[0029] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.
[0030] In related technologies, ridge panels are installed on the roof's anthropomorphic roof section to connect the roof panels on both sides, directing rainwater to the sides of the roof. Due to the protruding structure of the ridge, the waterproofing material is prone to folding or cracking, creating a potential leak point. In summer, the ridge has poor insulation, leading to increased indoor temperature, increased air conditioning usage, and higher energy consumption. The complexity of the ridge structure makes maintenance difficult and requires skilled workers. Addressing the shortcomings of the ridge requires additional design and construction costs, increasing the overall project cost. Ridge covers, developed based on integrated tile roofing systems, are fixed and sealed together, providing excellent waterproofing. Currently available ridge covers require two welding processes during installation, making joint treatment relatively complex, requiring more labor costs, and increasing the risk of incomplete welds and leaks.
[0031] Figure 1 A three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the roof ridge cover 1 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of this application is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the ridge cover 1 includes a first cover plate 11, a second cover plate 12, and a connecting plate 13, all integrally formed.
[0032] The first cover plate 11 is used to seal and cover a portion of the ridge plate 2 and the first connector 4 for covering the connection between the ridge plate 2 and the roof panel 3. Exemplarily, the first cover plate 11 may extend along a first direction, with its two side surfaces in the thickness direction being parallel, that is, the first cover plate 11 is a plate structure with uniform or constant thickness.
[0033] The second cover plate 12 is used to seal and cover a portion of the roof panel 3. Specifically, the second cover plate 12 includes a plurality of troughs 121 that appear periodically in a first direction and crests 122 located between adjacent troughs 121 and protruding from the troughs 121. The troughs 121 correspond to the troughs of the roof panel 3, and the crests 122 correspond to the crests of the roof panel 3, thereby reducing the gap between the second cover plate 12 and the roof panel 3. The specific number of crests 122 and troughs 121 depends on the dimensions of the ridge cover plate 1 in the first direction. The number of troughs 121 that appear periodically in the first direction is at least two, and the number of crests 122 is one less than the number of troughs 121. The crests 122 are generally trapezoidal structures that are smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, similar to or the same as the crest structure of the roof panel 3. Exemplarily, the crests 122 may include a straight section and two oppositely arranged inclined sections, one end of each inclined section connected to the straight section and the other end connected to the trough 121. The trough section 121 is a plate-like structure parallel to the first cover plate 11.
[0034] The connecting plate 13 is used to connect the first cover plate 11 and the second cover plate 12 and to close the gap between the first cover plate 11 and the second cover plate 12. In other words, the connecting plate 13 connects to the end of the crest portion 122 near the first cover plate 11 at its end in the first direction, and connects to the end of the first cover plate 11 near the trough portion 121 and the end of the trough portion 121 near the first cover plate 11 at its two ends in the second direction, respectively. The number of connecting plates 13 is the same as the number of trough portions 121. The two ends of the connecting plate 13 located between two crest portions 122 are respectively connected to the ends of the two crest portions 122 near the first cover plate 11. One end of the connecting plate 13 located at both ends in the first direction is connected to the end of the crest portion 122 near the first cover plate 11, and the other end is a free end for connecting to the connecting plate 13 at the end of the adjacent ridge cover sheet in the first direction.
[0035] It should be noted that the first direction refers to the direction of the extension of the ridge, and the second direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the first direction and capable of connecting the end of the first cover plate 11 near the trough 121 and the end of the trough 121 near the first cover plate 11.
[0036] The first cover plate 11, the second cover plate 12, and several connecting plates 13 form a ridge cover plate. Thus, when installing the ridge cover plate, it is only necessary to weld the ridge cover plate to the corresponding ridge plate 2 and roof panel 3, without welding the components of the ridge cover plate. This reduces the welding process, simplifies the welding process, and effectively reduces labor costs. The reduction in welding processes and the amount of welding can reduce the occurrence of incomplete welds and further reduce the risk of water leakage. At the same time, the ridge cover plate 1 of this embodiment can cover the first connector 4 to prevent the first connector 4 from rusting, and can also prevent water from flowing into the house or the interior of the roof structure from the gap between the first connector 4 and the connection hole of the ridge plate 2 and the roof panel 3.
[0037] In one embodiment, the ridge cover 1 is homogeneous with the roof panel 3 and / or the waterproof layer of the ridge. Exemplarily, the ridge cover 1 is made of thermoplastic polyolefin or polyvinyl chloride; wherein, thermoplastic polyolefin materials, specifically, novel waterproof materials made from thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) synthetic resin that combines ethylene propylene rubber and polypropylene using advanced polymerization technology as a base material, with the addition of antioxidants, anti-aging agents, and softeners, can be made into reinforced waterproof materials using polyester fiber mesh as internal reinforcing material, belonging to synthetic polymer waterproof materials.
[0038] By designing the material of the ridge cover plate 1 to be consistent with the material of the roof panel 3 and / or the waterproof layer of the ridge, it is easy to carry out welding operations of homogeneous materials, and ensure the seal between the ridge cover plate 1 and the ridge panel 2, as well as between the ridge cover plate 1 and the roof panel 3.
[0039] In one embodiment, the trough portion 121 at both ends of the first direction has a dimension in the first direction that is 0.5 times larger than the dimension in the first direction of the trough portion 121 between two adjacent crest portions 122.
[0040] With this structure, during the installation of the ridge cover plate 1, adjacent ridge cover plates 1 can overlap, and the overlap is welded and fixed, so that the adjacent ridge cover plates 1 form a whole, which has a good waterproof effect and can also play a certain role in heat preservation.
[0041] In one embodiment, the edges of the trough portions 121 at both ends of the first direction and the edges of the connecting plates 13 at both ends of the first direction are flush with the edges of the first cover plate on the same side of the first direction.
[0042] This structure makes welding easier when laying the ridge cover plate 1.
[0043] Figure 2 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a ridge roof node structure according to an embodiment of the second aspect of this application is shown. Figure 2 As shown, the ridge roof node structure includes a ridge plate 2, a roof panel 3, a first connector 4, and a ridge cover plate 1 according to any of the above embodiments.
[0044] The ridge panel 2 is installed on the gable roof section to cover the gap between the roof panels 3 on both sides, preventing rainwater, dust, and other impurities, as well as small animals, from entering the house or the roof structure through the gap. The ridge panel 2 can also be used on non-gable roof sections, such as on the higher side of a single-slope roof panel 3 used in conjunction with a gable wall. It should be noted that the example of the installation method of the ridge panel 2 in this embodiment does not limit the application of the ridge panel 2 with other installation methods of the roof panel 3.
[0045] The roof panel 3 has periodically occurring peaks and troughs in the first direction. The roof panel 3 is inclined: in a gable roof, the roof panel 3 is located on both sides of the ridge plate 2, and the height of the end farther from the ridge plate 2 is lower than the height of the end closer to the ridge plate 2; in a single-slope roof used in conjunction with a gable wall, the height of the end farther from the gable wall is lower than the height of the end closer to the gable wall. The higher end of the roof panel 3 is concealed under the ridge plate 2.
[0046] The first connector 4 is used to connect the roof panel 3 and the ridge panel 2.
[0047] The ridge cover 1 covers the outer side of the roof panel 3 and the ridge panel 2, and the ridge cover 1 at least covers the first connector 4.
[0048] The ridge cover plate 1 is integrally formed. When it is welded and fixed to the ridge plate 2 and the roof panel 3, it only needs to be welded around the ridge cover plate 1. There is no need to weld the components of the ridge cover plate 1, which reduces at least one welding process, simplifies the welding process, and reduces labor costs. Moreover, due to the reduction in the amount of welding, the risk of incomplete welding is effectively reduced, further reducing the risk of water leakage. The ridge structure uses the ridge plate 2, which, in addition to reducing the risk of water leakage, also avoids additional design, reduces design and construction costs, and makes maintenance simpler.
[0049] In one embodiment, the first connector 4 may include components such as rivets, self-tapping screws, or non-self-tapping screws that can serve a fixed connection function. For example, the first connector 4 may be a self-tapping screw, which facilitates installation and connection.
[0050] In one embodiment, the first cover plate 11 of the ridge cover 1 covers the outer side of the ridge plate 2 and covers the first connector 4. The edge of the first cover plate 11 is connected to the surface of the ridge plate 2 by hot air welding. The hot air welding is a method of heating plastic welding parts and welding rods with preheated compressed air or inert gas until they reach a viscous state, and then welding them under low pressure.
[0051] Therefore, by enclosing the part where the edge of the first cover plate 11 connects with the ridge plate 2 to form a closed area, a sealed space for protecting the first connector 4 can be defined, thereby preventing rainwater and dust and other impurities from entering the house or the interior of the roof structure through the gap between the first cover plate 11 and the ridge plate 2, preventing the first connector 4 from rusting, and further ensuring that the ridge cover plate 1 has good waterproof and dustproof performance.
[0052] In one embodiment, the ridge panel 2 includes a first metal plate layer and a first waterproof layer attached to the outside of the first metal plate layer. A first cover plate 11 of the ridge cover 1 covers the outside of the first waterproof layer and covers the first connector 4. The edge of the first cover plate 11 is connected to the surface of the first waterproof layer by hot air welding. When the ridge panel 2 is applied to the ridge roof node structure, the first metal plate layer faces the interior of the building, and the first waterproof layer faces the exterior of the building. For example, the first metal plate layer may include galvanized steel, and the material of the first waterproof layer may include thermoplastic polyolefin or polyvinyl chloride; correspondingly, the material of the ridge cover 1 is the same as the material of the first waterproof layer.
[0053] The first cover plate 11 and the first waterproof layer, which are made of the same material, are connected by hot air welding to ensure the sealing between the edge of the first cover plate 11 and the part connected to the first waterproof layer.
[0054] In one embodiment, the second cover plate 12 of the ridge cover plate 1 covers the outer side of the roof panel 3, and the edge of the second cover plate 12 is connected to the surface of the roof panel 3 by hot air welding.
[0055] Therefore, by enclosing the part where the edge of the second cover plate 12 connects with the roof panel 3 to form a closed area, rainwater and dust and other impurities can be prevented from entering the house or the interior of the roof structure through the gap between the second cover plate 12 and the roof panel 3, thus further ensuring that the ridge cover plate 1 has good waterproof and dustproof performance.
[0056] In one embodiment, the roof panel 3 includes a second metal plate layer and a second waterproof layer attached to the outside of the second metal plate layer. A second cover plate 12 of the ridge cover 1 covers the outside of the second waterproof layer, and the edge of the second cover plate 12 is connected to the surface of the second waterproof layer by hot air welding. When the roof panel 3 is applied to the ridge roof node structure, the second metal plate layer faces the interior of the building, and the second waterproof layer faces the exterior of the building. For example, the second metal plate layer may include galvanized steel, and the material of the second waterproof layer may include thermoplastic polyolefin or polyvinyl chloride; correspondingly, the material of the ridge cover 1 is the same as the material of the second waterproof layer.
[0057] The second cover plate 12 and the second waterproof layer, which are made of the same material, are connected by hot air welding to ensure the sealing between the edge of the second cover plate 12 and the part connected to the second waterproof layer.
[0058] In one embodiment, the trough portion 121 at both ends of the first direction has a dimension in the first direction that is 0.5 times larger than the dimension in the first direction of the trough portion 121 between two adjacent crest portions 122.
[0059] With this structure, during the installation of the ridge cover plate 1, adjacent ridge cover plates 1 can overlap, and the overlap is fixed by hot air welding, so that the adjacent ridge cover plates 1 form a whole, which has a good waterproof effect and also has a good heat insulation effect.
[0060] In one embodiment, the ridge roof node structure further includes purlins 7, a support layer 6, an insulation layer 5, and a second connector 8. The purlin 7 is the load-bearing structure of the roof structure, supporting the weight of the support layer 6, insulation layer 5, ridge slab 2, roof panel 3, ridge cap, etc. The support layer 6 is laid on the outside of the purlin 7 to support the insulation layer 5; exemplarily, the support layer 6 may include wire mesh. The insulation layer 5 is laid on the outside of the support layer 6, located inside the ridge slab 2 and roof panel 3; exemplarily, the insulation layer may include expanded foam. The second connector 8 passes through the roof panel 3, insulation layer 5, and support layer 6 and connects to the purlin 7, fixing the roof panel 3, insulation layer 5, and support layer 6 to the outside of the purlin 7; the second connector 8 may include rivets, self-tapping screws, non-self-tapping screws, or other components that can provide a fixed connection. For example, the second connector 8 can be a self-tapping screw, which facilitates installation and connection. In this embodiment, "outer side" refers to the side facing outwards, such as... Figure 2 As shown, "outer side" can be the upper side or the upper diagonal side; "inner side" refers to the side facing inwards, such as... Figure 2 As shown, "inner side" can be the lower side or the diagonally lower side.
[0061] By laying the support layer 6 on the purlin 7, the insulation layer 5 can be effectively fixed in the roof structure, thereby ensuring the insulation effect of the roof system; by connecting the roof panel 3, insulation layer 5, support layer 6 and purlin 7 with the second connector 8, the structural stability of each part of the roof system is ensured.
[0062] This disclosure also provides a building, including the roof structure of any embodiment of this disclosure.
