Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for causing magnetism to act on a fluid by passing the fluid through a tubular body.

Conventionally, as shown in the following patent documents, properties are changed by passing magnetism through a fluid such as water. Such a device for causing magnetism to act on a fluid is generally formed by a tube through which the fluid flows and a magnet provided on the inner surface or the outer surface of the tube.
In such an apparatus, in the inventions described in Patent Documents 2 to 4, a rectangular parallelepiped magnet is made to act on a tubular body having a circular cross section, so that a gap is formed on the outer surface of the tubular body, resulting in a waste of space. The problem arises that becomes large. In contrast, when the cross-sectional shape of the tubular body is rectangular as shown in FIG. 1 of Patent Document 1, there is no gap on the outer surface of the tubular body with respect to the rectangular parallelepiped magnet, and the circular shape has the same area. Since the distance between the magnets can be reduced as compared with the cross-sectional tube body, there is an advantage that the magnetic force acting on the fluid can be increased.

Japanese Patent No. 4131479 gazette FIG. JP 11-138173 A JP 2002-86153 A JP 2004-130251 A

By the way, in such a fluid magnetic processing apparatus, in order to increase the flow rate of the fluid, it is necessary to increase the cross-sectional area of the tubular body. At this time, if the cross section of the tube is simply increased in a similar shape, the distance between the magnets increases, so a large magnet is required, and the wall thickness of the tube is increased to ensure a pressure resistance according to the flow rate. Since the necessity is multiplied, there arises a problem that the apparatus becomes large.
As a method for solving this problem, as shown in FIG. 5, a fluid magnetic processing apparatus composed of a small tubular body P and a magnet M is used as one unit U, and a plurality of them are connected in parallel. In this case, since the distance between the magnets does not change, there is no need to change the size of the magnet of each unit U, and the flow rate through each unit U is the same, so there is no need to increase the wall thickness of the tube body. The apparatus can be made smaller as compared with a case where the cross-sectional shape of the tube body is simply increased in a similar shape. Further, since it is possible to cope with the required flow rate by simply changing the number of units, the design, production, etc. can be standardized, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
In such an arrangement of fluid magnetic processing units, when arranged in series as shown in FIG. 5, the length in only one direction increases, so it can be considered to arrange in a matrix as shown in FIG. When arranged in a matrix like this, the magnets of the upper and lower units in the figure are arranged in an overlapping manner, but the overlapping magnets are wasted because the polarity of the magnets does not change even if they overlap. It is done.
From this point of view, the present invention provides a fluid magnetic processing apparatus in which a fluid magnetic processing unit including a tubular body having a rectangular cross section and a magnet sandwiching the tubular body is arranged in a matrix. The challenge is to make it.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a fluid magnetic processing unit X according to this embodiment. The fluid magnetic processing unit X includes a first tubular body 10a, a second tubular body 10b, a central magnet 20, a first outer magnet 30a, and a second outer magnet 30b. The first tubular body 10a and the second tubular body 10b have the same shape and are formed of a nonmagnetic material and have a certain length and a rectangular cross section. The first tubular body 10a and the second tubular body 10b are arranged in parallel to each other with the central magnet 20 interposed therebetween.
The central magnet 20 is a magnet made of a flat plate-like body having substantially the same length as the first tubular body 10a and the second tubular body 10b and slightly narrower than the first tubular body 10a and the second tubular body 10b. Each of the main surfaces constitutes an S pole and an N pole. The central magnet 20 is bonded and fixed between the first tubular body 10a and the second tubular body 10b. The first outer magnet 30 a and the second outer magnet 30 b are the same magnets as the central magnet 20. The first outer magnet 30a is adhesively fixed by bringing a magnetic pole surface attracting the central magnet 20 into contact with the outer side of the surface of the first tubular body 10a opposite to the surface to which the central magnet 20 is fixed. The second outer magnet 30b is bonded and fixed by bringing a magnetic pole surface attracting the central magnet 20 into contact with the outer side of the surface of the second tubular body 10b facing the surface to which the central magnet 20 is fixed.

  The fluid magnetic processing unit X generates a magnetic field generated between the first outer magnet 30a and the central magnet 20 and between the second outer magnet 30b and the central magnet 20 in each of the first tubular body 10a and the second tubular body 10b. Since it can be made to act, the fluid can be magnetically processed by flowing the fluid through the first tubular body 10a and the second tubular body 10b. And since the center magnet 20 is shared with respect to the 1st pipe body 10a and the 2nd pipe body 10b, when pinching each of the 1st pipe body 10a and the 2nd pipe body 10b with two independent magnets, In comparison, the apparatus can be reduced in size and weight.

  Next, the case where a fluid magnetic processing apparatus is comprised using the fluid magnetic processing unit X which has the above structures is demonstrated. The fluid magnetic processing unit X can be used alone or as a fluid magnetic processing apparatus, but the flow rate of the fluid to be processed can be increased by arranging a plurality of fluid magnetic processing units X in parallel. FIG. 2 shows a front view of a fluid magnetic processing apparatus XA in which three fluid magnetic processing units X are fixed in parallel. It goes without saying that the number to be arranged in parallel can be appropriately changed according to the flow rate. In the fluid magnetic processing apparatus XA having such a configuration, the same magnetic field can be applied in each tubular body, and since the central magnet existing between the tubular bodies is shared, the entire apparatus can be reduced in size and weight. Can be planned.

In the above-described embodiment, the fluid magnetic processing unit X in which two pipe bodies are arranged on the upper and lower sides is illustrated, but it goes without saying that three or more pipe bodies may be stacked in the vertical direction. For example, like the fluid magnetic processing unit Y shown in FIG. 3, the four tubular bodies of the first tubular body 10a, the second tubular body 10b, the third tubular body 10c, and the fourth tubular body 10d may be stacked. . In this case, between the first tubular body 10a and the second tubular body 10b, between the second tubular body 10b and the third tubular body 10c, and between the third tubular body 10c and the fourth tubular body 10d, respectively. Central magnets 20a, 20b, and 20c are provided. And the 1st outer side magnet 30a and the 2nd outer side magnet 30b are each provided in the surface facing the center magnet of the tubular body of an edge part.
FIG. 4 shows a fluid magnetic processing apparatus YA formed using this fluid magnetic processing unit Y. The front view of the fluid magnetic processing apparatus YA is shown. Since the fluid magnetic processing apparatus YA has a large number of shared central magnets, it is more advantageous from the viewpoint of miniaturization and weight reduction.
