Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning condensate separation technology, and in particular to a water collection and separation mechanism for radiant air conditioning. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of radiant air conditioning systems in green buildings, the collection and treatment of condensate generated during summer cooling has become an increasingly important concern. The surface temperature of the radiant components in radiant air conditioning systems is relatively low, and when the ambient air humidity is high, a large amount of condensate will condense on the component surface. If the condensate cannot be collected and separated in a timely and effective manner, it may lead to ceiling leaks, mold growth on decorative materials, and even indoor air quality problems. Therefore, installing condensate trays, collection tanks, and separation and filtration devices in radiant air conditioning systems has become a common practice in the industry.

[0003] Existing condensate separation and filtration devices, such as the cooling water filtration device for central air conditioning disclosed in Chinese patent CN215427699U, typically include a filter box, a removable filter plate, and a manual unlocking mechanism. Users determine the degree of clogging of the filter plate by observing the float window, and then manually operate the gear and rack mechanism to unlock the side cover and remove the filter plate for cleaning. While these devices are practical for conventional cooling water treatment, they reveal several shortcomings when applied to radiant air conditioning condensate systems. If the device relies solely on a fixed liquid level threshold to trigger an alarm, it cannot distinguish between normal water level fluctuations and rapid blockage faults, resulting in an extremely high false alarm rate. Furthermore, it lacks rate detection capabilities and cannot predict the degree of blockage worsening. Additionally, it only has physical filtration functions, and due to the low temperature and high organic content of the condensate, it is highly susceptible to the growth of pathogenic microorganisms such as Legionella and mold. Without an automatic dosing and antibacterial soaking structure, the filter plates are prone to biofilm and spore adhesion after long-term use. Manual disassembly and cleaning can easily release bacterial aerosols, posing a safety hazard. Moreover, it cannot guarantee the soaking time and concentration of the chemical solution, resulting in poor cleaning and antibacterial effects. Therefore, a water collection and separation mechanism for radiant air conditioning is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies and improve collection efficiency, this application provides a water collection and separation mechanism for radiant air conditioning systems. This mechanism offers advantages such as the ability to identify blockage rates, automatic chemical dosing for disinfection, and reduced maintenance risks, thus solving the aforementioned problems.

[0005] This application provides a water collection and separation mechanism for radiant air conditioning, employing the following technical solution: A water collection and separation mechanism for radiant air conditioning includes a water collection mechanism consisting of a radiant component, a water collection tray, a water collection tank, a separation tank, and a drainage main pipe. The separation tank has a separation chamber inside, wherein a separation plate is detachably installed inside the separation chamber, and a drain pipe communicating with the separation chamber is installed on the bottom flange of the separation tank. The separation box is equipped with a detection module for detecting the separation plate. The detection module includes a buoyancy ball, a detection component, a warning structure, and an infusion component. The buoyancy ball is located inside the separation chamber and is connected and cooperates with the detection component. The detection component cooperates with the buoyancy ball to drive the warning structure and the infusion component. The detection assembly includes a limiting seat, a drive seat, a detection rod, a guide rod, a centrifugal block, a pressure block, and a return spring. The guide rod is threaded through the interior of the limiting seat. The detection rod has a guide groove inside that surrounds its outer surface, and a ball bearing that rolls with the guide groove is rotatably mounted at the end of the guide rod. The bottom end of the detection rod is connected and fixed to the top side of the buoyancy ball and moves upward by the buoyancy of the buoyancy ball. Combined with the rolling engagement of the ball bearing and the guide groove, the centrifugal block is displaced and the drive seat is rotated. This not only enables the detection of the separation plate but also activates the alarm and infusion functions.

[0006] Optionally: the water collection tray is snap-fitted to the bottom side of the radiant component, a drain branch pipe is installed between the bottom side of the water collection tray and the main drain pipe via a flange, and an infusion pipe is installed between the water collection tank and the separation tank, wherein a solenoid valve is installed on both the infusion pipe and the drain pipe.

[0007] Optionally, the detection module further includes a support assembly, which includes a support frame seat bolted to the top side of the separation box, a support frame one and a support frame two respectively fixed to the outer wall of the support frame seat, and the warning structure and the infusion assembly are respectively installed on the support frame seat and the support frame two.

[0008] Optionally: the limiting seat is fixed to the top side of the separation box, the driving seat is rotatably mounted on the top side of the limiting seat, the detection rod is T-shaped and extends through the inside of the limiting seat into the driving seat, and the inner side of the driving seat is provided with several annularly distributed slots.

[0009] Optionally: the end of the centrifuge block is telescopically connected to the inside of the detection rod, and the end of the return spring is connected to the inside of the centrifuge block and the detection rod respectively. The pressure block is detachably installed on the outside of the centrifuge block and is adapted to the slot. The number of centrifuge blocks is three.

[0010] Optionally, the detection component further includes a locking element and a lifting indicator rod disposed on the drive seat. The locking element includes a positioning rod, and a return spring 2 is installed on the outer surface of both the positioning rod and the lifting indicator rod. The positioning rod passes through the interior of the support frame 1. The interior of the drive seat is provided with a positioning groove that engages with the positioning rod. When the drive seat rotates at a certain angle, the positioning rod is inserted into the positioning groove by the deformation of the return spring 2 to lock.

[0011] Optionally: The lifting indicator rod is rotatably mounted on the top side of the detection rod, and the top side of the lifting indicator rod penetrates the interior of the drive seat. The guide groove is composed of a straight groove and a spiral groove, and the straight groove and the spiral groove are connected on opposite sides. The buoyancy ball is provided with a guide frame fixed to the top wall of the separation chamber. The outer surface of the guide frame is fitted with a connecting sleeve that is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the buoyancy ball.

[0012] Optional: The warning structure includes a slide, a roller, a bracket, a knocking rod, an alarm block, and a guide seat. The guide seat is ring-shaped and fixed to the outer surface of the drive seat, and the outer side of the guide seat is provided with a wavy surface. The roller bearing is installed on one side of the slide and abuts against the wavy surface of the guide seat. The slide slides through the inside of the support frame. The infusion assembly is connected to the right side of the slide. A return spring is fixed between the slide and the support frame.

[0013] Optionally: The number of brackets is two and they are symmetrically fixed to the outer wall of the support frame. The middle part of the knocking rod is hinged to the opposite side of the two brackets, and the bottom end of the knocking rod is hinged to the right side of the slide. The alarm block is located below the knocking rod and fixed to the support frame. By rotating the drive seat, the wave surface of the guide seat drives the slide to move back and forth, thereby driving the knocking rod to swing back and forth to strike the alarm block, and at the same time activating the infusion assembly to perform the infusion function.

[0014] Optional: The infusion assembly includes a hollow cylinder, a piston, two valve tubes and two infusion tubes. One end of the piston extends into the cylinder and is slidably connected, and the other end of the piston is threaded with a connector. The other end of the connector is fitted with a connecting plate that is fixed to the slide. The two ends of the infusion tube are respectively connected to the separation chamber and one of the valve tubes, and the end of the infusion tube connected to the separation chamber has an expansion area with a trumpet shape inside.

[0015] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. In this invention, when the separator plate begins to get clogged but has not yet completely failed, the water level in the separator chamber will rise, and the liquid level can be observed by the lifting indicator rod. Once the blockage of the separator plate extends, the warning structure will be triggered to issue a knocking alarm, and maintenance personnel can intervene in advance to clean or replace the separator plate to avoid condensate overflow due to complete blockage.

[0016] 2. In this invention, the infusion assembly automatically pumps bactericide into the separation chamber when the alarm is triggered, and automatically closes the inlet and outlet solenoid valves after the alarm is triggered, allowing the agent to remain immersed in the separation chamber for a long time. Through the treatment method of high concentration and long contact time, the bacteria and spores attached to the separation plate can be inactivated. When maintenance personnel open the inspection cover later, the release of bacterial aerosol is greatly reduced, effectively protecting the health of the operators.

[0017] 3. In this invention, after the warning structure issues a knocking alarm, it automatically inserts into the positioning slot with the positioning rod to lock, ensuring that even if the liquid level in the separation chamber fluctuates briefly due to adding medicine or draining, the drive seat will not be mistakenly reset. At the same time, the staff can use the alarm to keep track of time and open the separation box only after the medicine has soaked in the separation chamber for a certain period of time.

[0020] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-9 This application will be described in further detail.

[0021] This application discloses a water collection and separation mechanism for radiant air conditioning, comprising a water collection mechanism 1 consisting of a radiant component 11, a water collection tray 12, a water collection tank 13, a separation box 14, and a drainage main pipe 15. The separation box 14 has a separation chamber 141 inside, and at least one separation plate 142 is detachably installed inside the separation chamber 141. A drain pipe 143 communicating with the separation chamber 141 is installed on the bottom flange of the separation box 14, and a solenoid valve is installed on the drain pipe 143. The exterior of the separation box 14 is provided with an openable inspection cover for replacing or cleaning the separation plate 142. It should be noted that there are multiple water collection and separation mechanisms, with multiple separation boxes 14 connected in parallel, sharing a single water collection tank 13 and drainage main pipe 15. Each separation box 14 has an independent switching valve installed at its inlet and outlet. When the detection module 2 of one separation box 14 triggers an alarm, the system can automatically switch to another standby separation box 14 to continue operation, while keeping the faulty separation box 14 isolated for maintenance.

[0022] like Figures 3-9As shown, a detection module 2 is provided on the separation chamber 14. Specifically, the detection module 2 includes a buoyancy ball 22, a detection component 23, a warning structure 24, and an infusion component 25. The buoyancy ball 22 is located inside the separation chamber 141 and is externally fitted with a guide frame 26. The guide frame 26 is fixed to the inner top wall of the separation chamber 141. The buoyancy ball 22 is slidably connected to the guide frame 26 through a connecting rotating sleeve 27 to ensure that the buoyancy ball 22 rises and falls vertically without tilting. It should be noted that the buoyancy ball 22 is made of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), which has excellent chemical corrosion resistance. In this embodiment, the detection module 2 also includes a support component 21. The support component 21 includes a support frame seat 211 bolted to the top side of the separation chamber 14, a first support frame 212 and a second support frame 213 respectively fixed to the outer wall of the support frame seat 211, and the warning structure 24 and the infusion component 25 are respectively installed on the support frame seat 211 and the second support frame 213.

[0023] like Figures 5-7 As shown, the detection assembly 23 includes a limiting seat 231, a drive seat 232, a detection rod 234, a guide rod 235, a centrifugal block 238, a pressure block 239, and a return spring 2310. The limiting seat 231 is fixed to the top wall of the separation box 14. The drive seat 232 is rotatably mounted on the top of the limiting seat 231 via a bearing. The lower end of the detection rod 234 passes through the limiting seat 231 and is fixedly connected to the buoyancy ball 22, while the upper end of the detection rod 234 extends into the drive seat 232; as shown... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the guide rod 235 is threaded onto the side wall of the limiting seat 231, and its end extends into the guide groove 237 opened on the outer surface of the detection rod 234. Specifically, the guide groove 237 consists of a lower vertical straight groove and an upper spiral groove. A ball bearing 236 is rotatably mounted on the end of the guide rod 235, and the ball bearing 236 rolls with the guide groove 237. It should be noted that the lower section of the guide groove 237 is a vertical straight groove, and the upper section is a spiral groove. In the initial stage of the rise of the detection rod 234, the ball bearing 236 moves in the straight groove, and the detection rod 234 only rises without rotating. Only when it rises to a certain height, i.e., when the blockage is more obvious, does the ball bearing 236 enter the spiral groove, begin to rotate, and accumulate angular velocity. The segmented setting creates a time delay and energy storage effect. The detection rod 234 first rises in a straight line for a certain distance, allowing the buoyancy ball 22 to fully acquire buoyancy potential energy, and then suddenly starts to rotate, making the angular acceleration at the moment of rotation start higher, and making it easier for the centrifugal block 238 to be thrown out; if the entire section is a spiral groove, then it will start to rotate from the lowest water level, and the angular velocity will always be low, making it difficult for the centrifugal block 238 to reach the trigger threshold. Therefore, when the buoyancy ball 22 pushes the detection rod 234 upward, the ball bearing 236 enters the spiral groove from the linear groove, forcing the detection rod 234 to rotate. Further, the centrifugal block 238 at the top of the detection rod 234 does not rigidly drive the drive seat 232. Only when the detection rod 234 rotates to a certain angular velocity can the centrifugal force overcome the tension of the return spring 2310, causing the pressure block 239 to be thrown out and engaged in the slot 233. Therefore, if the water level only fluctuates slightly, causing the detection rod 234 to rise and rotate slowly, the centrifugal block 238 will not move. Only when the blockage reaches a certain severity, and the buoyancy ball 22 moves upward rapidly corresponding to a large water level rise, will a subsequent alarm be triggered. Traditional float switches only detect whether the water level has reached a certain height threshold, while this solution, through the principle of centrifugal force, achieves the detection of both the water level rise rate and the rate of blockage worsening. By using a soft threshold judgment, it is possible to distinguish between normal water level changes caused by slow leakage and abnormal rises caused by rapid blockage, significantly reducing the false alarm rate.

[0024] In this embodiment, three centrifugal blocks 238 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the top of the detection rod 234. The inner end of each centrifugal block 238 is slidably connected to the detection rod 234 and is subjected to an inward pulling force by a return spring 2310. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the inner side of the drive seat 232 is provided with several annularly intermittently distributed slots 233. When the rotation speed of the detection rod 234 reaches the set threshold, the centrifugal block 238 overcomes the tension of the reset spring 2310 and is thrown outward, causing the pressure block 239 to engage in the corresponding slot 233 on the inner wall of the drive seat 232, thereby driving the drive seat 232 to rotate synchronously. Specifically, when the drive seat 232 rotates, it triggers the alarm structure 24 to issue an alarm on the one hand, and drives the infusion assembly 25 to pump the medicine into the separation chamber 141 on the other hand.

[0025] like Figure 6As shown, the detection component 23 also includes a locking element and a lifting indicator rod 2311. The locking element includes a positioning rod 2314, which slides through the support frame 212. Both the positioning rod 2314 and the lifting indicator rod 2311 are fitted with a return spring 2312, and the return spring 2312 is fixed to the outer surface of the positioning rod 2314 and the lifting indicator rod 2311. The outer wall of the drive seat 232 is provided with a positioning groove 2313 that matches the end of the positioning rod 2314. It should be noted that when the positioning rod 2314 is preset, it does not contact the positioning groove 2313, but abuts against the top side of the opposite side of the drive seat 232. At this time, the second return spring 2312 on the positioning rod 2314 is pulled open and deformed. In addition, the second return spring 2312 on the positioning rod 2314 can be used as a tension spring. Therefore, when the drive seat 232 rotates to the point where the positioning groove 2313 is aligned with the positioning rod 2314, the deformation of the second return spring 2312 causes the positioning rod 2314 to move down and insert into the positioning groove 2313, thereby locking the angle of the drive seat 232 and preventing the drive seat 232 from rotating due to liquid level fluctuations. At the same time, it can stop the water collection tank 13 from transferring liquid to the separation tank 14.

[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, the lower end of the lifting indicator rod 2311 is rotatably connected to the top of the detection rod 234, and the upper end of the lifting indicator rod 2311 passes through the drive seat 232 and extends above the support frame seat 211. Specifically, a red indicator cap is fixed to the top of the lifting indicator rod 2311. When the detection rod 234 rises and locks, the red indicator cap extends upward to provide a visual prompt. Therefore, through mechanical locking and visual indication, it is ensured that the operator can clearly determine that the separation plate 142 is blocked and complete the triggering action.

[0027] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the warning structure 24 includes a slide 241, a roller 242, a bracket 243, a knocking rod 244, an alarm block 245, and a guide seat 246. The guide seat 246 is an annular component, fixedly sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the drive seat 232. The outer wall of the guide seat 246 is machined with a continuous wavy curved surface. Specifically, the height difference between the crests and troughs of the waves is set according to requirements. The slide 241 is slidably installed in the horizontal guide hole of the support frame 211. One end of the slide 241 is connected to the support frame 211 through a return spring 28, and the other end is fixed with a roller 242. The roller 242 always abuts against the wavy surface of the guide seat 246. The middle part of the slide 241 is connected to the lower end of the knocking rod 244 through a hinge. The middle part of the knocking rod 244 is hinged to the bracket 243 fixed on the support frame 211. The upper end of the knocking rod 244 is a free end or has a fixed ball.

[0028] like Figure 6As shown, the alarm block 245 is fixedly installed on the support frame 213 and located on the swing path of the upper end of the knocking rod 244. The alarm block 245 is made of brass or cast iron, and the upper end of the knocking rod 244 is covered with a polyurethane cushioning layer. When the drive seat 232 rotates, the wave surface of the guide seat 246 pushes the roller 242 and the slide 241 to perform reciprocating linear motion. The slide 241 drives the knocking rod 244 to swing back and forth around the hinge point of the bracket 243. The upper end of the knocking rod 244 repeatedly strikes the alarm block 245, producing a periodic knocking sound. As a further improvement, a rubber pad can be added between the alarm block 245 and the support frame 213 to adjust the knocking tone.

[0029] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the infusion assembly 25 includes a cylinder 251, a piston 252, two valve tubes 253, and an infusion tube 255. The cylinder 251 is fixed to the support frame 211 or the outer wall of the separation box 14, and its interior is a cylindrical cavity. One end of the piston 252 is slidably sealed inside the cylinder 251, and the other end of the piston 252 extends out of the cylinder 251 and is fixed to the connecting plate 257 through a connector 254. The connecting plate 257 is then fixedly connected to the slide 241. Specifically, the piston 252 is threadedly connected to the connector 254, which can adjust the pumping distance of the piston 252, thereby adjusting the liquid input flow rate. It should be noted that each of the two valve tubes 253 is equipped with a one-way valve, which is installed at the inlet and outlet of the cylinder 251, respectively. One of the valve pipes 253 has its inlet end connected to an external medicine tank via a pipe, allowing only the medicine to flow from the medicine tank into the cylinder 251; the other valve pipe 253 has its outlet end connected to the infusion pipe 255, allowing only the medicine to flow from the cylinder 251 to the infusion pipe 255.

[0030] Specifically, the end of the infusion tube 255 is connected to the upper part of the separation chamber 141 or the upstream side of the separation plate 142. The end of the infusion tube 255 connected to the separation chamber 141 is provided with an expansion area 256. The inner diameter of the expansion area 256 is funnel-shaped from small to large, which is used to reduce the flow rate of the medicine and reduce the impact on the separation plate 142. When the slide 241 reciprocates, the piston 252 moves back and forth in the cylinder 251, alternately completing the suction and discharge of medicine, and pumping the medicine into the separation chamber 141 in a metered manner. It should be noted that the medicine tank can contain any one or more of the following mixtures: bactericide, scale inhibitor, pH neutralizer or cleaning agent. It is worth mentioning that the infusion assembly 25 automatically pumps bactericide into the separation chamber 141 upon triggering the alarm, and automatically closes the inlet and outlet solenoid valves after triggering, allowing the agent to remain immersed in the separation chamber 141 for a long time. Through high-concentration and long-contact treatment, the bacteria and spores attached to the separation plate 142 can be inactivated. When maintenance personnel subsequently open the inspection cover, the release of bacterial aerosols is significantly reduced, effectively protecting the health of operators. After the warning structure 24 issues a knocking alarm, it automatically inserts into the positioning slot 2313 with the positioning rod 2314 to lock, ensuring that even if the liquid level in the separation chamber 141 fluctuates briefly due to drug addition or drainage, the drive... The seat 232 will not reset accidentally. At the same time, the staff can use the alarm as a reference time to wait for the agent to soak in the separation chamber 141 for a certain period of time before opening the separation box 14. This ensures that the most stubborn microorganisms attached to the separation plate 142 are inactivated. If the door is opened immediately after hearing the alarm, the agent has not yet fully penetrated into the biofilm, the residual amount of live bacteria is still high, and the aerosol generated when the door is opened still poses an infection risk. In addition, the locking function of the positioning rod 2314 ensures that even if the liquid level drops slowly due to leakage during the soaking period, the drive seat 232 will not reset accidentally or reopen the valve. This avoids the dilution effect of changing water while soaking and ensures that the agent concentration is always maintained at a high efficiency level.

[0031] Combined with appendix Figures 1-9 The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows: When the radiant air conditioning system is running, the condensate or leaked water generated on the surface of the radiant component 11 falls into the water collection pan 12, flows into the main drain pipe 15 through the drain branch pipe 121, and is finally discharged into the external water collection tank 13. At the same time, after the water level in the water collection tank 13 reaches the required level, it enters the separation chamber 141 of the separation tank 14 through the liquid delivery pipe 16. After being filtered and separated by the separation plate 142, the clear liquid is discharged through the drain pipe 143. As usage time increases, the separation plate 142 gradually becomes clogged, causing the water level in the lower part of the separation chamber 141 to rise. The buoyancy ball 22 floats up with the water level and moves upward under the action of buoyancy, which drives the detection rod 234 connected to it to move upward synchronously. When the detection rod 234 moves upward, the guide groove 237 on its surface rolls with the fixed ball 236. Since the guide groove 237 contains a spiral section, this engagement forces the detection rod 234 to rotate while rising. When the drive seat 232 rotates, it drives the guide seat 246 to rotate. Its outer wave surface pushes the roller 242 and the slide 241 to move back and forth, thereby driving the knocking rod 244 to repeatedly knock the alarm block 245 to sound an alarm and shut off the infusion tube 16 and the drain tube 143. Meanwhile, the slide 241 drives the piston 252 to reciprocate within the cylinder 251 via the connecting plate 257, pumping the liquid medicine in the cylinder 251 into the separation chamber 141 through the valve pipe 253 and the infusion pipe 255, thus achieving automatic dosing and cleaning. In addition, a high concentration of bactericide is added in advance and soaked, which can reduce the number of live bacteria on the separation plate 142. After that, the risk is greatly reduced when the equipment is opened. Finally, the drain pipe 143 is opened to discharge the liquid, and the dirt is discharged together.

[0032] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
