Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a water collection device used for various environmental measurements such as water quality testing, water supply and sewage diagnosis, and water resource field surveys. A U-shaped plate body, comprising a main plate (21) and a side plate (22), and a perimeter plate (30) are joined together. An adhesive layer (41) is formed on the inner surface of the perimeter plate (30) and on a reciprocating plate (40) mounted on the perimeter plate (30) to which the surface of a soft water collection bottle (10) adheres. A gripping plate (50) is joined to the perimeter plate (30), so that the soft water collection bottle (10) is inserted into the perimeter plate (30) and loaded in an expanded state. Background Technology

[0003] In various environmental measurements, such as water quality testing of rivers, lakes, and groundwater, as well as in the diagnosis of treatment performance of water supply and sewage systems and various field surveys of water resources, water sampling is the most primary and fundamental task for securing samples; therefore, the reliability of the results of various subsequent tests can only be ensured if water sampling is carried out according to appropriate procedures and standards.

[0004] Water collection is primarily carried out using water collection bottles, which are sealed containers manufactured with a specified capacity and distributed in a sterile state; they are molded from synthetic resins with excellent chemical resistance and can be classified into hard water collection bottles and soft water collection bottles.

[0005] The hard water collection bottle is formed by molding the hard synthetic resin to form a thick outer wall, and has the characteristic of maintaining its shape regardless of whether there is a contents or not. The soft water collection bottle, as shown in Fig. 1, is formed by molding the soft synthetic resin to form a thin sac, and thus does not maintain its shape. When the user spreads the sac to allow air to enter the soft water collection bottle before use, or when water is poured into the soft water collection bottle, the sac expands and takes on the shape of a real bottle. The problem to be solved

[0007] When performing water sampling operations, the rigid water sampling bottle allows the user at the site to directly sample water by placing the bottle in water. Furthermore, since it is self-standing, the collected water can be easily poured into the self-standing water sampling bottle using a separate beaker.

[0008] On the other hand, the soft water collection bottle, which is a sac that does not stand on its own and does not maintain its shape normally, causes the contents to leak out as the sac collapses the moment the user holds the bottle with their hand, making direct insertion into water extremely difficult. Furthermore, since it is impossible for the bottle to stand on its own, as shown in Fig. 2, there was an inconvenience in that the user had to carefully pour the water collected from the collection beaker into the bottle with the other hand while supporting the soft water collection bottle with one hand.

[0009] In particular, due to the characteristics of soft water collection bottles that cannot stand on their own or maintain their shape, when pouring water collected in a collection beaker into the bottle, the user has no choice but to hold and support the top or neck of the soft water collection bottle, which can cause contaminants or impurities to be mixed into the inside of the bottle.

[0010] In addition, if the collected sample cannot be tested immediately, a chemical agent may be added to maintain the characteristics of the sample while transporting it to the laboratory. Typically, liquid formulations are added using a dropper, but there is a constant possibility of leakage of the collected sample or the ingress of external contaminants and impurities during the chemical addition process, as well as the problem of requiring additional personnel for smooth chemical addition.

[0011] As such, although soft water bottles present significant practical drawbacks compared to hard water bottles, they are nevertheless widely used in practice because they offer superior advantages over hard bottles in terms of storage, transportation, and economic efficiency.

[0012] In other words, although soft water collection bottles may be disadvantageous for performing water collection tasks, they can be compressed for storage and portability, and manufacturing costs can be reduced compared to hard water collection bottles.

[0013] In particular, the ease of storage and portability, as well as economic efficiency, can be said to act as a factor that necessitates the adoption of soft water sampling bottles due to the practical characteristics of environmental measurement, water supply and sewage diagnosis, and water resource field surveys, where frequent and repetitive water sampling operations are conducted at multiple locations. Prior art related to such soft water sampling bottles includes Patent No. 864454. means of solving the problem

[0015] The present invention is devised to take into account the aforementioned problems, to enable a simple water collection operation while utilizing a soft water collection bottle, to enable water collection by directly inserting the soft water collection bottle into water, and to minimize user contact with the water collection bottle during the water collection process. In a water collection device with a built-in water collection bottle, a U-shaped plate body, a main plate (21) and a side plate (22), are joined so as to be orthogonal in a planar plane, and a perimeter plate (30) forming a closed curve in a planar plane is joined to the upper part of the main plate (21) and the side plate (22), and a protruding front plate (31) and a protruding rear plate (32) are formed protruding from the upper side of the perimeter plate (30), and a pivot plate (35) is hinge-connected to the upper part of the protruding rear plate (32), and an adhesive layer (41) is formed on the rear inner surface of the perimeter plate (30), and a shaft (45) is installed that penetrates the front plate body of the perimeter plate (30). A reciprocating plate (40) is attached to the rear end of the shaft (45), and an adhesive layer (41) is formed on the back surface of the reciprocating plate (40). The upper end of a gripping plate (50), which is an L-shaped vertical plate, is attached to the circumferential plate (30), and the lower end of the gripping plate (50) is bent horizontally to form a seating plate (51). The lower ends of the seating plate (51), the main plate (21), and the side plate (22) are horizontal, and the soft water collection bottle (10) is inserted into the circumferential plate (30). The hinge end of the rotating plate (35) is connected to the protruding front plate (31). This is a water collection device with a built-in water collection bottle.

[0016] In addition, the present invention is a water collection device for a water collection bottle, characterized in that a connecting portion (38), which is a groove recessed in the rear, is formed in the protruding rear plate (32), and a luminous rod (80), which is a rod-shaped chemical light-emitting body with a width and diameter matching that of the connecting portion (38), is connected to the connecting portion (38) to emit light upwards toward the upper part of the soft water collection bottle (10). Effects of the invention

[0018] Through the present invention, the convenience of water collection work using a soft water collection bottle (10) can be dramatically improved, and direct water collection is possible by directly immersing the soft water collection bottle (10) in water, thereby preventing secondary contamination or mixing of impurities into the sample and improving the reliability of the sample.

[0019] In particular, stable support and shape maintenance of the soft water collection bottle (10) is possible, thereby ensuring user convenience and efficiency in handling the soft water collection bottle (10), and ensuring convenience and stability in subsequent operations such as the water collection operation itself as well as the injection of chemicals.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of the soft water collection bottle expansion method of the present invention. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of the water collection method of the present invention. FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of a light-emitting embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the usage state of a luminescent embodiment of the present invention. Specific details for implementing the invention

[0022] The detailed configuration of the present invention will be explained with reference to the attached drawings as follows.

[0023] First, FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating the appearance of the present invention in use. As shown, the present invention is a frame-type container in which a soft water collection bottle (10) is loaded, and the soft water collection bottle (10) can be stably supported and handled when inserted into the device of the present invention.

[0024] That is, the present invention is not fixed by binding, capturing, or compressing the soft water collection bottle (10), but rather by supporting the soft water collection bottle (10) while it is inserted into the device without any compression or binding. It can be described as a structure in which the soft water collection bottle (10) is placed in a basket, and a portion of the upper part is closed so that the water collection bottle does not escape to the outside.

[0025] This is because, unlike the hard water bottle mentioned above, the soft water bottle (10) is a sac that does not maintain its shape, and if it is fixed by binding or compression, the sac is compressed and the internal space is constricted, causing it to lose its function as a water bottle.

[0026] Ultimately, the present invention is a water collection device formed by forming an outer frame that supports a soft water collection bottle (10) as shown in FIG. 1, so that the condition of the soft water collection bottle (10) loaded inside can be immediately checked, and a gripping plate (50) is attached to the outer frame so that the user can handle it freely and easily. As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of plates, such as a main plate (21), a side plate (22), a circumference plate (30), and a rotating plate (35), are joined together.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a U-shaped vertical plate body, a main plate (21), and a U-shaped vertical plate body, a side plate (22), are joined so as to be orthogonal to each other in a cross shape on the plane, and a perimeter plate (30) that forms a closed curve on the plane as a band-shaped horizontal plate body is joined to the top of the main plate (21) and the side plate (22).

[0028] In addition, a protruding front plate (31) is formed protrudingly above the front joint of the perimeter plate (30) and a protruding rear plate (32) is formed protrudingly above the rear joint of the perimeter plate (30) and a pivot plate (35) is hinged to the top of the protruding rear plate (32).

[0029] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, an adhesive layer (41) is formed on the rear inner surface of the perimeter plate (30), a shaft (45) is installed that penetrates the front plate body of the perimeter plate (30), a reciprocating plate (40) is joined to the rear end of the shaft (45), and an adhesive layer (41) is formed on the back surface of the reciprocating plate (40).

[0030] That is, as shown in FIG. 4, a reciprocating plate (40), which is a plate body parallel to the front side plate body of the perimeter plate (30), is attached to the rear end of a shaft (45), which is a U-shaped rod body penetrating the front side plate body of the perimeter plate (30), so that as the shaft (45) moves in its own axial direction, the reciprocating plate (40) also reciprocates in the axial direction of the shaft (45). An adhesive layer (41) is installed on the rear side surface of the reciprocating plate (40), and an adhesive layer (41) is also installed on the rear inner surface of the perimeter plate (30) corresponding thereto.

[0031] Accordingly, as shown in the left end of FIG. 5, after the soft water collection bottle (10) in a compressed and crushed state is introduced into the device of the present invention, as shown in the middle of FIG. 5, the shaft (45) is pressed into the interior of the circumferential plate (30) to press the reciprocating plate (40) against the soft water collection bottle (10), and the back surface of the soft water collection bottle (10) is adhered to the adhesive layer (41) on the rear inner surface of the circumferential plate (30), and the front surface of the soft water collection bottle (10) is adhered to the adhesive layer (41) on the back surface of the reciprocating plate (40).

[0032] Afterwards, as shown in the right end of FIG. 5, when the shaft (45) is pulled forward and the reciprocating plate (40) is moved forward, the soft water collection bottle (10) expands, and the constricted internal space is expanded, making it possible to collect water smoothly.

[0033] In order to maintain the pulling state of the shaft (45) and the forward state of the reciprocating plate (40) during the operation of the shaft (45) and the reciprocating plate (40), a magnet (47) is installed at the contact portion between the circumferential plate (30) and the reciprocating plate (40), and the reciprocating plate (40) is made of an iron plate, thereby stably maintaining the expanded state of the soft water collection bottle (10).

[0034] Additionally, the adhesive layer (41) attached to the surface of the soft water collection bottle (10) is made of a low-adhesion double-sided tape with weak adhesive strength, thereby providing the adhesive strength necessary for the expansion of the soft water collection bottle (10), while allowing the soft water collection bottle (10) to be easily separated from the device of the present invention after the water collection operation is completed. Furthermore, if the adhesive strength of the adhesive layer (41) becomes excessively weak due to repeated use, the existing adhesive layer (41) can be removed and a new adhesive layer (41) can be attached and installed.

[0035] In particular, the adhesive layer (41) in the device of the present invention acts to expand the soft water collection bottle (10) to secure an internal space, and thus does not cause any side effects such as compressing or binding the soft water collection bottle (10) to constrict the internal space during use.

[0036] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the upper part of the gripping plate (50), which is an L-shaped vertical plate body, is joined to the perimeter plate (30), and the lower part of the gripping plate (50) is bent horizontally to form a seating plate (51), and the lower parts of the seating plate (51), the main plate (21), and the side plate (22) are horizontal.

[0037] That is, the bottom surface of the main plate (21) and the side plate (22) and the bottom surface of the mounting plate (51) are in contact with the same plane while forming a straight line in the front view, and the bottom surface of the main plate (21), the bottom surface of the side plate (22), and the bottom surface of the mounting plate (51) form a stable multi-point support structure, thereby enabling the self-standing of the soft water bottle (10), which was impossible in the prior art, as shown in FIG. 3.

[0038] In the device of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, a soft water bottle (10) is inserted into the circumferential plate (30), and as shown in FIG. 3, the front and back sides of the wide portion of the soft water bottle (10) face the inner surface of the main plate (21), and both sides of the soft water bottle (10) face the inner surface of the side plate (22). With the bottom of the soft water bottle (10) resting on the inner surface of the bottom of the main plate (21) and the bottom of the side plate (22), the hinge end of the other end of the pivot plate (35) is connected to the protruding front plate (31), thereby allowing the soft water bottle (10) to be stably loaded or supported.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 4, the pivot plate (35), which is installed to be freely rotatable around a hinge axis, has its other end of the hinge bent at a right angle and a recessed groove formed in this bent portion, and a connecting screw (37) protruding forward is formed on the protruding front plate (31), and the pivot plate (35) is fixed to the protruding front plate (31) by the mutual connection of the recessed groove and the connecting screw (37).

[0040] In this invention, the user can easily and freely handle the device of the invention loaded with a soft water collection bottle (10) by holding the gripping plate (50), and thus, as shown in FIG. 6, direct water collection by directly inserting the soft water collection bottle (10) into the water can be easily and stably carried out.

[0041] In particular, regarding the overall handling of the soft water collection bottle (10) through the present invention, including direct water collection, the user can perform most of the work by only operating the gripping plate (50), and the contact between the user and the soft water collection bottle (10) involved in this process can be minimized, thereby preventing secondary contamination or the mixing of impurities that may occur during the water collection process.

[0042] In addition, when a user handles the soft water collection bottle (10) using the present invention, there is no need to directly hold or press the soft water collection bottle (10), so it is possible to prevent water collection failure or leakage of internal samples that may occur as the soft water collection bottle (10) is pressed.

[0043] Meanwhile, FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate a luminescent embodiment of the present invention, which is designed to be useful in situations where it is difficult to visually identify the condition of the soft water bottle (10), such as nighttime water collection or water collection inside manholes and pipes.

[0044] In this luminescent embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7, a connecting portion (38), which is a groove recessed in the rear of the protruding plate (32), is formed, and a luminescent rod (80), which is a rod-shaped chemical light-emitting body with a width and diameter matching that of the connecting portion (38), is connected to the connecting portion (38), so that light is emitted upwards toward the soft water bottle (10) as shown in FIG. 8.

[0045] Therefore, the user of the luminescent embodiment of the present invention can easily and accurately determine the condition of the soft water collection bottle (10), such as the internal water level as shown in FIG. 8, even at night or under conditions where lighting is insufficient.

[0046] In the luminescent embodiment of the present invention, the luminescent rod (80) is a two-component luminescent body called a chemical light, and light emission is initiated by mixing the first liquid and the second liquid, which are chemical preparations of different components, immediately before use, and then light emission continues for a certain period of time according to the amount.

[0047] This light-emitting rod (80) has a glass ampoule embedded inside a rod-shaped airtight container made of soft synthetic resin, a first liquid such as diphenyl oxalate is loaded inside the soft synthetic resin rod, and a second liquid such as hydrogen peroxide is loaded in the embedded ampoule, isolated from the first liquid, so that immediately before use, the light-emitting rod (80) is slightly bent to rupture the glass ampoule embedded in the airtight container made of soft synthetic resin so that the first liquid and the second liquid are mixed, and then the light-emitting rod (80), in which the light-emitting reaction has started, is connected to the connecting part (38) for use.

[0048] Since the luminescence reaction of the first and second liquids described above can last for several hours or more, it can be fully utilized during water collection operations. Also, as shown in FIG. 7, the luminescence rod (80) and the connecting part (38) have a structure that allows for free attachment and detachment, so the luminescence rod (80) after the luminescence reaction has ended can be replaced with a new luminescence rod (80).
