Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a manhole capable of preventing the leakage of odors and killing insects, and more specifically, to a manhole capable of preventing the leakage of odors and killing insects, which can facilitate the smooth discharge of rainwater or sewage flowing in from the outside to a sewage treatment plant, prevent odors generated inside the manhole from leaking out to roads, etc., thereby creating a pleasant environment such as roads, and since pests can easily inhabit dark and humid environments such as sewers, it is possible to improve hygiene and the environment through insecticide killing, as well as protect the health of pedestrians, etc., while also bringing many economic advantages by reducing costs for maintenance, disinfection through self-disinfection, insecticide spraying, professional disinfection services, and maintenance. Background Technology

[0002] Typically, numerous manholes are installed on roads by being embedded underground to facilitate the smooth discharge of rainwater or sewage from the outside to sewage treatment plants. However, although these manholes are configured with multiple inlet holes to allow rainwater or sewage to easily flow in through gratings, foul odors originating from sewers can easily leak out to the surface through these holes, causing discomfort to pedestrians. Furthermore, as various pests inhabiting the sewers enter the surface through these inlet holes, it has been difficult to protect against various germs and diseases.

[0003] For example, according to Korean published patent No. 2024-0035931 (Prior Art 1), 'a water collection body (100) having a mounting bracket (110) protruding from the inner surface of one side; a manhole (200) having a through hole (210) vertically penetrating one side, a cover (220) for opening and closing the upper part of the through hole (210), and a solar cell part (230) formed with a predetermined area to generate electricity from sunlight; The invention presents an insecticidal system for a water collection tank, characterized by comprising: an insecticide (310) sprayed into the interior of a water collection tank body (100); a tank (320) in which the insecticide (310) is received and stored and fixed to a mounting bracket (110) of the water collection tank body (100); a spray (330) in which the insecticide (310) stored in the tank (320) is periodically sprayed; and a control unit (340) in which the amount and frequency of spraying of the insecticide (310) sprayed from the spray (330).

[0004] However, while these insecticidal systems for water tanks can kill pests inside by spraying the agent, the agent must be refilled after a certain amount is used, which significantly reduces work efficiency. Additionally, the agent may seep into the ground, causing serious problems for pedestrians. Prior art literature

Specific details for implementing the invention

[0016] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0017] The present invention relates to a manhole installed on the ground to allow rain or various types of wastewater flowing in from the outside to be discharged to a wastewater treatment plant, etc., and has a main body (10), an odor blocking part (20), a grating (30), an insecticide part (40), and a power supply part (50) as its main components.

[0018] The main body (10) according to the present invention is equipped with an upper inlet (11) and a sewage inlet (12) for introducing rain or sewage, and is equipped with a sewage discharge port (13) for discharging the introduced rain or sewage. The main body (10) is installed inside the ground and introduces rain or sewage through the upper inlet (11) formed on the upper side, and introduces various types of sewage generated from each household, shop, company, etc. through the sewage inlet (12) formed on the side. In order to discharge the rain or various types of sewage introduced through the upper inlet (11) and the sewage inlet (12) to a sewage treatment plant, etc., the sewage discharge port (13) is formed on the side of the main body (10) in a direction lower than the position of the sewage inlet (12). And the configuration of the main body (10) is composed of an upper inlet (11), a sewage inlet (12), and a sewage outlet (13), but the sewage inlet (12) may be excluded and used depending on the situation.

[0019] Additionally, the odor blocking unit (20) according to the present invention is positioned on the upper side of the main body (10) and is simultaneously received inside the main body (10), and allows rain or sewage flowing in from the upper inlet (11) to be discharged, while blocking the external discharge of odors generated inside the main body (10). The odor blocking unit (20) is configured such that, while being received inside the main body (10) as described above, it prevents odors generated from rain or sewage flowing in from the upper inlet (11) and sewage inlet (12), or odors flowing back from a sewage treatment plant, from leaking out to the outside of the ground, while allowing rain or sewage flowing in through the upper inlet (11) to flow smoothly to the sewage discharge port (13) located at the bottom.

[0020] At this time, the odor blocking part (20) is characterized by having an outer edge rim (21) to be seated on the upper part of the main body (10), a receiving groove (22) to collect rain or wastewater flowing in from the upper inlet (11), a through hole (23) penetrating downward in the center of the receiving groove (22), a pair of inclined surfaces (24) formed integrally on the through hole (23) in a mutually corresponding manner, and a blocking plate (26) that is rotated by a hinge (25) to block odors rising from the inside while allowing rain or wastewater discharged along the inclined surfaces (24) to be discharged downward. The odor blocking part (20) first forms a rim edge (21) to be seated on a step formed on the upper part of the main body (10), and is provided with a receiving groove (22) so that rain or wastewater flowing in from the upper inlet (11) can flow downward while being received inside the main body (10) in a state where it is seated on the upper part of the main body (10) by the rim edge (21), and is provided with a through hole (23) in the center of the receiving groove (22) so that rain or wastewater can flow to the wastewater discharge port (13). And in the through hole (23), flowing rain or wastewater is allowed to flow down along the inclined surface (24). These inclined surfaces (24) are formed in pairs corresponding to each other to maintain a shape like an 'ㅅ'. The rain or wastewater flowing down along the inclined surface (24) is not discharged immediately by the blocking plate (26). When a certain amount of rain or wastewater accumulates, the blocking plate (26) is rotated upward by the hinge (25) due to the load, and the rain or wastewater is discharged through the interior of the main body (10) to the wastewater discharge port (13). After the rain or wastewater is discharged, it is blocked again by rotating downward, thereby preventing the leakage of odors.

[0021] Additionally, the above-mentioned blocking plate (26) is characterized by having a weight (27) that applies a certain pressure by a load to block odors by rotating after the discharge of rain or wastewater. Since the blocking plate (26) must always prevent odors from leaking upward, the weight (27) is attached to the outer surface to control the rotation of the blocking plate (26) so that the blocking plate (26) can be opened when a certain amount of rain or wastewater has accumulated.

[0022] Additionally, the grating (30) according to the present invention is seated on the upper side of the odor blocking part (20) and is provided with a plurality of inlet holes (31) to allow rain or sewage to flow in while blocking foreign substances such as fallen leaves. The grating (30) is seated on the upper side of the main body (10) and is positioned on the upper side of the rim edge (21) of the odor blocking part (20), so that rain or sewage flowing in from the outside can be allowed to flow in, and through these inlet holes (31), fallen leaves or other foreign substances can be blocked.

[0023] At this time, the grating (30) is further characterized by having an inclined guide plate (32) to guide rain or sewage flowing through the inlet hole (31) to the through hole (23) of the odor blocking section (20). Rain or sewage flows into the grating (30) through the inlet hole (31), and a separate inclined guide plate (32) is formed at the inlet hole (31) located on the side of the grating (30) so that the inflow of rain or sewage can be guided to the through hole (23) formed in the center of the odor blocking section (20) into which the rain or sewage flows in from the bottom, thereby allowing the inflow of rain or sewage to be guided to the central through hole (23), enabling more efficient inflow of rain or sewage.

[0024] Additionally, the insecticidal unit (40) according to the present invention is equipped with an electric insecticidal device (41) that is housed inside the lower side of the odor blocking unit (20) or fixed to the lower side outside, so that insecticidal pests (1) generated inside the main body (10) can be killed by electric shock. The insecticidal unit (40) is equipped with an electric insecticidal device (41) so that insecticidal pests (1), such as mosquitoes and cockroaches, that enter from inside the main body (10) or from a sewage treatment plant can be killed by electric shock. In the case of such conventional insecticidal methods, since insecticidal pests are killed using separate chemicals, the operator must always replace the chemicals, which significantly reduces work efficiency. Therefore, the device is configured to enable insecticidal pests through an electric insecticidal device (41) supplied with electricity. This electric insecticidal device (41) is housed inside the lower side of the odor blocking unit (20) with its lower side exposed to kill insecticidal pests (1), or is fixed to the lower surface of the odor blocking unit (20) to kill insecticidal pests (1).

[0025] Additionally, the power supply unit (50) according to the present invention is configured to supply power to the electric insecticide (41) of the insecticide unit (40). Since the electric insecticide (41) of the insecticide unit (40) described above is configured to kill pests (1) through electricity, a power supply unit (50) capable of supplying power is absolutely necessary, so it is configured to supply power through the power supply unit (50).

[0026] At this time, the power supply unit (50) is provided with a solar panel (51) that produces electricity from solar heat on the upper surface of the grating (30), and is provided with a direct contact method (A) having a stabilizer (52) that safely maintains the voltage of the electricity produced from the solar panel (51), and a contact pin (53) and a contact part (54) that transmit the converted electricity to the electric insect killer (41); an induction method (B) having a first coil (55) that receives electricity supplied from the solar panel (51) and applies an alternating current to generate a magnetic field, and a second coil (56) that outputs a current induced through the magnetic field generated from the first coil (55) on the electric insect killer (41); and a first coil (55) that receives electricity supplied from the solar panel (51) and applies an alternating current to generate a magnetic field, a first resonator (57), and a resonance generated from the first coil (55) and the first resonator (57) on the electric insect killer (41). It is characterized by having one of the following: a magnetic resonance method (C) having a second coil (56) that outputs current induced through a frequency magnetic field and a second resonator (58). In the case of the power supply unit (50), to supply power to the electric insecticide (41) of the insecticide unit (40), the solar panel (51) generates electricity as electrons move when it receives sunlight. Since this electricity is direct current (DC), it is configured to be converted into alternating current (AC) through an inverter as needed, and a solar cell (not shown) that charges the electricity obtained from the solar panel (51) may also be formed.

[0027] The electricity obtained in this way is configured by selecting one of the direct contact method (A), induction method (B), or magnetic resonance method (C). In the case of the direct contact method (A), the electricity obtained from the aforementioned solar panel (51) is supplied to the electric insect killer (41) by protecting against overvoltage and overcurrent while maintaining a constant voltage through a ballast (52) to prevent the voltage from becoming too high or too low. As a method of supply, the contact pin (53) connected to the solar panel (51) is directly connected to the contact part (54) connected to the electric insect killer (41) to supply electricity. Furthermore, while the aforementioned direct contact method (A) supplies electricity through direct connection, the induction method (B) and magnetic resonance method (C) are configured to supply electricity through non-contact connection. First, the induction method (B) uses the principle of transmitting energy or operating a machine by utilizing a magnetic field and electromagnetic induction. As the first coil (55) connected to the solar panel (51) is in a state of ultra-close proximity to the electric insect killer (41) connected to the second coil (56), when electricity is supplied from the solar panel (51) to the first coil (55), an alternating current is applied to generate a magnetic field, and the second coil (56) outputs the current induced through the generated magnetic field to supply electricity. And the magnetic resonance method (C) is a principle that enables non-contact wireless power transmission by utilizing the resonance phenomenon. When electricity is supplied to the first coil (55) connected to the solar panel (51), a magnetic field is generated, and from this magnetic field, the first resonator (57) generates a resonance frequency magnetic field that resonates at a specific frequency, and the second resonator (58) connected to the electric insect killer (41) receives the resonance frequency magnetic field generated from the first resonator (57) and supplies electricity to the connected second coil (56).Therefore, the induction method (B) and the magnetic resonance method (C) can receive electricity through non-contact. Since the magnetic resonance method (C) is operated by the resonance frequency through the first resonator (57) and the second resonator (58), it is possible to supply electricity even from a greater distance than the induction method (B). The direct contact method (A), induction method (B), and magnetic resonance method (C) of the power supply unit (50) can be used by appropriately adjusting them according to the situation.

[0028] In addition, the direct contact method (A), induction method (B), and magnetic resonance method (C) of the power supply unit (50) are characterized by receiving power from a separate rechargeable battery (59) instead of a solar panel (51) when power supply is difficult due to cloudy weather or an emergency. The power supply unit (50) is configured to supply electricity to the electric insect killer (41), but since the solar panel (51) is used, there is a disadvantage that it is only advantageous in clear weather. To eliminate this disadvantage, a separate rechargeable battery (59) is formed in each of the direct contact method (A), induction method (B), and magnetic resonance method (C), so that electricity is charged through the solar panel (51) in clear weather, and then the electric insect killer (41) can be operated through the rechargeable battery (59) when conditions occur such as cloudy weather or when it is difficult to supply electricity separately.

[0029] Thus, the present invention enables the smooth discharge of rainwater or sewage flowing in from the outside to a sewage treatment plant, etc., and prevents odors generated inside the manhole from leaking out to roads, etc., thereby creating a pleasant environment for roads, etc., and provides the effect of bringing many economic benefits by reducing costs for maintenance, such as disinfection, insecticide spraying, and professional pest control services, while protecting the health of pedestrians, etc., as pests can easily inhabit dark and humid environments such as sewers.

[0030] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments and can be modified and varied in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, such variations or modifications should be considered to fall within the scope of the patent claims of the present invention. Explanation of the symbols
