Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of compressed air machine drainage, and particularly relates to a compressed air machine convenient for drainage. Background Art
[0002] During the process of compressing air, due to the sharp decrease in gas volume, the temperature rises, and then when the temperature drops, the water vapor in the air will condense into water droplets. If these condensed waters cannot be drained in time, they will have the following impacts on the compressed air machine: The condensed water will affect the dryness of the compressed air, and thus affect the performance of the equipment relying on compressed air for operation; The condensed water will occupy the space of the air storage tank, thereby reducing the actual available amount of compressed air and leading to increased energy consumption; The long-term existing condensed water will cause the corrosion of the metal components inside the equipment and shorten the equipment life; The condensed water may contain pollutants such as oil. If not properly treated, it will pollute the finally used compressed air.
[0003] Currently, the common drainage solutions for compressed air machines on the market mainly include two methods: manual drainage and automatic drainage. When manually draining, the user needs to regularly check and manually open the drain valve to empty the accumulated condensed water. This method is not only inefficient but also likely to cause equipment damage due to forgetting to drain water. Some more advanced compressed air machines are equipped with automatic drainage devices, such as timed drain valves or liquid level-based drainage systems. Although this method improves the convenience of drainage, there are still some problems in actual applications, such as the drain valve being prone to blockage, misoperation, or being unable to effectively meet the drainage requirements in extreme environments.
[0004] Therefore, we provide a compressed air machine convenient for drainage to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model
