Definitions

  • the invention relates to an irrigation box, a drainage box, or an attenuation box for handling ground water, that can control or otherwise attenuate water which falls for instance as rain, particularly in "flash" storms or from flooding, including flooding caused by melting ice and/or snow.
  • EP 0 943 737 discloses an irrigation and/or drainage box which, in combination with another box or other boxes, form an irrigation and/or drainage unit or system to be placed in the ground. Such a unit or system can then withstand loads from the surrounding earth and/or loads on the ground. However, such a unit or system is not very capable of withstanding side soil loads or other side forces. For certain circumstances, it is desirable that the strength in lateral direction is improved. Such a box may also be known and used as an attenuation box.
  • EP 1997979 A1 discloses such a grid and describes that the grid and the boxes can be ultrasonically welded together to then end up with a single piece box.
  • the invention aims to solve at least one of the above problems. This is achieved by providing an irrigation and/or drainage box in accordance with claim 1.
  • a box comprising as integral parts of the box certain features is thus a single-piece box, not composed or assembled from a plurality of parts into a single piece, but produced "at once" as a single piece.
  • the invention is directed to a single box, that single box has an open side which is constructed for placement of an identical open side of another box against the open side so that the single box is then in an assembled condition.
  • the open side can be seen as being defined by an end of the at least one wall.
  • the open side can also be seen as having a contour which allows for matching a contour of the open side of another box having an identical open side.
  • a number of connecting parts is oriented perpendicular to the orientation of the remaining number of connecting parts.
  • the strength in the lateral direction is improved not only in one lateral direction but in two lateral directions which are perpendicular to each other.
  • the box is such that in the assembled condition the columns of one of these boxes is one-to-one connected up with the columns of the other one of these two boxes.
  • this has the advantage that the additional strength in lateral direction can be "passed on" from one box to the other. Consequently, it is not necessary that each column in each box is stiffened up by the maximum number of connecting parts. It will be possible to reduce the number of connecting parts without a significant loss of lateral strength. Less connecting parts will obviously ease manufacturing, reduce the material needed for the production of such a box and overall minimize the costs.
  • the at least one connecting part is positioned such that in the assembled condition none of the at least one connecting parts of one box has a mirror position with respect to the position of the connecting parts of the other box, the mirror plane being the plane where the open sides meet.
  • Such a box strikes a balance between costs and improvement of strength in lateral direction.
  • connecting parts of the different boxes are not in a mirrored position with respect to each other.
  • the at least one connecting part is positioned such that in the assembled condition each of the at least one connecting part of one box has a point symmetrical position with respect to the position of the connecting parts of the other box, the point of symmetry being the centre point of the plane where the open sides meet.
  • the at least one connecting part is positioned for obtaining a point symmetrical distribution of the at least connecting parts of two of these boxes when these are together put in the assembled condition.
  • this embodiment can be such that only one type of box needs to be produced, keeping production costs low, planning, material management, storage control, etc. easy and straightforward.
  • the box can still be produced in such a way that also without placement in the assembled condition, the box has sufficient strength in all relevant directions, so that for instance, stacking of such boxes other than in an assembled condition, will not lead to deformation of such boxes under their own weight and will avoid undesirable phenomena such as creep and other forms of plastic deformation.
  • the at least one connecting part is positioned such that in the assembled condition each of the at least one connecting part of one box is in a mirror position with respect to the position of the connecting parts of the other box, the mirror plane being the plane where the open sides meet.
  • the columns of the two boxes when connected up one-to-one are supported in the lateral direction by double the amount of connecting parts, giving superior strength in lateral direction.
  • At least one of the connecting parts is positioned between the base and the free ends of the at least one column.
  • the position of the connecting parts can be optimized such that two connecting parts in mirror position (the open sides forming the mirror plane) can optimally contribute to the overall thickness of two columns which are one-to-one connected up with each other.
  • the lateral strength and stiffness of a single box may optimally be improved in that case.
  • the invention is further related to a set of two boxes wherein one of the at least one connecting parts of one box is arranged to adopt a mating position with respect to one of the at least one connecting parts of the other box for reinforcing the respective parts.
  • the invention also relates to a set of two boxes as described above, wherein the boxes are identical and are connectable to one another through male and female connector parts.
  • Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of an irrigation box, a drainage box, or an attenuation box.
  • the box is a one-part construction, i.e. all parts are integral parts of the box 1.
  • the box has a base 4 with openings 4a therein for passage of fluid into and/or out of the box 1.
  • the box has four side walls 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, each extending substantially perpendicularly relative to the base. Each side wall is provided with openings 5e therein for passage of fluid into and/or out of the box.
  • Two side walls 5a, 5b extend along the longitudinal direction and two side walls 5c, 5d extend along a transverse direction.
  • box 1 is block-shaped.
  • the block is cylindrical in shape and that the side wall concerns one wall which is closed in itself, i.e. endless.
  • the box can also be substantially L-shaped, or cross-shaped.
  • the box 1 has an open side 6 which can be seen as defined by an end of the side walls and which is situated opposite the base 4. The open side 6 is designed such that two of these boxes 1 can be placed with the open sides 6 towards one another and then be connected to one another to adopt an assembled condition.
  • a single box is considered to be in an assembled condition when an identical open side of another box is placed against the open side of that single box.
  • the open side has a contour which allows for fitting and matching to a contour of the open side of another box having an identical open side.
  • a single box having no open side of another box placed against its open side is in an unassembled condition.
  • Box 1 is provided with columns 7 which extend substantially vertically from the base 4 towards the open side 6.
  • a number of columns 7 may be positioned free from direct contact with any of the side walls 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d.
  • Such free-standing columns are denoted by the reference 7a.
  • one or more columns are positioned in direct contact with one of the side walls 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d.
  • Box 1 comprises connecting parts 8 as further integral parts of box 1.
  • Such a connecting part 8 may be between one column 7a which is positioned free from direct contact with one of the side walls 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d and one column 7b which is positioned in direct contact with one of the side walls 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d.
  • Such connecting parts are denoted by the reference 8a.
  • such connecting parts 8 may also be between one of the side walls 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d and one column 7a which is positioned free from direct contact with one of the side walls 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d.
  • Such connecting parts are not shown in the drawing. However, the drawing shows embodiments wherein connecting parts 8b are between two columns 7a which are each free from direct contact with side walls 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d.
  • the connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b are free from direct contact with the base 4. As shown in Figs. 1-4 and Fig. 6 , it is possible that the connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b each connect up with column 7, 7a, 7b at the free end 9 of the respective column 7, 7a, 7b.
  • the free end 9 is considered to be the end of the column which is opposite the end that is connected up with base 4.
  • Fig. 5 shows a box 1 wherein the connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b are each positioned between the base 4 and the free end 9 of columns 7, 7a, 7b.
  • the box shown in Fig. 2 can easily be put into an assembled condition by letting the open sides 6 of the box shown in Fig. 2 and in Fig. 3 meet and the male connectors 10 and female connectors 11 connect up.
  • the connecting parts 8, 8a are oriented parallel to the transverse side walls 5c, 5d.
  • the connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b are oriented parallel to the longitudinal side walls 5a, 5b.
  • the columns 7, 7a, 7b in each of these boxes are optimally supported and the obtained assemblage of two irrigation boxes 1 has a relatively strong lateral strength (in this context understood to be a strength considered in a direction parallel to base 4 and/or open side 6).
  • Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 show an example of this.
  • the free ends 9 of the column 7d have partly a male connector part 10 and partly a female connector part 11.
  • the box having the male connector parts 10 and female connector parts 11 distributed over the free ends 9 of the column 7a, 7b, is such that two identical boxes 1 can be put together in an assembled condition.
  • An embodiment of a box suitable for that purpose is shown in Fig. 7 . That box is connectable to an identical box by means of connecting the male and female connector parts 10, 11.
  • each box is such that it is connectable to an identical box.
  • a number of the connecting parts are oriented perpendicular to the orientation of the remaining number of connecting parts.
  • the columns having female connector parts are connected by connecting parts which extend in a direction perpendicular to the direction into which connecting parts connecting columns having male connection parts extend.
  • the box shown in Fig. 7 has at least one column which is connected by a number of connecting parts of which at least one connecting part extends in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction into which at least one other connecting part of that member extends. As shown, Fig. 7 has two such columns.
  • connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b are positioned such that in the assembled condition each of these connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b of that box 1 are in a mirror position with respect to the position of the connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b of the other, identical, box 1.
  • the mirror plane is then the plane where the open sides 6 meet. Examples of such configurations of the connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b are shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 5 .
  • the connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b are positioned such that in the assembled condition none of the connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b of one box has a mirror position with respect to the position of the connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b of the other, identical, box 1.
  • the mirror plane is also in this context the plane where the open sides 6 meet. An example is shown in Fig. 6 .
  • connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b are positioned such that in an assembled position each of these connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b of one box has a point-symmetrical position with respect to the position of the connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b of the other, identical, box.
  • the point of symmetry is the centre point of the plane where the open sides 6 meet.
  • Fig. 4 shows a box 1 wherein a number of the connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b are oriented perpendicular to the orientation of the remaining number of the connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b.
  • the Figs. 1-5 show boxes wherein each of the connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b is oriented parallel to one of the side walls 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d.
  • Fig. 6 shows an embodiment of a box 1 according to the invention wherein the connecting parts 8 are oriented diagonally with respect to the side walls 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d.
  • connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b extend in a direction parallel to base 4 and/or open side 6, for another embodiment (not shown) it is not inconceivable that at least one of the connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b is oriented diagonally with respect to the base 4.
  • one of the connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b connects at least three columns 7, 7a, 7b, as shown in Fig. 6 .
  • the disclosure is also related to a set of two boxes according to the invention as explained with reference to various embodiments, wherein the connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b of one box 1 are arranged to adopt in the assembled condition a mating position with respect to one of the connecting parts 8, 8a, 8b of the other box, for reinforcing the respective connecting parts.
  • one box may have connecting parts having a U-shape in cross-section, and the other box may have connecting parts which fit in the U-shaped connecting parts of the other box. This would enhance the stability and stiffness of the two boxes in their assembled condition.
  • connecting parts are possible. Besides the U-shape in cross section other shapes are possible e.g. +,
  • the boxes as described above can be made of plastic, for instance by molding techniques.
  • a box according to the invention may comprise more than one connecting part between a pair of two columns and/or between a certain column and a certain part of a side wall.
  • the connecting parts are in the drawing shown to be straight, it is not inconceivable that some curvature is included.
  • the columns may be round columns, square columns, pentagons, hexagons, octagons, etc.
  • the term "column" also embraces a part of a side wall which is locally thicker to provide the function of a column. Such a thicker part of the side wall may equally extend substantially vertically from the base toward the open side.
  • the openings may have various shapes. In principle there is no limitation to the shape of the openings.
  • the side walls are not necessarily panels which extend in vertical direction.
