Definitions

  • the invention relates to a percolation device infiltration of water, especially rainwater
  • infiltration devices which are usually used to initiate rainwater into the ground, without it comes to the surface to a backwater, ie without flooding-like responsible occur. Even without drains, it should be possible to initiate rainwater into the ground. Furthermore, the rainwater should not be discharged into a sewage system, as well as the introduction of rainwater, for example, large parking lots, large roofs or the like. With fees from the cities and municipalities is occupied. In order to save costs, infiltration devices are accordingly used to introduce rainwater into the soil.
  • the rainwater is introduced via an inlet opening in the shaft section of a percolation device or a percolation shaft and then can be transported via a drain opening in a seepage pipe.
  • the seepage pipe is provided at its outer periphery with a plurality of holes or perforations through which the water can be introduced into the soil.
  • the seepage pipes are often placed in a gravel bed, so that starting from the openings in the seepage pipe, the water can be introduced into the gravel bed and then into the surrounding soil, without it even with larger amounts of water, which may be incurred in torrential rains Backlog can come.
  • problematic infiltration device is for example from the DE 296 16 503.4 U1 known
  • the DE 197 01 522 C1 discloses a percolation device in which a filter device is suspended from a radial inner flange of an upper manhole subsection and the upper manhole subsection is seated with its inner flange on an adapter plate, which in turn rests in an annular shoulder formed on an upper edge section of a lower manhole subsection.
  • DE 197 01 522C1 will be the closest thing to the technology.
  • US 5,810,510 A refers to a percolation device for infiltration of water with a manhole section, wherein at least one inlet opening at the manhole section and at least one drain opening are provided at the manhole section.
  • a percolation device for infiltration of water, in particular rainwater with a shaft section, with at least one inlet opening at the shaft section and with at least one outlet opening at the shaft section, wherein a filter device is arranged reversibly in the shaft section between the inlet opening and the outlet opening ( Fig.1 , Reference numeral 20), wherein a holding device is arranged in the shaft section between the inlet opening and the outlet opening ( Fig.1 , Reference numeral 40, 42) holding the filter device ( Fig.1 , Reference numerals 20, 42), and wherein the manhole section is divided into two manhole sub-sections ( Fig.1 Reference numeral 2, 46), wherein the one shaft sub-section has the at least one or more inlet openings, wherein the two shaft subsections are mutually rotatable about the common longitudinal axis (see Fig.1 ; Column 3, lines 9-15, 27-32).
