Background Art

[0002] The existing gas drainer equipment on the market is prone to gas leakage due to insufficient water seal height when dealing with pressure fluctuations in the gas pipeline network, which may lead to safety accidents. Conventional gas drainers need to be filled with water before they are officially put into operation to achieve the designed water seal height; when the water seal of a conventional gas drainer is punctured, the sealing component is in a state of gas seal water, and without external interference, the condensed water in the pipeline network cannot be discharged normally; therefore, manual resetting is often required, or electric devices are used to restore the drainer to a normal working state, accompanied by water replenishment operations. The steps are cumbersome, and there is a high reliance on patrol inspectors, which increases the workload of patrol inspectors. Summary of the invention

[0018] The feature is that: the valve body 5 of the drainer is divided into three chambers by a bundle partition, and a water inlet pipe 1 and a sealing pipe mounting seat 6 are provided at the top of the first chamber; the upper end of the water inlet pipe 1 is connected to the gas pipeline to guide the condensed water in the gas network into the first chamber of the drainer. The water inlet pipe 1 is provided with a return air hole 3 on the pipe wall located in the first chamber of the drainer, which is used to balance the pressure of the gas in the first chamber of the drainer valve body 5 and the gas in the gas network. The water inlet pipe 1 is provided with a detection port 2 on the pipe wall located outside the first chamber of the drainer, and the pressure value in the water inlet pipe can be observed and recorded by installing monitoring elements such as a pressure gauge; the sealing pipe mounting seat 6 is used to fix the sealing pipe 7, and the top of the sealing pipe 7 is provided with a guide pipe mounting seat 15, and the bottom is processed with a threaded port for connecting with the valve seat 42 in the anti-leakage device 4; the top of the sealing pipe 7 is connected to the guide pipe 181 to the second chamber, and the condensed water can be transferred from the first chamber to the second chamber.

[0019] The anti-leakage device 4 is composed of a U-shaped connecting plate 41, a valve seat 42, a sealing valve plate 43, a split ring 44, a connecting rod 45, a floating ball assembly 46, a pin 148, and a pin 247; the sealing valve plate 43 is composed of a sealing ring mounting seat 431, a sealing ring 432, and a large cylindrical head screw 433. The valve seat 42 is connected to the bottom plane of the sealing tube 7 by threading; the U-shaped connecting plate 41 is welded to the bottom of the sealing tube 7 during assembly; the connecting rod 45 indirectly fixes the sealing valve plate 43 by welding the split ring 44; the connecting rod is connected to the U-shaped connecting block 41 by pin 148; the connecting rod 45 is connected to the floating ball assembly 46 by pin 247; the sealing valve plate 43 is fixed to the sealing ring 432 by the large cylindrical head screw 433 and the groove processed on the sealing ring mounting seat 431.

[0020] Two guide pipe mounting seats 15 are provided on the top of the second chamber of the drainer. The two guide pipe mounting seats 15 are connected to the first chamber through guide pipes 181 and the guide pipe 282 is connected to the third chamber respectively, so as to reduce and transfer the water and gas pressures.

[0021] A guide pipe mounting seat 15 and a water seal pipe mounting seat 12 are provided at the top of the third chamber of the drainer; a water seal pipe 13 is installed on the water seal pipe mounting seat 12; an overflow pipe mounting seat is provided on the top of the water seal pipe 13, and a thread is processed on the bottom for connecting with a one-way valve 14.

[0022] The normal working principle of the drain is as follows: when water enters the water inlet pipe 1 of the drain, condensed water accumulates in the first chamber of the drain, the float assembly 46 generates buoyancy in the water, driving the connecting rod 45 to pull the sealing valve plate 43 away from the valve seat 42, and the condensed water in the first chamber enters the sealing pipe 7 from the valve seat 42, and enters the guide pipe 181 along the sealing pipe 7, and the liquid level in the guide pipe 181 continues to rise. When the water level in the guide pipe 181 reaches the highest point, the condensed water enters the second chamber of the drain, and the liquid level in the guide pipe 181 automatically forms a water seal height; the second chamber of the drain begins to accumulate condensed water, and when the condensed water level in the second chamber reaches When the water level in the second chamber reaches the lower end of the flow guide pipe 282, the condensed water is pressurized and enters the flow guide pipe 282 that connects the second chamber and the third chamber. When the water level in the flow guide pipe 282 reaches the highest point, the condensed water enters the third chamber of the drainer, and the liquid level in the flow guide pipe 282 automatically forms a water seal height. The third chamber of the drainer begins to accumulate condensed water. When the condensed water level in the third chamber reaches the lower end of the water seal pipe 13 in the third chamber, the condensed water is pressurized and enters the water seal pipe 13. Due to the presence of the one-way valve 14 at the bottom of the water seal pipe, the direction of the fluid is controlled from bottom to top. After the condensed water enters the water seal pipe 13, it is not affected by the height of the liquid level in the third chamber, and forms a separate water seal. The condensed water enters the outlet pipe 10 along the water seal pipe 13, and the liquid level in the outlet pipe 10 continues to rise. When the liquid level in the outlet pipe 10 reaches the top, the condensed water flows along the pipe wall into the overflow funnel 11 and enters the subsequent sewage pool for centralized treatment.

[0023] The working principle of the drainer in response to the increase of gas pipe network pressure is as follows: when the pressure in the gas pipe network is greater than the sum of the water seal heights of the guide pipe 181, the guide pipe 282 and the water seal pipe 13, the water seal height of the drainer is punctured, and the condensed water in the first chamber of the drainer is discharged in large quantities from the valve seat through the guide pipe 181, the guide pipe 282 and the outlet pipe under the action of high pressure. The liquid level in the first chamber drops, the float assembly 46 loses buoyancy, and slowly drops under the action of gravity, driving the connecting rod 45 to press the sealing valve plate 43 tightly against the valve seat 42, thereby blocking the gas from entering the valve seat 42 and preventing the gas from leaking.

[0024] The principle of the drainer resuming normal operation is as follows: when the pressure in the gas network is less than the sum of the water seal heights of the guide pipe 181, the guide pipe 282 and the water seal pipe 13, the condensed water in each guide pipe flows back into each compartment under the action of gravity, and the float assembly 46 is re-immersed in water to generate buoyancy, which drives the connecting rod 45 again to move the sealing valve plate 43 away from the valve seat 42, and the drainer automatically returns to normal operation.

[0025] The connection between the sealing pipe mounting seat 6, the guide pipe mounting seat 15, the water seal pipe mounting seat 12, the sealing pipe 7, the outlet pipe 10, and the water seal pipe 13 is bolted and nut connected, and the end face O-ring sealing ring is adopted for sealing. The drainer body is provided with an overflow funnel 11, which is fixed by welding. The overflow funnel 11 is arranged below the outlet pipe 10. The first chamber cylinder wall of the drainer is provided with a mounting port 19, and the mounting port cover plate 18 is connected to the mounting port 19 by bolts; the second and third chamber cylinder walls of the drainer are provided with a sewage outlet 17, and the sewage outlet cover plate 16 is connected to the sewage outlet 17 by bolts; the mounting port cover plate 18 and the sewage outlet cover plate 16 are connected with a sewage valve 20. The sewage valve 20 can be opened regularly to drain the sewage in the drainer, and the mounting port cover plate 18 and the sewage outlet cover plate 16 can be opened later to clean the sludge inside each compartment with tools.
