Description

  The present invention relates to a bucket for rainwater and a rainwater trough provided with this bucket.

  Usually, rainwater is provided in the middle of the pipeline for discharging rainwater. In order to prevent the mud mixed with rainwater from flowing out to the downstream side, the bottom of the rainwater is disposed at a position lower than the inflow pipe and the outflow pipe connected to the rainwater. Therefore, rainwater always stays at the bottom of rainwater. However, there is a problem in that rainwater stays constantly, so that it becomes a suitable habitat for mosquito larvae, that is, bow flares.

  Conventionally, an insecticide has been sprayed to prevent the occurrence of mosquitoes. However, spraying of insecticide is not preferable from the viewpoint of environmental pollution. Therefore, as described in Patent Document 1 below, a technique for preventing the generation of mosquitoes in rainwater using the antibacterial action of copper has been proposed. In the rainwater trough described in Patent Document 1, a guide or the like for attaching a copper member is provided on the inner side wall of the rainwater trough, and the copper member is attached to the inner side wall of the rainwater trough. In particular, the copper member is provided on the bottom surface of the rainwater so that the copper member always contacts the rainwater.

JP 2000-154589 A

  However, the rainwater trough described in Patent Document 1 has the following problems. That is, in the above-described rainwater, when mud accumulates at the bottom, the copper member is buried in the mud and there is a problem that the original antibacterial action cannot be exhibited. On the other hand, if the mud accumulated in the bottom is to be removed, the mud accumulated in the bottom must be scraped out to the outside once removed from the inner side wall of the rainwater so as not to damage the copper member. Therefore, the work of discharging the accumulated mud to the outside is troublesome.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and the object of the present invention is rainwater that does not easily generate mosquitoes even without using an insecticide, and suppresses the generation of mosquitoes even when mud accumulates. It is an object of the present invention to provide rainwater that is less likely to deteriorate in function and that can easily discharge accumulated mud to the outside.

  The bucket for rainwater according to the present invention is a bucket that is detachably attached to the rainwater, and has a substantially bottomed cylindrical bucket body with an opening formed on the upper side, and the bucket so as to straddle the opening. A handle attached to the main body, a locking part hooked to an edge of the opening of the bucket main body, and a main body part extending from the locking part to the inside of the bucket main body, wherein at least the main body part is A mosquito-proof member including copper and detachably attached to the bucket body by hooking the locking portion to an edge of the opening.

  According to the said bucket, since the main-body part of a mosquito-proof member contains copper, the said main-body part touches rainwater when rainwater accumulates in a bucket, and generation | occurrence | production of a bow flat is suppressed by the antibacterial action of copper. Therefore, the generation of mosquitoes can be suppressed without using an insecticide. Moreover, the said main-body part is comprised so that the inside of a bucket main body may be extended from the latching | locking part hooked on the edge of the opening of a bucket main body. Therefore, at least a part of the main body is positioned near the opening of the bucket main body. Therefore, even if mud accumulates at the bottom of the bucket, generation of mosquitoes can be suppressed. The bucket is detachable from the rainwater by the operator holding the handle and raising and lowering it. Therefore, when mud accumulates, the accumulated mud can be discharged to the outside by removing the entire bucket from rainwater without removing the mosquito-proof member from the bucket body. Therefore, it is easy to discharge the accumulated mud to the outside.

  The lower end of the main body may be spaced upward from the bottom surface of the bucket main body.

  This makes it difficult for the main body to be hidden in the mud even when mud accumulates at the bottom of the bucket. Therefore, when mud accumulates at the bottom of the bucket, it is possible to prevent the main body from being unable to fully exhibit the mosquito-proofing effect.

  The main body may be formed in a cylindrical shape along the inner peripheral surface of the bucket main body.

  By this, the surface area of a main-body part can be ensured large, and a mosquito-proof effect can be improved.

  The rainwater basin according to the present invention is an inflow side to which the bucket, a substantially bottomed cylindrical body main body to which the bucket is detachably attached, and an inflow pipe that is formed in the main body and into which rainwater flows are connected. A connection port and an outflow side connection port that is formed in the main body and is connected to an outflow pipe through which rainwater flows out.

  This makes it possible to suppress the generation of mosquitoes without using an insecticide, and the function of suppressing the generation of mosquitoes is difficult to decrease even if mud accumulates. You can get easy rainwater.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the generation of mosquitoes can be suppressed without using an insecticide, and the function of suppressing the generation of mosquitoes is unlikely to deteriorate even when mud accumulates. It is possible to provide rainwater that is easy to discharge to the outside.
