Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to exhaust ducts in buildings, and in particular to a universally adjustable connector and a highly airtight exhaust duct. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most residential kitchen and bathroom exhaust systems use precast cement exhaust ducts. CN205296741U discloses a combined exhaust duct, which includes multiple exhaust pipe sections and multiple hollow sleeves. Adjacent exhaust pipe sections are connected through the same sleeve, and the sleeves are equipped with limiting plates around their perimeter. Currently, exhaust ducts on the market are manufactured in sections and installed by splicing them together on-site. Due to errors in manufacturing and installation processes, the joints between exhaust pipe sections cannot be perfectly aligned while maintaining overall verticality. These errors accumulate, causing the gaps at the joints to widen. Even with on-site adjustments, gaps remain, leading to smoke leakage. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an exhaust duct that can be universally adjusted according to building errors during on-site construction, and maintains a high degree of airtightness at the joints between each exhaust duct section.

[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0005] A universally adjustable connector includes a body with spherical arc edges at both ends for airtight connection with the end opening of an exhaust duct. The body is provided with vent holes for connecting the exhaust ducts of the upper and lower layers.

[0006] The main body is a spherical arc surface connector, and the arc edges at the upper and lower ends of the spherical arc surface are airtightly connected to the end opening of the exhaust channel.

[0007] Alternatively, the main body may be a circular pipe, with flanges or ferrules at both ends, wherein the flanges or ferrules are spherical arc edges. The spherical arc edges may be convex or concave.

[0008] The vent is aligned with the central axis of the body.

[0009] A highly sealed exhaust duct includes multiple exhaust duct sections, each exhaust duct section has an air inlet on its side, and adjacent exhaust duct sections are universally connected by the aforementioned universally adjustable connector.

[0010] Supporting steel bars are provided below the burr edge, and the supporting steel bars are fixedly connected to the floor slab.

[0011] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: Because adjacent exhaust duct sections are connected by a universally adjustable connector, adjustments can be made during on-site construction to account for building errors, preventing the accumulation of errors. The spherical arc edge fits tightly with the end openings of each exhaust duct section, maintaining a high degree of airtightness at the joints, effectively preventing waterproofing, smoke transmission, and odor transfer. The supporting steel bars distribute the weight of each exhaust duct section across the floor slabs, effectively preventing weight accumulation on the bottom-floor exhaust ducts.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, a highly sealed exhaust duct includes multiple exhaust duct sections, each exhaust duct section has an air inlet on its side, and adjacent exhaust duct sections are universally connected by the aforementioned universally adjustable connector.

[0025] Each exhaust duct section is omnidirectionally connected via adjustable connectors, allowing for adjustments during on-site construction to account for building errors and prevent cumulative variations. The spherical arc edges fit snugly into the end openings of each exhaust duct section, maintaining a high degree of airtightness at the joints and effectively preventing waterproofing, smoke ingress, and odor transfer. Example
