[0012] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0013] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on its overall structure.

[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model includes a main steam pipe 1, a vertical pipe 2 and a curved pipe 3. The vertical pipe 2 is connected to the main steam pipe 1 through a tee pipe 4. The tee pipe 4 is a DN200 tee pipe. The vertical pipe 2 is set vertically downward to collect impurities generated during the operation of the main steam pipe and discharge them during maintenance. The curved pipe 3 is connected to the vertical pipe 2 through a tee pipe 5. The tee pipe 5 is a DN200 to DN50 tee pipe. The vertical pipe 2 includes a DN200 vertical Pipe section 21, DN100 vertical pipe section 22 and DN50 vertical pipe section 23, the DN200 vertical pipe section 21 is connected to the DN100 vertical pipe section 22 through a reducer 8, the reducer 8 is a DN200 to DN100 reducer, the DN100 vertical pipe section 22 is connected to the DN50 vertical pipe section 23 through a reducer 9, the reducer 9 is a DN100 to DN50 reducer, and a manual stop valve 10 is installed on the DN50 vertical pipe section 23.
