Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of EPS line waterproofing technology, and in particular to an elastic waterproof covering component for the joints of EPS lines. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the building decoration industry, EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) moldings, due to their advantages of being lightweight, easy to process, having rich shapes, and low cost, are widely used in building exterior wall decoration projects, becoming an important material for enhancing the aesthetics and three-dimensionality of buildings. However, joints are unavoidable during the actual installation of EPS moldings. If these joints are not properly treated, they can easily become weak points for rainwater penetration. In long-term outdoor environments, rainwater can seep into the interior of the EPS moldings and the wall structure through these joints, not only causing deformation, cracking, and detachment of the EPS moldings themselves, affecting the decorative effect and service life, but also potentially leading to dampness and mold growth on the walls, and even damaging the main building structure, posing serious threats to the building's safety and durability.

[0003] Currently, the industry mostly uses sealant to fill the joints of EPS lines for waterproofing. However, during use, sealant is prone to aging, cracking, and peeling due to factors such as temperature changes, ultraviolet radiation, and rainwater erosion, leading to a gradual loss of waterproofing effect. This requires regular maintenance and replacement, increasing the later maintenance costs and workload. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides an elastic waterproof covering component for the joints of EPS lines.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] The elastic waterproof covering component for the joint of EPS lines includes: an elastic main covering, an auxiliary sealing component, and a fixing component; the elastic main covering is elongated and has a U-shaped cross-section, capable of covering the joint of the EPS lines; the auxiliary sealing component is a strip-shaped structure and is disposed at the connection points between the two ends of the elastic main covering and the EPS lines; the fixing component is used to fix the covering component to the EPS lines.

[0007] Preferably, the inner wall of the elastic main covering is provided with a plurality of protrusions to enhance the friction with the surface of the EPS lines.

[0008] Preferably, the protrusions are evenly distributed and have a semi-circular cross-section.

[0009] Preferably, the height of the protrusion is 0.5-1mm.

[0010] Preferably, the elastic main covering is made of EPDM rubber.

[0011] Preferably, the thickness of the elastic main covering is 2-5 mm.

[0012] Preferably, the auxiliary seal is made of water-swellable rubber material, with a width of 5-10 mm and a thickness of 1-3 mm.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. The component blocks rainwater at the source through the U-shaped structure of the elastic main cover, and the auxiliary seal expands when it comes into contact with water to provide a secondary seal. The two work together to form an all-round waterproof barrier that can resist rainwater penetration for a long time and ensure the dryness of the joints of EPS lines.

[0015] 2. The elastic main cover can be cut to fit seams of different lengths. The raised design enhances the integration with the lines. Materials such as EPDM rubber and stainless steel are weather-resistant and anti-aging, which can adapt to complex outdoor environments and extend the service life of EPS lines.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features.

Furthermore, the terms "installed," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly; for example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal connection of 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.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-3 The elastic waterproof covering component at the joint of the EPS line is composed of three parts: elastic main covering 1, auxiliary sealing 2 and fixing 3. It can effectively resist rainwater penetration and ensure the structural stability and durability of the EPS line after installation.

[0024] The elastic main covering 1 is long and can be cut to fit the actual length of the EPS line joint, flexibly adapting to construction scenarios of different sizes. Its cross-section is U-shaped, and this structural design can tightly wrap around the joint of the EPS line, completely covering the joint and blocking the path of rainwater from the source.

[0025] To further enhance the bonding strength between the elastic main covering 1 and the EPS line surface, several protrusions are provided on its inner sidewall. These protrusions are evenly distributed to ensure force balance and prevent loosening due to insufficient friction in certain areas. The cross-section of the protrusions is semi-circular. This shape design increases friction while reducing wear on the EPS line surface, thus protecting the line. After multiple tests, the height of the protrusions is found to be most suitable at 0.5-1mm. This ensures that the height is neither too high, making it difficult for the elastic main covering 1 to adhere to the line surface, nor too low, failing to achieve the desired friction enhancement.

[0026] The elastic main cover 1 is made of EPDM rubber, which has excellent weather resistance, ozone resistance, and aging resistance. It can maintain stable performance in various complex outdoor environments over a long period, effectively extending the service life of the covered components. Meanwhile, the thickness of the elastic main cover 1 is set at 2-5mm. This thickness range ensures sufficient strength and elasticity to accommodate the slight deformation of the EPS lines under temperature changes, without increasing installation difficulty and cost due to excessive thickness.

[0027] The auxiliary sealing element 2 is a strip-shaped structure, located at both ends of the elastic main covering 1 and the connection points with the EPS lines, serving as a secondary seal to further enhance the waterproof performance of the entire covering assembly. The auxiliary sealing element 2 is made of water-swellable rubber material, which expands upon contact with moisture, thus tightly filling the gap between the elastic main covering 1 and the EPS lines. Even if the elastic main covering 1 becomes slightly loose or ages, it can effectively prevent rainwater penetration. Its width is 5-10mm and its thickness is 1-3mm. This size design ensures a good seal while also fitting well with the elastic main covering 1 and the EPS lines, without affecting the overall aesthetics.

[0028] The fastener 3 is used to fix the covering component to the EPS line, ensuring that the elastic main covering 1 and the auxiliary sealing component 2 can always be kept in the correct position and perform their due waterproof function. The fastener 3 can be made of stainless steel to ensure that it has sufficient strength and corrosion resistance, and to avoid problems such as rust affecting the fixing effect. During installation, the fastener 3 can be set at intervals along the length of the elastic main covering 1. The specific interval distance can be adjusted according to the actual situation to ensure that the fixing is firm and reliable.

[0029] In summary, the elastic waterproof covering component at the joint of the EPS line, through the synergistic effect of its various parts, can provide comprehensive and long-lasting waterproof protection for the EPS line joint, greatly improving the safety and durability of the EPS line and making it suitable for the installation of EPS lines on the exterior walls of various buildings.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
