La invención, tal como expresa el enunciado de la presente memoria descriptiva, hace referencia a una canaleta empotrable, aplicable para la rehabilitación de colectores, drenajes y similares, la cual aporta a la función a que se destina una serie de ventajas e innovadoras características que se describirán en detalle más adelante y que suponen una mejorada alternativa a los sistemas actualmente conocidos para el mismo fin. The invention, as expressed in the statement of the present specification, refers to a recessed gutter, applicable for the rehabilitation of collectors, drains and the like, which contributes to the function to which a series of advantages and innovative features are destined. they will be described in detail below and which represent an improved alternative to the systems currently known for the same purpose.

Más en particular, el objeto de la invención se centra en una pieza acanalada o canaleta que, además de estar realizada en cualquier material plástico apropiadamente resistente, preferentemente poliéster reforzado con fibra de vidrio (PRFV), lo cual proporciona a la misma ventajas técnicas adicionales, como un menor peso que permite la formación de piezas de mayor tamaño, o la posibilidad de conseguir una superficie muy lisa que favorece el deslizamiento de fluidos, presenta la particularidad de contar con una configuración estructural especialmente estudiada para facilitar y mejorar su encastrado mediante hormigón en la parte inferior de los colectores a los que preferentemente se destina para su rehabilitación, siendo igualmente aplicable para drenaje de fluidos en otros campos, por ejemplo en el drenaje de autopistas, drenaje de aeropuertos, drenaje en plantas industriales, etc. More particularly, the object of the invention is centered on a grooved piece or gutter that, in addition to being made of any appropriately resistant plastic material, preferably glass fiber reinforced polyester (GRP), which provides the same additional technical advantages , as a lower weight that allows the formation of larger pieces, or the possibility of achieving a very smooth surface that favors the sliding of fluids, has the particularity of having a structural configuration specially studied to facilitate and improve its embedded with concrete in the lower part of the collectors to which it is preferably intended for rehabilitation, being equally applicable for drainage of fluids in other fields, for example in highway drainage, airport drainage, industrial plant drainage, etc.

FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

El campo de aplicación de la presente invención se enmarca dentro del sector técnico de la industria dedicada a la fabricación de tuberías, centrándose particularmente en la fabricación de canaletas para la rehabilitación de colectores de saneamiento. The field of application of the present invention is part of the technical sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of pipes, focusing particularly on the manufacture of gutters for the rehabilitation of sanitation collectors.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Como es sabido, para la rehabilitación de colectores de saneamiento hechos a partir de tuberías de obra, es decir, de cemento, ladrillo u hormigón, además de adecuar las paredes de los mismos, se instala en su parte inferior un canal para la recogida del agua, el cual se configura a partir de canaletas conformadas por piezas acanaladas que se disponen acopladas linealmente entre sí y de forma que su parte convexa queda hacia arriba determinando el canal por el que fluyen los residuos. As is known, for the rehabilitation of sanitation collectors made from construction pipes, that is, cement, brick or concrete, in addition to adapting the walls of the same, a channel is installed at the bottom for the collection of water, which is configured from gutters made up of grooved pieces that are arranged linearly coupled to each other and so that their convex part is upwards determining the channel through which the waste flows.

En la actualidad, y como referencia al estado de la técnica, cabe mencionar que para dicha rehabilitación se utilizan canaletas fabricadas en gres, las cuales, además de ser pesadas, caras, y susceptibles de romperse durante su instalación, están conformadas por piezas de escasa longitud, ya que de los contrario pesarían mucho, y por tanto, su instalación requiere de mayor número de empalmes, lo cual se traduce en un mayor tiempo de instalación y de mayor riesgo de fugas, considerando la unión como el punto más débil de cualquier conducción. At present, and as a reference to the state of the art, it is worth mentioning that for said rehabilitation gutters made of stoneware are used, which, in addition to being heavy, expensive, and capable of breaking during installation, are made up of sparse parts length, since otherwise they would weigh a lot, and therefore, their installation requires a greater number of joints, which translates into a longer installation time and greater risk of leaks, considering the union as the weakest point of any driving.

Sería deseable, por tanto, mejorar el proceso de rehabilitación y evitar los inconvenientes antedichos mediante un nuevo tipo de canaleta que permitiera una instalación más rápida y barata, resultando a la vez más resistente y efectiva por presentar una superficie muy lisa que favorece un mejor deslizamiento de los materiales que discurren por el colector, o drenaje siendo este el objetivo esencial de la presente invención, debiendo señalarse que, al menos por parte del solicitante, se desconoce la existencia de ninguna otra canaleta que presente unas características técnicas, estructurales y constitutivas semejantes a las que presenta la que aquí se preconiza. It would be desirable, therefore, to improve the rehabilitation process and avoid the aforementioned inconveniences by means of a new type of gutter that would allow a faster and cheaper installation, being at the same time more resistant and effective by presenting a very smooth surface that favors a better sliding. of the materials that run through the collector, or drain being the essential objective of the present invention, it should be noted that, at least by the applicant, the existence of any other gutter that has similar technical, structural and constitutive characteristics is unknown. to the ones presented here.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

Así, la canaleta empotrable, aplicable para la rehabilitación de colectores, drenajes y similares que la presente invención propone se configura como una destacable novedad dentro de su campo de aplicación, ya que, a tenor de su implementación y de forma taxativa, se alcanzan satisfactoriamente los objetivos anteriormente señalados como idóneos, estando los detalles caracterizadores de la misma que lo hacen posible convenientemente recogidos en las reivindicaciones finales que acompañan a la presente memoria descriptiva. Thus, the recessed gutter, applicable for the rehabilitation of collectors, drains and the like that the present invention proposes is configured as a remarkable novelty within its field of application, since, according to its implementation and in a restrictive way, they are satisfactorily achieved the objectives indicated above as suitable, the details characterizing it being made possible conveniently included in the final claims that accompany the present specification.

De forma concreta, lo que la invención propone, como ya se ha apuntado anteriormente, es una canaleta destinada esencialmente para ir incorporada en la parte inferior de los colectores de saneamiento que son sometidos a un proceso de rehabilitación, aunque no solo limitada a ello, la cual se configura a partir de una pieza acanalada realizada en material plástico, siendo preferentemente de PRFV, si bien puede ser de PVC o cualquier otro material plástico adecuadamente resistente a tenor de la aplicación a que se destina. En todo caso su constitución plástica proporciona la ventaja de que, al ser un material mucho más ligero, permite conformar piezas de mayor longitud, unos 1500 mm, y menor peso, unos 10Kg para un diámetro de 300mm, frente a los 30 Kg que puede pesar una canaleta convencional de gres de diámetro similar pero más corta. Specifically, what the invention proposes, as already noted above, is a gutter essentially intended to be incorporated in the lower part of the sanitation collectors that are subjected to a rehabilitation process, although not only limited thereto, which is configured from a corrugated piece made of plastic material, preferably of GRP, although it can be made of PVC or any other plastic material adequately resistant according to the application to which it is intended. In any case, its plastic constitution provides the advantage that, being a much lighter material, it allows forming pieces of greater length, about 1500 mm, and less weight, about 10 kg for a diameter of 300 mm, compared to the 30 kg that can be Weigh a conventional stoneware gutter of similar diameter but shorter.

Además, la canaleta de PRFV presenta una superficie superior totalmente lisa y pulida, que mejora el deslizamiento de fluidos que la superficie menos lisa de las canaletas de gres y, al poder fabricarse piezas más largas, se realizan menor número de juntas, siendo ambos factores favorecedores de un deslizamiento más eficaz del fluido que recoge el colector. In addition, the GRP channel has a completely smooth and polished upper surface, which improves the sliding of fluids than the less smooth surface of the stone gutters and, since longer pieces can be manufactured, fewer joints are made, both factors being favoring a more efficient sliding of the fluid collected by the collector.

Por otra parte, la canaleta preconizada, que como su nombre indica tiene una configuración en forma de canal, al estar fabricada mediante molde puede presentar una configuración variable, de forma que, además de una sección semicircular, puede adoptar otras formas, tal como en forma de U, en forma V, u otras. En cualquier caso, la canaleta está pensada para ir empotrada en hormigón u otros materiales de relleno similares, habiéndose previsto para ello la existencia en ella de sendas aletas laterales que discurren longitudinalmente a lo largo de sus dos extremos superiores de forma que proporcionan un mejor asentamiento en el hormigón. On the other hand, the recommended channel, which, as its name indicates, has a channel-shaped configuration, since it is manufactured by mold, it can have a variable configuration, so that, in addition to a semicircular section, it can take other forms, such as U-shaped, V-shaped, or others. In any case, the gutter is designed to be embedded in concrete or other similar filling materials, the existence of side fins that run longitudinally along its two upper ends having been provided for it to provide a better settlement. in the concrete

Asimismo, y para mejorar dicho asentamiento, se contempla opcionalmente, la incorporación en la base de la canaleta, unida a la misma por su parte inferior o cóncava, de una o más piezas de soporte, haciendo que el encastre en el hormigón quede aún más reforzado. Likewise, and to improve said settlement, it is optionally contemplated, the incorporation at the base of the gutter, attached to it by its lower or concave part, of one or more support pieces, making the insertion in the concrete even more reinforced.

Por último, conviene destacar que, en un extremo de la canaleta se ha previsto una zona ligeramente sobredimensionada, con objeto de posibilitar el acople sobre la misma del extremo opuesto de la canaleta contigua, haciendo que las canaletas contiguas se solapen sin formar escalones, de manera que la junta entre ellas sea más lisa y más estanca. Finally, it should be noted that, at one end of the gutter, a slightly oversized area has been provided, in order to enable the coupling on it of the opposite end of the adjacent gutter, causing the adjacent gutters to overlap without forming steps, of so that the joint between them is smoother and more tight.

La descrita canaleta empotrable, aplicable para la rehabilitación de colectores, drenajes y similares representa, pues, una estructura innovadora de características estructurales y constitutivas desconocidas hasta ahora para tal fin, razones que unidas a su utilidad práctica, la dotan de fundamento suficiente para obtener el privilegio de exclusividad que se solicita. The described recessed gutter, applicable for the rehabilitation of collectors, drains and the like represents, therefore, an innovative structure of structural and constitutive characteristics unknown until now for this purpose, reasons that together with its practical utility, provide it with sufficient foundation to obtain the exclusivity privilege requested.
