Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a flood control device with direct sensing and control, more particularly to control the flood by using a float which will rise according to the flood water level.
  • the objective of the present invention is to control the flood in the most economical way and it can be installed anywhere in the shortest time possible.
  • Still another objective of the present invention is to protect human lives and prevent the properties either residential or commercial from damage. This is very important because it will provide a better environment for living and investment.
  • the flood can be controlled by combining the sensing and control together.
  • the flood can be controlled in more economical way without inventing heavily onto the metal or concrete structure like most of the flood control devices in the market.
  • the flood control device can be installed almost anywhere where it is required because it requires very little space.
  • FIG. 1 shows the front view of the flood control device.
  • FIG. 2 shows the flood barrier sheet ( 12 ) with rounded ball shape ( 19 ) protruding edge at 4 sides of the sheet and it will be fully secured from slip out due to pressure exerted from flood water by having compressed air filled flaps ( 17 ).
  • FIG. 3 shows the mechanism of operation for the flood control device which the float ( 20 ) is connected with the flood barrier sheet ( 12 ) with a cable ( 21 ) and guided by 4 gear rollers ( 22 ) and the flood barrier sheet ( 12 ) will be pulled up by the float ( 20 ) according to the flood water level ( 23 ).
  • FIG. 4 shows the side view of the flood control device focusing on the shaft ( 26 ) with hard rubber ring ( 28 ) which will be inserted into the groove ( 29 ) at the bottom piece ( 30 ) by pushing hard in order to have a perfect seal to avoid water from seeping through and it shows the flood control device is preventing from collapsing due to force of the flood water ( 27 ) by connecting the stand ( 24 ) with a metal structure ( 25 ).
  • a flood control device ( 10 ) comprises a base ( 11 ), a support frame ( 13 ) and flood barrier sheet ( 12 ).
  • the base ( 11 ) will be embedded into the ground ( 14 ). It serves as the main base of the flood control device ( 10 ) and it has the capability of accommodating a roller in order to roll in the flood barrier sheet ( 12 ).
  • the support frame ( 13 ) consists of a pair of poles ( 13 a , 13 b ) wherein the pair of poles ( 13 a, 13 b ) with its bottom portion ( 15 ) extended into the ground ( 14 ) and its upper portion upwardly extended to a predetermined height for receiving a transverse bar ( 13 c ). It serves as the major structure of the flood control device ( 10 ) where it holds the flood barrier sheet ( 12 ) in place by having a compressed air filled flap ( 17 ).
  • the flood barrier sheet ( 12 ) is made of PVC fabric or material which is tough, not easily torn, 100% waterproof and ability to withstand very high water pressure.
  • the flood barrier sheet ( 12 ) has its two side edges, top and bottom edges formed with round ends ( 19 ) where it will be hold by the compressed air filled flaps ( 17 ). This will prevent the flood barrier sheet ( 12 ) from slipping out due to pressure exerted from the flood water.
  • the flood barrier sheet ( 12 ) will have one end attached to the base ( 11 ) and the other end attached to the transverse bar ( 13 c ).
  • the flood barrier sheet ( 12 ) will be attached to the transverse bar by at least one holder ( 16 ).
  • the flood barrier sheet ( 12 ) is connected with a float ( 20 ) by a cable ( 21 ) which will be guided by four gear rollers ( 22 ).
  • the flood barrier sheet ( 12 ) will be pulled up by the float ( 20 ) according to the flood water level ( 23 ).
  • the cable ( 21 ) will be guided by the gear rollers ( 22 ) through the inner hollow part of the support frame ( 13 a ).
  • the support frame ( 13 ) can be installed by having a shaft ( 26 ) with its end to be inserted into the hole of the bottom piece ( 30 ).
  • the shaft ( 26 ) end will have a hard rubber ring ( 28 ) which will be slotted perfectly with the groove ( 29 ) at the bottom piece ( 30 ).
  • the shaft ( 26 ) will be pushed hard so that the hard rubber ring ( 28 ) of the shaft ( 26 ) end will fit perfectly into the groove ( 29 ) at the bottom piece ( 30 ). This will prevent the flood water from seeping through.
  • the shaft ( 26 ) can be round, flat or any shape.
  • the bottom piece ( 30 ) can be made of hard rubber and it will be anchored securely onto the ground ( 32 ) with bolting ( 31 ).
  • the flood control device can be prevented from collapsing due to the force of the flood water by installing a stand ( 24 ) which will be anchored on the ground ( 32 ) and connecting to the support frame ( 13 ) with a metal structure ( 25 ).
