Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of roof load-bearing, specifically to a load-bearing support frame for roof greening. Background Technology
[0002] Roof greening, as an effective means to alleviate the urban heat island effect and improve the microclimate of buildings, has been widely used in urban construction in recent years. However, roof greening systems need to bear the overall load of the planting substrate, green plants, and supporting equipment such as sprinklers and temperature control, which places high demands on the load-bearing capacity of building roofs.
[0003] The existing roof greening support structure is mostly frame-type. Although some support frames can achieve basic load-bearing functions, they are prone to vertical compression and lateral expansion deformation under long-term load. The support structure of the frame cannot reasonably distribute the pressure, resulting in structural instability. This makes subsequent green plant maintenance, equipment repair and line inspection difficult, and also increases the danger for maintenance personnel to walk through the frame.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a load-bearing support frame for roof greening to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a load-bearing support frame for roof greening.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A load-bearing support frame for rooftop greening includes:
[0008] Multiple vertical supports;
[0009] The mounting port is opened on the vertical frame, and multiple V-shaped grooves are continuously opened on its top and bottom. A regular hexagonal area is formed between two corresponding V-shaped grooves, and the multiple regular hexagonal areas are connected.
[0010] The folded plate has two bends, and two folded plates are arranged in the area between the two corresponding V-shaped grooves. The combined structure of the two folded plates has a regular hexagonal outline, and the structures of the two adjacent folded plates are in contact with each other.
[0011] A circular ring is positioned at the center of the regular hexagonal region, and the outer surface of the circular ring is tangent to the six inner surfaces of the two folded plates.
[0012] When the top of the vertical frame is under load, the force on the ring is symmetrically distributed, and the load pressure on the top of the vertical frame is distributed equally from the six tangent points of the ring.
[0013] Preferably, the two ends of the two folded plates in the same regular hexagonal region are in contact, and the contact point is located at the bend of the V-shaped groove.
[0014] Preferably, holes are provided on both sides of the V-shaped groove, at the contact points of the ring and the folded plate, and a common insertion post is provided in multiple holes.
[0015] Preferably, a plurality of U-shaped plates are provided on opposite sides of two adjacent vertical frames, and a limiting post is provided in the two corresponding U-shaped plates, the length of which is equal to the distance between the two adjacent vertical frames.
[0016] Preferably, the plurality of vertical frames are arranged at equal intervals, and the U-shaped plate is located between the two regular hexagonal regions.
[0017] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0018] 1. The loads of the green plants, substrate and equipment of the roof greening project downwards to the top of the vertical frame. The spliced folded plate can bear the vertical load and form a rigid support for the installation opening, offsetting most of the deformation stress.
[0019] 2. The centrally tangent rings can simultaneously constrain the lateral offset and vertical bending deformation of the folded plate through a six-point symmetrical force-bearing structure. The six-point symmetrical force-bearing structure can achieve stress distribution and eliminate stress concentration points, thus greatly improving the structure's resistance to compression.
[0020] 3. The roughness of the contact surfaces between the various assembly structures has been refined, and after assembly and pressing, a high-strength friction self-locking structure is formed, which effectively prevents the parts from falling off laterally. At the same time, the hexagonal modular hollow structure combined with the central ring forms a regular and transparent passage space, allowing operators to directly carry out green plant maintenance, equipment repair, and line inspection through the hollow area without disassembling the frame structure.

[0026] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.
[0027] A load-bearing support frame for roof greening, referring to Figures 1-3 ,include:
[0028] Multiple vertical frames 1 are used to support the roof greening and its corresponding control system. Specifically, the vertical frames 1 are integrally formed from high-strength galvanized steel or aluminum alloy, and are evenly arranged vertically. The height of the vertical frames 1 can be customized according to the thickness of the roof greening soil, the type of green plants, and the installation height of the equipment. They can stably bear the overall load of the greening planting substrate, green plants, sprinklers, temperature control, and other supporting control systems. They are also suitable for various roof conditions, such as flat roofs and slightly sloped roofs, providing vertical foundation support for the overall greening structure. The top of the vertical frame 1 is equipped with a support plate for fixed connection to the roof greening planting box or equipment mounting base. The bottom of the vertical frame 1 is equipped with a base plate with anchor bolt holes for fixed connection to the building roof structure layer via anchor bolts.
[0029] Mounting port 11 is located on the vertical frame 1. Multiple V-shaped grooves are continuously formed at its top and bottom, creating a regular hexagonal area between corresponding upper and lower V-shaped grooves. These hexagonal areas are interconnected. The V-shaped grooves are symmetrical obtuse-angled structures with a uniform 120° included angle. The groove depth and width of all V-shaped grooves are standardized to ensure precise alignment of the upper and lower grooves.
[0030] Folded plate 2 has two bends, and two folded plates 2 are placed in the area between the two corresponding V-shaped grooves. The combined structure of the two folded plates 2 has a regular hexagonal outline, which can fit the regular hexagonal area. The structures of the two adjacent folded plates 2 are in contact with each other. Folded plate 2 is made of elastic high-strength metal sheet by stamping and bending. The two bending angles match the included angle of the V-shaped grooves. After bending, a single folded plate 2 forms a three-section support structure. After two folded plates 2 are symmetrically spliced, they completely fit the inner wall of the regular hexagonal area without installation gaps. The sides of the adjacent folded plates 2 are in close contact, which can realize the uniform transfer of load and avoid deformation and collapse caused by uneven local stress.
[0031] Ring 3 is positioned at the center of the regular hexagonal region, with its outer surface tangent to the six inner surfaces of the two folded plates 2. Ring 3 is a solid, high-strength alloy ring, with its outer diameter precisely matching the inner contour of the spliced two folded plates 2. After assembly, the three outer points of ring 3 are rigidly tangentially in contact with the inner surfaces of the folded plates 2, without any looseness or gaps. This allows for all-around constraint and positioning of the spliced folded plate 2 structure from the inside, forming an internally supported and stable support structure.
[0032] When the top of the vertical frame 1 is under load, the vertical frame 1 will be compressed, the mounting opening 11 will tend to deform, the folding plate 2 can provide support and will also tend to deform, the ring 3 can limit the deformation of the folding plate 2, the ring 3 is used to limit the lateral and vertical deformation, the ring 3 has six stress points, and the stress direction of the ring 3 is symmetrically distributed, and the load pressure on the top of the vertical frame 1 is distributed equally from the six tangent points of the ring 3, which can greatly ensure the stability of the ring 3. During the compression process, there is a large friction between the mounting opening 11, the folding plate 2 and the ring 3, and the folding plate 2 and the ring 3 are not easy to separate along the direction perpendicular to the vertical frame 1. The ring 3 can form a stable passage area. The whole installation is convenient, safe and does not affect the subsequent maintenance of the green structure and system.
[0033] In practice, the loads of the rooftop greenery, substrate, and equipment act downwards on the top of the vertical frame 1, causing the vertical frame 1 to deform vertically and laterally. The V-shaped groove of the installation opening 11 is easily pulled outwards by the compressive force. At this time, the spliced folded plate 2 can bear the vertical load and form a rigid support for the installation opening 11, offsetting most of the deformation stress. The folded plate 2 is prone to bidirectional deformation of inward contraction and outward expansion under the load. The centrally tangent circular ring 3 can simultaneously constrain the lateral deformation of the folded plate 2 through the six-point symmetrical force-bearing structure. The six-point symmetrical stress structure, which incorporates offset and vertical bending deformation, achieves even stress distribution and eliminates stress concentration points, significantly improving the structure's resistance to compression. The roughness of the contact surfaces between the various assembly structures has been refined, forming a high-strength friction self-locking structure after assembly and compression, effectively preventing components from falling off laterally. At the same time, the hexagonal modular hollow structure, combined with the central ring 3, forms a regular and transparent passage space, allowing operators to directly carry out greenery maintenance, equipment repair, and wiring troubleshooting through the hollow area without disassembling the frame structure.
[0034] The two folded plates 2 within the same regular hexagonal region are positioned at contact points, with the contact points located at the bends of the V-shaped grooves. This enhances the stability of the folded plate 2 support. The precise contact of the folded plate 2 ends with the stress-concentrated bends of the V-shaped grooves allows the load borne by the folded plate 2 to be directly transferred to the solid structure of the vertical frame 1. This prevents the load from acting on the suspended portion of the groove, which could lead to tearing or deformation of the groove. Simultaneously, the contact limiting at both ends restricts the displacement of individual folded plates 2, allowing the two folded plates 2 to form an integrated load-bearing structure, further strengthening the overall support stability.
[0035] Holes are provided on both sides of the V-groove and at the contact points of the ring 3 and the folding plate 2. Insert pins are installed in multiple holes. Specifically, internal threads can be provided in the holes on both sides of the V-groove and on the insert pins, allowing for a threaded connection that further improves stability. It should be noted that all openings are coaxially aligned with uniform diameter and shape. The insert pins are high-strength threaded pins. During assembly, the insert pins sequentially pass through the double-sided openings of the V-groove, the limiting hole of the folding plate 2, and the positioning hole of the ring 3. Through internal and external thread locking, the vertical frame 1, the folding plate 2, and the ring 3 are rigidly connected as a whole, eliminating assembly gaps between components to a certain extent and reducing the likelihood of loosening, abnormal noise, or misalignment after long-term heavy-duty use. The threaded connection structure facilitates disassembly and assembly, allowing for easy replacement and maintenance of individual components later.
[0036] Multiple U-shaped plates 4 are provided on opposite sides of two adjacent vertical frames 1, and limit posts 5 are provided in the corresponding two U-shaped plates 4. The length of the limit posts 5 is equal to the distance between the two adjacent vertical frames 1. The U-shaped plates 4 are welded or bolted to the vertical frames 1 as a whole, and are symmetrically distributed on the corresponding sides of adjacent vertical frames 1. The two ends of the limit posts 5 are respectively inserted into the slots of the U-shaped plates 4 on both sides, and can be fixedly connected by connectors, such as by bolts. This can achieve precise positioning of the distance between adjacent vertical frames 1, which can effectively limit the lateral displacement and tilting of the vertical frames 1 caused by the load, ensure that the multiple vertical frames 1 are arranged in a regular manner and with uniform spacing, and make the overall frame evenly stressed and orderly arranged.
[0037] Multiple vertical frames 1 are arranged at equal intervals, and the U-shaped panels 4 are located between two regular hexagonal areas. The equal-interval arrangement of the vertical frames 1 can ensure the uniform distribution of the roof greening load and avoid excessive local loads that could damage the roof structure. The U-shaped panels 4 are set away from the hexagonal load-bearing areas, so they will not interfere with the force transmission and deformation buffer of the core load-bearing structure, nor will they affect the normal operation of the modular support structure. At the same time, they can maximize the use of the empty space in the frame to complete the limiting reinforcement, resulting in a reasonable and compact structural layout.
[0038] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
