Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drainage structure of a water collector for collecting rainwater from a pair of left and right eaves gutters arranged facing each other and dropping the rainwater vertically downward.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, in this type of water collector, various proposals have been made for a drainage structure for rectifying rainwater which flows in to improve drainage efficiency.

In these conventional techniques, by forming a spiral ridge around the drainage port, rainwater flowing from the eaves trough into the water collector is rotated and rectified (for example, actual opening). Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 48-47021 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-24742), and one in which a water dam has a damming plate (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-134519) have been proposed.

[0004]

However, although the conventional drainage structure of the water collector can obtain a certain level of rectification function, when a large amount of rainwater temporarily flows into the drainage port of the water collector, , Drainage may not be completed, and rainwater may overflow from the open part above.

Further, when foreign matter such as dead leaves is mixed in the rainwater flowing from the eaves gutter, the foreign matter may not be able to obtain a sufficient rectifying function.

The present invention is intended to solve such a problem, and it is an object of the present invention to collect rainwater and improve drainage performance to maximize the performance of eaves gutters. The purpose is to provide a drainage structure.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the drainage structure of a water collector of the present invention collects rainwater from a pair of eaves gutters arranged facing each other and drops the rainwater vertically downward. In what is drained, at the central position between the pair of eaves gutters, a partition plate for partitioning the pair of eaves gutters is erected, and a guide plate is provided between the partition plate and each of the eaves gutters. Each is set upright, and the upper end of each guide plate is smoothly bent toward the eaves gutter side.

The partition plate and each guide plate may be integrally fixed.

[0009]

In the drainage structure of the water collector of the present invention described above, first, since the rainwater flowing into the water collector from the pair of eaves gutters facing each other is partitioned by the partition plate, the rainwater is smoothly collected without collision. It will flow into the drain of the water container. In addition, rainwater from each eaves gutter flows into the drain port while being rectified along the guide plates standing on both sides of the partition plate.

Further, by integrally fixing the partition plate and each guide plate, the structure of the present invention can be easily prepared by only inserting the structure into the water collector.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The drainage structure of a water collector as an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side sectional view thereof, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the drainage structure, and FIG. ) 、
(b) is the top view and side view which respectively show the drainage structure.

As shown in FIG. 1, a pair of left and right eaves troughs 1 and 1 are arranged to face each other at an upper end opening 2a of a water collector 2 of this embodiment so that rainwater from each eaves trough 1 is collected. It is designed to be dropped into the water container 2 for water collection and drainage.

Further, in the water collector 2 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG.
And the drainage structure 6 configured as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) is inserted. This drainage structure 6 is erected at a central position between a pair of eaves troughs 1, 1 and a partition plate 3 for partitioning the pair of eaves troughs 1, 1 from each other, and this partition plate 3 and each eaves trough 1
The guide plates 4 and 4 which are erected between and are connected by a connecting member 5 and integrally fixed.

Here, the upper end height position of the partition plate 3 is set to the water level when the amount of rainwater flowing through the eaves gutter 1 becomes maximum, as shown by the chain line in FIG. Four
The standing position of is set substantially in the middle of the partition plate 3 and the maximum diameter side wall of the drain port 2b of the water collector 2.

The height of each guide plate 4 is set to about 1/2 to 1/3 of that of the partition plate 3 erected at the center, and the upper end 4a of each guide plate 4 is It is bent smoothly toward the eaves gutter 1 side.

With the above structure, when the amount of water in the eaves gutter 1 is small due to a relatively small amount of rainfall, the rainwater from each eaves gutter 1 is guided to the guide plate 4 as shown by an arrow A in FIG. -While being rectified, it smoothly flows into the drain port 2b of the water collector 2.

On the other hand, when the amount of water in the eaves gutter 1 is large due to a large amount of rainfall, as shown by the arrow B in FIG. 1, the rainwater from each eaves gutter 1 collects above the guide plates 4. Although it flows into the water collector 2, it does not collide because it is partitioned by the partition plate 3 at this time, and the inflow is smoothly performed into the water collector 2.
At the same time, the rainwater from each eaves gutter 1 flows into the drain while being rectified along the guide plates 4 standing on both sides of the partition plate 3.

Further, even if foreign matter such as dead leaves is mixed into rainwater and flows into the water collector 2, it can be locked by the partition plate 3 and each guide plate 4 or by a small foreign matter. If so, the suction force acts according to the flow velocity, so that the water collecting and draining functions of the water collector 2 are not hindered.

As described above, according to the drainage structure of the present embodiment, the rectification and collection of rainwater is surely performed and the drainage performance is greatly improved, so that the performance of the eaves gutter 1 can be maximized. Besides, by using the drainage structure 6 in which the partition plate 3 and each guide plate 4 are integrally fixed, the structure of the present invention can be easily achieved by simply inserting the structure 6 into the water collector 2. There is also an advantage that can be created and realized.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and is included in the scope of the present invention even if the design is changed without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0021]

As described in detail above, according to the drainage structure of the water collector of the present invention, the partition plate is erected at the central position between the pair of eaves gutters, and the partition plate and each eaves gutter are connected to each other. A guide plate is installed between the eaves and the upper end of each guide plate is smoothly bent toward the eaves gutter side, so the rainwater flowing from the eaves gutter into the water collector can be separated by the partition plate. In addition to smoothly flowing into the drainage outlet of the water collector without collision, it also flows into the drainage outlet while being rectified along the guide plate, so rainwater is rectified and collected reliably, and drainage performance is greatly improved. It has the effect of maximizing the performance of the eaves gutter.

Further, by integrally fixing the partition plate and the guide plate, there is an effect that the structure of the present invention can be easily produced and realized only by inserting the structure into the water collector.
