Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of termite control technology, and in particular to a termite control structure for newly built houses. Background Technology

[0002] Termites are highly destructive insects that cause significant damage to timber and other organic building materials during construction and use, sometimes even leading to structural failure. With rapid urbanization and climate change, the distribution and severity of termite damage are increasing, posing a serious challenge to the construction industry.

[0003] Termite control during construction is crucial for ensuring the long-term stability and safety of buildings. Termite infestation can create potential safety hazards, shorten the building's lifespan, and in severe cases, cause substantial economic losses.

[0004] Many termite control techniques already exist in the existing technology, and many are patented technologies. For example, Chinese patent application number 202022129869.X discloses a simple termite control device for buildings, including an inlet, a feed pipe fixedly installed at the bottom of the inlet, and a liquid delivery pipe fixedly installed at the bottom of the feed pipe. The inner wall of the liquid delivery pipe is lined with a sponge, and the outer wall of the liquid delivery pipe has perforations. A support ring is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the liquid delivery pipe. This simple termite control device for buildings has a fixed rod, which is fitted into the liquid delivery pipe through the support ring. The plug can insert the fixed rod into a pipe groove next to the building, so that the liquid delivery pipe is placed in the pipe groove. By injecting liquid medicine into the inlet, the liquid medicine can flow into the liquid delivery pipe. With the help of the sponge, the liquid medicine can be effectively diffused. The liquid medicine will flow into the soil through the perforations, which facilitates effective termite control.

[0005] Many existing termite control techniques rely on chemical methods. During the construction of a soil chemical barrier, it's essential to first analyze soil moisture and composition to select the appropriate pesticide. The chemical pesticide is sprayed or injected into the soil to create an effective barrier, effectively preventing termites from invading the building structure. However, regular maintenance and reapplication are necessary, resulting in high long-term maintenance costs and significant waste.

[0006] For example, Chinese patent application number 201910845945.6 discloses a termite control pipeline device for buildings, belonging to the field of termite control technology. It solves the problem of insufficient sustainability in existing termite control methods. This termite control pipeline device is characterized by comprising pipelines and a pesticide inlet pipe. A pipeline trench is dug in the ground, and the pipeline is laid within the trench. One end of the pesticide inlet pipe is connected to the pipeline, and the other end extends out of the ground to connect with a pesticide injection device. Several pesticide holes are spaced apart on the pipeline. The outside of the pipeline is covered with a non-woven sponge layer, and the space between the sponge layer and the inner wall of the trench is filled with permeable sand. This structure provides physical isolation, but it still relies primarily on pesticide control and requires long-term pesticide application. If problems such as pipeline blockage occur, maintenance is also necessary, resulting in high operating costs.

[0007] Of course, existing technologies also include physical isolation structures such as stainless steel mesh or termite-proof boards, or sand barriers. However, the usage and installation methods of these physical structures have not been comprehensively optimized and are used independently, making it relatively easy for termites to break through, which needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a termite control structure for newly built houses with better physical control effects.

[0009] The above-mentioned objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a termite control structure for newly built houses, comprising a rectangular foundation, with a straight metal protective reinforcing rod fixed on each of the four peripheral parts of the foundation (front, left, back, and right). The four straight metal protective reinforcing rods are connected end to end to form a rectangular reinforcing frame. A slanted metal reinforcing rod is fixed at each of the four corners of the rectangular reinforcing frame. Adjacent slanted metal reinforcing rods and the straight metal protective reinforcing rod between the two slanted metal reinforcing rods surround an isosceles trapezoidal area, and an isosceles trapezoidal metal anti-termite net for blocking termites is tensioned and fixed within the isosceles trapezoidal area.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, each of the isosceles trapezoidal regions has at least two or more metal anti-ant nets distributed at vertical intervals.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a granular barrier layer for blocking termites is filled between two spaced-apart metal anti-termite nets.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the particle barrier layer is formed by the accumulation of mineral particles, the fineness of which is 5-10 mm, and the aperture of the metal anti-termite mesh is less than 1 mm.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the straight metal protective reinforcing rod is located on the upper surface of the foundation and forms a prevention initiation interval area between it and the edge of the foundation on the same side, and the lowest metal anti-termite mesh is in contact with the upper surface of the prevention initiation interval area.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the foundation is provided with four anti-termite boards that can cover the straight metal protective reinforcement rods and abut against the wall.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the anti-ant board is in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid and the lower surface of the front part forms an upwardly recessed isosceles trapezoidal step. The straight metal protective reinforcing rod is a rod with a square cross-section. The upper surface of the straight metal protective reinforcing rod is in contact with the horizontal step surface of the isosceles trapezoidal step. The vertical surface of the straight metal protective reinforcing rod on the side facing the house is in contact with the vertical step surface of the isosceles trapezoidal step.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the anti-ant board, the straight metal protective reinforcing rod, and the foundation are connected and fixed together by ground nails inserted vertically.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, each of the four corners of the rectangular reinforcing frame has two or more equally spaced diagonal metal reinforcing rods fixed thereon.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the waist edge of the metal anti-ant net is welded and fixed to the inclined metal reinforcing rod, and the top edge of the metal anti-ant net on the foundation side is also welded and fixed to the straight metal protective reinforcing rod.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it provides more effective physical isolation against termites, making it difficult for termites to enter the building from the vicinity; it is also more sustainable, requires less frequent maintenance, has controllable costs, and the structure is more stable and reliable.

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.

[0028] Examples, such as Figure 1-6As shown, a termite control structure for newly constructed houses includes a rectangular foundation 1. The foundation 1 is a conventional civil engineering structure, the basis of the house construction, the soil or rock mass supporting the foundation below the building, and a key structural component that bears and transmits the building's load. Generally, artificial foundations are used: soil layers reinforced through techniques such as replacement, dynamic compaction, and pile foundations, which are essential structures in modern architecture. Next, a straight metal protective reinforcing rod 11 is fixed to each of the four perimeters of the foundation 1 (front, left, back, and right). The straight metal protective reinforcing rod 11 is parallel to the perimeter of the foundation 1; for example, the front straight metal protective reinforcing rod 11 is parallel to the front side of the foundation 1. The straight metal protective reinforcing rod 11 is located within the area covered by the upper surface of the foundation 1. Further, the four straight metal protective reinforcing rods 11 are sequentially fixed end-to-end to form a rectangular reinforcing frame. The four straight metal protective reinforcing rods 11 can be fixed end-to-end by welding, or by other existing integral molding or bolt fixing methods. However, we recommend on-site welding for on-site adjustment and fixation. Furthermore, a diagonal metal reinforcing rod 12 is fixed to each of the four corners of the rectangular reinforcing frame. One of the diagonal metal reinforcing rods 12 extends outward at a 45-degree angle to the left front, while the others extend outward at a 45-degree angle to the right front, left rear, and right rear. One end of the diagonal metal reinforcing rod 12 can be welded and fixed to the corner of the rectangular reinforcing frame. Furthermore, two adjacent diagonal metal reinforcing rods 12 and the straight metal protective reinforcing rod 11 between them form an isosceles trapezoidal area. Within this isosceles trapezoidal area, a metal termite-proof net 2, also in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid, is tensioned and fixed. The two adjacent diagonal metal reinforcing rods 12 and the straight metal protective reinforcing rod 11 form a semi-enclosed area. The two waist edges of the metal termite-proof net 2 can be welded and fixed to the diagonal metal reinforcing rods 12, while the top edge near the straight metal protective reinforcing rod 11 can be welded and fixed to the straight metal protective reinforcing rod 11.

[0029] The straight metal protective reinforcing rod 11, the oblique metal reinforcing rod 12, and the metal anti-termite mesh 2 can all be made of stainless steel, or better yet, of copper, which has better corrosion resistance.

[0030] With this design, the area where the metal anti-termite mesh is arranged on the outside is more reasonable. It is difficult for termites to enter the building directly from underground, reducing shortcuts and greatly reducing the damage caused by termites to the building.

[0031] Preferably, each of the isosceles trapezoidal regions has at least two or more metal anti-ant nets 2 distributed vertically at intervals. The design of multiple layers of metal anti-ant nets 2 will result in better protection.

[0032] Preferably, a granular barrier layer 3 for blocking termites is filled between the two spaced-apart metal termite-proof meshes 2. This granular barrier layer 3 is a physical barrier composed of accumulated particles, effectively blocking termite activity while maintaining good air permeability, thus avoiding interference with the normal drainage function of the soil. Furthermore, the granular barrier layer 3 is composed of accumulated mineral particles with a fineness of 5-10 mm, such as vermiculite or sepiolite. The pore size of the metal termite-proof mesh 2 needs to be less than 1 mm, and can be controlled to around 0.5 mm.

[0033] Preferably, the straight metal protective reinforcing rod 11 is located on the upper surface of the foundation 1 and forms a prevention initiation interval area h between itself and the edge of the foundation 1 on the same side. The lowermost metal termite-proof mesh 2 is attached to the upper surface of the prevention initiation interval area h, meaning the straight metal protective reinforcing rod 11 is recessed within the upper surface of the foundation. Therefore, a portion of the metal termite-proof mesh 2 is also directly above the foundation 1, corresponding to the prevention initiation interval area h. Thus, the lowermost metal termite-proof mesh 2 needs to be attached to the upper surface of the prevention initiation interval area h, making it more difficult for termites to enter the building. Furthermore, this structure offers relatively good stability.

[0034] Furthermore, four anti-termite panels 4 are laid on the foundation 1, covering the straight metal protective reinforcement rods 11 and abutting against the wall. The anti-termite panels 4 can be rectangular or isosceles trapezoidal in shape and spliced ​​together to form a rectangular frame structure. The splicing joints can be filled and connected with sealant. The anti-termite panels 4 abut against the building wall, and sealant can also be applied to the abutting position.

[0035] Preferably, the termite-proof board 4 is in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid, with an upwardly recessed isosceles trapezoidal step 40 formed on the lower surface of its front portion. The straight metal protective reinforcing rod 11 is a rod with a square cross-section. The upper surface of the straight metal protective reinforcing rod 11 is in contact with the horizontal step surface of the isosceles trapezoidal step 40, and the vertical surface of the straight metal protective reinforcing rod 11 on the side facing the house is in contact with the vertical step surface of the isosceles trapezoidal step 40. This structure ensures compactness and stability. Furthermore, the bottom surface of the termite-proof board 4 is in contact with the upper surface of the foundation 1. The termite-proof board can be made of existing corrosion-resistant and high compressive strength materials, such as inorganic fiberboard.

[0036] Furthermore, the termite-proof board 4, the straight metal protective reinforcing rod 11, and the foundation 1 are connected and fixed together by vertically inserted ground nails 41. Of course, before driving in the ground nails, the termite-proof board 4 and the straight metal protective reinforcing rod 11 can be bonded to the upper surface of the foundation with glue or cement to further improve the structural stability.

[0037] Preferably, each of the four corners of the rectangular reinforcing frame has two or more vertically spaced diagonal metal reinforcing rods 12, and the number of rods is equal. Each diagonal metal reinforcing rod 12 is connected to two metal anti-ant nets 2 at the same horizontal position, because each diagonal metal reinforcing rod 12 has two circumferentially adjacent diagonal metal reinforcing rods 12, and a metal anti-ant net 2 is fixed between each two adjacent diagonal metal reinforcing rods 12.

[0038] Furthermore, the waist edge of the metal anti-ant net 2 is welded and fixed to the inclined metal reinforcing rod 12, and the top edge of the metal anti-ant net 2 on the side near the foundation 1 is also welded and fixed to the straight metal protective reinforcing rod 11. As mentioned above, the applicant recommends using welding for fixing.

[0039] Of course, soil treatment is also required during the installation of this structure. The general installation process is recommended as follows: First, position and pre-fix the straight metal protective reinforcement rods 11 to the foundation. Then, backfill the soil around the foundation. Next, weld the diagonal metal reinforcement rods 12 to the corners of the rectangular reinforcement frame. Weld the lowest diagonal metal reinforcement rod 12 first, and then weld the lowest metal termite-proof mesh 2 between the lowest diagonal metal reinforcement rods 12, ensuring the soil is just below the lowest metal termite-proof mesh 2. This will make the metal termite-proof mesh 2 relatively flat. Then, lay the granular barrier layer 3 on top of the lowest metal termite-proof mesh 2. Continue to fix the uppermost diagonal metal reinforcement rods 12 and metal termite-proof mesh 2 on top of the granular barrier layer 3. Generally, two metal termite-proof mesh 2 and one granular barrier layer 3 are sufficient. Of course, if there are three metal termite-proof mesh 2, then two granular barrier layers 3 are needed. Finally, some soil or more mud needs to be laid on top of the uppermost metal termite-proof mesh 2 to cover it. Then, on one side of the foundation, place the termite-proof board 4 over the straight metal protective reinforcement rod 11 and abut it against the wall, ensuring the termite-proof board 4 is properly joined. Apply sealant to any gaps. Then, drive in the ground nails.

[0040] This design offers good aesthetics, compactness, and compatibility with other buildings. More importantly, it provides a more robust physical termite protection system around the house, making it difficult for termites to enter from the bottom up. This system is sustainable for longer periods, requires no maintenance, and can be used long-term. With this system, large-scale termite invasions are much less likely. For even better control, termite traps can be buried around the house to ensure that any small number of termites that do manage to enter are eliminated, making the overall control even more foolproof.

[0041] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
