Description

DESCRIPTION

DOUBLE WAY SIPHON

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a siphon for wastewater drainage, which incorporates a series of technical advantages compared to other similar conventional systems.

It comes to propose a solution when dealing with the problem of blockages in siphons, where once the dirt blocks the passage of water, a secondary evacuation system is activated that allows the main blockage to be dealt with, being able to use the network system of drains with total normality.

Said system not only avoids possible breakdowns and damages caused by blocked pipes such as floods, blockages and bad odors, with the economic and time costs that they entail, but also allows the wastewater evacuation system to continue working until the system is established. conventional by the conventional way of the siphon in question.

The system is equipped with a warning module to know that the pipe has become clogged, and that the secondary evacuation system has started to be used, to proceed to address the blockage.

The industrial application of this invention is within the wastewater evacuation systems and elements, and more specifically, two-way siphons.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Although no invention identical to the one described has been found, we present below the documents found that reflect the state of the art related to it.

Thus, the document ES0187159 refers to a double siphonic drain with a common collector, characterized in that it is made up of two extreme siphonic curves in one of whose terminals two valves fit, the opposite terminal being housed in an elbow that, in turn, adds that as a whole and constituent parts it is possible to assemble with a common piece or collector for connection to the drainage network; The couplings between successive component pieces, valve body, siphonic curve, elbow and common manifold, are made by inserting the smooth end of one of the pieces into the widened end of the next one. so that each one of said couplings are rotatable and extensible to accommodate the valves to the orifices of the containers to which they are to be linked, preferably using, to achieve hermeticity, gaskets made of elastically deformable material that, under the action of external nuts , fix the couplings and prevent any correlative, axial or rotational sliding, between assembled parts once the necessary tightening has been carried out with the respective nuts, allowing, however, by loosening the mentioned nuts, the corresponding disassembly.

ES2288798 proposes incorporating an automatic pressure water jet cleaning system into the siphon, which consists of providing the double-way siphon with water intakes, the number of which will be variable, as well as their position in the siphon, while that the inlet openings will preferably be placed above the waterline inside the siphon, coupling to it by welding and threaded termination, allowing the installation of either a blind plug or its connection to the building's water network. The water intakes are activated by means of a manual opening and closing valve or preferably by inserting a solenoid valve that can be activated by means of a timer.

ES0234085 refers to a siphon for double drains, essentially characterized by being made up of two tubular pieces provided with flexibility, which allow their forced deformation by temporary application of an effort on any of its end branches, making the coupling of these pieces together, thanks to an inlet that the other has, which when inserted and thanks to the flexibility of the material are retained pressure, reinforced with a flange, forming a whole, which can be coupled to the arrival and departure tubes of the wastewater to the device from double-bowl sinks, by external plugging of the mouths of the same to those tubes, the aforementioned mouths being fixed by means of adjustable tightening flanges, and facilitating the maneuver the arrangement of a plurality of circular ribs in immediately contiguous areas to the mouths.

ES0146679 proposes a double drainage device, characterized by being made up of a monobloc piece, which has a transversal tube, straight or at an angle, in which a siphon tube is connected at its center or vertex, equipped with the corresponding opening valve and cleaning, with the ends of the transversal tube being open, to receive two elbows with one end of sufficient length to be telescopically inserted into said transversal tube, so that in any case, the elbows are at an adequate distance to the existing one between them. the drains of the containers where the device is mounted.

Conclusions: As can be seen from the research carried out, none of the documents found solve the problems posed as does the proposed invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The double-way siphon object of the present invention is made from a conventional U- or V-shaped siphon, which includes an auxiliary conduit that acts as a bridge between the two ends of said U or V-shape.

Said auxiliary conduit, which acts as a bridge, remains closed by means of a gate or valve that only opens when it detects an increase in water pressure on it, due to a partial or total flow reduction through the main siphon route.

The pressure detection module, in addition to opening the gate/valve of the auxiliary conduit that acts as a bridge between the two ends of said U or V shape, activates a visual and/or audible warning signal to indicate that there is a clog in the drain.

Some accesses to the siphon that are located on the pipe, in the vicinity of the siphon, allow the operator in question to attend to the problem of blockage in order to return the siphon to its conventional mode of use.

Unless otherwise indicated, all technical and scientific elements used herein have the meaning that is usually understood by a normal person skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. Similar or equivalent procedures and materials to those described herein may be used in the practice of the present invention.

Throughout the description and claims, the word "comprises" and its variants are not intended to exclude other technical characteristics, additives, components or steps. For those skilled in the art, other objects, advantages and characteristics of the invention will emerge in partly the description and partly the practice of the invention.
