Abstract

A gravity-flow filter system is provided having an upper and lower reservoir separated by a filter; an elongate tube places the filter in fluid communication with the lower reservoir and is selected to have a size such that the natural flow rate of the filter allows the tube to be completely flooded and yet has a flow rate equal to or greater than the average natural flow rate of the filter. The water flowing down the elongate tube into the lower reservoir creates a siphonic drawing force that increases the flow rate of the filter as well as the filter life.

Lack of sufficient records, &, A < adequate infrastructure, rapid industrialization and population growth are further deteriorating drinking water. Blackouts such as the ability of developing countries to improve urban processing facilities and / or high quality drinking water have been reduced for quite some time. Many municipalities fail to adequately address issues related to high rainfall, aging water mains, outdated treatment systems, and frequent water replenishment requirements. In this view, the result of clever dyeing of drinking water is that contaminated surface water penetrates into the distribution pipe through cracks and fissures. Furthermore, it additionally relates to the entire municipality's final decantation of urban water. The ability to address many water purification components continues and / or increases contamination with a variety of different harmful microorganisms and / or industrial waste. Therefore, increasing consumer interest in increasing aquatic products f for human consumption.

Description of the invention () system, and designed to filter the water or other water directly use or consume the water. Such systems typically include configuration in some shell types (for example, bottles, kettles, jugs, counter_top (Or install faucet equipment) replaceable filters. Many existing designs utilize filters that are less expensive and easier to remove and install. Examples of filters used are BRITA filters manufactured by clorox Corporation. BRITA filtration The device uses a water tank design with an upper water tank and a lid. The upper water tank below the position # is a package extending to the lower water tank. S. Water is injected into the upper water tank and filtered through the packaging, and enters the lower water tank. This special design The gravity flow device is not connected to any pressure water outlet, such as a faucet. As a result, almost all of the water is transmitted from the upper sink to the lower sink by passing through it. Then the water in the lower sink can be taken from the water jet through The water tank is poured out. Many filtration systems that use filtration systems are often located in m, so the pollution can be removed by the filter material. ^ Return to the sink below. In addition, many gravity flow filtration systems and filtration systems are used for one purpose. In terms of time, in this point of view, especially for the used system, the consumption of 4 W is more rapid than that of Wuhuan filtration system, which is used for filtering water more quickly or inconveniently. So 'the rest is not expensive , 可 f # The early morning water filtration system needs to provide filtered water in a short time system. Furthermore, Stan has, and a water purification system that provides improved filtration capacity and life is required. In addition, Emperor has Limit the possibility of re-contamination of the filter. The invention described above fulfills the above requirements.

Description of the invention () A filtering system of Wangu device, a filter in liquid communication with the upper container, and an extension channel placed in the lower container in liquid communication with the filter. Therefore, the water flowing in the upper valley passes through the filter, enters the extension channel, and enters the lower water tank from the extension channel. The extension channel is used to transfer the filtered liquid from the filter to the lower container. This creates a suction that helps the liquid exit the filter, thereby increasing the flow rate of the filter. In addition, the increased excretion force also helps to improve the capacity and life of many filters, because the increased excretion force causes fluid to flow through more pores, that is, it causes more pores to wet, thereby improving filter capacity and / or . The extension channel has a cross-sectional area, which is selected according to the natural flow velocity of the filter. The cross-section area of the extension channel is small enough for the liquid to sufficiently flow from the filter to the wet extension channel (ie, the air channel is excluded), and is large enough to Excluding air, the channel flow rate is equal to or greater than the average natural flow rate of the filter. Ideally, the cross-sectional area of the extension channel is approximately equal to or greater than the maximum natural flow rate of the filter. In a particular embodiment, the extension channel may have an L: h ratio of at least 4: ^, where L is the length of the channel and 仏 is the inside diameter of the channel. In a further aspect, the ideal channel has a length of more than 2.5 cm, and it is more desirable to have a length of at least about 10 cm. The extension channel may comprise a material that is either hydrophilic or hydrophobic, and a substantially rigid material that is not flexible. In addition, the filtration system may have a flow space below the filter in which the liquid leaving the filter is directed toward the extension channel and enters it. Ideally, the flow space is about the same range as the filter. From a further perspective, the above ingredients may be contained in a single container, such as a water tank, for example. In this view, the filter material and the flow space can be located at the bottom part of the upper container and the extension channel can be extended to the lower container.

Invention Description () Objects, such as carbon Hydrogen compounds, herbicides, pesticides, gases, and many other pollutants, And zeolites and ion exchange resins are used to remove various metals and ionic substances, such as lead, copper, etc. At a glance, in order to provide filtering materials with excellent filtering properties that are generally broad but have different pollutants, they can be used One or more sheets of filter material. But as an example, the filter may include upper and lower microfiber fabrics, such as modified charge fiberglass fabrics and one or more central layers of synthetic material containing activated carbon. See an example and refer to In the fourth and fifth figures, the filtering part (26) may include a first supporting layer (26A), a filtering medium (26B), and a second supporting layer (26C). The first support layer (26A) ideally contains a perforated plastic that results in the ability to dispense liquid across the filter media (26B). Although the filter media (26B) is shown as a single layer, it will be understood that the filter media may include multiple layers, such as the multilayer sheet products discussed above. The filtering part (26) can be designed to be inserted into the water tank (12) and formed to be closed with a blocking wall (22) for waterproofing, so that water only enters the extension passage (34) and passes through the filtering part (26). Chemicals and / or mechanical traps are inherently limited by their limited lifetime. Therefore, it is desirable to constitute the filtering material and / or the filtering portion so that it can be easily inserted and removed from the filtering system. Optionally, a handle can be provided in the filter to assist in the same removal and insertion. Ideally, once the filter has reached the end of its useful life, the filter, Shaofen (26) can be replaced with a new filter part, or it can be repaired and reused to restore the filter characteristics. In a further point of view, the filtering portion can be designed such that the filtering medium itself can be removed from the filtering portion 'so that the filtering portion inserted with the repaired filtering medium can be reused in a water tank. The filtering part (26) is ideally formed with a barrier wall (22) that is waterproof and tight. ^ -------- Order ------- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)

Description of the Invention () Seal to prevent unfiltered water from flowing into the channel (34) and the second water tank (20). In order to accomplish this task, the filtering part can be attached to the barrier wall (22) by a variety of known mechanisms (for example, circular rings, screw fittings and friction mounting and other waterproof sealing mechanisms). The transit portion may include a portion or be located above the barrier wall. Referring to the first and second figures, the filtering portion (26) is placed immediately above the blocking wall (22). Ideally constitute the filtration system and / or the filtration part to provide the flowing two rooms (30) under the filtration medium (26B). This is for the purpose of extracting the mud from the filtration medium (26b) and leaving and entering the extension Channel (34). As shown in an example, the second supporting layer (26C) may contain a series of supporting edges (27). The supporting edge places the filtering medium (26B) above the second supporting layer (26C) to form a flowing space (30). ). The supporting edge (27) also focuses the water straightly toward the opening (33) in the second supporting layer (26C). Alternatively, a filtering section placed at a fixed distance above the blocking wall can form a flow space. In this view, these edges may provide downward extension from the bottom portion of the second support layer and / or may provide upward extension from the barrier wall. Ideally, the flow space (30) extends substantially below the entire portion of the passing medium (26B) and is not intended for the water leaving the reacting medium (26B) to be unrestrictedly directed and entering the outlet opening (33). size. In addition, the ideal flow space is inclined so that water flows towards a uniform outlet opening. For most home filtration systems, the mobile space (30) has a height of at least about 0.5 mm, and a more desirable height is about 0 to 15 cm. In addition, there is ideally a similar gap or flow space (29) between the first support layer (26A) and the filter medium (26B). The liquid entering the flow space (30) can then enter the outlet opening (33) and the extension channel (34).

B7 y — ----————- _ V. The outlet opening (33) of the description of the invention (33) is ideally placed above And arbitrarily extend into the exit opening (32) in the person blocking wall (22). When placed in the outlet opening (32), the extension channel is in liquid communication with the outlet opening (33). The water flowing through the opening (33) enters the extension channel and leaves the second water tank (20). The first water tank (24) is in liquid communication with the second water tank (20) by passing through the grate (26), the flow space (30), and the extension channel (34). The size and shape of the outlet openings (32) and / or (33) can be varied. In addition, the outlet opening can optionally include a mesh partition or other material that can concentrate any particulate material, such as activated carbon, which can leak out of the filter media. The outlet opening (33) desirably has a cross-sectional area approximately equal to or larger than the acceleration tube or channel (34). The extension channel (34) can extend below the outlet opening (33) and enter the second water tank (20). The cross-sectional area of the extension channel (34) will be selected based on the natural flow velocity of the filter and the tube composition discussed here. The term "natural now rate" as used herein means the flow rate of liquid through the filter medium without siphoning or other pressure applications (except gravity and liquid above the filter). Therefore, it is not necessary to connect to the system's extension channel to calculate the natural flow velocity. You will understand that the natural flow rate of the filter material will change and reflect the available pressure (such as generated by the water overhead) and the characteristics of the filter material (such as average pore size, percentage of openings, composites, etc.). In addition, as used here, the "average natural mud rate" (average natural flow rate) is a filter designed to filter the system (without the need for an extension channel in the system), which has a filter head with a change of 0 to the maximum point. Flow rate; the average natural flow rate can be quickly calculated by filling the upper water tank to accommodate and allow the filtration system to pour out of the water tank (such as filtering liquid). The volume of the upper tank can be divided by the time to obtain the average natural flow rate of the filter caused by the tank. In addition, as used here, "most (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) —install — ^ order ------ · 524707 Α7 τττ Β7 5. Description of the invention () (Please read the precautions on the back first (Fill in this page again.) The term "natural mud speed" (maximum natural fl ow rate) means the highest actual flow rate of the filter in the filtration system; the maximum flow rate of gravity flow filtration is generally after filtering the wet feet and when the upper water tank is at or near Completed at maximum height. Taking into account a number of factors, a channel (34) with a not too small inside cross-sectional area was chosen to obstruct the average natural flow rate of the filter and to be small enough to completely wet and exclude air when water enters the filtration system. As used herein, the terms "wet out" and "wetting ut" are intended to refer to extended channels that flow into and / or fill a channel that is substantially devoid of air. Once the channel is immediately wet, the water flowing down to the channel (34) into the second water tank (20) creates a void (such as siphoning force), by which the water is drawn into the filter. The extra siphoning force increases the flow rate of the filter. In this perspective, it has been found that increased tensile forces can cause more pores in the filter material to wet, which in turn can increase filtration capacity and extend filter life. In addition, the use of channels or tubes causes additional siphoning force to drive water through the filter allowing a filter with a smaller average pore size to be used while maintaining the same flow rate (compared to filtration systems without extended channels). In order to maximize the initial flow rate of the entire system, the extension channel ideally has a cross-section 'to provide a flow rate that is substantially equal to or greater than the maximum natural flow rate of the filter. Printed by a member of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and a Consumer Cooperative. The extension channel (34) has a length of at least about 2.5 cm, and ideally has a length of at least about 5 cm, and more preferably a length of at least about 10 cm. In a preferred embodiment, the extension channel (34) extends substantially into the lower sink (20). As an example, the extension channel (34) ideally extends into and has a lower sink (20) of at least 50% south. In any case, the end of the extension channel in the lower sink above the bottom of the lower sink is ideally larger than the bottom of the lower sink.

Description of the invention (0.1 A points' and more ideally above the bottom of the bottom sink) The bottom of the extension channel in the lower channel is at least 1 cm larger than the bottom of the channel. Although the channel is suitable for various shapes, the ideal shape is generally tubular, such as a duct. In a further aspect of the present invention, the extension channel is ideal There is an L: Di ratio of at least 4 (Di is the inside diameter of the channel, the length and ideal L: Di ratio of the 1 ^ channel is at least about 10: ^, and the more desirable L · Di ratio is at least about It is 25: 1. As a better example, for a filter having about 180 pm / min <natural mud distance, the extension channel ideally includes a cross section with a cross-sectional area of about 0.6 to 1.3 square centimeters. Hydrophilic tube. Additionally, it will be understood that similar results can be obtained by using most extensions The diameter and flow rate of this channel can be selected, in which each channel can be dried, and the common flow rate of the channel is not limited to the natural flow rate of the filter. The lengthened channel (34) can be generally included and discussed above. The water tank is similar to rigid material. In addition, the extension channel (M) may include flexible materials, such as rubber, flexible plastic tubes (such as polyethylene or vinyl), etc. The ideal channel ( 34) contains a hydrophilic material, for example = yes: rust steel or polycarbonate. In this point of view, it is believed that using a hydrophilic material helps the initial wetting and exclusion of the same air. The tube (34) is permanently fixed to the outlet opening (32) and / or (33), or a releasable type is connected to the outlet openings (32) and / or (33). Ideally, the passage (34) and the exit opening (32) and ㈠3) constitute an allowable pipe 2 (34) easily attaches and is removed from the exit opening (33). As an example, the extension channel can be 4 different mechanisms (such as hook installation, screw assembly, circular ring and friction installation, for example) E.g. exit opening A tapered inner k-section) and so on) attached to the outlet opening.

Description of the invention () The sub-contains a flexible and / or elastic material (such as rubber), and the pipe can be easily installed on Extend the outside of the outlet opening under the upper sink. Example The velocity of the filter material in the estimation system is similar to that described in Figure 6 and Figure 6A. A filter material with a cross-sectional area of 丨 square inches (7 square centimeters) (above the bottom of Guluo (52)) supports approximately 0127 cm, thereby creating a flowing space (54). The bottom of the container (52) has a circular outlet opening (56) in the center. The water (55) is maintained at a certain height of about 57 cm on the filter material (50). The water (55) directly enters the container (52) from the water injection pipe (51), and the water above the ideal water head leaves the container (52) through the water tank outflow outlet (53). Using the system described in the sixth figure, the water flowing through the filter (50) and leaving the outlet opening (56) directly enters the tachometer, and the green is measured at the above water head (calculate the natural mud without the extension pipe (60)). Speed 'as described in Figure 6). Thereafter, circular stainless steel tubes (60) of different diameters are in liquid communication with the outlet opening (56), thereby producing the system described in FIG. 6A. The length of different tubes (60) is fixed at 14.6 cm. The water passing through the filter (50) and the outlet of the pipe (61) directly enters the flow meter (58) and records the actual flow rate of the filtration system. The individual flow rates of the two filtration systems can be viewed by looking at the chart described in Figure 7. Observing the above data indicates that the flow rate of the filtration system can be improved by using an extended fluid channel. In any case, the improvement in the flow rate of the filtration system has a fixed operating range, which is limited to the relationship between the natural flow rate of the filter and the cross section of the pipe. Once the cross-sectional area of the tube has reached a minimum, the mud velocity of the filtration system begins to decrease because the flow velocity of the tube is less than the natural flow velocity of the filter. In addition, once the cross-sectional area of the tube has reached the maximum, please check the system (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) -IAW --- installation ----- order --- fee _ paper ruler China's State Council Dejin fCRS, A4 (⑺0 X 2 shots mm) Mavis ^ atentiPk001.07- \ 071 ^ PK-001-0712-1.Doc May 20, 2002 524707 A7 B7 V.
