Sealed Flush Transfer Tube for Leak-Free Pipeline Drainage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for transferring rinsing solutions from pipelines into drainage devices are inefficient, leading to uncontrolled leakage and potential health hazards from gaseous components, and can cause staining due to bleaching effects, especially when using chlorine dioxide solutions.
Innovation Solution
A fluid transfer device with a tubular core element and film tube, featuring a sealing member to prevent leakage, allows for controlled transfer of rinsing solutions from pipelines into drainage devices, reducing equipment outlay and minimizing exposure to harmful gases or stains.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a simple open connection is used between pipeline and drainage device, then equipment outlay is reduced, but uncontrolled leakage of rinsing solution occurs and health hazards arise from gaseous components
Solution Approach 1:
The core element is inserted into the drainage device, and the film tube is inserted into the core element, creating a nested structure that guides the rinsing solution directly from the pipeline through the core element to the drainage device, preventing uncontrolled leakage and exposure to harmful gases
Solution Approach 2:
The core element acts as an intermediary component between the pipeline and drainage device, providing a controlled transfer path for the rinsing solution. The sealing member at the first end of the core element ensures proper sealing between this intermediary component and the drainage device
2Device complexity
If rinsing solution is transferred without proper sealing, then equipment complexity is reduced, but staining occurs due to bleaching effects
Solution Approach 1:
The harmful bleaching effect is eliminated by extracting the rinsing solution directly into the drainage device through the sealed core element, preventing contact between the rinsing solution and surfaces that could be stained
3Productivity
If air is intentionally added to increase cleaning performance, then cleaning effectiveness is improved, but air expansion causes splashing and potential leakage
Solution Approach 1:
The nested structure of the film tube within the core element, both inserted into the drainage device, contains the rinsing solution and any air bubbles within the sealed system, preventing splashing when air expands during the flushing process
