Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air conditioner drain drainage treatment apparatus suitable for treating water generated from an air conditioner installed on a veranda of an apartment or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Water generated from air conditioners installed in a common corridor or veranda of a condominium for cooling or the like spreads in a fan shape on the floor surface when no treatment is performed, and dust or dirt there. This causes dirt and stains, causes mold, and causes slippage.

Conventionally, as a countermeasure, a method of digging a groove in a floor slab and fitting a metal gutter into the groove has been adopted. Since this product is made of metal, it is necessary to use screws to integrate it with the ground to engage with ordinary synthetic resin flooring. Dig a groove in the ground and screw it to the ground such as concrete. Construction work must be performed, which takes time and noise. In addition, it is impossible to completely seal the surrounding synthetic resin floor member and the metal groove member by screwing work, and there is a risk of water leakage from this portion. In addition, since a cover member for a gutter is required, construction and members are complicated and costly.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-46762 discloses a simple construction, eliminates the causes of problems such as water leakage, enhances reliability, greatly reduces construction costs, and requires a huge amount of demand. As shown in FIG. 8, in order to be able to cope with the problem, the belt-shaped sticking has a thickness equal to or substantially equal to that of the outdoor corridor floor sheet 2 and is adhered to the floor of the outdoor corridor together with the floor sheet. A drain drain groove material 1 having a shallow drain drain channel 14 formed in the longitudinal direction at the center in the width direction on the surface of the plate.
At the right place of the concrete ground of the flat floor to which the floor sheet 2 is to be attached, the drain drain groove member 1 is attached instead of a part of the floor sheet 2, and the drain drain groove member 1 and The floor of an outdoor corridor with drain drains is proposed in which the edges of the floor sheet 2 adjacent to the floor are welded and integrated.

However, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-4676 discloses
No. 2, there is only a description that the tip of the drain drainage hose 11 is fixed to the end of the open drain drainage groove with the hose fixing band 16, and this constitutes a part of the drainage drainage groove. Therefore, there is no idea of separately preparing a connecting tool including a connecting portion between the connecting pipe portion and the floor member for wastewater treatment.

[0006] However, the above-mentioned publication relates to drain drainage means which is simple in construction, but since it is an open type with a drainage groove opened, when a person passes there, the foot enters the groove and slippers or the like are used. The feet may be wet with water, and the fallen leaves and trash may fall into the ditch, blocking the flow of drainage, and are not yet in a satisfactory state.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to easily connect a drain hose of an air conditioner to a floor member having a non-open (ie, closed or semi-closed) drainage treatment groove. It is an object of the present invention to provide a connector and an air conditioner drain drainage treatment device including the connector and the floor member.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A first aspect of the present invention is to provide a drain hose for an air conditioner and a tubular waste water treatment comprising a connection portion between a pipe for connection to a drain hose of an air conditioner and a floor member for waste water treatment. The present invention relates to a connector between a floor member.

[0009] In the present invention, such connecting devices are classified into two types. The first type is
As shown in FIG. 1, a connecting tool 30 includes a connecting pipe portion 31 and a flange-shaped connecting portion 32 that extends at a lower end thereof at right angles around the pipe. Connection part 3
2 may be at the lower end of the connecting pipe portion 31 (FIG. 2A), but may be provided slightly above the lower end (FIG. 2B). The connecting portion 32 may have a brim shape that is continuous around the entire circumference of the pipe portion, or may have a brim shape that is intermittent.

In this type of connecting device, a connecting device 30 is disposed on the floor member 21 so that a drainage passage communicates with a hole formed in a ceiling portion of the tubular wastewater treatment floor member 21. And the connecting portion 32 of the connecting tool 30 are integrated in a watertight manner by welding or bonding.

A second type of connection device of the present invention is shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 4, instead of being connected to the ceiling of a tubular wastewater treatment floor member, the tubular wastewater treatment floor member is connected to the air conditioner side end of the tubular wastewater treatment floor member.

The connecting pipe portion of the connecting device of the present invention has an angle of 30 ° from the horizontal as shown by θ in FIG.
It is preferably curved at an angle of from 90 to 90, preferably from 45 to 60. For example, the connecting tool 30 shown in FIG. 1 includes a connecting pipe portion 31 having a curved portion and a connecting portion 32 to the wastewater treatment floor member 21 (see FIG. 1). Due to the curved shape, connection with the drain hose of the air conditioner becomes extremely easy. The reason is that the connection mode cannot always be inserted from directly above.

It is preferable that the diameter of the connecting pipe portion is reduced as the diameter of the connecting pipe portion approaches the connecting portion with the floor member for wastewater treatment (see FIG. 2). The reason is that the width of the wastewater treatment floor member can be reduced, and as a result, deformation due to walking can be prevented.

It is preferable that the connecting pipe has at least one ventilation hole (for example, 33 in FIG. 1) (see FIG. 1). The reason is that when the hollow portion of the floor member for drainage treatment is clogged, backflow is prevented, and drainage is possible even from this vent hole.

In a second aspect of the present invention, the connecting member according to any one of claims 1 to 4 is watertight in a tubular wastewater treatment floor member and an opening provided near one end of the wastewater treatment floor member. The present invention relates to an air conditioner drain drainage treatment device characterized by being bonded together.

That is, in the second type of the invention, the conventional connecting member is connected by making a hole in the ceiling portion of the floor member for wastewater treatment, whereas the end of the floor member for wastewater treatment is connected. It is a connecting tool of a type that is connected to the opening. One example is shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. Incidentally, the tubular wastewater treatment floor member of the present invention is usually manufactured by an extrusion molding method or the like, and cut into a desired length for use. Therefore, at this stage, both ends are open.

FIG. 3 shows that the connecting portion 32 of the connector 30 according to the present invention is fitted into the opening at the air conditioner-side end of the floor member 21 for wastewater treatment, and is bonded in a watertight manner. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a joining mode, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of only the coupling tool 30 in FIG. In addition, it is natural that the structure of the connecting portion of the connecting member needs to have a cross-sectional structure corresponding to the corresponding cross-sectional structure of the counterpart wastewater treatment floor member. Only the reinforcing support member can be omitted.

Further, the connecting pipe portion can be rotatable at a position below the curved portion. This makes it easier to insert the hose from the air conditioner into the connection pipe.

As a modified type of the present invention, the connecting pipe portion may be curved at an angle θ of 30 to 90 ° from the horizontal direction. The connecting member and the wastewater treatment floor member of the present invention can be easily manufactured by molding synthetic resin or rubber, but metal can also be used.

Although the structure of the tubular wastewater treatment floor member is not particularly limited, one example thereof is shown in FIG.
(A) and (b), and a semi-closed type shown in (c) of FIG.

As another example, FIGS.
(C) and (D). These examples are of a type in which the main body of the floor member 21 for wastewater treatment and the lid member 23 corresponding to the ceiling portion are integrated, and both cases are provided with a reinforcing support member 24. In FIG. 6A, both the upper surface and the lower surface of the lid member 23 corresponding to the ceiling portion are arc-shaped, and the reinforcing support member 24 hangs from the lower surface with an appropriate length. When the pressure of the wheelchair is applied, the cover member 23 is supported and reinforced. On the surface of the lid member 23, non-slip protruding objects 25 are provided at appropriate intervals.
FIG. 6B is essentially the same as FIG. 6A except that a part of the reinforcing support member 24 is connected to the lid member 23 and the drainage bottom surface 22 of the wastewater treatment floor member 21. Is different. FIG. 6C shows that a part of the lid member is opened in the longitudinal direction as compared with FIG.
Are protruding upward from the wastewater treatment floor member 21 side. FIG. 6D shows the simplest structure shown in FIG. 5B in which a reinforcing support member 24 is additionally provided.

(A), (B), (C), (D) of FIG.
6 (A), 6 (B), 6 (C) and 6 (D) is that the lid member 23 corresponding to the ceiling portion can be opened and closed with respect to the wastewater treatment floor member 21. I have. 7A can be basically manufactured by integral molding as in FIG. 6, but by making the material rich in rubber elasticity, only the right part of the lid member 23 in the drawing can be separated. The opening can be opened by utilizing the elasticity of the lid member 23, and the opening and closing part on the right side of the lid member 23 is bonded with a magic tape (registered trademark). (B), (C), (D) of FIG.
Is a type in which the floor member body 21 for wastewater treatment and the lid member 23 can be completely separated, and FIG.
6 connects the floor member body 21 for wastewater treatment and the lid member 23, and (C) and (D) show the magic tape 2
7 connects the two.

In FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the reinforcing support member 24 is connected only to one side of the lid member 23 or the floor member body 21 for wastewater treatment, except that one part is connected. However, the connection form is arbitrary, for example, the reinforcing support members are alternately connected to the lid member 23 and the floor member body 21 for wastewater treatment.

The width of the drainage channel 28 is generally 1
The distance (L ₃ ) between the protrusions 29 at both ends and the end is preferably at least 2.0 mm or more, and preferably 4.0 mm or more, if easiness of the heat welding operation is taken into consideration. The thickness of the wastewater treatment floor member must be the same thickness as a normal synthetic resin floor member,
Usually, it is often 2.5 mm. In general, the thickness of the drain groove is equal to or slightly smaller than the thickness of the floor material.

The method of the present invention for water-tightly joining a connector and a floor member for wastewater treatment can be performed by an adhesive, welding or welding.
