Abstract

The invention relates to a drainage-body unit having at least one drainage-body element ( 10 ), at least one first shaft element ( 11 ) and at least one second shaft element ( 12 ), wherein a treatment element ( 13 ) is located in the first shaft element ( 1 ) between a fluid inlet ( 14 ), and a fluid outlet ( 15 ), a throttle element ( 16 ) is located in the second shaft element ( 12 ) between a fluid inlet ( 17 ) and a fluid outlet ( 18 ), and the shaft elements ( 11, 12 ) are or can be fluidically connected to one or more drainage-body elements ( 10 ).

Claims (27)

1. A drainage-body unit with at least one drainage-body element ( 10 ), at least one first shaft element ( 11 ), and at least one second shaft element ( 12 ), wherein

a treatment element ( 13 ) is located in the first shaft element ( 11 ) between a fluid inlet ( 14 ) and a fluid outlet ( 15 ),

a guide and/or support device ( 20 ) for the treatment element ( 13 ) is located in the first shaft element ( 11 ), the guide and/or support device ( 20 ) divides the first shaft element ( 11 ) into a treated side and an untreated side, the guide and/or support device ( 20 ) comprises a pipe fluid-tightly connected to the fluid inlet ( 14 ) of the first shaft element ( 11 ) on the untreated side, and has an opening ( 23 ) on the treated side, which forms a fluid connection with the fluid outlet ( 15 ) of the first shaft element ( 11 ),

a throttle element ( 16 ) is located in the second shaft element ( 12 ) between a fluid inlet ( 17 ) and a fluid outlet ( 18 ), and

the shaft elements ( 11 , 12 ) are fluid-connected or fluid-connectable to one or several drainage-body elements ( 10 ).

2. The drainage-body unit according to claim 1 , characterized in that the shaft elements ( 11 , 12 ) and the drainage-body element ( 10 ), or several drainage-body elements ( 10 ), are integrated in a single, uniformly manageable component.

3. The drainage-body unit according to claim 1 or 2 , characterized in that the drainage-body element ( 10 ), or several drainage-body elements ( 10 ), are located between the shaft elements ( 11 , 12 ).

4. The drainage-body unit according to claim 1 , characterized in that the shaft elements ( 11 , 12 ) and the drainage-body element ( 10 ), or several drainage-body elements ( 10 ), are located on a same level.

5. The drainage-body unit according to claim 1 , characterized in that the fluid inlet ( 14 ) of the first shaft element ( 11 ), and the fluid outlet ( 18 ) of the second shaft element ( 12 ) are located on different levels.

6. The drainage-body unit according to claim 1 , characterized in that the fluid inlets ( 14 , 17 ) and the fluid outlets ( 15 , 18 ) are each arranged horizontally.

7. The drainage-body unit according to claim 1 , characterized in that the fluid connection of the shaft elements ( 11 , 12 ) to the drainage-body element(s) ( 10 ) forms a direct connection through immediately adjacent wall openings.

8. The drainage-body unit according to claim 1 , characterized in that the shaft elements ( 11 , 12 ) are designed as shaft substructures, each having an access opening providing access from above, a closed bottom and closed walls, where the fluid inlets ( 14 , 17 ) and the fluid outlets ( 15 , 18 ) are located.

9. The drainage-body unit according to claim 1 , characterized in that the shaft elements ( 11 , 12 ) have shaft structures ( 19 ).

10. The drainage-body unit according to claim 1 , characterized in that the treatment element ( 13 ) has at least means for treating fluid from a slotted-screen group, means for sedimentation, means for adsorption, and means for mechanical pretreatment.

11. The drainage-body unit according to claim 1 , characterized in that the throttle element ( 16 ) comprises a controlled throttle element, which is connected to a servomotor ( 21 ).

12. The drainage-body unit according to claim 11 , characterized in that the servomotor ( 21 ) is located above the second shaft element ( 12 ).

13. The drainage-body unit according to claim 1 , characterized in that the throttle element ( 16 ) is connected on the outlet side to the fluid outlet ( 18 ) of the second shaft element ( 12 ) in a fluid-tight manner.

14. The drainage-body unit according to claim 1 , characterized in that the throttle element ( 16 ) comprises a throttle valve or a throttle with a knife gate valve or a throttle for mechanical pipe formation.

15. A drainage-body system comprising several drainage-body elements and at least one drainage-body unit according to claim 1 , which is connected to the drainage-body elements.

16. The drainage-body unit according to claim 1 , the throttle element ( 16 ) is connected to a servomotor ( 21 ) and fluid-tightly connected to the fluid outlet ( 18 ).

17. A drainage-body unit with at least one drainage-body element ( 10 ), at least one first shaft element ( 11 ), and at least one second shaft element ( 12 ), wherein

a treatment element ( 13 ) is located in the first shaft element ( 11 ) between a fluid inlet ( 14 ) and a fluid outlet ( 15 ),

a guide and/or support device ( 20 ) for the treatment element ( 13 ) is located in the first shaft element ( 11 ), the guide and/or support device ( 20 ) divides the first shaft element ( 11 ) into a treated side and an untreated side, and the guide and/or support device ( 20 ) has guide or support rails, in which the treatment element ( 13 ) is located,

a throttle element ( 16 ) is located in the second shaft element ( 12 ) between a fluid inlet ( 17 ) and a fluid outlet ( 18 ), and

the shaft elements ( 11 , 12 ) are fluid-connected or fluid-connectable to one or several drainage-body elements ( 10 ).

18. The drainage-body unit according to claim 17 , the guide and/or support device ( 20 ) is fluid-tightly connected to the fluid inlet ( 14 ) of the first shaft element ( 11 ) on the untreated side, and has an opening ( 23 ) on the treated side, which forms a fluid connection with the fluid outlet ( 15 ) of the first shaft element ( 11 ).
