Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electric heating equipment, in particular to a device for preventing an electric heater from dry burning in water treatment. Background Art

[0002] At present, most of the methods used in China to prevent electric heaters from burning dry are temperature control methods, that is, when the temperature exceeds the set critical temperature, control is performed and the electric heater is powered off for protection. For example, patent number CN208687975U, patent name A heating component with temperature measurement, and patent number CN204862692U, patent name A constant temperature heating yogurt machine, both use embedded instant temperature measurement to prevent heating components from burning dry. However, when the electric heater burns dry due to lack of liquid during the water treatment process, the increase in temperature is the increase in gas in the cavity, and it is not accurate to use this as a judgment standard. Moreover, the electric heater uses temperature to control its opening and closing states during the water treatment process, and does not judge the state when there is a lack of water. If there are no preventive measures to prevent dry burning, the electric heater will be damaged during dry burning, reducing the life of the electric heater and increasing safety hazards; when the electric heater burns dry, the current treatment method is to shut down for maintenance and manually open the spare pipeline, which will affect the overall efficiency.

The second heating pipeline 4 is provided with a second water inlet control valve 41, a second pressure sensor 42, a second flow sensor 43, a second electric heater 44 and a second temperature detector 45. By opening and closing the first water inlet control valve 31 and the second water inlet control valve 41 to switch the liquid through the first heating pipeline 3 or the second heating pipeline 4, when one of the electric heaters is damaged, it can be switched to the other one for heating treatment, thereby minimizing the impact caused by the damage of the electric heater.

[0020] The first water inlet control valve 31 , the second water inlet control valve 41 , the first pressure sensor 32 , the second pressure sensor 42 , the first flow sensor 33 , the second flow sensor 43 , the first temperature detector 35 , the second temperature detector 45 , the first electric heater 34 , and the second electric heater 44 are all electrically connected to the terminal processor 5 .

[0021] The first pressure sensor 32, the first flow sensor 33, the first temperature detector 35, the second pressure sensor 42, the second flow sensor 43, and the second temperature detector 45 of the utility model are all common existing structures in the field, which are used to measure the pressure, flow and temperature data of the first heating pipeline 3 and the second heating pipeline 4 and send them to the terminal processor 5. The terminal processor 5 can open and close the first water inlet control valve 31 and the second water inlet control valve 41 as needed, and can also adjust the power of the first electric heater 34 and the second electric heater 44 to meet the required temperature of the liquid.

[0022] The first electric heater 34 and the second electric heater 44 are both provided with a water inlet end 6 and a water outlet end 7, the first water inlet control valve 31 is provided at the water inlet end 6 of the first electric heater 34, the first pressure sensor 32 and the first flow sensor 33 are provided between the first water inlet control valve 31 and the first electric heater 34, and the first temperature detector 35 is provided at the water outlet end 7 of the first electric heater 34. The second water inlet control valve 41 is provided at the water inlet end 6 of the second electric heater 44, the second pressure sensor 42 and the second flow sensor 43 are provided between the second water inlet control valve 41 and the second electric heater 44, and the second temperature detector 45 is provided at the water outlet end 7 of the second electric heater 44.

[0023] Further, the first heating pipeline 3 is provided with a first inspection valve 36 and a first check valve 37, the first inspection valve 36 is provided between the water outlet end 7 of the first electric heater 34 and the first temperature detector 35, and the first check valve 37 is provided between the first temperature detector 35 and the main water outlet pipeline 2. The second heating pipeline 4 is provided with a second inspection valve 46 and a second check valve 47, the second inspection valve 46 is provided between the water outlet end 7 of the second electric heater 44 and the second temperature detector 45, and the second check valve 47 is provided between the second temperature detector 45 and the main water outlet pipeline 2.

[0024] Furthermore, the main water inlet pipeline 1 is provided with a main water inlet valve 11, and the main water outlet pipeline 2 is provided with a main water outlet valve 21. A third water inlet pipeline 8 is also connected between the main water inlet pipeline 1 and the main water outlet pipeline 2, and the third water inlet pipeline 8 is respectively connected in parallel with the first water inlet pipeline 3 and the second water inlet pipeline 4. The third water inlet pipeline 8 is provided with a third water inlet control valve 81 and a third check valve 82, and the third water inlet control valve 81 is electrically connected to the terminal processor 5.

[0025] The purpose of the first check valve 37, the second check valve 47 and the third check valve 82 is to prevent the backflow of liquid from affecting the efficiency of the entire process. The first inspection valve 36 and the second inspection valve 46 can be manual ball valves, which are mainly used to facilitate the inspection of various parts of the system and the replacement of damaged equipment. When a certain equipment needs to be replaced, it can be quickly disassembled and replaced by simply closing the nearest inspection valve and control valve connected to it.

[0026] The specific real-time process of the utility model:

[0027] When the entire process is in the initial state, the main water inlet valve 11, the first water inlet valve 31, the second water inlet valve 41, the third water inlet valve 81, the first inspection valve 36, the second inspection valve 46, the first electric heater 34, and the second electric heater 44 are all in the closed state.

[0028] In the initial state, when the first heating pipeline 3 is to be operated, the main water inlet valve 11 and all the inspection valves are first manually opened, the first water inlet control valve 31 is opened, and the liquid to be heated is introduced. At this time, the first electric heater 34 is turned on, and the first heating pipeline 3 is turned on. According to the data sent to the terminal processor 5 by the first temperature detector 35, the terminal processor 5 automatically adjusts the power of the first electric heater 34 to meet the required temperature of the liquid, increases the power when the temperature is low, and reduces the power when the temperature is high. The first pressure sensor 32 and the first flow sensor 33 can not only judge whether the first heating pipeline 3 is blocked or not through the obtained data, but also be used as the data source for the terminal processor 5 to control the first electric heater 34. When the flow of the first heating pipeline 3 increases, the terminal processor will automatically increase the power of the first electric heater 34 to meet the demand; when the pressure is too high, or the flow value is too small, or both occur, it can be judged that the first heating pipeline 3 is blocked. At this time, the terminal processor 5 will reduce the power of the first electric heater 34 or close the first water inlet control valve 31 and the first electric heater 34, open the second water inlet control valve 41 and the second electric heater 44, and use the second heating pipeline 4 to work. When the pressure or flow rate of the first heating pipeline 3 is 0, it can be determined that no liquid flows through the first electric heater 34, and the first electric heater 34 is always kept closed to avoid dry burning. At this time, the first heating pipeline 3 can be partially repaired, and the second electric heater 44 partially undertakes the heating work, which will not affect the overall heating progress.

[0029] In the initial state, when the second heating pipeline 4 is to be operated, the steps are similar to the previous ones. First, manually open the main water inlet valve 11 and all the inspection valves, open the second water inlet control valve 41, and pass the liquid to be heated. At this time, the second electric heater 44 is turned on, and the second heating pipeline 4 is turned on. The terminal processor 5 automatically adjusts the power of the second electric heater 44 to meet the required temperature of the liquid according to the data sent to the terminal processor 5 by the second 45 temperature detector, and increases the power when the temperature is low, and reduces the power when it is high. The second pressure sensor 42 and the second flow sensor 43 can not only judge whether the second heating pipeline 4 is partially blocked by the obtained data, but also be used as the data source for the terminal processor 5 to control the second electric heater 44. When the flow of the second heating pipeline 4 increases, the terminal processor 5 will automatically increase the power of the second electric heater 44 to meet the demand; when the pressure of the second heating pipeline 4 is too high, or the flow value is too small, or both occur, it can be judged that the second heating pipeline 4 is partially blocked. At this time, the terminal processor 5 will reduce the power of the second electric heater 44 to continue working, or close the second water inlet control valve 41 and the second electric heater 44, open the first water inlet valve control 31 and the first electric heater 34, and use the first heating pipeline 3 to work. When the pressure of the second heating pipeline 4 is 0 or the flow rate is 0, it can be judged that no liquid flows through the second electric heater 44. At this time, the second electric heater 44 always remains in a closed state to avoid dry burning. At this time, some problems in the second heating pipeline 4 can be repaired, and the first electric heater 34 partially undertakes the heating work, which will not affect the overall heating progress.

[0030] When both the first electric heater 34 and the second electric heater 44 have problems and cannot be turned on, in order not to affect the water treatment process, the first water inlet control valve 31 and the second water inlet control valve 41, as well as the first electric heater 34 and the second electric heater 44, can be closed, and the third water inlet valve 81 can be opened to allow the liquid to directly enter the next process through the third water inlet pipeline 8; this operation is only applicable to systems where the set heating temperature does not increase much or the temperature has only a small impact on the efficiency of subsequent processes, or in high temperatures in summer, the water inlet temperature is close to the required temperature and does not need to be heated, and power saving and energy saving can be achieved (considered as special case 1), and the liquid no longer enters the first heating pipeline 3 and the second heating pipeline 4 to reduce corrosion. If the impact is large, the system will quickly return to the initial state, and the two sides will be manually repaired and resumed. If there is a liquid flow overload, the terminal controller will close the third water inlet control valve 8, and open the first electric heating pipeline 3 and the second electric heating pipeline 4 for processing at the same time. The terminal controller will automatically adjust the corresponding power of the electric heater to meet the demand (considered as special case 2).
