Conventionally, various devices for cleaning such drainage recesses have been proposed.
For example, the following Patent Document 1 discloses an idea about a “sink drain trap”, in which a spray nozzle (5) is attached to a cylinder (3a) that accommodates a net cage (9) for containing garbage, When the user presses the operating button of the switching device (7b) provided in the cabinet of the sink connected to the hot water supply pipe (1b), the electromagnetic valve (7a) is opened to inject hot water from the spray nozzle (5), It is disclosed that a strong swirling flow of hot water is formed in the cylinder (3a) to clean and eliminate filth.
 また下記特許文献2には、排水用凹部を構成する排水装置本体(1)内の排水トラップ(3)近傍において、給水源に連通する洗浄ノズル(7)を斜め下向きに複数配置し、それら洗浄ノズル(7)から、水道分岐管(13)からの水を噴射して封水に渦流を発生させ、封水部(6)内の厨芥垢類を除去するようになした点が開示されている。 Further, in Patent Document 2 below, a plurality of cleaning nozzles (7) communicating with a water supply source are arranged obliquely downward in the vicinity of a drain trap (3) in a drainage device main body (1) that constitutes a drain recess.

 以上のように本発明の一態様は、水受槽の排水用凹部の内部に回転羽根を設けて、給水管から吐水口までの給水流路の流れの力を駆動力として回転羽根を回転駆動し、水栓の吐水口からの吐水即ち給水により排水用凹部内に流れ込んだ排水に対し回転羽根の回転の力を作用させて、凹部内を洗浄する洗浄水流を生じさせるようにしたものである。 As described above, according to one aspect of the present invention, a rotating blade is provided in the drain recess of the water receiving tank, and the rotating blade is driven to rotate using the force of the flow of the water supply passage from the water supply pipe to the water discharge port as a driving force. Rotating blades act on the drainage that flows into the drainage recess by water discharged from the faucet spout, that is, water supply, thereby generating a cleaning water flow for cleaning the inside of the recess.
 本発明の一態様において、排水用凹部内の回転羽根は自身に排水の流れが当ることによって回転するのではなく、給水管から吐水口までの給水流路の流れの力を駆動力として強制的に回転駆動されるため、排水用凹部内に強い洗浄水流を生じさせることができ、排水用凹部内を効果高く洗浄することが出来る特長を有する。 In one aspect of the present invention, the rotating blades in the drainage recess are not rotated by the flow of the drainage against themselves, but the force of the flow of the water supply flow path from the water supply pipe to the water discharge port is forcibly used as the driving force. Therefore, a strong washing water flow can be generated in the drain recess, and the drain recess can be effectively cleaned.
 本発明の一態様では、吐水口から吐水を行うと回転羽根が回転して自動的に排水用凹部内を洗浄する。
 従って使用者は排水用凹部内を洗浄するための特別の操作を行う必要は無いので、洗浄のために手間を要するといったことが無く、洗浄のための負担は使用者には掛からない。
 即ち本発明の一態様では、使用者が洗浄をしようとする意識をもたなくても、水栓を使用すれば自動的に回転羽根が回って排水用凹部内が洗浄される。
In one aspect of the present invention, when water is discharged from the water outlet, the rotary blades rotate to automatically clean the inside of the drain recess.
Therefore, since the user does not need to perform a special operation for cleaning the inside of the drain recess, there is no need for labor for cleaning, and the user is not burdened with cleaning.
That is, in one aspect of the present invention, even if the user is not conscious of cleaning, if the faucet is used, the rotating blades automatically rotate to clean the inside of the drain recess.
 また本発明の一態様では、シンク等の水受槽で水栓を用いて水作業をすると、その排水自体が洗浄水流となって凹部内を洗浄するため、従来の装置のように上水を洗浄のみのためにだけ吐水する場合と比べて、水を洗浄のためだけに使用してしまうといったことがなく、節水を図ることができる。 Moreover, in one aspect of the present invention, when the water operation is performed using a faucet in a water receiving tank such as a sink, the drainage itself becomes a cleaning water flow to clean the inside of the recess. Compared with the case of discharging water only for cleaning, water is not used only for cleaning, and water can be saved.
 本発明の一態様では回転羽根を複数設けておくことが望ましいが、場合によって回転羽根を1つだけ設けておくといったことも可能である。
 また回転羽根の回転により、渦流ないし旋回流を洗浄水流として発生させることができるが、その他様々の洗浄水流を生じさせることで凹部内を洗浄するように構成することもできる。
In one embodiment of the present invention, it is desirable to provide a plurality of rotating blades, but in some cases, it is possible to provide only one rotating blade.
In addition, a swirl flow or a swirl flow can be generated as a cleaning water flow by the rotation of the rotating blades, but it is also possible to clean the inside of the recess by generating various other cleaning water flows.
 本発明の一態様では、排水用凹部の底部に排水口を設け、回転羽根を、回転軸線が排水口の内側で上下方向に延在し、少なくとも上端を排水用凹部における底面の、排水口周りの縁部よりも高い位置に配置することができる。 In one aspect of the present invention, a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the drain recess, the rotary blade extends in the vertical direction inside the drain port, and at least the upper end is the bottom of the drain recess around the drain port. It can arrange | position in a position higher than the edge part.
 本発明の上記態様において、排水用凹部内の回転羽根は、上記のようにこれに衝突する水流の勢いで回転するのではなく、他部で発生した駆動力、具体的には給水管から吐水口までの給水流路の流れによって発生した駆動力にて強制的に回転駆動される。
 この場合、排水用凹部内で強制駆動で回転する、上記のように配置した回転羽根は、シンク等の水受槽の底部から排水用凹部内に流れ込み、更にその排水用凹部の底部を排水口に向って流れる排水の流れに対して抵抗体として働く。
In the above aspect of the present invention, the rotating blades in the drain recess are not rotated by the force of the water flow impinging on the rotating blades as described above, but are driven from the driving force generated in other parts, specifically from the water supply pipe. It is forcibly driven to rotate by the driving force generated by the flow of the water supply passage to the water inlet.
In this case, the rotary blades arranged as described above that rotate by forced drive in the drain recess flow into the drain recess from the bottom of the water receiving tank such as a sink, and further use the bottom of the drain recess as a drain outlet. Acts as a resistor against the flow of waste water flowing in the direction.
 即ち強制駆動で回転する回転羽根は、排水用凹部の周壁を伝って流下し、更にその底部を経て排水口に、その周りから流れ込もうとする排水に対し、自身を回転方向に当て、排水口に向う流れに抵抗を与えて流れを阻害するように作用するとともに、更に加えて自身の回転による遠心力をその流れに作用させ、排水口に向おうとする水の流れを逆方向、即ち排水口から遠ざかる方向に押し返し、その作用によって排水口周りに水を滞留させる。
 のみならずこの回転羽根は、その滞留した水に対して自身の回転による遠心力の作用で撹拌作用を及ぼしつつ渦流等の洗浄水流、詳しくは排水用凹部内を洗浄する洗浄水流を生じさせる。
In other words, the rotating blades that rotate by forced drive flow down along the peripheral wall of the drain recess, and further contact the drain in the rotation direction against the drain that is about to flow into the drain through the bottom. It acts to impede the flow by resisting the flow toward the mouth, and in addition, the centrifugal force due to its rotation acts on the flow to reverse the flow of water toward the drain, that is, drainage. It pushes back in the direction away from the mouth, and the action causes water to stay around the drainage mouth.
In addition to this, the rotating blades generate a washing water flow such as a vortex flow, specifically a washing water flow for washing the inside of the drainage recessed portion while stirring the retained water by the action of centrifugal force due to its rotation.
 発生した洗浄水流は排水用凹部の内面に勢い良く当って、その内面に付着した、ヌメリに至る前の菌とその栄養分や油分その他の汚れを除去し、同内面を洗浄する。
 また排水用凹部内にごみ籠が収容されている場合には、同じくその洗浄水流をごみ籠の主として下面を含む外面に当てて、これを洗浄する。
The generated cleaning water stream strikes the inner surface of the concave portion for drainage, removes the bacteria before reaching the slime, the nutrients, oil and other dirt attached to the inner surface, and cleans the inner surface.
In addition, when the garbage is stored in the drain recess, the cleaning water flow is also applied to the outer surface including the lower surface of the garbage to clean it.
 本発明では給水流路に水車を設けて、その水車に水車側磁石を一体回転状態に設けるとともに、水車側磁石に対し隔壁で隔てた位置に回転羽根と一体回転する羽根側磁石を設けて、水車側と回転羽根の側とを磁気カップリングさせ、水車による駆動力を回転羽根に伝達して回転羽根を回転させることができる。 In the present invention, a water wheel is provided in the water supply channel, and a water wheel side magnet is provided in the water wheel in an integrally rotating state, and a blade side magnet that rotates integrally with the rotary blade is provided at a position separated from the water wheel side magnet by a partition wall, The water wheel side and the rotating blade side can be magnetically coupled, and the driving force from the water wheel can be transmitted to the rotating blade to rotate the rotating blade.
 本発明の一態様ではまた、上記回転羽根の形状を、回転軸線を中心として半径方向に直線状に延びる形状とすることができる。
 ここで半径方向とは、回転軸線を中心とする円に対する半径方向を意味する。
 このようにすれば、回転羽根の回転により、排水に対し効果的に遠心力を及ぼすことができ、渦流等の洗浄水流を効果的に生じさせることができる。
In one embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the rotary blade may be a shape extending linearly in the radial direction with the rotation axis as the center.
Here, the radial direction means a radial direction with respect to a circle around the rotation axis.
If it does in this way, centrifugal force can be effectively exerted with respect to waste water by rotation of a rotary blade, and cleaning water flow, such as a vortex, can be produced effectively.
 本発明の上記態様においては、回転羽根の回転により、排水用凹部の底部から排水口に向う水の流れに対し効果的に抵抗を与えることができるとともに、回転による遠心力を排水に対して効果的に及ぼして排水を排水口から遠ざかる方向に押し返し、排水口周りに滞留水を生じさせ且つその滞留水にて洗浄水流を効果的に生じさせることができる。 In the above aspect of the present invention, the rotation of the rotary blades can effectively provide resistance to the flow of water from the bottom of the drainage recess to the drainage port, and the centrifugal force due to the rotation is effective against the drainage. Therefore, the drainage can be pushed back in the direction away from the drainage port to generate stagnant water around the drainage port and to effectively generate a washing water flow with the stagnant water.
 本発明では、排水用凹部を、底部に排水口を有する上側の第1の排水用凹部と、排水トラップを構成する下側の第2の排水用凹部とを有するものとなし、第2の排水用凹部内に封水に回転力を与える回転羽根を設けておくことができる。
 このようにすれば、封水に洗浄水流を生じさせて第2の排水用凹部の内面を洗浄することができるとともに、封水の上面に浮いた浮遊物の第2の排水用凹部や排水管への固着を避けることができる。

 排水ボウル32の内部に配置された上記の羽根車88は、図5A,5B,5Cに示しているように中心部にハブ130を、外周部に円形のドーナツ環状の板状部132を有し、それらの間に開口134を形成している。
 また中心部のハブ130と外周部の板状部132とは、アーム136にて連結されている。

 外周部の板状部132は、図5Bに示しているように中心側から外周側に向かって上向きに傾斜した形状をなしている。その板状部132の下側において、側面形状及び正面形状が三角形状をなす回転羽根138が、周方向に沿って一定間隔毎に複数設けられている。
 回転羽根138は、羽根車88の中心側から放射方向に即ち半径方向に直線状に延びる形状とされている。
 板状部132の内周側の付根部は全周に亘り板状部132の他部よりも厚肉に構成されており、その厚肉部140が、図5Cに示しているようにアーム136とともに下向きに突出している。

 このハブ130には、図5Bに示しているように下向きに開口した嵌込孔142が設けられており、そこに上記の回転シャフト86の上端部が圧入嵌合され、羽根車88が回転シャフト86と一体に回転するようになっている。
The hub 130 protrudes further downward than these thick portions 140.
As shown in FIG. 5B, the hub 130 is provided with a fitting hole 142 that opens downward, and the upper end of the rotary shaft 86 is press-fitted into the hub 130, and the impeller 88 is connected to the rotary shaft. 86 and rotate together.
 図2及び図3に示しているように、羽根車88は排水ボウル32における排水口62の真上位置に配置されており、羽根車88に備えられた複数の回転羽根138のそれぞれが、排水ボウル32における底部60の上面(底面)、詳しくは底面における排水口62周りの縁部60aよりも全体的に高い位置に配置されている。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the impeller 88 is disposed at a position directly above the drain outlet 62 in the drain bowl 32, and each of the plurality of rotary blades 138 provided in the impeller 88 is drained. The upper surface (bottom surface) of the bottom portion 60 in the bowl 32, specifically, the bottom surface 60 is disposed at a position generally higher than the edge portion 60 a around the drain outlet 62.
 この実施形態では、使用者が水栓12のレバーハンドル20を操作して吐水口18から吐水し水作業を行うと、吐水口18から吐水された水即ち給水された水はシンク10にて受けられて、シンク10の底部30から図6A,6Bに示しているように排水ボウル32の内部へと排水される。 In this embodiment, when the user operates the lever handle 20 of the faucet 12 to discharge water from the water outlet 18 and perform water work, the water discharged from the water outlet 18, that is, the supplied water is received by the sink 10. Then, the water is drained from the bottom 30 of the sink 10 into the drain bowl 32 as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B.
 このときシンク10の底部30を流れた水(排水)は、排水ボウル32の周壁部59の内面を伝って流下し、排水ボウル32の底部60へと至る。
 底部60に至った排水は、その底部60に沿って排水口62に向う流れとなり、その流れが排水口62周りの全周から排水口62に向って求心方向に流れ込もうとする(その際に排水の流れは排水口62周りの全周から排水口62に向う求心方向の流れとなるために、その流れは羽根車88即ち回転羽根138を特定の一方向に回転させる力としては働かない)。
At this time, the water (drainage) flowing through the bottom 30 of the sink 10 flows down along the inner surface of the peripheral wall 59 of the drainage bowl 32 and reaches the bottom 60 of the drainage bowl 32.
The drainage that has reached the bottom portion 60 flows toward the drainage port 62 along the bottom portion 60, and the flow tries to flow in the centripetal direction from the entire circumference around the drainage port 62 toward the drainage port 62 (in that case). In addition, since the flow of drainage is a centripetal flow from the entire circumference around the drainage port 62 toward the drainage port 62, the flow does not work as a force for rotating the impeller 88, that is, the rotary blade 138 in one specific direction. ).
 このとき排水ボウル32内の羽根車88は、配管24内の給水流路の流れの力を駆動力として既に強制的に回転駆動されている。
 そのため排水ボウル32内の排水が底部60に沿って排水口62に流れ込もうとしたときに、強制駆動で回転する羽根車88の回転羽根138が、その排水の流れに対して回転方向に当り、排水口62に向う排水の流れの抵抗となって排水口62への流入を抑制する。
At this time, the impeller 88 in the drainage bowl 32 has already been forcibly rotated by using the force of the flow of the water supply passage in the pipe 24 as a driving force.
Therefore, when the drainage in the drainage bowl 32 is about to flow into the drainage port 62 along the bottom portion 60, the rotating blade 138 of the impeller 88 that rotates by force driving hits the rotation direction against the flow of the drainage. , It becomes the resistance of the flow of the waste water toward the drain port 62 and suppresses the inflow to the drain port 62.
 回転羽根138は、その流れの抵抗体となるのみならず、自身の回転による遠心力を排水の流れに作用させて、図6A,6Bに示しているように排水を排水口62から遠ざかる方向に押し返し、その作用によって排水口62周りに排水を滞留させる。
 のみならず回転羽根138は、その滞留水に対し遠心力を働かせることで、撹拌作用を及ぼしつつ渦流等の洗浄水流を生じさせる。
The rotating blade 138 not only acts as a resistance to the flow, but also causes the centrifugal force due to its rotation to act on the flow of the drainage so that the drainage moves away from the drain port 62 as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B. By pushing back, the drainage is retained around the drainage port 62 by the action.
Not only the rotating blade 138 applies a centrifugal force to the staying water, but also generates a washing water flow such as a vortex while stirring.
 発生した洗浄水流は排水ボウル32の内面に勢い良く当って、その内面に付着した、ヌメリに至る前の菌とその栄養分や油分その他の汚れを除去し、排水ボウル32の内面を洗浄する。
 併せて発生した洗浄水流はごみ籠42の外面、主としてその下面に当って、そこに付着した汚れを併せて除去し、洗浄作用する。
The generated cleaning water stream strikes the inner surface of the drain bowl 32, removes the bacteria before reaching the slime, the nutrients, oils and other dirt attached to the inner surface, and cleans the inner surface of the drain bowl 32.
The cleaning water flow generated at the same time hits the outer surface of the garbage basket 42, mainly the lower surface thereof, and removes the dirt adhering to the outer surface of the garbage basket 42 to perform a cleaning action.
 洗浄後の水は、その後その一部が羽根車88の回転継続中に排水口62を経て排水トラップ34内に流入し、或いは水栓12からの給水停止によってその全体が排水口62から排水トラップ34へと流入し、更に続いて横向きの排水口58から排水管50内に流れ出て、排水管50を通じ外部に排出される。 A part of the washed water then flows into the drain trap 34 through the drain port 62 while the impeller 88 continues to rotate, or the entire water trap from the drain port 62 by stopping the water supply from the faucet 12. 34, and then flows into the drain pipe 50 from the lateral drainage port 58 and is discharged to the outside through the drain pipe 50.
 回転羽根138による排水の押し返しの量が過剰になると、押し返された排水が排水ボウル32からシンク10の底部30側に溢れてしまう恐れがあるが、本実施形態では滞留水が過剰になったときには、その過剰な滞留水が羽根車88の開口134を通じて排水口62内に流出できるため、羽根車88周りに過剰な滞留水が生じて、その排水が羽根車88による遠心力の作用でシンク10の底部30側に溢れる現象を良好に防ぐことができる。 If the amount of pushing back the drainage by the rotary blade 138 becomes excessive, the pushed back drainage may overflow from the drainage bowl 32 to the bottom 30 side of the sink 10, but in this embodiment, the accumulated water becomes excessive. In some cases, the excessive stagnant water can flow into the drain outlet 62 through the opening 134 of the impeller 88, so that excessive stagnant water is generated around the impeller 88 and the drainage is sinked by the action of centrifugal force by the impeller 88. The phenomenon of overflowing to the bottom 30 side of 10 can be prevented satisfactorily.
 本実施形態ではまた、回転シャフト86の回転とともに、排水トラップ34の底部に設けられた回転羽根94が回転して、封水48にその回転の力を作用させ、封水48に渦流等の洗浄水流を生じさせ、外筒36の内面,内筒46の外面等を洗浄作用する。
 またこのとき封水48が内筒46周りに旋回流を生じるため、封水48の上面に浮遊していた油分その他の浮遊物が、排水口58を形成している堰58aを乗り越えて排水管50内に円滑に排出される。
In the present embodiment, as the rotary shaft 86 rotates, the rotary blade 94 provided at the bottom of the drain trap 34 rotates to cause the rotational force to act on the sealed water 48, thereby cleaning the sealed water 48 for eddy currents and the like. A water flow is generated to clean the inner surface of the outer cylinder 36, the outer surface of the inner cylinder 46, and the like.
At this time, since the sealed water 48 generates a swirling flow around the inner cylinder 46, the oil and other floating substances floating on the upper surface of the sealed water 48 get over the weir 58 a forming the drain port 58 and drain the pipe. 50 is smoothly discharged.
 その際、図7に示す排水路144の中心軸線が、排水トラップ34における外筒36の周壁に対して直角の向きをなしていると、封水48の上面に浮遊した浮遊物のうち排水口58に近い側の浮遊物は、排水口58から排水管50内に、つまり排水路144内に比較的流出し易いが、これとは周方向に180°隔たった位置の封水48上の浮遊物は排水口58の位置まで内筒46周りを移動し難く、従って排水口58を通過して排水路144内に円滑に流出し難いが、この実施形態では、図7に示すように排水路144の中心軸線が外筒36の周壁に対し斜めに交差するように排水路144が設けられているため、詳しくは排水路144内面と外筒36内面との接続部分が、外筒36内面の接線方向ないしこれに近い方向に延びているため、排水口58とは周方向に180°隔たった位置の浮遊物もまた、良好に排水口58へと導かれて排水口58から排水路144を通じ流出することができ、外筒34や排水管50への浮遊物の固着を避けることができる。 At that time, if the central axis of the drainage channel 144 shown in FIG. 7 is oriented at right angles to the peripheral wall of the outer cylinder 36 in the drainage trap 34, the drainage port out of the floating matter floating on the upper surface of the sealed water 48. Floating matter on the side close to 58 is relatively likely to flow out from the drain port 58 into the drain pipe 50, that is, into the drainage channel 144, but floats on the sealed water 48 at a position 180 ° apart in the circumferential direction. It is difficult for the object to move around the inner cylinder 46 to the position of the drainage port 58, and therefore it is difficult to smoothly flow out into the drainage channel 144 through the drainage port 58. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Since the drainage channel 144 is provided so that the central axis of 144 obliquely intersects the peripheral wall of the outer cylinder 36, the connecting portion between the inner surface of the drainage channel 144 and the inner surface of the outer cylinder 36 is more specifically the inner surface of the outer cylinder 36. Because it extends in the tangential direction or a direction close to this Floating matter at a position 180 ° apart from the drain port 58 in the circumferential direction can also be well guided to the drain port 58 and flow out from the drain port 58 through the drain channel 144, and the outer cylinder 34 and the drain pipe 50. It can avoid the sticking of the float to.
 以上のように本実施形態では、吐水口18から吐水を行うと回転羽根138が回転して自動的に排水ボウル32内を洗浄する。
 従って使用者は排水ボウル32内を洗浄するための特別の操作を行う必要は無いので、洗浄のために手間を要するといったことが無く、洗浄のための負担は使用者には掛からない。
 即ち本実施形態では、使用者が洗浄をしようとする意識をもたなくても、水栓を使用すれば自動的に回転羽根138が回って排水ボウル32内が洗浄される。
As described above, in this embodiment, when water is discharged from the water discharge port 18, the rotary blade 138 rotates and the inside of the drain bowl 32 is automatically cleaned.
Accordingly, since the user does not need to perform a special operation for cleaning the inside of the drain bowl 32, there is no need for labor for cleaning, and the user is not burdened with cleaning.
That is, in this embodiment, even if the user is not conscious of cleaning, if the water tap is used, the rotary blade 138 automatically rotates and the inside of the drain bowl 32 is cleaned.
 また本実施形態では、シンク10で水栓12を用いて水作業をすると、その排水自体が洗浄水流となって排水ボウル32内を洗浄するため、従来の装置のように上水を洗浄のみのためにだけ吐水する場合と比べて、水を洗浄のためだけに使用してしまうといったことがなく、節水を図ることができる。 Moreover, in this embodiment, when water work is performed using the faucet 12 in the sink 10, the drainage itself becomes a washing water flow to wash the inside of the drainage bowl 32, so that only the clean water is washed as in the conventional apparatus. Compared with the case of discharging water only for the purpose, water is not used only for cleaning, and water can be saved.
 本発明において、排水ボウル32内の回転羽根の形状は、他の様々な形状とすることが可能である。
 図8はその一例を示している。
 この例では、回転羽根138が下向きに垂下しておらず、斜め下方に傾斜した形状とされている。
 その他本発明では、回転羽根が排水をスプリンクラーの様に吹き上げてごみ籠42に当て、これを洗浄するように回転羽根の形状を構成したり、或いは排水ボウル32の底部60を伝って排水口62に向い流れて来た水を回転羽根ですくい上げた上、これに遠心力を作用させるように構成するといったことも可能である。
 その他に回転羽根の形状については他の様々な形状とすることが可能である。
In the present invention, the shape of the rotary blade in the drain bowl 32 can be various other shapes.
FIG. 8 shows an example.
In this example, the rotary blade 138 does not hang downward but is inclined obliquely downward.
In addition, in the present invention, the rotary blade blows up the waste water like a sprinkler and applies it to the garbage bin 42, and forms the shape of the rotary blade so as to wash it, or it passes through the bottom 60 of the drain bowl 32 and the drain port 62. It is also possible to use a rotary blade to scoop up the water flowing in the direction of the water and to apply centrifugal force to this.
In addition, the rotary blades can have various other shapes.
 以上本発明の実施形態を詳述したがこれはあくまで一例示である。
 例えば本発明においては、場合によって回転羽根の下側の一部が排水ボウル32の底面の縁部60aよりも下側に位置するように回転羽根を構成するといったことの可能であるし、また排水ボウル32内の羽根車に直接円筒状の磁石を設ける一方、水車ハウジングを同じ高さ位置でその羽根車と同心状に外側に配置し、水車と羽根車とを回転シャフト86を経由しないで直接磁気カップリングさせるよう構成することも可能である。
