Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] 1. Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a water tank used in soba shops, etc., in which water is stored for rinsing or cooling noodles.

2. Prior Art In order to serve the noodles as a meal, they are first boiled, then immediately scooped into a basket and taken out of the hot water, poured over water to lower the temperature, and then soaked in tap water or other washing water filled in a water tank for rinsing. Remove the glue-like slimy feeling attached to the surface of the noodles and the cut edges of the noodles (hereinafter collectively referred to as "nulls").

3 Problems to be solved by the invention However, the washed-out slime gradually accumulates in the tank and contaminates the washing water in the tank, so it is often necessary to empty the water in the tank to clean it. For this reason, there is a drawback that water and time are wasted in replacing the washing water and cleaning the aquarium.

4. Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides an aquarium with an open top, the bottom of which is formed into a slope, and at least a part of the outer greenery at the deepest part of the tank is connected to the slope, thereby integrating the drainage recess and the water supply header. The bottom structure of the aquarium is provided with a drainage recess connected to the slope, and a water supply header is provided on the other side of the recess separated from the slope or within the recess. It is something to do.

5. Effect The water supplied from the water supply unit in such a manner as to be spouted upward generates a convection current that rises and falls in a large circle within the tank as a whole. Therefore, when the water tank of the present invention is used for rinsing boiled noodles, the noodles are automatically rinsed by convection, and the washed water slides down the slope formed at the bottom of the water tank and is automatically drained. As it collects in the recess, its removal by drainage keeps the water clean and uncontaminated.

6 Example Figure 1 shows the external appearance of the aquarium. The water tank (indicated by broken lines) is covered by an outer wall 6 and supported by a support leg 7 having wheels at its lower end. FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal sectional view of the aquarium 1 of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a top view of the same.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, the water tank 1 has a cylindrical shape with an open top end and a bottom 11 tapered downward to form a slope 12. 2 is a bottom structure formed integrally with a water supply header 21 and a drainage recess 22;
As shown in the figure, it is provided at the deepest bottom 11 of the water tank 1. The bottom structure 2 has a water supply header 21 formed in a drainage recess 22, and preferably a drainage groove 22 is formed on the outside of the water supply header 21 concentrically with the water supply header 21 as shown in the figure.
The water supply header 21 is not open but has a large number of upwardly directed small through holes 24 at its top, which preferably protrude upwards from the opening surface formed by the drain groove 22. The slope at the deepest part 12
The outer edge of the drain groove 22 is connected to the lower edge of the drain groove 22.

A water supply pipe 3 is connected to the water supply header 21,
A drain port 23 is bored at any suitable location in the drain groove 22, and a drain pipe 4 is communicated with the drain port 23, and a drain port 23 is provided in each pipe 3, 4, respectively.
5 is a drain pipe for draining excess water to prevent it from overflowing from the water tank 1 and spilling out to the outside; The lower end communicates with the drain pipe 4. Note that 6 is an outer wall provided on the outside of the water tank 1 as before, and 7 is a supporting leg.

Figures 4 and 5 show another embodiment of the invention. The water tank 101 has a square cylindrical shape, and the bottom part 111 has a wooden peg shape that slopes only to one side, like a beveled prism. The bottom structure 102 has a rectangular water supply header 12
1 and a drainage groove 122 are integrally formed on one side thereof, and this is the deepest bottom part 111 of the water tank 101.
A drain groove 122 is arranged on the slope 112 side, and a water supply header 121 is arranged on the opposite wall side, so that the lower edge of the slope 112 is connected to the edge of the drain groove 122. A water supply pipe 103 having a socket 131 is attached to the water supply header 121, and a drain pipe 103 having a socket 141 at the drain port 123 is attached to the drain groove 122.
04 is connected and installed. The rest is the same as the previous embodiment.

In the present invention, convection is generated by the water supply, but in the above-mentioned embodiment, as shown in the first figure, the upward laminar flow that occurs in the center is dispersed at or near the water surface, and then flows along the side wall. In the embodiment described later, as shown in the third figure, the ascending laminar flow that occurs along the side wall facing the slope 121 changes its flow direction at or near the water surface, and then turns into a laminar flow that descends along the slope 121. becomes.

Therefore, according to the water tank 1 or 101 of the present invention, boiled noodles are soaked in the water tank and the noodles are automatically rinsed by the upward laminar flow of convection generated by water supply. At this time, the nulls 8 that are washed away, float in the water, and precipitate flow down the slope 12 or 112 on the descending laminar flow of convection, and are deposited in the drainage recess 22 or 122, allowing water to be discharged. Therefore, it is discharged and removed along with the wastewater. In addition, in the above embodiment, when the water supply header 21 has a desirable configuration in which it protrudes from the opening surface of the drain groove 22, the washed and fallen null 8 does not reach the top surface of the water supply header 21 and is deposited there. It has the effect of never happening.

As is clear from the above, the slope of the slope 12 or 112 of the bottom portion 11 or 111 may be sloped to such an extent that the stagnant null 8 is washed away by convection, and may be either a curved surface or a flat surface. Bottom structure 2 or 1
02 is located at the deepest part of the bottom 11 or 111 and at least a part of the outer edge of the drainage recess is connected to the lower edge of the slope 12 or 112 so that all the nulls 8 can be received by the generated convection, and The water supply header 21 or 121 is spaced apart from the slope 12 or 112 by the drainage recess 22 or 122, and has the depth and width to discharge all the nulls 8 flowing into the container. Any material that can be combined with 122 may be used.

7. Effects of the invention As described above, the bottom structure of the water tank of the invention is integrally formed with the water supply header and the discharge recess, and the drainage recess is in contact with the slope, and the water supply header is separated from the slope by the drainage recess. Since it is installed at the deepest part of the bottom of the water tank, it is possible to generate convection current in the water tank suitable for rinsing the boiled noodles and discharging the washed-off slime generated at that time.
