Abstract
Description
以下、実施形態に係る分離装置1及びそれを備える分離システム10について、図1~図9に基づいて説明する。図1は、実施形態に係る分離装置1の斜視図である。図2は、分離装置1の透過斜視図である。図3は、分離装置1の一部破断した側面図である。図4は、分離装置1の要部の斜視図である。図5は、分離装置1の別の要部の斜視図である。図6は、分離装置1に関し、図3のVI-VI線に対応する部分で内筒部6を切った断面に対応する断面図である。図7は、分離装置1を示し、図3のVII-VII線断面に対応する断面図である。図8は、分離装置1を備える分離システム10の概略構成図である。
分離装置1は、流体に含まれている固体を流体から分離する装置である。本実施形態では、流体は液体であって、より詳細には水である。また本実施形態では、分離装置1が分離対象とする固体は、水に含まれる不純物(粒子等)である。
上述のように、分離装置1は、ケーシング2と、回転体3と、羽根4と、を備える。ケーシング2は、外筒部5と内筒部6とを備える。図2に示すように、内筒部6は、その全体が外筒部5内に配置されている。
実施形態に係る分離装置1では、回転体3の回転方向R1は、例えば、外筒部5の軸方向D2において第2外側底部59側から回転体3を見たときに反時計回り方向(図6、図7参照)である。分離システム10は、駆動装置11によって回転体3を回転駆動する。
上述の実施形態は、本開示の様々な実施形態の一つに過ぎない。実施形態は、本開示の目的を達成できれば、設計等に応じて種々の変更が可能である。
図10は、変形例1に係る分離装置1Aの透過斜視図である。図11は、分離装置1Aの要部の斜視図である。図12は、分離装置1Aの別の要部の斜視図である。本変形例の分離装置1Aは、図10~図12に示すように、内筒部6において排出口63が流体流通口62とは別に形成されている点で、実施形態の分離装置1と相違する。また、本変形例の分離装置1Aは、防止部8を更に備えている点で、実施形態の分離装置1と相違する。本変形例に係る分離装置1Aに関し、実施形態に係る分離装置1と同様の構成要素には、同一の符号を付して説明を適宜省略する。
一変形例において、分離装置1,1Aは、開閉部7を備えていなくてもよい。この場合、回転体3を回転させると、流体は流体流入口51からケーシング2内に流入する。そして、ケーシング2内に流入した流体のうちの一部は流体流出口52から流出し、残りは固体90と一緒に固体排出部53から排出されることとなる。
以上説明した実施形態及び変形例から明らかなように、本明細書には以下の態様が開示されている。
