Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of float traps, and in particular to a differential pressure double-valve flap lever float assembly and a float trap. Background Art

[0002] Steam traps are also called automatic drains or condensate drains. They are divided into steam system and gas system types. Steam traps are installed at the end of the steam-heated pipeline to continuously discharge the condensate in the steam-heated pipeline to the outside of the pipeline.

[0003] The float trap is a relatively complex large-displacement trap. The ones on the market are generally single-spool direct-displacement ones, with direct action without buffering and limited displacement. Without buffering, it is easy to cause hard contact damage between the valve core and the valve seat, and the service life is worrying. In addition, for large discharge holes, because the opening force is correspondingly increased, the size and weight of the float mechanism must be increased and strengthened accordingly, and the space size and weight of the entire valve body are also synchronously enlarged, which is not conducive to cost control and installation access. Summary of the invention

[0004] The invention provides a differential pressure double valve flap lever float assembly and a float steam trap, aiming to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problems is as follows:

[0006] A differential pressure double valve flap lever float assembly, comprising a main valve seat, a main valve flap, a pilot valve seat, a pilot valve core, a float and a float seat, wherein the main valve seat is provided with a through discharge orifice; the main valve flap is located at one end of the main valve seat, the interior of which is hollow and the end close to the discharge orifice is provided with a through hole; the pilot valve seat is fixedly mounted at the through hole, the interior of which is provided with a through discharge passage, and the end of the pilot valve seat located in the main valve flap is provided with a plurality of through small holes evenly spaced apart; the pilot valve core passes through the other end of the main valve flap, and one end of the pilot valve core extends into the other end of the pilot valve seat and slides in contact with the discharge passage;

[0007] The float seat is fixedly installed on the right side of the main valve seat; the float is rotatably connected to the float seat up and down through a float connecting rod, and one end of the float connecting rod connected to the main valve seat is rotatably connected to the other end of the pilot valve core through a connecting assembly.

[0008] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that when the condensed water level inside the steam trap rises to a certain position, the buoyancy of the float overcomes its gravity and floats up, and the buoyancy moment acts on the pilot valve core through the connecting component, driving it to move away from the pilot valve seat, thereby opening the pilot valve first.

[0009] At this time, the pressure P2 in the main valve disc inside the pilot valve will be equal to the pressure P3 at the steam trap outlet, and a pressure difference will be generated with the pressure P1 inside the steam trap. This pressure difference will compress the variable pressure chamber and drive the main valve disc to move away from the valve seat discharge orifice, opening the main valve to discharge condensate.

[0010] The advantage of the lever float mechanism with this differential pressure double disc structure is that a larger main valve can be opened by relying on the action of the pilot valve, so that it can have a very large drainage capacity and is suitable for draining large amounts of condensate in pipelines.

[0011] When the condensate level inside the steam trap is too low and the buoyancy of the float cannot overcome its gravity and float up, the gravity torque of the lever mechanism will act on the pilot valve core through the connecting assembly and drive it to move toward the pilot valve seat. The two will first contact and close the pilot valve.

[0012] At this time, the pressure P1 inside the steam trap is equal to the pressure P2 inside the pilot valve caused by the main valve disc. There is no pressure difference between the two, so the variable pressure chamber cannot be compressed.

[0013] The pilot valve core will continue to drive the main valve disc to move toward the discharge orifice on the valve seat, and make its functional surface contact and seal with the discharge orifice on the main valve seat to close the main valve; at this time, both the pilot valve and the main valve are closed, thereby preventing steam leakage.

[0014] The present invention adopts a double valve core, which can solve the large pressure difference in advance, thereby realizing opening the large valve core with a small force.

[0015] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a pilot valve bellows, which is fixedly sleeved outside the main valve disc, and the other end of the pilot valve core passes through the pilot valve bellows; the other end of the main valve disc is open and fits against the inner wall of the pilot valve bellows.

[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is simple structure and reasonable design. The pilot valve bellows and the main valve disc form a closed cavity. At this time, the pressure P2 in the pilot valve caused by the main valve disc will be equal to the pressure P3 at the outlet of the steam trap, and a pressure difference will be generated with the pressure P1 inside the steam trap. The pressure difference will compress the variable pressure chamber and drive the main valve disc to move away from the valve seat discharge orifice, so as to open the main valve to discharge condensed water.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a pilot valve cylinder, which is sleeved outside the pilot valve bellows.

[0019] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further solution are simple structure, reasonable design, and utilizing the pilot valve cylinder to protect the pilot valve bellows.

[0020] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes two float levers, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the float seat. One end of the float lever is rotatably connected to the corresponding end of the float connecting rod through a pin shaft, and the other end is rotatably connected to both ends of the connecting shaft. The connecting shaft is threadedly connected to the corresponding end of the guide valve core and can move back and forth along the preset opening groove on the float seat.

[0021] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further solution are simple structure and reasonable design. During the process of the float ball floating up and down, the float ball connecting rod cooperates with two float ball levers to drive the valve core of the pilot valve to move.

[0022] Furthermore, a compression spring seat is fixedly provided on the portion of the pilot valve core located inside the main valve disc, and a compression spring is provided on the portion of the pilot valve core located inside the main valve disc, and two ends of the compression spring are respectively abutted against the compression spring seat and the corresponding ends of the main valve disc.

[0023] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further solution are simple structure, reasonable design, and the pilot valve core can be returned by using a compression spring, which is convenient to use.

[0024] The present invention also relates to a float steam trap, comprising a valve body and a valve cover, and also comprising the differential pressure type double valve flap lever float assembly as described above, wherein the valve body is provided with an inlet and an outlet; the valve cover is fixedly mounted on the valve body, and the main valve seat, the main valve flap and the float are respectively mounted in the valve cover; the inlet is connected to the cavity inside the valve cover, and the discharge orifice is connected to the outlet.

[0025] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further solution are simple structure, reasonable design, using the valve body and the valve cover to form a mounting carrier, and facilitating the introduction of steam and the discharge of condensed water.

[0026] Furthermore, a guide seat is fixedly installed between the outlet and the discharge orifice, the interior of the guide seat is hollow and the two ends are open, and the two ends of the guide seat are respectively connected with the outlet and the discharge orifice; the guide seat is provided with an exhaust passage running through the inside and outside, and an exhaust component is installed at one end of the exhaust passage.

[0027] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further solution are simple structure and reasonable design. On the one hand, the guide seat can be used to guide the discharge of condensed water, and on the other hand, the exhaust component can be used to exhaust the air.

[0028] Furthermore, a filter screen is fixedly installed at the inlet.

[0029] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further solution are simple structure, reasonable design, and the use of the filter net to filter out impurities in the steam to ensure the overall working performance of the steam trap.

[0030] Furthermore, the valve cover is evenly spaced apart with a plurality of mounting holes penetrating inside and outside, and plugs are respectively installed at the plurality of mounting holes.

[0050] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0051] Example 1

[0052] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this embodiment provides a differential pressure type double valve disc lever float assembly, including a main valve seat 15, a main valve disc 9, a pilot valve seat 7, a pilot valve core 6, a float 4 and a float seat 1, wherein the main valve seat 15 is provided with a through discharge orifice 20; the main valve disc 9 is located at one end of the main valve seat 15, and its interior is hollow and its end close to the discharge orifice 20 is provided with a through hole; the pilot valve seat 7 is fixedly installed at the through hole, and a through discharge channel is provided therein, and a plurality of through small holes 21 are evenly spaced at one end of the pilot valve seat 7 located in the main valve disc 9; the pilot valve core 6 penetrates the other end of the main valve disc 9, and one end thereof extends into the other end of the pilot valve seat 7 and slides in contact with the discharge channel;

[0053] The float seat 1 is fixedly installed on the right side of the main valve seat 15; the float 4 is connected to the float seat 1 for vertical rotation via the float connecting rod 2, and one end of the float connecting rod 2 connected to the main valve seat 15 is connected to the other end of the pilot valve core 6 for rotation via a connecting assembly.

[0054] When the condensate level inside the steam trap rises to a certain position, the buoyancy of the float 4 overcomes its gravity and floats up. The buoyancy moment acts on the pilot valve core 6 through the connecting assembly and drives it to move away from the pilot valve seat 7, thus opening the pilot valve first.

[0055] At this time, the pressure P2 in the main valve disc 9 inside the pilot valve will be equal to the pressure P3 at the steam trap outlet, and a pressure difference will be generated with the pressure P1 inside the steam trap. This pressure difference will compress the variable pressure chamber and drive the main valve disc 9 to move away from the valve seat discharge orifice 20, opening the main valve to discharge condensate.

[0056] The advantage of the lever float mechanism with this differential pressure double disc structure is that a larger main valve can be opened by relying on the action of the pilot valve, so that it can have a very large drainage capacity and is suitable for draining large amounts of condensate in pipelines.

[0057] When the condensate level inside the steam trap is too low and the buoyancy of the float 4 cannot overcome its gravity and float up, the gravity torque of the lever mechanism will act on the pilot valve core 6 through the connecting assembly and drive it to move toward the pilot valve seat 7. The two will first contact and close the pilot valve.

[0058] At this time, the pressure P1 inside the steam trap is equal to the pressure P2 inside the pilot valve by the main valve disc 9, and there is no pressure difference between the two, so the variable pressure chamber cannot be compressed.

[0059] The pilot valve core 6 will continue to drive the main valve disc 9 to move toward the discharge orifice 20 on the valve seat, and make its functional surface contact and fit tightly with the discharge orifice on the main valve seat to close the main valve; at this time, since both the pilot valve and the main valve are closed, steam leakage is prevented.

[0066] This solution has a simple structure and a reasonable design. The pilot valve bellows 11 and the main valve disc 9 are used to form a closed cavity. At this time, the pressure P2 in the cavity formed by the main valve disc 9 and the pilot valve bellows 11 inside the pilot valve will be equal to the pressure P3 at the outlet of the steam trap, and a pressure difference will be generated with the pressure P1 inside the steam trap. The pressure difference will compress the variable pressure chamber and drive the main valve disc 9 to move away from the valve seat discharge orifice 20, so as to open the main valve to discharge condensed water.

[0106] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0107] When the condensate level inside the steam trap rises to a certain position, the buoyancy of the float 4 overcomes its gravity and floats up. The buoyancy moment acts on the pilot valve core 6 through the connecting assembly and drives it to move away from the pilot valve seat 7, thus opening the pilot valve first.

[0108] At this time, the pressure P2 in the variable pressure chamber formed by the main valve disc 9 and the pilot valve bellows 11 inside the pilot valve will be equal to the pressure P3 at the outlet of the steam trap, and a pressure difference will be generated with the pressure P1 inside the steam trap. This pressure difference will compress the variable pressure chamber and drive the main valve disc 9 to move away from the valve seat discharge orifice 20, opening the main valve to discharge condensate.

[0109] The advantage of the lever float mechanism with this differential pressure double disc structure is that a larger main valve can be opened by relying on the action of the pilot valve, so that it can have a very large drainage capacity and is suitable for draining large amounts of condensate in pipelines.

[0110] When the condensate level inside the steam trap is too low and the buoyancy of the float 4 cannot overcome its gravity and float up, the gravity torque of the lever mechanism will act on the pilot valve core 6 through the connecting assembly and drive it to move toward the pilot valve seat 7. The two will first contact and close the pilot valve.

[0111] At this time, the pressure P1 inside the steam trap is equal to the pressure P2 in the variable pressure chamber formed by the main valve disc 9 and the pilot valve bellows 11 inside the pilot valve. There is no pressure difference between the two, so the variable pressure chamber cannot be compressed.

[0112] The pilot valve core 6 will continue to drive the main valve disc 9 to move toward the discharge orifice 20 on the valve seat, and make its functional surface contact and fit tightly with the discharge orifice on the main valve seat to close the main valve; at this time, since both the pilot valve and the main valve are closed, steam leakage is prevented.

[0113] It should be noted that the attached Fig.10 The arc arrow in the figure only indicates the floating direction of the float 4 and has no other substantial meaning.

[0114] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention.
