Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a high tide countermeasure bollard, and more particularly to a high tide countermeasure bollard that is installed in mooring facilities for ports and fishing ports. [Background technology]
[0002] Patent Document 1 describes a port curb made of synthetic resin that is installed as a port vehicle stopper at port mooring facilities, piers, etc. by pouring concrete on-site.
[0003] The synthetic resin harbor curb is a block-shaped curb made of synthetic resin with a hollow space inside, and has an injection port on the top surface of the curb that connects to the hollow space and is used to fill ready-mixed concrete.A joint port that connects to the road surface is opened on the bottom surface of the curb, and fixing holes are provided around the periphery of the joint port through which the tip of an anchor bolt passes.
[0004] The port bollard described in Patent Document 1 has a completely enclosed grounding area, which causes problems such as poor drainage and accumulation of garbage, sand, etc.
[0005] To solve this problem, there is a port / fishing port car stopper described in Non-Patent Document 1.
[0006] The port / fishing port bollard described in Non-Patent Document 1 is constructed by placing a square steel pipe that serves as the bollard on a base frame that is installed above the ground surface, creating a gap between the base frame and the ground surface that forms the surface of the mooring facility, and then fixing it in place with anchor bolts, and then covering the base frame with a cover.

[0008] [Non-Patent Document 1] https: / / www.miraikouro.co.jp / infrastructure / column_stopper / Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0009] The port / fishing port bollard described in Non-Patent Document 1 has a gap formed between the bottom of the square steel pipe and the ground surface, so rainwater does not accumulate, drains well, and sand and debris do not accumulate, making it easy to use.
[0010] However, when high tides or climate change cause high tides that exceed the mooring facilities, seawater can seep into the land through gaps, which presents a problem.
[0011] In particular, due to the effects of abnormal weather caused by global warming in recent years, it is predicted that the tendency for high tides will increase in the future, and there is a demand for high tide countermeasure bollards that can withstand high tides while maintaining excellent usability.
[0012] In other words, the problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a high tide countermeasure bollard that has good drainage, does not allow sand or garbage to accumulate, is easy to use, and is also suitable for use in the event of a high tide. [Means for solving the problem]
[0013] The means for solving the problems of the present invention are as follows.
[0014] First, A car stopper is placed on a base frame that can be fixed so as to form a gap between the base frame and the ground surface, and is fixed and installed by a fixing means, This car stop for high tide measures is characterized in that a sheet member is attached to the lower end of the land side of the car stop member that forms a gap, closing the gap and wrapping the tip toward the sea side to come into contact with the ground surface.
[0015] Second, A car stopper is placed on a base frame that can be fixed so as to form a gap between the base frame and the ground surface, and is fixed and installed by a fixing means, A sheet member is attached to the lower end of the land side of the car stop member that forms the gap, and the tip is wrapped around the sea side to contact the ground surface, This high tide countermeasure car stopper is characterized in that a sheet retaining member is attached to the lower end of the land side of the car stopper member that forms the gap, preventing the tip of the sheet member from being pushed out toward the land side by seawater, and having an opening that does not prevent rainwater from the land side from flowing toward the sea.
[0016] Third, The high tide countermeasure car stopper described in the second paragraph, The sheet holding member has a comb-shaped holding portion that holds the sheet member so that it is not pushed out toward the land side, a plurality of openings located between the holding portions, and an L-shaped fixing portion that fixes it to the ground surface on the land side, A high tide countermeasure car stopper characterized in that the tip side of the holding part does not come into contact with the ground surface.
[0017] Here, the wheel stop member is not limited as long as it has a horizontally elongated shape and has enough rigidity to withstand the load on the vehicle tires, and for example, a square steel pipe can be used.
[0018] The fixing means is not limited as long as it is a means for fixing the car stop member to the mooring facility, and for example, an anchor bolt can be used.
[0019] The sheet member may be any sheet-like material that is weather-resistant, waterproof, and flexible, and for example, tarpaulin fabric for tents may be used.
[0020] The sheet retaining member is a horizontally elongated member that can fix the upper end of the sheet member in a tightly fitted state to the lower end of the land side of the car stop member, and has a comb-shaped retaining portion that holds the tip of the sheet member so that it is not pushed out toward the land side by seawater, and has an opening located between the retaining portions that does not prevent rainwater from the land side from flowing toward the sea. [Effects of the Invention]
[0021] According to the present invention, the following effects can be achieved.
[0022] The high tide countermeasure car stopper of the present invention has a sheet member attached to the lower end of the land side of the car stopper member that forms a gap, which closes the gap and wraps the tip side toward the sea so that it comes into contact with the ground surface.This means that it has good drainage, does not allow sand or debris to accumulate, is easy to use, and can also be used to respond to high tides that exceed the mooring facility due to high tides or climate change.
[0023] In particular, high tide countermeasure vehicle stops equipped with sheet retaining members can prevent the tip of the sheet member from being pushed inland by seawater due to high tides or seawater overflowing the mooring facility caused by climate change.
[0024] Furthermore, sheet holding members that have a comb-shaped holding portion that holds the sheet material, multiple openings, and an L-shaped fixing portion, and the tip side of the holding portion does not come into contact with the ground surface, have excellent drainage properties and can adequately respond to the effects of seawater exceeding the mooring facility due to high tides or climate change.

[0026] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the accompanying drawings, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicated explanations are omitted. It should be noted that the description here is one embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. [Example]
[0027] As shown in Figure 1, the high tide level prevention vehicle stopper of this Example 1 is configured by attaching a sheet member 2 and a sheet retaining member 11 to the lower end of the land side 1a of a square steel pipe 1 that is installed floating above the ground surface G so that a gap is formed between the pipe and the ground surface G and that closes the gap and wraps its tip toward the sea side S to come into contact with the ground surface G.
[0028] In Figure 1, symbol 3 indicates a cover attached to the end of the square steel pipe 1, symbol 4 indicates a base frame on which the square steel pipe 1 is placed, symbol 5 indicates a mounting screw that secures the cover 3 to the base frame 4, and symbol 6 indicates a sealing material that is filled between the cover 3 and the square steel pipe 1.
[0029] Although not shown in the figure, in addition to the contact points between the cover 3 and the ground surface, areas where seawater may enter due to high tides have been waterproofed using sealant and waterproof gasket tape.
[0030] At the end of the oblong square steel pipe 1, which serves as the wheel stop member, there is formed a work hole 1b shown by a dotted line on the top surface hidden by the cover 3, for inserting a nut 7 to be attached to the anchor bolt shown in Figures 2 and 3.
[0031] As shown in Figure 3, inside the cover 3, a square steel pipe 1 is placed on a base frame 4 that can be fixed so as to form a gap C with the ground surface, and is fixed to the port mooring facility by anchor bolt fixing means.
[0032] [Sheet material]
[0033] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the sheet member 2 is a long, thin sheet-like material made of Ultramax (registered trademark), a tarpaulin fabric used for tents, and when not being pressed by seawater, the tip is folded in a curved shape with the tip wrapped around the sea side S, and is sized to come into contact with the ground surface G (see Figure 1).
[0034] As shown in (b) of Figure 3, the sheet member 2 is attached to the lower end of the land side 1a (see Figure 1) of the square steel pipe 1 by a thick adhesive member 13 made of an adhesive material with waterproof properties on both sides.
[0035] [Seat holding member]
[0036] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the sheet holding member 11 is in the shape of a long piece with its upper end bent toward the sea side S. It has a comb-shaped holding portion 11a that holds the tip of the sheet member 2 so that it is not pushed toward the land side by seawater, a plurality of openings 11b located adjacent to the holding portion 11a so as not to prevent rainwater from the land side from flowing toward the sea side S, three L-shaped fixing portions 11c that fix it to the ground surface G on the land side, and an L-shaped top portion 11d that contacts the lower end of the land side 1a of the square steel pipe 1 (see Figure 1).
[0037] The tip end of the holding portion 11a is formed in a semicircular shape.
[0038] In FIG. 1, reference numeral 12 denotes a concrete screw that fixes the sheet holding member 11 to the ground surface G via the L-shaped fixing portion 11c.
[0039] Referring to (e), which is an enlarged view of the portion indicated by "e" in (b) of Figure 2, openings 11b are formed between the comb-shaped holding portions 11a and the portion forming the L-shaped fixing portion 11c, and the semicircular tip portion formed on the tip side of each holding portion 11a is formed so as not to come into contact with the ground surface.
[0040] In this way, by forming the tip side of each retaining portion 11a so that it does not come into contact with the ground surface, it is possible to provide a higher level of both the function of holding the tip side of the sheet member 2 so that it is not pushed out toward the land side by seawater, and the function of not preventing rainwater from the land side from flowing toward the sea side S.
[0041] [Effect]
[0042] The high tide countermeasure car stopper of Example 1 normally functions as a car stopper using the square steel pipe 1, has excellent drainage, does not allow sand or debris to accumulate, and is therefore easy to use.
[0043] Furthermore, since the upper end side of the sheet holding member 11 is formed as an L-shaped top portion 11d, even if the square steel pipe 1 has a long shape, the rigidity is maintained and it does not bend, and it is possible to make it adhere evenly to the lower end side of the square steel pipe 1.
[0044] As shown in Figure 3, at the time of high tide, seawater that attempts to infiltrate from the sea side to the land side through gap C is sufficiently prevented from infiltrating to the land side because a water-resistant wall is formed at the land side exit of gap C by the sheet member 2 being bent at a right angle so as to be in close contact with the sheet retaining member 11. [Example]
[0045] As shown in Figure 4, the high tide countermeasure vehicle stopper of this Example 2, like Example 1, is configured by attaching a sheet member 2 and a sheet retaining member 21 to the lower end of the land side 1a of a square steel pipe 1 that is installed floating above the ground surface G so that a gap is formed between the ground surface G and the square steel pipe 1. The sheet member 2 closes the gap and has its tip wrapped around the sea side S to come into contact with the ground surface G.
[0046] In the following, the description of the second embodiment that is the same as that of the first embodiment will be omitted.
[0047] [Sheet material]
[0048] As shown in (b) of Figure 6, the sheet member 2 is attached to the lower end side of the land side 1a (see Figure 1) of the square steel pipe 1 by a sheet member 23 formed of an adhesive material with waterproof properties on both sides.
[0049] [Seat holding member]
[0050] As shown in Figure 4, the sheet holding member 21 has a comb-shaped holding portion 21a to prevent the tip of the sheet member 2 from being pushed toward the land by seawater, multiple openings 21b located adjacent to the holding portion 21a so as not to prevent rainwater from the land side from flowing toward the sea side S, and three L-shaped fixing portions 21c for fixing to the ground surface G on the land side.
[0051] The tip end of the holding portion 21a is formed in a straight line.
[0052] In FIG. 4, reference numeral 22 denotes a concrete screw that fixes the sheet holding member 21 to the ground surface G via the L-shaped fixing portion 21c.
[0053] Referring to (e), which is an enlarged view of the portion indicated by "e" in (b) of Figure 5, openings 21b are formed between the comb-shaped holding portions 21a and the portion forming the L-shaped fixing portion 21c, and the linear portion at the tip of each holding portion 21a is formed so as not to come into contact with the ground surface.
[0054] In this way, by forming the tip side of each retaining portion 21a so that it does not come into contact with the ground surface, it is possible to provide a high level of both the function of holding the tip side of the sheet member 2 so that it is not pushed out toward the land side by seawater, and the function of not preventing rainwater from the land side from flowing toward the sea side S.
[0055] [Effect]
[0056] The high tide countermeasure car stopper of Example 2 is easy to use because the square steel pipe 1 normally functions as a car stopper, has good drainage, and does not allow sand or debris to accumulate.
[0057] As shown in Figure 6, during high tides, seawater that attempts to infiltrate from the sea side to the land side through gap C is sufficiently prevented from infiltrating to the land side because a water-resistant wall is formed at the land side exit of gap C by the sheet member 2 being bent at a right angle so that it adheres closely to the sheet retaining member 21. [Example]
[0058] As shown in Figure 7, the high tide level prevention vehicle stopper of this Example 3 is configured by attaching a sheet member 2 and a sheet retaining member 31 to the lower end of the land side 1a of a square steel pipe 1 that is installed floating above the ground surface G so that a gap is formed between the ground surface G and the square steel pipe 1. The sheet member 2 closes the gap and wraps its tip toward the sea side S to come into contact with the ground surface G.
[0059] The high tide countermeasure car stopper of this embodiment 3 differs from the high tide countermeasure car stopper of embodiments 1 and 2 in the shape of the sheet retaining member 31, but otherwise has the same configuration, so explanations of the similar components will be omitted.
[0060] As shown in (d) of Figure 8, the sheet member 2 of Example 3 is attached to the lower end side of the land side 1a (see Figure 1) of the square steel pipe 1 by an adhesive sheet 33 formed of an adhesive material with waterproof properties on both sides.
[0061] [Seat holding member]
[0062] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the sheet holding member 31 has a comb-shaped holding portion 31a that holds the tip side of the sheet member 2 so that it is not pushed out toward the land by seawater, multiple L-shaped openings 31b that are provided adjacent to the holding portion 11a so as not to prevent rainwater from the land side from flowing toward the sea side S, and an L-shaped fixing portion 31c that fixes it to the ground surface G on the land side.
