Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building construction technology, and in particular to a structure for ceramic rods used on pitched roofs. Background Technology

[0002] Terracotta rods, as a new type of building decoration material, are widely used in the facades, shading systems, and interior decoration design of modern buildings. They possess advantages such as natural texture, stable color, strong weather resistance, and low maintenance costs, making them highly favored by architects. Currently, terracotta rods are mainly installed in building curtain wall systems, with typical applications including exterior vertical grilles, louvered shading, and interior partition walls. Installation methods are primarily horizontal or vertical, and they are commonly found in plan or elevation structures.

[0003] Currently available or used terracotta rod installation techniques are mostly limited to vertical or horizontal wall construction, primarily relying on aluminum profile slots, steel frame keels, or point-mounted brackets for positioning and fixation. These structures lack the ability to handle directional loads on inclined surfaces, eaves projections, and ridge terminations. Furthermore, there are significant technological gaps in areas such as structural force transmission paths, waterproofing details, modular splicing methods, and wind pressure resistance. In addition, while traditional clay tiles are widely used in pitched roof construction, their significant weight, limited ventilation and insulation performance, and inability to achieve material uniformity and aesthetic harmony with modern building facade systems present a contradiction between aesthetics and technology. Therefore, achieving stable installation of terracotta rods on pitched roofs while balancing mechanical performance and aesthetic continuity has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to achieve stable installation of ceramic rods on sloping roofs while taking into account both mechanical performance and aesthetic continuity.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a structure for ceramic rods on pitched roofs, including an outer wall, a roof panel, ceramic rod components, and connecting components;

[0006] An obtuse angle is provided between the roof panel and the exterior wall, and the roof panel is fixedly connected to the top of the exterior wall;

[0007] The ceramic rod assembly includes a first ceramic rod and a fixing rod. The first ceramic rod has a first fixing hole, and the fixing rod has a second fixing hole.

[0008] The connecting assembly includes a connecting plate and multiple bolts. The connecting plate has a first connecting hole and a second connecting hole. One bolt passes through the first connecting hole and the first fixing hole in sequence to fix the first ceramic rod and the connecting plate. Another bolt passes through the second connecting hole and the second fixing hole in sequence to fix the fixing rod and the connecting plate. The first ceramic rod and the fixing rod are staggered and connected to each other through the connecting plate. The fixing rod is fixedly connected to the roof panel.

[0009] Preferably, the first ceramic rod extends along a first direction, the fixing rod extends along a second direction, the first fixing hole extends along a second direction, and the second fixing hole extends along a third direction;

[0010] The connecting plate includes a first plate and a second plate fixedly connected to the first plate. The first plate extends along a third direction, and the second plate extends along a second direction. A first connecting hole is provided in the first plate, and a second connecting hole is provided in the second plate.

[0011] Among them, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0012] Preferably, there are multiple connecting plates, which are spaced apart and connected to both sides of the first ceramic rod along the second direction.

[0013] Preferably, there are multiple first ceramic rods, which are connected to the fixed rod at intervals along the second direction.

[0014] Preferably, there are multiple fixing rods, which are connected to the first ceramic rod at intervals along the first direction. Each first ceramic rod is provided with multiple first fixing holes at intervals along the first direction. One first ceramic rod is connected to the corresponding first plate through multiple first fixing holes in sequence to connect the first ceramic rod to the multiple fixing rods.

[0015] Preferably, the first ceramic rod includes multiple first ceramic segments, each of which is hollow. The connecting component also includes an inner sleeve insert, which has multiple insertion holes. The inner sleeve insert is located within two adjacent first ceramic segments, and the two adjacent first ceramic segments are connected to the inner sleeve insert by bolts to connect the two adjacent first ceramic segments to each other.

[0016] Preferably, the structure for the ceramic rod for the pitched roof further includes a fixing rod, the roof panel includes reinforcing bars, fixing members set with spaced reinforcing bars, and concrete poured on the periphery of the reinforcing bars and fixing members, the fixing members are fixedly connected to the concrete, the fixing rod extends along the second direction and is welded to the fixing member, and the first ceramic rod is connected to the fixing rod by bolts to be connected to the roof panel.

[0017] Preferably, the construction of the ceramic rod for the pitched roof also includes a gasket, the gasket being pressed against the fixing rod and the connecting plate.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the structure of the ceramic rod for sloping roofs in this embodiment of the utility model has the following advantages:

[0019] (1) Traditional terracotta rod installation relies on vertical or horizontal joists, which cannot adapt to the oblique load of pitched roofs. The roof panel is connected to the exterior wall at an obtuse angle to form a rigid base that conforms to the slope. The terracotta rod assembly is rigidly anchored to the connecting plate by bolts, and the connecting plate is directly fixed to the roof panel. This enables reliable installation of terracotta rods on pitched roofs, improves wind pressure resistance and structural integrity, and fills the technical gap in installation on inclined surfaces.

[0020] (2) Traditional densely laid terracotta tiles lead to poor drainage and ventilation; the terracotta rods in the curtain wall lack roof waterproofing capabilities. The roof panel serves as a continuous waterproof base layer, with an obtuse angle structure guiding rainwater down the slope; the first terracotta rod and the fixing rod are staggered with gaps to form an air circulation layer, and the staggered gaps form a passive ventilation cavity, reducing heat accumulation on the roof. This avoids the risk of leakage, while reducing building energy consumption through natural ventilation, thus balancing waterproofing and sustainable design requirements.

[0021] (3) The bolt connection plate of the first ceramic rod and the fixed rod allows for precise positioning and quick replacement, reducing the time spent working at height. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the use of terms such as "longitudinal", "lateral", "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" to indicate the orientation or positional relationship is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention for using ceramic rods for pitched roofs includes an outer wall 1, a roof panel 2, a ceramic rod assembly 3, and a connecting assembly 4.

[0033] An obtuse angle is provided between the roof panel 2 and the exterior wall 1, and the roof panel 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the exterior wall 1;

[0034] The ceramic rod assembly 3 includes a first ceramic rod 31 and a fixing rod 32. The first ceramic rod 31 is provided with a first fixing hole, and the fixing rod 32 is provided with a second fixing hole.

[0035] The connecting assembly 4 includes a connecting plate 41 and a plurality of bolts 42. The connecting plate 41 is provided with a first connecting hole and a second connecting hole. One bolt 42 passes through the first connecting hole and the first fixing hole in sequence to fix the first ceramic rod 31 and the connecting plate 41. Another bolt 42 passes through the second connecting hole and the second fixing hole in sequence to fix the fixing rod 32 and the connecting plate 41. The first ceramic rod 31 and the fixing rod 32 are staggered and connected to each other through the connecting plate 41. The fixing rod 32 is fixedly connected to the roof panel 2.

[0036] Based on the above solution, traditional terracotta rod installation relies on vertical or horizontal joists, which cannot adapt to the oblique loads of pitched roofs. The roof panel 2 is connected to the exterior wall 1 at an obtuse angle, forming a rigid base that conforms to the slope. The terracotta rod assembly 3 is rigidly anchored to the connecting plate 41 by bolts, and the connecting plate 41 is directly fixed to the roof panel 2. This achieves reliable installation of terracotta rods on pitched roofs, improves wind pressure resistance and structural integrity, and fills the technical gap in installation on inclined surfaces. The roof panel 2 serves as a continuous waterproof base layer, and its obtuse angle structure guides rainwater to flow down the slope. The staggered joints of the first terracotta rod 31 and the fixing rod 32 form an air circulation layer, and the staggered joints form a passive ventilation cavity, reducing heat accumulation on the roof. This avoids the risk of leakage and reduces building energy consumption through natural ventilation, balancing waterproofing and sustainable design requirements. The bolted connection of the first terracotta rod 31 and the fixing rod 32 to the connecting plate 41 allows for precise positioning and quick replacement, reducing high-altitude work time.

[0037] Furthermore, the first ceramic rod 31 extends along the first direction, the fixing rod 32 extends along the second direction, the first fixing hole extends along the second direction, and the second fixing hole extends along the third direction;

[0038] The connecting plate 41 includes a first plate and a second plate fixedly connected to the first plate. The first plate extends along a third direction, and the second plate extends along a second direction. A first connecting hole is provided in the first plate, and a second connecting hole is provided in the second plate.

[0039] Among them, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0040] Based on the above scheme, the first ceramic rod 31 extends along the first direction, and the fixing rod 32 extends along the second direction, respectively bearing the component of the roof gravity and the lateral wind load. The connecting plate 41 provides the anchoring force of the vertical roof panel 2, so that the diagonal load is decomposed into three independent transmission paths, avoiding fatigue fracture of the connection node caused by multi-directional stress coupling.

[0041] Furthermore, there are multiple connecting plates 41, which are spaced apart and connected to both sides of the first ceramic rod 31 along the second direction.

[0042] Based on the above scheme, multiple connecting plates 41 are spaced apart along the second direction, and the roof gravity load and wind suction are transmitted to the roof panel 2 through discrete nodes, so as to avoid the first ceramic rod 31 being subjected to force on one side.

[0043] Furthermore, there are multiple first ceramic rods 31, which are connected to the fixed rod 32 at intervals along the second direction.

[0044] Based on the above solution,

[0045] Furthermore, there are multiple fixing rods 32, which are connected to the first ceramic rods 31 at intervals along the first direction. Each first ceramic rod 31 is provided with multiple first fixing holes at intervals along the first direction. One first ceramic rod 31 is connected to the corresponding first plate through multiple first fixing holes in sequence to connect the first ceramic rod 31 to the multiple fixing rods 32.

[0046] Based on the above scheme, multiple fixing rods 32 and multiple fixing rods 32 are arranged at intervals in the first direction and the second direction to form a grid, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the ceramic rod assembly 3.

[0047] Furthermore, the first ceramic rod 31 includes multiple first ceramic segments 311, each of which is hollow. The connecting component 4 also includes an inner sleeve insert 43, which has multiple insertion holes. The inner sleeve insert 43 is located within two adjacent first ceramic segments 311, and the two adjacent first ceramic segments 311 are connected to the inner sleeve insert 43 by bolts 42 to connect the two adjacent first ceramic segments 311 to each other.

[0048] Based on the above scheme, the inner sleeve plug 43 forms a rigid core inside the hollow first ceramic segment 311, and the bolts axially press the adjacent first ceramic segments 311 through the insertion holes, thereby increasing the bending strength of the node to the bending strength of the entire first ceramic rod 31, thus solving the problem of stress concentration in the segmented structure.

[0049] Furthermore, the structure for the ceramic rods used on the pitched roof also includes a fixing rod 32. The roof panel 2 includes reinforcing bars, fixing members 21 with spaced reinforcing bars, and concrete 22 poured around the reinforcing bars and fixing members 21. The fixing members 21 are fixedly connected to the concrete 22. The fixing rod 32 extends along the second direction and is welded to the fixing member 21. The first ceramic rod 31 is connected to the fixing rod 32 by bolts 42 to connect to the roof panel 2.

[0050] Based on the above solution, the design of the fixing rod 32 solves the problem that traditional wooden / steel keels for installing ceramic rods on pitched roofs cannot deform in tandem with the concrete 22. The fixing component 21 and the concrete 22 are cast as a single unit, forming a three-in-one anchoring system of "reinforcement bar-concrete 22-fixing rod 32".

[0051] Furthermore, the structure for the ceramic rods used on pitched roofs also includes a gasket 5, which is pressed against and fixed to the rod 32 and a connecting plate 41.

[0052] Based on the above solution, the gasket 5 deforms under pressure to fill the microscopic unevenness of the metal surface and eliminates the assembly gap; under alternating load, it continuously rebounds to maintain the axial clamping force of the bolt and block the loosening path.

[0053] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides a structure for ceramic rods on pitched roofs, where the roof panel 2 and the exterior wall 1 are connected at an obtuse angle to form a rigid base conforming to the slope; the ceramic rod assembly 3 is rigidly anchored to the connecting plate 41 by bolts, and the connecting plate 41 is directly fixed to the roof panel 2. This achieves reliable installation of the ceramic rods on pitched roofs, improves wind pressure resistance and structural integrity, and fills the technical gap in installation on inclined surfaces. The roof panel 2 serves as a continuous waterproof base layer, and its obtuse angle structure guides rainwater to flow down the slope; the first ceramic rod 31 and the fixing rod 32 are staggered with gaps to form an air circulation layer, and the staggered gaps form a passive ventilation cavity, reducing heat accumulation on the roof. This avoids the risk of leakage, while reducing building energy consumption through natural ventilation, taking into account both waterproofing and sustainable design requirements. The bolted connection of the first ceramic rod 31 and the fixing rod 32 to the connecting plate 41 allows for precise positioning and quick replacement, reducing high-altitude work time.

[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
