Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of basement ventilation components, and more specifically, it relates to a rainproof basement ventilation component. Background Technology

[0002] Basements, due to their relatively enclosed nature, typically require ventilation systems to ensure air circulation and prevent problems such as dampness and poor air quality. However, existing basement ventilation systems often use straight or simply bent ducts (designed to ensure ventilation efficiency). When connected to the outside environment, rainwater can easily enter the basement through these ducts during rain, leading to water accumulation, increased dampness, and potentially damaging equipment. Rain protection is also inadequate. While some systems install rain covers, this can further impact ventilation (existing rain covers are often simple flat, dome-shaped, or side-blocked structures; to enhance rain protection, they often reduce the size of the ventilation openings, increase the number of layers of shielding, or shorten the distance to the duct outlet. While this design reduces rainwater intrusion, it directly reduces the effective cross-sectional area for air circulation).

[0003] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application proposes a rainproof basement ventilation component. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a rainproof basement ventilation component.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rainproof basement ventilation component, comprising a Z-shaped ventilation duct embedded in the basement wall, having two horizontal sections at the top and bottom, and a vertical section connecting the two horizontal sections. A water trough seat is provided at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical sections at the bottom of the ventilation duct for collecting rainwater entering the ventilation duct. The bottom of the water trough seat is connected to the basement drainage pipe through a drain pipe.

[0006] Preferably, the inner bottom wall of the water tank is designed as a slope that is inclined toward the drain pipe.

[0007] Preferably, the water tank base and the ventilation duct are integrally formed.

[0008] Preferably, the drain pipe includes a rigid pipe section and a flexible pipe section connected to the sink seat. The rigid pipe section extends from the basement wall, and the flexible pipe section is connected to the end of the rigid pipe section. The flexible pipe section is a telescopic hose, and its end is connected to the basement sewer pipe by a clamp.

[0009] Preferably, a valve is installed at the protrusion of the rigid pipe section from the basement wall.

[0010] Preferably, a metal mesh is provided at the connection point between the ventilation duct and the outside.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the ventilation duct is threaded near its connection to the outside, and an annular shell is threadedly connected through this threaded part. The metal mesh is embedded and fixed on the opposite surface of the annular shell and the connection to the outside of the ventilation duct.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The Z-shaped ventilation duct of this utility model utilizes the tortuous path formed by its upper and lower horizontal and vertical sections to ensure air circulation and achieve ventilation while allowing rainwater entering the duct to be collected in a water tank at the intersection of the lower horizontal and vertical sections due to gravity. Subsequently, the rainwater is discharged into the basement drainage pipe through the drain pipe at the bottom of the water tank, thereby achieving effective collection and discharge of rainwater entering the ventilation duct. This avoids problems such as rainwater entering the basement and causing water accumulation and increased dampness, and eliminates the need for designs that affect ventilation effects, such as reducing the area of ​​the ventilation opening. It combines ventilation and rainproof functions to solve the problems in the background technology.

[0014] 2. The inner bottom wall of the water tank in this utility model is designed as a slope that is inclined towards the drain pipe. This can guide the rainwater entering the water tank towards the drain pipe by gravity, accelerate the flow of rainwater, and prevent rainwater from remaining in the water tank.

[0015] 3. In this utility model, the rigid pipe section extends from the basement wall and connects to the water tank seat, which can ensure the structural stability of the initial section of the drainage path and avoid the connection and sealing of the water tank seat being affected by pipe shaking. The flexible hose section can flexibly adapt to the installation distance deviation between the rigid pipe section and the basement drainage pipe through its own expansion and contraction characteristics, reducing the size matching requirements during installation and facilitating construction operations.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a rainproof basement ventilation component, including a Z-shaped ventilation duct 1 embedded in the basement wall, which has two horizontal parts at the top and bottom, and a vertical part connecting the two horizontal parts. A water trough seat 2 is provided at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical parts at the bottom of the ventilation duct 1 to collect rainwater entering the ventilation duct 1. The bottom of the water trough seat 2 is connected to the basement drainage pipe through a drain pipe 4.

[0024] The Z-shaped ventilation duct 1 utilizes the tortuous path formed by its horizontal and vertical sections to ensure air circulation and achieve ventilation. At the same time, it allows rainwater entering the duct to be drawn by gravity and collect in the water tank 2 at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical sections. Subsequently, the rainwater is discharged into the basement drainage pipe through the drain pipe 4 at the bottom of the water tank 2. This effectively collects and discharges rainwater entering the ventilation duct 1, avoiding problems such as rainwater entering the basement and causing water accumulation and increased dampness. It also eliminates the need for designs that reduce the ventilation opening area, thus affecting the ventilation effect, and takes into account both ventilation and rainproof functions.

[0025] A metal mesh 3 is installed at the connection point between the ventilation duct 1 and the outside. The specific installation structure of the metal mesh 3 is as follows: a thread is provided on the outer wall of the ventilation duct 1 near the connection point with the outside. An annular shell 6 is threaded through this threaded part. The metal mesh 3 is embedded and fixed on the opposite surface of the annular shell 6 and the connection point with the outside of the ventilation duct 1.

[0026] Rotating the annular shell 6 (with internal threads on its inner wall) clockwise allows it to connect to the ventilation duct 1 via the threaded portion. This enables the metal mesh 3, which is embedded and fixed on the annular shell 6, to be installed on the surface of the ventilation duct 1's connection to the outside. Rotating the annular shell 6 in the opposite direction allows the metal mesh 3 to be removed. The advantage of this design is that the threaded connection makes the installation and removal of the annular shell 6 and the ventilation duct 1 convenient, facilitating the regular cleaning or replacement of the metal mesh 3 and preventing the metal mesh 3 from affecting the ventilation effect due to blockage.

[0027] Furthermore, the inner bottom wall of the water tank 2 is designed as a slope that is inclined towards the drain pipe 4. This allows the rainwater entering the water tank 2 to be guided towards the drain pipe 4 by gravity, which speeds up the flow of rainwater and prevents rainwater from remaining in the water tank 2. In addition, the water tank 2 and the ventilation duct 1 are integrally formed, which enhances the sealing of the connection between the two and prevents rainwater from leaking from the connection due to assembly gaps.

[0028] Furthermore, the drainage pipe 4 includes a rigid pipe section 401 and a flexible pipe section 402 connected to the sink seat 2. The rigid pipe section 401 extends from the basement wall, and the flexible pipe section 402 is connected to the end of the rigid pipe section 401. The flexible pipe section 402 is a telescopic hose, and its end is connected to the basement drainage pipe through a clamp. The rigid pipe section 401 extending from the basement wall and connecting to the sink seat 2 can ensure the structural stability of the initial section of the drainage path and avoid the connection seal with the sink seat 2 being affected by pipe shaking. The telescopic flexible pipe section 402 can flexibly adapt to the installation distance deviation between the rigid pipe section 401 and the basement drainage pipe through its own telescopic characteristics, reducing the size matching requirements during installation and facilitating construction operations. At the same time, the clamp connection can enhance the sealing and firmness of the connection between the flexible pipe section 402 and the drainage pipe, preventing leakage during drainage. In addition, a valve 5 is installed on the part of the rigid pipe section 401 extending from the basement wall, which can prevent backflow of sewer odors and the impact of air circulation in the drainage pipe 4 on the ventilation effect when there is no rainy season or when drainage is not needed for a long time.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description. However, any modifications, alterations, or equivalent variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are considered equivalent embodiments of this utility model.
