Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of gas storage tanks, and in particular to the technical field of a multifunctional gas storage tank. Background Technology

[0002] Compressed air is widely used in industrial production as an important energy source. Because air contains moisture, it usually accumulates at the bottom of the compressed air storage tank during the compression and cooling process. If it is not removed in time, it will mix with the compressed air and enter the air-using production equipment along the compressed air pipeline, causing corrosion and damage to the pneumatic components of the production equipment, malfunction of the equipment, or reduced reliability and service life of the air-using equipment.

[0003] Application number CN201911231033.6 discloses a drainage system for a gas storage tank. The drainage system includes a water level sensor, a normally open solenoid valve, a normally closed solenoid valve, and a controller. The normally open solenoid valve is located upstream of the gas storage tank's drainage pipeline and is used to open and close the drainage pipeline. The normally closed solenoid valve is located downstream of the gas storage tank's drainage pipeline and is also used to open and close the drainage pipeline. The water level sensor monitors the water level in the storage tank and sends a water level signal to the controller when a preset water level is reached. The controller determines the duration of the water level signal; when the duration reaches a preset duration, it controls the normally open and normally closed solenoid valves to open and close automatically according to a first preset rule to drain the water from the gas storage tank. This system uses many electronic components, which inevitably lead to component failures during use, resulting in poor reliability and increased operating costs. Summary of the Invention

The upper end of the hollow body is connected to the lower end of the tank body via a connecting pipe. A guide rod is provided inside the hollow body, and a slidable float is provided on the guide rod. A sleeve is provided at the lower end of the float, and the lower end of the sleeve is in close contact with the inner side of the lower end of the hollow body. A water outlet pipe is located inside the sleeve at the lower end of the hollow body, and a water outlet is provided on the water outlet pipe inside the hollow body. A cylindrical body is connected to the lower end of the water outlet pipe, and a water suction body is provided inside the cylindrical body.

The upper end of the hollow body 2 is connected to the lower end of the tank body 1 via a connecting pipe 12. Guide rods 4 are provided inside the hollow body 2, and a slidable float 3 is mounted on the guide rods 4. A sleeve 5 is provided at the lower end of the float 3, and the lower end of the sleeve 5 is in close contact with the inner side of the lower end of the hollow body 2. A water outlet pipe 6 located inside the sleeve 5 is provided at the lower end of the hollow body 2. The body 2 has a water outlet 7 on the water outlet pipe 6. A cylinder 8, connected to the lower end of the water outlet pipe 6, is provided with a water suction body 9 inside the cylinder 8. A sealing ring 10 is provided at the upper end of the water suction body 9 for sealing with the cylinder 8. A retaining ring 111 is located below the sealing ring 10 inside the cylinder 8. A baffle 11 is provided at the lower end of the cylinder 8, and the baffle 11 has several through holes 12. The water outlet 7 is a vertically arranged slot-shaped hole structure. The body also includes a drive mechanism 13, which drives the baffle 11 to move up and down. The drive mechanism 13 includes a vortex. The turbine 131 has its outlet connected to the inlet of the tank 1, and its inlet connected to a compressed air supply pipe. The drive end of the turbine 131 is connected to the input end of an electric clutch 132, and the output end of the electric clutch 132 is connected to a stop body 11 via a transmission mechanism 133. The front end of the hollow body 2 is provided with a sliding rod 14, a sliding sleeve 15, a lower contact head 16 at the upper end of the sliding sleeve 15, and an upper contact head 17 at the upper end of the sliding rod 14. The lower contact head 16 is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply. The upper contact head 17 is connected to the positive terminal of the electric clutch 132. The rear end of the sliding sleeve 15 is provided with a magnet I18. The front end of the float 3 is provided with a magnet II19 that attracts the magnet I18. The transmission mechanism 133 includes an eccentric wheel 1331. The eccentric wheel 1331 is provided with a connecting shaft 1332. The connecting shaft 1332 is hinged to the stop body 11 through a connecting rod 1333. The output end of the electric clutch 132 is provided with a small gear 134. The eccentric wheel 1331 is provided with a large gear 135 that meshes with the small gear 134.

[0017] Working process of this invention:

[0018] In the operation of this multifunctional gas storage tank, water in the tank body 1 enters the hollow body 2 through the connecting pipe 110. When the water in the hollow body 2 reaches a certain amount, the float 3 floats up and drives the sleeve 5 to move upward. At this time, the water enters the water suction body 9 through the water outlet 7 and the water outlet pipe 6, and then is discharged through the through hole 12.

[0019] As the amount of water entering the hollow body 2 increases, the float 3 continues to float upwards. Through the cooperation of magnets I18 and II19, the sliding sleeve 15 moves upwards. The sliding sleeve 15 drives the lower contact head 16 to move upwards. When the lower contact head 16 contacts the upper contact head 17, the electric clutch 132 engages. At this time, the turbine 131 drives the pinion 134 to rotate through the electric clutch 132. The pinion 134 drives the eccentric wheel 1331 to rotate through the large gear 135. The eccentric wheel 1331 drives the connecting rod 1333 to move through the connecting shaft 1332. The connecting rod 1333 drives the baffle 11 to move up and down, squeezing the water-absorbing body 9 and increasing the drainage speed of the water-absorbing body 9.

[0020] When the water volume inside the hollow body 2 decreases, the buoy 3 descends, and the sliding sleeve 15 moves downward through the cooperation of magnets I18 and II19. The sliding sleeve 15 drives the lower contact head 16 to move upward and disconnect from the upper contact head 17. At this time, the electric clutch 132 is disengaged, and the turbine 131 idles.

[0021] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any simple modifications to the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
