Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steam pipeline traps, in particular to a steam pipeline trap. Background Art

[0002] Steam trap is one of the most important industrial pipeline equipment. It is mainly used to discharge wastewater and impurities in the pipeline to ensure the normal operation of the pipeline system. The main function of the steam trap is to automatically discharge the condensed water generated in the system to prevent the condensed water from causing pipeline blockage and corrosion. Its working principle is to use the buoyancy of the float or float to control the opening and closing of the drain. When the water level inside the pipeline rises to a certain height, the float or float will be affected by the buoyancy, so that the drain is opened to discharge the wastewater and impurities in the pipeline. When the water level drops to a certain height, the drain will automatically close. According to different working principles and structural forms, steam traps can be divided into float steam traps, float steam traps, mechanical steam traps and other types. In short, steam traps are very important equipment in the pipeline system. It can ensure the normal operation of the pipeline system and effectively avoid pipeline blockage and corrosion. However, the internal structure of some existing steam pipeline traps is relatively complex and not simple enough, and there are many internal connecting components, which not only reduces the sensitivity of the trap and fails to discharge the condensed water inside the pipeline in time, but also may cause water hammer phenomenon in the pipeline, thereby preventing the working equipment from always operating under the best working conditions. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a steam pipeline trap to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a steam pipeline trap to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] Preferably, a steam trap valve cover is provided on the upper side of the steam trap valve body, a second valve port is provided inside the middle right side of the upper surface of the steam trap valve cover, and a thermal sensitive element is provided on the lower side of the second valve port; a filter screen is provided on the middle upper side of the interior of the steam trap valve body, a ball cover fixing frame is provided on the lower side of the filter screen, and a ball cover is provided inside the middle of the ball cover fixing frame; a sewage outlet is provided at the middle lower end of the front side of the steam trap valve body.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0008] 1. First, connect the steam trap body to the pipeline through the left flange and the right flange. When the working equipment is just started, the internal temperature of the steam trap body is at a low state. The main material of the thermal element is fusible alloy or thermal insulating material, and these materials have the characteristic that the physical properties will change with the change of temperature, so that it can form a temperature-controlled self-operated switch. Therefore, the thermal element will shrink at this time, and the second valve port will open. Then the air inside the steam trap body will be discharged through the second valve port, so that the steam trap body can be quickly started. When condensed water enters the steam trap body through the steam trap body inlet, the air can be discharged through the steam trap body outlet according to the above principle, and then the condensed water will fall to the lower side of the steam trap body under the action of gravity, and then the hollow float will rise with the rise of the condensed water level on the lower side of the steam trap body until the hollow float is no longer in contact with the first valve port ... Water will be discharged through the first valve port. When hot condensed water or steam enters the interior of the steam trap body, the internal temperature of the steam trap body will increase, and then the thermistor will expand due to the heat, and then the second valve port will be closed. Then the hot condensed water will also fall to the lower side of the interior of the steam trap body under the action of gravity, and then the hollow float will float with the floating of the condensed water level, so that the opening of the first valve port can be adjusted, and then the condensed water will be discharged through the first valve port. When no condensed water enters the interior of the steam trap body, the hollow float will close the first valve port as the liquid level drops, and the first valve port is always below the condensed water level, so that a water seal can be formed, and steam will not leak. The device can quickly discharge the generated condensed water through the hollow float, so that the heating equipment will not have water accumulation, thereby obtaining higher thermal efficiency, having the characteristics of sensitive response and simple structure, and thus better avoiding the occurrence of water hammer, ensuring that the working equipment always operates under the best working conditions.

[0009] 2. The device will not be affected by changes in steam pressure, and the hollow float can float with the floating of the condensate level, so that the opening of the first valve port can be adjusted, thereby enabling the device to work continuously. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
