Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of production auxiliary equipment in an explosive production workshop, in particular to a centrifugal pump water delivery pipeline with an automatic air exhaust device. Background Art
[0002] The elevated water tank in the explosives production workshop is approximately 50 meters above the production line. This height difference provides water for production and firefighting. To ensure a sufficient level of water in the elevated water tank, a centrifugal pump is used to pump water from the lower reservoir to the elevated water tank. Currently, water replenishment is performed manually by starting and stopping the pump. The centrifugal pump piping system includes a bottom valve, which primarily serves as a one-way, sealing function to ensure air is free from the centrifugal pump's suction pipe. However, impurities in the water and wear often prevent the valve from sealing properly, preventing the centrifugal pump from pumping properly. Currently, the suction pipe must be manually filled and vented before the pump can start properly. However, manual filling is tedious, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, placing heavy strain on operators. Therefore, a centrifugal pump water supply pipeline with an automatic air venting device is urgently needed to automatically control manual filling and venting. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Furthermore, a solenoid valve is provided on the production water pipe, and the battery valve is electrically connected to the PLC controller.
[0011] Furthermore, the exhaust valve is located between the centrifugal pump body and the water injection valve.
[0012] Furthermore, the effective volume of the cone bucket is 1.5 times greater than the volume of the connecting pipe section between the exhaust valve and the bottom valve.
[0013] Furthermore, the liquid level detection probe includes a high-level probe and a low-level probe, and the vertical distance between the two is 10-15 cm.

[0025] To illustrate the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following description is given in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 , a centrifugal pump water pipeline with an automatic air exhaust device, comprising:
[0027] A high-level water reservoir 1 is provided with a float liquid level switch 11 in the high-level water reservoir 1. A water supply pipe 12 is provided on the bottom of the side wall of the high-level water reservoir 1, and a production water pipe 13 is provided on the water supply pipe 12;
[0028] A low-level water reservoir 2 is provided in the low-level water reservoir 2. A bottom valve 3 is provided on the bottom valve 3. A connecting pipe 31 is provided on the connecting pipe 31. A first branch pipe 311 and a second branch pipe 312 are provided on the connecting pipe 31. The first branch pipe 311 is connected to the water supply pipe 12. A water injection valve 3111 is provided on the first branch pipe 311. The second branch pipe 312 is provided with an exhaust valve 3121 and a cone hopper 3122. The cone hopper 3122 is located behind the exhaust valve 3121. A liquid level detection probe 4 is provided in the cone hopper 3122.
[0029] The liquid level relay 5 is electrically connected to the liquid level detection probe 4;
[0030] The centrifugal pump body 6 is connected to the connecting pipe 31, which is connected to the water supply pipe 12. The suction pipe of the centrifugal pump is located after the water injection valve 3111 and the exhaust valve 3121;
[0031] The PLC controller 7 is electrically connected to the water injection valve 3111 , the exhaust valve 3121 , the float liquid level switch 11 , the liquid level relay 5 and the centrifugal pump body 6 .
[0032] In the above embodiment, when the production water pipe is used to output water from the high-level water reservoir 1, and the water level in the high-level water reservoir 1 drops to a certain height, the float level switch 11 transmits a signal to the PLC controller 7. The PLC controller 7 first opens the exhaust valve 3121, and then opens the water injection valve 3111 0.5 seconds later. The water in the high-level water reservoir 1 is injected into the connecting pipe 31 through the first branch pipe 311, and the gas in the connecting pipe 31 is discharged from the cone 3122, thereby allowing the water in the connecting pipe 31 to flow into the cone 3122. When the liquid level detection probe 4 detects the water level in the cone 3122, it transmits a detection signal to the PLC controller 7 through the liquid level relay 5. The PLC controller 7 simultaneously controls the exhaust valve 3121 and the water injection valve 3111 to stop, and starts the centrifugal pump to inject water into the high-level water reservoir 1. Compared with the existing technology, it can realize automatic control of manual water injection and exhaust.
[0033] As an optional implementation, a solenoid valve is provided on the production water pipe, and the battery valve 131 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 7 .
[0034] In the above embodiment, the solenoid valve is opened and the production water pipe outputs water. When the float liquid level switch 11 transmits a signal to the PLC controller 7, the PLC controller 7 opens the exhaust valve 3121 and the water injection valve 3111.
[0035] As an optional embodiment, the exhaust valve 3121 is located between the centrifugal pump body 6 and the water injection valve 3111 .
[0036] As an optional embodiment, the effective volume of the cone bucket 3122 is greater than 1.5 times the volume of the pipe section of the connecting pipe 31 between the exhaust valve 3121 and the bottom valve 3.
[0037] In the above embodiment, the volume ratio is limited to ensure that the cone bucket 3122 has enough space to accommodate the gas and part of the water discharged from the pipeline, avoiding premature triggering of the liquid level probe resulting in incomplete exhaust and ensuring the effectiveness of water injection.
[0038] As an optional embodiment, the liquid level detection probe 4 includes a high-level probe 42 and a low-level probe 41 , and the vertical distance between the two is 10-15 cm.
[0039] In the above embodiment, when the low-level probe detects the water level, the water injection valve 3111 and the exhaust valve 3121 are maintained open. When the high-level probe detects the water level, the water injection valve 3111 and the exhaust valve 3121 are synchronously closed and the centrifugal pump is started. By setting the low-level probe 41 to trigger, it is possible to ensure that gas is discharged from the pipeline and water flows into the cone 3122. The high-level probe 42 is triggered to ensure that sufficient water accumulates in the cone 3122, forming a water seal to prevent gas from entering the cone, and completely avoiding the risk of cavitation when starting the centrifugal pump body 6.
[0040] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent transformations made using the contents of the present invention's description and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
