[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model proposes an energy-saving air compressor gas storage container automatic timed drain valve, comprising a lower shell 1, an upper shell 2 and a valve body 3, the upper shell 2 is plugged and connected to the lower shell 1, the valve body 3 is clamped between the lower shell 1 and the upper shell 2 and penetrates the lower shell 1 and the upper shell 2, the lower end of the valve body 3 is connected to the ball valve 4, the side wall of the lower shell 1 is provided with a water detection sensor 5, the lower shell 1 is provided with an electric actuator 6, and the electric actuator 6 is connected to the ball valve 4, and the upper shell 2 is provided with an electric control board 7.

[0020] In order to realize the control operation of the drain valve, an operation panel 8 is provided on the upper end surface of the upper shell 2, a display screen 9 is provided on the electric control board 7, and the upper end of the display screen 9 passes through the upper shell 2 and is arranged in the same plane as the operation panel 8. A button 10 is plugged and connected to the operation panel 8, and the bottom of the button 10 is tightly arranged against the contact on the electric control board 7.

[0021] The electric control board 7 is arranged between the valve body 3 and the operation panel 8, the ball valve 4 is arranged between the valve body 3 and the electric actuator 6, and the water detection sensor 5 is arranged parallel to the valve body 3; the water detection sensor 5 and the electric actuator 6 are both electrically connected to the electric control board 7, and the water detection sensor 5 is arranged below the valve body 3.

[0022] When using it, please refer to the instructions attached. Figure 4 and Figure 5 By contrast, the time for opening the valve in a timed cycle is set by pressing button 10. When the set opening time is reached, the electric control board 7 controls the electric actuator 6 to work, and the electric actuator 6 drives the ball valve 4 to open and start draining. At this time, the water detection sensor 5 works to detect the water in the valve body 3. When water is detected, the valve continues to open. When no water is detected, a water-free signal is sent to the electric control board 7. The electric control board 7 drives the ball valve 4 to close the valve through the electric actuator 6 to stop draining and complete the work. When the time comes to the set cycle opening time again, the valve is opened again to perform the drainage procedure. This cycle continues, thereby automatically completing the problem of automatic drainage of the air compressor gas storage container, eliminating the trouble of manual drainage, and also ensuring the requirements of high-end gas-using equipment for the water content of compressed air.

[0023] The above description of the utility model and its implementation methods is not restrictive.
