Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a water removing apparatus, and more specifically, a water removing apparatus for manually and easily removing a large amount of water accumulated on a coat, a road surface and the like. Regarding water equipment.

[Prior Art] As a water removing apparatus of this type, there is one conventionally described, for example, below.

There are several different types of tennis courts currently used, including Lone, Antuca, Clay and Hard. Depending on the type and equipment of this coat, there are some that cannot be used if it rains, and the hard coat can be used by removing the rainwater on the coat once the rain stops.

There are two ways to remove the rainwater that has accumulated on the hard court: broom it or push it with a rubber spatula to discharge it out of the court, and as a palliative method, let the rainwater soak into the bucket and squeeze it into the bucket. I'm doing it.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In any of the above-mentioned conventional methods, removing rainwater on a rectangular coat (about 261 m ² ) surrounded by side lines and a base line requires a great deal of labor, and Even if it is carried out by a large number of people, it is not quite effective.

There is a problem that it is very inefficient to draw rainwater out of the court with a broom and it is extremely inefficient, and the method of pushing it out with a rubber spatula is low in efficiency in spite of using time and physical strength.

In order to eliminate the above-mentioned problems, the present invention interlocks with continuous collection of rainwater on a coat into a water tank by squeezing it into a large number of sponge-like water-absorbing members and then squeezing it. The purpose is to remove rainwater on the court quickly and efficiently.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The above-mentioned object of the present invention is provided with a large number of rotating rollers pivotally supported between the side plates except for the upper parts of the pair of side plates in which the lower part of the disc is cut out, Of the rotary rollers, a diaphragm roller is pivotally supported between the uppermost two rotary rollers, and a plurality of divided water absorbing members are attached to the lower surface of the diaphragm roller and the outer surface of each rotary roller. A water-passing belt is rotatably stretched around the upper M-shape, and the body plate and the side plates are arranged in a liquid-tight manner between the side plates along the inside of the rotating rollers. This can be achieved by forming the enclosed empty space as a water receiving tank, further providing a drain valve under the side plate, and projecting a handle on each of the side plates.

Further, the pressing roller may be pivotally supported by sandwiching a water absorbing member below the squeezing roller.

Further, the rotating roller and the water-passing belt may be arranged in two rows.

[Operation] When a handle is pushed or pulled on a water-removed place such as a tennis court with a puddle, the water-passing belt rotates in a caterpillar manner through a rotating roller and squeezing roller together with many water-absorbing members. To do.

Since a large number of water-absorbing members rotate while contacting the surface to be removed with the rotation of the belt, the water in the water pool is absorbed by each water-absorbing member one after another due to the expansion force generated after decompression of each water-absorbing member. Can be made.

After that, each water-absorbing member can be compressed one after another by the squeezing roller pivotally supported in the valley of the water-passing belt that is hung in the upper part of the water receiving tank, and the water absorbed by each water-absorbing member can be compressed one after another. The water can be squeezed out and naturally flowed through a large number of holes in the water passage belt to be stored in the water receiving tank, and the stored water can be drained to another place to remove the water to be removed.

Since the squeezing roller is provided in the trough of the M-shaped bridge at the upper part of the water passage belt, the squeezed water flows down into the water receiving tank directly below.

If the rotary roller and the water passage belt are separately arranged in two rows, the direction can be easily changed.

In particular, since the water absorbing member according to the present invention is divided into a large number and is attached to the outer surface of one endless water-passing belt, the water absorbing members in the bridging portion of each roller have the outer sides radially separated from each other. As a result of passing through the transfer section, the water absorbing member is not compressed / expanded due to the difference between the inner circumference and the outer circumference, so that a smooth and light turning action is exhibited.

[Examples] Examples will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the basic structure of the present invention is as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. Rotating rollers 2, 2 are provided between the side plates 1, 1 by means of iron pivots 2a, 2a.

A water-absorbing member consisting of a large number of sponge square pieces, etc.
As shown in FIG. 1, a water-passing belt 5 made of synthetic rubber thin plate that does not expand and contract like endless automobile tire material with 4, 4 attached to the outer surface is rotatably hung in the upper M shape. To set up.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, a body plate 6 such as an iron plate which is liquid-tightly disposed along the inner side of the plurality of rotating rollers 2 and between the side plates 1 and 1 by welding or the like. A space surrounded by the side plates 1 and 1 is used as a water receiving tank 7, and a drain valve 8 is provided below the side plate 1, and a grip 9 is provided on each side plate 1 and 1.
Is projected.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, water-absorbing members 4, 4 made of sponge squares, etc., are attached to the outer surfaces of the guide rollers 5, 5, the squeezing roller 3, and the rotary roller 2, respectively, by means such as adhesion. As shown in FIG. 1, a water passage belt 5 made of a synthetic rubber thin plate that does not expand and contract like an endless automobile tire material is rotatably stretched around the belt.

Further, a handle 9 for pushing the hand is projected on the water receiving tank 7 to constitute the water removing apparatus of the present invention.

A pressing roller 15 may be pivotally supported under the squeezing roller 3 as shown by the chain line in FIG. 1 to forcibly compress the water absorbing members 4, 4.

In each figure, the reference numeral 9a indicates a reinforcing stay,
Reference numeral 10 is a drainage hole, 8 is a drain valve such as a faucet cock, and E is a place to be removed water.

The water removing apparatus of the present invention is configured as described above, and the basic operation of this apparatus will be described below.

When the handle 9 is moved in the direction of arrow a in FIG. 1 such as by pushing the handle 9 on the water-removed place E such as a tennis court having a water pool, the water-passing belt 5 together with the many water-absorbing members 4 and 4 is the rotating roller 2 and the squeezing roller. 1 through 3, it rotates in the direction of the arrow in FIG.

A large number of water-absorbing members accompany the rotation of the water-passing belt 5.
Since 4, 4 rotate while being in contact with the surface to be removed while being compressed, it is possible to cause each water absorbing member to absorb water in the water pool one after another by the expansion force generated after decompression of each water absorbing member 4, 4. .

After that, the water absorbing members 4 can be compressed one after another by the squeezing rollers 3 pivotally supported in the valleys of the water passing belts 5 hung over the water receiving tank 7 in a substantially M-shape, and the water absorbing members 4 absorb water. It is possible to squeeze out the water one after another and let it naturally flow down to the water receiving tank 7 through the large number of water drainage holes 10 of the water passage belt 5 to temporarily store the water, and the stored water can be drained by a rubber hose or a faucet cock. It is possible to remove water at the water-removed place E by draining to another place at 8.

Since the squeezing roller 3 is provided in the trough of the M-shaped bridge on the upper part of the water passage belt 5, the squeezed water flows down into the water receiving tank 7 directly below.

Further, if the rotary rollers 2, 2 and the water-passing belt 5 are separately arranged in two rows as shown in FIG. 5, the direction can be easily changed.

Particularly, since the water absorbing member 4 in the present invention is divided into a large number and attached to the outer surface of one endless water-passing belt 5, the outer sides of the water absorbing members 4 in the spanning portion of each roller are radially separated from each other. On the other hand, as a result of passing through the bridging portion, the water absorbing member 4 is not compressed / expanded due to the difference between the inner circumference and the outer circumference, so that a smooth and light turning action is exhibited.

That is, by moving this device in the coat in the direction shown by the arrow in FIG. 1, the rotating roller 2 is rotated, and the water absorbing member 4 is caused to run on the rotating rollers 2 and 2 via the water-passing belt 5, and the rotating roller 2 is moved. As shown in FIG. 2, the rainwater on the coat surface is absorbed by the water-absorbing member 4 which runs in parallel while being pressed against the coat surface. The absorbed water-absorbing member 4 is compressed by the squeeze roller 3 and the rainwater absorbed is absorbed by the belt. The water absorbing member 4 that has been squeezed out into the water receiving tank 7 through the water draining hole 10 and has recovered the water absorbing power is fed out. By repeating this procedure, the surface E to be removed is reciprocated, and the rainwater on the coated surface is stored in the water receiving tank 7. Will be collected.

The rainwater w collected in the water receiving tank 7 is drained to a drain groove or the like via a drain valve 8 provided as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4.

Since the water absorbing member 4 is pressed against the surface E of the water to be removed, the water absorbing member 4 is replaced when it is consumed or the water absorbing function deteriorates.

In this replacement, the rollers 2 and 3 can be freely replaced by removing them from their pivots 2a, and after use, they can be dried by removing water between the removing rollers for washing with water.

It should be noted that as shown by the chain line in FIGS. 1 and 4, a handle 9 may be provided at the front and rear to advance or retract.

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the effects described below.

In the water removing apparatus according to claim 1, when the handle 9 is moved by pushing or pulling on the water-removed place E in a tennis court having a water pool, the water-passing belt 5 has a large number of water-absorbing members 4, 4
At the same time, it rotates in a caterpillar manner via the rotary roller 2 and the diaphragm roller 3.

As the water-passing belt 5 rotates, a large number of absorbing members 4 rotate while being in contact with the surface E to be removed, so that the absorbing members 4, 4 are expanded by the expansion force generated after the compression is released. Water in the puddle can be absorbed one after another.

After that, each absorbing member 4 can be compressed one after another by the squeezing roller 3 pivotally supported in the valley of the water-passing belt 5 which is hung over the upper part of the water receiving tank 7, and the water is absorbed by each absorbing member 4. It is possible to squeeze out the water one after another and let it naturally flow down to the water receiving tank 7 through the large number of water drainage holes 10 of the water passage belt 5 and store it. By draining the stored water to another place, the water to be removed E Can be drained.

Since the squeezing roller 3 is present in the M-shaped bridging valley in the upper part of the water passage belt 5, the squeezed water flows down into the water receiving tank 7 directly below, so that it does not spill to the side.

In particular, since the absorbing member 4 in the present invention is divided into a large number and is attached to the outer surface of one endless water-passing belt 5, the outer sides of the water-absorbing members 4 in the spanning portion of each roller are radially separated from each other. On the other hand, as a result of passing through the bridging portion, the water absorbing member 4 is not compressed / expanded due to the difference between the inner circumference and the outer circumference, so that a smooth and light turning action is exhibited.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to remove rainwater accumulated in a water-removed place, for example, a tennis court, in a short time by one person, and it does not require a great labor to remove water. effective.

Further, in particular, the water receiving tank 7 according to the present invention is convenient because the body plate 6 can be installed as large as possible so that the amount of water stored can be increased and the number of drains can be reduced.

According to the second aspect, since the water absorbing member is inserted between the squeezing roller and the pressing roller, the squeezing action is improved.

According to the third aspect, since the rotary rollers 2, 2 and the water passage belt 5 are separately arranged in two rows, there is an effect that the direction can be changed more easily.
