Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved method and apparatus for cleaning the fluid flow path in a conduit.
  • the present invention may be utilized to clean drain lines in any application, whether commercial or residential, and is not necessarily limited to sewage systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for clearing a build-up in a trap within a drainage system which may be impeding the flow of fluid from the system discharge.
  • the present invention has an embodiment wherein the dynamic for clearing the flow path is supplied by angular arrangement and orientation of the inlet and outlet piping legs of the apparatus.
  • traps are provided to catch or collect materials passing through the system.
  • traps are used to capture items falling into the drain, so that they do not pass directly through the drain line and into the main sewer system. They are also intended to block sewer gas bleed back into the building.
  • the traps often accumulate excessive amounts of debris and build-up blocking the drainage flow through the system.
  • a typical trap system is generally U-shaped and has inlet and outlet piping that is substantially vertical in relation to the bight of the trap body.
  • the inlet leg of one embodiment is designed to redirect the flow of the inflowing fluid and, thus, cause solids in the flow path turbulently to mix with the fluid so that solids may be removed efficiently as the fluid and solids exit the trap device.
  • a further feature of the present design is the recessed trap area at the nadir of the trap. Since the incoming fluid flow has been directed by the angle of the inlet leg, an area of turbulence near the bottom of the trap is created that tends to "float" or maintain the dispersion of the solids so that the solids may be easily discharged through the angular outlet leg portion of the device. It should be further understood that the shape of the flow path is important to the removal of the solids.
  • the present design provides a round or oval cross- section of the entire fluid flow path in the trap, which creates maximum flow efficiency.
  • One trap design as described in U.S. Patent No. 6,385,799, utilizes parallel sides and a somewhat rectangular cross-section. Those skilled in the art will understand that parallel sided conduits create "dead" areas of lost flow energy which result in less turbulence and inefficient solids removal from the trap.
  • the user is able to rotate a cleaning or object retrieval member through the trap assembly bight without removing the trap body from connected plumbing and to position the cleaning or object retrieval member such that the full volume flow through the bight diameter is not restricted when the member is not being rotated through the flow path.
  • the present invention may be manually operated or attached to a sensor system having a mechanism to periodically rotate the cleaning member either based simply on a selected time interval or dependent upon pressure or flow rate characteristics within the drain system. Additionally, the present invention provides an embodiment wherein the cleaning member rotates on a common journal with a fluid-driven power wheel or electric motor.
  • the device is transparent or translucent to allow the user to observe the condition of the trap to observe when cleaning may be required. This transparency or translucency also allows the user to observe an object dropped into the drain so it can be retrieved or otherwise removed.
  • Another unique feature of the present invention provides for the application of a hydrophobic material which reduces the surface tension of the internal conduit which reduces the friction between the conduit wall and the fluid which improves its solids carrying efficiency.
  • Another unique feature of the present invention provides for the application of an antibacterial material which will prevent the growing of bacteria in the trap area which can impede the fluid flow.
  • the present invention is described and illustrated in a preferred embodiment within a plumbing/sewer environment, it will be understood that the present invention could be adapted for use in industrial situations where product in a pipeline periodically may need to be flushed or wiped from the pipeline. In such situations, the present invention may not function as a trap, but rather as an inline cleaning or clearing apparatus.

  • Fig. 2 shows a side elevation view of one embodiment of the present invention as it would be connected to a fluid inlet feed line and an outlet drain line.
  • Fig. 3 is a side elevation view of one embodiment of the present invention with a rotation member at a first position inside the housing assembly.
  • the rotation member is shown in broken lines in a next position moving toward an object or debris in the nadir of the trap.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates a side elevation view of the embodiment of Fig. 3, wherein the object or debris has been scooped onto the rotation member and is being retrieved through the inlet using a hook or appropriate tool.
  • Fig. 5 shows the side elevation view of the embodiment of Fig. 3, wherein the debris is being dispersed by the inflowing fluid from the inlet leg of the device. The debris is flowing out the outlet leg.

  • Fig. 13 illustrates an end view cross-section of the jet journal of Fig. 12.
  • Fig. 14 is a side elevation view of one embodiment of the fluid jet mechanism of the present invention.
  • Fig. 15 shows a side elevation view of yet another of the fluid jet mechanism of the present invention.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates a typical (prior art) drain trap 10 which attaches to a sink and drain line (not shown).
  • the trap 10 has a U-shaped configuration with a generally vertical inlet 12 and outlet 14 piping leg sections each having a longitudinal axis Li and l_ 2 extending therethrough. Between the vertical legs 12 and 14, in the bight 16 of the trap is a region Hi, where there is a low energy of flow of water through the trap. The water flow WF into the bight from inlet leg 12 is focused in the center section of the leg and when it reaches the bight considerable flow energy has been lost. Thus in the conventional trap, debris falling to the nadir of the bight does not experience much agitation or turbulence. This is a reason for the development of clogs and build-ups which obstruct the flow of fluid through the trap.
  • a basic embodiment 20 of the present invention is shown in Fig. 2 in a side elevation view attached to an inlet feed line 21 and an outlet drain line 23. It should be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that standard piping and conduit structures may be used to form the present invention. Circular or oval tubing may be utilized.
  • a split housing assembly 22 may be made of rugged plastics or other suitable materials. The housing assembly 22 may be transparent or translucent to improve the visibility of the conditions inside the housing assembly 22. (Fig. 7 illustrates the two halves 22A and 22B of the housing 22.)
  • the apparatus 20 is also provided with a tubular inlet portion 24, a tubular outlet portion 26, and a bight portion 28 connecting the inlet portion and the outlet portion thus forming a fluid flow path through the apparatus 20.
  • An inlet connector member 30 has a standard threaded coupling 32 at a first end for attachment to a complementary coupling on the inlet feed line (not shown).
  • the inlet connector member has a generally vertical orientation when attached to the inlet feed line and a longitudinal vertical axis L 3 extends through the central tubular section of the inlet connector member.
  • This short vertical connector member 30 enables the present invention to easily replace existing conventional traps. Member 30 allows for proper plumbing alignment and for the insertion of the inlet feed line into the connector member 30 for proper pipefitting.
  • apparatus 20 has a sloped inlet leg portion 34 extending from a first end 36 at the connector member 30 to a second end 38 at the bight portion 28.
  • the inlet leg portion 34 is tubular with a circular or ova! cross-section.
  • a longitudinal axis L 4 extends through the central part of the inlet leg portion at an inclined or sloped angle A. While improved operation may be achieved with low approach angles (greater than approximately 5°), it is believed that significant improvement is obtained with an inclined or sloped angle A in the range of from approximately 15° to a range of approximately 35° from the vertical longitudinal axis L 3 of the inlet connector member 30. Maximum efficiency may be achieved when angle A is approximately 20°.
  • Apparatus 20 further has a unique sloped outlet leg portion 40 extending from a first end 41 at an outlet connector member 33.
  • the outlet connector member 33 is similar to the inlet connector member 30 and has a thread coupling 35 for attachment to a complementary coupling on the outlet drain line (not shown).
  • the outlet connector member 33 has a generally vertical orientation when attached to the outlet drain line and a longitudinal vertical axis L 5 extends through the central tubular section of the outlet connector member 33.
  • the outlet connector member 33 allows for plumbing alignment and for insertion of the outlet drain line into the connector member 33 for proper pipefitting.
  • Outlet leg portion 40 is tubular with a circular or oval cross-section.
  • a longitudinal axis L 6 extends through the central part of the outlet leg portion at an inclined or sloped angle B. Again, there is improvement even when angle B is low (greater than about 5°). Significant improvement may be achieved with angle B in the range of from approximately 15° to a range of approximately 35° from the vertical longitudinal axis L 5 of the outlet connector member 33. Maximum efficiency may be achieved when angle B is approximately 20°.
  • This simple, but unique, angular configuration and arrangement of the inlet and outlet leg portions of the apparatus 20 provides for enhanced flow dynamics within the housing and especially the bight, thereby reducing buildups in the flow path of the device.
  • one embodiment of the present invention includes a rotation member 54 within the chamber 46 of the housing assembly 22.

  • a paddle member 80 is also provided on the rotation member 54. Paddle 80 may be rigid or flexible as it extends radially from the journal 56. The paddle trails the teeth 70 and, in operation, may wipe the inner bight walls during rotation moving loosened sludge or buildup out of the chamber 46 and into the inlet leg portion 34.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates the movement of rotation member 54, teeth 70, and paddle 80 from a first position (out of the flow path) to a position near an object or debris 61.
  • the rotation of member 54 is one-direction movement (shown in Fig.

  • Fig. 5 shows the debris dispersed as smaller segments 61 a. Segments 61 are moved by the turbulence generated in the fluid flow path. There is a reduced likelihood of large clumps of debris moving outside the reach or range of the member 54. If a large clump is presented, it may be fished out of the path as shown in Fig. 4.
