However, the vacuum pump 1
When using No. 4, the pumpable head Hd is limited to about 10 m in the case of water. Even if the inside of the suction tube 50 can be completely evacuated by the vacuum pump 14, even under the atmospheric pressure (standard atmospheric pressure: 760 mmHg = 1013.25 hPah1)
At 0.33 tf / m 2 ), the height Hc of the water column pushed up from the water surface H0 into the vacuum pumping tube is about 10 m. Therefore, when the head Hd is 10 m or more, the liquid cannot be pumped by the vacuum pump 14 alone.
For this reason, when pumping liquid from a depth exceeding 10 m, it is necessary to install a vortex pump, a reciprocating pump, a jet pump, etc. in the depth near the suction part to pump the liquid. There is a problem that an expensive device is required.

This apparatus has a vacuum pump 1 as a pressure reducing means.
And a pumping pipe 10 connected to the vacuum pump 14 and having a suction port 10a at the lower end inserted into a liquid source 30 such as water collected underground. Further, the pumping pipe 10 has a liquid surface H0 and a natural height Hc of the liquid column in the vacuum pumping pipe.

When the suction port 10a of the pumping tube 10 is inserted into the liquid source 30 and the vacuum pump 14 is driven, the air in the water-sealed tank 16 and the pumping tube 10 communicated with the vacuum pump 14 are discharged.

Here, when the air supply valve is opened for a short period of time and, for example, atmospheric pressure air is introduced as a positive pressure gas into the liquid pumping pipe 10 at the point x, the introduced gas bubbles cause the liquid in the liquid pumping pipe 10 to be opened. The liquid column having the height Hc is vertically divided near the height Hx. Since the gas bubble rises in the tube due to the pressure difference between the pressure in the pumping tube at the height Hx and the pressure of the gas bubble at that position and the buoyancy received by the gas bubble, the liquid column is once broken by the gas bubble. The liquid column having a length of less than Hc above the liquid column is vigorously pushed upward by gas bubbles, and the liquid is pumped up to a height Hd exceeding the height Hc (natural liquid level c in the vacuum tube), It will accumulate in the tank 16.

If the air supply valve is repeatedly opened and closed while the vacuum pump 14 is driven in this manner, gas bubbles are intermittently introduced into the liquid pumping tube 10 which has become a negative pressure. The liquid column of Hc is sequentially divided, the liquid is pumped up to a height exceeding Hc, and a pump Hd whose head Hd exceeds the natural height Hc of the liquid column in the vacuum tube is obtained.

In FIG. 2, a gas introducing means 20 includes an air supply pipe 22 inserted halfway through the liquid pumping pipe 10 and an air supply pipe 22 for intermittently discharging gas from the gas supply pipe 22 into the liquid pumping pipe.
An opening / closing valve 24 whose operation timing is controlled by an n-off timer 26 is provided. The lower end of the air supply pipe 22 inserted into the liquid supply pipe 10 constitutes a gas discharge port, which is higher than the liquid level H0 of the liquid source 30 and lower than the height Hc of the liquid column in the vacuum tube.

The air supply pipe 22 is positioned and fixed with respect to 0. In addition, in the structure of FIG. 2, although one gas supply pipe 22 is inserted into the liquid pumping pipe 10, a plurality of gas supply pipes may be inserted.
Also, a configuration in which a plurality of gas discharge ports are provided in one air supply pipe 22 can be adopted. In any case, the gas discharge port of the air supply pipe 22 needs to be set at a position higher than the water surface H0 and lower than the natural height Hc of the liquid column in the vacuum tube.

Next, the operation will be described. First, FIG.
Similarly, the suction port 10a of the liquid pumping tube 10 is inserted into the liquid source 30 at a lower position, the pipe valve 12 and the open / close valve 24 are closed, and the vacuum pump 14 is driven. After the air in the tank 16 is exhausted and the pressure is reduced and becomes constant at a predetermined negative pressure, the pipeline valve 12 is opened. Then, the pumping tube 10
Quickly draws up liquid from the liquid source 30 and pumps
The height of the liquid column pumped into the inside is about Hc corresponding to the natural height of the liquid column in the negative pressure (vacuum) tube. When the pipe valve 12 is opened, the pumping pipe 10 instantaneously pumps liquid. Therefore, the inside of the air supply pipe 22 is filled with gas (for example, air) up to the vicinity of the gas discharge port.

Next, the on-off timer 26 is operated to open the opening / closing valve 24 intermittently (for example, the opening time is 0.63 sec and the closing time is 10.01 sec). When the open / close valve 24 is opened, gas bubbles 32 blow out from the gas discharge port of the air supply pipe 22. Since the open / close valve 24 is opened only for a short period of time and the vacuum pump 14 continues to operate, the pressure in the pipe that has once risen by the blowing of the positive pressure gas bubbles 32 increases as soon as the open / close valve 24 closes. It returns to the predetermined negative pressure.

The gas bubbles 32 expand as they ascend in the pumping tube, and a plurality of intermittently discharged gas bubbles 32 gather as they ascend to form a shell that eventually occupies the inner diameter of the pumping tube 10. A gas bubble (slag flow) of a mold is formed, and this slag flow rises in the pumping pipe.

The maximum possible height of the liquid column in the tube under reduced pressure is approximately Hc, and this liquid column is divided on the way by the slag flow 34. Therefore, the upper length of the divided liquid column is For example, if the slag flow 34 is generated at the point b, “Hc−Hb” is obtained. Therefore, this "H"
The water column having a length of c-Hb "can rise in the liquid pumping tube in a negative pressure state. Further, the pressure in the liquid pumping tube 10 becomes lower as it goes closer to the vacuum pump 14 as it goes upward. As the slug flow 34 rises in the pipe, it expands and the rising speed at its upper end increases.

By opening the air supply pipe opening / closing valve 24 once, the air bubbles 32 blown out from the air supply pipe 22 move from the point a (point 2.5 m in height) to a point about 1.7 m to 2.1 m in height. Although it descended about 50 cm, the pumping pipe 10
Rose. In addition, the bubbles 32 expand when rising, and the plurality of bubbles 32 gather to form a slag flow 34 as shown in FIG. 3, whereby the water column having a height Hc in the pumping pipe 10 becomes Hc.
The slag flow 34 was divided into shorter lengths, and rose in the liquid pumping tube 10 while pushing up the divided upper water.

In a section around 0.5 to 0.6 m / sec and around 5.5 to 9 m, V2 was about 0.8 to 1.1 m / sec. As the negative pressure in the pumping pipe 10 increases, the rising speed increases. In the apparatus of FIG. 2, as described above, the negative pressure increases toward the vacuum pump 14 as it goes above the liquid supply pipe 10, so that the rising speed of the slag flow 34 increases as it rises. In addition, the length L of the slag flow when the end of the slag flow 34 passes 5.5 m from the water surface H0 (point b in FIG. 2) was as long as about 2.8 m to 4.0 m.

As described above, in the present invention, the pressure in the pumping pipe is reduced by the pressure reducing means, and the positive pressure is set in the pipe at a position higher than the lower water surface and lower than the natural height of the liquid column in the vacuum pipe. By intermittently introducing a gas (for example, air) having a pressure of, for example, atmospheric pressure or more, the liquid column is divided into a length that can be pumped up in the pumping pipe.

If the gas supply means is constituted by inserting an air supply pipe into the liquid supply pipe and providing a valve for controlling the supply of air to the gas supply pipe, most of the gas introduction means is accommodated in the liquid supply pipe. As a result, the apparatus is convenient to carry, and the possibility of damage to the gas introduction means is reduced. Furthermore, since the pumping pipe is used by extending it underground, sufficient strength is required, but the air supply pipe is located inside the pumping pipe, so if gas can be discharged at a predetermined position, extra high strength is required. It is not required, and the range of material selection is wide. Therefore, it is very advantageous to reduce the manufacturing cost of the vacuum pumping device.

Further, in the present invention, the suction port, which is the lower end of the pumping tube, may be inserted into a lower liquid source and gas may be introduced in the middle of the pumping tube. Since the gas introducing means may be arranged at a relatively high position, the liquid can be pumped by inserting the tip of the liquid pumping pipe even from a narrow and deep place. In particular, in a configuration in which the gas supply pipe is inserted into the liquid supply pipe and gas is discharged from the gas supply pipe into the liquid supply pipe, the liquid is pumped up from a very narrow place where the liquid supply pipe can be inserted. It is possible.
