Abstract

A fluid disruption detection apparatus includes a frame surrounding a passage through which fluid is to penetrate and a fluid disruption detector coupled with the body member to detect fluid disruption.

Claims

1. A fluid disruption detection apparatus, comprising:

a frame surrounding a passage through which a fluid is to penetrate; and

a fluid disruption detector coupled with the frame to detect fluid disruption.

2. The fluid disruption detection apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein:

the frame includes;

a first support part and a second support part spaced apart from each other in accordance with the fluid to pass therethrough, and

two connection parts connecting adjacent ends of the first support part and the second support part; and

the fluid disruption detector includes a plurality of first sensors at any one of the first support part and the second support part to generate a detection signal.

3. The fluid disruption detection apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein the first sensor is an ultrasonic wave sensor.

4. The fluid disruption detection apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein the fluid disruption detector includes a plurality of second sensors on the frame, the plurality of second sensors being opposite the plurality of first sensors across the passage.

5. The fluid disruption detection apparatus as claimed in claim 4, wherein:

the first sensor is an emitter to emit the detection signal; and

the second sensor is a detector to detect the detection signal.

6. The fluid disruption detection apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein:

the first sensor is an infrared light emitting diode (LED); and

the second sensor is an infrared detector.

7. The fluid disruption detection apparatus as claimed in claim 4, wherein the plurality of first sensors and the plurality of second sensors are in one-to-one correspondence.

8. The fluid disruption detection apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the frame is a rectangle.

9. The fluid disruption detection apparatus as claimed in claim 1, further comprising an alarm in communication with the fluid disruption detector, the alarm to emit an alarm signal when the fluid disruption detector detects the fluid disruption.

10. The fluid disruption detection apparatus as claimed in claim 9, wherein the alarm signal is light.

11. The fluid disruption detection apparatus as claimed in claim 9, wherein the alarm is on the frame.
