Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a flow rate increasing device, and more specifically, to a flow rate increasing device which is arranged on a water pipe or a water pipeline or any other fluid transfer pipe body to increase the flow rate. Background Art

[0002] Generally speaking, the most basic prerequisite for the existence of a city where a large number of people live together is the transportation of drinking water and the discharge of sewage.

[0003] In addition, the city's drinking water source is usually located at a certain distance from the city, that is, a river or lake where almost no or very little pollutants flow in. After the raw water is collected from it, it is disinfected in a water treatment plant and then transported to various use sites. Therefore, in order to collect raw water, disinfect it, and use it as drinking water, a water pipeline is required.

[0004] In addition, sewage discharged by each household also requires sewer pipes. Various foreign matter contained in the water or corrosion products on the inner surface of the pipes will accumulate inside the sewer pipes due to the flow of water. The pipes have the disadvantage of becoming narrower and narrower due to the accumulation.

[0005] Therefore, in order to minimize the accumulation of deposits inside the pipeline, the flow rate of the fluid needs to be increased as much as possible. There are no major problems with water supply pipelines that transport large amounts of fluid at high pressure or oil well pipelines used to transport oil, etc. However, sewage pipelines basically have the problem of only accumulating deposits.

[0006] As mentioned above, the reason why there is a problem of accumulation in sewer pipes is that there are many foreign objects in the sewage itself, and the sewage is not discharged by forced methods such as pumps, but by natural methods such as descent or inclination. At the same time, the amount of sewage discharged is also uneven.

[0007] That is, the sewage pipes are designed based on the maximum amount of sewage discharged, but the amount of sewage discharged varies with time, season, etc. When the minimum amount of sewage is discharged through the sewage pipe designed to withstand the maximum amount of sewage, the flow rate of the sewage can only be extremely slow. At this time, due to the slow flow rate, foreign matter contained in the sewage cannot flow into the sewage treatment plant with the sewage and can only accumulate in the pipe.

[0008] In particular, during the dry season, the lack of sewage inflow will lead to a further increase in the amount of foreign matter accumulated in the pipes, but in fact, there is no means to minimize it.

[0009] In view of this, there is an urgent need to research and develop a flow rate increasing device that can increase the flow rate when transporting water and smoothly transport tap water to each household even without using artificial means to form high hydraulic pressure; and increase the flow rate when discharging sewage to prevent accumulation from clogging the sewer pipe.

[0015] (Patent Document 4) KR Patent Publication No. 10-2012-0126503 (November 21, 2012) Summary of the invention

[0016] The technical problem of the present invention is to form a certain flow along the water supply pipe or the water discharge pipe, so that the flowing fluid generates vortex and quickly guides it to pass through, thereby increasing the flow rate of the water supply or the water discharge as a whole.

[0017] The above technical problems to be achieved by the present invention are not limited to the above technical problems, and a person skilled in the art in the technical field to which the present invention belongs should be able to clearly understand other technical problems not mentioned based on the following description.

[0018] The above technical problem is characterized in that it includes: a pipe body, which is arranged on the water pipes to allow the fluid to pass through; a vortex generating part, which starts from a position at a certain interval from the front end of the pipe body and is formed along the length direction with a spiral structure, with at least one protrusion, or is formed on the water pipes with an integral protrusion to generate a vortex of the fluid; a first flow velocity increasing part, which penetrates along the length direction of the vortex generating part to allow the fluid to pass through, forming a flow velocity faster than the internal average flow velocity of the pipe body; a second flow velocity increasing part, which is arranged on the upper and two side parts of the periphery of the vortex generating part along the length direction, provides a flow path for the fluid, guides the flow of the fluid from the upper and two side areas of the vortex generating part to the flow path, and forms a flow velocity faster than the internal average flow velocity of the pipe body.

[0019] The first flow velocity increasing portion is formed as: a through hole penetrating along the length direction of the vortex generating portion, and the second flow velocity increasing portion is formed in the shape of a groove on the upper part and both sides of the vortex generating portion, and the groove is formed as a hemispherical structure to facilitate guiding the fluid, or is formed as an angular structure to facilitate guiding the fluid while giving a certain straightness in the groove.

[0020] The pipe body is arranged inside the upper and lower water pipes, or arranged at the front end of the upper and lower water pipes, or connected between the upper and lower water pipes, combined with the upper water pipe by hot-melt connection, and combined with the lower water pipe by attachment.

[0021] When the pipe body is arranged inside the water pipe, the front and rear ends in the length direction are respectively formed with guiding inclined surfaces, so as to minimize the flow impedance of the fluid flowing along the water pipe.

[0022] When the tube body is observed from the front, the vortex generating parts are arranged correspondingly on the top, bottom, left and right of the tube body.

[0023] The pipe body is made of any material selected from PVC pipe, stainless steel pipe, steel pipe, polyethylene pipe, concrete pipe, cast iron pipe and synthetic resin pipe.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0025] According to the present invention, the fluid flowing along the water pipes is guided to pass through the interior of the pipe body with rapid flow accompanied by strong vortices by means of the organically combined structure of the vortex generating part, the first flow velocity increasing part and the second flow velocity increasing part, thereby significantly increasing the flow velocity of tap water or sewage.

[0026] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the flow rate of tap water or sewage is increased, so that when conveying tap water, there is no need to artificially form high hydraulic pressure, and the flow rate can be increased to smoothly convey tap water to each household. When discharging sewage, the flow rate can be increased to prevent accumulation from clogging the pipe and reduce unnecessary energy consumption when increasing the flow rate.

[0039] Hereinafter, the best embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, in order to clarify the gist of the present invention, the description of the known functions or configurations will be omitted when describing the present invention.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the flow velocity increasing device of the present invention comprises: a tube body 10 , a vortex generating part 20 , a first flow velocity increasing part 30 and a second flow velocity increasing part 40 .

[0041] That is, the flow velocity increasing device of the present invention generates a vortex inside the water pipe 1 while guiding the rapid flow of the fluid, thereby increasing the flow velocity of the fluid as a whole, by means of a pipe body 10, a vortex generating part 20, a first flow velocity increasing part 30 and a second flow velocity increasing part 40 arranged in the water pipe 1.

[0042] In addition, the flow rate increasing device can be arranged on all pipes for conveying other fluids, including the water pipe 1, to increase the flow rate.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figures 4a to 4c As shown in FIG. 1 , the pipe body 10 is formed into a certain length and is arranged on the water supply and drainage pipe 1. Figure 4a As shown, it can be arranged inside the water pipe 1, or as Figure 4b As shown, it can be set at the front end of the upper and lower water pipes, or as shown in Figure 4c As shown, it can be connected between the upper and lower water pipes 1. At this time, the pipe body 10 is combined with the upper water pipe by hot-melt connection, and is combined with the lower water pipe by adhesion.

[0044] In order to be applicable to the known water pipes 1, the pipe body 10 can be made of any material selected from PVC pipes, stainless steel pipes, steel pipes, polyethylene pipes, concrete pipes, and cast iron pipes.

[0045] Furthermore, when the pipe body 10 is disposed inside the water pipe 1, its front and rear ends form a guide inclined surface 12 inclined along the inner direction. Thus, when the fluid passes through the inside of the pipe body 10, the flow impedance can be reduced to a minimum through the guide inclined surface 12. That is, when the fluid flows into the pipe body 10 or passes through the pipe body, the guide inclined surface 12 can smoothly guide the flow of the fluid by means of the inclined structure, thereby reducing the flow impedance of the fluid flowing along the water pipe 1 to a minimum.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vortex generating part 20 causes the fluid passing through the pipe body 10 to generate a vortex. To this end, from a position at a certain interval from the front end of the pipe body 10, along the length direction, at least one or more vortex generating parts 20 are formed in a spiral structure. That is, in order to form a unidirectional vortex in the fluid passing through the pipe body 10, the vortex generating part 20 is formed in a spiral structure along the length direction of the pipe body 10, thereby causing the fluid to generate a vortex in the entire section of the pipe body 10, thereby increasing the flow rate of the fluid flowing in from the water pipe 1.

[0047] The reason why the vortex generating part 20 is spaced a certain distance from the front end of the pipe body 10 is to ensure that there is sufficient space so that after the fluid is introduced into the water pipe 1, the vortex generating part 20 can form a strong vortex.

[0048] Furthermore, when the pipe body 10 is observed from the front, the vortex generating parts 20 are arranged correspondingly at the top, bottom, left, and right of the pipe body. Thus, the vortex generating parts 20 can make the vortex of the fluid passing through the pipe body 10 the strongest. That is, the vortex generating parts 20 are arranged correspondingly at the top, bottom, left, and right directions inside the pipe body 10, so that the fluid flowing from the water pipe 1 into the pipe body 10 generates a unidirectional vortex while smoothly guiding the flow of the vortex, so that the flow of the vortex reaches the strongest.

[0049] Among them, although the vortex generating parts 20 are arranged correspondingly in the up, down, left and right directions of the tube body 10, in another embodiment of the present invention, in order to guide the flow of fluid accompanied by strong vortices inside the tube body 10, at least one or more vortex generating parts 20 can be arranged around the inner periphery of the tube body 10.

[0050] In order to smoothly generate vortex in the fluid passing through the tube body 10, a vortex generating portion 20 is formed along the length direction from a position at a certain distance from the front end of the tube body 10. That is, a vortex generating portion 20 having a width (W) of 3 mm to 500 mm and a height (H) of 1 mm to 500 mm and a spiral structure can be formed at a position about 100 mm from the front end of the tube body 10.

[0051] The vortex generating portion 20 is integrally formed on the pipe body 10 . However, in another embodiment of the present invention, the vortex generating portion 20 may be integrally formed on the water pipe 1 replacing the pipe body 10 .

[0052] like Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown, the first flow velocity increasing portion 30 can guide the fluid to form a flow velocity faster than the average flow velocity inside the tube body 10. To this end, the first flow velocity increasing portion 30 penetrates the vortex generating portion 20 along the length direction. At this time, the first flow velocity increasing portion 30 can be formed as at least one through hole in the vortex generating portion 20.

[0053] The first flow velocity increasing part 30 guides the fluid to pass through by means of the through hole structure, thereby forming a flow velocity faster than the average flow velocity inside the tube body 10. That is, as the vortex generating part 20 forms a through hole, the first flow velocity increasing part 30 can form inside the tube body 10: a flow velocity faster than the fluid flowing based on the vortex formation, thereby increasing the flow velocity of the fluid.

[0054] Furthermore, the first flow velocity increasing portion 30 can be segmented into a first section and a second section along the length direction of the vortex generating portion, and can be formed in a form in which the diameter of the first section is uniform and the diameter of the second section gradually increases from the first section.

[0055] Thus, the first flow velocity increasing part 30 can guide the flow velocity of the fluid to be faster through the first section, and through the second section, the fluid passing through the first section can quickly pass toward the outside of the tube body 10. That is, the first flow velocity increasing part 30 can help increase the flow velocity by means of the fluid guiding structure composed of the first section and the second section.

[0056] like Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown, the second flow velocity increasing portion 40 guides the fluid into the groove, thereby forming a flow velocity faster than the average flow velocity inside the tube body 10. To this end, the second flow velocity increasing portion 40 is formed as a groove, which is arranged along the length direction at the upper part and both sides of the periphery of the vortex generating portion 20 to provide a flow path for the fluid.

[0057] At this time, if Figure 3a As shown in FIG. , the groove is formed into a hemispherical structure to facilitate the fluid guidance. Figure 3bAs shown, the second flow velocity increasing portion can be formed into an angular structure so as to guide the fluid while giving a certain straightness in the groove. That is, the groove of the angular structure makes the fluid introduced with the groove go straight along the length direction of the vortex generating portion 20 by means of the vertical surfaces 22 formed on the two sides corresponding to each other.

[0058] The second flow velocity increasing portion 40 guides the flow of the fluid in the upper and both side regions of the vortex generating portion 20 by means of the groove structure, thereby forming a flow velocity faster than the average flow velocity inside the tube body 10. That is, the second flow velocity increasing portion 40 is formed in the shape of a groove in the upper and both side regions of the vortex generating portion 20, thereby forming a flow inside the tube body 10 with a flow velocity faster than the fluid flowing based on the vortex formation, thereby increasing the flow velocity of the fluid.

[0059] Further, similar to the first flow velocity increasing portion 30, the second flow velocity increasing portion 40 can be segmented into a first section and a second section along the length direction of the vortex generating portion 20, and can be formed into a form in which the width of the first section is uniform and the width of the second section gradually widens from the first section.

[0060] Thus, the second flow velocity increasing portion 40 can guide the flow velocity of the fluid to be faster through the first section, and through the second section, the fluid passing through the first section can quickly pass toward the outside of the tube body 10. That is, the second flow velocity increasing portion 40 can help increase the flow velocity by means of the fluid guide structure composed of the first section and the second section.

[0061] In addition, when describing the flow velocity increasing device of the present invention, although not shown in the accompanying drawings, the pipe body 10 can be formed into a certain length, and along the internal length direction of the pipe body 10, the vortex generating part 20 having the first flow velocity increasing part 30 and the second flow velocity increasing part 40 can be formed into a spiral structure, and then part of the vortex generating part 20 can be removed from the front end area and the rear end area of ​​the pipe body 10, and the pipe body 10 can be used as a water supply and drainage pipe.

[0062] Below, reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The function of the flow rate increasing device in the present invention is described.

[0063] First, the fluid composed of tap water or sewage maintains a certain flow inside the water pipe 1 and flows into the pipe body 10 .

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, when the fluid keeps flowing and flows into the interior of the tube body 10, the vortex generating part 20 generates a strong vortex in the fluid by means of the spiral structure. That is, the vortex generating part 20 generates a strong vortex in the entire section inside the tube body 10 by means of the spiral structure to guide the flow of the fluid, thereby the fluid quickly passes through the tube body 10 through the flow brought by the strong vortex.

[0065] As a result, the vortex generating unit 20 causes the fluid flowing into the pipe body 10 through the water pipe 1 to flow with strong vortexes and pass through the pipe body 10 . When the fluid passes through the pipe body 10 , the flow velocity is significantly increased compared to the initial flow velocity along the water pipe 1 .

[0066] like Figure 6 As shown, when the fluid passes through the inside of the tube body 10, if the vortex generating part 20 keeps the flow accompanied by strong vortex, the first flow velocity increasing part 30 will guide the fluid to pass through, thereby forming a flow velocity faster than the average flow velocity inside the tube body 10. That is, the first flow velocity increasing part 30 can form a flow faster than the fluid flowing with strong vortex formation inside the tube body 10 by means of the through hole structure, thereby increasing the flow velocity of the fluid.

[0067] At the same time, the second flow velocity increasing portion 40 guides the fluid to pass through the grooves formed on the upper part and both sides of the vortex generating portion 20, thereby forming a flow velocity faster than the average flow velocity inside the tube body 10. That is, the second flow velocity increasing portion 40 guides the flow of the fluid to the grooves formed on the upper part and both sides of the vortex generating portion 20, so that a flow with a faster flow velocity than the fluid flowing with strong vortex formation can be formed inside the tube body 10, thereby increasing the flow velocity of the fluid.

[0068] In addition, the flow rate increasing device of the present invention is not limited by the flow rate increasing structure of tap water or sewage, and can be applied to various pipes for increasing the gas flow rate.

[0069] For example, it is applicable to: the intake line that supplies oxygen to the engine when a car or motorcycle accelerates suddenly, or the exhaust line muffler that quickly discharges the exhaust gas, or the pipe body connected to the thruster to increase the delivery air pressure for the rocket thruster. It can also enhance the efficiency of intake and exhaust without manually starting the control device.

[0070] As described above, the flow velocity increasing device of the present invention can guide the fluid flowing along the water pipe 1 by means of the organic combination structure of the vortex generating part 20, the first flow velocity increasing part 30 and the second flow velocity increasing part 40, and form a rapid flow accompanied by strong vortex inside the pipe body 10 and pass through it, thereby significantly increasing the flow velocity of tap water or sewage.

[0071] Furthermore, the flow rate increasing device of the present invention can increase the flow rate of tap water or sewage, so that when conveying tap water, there is no need to artificially form high hydraulic pressure, and the flow rate can be increased to smoothly convey tap water to each household. When discharging sewage, the flow rate can be increased to prevent accumulation from clogging the pipe and reduce unnecessary energy consumption when increasing the flow rate.

[0072] Although the above content describes and illustrates specific embodiments of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. Obviously, a person skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the concept and scope of the present invention. Therefore, its modified examples or variations cannot be understood individually from the technical concept or perspective of the present invention, and the modified embodiments should fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
