In addition, the term " coupled " is used not only in the case of direct physical contact between the respective constituent elements in the contact relation between the constituent elements, but also means that other constituent elements are interposed between the constituent elements, Use them as a concept to cover each contact.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. In the present application, the terms "comprises" or "having" and the like are used to specify that there is a feature, a number, a step, an operation, an element, a component or a combination thereof described in the specification, But do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a flushing apparatus for pipes according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals designate like or corresponding components, A duplicate description will be omitted.

In order to remove foreign substances in the pipeline and to operate the equipment under optimal conditions, flushing operation is performed to remove foreign substances in the pipeline before operation. At this time, a flushing fluid such as gas / oil / water is injected into the pipeline.

In this way, the turbulent flow of the flushing fluid is induced to remove foreign substances in the pipeline. At this time, the turbulence size of the flushing fluid depends on the flow rate and viscosity. Generally, if the Reynolds number is 4,000 or more, stable turbulence can be formed, but it is difficult to adjust the flow rate and viscosity of the fluid to the desired value in actual situations.

For example, it is not possible to increase the flow rate of the flushing fluid freely in the field in a situation where the maximum pressure value that the constructed pipeline can withstand has already been determined. In order to lower the viscosity of the flushing fluid, the viscosity of the flushing fluid may be lowered by heating it before injecting the flushing fluid into the pipeline. When the length of the pipeline is considerably long, the temperature of the flushing fluid injected decreases with time, . In order to solve this problem, when the flushing work interval is shortened, there is a problem that the work flow for covering the entire line increases and time and cost increase.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram schematically showing a part of a pipeline, FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a portion A of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a cross- Fig.

Referring to FIG. 1, the pipeline 10 may include a plurality of pipes 11 and 12, and may further include a joint pipe 13 connecting the pipe and the pipe. Referring to FIG. 3, a flushing apparatus 1000 for a pipe according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first connection portion 100, a second connection portion 200, and a turbulent flow generating portion 300.

The first connection part 100 can be coupled to be disposed between the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12 forming the pipeline 10 in a longitudinally adjustable length configuration, The connecting portion 100 may be disposed in place of the joint pipe 13 in Fig.

The first connection part 100 and the second connection part 200 may form a tubular structure having both open ends.

Specifically, the length of the first connection part 100 is adjustable in the longitudinal direction so that the first connection part 100 can be easily coupled between the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12. To this end, the first connection part 100 may be formed of a flexible material. For example, the first connection part 100 may be formed in a corrugated pipe structure that can be expanded and contracted in the longitudinal direction. Accordingly, the length of the first connection part 100 can be easily varied as needed. In addition, the first connection part 100 may be made of a rubber pipe material that can be stretched and shrunk.

Therefore, the first connection part 100 can be easily changed in length, so that the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12 can be easily connected regardless of the distance between the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12. [ The pipe 12 can be easily connected.

Referring to FIG. 3, the second connection part 200 may be interposed between the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12 and the first connection part 100. The second connection part 200 may be made of a hard material such as metal to support the turbulence generation part 300 to be described later. Referring to the drawings, a turbulence generator 300 to be described later may be coupled to the second connection part 200.

The turbulence generating unit 300 can generate turbulence in the fluid passing through the pipeline 10 (i.e., the flushing fluid). The turbulence generating unit 300 includes a wing 310 rotatably supported in the second connection unit 200 and a driving unit for rotating the wing 310. The driving unit And a power supply unit (not shown) for supplying power.

Although not shown, a supporting structure (not shown) that can support the wing 310 can be provided in the second connection part 200. Such a support structure may be, for example, a support rod for rotatably supporting the wing portion 310.

In the turbulence generating unit 300, the driving unit may include, for example, a motor, and the operation of the motor may be controlled by a control unit (not shown).

4 is a view showing another example in which the flushing apparatus 1000 for pipes according to the embodiment of the present invention is installed.

Although FIG. 3 shows an example in which the flushing apparatus 1000 for pipes is disposed on the pipeline 10 having a U-shaped structure, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. As shown in FIG. 4, The flushing apparatus 1000 for pipes can be easily installed in the pipeline 10 having a straight structure.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to implement a flushing apparatus for a pipe, which allows the operator to control the viscosity of the flushing fluid more quickly at the worksite, regardless of predetermined design conditions of the already-installed pipeline, The inside of the pipeline can be easily cleaned without separately controlling the hydraulic pressure or viscosity of the fluid.

5 is a perspective view showing a flushing apparatus for pipes according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, in the pipe flushing apparatus 2000 according to another embodiment of the present invention, the first connection part 100 may be coupled to be movable along the length direction of the second connection part 200. This is because the first connection portion 100 is configured to be stretchable with respect to the second connection portion 200 so that the length of the first connection portion 100 can be adjusted in the longitudinal direction.

Specifically, the first connection part 100 may be formed in a structure that can be inserted into the end of the second connection part 200. As a result, the flushing apparatus 2000 for pipes can be used for connecting the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12 to each other. As a result, the first connection unit 100 can easily change the length with respect to the second connection unit 200, The first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12 can be easily connected to each other regardless of the distance between the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12.

Meanwhile, a sealing member (not shown) may be installed between the first connection part 100 and the second connection part 200. This is to prevent the flushing fluid from leaking through the gap between the first connection part 100 and the second connection part 200.

The flushing apparatus 2000 for pipes according to another embodiment of the present invention is the same as the flushing apparatus 1000 for pipes according to the embodiment of the present invention except for the detailed configuration described above, .

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the inventive concept as set forth in the appended claims. It will be understood that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
