[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of thermal fluid devices, and in particular to a four-sided visual viewing tube assembly. Background Art
[0002] In thermal fluid systems, it is usually necessary to be able to observe the flow state in the pipe.
[0003] For high-temperature and high-pressure fluid working fluids, a sight glass is generally installed in the pipeline. The sight glass consists of a sight glass base plate, a sight glass glass, a valve assembly, etc. This structure cannot achieve full-view observation of the fluid in the pipe, which affects the observation effect.
[0004] Furthermore, there is not much difference in visual observation between when some transparent fluids flow through the sight glass and when no fluids flow through the sight glass.
[0005] Therefore, installing ordinary sight glasses in pipelines of some special fluid working media cannot fully meet their use requirements. Summary of the invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a four-sided visual viewing tube assembly to ensure the observation effect of the fluid working medium in the tube in the thermal fluid system in view of the above-mentioned defects in the prior art. It can be applied to high-temperature and high-pressure fluid working medium and is easy to disassemble and install.
[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0008] A four-sided visual viewing tube assembly comprises an upper fastening flange, a lower fastening flange and a viewing tube, wherein the upper fastening flange is connected to the lower fastening flange by screws and nuts, wherein there are three groups of connecting screws and nuts, which are symmetrically distributed at the middle position of the fastening flange to compress and fasten the viewing tube;
[0009] The two ends of the sight tube are respectively placed in the grooves of the upper and lower fastening flanges, an upper sealing gasket and a lower sealing gasket are respectively arranged between the sight tube and the fastening flange, and the sealing adopts end face sealing.
[0010] One side of the viewing tube is in a groove of the circular fastening flange, and the other side is also in a groove of the same size.
[0011] The sight tube and the circular fastening flanges at both ends are locked by screws and lock nuts.
[0012] Sealing pads are arranged at both ends of the high-pressure visual tube, the sealing pads are placed in the grooves, and sealing glue is filled between the grooves and the high-pressure visual tube.
[0013] The sealant is a high temperature and high pressure resistant sealant.
[0014] A guide rail and a float are placed on the central axis of the sight tube. Both ends of the guide rail are fixed on the central axis of the sight tube through guide rail supports in upper and lower fastening flanges. A circular hole slightly larger than the outer diameter of the guide rail is opened in the center of the float. The float is nested on the guide rail and can move up and down along the axial direction on the guide rail.
[0015] The interface of the upper fastening flange is in the form of internal threads, and the interface of the lower fastening flange uses external threads that match the internal threads.
[0016] The visual tube is a circular tube.
[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0018] The invention has a compact structure, low cost and is easy to replace; both ends of the assembly adopt matching internal and external threads, so that when the visual sight tube assembly fails, the external joint of the connecting assembly can be directly connected; the flow state of the fluid in the pipe can be observed at a full viewing angle, and the state in the pipe can be more determined by installing a float with a guide rail, and the float with a guide rail avoids the impact of the float on the peep tube, thereby improving the service life and safety of the pipe fittings.
