[Industrial applications]

 When the present invention is installed in the middle of a downspout, rainwater normally passes through and flows down as a part of a downspout, but it is possible to easily take in water by installing an intake pipe such as a hose. It is about middle downspout.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Traditional downspouts are simply drainage pipes attached to a building. The roof protects the building from rainwater and drains it to the eaves gutter. Rainwater from the eaves drains down the downpipe and all rainwater flowing out of the downpipe is drained to the sewer.

Conventionally, as a device for utilizing rainwater, a rainwater storage tank buried under the ground and a seepage pit have been found.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Rainwater on the roof is also a valuable resource. However, all the blessings of heaven are thrown away in the sewage. It has been a long time since "water shortage" became a social issue and "water saving" was screamed, but I realized that I was too indifferent and wasted a lot of wastewater, which is an important water source to help solve it. Often not. If rainwater becomes available, water can be saved and it is very economical.

[0005] In recent years, urbanization has rapidly progressed to residential land, and rainwater brought by concentrated heavy rain and the like flows into sewage all at once, flooding narrowed urban rivers and causing flooding, flooding, and other damage. ing. This is also due to the fact that rainwater is drained into the sewage instead of being used. Utilization of rainwater has become an urgent necessity beyond the expansion of drainage facilities.

The rainwater storage tank draws rainwater underground from the downspout to store and uses it. However, since the rainwater storage tank, pumps, water pipes in the building, etc. are large-scale, it is difficult to introduce and maintain it even if it is not a new construction. However, it is not economical because it takes time and money.

[0007] Infiltration pits infiltrate rainwater discharged from a downspout into the ground. However, except for absorbing rainwater and supplying groundwater, there is almost no real life benefit. However, since the construction cost is high to install, it has not been spread and effective.

[0008] Both the rainwater storage tank and the seepage basin are facilities for the rainwater after being discharged from the downspout, and it is not possible to simply use the rainwater before collecting it. .

An object of the present invention is to provide an intermediate downspout which can solve the above problems and which can take water.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 This invention is an intermediate vertical gutter installed in the middle of a vertical gutter, which has connecting parts at the upper and lower ends of the main body, and has a required overflow outlet formed in the upper part of the main body and a hose or the like at the lower part. The present invention relates to an intermediate vertical gutter capable of taking water, having a funnel having a drainage port to which a water pipe can be attached, and having a water intake pipe inlet on the side surface of the main body.

[0011]

[Action]

 The water intake intermediate downspout of the present invention constructed as described above can be easily installed in the middle of the downspout 1 by the connecting portions 4 at the upper and lower ends. It can be installed simply by cutting the existing downspout 1 halfway. As shown in FIG. 2 (A), normally, rainwater flowing down from above the downspout 1 is collected in a drainage port 7 at the lower end of the funnel 8 inside the intermediate downspout 2, and the downspout 1 Is discharged below. Subsequent treatment is free and may be discharged to the sewage, stored in the rainwater storage tank, or allowed to flow into the infiltration basin.

As shown in FIG. 2B, at the time of water intake, an intake pipe 6 such as a hose is attached to the drainage port 7 at the lower end of the funnel 8. The rainwater flowing out of the intake pipe 6 can be used freely, and it may be permeated to the ground, sprinkled on plants or gardens, or stored in a water tank or bucket.

When a heavy rainfall occurs in a short time, the drainage port 7 at the lower end of the funnel 8 cannot be used for drainage or intake, and the downspout 1 is subjected to abnormal pressure and weight. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2 (C), the rainwater that overflows from the required number of overflow outlets 5 formed above the funnel 8 is discharged below the downspout 1, and the downspout 1 is protected.

[0014]

【Example】

 Reference numeral 1 in the figure is a downspout of the building, and 2 in the figure is an intermediate downspout installed in the middle of the downspout 1. FIG. 1A is a front view and FIG. 1B is a side sectional view. Connection parts 4 are provided at both upper and lower ends of the main body 3 of the intermediate vertical gutter 2 and are connected to the upper and lower vertical gutters 1. In order to prevent rainwater from leaking from the connecting part 4, the diameter of the connecting part 4 at the upper end is larger than that of the downspout 1, the diameter of the main body 3 is almost the same as that of the downspout 1, and the diameter of the connecting part 4 at the lower end is smaller than that of the downspout 1. is there. An intake pipe inlet 9 is provided on the side surface of the main body 3.

Reference numeral 8 in the drawing denotes a funnel arranged above the inside of the main body 3, an overflow outlet 5 of a required number is formed above the funnel 8, and a hose or the like is provided under the funnel 8. A drainage port 7 to which the water pipe 6 can be attached is formed. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, there are four overflow outlets 5, and the drainage outlet 7 is formed downward. The overflow outlet 5 may be a simple hole, but if it is a hole with a slope as shown in Fig. 3, it will never be drained from here except when the overflow occurs. It can be larger or larger. By doing so, the downspout can be easily protected from abnormal pressure and weight, even during heavy torrential rain.

The intermediate downspout 2 of FIG. 4 is formed in a conical shape below the main body 3 so that rainwater falling from the drainage port 7 flows down the inner circumference of the downspout 1, and a required number of drainage holes are provided in the peripheral portion. 1 is an embodiment in which an inner peripheral downflow device 11 having 10 is arranged. It can soften the power of drainage and the sound of water.

The intermediate downspout 2 of FIG. 5 is an embodiment in which the drainage port 7 is formed to be rotatable. If this drainage port 7 can be rotated 180 degrees, front and bottom and rear, it can be directed backward or obliquely when draining, so that the falling rainwater can flow down the inner circumference of the vertical gutter 1 and the force of drainage and the sound of water. Can be relieved. When installing the intake pipe 6, it is possible to work by facing downward so that no water will be splashed on it, and at the time of water intake, the front can be directed so that no excessive force is applied to the intake pipe 6 and the downspout 1.

[0018]

[Effect of device]

 As explained above, the water intake intermediate downspout according to the present invention, when installed in the middle of the downspout, can normally allow rainwater to pass through and flow down as a part of the downspout. By installing an intake pipe, it is possible to easily take in water and use rainwater.

In addition, this intermediate downspout can be easily installed in an existing downspout, and the cost can be reduced.

Further, according to this intermediate downspout, the rainwater taken in is freely available, whether it is permeated to the ground to replenish groundwater or sprinkled on plants or gardens, etc. Water may be stored in a bucket or bucket. It is very economical because it saves water.

Further, according to this intermediate downspout, even if a heavy rainfall occurs in a short time, the rainwater overflowing from the overflow outlet can be discharged to the lower side of the downspout, so that the downspout will not have an abnormal pressure. And can be protected from weight.

Further, even if this intermediate downspout is installed in the downspout, there is no discomfort in appearance, and it can be naturally integrated into the design of the entire building.
