Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of skylights, and in particular to a support structure for a skylight. Background Technology

[0002] A glass skylight is a building roof structure consisting of glass panels and a supporting system. It is primarily used to introduce natural light and improve indoor lighting conditions. Glass skylights are widely used in various types of buildings, including residential buildings, industrial plants, and shared spaces in commercial and public buildings. They not only meet lighting needs but also enhance the building's artistry and aesthetics.

[0003] A glass skylight typically consists of a supporting keel, a supporting frame, and skylight glass. During the construction of the skylight, when the supporting frame on the skylight glass is against the supporting keel, the adjacent supporting frames are against the supporting keel and then fixed to the supporting keel. Afterward, waterproof sealant is applied between the adjacent supporting frames to seal the gaps between them.

[0004] However, with prolonged use, the waterproof sealant may crack due to exposure to wind and sun. When it rains, rainwater can seep between adjacent support frames and fall directly under the skylight, causing leaks. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the waterproof adhesive may crack due to wind and sun exposure, and when it rains, rainwater will pass between adjacent support frames and fall directly under the skylight, causing water leakage. This application provides a support structure for the skylight.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application specifically adopts the following technical solution: A support structure for a skylight includes a support keel, on which two symmetrical support frames are provided. Skylight glass is fixed on each of the two support frames, and a waterproofing mechanism is provided between the two support frames.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a waterproof mechanism is installed on the supporting keel, and then the light-transmitting glass on the supporting frame is placed on the supporting keel. The supporting frame abuts against the waterproof mechanism, thereby reducing the amount of rainwater passing between adjacent supporting frames and allowing the rainwater that passes through to be drained.

[0008] Furthermore, the drainage mechanism includes an abutment plate disposed between two support frames. The abutment plate is T-shaped, and the two support frames abut against the abutment plate. A drainage keel is fixed on the support keel, and a connecting component is disposed between the drainage keel and the abutment plate. Sealing strips are fixed between the two sides of the abutment plate and the support frames.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the drainage keel and the contact plate are clamped to the support frame under the action of the connecting components. Then, a sealing strip is applied between the contact plate and the support frame, which can improve the waterproofing of the support frame of the adjacent skylight. At the same time, it can guide rainwater in the event of leakage, reducing the possibility of rainwater passing through the skylight.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes several threaded sleeves fixed to the drainage keel, and threaded rods are threadedly connected to the threaded sleeves. The threaded rods pass through the contact plate and are rotatably connected to the contact plate.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded sleeve on the drainage keel is threadedly connected to the threaded rod on the contact plate, thereby making it easy for the drainage keel and the contact plate to clamp the support frame on the skylight.

[0012] Furthermore, two symmetrical rubber strips are fixed on the contact plate, and the rubber strips abut against the support frame.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber strip on the contact plate is made to contact the support frame, thereby reducing the possibility of rainwater passing through the gap between the support frame and the contact plate.

[0014] Furthermore, two symmetrical rubber strips are fixed on the drainage keel, and the rubber strips abut against the support frame.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber strip on the drainage keel is made to abut against the support frame, thereby reducing the amount of rainwater passing between the support frame and the drainage keel.

[0016] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate is fixed in the supporting keel, and the reinforcing plate is located inside the supporting keel.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the reinforcing plate supports the supporting keel, thereby strengthening the support strength and reducing the possibility of deformation of the supporting keel during long-term use.

[0018] Furthermore, several limiting blocks are fixed on both of the support frames, and the limiting blocks correspond to the drainage keel.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting block on the support frame is fastened into the groove of the drainage keel, which makes it easy to limit the position of the support frame and further improves the stability of the support frame against the drainage keel.

[0020] Furthermore, a guide block is fixed on the limiting block, and the inclined surface of the guide block abuts against the edge of the drainage keel.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide block on the limiting block abuts against the edge of the drainage keel groove, thereby facilitating the guide block and the limiting block to enter the groove of the drainage keel under the guidance of the guide block.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects; 1. In this application, during the installation of the skylight, a drainage keel is first fixed to the supporting keel, and then two rubber strips are fixed to the drainage keel. Next, the threaded rod on the contact plate abuts against the threaded sleeve on the drainage keel, connecting the threaded rod to the threaded sleeve. Then, the supporting frame of the skylight abuts against the rubber strips on the drainage keel. The threaded rod is then rotated, moving on the threaded sleeve. The threaded rod drives the contact plate, moving it towards the drainage keel, causing the rubber strips on the contact plate to abut against the supporting frame. Both rubber strips abut against the supporting frame, blocking and waterproofing the gaps between adjacent supporting frames. Waterproof sealant is applied to the gap between the board and the support frame to form a sealing strip, thus securing the support frame. During rain, the rubber strip and the sealing strip block rainwater. However, if cracks appear in the rubber strip and the sealing strip after prolonged use, rainwater will flow along the contact plate through the adjacent support frame and then into the drainage joists. The drainage joists then guide the rainwater towards the edge of the skylight. The rubber strip on the drainage joists further reduces the amount of rainwater passing between the support frame and the drainage joists, thus improving the waterproofing of the support frames of adjacent skylights and guiding rainwater in case of leaks, reducing the possibility of rainwater passing through the skylight.

[0023] 2. In this application, when the support frame is pressed against the drainage keel, the guide block on the limiting block is pressed against the edge of the groove of the drainage keel. Then, under the guidance of the guide block, the guide block and the limiting block enter the groove of the drainage keel. The limiting block is used to temporarily limit the support frame, thereby achieving the purpose of further improving the stability of the support frame pressing against the drainage keel.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 —5 provides further details regarding this application.

[0027] This application discloses a support structure for a skylight.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A supporting structure for a skylight includes a supporting keel 3, on which two symmetrical supporting frames 2 are mounted. Skylight glass 1 is fixed to each of the two supporting frames 2, and a drainage mechanism 4 is installed between the two supporting frames 2. During skylight construction, after the supporting keel 3 is installed, the drainage mechanism 4 is installed on the supporting keel 3. Then, the skylight glass 1 on the supporting frames 2 is placed on the supporting keel 3, with the supporting frames 2 abutting against the drainage mechanism 4, thus completing the skylight construction. When it rains, the drainage mechanism 4 waterproofs the gap between adjacent supporting frames 2. When rainwater seeps through the drainage mechanism 4, it collects the rainwater, which then flows away. By installing the drainage mechanism 4 on the supporting keel 3 and ensuring that the supporting frames 2 on the skylight glass 1 abut against the drainage mechanism 4 during installation, the amount of rainwater passing between adjacent supporting frames 2 is reduced, and any rainwater that does pass through is drained away.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The drainage mechanism 4 includes an abutment plate 41 disposed between two support frames 2. The abutment plate 41 is T-shaped. The two support frames 2 abut against the abutment plate 41. A drainage keel 42 is fixed on the support keel 3. A connecting component 44 is disposed between the drainage keel 42 and the abutment plate 41. Sealing strips 43 are fixed between the two sides of the abutment plate 41 and the support frame 2.

[0030] In addition, the connecting assembly 44 includes several threaded sleeves 442 fixed on the drainage keel 42. Threaded rods 441 are threadedly connected to the threaded sleeves 442. The threaded rods 441 pass through the contact plate 41 and are rotatably connected to the contact plate 41.

[0031] Furthermore, two symmetrical rubber strips 45 are fixed on the contact plate 41, and the rubber strips 45 abut against the support frame 2.

[0032] Furthermore, two symmetrical rubber strips 46 are fixed on the drainage keel 42, and the rubber strips 46 abut against the support frame 2.

[0033] When installing the skylight 1, first fix the drainage keel 42 to the supporting keel 3, then fix two rubber strips 46 to the drainage keel 42. Next, the threaded rod 441 on the contact plate 41 abuts against the threaded sleeve 442 on the drainage keel 42, connecting the threaded rod 441 to the threaded sleeve 442. Then, the supporting frame 2 on the skylight 1 abuts against the rubber strips 46 on the drainage keel 42. Then, rotate the threaded rod 441, moving it on the threaded sleeve 442. The threaded rod 441 drives the contact plate 41, moving it towards the drainage keel 42, causing the rubber strip 45 on the contact plate 41 to abut against the supporting frame 2. Rubber strips 45 and 46 then abut against the supporting frame 2, blocking the gap between adjacent supporting frames 2. Finally, apply waterproof sealant to the gap between the contact plate 41 and the supporting frame 2. The sealing strip 43 clamps and fixes the support frame 2. When it rains, the rubber strip 45 and the sealing strip 43 block rainwater. When the rubber strip 45 and the sealing strip 43 crack and leak after long-term use, the rainwater passes through the adjacent support frame 2 along the contact plate 41 and then enters the drainage keel 42. The drainage keel 42 diverts the rainwater and directs it to the edge of the skylight. The rubber strip 46 on the drainage keel 42 reduces the amount of rainwater passing through the support frame 2 and the drainage keel 42. By having the rubber strip 45 on the contact plate 41 and the rubber strip 46 on the drainage keel 42 abut against the support frame 2, the contact plate 41 and the drainage keel 42 clamp the support frame 2, thereby improving the waterproofing of the support frame 2 of the adjacent skylight 1. At the same time, it can guide the rainwater when leakage occurs, reducing the possibility of rainwater passing through the skylight.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 A reinforcing plate 5 is fixed inside the supporting keel 3. The reinforcing plate 5 is located inside the supporting keel 3. By adding the reinforcing plate 5 inside the supporting keel 3, the supporting keel 3 is supported by the reinforcing plate 5, thereby increasing the support strength. By fixing the reinforcing plate 5 inside the supporting keel 3, the supporting keel 3 can be reduced from deformation during long-term use.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 Several limiting blocks 6 are fixed on both support frames 2, and the limiting blocks 6 correspond to the drainage keel 42.

[0036] In addition, a guide block 7 is fixed on the limiting block 6, and the inclined surface of the guide block 7 abuts against the edge of the drainage keel 42.

[0037] When the support frame 2 is pressed against the drainage keel 42, the guide wedge 7 on the limiting block 6 is pressed against the edge of the groove of the drainage keel 42. Then, guided by the guide wedge 7, the guide wedge 7 and the limiting block 6 are inserted into the groove of the drainage keel 42. The limiting block 6 is used to temporarily limit the support frame 2. By allowing the limiting block 6 and the guide wedge 7 fixed on the support frame 2 to enter the groove of the drainage keel 42, the stability of the support frame 2 pressing against the drainage keel 42 can be further improved.

[0038] Working principle: During the construction of the skylight, after the supporting keel 3 is installed, the drainage keel 42 is fixed to the supporting keel 3. Two rubber strips 46 are then fixed to the drainage keel 42. The threaded rod 441 on the contact plate 41 abuts against the threaded sleeve 442 on the drainage keel 42, connecting the threaded rod 441 to the threaded sleeve 442. The supporting frame 2 on the skylight 1 then abuts against the rubber strips 46 on the drainage keel 42. Under the action of the limiting block 6, the supporting frame 2 is secured to the drainage keel 42. The threaded rod 441 is then rotated, moving on the threaded sleeve 442. The threaded rod 441 drives the contact plate 41, causing it to move towards the drainage keel 42. Rubber strip 45 on the contact plate 41 abuts against the support frame 2, and rubber strip 45 and rubber strip 46 abut against the support frame 2, blocking and waterproofing the gap between adjacent support frames 2. Then, waterproof glue is applied to the gap between the contact plate 41 and the support frame 2 to form a sealing strip 43, thus clamping and fixing the support frame 2. When it rains, rubber strip 45 and sealing strip 43 block rainwater. When the rubber strip 45 and sealing strip 43 crack and leak after long-term use, the rainwater flows through the contact plate 41 and the adjacent support frame 2, and then enters the drainage keel 42. The drainage keel 42 diverts the rainwater, allowing it to flow towards the edge of the skylight.
