Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of vacuum degassing tank technology, and particularly relates to a vacuum degassing tank with sustainable water replenishment. Background Technology

[0002] Vacuum degassing units are devices used for liquid degassing. Vacuum degassing machines are commonly used in heating, cooling, and solar energy systems for centralized degassing, reducing corrosion, and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the system and equipment. System water enters the vacuum tank through the suction action of a pump. According to Henry's Law, when the pressure decreases, the solubility of gases decreases, causing free and dissolved gases in the water to be released and accumulate at the top of the vacuum tank. At this time, the water inlet solenoid valve opens again, and new water enters the tank to continue the degassing process.

[0003] Because gases have a certain density, when the gas is removed, the space occupied by the original liquid decreases, thus reducing the actual volume of liquid entering the tank. As a result, some space is wasted. To replenish the lost water, it is necessary to replenish it. However, existing vacuum degassing units have a separate water replenishment device, which means that water replenishment is carried out after venting. Since water degassing in the circulating water system is a continuous process, the degassed water is not well replenished during this period. The efficiency of the liquid in the circulating water system is low at this stage, and the amount of water replenishment depends on the amount of exhaust recorded by the exhaust valve, making water replenishment troublesome. At the same time, the exhaust gas contains a certain amount of water, which is not separated, resulting in low water utilization. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the problems in existing circulating water systems where water degassing is a continuous process, during which the degassed water is not adequately replenished. This results in low liquid efficiency during this phase, and the replenishment amount depends on the exhaust volume recorded by the exhaust valve, making replenishment cumbersome. Furthermore, the discharged gas contains moisture, which is not separated, leading to low water utilization. The invention proposes the following technical solution: a continuously replenishable vacuum degassing tank, comprising a degassing tank body and a water tank. A baffle is fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the degassing tank body, and a sliding groove is formed around the baffle. A rotating disk is rotatably installed inside the baffle, with its central axis not coaxial with the baffle's central axis. Ball bearings are rolled on the outside of the rotating disk and inside the baffle. A connecting block is fixedly installed at the top center of the rotating disk, and a piston cylinder is fixedly installed at the top of the connecting block. A connecting plate is fixedly installed on the top of the water tank, and a separation tank is fixedly installed inside the connecting plate.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a suction pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom right end of the piston cylinder, the bottom end of the suction pipe penetrates the bottom surface of the rotating disk one, a vent pipe one is fixedly installed at the top left end of the piston cylinder, a rotating disk two is provided at the top of the piston cylinder, the central axis of the rotating disk two is not coaxial with the central axis of the top of the piston cylinder, and the top of the vent pipe one penetrates the top surface of the rotating disk two.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a piston is slidably mounted inside the piston cylinder, and a pulling block is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the piston, with the pulling block slidably mounted inside the sliding groove.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the second rotating disk is rotatably mounted on the top of the degassing tank body, and ball bearings are rolled on the outside of the second rotating disk and inside the degassing tank body. Connecting rods are fixedly mounted on both sides of the bottom surface of the second rotating disk, and the bottom end of the connecting rod is fixedly mounted on the top outer wall of the first rotating disk.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a servo motor is fixedly installed on the top of the degassing tank body, a rotating rod is fixedly installed on the output end of the servo motor, the end of the rotating rod penetrates the inner wall of the top of the degassing tank body and extends downward, one end of the rotating rod extending downward is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the top of the rotating disk II, and a water suction pipe is fixedly installed on the bottom of the degassing tank body, the end of the water suction pipe penetrates the water tank and extends downward.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, an air inlet pipe is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the separator, a connector is fixedly installed at the end of the air inlet pipe, an air outlet pipe is fixedly installed at the top of the connector, and a guide pipe is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the separator, with the bottom end of the guide pipe not in contact with the bottom of the separator.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a threaded fan blade is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the guide tube, the outer wall of the threaded fan blade is in contact with the inner wall of the separation tank, and an exhaust pipe II is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the top end of the guide tube, the end of the exhaust pipe II penetrating the outer wall of the separation tank.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a condensate plate is provided below the guide tube. The condensate plate is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the separator. The condensate plate is a metal plate that protrudes upward. A water outlet pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom of the condensate plate, and the water outlet pipe corresponds to the water tank.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0013] (1) The rotating disk is driven by the motor to rotate, thereby rotating the piston cylinder. When the piston cylinder rotates, the pulling rod makes a circular motion. The pulling rod is restricted by the sliding groove, which can drive the piston to move and extract the gas inside the degassing tank body. This is beneficial to make the internal pressure of the degassing tank body lower than the external pressure, so that the water in the water tank is forced into the degassing tank body by the atmosphere, achieving the effect of automatic replenishment of the water inside the degassing tank body.

[0014] (2) By installing a separator at the end of the first gas outlet pipe, when the gas enters the separator, it will move around the spiral fan blades in a spiral motion, thereby reducing the gas temperature and liquefying the gas. The liquid enters the end of the condensate plate, which is conducive to the liquid entering the water tank through the water outlet pipe. The gas is discharged from the separator through the second gas outlet pipe, increasing the water utilization rate. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0023] This invention provides a vacuum degassing tank with sustainable water replenishment, such as... Figure 1-2As shown, a vacuum degassing tank with sustainable water replenishment is included, comprising a degassing tank body 1 and a water tank 17. A baffle 2 is fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the degassing tank body 1. A sliding groove 3 is provided on the periphery of the baffle 2. A rotating disk 4 is rotatably installed inside the baffle 2. The central axis of the rotating disk 4 is not coaxial with the central axis of the baffle 2. Ball bearings are rolled on the outside of the rotating disk 4 and inside the baffle 2. A connecting block 6 is fixedly installed at the top center of the rotating disk 4. A piston cylinder 7 is fixedly installed at the top of the connecting block 6. A connecting plate 18 is fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 17. A separation tank 19 is fixedly installed inside the connecting plate 18.

[0024] The degassing tank body 1 is the main degassing device of the apparatus. The water tank 17 collects water that needs to be replenished. The baffle 2 allows the piston cylinder 7 to be installed inside the degassing tank body 1. The sliding groove 3 allows the pulling block 11 to move in a circular motion, thereby causing the piston 10 to rotate. The rotating disk 4 drives the piston cylinder 7 to rotate. The central axis of the rotating disk 4 is not aligned with the central axis of the baffle 2, allowing the pulling block 11 to move during its circular motion when the piston cylinder 7 rotates, thus moving the piston 10 and filling the degassing tank body 1 with water. Air is extracted from the part of the tank. The ball bearings allow the rotating disk 14 to rotate inside the baffle 2, which reduces the friction generated during rotation, making it easier for the rotating disk 14 and rotating disk 212 to rotate. The connecting block 6 allows the piston cylinder 7 to be fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the rotating disk 14. The piston cylinder 7 allows water vapor to be extracted to the outside of the degassing tank body 1. The connecting plate 18 allows the separator 19 to be fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 17. The separator 19 allows the extracted water vapor to be separated, allowing the water to be reused.

[0025] like Figure 3-5As shown, a suction pipe 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom right end of piston cylinder 7, and the bottom end of suction pipe 8 penetrates the bottom surface of rotating disk 4. A vent pipe 9 is fixedly installed at the top left end of piston cylinder 7. A rotating disk 12 is provided at the top of piston cylinder 7. The central axis of rotating disk 12 is not coaxial with the central axis of the top of piston cylinder 7. The top of vent pipe 9 penetrates the top surface of rotating disk 12. A piston 10 is slidably installed inside piston cylinder 7. A pulling block 11 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of piston 10. The pulling block 11 is slidably installed inside sliding groove 3. Rotating disk 12 is rotatably installed on the top of degassing tank body 1. The degassing tank body 1 is equipped with rolling ball bearings. The bottom surfaces of the rotating disk 12 are fixedly mounted on both sides. The bottom ends of the connecting rods 13 are fixedly mounted on the top outer wall of the rotating disk 4. The top of the degassing tank body 1 is fixedly mounted with a servo motor 14. The output end of the servo motor 14 is fixedly mounted with a rotating rod 15. The end of the rotating rod 15 passes through the top inner wall of the degassing tank body 1 and extends downward. The downward-extending end of the rotating rod 15 is fixedly mounted on the top outer wall of the rotating disk 12. The bottom of the degassing tank body 1 is fixedly mounted with a water suction pipe 16. The end of the water suction pipe 16 passes through the water tank 17 and extends downward.

[0026] The suction pipe 8 allows water vapor to be drawn into the piston cylinder 7, and the exhaust pipe 9 allows water vapor to be discharged from the piston cylinder 7. The rotating disk 12 drives the connecting rod 13 to rotate. Ball bearings allow the rotating disk 12 to rotate, which is mounted on the top of the degassing tank body 1. The connecting rod 13 drives the rotating disk 4 to rotate. The servo motor 14 drives the rotating rod 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating disk 12 to rotate. The water suction pipe 16 allows water from the water tank 17 to enter the dehydration tank body 1. When the servo motor 14 is started, it drives the rotating rod 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating disk 12 to rotate. When rotating, it can drive the connecting rod 13 to rotate, and the connecting rod 13 can drive the turntable 4 to rotate. When the turntable 4 rotates, it will drive the piston cylinder 7 to rotate. At the same time, the outside of the turntable 4 and the turntable 12 are both rolled with ball bearings. The ball bearings can reduce the friction generated when the turntable 4 and the turntable 12 rotate, so that the turntable 4 can be rotated and installed on the baffle 2 more easily, and the turntable 12 can be rotated and installed on the top of the degassing tank body 1 more easily. When the piston cylinder 7 rotates, it will drive the pulling rod 11 to make a circular motion. Since the turntable 4 and the baffle 2 are installed on different axes, the pulling rod 11 will drive the piston 10 to move when it makes a circular motion, so that the airflow inside the piston cylinder 7 can move, so that water vapor can be drawn into the piston cylinder 7 through the suction pipe 8, and gas can enter the air inlet pipe 20 through the exhaust pipe 9.

[0027] like Figure 6As shown, an air inlet pipe 20 is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the separator 19. A connector 26 is fixedly installed at the end of the air inlet pipe 20. An air outlet pipe 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the connector 26. A guide pipe 22 is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the separator 19. The bottom end of the guide pipe 22 does not contact the bottom of the separator 19. A threaded fan blade 21 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the guide pipe 22. The outer wall of the threaded fan blade 21 contacts the inner wall of the separator 19. An air outlet pipe 23 is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the guide pipe 22. The end of the air outlet pipe 23 penetrates the outer wall of the separator 19. A condensate plate 24 is provided below the guide pipe 22. The condensate plate 24 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the separator 19. The condensate plate 24 is a metal plate that protrudes upward. A water outlet pipe 25 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the condensate plate 24. The water outlet pipe 25 corresponds to the water tank 17.

[0028] The air inlet pipe 20 allows water vapor to enter the interior of the separator 19. The connector 26 allows the air inlet pipe 20 to be fixedly connected to the air outlet pipe 1 9. The guide pipe 22 allows the separated gas to enter the interior of the air outlet pipe 23. The threaded fan blade 21 allows the water vapor to move in a spiral motion inside the separator 19, allowing water and gas to be separated. The air outlet pipe 23 allows the gas to be discharged from the separator 19. The condensate plate 24 allows the spirally moving gas to come into contact and liquefy, allowing water to be separated. At the same time, the condensate plate 24 is a metal plate that protrudes upwards so that the water can fall to the water outlet pipe 25 and be discharged.

[0029] Working principle: When degassing is required, the servo motor 14 is activated to drive the rotating rod 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating disk 12 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating disk 12 drives the connecting rod 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating disk 4 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating disk 4 drives the piston cylinder 7 to rotate. Since the rotating disk 4 and the baffle 2 are not on the same axis, the pulling rod 11 drives the piston 10 to move, allowing gas to be drawn into the piston cylinder 7 through the suction pipe 8. The gas is then discharged from the degassing tank body 1 through the exhaust pipe 9. After the gas is discharged, the internal pressure of the degassing tank body 1 is lower than the external pressure, thus reducing the water pressure. Water in tank 17 is forced into degassing tank body 1 by atmospheric pressure, achieving automatic water replenishment inside degassing tank body 1. Water vapor enters air inlet pipe 20 through air outlet pipe 9, allowing gas to enter separation tank 19. When the gas enters the separation tank, it spirals around the spiral fan blades, lowering the gas temperature and liquefying the gas. The liquid enters the end of condensate plate 24. Since condensate plate 24 is an upward-protruding metal plate with a lower temperature, it facilitates the liquid entering water tank 17 through water outlet pipe 25. Gas is discharged from separation tank 19 through air outlet pipe 23, increasing water utilization.

[0030] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it.
