Definitions

  • the invention relates to a duct element, a drain pipe emptying system and method for temporarily disconnecting an outlet pipe of a building from a sewer main.
  • WO2011/010915A1 discloses a collecting watertight bottom section to be placed under the drainpipe.
  • the watertight bottom section functions as a collecting container after a clogged drainpipe has been drilled through, into which the contaminated drainage water running from the drainpipe can flow without contaminating the surrounding area or the soil. The soil remains dry, it is not contaminated and the environment is thus burdened less.
  • a top section can be place on top of the collecting section, and the contaminated drainage water can be pumped from the collecting section into a temporary or non-temporary facility.
  • the collecting watertight bottom section and top section could be used for temporarily disconnecting an outlet pipe of a building from a sewer main.
  • the bottom section should be installed stable with respect to the existing drainpipe to provide a watertight coupling.
  • the bottom section and top section could sink in the soil due to its weight inclusive the collected sewage water. This could result in damage of the drainpipe which has to carry part of the weight.
  • the sewer main could be used again, the drainpipe which is partially removed somewhere in the bottom section, has to be repaired. At this moment, a person has to work in the bottom section and there is a risk that he will become in contact with the sewerage water in the bottom section. After the pipe has been repaired, the bottom section has to be removed, which could be time consuming.
  • US2012/0097263A1 which is regarded as closest prior art for claims 1, 12, 13 and 14, discloses a method and apparatus for isolating a section of a sewer line.
  • a chamber is provided that extends into the ground and intersects a sewer pipe. Thereafter, the fluid in the sewer pipe is exposed to an interior of the chamber and a dam is placed in the chamber to isolate an upstream portion ot the chamber from a downstream portion.
  • at least one pump is used to control the fluid level in the upstream portion by transferring the fluid from the chamber to a predetermined remote location.
  • a duct element having the features of claim 1.
  • Advantageous embodiments and further ways of carrying out the invention may be attained by the measures mentioned in the dependent claims.
  • a duct element for use in a sewage system comprises an inlet structure, an outlet structure and an intermediate structure.
  • the inlet structure is configured to couple the duct element with a first drainpipe of the sewage system.
  • the outlet structure is configured to couple the duct element with a second drainpipe of a sewage system.
  • the intermediate structure forms a duct between the inlet structure and the outlet structure, wherein the intermediate structure comprises an opening to provide access to the inlet structure and outlet structure.
  • the intermediate structure comprises a space which enables the duct element to collect a minimum amount of sewage before sewage is collected in the inlet structure. The minimum amount enables a pumping device to drain sewage from the space and the sewage collected in the inlet structure.
  • the space comprises a flat bottom in a plane.
  • the inlet structure forms a duct having an upper side which in longitudinal direction of the duct is essentially parallel to the plane of the flat bottom
  • the invention is based on the concept that the possibility to lose sewerage from the sewer system is reduced significantly when the outlet pipe of a building is permanently provided with a construction which could be used to store a minimum amount of sewerage such that a pump could fully discharge the drainpipe upstream the structure, i.e. in the direction of the sewage source, when said drainpipe is at least partially filled with sewerage water. In this way, there is no need to truncate the drainpipe or to make holes in the drainpipe, which have to be repaired after the sewer main could be used again. Normally, a drainpipe runs gradually downward so that no sewer water is collected in the pipe. A pump needs a minimum amount of water or water height to discharge the water present in a space.
  • the duct element described above provides a structure which enables a pump to empty a drainpipe upstream the duct element. Even when the drainpipe is at least half filled with sewerage water a flow could be generated which completely discharges the drainpipe upstream the duct element. In this way, despite that sewerage is temporarily collected in the drainpipe, no waste is accumulated at the bottom of the drainpipe.
  • the drainpipe upstream the duct element could be used as buffer to collect sewage water.
  • the buffering capacity is a multitude of the buffering capacity of the intermediate structure. As a result of this, the number of times the pump has to be switch on could be relatively low.
  • upstream and downstream relate to an arrangement of items or features relative to the propagation of fluid through the system.. It is obvious that in the context of the present application "watertight" closed also means that the opening is air-tight sealed.
  • EP1925756A1 discloses a peephole.
  • the peephole does not comprise the necessary space between the inlet structure and the outlet structure to collect the minimum amount of sewage to enable a pump to fully discharge the drainpipe upstream the structure.
  • EP1260641A1 discloses a structure which is suitable to collect the minimum amount of waste water, whereby waste water will accumulate to a level which is below the flow profile of the upstream drainpipe.
  • Another advantage of the duct element is that it could be used to replace the commonly known access pipe part.
  • An access pipe part enables one to inspect the drainpipe and could be used to unclog or clean the drainpipe.
  • the inlet structure of the duct element has a flow profile and a substantially flat wall of the intermediate structure forming a bottom of the space is at least 5 cm lowered with respect to the flow profile of the inlet structure.
  • the minimum depth of the bottom of the space relative to the flow profile of the inlet structure depends on the type of pump used to discharge the space. If there is not enough depth, the pump will suck air before the inlet structure is emptied, as a result of this the pump loses its pumping capacity and consequently solid particles in the sewage water could accumulate at the bottom of the upstream drainpipe. It has been found that for a commercially available submersible pump with crushing system a depth of 8 cm is sufficient to discharge the inlet structure and drainpipe coupled to the inlet structure.
  • the outlet structure of the duct element comprises a flow profile which is aligned with the profile of the inlet structure.
  • the intermediate structure is further configured to receive a detachable flow profile part which profile part provides the duct element a continuous flow profile from the inlet structure to the outlet structure.
  • the inlet structure and the outlet structure have a duct diameter and the duct of the intermediate structure has a length which is longer than the duct diameter of the inlet structure. This features provides a space which is sufficient large to collect waste water and to pump the waste water out of the intermediate structure.
  • the inlet structure and the outlet structure have a duct diameter in the range 100 - 250 mm.
  • the minimum amount of sewage has a depth which is sufficient for a submersible pump to operate.
  • a drain pipe emptying system for temporarily disconnecting an outlet pipe of a building from a sewer main.
  • the system comprising a duct element according to the first aspect and a top section which closes watertight the opening of the intermediate structure of the duct element.
  • the top section comprises a submersible pump, one or more sensor generating signals enabling a controller to control the submersible pump and a coupling structure to couple a discharge duct to the submersible pump.
  • the system provides a compact and easy to install system to disconnect an outlet pipe of a building temporarily from a sewer main.
  • An advantage of a detachable top section is that the top section could be reused. After detaching the top section, the opening of the duct element could easily be closed with a lid.
  • the top section further comprises a valve construction configured to prevent sewer in the intermediate structure to enter the outlet structure.
  • the top section and the intermediate structure of the duct part form a chamber wherein the submersible pump and one or more sensors are located.
  • the top section further comprises a flushing device configured for cleaning the chamber.
  • the submersible pump comprises a crushing system. This feature allows us to use a submersible pump with a smaller size and consequently to reduce the dimensions of the duct element and top section. As a result, less soil has to be removed to place the duct element.
  • the controller is integrated in the top section. This feature provides a system which is easy to install as the system has only be connected to a power supply and a duct to drain the waste water pumped out of the duct element.
