Description

  The present invention relates to a side groove block of a factory product made of reinforced concrete or unreinforced concrete used for collecting or draining rainwater etc. by laying on a road, and more specifically, after the side groove block is constructed on the road The present invention relates to an invention in which a series of protrusions for generating wheel running noise or wheel vibration is formed on the upper surface.

In general road, and the roadway the vehicle such as a car or a bicycle with a motorcycle or a prime mover to traffic, and the separation zone that separates the upper and lower lane, and the shoulder of the stop band, and the sidewalk, such as bicycle and pedestrian traffic, There are various types of roads, such as roads with narrow lanes that are less than one lane, roads with few lanes, wide sidewalks, and roads with separation zones, depending on importance and traffic volume. . In the following examples, the term “automobile” is used in relation to a “car” with a normal wheel, but in the claims, regardless of the presence or absence of power, including powered and unpowered towed vehicles (trailers) In general terms, the term “vehicle” is used as a general term.

  A gutter block for draining rainwater is laid on the separation zone and the shoulder at the end of the roadway, and serves as a boundary between the roadway and the separation zone, a boundary between the roadway and the sidewalk, or a boundary between the roadway and the private land. These gutter blocks are designed to efficiently collect rainwater that has fallen on the road and quickly flow it to nearby large drains and rivers so that cars and pedestrians can comfortably pass through it. Therefore, an opening for collecting rainwater, a slit-shaped groove, or a grating with high water collection efficiency is installed on the upper surface of the gutter block and on the road surface.

  In recent years, the barrier-free concept has led to not only the drainage function, but also the part that comes out on the road surface so that pedestrians can pass with peace of mind, reducing the opening, narrowing the slit-like groove width, Measures are taken to narrow the steel interval. Further, a side groove block provided with a non-slip pattern or a pattern suitable for the surrounding landscape is provided on the surface so that the pedestrian does not slip.

The side groove blocks currently being developed can be grouped into the following four types a) to d).
a) Mainly used for the boundary between the roadway and the sidewalk, the boundary between the roadway and the private land, and by laying the curb block 1 on the sidewalk side or the private side, the upper surface of the side groove block has the same function as the L-shaped drainage side groove, Furthermore, the side groove block 2 which attaches importance to the drainage inside the side groove block. Refer to FIG.
b) Used mainly for the boundary between the roadway and the sidewalk, the boundary between the roadway and the private land, and by integrating the curb block 3 on the sidewalk side or the private side, the side groove block upper surface also has the same function as the L-shaped drainage side groove In addition, a side gutter block with a water intake or a grating 4 is installed to collect the rainwater, and drainage inside the gutter block is also emphasized. Refer to FIG.
c) Mainly used for the boundary between the roadway and the sidewalk, the boundary between the roadway and the private land, and by arranging the curb block 1 on the sidewalk side or the private side, the side groove block upper surface also has the same function as the L-shaped drainage side groove, Further, a gutter block provided with an opening 5 on the upper surface for collecting the rainwater and provided with a water collecting hole 6 on the side surface on the roadway side in order to cope with drainage pavement. See FIG. 1 (c).
d) A side groove block provided with slit-like grooves 7 on the upper surface for collecting rainwater on the road. Refer to FIG.

  The gutter block is a structure that is laid at the end of a roadway or sidewalk in the road, and collects rainwater and quickly flows it to a nearby large drainage channel or river. Therefore, emphasis was placed on quick rainwater collection and drainage, harmony with the scenery around the sidewalk, pedestrian safety, etc., and there was not much consideration for car drivers.

  Automobiles usually run at a certain speed in the middle of the roadway, but the driver may get out of the original lane due to looking aside, thinking, or using a sound device. It may become.

  Recently, only the center line is painted with a method that produces many protrusions, and when the tires come into contact with the protrusions, the sound and vibrations that can be heard by the driver are transmitted to warn of dangerous driving. There is an example of doing so. There is also an example in which protrusions are provided in the roadway of a road with many sharp turns and traffic accidents, and attention is urged by similar sounds and vibrations.

  However, these measures are for oncoming vehicles when driving close to the center of the road or on sharp curves, and driving cars. When approaching the sidewalk or private side, the upper surface of the gutter block is smooth. Therefore, there is no sound or vibration, so the driver will be late to notice too much, causing tires to touch the adjacent curb block, climbing on the sidewalk, or thrusting into a private area, leading to a major accident There was a thing.

  The means considered in order to solve the above-mentioned problems is that there are a lot of gutter blocks on the side of the side gutter block because the side gutter block for draining rain water from the road is laid on the sidewalk side and the private side. Providing a protrusion.

The effect by using the side groove | channel with a protrusion of this invention is itemized below.
1) As the tire travels on the upper surface of the gutter block, a noise is generated, so that it can be prevented from overrunning due to looking aside, thinking, or using a sound device, so that the tire touches the curb block or on the sidewalk It can prevent getting on or driving into a private area and reduce traffic accidents.

2) Because the tires run on the upper surface of the gutter block, vibrations can be generated, preventing overruns due to side effects, thoughts, or the use of acoustic devices, so that the tires touch the curb block or on the sidewalk. It can prevent getting on or driving into private areas and reduce traffic accidents.
