Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building drainage structure technology, and in particular to a cantilevered terrace drainage structure. Background Technology
[0002] In current residential design, terraces in fourth-generation homes have become an important component of improving residents' quality of life. With the acceleration of urbanization, the design of terrace facilities needs to give greater consideration to the effectiveness of drainage and landscape water replenishment systems. Due to the increased size of terraces and the diversification of their functions, traditional drainage and water replenishment facilities often prove inadequate, easily leading to problems such as water accumulation and water shortages for plants, affecting the user experience and the aesthetic appeal. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides an overhanging terrace drainage and storage structure. Through the design of drainage and water storage structures, it achieves the function of draining and storing rainwater from the terrace. The stored rainwater can provide additional irrigation water for the terrace vegetation. A building employs the above-mentioned overhanging terrace drainage and storage structure.
[0004] The first aspect of this application provides a cantilevered terrace drainage structure, including: A drainage trough, located on the terrace; A water storage tank is connected to the water trough, the bottom surface of the water storage tank is lower than the bottom surface of the water trough, and the water storage tank is also equipped with a reserved pipe hole, which is connected to the terrace ground area. The drain pipe has one end located in the water storage tank and has a normal water level inlet and an emergency outlet, and the other end extends out of the water storage tank and is connected to the rainwater pipe. The normal water level inlet is lower than the terrace ground, and the emergency outlet is higher than the normal water level inlet.
[0005] The beneficial effects of the above embodiments are as follows: rainwater is guided by the drainage trough to enter the storage tank, and the rainwater in the storage tank is easily extracted through the reserved perforated pipe to irrigate the vegetation on the terrace surface. The normal water level inlet and the emergency outlet are set to discharge the rainwater, so as to avoid the excessive rainwater in the storage tank from flooding the terrace area, thereby solving the problem of how to store and discharge rainwater.
[0006] Based on the above embodiments, the embodiments of this application can be further improved as follows: In one embodiment of this application: the drainage ditch is arranged around the terrace, and the end of the drainage ditch is connected to the water storage tank. The beneficial effect of this step is that the drainage ditch arranged around the terrace can maximize the collection of rainwater flowing from any location on the terrace surface, eliminate drainage blind spots, and significantly improve rainwater collection efficiency and comprehensiveness.
[0007] In one embodiment of this application, the water storage tank is located directly below the bay window. The beneficial effects of this step are: improved space utilization of the building, optimized placement of the water storage tank, and reduced / avoided impact of the water storage tank on the terrace environment.
[0008] In one embodiment of this application: the water storage tank has a sludge removal port, which is located at the connection between the water distribution trough and the water storage tank. The sludge removal port is used to filter impurities in rainwater. The beneficial effect of this step is that it filters impurities brought by rainwater, reducing the probability of impurities entering the water storage tank.
[0009] In one embodiment of this application, the inner surface of the water storage tank has a waterproof layer. The beneficial effect of this step is that it effectively prevents water leakage or seepage caused by long-term water storage and rainwater immersion.

[0014] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terminology used should be interpreted broadly. For example, a connection can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of different terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances, and the scope of the specific meaning should be limited to achieving the function of this application.
[0015] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the directional terms or positional relationships described are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or based on the orientation or positional relationships in actual use, and are only for the purpose of facilitating the description of the contents of this application and simplifying the description, and are 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.
[0016] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an externally projecting terrace storage and drainage structure includes: a drainage trough 1, a water storage tank 2, and a drainage pipe 3. The drainage trough 1 is located on the terrace 4, and the water storage tank 2 is connected to the drainage trough 1. The bottom surface of the water storage tank 2 is lower than the bottom surface of the drainage trough 1. The water storage tank 2 is also equipped with a reserved pipe hole 201, which is connected to the ground area of the terrace 4. One end of the drainage pipe 3 is located in the water storage tank 2 and has a normal water level inlet 301 and an emergency outlet 302. The other end extends out of the water storage tank 2 and is connected to a rainwater pipe 5. The normal water level inlet 301 is lower than the ground of the terrace 4, and the emergency outlet 302 is higher than the normal water level inlet 301.
[0017] Specifically, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the drainage trough 1 is arranged around the terrace 4, and the end of the drainage trough 1 is connected to the water storage tank 2. The drainage trough 1 is provided along the edge of the cantilevered terrace 4, and the bottom of the drainage trough 1 is lower than the ground level of the terrace 4. The drainage trough 1 eventually collects rainwater into the water storage tank 2. By arranging the drainage trough 1 around the terrace 4, the rainwater flowing from the surface of the terrace 4 can be collected to the maximum extent, eliminating drainage blind spots and significantly improving the efficiency and comprehensiveness of rainwater collection.
[0018] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the water storage tank 2 is located directly below the bay window 6. By placing the water storage tank 2 directly below the bay window 6, the space at the bottom of the building's cantilever structure, which is often overlooked, is cleverly utilized. This avoids occupying valuable terrace 4 usable area or indoor space, achieving both compactness and aesthetics in the structural layout. At the same time, the bay window 6, as an extension of the main building of the terrace 4, typically has good structural strength and spatial concealment underneath, providing a stable supporting foundation and natural protection for the water storage tank 2, making it less likely to be bumped or damaged, and reducing visual interference.
[0019] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner surface of the water storage tank 2 has a waterproof layer 202. The waterproof layer 202 on the inner surface of the water storage tank 2 effectively prevents leakage or seepage caused by long-term water storage and rainwater immersion.
[0020] Specifically, the water storage tank 2 is surrounded by an LB-2 asphalt polyurethane waterproof layer 202, its top is formed by a bay window 6 planar panel, its inner side is formed by an inverted beam structure connecting to the bedroom floor slab, its sides are integrated with the building shear walls, and its outer side is equipped with a water-retaining baffle plate. The top of the water-retaining baffle plate is flush with the reinforced concrete layer of the terrace 4 structure, and a sewage outlet 203 is set at the upper end. The sewage outlet 203 is located at the connection between the drainage trough 1 and the water storage tank 2, and is used to filter impurities in the rainwater. A geogrid is laid at the sewage outlet 203, and ceramic particles are laid on the geogrid. Rainwater flows into the water storage tank 2 after being filtered by the ceramic particles and the geogrid. The sewage outlet 203, located at the key inlet (the connection between the drainage trough 1 and the water storage tank 2) where rainwater enters the water storage tank 2, can effectively intercept larger impurities such as leaves, silt, and particles carried by the rainwater collected by the drainage trough 1. This serves as a preliminary filter, significantly reducing the risk of impurities entering the water storage tank 2 and the subsequent irrigation system (through the reserved pipe hole 201), thereby reducing the possibility of water storage tank 2 becoming silted up and drainage pipe 3 becoming clogged, reducing maintenance needs, ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the irrigation system, and also protecting irrigation terminals (such as sprinklers) from damage, thus improving the long-term operational stability and maintenance convenience of the entire system.
[0021] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the normal water level port 301 is higher than the bottom hole of the reserved pipe port 201, and the emergency port 302 is lower than the ground of the terrace 4. The normal water level port 301 maintains the normal liquid level in the water storage tank 2, and the emergency port 302 improves the drainage capacity of the drainage pipe 3, reducing the risk of rainwater overflowing into the terrace 4 through the reserved pipe port 201.
[0022] Specifically, regarding the utilization of rainwater in the water storage tank 2, the following is an implementation method: a water pump is installed in the terrace 4 or the water storage tank 2. The water pump installed in the terrace 4 is a silent water pump, and the water pump installed at the bottom of the water storage tank 2 is a submersible pump. The water pump outlet is connected to a pipe, and the pipe is connected to a sprinkler installed in the terrace 4. The water pump is connected to an external control switch via an electric wire. By starting the water pump, the function of spraying water on the vegetation of the terrace 4 is realized.
[0023] This cantilevered terrace storage and drainage structure integrates rainwater collection (drainage trough 1, storage tank 2), irrigation utilization (reserved pipe hole 201), and graded discharge (normal water level inlet 301, emergency outlet 302) functions within a compact space at the edge of the terrace 4. Rainwater is quickly collected through the drainage trough 1, and the elevation difference (the bottom of the storage tank 2 is lower than the bottom of the drainage trough 1) ensures that rainwater effectively flows into the storage tank 2. The reserved pipe hole 201 connects to the irrigation system, efficiently utilizing the stored rainwater to irrigate the vegetation on the terrace 4 and reducing water costs. The normal water level inlet 301, which is lower than the ground level of the terrace 4, automatically maintains the optimal water level for irrigation, while the emergency outlet 302, which is higher than the normal water level inlet 301, provides an overflow channel during heavy rain, effectively preventing rainwater from overflowing from the storage tank 2 and flooding the ground of the terrace 4, ensuring the safety and usability of the terrace 4, and achieving a balanced management of rainwater "storage, utilization, and discharge".

Those skilled in the art can, based on the guidance provided in this application, improve and implement this solution in combination with their own capabilities. Some typical known structures or methods should not be obstacles for those skilled in the art to implement this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this utility model. These should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model, and will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
