Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flood control and water-blocking flap technology, and more specifically, to a self-folding water-blocking flap. Background Technology
[0002] To ensure the safety of passageways during the rainy season or floods, common flood prevention methods include installing detachable aluminum alloy or steel structure flood barriers at the entrances and exits of the passageways. These barriers can be installed before heavy rains or floods are expected to arrive, effectively blocking external water flow. Alternatively, traditional sandbags or new water-absorbing expansion bags can be used to construct temporary waterproof walls. The expansion bags expand rapidly when they come into contact with water, forming a sturdy water barrier.
[0003] A search revealed a prior art flood control flap driven by water buoyancy, patent publication number CN222206180U. The specification states that after assembly, the bottom connecting block is fixed to the bottom of the aluminum honeycomb panel frame. Once fixed, a rotating rod is rotated to unfold the flap. When unfolded, the rotating rod engages with the inner side of the L-shaped plate, reinforcing the corners of the honeycomb aluminum panel. This increases the support range at the docking point, ensuring the device does not break during flood control and increasing its stability. Finally, a plug is inserted into the angled hole to complete the fixation.
[0004] However, in emergency situations, it takes time for flood control personnel to install and set up flood control facilities. During sudden heavy rain, severe weather conditions will further increase the setup time for flood control facilities. If the side wall of the flip-up panel has a large friction with the external limiting parts, the flip-up panel cannot be opened easily, thus failing to block the flood in time. Therefore, a self-flipping water-blocking panel is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a self-folding flood barrier to solve the problem that in the prior art, when the side wall of the flip plate has great friction with the external limiting member in an emergency, the flip plate cannot be opened conveniently, thus failing to block floods in time.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a self-folding baffle, comprising a square tube, a sealing element installed on the upper side of the square tube by bolts, and multiple locking blocks snapping into the inside of the sealing element so that the locking blocks can limit the sealing element. A panel is slidably connected to the right side of the locking block, and connecting plates are bolted to both the front and rear sides of the panel. The two sides of the sealing element are fitted between the panel and the connecting plates. Multiple skeletons are fixedly connected to the right side of the locking block.
[0007] The left side of the panel is fixedly connected to a limiting component, and the limiting component has a slot inside, which engages with a locking block.
[0008] The panel has an internal mounting groove, and an elastic element is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove. An mounting piece is fixedly connected to the other end of the elastic element, and the end of the mounting piece away from the elastic element is fixedly connected to the locking block.
[0009] The bottom end of the square tube is fixedly connected to the ground, and the frame is rotated 90° to fit against the ground.
[0010] The front side of the seal is fitted between the limiting member and the panel.
[0011] The side of the card block away from the mounting piece is an arc-shaped block structure, and the side of the card block closer to the mounting piece is slidably connected to the inside of the mounting groove, and the mounting piece is slidably connected to the inside of the mounting groove.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] In the above solution, bolts are used to connect the seal to the contact part of the square tube and the panel, and a clamp is used to connect the seal to the panel. This reduces the use of bolts, making the installation of the seal faster and the water baffle easier to assemble. This allows for timely flood control. Furthermore, the seal not only serves as a connector but also blocks floodwater, making it a multi-purpose component and thus more economical to use. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a self-folding water-blocking plate, including a square tube 1, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the ground. A sealing element 2 is installed on the upper side of the square tube 1 by bolts. Multiple locking blocks 3 are snapped into the inside of the sealing element 2, which replace some of the bolts to improve the installation efficiency of the sealing element 2. A panel 4 is slidably connected to the right side of the locking block 3, providing space for the locking block 3 and pushing the sealing element 2 to move. Connecting plates 5 are bolted to both the front and rear sides of the panel 4, and the two sides of the sealing element 2 are fitted between the panel 4 and the connecting plates 5, sealing the water. Component 2 is bolted to the clamping block 3 and the connecting plate 5, which makes the installation stability of the sealing component 2 high. Multiple skeletons 11 are fixedly connected to the right side of the clamping block 3. After the skeletons 11 are rotated 90°, they fit against the ground. When the panel 4 is in contact with the ground, water will enter the space between the panel 4 and the ground. Under the impact of the water flow, the panel 4 can drive the skeletons 11 to rotate, thereby blocking the water flow. At this time, the skeletons 11 play a protective role for the panel 4, reducing the impact of the water flow on the panel 4, so that the panel 4 will not easily deform. The skeletons 11 can serve multiple purposes.
[0022] When the seal 2 needs to be installed, it is attached to the panel 4, allowing the locking block 3 to engage with the inside of the seal 2, thereby limiting the seal 2. The side of the seal 2 that is attached to the square tube 1 is then fixed with bolts, and the side of the seal 2 that is attached to the connecting plate 5 is also fixed with bolts, making the installation of the seal 2 convenient. At this time, water will enter the space between the panel 4 and the ground, and under the impact of the water flow, the panel 4 will cause the frame 11 to flip, thereby blocking the flood in time. The seal 2 not only acts as a connector, but also works with the locking block 3 to block the flood, making the seal 2 a multi-purpose component, thus making it more economical to use.
[0023] Example 2: Based on Example 1, in order to improve the installation stability of the seal 2, a limiting member 6 is fixedly connected to the left side of the panel 4. The limiting member 6 has a slot 7 inside, which engages with the block 3. The front side of the seal 2 is attached between the limiting member 6 and the panel 4, so that the limiting member 6 and the panel 4 can limit the seal 2.
[0024] When the seal 2 is installed between the limiting member 6 and the panel 4, the friction between the limiting member 6, the panel 4 and the seal 2 is large, and the locking block 3 can penetrate the seal 2 and engage with the inside of the locking groove 7, which makes the installation stability of the panel 4 high, thus making the panel 4 less likely to fall off.
[0025] Example 3: Based on Example 2, in order to facilitate the disassembly of the seal 2 and improve the installation stability of the seal 2, the panel 4 has an installation groove 8 inside. An elastic element 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation groove 8. An installation piece 9 is fixedly connected to the other end of the elastic element 10. The installation piece 9 is used to drive the locking block 3 to move. The end of the installation piece 9 away from the elastic element 10 is fixedly connected to the locking block 3. The side of the locking block 3 away from the installation piece 9 is an arc block structure, which allows the locking block 3 to easily enter the interior of the seal 2. The arc of the locking block 3 is exposed to the outside, so that the external water flow and impurities inside the water flow can move along its arc surface, thereby preventing the locking block 3 from being pushed by impurities, making the locking block 3 more stable. The side of the locking block 3 near the installation piece 9 is slidably connected to the interior of the installation groove 8. The installation groove 8 plays a limiting role for the locking block 3, allowing the locking block 3 to slide smoothly. The installation piece 9 is slidably connected to the interior of the installation groove 8. The installation groove 8 plays a limiting role for the installation piece 9, so that the installation piece 9 will not deviate when sliding.
[0026] When it is necessary to disassemble the seal 2, by pushing the locking block 3, the locking block 3 can slide into the interior of the seal 2, and the locking block 3 can deform by pressing the elastic element 10 through the mounting piece 9. At this time, by pulling the seal 2, the seal 2 can slide against the arc of the locking block 3, and a part of the seal 2 can separate from one of the locking blocks 3, and the seal 2 will deform. Under the same principle, the locking blocks 3 are pushed in sequence, so that the seal 2 can be disassembled. Conversely, when the seal 2 slides between the limiting member 6 and the panel 4, the elastic element 10 can perform a reset movement, which in turn allows the elastic element 10 to push the mounting piece 9 to move to the left, so that the mounting piece 9 can push the locking block 3 through the interior of the seal 2 and engage with the slot 7, thereby limiting the seal 2.
[0027] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0028] When water blocking is required using this device, pushing the locking block 3 allows it to slide into the interior of the seal 2. The locking block 3 then deforms by pressing the elastic element 10 against the mounting plate 9. At this point, the seal 2 slides between the limiting member 6 and the panel 4. During this process, the seal 2 slides against the arc of the locking block 3. Once the seal 2 is in contact with the limiting member 6 and the panel 4, the elastic element 10 returns to its original position, pushing the mounting plate 9 to the left. This causes the mounting plate 9 to push the locking block 3 through the seal 2 and engage with the slot 7, thus allowing the seal 2 to be blocked. The sealing element 2 is then fixed to the side of the square tube 1 that is in contact with the sealing element 2 with the sealing element 1 with bolts, and the side of the sealing element 2 that is in contact with the connecting plate 5 is also fixed with bolts. This allows the sealing element 2 to be installed conveniently, thereby reducing the use of bolts and making the installation more efficient. At this time, water will enter the space between the panel 4 and the ground. Under the impact of the water flow, the panel 4 will cause the frame 11 to flip, thereby blocking the flood in time. In addition, the sealing element 2 not only acts as a connector, but also works with the locking block 3 to block the flood, making the sealing element 2 multi-functional and thus more economical to use.
