Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A piping system is provided, connecting a plurality of scrubbers which are disposed on a supporting structure, including a collecting pipe and a drain pipe. The collecting pipe has a main body and a plurality of protrusions, wherein the main body has an outer surface and a first central axis. The protrusions are protruding from the outer surface, and the first central axis is perpendicular to the supporting structure. The collecting pipe communicates with the scrubbers via the protrusions. The drain pipe is disposed under the supporting structure and has a second central axis, wherein the collecting pipe is extended through the supporting structure and connects to the drain pipe, and the first central axis is perpendicular to the second central axis.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A piping system, comprising: a supporting structure; a plurality of scrubbers, disposed on the supporting structure; a collecting pipe, having a main body and a plurality of protrusions, wherein the main body has an outer surface and a first central axis, the protrusions protrude from the outer surface, the first central axis is perpendicular to the supporting structure, and the collecting pipe communicates with the scrubbers via the protrusions, wherein the protrusions are arranged to surround the outer surface; and a drain pipe, disposed under the supporting structure and having a second central axis, wherein the supporting structure is between the scrubbers and the drain pipe in a direction of the first central axis, the collecting pipe passes through the supporting structure, the bottom of the collecting pipe in the direction of the first central axis directly connects the drain pipe, and the first central axis is perpendicular to the second central axis. 2. The piping system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the main body and the protrusions are integrally formed in one piece. 3. The piping system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the collecting pipe has a diameter of 4 to 6 inches, and the protrusions have diameters of 0.5 to 1.5 inches. 4. The piping system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protrusions include a transparent material. 5. The piping system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one of the protrusions includes a main channel and a sub channel which are interconnected, the sub channel protrudes from a side of the main channel, and the main channel communicates with the collecting pipe. 6. The piping system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the collecting pipe includes a material which is polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, or phenol formaldehyde resin. 7. The piping system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of connecting pipes connecting the scrubbers to the collecting pipe, and the connecting pipes have a vertical flow section perpendicular to the supporting structure. 8. The piping system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a fence fixed to the supporting structure and surrounding the collecting pipe. 9. The piping system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a receiving groove disposed under the drain pipe, configured to receive a washing liquid leaking from the drain pipe. 10. The piping system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protrusions are arranged in a staggered manner on the outer surface. 11. The piping system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the protrusions is detachably connected to the main body. 12. The piping system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the support structure has a through hole, and the collecting pipe passes through the throughhole. 13. A piping system, comprising: a supporting structure; a plurality of scrubbers, disposed on the supporting structure; a collecting pipe, having a main body and a plurality of protrusions, wherein the main body has an outer surface and a first central axis, and the protrusions are disposed on the main body and protrude from the outer surface, wherein the protrusions are arranged to surround the outer surface; a plurality of connecting pipes, connecting the scrubbers to the collecting pipe, wherein the main body communicates with the scrubbers via the protrusions and the connecting pipes; and a drain pipe, disposed under the supporting structure and having a second central axis, and the supporting structure is between the scrubbers and the drain pipe in a direction of the first central axis, wherein the collecting pipe is perpendicular to and passes through the supporting structure and the bottom of the collecting pipe in the direction of the first central axis directly connects the drain pipe, and the first central axis is perpendicular to the second central axis. 14. The piping system as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the protrusions are detachably connected to the main body. 15. The piping system as claimed in claim 13 , wherein when one of the protrusions is detached from the main body, a lid is provided to cover an opening of the main body. 16. The piping system as claimed in claim 13 , wherein at least one of the protrusions includes a main channel and a sub channel which are interconnected, the sub channel protrudes from a side of the main channel, and the main channel communicates with the collecting pipe, wherein the main channel and the sub channel are configured to connect the scrubbers via the connecting pipes. 17. The piping system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protrusions are arranged in a staggered manner. 18. The piping system as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the protrusions include a transparent material.
