Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. It is to be noted that the same elements among the drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals whenever possible. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail.

FIG. 1 is a view showing the structure of a cleaning apparatus 100 using a gas mixture liquid according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a cleaning apparatus 100 using a gas mixture liquid according to an embodiment of FIG. Fig.

1 and 2, a cleaning apparatus 100 using a gas mixture liquid according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first inlet 110, a second inlet 120, a mixing port 130, (140).

Liquid such as water supplied from an external supply pipe connected to the first inlet 110 flows into the first inlet 110 and the liquid that has flowed into the inside of the washing apparatus 100 through the first inlet 110 passes through the first inlet 110, And mixed with gas such as carbon dioxide gas or nitrogen gas introduced from the second inlet 120 in the mixing port 130.

The liquid mixed with the gas in the mixing port 130 is supplied to the discharge pipe (not shown) connected to the discharge port 140 through the discharge port 140 and the gas mixture discharged through the discharge port 140 The cleaning water, which is liquid, cleans and cleans the interior of various industrial pipes connected to the discharge pipe.

Industrial pipes that can be cleaned and cleaned through the washing water discharged through the cleaning device 100 according to the present invention are used for the piping of the ship oil pipeline, the sewage sludge treatment facility, the internal piping of the construction plant facility, and the food and beverage equipment such as beer And a foreign matter such as scale and the like deposited on the inside of various industrial pipes can be cleaned by the cleaning device 100 according to the present invention.

Meanwhile, the washing water supplied to the inside of the pipe to be cleaned through the discharge port 140 of the washing apparatus 100 according to the present invention is accompanied by a pulsating phenomenon and is discharged to the inside of the pipe to be cleaned.

The pulsation phenomenon in the present invention is a phenomenon in which the pressure of the liquid and the discharge amount periodically fluctuate in the flow of the liquid without free water surface in the pipe, which causes periodic vibration in the pipe.

There are various causes of such a pulsation phenomenon, but it is known that such a phenomenon occurs when a discharge pipe of a pipe is long and there is a portion where air such as an air pocket is stuck inside the pipe.

On the other hand, such a pulsation phenomenon is a factor that hinders the smooth flow of the fluid in the tube. Generally, a method for preventing the pulsation phenomenon such as removing the air in the pipe, adjusting the cross-sectional area, flow rate, However, the present invention proposes a method of washing and cleaning the inside of a pipe through the vibration generated by the pulsation phenomenon and the amount of the impact applied to the pipe wall.

That is, the present inventors have found that, in a state in which liquid such as water is supplied to the mixing port 130 having the same shape and size as those shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 through the first inlet 110, The cleaning water discharged through the discharge port 140 of the cleaning apparatus 100 when the gas such as carbon dioxide gas is forcibly injected through the second inlet 120 is accompanied by a pulsation phenomenon, As shown in Fig.

In order to increase the effect of cleaning and sterilizing by the washing water discharged through the discharge port 140, the present invention is applied to the mixing bowl 130 through the second inlet 120 and mixed with the liquid It is preferable that the gas is a gas such as carbon dioxide gas which is bubbled to a very fine size.

That is, if the gas such as carbon dioxide gas forms fine bubbles in the liquid, the effect of cleaning and disinfection by the washing water can be further increased. For this purpose, in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, The sintered body 150 may be disposed between the mixing chamber 120 and the mixing chamber 130.

Specifically, the gas such as carbon dioxide gas supplied through the second inlet 120 is separated into micro-sized fine particles while passing through the sintered body 150, and the gas separated into fine particles flows through the first inlet 110 By mixing the introduced liquid with the mixing hole 130, the washing water discharged through the discharge port 140 contains microbubbles due to carbon dioxide gas or the like.

On the other hand, according to the experiment in the process of the present invention, when the washing water is discharged with the pulsation phenomenon, the microbubbles contained in the washing water do not easily disappear as compared with the case where the washing water does not cause the pulsation phenomenon, It has been confirmed that even through a long flow path, microbubbles are used for cleaning and sterilizing.

In the present invention, various microbubbing devices or means may be used in addition to the sintered body 150 to allow the microbubbles to be contained in the liquid mixed with the gas in the mixing hole 130.

3 is a view showing an installation structure of a cleaning apparatus 100 using a gas mixture liquid according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The basic structure and function of the cleaning apparatus 100 using the gas mixture liquid according to another embodiment of the present invention in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, 3, a second inlet 120 into which the gas is introduced in the cleaning apparatus 100 using the gas mixture liquid according to another embodiment of the present invention is provided with a reverse flow chamber (not shown) 125 are additionally provided.

When the gas does not flow through the second inlet 120, the reverse flow chamber 125 is connected to the second inlet 120 by the elastic member 127 such as a spring that resiliently supports the reverse flow chamber 125, The liquid in the mixing port 130 is prevented from flowing backward through the second inlet 120 by blocking the second inlet 120 inside the second inlet 120. [
