[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] Depend on Figure 1-Figure 3 The utility model provides a fully automatic intelligent anti-leakage drainer, comprising a body 1. The inner cavity of the body 1 is divided into a water inlet chamber 11 and a drainage chamber 12 by a partition. A control box 2 is provided on one side of the body 1, and a power indicator light 20 is provided on the upper end of the control surface of the control box 2. Indicators for inlet valve opening 21, drainage valve opening 22, exhaust valve opening 23 and fault alarm 24 are arranged horizontally below the power indicator 20. The control surface of the control box 2 is further downwardly provided with arranged upper limit 25 and lower limit 26 liquid level indicators, as well as a mode knob 27 and a switch knob 28. The control box 2 is provided with a power switch 210 and an electric heating switch 29 below the switch knob 28. The mode knob 27 is divided into two adjustment modes, manual and automatic, and the switch knob 28 is divided into two adjustment modes, action and stop. When the mode knob 27 is adjusted to manual mode, the switch knob 28 can be operated.
[0021] As mentioned above, the intelligent electric drainer control system mainly includes PLC and intermediate relay. The user can clearly understand the operating status of the equipment at this time through multiple indicator lights on the panel of the control box 2. During operation, when the power switch 210 is turned on, the power indicator light 20 is always on. When the equipment is put into normal use, the operating status can be observed through the six indicator lights of inlet valve open 21, drain valve open 22, exhaust valve open 23, fault alarm 24, liquid level upper limit 25 and liquid level lower limit 26. The indicator light is on to indicate connection or operation, and the indicator light is off to indicate disconnection or stop operation. The user can select manual or automatic mode operation through the mode knob 27 on the panel. In automatic mode, the user does not need to do any operation. The control system will automatically identify the current status of the equipment and issue corresponding operating instructions to the equipment. When in manual mode, the user can operate the equipment through the switch knob 28 according to the current status through the indicator lights on the panel.
[0022] In addition, the power supply of the control system and the electric heating power supply are designed to be independent of each other on the control box 2, and do not affect each other's use. At the same time, it has the advantages of saving electricity and easy maintenance. That is, the electric heating switch 29 has a separate indicator light, which is not operated under normal circumstances and is only used for emergency operation.
[0023] A condensate inlet pipe 13 is provided at the top of the body 1, which penetrates into the water inlet chamber 11. A sealing water pipe 14 connected to the water inlet chamber 11 is installed on the partition of the drainage chamber 12 of the body 1. A vent pipe 15 and an intelligent liquid level sensor 16 are provided at the top of the body 1, which penetrate into the drainage chamber 12. A drain port 17 is installed on the side wall of the body 1, and a valve is provided on the drain port 17. The condensate inlet pipe 13 is located outside the body 1 and is provided with a quick shut-off valve 18.
[0024] As mentioned above, in the detailed operation design, when operating, close the power switch 210, the power indicator light 20 lights up, and turn the switch of the mode knob 27 to automatic. At this time, the drainer is in automatic standby state. When the pipeline leaks, the condensate is introduced into the water inlet chamber 11 through the condensate inlet pipe 13, and then enters the drainage chamber 12 through the sealing pipe 14. When the intelligent liquid level sensor 16 detects that the liquid level reaches the upper limit, the controller will delay 35S at the factory setting of 35S, which can be changed by the user according to actual conditions. For the existing design, at this time, the water level just covers the quick shut-off valve 18, and the quick shut-off valve 18 is closed. After the quick shut-off valve 18 is fully closed, the drain valve of the drain outlet 17 is opened to drain. After the drain valve is fully opened, the delay of 5S is factory set to 5S, which can be changed by the user according to actual conditions. For the existing design, the exhaust valve of the vent pipe 15 is opened to discharge the gas medium accumulated in the container or pipeline;
[0025] When the water level drops to the low level, close the drain valve and the exhaust valve. After the drain valve is fully closed, open the quick shut-off valve 18 and wait for the next high liquid level. In addition, the mode knob 27 is rotated to the manual state, and the switch knob 28 is turned to the action state. The user can manually close the quick shut-off valve 18, wait for the quick shut-off valve 18 to be fully closed, open the drain valve, wait for the drain valve to be fully opened, and open the exhaust valve after a delay of 5 seconds to drain all the water. At this time, turn the knob back to the stop state, the controller will close the drain valve and the exhaust valve, wait for the drain valve to be fully closed, and open the inlet valve.
[0026] Furthermore, in the automatic control mode, if the valve is not switched in place after 10 seconds of valve operation, it is possible that the valve is blocked or damaged. At this time, the system will generate a fault prompt, that is, the fault alarm 24 flashes, and the user is required to check the equipment.
[0027] Furthermore, in manual control mode, such as forced drainage, for safety reasons, it is necessary to ensure that the liquid level does not exceed the quick shut-off valve 18.
[0028] The lower ends of both sides of the body 1 are provided with sewage pipes 19 passing through the water inlet chamber 11 and the drainage chamber 12, and both pipes are equipped with manual valves.
[0029] The provision of the drain pipe 19 allows for efficient drainage of waste from the water inlet chamber 11 and the drain chamber 12. The presence of the manual valve provides precise control over the drainage process, ensuring that the user can easily clean and maintain the device when necessary, thereby improving the practicality and reliability of the device.
[0030] The side wall of the body 1 is connected to the drain outlet 17 through the overpressure protection device 110. An overpressure indicator ball 111 is provided on the top of the overpressure protection device 110. A guide pipe 112 is installed on the side wall of the body 1 on the pipe connected to the overpressure protection device 110. The top opening of the guide pipe 112 is funnel-shaped and is located directly below the outlet of the drain outlet 17.
[0031] The overpressure protection device 110 is a key safety feature that prevents damage to the equipment due to excessive pressure during drainage. If system pressure exceeds the safe range, the overpressure protection device activates and releases excess pressure through the drain port 17. Furthermore, the overpressure indicator ball 111 visually displays the system pressure status, helping users to promptly identify and address overpressure issues. The funnel-shaped design of the flow guide 112, located directly below the outlet of the drain port 17, ensures that the discharged water is effectively collected and directed to the desired location. This design reduces water splashing and waste, improves drainage efficiency, and facilitates equipment maintenance and cleaning.
[0032] An intelligent CO sensor 113 and an audible and visual alarm 114 are installed on the top of the device body 1, and the intelligent CO sensor 113 and the audible and visual alarm 114 are electrically connected.
[0033] The combination of intelligent CO sensor 113 and audible and visual alarm 114 provides real-time monitoring and timely warning of potential hazards. If the sensor detects excessive CO concentration, it immediately triggers the alarm, alerting the user to take appropriate safety measures. This intelligent design enhances device safety and user experience.
