Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Field of Application> The present invention relates to a water collection basin that can be used for multiple types of gutters with different widths.

<Conventional Technology> The width of a conventional catchment basin is much wider than the width of a gutter.

Therefore, when a gutter is connected to a conventional catchment basin, a wide cover of the catchment basin protrudes in the width direction of the drainage channel in the middle of a row of narrow gutter covers on the ground surface.

〈Problem that the invention aims to solve〉 Even if there is a wide catchment in the middle of a row of narrow gutters, there will be no particular inconvenience to the function of the catchment, but in modern times where landscape is becoming more important, It is not aesthetically pleasing for the covers of wide catchment basins to protrude sideways from the rows of gutters, and it detracts from the aesthetics of parks, tennis courts, etc.

Furthermore, if the lid of the catchment basin protrudes laterally from the row of side gutters, the usable area is reduced by this protruding portion, making it impossible to utilize the space effectively.

In order to prevent the catch basins from protruding from the rows of gutters, it is possible to use catch basins with the same width as the gutters. However, in addition to the shape of the drainage channel, side gutters have a wide variety of widths. In addition, in order to allow rainwater collected from multiple side gutters to flow smoothly downstream, the catchment basins must be constructed to be wider than the side gutters so that they can handle a large amount of water. . For this reason, it is actually impossible to prepare several types of water collection basins with the same width as the gutter.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention was proposed in view of the above, and is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped having four side surfaces, and a pair of opposing side surfaces are formed with a connection port for connecting a gutter. A support part having the same height as the upper edge of the other side part is formed in the width direction of the side part at the upper part of the side part, and a main lid having a width corresponding to the width of the gutter is provided at the top opening. At the same time, an auxiliary lid having a width corresponding to the surplus part of the opening created when the main lid is covered is placed and supported by the support part, and the end of the surface material laid on the ground surface is covered with the auxiliary lid. It is placed over the top of the .

<Function> Even if the width of the connected gutter changes, the top surface of the catchment basin is covered by covering the main cover that matches the width of the gutter and the auxiliary cover covering the excess area, so the auxiliary cover does not touch the ground surface. The ends of the laid surface material can be covered. Therefore, the gutter appearing on the ground surface and the cover of the catchment basin appear to be the same width.

<Example> Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

The water collection basin 1 shown in FIG. 1 is constructed by stacking an upper basin 1b on a lower basin 1a, and the lower basin 1a has side parts 3a, 3b extending upward from each side of a rectangular bottom part 2,
3c, 3d, and a discharge port 4 is opened in the larger side surface 3a, and the upper cell 1b is located at a position where it is continuous with each side surface 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d of the lower cell 1a. It is a rectangular parallelepiped with an open top surface formed with four side surfaces 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d, and connection ports 6, 6 are formed in the opposing smaller side surfaces 5c and 5d, and the upper portions of the side surfaces 5c and 5d are Support portions 7, 7 whose upper edges are the same height as the upper edges of the larger side surfaces 5a, 5b are formed in the width direction of the side surfaces 5c, 5d. Therefore, the upper surface of the water collection basin 1 is flush with the rectangular opening 8.

The lid 9 that closes the opening 8 is divided into a main lid 10 and an auxiliary lid 11, the length of which is approximately equal to the length of the water collection basin 1, and the width of the main lid 10 and the width of the auxiliary lid 11 are The added length is set to be approximately equal to the width of the water collection basin 1. In the embodiment shown in FIG.
The width of the main cover 10 is set to w since it connects the U-shaped side gutter 13 which is covered with the side gutter cover 12. Therefore, the width of the auxiliary lid 11 is the width of the main lid 1 from the width of the water collection basin 1.
The width is set by subtracting the width w of 0.

To bury the water collection basin 1 described above, connect the U-shaped gutter 13 to the connection port 6, and bury one side of the U-shaped gutter 13 and one side of the water collection basin 1 in a straight line. . Then, cover the U-shaped gutter 13 with the gutter cover 12, align the covers 12 in a row, cover the main cover 10 over the opening 8 of the water collection basin 1, and support it by the supports 7, 7. Opening 8 that occurs when the main lid 10 is covered
The auxiliary lid 11 is placed over the excess portion of the lid and supported by the supporting parts 7, 7. Furthermore, in the present invention, the auxiliary lid 11 covers the end of the surface material 14, such as urethane, which is laid on the ground surface. In this case, it is desirable to wrap the end portion of the surface material 14 up to the side surface of the auxiliary lid 11 (FIG. 2).

When constructed as described above, as shown in Figure 3,
Only the lid 12 of the U-shaped gutter 13 and the main lid 10 of the catchment basin 1 appear on the ground surface, and the auxiliary lid 11 appears on the ground surface.
can be covered and hidden by the surface material 14. Therefore, it looks like the lid 12 of the U-shaped gutter 13...
There are no parts that protrude laterally from the rows.

In addition, inside the water collection basin 1, there are many small holes 15...
When the bucket-shaped garbage receptacle 16 having a bucket shape is removably attached, the garbage receptacle 16 captures garbage such as leaves that flowed from the U-shaped side gutters 13, 13 together with the water collected in the water collection basin 1. Dust can be prevented from flowing into the drain pipe 17 from the drain port 4. The garbage accumulated in the garbage receptacle 16 can be removed from the water collection basin 1 after removing the main lid 10.
can be extracted and eliminated.

In the first embodiment described above, the main cover 10 of width W is used because it connects the gutter 13 that covers the cover 12 of width W. A plurality of types are prepared, and accordingly, a plurality of types of auxiliary lids 11 are also prepared corresponding to the width of the main lid 10, from narrow ones to wide ones, in order to cover the surplus portion. Therefore, the main lid 10 and the auxiliary lid 11 can be appropriately selected and used depending on the width of the lid of the gutter to be connected. That is, when connecting wide side gutters, the same wide main lid 10 is selected and used, and the narrow auxiliary lid 11 is used.

Moreover, the main lid 10 can not only be used with different widths, but also can be adapted to the shape of the lid to be placed over the side gutter. For example, in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the cross-sectional shape of the drainage channel 18 is a vertically elongated approximately elliptical shape, and a narrow inlet port 19 is opened on the upper surface to connect it to a side gutter 20. It is. In the case of this embodiment, the main lid 10' having approximately the same width as the width of the side gutter 20 and the selection of the auxiliary lid 11' corresponding to the main lid 10' are similar to the first embodiment. A narrow inlet 23 similar to the inlet 19 of the side gutter 20 is provided in the main lid 10'. In this way, the main lid 1 has a shape that matches the shape of the side gutter 20.
When 0' is used, the main lid 10' having the same shape as the gutter 20 appears on the ground surface, so the viewer does not feel unnatural and the appearance is good.

Note that the main lid in the present invention is not necessarily limited to a single plate. For example, as in the third embodiment shown in FIG.
may be configured.

Further, the surface material 14 in the present invention is not limited to a urethane sheet, but may be any material as long as it is laid on the ground, for example, it may be coated with resin or the like.

<Effects of the invention> As explained above, according to the invention, even if a wide catchment basin is installed in the middle of a row of narrow gutter lines, only the main cover of the same width as the gutter cover is visible from the outside. can be,
The auxiliary lid is hidden by the surface material and cannot be seen. Therefore, it does not impair the aesthetic appearance of parks, tennis courts, etc. where scenery is important, and is far more aesthetically pleasing than conventional water catchments.

Furthermore, since the main lid of the water catchment basin does not protrude from the row of side gutters, space can be used effectively in tennis courts and the like.

Furthermore, by preparing a plurality of types of main lids and auxiliary lids, it is possible to use gutters of different widths for one type of water collection basin. Preparing multiple types of catchment basins requires preparing multiple types of molds, which makes equipment expensive, and requires a large space to stock multiple types of catchment basins. However, as with the present invention, it is sufficient to combine one type of water collection basin with different types of main lid and auxiliary lid, so equipment costs such as molding mold costs are low, and inventory space is small. It's enough.
