Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an assembled pool in which a plurality of plastic segments are connected to form an aquarium, and is used, for example, in kindergartens, homes, etc. In other words, the horizontal bottom wall 14
and an inverted U-shaped peripheral wall 15 that rises continuously from the horizontal bottom wall 14, and a horizontal edge of the horizontal bottom wall 14, and an inverted U-shaped edge of the peripheral wall 15 that is continuous with the horizontal edge. A groove 2 is integrally formed along the entire length of the edge 1 of the joint, and a plurality of bolt insertion holes 4 are formed in the joint flange plate 3 for forming the groove 2. plastic segment a
, a, a..., and bolts 5 and nuts 6 for fastening the abutted joint flange plates 3, 3, and in which the bottom plate 2 is connected to each segment a to form an aquarium 7. A single-sided adhesive waterproof sealing material 10 is interposed between each of the grooves 2 in which a discharge hole 8 is provided and a watertight column 9 is removably fitted into the groove 2, and the butt joint flange plates 3, 3 are provided.
and a plastic cover rail 11 which has a U-shape with a slightly widening cross-section and which covers the entire length of the adjacent concave grooves 2, 2 and is fitted into the grooves for installation.

Conventionally, various assembled pools in which a plurality of plastic segments are connected to form an aquarium have been known, and several means for joining each segment are also known.

In addition, the conventional joining means is formed at the joining edge of the segment, and when the segment consists of a bottom wall and an inverted U-shaped peripheral wall continuous to the bottom wall, the joining means is applied to the bottom wall end edge and to this. Of course, the continuous peripheral wall edge is a joint edge.

Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the joining edge 1 of each segment a
A concave groove 2 is formed along the joint flange plates 3, 3 are butted together via the rubber packing 12, and tightened with bolts 5 and nuts 6. A sealing material such as silicone sealant is applied along the butted upper edges. 13 is poured in and solidified, then,
There is a method in which a cover rail 11 is placed over the adjacent grooves 2, 2, and silicone sealants 13', 13' are further poured along both side edges and solidified.

However, although this conventional product has a great sealing effect that prevents water, mud, dirt, etc. from flowing into the groove, the silicone sealant has solidified, so it cannot be disassembled after assembly, which is the main purpose of this type of pool. It is extremely difficult to disassemble, store, and reassemble, and when reassembling, it takes time for the silicone sealant to harden, and the bolt must pass straight through the bolt by abutting the rubber gasket along the entire length of the joint flange plate. This requires skill and is extremely difficult to assemble easily, quickly and reliably.

This invention solves all of these disadvantages, and the structure of an embodiment will be explained in detail next.

Segments a, a, a... are made of FRP, and there are one for the ends and one for the middle part.

Segment a for the middle part has a horizontal bottom wall 14 and a horizontal bottom wall 1.
An inverted U-shaped peripheral wall 15 that rises continuously from both sides of 4,
15, and in addition to the segment a for the intermediate portion, the end segment a is formed by an inverted U-shaped peripheral wall 15 rising from the outer edge of the horizontal bottom wall 14.

Therefore, considering the shape of segment a, the joining edge 1 of each segment a is the horizontal edge of the horizontal bottom wall 14 and the inverted U-shaped edge of the peripheral wall 15 that is continuous with the horizontal edge, and these segments a , a, a..., the water tank 7 is formed.

A concave groove 2 is integrally formed on each joint edge 1 over the entire length,
A large number of bolt insertion holes 4 are bored at predetermined intervals in the joint flange plate 3 constituting the groove 2.

The structure up to this point is the same as the conventional example.

Discharge holes 8, 8 are provided at both ends of the bottom plate 2' of the concave groove 2, and watertight plugs 9, 9 are provided therein in a manner that they can be freely fitted and removed, and are made of a thick tape made of a closed foam material such as neoprene, for example. Moreover, waterproof sealing material 10 with adhesive applied only to one side
and a cover rail 11 for shielding a pair of adjacent grooves 2, 2 and for fitting and mounting.
is made of FRP into a F-shaped cross section with a slightly wider end (as shown in Figure 3), and the total length of the joint edge is 112 mm (as shown in Figure 1).
It is formed to have a length of , and is provided in pairs.

Since the cover rail 11 covers the groove 2 formed along the joint edge 1, it has a horizontal part and an inverted U-shaped part that rises continuously from the horizontal part, as shown in the fourth figure. Of course, it is more than that.

In addition, in the figure, 16 is a washer, 17 is a reinforcing beam installed in the longitudinal direction of the back surface of the bottom wall 14, 18 and 19 are drain holes and watertight plugs drilled into the bottom wall 14, 20 is a shower, This is a hygiene segment that incorporates an eyewash and footwash area.

Next, the method of assembling the embodiment of this invention will be explained.
One side of the waterproof sealing material 10 is pasted over the entire length of one joining flange plate 3, and the joining flange plate 3 of the adjacent segment a is brought into contact with the other surface of the waterproof sealing material 10.

After drilling holes with a drill or the like at bolt insertion positions in the waterproof sealing material 10, the bolts 5 are inserted into each bolt insertion hole 4 through the washers 16, 16, and the nuts 6 are tightened.

Thereafter, one pair of left and right cover rails 11.11 are placed facing each other and fitted into adjacent grooves 2.2 by 1n of the total length.

Here, the cover rails 11, 11 extend over the entire length of the joining edge, and since the cover rail 11 is made of plastic and has a U-shaped cross section with a slightly widening shape, when it is fitted into the grooves 2, 2, it will elastically fit into the grooves. It is fixed by pushing against the wall and will not come off.

Similarly, other segments a, a, . . . are connected.

In addition, in the pool assembled in this way, water tank 7
To drain the water inside, the watertight plug 19 is usually removed from the drainage hole 18 bored into the bottom wall 14 itself.

However, in this embodiment, since the joint portion of the cover rail 11 is not completely sealed, a small amount of water, mud, dirt, etc. may flow into the groove 2.

At this time, remove the cover rail 11, remove the watertight plug 9,
It is to be discharged from the discharge hole 8.

In this way, this invention eliminates the need to solidify both side edges of the cover rail and the upper edge of the rubber packing with a sealing material such as silicone sealant, and allows the horizontal edge and the continuous inverted U-shaped edge, that is, the joint edge. It has a cover rail that fits into adjacent grooves formed along its entire length, making it extremely easy to assemble, disassemble, store disassembled, and reassemble.

Furthermore, since this invention does not seal the cover rail as in the conventional case, it is not possible to achieve perfect watertightness between the cover rail and the segment. Since it is shaped like a letter, it has an elastic effect, and since it spans the entire length of the joint edge, it has a considerable watertight effect, preventing water from entering the groove.
There is very little mud, trash, etc.

In particular, the joint flange plate that forms the groove is tightened with bolts and nuts through a waterproof sealing material, and a watertight plug is fitted into the discharge hole provided in the bottom plate of the groove, so it is very convenient for swimming pools. Water does not leak outside and is sufficiently waterproof, and water, mud, dirt, etc. that enter the groove can be drained out by removing the watertight plug as necessary, keeping the pool sanitary. It is something that can be done.

In other words, if the cover rail itself is completely sealed, the assembly and
Since the workability of disassembly etc. is poor, although it is not completely sealed, it is possible to install the cover rail fairly reliably, and the workability of assembly and disassembly is also good. By accommodating the pool, water can be prevented from leaking outside the pool, and it can also be discharged if necessary.

In addition, since a one-sided adhesive sealant is interposed between the butt jointed flange plates, the waterproof sealant will be affixed to one of the joint flange plates, so that it will not shift when inserting the bolt. Bolts can be inserted straight, connections can be made securely, and work efficiency is high.
