Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of skylight technology, specifically an electric skylight device for preventing leakage in metal roofs. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of steel structure buildings, metal roofs have been widely used in various large public buildings. As part of the metal roof enclosure system, roof skylights serve the functions of lighting, ventilation, and smoke extraction. For industrial plants with large spans and high spaces, partial skylights are usually installed on the roof, which can effectively reduce energy consumption and is superior to indoor fire smoke extraction.
[0003] However, for large-span factory buildings, which have large spaces and high heights, and a large number of skylights, it is difficult to open them manually by climbing up to do so. This makes it difficult to open and close the skylights effectively and meet the requirements for fire protection linkage and smoke exhaust ventilation.
[0004] Meanwhile, in recent years, the problem of water leakage around skylights has become increasingly common. This not only seriously affects the functionality of buildings but also poses a significant threat to structural stability. Leaking water around skylights can easily seep into the structural layers, causing substantial damage to the roof's insulation and moisture-proofing, and also increasing the roof's weight. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned prior art, this utility model proposes an electric skylight device for preventing leakage in metal roofs, which can achieve good lighting, smoke exhaust and ventilation and prevent leakage, and can be opened and closed automatically.
[0006] This utility model provides an electric skylight device for waterproofing metal roofs, including a skylight base, two skylight frames on the top of the skylight base, a drainage channel between the two skylight frames, a double-cavity light-transmitting panel on each of the two skylight frames, and a telescopic auxiliary arm of an electric telescopic rod at the bottom of each of the two double-cavity light-transmitting panels. The telescopic main arms of the two electric telescopic rods are mounted on the skylight base via movable hinges, and the bottoms of the two electric telescopic rods are connected to a ground control box via control lines.
[0007] Preferably, the lower ends of both sides of the dual-cavity skylight panel are connected to the aluminum alloy profile by self-tapping screws, and the upper ends of both sides of the skylight frame are provided with Ω-shaped rubber sealing strips. When the skylight is closed, the aluminum alloy profile and the Ω-shaped rubber sealing strips are in tight contact.
[0008] Preferably, a C-shaped base is provided between the skylight base and the metal roof, and L-shaped baffles are provided on both sides of the skylight base. A flashing is provided at the lower end of the L-shaped baffles and on the outside of the C-shaped base.
[0009] Preferably, the sunroof is equipped with an L-shaped end cap at the front end.
[0010] Preferably, the L-shaped plug plate is provided with a diamond-shaped water distribution plate.
[0011] Preferably, the drainage channel is configured as a U-shaped structure.
[0012] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: This invention provides an electric skylight device for waterproofing metal roofs. Through an electrically controlled telescopic rod, the skylight panels on both sides are quickly opened and rotated under the action of the movable hinge and the telescopic auxiliary arm, facilitating indoor ventilation and smoke extraction. Furthermore, the use of a double-cavity skylight panel ensures normal indoor lighting while reducing the weight of the skylight body and lowering energy consumption. In addition, the water-blocking structure of the skylight base and the skylight itself significantly reduces rainwater infiltration, achieving a very good waterproofing effect.

[0018] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0019] Example: Figures 1-4The electric skylight device for preventing water leakage in metal roofs shown includes a skylight base 1, two skylight frames 2 are provided on the top of the skylight base 1, and a U-shaped drainage channel 3 is provided between the two skylight frames 2. The drainage channel 3 divides the entire skylight into two symmetrically opening skylights. At the same time, the sunken drainage channel 3 can prevent rainwater from seeping into the connection between the window sash and the window frame.
[0020] Furthermore, both skylight frames 2 are equipped with double-cavity light-transmitting panels 4. The lower ends of both sides of the double-cavity light-transmitting panels 4 are connected to the aluminum alloy profiles 6 by self-tapping screws 5. The upper ends of both sides of the skylight frames 2 are equipped with Ω-shaped rubber sealing strips 7. When the skylight is closed, the aluminum alloy profiles 6 and the Ω-shaped rubber sealing strips 7 are tightly connected, thereby further reducing the risk of water leakage. In addition, the use of aluminum alloy profiles 6 to fix the double-cavity light-transmitting panels 4 results in a lightweight structure and good light transmission and heat preservation effects.
[0021] Furthermore, the bottom of each of the two double-cavity skylight panels 4 is hinged to the telescopic auxiliary arm of an electric telescopic rod 8. The telescopic main arms of both electric telescopic rods 8 are mounted on the skylight base 1 via movable hinges 17, and the bottom of both electric telescopic rods 8 are connected to the ground control box 10 via control lines 9. Users operate the system using the open / close button in the ground control box 10. When the switch is turned on, the telescopic main arm rotates and extends the telescopic auxiliary arm to push the skylight to the fully open state.
[0022] Furthermore, a C-shaped base 12 is provided between the skylight base 1 and the metal roof 11. L-shaped baffles 13 are provided on both sides of the skylight base 1. A flashing 14 is provided at the lower end of the L-shaped baffles 13 and outside the C-shaped base 12. An L-shaped end cap 15 is provided at the front end of the skylight. A diamond-shaped water distribution plate 16 is provided on the L-shaped end cap 15.
[0023] In this embodiment, the skylight frame 2 and the L-shaped baffles 13 extending from both sides are combined to form a waterproof cover for the skylight, used to disperse the water flow above the skylight and to cover the connection between the flashing 14 on both sides and the C-shaped base 12. The waterproof cover composed of the skylight frame 2 and the L-shaped baffles 13 on both sides of the skylight in the direction of water flow serves as the first layer of water-blocking structure, the flashing 14 connected to the C-shaped base 12 serves as the second layer of water-blocking structure, and the innermost part is the corrugated edge plate of the roof metal sheet serves as the third layer of water-blocking structure. In addition, the front end of the skylight uses an L-shaped end plate 15 and a diamond-shaped water-dividing plate 16 to disperse the water flow from the front roof to both sides, so as to ensure that the weak point at the front end of the skylight is protected from water infiltration; the rear end uses the drainage channel 3 in the middle of the skylight and the flashing 14 to guide the water flow on the skylight sash to the metal roof 11 for natural drainage.
[0024] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent solutions made using the contents of this utility model specification, whether directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are also within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
