Abstract

PCT No. PCT/CH93/00165 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 18, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 18, 1994 PCT Filed Jun. 29, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/00653 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 6, 1994.In order to retain water on the roofs of buildings with a water-retention basin, a vortex-type throttle valve is to be fitted on the flat roof and is to be connected to a drain pipe leading to a drain. The throttle valve makes it possible to control the rainwater run-off at a given rate determined by the size of the throttle valve. If rain falls at a high rate, the excess is retained. Overflow protection is provided by fitting on top of the throttle, a length of pipe which permits the unrestricted flow of water through the throttle valve. Alternatively, the drain pipe can be extended upwards to the maximum permitted water-retention level, thus allowing the water which exceeds this level to pass directly into the drain pipe.

Description

Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist ein Verfahren zum verzögerten Abfluss des Meteor- oder Regenwassers von Dächern und Flächen mit Rückstaukapazität. Gegenstand der Erfindung ist weiter eine Vorrichtung zum verzögerten Abfluss des Meteor- oder Regenwassers von Dächern und Flachen mit Rückstaukapazität.The present invention relates to a delayed method Drainage of the meteor or rainwater from roofs and areas with backflow capacity. The invention further relates to a device for delayed outflow of meteor or rainwater from roofs and surfaces with backflow capacity.

Durch die intensive Bautätigkeit der letzten Jahre hat die Versiegelung der Oberflächen in den Siedlungsgebieten zugenommen. Das in den versiegelten Oberflächen anfallende Meteorwasser wird dadurch nicht mehr auf natürliche Weise langsam von der Natur aufgenommen, sondern es fliesst sehr rasch menr oder weniger stark verschmutzt ab. Dies hat dazu geführt, dass von staatlicher Seite bei grösseren Bauten Schritte unternommen werden, das anfallende Meteorwasser, z.B. bei starken Regenfällen, an Ort und Stelle zurückzuhalten und/oder erst nachträglich verzögert weiterzuleiten oder versickern zu lassen.Due to the intensive construction activity in recent years, the sealing has of the surface areas in the settlement areas increased. That in the sealed As a result, surface meteor water is no longer exposed naturally absorbed slowly by nature, but it flows very quickly or less heavily soiled. This has resulted in that the state takes steps for larger buildings the resulting meteor water, e.g. during heavy rains, withhold on the spot and / or delayed afterwards to pass on or to seep away.

Es ist schon vorgeschlagen worden, insbesondere bei Flachdachbauten, das Regenwasser vorerst auf dem Dach zu stauen und gedrosselt der Kanalisation zuzuführen (vgl. US-A-4 400 272 oder DE-A-1806527). Zum Ausgleich hoher Temperaturunterschiede wird häufig eine vorgegebene Wassermenge dauernd auf dem Dach zurückgehalten.It has already been proposed, especially for flat roof structures, that Rainwater initially dammed up on the roof and throttled the sewer system to supply (see. US-A-4 400 272 or DE-A-1806527). To compensate for high temperature differences is common a predetermined amount of water is permanently retained on the roof.

Bei einer bekannten Ausführungsform (vgl. DE-A-1806527) werden die Leitungsquerschnitte der vom Dach zur Kanalisation führenden Leitungen entsprechend klein dimensioniert, damit nur die vorgeschriebene zulässige Menge abfliessen kann. In a known embodiment (see. DE-A-1806527) the line cross sections of the Correspondingly small lines leading from the roof to the sewage system, so that only the prescribed permissible quantity can flow off.

Dabei genügt es allerdings nicht, nur die Leitungsquerschnitte entsprechend zu dimensionieren, sondern die Verlegung der Leitungen und deren Gefälle sowie deren hydraulische Höhen sind alles Parameter, die in eine solche Berechnung eingeschlossen werden müssen. Folglich ist die Berechnung und die Montage eines solchen Ablaufrohrsystems sehr aufwendig und die Führung der Leitungen, insbesondere wenn nach dem Prinzip der horizontal verlegten Sammelleitungen gearbeitet wird, oft mit hohen Kosten und mit ästhetischen Problemen innerhalb der Gebäude verbunden.However, it is not enough to do this, just the cable cross-sections accordingly dimension, but the laying of the lines and their Slopes and their hydraulic heights are all parameters that can be such calculation must be included. Hence the calculation and the assembly of such a drain pipe system is very complex and the management of the lines, especially if according to the principle of horizontal installed manifolds, often with high costs and associated with aesthetic problems within the building.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, die es mit einfachen Mitteln ermöglichen, die den Abflussleitungen zutliessende Wassermenge an die Kapazität des Kanalnetzes und/oder der Kläranlage sowie an die Rückstaukapazität des Bauwerkes anzupassen. Eine weitere Aufgabe besteht darin, die Vorrichtung derart auszugestalten, dass deren sichere Funktion von keinen weiteren Parametern abhängig ist.The object of the invention is to provide a method and an apparatus create that allow with simple means the drain pipes allowable amount of water to the capacity of the sewer network and / or the sewage treatment plant as well as the backwater capacity of the building adapt. Another object is to make the device such to design that their safe function by no other Parameters.

Gelöst werden diese Aufgaben durch die Merkmale Tier Patentansprüche 1 und 3.
Es gelingt durch eine Drosselung der Wassermenge, welche dem Abflussrohr zufliesst, unabhängig von der Auslegung der Rohrleitungen, welche vom Dach zur Kanalisation führen, die maximal abfliessende Menge genau festzulegen, Wassermengen, welche unterhalb der maximalen Kapazität liegen, können stets ungehindert ablaufen. Übersteigt die zufliessende Menge die Kapazität des Drosselorganes, so erfolgt ein Rückstau auf dem Dach. Durch ein in der Drossel oder separat angeordnetes Notablaufrohr kann beim Übersteigen der maximalen Uberstaukapazität des Daches das zusätzlich zufliessende Wasser direkt unter Umgehung der Drossel abgeleitet werden. Die Mengendrossel am Einlauf des Abflussrohres kann direkt in der Ebene des Daches oder erhöht angeordnet werden und muss nicht in einen versenkten Topf eingebracht werden, welcher zu einer Schwächung des Daches führen kann oder welcher bei einem nachträglichen Einbau zu grossen Schwierigkeiten führen kann. Die Abtlussleitungen innerhalb des Hauses können an den bauseits günstigsten Stellen geführt werden und deren Querschnitte müssen nur an die höchst mögliche Wassermenge angepasst sein. Die Wirbeldrossel ist unempfindlich gegen Verstopfungen und kann, sollten dennoch Verunreinigungen einen geregelten Ablauf verhindern, in einfacher Weise gereinigt werden. Die Kosten für den verzögerten Abfluss des Meteorwassers sind gering, da keine langwierigen Berechnungen der Rohrquerschnitte und eine teure Verlegung der Rohre innerhalb des Gebäudes nötig sind.
These tasks are solved by the features of animal claims 1 and 3.
By throttling the amount of water that flows into the drain pipe, regardless of the design of the pipes that lead from the roof to the sewage system, it is possible to precisely determine the maximum amount of water that can be drained off; amounts of water that are below the maximum capacity can always flow freely. If the amount flowing in exceeds the capacity of the throttle element, there is a backlog on the roof. By means of an emergency drain pipe arranged in the throttle or separately, if the maximum overflow capacity of the roof is exceeded, the additionally flowing water can be drained off directly bypassing the throttle. The flow restrictor at the inlet of the drain pipe can be arranged directly in the level of the roof or raised and does not have to be placed in a recessed pot, which can weaken the roof or which can lead to great difficulties when retrofitted. The drain pipes inside the house can be routed to the most favorable locations on site and their cross sections only have to be adapted to the highest possible amount of water. The vortex throttle is insensitive to blockages and can be cleaned easily if contaminants prevent a regulated process. The costs for the delayed outflow of the meteor water are low, since no lengthy calculations of the pipe cross-sections and an expensive laying of the pipes within the building are necessary.

Mit Bezugszeichen 1 in Figur 1 ist ausschnittweise ein Gebäudeoberteil mit einem Flachdach 3 dargestellt, welches seitlich hochgezogene Mauerabschnitte 5 zur Bildung eines Retensionsbeckens 7 für den Rückstau von während eines Regenereignisses temporär zurückgehaltenes Regenwasser aufweist. Der Aufbau des Flachdaches 3 ist im einzelnen nicht dargestellt, da er nicht Gegenstand dieser Erfindung ist. Ebenfalls nicht sichtbar dargestellt ist die Neigung des Daches 3, welche bewirkt, dass das dort sich sammelnde Wasser zu einem Abfluss 9 fliessen kann, von welchem es durch eine üblicherweise im Gebäude 10 verlaufende Rohrleitung 11 einer im Erdreich verlegten Kanalisationsleitung (nicht dargestellt) oder eine Versickerung zugeführt werden kann.
Der Abfluss 9 ist in den Beispielen nach den Figuren 1 bis 5 bündig mit der Oberkante des Daches, so dass keine Schwächung des Daches 3 im Bereich des Abflusses 9 durch ein Sammelbecken 13, wie es im Beispiel nach Figur 6 dargestellt ist, erfolgt.
With reference number 1 in FIG. 1, a section of a building upper part with a flat roof 3 is shown, which has laterally raised wall sections 5 to form a retention basin 7 for the backflow of rain water temporarily retained during a rain event. The structure of the flat roof 3 is not shown in detail since it is not the subject of this invention. Also not shown is the inclination of the roof 3, which causes the water that collects there to flow to a drain 9, from which it flows through a pipeline 11, which usually runs in the building 10, a sewer line (not shown) or an underground pipe Infiltration can be supplied.
The drain 9 in the examples according to FIGS. 1 to 5 is flush with the upper edge of the roof, so that the roof 3 is not weakened in the area of the drain 9 by a collecting basin 13, as shown in the example according to FIG. 6.

Auf das ohere Ende 15 der durch das Flachdach 3 geführten Rohrleitung 11 ist eine Wirbeldrossel 17 aufgesetzt, welche in dem Beispiel gemäss den Figuren 1 bis 3 aus zwei parallel zueinander angeordneten Platten 19 und 21 besteht, wobei die beiden Platten 19,21 durch zwei bogenförmige vertikal stehende Leitbleche 23 und 25 miteinander verbunden sind. Die beiden Platten 23 und 25 weisen je einen Viertelsbogen 25 und 27 und daran anschliessend im wesentlichen je einen geradlinigen Abschnitt auf. Zwischen je einem Ende eines geradlinigen Abschnittes 31 und dem geradlinigen Abschnitt 29 ist ein Spalt oder eine Öffnung 33 von der Breite a vorgesehen. Die spaltförmigen Öffnungen 33 und die beiden Platten 19 und 21 bilden den Einlass für den Zulauf des Wassers zur Rohrleitung 11, welche sich im Zentrum der Wirbeldrossel 17 befindet und an einen Rohrstutzen 16 anschliesst. In der unteren Platte 21 ist daher eine entsprechende Ausnehmung 22 angebracht, welche mit dem oberen Ende 15 der Rohrleitung 11 verbunden ist. Auf der Ausnehmung 22 kann eine austauschbare Abflussblende 12 mit einem Rohrteil 16 aufgesetzt oder eingesteckt sein, mit der die maximal durchfliessende Abflussmenge zusätzlich und auch nachträglich eingestellt oder verändert werden kann.On the upper end 15 of the pipe 11 guided through the flat roof 3 is a vortex throttle 17, which in the example according to the Figures 1 to 3 from two parallel plates 19 and 21 consists, the two plates 19,21 by two arcuate vertically standing baffles 23 and 25 are interconnected. The two plates 23 and 25 each have a quarter arc 25 and 27 and then essentially a straight section. Between each end of a straight section 31 and rectilinear section 29 is a gap or opening 33 from the Width a is provided. The gap-shaped openings 33 and the two Plates 19 and 21 form the inlet for the water inlet Pipeline 11, which is located in the center of the vortex throttle 17 and connects to a pipe socket 16. In the lower plate 21 is therefore a corresponding recess 22 is attached, which with the upper end 15 of the pipeline 11 is connected. On the recess 22 can replaceable drainage orifice 12 with a tubular part 16 or be plugged in with the maximum flow rate can also be set or changed subsequently.

Auch in der oberen Platte 19 kann ein Rohrstutzen 35 von der Höhe h aufgesetzt sein, welcher eine direkte Verbindung ins Innere der Wirbeldrossel 17 bildet und koaxial zum oberen Ende 15 der Rohrleitung 11 liegt. Die Oberkante 37 des Rohrstutzens 35 liegt auf der Höhe hmax., welcher der maximalen Einstauhöhe im Retensionsbecken 7 entspricht.A pipe socket 35 of height h can also be placed in the upper plate 19, which forms a direct connection into the interior of the vortex throttle 17 and lies coaxially with the upper end 15 of the pipeline 11. The upper edge 37 of the pipe socket 35 is at the height h max. , which corresponds to the maximum accumulation height in the retention basin 7.

Zum Schutz gegen Verunreinigungen, die auf dem aufgestauten zurückgehaltenen Wasser schwimmen und welche die Wirbeldrossel verstopfen könnten, kann auf das obere Ende des Rohrstutzens 35 ein halbkreisförmiges Rohrstück 38, wie es beispielsweise in den Figuren 13 und 19 dargestellt ist oder eine Tauchglocke 40, wie sie beispielsweise in Figur 14 dargestellt ist, aufgesetzt sein. Die Tauchglocke 40 weist einen Mantel 42 und einen Deckelabschnitt 44 auf. Zwischen dem oberen Ende des Rohres 35 und dem Deckelabschnit 44 ist ein mindestens dem Querschnitt des Rohres 35 entsprechender Spalt offengehalten. Auf der Wasseroberfläche schwimmende Verunreinigungen werden durch die Mantelfläche 42 zurückgehalten und das Wasser kann unter dem Mantel 42 hindurch zur Rohrleitung 35 fliessen.To protect against impurities on the pent up retained water swim and which the vortex throttle could clog, can on the upper end of the pipe socket 35 semicircular pipe piece 38, as it is for example in the figures 13th and 19 or a diving bell 40, such as, for example is shown in Figure 14, be placed. The diving bell 40 has a jacket 42 and a lid portion 44. Between the top End of the tube 35 and the lid section 44 is at least that Cross section of the tube 35 corresponding gap kept open. On the Contaminants are floating through the water surface Shell surface 42 retained and the water under the jacket 42nd flow through to the pipeline 35.

Die Wirbeldrossel 17 kann aus Stahl oder aus Kunststoff hergestellt sein. In einer bevorzugten Ausführung kann die obere Platte 19, z.B. durch Lösen von Flügelmuttern 39, welche auf entsprechenden Schraubbolzen, die durch die Platte 19 hindurchgeführt und an den vertikalen Platten 23 und 25 angebracht sind, abgehoben werden. um eine Reinigung des Innern der Wirbeldrossel 17 zu ermöglichen.The vortex throttle 17 can be made of steel or plastic be. In a preferred embodiment, the top plate 19, e.g. by loosening wing nuts 39, which correspond to corresponding Screw bolts which are passed through the plate 19 and to the vertical plates 23 and 25 are attached to be lifted off. by one To allow cleaning of the inside of the vortex throttle 17.

Anstelle von bogenförmigen Leitblechen 23 können auch ein- oder mehrfach abgekantete oder aus Abschnitten zusammengeschweisste Leitbleche 24, 26 in beschriebener Weise mit den beiden Platten 19 und 21 verbunden sein. In den Figuren 7 und 8 sind die Leitbleche 24 je zweimal durch Abkanten gebogen und weisen gerade verlaufende Abschnitte 24, 26 auf. Die Öffnungen 33 können fest oder, wie in Figur 2 dargestellt, veränderlich ausgebildet sein (keine Abbildung). Instead of arcuate baffles 23, one or more times folded baffles 24, 26 welded together from sections be connected to the two plates 19 and 21 in the manner described. In FIGS. 7 and 8, the guide plates 24 are each bent twice bent and have straight sections 24, 26. The Openings 33 can be fixed or, as shown in FIG. 2, changeable be trained (no illustration).

Bei geringem Wasserzufluss, d.h bei leichtem Regen, kann sämtliches zufliessendes Wasser kontinuierlich durch die Offnungen 33 in das Innere der Wirbeldrossel 17 und von dort durch die Leitung 11 in die Kanalisation gelangen.
Sobald die zufliessende Wassermenge grösser wird, bilden sich im Innern der Wirbeldrossel 17 umlaufende Wasserwirbel, die in Abhängigkeit vom Querschnitt a der Öffnung 33 und der Ausbildung der beiden vertikal gebogenen Platten 23 und 25 bzw. der Platten 24 in den Figuren 7 bis 10 und dem Querschnitt der Rohrleitung 11 oder der allenfalls darüber angeordneten Abflussblende 12 den Abfluss begrenzen. Dadurch wird das zuviel zufliessende Wasser über der Wirbeldrossel 17 im Retensionsbecken 7 aufgestaut und es fliesst stets eine gleichbleibende Menge ab.
Übersteigt der Wasserspiegel die Höhe hmax., wodurch die Gefahr einer Überflutung des Daches entsteht, so kann durch den Rohrstutzen 35 Wasser direkt von oben durch die Wirbeldrossel 17 hindurch zur Rohrleitung 11 und von dort z.B. in die Kanalisation gelangen. Anstelle eines auf der Wirbeldrossel 17 aufgesetzten Rohrstutzens 35 als Notentlastung oder -überlauf kann selbstverständlich auch ein auf gleicher Höhe endender Rohrleitungsabschnitt 41 (in Figur 1 in gebrochenen Linien dargestellt) direkt mit der Leitung 11 oder einer zusätzlichen zur Kanalisation führenden Leitung (keine Abb.) verbunden sein.
With a small inflow of water, ie with light rain, all the inflowing water can flow continuously through the openings 33 into the interior of the vortex throttle 17 and from there through the line 11 into the sewage system.
As soon as the amount of water flowing in increases, circulating water vortices form inside the vortex throttle 17, which, depending on the cross section a of the opening 33 and the design of the two vertically curved plates 23 and 25 or the plates 24 in FIGS. 7 to 10 and the like Cross-section of the pipeline 11 or the drainage orifice 12 which may be arranged above it limits the outflow. As a result, the excess water flowing in is accumulated above the vortex throttle 17 in the retention basin 7 and a constant amount always flows away.
If the water level exceeds the height h max. , whereby there is a risk of flooding the roof, water can pass through the pipe socket 35 directly from above through the vortex throttle 17 to the pipeline 11 and from there into the sewage system, for example. Instead of a pipe socket 35 placed on the vortex throttle 17 as an emergency relief or overflow, a pipe section 41 ending at the same height (shown in broken lines in FIG. 1) can of course also be connected directly to the pipe 11 or an additional pipe leading to the sewage system (no illustration). be connected.

Zur Verhinderung einer Verstopfung des Spaltes 33 ist die gesamte Wirbeldrossel 17 vorzugsweise von einem abnehmbaren Gitter 43 umgeben. Das Gitter 43 kann die Wirbeldrossel 17 seitlich und oben vollständig umschliessen (Figur 1) oder als oben offener runder oder rechteckiger Korb 48 ausgebildet sein (Figur 15).The entire vortex throttle is used to prevent the gap 33 from becoming blocked 17 preferably surrounded by a removable grid 43. The Grid 43 can completely complete the vortex throttle 17 laterally and above enclose (Figure 1) or as an open top round or rectangular Basket 48 may be formed (Figure 15).

Um mit einem geringen Lagerbestand an Wirbeldrosseln 17 auszukommen, kann bei kleiner maximaler Abflussmenge bei einer für die abzuleitende Wassermenge zu gross bemessenen Wirbeldrossel 17 mindestens eine der Öffnungen 33 durch einen Deckel verschlossen (keine Abb.) oder durch den verstellbaren Schieber 34 verkleinert oder verschlossen werden (Fig. 2).In order to get by with a small inventory of vortex chokes 17, can with a small maximum discharge amount for one to be derived Water volume too large vortex throttle 17 at least one of the Openings 33 are closed by a cover (not shown) or by the adjustable slider 34 can be reduced or closed (Fig. 2).

In der Ausführung nach den Figuren 4 bis 6 tritt anstelle der aus zwei gebogenen Blechen 25, 27 und zwei in einem Abstand übereinander liegenden Platten 19 und 21 bestehenden Wirbeldrossel eine zylinderförmige Wirbeldrossel 45 bekannter Bauart, wie sie in Regenbecken Verwendung findet, bei der das Wasser durch eine tangential einmündende Zutrittsöffnung 47 eintritt und durch die zentrale Abflussöffnung 49 gedrosselt abfliessen kann. Die Funktionsweise der in den Figuren 4 bis 6 dargestellten Wirbeldrosseln 45 ist identisch mit derjenigen in den Figuren 1 bis 3 gezeigten. Auch diese Wirbeldrosseln 45 können durch einen Korb oder ein Gitter 43 gegen Verschmutzung geschützt werden.In the embodiment according to Figures 4 to 6 occurs instead of two curved sheets 25, 27 and two at a distance one above the other lying plates 19 and 21 existing vortex choke a cylindrical vortex choke 45 known type, as in Rain basin is used in which the water is tangential confluent access opening 47 enters and through the central Drain opening 49 can flow throttled. How the in The vortex chokes 45 shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 are identical to those shown in Figures 1 to 3. These vortex chokes too 45 can by a basket or a grid 43 against pollution to be protected.

Die Wirbeidrosseln 17, 45 können auch direkt in einem Kiesbett auf dem Flachdach 3 eingesetzt werden.
Die Funktionsweise von Wirbeldrosseln ist beispielsweise in der US-A-3,198,214 beschrieben. Es werden daher keine weiteren Angaben über die Funktionsweise und die Auslegung von Wirbeldrosseln gemacht. Alternativ zu den direkt auf der Oberfläche des Flachdaches 3 aufgesetzten Wirbeldrosseln 17,45 können diese selbstverständlich auch innerhalb eines im Flachdach 3 versenkt in einem Sumpf 51 angeordnet sein (Figur 6).
The vortex throttles 17, 45 can also be used directly in a gravel bed on the flat roof 3.
The functioning of vortex chokes is described for example in US-A-3,198,214. There is therefore no further information on the functioning and the design of vortex chokes. As an alternative to the vortex throttles 17,45 placed directly on the surface of the flat roof 3, these can of course also be arranged within a sump 51 sunk in the flat roof 3 (FIG. 6).

Für einen temporären Rückstau von Regenwasser, das in grösserer Menge zufliesst, als von der Kläranlage aufgenommen werden kann, kann auch eine Wirbeldrossel 45, wie sie in Figur 11 dargestellt ist, eingesetzt werden. Diese Wirbeldrossel 45 besitzt keinen durch sie hindurch verlaufenden Notüberlauf, sondern dieser muss unabhängig und an anderer Stelle auf dem Dach vorgesehen sein. In den Ausgestaltungen der Wirbeldrosseln in den Figuren 12, 13 und 14 sind Notüberlaufleitungen 35 vorgesehen, die koaxial zur Drossel 45 angeordnet sind. In der einfachsten Ausführung gemäss Figur 12 ist die Notüberlaufleitung oben offen. In der Ausgestaltung nach Figur 13 ist auf dem Ende des Rohrstutzens 35 der Notüberlaufleitung ein halbkreisförmiger Rohrbogen 52 aufgesetzt, der verhindert, dass auf der Oberfläche des aufgestauten Wassers schwimmende Verunreinigungen in die Notüberlautleitung gelangen und diese verstopfen können.For a temporary backflow of rainwater in large quantities inflows than can be taken up by the sewage treatment plant, can also a vortex throttle 45, as shown in Figure 11, used will. This vortex throttle 45 has no through it ongoing emergency overflow, but this must be independent and at others Be provided on the roof. In the configurations of the Vortex chokes in FIGS. 12, 13 and 14 are emergency overflow lines 35 provided which are arranged coaxially to the throttle 45. In the The simplest version according to FIG. 12 is the emergency overflow line at the top open. In the embodiment according to FIG. 13, at the end of the Pipe socket 35 of the emergency overflow line a semicircular elbow 52 put on, which prevents the pent up on the surface Water-contaminating contaminants get into the emergency transmission line and can clog them.

Bei einem nachträglichen Einbau einer Wirbeldrossel 17 auf dem Dach eines bestehenden Gebäudes 10, bei dem das obere Ende 15 der Rohrleitung 11 einen wesentlich grösseren Querschnitt aufweist, als der Durchmesser der ablaufseitigen Öffnung an der Wirbeldrossel 17, kann diese auf einem Adapter 54 befestigt sein, welcher aus einer Platte 62 besteht, an der ein Kragen 64 befestigt ist und in das obere Ende 15 der Leitung 11 einsteckbar ist (Figur 15).With a subsequent installation of a vortex throttle 17 on the roof an existing building 10, in which the upper end 15 of the pipeline 11 has a substantially larger cross section than the diameter the outlet opening on the vortex throttle 17, this can on a Be attached adapter 54, which consists of a plate 62 on the a collar 64 is attached and into the upper end 15 of the conduit 11 is insertable (Figure 15).

Die in Figur 16 schematisch dargestellte Wirbeldrossel 77 weist einen Einlauf 79 auf, der in die obere Deckfläche einmündet. Diese Wirbeldrossel 77 kann entweder in einem Sumpf, wie in Figur 6 dargestellt, oder auf einem Dach mit Dauerrückstau von der Höhe a eingesetzt werden.The vortex throttle 77 shown schematically in FIG. 16 has one Inlet 79, which opens into the upper surface. This Vortex choke 77 can either be in a sump, as in FIG. 6 shown, or on a roof with permanent backflow from the height a be used.

Die in Figur 17 dargestellte Wirbeldrossel 69 kann mit einem radialen Einlaufstutzen 71 versehen sein oder zusätzlich einen tangentialen Einlauf 73 aufweisen. Der tangentiale Einlauf 73 kann höherliegend sein als der Einlaufstutzen 71. Dies ermöglicht es, bei einer allfälligen Verstopfung des tieferliegenden Einlaufes 71 als Noteinlauf mit Drosseleigenschaften zu fungieren. Vor dem tieferliegenden Einlauf 71 kann anstelle eines die gesamte Wirbeldrossel 69 umgebenden Gitters 43, wie in Figur 1 gezeigt, ein Seiher 75 vorgesetzt sein. Der Seiher 75 besteht dabei aus einem rohrförmigen Abschnitt, der stirnseitig verschlossen ist, und ist aus Lochblech oder aus gitterförmigem Material hergestellt. Der Einsatz der in Figur 17 dargestellten Wirbeldrossel 69 folgt analog zu den übrigen bereits beschriebenen.The vortex throttle 69 shown in FIG. 17 can be radial Inlet connection 71 may be provided or additionally a tangential Have inlet 73. The tangential inlet 73 can be higher than the inlet connection 71. This makes it possible, in the event of a Blockage of the lower inlet 71 as an emergency inlet with Throttle characteristics to act. In front of the lower inlet 71 Instead of a grid 43 surrounding the entire vortex throttle 69, As shown in Figure 1, a colander 75 can be placed in front. The colander 75 consists of a tubular section, the front is closed, and is made of perforated sheet or of grid-shaped material produced. The use of the vortex throttle 69 shown in FIG. 17 follows analogously to the others already described.

Bei Flachdächern 3 mit permanentem Überstau von Wasser bis zur Höhe h3 (vgl. Figur 18) ist die auslaufseitige Öffnung der Wirbeldrossel 55 oberhalb der Kote h3 angeordnet. Die vertikal angeordnete Wirbeldrossel 55 kann eine Ausbildung entsprechend der in Figur 4 dargestellten Wirbeldrossel 45 aufweisen, wobei die Wasserzutrittsöffnung 47 sich unterhalb der Kote h3 befindet. Selbstverständlich könnte auch eine Wirbeldrossel 17, wie sie in den Figuren 2, 7, 8 und 9 dargestellt ist, eingesetzt werden, wenn eine der beiden Zuflussöffnungen, nämlich die obenliegende, verschlossen wird. Die Notüberlaufleitung 35 ist in der vertikalen Verlängerung der Rohrleitung 11 angeordnet und kann zur Verhinderung des Zutritts von aufschwimmenden Verunreinigungen eine Haube oder Tauchglocke 40 aufweisen, wie sie in Figur 14 beschrieben und dargestellt ist. Auch um den Einlauf 47 der Wirbeldrossel 55 herum kann eine Tauchwand 67 angeordnet sein. Die Tauchwand 67 besteht aus vertikalgesteliten Blechen oder Kunststoffplatten, welche den Zutritt von aufschwimmenden Verunreinigungen zur Wasserzutrittsöffnung 47 verhindern.In the case of flat roofs 3 with permanent overflow of water up to the height h 3 (cf. FIG. 18), the outlet-side opening of the vortex throttle 55 is arranged above the knot h 3 . The vertically arranged vortex throttle 55 can have a configuration corresponding to the vortex throttle 45 shown in FIG. 4, the water inlet opening 47 being located below the knot h 3 . Of course, a vortex throttle 17, as shown in FIGS. 2, 7, 8 and 9, could also be used if one of the two inflow openings, namely the one at the top, is closed. The emergency overflow line 35 is arranged in the vertical extension of the pipeline 11 and can have a hood or diving bell 40, as is described and illustrated in FIG. 14, in order to prevent the entry of floating contaminants. A baffle 67 can also be arranged around the inlet 47 of the vortex throttle 55. The baffle 67 consists of vertically formed sheets or plastic plates which prevent the entry of floating contaminants to the water inlet opening 47.

Bei geringen Regenmengen kann das sich auf dem Dach 3 sammelnde Wasser durch die eingetauchte Zutrittsöffnung 47 ungedrosselt in die Rohrleitung 11 und von dort zur Kanalisation gelangen. Steigt jedoch das Niveau über die Kote h3 bis auf die Kote h4, die über dem Scheitel der auslaufseitigen Offnung der Wirbeldrossel 55 liegt, bilden sich in der Wirbeldrossel 55 Wirbel, welche den Durchtritt von Wasser auf das durch die Ausbildung der Wirbeldrossel 55 vorgegebene Mass beschränken. Es erfolgt folglich ein Anstieg des Wasserspiegels bei konstantem gedrosseltem Ablauf bis auf die Höhe hmax. Steigt der Wasserspiegel durch intensive Regenfälle weiter an, so kann durch die Notüberlaufleitung 35 ungedrosselt Wasser der Rohrleitung 11 zugeführt werden. Alternativ ist es auch möglich, das Notüberlaufwasser einer hier nicht dargestellten Leitung zuzuführen. welche direkt. unter Umgehung einer Kläranlage, in ein Gewässer mündet.
In der Ausgestaltung der Erfindung nach Figur 19, welche nur schematisch die Anordnung der einzelnen Elemente darstellt, liegt die Wirbeldrossel 55 bzw, deren auslaufseitige Öffnung 47 auf der Kote h3, welche der vorgesehenen Höhe des Dauerstaus entspricht. Bei einem weiteren Anstieg des Wasserspiegels kann, solange dieser die Kote h4 nicht übersteigt. das Wasser ungedrosselt der Rohrleitung 11 zutliessen. Wird die Kote h4 überschritten, so setzt die Wirkung der Wirbeldrossel 55 ein. d.h. das von nun an der Wirbeldrossel 55 zufliessende Wasser wird in der durch die Ausbildung der Wirbeldrossel 55 bestimmten Menge, die nicht überschritten werden kann, abgeführt. Bei einem weiteren Anstieg über die Kote hmax kann das Wasser über die Notüberlaufleitung abfliessen. Das in den Wasserspiegel hmax eingetauchte vordere Ende 59 der Notüberlaufleitung 35 verhindert wiederum, dass aufschwimmende Verunreinigungen in die Rohrleitung 11 gelangen und diese verstopfen können.
Wird die Wirbeldrossel 55 in der Ausgestaltung der Erfindung gemäss Figur 19 auf dem Niveau des Daches 3 angeordnet, so entspricht deren Funktionsweise derjenigen in Figur 1.
With small amounts of rain, the water collecting on the roof 3 can flow unrestricted through the immersed access opening 47 into the pipeline 11 and from there to the sewage system. However, if the level rises above the knot h 3 to the knot h 4 , which lies above the apex of the opening on the outlet side of the vortex throttle 55, vortexes 55 form in the vortex throttle, which the passage of water to the one predetermined by the formation of the vortex throttle 55 Limit dimensions. There is consequently an increase in the water level with a constant throttled discharge up to the height h max . If the water level continues to rise due to intensive rainfall, water can be supplied to the pipeline 11 unthrottled through the emergency overflow line 35. Alternatively, it is also possible to supply the emergency overflow water to a line (not shown here). which directly. bypassing a sewage treatment plant, flows into a body of water.
In the embodiment of the invention according to FIG. 19, which represents the arrangement of the individual elements only schematically, the vortex throttle 55 or its outlet-side opening 47 lies on the hull h 3 , which corresponds to the intended height of the continuous congestion. With a further rise in the water level, as long as it does not exceed the level h 4 . allow the water to flow unrestricted to the pipeline 11. If the hote h 4 is exceeded, the effect of the vortex throttle 55 begins. ie the water flowing from now on to the vortex throttle 55 is discharged in the amount determined by the formation of the vortex throttle 55, which cannot be exceeded. With a further climb over the Kote h max , the water can flow out via the emergency overflow line. The front end 59 of the emergency overflow line 35, which is immersed in the water level h max , in turn prevents floating impurities from entering the pipeline 11 and blocking it.
If the vortex throttle 55 in the embodiment of the invention according to FIG. 19 is arranged on the level of the roof 3, its mode of operation corresponds to that in FIG. 1.
