Description

The present invention watertightly and airtightly packs various objects to be protected, such as electrical appliances, bedding, household goods, office equipment, agricultural machinery, machine tools, and various vehicles, when a tsunami or flood occurs. The present invention relates to a flood prevention pack and a flood prevention method for protecting against water damage such as flooding and outflow.

In the past, when the interior (above the floor) was flooded or the house collapsed due to a tsunami or flood caused by a typhoon, torrential rain, earthquake, etc., household goods submerged or flowed out to the outside. Household goods may become unusable due to soiling or damage, or may go missing. Therefore, for example, Patent Document 1 proposes a sealed reinforced bag that protects bedding, clothes, and other household goods from collapsing due to water wetting or landslides when the floor is flooded in a flood or the like. It is In addition, as a method for preventing a vehicle from being submerged in water, for example, in Patent Document 2, a car is placed in the center of a bag in which a box-shaped waterproof cloth is joined under an air bag, and the air bag is inflated with exhaust gas from the car. A water damage prevention bag for automobiles has been proposed in which the air bag rises as the surrounding water level rises to protect the automobile from water damage. Patent Document 3 discloses a bag-like foldable mat body for supporting the underfloor of an automobile and floating it, an introduction pipe for introducing gas into the mat body, and an end of the introduction pipe. A floating mat for automobiles is proposed which comprises at least an exhaust part fixture to be attached to an exhaust pipe of a muffler, and the mat body comprises at least a central mat part and side mat parts arranged and fixed on both sides thereof. It is Patent Document 4 discloses a floating bladder, a water infiltration detection unit for detecting water intrusion into a passenger compartment, a control unit for generating a control signal in accordance with a detection signal from the water ingress detection unit, and a control unit for supplying gas to the air bladder in accordance with the control signal. A water flotation device for a vehicle has been proposed which includes a gas supply for supplying water. Patent Document 5 discloses a waterproof bottom pad, a hollow side bar communicating with each other at the periphery of the waterproof bottom pad, a waterproof air filling hole provided at one end of the side bar, and a waterproof cover body provided on one side of the waterproof bottom pad.

However, the sealed reinforced bag of Patent Document 1 consists of an inner bag and an outer bag that are watertight and airtight, respectively. By creating an appropriate space between the inner bag and the outer bag and sealing the outer bag, if a collapsed object falls on the sealed reinforced bag, the air pressure between the inner bag and the outer bag will It protects the articles stored in the bag from impact. Therefore, the inner bag and the outer bag must be sealed separately, and there is a problem in that it takes time and effort to store the articles, resulting in a lack of workability. Even if the outer bag is sealed with an appropriate space between the inner bag and the outer bag, if the inner bag is not fixed, it may move or move inside the outer bag due to external impact or vibration. There is a risk that the product may fall over and become unstable, and the items inside may be damaged. In particular, when a plurality of inner bags are stored inside an outer bag, it is not possible to maintain a space, and there is a possibility that the inner bags collide with each other and damage the articles inside. On the other hand, Patent Document 1 discloses that the inner bag is fixed with an adhesive tape and a space is created with a cushioning material to prevent the article from being damaged by the inner bags hitting each other or external shocks. Although it is described, it is difficult to securely fix the inner bag with adhesive tape alone, and the specific configuration and method of how to create a space with the cushioning material is also unknown. In addition, since these operations are time-consuming, there is a problem of lack of emergency response. In addition, if air leaks to the outside when the inner bag and the outer bag are sealed, the inner air pressure cannot be maintained and the inner bag and the outer bag are crushed, and the article cannot be protected from impact. rice field. In addition, large heavy objects such as machine tools and various vehicles are not assumed as objects to be protected, and no means to prevent drifting of the sealed reinforced bag containing the objects to be protected has not been considered. There was a problem of lack of practicality.

In Patent Documents 2 and 3, although it is possible to float the vehicle on the water and prevent it from being submerged, there is a means to tie the air bag and the mat body to the surrounding fixed objects (e.g., pillars, utility poles, large trees, etc.). There is a risk that the vehicle, together with the air bladder or the mat body, will be swept away by the water and drift. In addition, when floating on water, the posture tends to become unstable, and there is a possibility that the vehicle will be overturned by strong water currents, etc., and the vehicle will be damaged, and the air bag and mat body will be damaged, causing flooding or submersion. , there is also the problem of lack of safety and reliability. In Patent Document 4, an air bladder is housed inside the vehicle so that the vehicle can be maintained in a semi-submerged state (unsinkable state), but since there is no means for anchoring the vehicle, the vehicle cannot be washed away by water. There is a risk of drifting. In addition, since there is nothing to protect the surroundings of the vehicle, there is a possibility that drifting objects or the like will collide with the vehicle and damage the vehicle, resulting in a lack of safety. In Patent Document 5, a fitting ring is attached to the corner of the waterproof bottom pad, a wire body is passed through the fitting ring, and is tied to a surrounding fixed object to prevent drifting. When the wire body is concentrated and applied, the wire body may be cut, the engagement ring may be damaged, or the connection between the engagement ring and the waterproof bottom pad may be torn, resulting in the waterproofing of the automobile. It is conceivable that the cover may drift while housing the automobile, or that the waterproof cover of the automobile may be flooded and submerged. was there.
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and protects various objects such as electrical appliances, bedding, household goods, office equipment, agricultural machinery, machine tools, and various vehicles in the event of a tsunami or flood. To provide a immersion prevention pack and a immersion prevention method excellent in practicability capable of reliably protecting against water damage such as flooding and outflow by packing in a short time. - 特許庁

Next, an embodiment embodying the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings for better understanding of the present invention.
Hereinafter, a flood prevention pack 10 and a flood prevention method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. FIG.
The flood prevention pack 10 and the flood prevention method can watertightly and airtightly protect various objects 11 such as electric appliances, bedding, household goods, office equipment, agricultural machinery, machine tools, and various vehicles in the event of a tsunami or flood. It protects against water damage such as flooding and spills by packing in a box.

The flood prevention pack 10 is formed of a waterproof material in the shape of a hollow box (in this case, rectangular parallelepiped), has an opening/closing part 13 that can be sealed with a waterproof fastener 12, and accommodates an object 11 to be protected and is a fixed structure around it. It has a housing 15 which is anchored to (here the pillars) 14a, 14b. The container 15 has a bottom portion 17 and a peripheral wall portion 18 surrounding the bottom portion 17 , and an opening 19 is formed on the upper surface side of the peripheral wall portion 18 . In this embodiment, the container 15 has a structure in which the opening 19 is covered with the opening/closing portion 13, and a waterproof fastener 12 is attached between the periphery of the opening 19 and the outer periphery of the opening/closing portion 13. . The waterproof fastener 12 is continuously attached in a substantially U-shape along the peripheral wall portion 18 at a position lower than the upper surface of the peripheral wall portion 18, so that the waterproof fastener 12 operates smoothly and the opening/closing work is facilitated. It can be carried out. In addition, since the opening/closing portion 13 extends from the upper edge of one surface (one side surface) of the peripheral wall portion 18 and is formed continuously with the peripheral wall portion 18, the opening/closing portion 13 can be lost. The opening 19 can be immediately closed without the need for alignment between the opening 19 and the opening/closing portion 13.例文帳に追加

With the above-described configuration, the water intrusion prevention pack 10 can watertightly and airtightly pack the object 11 to be protected. For example, in addition to a structure in which an opening is formed in a part of the peripheral wall and covered with an opening/closing part, or a structure in which an opening is formed across a part of the peripheral wall from the upper surface of the storage body and covered with an opening/closing part, the peripheral wall part may be divided into a plurality of surfaces, each of the divided surfaces may be used as an opening/closing part, and adjacent surfaces may be connected with a waterproof fastener.

As a waterproof material forming the flood prevention pack 10 (container 15), it is preferable to use a fabric having robustness and durability similar to those of, for example, rubber boats, disaster air tents, fireproof protective clothing, and the like. In particular, the fabric for rubber boats used on water is suitable because it is resistant to tearing and has excellent watertightness. Specifically, a rubber-coated fabric obtained by laminating multiple layers of rubber such as chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber, ethylene propylene diene rubber, chloroprene rubber, or natural rubber to a synthetic fiber base fabric such as polyamide or polyester is preferably used. be done. When polyamide is used as the base fabric, it is lightweight and has excellent flexibility and stretchability. When polyester is used, it is hard, highly rigid, has little stretchability, and is excellent in durability. The combination and the number of layers of rubber to be attached to the base fabric can be selected as appropriate. Also, instead of rubber, a fabric obtained by laminating a vinyl chloride resin to a base fabric may be used. At least one surface of the peripheral wall portion 18 and the opening/closing portion 13 are preferably integrally formed, but airtightness and watertightness may be ensured by bonding them together by welding or adhesion. In addition, even when a seam between the bottom and the peripheral wall of the storage body and a seam between the peripheral walls occur, airtightness and watertightness can be ensured by sticking them together by welding or bonding. At this time, the number and location of seams can be selected as appropriate. The seams can also be connected with waterproof fasteners.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 5, a front wall (a part of the peripheral wall portion 18) 20 on one side in the longitudinal direction of the storage body 15 formed in a rectangular shape in plan view and a rear wall on the other side First and second binding member inserting portions 23 and 24 are formed in the height direction central portion of (part of the peripheral wall portion 18) 21, respectively. Both ends of the first binding member 25a that is inserted through the first binding member insertion portion 23 and traverses the surface of the front wall 20 are anchored to the fixed structure 14a positioned behind the rear wall 21, and are connected to the second binding member 25a. Both ends of the second binding member 25b that is inserted through the binding member insertion portion 24 and crosses the surface of the rear wall 21 are anchored to the fixed structure 14b positioned in front of the front wall 20. As shown in FIG. As a result, even if a force that moves the container 15 to one side (the front wall 20 side) in the longitudinal direction or a force that moves the storage body 15 to the other side (the rear wall 21 side) acts, the first and second binding members cannot be inserted. No load is applied to the portions 23 and 24, and damage to the first and second binding member insertion portions 23 and 24 or the container 15 is prevented. The storage body 15 can be firmly fixed so as to surround the outer periphery of the . As a result, it is possible to effectively prevent the storage body 15 from moving, tilting, rotating, etc., maintain a stable posture, and protect the object 11 to be protected. Strings or ropes are preferably used as the first and second binding members 25a and 25b, but wires or chains may be used depending on the type of the object 11 to be protected.

In this embodiment, three each of the first and second binding member insertion portions 23 and 24 are arranged in series in the width direction of the front wall 20 and the rear wall 21, but the first and second binding member insertion portions can be selected as appropriate. Also, in this embodiment, the first and second binding member inserting portions 23, 24 are formed in a cylindrical shape in order to increase the strength thereof, but the diameter and length thereof can be appropriately selected. Note that the first and second binding member insertion portions need only be able to pass through the first and second binding members, and the shape thereof is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and can be appropriately selected. can be in the form of Also, since the first and second binding member inserting portions 23 and 24 are fixed to the storage body 15 by welding or adhesion, the material thereof is preferably the same as the material of the storage body 15, but may be different. It does not have to be waterproof, and it may be made of general cloth or synthetic resin.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the water intrusion prevention pack 10 includes a cushioning member 26 detachably covering the outer periphery of the object 11 to be protected. A fixing band 27 made of rubber or cloth or the like is wrapped around a cushioning member 26 that covers the outer circumference of the object 11 to be protected, and the ends are tied together or joined with a hook-and-loop fastener to provide a cushioning effect. Member 26 can be fixed. The external shape of the protection target 11 whose outer periphery is covered with the cushioning member 26 is shaped into a rectangular or square shape in plan view, so that the protrusions and recesses on the outer periphery of the protection target 11 are replaced by the cushioning member 26 . can be covered to prevent damage to the object to be protected 11 (mainly the convex portion). In addition, the peripheral wall portion 18 of the container 15 is not broken by the projections of the object 11 to be protected, so that the container 15 is prevented from being flooded with water, and the object 11 to be protected can be reliably protected. The dimensions, number and arrangement of the fixing bands can be selected as appropriate.

As the cushioning member 26, it is preferable to use a material (for example, an air mat) which is formed in a hollow bag shape and whose inside can be filled with gas (air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc.). The cushioning member 26 may be wrapped around the outer circumference of the object to be protected 11 after being filled with gas before use, or the cushioning member 26 in a collapsed state after the gas is extracted may be wrapped around the outer circumference of the object 11 to be may be filled. In addition, if the cushioning member 26 is wound around the outer circumference of the object 11 to be protected and gas is filled in parallel, the work time can be shortened. It should be noted that each surface of the object to be protected does not necessarily have to be covered with one cushioning member. For example, a plurality of cushioning members may be arranged side by side along the longitudinal direction of the object to be protected, or a plurality of cushioning members may be stacked and arranged, and the total thickness of the cushioning members may be selected as appropriate. can.

The cushioning member 26 is preferably formed in a square or rectangular plate shape in accordance with the dimensions (length, width and height) of the object 11 to be protected. , one having a plurality of (here, five) air chambers 29 can also be used. In the cushioning member 28 having a plurality of divided air chambers 29 in this way, even if some of the air chambers 29 are damaged and the internal gas leaks, the gas is prevented from leaking from the other air chambers 29. , the function of the buffer member 28 can be maintained. Also, if the number of air chambers is increased and the length of the cushioning member is lengthened, instead of arranging separate cushioning members 26 around the outer periphery of the object 11 to be protected as shown in FIG. It can also be wrapped around the outer circumference of the object 11 . The cross-sectional shape of the air chamber is not limited to the semicircular shape shown in FIG. 6, but a circular shape is preferably used.

A cushioning material can also be used as a cushioning member. In that case, a sheet-shaped polyurethane (sponge) or the like may be used as it is, or it may be used by packing it in a bag made of cloth or synthetic resin. good. A bubble cushioning material can also be used as the cushioning member, but in that case, it is preferable to stack a plurality of cushioning materials. Each of the different types of cushioning members described above may be used alone, or a plurality of types may be combined (stacked) and used. In addition, instead of preparing these dedicated cushioning members, it is possible to cover the surroundings of the object to be protected with a blanket or futon and use it as a simple cushioning member, or a dedicated cushioning member and a simple cushioning member. can also be used together.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the upper surface of the object to be protected 11 is covered with an upper cushioning member 30 to reduce the impact received from the upper surface side of the storage body 15 due to the collision with a falling or falling object. . The upper cushioning member 30 may be simply placed on the upper surface of the object 11 to be protected, or may be fixed to the object 11 to be protected or the cushioning member 26 as necessary. Note that the upper cushioning member may be omitted. In addition, when the container 15 containing the object 11 to be protected floats on water due to buoyancy, the entire upper surface of the bottom 17 is covered with a bottom cushioning member in order to reduce the impact received from the bottom 17 side when it collides with drifting objects or the like. may The bottom cushioning member may or may not be fixed to the bottom. Although the material and structure of the top cushioning member and the bottom cushioning member are the same as those of the cushioning member, they do not have to be of the same type, and different types may be used depending on the installation location. .

A method for preventing water intrusion will be described based on the usage of the water intrusion prevention pack 10 configured as described above.
First, as shown in FIG. 3, the opening/closing portion 13 of the container 15 is opened, and the peripheral wall portion 18 of the container 15 is crushed in the height direction and installed at a desired position. Then, the object to be protected 11 is placed (moved) on the upper surface of the bottom portion 17 of the container 15 (the above is the step of placing the object to be protected).
Next, as shown in FIG. 4 , the outer circumference of the object 11 to be protected is detachably covered with a cushioning member 26 and fixed with a fixing band 27 . As described above, the cushioning member 26 is formed in the shape of a hollow bag, and is filled with gas during use. The external shape of the object 11 to be protected whose outer periphery is covered with the cushioning member 26 is rectangular in plan view. Moreover, the upper surface of the object 11 to be protected is covered with the upper cushioning member 28 (above, the cushioning member attaching step).
Next, as shown in FIG. 5, by lifting up the peripheral wall portion 18 of the storage body 15 and sealing the opening/closing portion 13 with the waterproof fastener 12, the object to be protected 11 can be stored inside the storage body 15. It can be done (above, protected object storage process).

Next, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , each of the first and second grooves is formed in a rectangular shape in plan view, and is formed in the height direction central portions of the front wall 20 on one side in the longitudinal direction and the rear wall 21 on the other side in the longitudinal direction, respectively. A first binding member 25a is inserted through the first binding member insertion portion 23 of the storage body 15 in which the second binding member insertion portions 23 and 24 are formed, and the first binding across the surface of the front wall 20 is formed. Both ends of the member 25a are anchored to the fixed structure 14a positioned behind the rear wall 21, the second binding member 25b is inserted through the second binding member insertion portion 24, and the second binding member 25b crossing the surface of the rear wall 21 is inserted. Both ends of the binding member 25b are tied to the fixed structure 14b located in front of the front wall 20. As shown in FIG. At this time, the height at which both ends of the first and second binding members 25a and 25b are connected to the fixed structures 14a and 14b should be lower than the height of the first and second binding member insertion portions 23 and 24. It is preferable that the first and second binding members 25a and 25b are loosened from the first and second binding member insertion portions 23 and 24 to the fixed structures 14a and 14b. This makes it possible to reduce the load applied to the first and second binding members 25a and 25b when a force is applied to move the water protection pack 10 (storage body 15) due to buoyancy or water flow. body tethering process).

According to the flood prevention pack 10 and the flood prevention method configured as described above, when a tsunami or flood occurs, various objects to be protected are stored inside the flood prevention pack 10 (container 15) installed indoors or outdoors. 11 can be protected from flood damage such as inundation and outflow. There is no need to take it with you when you evacuate, you can quickly evacuate, and you can protect your property while ensuring your physical safety. In particular, when the object to be protected 11 is a heavy object that does not float on water, such as agricultural machinery, machine tools, or large special vehicles, the object to be protected is stored in the container 15 with the container 15 submerged in water. Object 11 can be protected from submersion. After the tsunami or flood subsides, if the objects 11 to be protected are taken out from the container 15, the objects 11 to be protected can be used immediately. can be mitigated. In addition, the labor and expenditure required to support the lives of disaster victims can be greatly reduced.
The dimensions (length, width, and height) of the storage body 15 can be appropriately selected according to the dimensions of the object to be protected 11 to be stored. For example, for home use, the size is about 2 m long, 1 m wide, and 1 m high, and can store electrical appliances such as televisions, household goods, tatami mats, carpets, futons, etc. For government offices, the size of each side is about 2 to 5 m, and office equipment, agricultural machinery, machine tools, etc. can be stored, and the length is increased to about 5 to 10 m, such as police cars and fire trucks. , tank trucks, and large special vehicles such as vacuum trucks can be stored.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the configurations described in the above-described embodiments, and other implementations conceivable within the scope of the matters described in the claims. Examples and modifications are also included.
For example, the opening/closing portion may be provided with a key for anti-theft (for example, a lock mechanism for fixing a slider of a waterproof fastener, etc.). Note that the object to be protected is not particularly limited as long as it can be stored in the storage body, and other than the above-described objects, for example, a safe, a motorcycle, etc. can also be targeted.
Also, an external cushioning member can be attached to the outside of the container (for example, the outer periphery lower part of the peripheral wall portion constituting the container). The material and structure of the external shock-absorbing member can be the same as those of the shock-absorbing member described above, and can mitigate the impact of collisions with drifting objects and surrounding structures. Then, it is possible to prevent drifting objects from directly colliding with the storage body, thereby suppressing damage to the storage body, and effectively preventing water wetting and damage to the objects to be protected stored in the storage body. . In particular, when the external cushioning member is formed in the shape of a hollow bag and has a structure filled with gas, the external cushioning member generates buoyancy when the water level rises due to a flood or the like, and the container is kept in a stable posture. It can also float on water. The number, shape and arrangement of the external cushioning members can be selected as appropriate. For example, in addition to attaching one annularly formed external shock-absorbing member so as to surround the outer periphery of the container, four rod-shaped external shock-absorbing members may be separately attached to the lower side of each peripheral wall portion, or a flat plate may be attached. The entire bottom portion may be covered with an external cushioning member formed in a shape. In addition, an external cushioning member is attached to the upper surface of the container to reduce the impact caused by the collision of falling objects, etc., or an external cushioning member is attached to the peripheral edge of the upper surface of the container and/or the surface or peripheral edge of each peripheral wall to prevent falling objects, It is possible to effectively prevent breakage of the container by mitigating the impact caused by the collision of drifting objects and surrounding structures.

Basically, even if a flood prevention pack (container), which is entirely watertight and airtight, is immersed in water, the inside of the container will not be flooded, and the object to be protected will be protected from water damage. However, if the storage body (bottom, peripheral wall and opening/closing part) or the waterproof fastener is damaged, water ingress will occur, so by floating the storage body in water, the risk of water inundation can be reduced. In this case, by making the binding member that connects the container and the surrounding fixed structure long (for example, about 2 to 5 m long), the container can be floated as the water level rises. Also, when binding the ends of the binding member to the pillar, a gap is provided in advance between the binding part of the binding member and the pillar so that the binding part can move (slid) along the height direction of the pillar. can also be Alternatively, a binding member delivery device equipped with a reel that is freely rotatable in the delivery direction of the binding member is fixed to a pillar or the like, the other end of the binding member is wound around the reel, and the container rises with the water level, The binding member may be automatically paid out when the binding member is pulled.

The anti-flooding pack and anti-flooding method according to the present invention are used to prepare for the occurrence of torrential rains, typhoons, tsunamis, floods, and the like, for electrical appliances, bedding, household goods, office equipment, agricultural machinery, machine tools, and various vehicles. Various protected objects can be packed watertight and airtight to protect them from water ingress.
