JP4657264B2 - Water leakage measuring device and method - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a water leakage amount measuring apparatus and method for measuring a water leakage amount easily and accurately.

  If there is a crack in a concrete channel, water leaks from there. If water leaks in the cracked part, the crack will gradually increase due to the erosion effect of water leakage. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically measure the amount of water leakage in order to grasp the progress of cracking.

  Conventionally, the amount of water leaked from a crack was measured by applying a plastic bucket to the cracked portion where the water leak occurred and measuring the amount of water leaked in the bucket. However, with this method, if there are irregularities on the concrete wall, the water leakage that flows through the concrete wall cannot be completely collected, and the amount of water leakage may not be accurately measured. In addition, there is a problem that it takes time and effort to assign a bucket for each measurement.

By the way, as an invention related to water leakage, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for detecting a water leakage location of a water shielding sheet, but does not measure the amount of water leakage.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the water leak amount measuring apparatus and method which measure a water leak amount simply and correctly can be provided.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a water leakage amount measuring apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the water leakage amount measuring apparatus 1 includes a collection unit 10, a net 20, a hose adapter 30, a hose coupler 40, a hose 50, a water amount measuring unit 60, and the like.

  The collection part 10 collects the water which leaks from a crack location. The collecting part 10 has a water collecting port 11 which is a receiving side for collecting water and is opened with a large cross-sectional shape, and a water supplying port 12 which is a side for sending the collected water to a hose is narrowed and funnel-shaped. It has the shape of For example, among the members obtained by cutting a plastic bottle at the center as the collecting unit 10, the one with a drinking mouth can be used as the collecting unit 10. In this case, the cut surface becomes the water collection port 11 and the drinking port becomes the water supply port 12. The collecting part 10 is a water-resistant adhesive such as an underwater bond (trade name) so that the leaked water can be collected in the vicinity of the lower part of the cracked part where water is leaking and where the leaked water is flowing. It is fixed at 15. In addition, in order to collect water leak more reliably, you may provide the guide (not shown) which guides water leak to the water collection side of the collection part 10 in the vicinity side part of a crack location.

The hose 50 conveys the water collected in the collecting unit 10 to the water amount measuring unit 60.
The net 20 prevents solid foreign matters such as dust from entering the collecting unit 10. The size of the mesh of the net 20 needs to be sufficiently smaller than the diameter of the hose 50 so that the hose 50 is not clogged.

  The hose adapter 30 is attached to the water supply port 12 of the collection unit 10. A hose coupler 40 is attached to the tip of the hose 50. The hose adapter 30 and the hose coupler 40 are configured to be detachable from each other with a single touch, whereby the collection unit 10 and the hose 50 can be easily detached.

  The water metering unit 60 is a container capable of measuring the amount of water, and stores the water conveyed by the hose 50. The water metering unit 60 is provided with a scale, and the amount of stored water can be measured by reading the scale.

  Next, a usage example of the water leakage measuring device 1 will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an aspect when the water leakage amount measuring apparatus 1 is used.

  As shown in the figure, first, the collecting portion 10 with the hose 50 removed is adhered to the site where the water leakage near the crack location where the amount of water leakage is to be measured is adhered with an adhesive 15. .

  When measuring the amount of water leakage at a certain water leakage location, the hose 50 is connected to the collection unit 10 installed at the water leakage location via the hose adapter 30 and the hose coupler 40. And the water collected in the collection part 10 with the hose 50 is stored in the water quantity measurement part 60, and water quantity is measured. After the measurement, the hose 50 is removed.

  Next, when measuring the amount of water leakage at another water leakage location, the hose 50 is connected to the collection unit 10 installed at the water leakage location to be measured next, and the water amount measurement unit 60 similarly measures the amount of water. . In this way, the amount of water leakage at each water leakage location is measured in order.

  As described above, the leakage amount can be easily and accurately measured by using the leakage amount measuring apparatus 1 of the present embodiment. That is, the collection part 10 is being fixed with the adhesive agent, and the water leak from a crack location can be collected reliably. Moreover, the water leak collected in the collection part 10 is stored by the water quantity measurement part 60 via the hose 50, and the quantity can be measured correctly.

  Moreover, since the collection part 10 and the hose 50 can be easily attached or detached via the hose adapter 30 and the hose coupler 40, the amount of water leakage from many cracked places can be easily measured.

  Furthermore, by providing the net 20 in the collection part 10, clogging of dust can be prevented.

  In addition, the description of the above embodiment is for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention. It goes without saying that the present invention can be changed and improved without departing from the gist thereof, and that the present invention includes equivalents thereof.

It is a figure which shows the structure of the water leak amount measuring apparatus. It is a figure which shows an aspect when using the water leak amount measuring apparatus.
