AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing methods for pumping water from tanks result in inaccurate placement of the suction nozzle, leading to incomplete water removal due to guesswork in determining hose length and potential bending, which can introduce air into the system.

Method used

A suction pipe stand with fluorescently colored top and bottom rings connected by identical shafts, guiding the nozzle into the tank's bottom pit, ensuring the hose length is optimal for complete water extraction.

Benefits of technology

The stand allows precise alignment of the suction nozzle, ensuring complete water removal without air ingress by maintaining the hose at the necessary length, enhancing operational efficiency.

Abstract

To provide a suction pipe stand capable of dropping a suction pipe accurately into a bottom-mounted pit without removing the suction port of the suction pipe either in the daytime or at night, and vertically holding a suction pipe hose of a necessary, sufficient and appropriate length without excess or deficiency. [Solution] Multiple identically shaped shafts (5) are connected to each ring so that the suction tube hose and suction port do not protrude outside the shaft. The top ring (1) and the bottom ring (4) have fluorescent colors on their upper surfaces. When inserting a suction tube, if you throw it into the fluorescent ring (1), it will be guided by the shaft (5) and the suction port will fall into the bottom pit where the ring (4) is located. In addition, the multiple identically shaped shafts (5) also hold the suction tube hose vertically at the necessary and sufficient length.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a suction pipe stand suitable for pumping water from water tanks such as fire-prevention water tanks, earthquake-resistant water tanks, various water storage tanks, and reservoirs. [Background technology]

[0002] The suction tube stand has multiple shafts (5) of the same shape connected to all the rings.

[0003] The top ring (1) and the bottom ring (4) have fluorescent colors on their top surfaces.

[0004] The intervals between the shafts (5) are smaller than the outer diameter of the hose of the suction pipe and the size of the suction opening of the suction pipe. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0005] [Non-patent literature] Jitsuzenhei 04-126960, Asahi Concrete Co., Ltd. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Conventionally, when pumping water from a fire water tank, earthquake-resistant water tank, various water storage tanks, storage tanks, etc., the suction nozzle was dropped into the water by guesswork when the lid was opened and the suction pipe was dropped into the water, and the length of the hose of the suction pipe inserted into the water was adjusted by guesswork.

[0007] The suction nozzle of the suction pipe did not fit into the bottom pit inside the tank, and it was often not possible to completely suck up the water inside the tank.

[0008] The extent to which the suction pipe hose is inserted into the aquarium must be determined by imagination, and if the hose inserted into the aquarium is too short, the water cannot be completely sucked out, and if the hose is inserted too far, the hose may bend inside the aquarium, causing the suction port to rise above the water surface again, allowing air to get in and making it impossible to suck up water.The present invention aims to provide a suction pipe stand that allows the suction port of the suction pipe to be accurately lowered into a bottom pit both day and night, and that ensures that the hose inserted into the aquarium is only the necessary and sufficient length to completely suck up water. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The straw stand of the present invention is configured such that both the top ring (1) and the bottom ring (4) are fluorescent, and the space between rings (1) and (4) is surrounded by multiple shafts (5) of the same shape. The straw stand body is configured such that ring (4) is housed in a pit at the bottom, and ring (1) is housed inside the straw insertion hole. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] In the present invention, when inserting the suction pipe into the suction pipe insertion hole during the day or night, the fluorescent ring (1) can be used as a marker in the first step, and the fluorescent ring (4) can be used as a marker in the second step to insert the pipe into the bottom pit.

[0011] Furthermore, because the rings (1) and (4) are connected by multiple identically shaped shafts (5), the suction nozzle of the suction tube is guided as it falls until it reaches the inside of the ring (4) in the bottom pit, at which point the suction tube's fall is stopped and the suction tube hose is held vertically by the shaft (5). This holds the suction tube hose in the water for a necessary and sufficient length. As a result, the water in the tank can be completely sucked up. This also contributes to the effective use of the hose length. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0012] [Figure 1]1 is a side view of a stand for a suction tube according to the present invention; [Figure 2] 1 is a plan view of a stand for a suction tube according to the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] 1 and 2 show an embodiment of a suction tube stand according to the present invention. In Fig. 1, a plurality of identically shaped shafts (5) are connected to rings (1), (2), (3), and (4).

[0014] The top ring (1) and the bottom ring (4) have fluorescent colors on their top surfaces. [Explanation of symbols]

Claims

1. A suction tube stand having a ring (1) at the top and a ring (4) at the bottom, with rings (2) and (3) between rings (1) and (4), the number of rings between rings (1) and (4) increasing or decreasing depending on the overall size, and the size of each ring also increasing or decreasing depending on the installation conditions, with multiple shafts (5) of the same shape connected to all of the rings, ring (4) located in a pit at the bottom and ring (1) located inside the suction tube insertion hole.

2. A straw stand in which the top ring (1) and the bottom ring (4) each have a fluorescent color on their upper surface.
