Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of marine engine piping systems, and in particular to a marine ventilator breathing check device. Background Technology
[0002] When the vent pipe of the subsea valve box is not high enough, water backflow can easily occur when the vessel reverses. If a shut-off valve is added directly to the vent pipe, manual operation is required to open / close the valve, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Moreover, directly closing the valve will prevent the subsea valve box from taking in / exhausting air. If a check valve is added directly to the vent pipe, although it can solve the problems of water backflow and air intake in the seawater valve box, it cannot solve the problem of normal exhaust. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To solve the problem of allowing the seawater valve box to breathe normally (inhale and exhale) while preventing backflow through the vent pipe, the invention proposes a device that is both aesthetically pleasing and compact, yet fully functional—a vent pipe breathing check device.

The hollow buoy moves upward to the first opening, blocking the first opening and preventing seawater from flowing upward.
[0009] In non-reverse operation, the ventilated support plate supports the hollow float, and air can flow between the first opening and the second opening through the ventilated support plate and the hollow float.
[0010] In some embodiments, the breathing check device further includes:
[0011] A sealing ring is disposed on the side edge of the first opening corresponding to the receiving cavity;

[0014] The top connecting pipe is connected to the bottom end of the top connecting pipe through the first opening, and the top end of the top connecting pipe is used to connect to the outside of the hull through a pipe.
[0015] In some embodiments, a first connecting flange is provided on the outer wall of the top end of the top connecting pipe, and the pipe is connected to the top connecting pipe through the first connecting flange.
[0016] In some embodiments, the body includes a main tube and an annular sealing plate;
[0017] The main pipe is a cylindrical pipe, and the diameter of the main pipe is larger than the diameter of the top connecting pipe. The breathable support plate is disposed on the inner wall of the main pipe.
[0018] The annular sealing plate is disposed at the bottom end of the main pipe, and the second opening is provided in the middle of the annular sealing plate;

[0022] In some embodiments, the sealing ring is sandwiched between the second connecting flange and the third connecting flange.
[0023] In some embodiments, the breathing check device further includes:
[0024] The bottom connecting pipe connects the bottom end of the main body to the top end of the bottom connecting pipe via the second opening, and the bottom end of the bottom connecting pipe is used to connect to the seawater valve box via a pipe.
[0025] In some embodiments, a fourth connecting flange is provided on the outer wall of the bottom end of the bottom connecting pipe, and the pipe is connected to the bottom connecting pipe through the fourth connecting flange.
[0026] In some embodiments, the breathable support plate has a support hole in the middle, the diameter of which is smaller than that of the hollow float, for supporting the hollow float, and breathable through holes are provided around the support hole.

[0036] This invention provides a marine ventilator breathing check device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the breathing check device includes:
[0037] The main body 1 has a receiving cavity 10, a first opening 11 at the top for connecting to the outside of the hull through a pipe, and a second opening 12 at the bottom for connecting to a seawater valve box through a pipe.
[0038] The breathable support plate 2 is breathable and is disposed in the receiving cavity 10, dividing the receiving cavity 10 into an upper receiving cavity 13 and a lower receiving cavity 14. The upper receiving cavity 13 is between the breathable support plate 2 and the first opening 11, and the lower receiving cavity 14 is between the breathable support plate 2 and the second opening 12.
[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the breathable support plate 2 has a support hole 15 in the middle. The diameter of the support hole 14 is smaller than that of the hollow float 3, which is used to support the hollow float 3. Breathable through holes 16 are provided around the support hole 2.
[0040] A hollow float 3 is disposed in the upper receiving cavity 13, and the diameter of the hollow float 3 is larger than that of the first opening 11. In some embodiments, the surface of the hollow float 3 is made of rubber. The rubber material has good sealing performance, which can improve the sealing performance of the first opening 11.
[0041] Installation of the breathing check device as follows Figure 3 As shown. The breathing check device is installed in the venting line of the seawater valve box, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the main body 1 is placed vertically, and the breathable support plate 2 is parallel to the deck surface.
[0042] In non-reverse operation, the ventilated support plate 2 supports the hollow float 3, and air can flow between the ventilated support plate 2 and the hollow float 3 between the first opening 11 and the second opening 12.
[0043] In the reverse flow condition, seawater flows upward along the pipe from the seabed gate, enters the receiving cavity 10 through the second opening 12, and floats up after impacting the hollow buoy 3 via the ventilated support plate 2. The hollow buoy 3 then moves upward to the first opening 11, as... Figure 1 As shown in the dotted circle, the first opening 11 is blocked to prevent seawater from flowing upwards. When the water flow collides with the hollow buoy 3, it instantly falls back to the seabed gate. Under its own weight, the hollow buoy 3 also automatically falls to the ventilated support plate 2, restoring normal ventilation.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sealing ring 4 is sandwiched between the second connecting flange 22 and the third connecting flange 23. Here, the sealing ring 4 can be, for example, an aramid rubber gasket.
[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the breathing check device also includes:
[0059] The bottom connecting pipe 8 is connected to the top of the body 1 via the second opening 12. The bottom end of the bottom connecting pipe 8 is used to connect to the seawater valve box via a pipe. Here, the bottom connecting pipe 8 can be made of seamless steel pipe, for example.
