A DEVICE FOR CONTROL OF FLOW OF LIQUIDS

Abstract A device for controlling the flow of liquids is disclosed. The device for control of flow of liquid comprises, two magnets which are connected to each other such that if one magnet moves down then the other magnet also slides down, a plastic/glass jacket which houses the cylindrical shaped iron for the movement of flaps i.e. the opening and closing, the two flaps placed at equidistance and a spring that helps to release and close the process of flow of fluid. In this device the control of flow of liquids is done with the help of magnets wherein when the button is pressed though electric or mechanical means, upper magnet slides down along with the lower magnet creating a magnetic field which moves the cylinder up into the plastic jacket along with the two flaps allowing the flow of liquid and when the pressure is removed upper magnet and the lower magnet move up to their original positions creating a field in the opposite direction, this field and the force of gravity help in pulling down the iron cylinder and the flaps back to their position completely shutting the flow of liquids.
Full Text BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention particularly relates to the device for control of flow of liquids, and more particularly, to the control of flow of liquids with the help of magnets fixed on the body of the device in such a way that similar poles of the magnets face each other wherein when the button is pressed through electric switching means, iron cylinder with coil magnetizes and is attracted towards the upper magnet thus iron cylinder moves up into the plastic jacket allowing the flow of liquids; when the current in the coil is stopped, the iron cylinder demagnetizes and comes back to its original position completely shutting the flow of liquids and the present inventions does not have seams on the body so there is no leakage of water.
2. Description of the Related Art
In general, people use taps for controlling the flow of liquids wherein we have to turn the knob to control the flow of liquid or to stop the flow of liquid. The tap can control the flow of liquids such as water but it is not effective in controlling liquids which are very volatile or corrosive such as alcohol, acetone, oil, acids etc.. These liquids tend to evaporate very quickly and the mechanism does not stop the flow of liquids completely leading to a lot of wastage. When this method is used for controlling the flow of hot volatile liquids, the tap mechanism also gets heated up.
The other disadvantage with the tap method is that it is controlled externally and there is always the problem of the mechanism getting corroded by any corrosive liquid especially when there is rubber or any other material. Also there are seams in these devices and the breakdown of this mechanism leads to lot of wastage as the liquid tends to leak.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
To solve the above-described problems, it is an objective of the present invention to provide a device for control of flow of fluids which has an improved structure capable of preventing wastage of liquids as the present inventions does not have seams so there is no leakage of water and to ensure safety of human beings against inflammable liquids. It is one of the objective of the present invention to also help in controlling the large volume of liquids. In the present invention the control of flow of liquids is done with the help of magnets wherein when the button is pressed through electric switching means, a current is induced in the coil wound around the iron cylinder so that the iron cylinder behaves as a temporary magnet and its poles are adjusted such that it is repelled by the lower magnet and attracted by the upper magnet. So the iron cylinder moves up into the plastic jacket due to attraction by the upper magnet and repulsion by the lower magnet thus allowing the flow of liquid. This plastic jacket can be made up of any material which does not demagnetize the two magnets preferably plastic. The cylinder which is placed in the center is made up of iron and can be encased in glass fitting properly and snugly. The two flaps are made up of iron and help to prevent the flow of liquid. When the current in the coil is stopped, the iron cylinder demagnetizes and comes back to its original position due to force of gravity and due to the attraction by the lower magnet and thus shutting the flow of liquids.
A device for control of flow of liquids comprising two magnets (la, lb), plastic jacket (05), cylindrical shaped magnetizable iron with magnetizing coil (06) and springs(03) wherein the two magnets(la,lb) are fixed on the body of the device and are placed such that similar poles face each other; the upper magnet(la) is connected to the plastic jacket through springs wherein through known electric switching means, a current is induced in the coil wound around the iron cylinder so that the iron cylinder behaves as a temporary magnet and its poles are adjusted such that it is repelled by the lower magnet(lb) and attracted by the upper magnet(la); the iron cylinder(06) is moved up into the plastic jacket(05) allowing the flow of liquids and when the current in the coil is stopped, the iron cylinder demagnetizes and comes back to the original position due to force of gravity and due to the attraction by the lower magnet(lb), completely shutting the flow of liquids.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Now, a device for controlling the flow of liquids according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and according to the method will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawing.
FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically illustrating the flow of liquid at standstill when the button is not pressed.
Referring to FIG. 1, a device for control of flow of liquids according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is comprised of two magnets: magnet la and magnet lb, spring 03, plastic jacket 05, cylindrical shaped solid iron with coil 06 and two iron flaps 07.
When a current is induced in the coil wound around the iron cylinder (06) through known electric switching means, the iron cylinder behaves as a temporary magnet and its poles are adjusted such that it is repelled by the lower magnet and attracted by the upper magnet thus the cylinder moves up into the plastic jacket(05) along with the two flaps. Once this process is done then the flow of liquid is ensured.
To stop the flow of the liquid the current in the coil is stopped, the iron cylinder (06) is demagnetized and comes back to the Original position due to force of gravity and due to the attraction by the lower magnet, completely shutting the flow of liquids. The spring helps them in moving back to their original position. There are no seams on the body so there is no leakage of water.
While this invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
