[0024] At present, chemical companies install breathing valves on the top of atmospheric pressure storage tanks to balance the air pressure in the tanks, reduce medium volatilization, and meet safety and environmental protection requirements. In order to prevent the breathing valve from being blocked and causing the tank to be pressurized or absorb negative pressure and cause production safety accidents, the breathing valve usually needs to be manually removed and cleaned once a month, and once a week in winter.

[0025] However, this method of cleaning the breathing valve has the following problems: whether the breathing valve is blocked can only be discovered after it is removed, the cleaning efficiency of the breathing valve is low, the escape of toxic and harmful gases during the removal process can easily cause certain safety risks for the workers, and the personnel need to be equipped with corresponding labor protection equipment when removing the breathing valve, which wastes material resources, and the frequent pipeline opening operations increase the safety risks of special operations.

[0026] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present application proposes an automatic cleaning system for a breathing valve. The embodiments of the present application are further explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 The present application provides an automatic cleaning system for a breathing valve, comprising: a storage tank 110, a steam delivery pipeline 122, a nitrogen delivery pipeline 123, a three-way solenoid valve 124, a distributed control cabinet 120, a vent pipe 113, an air-open valve 114, an air-close valve 116, a breathing valve 117, a normally open root valve 112, a first connecting pipeline 111, a second connecting pipeline 125 and a pressure detector 121; a distributed control system is provided in the distributed control cabinet 120, the pressure detector 121 is provided at the top of the storage tank 110, the distributed control system is respectively connected to the pressure detector 121 and the three-way solenoid valve 124, and both ends of the first connecting pipeline 111 are respectively connected to the storage tank 110, The breathing valve 117 is connected, the air-off valve 116 is arranged on the first connecting pipe 111, and the air-off valve 116 is arranged close to the breathing valve 117, one end of the vent pipe 113 is connected to the first connecting pipe 111, the vent pipe 113 is arranged between the storage tank 110 and the air-off valve 116, and the air-on valve 114 is arranged on the vent pipe 113; the output end of the steam delivery pipe 122 and the output end of the nitrogen delivery pipe 123 are both connected to the input end of the second connecting pipe 125, the three-way solenoid valve 124 is arranged at the connection between the steam delivery pipe 122, the nitrogen delivery pipe 123 and the second connecting pipe 125, and the output end of the second connecting pipe 125 is connected to the breathing valve 117.

[0028] It should be noted that the air-open valve 114 refers to a control valve in which the opening of the regulating valve increases when the air pressure signal input to the valve increases, and the valve is closed when there is no input air pressure signal; the air-close valve 116 refers to a control valve in which the opening of the regulating valve decreases until it is closed when the air pressure signal input to the valve increases, and the valve is opened when there is no input air pressure signal; by setting the air-close valve 116, the nitrogen or steam introduced into the breathing valve 117 is prevented from entering the storage tank 110.

[0029] It should be noted that the vent pipe 113 is a device used to discharge the gas inside the storage tank 110 when cleaning the breathing valve 117 to avoid abnormal gas pressure in the storage tank 110.

[0030] In the present application, the pressure detector 121 is used to detect whether the pressure in the storage tank 110 reaches a preset pressure threshold, and generates a pressure detection signal after reaching the preset threshold and outputs the pressure detection signal to the distributed control system; the distributed control system is used to control the steam delivery pipeline 122 to be connected with the second connecting pipeline 125 through the three-way solenoid valve 124 according to the pressure detection signal, so that the steam can be sequentially delivered to the breathing valve 117 through the steam delivery pipeline 122 and the second connecting pipeline 125 and the breathing valve 117 is purged for a first preset time, at which time the air shut-off valve 116 is closed, and the storage tank 110 is in a state of being ... The gas in 10 drives the gas-opening valve 114 to open and can be discharged from the vent pipe 113 to avoid abnormal pressure release of the storage tank 110; after the breathing valve 117 is purged with steam to the first preset time, it is discharged from the common exhaust port 119 of the breathing valve 117, and the distributed control system controls the nitrogen delivery pipeline 123 to be connected with the second connecting pipeline 125 through the three-way solenoid valve 124. Nitrogen is successively delivered to the breathing valve 117 from the nitrogen delivery pipeline 123 and the second connecting pipeline 125, and the breathing valve 117 is purged for the second preset time and then discharged. At this time, the gas-closing valve 116 is also in a closed state. Through this setting, the present application can effectively improve the cleaning efficiency of the breathing valve 117, while reducing the cleaning cost of the breathing valve 117 and reducing the operating risks of the staff.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first preset time is 5 minutes, and the second preset time is 2 minutes. In other embodiments, the first preset time and the second preset time may also be set to other times, and are not limited to the embodiments of the present application.

[0033] It should be noted that the flame arrester 115 on the discharge pipe 113 is a fire protection device specifically used to prevent the flame from extending downward. Its principle is to convert the normally discharged gas into an upward airflow through the discharge pipe 113, thereby forming an area to block the rising flame and effectively prevent the spread of fire.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 It can be understood that the breathing valve automatic cleaning system also includes a normally open root valve 112, which is arranged on the first connecting pipe 111, the normally open root valve 112 is arranged close to the storage tank 110, and the vent pipe 113 is arranged between the normally open root valve 112 and the air shut-off valve 116.

[0035] Reference Figure 2It can be understood that the breathing valve automatic cleaning system also includes a purge gas input pipe 118, and the two ends of the purge gas input pipe 118 are respectively connected to the purge gas inlet opened on the breathing valve 117 and the output end of the second connecting pipe 125.

[0036] It should be noted that, by opening a purge gas inlet on the breathing valve 117 and providing a purge gas input pipe 118 , steam and nitrogen can be introduced into the breathing valve 117 .

[0037] It can be understood that the storage tank 110 is a normal pressure storage tank.

[0038] It should be noted that the atmospheric pressure storage tank refers to a steel welded storage tank 110 with a design pressure less than or equal to 1 / 3 atmospheric pressure (gauge), built on the ground, and storing non-artificially refrigerated, non-highly toxic liquid media such as petroleum and chemicals.
