AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing pipe protection structures are inefficient in protecting pipes from moving objects, such as trucks, which can cause collisions and damage.

Method used

A pipe protection structure featuring a column with a root-wrapped column base that includes protrusions facing the pipe in two horizontal directions, creating a barrier that redirects moving objects away from the pipe, while also allowing for easy maintenance through an opening between the protrusions.

Benefits of technology

The structure effectively protects the pipe from moving objects by redirecting potential collisions with the protrusions, enhancing the structural strength of the column base, and allowing for easier maintenance and fluid discharge management.

[0012] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a pipe protection structure that can efficiently protect a pipe from moving objects. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0013] [Figure 1] 1 is an external view showing an example of a building having a pipe protection structure according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Diagram 2] 2 is an external view of part A in FIG. 1 as viewed in a second horizontal direction. [Diagram 3] 2 is an external view of part A in FIG. 1 as viewed in a first horizontal direction. [Figure 4] BB cross-sectional view of FIG. 3. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0015] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, in one embodiment of the present invention, a pipe protection structure 1 has a pillar 2 having a root-wrapped column base portion 2a, and a pipe 3 extending parallel to the pillar 2 and supported by the pillar 2, and the root-wrapped column base portion 2a has a root-wrapped main body portion 2a1 that faces the pipe 3 in the first horizontal direction D1, and a protrusion 2a2 that protrudes from the root-wrapped main body portion 2a1 so as to face the pipe 3 in a second horizontal direction D2 perpendicular to the first horizontal direction D1.

[0016] According to the above configuration, a moving object 4 moving in the first horizontal direction D1 in a direction from the pipe 3 side toward the root-wrapped main body 2a1 side will collide with the protruding portion 2a2, which is a part of the column 2, before colliding with the pipe 3. Also, a moving object 4 moving in the second horizontal direction D2 in a direction from the protruding portion 2a2 side toward the pipe 3 side will collide with the protruding portion 2a2, which is a part of the column 2, before colliding with the pipe 3. Therefore, it is possible to call attention to the collision of a moving object 4 such as a truck with the pipe 3, so that the pipe 3 can be protected from the moving object 4. In addition, by providing the protruding portion 2a2 on the root-wrapped column base 2a, it is also possible to obtain the effect of increasing the strength of the root-wrapped column base 2a. Therefore, the pipe 3 can be efficiently protected from the moving object 4. In addition, the appearance can be made neater than when a structure for protecting the pipe 3 is provided separately from the root-wrapped column base 2a, so that the design can be improved.

[0017] The root-wrapped column base 2a has first and second protrusions 2a2 arranged to be positioned on opposite sides of the pipe 3 in the second horizontal direction D2, and has an opening 2a3 between the first and second protrusions 2a2 that opens the pipe 3 in the first horizontal direction D1 from the root-wrapped main body 2a1 side toward the pipe 3 side. With the above configuration, the pipe 3 can be easily maintained through the opening 2a3.

[0018] 2 to 4, the pipe protection structure 1 may have a configuration including a discharge path 5 through which a fluid discharged from a pipe 3 flows, and a cover 6 that can move at the opening 2a3 to open and close the discharge path 5. With the above configuration, the discharge path 5 for the fluid from the pipe 3 can be easily maintained. The cover 6 is formed of, for example, a grating.

[0019] The pipe 3 is a downspout. According to the above configuration, the downspout as the pipe 3 can be efficiently protected from the moving object 4.

[0020] The pipes 3 are placed in a truck yard 7. According to the above-described configuration, the pipes 3 can be efficiently protected from trucks serving as moving objects 4.

[0021] 2 to 4, the pipe protection structure 1 may have a configuration including a first and a second pipe 3. According to the above configuration, the above-mentioned effects can be obtained for the first and second pipes 3.

[0022] The column 2 has a column body 2b formed of an exposed portion of a steel column 8, and a base-wrapped column base 2a formed of a base of the steel column 8 and reinforced concrete 9 covering the base of the steel column 8, and the pipe protection structure 1 has a plurality of fixing hardware 10 arranged vertically and fixing the pipe 3 to the column 2. With the above configuration, the pipe protection structure 1 can be realized with a simple structure. Note that the above-mentioned plurality of fixing hardware 10 do not all have the same structure, and for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the fixing hardware 10 connected to the base-wrapped column base 2a and the fixing hardware 10 connected to the column body 2b may have different structures. Although the detailed structure of the fixing hardware 10 is not shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the fixing hardware 10 can be formed, for example, by appropriately connecting a plurality of members, and the shape of the fixing hardware 10 can also be set appropriately. The pipe 3 may be configured to extend in a straight line parallel to the pillar 2 as shown in Figure 2, or may have an elbow portion (not shown) that shifts the pipe 3 vertically downward at a position spanning from the pillar main body portion 2b to the root-wrapped column base portion 2a, away from the pillar 2 in the first horizontal direction D1, and may be configured to extend parallel to the pillar 2.

[0023] The protruding portion 2a2 is in the form of a plate extending in the vertical direction. According to the above configuration, the protruding portion 2a2 can be realized with a simple structure.

[0024] In this embodiment, the building 11 has the pipe protection structure 1. According to the above configuration, it is possible to realize the building 11 that can efficiently protect the pipe 3 from the moving object 4. The building 11 is, for example, a factory.

[0025] The building 11 has a plurality of pipe protection structures 1 and a truck yard 7. According to the above configuration, it is possible to realize a large-area building 11 that can efficiently protect the pipes 3 from trucks serving as moving objects 4.

[0026] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the above-described embodiment can be modified in various ways without departing from the gist of the present invention.
