  • Figure 22 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of the piping member 10A-1 cut away.
  • Figure 23 is a plan view of the piping member 10A-1.
  • Figure 24 is a bottom view of the piping member 10A-1.
  • the protrusion member 6A-1 has the same shape as the protrusion member 6-1 on the first end 6a side. However, unlike the protrusion member 6-1, the protrusion member 6A-1 has an end face 68 on the second end 6b. The end face 68 intersects with the central axis C3 of the vertical pipe 3A. In this embodiment, the end face 68 is perpendicular to the central axis C3 of the vertical pipe 3A.
  • the protruding member 6A-1 has a top 6c and a protruding portion 6h.
  • the protruding portion 6h extends from the portion between the top 6c and the second end 6b toward the center of the upright pipe 3 when viewed from the direction of the central axis C3 of the upright pipe 3. In this embodiment, the protruding portion 6h is located at the second end 6b.
  • the shape of the protrusion member 6-1A when the height of the protrusion member 6-1A decreases monotonically from the top 6c toward the second end 6b (hereinafter referred to as the basic shape) is shown by a two-dot chain line.
  • the dimensions a and b of the protrusion 6h can be set based on this basic shape.
  • Dimension a may be the maximum amount of protrusion from the basic shape.
  • Dimension b may be the distance between the upstream and downstream boundaries of the basic shape and the protrusion 6h.
  • the protruding member 6A-1 fits within the straight pipe 32 in the direction of the central axis C3 of the vertical pipe 3A.
  • the length of the protruding member 6A-1 (the distance between the first end 6a and the second end 6b) is equal to the length of the straight pipe 32. That is, in the piping member 10A-1, the entire protruding member 6A-1 is within the straight pipe 32. This allows the protruding member 6A-1 to be protected by the straight pipe 32 compared to a case in which the protruding member 6A-1 is partially protruding from the straight pipe 32. This reduces the possibility of damage to the protruding member 6A-1.
  • FIG. 25 is a comparison diagram between the protrusion member 6A-1 according to the second embodiment and the protrusion member 6-1 according to the first embodiment. From FIG. 25, it can be said that the protrusion member 6A-1 has a shape in which the portion on the second end 6b side of the protrusion member 6-1 is cut in a direction perpendicular to the central axis C3 of the vertical pipe 3A. However, in the protrusion member 6A-1, the protrusion 6h is also between the top 6c and the second end 6b. The height of the protrusion member 6A-1 monotonically decreases from the top 6c to the protrusion 6h.
  • the protrusion member 6A-1 virtually has a portion where the height of the protrusion member 6A-1 becomes 0.
  • the portion where the height of the protrusion member 6A-1 becomes 0 may correspond to the second end 6b of the protrusion member 6-1.
  • the protruding member 6A-1 can be made smaller in dimension in the direction of the central axis C3 of the vertical pipe 3A than the protruding member 6-1.
  • the protruding member 6A-1 has a shape in which the portion of the protruding member 6-1 on the second end 6b side that protrudes from the straight pipe 32 to the outside has been cut.
  • the portion of the protruding member 6-1 on the second end 6b side protrudes outward from the second end of the straight pipe 32.
  • the second end 6b of the protruding member 6-1 is thin and therefore easily damaged.
  • the protruding member 6-1 when the protruding member 6-1 is placed in the straight pipe 32, there is a possibility that the protruding member 6-1 will be damaged during transportation, etc. In contrast, the entire protruding member 6A-1 is inside the straight pipe 32, so the possibility of damage to the protruding member 6A-1 can be reduced.
  • the protrusion member 6A-1 has the advantage that the dimension in the direction of the central axis C3 of the vertical pipe 3A can be made smaller than that of the protrusion member 6-1, and damage can be prevented. Such a change in shape between the protrusion member 6A-1 and the protrusion member 6-1 can also cause a change in pressure loss. Therefore, the change in pressure loss caused by the difference in shape between the protrusion member 6-1 and the protrusion member 6A-1 was evaluated.
  • Figure 26 is a graph showing the change in pressure loss due to the protrusion member 6A-1 compared to the protrusion member 6-1.
  • the vertical axis indicates pressure loss in the piping member.
  • the horizontal axis indicates the length percentage [%].
  • the length percentage [%] is the percentage of the distance from the apex 6c to the second end 6b of the protruding member 6A-1 relative to the distance from the apex 6c to the second end 6b of the protruding member 6-1.
  • a length ratio of 100% indicates that the shape of the protrusion member 6A-1 is equal to the shape of the protrusion member 6-1.
  • a length ratio of 0% indicates that the shape of the protrusion member 6A-1 is from the first end 6a to the apex 6c.
  • the height of the protrusion member 6A-1 decreases monotonically from the apex 6c to the second end 6b. Therefore, the height of the protrusion member 6A-1 at the second end 6b increases as the length ratio decreases. From FIG. 26, it can be seen that the effect of reducing pressure loss decreases as the length ratio decreases. However, the relationship between the length ratio and the pressure loss is not linear, and the pressure loss increases exponentially with the decrease in the length ratio.
  • L2' is set to satisfy the following condition. That is, if the height of the protruding member 6A-1 at the top 6c is H1 and the height of the protruding member 6A-1 at the second end 6b is H2, then 0.05H1 ⁇ H2 ⁇ 0.90H1. This allows for miniaturization while improving the flow rate.
  • the length of the protruding member 6A-1 can be made shorter than that of the protruding member 6-1. This allows for miniaturization of the protruding member 6A-1.
  • the protruding member 6A-1 has fewer thin areas downstream of the protruding member 6A-1, which may reduce the possibility of damage to the protruding member 6A-1.
  • the formula 0.5d ⁇ L ⁇ 5.0d can be rewritten as 0.5d ⁇ L1+H1/(H1-H2) ⁇ L2' ⁇ 5.0d using L1 and L2'. Therefore, in the protruding member 6A-1, if the inner diameter of the straight pipe 32 is d, the distance between the first end 6a and the apex 6c in the direction of the central axis C3 of the straight pipe 32 is L1, and the distance between the apex 6c and the second end 6b in the direction of the central axis C3 of the straight pipe 32 is L2', then it is preferable that 0.5d ⁇ L1+H1/(H1-H2) ⁇ L2' ⁇ 5.0d.
  • the above-described protruding members 6A-1, 6A-2 have, at the second ends 6b, end faces 68 that intersect with the central axes C3, C4 of the straight pipes 32, 42.
  • This configuration can improve the flow rate while enabling miniaturization.
  • This configuration can reduce the possibility of breakage at the second ends 6b of the protruding members 6A-1, 6A-2.
  • the protrusion members 6A-1 and 6A-2 if the inner diameter of the straight pipes 32 and 42 is d, the distance between the first end 6a and the apex 6c in the direction of the central axis C3 and C4 of the straight pipes 32 and 42 is L1, and the distance between the apex 6c and the second end 6b in the direction of the central axis C3 and C4 of the straight pipes 32 and 42 is L2', then 0.5d ⁇ L1+H1/(H1-H2) ⁇ L2' ⁇ 5.0d.
  • This configuration can improve the flow rate while enabling miniaturization.
  • the position of the protrusion 6h is not limited to the second end 6b, but may be between the top 6c and the second end 6b.

  • the protruding member 6-1 does not necessarily have to have a contact end surface 66.
  • the shape, number and arrangement of the protrusions 67 of the protrusion member 6-1 may be changed as appropriate according to the shape, number and arrangement of the recesses 3c of the upright pipe 3.
  • the recesses 3c may be holes rather than notches.
  • the position of the recesses 3c is not limited to the edge of the upstream end 3.
  • the protrusions 67 and recesses 3c are preferably provided so as to facilitate positioning of the protrusion member 6-1 relative to the upright pipe 3.
  • the protrusion member 6-1 does not necessarily have to have the protrusions 67.
  • the protruding member 6-1 may be formed integrally with the upright pipe 3, rather than being a separate member from the upright pipe 3. This is equivalent to the inner peripheral surface 30a of the upright pipe 3 including the main surface 61 and the first and second side surfaces 62, 63 of the protruding member 6-1.
  • the protruding members 6-1 and 6-2 do not necessarily have to have the same configuration or structure.

  • the protruding members 6-1, 6-2 do not necessarily have to have the same shape and dimensions, and may have different shapes and dimensions. In other words, the shape and dimensions of the protruding members 6-1, 6-2 may be set appropriately depending on the location where the protruding members 6-1, 6-2 are placed, etc.
