Abstract
Description
[0001] A Vertical Siphon
[0002] Technical Field
[0003] The invention relates to vertical siphons used in water drains which are used in wet areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, terraces, balconies, gardens, etc., and which convey the water to be discharged to the sewerage system.
[0004] Prior Art
[0005] Siphon is a device consisting of a curved pipe, usually in the form of the letter U or S, which is installed under plumbing materials such as sinks and toilet bowls. Siphons prevent the spread of bad odours and gases in sewage and dirty water installations to the indoor environment by closing the pipe of the water remaining in it.
[0006] A siphon system is mentioned in the national patent document coded 2021 / 011292 in the prior art. In the mentioned siphon system, the water is filled into the reservoir without using a floater / float system, and the reservoir is reduced by supplying some of the water to be poured into the toilet / toilet bowl from the reservoir and some of it directly from the network. The siphon in the document in question cannot be installed on a central axis in the application area. The European patent document EP2464794A2 in the prior art refers to a sanitary siphon. Said siphon has an inlet segment formed with an inlet end pair suitable for sanitary installation, an outlet segment formed with an outlet end pair connectable to a sewerage network and an intermediate trap section. It generally consists of an S-like shaped tube. The inlet segment and the outlet segment run substantially parallel to each other. The siphon in question cannot be installed on a central axis in the application area. In addition, very large diameters are required if the capacity is to be increased. In other words, it has to be mounted further away from the centre axis. This causes the siphon to have an asymmetrical structure.
[0007] Purpose of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of the invention is to provide an easy-to-install siphon having inlet and outlet positioned on the same central axis.
[0009] Another purpose of the invention is to provide a siphon that can be used in smaller areas.
[0010] Another purpose of the invention is to provide a siphon for changing the water accumulated in the s-like structure with a smaller amount of water.
[0011] The vertical siphon developed to fulfil the aforementioned purposes includes an inlet (11) and outlet (12) positioned on the central axis (CA) to ensure easy and symmetrical installation of the vertical siphon (10) in any application area, and an s-like structure (14) positioned on the central axis (CA) with at least two partitions (13) that prevent direct connection of the inlet (11) to the installation in order to prevent odours and gases from the installation.

[0038] Detailed Explanation of Invention
[0039] The invention relates to vertical siphons (10) used in water drains which are used in wet areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, terraces, balconies, gardens, etc., and which convey the water to be discharged to the sewerage system.
[0040] The inventive vertical siphon (10) has a water inlet (11) and a water outlet (12). Between said water inlet (11) and said water outlet (12) is an S-like structure (14). The S-like structure (14) prevents the spread of bad odours and gases from sewage and dirty water installations into the indoor environment by closing the pipe (S). The mounting pipe (20) is fixed on the water inlet (11). In the S-like structure (14), there are partitions (13) to prevent odours and gases coming from the installation. The partitions (13) prevent the direct connection of the vertical siphon (10) to the installation. Thus, it is ensured that the accumulated water (W) remains in the S-like structure (14).
[0041] In the inventive vertical siphon (10), the inlet (11) and outlet (12) are positioned on the same central axis (CA) as the S-like structure (14). In this way, the vertical siphon (10) can be positioned symmetrically in the application area. In addition, the used water is transferred to the installation at a minimum distance without much circulation. There are recesses (15) on the side edges (16) of the vertical siphon (10). The recesses (15) are formed by pressing the side edges (16) of the vertical siphon (10) inwards as far as the scanned part (30). These recesses (15) ensure that the water coming from the inlet (11) is directed to the centre of the pipe. In addition, the recesses (15) ensure that there is less accumulated water (S) in the S-like structure (14). Due to less accumulated water (S) in the S-like structure (14), the waiting water inside can be cleaned with less water. In addition, since the area inside the S-like structure (14) is partially narrowed, the flow rate of the water increases. In addition, thanks to the recesses (15), the mounting diameter of the application area in which the vertical siphon (10) is to be mounted is reduced. Namely, the mounting diameter of the vertical siphon (10) with the recesses (15) is “Q2” while without the recesses it is “QI”. As shown in Figure-8, the diameter “Q2” is smaller than “QI”. In this way, it is ensured that the hole to be drilled for the installation of the vertical siphon (10) has a smaller diameter. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, there are four recesses (15) on the vertical siphon (10). In alternative embodiments of the invention, the number and position of the recesses (15) may vary.
[0042] The distance between the centre axis (CA) and the right and left side edges (16) is “t”. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, “t” is 45 millimetres. In alternative embodiments of the invention, the distance “t” may vary from 20 millimetres to 200 millimetres.
[0043] In the cross-sectional view of the inventive vertical siphon (10), the inlet (11) and outlet (12) have a dimension “k”. The “k” dimension has a dimension in the range of 25 to 150 millimetres. In preferred embodiments of the invention, it has a dimension in the range of 45-55 millimetres. When the same pipe comes into the S-like structure (14), i.e. the first section (14.1), the second part (14.2) and the third part (14.3), it has a width “I” in the longitudinal section view. The dimension “I” is in the range of 8 to 100 millimetres. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, it is 29 millimetres.
[0044] In the centre section view of the first part (14.1), second part (14.2) and third part (14.3), the length is “m”. The mentioned “I” and “m” dimensions are shown on figure-8. Although the first part (14.1), the second part (14.2) and the third part (14.3) are narrower in width, they have a larger dimension compared to the inlet (11). That is, the “m” dimension is greater than the “k” dimension. This allows water (w) to be directed to the outlet (12) without reducing the total area of the inlet (11). The size “m ” is in the range of 30 to 150 millimetres. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the “m” is in the range of 75 to 100 millimetres.
[0045] The first part (14.1), the second part (14.2) and the third part (14.3) generally have a flattened elliptical appearance from the sides. With the flattened elliptical appearance, the width of the vertical siphon (10) has been reduced and the length width has been increased. In this way, the inlet (11) area was tried to be protected. By protecting the inlet (11) area, the flow rate of the water is prevented from decreasing. Water (s) accumulates in the first part (14.1) and second part (14.2) in the s-like structure (14) and forms a water curtain in the vertical siphon (10). With the water (w) curtain formed, bad odour and insects are prevented from coming from the installation.
[0046] A vertical siphon used in water drains used in areas with wet floors such as kitchen, bathroom, toilet, terrace, balcony, garden, which allows the water to be discharged to be transmitted to the sewerage and characterised in that;
[0047] - inlet (11) and outlet (12) positioned on the centre axis (CA) to allow easy and symmetrical installation of the vertical siphon (10) in any application area,
[0048] - s-like structure (14) with at least two partitions (13) and positioned on the central axis (ME), which prevents direct connection of the inlet (11) to the installation in order to prevent odours and gases coming from the installation.
