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 if the hard coat is rained, it can be used by removing the rainwater on the coat.

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. 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 forms a pair in constructing a device for removing water by contacting the water absorbing member with the surface to be water-removed so that the accumulated water is absorbed by the water absorbing member. A large number of rotating rollers are provided around the upper and lower portions of the side plate, and a pressing roller is pivotally supported below the side plate between the respective side plates, and between the uppermost two rotating rollers of the respective rotating rollers. An endless water-passing belt having a large number of water absorbing members attached to the outer surface of the lower surface of the squeezing roller and the outer surfaces of the rotating roller and the pressing roller, with its upper surface being flat, is supported by a squeezing roller. A space surrounded by the body plate and each side plate, which is rotatably extended and stretched, and which is arranged liquid-tightly between the side plates along the inside of the plurality of rotating rollers, serves as a water receiving tank. None, and additionally a drain valve under the side plate At the same time, a grip is provided on each of the side plates, and a pressing roller is pivotally supported by sandwiching a water absorbing member below the squeezing roller, and a belt is stretched between the pressing roller and the pressing roller. It

Further, the rotating roller, the pressing roller, the pressing roller, and the water passage belt may be separately arranged in two rows.

[Operation] When a handle is pushed or pulled on a water-removed place such as a tennis court with a pool of water, the water-passing belt moves along with a number of water-absorbing members through a rotating roller, a pressing roller and a squeezing roller to form a caterpillar type. Turn to.

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 accumulates in each water-absorbing member due to the expansion force generated after the pressure roller of the lower water-absorbing member releases the compression. Can be made to absorb water one after another.

After that, each water-absorbing member can be compressed one after another by the squeezing roller and the pressing roller that are pivotally supported in the middle of the water-passing belt that is laid almost flat on the upper part of the water receiving tank, and the water absorbed by each water-absorbing member can be compressed. Can be squeezed out one after another and stored naturally by flowing down into the receiving tank through the many holes of the water passage belt. By draining the stored water to another place, the water to be removed can be removed. .

Since the squeezing roller and the pressing roller are provided in the middle of the water-passing belt, the squeezed water flows down directly into the water receiving tank.

Further, if the rotating roller, the squeezing roller, the pressing roller, the pressing roller, and the water passage belt are arranged in two rows and individually rotated for each row, the direction can be easily changed.

In particular, since the water absorbing member according to the present invention is divided into a plurality of pieces and attached to the outer surface of one endless water-passing belt, the water absorbing members at the bridging portions of the rollers are separated from each other while their outer sides are radially separated from each other. As a result of rotating and passing through the bridging portion, 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 caterpillar-type rotation action is exhibited.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, a body plate 6 such as an iron plate, which is liquid-tightly disposed by welding or the like, is provided between the side plates 1 and 1 along the inner sides of the plurality of rotating rollers 2 and 2. The empty space surrounded by the side plates 1 and 1 is used as a water receiving tank 7, and a drain valve 8 such as a faucet cock is further provided at the lower part of the side plate 1, and a handle 9 is obliquely provided at the lower part of each of the side plates 1 and 1. It is a projecting piece.

Next, an example will be described below in which the water-passing belts 5 to which a large number of water-absorbing members 4, 4 are attached are divided into two rows and the two rows of water-passing belts 5 are individually rotated for each row. .

That is, in the lower part of the side plate 1, as shown in FIG. 2, pivot shafts 2b and 2b which are individually pivotally supported between a pair of bearing portions 1a and 1a.
The pressing rollers 2a, 2a pivotally supported by key pins 2d, 2d

Is a drainage hole of the water passage belt 5, and E is a place to be water-removed.

Further, the reference numeral 14 in FIGS. 1 and 4 is a roller for preventing the entire apparatus from being bent forward when in use, but at the time of use, the pushing angle of the arrow a of the handle 9 is moderately adjusted by hand. In this case, even if the above-mentioned roller 14 is omitted, the entire apparatus does not bend forward.

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 pushed on the water-removed place E such as a tennis court having a water pool to move it in the direction of arrow a in FIG. 1, the water-passing belt 5 is rotated together with a number of water-absorbing members 4, 4 and the rotating rollers 2, 2, It rotates in a caterpillar manner in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1 via the pressure roller 2a, the pressure roller 10 and the diaphragm roller 3.

A large number of water-absorbing members accompany the rotation of the water-passing belt 5.
Since the lower one of 4,4 rotates while contacting with the surface to be water-removed, the expansion force generated after the pressure roller 2a decompresses the water-absorbing member 4,4 in the lower portion causes water to collect in each water-absorbing member. The water can be absorbed one after another.

After that, the squeezing roller 3 and the pressing roller that are pivotally supported in the middle of the water passage belt 5 that is laid almost flat over the water receiving tank 7.
The water absorbing members 4, 4 can be compressed one after another by 10 and the water absorbed by the water absorbing members 4, 4 can be squeezed out one after another and passed through the large number of water drainage holes 12 of the water passing belt 5 to the water receiving tank 7. It is possible to allow the water to naturally flow down and temporarily store it, and the water to be removed E can be removed by draining the stored water w to another place with a drain valve 8 such as a rubber hose or a faucet cock.

Since the squeezing roller 3 and the pressing roller 10 are provided in the middle of the upper part of the water passage belt 5 which is laid flat, the squeezed water flows down into the water receiving tank 7 immediately below.

If the rotating rollers 2, 2 and the water-passing belt 5 are divided into two rows and individually rotated for each row as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the direction can be easily changed. It

In particular, since the water absorbing members 4, 4 in the present invention are divided into a large number and are attached to the outer surface of one endless water passing belt 5, the outer sides of the water absorbing members 4, 4 in the bridging portion of each roller are mutually different. As a result of passing through the bridging portion while separating radially, compression of the water absorbing member 4 due to the difference between the inner circumference and the outer circumference,
Since it does not stretch, it exhibits a smooth and light turning action.

That is, by moving this device in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1 in the coat, the pressing roller 2a and the rotating roller 2 rotate, and the water absorbing member 4 and the flanges 2'of the rotating rollers 2 and 2 through the water passing belt 5. , 2 ', and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the water-absorbing member 4 runs in parallel while being in pressure contact with the coating surface.
Rainwater on the coated surface is absorbed by the water, and the absorbed water absorbing member 4
The rainwater that is compressed and absorbed between the squeezing roller 3 and the pressing roller 10 is squeezed out into the water receiving tank 7 through the drainage hole 12 of the water passage belt, and the water absorbing member 4 that has recovered the water absorbing force is fed out. By repeating this operation, the device is reciprocated on the surface E to be removed, so that the rainwater on the coated surface is collected in the water receiving tank 7.

The water 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. 2 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, each roller 2, 2a, 3, 10 is attached to its pivot 2b.
It can be replaced freely by removing it from after, and after use, it can be dried by removing water from it by hanging it between the rollers that have been removed 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 it on a water removing place E such as a tennis court having a water pool, the water passing belt 5 has a large number of water absorbing members 4,4.
Together with the rotating roller 2, the pressing roller 2a, the pressing roller 10
Then, it rotates in a caterpillar manner via the squeeze roller 3.

A large number of water-absorbing members accompany the rotation of the water-passing belt 5.
Since the lower part of 4,4 rotates while contacting the surface E to be removed, the expansion force generated after the compression of the lower water-absorbing members 4,4 absorbs water in the water pool one after another. Can be made.

After that, the squeezing roller 3 and the pressing roller that are pivotally supported in the middle of the water passage belt 5 that is laid almost flat over the water receiving tank 7.
The water absorbing members 4, 4 can be compressed one after another by 10 and the water absorbed in each water absorbing member 4 can be squeezed out one after another, and the water can be naturally stored in the water receiving tank 7 through the water passing belt 5 (a large number of drain holes 12). It can be made to flow down to store water, and the water to be removed E can be removed by draining the stored water w to another place.

Since the squeezing roller 3 and the pressing roller 10 are located in the middle of the upper part of the water passage belt 5 so as to be laid over substantially flat, the squeezed water flows down into the water receiving tank 7 directly below, so that it spills to the side. There is no.

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.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to remove rainwater accumulated on a water-removed place, for example, a tennis court, in a short time by one person, and there is an effect that a large amount of labor is not required for removing water.

Further, in particular, the water receiving tank 7 in 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.

Further, since the pressing roller 10 and the squeezing roller 3 can be forcibly rotated via the belt 11 by the rotational force of the pressing roller 2a, the water absorbing member enters between the rotating squeezing roller and the pressing roller by self-eating, The operation is light and the diaphragm action is improved.

According to claim 2, since the rollers such as the rotating rollers 2 and 2 and the water-passing belt 5 are separately arranged in two rows and individually rotated for each row, the direction can be changed easily. Has the effect of.
