Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steam traps, in particular to a temperature-controllable, high-efficiency and energy-saving steam trap. Background Art
[0002] Steam trap is called steam trap, also called automatic drainer or condensate drainer. It is divided into steam system and gas system. Steam trap is installed at the terminal of the steam-heated pipeline. Its function is to continuously discharge the condensate in the steam-heated pipeline to the outside of the pipeline. Steam trap can be divided into three types according to different working principles: mechanical type, thermostatic type and thermodynamic type. Mechanical steam traps include free float type, free semi-float type, lever float type, inverted bucket type, etc.
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that after long-term use, steam and condensed water are likely to remain in the valve cavity of the existing float-type steam trap. After certain emptying measures are taken, some water stains of steam and condensed water will still remain inside the valve cavity, which cannot be completely removed and may easily affect the devices inside the valve cavity. It is also impossible to control the temperature of the steam and condensed water during the emptying process. Therefore, the existing steam trap needs further improvement. Summary of the invention
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a temperature-controllable, high-efficiency and energy-saving steam trap, comprising a valve body, a water inlet, a water outlet and an emptying structure, a nameplate is fixedly attached to the front end face of the valve body, a water inlet is connected to the left side of the top end of the valve body, a water outlet is connected to the right side of the top end of the valve body, and a semicircular float cavity is provided inside the valve body, an inlet pipe is connected between the water inlet and the valve body, a water outlet pipe is connected between the water outlet and the valve body, and an inlet filter screen and an outlet filter screen are respectively arranged inside the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe, and a heat conduction groove is provided on the bottom side of the float cavity, a heat conduction pipe is linearly connected inside the heat conduction groove, and an emptying structure is provided on one side of the float cavity.
[0005] As a preferred solution of the temperature-controllable, high-efficiency and energy-saving steam trap described in the present invention, the emptying structure includes a hollow float, an emptying valve, an emptying seat and a water supply valve; an emptying seat is provided on one side of the interior of the semicircular float cavity, a drainage cavity is opened on the lower side of the interior of the emptying seat, and the drainage cavity is connected to the water outlet pipe, and the outer end of the emptying seat is elastically connected to the drain valve.
[0006] As a preferred solution of the temperature-controllable, high-efficiency and energy-saving steam trap described in the present invention, a top block is movably embedded at the right end of the bottom side of the float chamber, and a threaded rod is fixedly connected to the lower end of the top block, a threaded seat is arranged between the threaded rod and the lower side of the top block and the valve body, and a sealing type is formed between the threaded seat and the valve body.
[0007] As a preferred solution of the temperature-controllable, high-efficiency and energy-saving steam trap described in the present invention, a blocking end is provided at the middle position of one end of the drain valve close to the drain seat, and an exhaust hole corresponding to the blocking end is provided on the inner side of the drain seat, and a drain cavity is provided on the inner side of the drain seat.
[0008] As a preferred solution of the temperature-controllable, high-efficiency and energy-saving steam trap described in the present invention, the lower end of the drain cavity is connected to a water delivery cavity, a movable rotating shaft is movably connected to the front outer end of the water delivery cavity, and a water delivery valve is movably connected to the movable rotating shaft, a connecting rod is provided on the outer side of the water delivery valve, and a hollow float is fixedly connected to the connecting rod.
[0009] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: after condensed water enters the water inlet pipe and the water inlet, the water level inside the water inlet rises and is completely discharged, some steam and condensed water will still remain at the bottom of the semicircular float chamber. If the valve body needs to be left standing for a period of time at this time, the steam and condensed water remaining at the bottom of the float chamber cannot be emptied. At this time, the threaded rod of the knob threaded seat is loosened to drive the top block to move upward to discharge the remaining steam and condensed water or flow to the top of the heat transfer pipe, and the heat transfer pipe is started by external control to heat, and the remaining steam and condensed water are continuously heated until the remaining water is heated, so that the bottom of the float chamber remains dry and free of residue during the period of standing still and not in use, and condensed water is prevented from being retained in the float chamber. Under the premise of reserving condensed water, the temperature of the condensed water during the emptying process can be continuously guaranteed, and the temperature of the condensed water can be controlled. The water inlet filter can effectively remove and filter the introduced steam and condensed water, and can effectively prevent impurities from being introduced into the valve body and causing blockage inside the valve body. After condensed water enters the valve body from the water inlet pipe, the water level in the float cavity rises, and the hollow float also rises accordingly to gradually open the steam trap. If the amount of condensed water decreases, steam will enter the float cavity. When the hollow float drops to the lowest point, the steam trap can be tightly closed, and the drain valve is also closed at the same time to prevent steam leakage, effectively improving the overall steam-blocking and water-draining effect of the valve body, and also improving the energy-saving effect of the valve body, thereby improving the performance of the valve body.

The interior of 11 is respectively sleeved with an inlet filter 8 and an outlet filter 12, and a heat conduction groove 14 is opened at the bottom side of the float chamber 5, and a heat conduction pipe 15 is linearly connected to the inside of the heat conduction groove 14, and an emptying structure is arranged on one side of the interior of the float chamber 5, and a top block 13 is movably embedded at the right end of the bottom side of the float chamber 5, and a threaded rod 25 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the top block 13, and a threaded seat 24 is arranged between the threaded rod 25 and the lower side of the top block 13 and the valve body 1, and the threaded seat 24 and the valve body 1 are sealed.
[0019] After the condensed water enters the water inlet pipe 7 and the water inlet 3, the water level inside rises and is discharged. Some steam and condensed water will still remain at the bottom of the semicircular float chamber 5. If the valve body 1 needs to be left still for a period of time at this time, the steam and condensed water remaining at the bottom of the float chamber 5 cannot be emptied. At this time, the knob threaded seat 24 loosens the threaded rod 25 to drive the top block 13 to move upward to discharge the remaining steam and condensed water or flow to the top of the heat pipe 15. The heat pipe 15 is started by external control for heating, and the remaining steam and condensed water are continuously heated until the remaining water is heated, so that the bottom of the float chamber 5 remains dry and free of residue during the period of standing still and not in use, preventing condensed water from being retained in the float chamber 5. On the premise of reserving condensed water, the temperature of the condensed water during the emptying process can be continuously guaranteed, and the temperature of the condensed water can be controlled. The water inlet filter 8 can effectively remove impurities and filter the introduced steam and condensed water, and can effectively prevent impurities from being introduced into the valve body 1 and causing blockage inside the valve body. Example 2
[0020] Reference Figures 3 to 6 This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, and is different from the previous embodiment in that the emptying structure includes a hollow float 6, an emptying valve 16, an emptying seat 17 and a water delivery valve 23; an emptying seat 17 is provided on one side of the interior of the semicircular float cavity 5, a drainage cavity 10 is provided on the lower side of the interior of the emptying seat 17, and the drainage cavity 10 is connected to the water outlet pipe 11, and the outer end of the emptying seat 17 is elastically connected to the emptying valve 16, and the emptying valve 16 is close to the emptying seat 17. A blocking end 19 is provided at the middle position of the end, and an exhaust hole 18 corresponding to the blocking end 19 is provided on the inner side of the emptying seat 17, and an emptying cavity 20 is provided on the inner side of the emptying seat 17.

A connecting rod 26 is provided on the outer side of the water delivery valve 23, and a hollow float 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 26.
[0021] After the condensed water enters the valve body 1 from the water inlet pipe 7, the water level in the float chamber 5 rises, and the hollow float 6 also rises accordingly to gradually open the steam trap 23. If the amount of condensed water decreases, steam will enter the float chamber 5. When the hollow float 6 drops to the lowest point, the steam trap 23 can be tightly closed, and the drain valve 16 is also closed at the same time to prevent steam leakage, thereby effectively improving the overall air-blocking and drainage effect of the valve body 1, and also improving the energy-saving effect of the valve body 1, thereby improving the performance of the valve body 1.
