Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention is suitable for kitchens (including sinks) and bathrooms (including washstands).
This invention relates to a type of pipe cleaner that is housed and used inside a drain pipe.

Conventionally, cleaning agents such as sulfamic acid were put into drain pipes such as sinks to unclog drain pipes, but since it was only a one-time treatment, it was not possible to sustainably clean the inside of drain pipes. This is not possible, and economically, a large amount of cleaning agent is used at one time, resulting in a lot of waste.Furthermore, the continuous cleaning effect inside the drain pipe is completely insufficient.

The present invention has been made with the aim of eliminating the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional methods. Namely, the present invention is a pipe cleaner that is used by being suspended from the upper end opening of a sink, a washbasin, or a drain pipe in a bathroom. A rod-shaped main body having a large number of retainers extending radially and vertically in multiple stages, a solid cleaning agent fixedly held on the main body while being prevented from coming off by the retainers, and the main body The present invention relates to a pipe cleaner characterized in that it includes a support portion provided at the upper end portion and latched to the upper end opening of the drain pipe.

As mentioned above, the pipe cleaner of the present invention is used by being housed inside the drain pipe, so it is easy to install, does not take up much space, and can maintain the aromatic cleaning effect necessary for cleaning the drain pipe. It has many features, such as being economical as it can be used for a long time with only one installation, and being able to trap and remove hair etc. due to the stopper that appears as the solid cleaning agent is consumed.

In the present invention, the term "cleaning agent" refers to an agent that has the effects necessary for cleaning drain pipes, such as aroma, cleaning, pest and mouse control, and sterilization.
It is fixedly held on the rod-shaped main body in an appropriate form such as a polygonal column or a cylinder.

The above-mentioned cleaning agents include air fresheners, deodorants, disinfectants, cleaning agents, insecticides, insecticides, insect repellents, pest repellents, rodent repellents, slime control agents, algaecides, One or more of enzyme agents, gas adsorbents such as activated carbon, and wastewater treatment agents such as oil-water separation agents may be used. These cleaning agents may be modified in various ways to have sustained effect.

In the present invention, the rod-shaped body may be either solid or hollow, and if it is hollow, the hollow portion may be filled with a pipe cleaning agent or the like.

In this invention, the support part can be of any type, such as a hanging method, a fastening method, or a fitting method, as long as it can prevent the main body from falling into the depths of the drain pipe. It may have a structure (mesh-like, lattice-like, cross-like, composite ring-like, or variations thereof) that can remove hair and the like. The size, shape, etc. are not limited in any way as long as they do not interfere with the support part.

The present invention will be described in detail below based on an illustrated example of its implementation.

In one embodiment of the invention shown in FIG.
A cleaning agent 3 is fixedly held on a rod-shaped main body 1 having a plurality of radially projecting retainers 1a arranged vertically in multiple stages, and a cross-shaped support portion 2 is provided at the upper end of the main body 1.

In use, when the main body 1 is inserted into the drain pipe through the upper end opening, the upper end support portion 2 is locked into the upper end opening and suspended within the drain pipe. Therefore, when in use, it can be set by simply inserting it into the drain pipe, making installation extremely simple and space-saving. After installation, the cleaning agent 3 fixedly held on the main body 1 comes into contact with wastewater and is eluted or volatilized, so that treatment according to the medicinal efficacy is continuously performed. Further, as the cleaning agent 3 is consumed by elution or volatilization, the retainer 1a appears on the outside,
Since it captures and removes hair etc. from the drainage water, the main unit
By removing the trapped hair from the drain pipe as appropriate, the risk of clogging the pipe due to hair can be eliminated.

FIG. 2 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a modification of FIG. 1, in which a cylindrical cover 4 is fixed at the upper and lower parts of the main body 1 so as to surround the cleaning agent 3 fixedly held on the main body 1. In this case, it is advantageous that the cylindrical cover 4 can control the amount of water relative to the medicine 3.

FIG. 3 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing still another example of implementing the present invention, in which a mesh cover 4 surrounds the main body 1, and a fan-shaped guide portion 5' is attached to the bottom 4b of the cover 4 and rotates in the axial direction. A case is shown in which a cleaning agent 3 is fixed to a main body 1 which is freely provided and has a retainer 1a. In this case, since the guide part 5' is provided on the bottom part 4b of the cover 4, the guide part 5' rotates and guides the eluted cleaning agent toward the inner wall of the pipe, so that the cleaning agent and the inner wall of the pipe are connected to each other. This can increase your chances of contact.

FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view showing still another example of implementing the present invention, in which a retainer 1a is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 1 having a mesh-like bottom 1b, and a cleaning agent 3 is provided on the outer peripheral surface. This figure shows a case in which the pipe is fixed and the space on the inner peripheral surface side is filled with a pipe cleaning agent 3'. In this case, by pouring hot water from the top of the main body 1 toward the center, the entire amount of the pipe cleaning agent 3' flows into the drain pipe from the mesh bottom 1b.
There is an advantage that the clog in the drain pipe can be temporarily removed, and then the cleaning agent 3 fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the main body 1 can perform continuous cleaning.
