Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of buffer tanks, and in particular to a self-draining buffer tank. Background Art

[0002] Buffer tanks are mainly used to buffer pressure fluctuations in various systems to make the systems work more smoothly. They are widely used in water supply equipment, gas supply equipment, chemical industry and other fields. In the prior art, the buffer tank includes a tank body, and an inlet valve, an outlet valve, a drain valve and a pressure control device arranged on the buffer tank body. The outlet valve of the buffer tank is generally connected to an oil vacuum pump, and the inlet valve is connected to a device with required negative pressure conditions. When the buffer tank is in working state, when the gas is vacuumed in real time, the gas sucked into the tank body will carry some water vapor. When the gas is drawn into the vacuum tank, the water vapor is prone to liquefaction and ice is separated from the gas and deposited at the bottom of the buffer tank. The drain valve is arranged at the bottom of the buffer tank, and the liquid at the bottom of the buffer tank can be discharged through the drain valve.

[0003] The problem in the existing application documents, such as the comparative document with application number CN110397737B, is that when the liquid level storage device in the comparative document needs to discharge the liquid, the storage tank needs to stop working. The reason is that when the floating ball is squeezed and deformed, the diversion hole will be blocked. The blocked diversion hole will cause the upper and lower parts of the diversion recessed plate to have a segmentation and sealing effect. The liquid gathered at the bottom of the tank after the segmentation and sealing of the diversion recessed plate will be discharged through the drain port, and the drain port is connected to the outside world. When the liquid is discharged, the bottom of the diversion recessed plate is in a normal pressure state. After closing the drain port, the fan-shaped diversion plate is driven downward by the contraction of the telescopic rod. At the same time, the floating ball will be discharged from the diversion hole under the action of its own gravity and the downward thrust of the elastic pull rope. Disengagement, at this time the guide port is in a connected state, the upper and lower parts of the guide recessed plate are in a connected state, and the air pressure originally located above the guide recessed plate is instantly supplemented by the air pressure below the guide recessed plate, causing the air pressure value in the buffer tank to change instantly, thus losing the original meaning of the buffer tank. In order to avoid accidents, the buffer tank needs to be closed during the drainage process, and the vacuum degree in the tank body is detected by a vacuum gauge, so that the tank body works repeatedly. The drainage work can only be achieved if the buffer tank needs to be closed. However, if the buffer tank needs to be closed to achieve drainage, the design of the guide recessed plate in this design scheme itself loses its meaning, because after closing the buffer tank, opening the drain valve itself can drain the water, so the buffer tank cannot be drained in the working state. Summary of the invention

[0004] The invention aims at the disadvantages of the prior art that the air blowing design and the power are combined to design the water in the tank body to be able to condense quickly, and provides a self-draining buffer tank.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is solved by the following technical solutions: a self-draining buffer tank, comprising a tank body, the tank body is provided with a liquid outlet, characterized in that the tank body is provided with a liquid discharge device, the liquid discharge device comprises a liquid collecting component and a liquid discharge component, the liquid collecting component is arranged in the tank body, the liquid collecting component comprises a liquid collecting bottom plate for collecting liquid, the liquid collecting bottom plate is provided with a liquid guide hole, the liquid discharge component comprises a drainage cylinder, a piston and a power piece, the piston is slidably matched with the drainage cylinder, and the power piece is used to drive the piston in the drainage cylinder Reciprocating motion, a liquid collecting port and a liquid discharge port are provided on the drainage cylinder, the liquid collecting port is connected to the liquid guide hole, the tank body is provided with a liquid outlet connected to the liquid discharge port, the liquid discharge port is arranged at the end of the liquid collecting cylinder, a vent valve is provided at the end of the liquid collecting cylinder, the vent valve is communicated with the tank body, when the piston moves toward the liquid discharge port, the piston forms a seal with the liquid collecting port and drives the liquid in the liquid collecting cylinder to be discharged from the liquid discharge port, when the piston moves away from the liquid discharge port, the vent valve opens to drive the air pressure in the liquid collecting cylinder to be equal to the air pressure in the tank body.

[0006] By adopting the above technical scheme, the liquid in the tank body is collected by the liquid collecting bottom plate after being deposited. When the piston moves in the direction away from the drain port and moves to the extreme position, the piston no longer forms a seal on the liquid collecting port. At this time, the liquid located above the liquid collecting bottom plate can enter the drain cylinder through the liquid guide hole and the liquid collecting port under the action of gravity. The power part drives the piston to reciprocate. When the piston moves toward the drain port, the piston forms a seal on the liquid collecting port, and the vent valve is in a closed state. The piston continues to move toward the drain port to discharge the liquid in the drain cylinder from the drain port. Then the piston moves away from the drain port again, and the vent valve opens, so that the air pressure in the drain cylinder remains the same as the air pressure in the tank body, thereby solving the technical problem of draining when the cache tank is in working condition.

[0007] The present invention is further configured as follows: the drainage assembly is provided with a plurality of drainage cylinders, each of the drainage cylinders is provided with a piston, the drainage assembly also includes a crankshaft and a plurality of connecting rods, the connecting rods are rotationally connected to the pistons, the connecting rods are rotationally connected to the crankshaft, and the crankshaft is controlled by the rotation of the power part.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the technical problem solved is how to increase the drainage efficiency. The drainage efficiency is increased by increasing the number of drainage cylinders, and setting up multiple groups of drainage cylinders can also drive the drainage in the tank body to always be in a stable drainage state.

The design of the liquid guiding section and the liquid collecting trough increases the liquid guiding type, and gravity can be used to increase the liquid guiding efficiency of the liquid collecting bottom plate, thereby increasing the drainage efficiency.

[0011] The present invention is further configured as follows: the liquid collecting component further comprises a scraper plate, the scraper plate is arranged in close contact with the liquid collecting bottom plate, and the power member can drive the scraper plate to move along the surface of the liquid collecting bottom plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the technical problem solved is how to increase the drainage efficiency, and the collection of liquid on the liquid collecting bottom plate can be accelerated by the scraper.

[0013] The present invention is further configured as follows: the buffer tank also includes a low-temperature chamber, the air inlet is connected to the low-temperature chamber, the low-temperature chamber is provided with a connecting hole communicating with the tank body, the low-temperature chamber is provided with an air intake cooling device, and the air intake cooling device is used to cool the low-temperature chamber.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the technical problem solved is how to accelerate the condensation of water vapor in the gas entering the buffer tank. By setting an air intake cooling device with a cooling effect, the overall cooling of the low-temperature chamber is completed. When the temperature is lowered, the condensation speed of the gas water vapor entering the tank body is faster.

[0015] The present invention is further configured as follows: a central duct is provided in the low-temperature chamber, the central duct and the inner wall of the low-temperature chamber are spaced apart to form a circular columnar air guide cavity, the air inlet is connected to the air guide cavity, the central duct is provided with a spiral guide plate, the guide plate is arranged in the air guide cavity, the guide plate drives the gas entering the air guide cavity through the air inlet to rotate in a spiral shape, and the air intake cooling device can be set to cool the central duct.

By setting a central duct structure, an air guide cavity structure formed by the central duct and the inner wall of the condensation cavity, and setting a guide plate, the gas entering the air guide cavity is driven to rotate, thereby increasing the residence time of the gas in the low-temperature chamber. When the central duct is cooled by the air intake cooling device, the condensation efficiency is further increased. Since the gas in the air guide cavity is in a spiral rotating state, the gas forms a centrifugal force, which further increases the liquefaction efficiency of the water vapor in the gas, and also allows small particles of impurities in the gas to be thrown to the inner wall of the low-temperature chamber through the centrifugal force, which can greatly reduce the impurities entering the buffer tank and prevent the impurities from falling on the liquid collecting bottom plate and causing congestion in the liquid collecting port.

[0017] The present invention is further configured as follows: the low-temperature chamber is provided with an air inlet chamber, the air inlet is connected to the air inlet chamber, the power component adopts a wind wheel structure, the power component is arranged in the air inlet chamber and the air inlet is arranged relatively.

[0031] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] Example:

[0033] A self-draining buffer tank, see first Figure 1 , including a tank body 1, a drainage device 2 arranged in the tank body 1, a low-temperature chamber 3 and an air intake cooling device arranged in the low-temperature chamber 3. The low-temperature chamber 3 is arranged in the tank body 1, but it is not limited to the low-temperature chamber 3 being only arranged in the tank body 1, and it can also be arranged outside the tank body 1. The low-temperature chamber 3 is provided with a connecting hole 11 that communicates with the tank body 1, an air outlet 12 is provided on the side of the tank body 1, and a liquid outlet 13 for drainage is provided at the bottom of the tank body 1.

[0034] See also Figure 2The cryogenic chamber 3 is a long cylindrical cavity structure and is arranged perpendicular to the ground. The cryogenic chamber 3 is welded to the inner wall of the tank body 1. An air inlet chamber 31 is arranged at the upper end of the cryogenic chamber 3. An air inlet 32 ​​is opened on the air inlet chamber 31. The air inlet 32 ​​is tubular and one end is arranged outside the tank body 1. The other end of the air inlet 32 ​​is arranged to be connected with the air inlet chamber 31. The air inlet chamber 31 is provided with a vent hole, which is connected with the upper end of the cryogenic chamber 3. The lower end of the cryogenic chamber 3 is open and threadedly connected with a cover 33. The cover 33 is located at the center of one end of the cryogenic chamber and is clamped with a central conduit 34. The side of the cover 33 is stepped and includes a large diameter The stepped surfaces of the two are sealed and abutted against the end of the cryogenic chamber 3. The small diameter of the cover 33 is located in the cryogenic chamber 3 and is threadedly connected to the cryogenic chamber 3. In this embodiment, the cover 33 and the cryogenic chamber 3 are threadedly connected. The cover 33 and the inner wall of the cryogenic chamber 3 are both provided with threads for threaded connection, but are not limited to threaded connection and can also be fixedly connected by welding or other methods. The central conduit 34 is located in the cryogenic chamber 3 and is in a circular tubular shape and is concentrically arranged with the inner wall of the cryogenic chamber 3. The outer wall of the central conduit 34 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the cryogenic chamber 3. The central conduit 34 and the inner wall of the cryogenic chamber 3 are spaced apart to form a circular columnar gas guide cavity structure. The central A guide plate 35 is convexly arranged on the outer surface of the conduit 34 and toward one end of the air inlet chamber 31. The guide plate 35 is spirally extended toward one end of the central conduit 34 toward the cover 33. The guide plate 35 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the cryogenic chamber 3. The advantage of this spacing is that when the moisture and solid impurities in the gas are thrown to the inner wall of the cryogenic chamber 3 due to the spiral centrifugal force, the liquid and solid impurities can flow downward directly under the action of gravity without being affected by the guide plate 35. The connecting hole of the air inlet chamber 31 is arranged opposite to the guide plate 35. Through the spiral design of the guide plate 35, the gas entering the air guide cavity is driven to spiral downward. state, thereby increasing the residence time of the gas in the cryogenic chamber 3. The centrifugal force generated by the spiral airflow further increases the liquefaction efficiency of the water vapor in the gas, and also causes the small particle impurities in the gas to be thrown to the inner wall of the cryogenic chamber 3 by the centrifugal force. The impurities settle toward the lower part of the cryogenic chamber 3 under the action of gravity. The cover 33 located at the bottom of the cryogenic chamber 3 is provided with a liquid guide pipe 37, which can be arranged opposite to the drainage device 2. A first filter screen 36 is provided between the liquid guide pipe 37 and the gas guide cavity.

After the gas is cooled, the gas is cooled by the entrained water vapor and condenses. The liquid condensed in the cabin 3 passes through the first filter screen 36 and the liquid guide tube 37, and is collected by the liquid collecting bottom plate 211. The liquid collecting bottom plate 211 is provided with a scraper plate 212. The scraper plate 212 collects the liquid condensed on the surface of the liquid collecting bottom plate 211 and scrapes it into the liquid collecting tank 213. The liquid in the liquid collecting tank 213 enters the drainage cylinder 221 through the liquid collecting port 227. The liquid in the drainage cylinder 221 is discharged from the drainage port 228 through the piston 222. The drainage port 228 is connected to the liquid outlet 13 through a pipeline, thereby completing the discharge of the liquid in the buffer tank.
