Description

[0001] Rainwater collector device

[0002] The rainwater collector solution relates to the field of water management and drainage and can be used for the construction and installation of systems for water drainage.

[0003] Rainwater collectors are known from prior art. In particular, the grating solution in the patent “Sump” (patent EP2568090A1), consists of a square receiving frame that transitions into a body in the form of a solid cast cube, and the sides and bottom of the body contain markings for cutting holes.

[0004] The invention does not suggest the compact stacking of the rainwater collectors one inside another due to their cubic shape. The rainwater collectors can only be stacked one inside another to the depth of the set width of the square receiving frame. Additionally, the solution lacks the functionality of adapters with pipes.

[0005] There is also “Catch basin having selectable port position” known from the prior art it is known (patent US2008085157A1) consisting of a square receiving frame that transitions into a cuboid-shaped body consisting of a plurality of separate side walls containing grooves and fasteners for adapters with pipes, and the side walls and bottom of the body contain holes for a removable adapter for connection to a pipe.

[0006] Significant technical disadvantages of the solution are increased material consumption due to the rectangular shape of the body, also there is a need to manufacture a large number of components for assembling them.

[0007] In addition, the bending and compression strength is reduced due to the multicomponent nature of the solution, in particular when using a removable pipe connection adapter, the plane of which serves as the wall of the solution, which accordingly reduces its strength.

[0008] The closest to what is claimed is the rainwater collector described in the patent “Distribution box” (patent ES2227735T3), which consists of a square receiving frame that transitions into a body in the form of a solid cuboid, which is narrowed downwardly, a horizontal stepped edge is located in the central section inside the side walls, and the side walls and bottom of the body contain marks for cutting holes, also containing a nonremovable adapter with marks for pipes.

[0009] Given that a horizontal stepped edge with pipe connection ports is located in the central section inside the side walls, this makes it possible to partially stack the products one inside the other.

[0010] At the same time, the significant technical disadvantages of the solution are the increased material consumption due to the rectangular shape of the body, the complexity of the design during manufacture, in particular, given the need to achieve sufficient rigidity of the structure along the edges of the rainwater collector, stiffening ribs are provided. The use of a non-removable adapter with markings for pipes increases the area of the structure and material consumption and further reduces the efficiency of stacking products one inside another (increased compactness of stacking).

[0011] The present invention aims at creating a rainwater collector, where the new design solutions and the mutual arrangement of components, a higher level of compactness will be achieved, in particular for compact storage. An additional task is to ensure the strength of the rainwater collector's structure against bending and compression and to reduce the material intensity of the rainwater collector. Furthermore, the task is set to improve the environmental friendliness of the product's manufacture through the use of recycled materials and, as a result, to reduce its carbon footprint.

[0012] The aim is reached in the proposed rainwater collector, which consists of a receiving frame and a body, the receiving frame containing places for mounting the grate and transitions into a cast body, and the sides and bottom of the body contain marks for cutting holes, wherein the body is made in the form of an inverted truncated cone, with at least one place for a pipe connection adapter made around the perimeter of the sides of the body. <

[0013] The rainwater collector can be made detachable. The body may contain at least one pre-cut hole. The receiving frame can be round or square. The receiving frame has a o vertical, horizontal, or z-shaped edge around the perimeter where the grate is placed. The edge of the receiving frame can be made of metal and / or plastic (including recycled products). Support ribs may be made along the lower edge of the receiving frame at a specified pitch. Markings for cutting holes may be made concentrically or as a truncated circle. The place for the pipe connection adapter may be represented by a place with grooves.

[0014] Disclosure of the invention. The design of the rainwater collector body in the form of an inverted truncated cone and, accordingly, the slope of the walls of such a truncated body and the absence of pipes protruding beyond the dimensions of the body for connecting the pipe (taking into account the removability of the adapter) allows for an increase in the pallet norm when stacking the product one on top of another, which indicates a higher level of compactness of the claimed solution. The inverted truncated cone shape of the rainwater collector body provides increased bending and compression strength, which is further enhanced by the use of support ribs. The inverted truncated cone shape of the body and the provision of pre-prepared places in the rainwater collector body for the pipe connection adapter reduce material consumption. The representation of the rainwater collector from recycled metal and / or plastic products increases the environmental friendliness of the product's production and, accordingly, reduces its carbon footprint.

[0024] Fig. 1 shows the front view of the rainwater collector in axonometric projection, showing the rectangular design of the receiving frame 1 and the body 2. The receiving frame may additionally contain sides 3, which are located in the places for installing the grate 4 and rest on the body 2. The sides of the body 2 contain places for the pipe connection adapter 5 (at least one) with marks for cutting holes 6 (for direct connection to the pipe). The markings for cutting holes 6 can be located on the sides and bottom of the body 2 with the possibility of connecting the pipe directly without an adapter (if necessary, additional seals are used). Additionally, to increase the strength of the body 2 of the rainwater collector, support ribs 7 are placed around the perimeter of the receiving frame 1. The receiving frame 1 around the perimeter may have a vertical, horizontal, or z-shaped side and may be reinforced with a metal side (Fig. 1 shows an example of a z-shaped side).

[0025] Fig. 2 shows a view of the rainwater collector from below and from the side in axonometric projection, where, among other things, marks for cutting holes 6 at the bottom of the body 2 are shown. Figs. 3 and 4 show variants of the receiving frame 1 , a rectangular and a round receiving frame in axonometric projection, respectively. Rectangular or round frames are selected according to the selected configuration of the rainwater collector grid.

[0026] Fig. 5 shows a diagram of the integration of the main elements of the invention, which includes an illustration of the installation of the receiving basket 8 in the receiving frame 1 (the basket is used for additional filtration of wastewater and to facilitate maintenance of the rainwater collector), and the pipe connection adapter 9 into the recesses with internal grooves for the pipe connection adapter 5. The pipe connection adapter 9 is fixed in place with grooves and / or connected with clips and / or glue and / or self-tapping screws and / or additional screw elements.

[0028] Fig. 7 shows an example of stacking rainwater collectors one inside another. Stacking the proposed rainwater collectors one inside the other allows for compactness. In particular, the rainwater collectors are stacked one inside the other in such a way that the upper rainwater collector A sits with the bottom of its receiving frame 1 and is fixed in the internal projections of sides of the receiving frame 3 (places for installing the grate) of rainwater collector B. At the same time, due to the design of the body in the form of an inverted truncated cone, the movement of the upper rainwater collector A is fixed by the conical narrowing of the body of the rainwater collector B.

[0029] Fig. 8 shows an example of the use of the claimed rainwater collector, where several rainwater collectors can be connected into a complex system for receiving and subsequently draining rainwater.
