MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611114800 A) filed by Chandigarh University on September 25, 2026, for Modular Self-Cleaning Drain Pipe With Vortex Flow Inducer And Integrated Scraper Collection Chamber.
Inventors include Kush Kumar; and Khushi Singh.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: A modular self-cleaning drain pipe assembly includes a drainage conduit (10) having internal helical spiral ridges (11) that impart rotational motion to gravity-driven wastewater and define a vortex induction region (12). Solid debris is urged toward a peripheral region and diverted through an offset diversion channel (14) into a debris collection chamber (17) positioned outside a bypass flow path (16). A modular replaceable chamber cartridge (18) receives the separated debris. A bayonet-style cap (19) retains the cartridge and carries an integrated scraper blade (20), whereby rotation of the cap causes the blade to sweep an internal wall of the collection region for in-situ cleaning. A one-way debris entry mechanism may inhibit reverse movement of collected debris, and the cartridge may include a transparent portion for visual inspection. The assembly operates passively from gravity-driven flow and provides continuous liquid conveyance while separated debris is collected for removal or replacement.
