Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent relates to the field of shipbuilding and marine engineering technology, specifically to the field of deck surface drainage. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional deck drainage systems utilize the downward gravity of water to drain it through drainers and pipes installed on the deck. Drainage from open decks above the freeboard deck flows from top to bottom through drain pipes on each deck until it reaches the freeboard deck, where it is discharged overboard through bulwark doors or drain holes.

[0003] Drainage from enclosed deck compartments is collected by the drain pipes of each compartment deck and discharged overboard through a main pipe and wave deflector. To avoid excessively long drain pipes affecting drainage efficiency, a method of grouping and consolidating the port and starboard deck compartments can be adopted. Each drain pipe is equipped with a drain valve with a grid to prevent debris from clogging the pipes. Drain pipes should be kept as vertical as possible or at a certain angle, and plugs should be installed at bends for easy unblocking.

[0004] The deck drainage system mainly consists of deck drainers (outlets) and drain pipes. To prevent debris from entering the drain outlets and clogging the drain pipes, perforated covers are installed at the drain outlets.

[0005] Most drainers (downspouts) are directly connected to the end of the drain pipe. Downspouts usually have several drainage channels. Due to their simple structure, when there is a lot of garbage and debris on the deck, the downspouts are easily blocked, affecting drainage. Alternatively, garbage and debris can enter the downspout pipe through the drainage channels of the downspout, and long-term accumulation can easily lead to blockage of the downspout pipe, which is difficult to clean and affects the smoothness of drainage.

[0006] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The diagram illustrates an example of an existing sunken downpipe node. Based on this diagram, the existing sunken downpipe node involves setting a sunken downpipe 100 on the deck 200, with several drainage channels 110 above the downpipe 100, and a downpipe 120 connected to the end of the downpipe 100. This allows water accumulated on the deck 200 to flow through the drainage channels 110 into the downpipe 120 and be discharged overboard. However, this type of sunken downpipe node has a limited number of drainage channels 110 on the deck downpipe 100, making it prone to clogging by debris and contaminants, hindering cleaning and affecting drainage efficiency.

[0007] See Figure 3The diagram shows an example of an existing horizontal downpipe node. The overall structure of the existing horizontal downpipe node is similar to that of the sunken downpipe node, except for the structural form of the drain outlet 300. When applied, this type of horizontal downpipe node also faces the same problems as the sunken downpipe node. Utility Model Content

[0008] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides an anti-clogging deck drain outlet. By optimizing the structure of the drain outlet and drain pipe, it can effectively filter garbage and debris, improve the drainage flow of the drain outlet, and effectively prevent the drain pipe from becoming clogged.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an anti-clogging deck drain outlet, comprising a filter assembly, a buffer cylinder, a drain adapter, and a drain pipe.

[0010] The buffer cylinder has a corresponding inlet end and outlet end. The outlet end is connected to one end of the downpipe, and the other end of the downpipe is connected to the downpipe.

[0011] The filter assembly is housed in a buffer cylinder, forming a filter layer between the inlet and outlet of the buffer cylinder.

[0012] Furthermore, the inlet and outlet ends of the buffer cylinder are perpendicular to each other.

[0013] Furthermore, the filter assembly includes a filter cylinder and a filter cover. The filter cylinder has several filter holes on its wall to form a filter structure. The filter cover cooperates with the filter cylinder to cover the open end of the filter cylinder. The filter cover has several drainage grooves.

[0014] Furthermore, the anti-clogging deck drain includes a sediment collection tray, which is configured to cooperate with the filter assembly and accommodate the filter assembly, forming a sedimentation area around the filter assembly. The sediment collection tray is provided with a corresponding overflow port.

[0015] Furthermore, the sediment collection tray includes a cylindrical body, the inner cavity of which forms a sedimentation area and is used to support the filter cylinder in the filter assembly. The open end of the cylindrical body serves as an overflow port to cooperate with the filter assembly and the buffer cylinder.

[0016] Furthermore, the sediment collection pan also includes a handle assembly, which is connected to the cylinder body.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the anti-clogging deck drain outlet provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] (1) This anti-clogging deck drain can effectively filter garbage and debris, effectively improve the drainage of the drain and effectively prevent the drain pipe from clogging.

[0019] (2) This anti-clogging deck drain can also collect mud and sand, thereby effectively preventing mud and sand from clogging the deck drain.

[0020] (3) The size of the drain outlet and drain bend in this anti-clogging deck drain outlet can be optimized by expanding the drainage channel area according to the deck. Depending on the type and size of garbage and debris, filter screen assemblies with different filter hole diameters and / or sediment collection trays can be selectively placed to filter and collect garbage in a targeted manner, improve the filtration effect of the drain outlet, and increase drainage smoothness.

[0021] (4) All components in the drain outlet of this anti-clogging deck can be disassembled and cleaned, further reducing the blockage rate of the drain pipe and improving the smooth and reliable operation of the drainage system. Attached Figure Description

[0035] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.

[0036] To address the problems in existing technologies, this utility model provides an anti-clogging deck drain outlet. By optimizing the structure of the drain outlet and drain pipe, the drainage channel area of ​​the drain outlet can be effectively expanded, providing a filtering and collection function for garbage and debris, thereby improving the drainage smoothness of the drain outlet and effectively preventing the drain pipe from becoming clogged.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] See Figure 4 The diagram shown is an example of the structure of an anti-clogging deck drain outlet given in this example.

[0039] Based on the illustration, the anti-clogging deck drain outlet 400 given in this example includes four components: filter assembly 410, buffer cylinder 420, drain adapter 430, and drain pipe 440.

[0040] The buffer cylinder 420 has corresponding inlets and outlets. It is installed in conjunction with the deck 450 and is distributed below the deck 450. The inlets of the buffer cylinder 420 are distributed along the surface of the deck 450, thus forming the inlet of the entire downspout 400. The outlets of the buffer cylinder 420 are distributed on the side of the buffer cylinder and are connected to one end of the downspout adapter 430. One end of the downspout pipe 440 is connected to the other end of the downspout adapter 430, and the other end of the downspout pipe 440 passes through the side plate 460 of the ship. The filter assembly 410 is installed in the buffer cylinder 420 through the inlet of the buffer cylinder 420, forming a filter layer between the inlet and outlet of the buffer cylinder 420.

[0041] See further Figure 5 The diagram shown is an exploded example of an anti-clogging deck drain outlet provided in this example.

[0042] Based on the illustration, the buffer cylinder 420 in this example is a hollow cylindrical structure, including a cylinder 421. The cylinder 421 is hollow inside, sealed at the bottom, and open at the top to form an inlet 422. At the same time, an outlet end 423 is provided on the side wall of the cylinder 421. The outlet end 423 communicates with the inside of the cylinder 421 to form the outlet of the buffer cylinder 420.

[0043] Furthermore, to facilitate connection with the drain pipe 430, the outlet end 423 is preferably protruding on the side wall of the cylinder 421.

[0044] Meanwhile, the outlet end 423 protruding from the side wall of the cylinder 421 is preferably distributed perpendicularly to the cylinder 421, thereby forming a buffer cylinder 420 with an overall T-shaped structure, so that the inlet 422 and the outlet 423 are distributed perpendicularly to each other. This creates a buffer area 424 inside the buffer cylinder 420 between the inlet 422 and the outlet 423, preventing water and garbage from flowing directly out of the outlet 423 after entering the buffer cylinder 420 from the inlet 422. Instead, they first enter the buffer area 424 inside the buffer cylinder 420, which facilitates the collection of garbage and debris entering the buffer cylinder 420.

[0045] As a further explanation, the inlet and outlet diameters of the T-shaped buffer cylinder 420 can be enlarged and optimized according to the deck to increase the drainage area and improve drainage flow.

[0046] As further explanation, when this T-shaped buffer cylinder 420 is specifically deployed, it can be fixed as a whole at the bottom of the deck or installed at the bottom of the deck using a detachable structure, depending on the deck design. This is beneficial for the later maintenance of the drain outlet and improves the overall reliability of the drain outlet.

[0047] In this example, the filter assembly 410 has an overall structure that is compatible with the internal cavity of the buffer cylinder 420. It can be installed in the buffer cylinder 420 from the inlet 422 to filter the drainage or garbage and debris entering the buffer cylinder 420 from the inlet 422.

[0048] The filter assembly 410 specifically includes two parts: a filter cylinder 411 and a filter cover 412. The filter cylinder 411 has several filter holes 413 formed on its cylinder wall to form a filter structure. The open end of the filter cylinder 411 has a connecting support part 414 for overlapping and cooperating with the inlet end of the buffer cylinder 420, so that the filter assembly 410 can be stably inserted into the buffer cylinder 420 and is also easy to remove from the buffer cylinder 420.

[0049] Furthermore, the end face of the connecting support portion 414 on the filter cylinder 411 is recessed to form an installation groove that matches the filter cover 412, so that the filter cover 412 can be installed in the connecting support portion 414 and cover the open end of the filter cylinder 411.

[0050] The filter cover 412 has drainage grooves of a certain density, which can form a preliminary filtration of the deck surface drainage that enters the filter cylinder 411 through the filter cover 412, and can filter out some larger garbage and debris.

[0051] As a further explanation, the distribution structure of the drainage grooves on the filter cover 412 is not limited here and can be determined according to actual needs.

[0052] The structure and distribution of the filter holes 413 on the filter cartridge 411 are not limited and can be determined according to actual needs.

[0053] The dimensions of the filter cartridge 411 are not limited, but preferably, when placed in the buffer cartridge 420, there is a sufficient gap between the outer wall of the filter cartridge 411 and the inner wall of the buffer cartridge 420 to facilitate drainage.

[0054] In this example, the downpipe 430 serves as a connector to change the direction of the pipe. It connects the outlet end 423 of the buffer cylinder 420, which is located in different positions, with the downpipe 440. This facilitates the deployment of the downpipe 440 and does not affect the connection between the downpipe 440 and the buffer cylinder 420, i.e., it does not affect the final drainage effect.

[0055] The specific structural form of the downpipe 430 is not limited here and can be determined according to actual needs. Preferably, in this example, the downpipe 430 adopts a bent pipe structure, which can be a 90° or 45° bent pipe structure. The example in the figure uses a 90° bent pipe.

[0056] In specific deployment, one end of the downpipe 430 is connected to the outlet end 423 on the buffer cylinder 420, and the other end is connected to one end of the downpipe 440. The specific connection structure is not limited and can be determined according to actual needs.

[0057] In this example, the downpipe 440 is the main drainage component of the entire downpipe, used to divert and discharge the drainage entering the downpipe to a designated location.

[0058] The specific structural form and distribution of the downpipe 440 are not limited here and can be determined according to actual needs. As an example, the example in the figure adopts a straight pipe structure. The downpipe 440 of this straight pipe structure is vertically distributed, with its top end connected to the vertically downward end of the downpipe adapter 430, and the other end passing through the ship's side hull plate 460 through a bend joint.

[0059] When the anti-clogging deck drain outlet 400 formed by the above scheme is deployed, the T-shaped buffer cylinder 420 is deployed below the deck 450, and the filter assembly 410 is inserted into the buffer cylinder 420 through the inlet on the buffer cylinder 420 to form a filter layer between the inlet and outlet of the buffer cylinder 420. The horizontally distributed outlet of the buffer cylinder 420 is connected to the top of the vertically distributed drain pipe 440 through a 90° bend (i.e., drain adapter pipe 430), and the other end of the drain pipe 440 passes through the ship's side hull plate 460.

[0060] Based on the anti-clogging deck drain outlet 400 configured in this way, the drainage from the deck surface first flows into the filter cylinder 411 through the dense drainage channels on the filter cover 412 of the filter assembly 410, and is initially filtered by the dense drainage channels on the filter cover 412 to filter out larger debris; at the same time, the filter holes 413 on the filter cylinder 411 can further filter the debris in the incoming drainage, and the filtered drainage enters the interior of the buffer cylinder 420.

[0061] The T-shaped buffer cylinder 420 provides a buffer zone between the inlet and outlet, offering a time and space buffer for incoming drainage. This avoids direct impact of drainage on the downpipe and also enhances the garbage filtration effect.

[0062] Finally, once the amount of drainage entering the buffer cylinder 420 reaches a certain level, it will flow into the 90° bend through the horizontally distributed outlets on the side wall of the buffer cylinder 420, and then be guided by the 90° bend to flow into the downpipe 440, and then be guided by the downpipe 440 to be directly discharged outside the ship's side plate 460.

[0063] By using the filter assembly 410 in conjunction with the buffer cylinder 420, garbage and debris in the drainage are trapped in the filter assembly 410, preventing them from entering the drain pipe. The garbage and debris trapped in the filter assembly 410 can be removed from the buffer cylinder 420 for cleaning, thus avoiding affecting the smooth flow of drainage. This effectively solves the problem of garbage and debris easily clogging the drain outlet or even the drain pipe in the existing solution.

[0064] Example 2

[0065] This example further improves upon the scheme in Embodiment 1 by introducing a sediment collection tray 470, which enables the anti-clogging deck drain outlet 400 to effectively prevent sediment from entering while filtering garbage and debris.

[0066] See Figure 6The anti-clogging deck drain outlet 400 given in this example mainly consists of five components: filter assembly 410, buffer cylinder 420, drain adapter 430, drain pipe 440, and sediment collection tray 470.

[0067] The composition and arrangement of the filter assembly 410, buffer cylinder 420, drain adapter 430 and drain pipe 440 are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0068] The sediment collection tray 470 is configured to cooperate with the filter assembly 410, and can accommodate the filter assembly 410 to be placed therein, forming a sedimentation area around the filter assembly 410 for collecting sediment in the drainage that enters the filter assembly 410 through sedimentation.

[0069] The sediment collection pan 470 is equipped with an overflow port to discharge the drainage entering the sediment collection pan 470 through overflow, without affecting sediment sedimentation and collection. The specific setting of the overflow port of the sediment collection pan 470 is not limited here and can be determined according to actual needs.

[0070] After the sediment collection tray 470 is installed in conjunction with the filter assembly 410, it can be integrated into the buffer cylinder 420 along with the filter assembly 410. It is connected to the buffer cylinder 420 through the overflow port, so that the settled drainage can enter the buffer cylinder 420 through the overflow port and then be discharged from the outlet of the buffer cylinder 420.

[0071] As further explained, the sediment collection pan 470 mainly includes a cylindrical body 471, which is hollow inside, open at one end and closed at the other end.

[0072] The inner cavity of the cylinder 471 forms a sedimentation area and is used to carry the filter cylinder 411 in the filter assembly 410. The cylinder 471 uses its open end as an overflow port to cooperate with the filter assembly 410 and the buffer cylinder 420.

[0073] Based on this, the depth of the inner cavity of the cylinder 471 is set to be less than the length of the filter cylinder 411, so that when the filter assembly 410 is placed in the cylinder 471, there is a certain distance between the opening of the cylinder 471 and the connecting support part 414 at the top of the filter cylinder 411, which facilitates overflow drainage.

[0074] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the inner cavity of the cylinder 471 is adapted to the outer diameter of the filter cylinder 411 in the filter assembly 410, forming a sufficient gap between them to facilitate drainage; at the same time, the entire outer diameter of the cylinder 471 is adapted to the inner diameter of the cylinder 421 in the buffer cylinder 420, forming a sufficient gap between them to facilitate drainage.

[0075] Furthermore, this example also includes a handle assembly 472 on the cylinder 471 for operating the cylinder 471, that is, for controlling the entire sediment collection tray 470.

[0076] As a priority, the handle assembly 472 in this example mainly consists of a connecting rod and a handle mounted on the connecting rod; at the same time, the connecting rod is located inside the cylinder 471 and extends out of the cylinder 471, so that the handle on it is higher than the cylinder 471 for easy operation.

[0077] Additionally, the size of the connecting rod is adapted to the diameter of the filter holes on the filter cylinder 411 in the sediment collection tray 470, and it can be inserted into it. The handle and the connecting rod can be configured as a detachable connection structure, which facilitates the connection and cooperation with the filter assembly 410.

[0078] When the sediment collection tray 470 is assembled with the filter assembly 410, the handle of the sediment collection tray 470 is detached from the corresponding connecting rod. The filter assembly 410 is then directly placed into the sediment collection tray 470 through the filter cylinder 411 on it. The connecting rod in the sediment collection tray 470 passes through the appropriate filter hole at the bottom of the filter cylinder 411 and exits through the corresponding drainage groove on the filter cover 412 at the top of the filter cylinder 411. Then, the handle is connected to the connecting rod that passes through the filter assembly 410, thereby realizing the assembly and cooperation of the sediment collection tray 470 with the filter assembly 410, forming an integrated structure that can prevent sediment and filter.

[0079] Furthermore, after the sediment collection tray 470 and the filter assembly 410 are assembled and combined to form an integrated structure, the entire assembly can be directly inserted into the buffer cylinder 420 through the inlet on the buffer cylinder 420 to form a non-clogging deck drain outlet 400 that can prevent sediment from entering.

[0080] Based on this deployment of the anti-clogging deck drain outlet 400 that prevents sediment buildup, the deck drainage first flows into the filter cylinder 411 through the dense drainage channels on the filter cover 412 of the filter assembly 410. The dense drainage channels on the filter cover 412 perform preliminary filtration to remove larger debris. At the same time, the filter holes 413 on the filter cylinder 411 can further filter the debris in the incoming drainage. The filtered drainage then undergoes sedimentation in the sediment collection pan 470, where the sediment gradually settles. The drainage that has completed sedimentation and filtration then flows into the buffer cylinder 420 through the overflow port of the sediment collection pan 470 for buffered discharge.

[0081] During use, when the filter assembly 410 or the sediment collection tray 470 needs to be cleaned, simply lift the handle to remove the sediment collection tray 470 and the filter assembly 410 together from the buffer cylinder 420 for cleaning. After cleaning, put the whole assembly back into the buffer cylinder 420.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
