As shown in FIG. 19, the introduction joint portion 60 is arranged so that the check valve outlet outer opening 33 of the main body joint portion 15 and the pipe end connection ports 61, 62, 63 face each other. Further, the rotation position of the inner cylinder portion 50 is set to the position where the inner opening 51 for taking out the check valve and the outer opening 33 for taking out the check valve of the outer cylinder portion 30 communicate with each other, and the introduction joint of the outer cylinder portion 30 is set. The outer concave groove 45 for passing through the portion and the inner concave groove 57 for passing through the introduction joint portion of the inner cylinder portion 50 are in a state of being in communication with each other. Then, the introduced joint portion 60 is assembled by bringing the introduced joint portion 60 closer to the main body joint portion 15 in the horizontal direction so that the locked pieces 72, 72 of the introduced joint portion 60 are brought into contact with the upper connecting piece portion 36. .. Then, in this assembly process, the outer edge of the connecting piece portion 36 of the main body joint portion 15 is fitted into the guide groove portion 73 of the introduction joint portion 60, and the guide convex portion 74 of the introduction joint portion 60 is used for connecting a pair of upper and lower parts. It fits into the gap between the pieces 36 and 37. Then, the introduced joint portion 60 becomes slidable with respect to the main body joint portion 15 while the joint portion connecting guide portion 71 of the introduced joint portion 60 receives a guiding action by the outer edge of the connecting piece portion 36. Then, as shown in FIGS. 4b and 5, when the locked piece portion 72 of the introduction joint portion 60 gets over the locking step portion 41 and the introduction joint portion 60 is temporarily fixed to the main body joint portion 15, the introduction joint is formed. The portion 60 is attached to the main body joint portion 15. In such a mounted state, since the guide convex portion 74 of the introduction joint portion 60 is fitted between the upper and lower pair of connecting pieces 36 and 37 of the main body joint portion 15, the introduction joint portion 60 is fitted to the main body joint portion 15. On the other hand, the structure is such that it is difficult to detach upward.

When the assembled state is obtained by the above procedure, the main body joint portion 15 is connected to the downstream end portion of the introduction joint portion 60, and for example, the drainage introduced into the introduction joint portion 60 has outlets 61b, 62b, 63b. It flows out to the drainage space 16 through the drainage space 16.

By the way, in the process of mounting the introduction joint portion 60 while sliding it with respect to the main body joint portion 15, the first guide transmission portion 65 and the second guide transmission portion 66 of the introduction joint portion 60 communicate with each other in the main body joint portion 15. It passes through the concave groove portion formed by the outer concave groove 45 for passing through the introduction joint portion and the inner concave groove 57 for passing through the introduction joint portion. Therefore, the first guide transmission portion 65 and the second guide transmission portion 66 do not hinder the sliding operation of the introduction joint portion 60 at the time of mounting.

By executing the reverse procedure of the assembly procedure described above, the introduction joint portion 60 in the temporarily fixed state can be slid in the opposite direction with respect to the main body joint portion 15 to be properly detached.

At this time, the outer cylinder portion 30 of the main body joint portion 15 is arranged so that the outer water passage portion 32 faces the upstream side drainage pipe end portions 5, 6 and 7 side of the preceding piping. In FIG. 20, only the central upstream drainage pipe end portion 6 is shown in cross section, and the description of the other upstream drainage pipe end portions 5 and 7 is simplified by omitting the illustration.

Here, the rotation position of the inner cylinder portion 50 is a position in which the inner opening portion 51 for taking out the check valve and the outer opening portion 33 for taking out the check valve of the outer cylinder portion 30 are in communication with each other in the open state γ. Then, the outer concave groove 45 for passing through the introduction joint portion of the outer cylinder portion 30 and the inner concave groove 57 for passing through the introduction joint portion of the inner cylinder portion 50 are in communication with each other.

In this state, as shown in FIG. 21, the introduction joint portion 60 is attached to the main body joint portion 15. Here, in the initial position before sliding the introduction joint portion 60, the pipe end connection ports 61, 62, 63 of the introduction joint portion 60 are separated from the upstream drainage pipe ends 5, 6, 7 in the separated state ε. Will be. Then, in the separated state ε, the pipe end portions of the upstream drainage pipe end portions 5, 6 and 7 are cut to an appropriate length.

Then, the introduction joint portion 60 at the initial position is slid in a direction approaching the upstream drainage pipe ends 5, 6 and 7, and the pipe end connection ports 61, 62, 63 of the introduction joint 60 and the upstream drainage pipe are drained. It is assumed that the connection state is ζ in which the pipe ends 5, 6 and 7 are connected (see FIG. 23). Since the introduction joint portion 60 slides in the direction along the pipe axis of the upstream drainage pipe end portions 5, 6 and 7, the connected state ζ can be surely obtained.

After that, as shown in FIG. 22, the inner cylinder portion 50 is rotated with respect to the outer cylinder portion 30, and the outer water passage portion 32 and the check valve take-out inner opening 51 are in communication with each other. The pipe connection work is completed with.

In this way, even if the upstream drainage pipe end portions 5, 6 and 7 and the downstream drainage pipe portion 10 that have been previously piped are in the state of hell piping, the indirect drainage joint 1 is used to easily connect the pipes. be able to.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 23, when a defect occurs in the check valve 20 due to deterioration over time or the like, only the check valve 20 can be replaced in the indirect drainage joint 1. Specifically, when the inner cylinder portion 50 is rotated with respect to the outer cylinder portion 30 to bring the open state γ, the check valve 20 in the indirect drainage joint 1 is changed to the check valve outer opening 33 for taking out the check valve. A new check valve 20 can be attached by pulling out the check valve from the inside opening 51 for taking out the check valve. Further, when the inner cylinder portion 50 is rotated with respect to the outer cylinder portion 30 and the guide protrusion portion 35 is brought into contact with the groove end on the other side of the guide groove portion 56, the outer water passage portion 32 and the check valve take-out inner opening are brought into contact with each other. It is possible to set the usage state δ in which the unit 51 communicates with the unit 51.

[Advantages of joint for indirect drainage 1]
The advantages of the indirect drainage joint 1 are described below in order.

The introduction joint portion 60 is slidable along the pipe axis direction of the pipe end portions of the upstream drain pipe end portions 5, 6 and 7 with respect to the main body joint portion 15 connected to the downstream side drain pipe portion 10. Therefore, the introduction joint portion 60 is in a separated state ε separated from the pipe ends of the upstream drainage pipe ends 5, 6 and 7, and the introduction joint portion 60 is the pipe end portions of the upstream drainage pipe ends 5, 6 and 7. The state can be converted to the connection state ζ connected to. Therefore, even in the state of the hell pipe, it is not necessary to shift the positions of the upstream drainage pipe end portions 5, 6, 7, and the like, so that the indirect drainage joint 1 can be appropriately and easily applied.

Even in a usage environment where there are a plurality of upstream drainage pipe end portions 5, 6 and 7, since the introduction joint portion 60 is provided with a plurality of pipe end portion connection ports 61, 62, 63, a plurality of drains and the like are drained. Can be treated as wastewater at once.

When the inner cylinder portion 50 of the main body joint portion 15 is rotated with respect to the outer cylinder portion 30 and the outer water passage portion 32 and the inner opening 51 for taking out the check valve are in communication with each other, the drainage is momentum. Even if it often flows into the drainage space 16, this drainage hits the non-water passage portion 52 and flows down appropriately. Therefore, the drainage that has flowed into the drainage space 16 does not directly scatter to the outside via the outer water passage portion 32.

On the wall surface portion of the introduction joint portion 60 facing the outlets 61b, 62b, 63b, a convex first guide transmission portion 65 and a second guide transmission portion 66 that transmit the drainage and guide the drainage to the drainage space 16 are provided. It protrudes vertically downward. Therefore, the drainage introduced along the direction intersecting the vertical direction can be appropriately guided in a different direction so as to be directed to the drainage space 16.

Drainage passages 61a, 62a, 63a are individually formed for each of the pipe end connection ports 61, 62, 63 provided in the introduction joint portion 60, and the downstream ends of the drainage passages 61a, 62a, 63a are along the vertical direction. Outlets 61b, 62b, 63b that are independently opened downward are provided. Therefore, even when a large amount of drainage is introduced into the introduction joint portion 60, the drainage flowing through one drainage passage 61a, 62a, 63a flows into another drainage passage 61a, 62a, 63a and flows back. Can be prevented.

The drainage guide first wall portion 61c can smoothly guide the drainage in the drainage passage 61a to the outlet 61b side. Further, the drainage guide second wall portion 61d continuous with the drainage guide first wall portion 61c is separated from the outer water passage portion 32 by guiding the drainage flowing out from the outlet 61b toward the axis of the main body joint portion 15. Moreover, it is possible to discharge the wastewater at a position close to the non-water passage portion 52, and it is possible to prevent the drainage from directly scattering to the outside.

Since the non-water passage portion 52 is provided with the convex portion 53 along the vertical direction, the drainage flowing through the non-water passage portion 52 is smoothly guided downward and flows down in the normal state.

In particular, in a configuration in which the upstream drainage pipe end portions 5, 6 and 7 are connected sideways to the introduction joint portion 60, drainage easily flows down the inner peripheral surface of the main body joint portion 15 in a spiral manner. , The convex portion 53 can be suitably used to flow downward.

At the boundary between the inner opening 51 for taking out the check valve of the inner cylinder portion 50 and the non-water passage portion 52, convex barrier portions 54 and 54 protruding toward the axis side of the main body joint portion 15 are vertically oriented. It is formed along. Therefore, the barrier portions 54 and 54 are located at the boundary between the outer water passage portion 32 and the non-water passage portion 52 in the usage state δ, and the drainage flowing through the non-water passage portion 52 passes through the outer water passage portion 32. It can be prevented from being scattered to the outside through.

By rotating the inner cylinder portion 50 with respect to the outer cylinder portion 30, the state can be freely changed between the open state γ and the used state δ. Therefore, maintenance such as replacement of the check valve 20 and cleaning of the drainage space 16 becomes easy.

Since the lower end of the inner cylinder portion 50 is supported from below by the convex step portion 34 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder portion 30, the structure is simplified and the manufacturing cost can be suppressed to a low level.

Further, a downward inclined portion 55 that inclines downward toward the inside is provided at the lower end portion of the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylinder portion 50, and the lower end of the downward inclined portion 55 is a convex step portion 34 of the outer cylinder portion 30. It is located on the axis side of the inner cylinder portion 50 with respect to the tip of the inner cylinder portion 50. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the drainage flowing along the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylinder portion 50 from leaking from the gap between the inner cylinder portion 50 and the outer cylinder portion 30, and an auxiliary member such as an O-ring is not required.

The outer cylinder portion 30 is provided with a guide protrusion 35, and the inner cylinder portion 50 is formed with a guide groove portion 56 into which the guide protrusion 35 is inserted. Then, when the inner cylinder portion 50 is rotated with respect to the outer cylinder portion 30, when the guide protrusion portion 35 comes into contact with the groove end on one side of the guide groove portion 56, the open state γ is set and the other side of the guide groove portion 56 is set. When the guide protrusion 35 comes into contact with the groove end of the above, the used state δ is reached. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the inner cylinder portion 50 from unintentionally rotating due to the force of the drainage spirally transmitted on the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylinder portion 50. Further, since the rotation range of the inner cylinder portion 50 is restricted, the rotation work of the inner cylinder portion 50 becomes easy at the time of maintenance.

Further, since the concave finger hooking recess 58 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder portion 50, the rotation operation of the inner cylinder portion 50 becomes easy.

[Main part of the present invention]
The main parts of the present invention will be described again below.

Even in a usage environment where there are a plurality of upstream drainage pipe end portions 5, 6 and 7, since the introduction joint portion 60 is provided with a plurality of pipe end portion connection ports 61, 62, 63, a plurality of drains and the like are drained. Can be treated as wastewater at once.

Drainage passages 61a, 62a, 63a are individually formed for each of the pipe end connection ports 61, 62, 63 provided in the introduction joint portion 60, and the downstream ends of the drainage passages 61a, 62a, 63a are along the vertical direction. Outlets 61b, 62b, 63b that are independently opened downward are provided. Therefore, even when a large amount of drainage is introduced into the introduction joint portion 60, the drainage flowing through one drainage passage 61a, 62a, 63a flows into another drainage passage 61a, 62a, 63a and flows back. Can be prevented.

On the wall surface portion of the introduction joint portion 60 facing the outlets 61b, 62b, 63b, a convex first guide transmission portion 65 and a second guide transmission portion 66 that transmit the drainage and guide the drainage to the drainage space 16 are provided. It protrudes vertically downward. Therefore, the drainage introduced along the direction intersecting the vertical direction can be appropriately guided in a different direction so as to be directed to the drainage space 16.

The drainage in the drainage passage 61a is smoothly guided to the outlet 61b side by the drainage guide first wall portion 61c. Further, the drainage flowing out from the outlet 61b is guided toward the axis of the main body joint portion 15 by the drainage guide second wall portion 61d continuous to the drainage guide first wall portion 61c, and is separated from the outer water passage portion 32. In addition, since the drainage is discharged at a position close to the non-water passage portion 52, the drainage is prevented from being directly scattered to the outside.

In the above embodiment, the dimensions and shape of each part can be freely selected as appropriate. It is desirable that the height of the outer water passage portion 32 is 50 mm or more in order to surely realize indirect drainage.

Further, the number of pipe end connection ports 61, 62, 63 is not limited to three, and may be two or more.

The pipe ends of the upstream drainage pipe ends 5, 6 and 7 do not have to be along the horizontal direction, and may be in a direction intersecting the vertical direction. Further, correspondingly, the sliding direction of the introduction joint portion 60 can be appropriately determined. However, considering the ease of construction, it is desirable that the pipe ends of the upstream drainage pipe ends 5, 6 and 7 are in the horizontal direction.

Further, it is sufficient that the separated state ε and the connected state ζ can be appropriately obtained within the slidable range of the introduction joint portion 60, and it is not necessary to be the separated state ε or the connected state ζ at the limit position of the slidable range.

The first guide transmission unit 65 and the second guide transmission unit 66 may be individually formed or may be formed so as to project vertically downward so as to surround the outlets 61b, 62b, 63b.

The convex portion 53 provided in the non-water passage portion 52 may be a concave portion formed by being recessed in the concave rather than the convex.

As the check valve 20 as the fluid backflow prevention means, a backflow prevention means configured by another known technique may be used.

When connecting the upstream drainage pipe ends 5, 6 and 7 and the downstream drainage pipe portion 10 to the indirect drainage joint 1, an adhesive, sealing tape or the like may be used.

Further, the main body joint portion 15 does not have to adopt a double structure including an outer cylinder portion 30 and an inner cylinder portion 50.

Further, the indirect drainage joint 1 may be used not only for indirect drainage of drainage such as drainage, but also for indirect drainage of rainwater.

Further, the indirect drainage joint 1 described so far has a structure in which the introduction joint portion 60 is slidable with respect to the main body joint portion 15 in order to ensure ease of construction, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, for example, the introduction joint portion 60 may have a structure in which the introduction joint portion 60 is fixed in advance to the main body joint portion 15 so as not to be slidable, or the introduction joint portion 60 and the main body joint portion 15 are integrated. Of course, that's fine.
