Description

  This is an emergency water supply system that can easily supply water at home in the event of an emergency such as a disaster.

Although the water supply facilities cannot be interrupted even as a national lifeline, if there is a lightning strike and the power supply is temporarily interrupted, the water supply will be interrupted due to the effect. Also, in the event of a disaster such as an earthquake, the power supply may be interrupted or the water conduit may be damaged, resulting in water interruption, which may greatly hinder the lives of residents.
In such an emergency, a water truck has been dispatched as a public service, and it has hit the water supply service. However, the water supply service of the water truck is far from the residents' desire to “make the necessary amount when necessary”. It was the current situation. Therefore, in such a case, if a simple emergency water supply facility is provided at home, the lifeline can be secured somehow even in an emergency.

As such a simple emergency water supply facility for home use, there is conventionally a device as shown in FIG. 4 (see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-39212). Referring to FIG. 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a sealed tank provided in the home. Normally, tap water is supplied from the water inlet 2 through the cock 3 into the sealed tank 1. The supplied tap water passes through the inside 1 of the sealed tank, exits from the discharge port 5 through the pipe 4, and is used as clean household water in the kitchen, washroom and the like. On the other hand, when water breaks out in an emergency, the supply of tap water from the water inlet 2 stops, but when the emergency cock 6 provided below the sealed tank 1 is opened, air flows from the outlet 5. Thereby, the tap water stored in the sealed tank 1 is discharged through the emergency cock 6 and can be used as domestic water. However, the disadvantages of this conventional example are that a large installation space is required in the home, and there are not many areas in which the water supplied from the water inlet 2 passes completely through the sealed tank in a fresh state. A significant portion of the old water area, ie, the dead water area.

As a conventional example newly proposed as an emergency water supply facility for home use that solves the problem of installation space in the home and the problem of dead water areas, there is an apparatus shown in FIG. 5 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-195329). reference). In FIG. 5, reference numeral 7 denotes a wall at an appropriate place in the home, and an emergency water supply device 9 mainly composed of a plurality of tubular members 8 is provided thereon. The uppermost tubular member 8-1 is provided with an air valve 10, and tap water is supplied from the water inlet 11 at the right end of 8-1. The supplied tap water passes through the tubular member 8-1, and 1 enters the next tubular member 8-2 through the communication pipe 12-1 at the left end of 1 and enters the next tubular member 8-3 through the communication pipe 12-2 through 8-2, 3, the water is discharged from the discharge port 13 at the left end of 8-3 through the water supply currant 14. The discharged water is used in kitchens, washrooms and toilets. Part of the water flowing from the water inlet 11 to the outlet 13 has a larger flow resistance than the communication pipes 12-1 and 12-2, that is, the tubular member 8 through the outlet pipes 15-1 and 15-2 having a smaller diameter. It flows between -1 and 8-3. With this structure, the water at the corners of the tubular member that tends to stagnate and become a dead water area is circulated, so that most of the water flowing in from the water inlet 11 can pass through the tubular members 8-1 to 8-3. The dead water area can be almost eliminated. This device is also only attached to the wall of the house, so it does not require installation space in the home.

However, in this conventional apparatus, in order to reduce the dead water area, as a member for connecting the tubular members 8-1 to 8-3, in addition to the communication pipes 12-1 and 12-2 having a large diameter, relative to them. Thus, it is necessary to provide the discharge pipes 15-1 and 15-2 having a small diameter at the same end as the communication pipe mounting end of the tubular member 8, and an extra material and an extra manufacturing process are required for this purpose. . In addition, since the possibility of a water leakage problem increases by further providing the discharge pipes 15-1 and 15-2, it is necessary to take new measures to prevent this.

  The present application relates to a simple emergency water supply apparatus for home use to cope with a sudden water outage in an emergency, and particularly aims to reduce the installation space in the home and completely eliminate the dead water area. It is another object of the present invention to simplify the structure by eliminating extra costs for eliminating dead water areas, and to minimize water leakage from the connection between the tubular members.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the present application, the installation in the home as a configuration in which an emergency water supply device composed of a plurality of tubular members arranged in a zigzag in the vertical direction (the direction of gravity) is installed on the wall surface of the home. Space was minimized. Further, by connecting the tubular members to each other via a flat conical narrowing portion, the dead water area can be completely eliminated with a simple configuration, and the use of an extra connecting member for eliminating the dead water area is unnecessary. did. In particular, if a flat conical connecting member is used for the narrow conical narrowing portion, the overall configuration can be simplified, the manufacturing time can be shortened, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

In the invention of claim 1 of the present application, a plurality of tubular members are arranged in a zigzag manner in the vertical direction, a water inlet and an air valve are provided in the uppermost tubular member, and a water outlet is provided in the lowermost tubular member. In the emergency water supply apparatus, the tubular members are connected to each other via a conical narrowing portion.
Invention of Claim 2 of this application is an emergency water supply apparatus of Claim 1 which made the angle of the said flat conical narrowing part the range of 20-60 degrees.
Invention of Claim 3 of this application is the emergency water supply apparatus of Claim 1 which made the angle of the said flat conical narrowing part the range of 25-45 degrees.
Invention of Claim 4 of this application is an emergency water supply apparatus of Claims 1-3 which uses the said flat cone-shaped narrowing part as a flat cone type connection member.
The device according to claim 5 of the present application is characterized in that the conical constricting portion is the both end portions of the tubular member constricted into a flat conical shape. It is.
Invention of Claim 6 of this application is an emergency water supply apparatus of Claims 1-5 characterized by installing each said tubular member on a wall surface.

FIG. 1 shows the entire emergency water supply apparatus according to the present application. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 101 denotes a wall at an appropriate place in the home, on which an emergency water supply device 103 composed of a plurality of tubular members 102 is installed. The place where the emergency water supply device 9 is installed in the home is not limited to water facilities such as a kitchen, a washroom, and a toilet, and may be any place. Tap water is supplied from the inlet 105 at the left end of the uppermost tubular member 102-1 of the emergency water supply apparatus 103, and the supplied tap water passes through the tubular member 102-1 and is at the right end of 102-1. Enter the next tubular member 102-2 through the connecting pipe 106, enter the next tubular member 102-3 through the leftmost connecting pipe 106 through 102-2, go through the same process, and finally It is led out from the outlet 107 at the left end of the tubular member 102-6 through the water supply currant 108. The derived water is usually used as ordinary tap water in a kitchen or a washroom. Further, the uppermost tubular member 102-1 is provided with an air valve 104. When water is cut off in an emergency and tap water is not supplied, the air valve is opened and the water supply currant 108 is opened to open the inside of the tubular member. Use the stored water as household water. The air valve 104 may be configured to automatically open when the water supply currant is opened in a state where the water pressure is reduced due to water cut. The stored water in the tubular member 102 can be used for 4 to 6 days in general households.

The tubular members are arranged in a zigzag manner in the vertical direction, and are connected via a narrow conical narrowing portion 109. In this way, since the tubular members are connected to each other via the flat conical narrowing portion 109, all of the water introduced into the tubular member 102 flows through the tubular member 102 until it is discharged. As a result, the dead water area can be completely zero. As shown in FIG. 1, as an arrangement in which the tubular members are arranged in a zigzag manner in the vertical direction, when all the tubular members are arranged in the horizontal direction, the installation area of the apparatus can be minimized, which is most preferable. .
As such a flat conical narrowing portion 109, a flat conical connection member 110 as shown in FIG. 2 can be used. As shown in the figure, the flat conical connecting member 110 is arranged such that the bottom of one large-diameter circular tubular end and the bottom of the other small-diameter circular tubular end are arranged at the same height, In addition, the tube that has been narrowed into a conical shape is sandwiched with its bottom portion in a horizontal state. As a result, the top of the flat conical connecting member has a slope at the center, while the entire bottom is horizontal. This flat conical connecting member is sold under the trade name “flat deformed socket”, and although not shown, the end portion has a shape that can be fitted and connected. By using this flat conical connecting member 110 for connection between the tubular member 102 and the connecting tube 106, all the water introduced into the tubular member 102 can flow without stagnation, and the dead water area can be completely zero. . Further, in this method, since the tubular member 102 and the connecting pipe 106 are simply fitted and connected via the flat conical connecting member 110, the dead water area is completely zero. As in the conventional apparatus, in order to substantially eliminate the dead water area, a complicated configuration in which two pipes, a communication pipe having a large diameter and a discharge pipe having a small diameter, are connected to one tubular member relative to each other. Is not required at all, and is characterized by rapid production and low cost.

Further, the connection between the tubular member 102 and the flat conical connecting member 110 or the connection between the flat conical connecting member 110 and the connecting pipe 106 is not performed by the fitting connection as described above, for example, welding or an adhesive. Alternatively, a direct connection method may be employed.
Furthermore, the structure of the above-mentioned flat conical narrowing portion 109 is directly connected to the connecting pipe 106 in the narrowed shape as shown in FIG. It may be configured.
Further, as another example of the structure of the flat conical narrowing portion 109 that does not use the flat conical connecting member 110, the right and left ends of the tubular member 102 are narrowed into a flat conical shape, and this narrowing is performed. It is also possible to connect the connecting pipe 106 directly to the processed both ends so that the interposition of the flat conical connecting member 110 is unnecessary. In this case as well, the water introduced into the tubular member 102 can be completely flushed so that the dead water area can be completely zero.

  According to the simple emergency water supply system for home use according to the present application, the installation space in the home is zero, and the dead water area is completely eliminated. Can be used at home. Furthermore, the structure for eliminating the dead water area is simple, and the extra cost for it can be omitted. For this reason, the leakage trouble as expected in this type of conventional emergency water supply device is minimized. Can be limited.

In FIG. 1, each numerical value of the member used is shown below.
The narrowing angle of the conical portion of the flat conical connecting member 109 subjected to the narrowing process is preferably in the range of 20 to 60 °, more preferably in the range of 25 to 45 °. Thus, the dead water area can be completely zero.
The diameter of the tubular member 102 is preferably in the range of 30 to 200 mm, more preferably in the range of 50 to 150 mm. Similarly, the length of the tubular member 102 is preferably in the range of 700 to 2500 mm, more preferably in the range of 1000 to 2000 mm. The number of stages of use of the tubular member 102 is preferably 6 to 15 stages, and more preferably 8 to 12 stages. Further, the diameter of the connecting pipe 106 may be the same as or slightly larger than the size of the water inlet 105. By using such numerical members, if the present device is used in a general household (a family of four), the stored water can be supplied for 4 to 6 days in the event of a water outage.

These are figures which show the whole this-invention apparatus. These are figures which show the structure of the flat cone type connection member 110 in this invention. These are the figures which showed the structure connected directly to the connecting pipe 106, leaving the front-end | tip of the flat cone-shaped narrowing part 109 as a narrowing process. These are figures which showed the 1st prior art. These are figures which showed the 2nd prior art.
