Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of water treatment equipment, in particular to a vacuum water intake system. Background Technique
[0002] The negative pressure required for the production of packaging equipment in the cigarette factory's cigarette making and packing workshop is supplied centrally. The stability of the negative pressure is related to the normal production of the entire workshop. Most of the tobacco industry uses water ring vacuum pumps to provide vacuum negative pressure. The water in the water ring vacuum pump not only forms a water ring as the working fluid to generate negative pressure, but also plays a role in cooling the pump body. Too high water temperature will cause water evaporation, and the negative pressure working condition will further exacerbate water evaporation and vaporization, resulting in too much water vapor in the pump body. When the water ring vacuum pump inhales too much water vapor, the pumping rate will decrease, and the ultimate vacuum degree will also decrease. The output capacity of the vacuum pump decreases with the increase of water temperature. When the water temperature exceeds 40°C, it will also exacerbate the fouling in the pump body. Therefore, when the water temperature in our factory's vacuum system reaches 40°C in summer, it is necessary to frequently supplement tap water to reduce the water temperature, which consumes a lot of water and the output vacuum degree of the vacuum pump decreases, seriously affecting the performance of the vacuum pump. At the same time, the vaporization bubbles formed by too high water temperature will cause impact on the impeller of the vacuum pump due to breaking, and at the same time cause cavitation on the pump shell of the vacuum pump. In severe cases, the pump shell will be corroded through and leakage will occur.
[0003] In order to ensure the stable operation of the vacuum pump, a set of vacuum cooling system is now configured. However, there are mainly the following two problems in the actual use process:
[0004] First, the failure rate of the water pump is relatively high. Especially when starting up again after shutdown, the seal between the pump shell and the pump core of the water pump is not tight, resulting in pressure relief of the vacuum system; the main reason for the water pump to run without water is that the water pump core is dry-ground. The water pump runs without water because there is too much silt or debris in the circulating water tank, resulting in the filter screen of the bottom valve connected to the circulating water tank being blocked or not closed tightly, and the water quality of the circulating water is poor with a high hydrochloride content, which is extremely easy to cause dynamic and static plane corrosion of the pump shell and the pump core, making the sealing effect worse, thus causing air leakage in the water pump; when starting up for the second time, air leakage in the water pump and the bottom valve not being closed tightly will cause the water pump to be unable to effectively absorb circulating water, and the high-speed operation of the water pump generates high temperature in a short time, resulting in rapid damage to the pump core seal of the water pump.
[0005] The technology adopted in the existing Chinese invention patent (CN201910656869.4) inclines a filter screen plate inside the vacuum water tank. The filter plate can block part of the silt and debris, but it cannot completely filter the hydrochloride in the circulating water. The water pump is still very easy to scale, resulting in a still high failure rate; and this scheme cannot automatically replenish water and exhaust steam, and manual water addition and steam exhaust are still required for the water intake and steam exhaust of the water pump, greatly reducing the reliability and safety of the vacuum drainage system.
[0006] Second, the water in the circulating water tank is hard water, containing a large amount of mineral salts such as calcium and magnesium. When heated, these salts precipitate and adhere to the metal surface to form scale. At the same time, after running for a period of time, algae and microorganisms will grow in the water, and these microorganisms will also corrode the impeller, the sealing end face of the pump body, and the sealing end face of the sea valve in the water tank. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of the present utility model is to design a vacuum water intake system to solve the above problems.
[0008] The present utility model realizes the above purpose through the following technical solutions:
[0009] The present utility model provides a vacuum water intake system, which includes a circulating water tank, a water pump, a vacuum water intake device, a cooling tower, and a water treatment device. Water enters the water treatment device from the cooling tower through a water pipe. After treatment, the water then enters the circulating water tank through the water pipe. The circulating water tank is connected to the water pump and the vacuum water intake device through water pipes. Among them, the water pipe connected to the vacuum water intake device is led out from the water pipes of the circulating water tank and the water pump. The water pump then pumps the water into the cooling tower through a water pipe for use.
[0010] As a preference of the present utility model, the water treatment device is a filtering type radio frequency water treatment device.
[0011] As a preference of the present utility model, the vacuum water intake device includes two mutually backup water intake vacuum pumps, water pipes, air pipes, a steam-water separator, a temperature transmitter, a solenoid valve, and supporting pipeline valves.
[0012] As a preference of the present utility model, a Y-type pipeline filter is also provided between the circulating water tank and the water pump to further filter impurities in the water body and prevent foreign objects from entering the water intake vacuum pump, causing damage to the water intake vacuum pump.
[0013] As a preference of the present utility model, a water intake round tank cylinder is also provided between the water pump and the Y-type pipeline filter. When the water pump is closed, the water intake round tank cylinder is always filled with water. When the vacuum gauge reaches the target vacuum degree, the water level in the water intake round tank cylinder is higher than the water level in the water pump, ensuring that the water pump is filled with water. At this time, when the water pump is started, the problem of pump seal damage caused by water shortage will not occur, greatly reducing the equipment failure rate.
[0014] As a preference of the present utility model, the steam-water separator adopts a horizontal steam-water separator and is equipped with a liquid level gauge. The liquid level gauge is equipped with high and low liquid level switches. When the low liquid level makes the make-up water solenoid valve open for water make-up, the high liquid level makes the make-up water solenoid valve close, always maintaining a stable liquid level in the separator to ensure a constant liquid level water supply for the water intake vacuum pump.
[0015] As an optimization of the present utility model, the steam-water separator is also equipped with water temperature control, the purpose of which is to ensure the stable operation of the priming vacuum pump. The water temperature is controlled by a temperature transmitter and adjusted by a makeup water solenoid valve on the steam-water separator. If the water temperature is too high, the makeup water valve is opened to supplement normal temperature tap water for cooling.
[0016] As an optimization of the present utility model, the steam-water separator is also provided with a bypass. The function of the bypass is for manual makeup water before startup and in case of problems with the solenoid valve, so as not to affect the normal use of the priming vacuum pump due to solenoid valve problems.
[0017] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0018] 1. The sea valve in the original cooling system's circulating water tank is cancelled, saving the spare part maintenance cost, and there is no need to regularly clean the filter screen and internal sealing end face of the sea valve, thus reducing the maintenance workload of maintenance personnel.
[0019] 2. After adopting the vacuum priming device, it can ensure that when the water pump starts, the inlet pipeline is filled with water and there is no air, completely solving the problem that the pump seal is damaged due to water shortage in the water pump, and greatly reducing the equipment failure rate.
[0020] 3. Adding water treatment facilities greatly improves the water quality of the working fluid of the water ring vacuum pump, reducing the formation of water scale in the vacuum pump and the corrosion of the internal structure of the pump body. Description of the Drawings

[0032] The following will specifically describe the embodiments of the present utility model in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] As shown in the attached Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a vacuum water intake system, which includes a circulating water tank 1, a water pump 3, a vacuum water intake device 4, a cooling tower 5, and a water treatment device 6. Water enters the water treatment device 6 from the cooling tower 5 through a water pipe 9. After treatment, the water enters the circulating water tank 1 through the water pipe 9 again. The circulating water tank 1 is connected to the water pump 3 and the vacuum water intake device 4 through the water pipe 9. Among them, the water pipe 9 connected to the vacuum water intake device 4 is led out from the water pipes 9 of the circulating water tank 1 and the water pump 3. The water pump 3 then pumps water into the cooling tower 5 through the water pipe 9 for use.
[0034] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the water treatment device 6 is a filtration type radio frequency water treatment device.
[0035] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the vacuum water intake device 4 includes two mutually backup water intake vacuum pumps 10, a water pipe 9, an air pipe 11, a steam-water separator, a temperature transmitter, a solenoid valve, and supporting pipeline valves.
[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, a Y-type pipeline filter 2 is further provided between the circulating water tank 1 and the water pump 3 to further filter impurities in the water body and prevent foreign objects from entering the water intake vacuum pump 10, causing damage to the water intake vacuum pump 10.
[0037] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, a water intake cylindrical tank 8 is further provided between the water pump 3 and the Y-type pipeline filter 2. When the water pump 3 is closed, the water intake cylindrical tank 8 keeps filling with water. When the vacuum gauge 7 reaches the target vacuum degree, the water level in the water intake cylindrical tank 8 is higher than the water level in the water pump 3, ensuring that the water pump 3 is full of water. At this time, when the water pump 3 is started, the problem of pump seal damage caused by water shortage will not occur, greatly reducing the equipment failure rate.
[0038] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the steam-water separator adopts a horizontal steam-water separator and is equipped with a liquid level gauge. The liquid level gauge is equipped with high and low liquid level switches. When the low liquid level makes the water replenishment solenoid valve open for water replenishment, the high liquid level makes the water replenishment solenoid valve close, always maintaining a stable liquid level in the separator to ensure the constant liquid level water supply for the water intake vacuum pump 10.
[0039] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, there is also water temperature control on the steam-water separator, the purpose of which is to ensure the stable operation of the water intake vacuum pump 10. The water temperature is controlled by the temperature transmitter to adjust the water replenishment solenoid valve on the steam-water separator. If the water temperature is too high, the water replenishment valve is opened to supplement normal temperature tap water to cool down.
[0040] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the steam-water separator is also provided with a bypass. The function of the bypass is for manual water replenishment before startup and manual water replenishment when there is a problem with the solenoid valve, so that the normal use of the water intake vacuum pump 10 will not be affected due to solenoid valve problems.
[0041] Working principle of the vacuum water priming device 4:
[0042] 1. Before starting the vacuum water priming device 4, close the electric valve at the outlet of the water pump, supply clear water to the steam-water separator, open the water supply valve to provide working water for the water priming vacuum pump 10, and automatically select and start the water priming vacuum pump 10.
[0043] 2. The gas in the starting pump and the suction pipeline is discharged to the atmosphere through the valve, the air pipe 11 and the water priming vacuum pump 10.
[0044] 3. When the system detects that a vacuum is formed in the water pump casing and it is filled with water, stop the water priming vacuum pump 10, give a signal to start the water pump 3, and at the same time open the electric valve at the outlet of the water pump 3.
[0045] Automatic operation mode of the vacuum water priming system:
[0046] 1. Judge the liquid level of the circulating water tank 1. If the liquid level is insufficient, the system opens the make-up water electric valve to make up water to the predetermined liquid level height.
[0047] 2. The system will first close the electric valve at the outlet of the corresponding water pump 3, and then start the vacuum water priming device 4. The vacuum water priming device 4 has two water priming vacuum pumps 10. When in use, the control system randomly selects, or selects one of the water priming vacuum pumps 10 to start according to the set rules, and the other is used as a standby. When one of them is damaged or cannot be started, the control system automatically selects the other water priming vacuum pump 10 to start.
[0048] 3. When the control system detects that a vacuum is formed and the pipe is filled with water at the inlet of the water pump 3 through the vacuum gauge 7, the water priming vacuum pump 10 stops working, the control system gives a signal to start the water pump 3, and at the same time opens the electric valve at the outlet of the water pump 3.
[0049] 4. The system starts the water pump 3 to send the water in the circulating water tank 1 to the cooling tower 5 for cooling. The system will determine whether to start the fan of the cooling tower 5 according to the water temperature. We generally set it to 26 degrees. When the temperature is higher than the set temperature, the fan of the cooling tower 5 will be automatically started, and when the temperature is lower than the set temperature, the fan will not be started.
[0050] 5. The system starts the water treatment device 6 to perform on-line water quality treatment on the water cooled by the cooling tower 5. The impurities are discharged through the sewage outlet, and the filtered water flows into the inlet of the circulating water tank 1.
[0051] Although the present invention has been described here with reference to the explanatory embodiments of the present invention, the above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited by the above embodiments. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can design many other modifications and embodiments, and these modifications and embodiments will fall within the scope of the principles and spirit disclosed in this application.
