Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of compressed air, in particular to a compressed air condensate discharge device. Background Art

[0002] The hazards of compressed air condensate include: 1. Corrosion of equipment and piping; 2. Damage to components of compressed air handling equipment; 3. Damage to products; 4. Damage to production equipment; 5. Risk of sudden production stoppages. Precisely because of these numerous hazards, timely and reliable drainage of compressed air piping is crucial. Many factories using air compressors face the common problem of frequent blockage of compressed air condensate drains. Poor drainage of large amounts of condensate in compressed air systems, or prolonged non-discharge, can cause liquid water to escape into downstream processes, turning the compressed air system's air storage tank into a water tank, leading to pipeline slugging and high water content at the end of the process. For air compressors, this can accelerate corrosion or rupture of the aftercooler, and liquid slugging can cause irreversible premature wear of the compressor unit. Furthermore, improperly closed valves in manual drain pipes can lead to significant energy waste. These issues can be caused by rust impurities in the compressed air condensate, as well as air blockage caused by condensate containing compressed air entering the drain, which can hinder condensate discharge.

[0003] For this purpose, we need to provide a new compressed air condensate discharge device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a compressed air condensate discharge device to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a compressed air condensate discharge device, including a condensate treatment mechanism and a zero-gas-consumption condensate discharge valve, a ball valve is provided on one side of the condensate treatment mechanism, and a flexible joint is provided through the ball valve, and is connected to the zero-gas-consumption condensate discharge valve through the flexible joint.

[0006] Preferably, the condensate processing mechanism includes a liquid storage tank connected to the ball valve, and a compressed air condensate inlet is provided on the top of the liquid storage tank.

[0007] Preferably, an automatic drain port is provided on one side of the liquid storage tank, and the automatic drain port is connected to a ball valve through a pipeline.

[0008] Preferably, a filter screen is provided inside the liquid storage tank.

[0009] Preferably, the liquid storage tank is also connected to a manual drain valve and a manual exhaust valve.

[0010] Preferably, the port of the compressed air condensate inlet is connected to a compressed air condensate discharge pipe, and the other end of the compressed air condensate discharge pipe is connected to a compressed air storage tank.

[0011] The utility model provides a compressed air condensate discharge device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] (1) The utility model sets a liquid storage tank and a zero-gas-consumption condensate discharge valve, and the flow channel leading to the zero-gas-consumption condensate discharge valve is much higher than the bottom of the liquid storage tank. In this way, the volume of the fluid from the original thin pipe to the tank body is enlarged, so that the flow rate of the condensate is reduced, and the rust impurities are settled to the bottom of the liquid storage tank and separated from the flow channel drainer port leading to the zero-gas-consumption condensate discharge valve, so as to solve the problem of rust impurities not being blocked.

[0013] (2) The present invention provides a manual drain valve on the liquid storage tank, which can regularly discharge the settled and filtered rust impurities through the manual drain valve, thereby achieving a clean environment inside the liquid storage tank. This will effectively solve the problem of frequent disassembly of the drainer for cleaning, which takes a long time and is troublesome to disassemble.

[0014] (3) The utility model provides a manual exhaust valve connected to the liquid storage tank, which can be used as a pre-check method to check whether there is air in the compressed air condensate at any time, thereby achieving effective protection. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Example 1

[0021] The preferred embodiment of the compressed air condensate discharge device provided by the utility model is as follows Figure 1-3 As shown: A compressed air condensate discharge device includes a condensate processing mechanism 1 and a zero-gas-consumption condensate discharge valve 2. A ball valve 3 is provided on one side of the condensate processing mechanism 1, and a flexible joint 4 is provided through the ball valve 3, and is connected to the zero-gas-consumption condensate discharge valve 2 through the flexible joint 4.

[0022] In this embodiment, effective drainage is ensured by providing a ball valve 3 and a flexible joint 4 connected to an automatic drainer. The condensate processing mechanism 1 is designed to ensure reliable drainage of the zero-gas-consumption condensate discharge valve 2.

[0023] In this embodiment, the compressed air produced by the air compressor enters the compressed air storage tank 13. As the temperature of the compressed air storage tank 13 drops, new compressed air condensate is generated, which enters the liquid storage tank 8 through the compressed air condensate discharge pipe 11, and then enters the zero-gas-consumption condensate discharge valve 2 along the automatic drain port under the action of the ball valve 3. The flow channel leading to the zero-gas-consumption condensate discharge valve 2 is much higher than the bottom of the liquid storage tank 8. In this way, the volume of the fluid from the original thin pipe to the tank body is enlarged, which reduces the flow rate of the condensate, so that the rust impurities are settled to the bottom of the liquid storage tank 8 and separated from the flow channel drain port leading to the zero-gas-consumption condensate discharge valve 2, so that the rust impurities will not be blocked. Example 2

[0024] See also Figure 1-Figure 3, and on the basis of Example 1, it is further obtained that: the condensate processing mechanism 1 includes a liquid storage tank 8 connected to the ball valve 3, a compressed air condensate inlet 5 is provided on the top of the liquid storage tank 8, an automatic drain port is provided on one side of the liquid storage tank 8, and the automatic drain port is connected to the ball valve 3 through a pipeline, a filter screen 7 is provided inside the liquid storage tank 8, and a manual drain valve 9 and a manual exhaust valve 10 are also connected to the liquid storage tank 8, the port of the compressed air condensate inlet 5 is connected to the compressed air condensate discharge pipe 11, and the other end of the compressed air condensate discharge pipe 11 is connected to the compressed air storage tank 13.

[0025] In this embodiment, by providing a manual drain valve 9 on the liquid storage tank 8, the settled and filtered rust impurities can be forcibly discharged regularly through the manual drain valve 9, thereby achieving a clean environment inside the liquid storage tank 8. This will effectively solve the problem of frequent disassembly of the drainer for cleaning, which takes a long time and is troublesome to disassemble.

[0026] In this embodiment, by providing a manual exhaust valve 10 in communication with the liquid storage tank 8, a pre-check method for checking whether the compressed air condensate contains gas can be used at any time, thereby achieving effective protection.

[0027] During use, the rust and impurities formed by oxidation of the compressed air condensate in the liquid storage tank 8 and the compressed air condensate discharge pipe 11 are blown away by the compressed gas to clear the rust and impurities blocking the automatic drain port. The condensate passes through the condensate processing mechanism 1, and the volume of the original thin pipe to the tank body is enlarged to reduce the flow rate of the condensate, so that the rust and impurities are precipitated and filtered and separated through the filter screen 7, thereby effectively preventing the automatic drain port from being blocked.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
