Description

  This device relates to a rainwater collector that is installed and used in a vertical position for effective use of rainwater.

In recent years, the use of rainwater, which has been promoted to effectively prevent global warming, leaves foreign matter such as leaves and dirt deposited on roofs and rain gutters in rainwater storage tanks, which interferes with rainwater use and maintenance. May be necessary.
In order to solve this problem, a technique is being established in which a filter is provided in the vicinity of a vertical rainwater intake, foreign matter is removed, and rainwater that has passed through the filter is guided to a water storage tank.

However, a free flow path with a sufficient area is necessary to allow a large amount of rainwater due to torrential rain to flow down.
On the other hand, in order to secure rainwater, it is necessary to minimize the free flow path and increase the water intake area while standing, and the expansion of the free flow path area and the improvement of rainwater collection efficiency are contradictory. Has been.
In addition, in order to promote the use of rainwater in ordinary households, it is desired that it can be installed without special skills, is a simple rainwater collector, and is low in cost.

  This invention was made based on the above technical background, and it is possible to treat a large amount of rainwater during torrential rain and to achieve efficient rainwater collection, and to provide an inexpensive and simple rainwater collection device. It is said.

This device takes the following means to solve the above problems.
An opening through which rainwater concentrates and flows down in the vertical wall is provided, and the rainwater is guided to the opening using an inclined plate.
An inclined filter is provided below the opening, and a filter is provided at a position where rainwater flowing down the standing wall flows.
The filter does not cover the entire cross section of the vertical shaft and leaves the necessary opening, but the rainwater passing through the vertical wall is structured to flow to the entire filter.
In addition, many of the parts of the rainwater collecting device are made of joint members and the like that are mass-produced in connection with the vertical shaft, so that the cost can be reduced and installation and maintenance on the vertical rod are extremely easy.

  By providing this device, it is possible to treat a large amount of rainwater during torrential rain, and to collect rainwater efficiently, as well as to provide an inexpensive and simple rainwater collection device, which is extremely effective for rainwater use and global warming prevention. Result can be obtained.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the structure of the rainwater sampler of the present invention.
Reference numeral 1a denotes an upper portion of the cut upright, and a fixing member 2a is fixed by a fixing screw 3a.
An upper joint member 2b is fitted and connected so that the fixing member 2a and the tubular member 2d do not leak. The fitting portion is provided with the inclined plate 2c sandwiched therebetween, and rainwater that randomly flows down the cross section of the upright from the upper portion is caused to flow down to the upper opening flow path 4a.
The tubular member 2d forms a rainwater flow path, and the filter 2e is inclined inside. The rainwater flowing down from the upper opening flow path 4a by the inclined plate flows in a total amount.
The upper portion of the filter 2e is fixed to the tube member 2d by an upper set screw 3b and an upper nut 3c, and the lower portion is fixed to the water storage plate 2f by a lower set screw 3d and the lower nut 3e.
Reference numeral 2g denotes a lower joint member, which fits and connects the tubular member 2d and the cut lower portion 1b of the vertical rod so as not to leak water. In this fitting portion, a water storage plate 2f is sandwiched and fixed, and rainwater that has passed through the filter can be stored up to the storage height H of the fixed plate, and from the intake channel 4c via a conduit (not shown). Then, rainwater is sent to a rainwater storage tank (not shown).
4a is an upper opening channel through which rainwater concentrated by the inclined plate flows down, and 4c is a lower opening channel through which foreign matter or the like flows down.
In addition, the figure of A arrow is a top view which looked at the rainwater collector at the position of A in the figure, and the figure of arrow B is a plan view which looked at the rainwater collector at the position of B in the figure. is there.
In this embodiment, the tubular member 2d has a diameter larger than that of the vertical rod 1, and both the upper opening channel 4a and the lower opening channel 4b are set to have the same cross-sectional area as the vertical rod 1. For this reason, there are no problems due to the installation of a rainwater collector even during a heavy rain.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of parts of the rainwater collector of the present invention.
The inclined plate 2c is sandwiched and fixed between the upper joint member 2b and the tube member 2d, and the water storage plate 2f is sandwiched and fixed between the tube member 2d and the lower joint member 2g.
The filter is fixed to the tube member 2d by an upper set screw and an upper nut, and is fixed to the water storage plate 2f by a lower set screw and a lower nut.
In this embodiment, the same-diameter joint (socket) or different-diameter joint (increase) in the drained hard polyvinyl chloride pipe joint (JIS K6739), which is popular in mass production, is used as a detachable connection that does not easily leak water. Yes. For this reason, it is inexpensive and easy to maintain.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a procedure for incorporating the rainwater collector of the present invention into a vertical shaft.
In the vertical rod 1, the vertical cut portion 1 c indicated by a broken line is cut and removed.
The upper part of the stand after cutting is 1a and the lower part is 1b.
At this time, it is desirable that the length of the cutting part 1 c is slightly longer than the length of the rainwater collector main body 2.
The fixing member 2a which makes the outer periphery is inserted into the upper part 1a of the cut vertical shaft, and the rainwater collector main body 2 is inserted into the lower part 1b of the vertical beam which has been cut at the same time.
The fixing member 2a is connected to the rainwater collector main body 2 and fixed with the fixing screw 3a to the upper part 1a of the cut standing ridge, and the assembling work is completed while the rainwater collector forms a part of the standing ridge.

  FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the inclined plate 2c of the present invention, which is formed by bending a stainless steel thin plate.

  FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the water storage plate 2f of the present invention, which is formed by bending a thin stainless steel plate.

1 to 3, the upper and lower joint members 2b and 2g, the fixing member 2a, and the tubular member 2d used in the present invention are drained hard polyvinyl chloride pipe joints (JIS K6739) which are commercially available piping materials. ) Joints with the same diameter (sockets) and joints with different diameters (increasers) are used, and the inclined plate 2c and the water storage plate 2f are also shown to be sandwiched and fixed. It is easy to install in, and it can be seen that this is an efficient rainwater collector with excellent economy.
In other words, foreign substances contained in rainwater flowing down the vertical wall were removed, and rainwater could be collected efficiently, making it possible to provide an inexpensive and simple rainwater collector.
At the same time, consideration has been given to avoiding problems caused by heavy rain due to the installation of rainwater collectors, and in particular, no problems with flow down due to a decrease in the flow path.

As described above, the effect of the inclined plate and the installation of the filter that intersects the inclined plate allow the rain water to be collected efficiently while removing the foreign matters contained in the rain water flowing down the vertical wall, and can be easily attached at a low cost. Since it is a rainwater collector, it has a great effect of promoting the use of rainwater in ordinary households and a high economic effect.
Further, CO2 emissions can be suppressed by saving tap water by using rainwater.
