Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to waterproofing and drainage engineering, and in particular to a waterproofing and drainage system that utilizes automatic siphon waterproofing fittings to achieve waterproofing or drainage, and a simple fluid lifting device to achieve fluid lifting. Background Technology

[0002] For a long time, the flat roof structure of ordinary houses has relied on strict prevention of rainwater leakage. This waterproofing structure has high requirements for construction site, process and weather, and is not resistant to aging and thermal expansion and contraction, resulting in a short waterproofing lifespan. Therefore, it requires repeated maintenance, which is wasteful of resources and does not achieve the ideal waterproofing effect. Moreover, the waste is difficult to recycle and easily causes serious environmental pollution. Traditional siphon drainage devices require the water to exceed the highest point of the siphon pipe to generate a siphon effect. However, the siphon drainage technology using siphon fibers can only make the water slowly bypass obstacles of height. The siphon speed is limited and the efficiency is too slow, making it difficult to deal with waterproofing projects or engineering projects with large leakage or flow, or with unclear or unstable leakage or flow. Especially in some prefabricated or surface performance waterproofing technologies or engineering projects where the leakage at some waterproofing joints is uncertain, once the leakage flow is collected, it cannot be discharged through a direct downward channel. It is necessary to bypass the leakage flow through obstacles of height before it can be discharged downward. At this time, the existing adsorption siphon drainage technology is difficult to meet the drainage requirements and is prone to waterproofing failure. Furthermore, in pools, tanks, or other facilities or devices with large fluid discharge volumes and intermittent flow inputs, where rapid discharge of accumulated liquid via non-powered input is required, ordinary siphon fibers generally cannot meet the requirements for rapid discharge. Additionally, existing liquid extraction devices, especially small-scale extraction devices, are either too complex or overly simplistic in structure, making it inconvenient to flexibly and repeatedly extract fluid or maintain cleanliness and hygiene. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the technical problems of existing overall waterproofing technologies, such as short waterproofing lifespan and difficult construction, the first objective of this invention is to provide a waterproofing system that utilizes siphon-type waterproofing fittings to achieve a waterproofing effect. The technical solution provided by this invention is as follows:

[0004] An automatic or simple fluid lifting or siphoning device or technology is provided, which involves installing a fluid lifting or siphoning device in a liquid accumulation area, storage device, or at the drain outlet or drainage strip of a seepage-proof material interface (in a concealed, fixed, or inconveniently manually adjusted pipe position, where manual siphoning is inconvenient, or where manual removal of fluid is undesirable). An activation device is provided on the fluid lifting device and / or siphoning device to initiate the siphoning action, thereby rapidly or intermittently lifting or siphoning out leaked or accumulated fluid, completing the fluid lifting or drainage task. This eliminates the need to adjust the pipe position to generate a siphon (e.g., immersing the pipe in the liquid and then pulling it out to generate a siphon) or to use continuous power to lift and discharge the fluid. The activation device includes at least one of a drainage pipe or activation pipe, an (intermediate) storage device, a capillary siphon device, a sealed activation device, a fluid flow or direction control device, or a mechanical instantaneous activation device.

[0005] The siphon discharge includes at least one of the following methods: adsorbing and siphoning the leaking water or stagnant liquid; adsorbing and siphoning the leaking water or stagnant liquid to a high place and then discharging it; adsorbing and siphoning the leaking water or stagnant liquid to a high place, bypassing obstacles, and then introducing it to a lower position for discharge; or evaporating and discharging the adsorbed or siphoned water by a hydrophilic material or surface with capillary siphon function that has a large area in contact with air at the end of the capillary siphon device.

[0006] The outlet of the siphon device is lower than the inlet of the siphon device or lower than the liquid level in the accumulation area or storage device. The front end is the end near the inlet of the siphon device, and the rear end is the end where the fluid exits the siphon device. The front end of the liquid column is the end where the liquid column flows forward, i.e., near the outlet of the siphon device, and the rear end of the liquid column is the end near the inlet of the siphon device.

[0007] When the starting device is a single capillary siphon, the inlet end of the drain pipe or starting pipe should not be lower than the highest point of the multi-bend (arc-shaped) bend or the highest point of the downstream siphon; the highest point of the downstream siphon should be lower than the liquid level in the accumulation zone or the liquid level in the storage device. When the starting device includes a device other than a capillary siphon, the restrictions on the height of the drain pipe or starting pipe and the highest point of the downstream siphon can be removed by using appropriate valves (such as check valves).

[0008] The fluid lifting device directly extracts fluid from the accumulation area or storage device and discharges it directly or into a designated container, completing the anti-gravity lifting task. It includes a combination of a starting chamber and a telescopic chamber with a unidirectional fluid control.

[0009] Preferably, the starting device is a drain pipe or starting pipe connected to an automatic or simple fluid lifting or siphon device. One end of the drain pipe or starting pipe, i.e., the drain outlet, is connected to the siphon drainage device (sealed); the other end, i.e., the inlet, is directly located in the liquid accumulation area or connected to the energy storage fluid source. The drain outlet, i.e., the drain end, is located between the two ends of the siphon drainage device (i.e., between the inlet and the drain outlet, i.e., in the middle of the siphon device), or at the highest point of the siphon device, or after the inlet (inlet) one-way valve, or before the highest position of the subsequent siphon device, or at the inlet end or inlet of the expansion section or multi-bend (arc) bend pipe. The energy storage fluid source includes at least one of tap water, pressurized pipelines, sewer pipes, and liquid storage devices with gravitational potential energy (such as starting a liquid storage device).

[0010] The energy storage fluid source can be directly connected to the drainage pipe or starting pipe via a fluid flow or direction control device (such as a flow regulating valve, or a small or clogged pipe), making the starting frequency of the siphon device adjustable. Alternatively, a starting valve can be installed between the energy storage fluid source and the siphon device. When the siphon device needs to be activated, the starting valve can be manually, electronically, or mechanically opened for a certain period of time and then closed; or the starting valve can be set as a timed valve that opens and closes at certain intervals, allowing the siphon device to start intermittently and automatically. Alternatively, the starting pipe can be connected to the energy storage fluid source (such as an elevated sewer or a submersible bend) below the surface of the remaining fluid, so that the siphon device is activated every time the energy storage fluid source drains.

[0011] Preferably, the starting device is an (intermediate) liquid storage device connected to an automatic or simple fluid lifting or siphon device. The (intermediate) liquid storage device is a device or structure used for long-term or temporary fluid storage, or to prevent complete or rapid discharge or evaporation of the fluid; it includes at least one of an expansion section, a multi-fold (arc or circular) bend, and a starting liquid storage device. The (intermediate) liquid storage device is located in the middle of the siphon drainage device or connected to the preceding and following siphon drainage devices (sealed in series or parallel). The expansion section is sealed to the preceding and following siphon devices. The highest point of the downward-facing U-shaped bend of the following siphon device must be above the bottom of the expansion section, and the inlet extends downward to the bottom of the expansion section. The multi-fold (arc or circular) bend involves bending the middle section of the siphon device, i.e., the central pipe, up and down more than once.

[0012] The starting liquid storage device is connected to the middle of the siphon device and includes at least one of an open (non-sealed) liquid storage device and a (flexible) sealed liquid storage device with a valve.

[0013] The bottom or side wall of the start-up liquid storage device is connected to the inlet end of the drain pipe or start-up pipe. When the fluid in the start-up liquid storage device exceeds the highest point of the drain pipe or start-up pipe or a certain height, or when the siphon device can be activated, the drain pipe or start-up pipe or start-up liquid storage device can be closed or sealed to activate the siphon device.

[0014] Preferably, the starting device is a capillary siphon device installed in an automatic or simple fluid lifting or siphon device. The capillary siphon device is made of a material or device with capillary siphon function, capable of adsorbing and / or siphoning out accumulated or leaking fluid. The hydrophilic material or device with capillary siphon function has numerous hydrophilic pores, meshes, or continuous channels.

[0015] The capillary siphon device is installed in the starting pipe, in front of the siphon device (i.e., in the inlet end), or in the pipe in front of the siphon device (such as in the expansion section or the pipe before the multi-bend (arc) bend, or before the highest position of the subsequent siphon device). The front end can fully contact the accumulated liquid or is not higher than the liquid surface in the accumulated liquid area or the liquid storage device, and the rear end hangs down and is lower than the liquid surface in the accumulated liquid area or hangs down after going up around the side wall of the liquid storage device and is lower than the liquid surface in the liquid storage device.

[0016] The capillary siphon device is configured in at least one of the following ways:

[0017] The capillary siphon device can be installed in the starting pipe that connects to the pipe before the highest position of the subsequent siphon device.

[0018] The capillary siphon device is configured in two ways: a non-full tube siphon flow element and a full tube siphon flow element with gaps.

[0019] The non-full-pipe siphon flow element refers to a capillary siphon device that is loosely installed inside the siphon device with a large gap or is only partially installed in the lateral space of the siphon device, so that the siphoned fluid cannot flow downward in a full or nearly full-pipe state.

[0020] The gapped full-pipe siphon is a device that allows fluid to pass through and ensures that the fluid flows downwards in a full or near-full state in the entire or partial pipe after the highest point of the siphon device, preventing the formation of a continuous or large air column in the pipe. It includes at least one of the following: tightly packed (small gaps but with channels) hydrophilic or wetting guides in the siphon device (lateral space); more tightly packed hydrophilic or wetting guides near the drain end than near the inlet end; a smaller or flattened pipe diameter at the drain end of the siphon device (or bend) than the pipe diameter at the inlet end; and a hollow accelerating tube at the end of the siphon device (or bend) that allows the fluid to be in a full-pipe state.

[0021] The provision of a hollow accelerating tube at the end of the siphon device (or bend) to allow the fluid to be in a full-pipe state includes at least one of the following: setting a hollow accelerating tube at the end of the siphon device (or bend); making the siphon device (or bend) after the flow guide (such as a flow guide (such as a siphon fiber, etc.)) or below the liquid surface or bottom of the liquid storage device hollow; and setting a hydrophobic element (such as a hydrophobic strip or fiber) in the hollow (siphon or accelerating) tube after the flow guide (such as a flow guide (such as a siphon fiber, etc.)).

[0022] Preferably, the starting device is a mechanical instantaneous starting device connected to an automatic or simple fluid lifting or siphon device. The mechanical instantaneous starting device is a device that instantaneously starts the siphon device through mechanical or machine action, including at least one of the following: (instantaneous (siphon) start) pumping device, (expansion chamber with variable total volume or) starting chamber (group), and combination of a sealable or near-sealed volume or cavity with a high-pressure fluid device.

[0023] The instantaneous (siphon) start-up pumping device is an intermittent start-up device. After the instantaneous pumping device starts, it stops pumping after a period of time sufficient for the siphon device to generate a siphon effect. The subsequent drainage task is continued by the siphon effect. That is, the instantaneous pumping device only completes the initial start-up of the siphon device to generate a siphon effect and does not continuously provide power to the siphon device.

[0024] The (overall variable volume expansion chamber or) starting chamber (group) is an expansion chamber (bottom) with a variable volume overall or partially, and whose openings or interfaces, except for the outlet (i.e., the siphon inlet), can be sealed or nearly sealed (i.e., the flow rate and direction are controllable). It is connected to the liquid storage device (or water accumulation area) and the siphon device via a (only-in, no-out) check valve. The volume of the expansion chamber is changed by a manually or automatically driven compression device, which then forces the fluid in the expansion chamber into the siphon device, creating a siphon effect. The starting chamber includes at least one of the following: expansion chamber, telescopic chamber, (rigid) fixed chamber, (maximum volume limited) flexible chamber, (elastic) self-expanding compression chamber, and fluid pressurization (or pressure regulation) device.

[0025] The expansion chamber may be at least one of the following: a telescopic cylinder, a piston device, a self-expanding elastic chamber, a self-expanding flexible chamber under positive pressure, a liquid storage device with a one-way valve or flow control valve at the inlet (only in, no out) and an upward opening that can be sealed, or a liquid storage device with controllable flow rate and direction.

[0026] The volume of the telescopic cavity can decrease or collapse when compressed, and can expand under the action of fluid pressure after release.

[0027] The compression device may be at least one or a combination of two or more of the following: a screw and nut combination, a crankshaft and connecting rod combination, a manual or manual operation, an elastic (stretching or compressing) device, a traction device, a clamping mechanism, a telescopic device (such as a telescopic rod), or a gravity (squeezing or compressing) device.

[0028] The control or drive device is at least one of manual, motor-driven, lever or shaft or pulley and buoyancy component combination.

[0029] The combination of the sealable or near-sealed cavity with the high-pressure fluid device involves connecting the cavity, except for the outlet (i.e., the siphon inlet), which has sealable or near-sealed openings or interfaces (i.e., controllable flow rate and direction), to the high-pressure fluid device. The high-pressure fluid then discharges the fluid in the cavity through the siphon pipe to generate a siphon effect.

[0030] Preferably, the starting device is a sealed starting device connected to an automatic or simple fluid lifting or siphoning device, and the sealed starting device is an intermittent starting device that can be controlled manually, electronically, or mechanically. It includes at least one of a negative pressure starting device and a positive pressure starting device.

[0031] The negative pressure starting device uses negative pressure to draw accumulated liquid into the siphon device to complete the siphon starting task. This includes at least one of the following methods: the starting pipe, starting liquid storage device, or expansion section is configured as a negative pressure space that can be sealed permanently or temporarily. When the siphon device is started, the negative pressure space is opened, and fluid is automatically injected into the siphon device. When the fluid in the negative pressure space is drained, the starting switch of the starting pipe or starting liquid storage device is closed, and the siphon action is initiated; or a pressure-reducing or expansion sealing device is installed before the outlet valve of the siphon device or after the highest position of the siphon device and at a position lower than the liquid level at the inlet to reduce the pressure in the starting device. Force, causing the siphon device to draw in fluid and making the fluid at the outlet end lower than the liquid level at the inlet end to produce a siphon effect; or, when extended, generating negative pressure to draw out accumulated water to produce a siphon effect, and after contraction, preparing for the next extension or contraction, i.e., negative pressure start-up, a combination of a retractable expansion part and a telescopic start-up device; or, a flexible sealed liquid storage device (with a valve) connected to the siphon device; (or, when or before injecting fluid into the drainage pipe, start-up pipe, or start-up liquid storage device, sealing the drainage pipe, start-up pipe, or start-up liquid storage device into a closed space to act as a negative pressure start-up valve).

[0032] The negative pressure starting device is connected to the siphon device via a connecting pipe, or it can be extended upwards to above the liquid storage device.

[0033] The positive pressure starting device is configured as a positive pressure or energy storage space that can be sealed for a long time or temporarily (fluid and gas). When the siphon device is started, the starting valve is opened, and the fluid is automatically injected into the siphon device. After the fluid in the positive pressure sealed space is discharged (before or immediately after discharge), a negative pressure is generated, which starts the siphon effect of the siphon device. Alternatively, a portion of fluid and gas with a volume not greater than the volume of the sealed space are injected into the sealed space and expanded to a negative pressure to generate positive pressure. After the starting valve is opened, the fluid is automatically injected into the siphon device, and the gas is basically or mainly retained in the sealed space. After the fluid is discharged (before or immediately after discharge), a negative pressure is generated, which starts the siphon effect of the siphon device.

[0034] Preferably, the starting device is or is equipped with a fluid flow or direction control device that is connected to an automatic or simple fluid lifting or siphon device. The fluid flow or direction control device includes at least one of the following installed on the siphon device and auxiliary devices (such as inlet and / or outlet and / or drain pipe or starting pipe, etc.): valve, flow control device, flow direction control device, venting device, float valve or level valve, flow limiting valve that opens when the flow rate is low and closes when the flow rate is high, gravity valve, and discharge port or vent with a flexible pipe in the (expansion) cavity.

[0035] The fluid flow or direction control device (especially valves and flow control devices) can cut off, block or control the fluid flow in the siphon device; including at least one of various valves or fluid flow or direction control devices such as electronically controlled electronic fluid flow or direction control devices, relay-controlled fluid flow or direction control devices, electronically driven fluid flow or direction control devices, mechanically or manually driven fluid flow or direction control devices, and gravity fluid flow or direction control devices.

[0036] The upper side of the gravity valve is rotatably connected to the downward-sloping pipe opening, and the lower side of the gravity valve is rotatably or tractionally connected to the closing device (including at least one of a float valve, a flexible closing valve, or a closing pipe) and tractionally connected to the opening closing valve (including at least one of a float valve, a flexible closing valve, or a closing pipe) via a lateral outward traction device to form a combined float valve.

[0037] A gravity valve is a combined float valve that is rotatably connected to a vertical or inclined upward pipe opening or can be matched to float up and down, and is connected to an opening device (including at least one of a float valve, a flexible closing valve, or a closing pipe) via a traction device.

[0038] The flow control device is used to adjust or control the fluid velocity or flow rate in the siphon device and its auxiliary devices. It includes at least one of a flow-fixing valve or device, a flow-adjusting valve or device, and a flexible pipe sealing clamp or device.

[0039] The flow-fixed valve or device (general) is a valve, device, or structure that allows a fixed flow rate of fluid to pass through; including at least one of the following: small holes in the pipe wall, small pinholes or vent holes, small exhaust pipes, valves with fixed opening, and blocking devices. It is installed on the siphon device pipeline outside the liquid storage area (i.e., above or after the highest position of the downstream siphon device after the liquid level).

[0040] The flow regulating valve or device is installed between the energy storage fluid source and the siphon device to adjust the flow rate or volume of fluid entering the starting device or siphon device, so that the siphon device starts intermittently and regularly; or to adjust the flow rate of the starting device according to the size of the work task, thereby changing the starting frequency of the siphon device. It includes at least one of the following: adjustable valve, small or blocked pipe diameter.

[0041] The flow regulating valve can be a combination of a valve body with a small diameter in the pipe cross section and a nut, and a valve body with a screw hole and a cone and a small through hole in the pipe cross section. A sealing gasket is set between the valve body cross sections to seal the interface of the tightly connected combined valve body. The front end of the cone can enter the pipe diameter, but the root end cannot enter the pipe diameter. The flow rate of the combined valve body can be adjusted by adjusting the tightness between the valve bodies.

[0042] The flow direction control device is used to control the flow direction of fluid, ensuring that the fluid can only flow in one direction and preventing reverse flow. It includes at least one of a unidirectional fluid device and a flexible closure device.

[0043] The flexible closure device uses a closable flexible pipe as a closure valve to control the flow direction or flow rate of fluid. It includes at least one of the following: a flexible closure pipe or valve that can close automatically under negative pressure; a flexible closure pipe (or flexible closure valve) that can open under positive pressure; a flexible closure valve whose inner wall can automatically conform; a combination of a flexible pipe and an elastic device that expands the two sides of the flexible pipe outwards from its conforming sidewalls; a combination of hardware with a width not less than the width of the flexible closure valve after its inner wall naturally conforms, and fixing devices at both ends or (spaced apart) to fix the two sides of the elastic flexible closure valve; a combination of a flexible pipe and an elastic device that clamps the two side walls of the flexible pipe together; and a flexible pipe that can close automatically under negative pressure and bends vertically or horizontally.

[0044] The one-way fluid device includes at least one of the following: a one-way valve, a combination of a closed ball or block and a pipe opening for sealing and fitting, a device that functions as a one-way valve under negative pressure, a one-way valve or fitting valve that can fit or close under negative pressure to prevent or limit the rapid entry of air, and can open to discharge air under positive or high pressure.

[0045] In a siphon device where the drain pipe or start-up pipe is not equipped with a one-way valve or one-way fluid device, the inlet of the lower siphon device should not be higher than the inlet of the upper siphon device or the lowest liquid level of the storage device, or the outlet of the upper siphon device should not be higher than its inlet or the lowest liquid level of the storage device, so that the siphon device can continuously drain the accumulated liquid or excess liquid in the storage device.

[0046] The exhaust device is a device or structure capable of venting excess gas from the siphon device. It includes at least one of the following: an exhaust valve; a one-way valve or sealing valve that can close or seal under negative pressure to prevent or limit the rapid entry of air, and open to expel air under positive or high pressure; a device that functions as a one-way valve under negative pressure; a one-way exhaust valve or vent valve or waterproof and breathable membrane installed on the siphon device or auxiliary device or in a pipe wall opening; a hydrophilic or wetted drainage component; and a flow control device, especially a flow-fixing valve or device.

[0047] The hydrophilic or wetting drainage element is a continuous hydrophilic material or surface disposed in or on the inner wall of the siphon device.

[0048] The fluid flow or direction control device, especially the exhaust device, controls the flow rate or direction of the fluid during the two drainage intervals of the siphon device, especially the integrated siphon device.

[0049] Excess gas in the pipe (before the siphon device) is discharged, or gas is prevented from rapidly entering the siphon device (from the pipe wall), or the intermittent liquid columns are automatically guided downwards to allow the intermittent gas columns to gather (upwards) and be discharged, so as to prevent the gas in the pipe from affecting the adsorption and drainage performance of the capillary siphon device and the continuity of siphon drainage.

[0050] The fluid flow or direction control device, especially the flow-fixing valve or device, can allow external air to enter the siphon pipe at the rear end of the liquid column after the fluid bypasses the highest point of the downstream siphon device, so as to increase the downward extension speed of the liquid column (front end or lower end) and enable the siphon effect of the siphon device to respond quickly.

[0051] The function of the float valve or level valve is to activate the valve after the liquid level changes (i.e., rises or falls) to a set value (i.e., the depth or height of the fluid), thereby opening or closing the fluid passage. Alternatively, a drain outlet (i.e., the inlet of the siphon device) located at the bottom of the (front or rear) liquid storage device can be used to drain the liquid normally when the accumulation depth is large, and to close and prevent drainage when the accumulation is complete or the depth is small.

[0052] The fluid flow rate or flow direction control device is installed in the diversion pipe or starting pipe, or at the connection between the front and rear siphon devices, or at the connection between the siphon device and the diversion pipe or starting pipe, or at the connection between the siphon device and the bottom of the front and rear liquid storage devices, to act as a siphon starting device, or to prevent or restrict air from rapidly entering the siphon device through the diversion pipe or starting pipe or siphon device.

[0053] The fluid flow rate or direction control device facilitates closing the drainage pipe or starting pipe after fluid is injected into it or under negative pressure, or activating the siphon effect by making the inner wall of the drainage pipe or starting pipe adhere. It also facilitates filling the siphon device with fluid.

[0054] Preferably, a control device or combination is provided to improve the performance of the siphon device. The control device includes at least one of the following: a liquid level sensor and controller combination is provided to control the opening or closing of the starting valve of the diversion pipe or starting pipe or the starting liquid storage device in a timely manner, wherein the liquid level sensor and controller combination is provided at least in the final liquid storage device; a control mechanism or device is provided to release the telescopic or compression device only when the water level reaches a set height; a float valve or liquid level sensor is provided to close the high-pressure fluid device or the channel between the high-pressure fluid device and the expansion chamber in a timely manner to prevent the liquid level in the expansion chamber from dropping to the outlet (i.e., the siphon inlet).

[0055] Preferably, an intelligent control device or system is provided to improve the performance and / or intelligence of the siphon device, wherein the intelligent control device or system includes at least one of an alarm device and an automatic control system.

[0056] The alarm device includes at least one of the following: an alarm device that activates after a timeout (or long-term inactivity) period, an alarm device that exceeds limits. The alarm device is a combination of a sensor and / or a switch and an alarm (or / and an electronic signal processor, i.e., a microelectronic processor or a single-chip microcomputer), which provides an alarm by continuously or intermittently emitting sound and / or emitting light. The sensor can be a level sensor or a sensing device. After the fluid in the drainage pipe, activation pipe, or activation storage device is drained and the valve is activated, a sensing signal is emitted, causing the alarm to continuously or intermittently emit sound and / or emit light.

[0057] The activation alarm device sounds when the siphon device has been activated and the accumulated liquid and / or activation fluid has been drained, or when the activation fluid has been drained and the valve has been activated, reminding the user to re-inject activation fluid (by filling the drain pipe, activation pipe, or activation storage device), or when the accumulated liquid in the storage device has reached the alarm liquid level, reminding the user to activate the siphon device again. The activation alarm device is installed in the drain pipe, activation pipe, or activation storage device, or at least in the final storage device. The timeout or long-term inactivity alarm device sounds when no siphon action is generated within a set time, indicating that the activation device of the siphon device needs to be inspected for blockages, leaks, or other abnormalities. The over-limit alarm device sounds when the siphon device fails to automatically generate a siphon action and the water in the storage device continues to rise, reaching the level alarm sensor, prompting timely action. The over-limit alarm device is installed at least in the final storage device.

[0058] The automatic control system incorporates an automatic control device or valve (and / or an electronic intelligent processor, i.e., a microelectronic processor or a single-chip microcomputer) within the starting device to achieve intelligent or automated starting of the siphon device. The automatic control system can issue a siphon start command and open the start valve or start device (e.g., start a water pump) after the liquid level or accumulated liquid in the storage device reaches the start level, and then close the start valve or start device after the siphon effect occurs; or, after the start valve of the siphon device is closed, i.e., after the siphon effect occurs, the filling valve is opened to automatically inject an appropriate amount of fluid into the starting device, and then the filling valve is closed. In this case, the starting device (e.g., a drainage pipe, a start pipe, or a start storage device) should preferably be connected to a pressurized or powered fluid source.

[0059] Preferably, a reinforcing device or structure is provided in the siphon device to improve the working stability of the siphon device. The reinforcing device or structure includes at least one of the following: a device or structure to prevent evaporation, a backflow prevention device or structure, a communication effect blocking device or structure, a cross-flow diversion device or structure, a fluid slow-rise device or structure, a siphon device with a non-wetting surface on the inner wall, two or more sets of repeatable safety devices, a quick start device, an elastic transmission device added between the start chamber or telescopic chamber and the buoyancy component, and a combination of a liquid level sensor and a control switch (automatic or siphon drainage device with start device, intermittent start device) between the start chamber or telescopic chamber and the buoyancy component.

[0060] The evaporation prevention device or structure is to install a one-way flow restriction device or one-way valve at the outlet of the siphon device or at a position lower than the liquid level or bottom in the storage device, or to bend the siphon device upwards at least once and the highest point after the bend is not higher than the bottom of the storage device or the liquid level in the storage device, or to set the inner wall of the siphon bend (or drain pipe) as a non-wetting surface to prevent air from entering the siphon device from the outlet or the fluid in the pipe from evaporating.

[0061] The backflow prevention device or structure is a one-way flow limiting device or one-way valve installed at the inlet or rear of the siphon device, or in front of the connection interface between the starting device and the siphon device, to prevent fluid from flowing back.

[0062] The aforementioned communication effect blocking device or structure is to insert the water inlet of the foremost siphon device directly into the foremost liquid storage device from the liquid storage device inlet; or to set the connection part of the front and rear water inlet pipes of the siphon device at the pipe after the highest liquid accumulation surface of the liquid storage device; or to make the bottom connector of the front and rear liquid storage devices into a U-shape with the opening facing downwards and the highest connection point set above the highest liquid accumulation surface of the liquid storage device, so as to prevent the liquid accumulation at the connection point of the front and rear liquid storage devices from generating a communication effect and preventing the downstream liquid storage device from accumulating liquid synchronously.

[0063] The cross-drainage device or structure involves placing the starting device and the inlet of the same siphon drainage device in different storage devices or different accumulation zones; or placing the drain outlet of the starting device in one area, storage device, or accumulation zone simultaneously or separately in different siphon drainage devices; or placing the drain outlet and inlet of the starting device in each area, storage device, or accumulation zone simultaneously or separately cross-placed in different siphon drainage devices; or connecting the inlet of the same siphon drainage device to the front and rear storage devices or communicating with the bottom of the front and rear storage devices; or simultaneously placing the drain outlets of the starting devices in multiple areas, storage devices, or accumulation zones in the same siphon drainage device; or placing multiple The starting device of the suction and drainage device is set in the same leakage area, storage device, or accumulation area where the adsorption siphon effect is easily generated; or a suction and drainage device is equipped with multiple starting devices and placed in multiple corresponding different leakage areas, storage devices, or accumulation areas, and multiple starting devices are set in one area, storage device, or accumulation area and connected to different suction and drainage devices to achieve cross-drainage; or the water flow from the drainage system or accumulation area at a higher position is directly introduced into the starting device through a pipe with a small diameter; or the pipes or starting devices (such as expansion parts or multi-bend pipes) after the highest position of two or more siphon drainage devices are connected to each other to improve the generation or performance of the siphon effect of each siphon drainage device. Alternatively, water from the drainage system or sludge accumulation area can be directly introduced into the diversion pipe or start-up pipe through a (hydrophilic) narrow pipe or a pipe with a blocked but not sealed opening; or the drain outlet of the siphon device can be directly connected to other siphon devices or a branch pipe can be installed; or the outlet of the front siphon device can be connected to the highest point of the rear siphon device and the lowest point of the multi-bend (arc) bend pipe; thereby increasing the start-up frequency of the siphon device.

[0064] The fluid slow-rise device or structure is designed to reduce the upward velocity of the fluid in the liquid storage device. This includes at least one of the following: enlarging the upper area of ​​the liquid storage device; connecting two or more liquid storage devices in series (smaller in the front, larger in the rear); directly placing the front liquid storage device within the rear liquid storage device; and providing an outlet hole above the front liquid storage device that connects to the rear liquid storage device (this allows for deeper liquid accumulation in the front liquid storage device, accelerating the siphon effect of the drainage components (such as siphon fibers), and also allows sufficient time for the siphon devices to generate their siphon effect within the liquid storage device group; and installing siphon devices and / or drainage components (such as siphon fibers) in each liquid storage device so that the accumulated liquid in each device can be siphoned out).

[0065] The aforementioned two or more sets of redundant safety features include at least one of the following configurations: two or more sets of siphon devices, two or more sets of electronic devices, etc. The two or more sets of siphon devices involve installing two or more siphon devices in the liquid storage device, or / and combinations of liquid level sensors and controllers at different heights, or / and drainage pipes or start-up pipes, or starting the liquid storage device. When one siphon device is activated, or the low-level liquid level sensor and controller combination activates the siphon device, and the liquid level in the storage device continues to rise and reaches the set height of the higher liquid level sensor and controller combination, the subsequent sequence or two or more siphon devices are activated to create a siphon effect, accelerating the discharge of fluid from the storage device. The two or more sets of electronic devices include two sets of alarm sensors and / or (instantaneous) pumping devices in the system. Even if one system fails, the system can still start normally and trigger an alarm, improving system reliability.

[0066] The system is configured with a battery level alarm to alert the user when the battery is low, prompting them to replace the battery.

[0067] The automatic or siphon drainage device with a start-up device can be manually or electronically controlled to periodically, intermittently, or selectively (i.e., when needed) inject fluid into the start-up device to activate the siphon effect and then close it to drain the accumulated liquid; or the accumulated liquid condition can be detected by a human or electronic intelligent sensor, and when the accumulated liquid is deep, fluid can be manually or electronically injected into the start-up device to activate the siphon device and then close it to drain the accumulated liquid.

[0068] The intermittent start refers to setting the starting device (such as a starting valve or a starting pump) to open for a certain period of time and then close it; or using a timed drive device to open or close the starting valve at appropriate times; or using a timed drive device to replenish the energy or power lost during operation; or using the starting device to open intermittently for a certain period of time and then close it; or directly connecting the starting pipe to the elevated washbasin so that the siphon device is activated every time water is drained; or setting a quantitative liquid sampling device so that a certain amount of fluid is obtained each time water is drained from the sewer (i.e., the elevated washbasin) to activate the siphon bend; or connecting the starting pipe to the (suspended) submersible bend installed in the sewer (i.e., under the elevated basin), and using the water accumulated in the submersible bend to activate the siphon device.

[0069] The one-way valve can be directly installed in or on the inlet of the three-way pipe (i.e., tee) connecting the siphon device and the starting device, that is, the one-way valve and the three-way pipe (i.e. tee) can be processed into a whole; or the tee interface connected to the starting device can be bent backward into a bend to reduce the size or space occupied by the tee interface after connection.

[0070] The enlarged portion is positioned directly above the opening of the liquid storage device for collecting leaked water; or the bottom of the enlarged portion is configured to match the opening of the liquid storage device so that the enlarged portion can be stably positioned at the opening of the liquid storage device; or a stable support or connection interface is provided between the enlarged portion and the opening of the liquid storage device.

[0071] The inlet (closed) valve of the liquid storage device (including at least one of a float valve, flexible closed valve, or closed pipe) is connected to a liquid storage device that can be raised and lowered and can be emptied (such as the expansion part of a siphon device, or a multi-fold (arc) bend pipe that bends up and down or loops, or a suspended liquid storage device connected in series or parallel in the drain outlet or pipe of a siphon device) via a traction device bypassing the suspension device. During the period when the liquid storage device is filled with water, the inlet (closed) valve is suspended to prevent its start-up, i.e., it is opened. After the liquid storage device is emptied or the siphon action stops, the suspended inlet (closed) valve is released and opened to start the valve to let in water. A siphon pipe leading out from the middle and upper part, and / or a drain outlet that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, and / or a pipe are provided to drain the accumulated liquid from the suspended liquid storage device.

[0072] A non-adhesive connecting pipe or a device or material preventing the inner wall from adhering at the bend of the siphon device is installed at the bend. For rigid material siphon tubes, a flexible joint or interface with a hydrophilic inner surface is used to connect the bend. A transparent liquid storage device is used to observe the liquid level and determine whether the siphon device is in a pre-start state or has already been started.

[0073] Two connection interfaces with different heights (i.e., positions on the expansion section) are provided on the expansion section (the bottom of the expansion section and the expansion section above the highest position of the secondary siphon device). One interface is connected to the siphon device in front of the expansion section, and the other interface can be closed.

[0074] The entire waterproof area can be covered by a single liquid storage device; or two or more separate liquid storage devices can be installed below the waterproof area, and the gaps between the side walls of adjacent liquid storage devices can be covered with waterproof caps with downward openings to prevent water leakage from above from entering the gaps between the two liquid storage devices. Alternatively, the gaps between adjacent liquid storage devices can be waterproofed with waterproof material, and then hydrophilic or impregnated drainage devices can be used to guide the water leakage from the gaps into the liquid storage devices. The separate liquid storage devices can be interconnected and only one siphon device with an activation device can be installed, or each liquid storage device can be equipped with a siphon device with an activation device.

[0075] Liquid storage devices, especially interconnected liquid storage devices, are generally installed at an angle; or a drain pipe or intermediate liquid storage device is installed at a lower level than the bottom of the liquid storage device to install a siphon device with an activation device so that all or as much liquid as possible can be drained.

[0076] The rapid start device is a device or equipment that rapidly or instantaneously starts the siphon device by rapidly changing the pressure or liquid level within the siphon device or its auxiliary device (such as a liquid storage device) or the starting device; including at least one of the following: a narrow space at the connection between the expansion section and the secondary siphon bend; a float valve assembly that can open the drain port of the rapid start liquid storage device after the fluid rises in the expansion section; a liquid storage device with a drain port (or pipe) and an air inlet pipe (or port) and a float valve assembly that can control the opening or closing (i.e., on or off) of the air inlet pipe; a clamping or pressing switch or electronic valve controlled by the float valve (preferably with an elastic device); a locking or braking device or switch on the starting chamber (group) or the expansion section; a sealable starting liquid storage device and expansion chamber assembly; a locking or braking device or switch and a weight assembly; an energy storage device; and a lever device.

[0077] The locking or braking device or switch on the starting chamber (assembly) or expansion section is a device or mechanism that releases the gravity or buoyancy component only after the liquid level in the reservoir or expansion section (which, after descending, can lock the gravity or buoyancy component) rises to a certain position. It includes at least one of various suitable latches, locks, mechanisms, and one-way transmission mechanisms controlled by a buoyancy component or its traction device, a liquid level sensor, or a control system. The one-way transmission mechanism includes a wheel mechanism with opening and closing control, a one-way transmission mechanism or clutch with opening and closing control, and a combination of a crank and a stop rod that can be bent in one direction on a shaft with opening and closing control. The opening and closing control allows the locking or braking device or switch to be in either a locked or unlocked state, or to be engaged or disengaged from the transmission mechanism.

[0078] The buoyancy switch controls the on / off state of the fluid switch or fluid electronic switch directly or remotely (via a transmission device) by the change in the (suspended) gravity or buoyancy of a buoyancy component (such as a float valve or float block) at or near the starting limit position of the siphon device or the highest or set position of the liquid storage device. The change in liquid level alters the gravity or buoyancy of the buoyancy component. When the liquid level rises, the gravity of the buoyancy component decreases or the buoyancy increases, opening the buoyancy switch; when the liquid level falls, the gravity of the buoyancy component increases or the buoyancy decreases, closing the buoyancy switch.

[0079] The term "remote" refers to the space or location outside the main body, i.e., the container, where the buoyancy component is located. The transmission device includes at least one of the following: lever, suspension or traction device, transmission gear, speed change or amplification device, and steering or reversing device (such as pulley, fixed shaft, gear combination, etc.) (for changing the direction of force).

[0080] The locking or braking device or switch combined with the weight is used to release the lifted weight in a timely manner, so that the liquid level in the storage device or starting device rises rapidly or instantaneously and initiates the siphon effect.

[0081] The sealable start-up reservoir and expansion chamber combination connects the sealable start-up reservoir to the expansion chamber (such as a self-expanding compression chamber, telescopic expansion chamber, or cylinder). After the expansion chamber expands, an appropriate amount of fluid is drawn into the sealed start-up reservoir. Then, the start-up reservoir is opened, allowing the fluid in the start-up reservoir to flow downwards and activate the siphon device.

[0082] The energy storage device converts the potential energy of the float valve sinking or descending into mechanical energy and stores it. When it is necessary to quickly start the siphon device, the stored energy is released to drive the quick-start device or the telescopic cavity to start or compress, thereby starting the siphon device.

[0083] The lever device transmits the force of the weight or energy storage device to the quick-start device or telescopic cavity, driving the quick-start device or telescopic cavity to start or compress, thereby activating the siphon device.

[0084] An elastic transmission device can be added between the starting chamber or telescopic chamber and the buoyancy component. The buoyancy component drives the elastic transmission device, or a combination of the elastic transmission device and a transmission device (such as a lever, traction device, etc.), to change the extension or compression state of the starting chamber or telescopic chamber. Alternatively, a liquid level sensor and control switch combination can be installed between the starting chamber or telescopic chamber and the buoyancy component. The control switch is only opened after the buoyancy component or the liquid level rises to a certain height, at which point the buoyancy component or elastic transmission device drives the starting chamber or telescopic chamber to compress.

When there is an expansion part or a multi-bend arc-shaped bend 6 in the middle part of the siphon pipe, the inlet end of the drain pipe or starter pipe is not lower than the highest point of the multi-bend arc-shaped bend 6 or not lower than the position where the lower siphon pipe extends into the expansion part.

[0110] As a fundamental setting and description of this application, the following is provided:

[0111] It involves installing a hydrophilic material or device with capillary function at the outlet of a waterproof material interface, in a water accumulation area, or in a liquid storage device.

[0115] Preferably, a drainage ditch is provided below the water outlet of the siphon material to discharge the seepage water siphoned out by the siphon material to a designated drainage area.

[0116] Preferably, it is a multi-stage siphon device with two or more stages of capillary siphon function. The capillary siphon function of the next stage or the previous stage extends into the bottom of the liquid storage facility below the outlet of the previous stage or the next stage, and siphons the water flow siphoned up by the capillary siphon function of the previous stage to a higher position before discharging it; or an intermediate liquid storage box of appropriate size is set between the upper and lower stages of capillary siphon function hydrophilic materials or devices, the outlet of the lower stage capillary siphon function hydrophilic material or device extends into the upper part of the intermediate liquid storage box, and the lower part of the upper stage capillary siphon function hydrophilic material or device extends into the bottom of the intermediate liquid storage box, forming an integrated multi-stage siphon device.

[0117] Preferably, a waterproof membrane is wrapped around the hydrophilic material or device with capillary function.

[0118] Preferably, a siphon strip is provided in the drainage outlet to siphon out the leaking water; the drainage outlet includes at least one of the following methods: processing the surface adjacent to the water outlet side at least at the interface of each partition into a non-wetting surface not smaller than the siphon strip; processing the interface of the two waterproof partitions into a tightly fitting non-wetting surface not smaller than the siphon strip.

[0119] Preferably, the pressure relief channel is located on the inlet side of the interface between the two non-wetting surfaces, allowing the leaking water to drain freely; the pressure relief channel is a culvert or underground culvert with numerous pores or holes on the sidewalls or bottom to allow the leaking water to enter quickly, including at least one of the following: an arc-shaped pipe with an opening facing downwards, or a U-shaped or V-shaped cover, or a multi-shaped cover; a drain pipe with a water passage hole at the bottom, or a drain pipe with a flat bottom and water passage holes on the bottom and sides that allows water to drain; an upward protrusion of waterproof material at the interface; a hydrophilic drainage strip or combined drainage band; a hydrophilic drainage strip or combined drainage band covered with a waterproof membrane or roll material; or a combination of a hydrophilic drainage strip or combined drainage band installed in the culvert or underground culvert; including at least two or more of the above combinations.

This also helps to increase the height difference between the inlet and outlet of the siphon device in limited vertical spaces (such as in a sealed kitchen or bathroom space below, where leaking water from below is introduced into the room through the drain pipe opening on the floor and extends into the bend below the drain pipe or the horizontal drain pipe position). This increases the height difference between the point where leaking water from below converges and the drain bend or horizontal drain pipe position, resulting in a better siphon effect and faster drainage. The edge of the waterproof membrane is positioned in the middle of the non-impregnated gasket.

[0125] Preferably, it is equipped with a system detection alarm system in the liquid storage device, including at least one of the following: liquid level over-limit alarm, electronic inspection alarm system, or battery balance alarm system; the combination of liquid level sensor and controller can be a current switch controlled by a float valve, or a liquid level current electronic switch or sensor.

[0126] The liquid level over-limit alarm is connected to a liquid level alarm sensor or switch, which is installed in the liquid storage device.

The water storage facility is equipped with a liquid level over-limit alarm device. The sensing activation position of the liquid level over-limit alarm device is lower than the highest water storage level of the water storage facility. When the liquid level in the water storage facility reaches the sensing position of the over-limit alarm sensor, the liquid level over-limit alarm sensor sends an alarm signal so that maintenance or human intervention can be carried out in a timely manner.

[0127] The electronic inspection alarm system is an alarm system controlled by the electronic inspection system of the entire system. When the electronic system malfunctions, the electronic inspection alarm system will issue an alarm.

[0152] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0153] Example 1: Combination Figure 1 , Figure 22 It involves setting an expansion section 2 outside the liquid storage device 5, sealing and connecting the drain end of the (drainage pipe or) starting siphon bend 4 to the expansion section 2, and extending the inlet end of the starting siphon bend 4 below the liquid surface of the liquid storage device 5 (or to the bottom) after bypassing the highest position of the liquid storage device 5, i.e., the wall of the device. An appropriate amount of siphon fiber 3 is set in the starting siphon bend 4. The front end of the siphon fiber 3, i.e. the inlet port, should be lower than the highest liquid surface of the liquid storage device 5 and preferably extend to the bottom of the liquid storage device 5. The end of the siphon fiber 3, i.e. the drain port, should be lower than the highest liquid surface of the liquid storage device 5 and preferably lower than the bottom of the liquid storage device 5 after bypassing the side wall of the liquid storage device 5. The inlet end of the secondary siphon bend 1 is sealed and connected to the upper middle part of the expansion section 2 (as the highest position of the secondary siphon bend 1), and it is preferable to bend downward or extend downward to the bottom of the expansion section 2. The drain port of the secondary siphon bend 1 should be at least lower than the highest liquid level of the expansion section 2, and it is preferable to extend downward to below the bottom of the expansion section 2. The sealed connection between the expansion section 2 and the secondary siphon bend 1 should be lower than the highest liquid level of the liquid storage device 5, and it is preferable to be lower than the bottom of the liquid storage device 5. Alternatively, after connecting the secondary siphon bend 1 from the bottom of the expansion section 2, it should first bend upward or extend and then bend downward, so that the siphon bend after the expansion section 2 forms a downward-opening multi-fold arc bend 6, so that the secondary siphon bend 1 can form a siphon arc bend with a siphon effect again in the expansion section 2. When the position of the expansion section 2 is higher than the liquid storage device 5 or the liquid accumulation area, the drain port of the secondary siphon bend 1 should be at least lower than the highest liquid level of the liquid storage device 5 or the liquid accumulation area. The end of the starting siphon bend 4 can be lower than or higher than the top of the secondary siphon bend. The main body of the starting siphon bend 4 can be located outside or inside the expansion section 2, as long as the starting siphon bend 4 and the expansion section 2 are sealed together.

[0154] When water accumulates in the storage device 5 and comes into contact with the siphon fiber 3, the siphon fiber 3 will slowly draw the water upwards from the storage device 5, creating a siphon effect. The water will then flow downwards past the highest point of the storage device 5 (the wall) to the drain end of the siphon fiber 3, and finally drip or be injected into the expansion section 2. When the water level in the expansion section 2 rises to the highest point of the secondary siphon bend 1, the water will flow downwards past the highest point of the secondary siphon bend 1, creating a rapid siphon effect. Alternatively, the water column in the secondary siphon bend 1 may be lower than the bottom of the expansion section 2, creating a rapid siphon effect that quickly drains the water from the expansion section 2, causing a negative pressure in the expansion section 2. Under the negative pressure of the expansion section 2, the siphon bend 4 is activated, which again rapidly siphons and drains the water from the storage device 5, creating a continuous rapid siphon drainage effect and quickly draining the water from the storage device 5, thus improving the efficiency of siphon drainage.

[0155] Preferred, combined Figure 21 Based on the aforementioned embodiments, a siphon bend 36 (or primary siphon bend) with a clearly defined diameter (preferably 3-20 mm) and an opening facing downwards is installed parallel to the siphon fiber (i.e., in the liquid storage device 5, in the water accumulation area, or at the point where leakage water converges) and a secondary siphon bend 1 in a continuous or integrated siphon combination; the primary siphon bend 36 and the secondary siphon bend 1 are sealed and connected by the expansion part 2; the starting siphon bend 4 is sealed and connected to the side, top, or bottom of the expansion part 2. The length of the secondary siphon bend 1 should not be less than the downward bending length of the primary siphon bend 36, and preferably greater than the downward bending length of the primary siphon bend 36; or the downward extension height of the secondary siphon bend 1 should not be less than the height from the highest point of the primary siphon bend to the liquid surface of the liquid storage device 5. The inlet of the primary siphon bend 36 extends downward into the bottom of the liquid storage device 5 (or the water accumulation area); or is lower than the height of the liquid storage device 5 opening minus the height of the liquid level rise in the liquid storage device 5 after the siphon fiber 3 generates a siphon effect until the secondary siphon bend 1 generates a siphon effect. In other words, the inlet of the primary siphon bend 36 must ensure that the liquid accumulation in the liquid storage device 5 does not overflow before the secondary siphon bend 1 generates a siphon effect. That is, the height difference between the inlet of the secondary siphon bend 1 and the opening of the liquid storage device 5 is not less than the height of the liquid level rise in the liquid storage device 5 from the time the siphon fiber 3 generates a siphon effect until the secondary siphon bend 1 generates a siphon effect.

[0156] When the secondary siphon bend 1 generates a siphon effect, it creates a negative pressure in the expansion section 2, rapidly drawing water from the starting siphon bend 4, causing it to also generate a siphon effect. However, the starting siphon bend 4, filled with siphon fibers, has poor flowability and cannot meet the drainage requirements of the primary siphon bend 1. This increases the negative pressure in the expansion section 2, causing the primary siphon bend 36 to also generate a negative pressure and produce a continuous siphon effect. This rapidly siphons out the accumulated liquid or leaking water in the storage device 5, preventing the siphon efficiency or speed of a single siphon fiber 3 from being too slow to meet the siphon drainage requirements of large leaks, large flow rates, or large inflows to the storage device 5, thus avoiding waterproofing or siphon failure. Once all the accumulated liquid in the storage device 5 has been siphoned out, the siphon bend will stop generating a siphon effect and enter the next round of siphon drainage waiting or preparation work.

[0157] To prevent air in the expansion section 2 from affecting the next siphon effect, an air vent valve 35 should be installed in the starting siphon bend 4 after the highest liquid level in the storage device 5. Before the secondary siphon bend 1 generates a siphon effect, excess air in the expansion section 2 should be discharged, so that the siphon fibers can smoothly adsorb and siphon the accumulated water into the expansion section, or allow the accumulated water in the expansion section 2 to bypass the highest position of the secondary siphon bend 1 and allow air to slowly enter so that the water column can flow downward quickly to generate a siphon effect. After the siphon drainage effect is generated, the air vent valve 35 is closed, and air cannot or can only slowly enter the expansion section 2 from the starting siphon bend 4, so that the siphon drainage continues until all the accumulated liquid or leaking water in the storage device 5 is siphoned out.

[0158] Preferably, when the exhaust valve 35 is located in the middle of the starting siphon bend 4, its height can be lower than or higher than the top of the secondary siphon arc bend; however, it is preferable that it is not lower than or higher than the top of the secondary siphon bend.

[0159] Preferably, the volume of the enlarged portion 2 is not less than the volume of the primary siphon bend 36, and preferably greater than the volume of the primary siphon bend 36. Alternatively, the effective volume of the enlarged portion 2 below the top of the secondary siphon bend is not less than the volume of the primary siphon bend 36, and preferably greater than the volume of the primary siphon bend 36 after the liquid surface of the liquid storage device 5.

[0160] Preferably, the exhaust valve 35 can also be replaced by a device that functions as a one-way valve under negative pressure or a flexible closed tube or valve that can close automatically; it can also be replaced by other suitable valves to prevent air from quickly entering the expansion section 2; it can also be replaced by a flexible tube (or flexible closed valve) that can close automatically and open under positive pressure; or it can be replaced by a flexible closed valve made of a material whose inner wall can automatically fit together; it can even be replaced by an elastic device to appropriately open the two sides of the flexible tube outward (that is, to open the two sides of the side wall that fit together to both sides) or to clamp the side walls together to improve the closure; it can also be composed of a closed ball or block sealed and fitted with the pipe opening; it can also be set up by bending the flexible tube that can close automatically under negative pressure up and down or back and forth (that is, the upper or left pipe port extends to the lower or right pipe port and then is connected or connected by a flexible tube), so that the bend of the flexible tube that can close automatically under negative pressure is easier to close under negative pressure, thereby improving the flow restriction effect of the expansion section 2 under negative pressure. One-way venting valves or venting membranes can also be installed on the expansion section 2, the starting siphon bend 4, or the secondary siphon bend 1 (e.g., holes are provided on the side wall of the expansion section 2, the starting siphon bend 4, or the siphon bend above the highest point of the multi-bend arc bend and wrapped with a membrane or breathable membrane, or a membrane or breathable membrane is directly installed at the pipe opening to allow air to escape but not enter, or a breathable valve that is breathable but not water-permeable is installed), or one-way valves or sealing valves that can fit or seal to prevent or limit the rapid entry of air under negative pressure and can open to release air under positive or high pressure. In this case, the height of the venting valve 35, i.e., the upper pipe opening, should preferably be set above the water surface of the liquid storage device 5 or not lower than the liquid level when the lower secondary siphon bend 1 generates a siphon effect.

[0161] Preferred, combined Figure 11 It is a flexible closing valve 10 made of a flexible pipe 13 with an inner wall that can automatically fit together.

[0162] Preferred, combined Figure 12 It uses elastic material or elastic tightening device or structure 14 to clamp the flexible pipe 13 of the flexible closing valve 10 so that the inner wall can fit together, so that the inner wall fitting performance and closing performance of the flexible pipe or flexible closing valve are better.

[0163] Preferred, combined Figure 20 It is to provide elastic devices 37 on both sides of the flexible pipe 13 of the flexible pipe or valve 10 that are attached to the side wall (that is, the two sides of the flexible closing valve are spread outward, i.e., the two sides are spread outward), or to fix the two sides of the flexible closing valve with elastic inner wall attached by a rigid rod or plate with a length not less than the width after the inner wall of the flexible closing valve is attached, so as to improve the inner wall attachment and closing performance of the flexible pipe or valve 10.

[0164] Preferably, a small vent pipe, hole, or pinhole (or a waterproof and impermeable air membrane) can be provided on the expansion section 2 above the highest position of the multi-bend arc-shaped bend 6 or the secondary siphon bend 1, or on the starting siphon bend 4 (below the liquid level of the storage device 5 or after the highest position of the starting siphon bend 4). This allows the air in the expansion section 2, the starting siphon bend 4, or the siphon bend to be discharged from the small vent pipe under the gravity of the droplets or liquid column in the starting siphon bend 4 and under the pressure of the water flow adsorbed by the siphon fiber 3. This allows the fluid or liquid in the starting siphon bend 4 to be discharged from the small vent pipe. The liquid column can automatically enter the expansion section 2 or the siphon bend 4, the secondary siphon bend 1, or the multi-fold arc bend 6 to form a continuous liquid column or accumulated liquid until the secondary siphon bend 1 produces a siphon effect. After the siphon effect is produced, the tiny pinholes or waterproof and breathable membrane can prevent or limit the rapid entry of outside air into the secondary siphon bend 1 or the expansion section 2, thus ensuring the continuous generation of the siphon effect. Therefore, the expansion section 2 and branch structure in the middle of the combined or integrated siphon bend can be omitted, or at least the branch structure (i.e., the siphon fiber 3 and pipe combination that are branched and connected to the secondary siphon bend 1) can be omitted. In addition, after the water flow, i.e. the accumulated liquid, bypasses the highest point of the multi-fold siphon device or the expansion section, the tiny pinholes or breathable membrane can allow outside air to slowly enter the siphon device, so that the liquid column can quickly extend or flow downward, i.e., to the drain end of the siphon device, thereby improving the response speed of the siphon device. When airflow is obstructed after a multi-bend curved pipe or expansion section, small pinholes or a waterproof and breathable membrane can be installed on the pipe after the highest point of the multi-bend curved pipe or expansion section to allow liquid to accumulate smoothly. If the small pinholes or breathable membrane are breathable but not waterproof, they can also be installed on the multi-bend curved pipe or expansion section. Similarly, small pinholes or breathable membranes can be replaced by air venting valves, air venting membranes, or other breathable membranes.

[0165] Preferably, when the diameter of the starting siphon bend 4 is small and / or the inner surface is hydrophobic, an exhaust device should be installed in the pipe before the highest position of the secondary siphon bend 1, the expansion section 2, or the starting siphon bend 4, so that the air in the expansion section 2, the starting siphon bend 4, or the secondary siphon bend 1 can be naturally discharged, or the air in the expansion section 2, the starting siphon bend 4, or the secondary siphon bend 1 that is spaced apart from the liquid column can automatically gather upward to form a continuous air column. By continuously installing hydrophilic drainage elements (such as hydrophilic fibers or threads) or hydrophilic drainage surfaces (which can be installed throughout the inner wall of the pipe or continuously longitudinally on the inner wall) in the starting siphon bend 4, it is possible to prevent intermittent droplets from entering the starting siphon bend 4 and forming a stable, intermittent air column. Alternatively, it can allow droplets above an already formed or potentially formed air column to automatically flow downwards under the guidance of the hydrophilic drainage elements or hydrophilic drainage surfaces, eliminating the air column between two droplets or liquid columns, and allowing the fluid in the starting siphon bend 4 to flow smoothly. The hydrophilic drainage element or hydrophilic drainage surface can be directly pasted or coated in the existing pipe, or it can be added or made simultaneously during pipe forming (e.g., a device for adding hydrophilic drainage elements is set on the extrusion shaft of the pipe so that the hydrophilic drainage element is extruded synchronously with the pipe, or hydrophilic material is added to the extrusion shaft of the pipe so that the hydrophilic material is extruded synchronously with the pipe, and the hydrophilic drainage element or hydrophilic drainage surface is naturally integrated with the extruded pipe).

[0166] Preferably, a downward discharge check valve can be installed on the secondary siphon bend 1, and a fluid pressure reducing device (such as a cavity expansion or contraction device, a fluid one-way discharge device, etc.) can be installed on the expansion section 2. When siphon drainage is required, the fluid pressure reducing device can be manually or automatically activated to reduce the pressure in the expansion section 2 and draw the accumulated liquid into the expansion section 2 and above the highest point of the secondary siphon bend 1 to generate a siphon effect.

[0167] Example 2: Combination Figure 22 Based on the aforementioned embodiments, the middle section of the entire siphon bend 1 is bent up and down at least once to form a secondary siphon arc bend 6 with an opening facing downwards. The drain outlet of the starting siphon bend 4 is sealed and connected to the pipe before the top of the arc bend 6 of the secondary siphon bend 1. The size of the starting siphon bend 4 is appropriately increased, and the starting siphon bend 4 replaces the expansion part 2.

[0168] Preferably, the effective volume of the starting siphon bend 4 (i.e., the volume minus the volume of the siphon fiber 3) is not less than the volume of the first-stage siphon bend 36, and preferably greater than the volume of the first-stage siphon bend 36; or the effective volume of the starting siphon bend 4 below the top of the secondary siphon arc bend is not less than the volume of the arc bend area of ​​the first-stage siphon bend 36, and preferably greater than the volume of the arc bend area of ​​the first-stage siphon bend 36; or the sum of the effective volumes of the starting siphon bend 4 and the secondary siphon bend 1 below the top of the secondary siphon bend 1 (i.e. before the top of the secondary siphon bend 1) is not less than the volume of the arc bend area of ​​the first-stage siphon bend 36, and preferably greater than the volume of the arc bend area of ​​the first-stage siphon bend 36; or the effective volume of the siphon bend 4 is not less than the volume of the first-stage siphon bend 36 above its liquid surface both inside and outside the liquid storage device 5.

[0169] Example 3: Combination Figure 3 Based on the aforementioned embodiments, this method involves directly installing siphon fibers 3 tightly but with gaps within the siphon bend 4. This ensures that the siphon fibers 3 provide a channel for siphoning fluid upwards, especially after passing the highest point of the siphon bend 4, without creating voids in the fluid (even if voids exist, they are only tiny, scattered voids). This allows the fluid to flow or siphon downwards in a state of full or near-full pipe, at least after the highest point. Similarly, the drain outlet of the siphon bend 4 should be significantly lower than the liquid level or bottom of the storage device 5. Once the siphon effect is generated in the siphon bend 4, even if air is expelled backwards from the pipe before the highest point of the siphon bend 4, the amount is small and generally does not prevent or affect the continued generation of the siphon effect. The siphon effect will continue until the fluid in the storage device 5 is completely siphoned out.

[0170] Preferably, the gap between the siphon fibers 3 near the outlet end is set smaller than the gap between the siphon fibers 3 near the inlet end, that is, the siphon fibers 3 near the outlet end are set more tightly than the siphon fibers 3 near the inlet end; or the diameter of the siphon bend 4 near the outlet end of the siphon fibers 3 is set smaller than or flattened than the diameter of the siphon bend 4 near the inlet end.

[0171] Preferred, combined Figure 4It involves connecting a hollow acceleration tube 7 to the end of the starting siphon bend 4; or filling the siphon fiber 3 in the starting siphon bend 4 only to the liquid surface or bottom of the liquid storage device 5, so that the siphon bend 4 below the liquid surface or bottom of the liquid storage device 5 is hollow (the length of the hollow tube should be greater than the height from the liquid surface of the liquid storage device 5 to the opening), so that the siphoned water flow naturally fills the hollow tube cavity to produce a siphon effect, enhances the siphon effect of the siphon tube, and makes the discharge speed of the starting siphon bend 4 faster, that is, the siphon effect is greater; or setting one or more hydrophobic strips or fibers in the hollow siphon (acceleration) tube after the siphon fiber 3 to reduce the continuous tube diameter or space of the hollow siphon (acceleration) tube after the siphon fiber 3, so that the water droplets flow downward in a full tube state in the hollow siphon (acceleration) tube after the siphon fiber 3 to produce a siphon effect.

[0172] Preferably, the diameter of the hollow accelerator tube 7 is set to be smaller than that of the starting siphon bend 4, so that if the diameter of the hollow accelerator tube 7 is too large and the flow supply of the starting siphon bend 4 is insufficient, the fluid in the hollow accelerator tube 7 will flow directly down the tube wall (i.e., in a non-full tube state) under the action of gravity, causing air to enter from the bottom at the connection between the hollow accelerator tube 7 and the starting siphon bend 4, thereby disrupting the continuous generation of the siphon effect.

[0173] Preferably, the siphon bend after the siphon fiber is directly set with a horizontal extension section, an up-and-down bending section, or an up-and-down loop before bending downwards, or a space that can generate liquid accumulation (such as setting the inlet or port of the downward pipe after the siphon fiber above the liquid accumulation point), to prevent the siphon pipe from extending directly or vertically downwards at the end of the siphon fiber. This allows the water flow discharged by the siphon fiber to quickly gather at the discharge end of the siphon fiber, i.e., the end, to form a water column that is equivalent to the inner diameter of the siphon pipe, thus filling the pipe and causing the water flow discharged by the siphon to be discharged backwards or downwards in a full pipe state after the siphon fiber, thereby generating a siphon effect.

[0174] Preferably, the dimensions of the starting siphon bend 4 and the hollow accelerating tube 7 should not be too large, and their inner surfaces should be designed to have the opposite polarity to the fluid in the liquid storage device 5 (when the fluid in the liquid storage device 5 is a polar fluid, the inner surface of the tube should be a non-wetting or hydrophobic surface; when the fluid in the liquid storage device 5 is a non-polar fluid, the inner surface of the tube should be a wetting or hydrophilic surface). This prevents the fluid from naturally wetting the tube and instead causes it to flow downwards or backwards in a columnar form, preventing air from entering the tube upwards at the outlet and disrupting the siphon effect. Generally, the diameter of the hollow accelerating tube 7 should be smaller than the size of a normal droplet (around 3-5 mm). When the polarity of the inner wall of the tube differs significantly from that of the fluid, and the droplets can seal the tube diameter at any time, preventing the air on both sides of the liquid column (up and down or front and back) from communicating or merging together, the tube diameter can reach 6-10 mm or larger.

[0175] In summary, the purpose of this embodiment is to ensure that the water column in the siphon bend after the siphon fiber flows backward or downward in a full-pipe state, that is, to ensure that the speed at which the water column in the siphon bend after the siphon fiber flows downward or backward or moves forward is not less than the speed at which the water column soaks downward or backward in the pipe.

[0176] Example 4: Combination Figure 23 Based on the aforementioned embodiments, the inlet of the siphon fiber 3 (or the inlet of the siphon bend 4) and the inlet of the siphon bend 1 are respectively set in different liquid storage devices 5 or liquid accumulation areas, or one is set in the liquid storage device 5 and the other is set in the liquid accumulation area, so that the siphon fiber 3 is set in different areas for siphon drainage to perform siphon drainage and introduce the siphon water flow into the siphon bend 4, so as to quickly start the siphon effect of the siphon bend 1.

[0177] Preferably, the drain outlets of the siphon fibers 3 in multiple areas or liquid storage devices 5 or liquid accumulation areas can be simultaneously set in the same starting siphon bend 4; multiple starting siphon bends 4 (or siphon fibers 3) of multiple siphon devices can be set in the same leakage area or liquid storage device 5 or liquid accumulation area where adsorption siphon effect is easily generated; one siphon device can be equipped with multiple starting siphon bends 4 and placed into multiple corresponding different leakage areas or liquid storage devices 5 or liquid accumulation areas, and multiple starting siphon bends 4 can be set in one area or liquid storage device 5 or liquid accumulation area and connected to different siphon devices to achieve cross-drainage; so as to improve the generation speed or stability of the siphon effect of the siphon device.

[0178] Preferably, water from higher-positioned drainage systems or sludge accumulation areas can be directly introduced into the activating siphon bend 4 through a (hydrophilic) narrow-diameter pipe. When the pipe diameter is large, the pipe opening can be appropriately blocked but not completely sealed with a hydrophilic mesh or fiber, allowing water to enter but not rapidly. After the water from the drainage system or sludge accumulation area is introduced into the activating siphon bend 4 through the (hydrophilic) narrow pipe, the activation frequency of the siphon device is significantly higher than that of the activating siphon bend 4 relying on the slow flow guided by the siphon fibers 3. This allows the siphon device to quickly discharge fluid or sludge that has leaked, is under the waterproof interface, is in the storage device 5, or is in the sludge accumulation area.

[0179] Preferred, combined Figure 16Furthermore, the drain outlet or arc-shaped section of one siphon bend 1 can be directly or via a diversion pipe 20 connected to another siphon device (such as a secondary siphon bend 1, an expansion section 2, or a multi-bend pipe 6 after the arc-shaped section) or its starting siphon bend 4 (at the highest position or after the check valve). In particular, the drain outlet of the siphon device on the previous floor can be directly connected to the starting siphon bend 4 (at the highest position or after the check valve) or the expansion section 2 of the siphon device on the next floor, resulting in a higher starting frequency and better performance for the siphon devices. Alternatively, three or more levels of cross siphon devices can be installed to improve the cross-connection performance. In this case, the connection between the front and rear siphon bends should preferably be made with a flexible pipe so that after the liquid storage device 5 is drained, the inner wall of the connecting pipe can automatically seal under negative pressure to prevent air from flowing rapidly between the front and rear siphon bends.

[0180] Preferably, when the siphon bend 4 is activated without a one-way valve or one-way fluid device, the inlet of the secondary siphon bend 1 should be lower than the inlet of the primary siphon bend 36 or the lowest liquid level of the liquid storage device 5, or the outlet of the primary siphon bend 36 should be lower than its inlet or the lowest liquid level of the liquid storage device 5, so that once the secondary siphon bend 1 generates a siphon effect, it can continuously drain the accumulated liquid or excess liquid in the liquid storage device 5.

[0181] Example 5: Combination Figure 2 Based on the aforementioned embodiments, the siphon fiber 3 is directly installed in a siphon bend 1 with a significant diameter (preferably 3-20mm). The drain outlet of the siphon bend 1 should be significantly lower than the drain outlet of the siphon fiber 3 or the bottom of the liquid storage device 5. The middle part of the siphon bend 1 is arranged in a continuous or back-and-forth multi-fold arc bend (i.e., O-shaped spiral or loop bend) 6 (or the expansion part 2 combined with the arc bend or secondary siphon bend 1) as a starting device. The end of the siphon fiber 3 should preferably be before the lowest point of the multi-fold arc bend 6 or should not cross the highest point of the multi-fold arc bend or secondary siphon bend. The volume of the multi-bend curved pipe or the expansion section must also be no less than twice the height difference between the highest point of the multi-bend curved pipe or the expansion section and the liquid surface of the storage device, or between the liquid surface of the storage device and the highest point of the siphon device (i.e., the length of the siphon device from the liquid surface of the storage device around the highest point and back below the liquid surface), or the length after or below the multi-bend curved pipe 6 or the expansion section 2 must be no less than the length before or above the multi-bend curved pipe 6 or the expansion section 2. The pipe size at the front end, i.e., the upper part, of the series siphon device should be large so that good flow performance (i.e., pipe diameter) can still be maintained after the siphon fiber 3 is installed.

[0182] Example 6: Based on the aforementioned examples, this example expands the upper area (cross-section) of the liquid storage device, or connects two or more liquid storage devices in series, or uses a smaller front liquid storage device and a larger rear liquid storage device to reduce the rising speed of the liquid in the rear liquid storage device. Alternatively, the smaller front liquid storage device can be directly installed in the larger rear liquid storage device, eliminating the need for connecting pipes or interfaces, thereby reducing the rising speed of the leaking water in the later stages of the liquid storage process, allowing more time for the siphon fiber 3 to generate siphon adsorption, and reducing the initial height required for siphon adsorption.

[0183] Combination Figure 24 A water outlet 38 is provided above the front liquid storage device 37, connecting it to the rear liquid storage device 5. Siphon fibers 3 and siphon bends can also be installed in each liquid storage device, allowing the accumulated water in each device to be siphoned out. When the front liquid storage device 37 is nearly full, the water exceeding the height of the water outlet 38 is first discharged into the rear liquid storage device 5. This allows the siphon fibers 3 to accelerate the adsorption and siphoning effect when there is a deeper accumulation of liquid in the front liquid storage device 37, and also gives the liquid storage device assembly sufficient time for the siphon fibers 3 to generate a siphoning effect in the siphon bends.

[0184] Preferably, a starting pipe is installed in the front liquid storage device 37, and a primary siphon bend is installed in the rear liquid storage device 5. The discharge ends of both the starting siphon pipe and the primary siphon bend are sealed and connected to the expansion section or multi-bend arc-shaped bend. The diameter of the starting pipe of the front liquid storage device 37 is set very small and filled as much as possible with capillary siphon devices or siphon fibers 3, so that the starting pipe only plays an adsorption and siphoning role and does not play a rapid discharge role, preventing or limiting excessive fluid from passing through the starting pipe. After the suction effect is generated, the primary siphon bend undertakes the function of rapid siphon discharge. With this setting, after the primary siphon bend has discharged all the water in the downstream liquid storage device 5, the water in the upstream liquid storage device 37 may not have been completely discharged. Even if the water in the upstream liquid storage device 37 is completely discharged, its air intake is very small and will not stop or interrupt the siphon effect of the downstream secondary siphon bend 1. The siphon effect of the downstream secondary siphon bend 1 in the downstream liquid storage device 5 continues until the water in the liquid storage device 5 is completely discharged.

[0185] Preferably, the inlet of the same siphon bend can be connected to the front and rear liquid storage devices 5, but the inlet is connected to the bottom of the liquid storage device 5 through a flexible pipe, so that when there is liquid in the liquid storage device 5, the flexible pipe can open under the pressure of the liquid. When the liquid in the liquid storage device 5 is drained, the inner wall of the flexible pipe can automatically close under the negative pressure inside the pipe, preventing air from the adjacent pipe from entering and affecting the siphon effect.

[0186] Preferably, the siphon bend in the foremost liquid storage device 5 should be inserted directly downwards from the opening of the liquid storage device 5 to prevent the liquid from creating a communicating vessel effect at the inlet pipe connection and causing the downstream liquid storage device 5 to accumulate liquid simultaneously; or the connection point of the secondary siphon bend 1 with the inlet pipes at the front and rear should be located in the area above the highest liquid accumulation surface in the liquid storage device 5 or at the pipe after the highest liquid accumulation surface; or the bottom communicating vessel or pipe of the front and rear liquid storage devices 5 should be U-shaped, V-shaped or arc-shaped with the opening facing downwards and the highest connecting point of the communicating pipe should be located above the highest liquid accumulation surface of the liquid storage device 5 but below the lowest edge of the liquid storage device 5, so that the liquid in the front liquid storage device 5 can be discharged to the downstream liquid storage device after exceeding the highest liquid accumulation surface without overflowing. Alternatively, a float valve can be installed at the pipe opening connected to the bottom of the liquid storage device 5. This valve opens when the liquid depth in the liquid storage device 5 is high, allowing the liquid to drain normally. It closes when the liquid in the liquid storage device 5 is drained or the depth is low, preventing air from entering the secondary siphon bend 1 and thus terminating the siphon effect. Alternatively, the highest and lowest liquid levels of the front and rear liquid storage devices can be directly connected. A flexible pipe can be connected to the connection port at the lowest or lowest liquid level of the front liquid storage device, with a buoyancy device at the end of the flexible pipe to keep the pipe end always above the liquid surface. Alternatively, a shut-off valve (such as a buoyancy opening valve, a buoyancy closing valve, or a buoyancy clamp on the flexible pipe) can be installed on the connection channel at the lowest or lowest liquid level of the front and rear liquid storage devices. This ensures that fluid from the front liquid storage device can only flow to the rear liquid storage device through the upper connection port, and not through the lower or lowest connection port. However, fluid from the rear liquid storage device can flow to the front liquid storage device through the lower connection port.

[0187] Example 7: Based on the aforementioned examples, this method directly connects each secondary or single-stage siphon bend to the bottom of the liquid storage device, and installs a float valve at the pipe opening. When the liquid level in the storage device rises, the float valve opens, allowing the liquid to drain normally. When the liquid level in the storage device drops to the lowest point, the set position, or is completely drained, the float valve closes, preventing further drainage. During installation, the siphon bend is filled with fluid, ensuring it is always ready to start. When the float valve opens, the siphon bend siphons the water; when the float valve closes, the siphon bend stops siphoning, but fluid remains in the pipe in preparation for the next siphoning action. At this point, devices or facilities such as siphon fibers, curved bends, and expansion sections can be omitted, making the siphon bend a straight pipe. However, the diameter of the siphon bend (or drain pipe) should not be too large, so that the fluid will not be lost after the siphon bend (or drain pipe) stops draining, that is, the fluid in the siphon bend (or drain pipe) will not continue to be discharged from the pipe but will be stored in the pipe in preparation for the next siphon drainage.

[0188] Preferably, a one-way valve is installed at the outlet of the siphon bend (or drain pipe) or at a position lower than the liquid level or bottom in the liquid storage device, or the siphon bend (or drain pipe) is bent upwards or looped at least once at the outlet, and the highest point of the bend is not higher than the bottom or liquid level of the liquid storage device, to prevent air from entering the siphon bend from the outlet of the siphon bend (or drain pipe), or for the liquid accumulated in the siphon bend (or drain pipe) to be discharged or evaporate naturally.

[0189] Preferably, the inner wall of the siphon bend (or drain pipe) is set as a non-wetting surface, preferably a hydrophobic surface, so that after the float valve is closed, the water column in the pipe does not easily flow towards the outlet but remains stationary in the pipe.

[0190] Preferably, it is equipped with connecting pipes with hard inner walls that are difficult to adhere to at each bend of the siphon bend (or drain pipe), or the pipe wall at the bend is thickened and hardened (e.g., by using solidifying or condensing materials) to prevent the pipe from adhering to the inner wall at the bend.

[0191] Preferably, when the siphon fiber, especially the siphon bend, is made of a hard and fragile material (such as glass) that is inconvenient to bend directly, a bend joint or interface with a diameter similar to that of the siphon fiber, especially the siphon bend and with a hydrophilic inner surface can be provided as a connection interface for the bend, so as to maintain the continuity of the siphon effect of the siphon fiber 3, especially the siphon bend.

[0192] Preferably, to reduce the frequent activation of the siphon effect, the closing valve (including a float valve, or a flexible closing valve or pipe) can be configured as a gravity valve (density greater than the fluid), with an inclined downward pipe opening combined with a buoyancy closing device and an opening device (including a float valve, or a flexible closing valve or pipe). The upper side of the gravity valve is connected to the upper side of the inclined downward pipe opening via a pivot or rotation, and the lower side of the gravity valve is connected to the closing device via rotation or traction. When the liquid level drops to the set position, the gravity valve is closed by suction, and the force of the buoyancy closing device will bypass the pivot on the upper side of the gravity valve to make the closed valve fit more tightly, completing the valve closing operation. In addition, a traction device is set on the lower side of the gravity valve in a horizontal outward direction, i.e., in the direction the pipe opening is facing, and connected to the opening device. When the liquid level rises to the set position, the buoyancy opening device pulls the gravity valve outward to open the gravity valve. Alternatively, the closing valve can be configured as a gravity valve (with a density similar to or less than that of water), combined with a vertical or inclined upward-facing pipe opening and a buoyancy opening device. When the liquid level drops to the set position, suction and gravity will hold the gravity valve tightly against the pipe opening, completing the valve closing operation. When the liquid level rises to the set position, the buoyancy opening device will pull the gravity valve upward to open it.

[0193] Preferably, the length of the secondary siphon bend below the expansion section and the multi-bend arc-shaped bend should not be less than the downward bending length of the primary siphon bend or the starting pipe, or the downward bending length of the siphon bend above the liquid surface of the storage device, and preferably greater than the downward bending length of the primary siphon bend or the starting pipe; or the volume in the expansion section and the multi-bend arc-shaped bend should not be less than the downward bending volume of the primary siphon bend or the starting pipe, or the downward bending volume of the siphon bend above the liquid surface of the storage device, and preferably greater than the downward bending volume of the primary siphon bend or the starting pipe; or ensure that... Before the accumulated liquid in the enlarged section or the multi-bend arc-shaped bend, or the water flow from the drain outlet of the secondary siphon bend, is completely drained, the front end of the water column in the upper siphon bend should not be higher than the liquid surface in the storage device, and preferably lower than the liquid surface in the storage device. Alternatively, the absolute height difference between the liquid columns formed downwards (i.e., backwards) or towards the drain outlet in the enlarged section or the multi-bend arc-shaped bend, or in the lower secondary siphon bend, should not be less than the height difference between the liquid surface in the storage device and the highest point of the secondary siphon bend. Furthermore, the volume in the enlarged section or the multi-bend arc-shaped bend should not be less than the volume required by the lower secondary siphon bend to generate the aforementioned height difference.

[0194] Example 8: Combination Figure 5 , Figure 6 Based on the aforementioned embodiments, this method involves sealing and connecting the siphon starter pipe 8 with the pipe following the highest point of the primary siphon bend 4, or the pipe preceding the lowest point of the expansion section 2 or the multi-bend arc bend 6. When the siphon bend needs to be activated, a suitable amount of fluid (enough to induce a siphon effect in the secondary siphon bend 1) is injected into the siphon starter pipe 8, or it is briefly connected to a pressurized or powered fluid source (such as a tap water pipe) before the siphon starter pipe 8 is closed, allowing the siphon bend to siphon out the fluid in the storage device 5. In this way, fluid can be manually injected into the siphon starter pipe 8 periodically or intermittently to activate the siphon device and then closed to drain the accumulated liquid in the storage device 5. Similarly, the liquid accumulation in the storage device 5 or the accumulation area can be detected manually or electronically. When the accumulation is deep, fluid can be manually or automatically injected into the siphon starter pipe 8 to activate the siphon device and then closed to drain the accumulated liquid in the storage device 5. At this time, the expansion section 2 or the multi-bend arc-shaped bend 6 can be set higher than the liquid level of the liquid storage device 5, reducing the requirement that the expansion section 2 or the multi-bend arc-shaped bend 6 must be lower than the liquid level of the liquid storage device 5. The length from the connection interface of the secondary siphon bend 1 and the starting pipe 8 to the drain outlet should preferably be no less than the length from the connection interface to the inlet; or the height of the drain outlet of the secondary siphon bend 1 should not be higher than the height of the liquid level or bottom in the liquid storage device 5; or the length from the connection interface of the secondary siphon bend 1 and the starting pipe 8 to the drain outlet should be no less than the length of the siphon bend above the liquid level of the liquid storage device 5 after it goes around the highest point and returns to the liquid level of the liquid storage device 5.

[0195] Preferred, combined Figure 7 , Figure 8This system involves installing a check valve 9 before the connection between the starting pipe 8 and the siphon bend 4, or at the inlet of the siphon bend 4, to prevent backflow of fluid. The siphon bend 4 after the check valve 9 is then connected to the starting pipe 8. The starting pipe 8 can then be connected to a pressurized or energetic fluid source with controllable or adjustable flow rate to act as an intermittent starting device. Fluid from this intermittent starting device, with a controllable or adjustable flow rate (preferably much less than the full-pipe flow rate of the siphon bend 4), enters the siphon bend 4 intermittently, causing it to generate a siphon effect. At this time, the vertical length (i.e., vertical height) or volume from the connection between the siphon bend 4 and the starting pipe 8 to the liquid surface of the storage device 5 should preferably be no greater than (and less than) the vertical length (i.e., vertical height) or volume of the siphon bend 4 outlet being lower than the liquid surface in the storage device 5. At this point, the entire siphon drainage device only requires a combination of a single-stage siphon bend and an intermittent start device to intermittently and quickly siphon out the liquid in the storage device 5 or the water accumulation area, making the structure of the siphon drainage device simpler.

[0196] Preferred, combined Figure 17 In this embodiment, the one-way valve 9 can be directly installed in or on the inlet (i.e., the interface communicating with the liquid storage device 5) of the three-way pipe 21 (i.e., the tee) connecting the siphon bend 4 and the start-up pipe 8, that is, the one-way valve 9 and the three-way pipe 21 (i.e., the tee) are processed into a whole, which simplifies the structure. Alternatively, the tee interface 24 connected to the start-up pipe 8 can be bent backward into a bend to reduce the size or space occupied by the tee interface after connection.

[0197] Example 9: Combination Figure 9 Based on the aforementioned embodiments, a starting liquid storage device 11 (such as a bottle or can) is set at the front end of the siphon starting pipe 8, i.e., the water injection end. The siphon starting pipe 8 is connected to the bottom of the starting liquid storage device 11, or the siphon starting pipe 8 is inserted from the middle of the side wall of the starting liquid storage device 11 and extends into the bottom or lower middle part of the starting liquid storage device 11. When the siphon bend 4 is manually started, the starting fluid is directly injected into the starting liquid storage device 11 and exceeds the highest point of the siphon starting pipe 8 or a certain height.

[0198] Preferred, combined Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 It involves installing a float valve 15 in the start-up liquid storage device 11 or in the drain area, capable of stably covering or closing the drain outlet (i.e., the float valve 15 can move freely up and down, or its upward movement is partially restricted while its left and right movement is restricted, or it can always cover the drain outlet after movement). When the fluid in the start-up liquid storage device 11 is drained or drops to a certain depth, the float valve 15 automatically closes, causing the secondary siphon bend 1 to automatically generate a siphon effect (e.g., ...). Figure 13(as shown); or a flexible hose 13 is installed between the siphon starter pipe 8 and the starter reservoir 11 or at the opening of the siphon starter pipe 8. After the secondary siphon bend 1 generates a siphon effect, the hose is clamped with a clamp 14 to close the drainage of the starter reservoir 11, so that the secondary siphon bend 1 automatically generates a siphon effect (as shown). Figure 12 (as shown); or a flexible hose 13 with an inner wall that automatically closes under negative pressure is installed between the siphon start pipe 8 and the start liquid storage device 11 or at the pipe opening. After the fluid in the start liquid storage device 11 is drained, the inner wall of the flexible hose 13 automatically closes and closes the siphon start pipe 8, so that the secondary siphon bend 1 automatically generates a siphon effect (as shown). Figure 11 (As shown).

[0199] Preferred, combined Figure 14 The float valve 15 can also be replaced by a combination of a drain outlet located at the concave bottom of the start-up liquid storage device 11 and a ball float valve 15. When the water level of the start-up liquid storage device 11 drops, the ball float valve 15 can automatically slide down to the drain outlet at the concave bottom of the start-up liquid storage device 11 to close the drain outlet.

[0200] Preferred, combined Figure 15 The float valve 15 can also be replaced by a combination of a weighted ball or block (with a density greater than 1) connected below the float and a pipe or pipe opening that perfectly or completely fits the surface of the weighted ball or block and has a pipe diameter smaller than that of the weighted ball or block. When the water level in the storage device 11 is deep or high, the float lifts the weighted ball or block, and the valve opens; when the water level in the storage device 11 is shallow or low, the float lowers the weighted ball or block, and the valve closes.

[0201] Preferably, the length or height of the siphon starter pipe 8 should not be less than the length from the liquid surface in the liquid storage device 5 to the highest point of the secondary siphon bend 1; or the volume of the siphon starter pipe 8 should not be less than the volume from the liquid surface in the liquid storage device 5 to the highest point of the secondary siphon bend 1; or the volume of the siphon starter pipe 8 or the starter liquid storage device 11 should not be less than the minimum volume required to activate the siphon effect of the expansion portion 2 or the multi-bend arc bend 6 of the secondary siphon bend 1.

[0202] Preferred, combined Figure 10 When the diameter of the siphon bend 4 is large and the water flow cannot form a liquid column to block the air in the pipe, it is advisable to install a switch 12 at the drain outlet or drain end of the siphon bend. When injecting fluid into the siphon bend, first close the drain outlet switch 12. When the liquid volume in the siphon bend reaches the level that can produce a siphon effect, then close the switch of the siphon start pipe 8, or seal the inner wall of the siphon start pipe 8, or directly block the start pipe, and then open the drain outlet switch 12.

[0203] Preferably, a sealable starter bag can be used instead of the starter storage device 11 and valve combination. When starting the siphon device, water is injected into the starter bag and then sealed. The fluid in the starter bag automatically flows downward under the action of gravity into the starter pipe or siphon device. When the fluid in the starter bag is drained, a negative pressure is generated in the starter bag to start the siphon device.

[0204] Preferably, the expansion section 2 is connected to the preceding siphon bend using a tee connector. One end of the tee connector should face upwards, one end should be horizontal, and the other end should connect to the expansion section 2. This allows for the selection of a suitable connection interface based on the direction of the preceding siphon bend, while unused interfaces can be closed. Of course, the tee connector can also be used to connect siphon devices connected in series.

[0205] Preferably, when this technology or device uses indoor siphon drainage, in order not to affect the indoor visual appearance, the high-level expansion section (generally located in a concealed indoor area) can be positioned directly above the opening of the leakage water collection and storage device, making the overall siphon drainage more aesthetically pleasing and not occupying too much indoor space. In this case, the primary or front siphon pipe can enter from the bottom of the expansion section and extend all the way to above the highest point of the secondary siphon pipe, or the front siphon pipe can enter from the bottom of the expansion section, extend to a high position, and then bend downward to reduce the height of the front siphon, or the front siphon pipe inside the expansion section can be set as a flexible pipe with a float at the port, so that the drainage port of the front siphon pipe always floats on the water surface.

[0206] Preferably, when the high-level expansion portion cannot be stably positioned above the opening of the liquid storage device, the bottom of the high-level expansion portion can be configured to match the opening of the liquid storage device (e.g., the bottom can be inserted into the upward opening of the liquid storage device, but there is a stepped structure above the bottom to prevent excessive sliding; or the bottom has a recess that can fit over the upward opening of the liquid storage device); or an interface can be provided that can simultaneously fit over the upward opening of the liquid storage device and the high-level expansion portion (and prevent the high-level expansion portion from sliding excessively).

[0207] Preferably, siphon (inlet) connection interfaces can be provided at the bottom of the expansion section and on the expansion section above the highest position of the secondary siphon device. In actual use, one interface is connected to the inlet siphon device and the other interface is closed, so as to flexibly select the setting position or direction of the siphon device before the expansion section according to the installation site or environment.

[0208] Preferably, all interfaces of the expansion section are airtight. For ease of inspection, installation, and maintenance, the main body below the expansion section should ideally have a screw port interface higher than the highest point of the secondary siphon device, and a sealing gasket should be placed at the screw port of the cover. The secondary siphon device or pipe should ideally be located in the lower section of the expansion section to improve sealing performance. All other interfaces with pipes must be strictly sealed or integrally sealed.

[0209] Preferably, a flow regulating valve can be installed between the starting liquid storage device 11 or the energetic or pressurized fluid device and the starting pipe 8, or on the starting pipe 8, so that the energetic fluid can only slowly enter the siphon bend 4 or the expansion section or the multi-bend arc bend and intermittently generate a siphon effect. The intermittent starting frequency, i.e., the intermittent time, of the siphon device can be adjusted by adjusting the flow rate of the flow regulating valve, so that the starting frequency of the siphon device can be adjusted according to the inflow rate of the liquid storage device or the liquid accumulation area, so that the overall drainage capacity or flow rate of the siphon device is always greater than the inflow rate of the liquid storage device or the liquid accumulation area; or so that the siphon device generates a siphon effect before the water in the liquid storage device or the liquid accumulation area overflows, so that the water in the liquid storage device or the liquid accumulation area is quickly discharged. At this time, the energy storage fluid source slowly flows into the siphon device or the expansion section or the multi-bend arc bend, intermittently generating a siphon effect, but it cannot meet the full-load siphon drainage flow rate requirement of the siphon device. The siphon device can only meet the drainage requirements of the siphon device by siphoning out the fluid in the liquid storage device or the liquid accumulation area.

[0210] Preferred, combined Figure 25 When the siphon start pipe 8 and the siphon pipe 4 are connected after the highest position and the water flow in the siphon start pipe 8 does not backflow, the one-way valve 9 before the connection between the siphon start pipe 8 and the siphon pipe 4 can be omitted.

[0211] Preferred, combined Figure 34 The starting liquid storage device 11 can be sealed and connected to the self-expanding compression chamber 54 (with one-way valve 9 and one-way regulating valve 55 for outward discharge of fluid) via pipe 43. When the siphon device is activated, the starting liquid storage device 11 is made to draw in a certain amount of fluid by squeezing the self-expanding compression chamber 54 (when compressed, one-way valve 9 discharges air while one-way regulating valve 55 closes; when expanded, one-way valve 9 closes while one-way regulating valve 55 draws air). Then, the one-way regulating valve 55 is opened, allowing the fluid in the starting liquid storage device 11 to flow downwards and activate the siphon device. The self-expanding compression chamber 54 can also be replaced by a telescopic expansion chamber or a cylinder.

[0212] Example 10: Combination Figure 26Based on the aforementioned embodiments, this method involves installing a (instantaneous) pumping device in the liquid storage device 5, and a one-way valve 9 at the inlet of the siphon bend 4 to prevent backflow of fluid. A three-way pipe is installed after the one-way valve 9, connecting to the (instantaneous) pumping device 39. The pump 39 is used as an intermittent start-up device, and the control system intermittently sends commands to the (instantaneous) pumping device 39 to start it. Alternatively, a liquid level sensor is installed in the liquid storage device 5, which transmits the fluid depth information in the liquid storage device 5 to the control system. When the fluid depth reaches or exceeds the start-up (i.e., set) liquid level, the control system sends a command to the (instantaneous) pumping device 39 to start it. After the (instantaneous) pumping device starts and pumps for a short period of time sufficient to create a siphon effect in the siphon bend 4, it stops pumping, and subsequent drainage is carried out by the siphon effect. In other words, the (instantaneous) pumping device 39 only completes the initial siphon effect startup of the siphon device and does not continuously provide power to the siphon device. The duration of the instantaneous start-up of the (instantaneous) pumping device 39 can be adjusted or determined based on the length of the siphon bend 4 or the height that the siphon drainage needs to bypass.

[0213] When the fluid flow performance is still good after the (instantaneous) pumping device is not running, the (instantaneous) pumping device can be directly set at the inlet or end of the siphon bend 4, and the one-way valve and three-way pipe can be omitted, making the structure of the siphon device simpler.

[0214] Preferably, the pump can also be other suitable pumping equipment or devices such as booster pumps or submersible pumps.

[0215] Example 11: Based on the aforementioned examples, a variable-volume starting (or expansion) chamber is provided within the liquid storage device (or water accumulation area). The bottom of the starting chamber is connected to the liquid storage device via a one-way valve. A siphon pipe with a volume smaller than the starting chamber is installed at a lower position in the starting chamber. A compression device is provided to change the volume of the starting chamber, and a control or drive device is provided to drive the compression device. When the liquid level in the liquid storage device rises, the accumulated liquid can enter the starting chamber through the one-way valve, causing the liquid level in the starting chamber to rise synchronously.

[0216] Preferably, the starting chamber can be at least one of a telescopic cylinder, a piston device, a self-expanding elastic chamber, or a self-expanding flexible chamber under positive pressure. When the inlet of the liquid storage device is equipped with a check valve or a flow control valve and has an upward opening that can be sealed, or when the flow rate and direction are controllable (e.g., by installing a flow control valve or a fluid valve), the liquid storage device can be directly used as the starting chamber. The starting chamber can also be a device with a locally variable volume, especially when it is inconvenient to install a compression device, control device, or drive device that changes the volume inside the liquid storage device; in this case, the variable volume area of ​​the starting chamber can be located outside the liquid storage device. A rigid component can be installed outside the elastic or flexible starting chamber for clamping and compression. The starting chamber can be equipped with an automatic expansion or telescopic device, or an elastic expansion device, so that the compressed starting chamber can automatically expand.

[0217] Preferably, the compression device can be at least one or a combination of two or more of the following: a screw and nut combination, a crankshaft and connecting rod combination, an elastic (tension or compression) device, a traction device, a clamping mechanism, a telescopic device (such as a telescopic rod), and a gravity (squeezing or compression) device. When the water level in the storage device is low, the compression device extends, expands, contracts, lifts, or releases to increase the volume of the starting chamber to store more fluid. When the water level in the storage device rises to a set height, the compression device compresses, releases, contracts, or descends to reduce the volume of the starting chamber. The one-way valve closes, forcing the fluid stored in the starting chamber into the siphon tube and creating a siphon effect. The compression device stops operating or automatically closes, the one-way valve opens, and the liquid accumulated in the storage device is siphoned out by the siphon tube. After the liquid in the storage device is drained or reaches the set position, the compression device extends or expands again. Of course, the compression device can also slowly extend or expand after the siphon tube has created a siphon effect without affecting the siphon effect. The pressure generated by the gravity (squeezing or compressing) device is greater than the drop from the liquid surface in the starting chamber to the highest point of the siphon device.

[0218] Preferably, the compression control or drive device for the starting chamber can be at least one of manual, motor-driven, or a combination of lever, shaft, pulley, and buoyancy element. The combination of lever, shaft, pulley, and buoyancy element involves using a buoyancy element within the liquid storage device to control or drive the lifting or lowering of a gravity element, or the stretching or compression of an elastic device to compress or release the starting chamber. When the water level in the liquid storage device is low, the buoyancy element descends, prying up the lever or rotating shaft to lift the gravity element, or causing the elastic device to store energy and expand the starting chamber; when the water level in the liquid storage device rises or reaches a set height, the buoyancy element rises, releasing the lever, shaft, or pulley to lower the gravity element, or releasing the elastic device to compress the starting chamber. In combinations of levers and buoyancy components, the gravity or elastic device can be directly connected to or suspended from the lever. The buoyancy component drives the lever to rotate, thereby leveraging the gravity or elastic device to achieve compression or release. In combinations of shafts and buoyancy components, the gravity or elastic device should preferably be connected to or suspended from the shaft via a traction device. The rotation of the lever rotates or releases the traction device, thus achieving the buoyancy, gravity, or elastic device's ascent and descent, and achieving compression or release. In combinations of shafts and pulleys, the gravity or elastic device should preferably be connected to or suspended from the buoyancy component via a traction device. The rotation of the pulley achieves the buoyancy, gravity, or elastic device's ascent and descent, and achieving compression or release. The lever arm of the gravity or elastic device should be shorter than the lever arm of the buoyancy component.

[0219] Combination Figure 30Lever 46 is mounted on fulcrum 45. Gravity element 48 and buoyancy element 47 are connected to lever 46 via traction device 44. Gravity element 48 is positioned above starting chamber 49. After buoyancy element 47 rises, gravity element 48 compresses starting chamber 49, causing fluid in starting chamber 49 to be injected into siphon tube 4, creating a siphon effect. After buoyancy element 47 descends, gravity element 48 does not compress starting chamber 49, and starting chamber 49 can expand under the pressure of the fluid. Buoyancy element 47 is located in the liquid storage device or liquid accumulation area. Starting chamber 49 can also be a (vertical) telescopic chamber, which draws in fluid when it extends upward (preferably via buoyancy element); or it can be an (emptied or only retaining a small amount of gas) elastic expansion chamber, which draws in fluid to a certain height (even exceeding the maximum height of the siphon device) when it releases its expansion, thus improving the siphon starting effect.

[0220] Preferably, a control mechanism or device is installed in the liquid storage device or water accumulation area. The control mechanism or device releases the telescopic or compressive device only when the water level reaches the set height. The control mechanism or device does not release when the water level has not reached the set height.

[0221] Preferably, the starting chamber is equipped with a small vent hole, a flow-limiting valve that opens when the flow rate is low and closes when the flow rate is high, a drain or vent with a flexible pipe inside the starting chamber, and a closable fluid valve as a flow control valve or device, so that the air in the expanded starting chamber can be automatically discharged when the water level rises slowly without affecting the rise of the water level in the starting chamber; the starting chamber is closed or the air in the starting chamber is not quickly discharged during compression, so as not to affect the compression and discharge of fluid from the starting chamber.

[0222] Preferably, the starting chamber can be made of either a flexible or rigid material, depending on the compression device. The starting chamber can be located either inside or outside the liquid storage device 5. When the starting chamber is located inside the liquid storage device 5, it is preferable to design it as an automatically expanding elastic starting chamber, allowing it to expand automatically as the liquid level rises (in this case, the volume of the liquid storage device 5 below the siphon inlet should preferably be no less than the volume of the starting chamber, ensuring that the starting chamber remains fully filled with fluid regardless of whether it is expanding or contracting, guaranteeing a rapid start-up effect); or the starting chamber can be separated from the liquid storage device 5, so that the rising liquid level in the liquid storage device 5 does not exert pressure on the starting chamber, allowing it to expand automatically.

[0223] Preferably, a (rigid) support rod can be used to directly connect the lever 46 to the buoyancy member 47, and the lever 46 to the starting chamber 49 or the gravity member 48 or the compression device (such as a compression plate or rod) of the starting chamber 49. After the buoyancy member 47 floats up, it directly compresses the starting chamber 49, causing the fluid in the starting chamber 49 to be injected into the siphon tube 4 to generate a siphon effect. After the buoyancy member 47 descends, it can also drive the starting chamber 49 to expand. At this time, the starting chamber 49 can be set outside the liquid storage device 5 and connected to the liquid storage device 5.

[0224] Preferred, combined Figure 31 It is connected directly above the starting chamber 49, or via a pipe 52, to a sealed, appropriately inflated (inflated volume less than the volume above the drain port of the starting chamber 49) (flexible compression or) telescopic chamber 51, forming a combination of the starting chamber and the telescopic chamber. When the liquid level in the storage device 5 rises, it enters the starting chamber 49, forcing the air in the starting chamber 49 into the telescopic chamber 51, causing the telescopic chamber 51 to expand. The degree of expansion of the telescopic chamber 51 can be used to observe the liquid level in the storage device 5. When the telescopic chamber 51 is highly expanded, it is directly squeezed or compressed, forcing the gas in the telescopic chamber 51 into the starting chamber 49, which in turn forces the fluid in the starting chamber 49 into the siphon tube 4, creating a siphon effect. The compression of the telescopic chamber 51 can be operated manually, or by a combination of gravity and buoyancy components, or by an electronic or mechanical compression device. In this case, the telescopic cavity 51 can also be replaced by a self-expanding compression cavity 54 (with a corresponding valve) or other suitable fluid pressurization device (such as an air pump, compressor, etc.) that can fill or inject fluid into the starting cavity 49. In this case, the starting cavity 49 is rigid or has a limited maximum volume.

[0225] Preferably, the telescopic cavity 51 is elastically self-expanding, and except for its sealed connection with the starting cavity 49, it is preferably sealed. When the telescopic cavity 51 expands, it can siphon fluid (in the lower part of the liquid storage device 5) into the starting cavity 49 equipped with a one-way valve (only inlet, no outlet). By compressing the telescopic cavity 51, it can be directly used to extract fluid upwards, replacing the liquid pumping mechanism. At this time, the starting cavity 49 is preferably rigid or (partially, especially the lower part) elastically expanding or inflating to resist pressure changes during the expansion of the telescopic cavity 51 and prevent compression. The elastic expanding or inflating structure also facilitates the starting cavity 49 to pass through narrow diameters and increases the volume of fluid extracted in a single operation. The elastic expanding or inflating structure can also be wrapped around or independently set on the rigid starting cavity 49 and connected to the starting cavity 49 (sealed via upper and lower connecting pipes or interfaces), so that the gas and liquid between the elastic expanding or inflating structure and the starting cavity flow separately (through upper and lower channels), improving the suction and discharge stability of the starting cavity. It can be widely used for direct upward extraction of fluid in various liquid storage devices. Weights can also be added to the starting chamber 49 to ensure stable sinking to the bottom of the liquid storage device and improve the stability of the suction fluid.

[0226] Preferably, when the height of the fluid drawn into the elastic start chamber 49 and / or the telescopic chamber 51 is greater than the highest position of the siphon device, a valve can be installed on the elastic start chamber 49 and the telescopic chamber 51. When the siphon device needs to be started, the valve can be opened to start the siphon device. After the siphon device is started, it compresses the elastic start chamber 49 and / or the telescopic chamber 51 to expel the air, and then closes the valve, allowing it to expand naturally.

[0227] Preferred, combined Figure 32This device is equipped with both a compression device (such as a lever) and a telescopic chamber 51 to discharge the fluid in the starting chamber 49. When starting the siphon device, one or both starting methods can be selected, making the starting performance of the siphon device more reliable. When the connecting pipe 52 is connected to the bottom of the starting chamber 49, it is advisable to extend the connecting pipe into the starting chamber 49 and install a float at the end so that the end of the connecting pipe 52 is always above the liquid surface.

[0228] Combination Figure 33 When the compression device of the starting chamber 49 and the telescopic chamber 51 is released or depressurized, and the starting chamber can backflow the fluid in the siphon tube 4, a one-way valve can be installed on the siphon tube after the drain port of the starting chamber to prevent the fluid in the siphon device from flowing back. Alternatively, the siphon tube can be led out from the top of the starting chamber so that when the fluid enters the starting chamber, the air can be directly discharged upward from the siphon tube.

[0229] Preferably, when the liquid storage device 5 (other than the inlet and outlet) can be sealed, the liquid storage device 5 can be directly used as the starting chamber 49, making the structure of the automatic siphon device simpler. However, the inlet should preferably be equipped with a one-way valve that allows only inflow and no outflow. A rigid cover or cylinder should preferably be provided outside the flexible starting chamber 49 to prevent the fluid outside the starting chamber 49 from compressing the starting chamber 49, or the starting chamber 49 can be provided with an automatically expanding (elastic) structure, or the starting chamber 49 can be configured as a telescopic chamber that can expand and contract when the gravity component moves up and down.

[0230] Preferably, the starting chamber 49 or the telescopic chamber 51 can be manually or mechanically pressed or compressed to allow the fluid in the starting chamber 49 to be discharged into the siphon tube, generating or initiating the siphon effect. A locking or braking device or switch can also be installed on the gravity component or its traction device. After the buoyancy component descends to a certain position, the gravity component is lifted and locked, and the gravity component is released only after the buoyancy component rises to the set position. Alternatively, a locking or braking device or switch can be installed on the buoyancy component or its traction device. After the buoyancy component descends to a certain position, the buoyancy component is locked, and the buoyancy component is released only after the fluid in the storage device rises to the set position. The locking or braking device or switch can be at least one of the following devices: a clamp, a latch, a mechanism, a one-way transmission mechanism, or a braking mechanism, which controls the buoyancy component to perform telescopic, locking or releasing, starting or stopping, moving or braking operations, thereby completing the release or locking of the gravity component and initiating the siphon effect in a timely manner. The locking or braking device or switch can also be an electronic or mechanical switch or control device controlled by a liquid level sensor.

[0231] Preferably, an elastic transmission device can be added between the starting chamber or telescopic chamber and the buoyancy member 47. The buoyancy member 47 drives the elastic transmission device to compress or release the starting chamber or telescopic chamber (i.e., when the liquid level drops, the buoyancy member 47 sinks, and the elastic transmission device is driven to compress or release via a lever or traction device, while the elastic transmission device does not compress the starting chamber or telescopic chamber; when the liquid level rises, the buoyancy member 47 floats up, releasing and compressing the elastic transmission device or compressing the released elastic transmission device, while the elastic transmission device compresses the starting chamber or telescopic chamber). (For example: when the elastic transmission device is located below the starting chamber or telescopic chamber, when the liquid level drops, the buoyancy member should drive the (fixed at the lower end) elastic transmission device downward to compress without compressing or compressing the starting chamber or telescopic chamber slightly; when the liquid level rises, the buoyancy member floats up to release the compressed elastic transmission device and compresses or compresses the starting chamber or telescopic chamber upward; when the elastic transmission device is located above the starting chamber or telescopic chamber, when the liquid level drops, the buoyancy member should drive the (fixed at the upper end) elastic transmission device upward to compress without compressing or compressing the starting chamber or telescopic chamber slightly; when the liquid level rises...) The buoyancy component releases the compressed elastic transmission device by compressing downwards or compressing more of the starting chamber or telescopic chamber; when the elastic transmission device is located below the transmission device on the side of the buoyancy component, when the liquid level drops, the buoyancy component causes the elastic transmission device with both ends not fixed to be in a release state, stretching or stretching the transmission device without compressing or compressing the starting chamber or telescopic chamber, or causes the elastic transmission device with the lower end fixed to be in a compression state without driving or driving the transmission device without compressing or compressing the starting chamber or telescopic chamber. When the liquid level rises, the buoyancy component floats up, driving the elastic transmission device to move upwards or releasing, driving the transmission device to compress or compress more of the starting chamber or telescopic chamber, or releasing; when the elastic transmission device is located above the transmission device on the side of the buoyancy component, when the liquid level drops, the buoyancy component causes the (upper end fixed) elastic transmission device to be in a compression state without driving or driving the transmission device without compressing or compressing the starting chamber or telescopic chamber. When the liquid level rises, the buoyancy component floats up, releasing the elastic transmission device by moving downwards, driving the transmission device to compress or compress more of the starting chamber or telescopic chamber, or releasing; the elastic transmission device can also be installed using other connection methods). When one end of the elastic transmission device is fixed, a traction device should be used to bypass the reversing device (such as a fixed rod) to change the transmission direction. A liquid level sensor and control switch combination can also be installed between the starting chamber or telescopic chamber and the buoyancy component 47. The control switch will only open after the buoyancy component 47 or the liquid level rises to a certain height, at which point the buoyancy component 47 or the elastic transmission device will drive the starting chamber or telescopic chamber to compress. If the buoyancy component 47 or the liquid level is below the set height, the control switch will not open, and the buoyancy component 47 or the elastic transmission device will not drive the starting chamber or telescopic chamber to compress. The control switch can be at least one of the following: various existing clamp and latch combinations, fastening devices, traction devices and clamps or latch combinations, toggle switches, spring switches, control mechanisms, electronic switches, etc.The liquid level sensor can be at least one of the following: various existing buoyancy components (such as float valves, float blocks, etc.), pressure sensors (such as containers with built-in pressure sensors that are sealed at the top and open at the bottom and submerged in the fluid), electronic sensors, and conductive devices with both ends and disconnection points set at a set height.

[0232] Preferably, an elastic compression or traction device can be installed between the starting chamber or telescopic chamber and the auxiliary fixing structure (such as a protruding structure, a latch, a loop, or a baffle on the liquid storage device). The elastic compression or traction device is stretched or compressed in one go and then locked or fixed on the auxiliary fixing structure. The elastic compression or traction device completes the subsequent compression work of the starting chamber or telescopic chamber. The length of the elastic compression device should preferably be greater than the distance between the starting chamber or telescopic chamber and the auxiliary fixing structure; the length of the elastic traction device should preferably be less than the distance between the point of action of the starting chamber or telescopic chamber and the auxiliary fixing structure or the bypass length (the elastic traction device can bypass the reversing or guiding fixing structure (such as a crossbar, a loop, a latch, a hook, etc.) and change direction before connecting the starting chamber or telescopic chamber and the auxiliary fixing structure). The auxiliary fixing structure can also be configured to be rotatable, flip-able, or toggleable. When elastic compression or traction is required to compress the starting or telescopic cavity, the auxiliary fixing structure remains locked and does not support compression of the starting or telescopic cavity. When elastic compression or traction is not required to compress the starting or telescopic cavity, the auxiliary fixing structure remains movable and does not support compression of the starting or telescopic cavity. The modified device of the auxiliary fixing structure can be at least one of various suitable existing clamp and latch combinations, fastening devices, traction devices and clamps or latch combinations, toggle switches, spring switches, control mechanisms, etc.

[0233] The one-way transmission mechanism can be a gear mechanism with a structure (outer ring teeth or inner ring teeth) that can be opened and closed (i.e., it can be in two states: locked or unlocked (i.e., engaged or disengaged), or it can be engaged or disengaged from the transmission mechanism); it can also be a one-way transmission mechanism or clutch with a rotating structure (outer ring or inner ring) that can be opened and closed; or it can be a cross combination of a unidirectionally bendable crank (i.e., the bending part can only bend to one side (the bending part can be equipped with an elastic device that keeps the straight rod straight when unloaded and bends under force) and a stop rod that can be opened and closed, connected by a rotating shaft.

[0234] Preferably, the retractable starting chamber 49, the telescopic chamber 51, and the compression device combination can also be replaced by a weight controlled by a locking or braking device or switch that can rapidly raise the liquid level of the storage device 5. The weight can also be lifted by levers, pulleys, power and traction devices, and floats. When the liquid level of the storage device 5 reaches the set height, the locking or braking device or switch drops the weight into the fluid in the storage device 5, causing the liquid level to rise rapidly and quickly activating the compression device of the starting chamber 49 and the telescopic chamber 51, thus initiating the siphon effect. When the liquid level of the storage device 5 drops, the lifting device (such as a lever or pulley, float, or power and traction device) lifts the weight back to the high position and locks it. The telescopic chamber 51 can also be activated by electronic devices (such as electric booster, chamber compression, etc.).

[0235] Preferably, the aforementioned combination of the retractable starting chamber 49 or the telescopic chamber 51 and the compression device, the lifting and locking device or braking device or switch combination of the weight can also be used in the expansion section to quickly start the siphon effect; similarly, the starting method of the expansion section (especially the intermittent starting with an energetic fluid source) can also be used to start the siphon effect of the starting chamber 49 or the telescopic chamber 51. Example 12: Based on the aforementioned examples, a liquid storage device with a one-way valve or flow control device in the expansion chamber or liquid inlet channel, and a sealable or controllable upper opening, and whose flow rate and direction are controllable, can have its other openings or interfaces sealed or nearly sealed except for the outlet (i.e., the siphon pipe inlet). The volume or cavity is connected to a high-pressure fluid device, and the high-pressure fluid discharges the fluid in the expansion chamber or liquid storage device through the siphon pipe to generate a siphon effect. When the water level in the storage device is low, the high-pressure fluid device does not pressurize the expansion chamber to allow the liquid level in the expansion chamber to rise and store more fluid. When the water level in the storage device rises to a set height, the high-pressure fluid device pressurizes the expansion chamber with an appropriate amount of gas, the one-way valve closes, and the fluid in the expansion chamber is forced into the siphon tube, creating a siphon effect. The one-way valve then opens, and the liquid accumulated in the storage device is siphoned out through the siphon tube. The amount of gas pressurized into the expansion chamber by the high-pressure fluid device should preferably not exceed the amount of liquid stored above the outlet of the expansion chamber to prevent the pressurized gas from entering the siphon tube and disrupting the siphon effect. The high-pressure fluid device can be at least one of a fluid compression device or a fluid pressurization device.

[0236] Preferably, a float valve or liquid level sensor is installed in the expansion chamber or cavity. When the liquid level in the expansion chamber drops to the outlet (i.e., the siphon inlet), the high-pressure fluid device or the channel between the high-pressure fluid device and the expansion chamber is closed, or a control signal is sent to the control system to close the high-pressure fluid device or the channel between the high-pressure fluid device and the expansion chamber, thereby stopping the supply of air to the expansion chamber.

[0237] Example 13: Based on the aforementioned examples, a switch (or float valve or valve) that can be automatically activated (i.e., opened or closed) under the control of the control system is installed on the siphon start-up pipe or in the start-up storage device as the start-up valve. At least in the last series-connected storage device, a liquid level sensor and controller combination is installed to control the start-up valve of the siphon start-up pipe or the start-up storage device. When the liquid level of the (last) storage device reaches the height set by the liquid level sensor and controller combination, the liquid level sensor and controller combination issues a control command to open the start-up valve of the siphon start-up pipe or the start-up storage device, so that the fluid in the siphon start-up pipe or the start-up storage device quickly enters the siphon bend to generate a siphon effect. The start-up valve is opened for a certain period of time or a short period of time, which is sufficient to generate a siphon effect in the siphon bend, and then it is closed, so that the siphon bend only generates a siphon effect on the storage device after the start-up valve is closed.

[0238] Preferably, the start-up liquid storage device is made of transparent material so that the liquid storage status in the start-up liquid storage device can be observed to determine whether the siphon device is in the start-up preparation state or has been started, so that fluid can be injected in time after the water level drops.

[0239] Preferably, the start-up liquid storage device is equipped with a combination of an alert sensor and an alarm. When the fluid in the start-up liquid storage device is drained and the start-up valve is activated, the alert sensor sends a signal to cause the alarm to sound and / or light up, reminding the user to refill the start-up liquid storage device with fluid. The alarm can emit different colors or sounds depending on the depth of the accumulated liquid.

[0240] Preferably, the starting liquid storage device is connected to a tap water pipe or a storage water pipe in a water tank, and a control switch (or float valve or valve) is installed between the storage water pipe and the starting liquid storage device as a filling valve. After an appropriate amount of fluid is injected into the starting liquid storage device, the filling valve is closed, and the storage water pipe stops injecting fluid into the starting liquid storage device. A sensor and an automatic switch are installed on the liquid storage device. Before the liquid level in the liquid storage device reaches the starting liquid level, the automatic switch on the starting liquid storage device is not activated, and the starting liquid storage device does not inject fluid into the siphon bend. After the fluid in the starting liquid storage device is drained and the starting switch is closed, the control switch, float valve, or valve is opened to inject fluid into the starting liquid storage device, entering the next round of automatic siphon start-up preparation state. Alternatively, the filling valve can be installed between the siphon start-up pipe (or the expansion section, the highest point of the siphon pipe, or the pipe after the one-way valve at the inlet) and the energy storage pipe. A sensor and automatic switch are installed on the storage device. Before the liquid level in the storage device reaches the start-up level, the filling valve does not activate, and the siphon device does not start. After the liquid level in the storage device reaches the start-up level, the filling valve opens, injecting sufficient fluid into the siphon device to generate a siphon effect. Then, the filling valve closes, entering the preparation state for the next round of automatic siphon start-up. Throughout the entire cycle of start-up, the filling valve and the start-up valve must strictly adhere to the rule that the start-up valve can only open after the filling valve is closed, and vice versa. The opening and closing of each filling valve and the start-up valve can be controlled intermittently by an automatic control device, or in real-time by a sensor device, or manually.

[0241] Preferably, the space before the start valve of the start pipe or start liquid storage device is made into a sealable positive pressure space (i.e., greater than atmospheric pressure). After the start valve is opened, the positive pressure automatically injects fluid into the siphon device. After the fluid in the sealed space is drained (either before or immediately after draining), a negative pressure is generated, activating the siphon device. At this time, the sealed space should be filled with a portion of fluid and gas that expands (i.e., the volume after negative pressure is no greater than the volume of the sealed space). Alternatively, the start pipe or start liquid storage device is made into a sealable negative pressure space (i.e., less than atmospheric pressure). After the start switch is turned on, the fluid in the negative pressure space is automatically injected into the siphon device. When the fluid in the negative pressure space is drained (either before or immediately after draining), the start switch of the start pipe or start liquid storage device is turned off, activating the siphon effect.

[0242] Preferably, the inlet closing valve (including a float valve, flexible closing valve, or pipe) of the liquid storage device is connected to the vertically movable expansion section (or suspended liquid storage device) via a traction device and a suspension rod. During the period when water is stored in the expansion section (or suspended liquid storage device), the increased weight of the expansion section (or suspended liquid storage device) suspends the inlet closing valve, preventing its activation (i.e., it opens). After the expansion section (or suspended liquid storage device) is emptied or the siphon effect stops, the weight decreases, releasing the suspended inlet closing valve, thus activating the valve and allowing water to enter. A siphon bend can be installed in the upper part of the suspended liquid storage device to drain the accumulated liquid, or a small drain outlet or pipe can be installed at the bottom, with a larger drain outlet or pipe in the middle and upper parts.

[0243] Preferably, the various switches, float valves, or valves can be electronically controlled electronic switches, float valves, or valves, or relay-controlled switches, float valves, or valves, or electronically driven switches, float valves, or valves.

[0244] Preferably, an alarm device is installed in the siphon device to detect overdue or prolonged inactivity. When the siphon device fails to activate within the set time, i.e., fails to generate a siphon effect, the alarm device sounds to alert the owner or staff to check whether the siphon device's activation mechanism is blocked or leaking. The alarm device can be a water level sensor-controlled alarm device (electronic, mechanical, etc.), or a combination of other suitable sensors and alarm devices.

[0245] Example 14: Based on the aforementioned examples, this example involves installing two or more siphon devices, and / or combinations of liquid level sensors and controllers at different heights, and / or siphon activation pipes or activating the liquid storage device in the storage unit. When the water level in the storage unit reaches the low-level liquid level sensor and the low-level liquid level sensor and controller combination activates the first set of siphon bends, the liquid level in the storage unit continues to rise and reaches the set height of the higher-level liquid level sensor and controller combination. The higher-level liquid level sensor and controller combination then activates the siphon effect of the second set of secondary siphon bends, accelerating the discharge of fluid from the storage unit 5. This process continues until the liquid level reaches the set height of the higher-level liquid level sensor and controller combination, at which point the siphon device controlled by the higher-level sensor is activated.

[0246] Example 15: Combination Figure 25 Based on the aforementioned embodiments, it directly connects the starter pipe 8 to the energy storage water pipe 22 via the starter valve 26. When the siphon device needs to be started, the starter valve 26 can be opened for a certain period of time via electronic control or manually and then closed.

[0247] Preferably, it is a mechanical or electronic start or drive valve that sets the start valve to open for a certain period of time and then close, or a mechanical timed drive device that uses hydraulic or electric power to drive the start valve to open or close the start valve or the filling valve in a timely manner, or to replenish the energy or power lost during operation of the mechanical timed drive device, so that the siphon device can start intermittently and automatically.

[0248] Preferably, the starting pipe is directly connected to the elevated washbasin, so that the siphon device is activated every time the drain is drained. Alternatively, a metering device can be installed to obtain a certain amount of fluid to activate the siphon bend each time the sewer is drained; or the starting pipe can be connected to a (suspended) submersible trap in the sewer, with the water in the submersible trap activating the siphon device. The outlet of the metering device, submersible trap, or starting pipe can be disassembled to allow for cleaning of the starting pipe, or a filter screen can be installed at the inlet of the starting pipe to prevent foreign objects from entering and clogging it.

[0249] Preferred, combined Figure 18 It involves installing a flow regulating valve or device 26, or a small or blocked pipe diameter, at the tee interface 24 of the three-way pipe 25 between the start-up pipe and the energy storage water pipe or at the connection between the start-up pipe and the siphon pipe to adjust the flow rate or flow of fluid entering the start-up pipe (and make the flow rate of fluid entering the start-up pipe less than the discharge or flow rate after the siphon pipe generates a siphon effect), so that the siphon device starts intermittently in a regular manner; or adjusting the flow rate of the start-up pipe 8 according to the size of the work task, thereby changing the start-up frequency of the siphon device.

[0250] Combination Figure 19 The flow regulating valve can be a combination of a valve body 27 with a small diameter 28 and a nut 29 in the pipe cross section and a valve body 34 with a screw hole 33 and a cone 30 and a small through hole 31 in the pipe cross section. A sealing gasket 32 ​​is provided between the cross sections of the valve body 27 and the valve body 34 to seal the interface of the tightly connected combined valve body. The front end of the cone 30 can enter the diameter 28, while the root end cannot enter the diameter 28. The flow rate of the combined valve body can be adjusted by adjusting the tightness between the valve body 27 and the valve body 34.

[0251] Preferably, the starting valve 26 (wrench) can also be controlled by the buoyancy device in the liquid storage device 5. When the liquid level in the liquid storage device 5 rises to the set height, the buoyancy device does not exert gravity on the starting valve 26, and the starting valve 26 opens. When the liquid level in the liquid storage device 5 drops to the set height, the buoyancy device exerts gravity on the starting valve 26, and the starting valve 26 closes.

[0252] Preferably, when the starting valve 26 opens and can directly cause the starting siphon bend 4 to produce a siphon effect (especially when high-speed fluid produces a siphon effect on the pipe before the connection between the starting pipe 8 and the siphon bend 4), a check valve may not be provided at the inlet of the starting siphon bend 4; when the starting valve 26 opens but cannot directly cause the starting siphon bend 4 to produce a siphon effect or even inject fluid into the liquid storage device 5, a check valve should be provided at the inlet of the starting siphon bend 4 to prevent backflow of fluid in the fluid starting pipe 8.

[0253] Example 16: Based on the aforementioned examples, a valve (preferably a one-way valve) is installed at the outlet end of the siphon device. A negative pressure starting device (such as a hollow tube or hollow cavity) is installed at the drain end before the outlet valve, near the outlet end, or at a position lower than the inlet liquid level after the highest position of the siphon device. When activating the siphon device, (with the outlet valve closed) a suction device, manual suction, or increasing the volume of the sealed negative pressure starting device to reduce the pressure in the negative pressure starting device allows the siphon device to draw in fluid and make the fluid at the outlet end lower than the inlet liquid level, thus generating a siphon effect. (When drainage is needed, the outlet valve is opened). At this time, the negative pressure starting device can be connected to the siphon device via a connecting pipe and can be extended upwards above the liquid storage device. During manual suction, the negative pressure starting device, i.e., the hollow tube, can be a transparent tube for easy observation and to prevent fluid from being inhaled into the mouth.

[0254] Preferably, a one-way valve is installed at the inlet (and outlet) of the siphon device, and the negative pressure device that can expand and contract is connected to the pipeline after the one-way valve at the inlet of the siphon device. The negative pressure device can be started intermittently by manual or electronic control.

[0255] Preferably, the expansion section and the negative pressure starting device can be combined into a single negative pressure starting device, which can be positioned above the liquid storage device for easy maintenance or manual activation. In this case, the combined negative pressure starting device can be automatically controlled by an automatic control system or manually activated to start the siphon device. The expansion section of the combined negative pressure starting device can be a fluid telescopic cylinder or piston whose valve body automatically slides downwards and contracts under gravity. When it extends upwards to generate negative pressure, it draws out the water accumulated in the liquid storage device, creating a siphon effect. After release, the telescopic cylinder or piston slides down and contracts, preparing for the next extension and contraction, i.e., negative pressure start. Alternatively, small holes can be provided in the upper part of the expansion section so that expansion does not affect the negative pressure effect of the negative pressure starting device, and release allows the air inside the expansion section to be slowly discharged, preparing for the next extension and contraction, i.e., negative pressure start.

[0256] Example 17: Based on the aforementioned examples, a one-way flow limiting device such as a fluid check valve or membrane is installed at or after the inlet of the first-stage siphon bend to prevent the fluid in the starting pipe from flowing back into the storage device 5. Alternatively, the connection interface between the starting pipe and the first-stage siphon bend can be located after the one-way flow limiting device, making the connection of the starting pipe more convenient.

[0257] Example 18: Based on the aforementioned examples, at least in the final liquid storage device, a liquid level alarm sensor, switch, or sensor is installed and connected to the alarm. The sensing position of the liquid level alarm sensor should be lower than the tank opening of the liquid storage device, i.e., the highest water storage level. When the siphon bend cannot automatically generate a siphon effect and the water in the liquid storage device continues to rise to the position of the liquid level alarm sensor, the liquid level alarm sensor sends an alarm signal to activate the alarm device to continuously or intermittently sound an alarm, prompting the owner to manually activate the siphon device in time. The owner can turn off the alarm device after manually activating the siphon device or after receiving the alarm.

[0258] Preferably, two or more alarm devices and / or (instantaneous) pumping devices can be installed in the system to ensure that if one system fails, the other system can still start and alarm normally, and / or pump water, thus improving system reliability. A battery level alarm system can also be installed in the system; when the battery level is low, the system will issue an alarm to prompt battery replacement.

[0259] Preferably, buoys can be installed in the liquid storage device or in the liquid accumulation area. The degree to which the buoy rises indicates or informs the owner of the water depth, and a siphon drainage system can be activated in real time to drain the liquid. Different colors can also be applied to different heights of the buoy to clearly indicate the liquid depth to the owner. Alternatively, different lengths of the buoy extending from the ground or pipe opening, or different lights emitted by the liquid level alarm sensor after detecting different depths of liquid accumulation, can also clearly inform the owner of the liquid depth.

[0260] Example 19: Based on the aforementioned examples, two sets of start-up pipes 8 are connected in parallel. One set is connected to the energy storage water pipe with a valve of adjustable flow rate for regular timed or intermittent start-up. The other set is connected to the energy storage water pipe with a high-speed valve (i.e., a valve with a large flow rate) controlled by a liquid level sensor or a control system with a liquid level sensor (electronic or mechanical). When the siphon device, which is intermittently activated by the adjustable valve, cannot meet the drainage requirements (i.e., the accumulated liquid cannot be discharged quickly under the control of the adjustable valve, meaning the flow rate of the accumulated water is less than the siphon drainage speed), and the liquid level in the storage device rises to the limit position, the level sensor directly opens the high-speed valve, or transmits a signal to the control system, which then issues a command to open the high-speed valve. This allows water to quickly enter the starting device (such as the expansion section 2, the upper and lower bends, or the siphon pipe after the check valve) through the starting pipe. After an appropriate time, the starting device is filled with fluid, and the siphon pipe behind it generates a siphon effect, or the water column in the siphon pipe after the check valve is lower than the liquid level or bottom of the storage device 5, and then the high-speed valve is closed, activating the siphon effect for rapid drainage. Normally, when the liquid level in the storage device does not exceed the limit, the high-speed valve is closed. The level sensor can be a closed valve (including a float valve, a flexible closed valve, or a pipe), or various electronic sensors.

[0261] Example 20: Combination Figure 27 Based on the aforementioned embodiments, a block or cavity 40 (fixed or limited in floating, i.e., unable to float excessively) is set in the cavity at the connection between the expansion section 2 and the secondary siphon bend 1 to reduce the volume or space of the expansion section at the highest point of the secondary siphon bend 1. This allows the fluid entering the expansion section 2 to rise rapidly and start the siphon effect when it approaches or reaches the highest position of the secondary siphon bend 1, preventing the siphon effect from being unable to start when the flow rate of the starting pipe 8 is too low.

[0262] Preferred, combined Figure 28 It consists of a quick-start reservoir 41 with a drain port installed inside or on the expansion section 2. When the fluid in the expansion section 2 rises to near or reach the highest position of the secondary siphon bend 1, the float valve 42 of the drain port of the quick-start reservoir 41 opens, causing the liquid level in the expansion section 2 to rise rapidly and quickly initiate the siphon effect. The quick-start reservoir 41 can be installed outside the expansion section 2 and connected to it. The quick-start reservoir 41 can also be controlled by a control valve outside the expansion section 2, especially a liquid level sensor or switch in the liquid storage device 5. When the liquid level in the liquid storage device 5 rises to the set position, the quick-start reservoir 41 opens, activating the siphon device.

[0263] Preferred, combined Figure 29It is a sealed arrangement on the upper part of the start-up liquid storage device 11 or quick-start liquid storage tank 41 with a drain port, and a control pipe 43 is connected to the start-up liquid storage device 11 or quick-start liquid storage tank 41 as an air inlet or pipe. A float valve 42 is set in the liquid storage device 5 or the expansion part 2, which can open the control pipe 43 (valve 12) in time when the liquid level rises. After the control pipe 43 is opened, air can freely enter the start-up liquid storage device 11 or quick-start liquid storage tank 41 through the control pipe 43, and quickly start the siphon effect.

[0264] Example 21: It involves installing a buoyancy switch (electronic or mechanical, controlled by a buoyancy element, such as a gravity switch (preferably with an elastic device) controlled by a buoyancy element on the starting pipe 8 and / or connecting pipe of the starting liquid storage device 11, or / and the quick-start liquid storage device 41, or / and the expansion section 2). When the liquid level in the storage device 5 and / or the expansion section 2 rises to a certain position, it generates buoyancy on the buoyancy element suspended therein, reducing the control force on the buoyancy switch, opening the clamping or pressing switch, or connecting the circuit to open the electronic valve, starting the fluid in the storage device or quick-start liquid storage device to flow downwards quickly, or opening the switch connecting to the energy storage fluid source to initiate a siphon effect; when the liquid level in the storage device or the expansion section drops to a certain position, the buoyancy of the suspended buoyancy element decreases and the gravity increases, closing the clamping or pressing switch, or disconnecting the circuit to close the electronic valve, preventing the fluid in the storage device or quick-start liquid storage device from flowing downwards, or closing the switch connecting to the energy storage fluid source. The buoyancy switch should ideally be automatically opened by an elastic device, and the buoyancy component should ideally control the buoyancy switch directly, or by turning or bending, through a lever amplification effect. Similarly, the buoyancy component can also be a float valve; only the corresponding transmission and / or connection and / or control methods need to be appropriately adjusted. In this case, the flow rate of the buoyancy switch should ideally be less than the displacement of the siphon device; that is, even when the buoyancy switch is fully open, it can only activate the siphon device, which still does not meet the siphon device's displacement requirement. The upper part of the liquid storage device or quick-opening liquid storage tank can be in an open state and can be connected to a high-pressure or powered fluid source (such as tap water) via a pipeline controlled by the float valve.

[0265] Preferably, a float can be installed in the liquid storage device 5 to control the opening and closing of the valve of the starting device (such as the discharge of accumulator fluid). When the liquid level in the liquid storage device 5 is low, the float descends and rotates or presses the valve switch to close the valve, preventing the accumulator fluid from entering the starting device. When the liquid level in the liquid storage device 5 rises to a certain height, the float releases the valve switch to open the valve, allowing the accumulator fluid to enter the starting device. At this time, the valve switch should preferably be equipped with an elastic device so that it can open actively when there is no force and close when there is force. The valve can also be a rotary or push-button switch.

[0266] Preferably, based on the aforementioned embodiments, an energy storage device (such as a closing spring, compression chamber, or suspension weight with locking device) is installed between the float valve and the quick-start device (such as a quick-start liquid reservoir). When the liquid level in the liquid reservoir drops, the (primary or secondary) float valve sinks, driving the energy storage device to store energy. After the liquid level in the liquid reservoir rises to a set position, i.e., a height, the (secondary or minor) control float valve or liquid level sensor releases the energy storage device, which then drives the quick-start device or telescopic chamber to quickly start the siphon device to drain the liquid. In this case, the energy storage device can also be replaced by a lever, with the lever's movement transmitting the force of the float valve to the quick-start device or telescopic chamber; alternatively, a lever can be installed after the energy storage device, with the energy storage device driving the lever's movement to transmit the force of the float valve to the quick-start device or telescopic chamber.

[0267] Preferably, a timing device (such as a timer switch or valve) can be installed between the starting liquid storage device or energy storage fluid source and the starting device (such as the starting pipe, expansion section, siphon pipe after the one-way valve, etc.). The timer device opens the valve at regular intervals to inject the required flow rate into the siphon device and then closes it. The timing or interval of the timer device should be adjustable and can be controlled by electronic or mechanical devices. A metering liquid storage device can also be installed between the starting liquid storage device or energy storage fluid source and the starting device. This metering liquid storage device discharges a metered amount of the required flow rate into the siphon device to start it. The metering liquid storage device should preferably be equipped with a sequence switch so that when the metering liquid storage device discharges fluid into the siphon device, the starting liquid storage device or energy storage fluid source does not inject fluid into the metering liquid storage device; only after the metering liquid storage device has finished discharging fluid into the siphon device does the starting liquid storage device or energy storage fluid source inject fluid into the metering liquid storage device.

[0268] Preferably, the liquid storage device can be directly set to be liftable. When siphon drainage is required, the liquid storage device is placed into the liquid storage device or the fluid in the liquid accumulation area. After the liquid storage device is filled with an appropriate amount of fluid, it is lifted to a suitable height to start the siphon device.

[0269] Preferably, a traction device (such as a rope or chain) is used to connect the float to a control device (such as a valve switch or / and an energy storage device or / and a buoyancy switch or other starting device), enabling a flexible connection between the float and the control device. A guide device (such as a shaft or / and a fixed pulley) can also be installed along the movement path of the traction device to change the movement and / or transmission direction of the traction device, facilitating the installation of the aforementioned control device in confined spaces.

[0270] This application can also be used in drainage-type waterproofing systems prone to water accumulation. It is particularly suitable for siphon drainage in areas prone to water accumulation (such as roofs and low-lying areas) where drainage is poor due to depressions and elevation differences, and where direct drainage from the bottom of the depression is inconvenient. It is especially suitable for siphon drainage of leaking fluid collected or gathered at the bottom or lower level of the water accumulation area after prefabricated waterproofing (i.e., leakage fluid drainage-type waterproofing). In this case, the siphon activation device can be installed anywhere above, to the side, below the side, at a low level, or below the drain outlet of the water accumulation area to achieve remote siphon drainage, expelling water from the side of the water accumulation area. When the siphon activation device is installed below the side of the water accumulation area or below the drain outlet, the fluid overflowing or draining from the water accumulation area can be directly introduced into the activation device to start the siphon.

[0271] In summary, the purpose of this invention is to ensure that the water column after the highest position in the (primary or secondary) siphon bend flows forward or downward in a full-pipe state, that is, to ensure that the speed at which the water column flows downward or backward or forward in the siphon bend after the highest position in the primary or secondary siphon bend is not less than the speed at which the water column is immersed downward or backward in the pipe.

[0272] Preferably, the liquid storage device under the entire waterproof area is set as a whole, so that all the interfaces of the waterproof structure above are in the liquid storage device. Even if the leakage water can all enter the liquid storage device, the difficulty of waterproof construction above the liquid storage device is reduced, and the accumulated liquid in the liquid storage device can be siphoned out directly by the aforementioned siphon device in a timely or periodic manner.

[0273] Preferably, two or more separate liquid storage devices are installed below the waterproof area. This allows the liquid storage devices to avoid sewer pipes or obstacles. A downward-opening V-shaped, U-shaped, or other type of waterproof cover is used to cover the gap between the side walls of adjacent liquid storage devices, preventing seepage water from above from entering the gap between the two liquid storage devices. (When the gap between the liquid storage devices is large, causing the top of the V-shaped, U-shaped, or other type of cover to easily dent, a support or coagulant can be filled into the gap between the liquid storage devices to support the V-shaped, U-shaped, or other type of cover). Alternatively, waterproof material with hydrophilic drainage components can be used to drain and waterproof the gap between two adjacent liquid storage devices. The hydrophilic drainage components guide the seepage water from the gap into the liquid storage devices, reducing the difficulty of waterproofing construction when obstacles pass through the liquid storage devices. The bottoms of each liquid storage device should preferably be connected by pipes so that the accumulated liquid in each liquid storage device can simultaneously or quickly enter the liquid storage device equipped with a siphon device for siphon discharge. Alternatively, the siphon device of this application can be installed in each liquid storage device.

[0274] Preferably, the liquid storage device is inclined as a whole, or the supporting surfaces of multiple liquid storage devices are inclined as a whole, and the inlet of the siphon device is located at the lowest point of the liquid storage device so that all or as much of the accumulated liquid can be discharged. Alternatively, a drain pipe or transition liquid storage device with its bottom or lowest point lower than the bottom of the liquid storage device can be provided, and the inlet of the siphon device can be located in the drain pipe or transition liquid storage device below the bottom of the liquid storage device.

[0275] This implementation scheme can be used in all suitable applications other than building waterproofing; it is also applicable to the siphoning, rapid drainage, or extraction of various fluids. It can automatically bypass a high position and generate a rapid siphoning effect without external mechanical power, or it can be used to quickly and / or continuously flow upwards to a high position or generate a siphoning effect through manual (or single-time, non-repeated) compression of the (integrated) expansion chamber 51 connected to the pipe with a one-way valve (the expansion chamber in the combination of the starting chamber and the expansion chamber) to a controlled volume.

[0276] Preferably, the liquid storage device 5 of this application can also be a liquid accumulation area, or the liquid accumulation area of ​​the liquid storage device 5 can be collectively referred to as liquid accumulation.

[0277] In this invention, the non-wetting (flowing) surface is a hydrophobic surface, or a hydrophilic or neutral surface without surface wetting, but a hydrophobic surface is preferred; the non-wetting (flowing) component is a hydrophobic material, or a hydrophilic or neutral material without surface wetting, but a hydrophobic material is preferred. Examples of non-wetting components include non-wetting sheets, non-wetting layers, non-wetting films, non-wetting strips, non-wetting blocks, non-wetting powders, or particles.

[0278] In this invention, hydrophilic (immersion) refers to a hydrophilic surface that has surface wetting, adsorption and siphoning effects; hydrophilic materials, hydrophilic drainage strips, hydrophilic drainage surfaces, hydrophilic drainage strips, hydrophilic drainage layers, hydrophilic drainage blocks, hydrophilic drainage sheets and other hydrophilic drainage components are preferably hydrophilic materials that have surface wetting, adsorption and siphoning effects.
