Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of municipal construction technology, specifically a road rainwater collection inlet shielding device. Background Technology

[0002] Roadside storm drain grates are key inlet components in urban stormwater drainage systems. Installed above storm drain inlets (manhole covers), the grates' grid structure allows rainwater, snowmelt, and other water from the road surface to flow smoothly into the underground stormwater drainage system. They effectively prevent large debris such as leaves, paper, plastic bags, beverage bottles, large pieces of garbage, gravel, and branches from entering the stormwater pipes.

[0003] Currently, grates are installed above the rainwater collection inlets. However, traditional grates are permanently exposed on the road surface. The metal grating structure creates a visual contrast with the surrounding paving (such as asphalt and concrete), which looks out of place on sunny days and affects the overall road landscape (especially in areas with high aesthetic requirements such as sidewalks, squares, and scenic spots). Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a road rainwater collection inlet covering device that "invisibly" covers the rainwater inlet area on sunny days, significantly improving the aesthetics of the road surface.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A road rainwater collection inlet cover device includes a first storage box and a second storage box located on both sides of the rainwater collection inlet. The first and second storage boxes are buried in the ground with their upper surfaces flush with the ground. A slidable cover plate connects the first and second storage boxes. The upper surfaces of the first and second storage boxes and the cover plate are finished with the same material as the ground. A removable grate is provided on one side of the cover plate. When it rains, the grate is located above the rainwater collection inlet. When it is sunny, the grate is stored in the second storage box. The other half of the cover plate is located above the rainwater collection inlet.

[0007] Preferably, a guide rail is connected between the inner walls of the first storage box and the second storage box, and a guide groove that cooperates with the guide rail is provided on the side wall of the cover plate.

[0008] Preferably, the upper end face of the cover plate is provided with a mounting groove for mounting the grate, the bottom of the mounting groove is provided with a drain outlet, and a reinforcing rod is connected between the inner walls of the drain outlet.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom surfaces of both the first and second storage boxes are inclined.

[0010] Preferably, the first storage box has a drive mechanism for pushing and pulling the cover plate on its side wall, and the drive mechanism is buried underground.

[0011] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a protective box connected to the first storage box, a motor and a support sleeve are provided inside the protective box, a driving rod connected to the cover plate is provided inside the support sleeve, a guide sleeve that cooperates with the driving rod is provided on the side wall of the first storage box, a rack is provided on the side wall of the driving rod, and a gear that cooperates with the rack is provided on the output shaft of the motor.

[0012] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a protective box connected to the first storage box, and a cylinder or hydraulic cylinder is fixed inside the protective box, with the piston rod of the cylinder or hydraulic cylinder connected to the cover plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This utility model can be used flexibly according to the weather. On rainy days, it can ensure the smooth collection of rainwater and avoid water accumulation. On sunny days, the grate can be completely stored in the second storage box, and the rainwater inlet can be covered with a cover plate that matches the material and color of the ground, realizing the "invisibility" of the rainwater inlet area and greatly improving the aesthetics of the road surface.

[0015] 2. This utility model provides a flat, seamless cover plate on sunny days, eliminating the risk of getting stuck due to gaps in the grate (such as high heels, baby wheels, bicycle / electric vehicle wheels, pet paws, etc.), making walking or riding safer and more comfortable.

[0016] 3. In sunny weather, the cover plate of this utility model completely seals the rainwater inlet, physically eliminating the possibility of small foreign objects such as garbage and cigarette butts falling into the rainwater pipe, and greatly reducing the blockage problem caused by human disposal during non-rainy periods.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, a road rainwater collection inlet cover device includes a first collection box 2 and a second collection box 4 located on both sides of the rainwater collection inlet. The first collection box 2 and the second collection box 4 are embedded in the ground 1 with their upper surfaces flush with the ground 1, such as being made of concrete, or their surfaces can be embedded with materials the same as the surrounding paving (such as concrete blocks or paving tiles). A sliding cover plate 3 connects the first collection box 2 and the second collection box 4. The overall structure of the first collection box, the second collection box, and the cover plate is reinforced concrete, and its upper end is finished with the same material as the ground (such as applying a layer of concrete or asphalt to achieve a consistent effect with the ground). Figure 4 As shown, a removable grate 5 (cast iron) is provided on one side of the cover plate 3; as Figure 2 As shown, during rain, the grate 5 is positioned above the rainwater collection inlet; as Figure 1 As shown, on a sunny day, the cover plate 3 slides, and the grate 5 is stored in the second storage box 4. The other half of the cover plate 3 is located above the rainwater collection port, so that the cover plate 3 is integrated with the ground 1, greatly improving the aesthetics.

[0028] To reduce friction, such as Figure 6 As shown, a guide rail 7 is connected between the inner walls of the first storage box 2 and the second storage box 4, and a guide groove 301 that cooperates with the guide rail 7 is provided on the side wall of the cover plate 3.

[0029] like Figure 5As shown, the upper end face of the cover plate 3 is provided with an installation groove 303 for installing the grate 5. The bottom of the installation groove 303 is provided with a drain outlet 304. A reinforcing rod 305 is connected between the inner walls of the drain outlet 304. The grate 5 can be replaced if it is damaged.

[0030] The bottom surfaces of both the first storage box 2 and the second storage box 4 are inclined, so that when rainwater enters the first storage box 2 and the second storage box 4, it can flow into the rainwater collection port.

[0031] The first storage box 2 is connected to a drive mechanism 6 for moving the push and pull cover 3, and the drive mechanism 6 is buried underground.

[0032] This application provides two driving methods:

[0033] The first type uses a 604 motor for drive:

[0034] like Figure 7 As shown, the drive mechanism 6 includes a protective box 601 connected to the first storage box 2. The protective box 601 contains a motor 604 and a support sleeve 603. The support sleeve 603 contains a drive rod 607 connected to the cover plate 3. The side wall of the first storage box 2 is provided with a guide sleeve 606 that cooperates with the drive rod 607. The side wall of the drive rod 607 is provided with a rack 602. The output shaft of the motor 604 is provided with a gear 605 that cooperates with the rack 602. The motor 604 is a servo motor 604, which can precisely control the horizontal movement distance of the cover plate 3. The motor 604 can be controlled uniformly or individually.

[0035] The second method uses a pneumatic cylinder 608 or a hydraulic cylinder for drive:

[0036] like Figure 8 As shown, the drive mechanism 6 includes a protective box 601 connected to the first storage box 2. A cylinder 608 or a hydraulic cylinder is fixed inside the protective box 601. The piston rod of the cylinder 608 or the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the cover plate 3. The cylinder 608 or the hydraulic cylinder is customized according to the cover plate 3 to form a cylinder 608 or the hydraulic cylinder with a corresponding stroke. All cylinders 608 or the hydraulic cylinder can be controlled uniformly or individually by the controller.

[0037] When it rains, the grate 5 is positioned above the rainwater collection inlet, which can both block debris and ensure the smooth flow of rainwater; when it is sunny, the cover 3 slides and the grate 5 is stored in the second storage box 4. The cover 3 is aligned with the road surface to ensure the aesthetics of the road surface.

[0038] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
