When entering the steam trap, it will directly impact the internal components of the steam trap. However, the steam trap design lacks an effective shock-absorbing or buffering mechanism to absorb these impact forces, which makes the components easily damaged. This damage not only weakens the working efficiency of the steam trap, but also may shorten its service life, thereby affecting the stability and efficiency of the entire system.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by specific circumstances.

[0027] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an impact-proof free-floating ball steam trap comprises a valve body 1 and a valve cover 2, the valve cover 2 is located at the top of the valve body 1, a water inlet pipe 3 is installed on one side of the valve body 1, a drain pipe 4 is installed on the other side of the valve body 1, a buffer pipe 5 is installed on the end of the water inlet pipe 3 away from the valve body 1, and the shape of the buffer pipe 5 is L-shaped, a diverter cover 6 is installed inside the buffer pipe 5, a diverter plate 7 is installed on one end of the diverter cover 6, a plurality of first diverter holes 8 are opened on the surface of the diverter cover 6, a plurality of second diverter holes 9 are opened on the surface of the diverter plate 7, and a fillet 10 is provided at the connection between the diverter cover 6 and the diverter plate 7. By providing the L-shaped buffer pipe 5, when water flows in, the water is diverted by the bend The flow is buffered, thereby preliminarily reducing the impact force of the water flow, and then the water flow continues to flow to the water inlet pipe 3. Through the arrangement of the diverter cover 6 and the diverter plate 7, when the water flow contacts the diverter plate 7, part of the water flow is divided into multiple streams through the second diverter hole 9 and enters the interior of the valve body 1, which can reduce the impact force of the water flow.

[0030] Working process:

[0031] The user sets an L-shaped buffer tube 5. When water flows in, it buffers the water flow through the bend, thereby preliminarily reducing the impact force of the water flow. Then the water flow continues to flow to the water inlet pipe 3. Through the setting of the diverter cover 6 and the diverter plate 7, when the water flow contacts the diverter plate 7, part of the water flow is divided into multiple streams through the second diverter hole 9 and enters the interior of the valve body 1, which can reduce the impact force of the water flow. Another part of the water flow bounces in a circular shape, and then passes through the first diverter hole 8 on the surface of the diverter cover 6, and then enters the interior of the valve body 1. By setting a water pipe sheath 11, it plays a protective role when the water flow generates impact force at the bend. At the same time, stainless steel is not only corrosion-resistant but also has good impact resistance and wear resistance. It is often used to make pipe sheaths or outer protective tubes, especially in environments that require durability and safety.
