[0029] As shown in FIG. 2( a ) and FIG. 2( b ), the base portion 11 has a circular bottom surface 11 a and The bottom surface 11a has a drop hole 11b for dropping rainwater at the approximate center, and a cylindrical portion 11c. The cylindrical portion 11c forming the drop opening 11b is connected to the upper end of the roof drain 21. can be.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 2(a) and FIG. 2(b), the bottom surface 11a has a drop hole 11 at the approximate center. The bottom surface 11a of the annular member is provided with a drop hole 11b. A plurality of flow straightening fins 13 are arranged at equal angular intervals around the center.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 2(a), the drop hole 11b is a through hole formed in the center of the base portion 11. The hole is formed inside the cylindrical portion 11c. The rainwater drainage device 10 is connected to the upper end of the drain 21, and the rainwater flows into the rainwater drainage device 10 from 360 degrees. The rainwater that falls into the roof drain 21 is allowed to fall.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 2(a) and FIG. 2(b), the cylindrical portion 11c is a cylindrical member. The upper end of the plate is connected to the bottom surface 11a and protrudes downward from the bottom surface 11a. The cylindrical portion 11c has an outlet 11b formed therein.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 2(a) and FIG. 2(b), the cover portion 12 is disposed above the base portion 11. The plate-like member is arranged concentrically with the drop hole 11b formed at the center of the base portion 11. The airflow is supported by a plurality of airflow straightening fins 13 standing on the bottom surface 11a of the base portion 11. As shown in FIG. 2(a), the cover portion 12 is disposed on the base portion 11 (the drop opening 11b). It is disposed above the bottom surface 11a with a predetermined gap G (height) h therebetween. Furthermore, the lid portion 12 has a circular surface facing the drop hole 11b with a diameter b (the diameter of the circular surface inscribed in the surface of the lid portion 12). The diameter of the imaginary circle is the same as that of the axial direction.

[0034] In this embodiment, since the lid portion 12 is a circular plate-like member, the diameter of the inscribed circle of the lid portion 12 is The diameter b corresponds directly to the diameter of the circular lid portion 12.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 2(a) and FIG. 2(b), the plurality of flow straightening fins 13 are disposed at the drop holes 11b. It is provided on the bottom surface 11a of the base portion 11 in order to regulate the flow of rainwater flowing into the drainpipe 11a. More specifically, the plurality of flow straightening fins 13 are arranged in a substantially vertical direction as shown in FIG.

[0037] As a result, rainwater flows into the roof drain 21 in a vortex shape, forming an air column in the center. This can prevent the data from being leaked.

[0038] As a result, the straightening fins 13 direct air to the center of the rainwater flowing into the drop port 11b. By preventing the formation of columns, the siphon phenomenon occurring in the roof drain 21 is prevented. It can effectively eliminate the factors that inhibit the occurrence of elephants.

[0039] <Relationship between base portion 11 and lid portion 12> In the rainwater drainage device 10 of this embodiment, in the above-mentioned configuration, the drop port of the base part 11 If the diameter of the circular lid portion 12 facing 11b is b and the size (height) of the predetermined gap G is h, then It is configured to satisfy the following relational expression (1).

[0040] 6≦b / h≦11 (1) In this way, the diameter b of the lid portion 12 and the gap between the bottom surface 11a of the base portion 11 and the lid portion 12 The relationship between the magnitude of G and the magnitude of h satisfies the relational expression (1), so that the base portion 1 1 and the lid portion 12 through the drop hole 11b into the roof drain 21. The flow rate of rainwater is controlled so that the inside of the roof drain 21 is filled to capacity. You can install it.

[0041] As a result, the siphon phenomenon is effectively generated within the roof drain 21. By eliminating factors that inhibit the siphon phenomenon, rainwater can be efficiently drained. do.

[0042] Furthermore, if the inner diameter of the drop opening 11b of the base portion 11 is a, the following relational expression (2) is satisfied. The system is configured to:

[0043] 0.2≦h / a≦0.5 (2) In this way, the gap G between the bottom surface 11a of the base portion 11 and the lid portion 12 is The ratio of the inner diameter a of the drop opening 11b is configured to satisfy the relational expression (2), The roof drain 2 is inserted through the drop hole 11b between the bottom surface 11a of the base portion 11 and the lid portion 12. The flow rate of rainwater falling onto the roof drain 21 is stabilized, and the inside of the roof drain 21 is kept in a full flow state. It can be controlled to be in that state.

[0044] As a result, the siphon phenomenon is effectively generated within the roof drain 21. By eliminating factors that inhibit the siphon phenomenon, rainwater can be efficiently drained. do.

[0045] Here, a predetermined gap is formed between the bottom surface 11a of the base portion 11 and the cover portion 12. The size (height) h of G must be greater than or equal to 15 mm and less than or equal to 40 mm while satisfying the above relational expression (1). It is preferable that the value is set to be within the range of

[0046] As a result, the bottom surface 11a of the base portion 11 and the lid portion 12 are dropped into the gap through the drop hole 11b. By restricting the flow rate of rainwater falling into the roof drain 21 in the vertical direction, It is possible to control the inside of the full drain 21 so that it becomes a full flow state.

[0047] As a result, the flow rate of rainwater flowing into the roof drain 21 can be controlled more effectively. As a result, the occurrence of a siphon phenomenon in the roof drain 21 can be induced.

[0048] Furthermore, the diameter b (diameter of the imaginary circle) of the circular lid portion 12 described above satisfies the above relational expression (1). After taking into account the above, the setting must be within the range of 110 mm to 155 mm. preferable.

[0049] As a result, the bottom surface 11a of the base portion 11 and the lid portion 12 are dropped into the gap through the drop hole 11b. The flow rate of rainwater falling into the roof drain 21 is restricted in the planar direction of the lid portion 12. This allows the roof drain 21 to be controlled so that it is filled to capacity. can.

[0050] As a result, the flow rate of rainwater flowing into the roof drain 21 can be controlled more effectively. This can induce the occurrence of a siphon phenomenon within the roof drain 21. <Comparison of Examples 1 to 4, Reference Examples 1 to 3, and Comparative Examples 1 to 4> FIG. 3 shows Examples 1 to 4 of the present invention, Reference Examples 1, 2, and 3, and Comparative Examples 1 to 4, with a roof drain. Whether or not vortexes occur when rainwater flows into the roof drain 21, and the siphon phenomenon in the roof drain 21 The results of the comparison from the viewpoint of the occurrence or non-occurrence of the above are shown below.

[0064] In this case, b / h=8.7, h / a=0.22, and the diameter of the roof drain 21 At 65A, no vortex occurs in the rainwater flowing into the roof drain 21 from the drop outlet 11b. The occurrence of the siphon phenomenon in the roof drain 21 was confirmed.

[0068] As a result, according to the rainwater drainage device 10 of the third embodiment, the rainwater flowing into the roof drain 21 The siphon effect allows rainwater to be efficiently drained without creating vortexes. Done. EXAMPLES

[0069] In the fourth embodiment, the inner diameter a of the drop port 11b of the rainwater drainage device 10 is 109 mm, and the The experimental results are shown below for height (gap G size h) = 30 mm and lid diameter b = 250 mm. is.

[0070] In this case, b / h=8.3, h / a=0.28, and the diameter of the roof drain 21 At 50A, no vortex occurs in the rainwater flowing into the roof drain 21 from the drop outlet 11b. The occurrence of the siphon phenomenon in the roof drain 21 was confirmed.

[0071] As a result, according to the rainwater drainage device 10 of the fourth embodiment, the rainwater flowing into the roof drain 21 The siphon effect allows rainwater to be efficiently drained without creating vortexes. Done. (Summary of Examples 1 to 4) As described above, according to the configurations of the first to fourth embodiments, in any case, the water flows into the roof drain 21. No vortexes are generated in the incoming rainwater, and the siphon effect allows the rainwater to be drained efficiently. It was possible to do so. Comparative Example 1

[0072] On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, the inner diameter a of the drop port 11b of the rainwater drainage device was 53.5 mm, and the The experimental results are shown below for height (gap G size h) = 15 mm and lid diameter b = 60 mm. There are.

[0073] In this case, b / h = 4.0, h / a = 0.28, and the roof drain diameter is 50 At the time of A, a vortex was observed in the rainwater flowing into the roof drain from the outlet. There was no occurrence of siphoning in the drain pipes.

[0074] That is, in Comparative Example 1, among the parameters, b / h and h are the same as those in the above embodiment. This is outside the range specified by the IEC 61260.

[0075] As a result, according to the rainwater drainage device of Comparative Example 1, vortexes are generated in the rainwater flowing into the roof drain. Since the siphon phenomenon cannot occur due to the generation of water, rainwater can be efficiently drained. I was unable to do so.

[0076] Here, when comparing Comparative Example 1 with a comparative example similar to this configuration, the diameter b of the lid portion is different. It is clear that this is the case.

[0077] Therefore, although favorable results were obtained with respect to b / h at 10.0 in Comparative Example 1, In Comparative Example 1, which is 4.0 and does not satisfy the above relational expression (1), favorable results were not obtained.

[0078] In addition, although favorable results were obtained with the diameter b of the lid portion being 150 mm in Comparative Example 1, In the case of Comparative Example 1, 60 mm, the lid was too small to stabilize the amount of rainwater inflow, and No desirable results were obtained.

[0079] In Comparative Example 2, the inner diameter a of the drop port of the rainwater drainage device is 53.5 mm, and the height of the lid part (gap G The experimental results are shown for a size of the cover (h) = 50 mm and a diameter of the lid (b) = 250 mm.

[0080] In this case, b / h = 5.0, h / a = 0.93, and the roof drain diameter is 50 At the time of A, a vortex was observed in the rainwater flowing into the roof drain from the outlet. There was no occurrence of siphoning in the roof drain.

[0081] That is, in Comparative Example 2, among the parameters, b / h, h / a, h and b are all in the upper This is outside the range specified in the above embodiment.

[0082] As a result, according to the rainwater drainage device of Comparative Example 2, vortexes are generated in the rainwater flowing into the roof drain. Since the siphon phenomenon cannot occur due to the generation of water, rainwater can be efficiently drained. It was not possible to achieve this.

[0083] In Comparative Example 3, the inner diameter a of the drop port of the rainwater drainage device was 53.5 mm, and the height of the lid (gap G The experimental results are shown for a size of the nozzle h = 15 mm and a diameter of the lid b = 190 mm.

[0084] In this case, b / h = 12.7, h / a = 0.28, and the roof drain diameter is 5 At 0A, no vortex was observed in the rainwater flowing into the roof drain from the outlet. However, there was no occurrence of siphoning in the roof drain.

[0085] That is, in Comparative Example 3, among the parameters, b / h and b are the same as those in the above embodiment. This is outside the range specified by the IEC 61260.

[0086] As a result, according to the rainwater drainage device of Comparative Example 3, no vortexes are generated in the rainwater flowing into the roof drain. Although it does not generate siphoning, it does not efficiently drain rainwater. It was not possible to water it. Comparative Example 4

[0087] In Comparative Example 4, the inner diameter a of the drop port of the rainwater drainage device is 71 mm, the height of the lid part (the size of the gap G) is The experimental results are shown for a size h = 45 mm and a lid diameter b = 190 mm.

[0088] In this case, b / h = 4.2, h / a = 0.63, and the roof drain diameter is 75 At the time of A, a vortex was observed in the rainwater flowing into the roof drain from the outlet. There was no occurrence of siphoning in the roof drain.

[0089] That is, in Comparative Example 4, among the parameters, b / h, h / a, h and b are all in the upper This is outside the range specified in the above embodiment.

[0090] As a result, according to the rainwater drainage device of Comparative Example 4, vortexes are generated in the rainwater flowing into the roof drain. Since the siphon phenomenon cannot occur, rainwater is not efficiently collected. It was not possible to drain the water.

[0091] Here, when comparing Comparative Example 4 with Example 1 which has a similar configuration, h is different. It becomes clear that...

[0092] Therefore, regarding b / h, although favorable results were obtained at 9.5 in Example 1, In Comparative Example 4, 4.2, the position of the lid was too high, so the amount of rainwater entering the tub was not stabilized. No desirable results were obtained.

[0093] In addition, regarding the h / a ratio, a favorable result was obtained at 0.28 in Example 1, but Comparative Example 4, 0.63, did not give favorable results.

[0094] Furthermore, the size h of the gap G was 20 mm as in Example 1, and favorable results were obtained. However, favorable results were not obtained with the 45 mm lens of Comparative Example 4. (summary) (About b / h) As a result of the above Examples 1 to 4, the diameter b of the lid portion 12 and the height of the lid portion 12 (the size h of the gap G) If the ratio b / h is 7.5 or more and 10.0 or less, a vortex will form in the roof drain 21. It was possible to generate a siphon effect without any damage occurring.

[0106] [Other embodiments] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. However, various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

[0107] (A) In the above embodiment, the rainwater drainage device 10 is arranged along the outer periphery of the bottom surface 11a of the base portion 11. In the above description, an example in which a plurality of flow straightening fins 13 are provided radially has been given. However, the present invention does not include this. Not limited to this.

[0108] For example, as shown in FIG. 4(a), a flow straightening fin is provided on the bottom surface 11a of the base portion 11. The storm water drainage device 110 may be an uninsulated storm water drainage device.

[0109] Even in this case, the amount of rainwater flowing into the roof drain can be stabilized. Since the siphon effect can be effectively generated inside the The effect can be obtained.

[0110] (B) In the above embodiment, the rainwater drainage device 10 is arranged along the outer periphery of the bottom surface 11a of the base portion 11. In the above description, an example in which eight flow straightening fins 13 are provided radially has been given. However, the present invention does not apply to this. Not limited to this.

[0111] For example, as shown in FIG. 4(b), a rainwater drainage device with the number of flow straightening fins 13 reduced to four is used. It may be a position 210.

[0112] That is, the number of flow straightening fins is not particularly limited and may be any number. Further, the flow straightening fins are arranged along the radial direction of a circle having the drop opening 11b of the base portion 11 as the center. The present invention is not limited to a configuration in which the electrodes are arranged radially, but may be arranged obliquely with respect to the radial direction. It may be possible.

[0113] (C) In the above embodiment, an example in which a smooth plate-shaped member is used as the lid portion 12 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

[0115] Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 5(b), the surface opposite to the surface facing the drop hole 11b may be concave. The storm water drainage device 410 may include a lid portion 412 formed in a tubular shape.

[0116] In addition, in the configurations of these rainwater drainage devices 310 and 410, the gap used in the above relational expression The size (height) h of G is the minimum gap between the surface facing the drop hole 11b and the bottom surface 11a. It is sufficient that the height is set to a value that satisfies the above requirement.

[0117] (D) In the above embodiment, an example in which the lid portion 12 made of a circular plate-shaped member is used has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

[0118] For example, the shape of the lid is not limited to a circle, but may be other shapes such as an ellipse or a polygon. In addition, when the lid part has a shape other than a circle, the lid part is inscribed on the surface of the lid part facing the drop hole. It is sufficient that the diameter of the circle is b and that the above relational expression is satisfied.

[0119] However, the rainwater that flows into the outlet is not uniform around the entire circumference. As in the above embodiment, it is preferable to use a circular lid portion.
