Abstract

A gate trap is a structure equipped with a gate (sluice gate) that blocks bad odors and bugs rising from the drain. The basic trap structure allows water to accumulate inside, preventing odors and pests. However, due to various factors inside the pipe, water, which plays an important role in the trap, may be lost. In order to actively solve this problem, the gate trap was designed to prevent water loss due to air pressure inside the pipe by installing a gate (sluice gate). In addition, since there is a gate that blocks the trap from the outside even if there is no water inside, it effectively blocks bad odors coming from the drain. The gate is composed of a stainless steel hinge and opens and closes under water pressure. Because the stainless steel plate acts as a hinge, it opens from the inside to the outside even with a small amount of water usage, and it also has a structure that does not open from the outside to the inside, preventing odors from entering the inside. Gate traps are like sluice gates in a dam, managing water and protecting it from being lost to the outside.

Description

gate trap

This is a detachable trap that effectively blocks odors and pests coming out of each home's drains. It is related to the role of helping drain the drain by blocking the inside and outside by using the draining water as a medium and facilitating the flow of water.

If there is a drain, you cannot be free from bad smells and bugs. In particular, places where people live have a lot of foul odors near drains. This is why a detachable trap is needed that effectively blocks bad odors and prevents bugs coming up from pipes. This gate trap has Korean application number/date 2020010017636 (2001.06.13) by moving the position of the opening/closing plate (patent number 106) of the above patent to the inside of the center of the body rather than the outside of the body, thereby expanding the opening/closing range and providing efficient drainage. It was induced. In addition, the lower guide of the above patent (patent code 109) was deleted and unified into the main body.

Gate traps can be opened and closed smoothly even in narrow pipes because the opening/closing plate (gate) rises from bottom to top inside the center of the trap when opening and closing. Since the opening/closing plate (gate) moves down from top to bottom when closed, it eliminates odor coming from the pipe. It can be prevented. The above patent induces opening and closing of the opening and closing plate with a coil spring (patent number 113), but the gate trap induces opening and closing by acting as a hinge of a stainless steel pin, and positions the opening and closing plate so that it can automatically open with drained water and close with the force of gravity. It was installed diagonally inside the center.

The gate trap has two outlets (code 8), so a drain separator (code 104) is installed to distribute the water from the center to both sides to prevent interference when discharging through both outlets.

Republic of Korea Application Number/Date 2020010017636 (2001.06.13)

The basic detachable trap is designed to block the air from the inside and outside to remove bad odors. However, this trap focused on using the beacon water as much as possible and preventing its loss. Actually inside and outside

Because the role of blocking the beacon water is to find a way to maintain the beacon water for as long as possible after draining, a gate (code 11) was installed to effectively maintain the beacon water for a long time. Inside the pipe, pressure is generated as water flows in and out. Products whose sealing water is exposed to the outside in such a state may lose sealing water. To make up for such problems, a gate was installed, and in order to further complement the opening/closing plate of the above patent (Korean Application Number/Date 2020010017636 (2001.06.13)) and increase the speed of drainage, the lower guide (patent number 109 above) was integrated into the main body and a drain was installed. The flow rate within the trap can be increased by installing a separator (code 104).

A gate was installed so that the water, which is an important element of the trap, can be maintained for a long time. The gate is fixed to the main body fixing hinge with a stainless steel pin to encourage smooth rotation. Even when there is no water, the gate (code 11) blocks the outside and prevents bad odors and bugs coming from the drain. Since the gate trap itself forms a P-type trap, it is used in combination with the gate to induce two blocking effects.

Drains installed from old pipes are always the main culprit of bad odors. By installing a gate trap at the entrance of the drain coming into the interior, you can block bad odors and prevent pests coming through the pipes.

This invention will be explained using drawings. stand in the drain

The installed gate trap acts as a filter to filter out foreign substances from the strainer (code 1) where the waste water first reaches. Drainage that passes through the strainer (code 1) enters the water passage (code 103) of the gate trap body. Drainage collected in the water passage (code 103) reaches the lower part of the gate trap (code 6), and due to the hemispherical shape, the water spreads in all directions. Drainage proceeds from the outlet (code 8), and the gate (code 11) opens due to water pressure. The hinge function of the gate (code 11) is that the stainless steel pin (code 9) passing through the gate hinge (code 10) is fixed to the gate trap hinge (code 7), allowing only the gate (code 11) to rotate. As a result, it is easily opened using only the pressure of the water, allowing the water inside to be discharged. At the end of draining, the gate slowly descends from top to bottom by the force of gravity and acts as a barrier between the inside and the outside. The upper and lower parts of the gate trap (code 5, 6) form a trap with a water passage (code 103) and a seal water outflow prevention berm (code 105) to fill the seal water and block odors inside the pipe. The seal water used here is not lost. The gate (symbol 11) prevents this. The gate (code 11) has its own gate hump (code 12), which acts as a weight and helps it come down on its own when the water drains. The inclination of the gate (symbol 11) is installed within an acute angle from the hinge horizontal axis (see Figure 5), and the gate trap hinge is installed on the hinge vertical axis (see Figure 5) spaced apart from the outer diameter of the trap by the hinge distance (within 1/2 of the trap diameter). A stand (code 7) is installed to allow airtight contact with the top and bottom of the gate trap (code 5, 6) diagonally.

In particular, since the stainless steel pin (code 9) used in the hinge is installed on the outside, it is naturally free from water contamination and is less likely to be caught by foreign substances. Since the size of the drain pipe varies, an extension (code 2) was prepared to suit it, and an extension (code 2) was installed at the top of the gate trap (code 5) to maintain airtightness when connected. A silicon O-ring groove (code 4) is installed so that a silicon O-ring (code 102) can be inserted. Then, the two members can maintain airtightness to block external odors, and the expanded gate trap can be installed in pipes of various sizes, saving resources.

This gate trap has a structure that blocks external odors and insects by allowing water to accumulate inside and uses the water as a medium to actively utilize the gate (code 11) to protect the water. A drainage separator (code 104) is installed at the bottom of the gate trap (code 6) to smoothly distribute the flow of water to both sides. Since the drain trap is always exposed to contamination, the strainer (code 1) is detachable to remove foreign substances inside, improving user convenience. The gate trap was named gate trap based on the word gate (GATE), which means water gate, to create a trap that traps and releases water like a dam's floodgate and protects the beacon water from external factors.

It can be installed in drains at homes or businesses, and is effective in removing bad odors from old drains, so it has great industrial benefits.

Claims (7)

The gate trap body is structured so that the gate can be installed diagonally. It has a slanted surface so that the gate can be installed diagonally. The surface is parallel to the line inclined as much as the inclination (within an acute angle) at the point where the hinge horizontal axis (waist part of the trap) and the hinge vertical axis (within 1/2 of the trap diameter from the trap outer diameter) meet is the bottom surface of the gate (symbol 11). The outlet (symbol 8), which coincides with (refer to Figure 4) and serves as a place for drainage, is tilted at an angle (within an acute angle) from the horizontal axis of the hinge, so that water accumulates and the overflowing part is taken out. The trap body has a seal (which collects water), and the hemispherical shape at the bottom and the drainage separator (code 104) naturally induce the flow of fluid when the water is taken out. There is a dedicated space at the top of the main body for attaching and detaching the strainer. In addition, the gate trap has an expansion structure to match the size of the drain. It has a wing (symbol 3) that can be connected to the extension and also has a groove into which a silicone O-ring can be inserted to seal it. The main body is a P trap, and it is a trap body that utilizes a gate to prevent water from being lost and is structured to effectively block external odors and pests.
The gate (opening/closing plate) serves to block the inside and outside. There is a hump on the top of the gate to prevent the gate from sticking to the main body due to excessive water flowing in.
It also acts as a weight, helping the gate rise when the water is discharged and lowering the gate when the water is discharged. The gate has a hole into which its own stainless steel pin can be inserted, so it can naturally function as a hinge. It manages the sealing water inside the trap and also serves to block the inside and outside even when there is no sealing water. The gate opens with the force of water accumulating inside the trap and closes on its own when there is no more water supply. The gate trap body has a hinge fixed to the outside of the body, making it resistant to water. Since the drained water is characterized by a lot of contaminated water, the hinge is mounted on the outside to protect against water contamination. The stainless steel pin that goes into the gate trap hinge is made of metal and allows the gate to naturally go up and down with a small force as it rotates. The gate trap has two members that can be connected by a main body fixing bar (code 106) and a main body fixing hole (code 107) to connect the upper and lower parts of the gate trap, thereby unifying the trap that serves to confine the water. The place where the gate hinge (code 10) is connected to the gate trap hinge (code 7) forms an inclination (within an acute angle) from the horizontal axis of the hinge and is joined with a stainless steel pin at a location where the hinge distance is within 1/2 of the outer diameter of the trap. (Refer to Figure 4) The drain separator (code 104), which plays the role of guiding the drainage coming down from the water passage (code 103) to both outlets (code 8), increases the flow rate by directing water to both outlets without entangling it inside the trap.
