Description

  The present invention relates to a rainwater storage type paving block. More specifically, the present invention relates to a rainwater storage pavement block that stores rainwater inside the block.

In general, a block for paving is filled with joint sand between adjacent blocks to increase the friction between the block and joint sand, and load distribution performance at the joint (loads such as wheels acting on the block surface) By dispersing the blocks in a wide range by engaging each other, and improving the performance to reduce the load acting on the roadbed), the unevenness and backlash of the paving blocks are suppressed.
On the other hand, the rainwater storage pavement block is formed of a material having water retention, and in some cases, a cavity for storing rainwater is further formed inside the block. The rainwater storage pavement block has a larger amount of rainwater storage than a general water-permeable pavement block, so that it is possible to mitigate flooding and water accumulation on the pavement surface due to heavy rain and river flooding.

In general, rainwater storage type paving blocks allow rainwater to penetrate into the voids in the porous block and store the rainwater inside the block, then drain it into the ground, and drain the rainwater to the joint between adjacent blocks. The rainwater is stored inside the block or discharged directly into the ground.
Therefore, in the case of a rainwater storage type pavement block, there is a problem that the penetration efficiency of rainwater decreases when the joint portion is filled with joint sand. In addition, when dust or dirt accumulates in the joint sand, there is a problem that the penetration of rainwater is hindered by clogging.

In this regard, there has been proposed a technique that prevents a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater due to clogging of joints by using no joint sand (for example, Patent Document 1).
However, since joint sand is not used, there is a problem that load distribution performance in the joint portion is extremely low, the rainwater storage type pavement block is likely to be uneven or loose, and the block is easily damaged.

JP 2002-266304 A

  In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a rainwater storage pavement block that can prevent a decrease in rainwater infiltration efficiency and suppress unevenness and backlash.

The rainwater storage pavement block of the first invention comprises a front surface, a bottom surface, a pair of fitting side surfaces disposed at opposing positions, and a pair of non-fitting side surfaces disposed at other opposing positions, It is a block formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped, and a convex portion extending in the horizontal direction is formed on one of the fitting side surfaces, and the convex portion is fitted on the other fitting side surface. A horizontal joint holding protrusion that extends in the horizontal direction is formed in the vicinity of the edge with the surface on the pair of non-fitting side surfaces, and a pair of vertical grooves that extend in the vertical direction. The joint holding ridges are formed at a predetermined distance from the edges of the pair of fitting side surfaces, and the pair of vertical joint holding ridges has a protruding height of the horizontal joint holding ridges. Of the non-fitting side surface in the laying state. The region surrounded by the joint holding ridge and the pair of vertical joint holding ridges is a joint sand non-filled region that is not filled with joint sand, and the region other than the joint sand non-filled region is the joint sand in the laid state. It is characterized by being a joint sand filling region to be filled.
The rainwater storage pavement block according to a second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the first aspect, the horizontal joint holding ridge is formed along an edge with the surface.
The rainwater storage pavement block according to a third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the first aspect, the horizontal joint retaining protrusion is formed at a predetermined interval from an edge with the surface.
The rainwater storage type pavement block according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the third aspect of the invention, the horizontal joint holding ridge is formed on its upper surface with an inclination that goes down toward the peak of the ridge.
The rainwater storage pavement block according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the rainwater storage pavement block according to the third aspect, characterized in that the horizontal joint holding ridge is formed on its upper surface with an inclination that descends from the center toward both ends.
The rainwater storage type pavement block according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the first, second, third, fourth or fifth aspect, wherein the surface is perpendicular to the non-fitting side surface, A large number of lateral grooves having ends at the edges of the groove are formed.
The rainwater storage pavement block according to a seventh aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the sixth aspect of the invention, a large number of vertical grooves communicating with the end portions of the horizontal grooves are formed on the non-fitting side surface.
The rainwater storage pavement block according to an eighth aspect of the present invention is the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth or seventh aspect, wherein the hollow portion having an opening in the joint sand non-filling region is inside the block. It is characterized by being formed.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the vertical joint holding ridge is formed so that its protruding height is higher than the protruding height of the horizontal joint holding ridge. A gap can be secured between the block and the pavement block, and rainwater can flow through the gap and be discharged into the ground through the joint sand unfilled region. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater. Also, in the laying state, the rainwater storage type paving blocks arranged with the fitting side surfaces facing each other, one convex portion is fitted into the other concave groove, and the load distribution performance in the joint portion is enhanced, The rainwater storage type pavement blocks arranged with the non-fitting side surfaces facing each other can enhance the load distribution performance in the joint portion by the joint sand filled in the joint sand filling region. For this reason, unevenness and backlash of the rainwater storage type paving block can be suppressed.
According to the second aspect of the invention, since the horizontal joint holding ridge is formed along the edge with the surface, the joint sand is filled in the gap between the horizontal joint holding ridge and the adjacent rainwater storage pavement block. In other words, dust and dust do not collect on the joints where the non-fitting side faces. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater.
According to the third invention, since the horizontal joint holding ridge is formed at a predetermined interval from the edge with the surface, the amount of joint sand filled above the horizontal joint holding ridge is reduced. For this reason, it is possible to prevent clogging of the joints due to dust and dust entering the gaps between the joint sands. Further, even when the joint is clogged, dust and dust can be easily removed naturally or by washing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater.
According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, since the horizontal joint holding ridge is formed with an inclination on the upper surface from the center toward both ends, dust and dust fall downward due to the inclination, and above the horizontal joint holding ridge. Garbage and dust are less likely to accumulate in the joint sand filled in. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater.
According to the sixth aspect of the invention, since a large number of lateral grooves having ends at the edges of the non-fitting side surface are formed on the surface, rainwater that has fallen on the surface is guided to the non-fitting side surface by the horizontal groove, and is not fitted. Rainwater can be drained into the joints facing the opposite sides and discharged into the ground. Therefore, the penetration efficiency of rainwater can be increased. In addition, the unevenness formed by the lateral grooves serves as a non-slip, so that walking and running safety can be ensured even in rainy weather.
According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, since a large number of vertical grooves communicating with the ends of the horizontal grooves formed on the surface are formed on the non-fitting side surface, the rainwater guided to the non-fitting side surface by the horizontal grooves This makes it easier for the non-fitting side surfaces to be guided into the opposing joint. Therefore, the penetration efficiency of rainwater can be increased.
According to the eighth invention, since the cavity is formed inside the block, rainwater is temporarily stored in the cavity and then discharged into the ground, thereby mitigating flooding of the pavement surface due to concentrated heavy rain or river flooding. it can. Moreover, since the cavity has an opening in the joint sand non-filling region, it is possible to prevent the joint sand from entering the cavity during laying. Therefore, the water storage performance of the cavity can be ensured.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
(First embodiment)
First, the shape of the rainwater storage pavement block A according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, the rainwater storage type paving block A includes a surface 1 that becomes a paved surface in a laid state, a bottom surface 2, and four side surfaces 3, 4, 5 between the surface 1 and the bottom surface 2. , 6 are blocks formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped.
Hereinafter, for explanation, a pair of side surfaces arranged at opposing positions among the side faces 3, 4, 5, and 6 are referred to as fitting side faces 3 and 4, and a pair of side faces arranged at other opposing positions is referred to as a pair of side faces. These are referred to as non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6. In the present specification, horizontal and vertical refer to horizontal and vertical in a state where the rainwater storage type paving block A is placed on the horizontal surface of the bottom surface 2.

On one fitting side surface 3 of the pair of fitting side surfaces 3 and 4, convex portions 11 and 11 extending in the horizontal direction are formed over the entire length in the horizontal direction (see FIG. 2). On the mating side surface 4, recessed grooves 12, 12 extending in the horizontal direction are formed over the entire length in the horizontal direction (see FIG. 3). The convex portion 11 and the concave groove 12 are formed by the convex portion 11 formed on the fitting side surface 3 of one of the rainwater storage pavement blocks A and A adjacent to each other in the laying state. The other rainwater storage type pavement block A is fitted in the concave groove 12 formed in the fitting side surface 4.
In the present embodiment, the convex portions 11 and 11 and the concave grooves 12 and 12 are formed two by two, but only one may be formed, or three or more may be formed.

  As shown in FIG. 1, one non-fitting side surface 5 of the pair of non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 includes a horizontal joint holding protrusion 21 extending in the horizontal direction and a pair of vertical joint holding protrusions extending in the vertical direction. Articles 22 and 22 are formed. The horizontal joint retaining ridge 21 is formed over the entire length in the horizontal direction along the edge where the non-fitting side surface 5 and the surface 1 are in contact with each other. Therefore, the upper surface of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 is integrated with the surface 1. On the other hand, the vertical joint holding ridges 22 and 22 are formed at a predetermined interval inward from the edge where the non-fitting side surface 5 and the fitting side surfaces 3 and 4 are in contact. Further, the vertical joint holding ridges 22, 22 are formed from directly below the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 to the bottom surface 2.

As shown in FIG. 6, the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 has a substantially trapezoidal cross section, and the vertical joint holding ridge 22 has a substantially triangular cross section. Further, the vertical joint holding ridge 22 is formed so that its protruding height is higher than the protruding height of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21. The protruding height of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 and the vertical joint holding ridge 22 is arbitrarily set. For example, the protruding height of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 is about 2 mm, and the protruding height of the vertical joint holding ridge 22 is The length is set to about 4 mm. In this case, the difference in protrusion height h is about 2 mm.
The effect obtained by forming the vertical joint holding ridges 22 higher than the horizontal joint holding ridges 21 will be described in detail later.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the other non-fitting side surface 6 is flat without the horizontal joint holding ridges 21 and the vertical joint holding ridges 22 formed thereon.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the surface 1 is formed with a large number of lateral grooves 31 that are orthogonal to the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6, and the surface 1 is uneven by the numerous lateral grooves 31. Further, the lateral groove 31 is formed over the entire surface 1 so that both ends thereof reach the edge where the surface 1 and the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 are in contact with each other.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the rainwater storage type pavement block A has cavities 40, 40 formed therein. The hollow portions 40 and 40 are formed so as to penetrate the pair of non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6, and have openings on the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6. Here, the opening on the non-fitting side surface 5 side is located in a region surrounded by the horizontal joint holding ridges 21 and the vertical joint holding ridges 22 and 22.

Next, a method for laying the rainwater storage pavement block A will be described.
The rainwater storage type pavement block A is laid on, for example, a pedestrian road such as a sidewalk or a park, a pavement location where a management vehicle enters, or a sidewalk or parking lot where a vehicle of a size of a regular vehicle enters.
As shown in FIG. 7, first, a filter layer F is formed by laying sand or non-woven fabric on the laying surface, and crushed stone is laid on the filter layer F to form a crushed roadbed R. On the crushed stone roadbed R, A water permeable sheet W is laid, and a sand cushion layer C is further formed thereon.
Next, a plurality of rainwater storage pavement blocks A are arranged on the sand cushion layer C in a staggered manner. At this time, the non-fitting side surface 5 of a certain rainwater storage type pavement block A is arranged so as to face the non-fitting side surface 6 of another one rainwater storage type pavement block A to form a row. . In addition, the rows are arranged such that the fitting side surface 3 of a certain rainwater storage pavement block A faces the fitting side surfaces 4 of two adjacent rainwater storage pavement blocks A.

Next, joint sand is filled in joints between adjacent rainwater storage type paving blocks A, A.
As described above, the rainwater storage type paving block A is laid by the same method as the ordinary interlocking block construction, so that no special machine or special worker is required, and the construction is easy and the construction period is short.

  As shown to Fig.8 (a), in the laying state, the convex-shaped part 11 formed in the fitting side surface 3 of one rainwater storage type pavement block A among the adjacent rainwater storage type pavement blocks A and A is shown. However, it fits into the concave groove 12 formed in the fitting side surface 4 of the other rainwater storage pavement block A, and the load distribution performance in the joint portion is enhanced. Further, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), the joint portions facing the fitting side surfaces 3 and 4 are filled with joint sand S above the convex portions 11 and the concave grooves 12, and the fitting side surface 3 4 and the joint sand S are increased, and the load dispersion performance in the joint portion is enhanced. Therefore, it is possible to suppress unevenness and backlash of the rainwater storage type paving block A.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 9, the joint sand S is filled also into the joint part which the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 oppose.
Here, as described above, since the vertical joint holding ridges 22 are formed higher than the horizontal joint holding ridges 21, the rainwater storage type pavement block A adjacent to the horizontal joint holding ridges 21 in the laying state. A gap o is secured between the non-fitting side face 6 and the difference in protrusion height h (see FIG. 10).

When the rainwater storage type paving block A is laid, the joint sand S is filled from the gap o, so that the region surrounded by the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 and the pair of vertical joint holding ridges 22 and 22 is provided. The joint sand S is filled only in the lower part thereof, and the joint sand S is filled in the entire region outside the pair of vertical joint holding protrusions 22 and 22. Hereinafter, a region surrounded by the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 and the pair of vertical joint holding ridges 22 and 22 is referred to as a joint sand non-filling region, and the other region is referred to as a joint sand filling region.
The joint sand unfilled region described in the claims is a concept that basically includes the joint sand S that is not filled with the joint sand S but partially filled with the joint sand S.

  Here, since the cavity part 40 has an opening in the joint sand non-filling area | region where the joint sand S is not filled, it can prevent the joint sand S entering the cavity part 40 at the time of laying. Therefore, the water storage performance of the cavity 40 can be ensured.

  As described above, the rainwater storage pavement blocks A and A arranged with the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 facing each other are also filled with the joint sand S filled in the joint sand filling region and the joint sand non-filling region. The load distribution performance at the joint can be improved. Therefore, it is possible to suppress unevenness and backlash of the rainwater storage type paving block A.

As shown in FIG. 11, when rain falls on the rainwater storage pavement block A laid as described above, the rainwater is guided to the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 by the lateral grooves 31 formed on the surface 1. Rainwater can be poured to the joint where the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 face each other.
Here, it is preferable to provide the lateral groove 31 with a slope that is lowered toward both or one of the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6, since rainwater can be flowed smoothly.

Then, as shown in FIG. 10, rain water can flow downward from the gap o secured at the joint where the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 face each other, and can be discharged into the ground through the joint sand unfilled region.
Here, since the joint o is not filled in the gap o, dust and dust do not collect on the joint where the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 face each other. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, you may form many vertical grooves 32 connected to the edge part of the horizontal groove 31 in the non-fitting side surface 6 in which the horizontal joint holding protrusion 21 is not formed. In addition, a large number of vertical grooves 32 communicating with the ends of the horizontal grooves 31 may be formed in the horizontal joint holding ridges 21. In addition, a large number of vertical grooves 32 communicating with the end portions of the lateral grooves 31 may be formed on both the non-fitting side surface 6 and the horizontal joint holding protrusion 21.
The rainwater guided to the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 by the horizontal groove 31 is easily guided to the inside of the joint where the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 are opposed by the vertical groove 32. Therefore, the penetration efficiency of rainwater can be increased.

  The rainwater storage type paving block A is formed of a material having water permeability such as porous concrete. Therefore, in addition to being discharged from the joints, the rainwater penetrates through the gaps in the concrete and is discharged into the ground.

  When the amount of rainwater is large, rainwater is stored in the cavity 40 through joints where the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 face each other or through a concrete gap. And after rainwater is temporarily stored in the cavity 40, it is discharged into the ground. In this way, by storing rainwater in the cavity 40, it is possible to mitigate flooding and water pools on the pavement surface due to concentrated heavy rain or river flooding.

Further, if the rainwater storage pavement block A is formed of a material having high water retention, the rainwater stored in the cavity 40 can be gradually evaporated, and the temperature of the pavement surface can be lowered by the heat of vaporization. As a material having high water retention, pumice having fine voids and high water absorption is used. Or the concrete etc. which mix | blended so that the space | interval of the material may become small using the material of a single particle size so that rainwater may accumulate in the inside of the rainwater storage type pavement block A are used.
Furthermore, if the water retaining material is embedded in the cavity portion 40, the water stored in the cavity portion 40 can be retained for a long time, so that the temperature reduction effect of the pavement surface can be maintained for a long time.

In addition, the surface 1 is formed with unevenness by the lateral grooves 31, and the unevenness becomes non-slip, so that the safety of walking and running can be ensured even in rainy weather.
Here, it is preferable to make the width dimension of the lateral groove 31 the same as the width dimension of the joint where the fitting side surfaces 3 and 4 face each other, because uncomfortable vibrations are less likely to occur at the joint part during traveling of a wheelchair or the like.

In the laying of the rainwater storage pavement block A, if there is a gradient in the direction of the row formed by arranging the rainwater storage pavement block A so that the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 face each other, the gradient It is preferable to install a detachable maintenance block at the lower end of the.
By laying in this way, it is possible to remove dust and dirt accumulated inside the cavity 40, and the rainwater storage function can be maintained for a long period of time by performing regular maintenance.

Further, the cavity 40 is formed so as to have an opening on either one of the non-fitting side surfaces 5, 6 in addition to being formed so as to have an opening on both the pair of non-fitting side surfaces 5, 6. May be.
For example, when the gradient in the row direction of the rainwater storage pavement block A is steep, if the cavity 40 is a through hole, the rainwater discharged into the cavity 40 is stored in the rainwater storage at the lower end of the gradient. Collect in the cavity 40 of the block A for mold paving. However, if any one of the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 is closed, rainwater can be stored in each of the rainwater storage pavement blocks A, and the storage efficiency is improved.

(Second Embodiment)
As shown in FIG. 13, the rainwater storage pavement block B according to the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as the rainwater storage pavement block A according to the first embodiment. The shape and arrangement of the protrusions 22 and 22 are different.
Specifically, the horizontal joint holding ridges 21 are formed in the horizontal direction at a predetermined interval downward from the edge where the non-fitting side surface 5 and the surface 1 are in contact. Both ends of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 do not extend to the edge where the non-fitting side surface 5 and the fitting side surfaces 3 and 4 are in contact with each other, but are located at a predetermined distance from the edge. Further, the vertical joint holding ridges 22 and 22 are formed in the vertical direction with a predetermined interval inward from the edge where the non-fitting side surface 5 and the fitting side surfaces 3 and 4 are in contact. The vertical joint holding ridges 22 and 22 are formed from both ends of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 to the bottom surface 2.
In addition, although the distance from the edge where the non-fitting side surface 5 and the surface 1 contact | abut of the horizontal joint holding | maintenance protrusion 21 is set arbitrarily, it is about 5 mm, for example.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the cross section of the horizontal joint holding protrusion 21 is rectangular. Further, the vertical joint holding ridge 22 is formed so that its protruding height is higher than the protruding height of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21. The projection heights of the horizontal joint holding ridges 21 and the vertical joint holding ridges 22 are arbitrarily set. For example, the projection height of the horizontal joint holding ridges 21 is about 3 mm, and the projection height of the vertical joint holding ridges 22 is The length is set to about 4 mm. In this case, the difference in protrusion height is about 1 mm.

Since the vertical joint holding ridges 22 are formed higher than the horizontal joint holding ridges 21, the non-fitting side surface 6 of the rainwater storage pavement block A adjacent to the horizontal joint holding ridges 21 in the laying state. A gap o is ensured between the two and the projection height.
Since the remaining structure is the same as that of the rainwater storage pavement block A, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same members and the description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the laying state, the joint sand S is filled in the joint portion where the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 face each other. At this time, the joint sand unfilled region surrounded by the horizontal joint holding protrusion 21 and the pair of vertical joint holding protrusions 22 and 22 is not filled with the joint sand S, and the horizontal joint holding protrusion 21 and the vertical joint holding are held. The joint sand S is filled in the joint sand filling region outside the protrusions 22 and 22. That is, in this embodiment, the joint sand S is also filled above the horizontal joint holding ridges 21.

  Here, as the joint sand S to be filled, by adopting one having a particle size larger than the gap o and smaller than the joint width, preferably smaller than 1/3 of the joint width, only the joint sand filling region as described above is adopted. The joint sand S can be filled. For example, when the gap o is 1 mm and the joint width is 4 mm, joint sand S having a particle size of 1 mm to 1.3 mm is employed.

Further, both ends of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 are located at a predetermined distance from an edge where the non-fitting side surface 5 and the fitting side surfaces 3 and 4 are in contact with each other. Therefore, the joint sand S falls from the gap and can be filled outside the vertical joint holding ridges 22 and 22.
And since the vertical joint holding | maintenance protrusion 22 and 22 are formed to the bottom face 2, the approach of the joint sand S to the joint sand non-filling area | region can be suppressed.

  Moreover, since the cavity part 40 has an opening in the joint sand non-filling area | region where the joint sand S is not filled, it can prevent the joint sand S entering the cavity part 40 at the time of laying. Therefore, the water storage performance of the cavity 40 can be ensured.

  As described above, the rainwater storage pavement blocks B and B arranged with the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 facing each other also have load distribution performance in the joint portion by the joint sand S filled in the joint sand filling region. Enhanced. Therefore, it is possible to suppress unevenness and backlash of the rainwater storage pavement block B.

  Then, when it rains on the laid rainwater storage pavement block B, the rainwater flows downward from the gap o secured in the joint where the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 face each other and passes through the joint sand unfilled region. Can be discharged inside.

  Since the amount of joint sand S filled above the horizontal joint holding protrusions 21 is small, it is possible to prevent dirt and dust from entering the joint sand S and clogging the joints. Even if the joints are clogged, a small amount of dust and dirt is washed away naturally. Moreover, dust and dust can be easily removed by high-pressure washing or the like. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 16, it is good also considering the cross section of the horizontal joint holding | maintenance protrusion 21 as a substantially triangle. By making the cross-section of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 into a substantially triangular shape, an inclination is formed on the upper surface of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 so as to drop toward the peak of the ridge.
By setting it as such a shape, the dust and the dust which entered into the clearance gap between the joint sand S become easy to fall downward from the clearance o by the inclination of the upper surface of the horizontal joint holding protrusion 21. Therefore, it is difficult for dust and dirt to accumulate in the joint sand S filled above the horizontal joint holding protrusions 21. Further, even when the joint is clogged, dust and dust can be easily removed naturally or by washing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 17, you may form the inclination which falls toward both ends from the center on the upper surface of the horizontal joint holding | maintenance protrusion 21. As shown in FIG.
By setting it as such a shape, the dust and dust which entered into the clearance of joint sand S become easy to fall down from the both ends by the inclination of the upper surface of the horizontal joint holding protrusion 21. Therefore, it is difficult for dust and dirt to accumulate in the joint sand S filled above the horizontal joint holding protrusions 21. Further, even when the joint is clogged, dust and dust can be easily removed naturally or by washing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 18, you may form the lower protrusion 23 extended in a horizontal direction between the vertical joint holding protrusions 22 and 22 below the non-fitting side surface 5. As shown in FIG.
By providing the lower protrusions 23, even when a large amount of rainwater permeates into the rainwater storage pavement block B, the sand of the sand cushion layer C laid on the laying surface is not filled in the joint sand unfilled region or the cavity 40. You can prevent it from rising.

(Other embodiments)
In the above-described embodiment, the cavity portions 40 are provided inside the block. However, an embodiment in which the cavity portion 40 is not provided may be employed. Even in this case, rainwater storage performance can be obtained by forming the rainwater storage pavement block with a material having water retention.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the horizontal joint holding | maintenance protrusion 21 and a pair of vertical joint holding | maintenance protrusion 22 and 22 are formed in one non-fitting side surface 5, some of these are made into the other non-fitting.

  The present invention relates to a rainwater storage type paving block. More specifically, the present invention relates to a rainwater storage pavement block that stores rainwater inside the block.

In general, a block for paving is filled with joint sand between adjacent blocks to increase the friction between the block and joint sand, and load distribution performance at the joint (loads such as wheels acting on the block surface) By dispersing the blocks in a wide range by engaging each other, and improving the performance to reduce the load acting on the roadbed), the unevenness and backlash of the paving blocks are suppressed.
On the other hand, the rainwater storage pavement block is formed of a material having water retention, and in some cases, a cavity for storing rainwater is further formed inside the block. The rainwater storage pavement block has a larger amount of rainwater storage than a general water-permeable pavement block, so that it is possible to mitigate flooding and water accumulation on the pavement surface due to heavy rain and river flooding.

In general, rainwater storage type paving blocks allow rainwater to penetrate into the voids in the porous block and store the rainwater inside the block, then drain it into the ground, and drain the rainwater to the joint between adjacent blocks. The rainwater is stored inside the block or discharged directly into the ground.
Therefore, in the case of a rainwater storage type pavement block, there is a problem that the penetration efficiency of rainwater decreases when the joint portion is filled with joint sand. In addition, when dust or dirt accumulates in the joint sand, there is a problem that the penetration of rainwater is hindered by clogging.

In this regard, there has been proposed a technique that prevents a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater due to clogging of joints by using no joint sand (for example, Patent Document 1).
However, since joint sand is not used, there is a problem that load distribution performance in the joint portion is extremely low, the rainwater storage type pavement block is likely to be uneven or loose, and the block is easily damaged.

JP 2002-266304 A

  In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a rainwater storage pavement block that can prevent a decrease in rainwater infiltration efficiency and suppress unevenness and backlash.

The rainwater storage pavement block of the first invention comprises a front surface, a bottom surface, a pair of fitting side surfaces disposed at opposing positions, and a pair of non-fitting side surfaces disposed at other opposing positions, It is a block formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped, and a convex portion extending in the horizontal direction is formed on one of the fitting side surfaces, and the convex portion is fitted on the other fitting side surface. A horizontal joint holding protrusion that extends in the horizontal direction is formed in the vicinity of the edge with the surface on the pair of non-fitting side surfaces, and a pair of vertical grooves that extend in the vertical direction. The joint holding ridges are formed at a predetermined distance from the edges of the pair of fitting side surfaces, and the pair of vertical joint holding ridges has a protruding height of the horizontal joint holding ridges. It characterized the Iruko formed higher in than to be.
The rainwater storage pavement block according to a second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the first aspect, the horizontal joint holding ridge is formed along an edge with the surface.
The rainwater storage pavement block according to a third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the first aspect, the horizontal joint retaining protrusion is formed at a predetermined interval from an edge with the surface.
The rainwater storage type pavement block according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the third aspect of the invention, the horizontal joint holding ridge is formed on its upper surface with an inclination that goes down toward the peak of the ridge.
The rainwater storage pavement block according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the rainwater storage pavement block according to the third aspect, characterized in that the horizontal joint holding ridge is formed on its upper surface with an inclination that descends from the center toward both ends.
The rainwater storage type pavement block according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the first, second, third, fourth or fifth aspect, wherein the surface is perpendicular to the non-fitting side surface, A large number of lateral grooves having ends at the edges of the groove are formed.
The rainwater storage pavement block according to a seventh aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the sixth aspect of the invention, a large number of vertical grooves communicating with the end portions of the horizontal grooves are formed on the non-fitting side surface.
The rainwater storage pavement block according to an eighth aspect of the present invention is the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth or seventh aspect, wherein the hollow portion having an opening in the joint sand non-filling region is inside the block. It is characterized by being formed.

According to the first invention, since the horizontal joint holding ridge and the pair of vertical joint holding ridges are formed on the non-fitting side surface, the joint sand is filled in the joint part facing the non-fitting side surface in the laying state. The area surrounded by the horizontal joint holding ridge and the pair of vertical joint holding ridges is a joint sand non-filled area that is not filled with joint sand, and areas other than the joint sand non-filled area are filled with joint sand. It becomes the joint sand filling region. In addition, since the vertical joint holding ridge is formed with a protruding height higher than that of the horizontal joint holding ridge, the rainwater storage pavement block adjacent to the horizontal joint holding ridge in the laying state A gap can be secured between them, and rainwater can flow through the gap and be discharged into the ground through the joint sand unfilled region. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater. Also, in the laying state, the rainwater storage type paving blocks arranged with the fitting side surfaces facing each other, one convex portion is fitted into the other concave groove, and the load distribution performance in the joint portion is enhanced, The rainwater storage type pavement blocks arranged with the non-fitting side surfaces facing each other can enhance the load distribution performance in the joint portion by the joint sand filled in the joint sand filling region. For this reason, unevenness and backlash of the rainwater storage type paving block can be suppressed.
According to the second aspect of the invention, since the horizontal joint holding ridge is formed along the edge with the surface, the joint sand is filled in the gap between the horizontal joint holding ridge and the adjacent rainwater storage pavement block. In other words, dust and dust do not collect on the joints where the non-fitting side faces. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater.
According to the third invention, since the horizontal joint holding ridge is formed at a predetermined interval from the edge with the surface, the amount of joint sand filled above the horizontal joint holding ridge is reduced. For this reason, it is possible to prevent clogging of the joints due to dust and dust entering the gaps between the joint sands. Further, even when the joint is clogged, dust and dust can be easily removed naturally or by washing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater.
According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the horizontal joint holding ridge is formed with an inclination on the upper surface thereof toward the peak of the ridge, dust and dust fall downward due to the inclination, and the horizontal joint holding ridge Dust and dust are unlikely to collect in the joint sand filled upward. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater.
According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, since the horizontal joint holding ridge is formed with an inclination on the upper surface from the center toward both ends, dust and dust fall downward due to the inclination, and above the horizontal joint holding ridge. Garbage and dust are less likely to accumulate in the joint sand filled in. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater.
According to the sixth aspect of the invention, since a large number of lateral grooves having ends at the edges of the non-fitting side surface are formed on the surface, rainwater that has fallen on the surface is guided to the non-fitting side surface by the horizontal groove, and is not fitted. Rainwater can be drained into the joints facing the opposite sides and discharged into the ground. Therefore, the penetration efficiency of rainwater can be increased. In addition, the unevenness formed by the lateral grooves serves as a non-slip, so that walking and running safety can be ensured even in rainy weather.
According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, since a large number of vertical grooves communicating with the ends of the horizontal grooves formed on the surface are formed on the non-fitting side surface, the rainwater guided to the non-fitting side surface by the horizontal grooves This makes it easier for the non-fitting side surfaces to be guided into the opposing joint. Therefore, the penetration efficiency of rainwater can be increased.
According to the eighth invention, since the cavity is formed inside the block, rainwater is temporarily stored in the cavity and then discharged into the ground, thereby mitigating flooding of the pavement surface due to concentrated heavy rain or river flooding. it can. Moreover, since the cavity has an opening in the joint sand non-filling region, it is possible to prevent the joint sand from entering the cavity during laying. Therefore, the water storage performance of the cavity can be ensured.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
(First embodiment)
First, the shape of the rainwater storage pavement block A according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, the rainwater storage type paving block A includes a surface 1 that becomes a paved surface in a laid state, a bottom surface 2, and four side surfaces 3, 4, 5 between the surface 1 and the bottom surface 2. , 6 are blocks formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped.
Hereinafter, for explanation, a pair of side surfaces arranged at opposing positions among the side faces 3, 4, 5, and 6 are referred to as fitting side faces 3 and 4, and a pair of side faces arranged at other opposing positions is referred to as a pair of side faces. These are referred to as non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6. In the present specification, horizontal and vertical refer to horizontal and vertical in a state where the rainwater storage type paving block A is placed on the horizontal surface of the bottom surface 2.

On one fitting side surface 3 of the pair of fitting side surfaces 3 and 4, convex portions 11 and 11 extending in the horizontal direction are formed over the entire length in the horizontal direction (see FIG. 2). On the mating side surface 4, recessed grooves 12, 12 extending in the horizontal direction are formed over the entire length in the horizontal direction (see FIG. 3). The convex portion 11 and the concave groove 12 are formed by the convex portion 11 formed on the fitting side surface 3 of one of the rainwater storage pavement blocks A and A adjacent to each other in the laying state. The other rainwater storage type pavement block A is fitted in the concave groove 12 formed in the fitting side surface 4.
In the present embodiment, the convex portions 11 and 11 and the concave grooves 12 and 12 are formed two by two, but only one may be formed, or three or more may be formed.

  As shown in FIG. 1, one non-fitting side surface 5 of the pair of non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 includes a horizontal joint holding protrusion 21 extending in the horizontal direction and a pair of vertical joint holding protrusions extending in the vertical direction. Articles 22 and 22 are formed. The horizontal joint retaining ridge 21 is formed over the entire length in the horizontal direction along the edge where the non-fitting side surface 5 and the surface 1 are in contact with each other. Therefore, the upper surface of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 is integrated with the surface 1. On the other hand, the vertical joint holding ridges 22 and 22 are formed at a predetermined interval inward from the edge where the non-fitting side surface 5 and the fitting side surfaces 3 and 4 are in contact. Further, the vertical joint holding ridges 22, 22 are formed from directly below the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 to the bottom surface 2.

As shown in FIG. 6, the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 has a substantially trapezoidal cross section, and the vertical joint holding ridge 22 has a substantially triangular cross section. Further, the vertical joint holding ridge 22 is formed so that its protruding height is higher than the protruding height of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21. The protruding height of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 and the vertical joint holding ridge 22 is arbitrarily set. For example, the protruding height of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 is about 2 mm, and the protruding height of the vertical joint holding ridge 22 is The length is set to about 4 mm. In this case, the difference in protrusion height h is about 2 mm.
The effect obtained by forming the vertical joint holding ridges 22 higher than the horizontal joint holding ridges 21 will be described in detail later.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the other non-fitting side surface 6 is flat without the horizontal joint holding ridges 21 and the vertical joint holding ridges 22 formed thereon.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the surface 1 is formed with a large number of lateral grooves 31 that are orthogonal to the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6, and the surface 1 is uneven by the numerous lateral grooves 31. Further, the lateral groove 31 is formed over the entire surface 1 so that both ends thereof reach the edge where the surface 1 and the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 are in contact with each other.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the rainwater storage type pavement block A has cavities 40, 40 formed therein. The hollow portions 40 and 40 are formed so as to penetrate the pair of non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6, and have openings on the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6. Here, the opening on the non-fitting side surface 5 side is located in a region surrounded by the horizontal joint holding ridges 21 and the vertical joint holding ridges 22 and 22.

Next, a method for laying the rainwater storage pavement block A will be described.
The rainwater storage type pavement block A is laid on, for example, a pedestrian road such as a sidewalk or a park, a pavement location where a management vehicle enters, or a sidewalk or parking lot where a vehicle of a size of a regular vehicle enters.
As shown in FIG. 7, first, a filter layer F is formed by laying sand or non-woven fabric on the laying surface, and crushed stone is laid on the filter layer F to form a crushed roadbed R. On the crushed stone roadbed R, A water permeable sheet W is laid, and a sand cushion layer C is further formed thereon.
Next, a plurality of rainwater storage pavement blocks A are arranged on the sand cushion layer C in a staggered manner. At this time, the non-fitting side surface 5 of a certain rainwater storage type pavement block A is arranged so as to face the non-fitting side surface 6 of another one rainwater storage type pavement block A to form a row. . In addition, the rows are arranged such that the fitting side surface 3 of a certain rainwater storage pavement block A faces the fitting side surfaces 4 of two adjacent rainwater storage pavement blocks A.

Next, joint sand is filled in joints between adjacent rainwater storage type paving blocks A, A.
As described above, the rainwater storage type paving block A is laid by the same method as the ordinary interlocking block construction, so that no special machine or special worker is required, and the construction is easy and the construction period is short.

  As shown to Fig.8 (a), in the laying state, the convex-shaped part 11 formed in the fitting side surface 3 of one rainwater storage type pavement block A among the adjacent rainwater storage type pavement blocks A and A is shown. However, it fits into the concave groove 12 formed in the fitting side surface 4 of the other rainwater storage pavement block A, and the load distribution performance in the joint portion is enhanced. Further, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), the joint portions facing the fitting side surfaces 3 and 4 are filled with joint sand S above the convex portions 11 and the concave grooves 12, and the fitting side surface 3 4 and the joint sand S are increased, and the load dispersion performance in the joint portion is enhanced. Therefore, it is possible to suppress unevenness and backlash of the rainwater storage type paving block A.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 9, the joint sand S is filled also into the joint part which the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 oppose.
Here, as described above, since the vertical joint holding ridges 22 are formed higher than the horizontal joint holding ridges 21, the rainwater storage type pavement block A adjacent to the horizontal joint holding ridges 21 in the laying state. A gap o is secured between the non-fitting side face 6 and the difference in protrusion height h (see FIG. 10).

When the rainwater storage type paving block A is laid, the joint sand S is filled from the gap o, so that the region surrounded by the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 and the pair of vertical joint holding ridges 22 and 22 is provided. The joint sand S is filled only in the lower part thereof, and the joint sand S is filled in the entire region outside the pair of vertical joint holding protrusions 22 and 22. Hereinafter, a region surrounded by the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 and the pair of vertical joint holding ridges 22 and 22 is referred to as a joint sand non-filling region, and the other region is referred to as a joint sand filling region.
The joint sand unfilled region described in the claims is a concept that basically includes the joint sand S that is not filled with the joint sand S but partially filled with the joint sand S.

  Here, since the cavity part 40 has an opening in the joint sand non-filling area | region where the joint sand S is not filled, it can prevent the joint sand S entering the cavity part 40 at the time of laying. Therefore, the water storage performance of the cavity 40 can be ensured.

  As described above, the rainwater storage pavement blocks A and A arranged with the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 facing each other are also filled with the joint sand S filled in the joint sand filling region and the joint sand non-filling region. The load distribution performance at the joint can be improved. Therefore, it is possible to suppress unevenness and backlash of the rainwater storage type paving block A.

As shown in FIG. 11, when rain falls on the rainwater storage pavement block A laid as described above, the rainwater is guided to the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 by the lateral grooves 31 formed on the surface 1. Rainwater can be poured to the joint where the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 face each other.
Here, it is preferable to provide the lateral groove 31 with a slope that is lowered toward both or one of the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6, since rainwater can be flowed smoothly.

Then, as shown in FIG. 10, rain water can flow downward from the gap o secured at the joint where the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 face each other, and can be discharged into the ground through the joint sand unfilled region.
Here, since the joint o is not filled in the gap o, dust and dust do not collect on the joint where the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 face each other. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, you may form many vertical grooves 32 connected to the edge part of the horizontal groove 31 in the non-fitting side surface 6 in which the horizontal joint holding protrusion 21 is not formed. In addition, a large number of vertical grooves 32 communicating with the ends of the horizontal grooves 31 may be formed in the horizontal joint holding ridges 21. In addition, a large number of vertical grooves 32 communicating with the end portions of the lateral grooves 31 may be formed on both the non-fitting side surface 6 and the horizontal joint holding protrusion 21.
The rainwater guided to the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 by the horizontal groove 31 is easily guided to the inside of the joint where the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 are opposed by the vertical groove 32. Therefore, the penetration efficiency of rainwater can be increased.

  The rainwater storage type paving block A is formed of a material having water permeability such as porous concrete. Therefore, in addition to being discharged from the joints, the rainwater penetrates through the gaps in the concrete and is discharged into the ground.

  When the amount of rainwater is large, rainwater is stored in the cavity 40 through joints where the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 face each other or through a concrete gap. And after rainwater is temporarily stored in the cavity 40, it is discharged into the ground. In this way, by storing rainwater in the cavity 40, it is possible to mitigate flooding and water pools on the pavement surface due to concentrated heavy rain or river flooding.

Further, if the rainwater storage pavement block A is formed of a material having high water retention, the rainwater stored in the cavity 40 can be gradually evaporated, and the temperature of the pavement surface can be lowered by the heat of vaporization. As a material having high water retention, pumice having fine voids and high water absorption is used. Or the concrete etc. which mix | blended so that the space | interval of the material may become small using the material of a single particle size so that rainwater may accumulate in the inside of the rainwater storage type pavement block A are used.
Furthermore, if the water retaining material is embedded in the cavity portion 40, the water stored in the cavity portion 40 can be retained for a long time, so that the temperature reduction effect of the pavement surface can be maintained for a long time.

In addition, the surface 1 is formed with unevenness by the lateral grooves 31, and the unevenness becomes non-slip, so that the safety of walking and running can be ensured even in rainy weather.
Here, it is preferable to make the width dimension of the lateral groove 31 the same as the width dimension of the joint where the fitting side surfaces 3 and 4 face each other, because uncomfortable vibrations are less likely to occur at the joint part during traveling of a wheelchair or the like.

In the laying of the rainwater storage pavement block A, if there is a gradient in the direction of the row formed by arranging the rainwater storage pavement block A so that the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 face each other, the gradient It is preferable to install a detachable maintenance block at the lower end of the.
By laying in this way, it is possible to remove dust and dirt accumulated inside the cavity 40, and the rainwater storage function can be maintained for a long period of time by performing regular maintenance.

Further, the cavity 40 is formed so as to have an opening on either one of the non-fitting side surfaces 5, 6 in addition to being formed so as to have an opening on both the pair of non-fitting side surfaces 5, 6. May be.
For example, when the gradient in the row direction of the rainwater storage pavement block A is steep, if the cavity 40 is a through hole, the rainwater discharged into the cavity 40 is stored in the rainwater storage at the lower end of the gradient. Collect in the cavity 40 of the block A for mold paving. However, if any one of the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 is closed, rainwater can be stored in each of the rainwater storage pavement blocks A, and the storage efficiency is improved.

(Second Embodiment)
As shown in FIG. 13, the rainwater storage pavement block B according to the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as the rainwater storage pavement block A according to the first embodiment. The shape and arrangement of the protrusions 22 and 22 are different.
Specifically, the horizontal joint holding ridges 21 are formed in the horizontal direction at a predetermined interval downward from the edge where the non-fitting side surface 5 and the surface 1 are in contact. Both ends of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 do not extend to the edge where the non-fitting side surface 5 and the fitting side surfaces 3 and 4 are in contact with each other, but are located at a predetermined distance from the edge. Further, the vertical joint holding ridges 22 and 22 are formed in the vertical direction with a predetermined interval inward from the edge where the non-fitting side surface 5 and the fitting side surfaces 3 and 4 are in contact. The vertical joint holding ridges 22 and 22 are formed from both ends of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 to the bottom surface 2.
In addition, although the distance from the edge where the non-fitting side surface 5 and the surface 1 contact | abut of the horizontal joint holding | maintenance protrusion 21 is set arbitrarily, it is about 5 mm, for example.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the cross section of the horizontal joint holding protrusion 21 is rectangular. Further, the vertical joint holding ridge 22 is formed so that its protruding height is higher than the protruding height of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21. The projection heights of the horizontal joint holding ridges 21 and the vertical joint holding ridges 22 are arbitrarily set. For example, the projection height of the horizontal joint holding ridges 21 is about 3 mm, and the projection height of the vertical joint holding ridges 22 is The length is set to about 4 mm. In this case, the difference in protrusion height is about 1 mm.

Since the vertical joint holding ridges 22 are formed higher than the horizontal joint holding ridges 21, the non-fitting side surface 6 of the rainwater storage pavement block A adjacent to the horizontal joint holding ridges 21 in the laying state. A gap o is ensured between the two and the projection height.
Since the remaining structure is the same as that of the rainwater storage pavement block A, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same members and the description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the laying state, the joint sand S is filled in the joint portion where the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 face each other. At this time, the joint sand unfilled region surrounded by the horizontal joint holding protrusion 21 and the pair of vertical joint holding protrusions 22 and 22 is not filled with the joint sand S, and the horizontal joint holding protrusion 21 and the vertical joint holding are held. The joint sand S is filled in the joint sand filling region outside the protrusions 22 and 22. That is, in this embodiment, the joint sand S is also filled above the horizontal joint holding ridges 21.

  Here, as the joint sand S to be filled, by adopting one having a particle size larger than the gap o and smaller than the joint width, preferably smaller than 1/3 of the joint width, only the joint sand filling region as described above is adopted. The joint sand S can be filled. For example, when the gap o is 1 mm and the joint width is 4 mm, joint sand S having a particle size of 1 mm to 1.3 mm is employed.

Further, both ends of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 are located at a predetermined distance from an edge where the non-fitting side surface 5 and the fitting side surfaces 3 and 4 are in contact with each other. Therefore, the joint sand S falls from the gap and can be filled outside the vertical joint holding ridges 22 and 22.
And since the vertical joint holding | maintenance protrusion 22 and 22 are formed to the bottom face 2, the approach of the joint sand S to the joint sand non-filling area | region can be suppressed.

  Moreover, since the cavity part 40 has an opening in the joint sand non-filling area | region where the joint sand S is not filled, it can prevent the joint sand S entering the cavity part 40 at the time of laying. Therefore, the water storage performance of the cavity 40 can be ensured.

  As described above, the rainwater storage pavement blocks B and B arranged with the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 facing each other also have load distribution performance in the joint portion by the joint sand S filled in the joint sand filling region. Enhanced. Therefore, it is possible to suppress unevenness and backlash of the rainwater storage pavement block B.

  Then, when it rains on the laid rainwater storage pavement block B, the rainwater flows downward from the gap o secured in the joint where the non-fitting side surfaces 5 and 6 face each other and passes through the joint sand unfilled region. Can be discharged inside.

  Since the amount of joint sand S filled above the horizontal joint holding protrusions 21 is small, it is possible to prevent dirt and dust from entering the joint sand S and clogging the joints. Even if the joints are clogged, a small amount of dust and dirt is washed away naturally. Moreover, dust and dust can be easily removed by high-pressure washing or the like. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 16, it is good also considering the cross section of the horizontal joint holding | maintenance protrusion 21 as a substantially triangle. By making the cross-section of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 into a substantially triangular shape, an inclination is formed on the upper surface of the horizontal joint holding ridge 21 so as to drop toward the peak of the ridge.
By setting it as such a shape, the dust and the dust which entered into the clearance gap between the joint sand S become easy to fall downward from the clearance o by the inclination of the upper surface of the horizontal joint holding protrusion 21. Therefore, it is difficult for dust and dirt to accumulate in the joint sand S filled above the horizontal joint holding protrusions 21. Further, even when the joint is clogged, dust and dust can be easily removed naturally or by washing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 17, you may form the inclination which falls toward both ends from the center on the upper surface of the horizontal joint holding | maintenance protrusion 21. As shown in FIG.
By setting it as such a shape, the dust and dust which entered into the clearance of joint sand S become easy to fall down from the both ends by the inclination of the upper surface of the horizontal joint holding protrusion 21. Therefore, it is difficult for dust and dirt to accumulate in the joint sand S filled above the horizontal joint holding protrusions 21. Further, even when the joint is clogged, dust and dust can be easily removed naturally or by washing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the penetration efficiency of rainwater.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 18, you may form the lower protrusion 23 extended in a horizontal direction between the vertical joint holding protrusions 22 and 22 below the non-fitting side surface 5. As shown in FIG.
By providing the lower protrusions 23, even when a large amount of rainwater permeates into the rainwater storage pavement block B, the sand of the sand cushion layer C laid on the laying surface is not filled in the joint sand unfilled region or the cavity 40. You can prevent it from rising.

(Other embodiments)
In the above-described embodiment, the cavity portions 40 are provided inside the block. However, an embodiment in which the cavity portion 40 is not provided may be employed. Even in this case, rainwater storage performance can be obtained by forming the rainwater storage pavement block with a material having water retention.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the horizontal joint holding | maintenance protrusion 21 and a pair of vertical joint holding | maintenance protrusion 22 and 22 are formed in one non-fitting side surface 5, some of these are made into the other non-fitting. You may form in the fitting side surface 6. FIG.
