Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of accessories for ancient buildings, specifically to a ridge tile that facilitates the installation of light strips. Background Technology
[0002] Ridge tiles are tiles fixed to the roof ridge, used to divert rainwater to the roof surfaces on both sides of the ridge for drainage to the ground. With the rapid development of my country's economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, tourism has become one of the important pillar industries of the national economy. As an important carrier of my country's long history and culture, ancient-style buildings attract a large number of domestic and foreign tourists with their unique architectural style and profound cultural heritage. Scenic spots across the country have increased their efforts in developing ancient-style buildings. After the completion of ancient-style buildings, LED light strips are usually installed on the ridge tiles to outline the building's contours, adding unique light and shadow effects, enhancing its nighttime aesthetics, and increasing its attractiveness. However, the smooth surface of the ridge tiles makes it easy for the light strips to fall off when fixed with 3M adhesive. Therefore, nails are needed to fix them to the surface of the ridge tiles. First, this fixing method is prone to damage and loosening of the ridge tiles, causing cracks at the connection between the ridge tiles and the roof ridge, leading to water leakage or safety hazards. Installation and replacement are also quite cumbersome. Second, the LED light strips are installed on the surface of the ridge tiles and are directly exposed to the outdoors, which will be corroded by rain and sunlight, greatly shortening their lifespan.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0020] Example
[0021] Please see Figure 1 A ridge tile for easy installation of LED strips includes a body 10, characterized in that the body 10 includes a first LED strip mounting portion 12, a second LED strip mounting portion 13, a second flow guide portion 15, a third flow guide portion 16, a ridge tile mounting portion 18, and an upwardly protruding first flow guide portion 11. For example, the first flow guide portion 11 is an upwardly protruding arc or herringbone shape. The first flow guide portion 11, the first LED strip mounting portion 12, the second LED strip mounting portion 13, the second flow guide portion 15, the third flow guide portion 16, and the ridge tile mounting portion 18 form a cavity.
[0022] The first light strip mounting part 12 and the second light strip mounting part 13 are symmetrically and horizontally arranged on the inner side of the first guide part 11 along its length direction, and each has a plurality of mounting holes 14 for fixing the light strip.
[0023] The second guide section 15 and the third guide section 16 are respectively connected to the inner side of the first light strip mounting section 12 and the inner side of the second light strip mounting section 13, and are respectively inclined downward toward the roof on both sides of the ridge to guide the rainwater received from the first guide section 11 to the roof. For example, the second guide section 15 overlaps with one side of the roof and the third guide section 16 overlaps with the other side of the roof. Even if there is a crack at the connection between the ridge tile and the ridge, the rainwater will flow to the roof along the second guide section 15 and the third guide section 16, avoiding the leakage caused by this situation. Preferably, the inclination angle of the second guide section 15 and the inclination angle of the third guide section 16 are consistent with the inclination angle of their corresponding roofs, so that the rainwater can flow to the roof more smoothly and improve the drainage efficiency.
[0024] The ridge tile mounting part 18 is connected to both the second guide part 15 and the third guide part 16 and protrudes downward to install the ridge tile on the ridge. For example, the ridge tile mounting part 18 is wedge-shaped. For example, the outer surface of the ridge tile mounting part 18 is provided with multiple protrusions 181. The protrusions 181 provide more contact area, so that the cement can better adhere to the outer surface of the ridge tile mounting part 18. During the cement curing process, the protrusions 181 can provide additional anti-slip ability and enhance the cement fixing effect.
[0025] A ridge tile for easy installation of LED strips includes a body 10. The body 10 includes a first LED strip mounting portion 12, a second LED strip mounting portion 13, a second guide portion 15, a third guide portion 16, a ridge tile mounting portion 18, and an upwardly protruding first guide portion 11. During installation, the ridge tile mounting portion 18 is inserted into the space on the ridge to accommodate it. The second guide portion 15 and the third guide portion 16 overlap with the roof surfaces on both sides and are fixed with cement. This installation method enhances the stability of the ridge tile, making it less prone to loosening due to external forces that could cause leaks or safety hazards, such as when the LED strip is replaced and loosening could lead to leaks or safety risks. When installing the LED strip, cable ties are used to pass through the mounting... Hole 14 is used to fix the light strip to the first light strip mounting part 12 and the second light strip mounting part 13. The first light strip mounting part 12 and the second light strip mounting part 13 are horizontally arranged inside the first guide part 11. This not only prevents the light strip from being directly exposed to sunlight, but also provides a shield for the light strip mounting part when it rains, preventing rainwater from flowing through the light strip and corroding it. This design increases the stability of the ridge tile. When installing the light strip, there is no need to use nails to drill holes. Installation and disassembly are simple and quick, reducing the risk of water leakage or safety hazards caused by the ridge tile loosening when replacing the light strip. It also reduces the corrosion of the light strip by sunlight and rainwater, and extends the service life of the light strip.
[0026] In another embodiment, vertically arranged heat dissipation sections 17 are connected between the first light strip mounting section 12 and the second airflow guide section 15, as well as between the second light strip mounting section 13 and the third airflow guide section 16. The heat dissipation section 17 has multiple heat dissipation holes 171. On sunny days, due to sunlight, the ridge tile absorbs heat from solar radiation, causing the surface temperature of the ridge tile to rise, which can damage the light strip installed on the ridge tile. The symmetrical heat dissipation holes 171 help to form a good airflow path, which is conducive to the airflow between the internal cavity of the ridge tile and the external environment, increases the air exchange speed, helps the heat to dissipate quickly, and further reduces the damage of high temperature to the light strip. On rainy days, the first light strip mounting section 12 and the second light strip mounting section 13 provide a certain degree of shielding for the heat dissipation section 17 they are connected to, which can prevent rainwater from flowing through the heat dissipation section 17, thereby preventing rainwater from entering the cavity of the ridge tile from the heat dissipation holes 171 and forming water accumulation. It should be noted that the light strip can also be installed on the heat dissipation section 17 through the heat dissipation holes 171 to adapt to the requirements of different lighting effects.
[0027] In another embodiment, the heat dissipation hole 171 is inclined downward toward the roof, with an inclination angle that is higher on the inside and lower on the outside. This allows water adhering to the outer surface of the heat dissipation part 17 to flow toward the roof under the action of gravity, and will not flow into the interior of the ridge tile along the heat dissipation hole 171, further preventing water accumulation in the cavity of the ridge tile.
[0028] In another embodiment, the heat dissipation holes 171 have a smaller aperture, and multiple smaller aperture heat dissipation holes 171 form a kind of fine waterproof mesh, which can further reduce the possibility of rainwater penetration while maintaining air circulation.
[0029] In another embodiment, the first light strip mounting part 12 and the second light strip mounting part 13 are respectively inclined downward toward the roof on both sides of the ridge. The light strips installed on their surfaces are also inclined downward. Under the action of gravity, the water attached to their surfaces, such as dew or rainwater, flows toward the roof, further reducing the erosion of the light strip by water and extending the service life of the light strip. For example, the inclination angle of the first light strip mounting part 12 and the inclination angle of the second light strip mounting part 13 are both 3° to 5°, which can achieve the above effect without excessively squeezing the installation space of the light strip and increasing the installation difficulty.
[0030] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
