Description

  The present invention relates to a rainwater take-out device for taking out rainwater flowing down a kite to the outside.

  With the recent increase in awareness of water shortages and global environmental conservation, the idea of using rainwater as a resource has been recognized, and devices for collecting rainwater have been studied and simple devices have been proposed.

  For example, a cylindrical device attached to an appropriate position of the eaves that communicates with the eaves, a connecting cylinder that connects the upper eave and the lower eave, a connection cylinder that is connected to the connection cylinder, and a filter There has been proposed a rainwater dust removal and water intake device having a rainwater extraction tube portion in which is installed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This rainwater dust removal water intake device is composed of a filter that removes dust such as leaves and insects by a net and filter media, and a lid that can be opened and closed is attached to the upper opening of the rainwater take-out tube portion in which the filter is installed. It is fixed.

In this rainwater dust removal water intake device, the rainwater collecting cylinder part is opened to remove dust accumulated on the filter. However, since the dust must be taken out with the lid open by hand, there is a problem that the lid tends to become an obstacle when removing the dust accumulated on the filter. Also, the removal of dust associated with the opening and closing operation of the lid becomes very troublesome if there is a distance between the lid and the filter. Furthermore, the rainwater dust removal device is configured such that the rainwater is guided from the connecting cylinder portion to the rainwater extraction cylinder portion by the diagonal flow plate. Depending on the arrangement position and shape of the diagonal flow plate, the trash can be clogged here. In addition to making it difficult to take out rainwater, it may eventually cause a maintenance problem that the upper and lower hooks must be removed from the connecting cylinder to remove dust. .
