Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of discharge of condensed water in a compressed air system, and in particular to a new type of permanent magnetic zero-leakage automatic steam trap with reliable performance and energy saving. Background Art

[0002] There are several main types of drainage devices currently used for condensate in compressed air systems:

[0003] Manual valve, when in use, keep the manual valve in an opening state of about 10%. When the condensed water is discharged, a small amount of compressed air will leak, and the compressed air leaks and generates noise of more than 85 decibels. The leakage of expensive compressed air causes energy waste, and reduces the pressure of the air supply system, interfering with the normal operation of the equipment.

[0004] Mechanical lever float type drain valve uses the principle of float driven mechanical lever to control the opening and closing of drain. Usually, the drain port diameter is designed to be small. The oil and scale impurities in the condensed water can easily block the drain port or adhere to the rotation of the mechanical lever, so that the float cannot float up and down, causing the drain valve to fail, and increasing production and maintenance costs. The action point of the float driven mechanical actuator to close the drain valve is often later than the drain point of the condensed water, so that a small amount of gas leaks each time the water is drained, and it cannot really achieve 100% gas blocking, which increases the operating energy consumption cost of the system.

[0005] For electronic sensor drain valves, oil and scale impurities in condensed water can easily contaminate the electronic sensor elements and cause abnormal operation of the drain valve. At the same time, electronic sensors or circuit failures are difficult to repair, which increases the system operation and maintenance costs and operating energy consumption costs.

[0006] The drainage time and drainage interval of the timer-controlled drain valve are set manually, but the cumulative amount of condensate produced in the system is determined by comprehensive factors such as ambient temperature changes and compressed air usage. It is impossible to synchronize the set drainage time and drainage interval with the cumulative amount of condensate produced in the system, resulting in a small amount of gas leakage when the timer controls the drainage, which increases the system's operating energy consumption cost.

[0007] In addition, the existing drain valve has a small drainage volume when opened and closed at one time. When the system drainage volume is large, it is necessary to connect multiple drain valves in parallel, which increases the investment in the system's drainage equipment and reduces the reliability of the system operation.

[0008] The valve body of the above-mentioned drain valve is usually made of metal cast iron or other metal materials, and the liquid level inside the valve body and whether the actuator operates normally cannot be monitored from the outside. Summary of the invention

[0009] In view of the above-mentioned existing technical defects, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a new type of permanent magnetic zero leakage automatic steam trap with reliable performance and energy saving, which is used to solve the problems of short service life, easy leakage during drainage, small diameter of drainage port, easy blockage, high frequency of electrical failure, small drainage volume during opening and closing, and difficult maintenance in the drainage valve in the prior art.

The valve body, the upper valve block and the valve base are fixedly and sealedly connected as a whole to form a main valve. The inner cavity of the valve body is provided with a float, a float guide rod, a magnet, a magnetic active valve core and a fixed valve core seat.

The lower end of the float is movably placed on the valve base, and a magnet is provided at the upper end of the float through hole. The inner magnetic pole of the magnet and the outer magnetic pole of the magnetic movable valve core are the same magnetic poles, forming a pair of same magnetic poles that repel each other. The magnet and the magnetic movable valve core form a pair of control to open or break the second compressed air air path, so as to control the driving cylinder;

[0015] Furthermore, the valve body is a transparent shell made of a high-strength resin material with good transparency and fiber, so that the water level change state of the inner cavity of the steam trap main valve can be observed from the outside.

[0016] Furthermore, an annular soft brush for cleaning scale on the inner wall of the valve body is provided on the upper part of the outer wall of the float.

[0017] Furthermore, the float is in the shape of a trapezoidal circular column.

[0018] Furthermore, sealing pads are provided at both ends of the valve body, which are fixed and sealed together with the upper valve block and the valve base by bolts.

[0019] Furthermore, the magnet is an annular magnet, which is built into the inner wall of the float through hole, and the magnetic movable valve core is a cylindrical magnet, with a soft sealing pad on the top, forming a pair of sealing pairs with the fixed valve core seat.

[0020] Furthermore, the switch valve is a ball valve.

[0021] Furthermore, the driving cylinder is installed on the upper valve block through a bracket, the cylinder air inlet is connected to the second air outlet of the upper valve block through a hose, and the cylinder rod is connected to the switch valve stem through a connecting rod.

[0022] Further, the main valve is connected in parallel with at least one auxiliary valve, and the auxiliary valve includes an auxiliary valve upper valve block, an auxiliary valve valve base, and an auxiliary valve body. The auxiliary valve body is located between the auxiliary valve upper valve block and the auxiliary valve base, and the auxiliary valve body, the auxiliary valve upper valve block, and the auxiliary valve base are fixedly sealed and connected to form an auxiliary valve; the auxiliary valve upper valve block is provided with an air inlet, an airway, a first air outlet, and a second air outlet, the first air outlet is connected with the first air inlet of the main valve, and the second air outlet is connected with the inner cavity of the auxiliary valve body, the auxiliary valve base is provided with a condensate inlet and a condensate outlet, the condensate outlet is connected with the condensate inlet of the main valve, the other ends of the condensate inlet and the condensate outlet are respectively connected with the inner cavity of the auxiliary valve body, and the main valve and the auxiliary valve are fixedly connected.

[0024] Its working principle is further explained as follows:

[0025] The water level change of compressed air condensate accumulated in the main valve is used to make the float synchronize with the water level change under the action of buoyancy. The change of the up and down position of the float causes the relative position change of the annular magnet and the magnetic movable valve core in the float. The magnetic movable valve core moves up and down asynchronously with the float under the action of magnetic force (opposite to the movement direction of the float), so that the instrument compressed air gas path (the second air inlet, airway and air outlet of the upper valve block) is opened or disconnected; when the circuit is opened, the instrument compressed air drives the cylinder to move, and the cylinder rod drives the connecting rod to open the ball valve, so as to discharge the compressed air condensate in the automatic drainage main valve; when the compressed air condensate in the automatic drainage main valve is discharged, the liquid level in the automatic drainage main valve gradually decreases, and the float also gradually decreases at the same time. When the liquid level decreases to a certain value, the annular magnet in the synchronously descending float drives the magnetic movable valve core to move upward through magnetic force and cuts off the instrument compressed air supply of the driving cylinder. At that time, the driving cylinder is reset by the cylinder reset spring and the connecting rod is reset by the cylinder rod to drive the ball valve to close, thereby completing a drainage cycle.

[0060] Specific working process: In the initial state, the float 15 falls on the base, and the annular magnet 18 in the float and the magnetic movable valve core 20 are under the action of the same magnetic force that repel each other, so that the magnetic movable valve core 20 is against the fixed valve core seat 21, and a fixed sealing gasket is installed on the upper end of the magnetic movable valve core 20, so that the instrument compressed air gas path is disconnected, the cylinder rod 7 is in a contracted state, the ball valve 10 is closed, and the automatic drain valve is in a water storage state. Figure 1 .

[0061] As the condensed water accumulates in the main valve and the water level rises, the float 15 rises under the action of buoyancy, and the annular magnet 18 in the float rises synchronously with the float. After rising to the critical position, the magnetic force of the annular magnet 18 on the magnetic movable valve core 20 changes to downward, pushing the magnetic movable valve core 20 open, so that the instrument compressed air air path is opened, and the instrument compressed air drives the cylinder to move, the cylinder rod 7 extends, and the connecting rod 9 drives the ball valve to open, so that the compressed air condensed water in the automatic drainage main valve is discharged, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 .

[0062] When the compressed air condensate in the automatic drainage main valve is discharged, the liquid level in the automatic drainage main valve gradually decreases, and the float 15 also gradually decreases at the same time. When the liquid level drops to a certain value, the annular magnet 18 in the float pushes the magnetic movable valve core 20 upward through magnetic force, and cuts off the instrument compressed air passage of the driving cylinder. The driving cylinder 5 is reset by the cylinder reset spring 6 and the ball valve is closed through the cylinder rod 7 and the connecting rod 9, thereby completing a drainage cycle.
