Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the occupying area of gate as well as simplify gate control by providing a gate to selectively switch test operations on forced discharging and natural discharging by a drainer at the branching point from a branched waterway to the main waterway. CONSTITUTION:A branched waterway 3 is connected with the main waterway 2 through an effluent channel 5 and an inlet section 5, and a drainer 7 is provided between the waterways 3 and 2. The selective interruption of the effluent channel 4 and the inlet section 5 and also of the outlet 7B of the drainer 7 or the connection of both is allowed to switch to each other by a gate G. Natural effluence can be selectively made by interrupting between the channel 4 and the section 5, by forced discharging by operation of the drainer 7, or by closing the outlet 7. Also, during the control operation for preventing the functional deterioration by long-term downtime of the drainer 7, testing operation can be performed by opening between the channel 4 and the section 5 and also the outlet 7B.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, since the above-mentioned drainage pump station requires an extremely large installation space in terms of plane, there are spaces where construction is practically impossible due to space constraints. Moreover, the drainage pump station shown in Figure 4 requires two gates G+ and G2, which increases the number of gates used.
, , G must be selectively opened and closed separately depending on the purpose, and this opening/closing control is relatively complicated.
