Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The invention is based on an elevated water tank used as a water supply facility and a large slide for entertainment, which is a type of leisure equipment installed in amusement parks, parks, athletic fields, etc. This relates to a large slide that also serves as an elevated water tank.

(Conventional technology and its problems) In order to ensure water supply pressure above a certain value,
Elevated water tanks, which temporarily store water at the top of tall pillars, are being built all over the country.

In other words, they are installed on the rooftops of high-rise buildings such as apartment complexes and offices, and within facilities that require a wide water supply area, such as amusement parks, parks, and athletic fields.

This is especially essential equipment when it is difficult to change the discharge pressure in response to fluctuations in supply and demand with just the steady capacity of the water supply pump. In particular, elevated water tanks are an indispensable water supply facility for parks and athletic fields, which are often built on hilly areas.

On the other hand, in recent years, large slides, which are built on the ground at a height of about 10 meters and have a continuous path from the top to the ground, have become popular as recreational facilities in parks and amusement parks. It is becoming popular as a.

However, in the past, the elevated water tank and the large slide were both considered to be facilities with completely different purposes, so they were actually constructed completely separately.

In other words, since the construction site and structural members were allocated separately, the land and construction costs were extremely high, and maintenance and management required a great deal of effort, causing problems in both construction and operation.

(Purpose of the invention) This invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it organically accommodates the water supply and drainage pipes necessary for the elevated water tank and the lifting equipment necessary for the slide, making it both practical and playful. The aim is to create an elevated water tank and large slide that is both aesthetically pleasing, has low land and construction costs, and is easy to maintain.

(Structure of the invention) The present invention focuses on the fact that the conventional elevated water tank and the large slide that has become popular in recent years are both tower-shaped structures, and organically combines the two.
The water tank has a rotating body cross-section with excellent wind and earthquake resistance.
The frame supporting the heavy aquarium was made into a double concentric structure to create a sturdy structure, and in order to improve the aesthetics of the leisure facility, water supply and drainage equipment for the aquarium and equipment for raising and lowering players and maintenance personnel to the landing were installed. The water tank is compactly stored in a frame and is provided above the landing to protect players waiting to go downhill from direct sunlight and rain, and is larger than the landing to form a large slide that also serves as an elevated water tank.

(Embodiments and operations of the invention) The invention will be described in detail below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a half-sectional view showing an embodiment of the present invention, showing the right half from the center in section.

In the figure, the large slide of this invention is 10 or
A cylindrical base pillar 2 with a height of 20 m is erected on the ground, and elevating equipment 1 such as stairs and elevators leading from the ground to a landing 4 set at a high place is assembled inside the base pillar 2. Note that the figure shows stairs as an example.

Further, at the top of the base pillar 2, a water tank 3 is installed, which has a rotating body cross-sectional shape with a larger outer diameter than the landing 4, and temporarily stores clean water. A support post 6 arranged concentrically with the base post 2 holds the water tank 3 and is equipped with a water supply and drainage pipe 7 therein.

In addition, when the weight of the water tank 3 is substantially supported by the pillar 6, the base pillar 2 may be a member with low strength.

That is, by erecting round rods or small-diameter tubes at predetermined intervals on the circumference, ventilation and light transmission can be obtained, allowing users to climb the stairs while enjoying the surrounding scenery.

A landing 4 is provided above the base pillar 2, and a downhill slide 5 starts from this and continues until the end point on the ground.
will be established.

In addition, in order to make it possible for the users 8 who are sliding down the slope to be visible from the ground, the materials for the slide 5 are as follows:
A series of slides 5 is formed by connecting unit elements made of translucent resin material such as FRP, polycarbonate, acrylic, etc. and having a cylindrical cross section with predetermined dimensions.

Although the figure shows an example of a closed type slide having a cylindrical cross section, an open type slide having a substantially U-shaped cross section may be adopted as another shape.

The continuously formed downhill slide 5 has a base pillar 2.
Alternatively, it is supported at predetermined intervals by supports 9 extending horizontally from the side surfaces of the columns 6.

(Effects of the invention) Since the present invention has the above configuration, it has the following unique effects.

A heavy water tank 3 having a rotating body cross section is arranged concentrically between an inner cylindrical column 6 and an outer base column 2.
Because it is supported by a double concentric structure with a double concentric structure, the stable and robust shape of the tank 3 itself and the stable and strong support frame combine to make the elevated tank resistant to wind pressure, earthquakes, and high strength. It has an excellent shape and structure.

In addition, the landing 4, which serves as a waiting area for downhill skiing and a maintenance area for the elevated water tank, is covered by a large water tank 3 located above the landing 4, so the water tank 3 also serves as a roof, and the landing 4 Players and maintenance personnel waiting on the slopes are not exposed to direct sunlight or get wet during rain, so they can safely wait for the ski to start and perform maintenance and inspection work.

Furthermore, in athletic fields, parks, and amusement parks, which are often located on hills or high places, water supply is inconvenient due to insufficient water pressure, so it is necessary to install separate water supply equipment or introduce high-pressure water from a distance. Although it was necessary, an elevated water tank was installed above the slide, so the necessary high water pressure water supply was provided directly from the elevated water tank.

Furthermore, during maintenance and inspection of the elevated water tank, maintenance personnel can ascend and descend using the safe lifting equipment 1 installed between the support column 6 and the base column 2 without using dangerous ladders, etc. When raising and lowering equipment, a slide can be used to raise and lower the equipment, making the work safer.

In addition, the cylindrical support 6 is equipped with a water supply and drainage pipe 7, and the lifting equipment 1 is built in between the base 2 and the support 6, making the overall structure more compact.
Moreover, the water supply and drainage pipe 7 is covered with the pillar 6, so that the structure has an excellent appearance as a leisure facility without spoiling the aesthetic appearance.

Therefore, the construction cost of the large slide that also serves as an elevated water tank according to the present invention is much lower than the total construction cost of constructing both separately as in the past, and is therefore very economical.

In other words, unlike the case where they are constructed separately, the support frame and construction site for the aquarium 3 and slide 5 can be shared, which not only halves the material cost and manufacturing cost of the support frame, but also significantly reduces the land area. Land use efficiency will also be significantly improved.

By the way, in order to confirm the above effect, we tallied only the construction cost of the main unit for equipment with a height of 20m, and found that it cost approximately 60% compared to the conventional method of constructing it separately.
The construction cost was reduced by approximately 20%. It is obvious that if the cost of the construction site is added to the construction cost, the cost reduction effect will be further increased.

Furthermore, since the elevated water tank and the slide can be maintained and managed at the same time, inspection costs and maintenance labor can be significantly reduced.

Furthermore, it goes without saying that the shape of the main body of the elevated water tank 3 is not limited to that illustrated in the drawings, and that various shapes having a rotating body cross section can be adopted.

In other words, if the symbol mark of the company to be installed is made into a stylized shape, the trade name, trademark, or equipment name of the company that owns the equipment is written in large letters on the side wall of the aquarium 3 body, or a neon sign is installed, it can be used as a symbol tower or advertising tower. It also functions as a.

Although the spiral slide 5 itself has a novel shape,
In addition, if the shape of the water tank 3 is made more novel and unique, the customer attraction of the slide equipment will increase.
As the number of users increases, the economic efficiency of facility operation will further improve.

As is clear from the above explanation, the present invention achieves an unprecedented combination of organic bonds, which not only improves the strength, durability, and functionality of the facility, but also creates a leisure facility with excellent aesthetics. It has great practical effects, such as reducing the total construction cost of the equipment and simplifying the maintenance and management of the equipment.
