The present application relates to the technical field of water retaining equipment, and in particular to an automatic water retaining device.
In recent years, due to short-term heavy rains, the phenomenon of urban waterlogging has occurred from time to time. Especially in underground garages, a large number of vehicles have been flooded due to the inability to drain water in time. Similarly, huge property losses have been caused. The reason is that on one hand, the torrential rains in these years have become more and more fierce, and the estimation of the amount of water in the drainage design is insufficient; and on the other hand, there are technical difficulties, and it is difficult to take precautionary measures, for example, when sandbags are used previously to block the water flow and prevent it from flowing into the garage from the garage exit, the sandbags are difficult to transport.
Therefore, there is a need for a water retaining device that is convenient to mount and construct and easy to transport before mounting.
The embodiments of the present application disclose an automatic water retaining device to reduce the mounting and transportation costs while realizing a water retaining function.
Provided is an automatic water retaining device for blocking the passage of water on the ground between two side walls, comprising two or more automatic water retaining units disposed in parallel, the automatic water retaining unit comprises a panel and a base, wherein the base is provided with a water storage cavity, the panel is rotatably disposed on the base, the water storage cavity is opened and closed through the rotation of the panel, a surface of the panel for covering the base is provided with a floating plate, one end of the base different from the end of the base connected with the panel is provided with a first water inlet communicated with the water storage cavity, and when water enters the water storage cavity from the first water inlet and contacts the floating plate, buoyancy is generated to the floating plate and the floating plate drives the panel to rotate and open under the action of buoyancy, thereby implementing a water retaining function.
In the water retaining device provided by the present application, water enters the water storage cavity from the first water inlet, and when the amount of water is large, the water contacts the floating plate to generate buoyancy to the floating plate and push the panel to rotate, thereby implementing a water retaining function. Each water retaining unit has smaller structural size, thereby facilitating transportation and saving the transportation cost. The proper number of water retaining units can be selected according to the size and length of a construction site, thereby saving the processing and construction cycle of the automatic water retaining device. When the water retaining unit is used for a long time, if damage of the water retaining unit is detected, the damaged water retaining unit can be directly replaced, thereby saving the maintenance cost and maintenance cycle in the later period. In the present application, the two adjacent bases are detachably connected, so the whole water retaining device base is not of a rigid structure, and is applicable to mounting on the uneven ground.
In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The embodiment of the present application provides an automatic water retaining device. The automatic water retaining device is composed of one or a plurality of automatic water retaining units disposed in parallel, the plurality of water retaining units can be respectively transported to a construction site and spliced on the construction site, thereby implementing the mounting of the whole water retaining device.

As shown in
The first water inlet 10 may be disposed on the side surface of the base 5, as shown in
As shown in
In some embodiments of the present application, the base 5 is provided with through holes parallel to a rotating shaft of the panel 11, and the two adjacent bases 5 are detachably connected together through bolts disposed in the through holes. As shown in
In order to ensure that the device has a certain damping effect on vehicles passing thereover when the device is not in use (shut down), the two sides of the water retaining unit can be respectively provided with a buffer slope 17 detachably mounted on the ground through bolts. In some embodiments, the inclination of the buffer slope 17 can be 5 degrees to 45 degrees. At this time, the buffer slope 17 adjacent to the side of the first water inlet 10 is provided with a second water inlet 30, and the first water inlet 10 is communicated with the second water inlet 30, as shown in
It should be noted that, in some embodiments of the present application, when the height of the automatic water retaining device can not damage the chassis and tires of an automobile, the buffer slopes 17 may not be disposed on the two sides of the base 5, for example, when the height of the automatic water retaining device in the present application is less than four to five centimeters, the buffer slopes 17 may not be disposed. As shown in
Alternatively, in some embodiments of the present application, the buffer slopes 17 and the base 5 may also be set as an integral mechanism, and are not provided with the second water inlet, but only provided with the first water inlet, and the first water inlet pass through the buffer slope on the side where the first water inlet is located.
In some embodiments, one end of the base 5 rotatably connected with the panel 11 may be further provided with a drainage device, as shown in
The drainage device comprises a first water outlet 20 disposed on the base 5. In some embodiments, the drainage device may further comprise a drainage switch 21 disposed at the first water outlet 20 and linked with the panel 11; when the panel 11 covers the base 5, the drainage switch 21 is opened; and when the panel 11 rotates to open beyond a set angle, the drainage switch 21 is closed. In some embodiments, the set angle can be 3 degrees to 15 degrees. At this time, if the two sides of the base 5 are provided with the buffer slopes 17, the buffer slope 17 adjacent to the side of the first water outlet 20 is provided with a second water outlet 31, and the second water outlet 31 is communicated with the first water outlet 20. It should be noted that when the buffer slopes 17 and the base 5 are an integral mechanism, there is no second water outlet, but only the first water outlet, and the first water outlet passes through the buffer slope on the side where it is located.
The drainage switch device 21 comprises a baffle plate 211, a homocentric-square-shaped fixing plate 212, a movable door 213 and a switch spring 214, the fixing plate 212 is fixed to a position of the base 5 adjacent to the first water outlet 20, and a middle opening of the fixing plate 212 is communicated with the first water outlet 20; the movable door 213 is connected to the fixing plate 212 through a guide rod 215 over which the switch spring 214 is sleeved, one end of the switch spring 214 is fixed to the fixing plate 212, the movable door 213 and the switch spring 214 are sequentially sleeved over the guide rod 215 from outside to inside, and one end of the guide rod 215 away from the end fixed to the fixing plate 212 is fixed to one end of the switch spring 214 away from the movable door 213 through a pin (now shown); one side of the movable door 213 opposite to the switch spring is fixedly provided with an ejector rod 216, the ejector rod 216 passes through the middle part of the fixing plate 212 and extends into the other side of the fixing plate 212, the baffle plate 211 is fixed to the panel 11 and the baffle plate 211 is located on one end of the panel 11 hinged to the base 5, and the baffle plate 211 pushes the ejector rod 216 as the panel 11 rotates so that the movable door 213 slides back and forth along the guide rod 215. In some embodiments, the ejector rod 216 is provided with a thread, the movable door 213 is provided with a threaded hole, and the ejector rod 216 is fixed to the movable door 213 through the thread; and in use, the ejector rod 216 can be manually screwed in and out of the threaded hole of the movable door 213 to adjust the opening of the movable door 213, thereby implementing the adjustment of the drainage capacity.
When the drainage switch 21 is used for flattening the panel 11, the baffle plate 211 abuts against the ejector rod 216 so as to drive the movable door 213 to compress the switch spring 214, the movable door 213 leaves the fixing plate 212, the first water outlet 20 is opened and is in the drainage state to discharge the residual water, thereby avoiding corroding the metal base; and when the panel 11 floats up, the switch spring 214 compresses the movable door 213, the movable door 213 is closely attached to the fixing plate 212, and the first water outlet 20 is closed to avoid water drainage. In some embodiments, the ejector rod 216 is a flat-nosed screw, so that the baffle plate 211 has a larger contact area with the ejector rod, and the ejection effect is better.
Besides, in addition to enabling the water accumulated in the water retaining device to be drained and avoiding corroding the water retaining device, the drainage device can also prevent the water retaining device from prematurely blocking the inlet passage and affecting the passage of vehicles. At this time, the water inlet capacity of the first water inlet 10 is greater than the drainage capacity of the first water outlet 20. When the water quantity at the inlet is less than the drainage capacity of the first water outlet 20, water entering the water storage cavity can be drained from the first water outlet 20, and the water retaining plate formed by the panel 11 is in the closed state, so that the vehicles can pass normally. Only when the water inlet amount is greater than the drainage capacity of the first water outlet 20, there will be water accumulated in the water storage cavity, and the front end of the panel 11 is opened upward along the hinge 3. In some embodiments, when the panel 11 floats up, the switch spring 214 in the drainage switch 21 compresses the movable door 213, the movable door 213 is closely attached to the fixing plate 212, and the first water outlet 20 is closed to avoid drainage.
In some embodiments, the two adjacent panels 11 are connected through a sealing device formed by two hold-down strips 18 compacting one flexible sealing strip 19, each flexible sealing strip 19 is overlapped on the two adjacent panels 11, and the two hold-down strips 18 are respectively fixed to the two panels 11 through bolts and press the two sides of the flexible sealing strip 19, as shown in
At the position of the panel 11 hinged to the base 5, the panel 11 and the base 5 are sealed through a rear sealing device composed of two rear hold-down strips 181 and a rear flexible sealing strip 7, two sides of the rear flexible sealing strip 7 are respectively overlapped on the panel 11 and the base 5, the two rear hold-down strips 181 are respectively fixed to the panel 11 and the base 5 through bolts, and the two rear hold-down strips 181 respectively compact the two sides of the rear flexible sealing strip 7 to be attached to the panel 11 and the base 5, thereby implementing the sealing between the panel 11 and the base 5. In some embodiments, the material for manufacturing the rear flexible sealing strip 7 is 4 mm-thick silicone rubber, so the sealing effect is better and the service time is longer.
Besides, in order to simplify the mechanism, save the space and keep the panel joint and the panel surface flat, second grooves 111 recessed toward the base 5 are respectively disposed on three edge positions of each panel 11 adjacent to the hinge 3, as shown in
As shown in
In the present embodiment, there are many ways for the water storage cavity to be communicated with the first water inlet 10, in addition to the above-mentioned way that the bottom of the beam 22 is provided with a gap and one of the water storage cavities is communicated with the first water inlet, it is also possible that the number of the first water inlets is set to be the same as the number of the water storage cavities, each water storage cavity is communicated with one first water inlet and the number of the first water inlets is the same as the number of the second water inlets.
As shown in
In the above embodiment, each panel 11 is provided with a connecting device 4 which is respectively connected with the base 5 and used for pulling the panel 11 when the panel 11 floats up; and thus, the panel 11 can be supported when completely floating up, and can fall down only by manual intervention when not used for water retaining, thereby preventing the sudden closing from hurting people around.
As shown in
After the panel 11 completely floats up, the cup-headed flange 61 on the outer sides of the left lower connecting rod 431 and the right lower connecting rod 432 expand outward under the action of the springs 6, the cup-headed flange 61 is exposed out of the groove 421 inside the beam, and the cup-headed flange 61 abuts against the top edge of the groove 421, thereby limiting the left lower connecting rod 431 and the right lower connecting rod 432 from rotating downward; thus, after water retreats, the floating plates 11 cannot cover down due to the dead weight, and it is necessary to manually push the panel 11 downward such that the cup-headed flange 61 can contract inward to enter the groove 421, and the left lower connecting rod 431 and the right lower connecting rod 432 rotate downward; and at this time, the upper connecting rod and the lower connecting rod are folded together and received in the groove 421, so that the panel 11 can be closed, thereby preventing the sudden closing of the panel 11 from hurting people around.
As shown in
The upper surface of the upper panel 101 is also provided with concave grains 133 or convex grains, thereby enhancing a certain friction force for the passing vehicles, preventing the vehicles passing over the water retaining device from slipping in rainy or snowy weather, and having favorable antiskid effects. As shown in
In the above embodiment, the two sides of the automatic water retaining device are wall surfaces, and in order to prevent the clearance leakage between the water retaining device and the side walls, the automatic water retaining device may further comprise flexible sealing plates respectively disposed between both sides of the automatic water retaining device and both side walls, wherein the flexible sealing plates are respectively fixedly connected to the side walls and the panel 11 of the automatic water retaining unit adjacent to the side walls in the automatic water retaining device, and after the panel 11 floats up, the flexible sealing plates are driven to bend therewith to implement a water retaining function between the two sides of the automatic water retaining device and the two side walls, thereby preventing the clearance leakage between the water retaining device and the side walls.
As shown in
In order to ensure the sealing effect between the water retaining device and the two side walls, the distance between the water retaining device and the two side walls is required to be small enough to ensure the sealing effect of the sealing plate. This requires a very precise measurement of the distance between the two side walls, and also very precise processing of the width of the water retaining device. Although a combination of different number of water retaining units can be used to achieve different widths of the water retaining device, it is still difficult to achieve the sealing between the water retaining device and the two side walls. Therefore, in some embodiments, a right-angled trapezoidal flexible sealing plate 13 may be disposed between the automatic water retaining unit at the end of the automatic water retaining device and the wall 16, as shown in
In some embodiments, the water retaining device further comprises a wall surface hold-down strip 161 and a panel hold-down strip 162, the base angle of the beveled side of the sealing plate 13 is 45 degrees, the wall surface hold-down strip 161 fixes the beveled side of the sealing plate 13 to the side wall 16 along the side wall surface by 45 degrees, and the panel hold-down strip 162 is parallel to the side wall surface and fixes the right-angle side of the sealing plate 13 to the upper surface of the panel 11.
The sealing plate 13 is a flexible material, and can be cut by a constructor on a construction site to adjust the width of the top side, so that the width of the top side of the sealing plate 13 is equal to the sum of the distance between the outermost side of the base and the side wall and the width of the panel hold-down strip, thereby greatly facilitating the site mounting construction and enhancing the adaptability of the product.
The number of the water retaining units is not less than two, and the panels 11 fixedly connected to the right-angle sides of the sealing plates 13 are panels of the two water retaining units of the water retaining device respectively adjacent to the two side walls.
When there is only one water retaining unit, the two ends of the unit are hermetically connected with the two side walls through the sealing plates 13. When there are multiple water retaining units, the outer sides of the panels of the two water retaining units respectively adjacent to the two side walls are hermetically connected with the two side walls through the sealing plates 13.
In some embodiments, a gap filler 6 having the same height as the base 5 is further disposed between the base 5 adjacent to the side wall 16 and the side wall, as shown in
The gap between the base 5 and the side wall 16 is filled with the gap filler 6, and the gap between the panel 11 and the side wall 16 is filled with the sealing plate 13, thereby ensuring the completeness and effectiveness of the whole water retaining scheme, lowering the construction difficulty of the top side of the sealing plate 13 and prolonging the service life of the sealing plate 13. Since the sealing plate 13 is the most vulnerable part in the whole water retaining device, the prolonging of the service life of the sealing plate 13 can prolong the service life of the whole water retaining device.
As shown in
In some embodiments, the length of the strip having a Z-shaped cross section may be the distance between the outermost side of the base 5 and the side wall plus 5 centimeters. Therefore, when mounting on side, the gap filler 6 of the strip having a Z-shaped cross section can satisfy the gap filling length between the outermost side of the base 5 and the side wall 16 without cutting, thereby ensuring the sealability and facilitating construction.
In some embodiments, the gap filler 6 may be a square tube having one end against the side wall 16 and the other end against the side of the base 5, and the square tube has the same height as the base 5.
The acting range of the gap filler can be quickly adjusted by a constructor on the construction site according to the distance between the base and the side wall, thereby ensuring the sealability and facilitating construction.
The width of the top side of the sealing plate 13 is not less than the sum of the distance between the outermost side of the base 5 and the side wall and the width of the panel hold-down strip 162.
The sealing plate 13 can be cut by a constructor on the construction side to adjust the width of the top side, so that the width of the top side of the sealing plate 13 mounted to the proper position is equal to the sum of the distance between the outermost side of the base and the side wall and the width of the panel hold-down strip. Therefore, the overall width of the water retaining device does not need to be strictly matched to the distance between the two side walls, and the overall width of the water retaining device can be adjusted within a wide range, thereby facilitating the prior measurement and on-site mounting construction.
As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
All the hold-down strips in the embodiments of the present application are fixed by bolts or rivets.
In order to minimize the effect on the vehicle access, the base of the water retaining device may be disposed as low as possible to reduce the height of the whole device. However, once a small amount of water enters the water storage cavity 5 at this time, the front end of the panel 11 is triggered to open upward along the hinge 3 to enter the water retaining state, and meanwhile, the normal passage of the vehicles is also stopped. In order to prevent the water retaining device from prematurely blocking the inlet passage and affecting the passage of the vehicles in the case of a small amount of water accumulation, the height of the lower edge of the first water inlet 10 from the ground can be raised. In some embodiments, the distance between the lower edge of the first water inlet 10 and the ground may be [3, 6] centimeters, for example, 4.5 centimeters, as shown in
Alternatively, in order to prevent the water retaining device from blocking the inlet passage prematurely and affecting the passage of the vehicles, the first water inlet may be set as a grid structure and disposed on the upper surface of the base 5. As shown in
When the water quantity at the inlet is small and the depth of the accumulated water is small, the water retaining plate formed by the panel 11 is in the closed state, so that the vehicles can pass normally. Only when the water quantity at the inlet is large and the depth of the accumulated water is large, the front end of the panel 11 is opened upward along the hinge 3 to sufficiently block the water out of a garage.
The water inlet grid can ensure the opening sensitivity of the device by increasing the water inlet amount, and can also ensure the structural strength, thereby preventing the device from being crushed by the vehicles.
Besides, when the rear end of the base 5 is further provided with the first water outlet 20, as shown in
The above description is only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and scope of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
