening; this design can significantly increase the opening area of the drainage trough 2, thereby collecting and guiding water flow more effectively.
[0049] A larger opening means that more water can enter the drainage channel 2 at the same time, reducing the time that water stays on the surface of the skylight and improving drainage efficiency.
[0050] In heavy rain or when the skylight area is large, a wider opening can significantly reduce water accumulation and ensure that water can drain quickly.
[0051] The inclined side plate 12 forms a natural flow guide surface, allowing water to flow quickly along the inclined surface of the side plate 12 to the bottom of the drainage tank 2 under the action of gravity.
[0052] This design not only improves drainage efficiency but also reduces turbulence and splashing of water in the drainage channel 2, ensuring a smooth drainage process.
[0053] A larger opening and an inclined side plate 12 can reduce the resistance when water flows into the drain trough 2, allowing water to flow into and out of the drain trough 2 more smoothly.
[0054] This design helps reduce the residence time of water in the drainage channel 2, further improving drainage efficiency.
[0055] Furthermore, in this utility model, the side plate 12 is provided with a snap-fit flange 13 at the end away from the bottom plate 11; the snap-fit flange 13 in this utility model makes the end of the side plate 12 form a hook structure, which can realize the installation limit between the side plate 12 and the adjacent connecting parts, and better ensure the stability of the connection between the drain plate 1 and the adjacent parts.
[0056] The snap-fit flange 13 design makes the connection between the side panel 12 and adjacent components (such as the skylight frame or other fixed structures) more secure; in actual installation, it is mainly connected to the side baffle in the ventilator.
[0057] The snap-fit flange 13 enables quick positioning and fixation, reducing loosening caused by external force or vibration.
[0058] The snap-fit flange 13 can also increase the rigidity of the side plate 12, further improving the structural stability of the entire drainage plate 1.
[0059] Furthermore, the bottom drainage assembly for the skylight described in this utility model also includes a fixing unit; the setting of the fixing unit facilitates the installation and fixing of the drainage plate 1 on the roof. The fixing unit in this utility model includes fixing angle brackets 5; in actual use, the number and connection position of fixing angle brackets 5 can be selected as needed.
[0060] In this utility model, the fixed corner bracket 5 includes a first connecting frame 51 and a second connecting frame 52, which are intersecting. The first connecting frame 51 is fixed to the side of the drain plate 1. The second connecting frame 52 is connected to the roof base frame 3. The fixed corner bracket 5 is composed of the first connecting frame 51 and the second connecting frame 52, which are intersecting to form an "L" shaped structure.
[0061] Meanwhile, in this invention, the base frame 3 is a ring frame. In actual connection, the base frame is mainly connected to the roof purlin, which serves as a basic installation connection and facilitates the subsequent arrangement and placement of other components of the ventilator skylight.
[0062] The first connecting bracket 51 is fixed to the side of the drain plate 1 and is used to connect the fixing bracket 5 to the drain plate 1. This connection method can avoid drilling holes in the bottom surface of the drain plate 1 and reduce the risk of water leakage from the drain plate 1.
[0063] The second connecting bracket 52 is connected to the roof base frame 3 and is used to connect the fixed corner bracket 5 to the roof structure.
[0064] The connection between the first connecting frame 51 and the drain plate 1 can be achieved by welding, bolting, or other mechanical connection methods to ensure the firmness and reliability of the connection.
[0065] Bolts are generally used for connection.
[0066] The connection between the second connecting frame 52 and the roof base frame 3 is usually made by bolts. This connection method is easy to install and disassemble, and also has high strength.
[0067] Fixed corner code 5 function
[0068] The fixing bracket 5 securely fixes the drainage plate 1 to the roof base frame 3, ensuring that the drainage plate 1 will not loosen or shift during use.
[0069] This design can effectively disperse the impact force of water flow and external forces, and improve the deformation resistance of the entire drainage system.
[0070] The design of the fixed corner bracket 5 makes the installation and removal of the drain plate 1 more convenient.
[0071] During installation, simply fix the first connecting bracket 51 of the fixing angle bracket 5 to the side of the drain plate 1, and then connect the second connecting bracket 52 to the roof base frame 3.
[0072] During disassembly, simply loosen the bolts to remove the drain plate 1 from the roof for easy maintenance and replacement.
[0073] Meanwhile, by using the fixed corner bracket 5, this utility model can avoid the problem of water seepage or leakage at the connection point when the traditional drainage board 1 is directly connected to the roof.
[0074] Furthermore, the sunroof bottom drainage assembly described in this utility model also includes an internal support mechanism 4 disposed inside the drainage groove 2. The internal support mechanism 4 includes a support beam 42. Both ends of the support beam 42 are connected to the drainage plate 1 via support brackets 41. The support brackets 41 include a first support frame and a second support frame. The first support frame is connected to the side plate 12 in the drainage plate 1, and the second support frame is connected to the support beam 42. The internal support mechanism 4 in this utility model can effectively ensure the overall structural strength of the sunroof bottom drainage assembly and reduce or avoid deformation of the drainage plate 1.
[0075] In this utility model, the supporting beam 42 is set inside the drainage trough 2 to enhance the overall structural strength of the drainage plate 1.
[0076] It can effectively disperse the impact force of water flow and external forces, preventing the drain plate 1 from deforming or being damaged during long-term use.
[0077] The support beam 42 can serve as a support point and mounting point, and can be used for the lower end installation limit of the wind deflector support plate in the sunroof assembly.
[0078] In this utility model, the two ends of the supporting beam 42 are connected to the drain plate 1 through the supporting brackets 41.
[0079] The support bracket 41 typically consists of two parts: a first support frame and a second support frame.
[0080] The first support frame is connected to the side plate 12 of the drainage plate 1.
[0081] The second support frame is connected to the support beam 42.
[0082] The support bracket 41 can be fixed to the drain plate 1 and the support beam 42 by welding, bolting or other mechanical connection methods to ensure the firmness and reliability of the connection.
[0083] Bolts are generally used for connection.
[0084] The support beam 42 has an end slot at its end, and the second support frame can be inserted into the end slot at the end of the support beam 42. This design facilitates the connection between the support beam 42 and the support bracket 41, and facilitates the installation and disassembly of the internal support mechanism 4. At the same time, in order to ensure the firmness of the installation, the support beam 42 and the second support frame are also connected by bolts.
[0085] Furthermore, in this utility model, each of the fixed corner brackets 5 corresponds to a supporting corner bracket 41, and the two relatively distributed fixed corner brackets 5 and supporting corner brackets 41 are distributed on both sides of the mating side plate 12. Based on this arrangement, the fixed corner brackets 5 and supporting corner brackets 41 can cooperate with each other and support each other, reducing the problem that the drain plate 1 is prone to deformation due to the installation of supporting corner brackets 41 or fixed corner brackets 5. At the same time, the fixed corner brackets 5 and supporting corner brackets 41 are relatively arranged, so during subsequent installation, a set of fasteners can be used to realize the installation and fixation between the fixed corner brackets 5, supporting corner brackets 41 and drain plate 1, which greatly improves the assembly efficiency.
[0086] The advantages of the cooperation between the fixed corner bracket 5 and the supporting corner bracket 41 in this utility model are:
[0087] To reduce deformation, each fixed corner bracket 5 corresponds to a supporting corner bracket 41, and the two are distributed on both sides of the side plate 12.
[0088] This design allows the fixed corner bracket 5 and the supporting corner bracket 41 to cooperate and support each other, effectively dispersing the forces generated during installation and use.
[0089] This layout reduces the deformation of the drainage plate 1 caused by the installation of support brackets 41 or fixed brackets 5, thereby improving the overall structural stability of the drainage plate 1.
[0090] Strengthening structural strength:
[0091] The relative arrangement of the fixed corner bracket 5 and the supporting corner bracket 41 ensures that the drainage plate 1 is evenly supported on both sides, further enhancing the overall structural strength of the drainage plate 1, especially its resistance to deformation when subjected to water flow impact and external forces.
[0092] Improve assembly efficiency
[0093] Simplify the installation process:
[0094] Since the fixed angle bracket 5 and the supporting angle bracket 41 are set opposite to each other, a set of fasteners (such as bolts, nuts, etc.) can be used to simultaneously install and fix the fixed angle bracket 5, the supporting angle bracket 41 and the drain plate 1 during subsequent installation.
[0095] This design greatly simplifies the installation process, reduces installation time and labor intensity, and improves assembly efficiency.
[0096] Reduce installation errors:
[0097] The fixed corner bracket 5 and the supporting corner bracket 41, which are set relatively, can be better aligned, reducing errors caused by inaccurate positioning during installation and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the installation.
[0098] Obviously, the specific implementation of this utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned methods. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
