RU50566U1 - MECHANICAL SYSTEM OF THE GUTTER TRANSFORMER - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to the construction, in particular, to drainage structures for roofs of buildings, and more specifically, can be used as a device to prevent destruction and clogging of the drainage system. The mechanical system of the gutter-transformer consists of a lightweight metal structure - a hinged block and a group of sheets of waterproof flexible materials. The lightweight structure is a four-link articulated unit, mounted vertically to the wall of the building so that one of the rods (2-a) (one of the groups of rods) that form it and make reciprocating movements, in one of the fixed states (A) reaches the level of the edge of the roof, and in the other (B) - it falls below this level to a depth determined by the structural calculation. This rod 2-a (a group of rods) carries on the upper end a bar 6 located perpendicular to its axis with fastening elements 7 of one of the edges of the flexible sheets. To fix the opposite edges of the flexible sheets 1, a fixed bar 8 with fastening elements 7, parallel to the bar on the bar, is attached to the wall of the building. Moreover, when the bar on the rod 6 is at the level of the edge of the roof, the flexible sheet 1, fixed between the two bars sags, forming a water-bearing surface. When the strap moves on the bar 6 down, the flexible sheet 1 is straightened, since its opposite edge remains at the same fixed level. The proposed design allows you to remotely manipulate the state of the water-bearing surface of the gutter organized drainage, to carry out preventive measures without the involvement of specialists.

Description

The utility model relates to construction, in particular to the design of gutters for roofs of buildings.

There are various designs of wall and hanging gutters for roofs (Zavrazhin NN, Roofing. - M.: Stroyizdat, 1984, p.204-206). These gutters are installed on the roofs of buildings operating in various climatic conditions.

The disadvantage of these structures is that in the event of clogging with foreign inclusions, such as foliage, branches and conifer needles, the drainage system is blocked. This can create stagnation of water in the gutter, which provides the breeding ground for insects. And due to mechanical damage caused by excessive snow load, the gutter can collapse.

The technical problems to which the claimed design is aimed are ensuring the smooth operation of the drainage system, preventing the destruction of the gutters under the weight of ice and snow, as well as simplifying the procedures associated with operation by periodically changing the profile of the water-bearing surface of the gutter.

The tasks are solved in that the gutter links are made of sheets 1 of waterproof, flexible materials (Figure 1), which are fastened with eyelets of the edges 10 to the system elements and sagging under their own weight create a water-bearing surface. This is one of the states (A) of the system. Another condition (B) of the mechanical system, including lightweight metal

the design - the hinge block and a group of sheets of waterproof flexible materials, is one in which the surface of the sheets straightens under the action of tensile forces from the side of the structural elements.

The required angle of inclination of the plane of the deployed flexible sheets is achieved by varying the dimensional parameters of the structural elements.

The lightweight structure is a four-link articulated unit, mounted vertically to the wall of the building so that one of the rods (2-a) (one of the groups of rods) that form it and make reciprocating movements, in one of the fixed states (A) reaches the level of the edge of the roof, and in the other (B) - it falls below this level to a depth determined by the structural calculation. This rod 2-a (a group of rods) carries on the upper end a bar 6 located perpendicular to its axis with fastening elements 7 of one of the edges of the flexible sheets. To fix the opposite edges of the flexible sheets 1, a fixed bar 8 with fastening elements 7, parallel to the bar on the bar, is attached to the wall of the building. Moreover, when the bar on the rod 6 is at the level of the edge of the roof, the flexible sheet 1, fixed between the two bars sags, forming a water-bearing surface. When the bar moves on the bar 6 down, the flexible sheet 1 is straightened, since its opposite edge remains at the same fixed level.

The hinge unit contains vertical rods 2 that make reciprocating movements, which together with the trims 3 form a four-link hinge. The hinge block is attached to the wall of the building using brackets 9 at the points of the axis of rotation 4 located at the centers of the strips 3. At the lower ends of the rods 2, the handles are mounted on the hinge axis 5. The hinge block is moved from position A to position B (Figure 2) using muscle strength applied to the arms 5.

The simplification of the drainage cleaning procedure is that it

can be made from the ground by bringing the mechanical system to the state of an expanded gutter and by means of scrapers, spatulas and hoses on telescopic handles.

The technical advantages of the proposed device are: remote manipulation of the state of the water-bearing surface of the gutter organized drainage system, the possibility of preventive measures without the involvement of specialists, as well as reducing the cost of operating the drainage system.
