Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a somen sinking device suitable for commercial or home use.

[Conventional technology and its issues]

This type of somen sinking device for the sake of elegance has existed for a long time (for example, the
44553), had the following drawbacks.

First, the equipment itself was large-scale, and once installed, it was difficult to disassemble it. That is,
Assembling and disassembling is complicated and takes a lot of time. Second, because a forced circulation system using pumps was used for water circulation, both initial and running costs were high. Furthermore, there were a variety of types of water, from those that circulate water inefficiently and are uneconomical and must be discarded after just one flush, to those that are circulated many times and become dirty and feel unclean.

[Means to solve the problem]

Therefore, this invention has solved the above-mentioned problems by taking the following measures.

That is, a channel in which a gutter formed into a generally rectangular shape in plan view is supported by legs so as to be vertically adjustable by several components, and a water faucet can be connected to supply tap water to the channel, A fresh water supply body having a flat discharge port that is parallel to the flow path and directed downward and protrudes into the flow path, and a fresh water supply body that has a flat discharge port that is parallel to the flow path and extends downward into the flow path, and a fresh water supply body that has an approximately upper half immediately after the corner of the flow path to discharge the circulating water of the flow path. A somen sinking device characterized by comprising a running water discharge body formed by inserting a chipped guide tube into the flow channel diagonally upward with the water introduction port at the tip thereof facing an outer part of the flow channel. provide it.

[Effect]

By taking the above-mentioned measures, firstly, by having the fresh water supply body having the above-described configuration, it is possible to flow a fast water flow through the flow path using only the pressure of tap water without the need for a pump or the like. Further, the above-described configuration of the running water discharge body allows the somen noodles to be kept away from the water introduction port, and only the running water can be effectively discharged.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings, and FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a somen sinking device according to this invention.

This somen sinking device has a flow path 1 consisting of a semicircular gutter with an upwardly open cross section, and inside this flow path 1,
It consists of a fresh water supply body 2 having a discharge port 2a at its tip facing toward the flow path 1, and a running water discharge body 3 having a water introduction port 3a facing into the flow path 1. Note that flow path 1
preferably has a rectangular shape in plan view, but may also have a polygonal or circular shape, and the important point is that it is formed into a closed loop.
Also, to make it easier to eat, it is usually placed almost horizontally on the ground. Furthermore, in consideration of the convenience of storage during disassembly, it is divided into several component pieces, which are then added together to form a single unit. Incidentally, the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 has a rectangular shape in plan view, with a corner portion 1a and a long portion 1.
b and short portion 1c. The size is for home use and is 11000mm x 700mm.
for commercial use, etc.
A size of about 15000mm x 700mm is suitable.

The flow path 1 is usually supported by four legs 4 at a constant height from the ground. In addition, this leg 4 has a lower auxiliary part 4b inserted into the upper main body part 4a so that it can be expanded and contracted (this is adjusted with the butterfly bolt 5).
The height above the ground can be changed. In addition,
Counter stands 6 are attached to both outer sides of the long side of the channel 1, on which a teacup, spoon, chopsticks, etc. can be placed.

Figure 2 shows a fresh water supply body 2 that supplies fresh water to the flow path 1.
The plan view of the part, Figures 3 and 4 are also side views,
As shown in the cross-sectional view, the fresh water supply body 2 projects into the flow path 1 at right angles, and has a main body portion 2b, a portion of which is formed of an elbow, a straight pipe, etc. along the axial direction of the flow path 1. As a result, if the hose 7 connected to a water faucet or the like is connected to the rear end of the fresh water supply body 2, tap water (clean water) will be discharged from the discharge port 2a at the tip, and the discharged fresh water will be discharged from the discharge port 2a. Circulate towards the opposite exit. By the way, in this case, by making the discharge port 2a flat and crushed (as shown in Figure 4, the middle part is closed and only the ends are open), the discharge pressure increases and the water flow becomes faster. Become. Further, even if two sets of fresh water supply bodies 2 are provided at symmetrical positions in the flow path 1, the pressure would be lowered, and the circulation performance would be improved. Furthermore, it is preferable that the main body 2b of the fresh water supply body 2 protrude perpendicularly to the flow path 1 and obliquely upward, and the main body 2b extending within the flow path 1 should extend in the axial direction ( It is preferable that it be set so as to face slightly downward along the circulating direction of running water and in the axial direction.

FIG. 5 is a plan view of the running water discharge body 3, and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view thereof. It protrudes perpendicularly to the axis of the flow path 1 and diagonally upward. As a result, the part of the circulating water in the channel 1 whose water level exceeds the water inlet 3a is taken into the water inlet 3a, and is discharged to the outside through the conduit 8 connected to the rear end of the main body 3b. It turns out. By the way, at this time, a guide cylinder 3c extending inside the flow path 1 in the direction in which the water introduction port 3a protrudes into the flow path 1 is attached to the water inlet 3a portion.
By overhanging the guide tube 3c and making the upper half of the guide tube 3c essential and only the lower half present, the part where the guide tube 3c is present becomes a kind of weir for the flowing water, and the guide tube 3c is mixed in the flowing water. For somen noodles etc., use water inlet 3
It interferes with trying to take it into a. moreover,
By setting the running water discharge body 3 at this time immediately after the corner part and slightly outside the flow path 1, the running water colliding with the corner part collides with the water discharge body 3 in the area where it exists. Due to the reaction of
Situations in which the water is sucked into the water inlet 3a are reduced. This point was particularly difficult for the inventor, as he was unable to find an effective method to stop somen noodles and the like from being discharged from the running water discharge body 3 using conventional methods. That is, if a net or the like is placed over the water inlet 3a, if the mesh is large, it will slip out, and if it is small, it will become clogged. Furthermore, even if the guide cylinder 3c was provided in the flow path 1, simply opening the tip of the guide cylinder 3c to form the water inlet 3a would still not be able to prevent somen noodles from being discharged. .

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, this invention is based on the above, so the first thing is to use ordinary tap water as the water source.
Fresh water can be circulated within the channel 1. Therefore, a power source such as a pump is not required, and the cost is low. Next, since this somen sinking device has a simple structure consisting of only the flow path 1, fresh water supply body 2, running water discharge body 3, etc., disassembly and assembly operations are simple, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. . In the above, since the discharge port 2a of the fresh water supply body 2 has a flat shape and protrudes downward into the channel 1, the water flow in the channel 1 is directed upward from the bottom. The force of pushing up becomes stronger and the flow of water can be made faster. In addition, a water inlet 3a for discharging running water facing into the flow path 1 is provided in the flow path 1 which is approximately rectangular in plan view.
Since it is provided immediately after the corner and at a location closer to the outside of the corner, the somen moves toward the center side due to the reaction of turning the corner, avoiding the water inlet 3a, and during this time, The somen noodles with a heavy specific gravity sink to the bottom, and as a result, the situation where the somen noodles are sucked into the water introduction port 3a can be reduced.
