Patent granted for a pipe cleaning assembly with rotatable bonnet
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11772139B2) describes a pipe cleaning assembly that includes a connection fixture and a bonnet. The connection fixture has a body with multiple apertures and connection flanges. The bonnet is inserted through one of the apertures and can rotate within it to selectively direct fluid flow through the assembly.
When the bonnet is in the first position, it directs fluid between two apertures and prevents fluid flow to auxiliary apertures. In the third position, the bonnet directs fluid between two different apertures and includes a plate to block flow through another aperture. In the second position, the bonnet directs fluid between two specific apertures and prevents flow through the remaining apertures.
The pipe cleaning assembly also includes a filter positioned between the bonnet and one of the apertures to trap debris and prevent clogging. Additionally, an actuator is mounted to the bonnet, allowing for control of the bonnet's position. A valve plug secured to the actuator shaft within the bonnet can be moved to either allow or prevent fluid flow through the bonnet.
Overall, this pipe cleaning assembly provides a versatile and efficient solution for directing fluid flow within a pipe system. The ability to rotate and position the bonnet allows for precise control over the direction of fluid flow, while the inclusion of a filter helps to maintain the cleanliness and functionality of the assembly. The actuator and valve plug further enhance the control and functionality of the assembly, making it a valuable tool for pipe cleaning and maintenance.
