Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thermal steam traps, in particular to a composite thermal steam trap. Background Art

[0002] A thermal steam trap is a device that automatically removes condensate from steam systems such as steam pipes and heating equipment. It operates primarily by relying on the temperature difference between steam and condensate. When condensate enters the trap, its lower temperature causes the temperature-sensing element inside the valve to contract or deform, thereby opening the valve and allowing the condensate to drain. When steam enters, its higher temperature causes the temperature-sensing element to expand or return to its original shape, closing the valve and preventing steam leakage.

[0003] After searching, the applicant discovered a Chinese patent application titled "CN2073527U," with the publication (announcement) number "Thermal Steam Trap." This patent primarily describes a thermal steam trap comprising a valve body, valve core, bonnet, and plug. The improved design features a disc-shaped valve core, a valve core rod, and a valve core tail with guide wings. The upper end of the valve core rod is riveted to the center hole of the valve core disc, while the lower end is statically fitted with the valve core tail, giving the entire valve core a standing mushroom shape. This utility model overcomes the shortcomings of conventional steam traps, such as high leakage rates and short lifespans, making it suitable for steam-blocking and draining water from various steam heating equipment. However, this patent does not filter the incoming fluid. Therefore, we propose a composite thermal steam trap. Utility Model Content

[0022] The inner and outer walls of the filter tube 57 and the water inlet pipe 11 have the same diameter.

[0023] Specifically, the filter disc 51 is placed in the filter tube 57 through the filter screen placement strip 56 provided on the circumferential surface of the filter tube 57. The filter screen 58 cooperates with the filter tube 57 to intercept debris in the fluid to be transported. After the debris is uniformly piled into the debris placement opening 52, the debris stacking situation is observed through the debris peephole 55 on the filter tube 57, and the debris placement cover 53 is pulled out from the debris placement opening 52 through the slide groove 54 provided at the bottom of the debris placement opening 52 to remove the debris. Example 2

[0024] Please see the attached Figure 1 - Attachment Figure 5 , and on the basis of Example 1, it is further obtained that a water stop mechanism 6 is fixedly connected to the right side of the valve pipe 2, the water stop mechanism 6 includes a water stop pipe 63, a water stop valve 62 is provided in the middle position of the water stop pipe 63, a water stop switch 61 is provided on the top of the water stop valve 62, a rotating rod 65 is fixedly connected below the water stop switch 61, and a water stop block 64 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the rotating rod 65.

[0025] The circumferential surface of the rotating rod 65 is provided with a thread.

When the steam enters the valve pipe 2, the volume and flow rate increase, and the movable valve plate 10 falls. As the steam condenses in the condensate storage pipe 3, the movable valve plate 10 is pushed open and the condensate continues to be discharged. After the fluid is discharged, the water stop switch 61 is turned, and the water stop block 64 moves downward to the preset position to block the pipeline to prevent fluid backflow.
