Abstract

Barrier to protect against floods, which is designed to prevent the access of water through holes in doors of houses, premises, garages and similar places, in case of heavy flooding, is characterized because it is constituted from a structure base that is arranged on the ground, determining a box on which it is hinged, in correspondence with one of its sides, a steel screen capable of occupying a folded position on the base structure and superposed thereto or a deployed position or verticality to be placed in front of the corresponding hole whose access is intended to close to avoid the passage of water; it being provided that said steel screen is operable in its folding and unfolding movements by means of hydraulic pistons and/or tires that in the folding position are hidden and protected inside the box that constitutes the base structure, under the screen itself of steel.

Description

Barrier for protection against floods

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a barrier for protection against floods, and more specifically to a Hermetic resistant barrier that prevents water access to garages, premises and homes.

The barrier is part of the technical sector of mechanical protections against flood risks in buildings, facing outside surface waters.

Background of the invention

On those occasions when the water of Rain is very abundant in short periods of time, in many places and areas floods occur that carry the water entry to homes, premises, garages, etc., entry that is Logically done through existing openings or accesses in these rooms, making it necessary to provide barriers that Try to prevent water access.

In that sense, there are two types of systems that try to prevent the entry of water through access to premises, homes, garages, etc., one of them consisting of the accumulation of passive elements that prevent the passage of water (ground bags) placed in the hole or access to the premises correspondent. Another system or type of trying to avoid the passage of water, is the placement of barriers type tables placed between guides, whose commissioning is slow and angry, and also not It is quite effective since there are always openings for the the water passes

Description of the invention

The recommended barrier has been conceived to solve the problem described above, based on a Simple solution but very effective.

More specifically, the barrier of the invention is constitutes from a structure as a built-in box in the ground, although it could also go over the ground surface, either permanently or removably, so that in any case that cash structure constitutes a base on which it goes articulated, in correspondence with one of the edges, a screen Steel capable of occupying a folded folding position on the base structure or box, and an unfolded position or of perpendicularity, to be placed in front of the access of the corresponding premises to be protected, thereby avoiding water flow in case of floods.

That steel plate will be operated in its folding and unfolding movements by means of pistons, preferably hydraulic, although they could be of any other nature, which in a folded position would be located in the interior of the base structure or box embedded in the floor or superimposed on it, that is, hidden only to show the steel screen surface, which when flush with the ground, it would go unnoticed, and in case of being the base structure superimposed on the ground, then it would be complemented by some ramps that would avoid staggering between the ground and the whole of the barrier.

The pistons as stated previously can be hydraulic and electrically operated to enter quickly in use by a single person when the conditions of flooding require it, with the particularity that the whole of the barrier will be complemented with an oil box and solenoid valves for actuation of the pistons, as well as a electrical panel for commissioning the assembly, with battery safety for operation in case of power failure electric.

It is also noteworthy the possibility of incorporate a water sensor for automatic start-up of the system, with manual disconnector for periods in which it is not provide floods, in order to avoid automatic deployments accidental water not corresponding to flooding.

The barrier thus constituted will be wide variable to adapt in each case to the height and width of the gap to close, so that when it comes to closing the gap of one door, two pistons will be sufficient to drive the steel screen constituting the barrier itself, while if the amplitude to be covered is greater, then logically the steel screen will be longer and more will be needed pistons for folding and unfolding the screen.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows a representation according to an overview of the barrier to protection against floods carried out according to the object of the invention, in deployment status of its corresponding screen.

Figure 2.- Shows a plan view in folded position of the screen corresponding to the barrier represented in the previous figure.

Figure 3.- Shows a view also in plant, in this case in the deployed position, of the screen corresponding to the barrier represented in the figures previous.

Figure 4.- Shows a sectional view. corresponding to the A-A cutting line of the Figure 2, showing the folded position of the screen, being able to see how the pistons are hidden in the structure or box that It is part of the barrier itself.

Figure 5.- Shows a sectional view. corresponding to the B-B cutting line also represented in figure 2.

Figure 6.- Shows a sectional view. corresponding to the C-C cutting line of the Figure 3, showing the deployed position of the screen.

Figure 7.- Finally shows a view in section like the one in figure 4, when it is superimposed on the ground, incorporating in that case the corresponding ramps for avoid staggering between the ground itself and the structure of the barrier.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As you can see in the referred figures, the barrier for mechanical protection of floods subject to invention, is constituted from a structure in the form of box (1) intended to be embedded in the ground, or fixed shape superimposed on it, as shown in figure 7, in whose case that structure (1) is complemented with ramps (2) to avoid staggering between the ground and the structure itself (1), this materialized preferably based on profiles of steel, and going inside articulated, according to reference (3), pistons (4) that at its other end, and according to the reference (3 '), articulate on the underside of a steel screen (5) that through one of its edges is joined, by hinged (6), to the structure or box (1), all of such that the screen (5) can tilt and occupy a position folded as shown in figures 4 and 5, position which is the of rest and non-use, or a position deployed as it is represented in figures 1 and 6, this position in which the screen (5) has been deployed by piston drive (4), being in a vertical position in front of the hole corresponding to access to the interior of a house, of a premises, of a garage, etc., so that in the corresponding perimeter a support meeting of the commented screen (5) to get a tightness and prevent between the water inside, in case of floods.

As stated previously, the structure base (1) and therefore the screen (5) constituting the barrier proper, they may have different measures to adapt to those of the holes to be protected, and have equally different finished according to the pavement on which it is placed or embedded the structure (1).

As for the actuator pistons (4) of the screen (5), they will have fixing means of safety to prevent accidental folding, in the position of deployed or opening.

Finally say that the whole barrier described will be complemented with an oil box and solenoid valves for actuation of the pistons (4), as well as a frame electrical for commissioning the assembly and a water sensor for automatic start-up, without the need for personal control, being able to complement with means that allow disconnect the system to prevent commissioning involuntary
