Description

  The present invention relates to a fluid magnetic processing apparatus in which a magnetic field is applied to a fluid to apply molecular pressure to each component of the fluid to promote dissociation and activation of each component at the molecular level. .

  Conventionally, fuel is reformed by applying a magnetic field to fluids such as petroleum fuel, improving fuel efficiency and reducing undesirable emissions in exhaust gas, and applying magnetic fields to fluids such as water, liquor and milk Therefore, attempts are made to improve the taste and quality thereof, and various types of magnetic processing apparatuses have been proposed.

  In such a magnetic processing apparatus, since the processing capability is considered to depend on the strength of the magnetic field acting perpendicularly to the fluid flow direction, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses the same as one holding case containing a magnet. Magnetic processing that applies a magnetic field perpendicular to the flow direction of the fluid flowing through the connecting pipe by sandwiching the connecting pipe through which the fluid flows by connecting the other holding case containing the magnet with each other facing each other. An apparatus is disclosed.

  Further, in Patent Document 2, a plurality of annular permanent magnets are arranged in a casing and a flow path is formed around the magnets to allow fuel to pass in the axial direction. Along with the introduction of the prior art for magnetically processing the passing fuel, a magnetic processing device is disclosed in which a magnetic field is generated by an electromagnet instead of this permanent magnet in order to strengthen the magnetic field lines and increase the temperature of the fuel. ing.

  By the way, in the magnetic processing apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1, the magnetic field is applied perpendicularly to the flow direction with the magnets facing each other, but a connecting pipe through which a fluid flows is disposed between the facing magnets. Therefore, there is a limit in reducing the distance between the magnetic poles of the magnet, and it is not sufficient to enhance the magnetic treatment effect.

  Moreover, in the magnetic processing apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 2, although a plurality of magnets are stacked in the casing, a flow path through which fuel passes is formed in the axial direction around the magnets. The magnetic flux applied to the magnetic pole must be alternated with a short distance between the magnetic poles, which is not sufficient to enhance the magnetic treatment effect.

  Then, the subject of this invention is providing the fluid magnetic processing apparatus which can raise the magnetic processing effect to a fluid more efficiently.

One form of the fluid magnetic processing apparatus according to the present invention for solving the above-described problems includes a cylindrical container having a fluid inlet at one end and a fluid outlet at the other end, and a plurality of magnets arranged in the cylindrical container. A plurality of magnets each having a magnetic pole arranged along the axis of the cylindrical container, and a plurality of magnets in a direction perpendicular to the axis between the opposite magnetic poles of adjacent magnets. A holding means for holding the magnet so as to form a flow path; a central opening for holding the magnet at a central position of the cylindrical container with both magnetic poles exposed; and a radial shift from the central opening A holding member having a passage opening formed at a certain position, and a spacer member that is disposed between the holding members and sets a channel thickness in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical container between the magnetic poles. And .

According to this embodiment, the fluid flowing in from the fluid inlet at one end of the cylindrical container is held by the holding means in the plurality of magnets in which the respective magnetic poles are arranged along the axis in the cylindrical container. The fluid flows out from the fluid outlet at the other end of the cylindrical container through a flow path formed between the opposing magnetic poles of adjacent magnets. The adjacent magnetic poles of the adjacent magnets can be set to a small interval or distance, and extremely strong lines of magnetic force are exerted on the flow path in the direction perpendicular to the axis formed there. Then, the fluid that has passed through the flat plate-like channel formed between the magnetic poles in the exposed state of the magnet held in the central opening at the central position of the holding member was formed at a position shifted in the radial direction from the central opening. It flows into the flow path between the opposing magnetic poles with the next adjacent magnet through the passage opening. Therefore, the magnetic flux density applied to the fluid is extremely high, and the magnetic treatment effect can be enhanced. Further, it is possible to easily form a long inter-magnetic-pole channel and set the channel thickness in the cylindrical container .

  In addition, it is preferable that the holding member is arranged with the passage openings alternately having a phase difference of 180 degrees so that a rectangular pulse-shaped flow path is formed in the cylindrical container in a side view.

  According to this embodiment, it is possible to efficiently form a long inter-pole flow path in the cylindrical container by simply arranging the holding members having the same shape with a phase difference of 180 degrees alternately.

  Further, both the holding member and the spacer member may be made of high-density hard plastic, and the magnet may be made of neodymium steel, and at least a magnetic pole surface that contacts the fluid may be chrome plated.

  According to this embodiment, a high-intensity magnetic field can be obtained, and even if the fluid to be treated is water, liquor, milk or the like, the contamination of rust and the like is prevented and is hygienic.

  Moreover, the outer case which covers the said cylindrical container is further provided, and the thermal barrier may be filled between this outer case and the said cylindrical container.

  According to this aspect, even when the fluid magnetic processing apparatus is used in a high-temperature environment, the transfer of heat into the cylindrical container is suppressed, so that a magnet that is vulnerable to heat can be protected.

  The heat shield may be an antifreeze.

  According to this aspect, it is convenient because the hydromagnetic processing apparatus is easily available when used for reforming fuel in a vehicle.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As a material, neodymium steel capable of generating a magnetic force (3500 to 4500 gauss) with higher strength than ferromanganese steel is used. Moreover, the surface is chrome-plated and rust-proofed.

  Next, the holding member 30 that holds the magnet 20 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. 2A is a front view of the holding member 30, FIG. 2B is a rear view thereof, FIG. 2C is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. 2A, and FIG. ) Is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. The holding member 30 also has a basic shape of a column or a cylinder, has an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical container 10 and a thickness or height slightly higher than the magnet 20, and is a high density hard plastic. It is formed by injection molding etc. with the material.

  The holding member 30 is formed with a central opening 31 for holding the magnet 20 at the center position with the magnetic poles (N pole 20N and S pole 20S) exposed, and the holding member 30 in the central opening 31 is formed. An annular rib 32 is formed on the rear side edge of the magnet 20 to prevent the magnet 20 from falling off. A passage opening 33 penetrating the front and back is formed on one side of the position shifted from the central opening 31 in the radial direction. As is clear from FIG. 2A, the passage opening 33 has a so-called partial fan-shaped cross-sectional shape surrounded by concentric inner and outer circular arc lines and two radial lines in a front view. Further, on the surface side of the holding member 30, a concave portion 34 having a partial fan shape in cross section is formed on the other side of the position shifted in the radial direction from the central opening 31 in a rotationally symmetrical relationship with the passage opening 33. In addition, approximately crescent-shaped depressions 35 and 35 surrounded by arc lines and strings are formed on both sides of the center line BB. On the other hand, recesses 36, 36 are formed on the back surface side of the holding member 30 in a back-to-back manner with the recesses 35, 35 (see FIGS. 2A and 2D). A lip portion 37 that is slightly enlarged in diameter so as to be substantially equal to the inner diameter of the cylindrical container 10 is formed on the outer peripheral edge portion on the back surface side of the holding member 30.

  A spacer member 40 that sets the thickness of the flow path 60 that is disposed between the holding members 30 and formed between the magnetic poles of the magnet 20 will be described with reference to FIG. 3. Here, FIG. 3A is a front view of the spacer member 40, FIG. 3B is the back view, FIG. 3C is the side view, and FIG. 3D is C in FIG. FIG.

  The spacer member 40 has a circular bowl-like basic shape and the same diameter as the holding member 30, and a vertically long opening 41 having a slightly narrower gap than the diameter of the central opening 31 in the holding member 30 is a center line (holding member 30. (Which coincides with the BB line, which is the center line). That is, the opening 41 has a cross-sectional shape surrounded by two chord portions 41A and 41A symmetrical to the center line and two arc portions 41B and 41B having the same diameter.

  Further, on the back surface side of the spacer member 40, substantially crescent-shaped protrusions 42, 42 that are fitted into substantially crescent-shaped depressions 35, 35 formed on the front surface side of the holding member 30 are formed. . On the other hand, on the front surface side of the spacer member 40, the substantially crescent-shaped protrusions 42 and 42 are fitted back to the substantially crescent-shaped recesses 36 and 36 formed on the back surface side of the holding member 30 in a back-to-back manner. Similarly, substantially crescent-shaped protrusions 43, 43 are formed. Further, small protrusions 44 and 44 having a crescent shape are formed in the protrusions 43 and 43 in a similar relationship to the crescent shape of the outer shape.

  Thus, when assembling the fluid magnetic processing apparatus 100, first, the individual magnets 20 are inserted into the central openings 31 of the individual holding members 30 from the surface side in a state in which the directions of the magnetic poles are aligned. Then, the outer peripheral edge of one magnetic pole (for example, 20N) surface of the magnet 20 abuts on the annular rib 32, and the magnet 20 has the magnetic pole 20N on the back surface side of the holding member 30 and the magnetic pole 20S on the front surface side of the holding member 30. It is held at the center position of the holding member 30 in an exposed state.

  After preparing the required number of holding members 30 in which the magnets 20 are inserted and held in this way, the spacer members 40 are interposed between the individual holding members 30, and the assembly is performed in order. In this case, substantially crescent-shaped protrusions 42, 42 formed on the back surface side of the spacer member 40 are fitted into the substantially crescent-shaped recesses 35, 35 formed on the front surface side of the holding member 30. The substantially crescent-shaped protrusions 43, 43 formed on the front surface side of the spacer member 40 are fitted into the substantially crescent-shaped recesses 36, 36 formed on the back surface side of the member 30. Then, as shown in FIG. 4B, the annular rib 32 on the back surface side of the holding member 30 is brought into contact with the two string portions 41 </ b> A and 41 </ b> A on the surface of the spacer member 40, and at the same time is flush with the surface of the holding member 30. Further, both end edges of the magnetic pole 20S of the magnet 20 are brought into contact with the two chord portions 41A and 41A on the back surface of the spacer member 40, and the two chord portions 41A and 41A in the width direction are between the magnetic pole 20S and the magnetic pole 20N. A flat plate-like flow path 60 regulated by the above is formed. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4A, adjacent holding members 30 are arranged with a phase difference of 180 degrees so that the position of the passage opening 33 can be changed up and down.

  On the other hand, the holding member 30 and the spacer member 40 assembled as described above are sequentially accommodated in the cylindrical container 10, and the lid member 11 to which the fluid inlet member 12 and the fluid outlet member 14 are respectively attached is provided. A magnetic processing apparatus is formed by being attached to both ends. In this case, rattling of the holding member 30 is prevented by the lip portion 37 formed on the holding member 30 with an outer diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of the cylindrical container 10. Furthermore, an outer case 50 that covers the cylindrical container 10 is provided as necessary, and a space 52 between the outer case 50 and the cylindrical container 10 is filled with a heat shielding agent such as an antifreeze liquid depending on the application. The

  In the magnetic processing apparatus according to the present embodiment formed as described above, when a fluid is introduced through the fluid inlet member 12, the fluid is first radially introduced from the central opening 31 of the holding member 30 on the upstream side. After passing through the passage opening 33 formed at the shifted position, it flows into the flat channel 60 formed between the opposing magnetic poles 20S and 20N of the adjacent magnet 20, and then the holding member on the downstream side It flows into 30 passage openings 33. Thus, the fluid flowing in from the fluid inlet member 12 flows in the cylindrical container 10 through a flow path formed in a rectangular pulse shape in a side view of the cylindrical container 10 as shown in FIG. 14 will flow out.

  When the fluid flows through the flow path formed in the rectangular pulse shape, the fluid flows in the fluid in the flat flow path 60 having a very small interval or distance between the opposing magnetic poles (20N, 20S) of the adjacent magnets 20. Since extremely strong magnetic field lines are applied perpendicular to the direction, magnetic treatment of the fluid is effectively performed with high efficiency. Further, even in the cylindrical container 10 having a limited volume, the magnetic field lines in the same direction can be repeatedly applied as many times as the number of pairs of adjacent magnets 20. Therefore, when the fluid to be treated is a food such as milk or liquor, sugar can be extracted to improve the taste, and when it is a petroleum fuel such as light oil, the molecules can be crushed to improve combustion.
