Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] The utility model aims to provide a weighing automatic air and pressure constant water replenishing device to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art. When the gas in the diaphragm air pressure tank is lost, the gas can be timely input into the diaphragm air pressure tank through the air supply device to maintain the normal use of the equipment.

[0024] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a weighing automatic air replenishment and constant pressure water replenishment device, including a water supply trunk 1, one end of which is connected to a water supply source, and the water supply source is used to provide water to the water supply trunk 1. The water supply trunk 1 is connected to a plurality of water supply branches 2, and the water supply branches 2 are provided with a water supply pump 201 and an electric control valve. The end of the water supply branch 2 away from the water supply trunk 1 is connected to a system water supply pipeline 3, and one end of the system water supply pipeline 3 is used to connect to the heating system. The water supply pump 201 provides water transportation power for the water supply branch 2, thereby transporting the water in the water supply trunk 1 to the heating system to provide circulating water for it. As for the heating system, it is an existing pipeline system, so the specific structure here will not be introduced in detail. The system water supply pipeline 3 is also connected to a tank body connecting pipeline 4, and one end of the tank body connecting pipeline 4 away from the system water supply pipeline 3 is connected to an existing diaphragm air pressure tank 5. The diaphragm air pressure tank 5 is a common iron tank structure, and a water bag is arranged inside it, and the water bag can be filled with water; there is an air chamber between the tank body and the water bag, and the air chamber can be filled with air. The tank body of the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 is provided with a water inlet 501 and a gas filling port 502, and the water bag in the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 is connected to the tank body connecting pipeline 4 through the water inlet 501, and a water inlet valve is arranged at the water inlet 501 for circulation at the water inlet 501, and the air chamber in the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 is connected to an air supply device through the gas filling port 502, and the air supply device is used to supply air to the air chamber in the diaphragm air pressure tank 5. A weighing device is installed below the diaphragm air pressure tank 5, and the water supply pump 201, the weighing device and the gas supply device are all electrically connected to the control device.

[0027] In actual use, the water supply source finally flows into the heating system along the water supply trunk 1, the water supply branch 2 and the system water supply pipeline 3. If the water pressure of the system water supply pipeline 3 and the heating system is high, the water in the heating system and the system water supply pipeline 3 can flow into the water bag; if the water pressure of the system water supply pipeline 3 and the heating system is low, the water in the water bag in the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 can flow into the system water supply pipeline 3, so as to replenish the water for the heating system at a constant pressure. Once the gas in the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 is lost, that is, the mass in the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 changes, the gas pressure is less than the water bag pressure at this time, and it cannot pressurize the water in the water bag into the system water supply pipeline 3. At this time, the gas supply device can be started, and the gas supply device inflates the air chamber in the diaphragm air pressure tank 5, so that the gas pressure in the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 is greater than the water pressure, thereby transporting the water in the water bag to the system water supply pipeline 3, so as to maintain the normal operation of the system.

[0028] In this embodiment, the air supply device is an air compressor 6, and the air outlet of the air compressor 6 is connected to the charging port 502 in the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 through a pipeline, so as to provide gas for the air chamber.

[0029] In this embodiment, the control device is a PLC controller, which can receive detection signals transmitted back from various devices and issue instructions to control the operation of related devices.

[0030] In this embodiment, two water supply branches 2 are provided, and the two water supply branches 2 are provided in parallel. Of course, those skilled in the art can also provide one, three or more water supply branches 2, not just two.

[0031] In this embodiment, the water supply source is a water tank, but those skilled in the art may also replace it with other containers capable of holding water.

[0032] In this embodiment, a pressure transmitter 301 and a water pressure gauge are provided on the system water supply pipeline 3. The pressure transmitter 301 and the water pressure gauge can be used to monitor the water pressure of the system water supply pipeline 3, and the pressure transmitter 301 can also be electrically connected to the control device to transmit the detected water pressure data to the control device, so as to facilitate remote monitoring by the staff.

[0033] In addition, a safety valve is also provided on the system water supply pipeline 3. Specifically, the safety valve is installed on the end of the system water supply pipeline 3 away from the heating system. The system water supply pipeline 3 is also connected to a pressure relief pipeline through the safety valve. The end of the pressure relief pipeline away from the system water supply pipeline 3 is connected to an expander or a softening water tank. When the water in the heating system is heated, the temperature of the water in the system water supply pipeline 3 and the water bag increases, the volume expands, the air chamber is squeezed, and the pressure of the air chamber increases. When the pressure of the air chamber reaches the upper limit, the water in the system water supply pipeline 3 finally enters the expander (or softening water tank) through the safety valve and the pressure relief pipeline, so that the gas pressure also drops to the set value and stops the pressure release.

[0034] In this embodiment, a gas pressure gauge 503 is provided on the diaphragm air pressure tank 5, and the gas pressure gauge 503 is electrically connected to the control device, so that the staff can remotely monitor the air pressure value of the air chamber in the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 through the control device.

[0035] In this embodiment, the upper end of the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 is also provided with an exhaust through hole, which is connected to the water bag in the diaphragm air pressure tank 5, and an exhaust valve is installed on the exhaust through hole. During the operation of the system water supply pipeline 3, it will also be connected to the water bag in the diaphragm air pressure tank 5, that is, the system water supply pipeline 3 will also transport a part of the water to the water bag in the diaphragm air pressure tank 5, and there will inevitably be some gas in the water, and a small amount of gas in the water bag will eventually slowly overflow from the exhaust valve. When a large amount of gas continues to overflow from the exhaust valve, it means that the water bag is damaged, and the water bag in the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 is connected to the air chamber. At this time, the water inlet valve at the water inlet 501 should be closed in time to cut off the connection between the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 and the system water supply pipeline 3 to avoid affecting the normal operation of the heating system.

[0036] In this embodiment, three supporting legs 504 are provided at the lower end of the diaphragm air pressure tank 5, and the weighing device includes three weighing sensors 505, which are respectively installed at the lower ends of the three supporting legs 504. The three weighing sensors 505 are used to measure the overall mass change of the diaphragm air pressure tank 5, and the relevant measurement signals are transmitted to the control device, so that the relative changes of the internal air pressure and water pressure can be known.

[0037] Embodiment 2

[0038] This embodiment provides a method for using a weighing automatic air and pressure constant water replenishment device, comprising the following steps:

[0039] 1. Initial Qi replenishment method

[0040] Before the equipment is powered on and water is supplied for debugging, the lower and upper pressure limits of the gas pressure gauge 503 are first set after confirmation by the user. Then, do not open the water inlet valve at the water inlet 501. Start the air compressor 6 to replenish air in the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 until it reaches the set lower limit. Stop replenishing air. At this time, the control device records and saves the weight detected by the weighing sensor 505.

[0041] 2. Operation principle

[0042] 2.1. Constant pressure water replenishment function: open the water inlet valve at the water inlet 501, and the system water supply pipeline 3 transports water to the water bag in the diaphragm air pressure tank 5, so that the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 starts to replenish water normally, and as the amount of water in the water bag continues to increase, the volume of the water bag continues to increase, thereby compressing the volume of the gas in the air chamber to decrease, so that the gas pressure continues to increase. When the gas pressure reaches the preset upper limit value of the gas pressure gauge 503, the water replenishment is stopped.

[0043] 2.2. Automatic air replenishment function: When the pressure transmitter 301 detects that the water pressure at the system water supply pipeline 3 drops to the preset lower limit value of the pressure transmitter 301. The control device first calculates. If the weight of the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 is greater than the initial weight, it is considered that the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 is relatively small at this time, and the water in the water bag is relatively large. The diaphragm air pressure tank 5 is in a state of lack of air at this time. At this time, the air compressor 6 is started to replenish air, and the air compressor 6 continuously delivers gas to the air chamber. As the gas in the air chamber gradually increases, the water in the air bag is squeezed out, and the discharged water will also enter the system water supply pipeline 3 to increase its water pressure. At the same time, the weight of the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 will decrease until it drops to the initial weight, and then the control device stops replenishing air, thereby realizing the function of automatic air replenishment.

[0044] 2.3. Alarm function after air bag damage: When the equipment enters the automatic air filling state, after a certain period of time exceeds the normal air filling time, the weight of the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 does not decrease, and the exhaust valve on the top of the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 continues to discharge gas. At this time, it is judged that the water bag is broken, and the controller can issue an alarm prompt, turn off the air compressor 6 and the water inlet valve, and the equipment exits the constant pressure water filling state. After manual inspection and confirmation, and the fault is reset, the equipment returns to normal.

[0045] In addition, in actual use, the weighing automatic air and pressure constant water supply device also includes pressure stabilization function and water supply function, which are as follows:

[0046] Pressure stabilization function: When the heating system pump is turned on, the circulating water in the heating system gradually heats up and its water volume expands accordingly. The system water supply pressure also increases with the increase of the heating system pressure, making the water pressure in the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 greater than the gas pressure. Water enters the water bag, so that the pressure fluctuation of the heating system is balanced within the set value range.

[0047] Water replenishment function: When the heating system stops pumping, the water temperature of the heating system drops, and its water volume decreases, causing the water pressure in the system water supply pipeline 3 to decrease accordingly. The gas pressure in the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 is greater than the water pressure, and the gas presses the water into the system water supply pipeline 3 and the heating system until the gas and water pressures in the diaphragm air pressure tank 5 are balanced. If the heating system pressure still does not meet the requirements, the water supply pump 201 is turned on to replenish water to the heating system, and the pressure in the system water supply pipeline 3 and the heating system increases accordingly. When the pressure increases to the set value, the water supply pump 201 stops working.

[0048] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principle and implementation of the present invention. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core idea of ​​the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of ​​the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
