Description

A water-sealing device that enhances the sealing and airtightness of the water-sealing plate

[0001] The present invention relates to a water barrier device, and more specifically, to a water barrier device that enhances the airtightness of the packing part of the water barrier plate side with respect to the pillar when installing a water barrier plate together with a pillar on the inlet side where rainwater rushes in to block the inflow of rainwater as much as possible, and that securely fixes the water barrier plate to the pillar by the rising water pressure to delay the inflow of rainwater as much as possible or to prevent water from rushing in by overflowing into the interior due to a flood.

[0002] In general, in low-lying residential areas, entrances to underground parking lots leading from flat ground to underground areas, subway entrances, etc., a water barrier is installed as an alternative to block the inflow of sudden rainwater and significantly reduce damage to life and property. In the summer when there is a lot of rainfall, water barriers are installed urgently to prevent various flooding accidents.

[0003] A typical water barrier is made by guiding both sides of a rectangular water barrier plate in the middle including both sides of the entrance, depending on the range of the entrance, and maintaining an airtight seal through the tightness of the packing provided on the lower part of the water barrier plate and the front part on both sides, thereby blocking rainwater that suddenly swells and rushes in as much as possible, thereby preventing flooding.

[0004] Looking into the technology of these blocking devices and facilities, Korean Patent No. 10-2378815 (Title: Water barrier device, Registration: March 22, 2022) and Publication Patent No. 10-2023-0060281 (Title: Water barrier gate, Publication: May 4, 2023) are disclosed.

[0005] The above-mentioned technologies are technologies that were applied for and published or registered by the applicant, and that enable the installation of water barriers more easily, prevent damage to the sealing member provided on the water barriers, stably support the water barrier walls of water barriers installed at the underground entrance of a building to block the inflow of rainwater into the underground space of the building, and reduce installation costs with a simplified structure.

[0006] However, due to the pressure of the water gradually increasing, the sealing of the packing of the water-retaining plate to the support had a disadvantage in that the sealing was reduced due to the difference in the degree of adhesion to the support side compared to the attachment conditions of the packing to the water-retaining plate.

[0007] In particular, when the packing is pressed during the initial installation of the water level gauge for the pillar, the water level gauge is pressed and fixed by applying excessive force to the handle lever provided on the upper side of the water level gauge, so the degree of sealing pressure applied to the packing is different on the upper and lower sides, which is a disadvantage in that the airtightness is reduced.

[0008] The present invention has been invented to solve the above-mentioned problems of the related art, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide a water barrier device that increases the airtightness of the packing part of the water barrier plate with respect to the support when installing the water barrier plate together with the support plate on the inlet side where rainwater rushes in to block the inflow of rainwater as much as possible, and to firmly fix the water barrier plate to the support plate by the rising water pressure to delay the inflow of rainwater as much as possible or to prevent water from rushing in by overflowing into the interior due to a flood.

[0009] According to the present invention for achieving the above purpose, in order to detachably guide and install a water barrier plate having packings on both sides of the lower and front sides in a rectangular shape, a water barrier device is provided in which the water barrier plate is detachably installed from a support fixed vertically at the lower end from the wall surfaces on both sides of the entrance and the ground,

[0010] The above-mentioned support is characterized in that one side is open, and an inner lower part is bent in a bent angle shape to closely support the front side packing of the water plate, and an axis guide for fixing the lower side of the water plate is provided, and the water plate is provided with connecting axes on both lower sides, and a locking means is provided on the upper side of the water plate to closely fix the upper side of the water plate that is in contact with the support to the side of the support.

[0011] The shaft guide portion for accommodating the connecting shaft provided on both sides of the water-repellent plate according to the present invention is a block plate that is detachably attached to a support by a fastening screw, and has an insertion port that is open from one side, a first inclined insertion portion that is inclined downward from the insertion port, and a second inclined insertion portion that is bent at an angle opposite to the first inclined insertion portion and on which the connecting shaft is seated and rotated, so that the front packing end of the water-repellent plate is pressed against the support and receives a relative reaction force, thereby forming a close contact structure.

[0012] The locking means according to the present invention,

[0013] A fixed bracket provided on the upper part of the support and having a fixing hole on one side,

[0014] It is characterized by comprising a bracket body having an axis guide portion on one side that is attached to and fixed to the upper sides of the above-mentioned plate and inserted into the above-mentioned fixed bracket, an operating axis portion that is installed through the axis guide portion of the bracket body to be guided, a link member connected to the operating axis portion, and a rotation lever connected to the link member to move the operating axis portion forward and backward according to the rotational motion of the link member.

[0015] The locking means according to the present invention,

[0016] It is characterized by comprising a hook attached to the upper part of the support, a bracket body attached to each of the upper sides of the water plate in a corresponding manner, and a hook lever having an arc-shaped hook piece that is rotatably connected to the bracket body and one side thereof is hooked to the hook according to the rotation angle to prevent the water plate from coming off.

[0017] The locking means according to the present invention,

[0018] It is characterized by comprising a fixed member having a hinge portion and extending to the upper part of the support member, a handle lever rotatably installed on the hinge portion of the fixed member, and a push lever connected to one side of the handle lever by a link so as to rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the handle lever to pressurize and support the upper side of the water plate by pressing it against the support member.

[0019] The handle lever and push lever according to the present invention are characterized in that they are protected by a protective cover when the water level plate is not installed.

[0020] According to the present invention, a water barrier device provides an axial connection at the inner lower portion of both support members, and sequentially guides a connecting shaft provided on both lower sides of a water barrier plate to the axial connection, thereby guiding the shaft to the insertion port of the axial connection, the first inclined insertion portion, the bent portion, and the second inclined insertion portion, thereby ensuring that the packing provided on both sides of the front of the barrier plate maintains contact airtightness with the support member, and stably fixes the water barrier plate using a locking means on the upper side of the water barrier plate, thereby increasing the airtightness of the packing portion on the water barrier plate side when installing the water barrier plate compared to the installation of existing water barrier plates, thereby delaying the inflow of rainwater as much as possible even when the water pressure rises due to overflow of rainwater, or blocking water that overflows and rushes in indoors due to a flood, thereby providing the effect of preventing safety accidents and reducing property damage due to flooding.

[0028] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0029] Prior to this, the terms and words used in this specification and claims should not be interpreted as limited to their usual or dictionary meanings, and should be interpreted as meanings and concepts that conform to the technical idea of ​​the present invention based on the principle that the inventor can appropriately define the concept of the term to explain his or her own invention in the best way.

[0030] Accordingly, the embodiments described in this specification and the configurations illustrated in the drawings are only the most preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all of the technical ideas of the present invention. Therefore, it should be understood that there may be various equivalents and modified examples that can be replaced at the time of filing this application.

[0031] The water leveling device according to the present invention is described as follows with reference to the attached drawings 1 to 11.

[0032] In a water barrier device, in order to detachably guide and install a water barrier (10) having packing (P) on both sides of the lower and front sides of a rectangular body, the water barrier is installed from a support (20) whose lower end is vertically fixed from the wall surfaces on both sides of the entrance and the ground, and the water barrier is detachably installed.

[0033] The above-mentioned support (20) is an angle bent in the shape of the letter L to closely support the front packing (P) of the water plate (10) with one side open, and an axis guide (22) for mounting the water plate is provided on the lower inner side.

[0034] The above-mentioned water plate (10) is provided with a connecting shaft (12) protruding from both sides of the lower portion, and the connecting shaft is manufactured in a form in which a portion of the connecting shaft is embedded and fixed on the inside of the water plate manufactured in the form of a sandwich panel.

[0035] For reference, the upper part of the water gate manufactured in the form of a sandwich panel as described above is provided with multiple handles for easy carrying of the water gate, and separate packing fixing parts are provided on both sides of the bottom and front to attach the packing to the packing fixing parts, and here, the packing is made of a packing material that is extruded in a hollow shape on the inside on one side that comes into contact with the support so as to impart elasticity.

[0036] In addition, a locking means is provided on the upper side of the water plate (10) to securely fix the upper side of the water plate in contact with the support to the support side.

[0037] The shaft guide (22) for accommodating the connecting shaft (12) provided on both sides of the above-mentioned water plate (10) is a block plate that is detachably attached to the support (20) as a fastening screw, and has an insertion port (22a) that is open from one side, a first inclined insertion portion (22b) that is inclined downward from the insertion port, and a second inclined insertion portion (22d) that is formed while having a bent portion (22c) at an angle opposite to the first inclined insertion portion and on which the connecting shaft (12) is seated and rotated, so that the front packing (P) end of the water plate (10) is pressed against the support (20) and receives a relative reaction force, thereby forming a close contact structure.

[0038] The above locking means is installed in three types as shown in the attached drawings 4 to 6, respectively, so as to fix the water plate on the upper side of the support.

[0039] The above locking means (30, 40, 50) are applied as structures with different shapes and fastening methods.

[0040] Looking at the locking means as described above, the locking means (30) illustrated in the attached Fig. 4 is configured to include a fixing bracket (31) provided on the upper portion of the support (20) and having a fixing hole (31a) provided on one side, a bracket body (32) which is respectively attached to and provided on both sides of the upper portion of the water-repellent plate (10) and has an axis guide portion (32a) on one side that is inserted and fixed to the fixing bracket, an operating shaft portion (33) which is installed penetratingly to be guided through the axis guide portion of the bracket body, a link member (34) connected to the operating shaft portion, and a rotation lever (35) which is connected to the link member and moves the operating shaft portion forward and backward according to the rotational motion of the link member.

[0041] The locking means (40) in the attached drawing 5 is composed of a hook (41) attached to the upper part of the support (20), a bracket body (42) attached to the upper sides of the water plate (10) corresponding to each other, and a hook lever (43) that is rotatably connected to the bracket body (42) and has an arc-shaped hook piece (43a) that hooks one side to the hook (41) according to the rotation angle to prevent the water plate (10) from coming off.

[0042] The locking means (50) in the attached drawing 6 is configured to include a fixed member (51) extending to the upper part of the support (20) and having a hinge portion (51a), a handle lever (52) rotatably installed on the hinge portion (51a) of the fixed member (51), and a push lever (54) connected to one side of the handle lever by a link member (53) and rotating in conjunction with the rotation of the handle lever (52) to pressurize and support the upper side of the water plate (10) toward the support (20).

[0043] The above type of locking means (50) is one of the widely used locking means, which is configured such that when the handle lever (52) is rotated 90° clockwise, the push lever (54) rotates 90° clockwise to bring the water plate into contact with the front of the support part.

[0044] In addition, as shown in the attached Fig. 11, the handle lever (52) and the push lever (54) are characterized by being covered with a protective cover (55) when the water level plate (10) is not installed. This is to prevent safety accidents caused by collisions, as the locking means applied as shown in Fig. 6 is exposed on the upper side of the support.

[0045] The operation of the water level measuring device of the present invention configured in this manner according to its use is described as follows.

[0046] Normally, the installation of a water barrier is performed by installing and fixing a support (20) corresponding to the entrance to an underground main yard or the front entrance of a house in a low-lying area, allowing entry of people or vehicles, and when overflow of rainwater due to rain is predicted, the water barrier (10) is fixed by guiding the connecting shaft (12) of the lower part of the support (20) from the upper side to the shaft guide (22), thereby supporting the water barrier (10) from both sides of the lower part.

[0047] In the process described above, the packing provided along the length direction of the bottom surface of the water plate (10) is pressed against the flat ground and at the same time, the bottom of the water plate is sealed by the weight of the water plate.

[0048] When the connecting shaft (12) is inserted into the open portion of the insertion port (22a) forming the above-mentioned shaft guide portion (22), the connecting shaft (12) is naturally guided along the first inclined insertion portion (22b) extending from the insertion port.

[0049] At this time, the first inclined insertion portion (22b) is inclined downward, and as shown in the attached drawing 10, when the first inclined insertion portion (22b) is positioned at the bend portion (22c), the packing (P) positioned on both sides of the front of the water plate (10) is in a state of maximum pressure, and the connecting shaft (12) is guided and settled at the short section of the second inclined insertion portion (22d) extending from the bend portion.

[0050] In the above state, the lower side of the water plate (10) is first sealed against the support (20) due to the relative pressure of the packing (P) located on both sides of the front of the water plate (10).

[0051] In the above state, the upper side of the water plate (10) is pushed and pressed toward the upper side of the support (20) while the locking means (30, 40, 50) is fastened to fix the water plate to the support, thereby completing the installation.

[0052] When the locking means (30, 40, 50) are fastened as described above, the water barrier (10) is firmly supported by the packing (P) on both sides of the front and the bottom with respect to the support (20), thereby blocking water that may flow in from the outside up to the height of the water barrier, thereby blocking a significant amount of water from flowing in and preventing flooding accidents.

[0053] As shown in the attached drawings 4 and 7, the above locking means (30) is a structure that rotates the rotation lever (35) provided in the bracket body (32) on the side of the water plate (10) into the fixing hole (31a) of the fixing bracket (31) provided on the upper part of the support (20) to guide the link member (34) connected to the rotation lever and the operating shaft part (33) connected to the link member to the shaft guide part (32a) to advance in a straight state and insert it, thereby enabling the upper sides of the water plate (10) to be fixed to the support side respectively, thereby maintaining airtightness under the condition of pressurizing the packing (P) provided on both front sides of the water plate (10).

[0054] In addition, the locking means (40) of another embodiment is a type in which a hook lever (43) is rotated from a bracket body (42) which is respectively attached to both upper sides of the water-repellent plate (10) to a hook (41) attached to the upper part of the support (20) to hook a hook piece (43a) and fasten the water-repellent plate (10) to the upper part of the support (20) so as to maintain the airtightness of the packing (P) on the water-repellent plate (10) side and block the inflow of rainwater.

[0055] Meanwhile, another embodiment of the locking means (50) is a type that rotates a handle lever (52) that is rotatably installed on a hinge portion (51a) of a fixed member (51) that is extended to the upper portion of a support (20), as shown in the attached FIGS. 6 and 9, and a push lever (54) connected to one side of the handle lever by a link member (53) is pressed against the upper side of the embroidery plate positioned toward the support, thereby fixing the water plate, thereby maintaining the airtightness of the packing (P) on the water plate (10) side as described above, thereby blocking the inflow of rainwater.

[0056] That is, the water-repellent plate (10) is finally fixed to the support (20) through the above-described locking means (30, 40, 50) and, in accordance with the installation process, the water-repellent plate can simultaneously seal both the bottom and the front sides without being biased towards any one area, thereby preventing water penetration.

[0057] As described above, the present invention has been described with specific details such as specific components and limited examples and drawings, but these are provided only to help a more general understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above examples, and those with ordinary knowledge in the field to which the present invention pertains can make various modifications and variations from this description.

[0058] Therefore, the idea of ​​the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, and all things that are equivalent or equivalent to the claims described below as well as the claims are considered to fall within the scope of the idea of ​​the present invention.
