Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shipbuilding, in particular to an overflow pipe ventilating check device. Background Art
[0002] In the conventional design of the closed overflow venting system for fuel storage tanks, an inverted U-shaped venting overflow elbow is set on each fuel tank vent pipe and then connected to the common overflow main pipe. The overflow main pipe is used to discharge the fuel to the fuel overflow tank located at the double bottom of the engine room. Ventilation is achieved through the overflow main pipe or overflow tank. It is usually required that the highest point of the venting elbow is higher than the tank damage waterline provided by the overall professional.
[0003] However, due to the design characteristics of some ships, the damaged waterline of the fuel tank is very high, and the vent pipe elbow needs to be raised to a very high position, which not only brings great difficulties to the layout of the vent pipe, but also increases the pressure on the hull structure, thereby increasing the thickness and weight of the cabin structure. If a check valve is installed on the vent elbow, it can prevent the overflow of the main pipe from flowing back into the cabin, thereby reducing the height of the vent elbow below the damaged waterline, but the check valve also needs to have a venting function. For the venting of heavy oil tanks, it is also necessary to consider the impact of the accumulation of grease in the valve on the difficulty of opening the valve disc after a long time. Conventional check valves cannot meet the above functional requirements. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an overflow pipe breathable check device, which can be breathable under normal circumstances and can prevent the main pipe liquid from backflowing when overflowing or flooded. The device can also ensure smooth opening and closing when used on the heavy oil overflow pipe with high viscosity.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A breathable check device for an overflow pipe comprises a check body and a float, wherein an inlet connecting pipe and an outlet connecting pipe are respectively connected to two opposite side walls of the check body, and a breathable connecting pipe is connected to the top side wall of the check body, wherein the inlet connecting pipe and the outlet connecting pipe are respectively connected to the upstream port and the downstream port of the overflow main pipe through flanges, and the breathable connecting pipe is connected to an inverted U-shaped breathable pipe from the top of the cabin through flanges; a plurality of guide rods are vertically arranged on the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the check body, and the plurality of guide rods are evenly arranged with the center point of the bottom wall of the check body as the center, and the float is placed in a space surrounded by the plurality of guide rods, and the distance between two guide rods relatively arranged relative to the center point of the bottom wall of the check body is not less than the diameter of the float, and the distance between two adjacent guide rods is less than the diameter of the float.
[0007] Furthermore, the device also includes a bottom filter screen, which is arranged in the lower part of the inner cavity of the check body, and multiple guide rods are passed through the bottom filter screen, and the bottom filter screen is fixed by nuts that are sleeved on each guide rod and located on the upper and lower sides of the bottom filter screen; a distance is set between the bottom filter screen and the bottom wall of the check body, and the float is located above the bottom filter screen.
[0008] Furthermore, a vacuum breaking hole is opened on the top wall or the side wall of the check body, a vacuum breaking valve is arranged in the vacuum breaking hole, and the vacuum breaking valve and the check body are connected by threads.
[0009] Furthermore, the vacuum breaking valve is located on one side of the air-permeable connecting pipe on the top wall of the check body.
[0010] Furthermore, a discharge hole is provided on the side of the bottom wall of the check body close to the outlet connecting pipe, a discharge seat ring is fixed on the outer side of the discharge hole, and a discharge plug is provided in the discharge seat ring.
[0011] Furthermore, an ear plate is fixed on one side of the discharge seat ring, and hanging rings are fixed on the ear plate and on the outer end side wall of the discharge plug, and the two hanging rings are connected by a steel wire rope.
[0012] Furthermore, a discharge plug sealing gasket is provided between the discharge plug and the free end surface of the discharge seat ring.
[0013] Furthermore, rubber bushings are provided on the inner side wall and the outer end surface of the air-permeable connecting pipe.
[0014] Furthermore, an inspection hole is provided on one side wall of the check body, and an inspection cover plate connected with the check hole by a plurality of bolts and nuts is provided on the outside of the inspection hole.
[0015] Furthermore, a cover plate sealing ring is provided between the inspection cover plate and the outer side wall of the check body; and a gasket is provided between the nut and the inspection cover plate.
[0016] The utility model of the overflow pipe ventilation check device, when working, the floating ball in the cavity is located on the bottom filter screen, the cabin ventilation enters the check body cavity through the top ventilation pipe, and then enters the overflow main pipe through the outlet connecting pipe, so as to realize the free ventilation function of the cabin. When an overflow occurs during the filling process of a cabin, the excess liquid flows to the overflow main pipe through the ventilation elbow of the cabin, and then is discharged to the overflow cabin on the ship by the overflow main pipe. When the overflow volume increases or other cabins are damaged and soaked, the overflow main pipe will be filled with liquid. At this time, the device is filled with liquid, and the floating ball floats up under the action of buoyancy, contacts with the rubber bushing in the upper ventilation pipe, seals the ventilation interface, and prevents the liquid in the overflow main pipe from entering the corresponding cabin. After the liquid in the main pipe is discharged, the floating ball automatically returns to its position. The bottom filter screen of the floating ball is made of stainless steel, and keeps a certain distance from the bottom of the main body cavity, which is used to isolate the floating ball and the grease accumulated at the bottom, so as to avoid the floating ball being difficult to move after being stuck with grease and causing the upper ventilation port rubber bushing to be poorly sealed.
[0017] The vacuum breaking valve on the check body does not operate under normal circumstances. However, when a large amount of liquid flows out rapidly from the overflow main pipe, negative pressure appears in the check body cavity. At this time, the vacuum breaking valve automatically opens to connect to the external atmosphere to ensure that there is no negative pressure in the cabin connected to the device. As the air pressure in the check body cavity recovers, the valve disc automatically falls back.
[0018] In daily work, the device does not require manual intervention and works automatically. During maintenance, the operator can open the side inspection cover to check the condition of the internal float and drain the residual liquid in the cavity by unscrewing the drain cock at the bottom.
[0019] The overflow pipe vent check device of the utility model realizes that the height of the overflow main pipe in the closed overflow system of the ship is not limited by the damaged waterline, avoids the difficulties caused by the excessively high damaged waterline on the layout of the overflow main pipe and the cabin vent pipe, and automatically prevents the vacuum occurring during the overflow main pipe liquid backflow and the overflow process; provides connecting pipes and flanges for easy installation and construction on board, and the design of the inspection cover and the drain plug facilitates the replacement of internal components and cleaning.
