Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of coal gas water seals, in particular to a multi-column coal gas water seal groove. Background Art

[0002] Gas water seal tanks are widely used in gas systems as a crucial device for preventing gas leaks, particularly in industrial gas storage, piping, and processing. Water seal tanks utilize a water column to seal the diaphragm, preventing gas leaks and ensuring safe system operation. Their primary function is to prevent gas backflow, leaks, and potential safety hazards caused by system pressure fluctuations. Water seal tanks are used for sealing gas pipelines, isolating gas from gas equipment, and other applications requiring gas sealing.

[0003] At present, traditional gas water seal tanks have some shortcomings in sealing performance. Gas can easily leak out through the water seal tank. Since most water seal tanks adopt a single water chamber design, when the water column height is insufficient, the sealing effect is limited and it cannot completely block the gas. At the same time, the pressure on the structural welds of the water seal tank increases. Especially when the pressure in the system fluctuates, the concentrated water pressure can easily damage the welds, increasing the risk of deformation and leakage of the tank body. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-column gas water seal tank to solve at least one aspect of the problems and defects raised in the above background technology.

[0005] A multi-column gas water seal tank is provided, comprising a tank cylinder, wherein a plurality of partition baffles are provided on the tank cylinder, and the plurality of partition baffles divide the tank cylinder into a first water chamber, a second water chamber and a second water chamber; a water inlet pipe is provided on one side of the bottom of the tank cylinder, the water inlet pipe is connected to the first water chamber, the first water chamber is connected to the second water chamber via a first water conduit, the second water chamber is connected to the third water chamber via a second water conduit, and a water outlet pipe is provided on one side of the upper part of the third water chamber, and the water outlet pipe is provided on one side of the upper part of the tank cylinder.

[0006] Furthermore, the water tank cylinder includes a cylinder body, a plurality of partition baffles are provided on the cylinder body, a top cover is provided on the cylinder body, and the partition baffles are arranged inside the cylinder body to divide the water tank into a plurality of independent water chambers, which helps to disperse the water pressure so that the water column in each water chamber forms an independent seal, thereby effectively preventing gas leakage.

[0007] Furthermore, three pressure relief valves are arranged above the top cover, and the three pressure relief valves are respectively arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the first equal-division water chamber, the second equal-division water chamber and the second equal-division water chamber. Each pressure relief valve is connected to the corresponding equal-division water chamber to ensure that each water chamber can manage pressure independently. Since each water chamber may produce different pressure values ​​due to different positions or gas flow conditions, the independent pressure relief design avoids the mutual influence of pressure between water chambers. If the pressure of a water chamber exceeds the threshold.

[0008] Furthermore, a base is provided at the bottom of the cylinder body, and the base is used to stably place the water tank cylinder to ensure that the entire water seal tank structure can be stably placed on the ground platform.

[0009] Furthermore, a hand hole mounting seat is provided under the base, and the hand hole mounting seat is located close to the bottom plate, which is conducive to rapid drainage. Especially when it is necessary to empty the pool or clean the condensed water, the water at the bottom can be quickly consumed through the hand hole on the hand hole mounting seat. The position design of the hand hole is also used to check and observe the condensed water discharge of each chamber inside the sink cylinder to ensure that the condensed water in each chamber inside the sink cylinder can be drained cleanly to prevent excessive water accumulation and affect the subsequent sealing effect of the entire sink cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, three drain valve bodies are provided on one side of the bottom of the outer wall of the cylinder body, and the three drain valve bodies are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the first equal water chamber, the second equal water chamber and the second equal water chamber, avoiding mutual interference of water levels between water chambers. When a water chamber needs to be drained, the drain valve body can be operated, and the normal operation of other high-efficiency water chambers will not be affected. Since water may evaporate or condensate may accumulate in the water chamber during the operation of the gas water seal tank, the provision of three drain valve bodies makes it more convenient to discharge the accumulated water regularly, preventing too much or too little water in the water chamber from affecting the sealing effect. The operator can directly discharge the accumulated water in each water chamber through the drain valve body for maintenance and cleaning, ensuring that the gas water seal tank maintains a normal water level during operation.

[0011] Furthermore, fillet welds are formed at the connections between several partition baffles and the top cover, as well as at the connections between the cylinder body. The weld leg size of the fillet welds should meet certain structural requirements to ensure the quality of welding and the stability of the structure. In addition, the connection method of the fillet weld has the advantage of not weakening the cross-section of the component, while having good sealing performance and greater connection stiffness. It is suitable for applications requiring higher sealing and structural stability. A fillet weld of at least ten millimeters is left at the connection to enhance the water seal tank weld's resistance to pressure.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] The utility model divides the water tank cylinder into a first water chamber, a second water chamber and a third water chamber. The water columns in the second water chamber and the third water chamber are connected to the first water pipe and the second water pipe through the partition baffle to form a continuous water seal to prevent gas leakage. The multi-column structure of the water seal effectively improves the sealing performance, making it difficult for gas to leak out through the water seal tank. In addition, the first water chamber, the second water chamber and the third water chamber independently bear the water pressure, which reduces the pressure on the weld of a single water seal tank and reduces the risk of deformation or damage caused by concentrated water pressure, thereby improving the safety and service life of the overall structure.

[0014] In addition, by achieving gas sealing through multiple lower water columns, the height of the entire water seal tank can be reduced. In addition, since the multi-column structure disperses the flow and pressure of water, the overall design is more compact and the footprint is reduced. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. That is, the embodiments described herein are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and illustrated in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in a variety of different configurations.

[0024] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See also Figure 1-2As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, a multi-column gas water seal tank includes a water tank body 1, and a plurality of partition baffles 2 are provided on the water tank body 1. The plurality of partition baffles 2 divide the water tank body 1 into a first equal water chamber 111, a second equal water chamber 112 and a third equal water chamber 113. The structure of the water seal of the multiple water chambers effectively improves the sealing performance, making it difficult for the gas to leak out through the water seal tank. A water inlet pipe 3 is provided on one side of the bottom of the water tank body 1, and the water inlet pipe 3 is connected to the first equal water chamber 111. The first equal water chamber 113 is connected to the water chamber 111. 1 is connected to the second water chamber 112 through the first water pipe 221, and the second water chamber 112 is connected to the third water chamber 113 through the second water pipe 222. The upper side of the third water chamber 113 is provided with a water outlet pipe 4, which is provided on the upper side of the water tank body 1. The multi-column gas water seal tank is provided with a plurality of partition baffles 2 to divide the water tank body 1 into the first water chamber 111, the second water chamber 112 and the third water chamber 113. The first water chamber 111 is connected to the water chamber 113 through the first water pipe 221. The second water chamber 112 is connected to the third water chamber 113 through the second water pipe 222. The water columns in the first water chamber 111, the second water chamber 112 and the third water chamber 113 form a continuous water seal through the partition baffle 2 and the first water pipe 221 and the second water pipe 222 to prevent gas leakage. The multi-column structure of the water seal effectively improves the sealing performance, making it difficult for gas to leak out through the water seal groove. In addition, the first water chamber 111 and the second water chamber 113 are connected to each other through the water pipe 222. 2 and the third equally divided water chamber 113 independently bear the water pressure, reducing the pressure on the welds of a single water seal tank and the risk of deformation or damage caused by concentrated water pressure, thereby improving the safety and service life of the overall structure. Traditional water seal tanks mostly require a higher water column to achieve the same sealing effect, while the multi-column structure achieves gas sealing through multiple lower water columns, thereby reducing the height of the entire water seal tank. In addition, since the multi-column structure disperses the flow and pressure of water, the overall design is more compact and the floor space is also reduced.

[0026] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water tank cylinder 1 includes a cylinder body 11, a plurality of partition baffles 2 are provided on the cylinder body 11, a top cover 12 is provided on the cylinder body 11, and the cylinder body 11 and the partition baffles 2 are arranged inside the cylinder body 11, dividing the water tank into a plurality of independent water chambers, which helps to disperse the water pressure so that the water column in each water chamber forms an independent seal, thereby effectively preventing gas leakage.

[0027] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, three pressure relief valves 5 are provided above the top cover 12, and the three pressure relief valves 5 are respectively provided in one-to-one correspondence with the first equal-division water chamber 111, the second equal-division water chamber 112 and the third equal-division water chamber 113. Each pressure relief valve 5 is connected to the corresponding equal-division water chamber to ensure that each water chamber can independently manage the pressure. Since each water chamber may produce different pressure values ​​due to different positions or gas flow conditions, the independent pressure relief design can transform the water seal tank from a pressure vessel into a normal pressure vessel, which is convenient for draining water and cleaning sediments inside the tank during maintenance. In addition, by opening the pressure relief valves 5 in sequence to observe whether pressurized gas is sprayed out, it can be judged whether there are any leaks inside the tank, which greatly increases the reliability of the equipment.

[0028] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a base 6 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder body 11, and the base 6 is used to stably place the water tank cylinder 1 to ensure that the entire water seal tank structure can be stably placed on the ground platform.

[0029] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a hand hole mounting seat 7 is provided on one side of the upper part of the cylinder body 11. The hand hole mounting seat 7 is located near the base 6, which is conducive to rapid drainage. Especially when condensed water needs to be cleaned, the water at the bottom can be quickly consumed through the hand hole on the hand hole mounting seat 7. The position design of the hand hole is also used here to check and observe the condensed water discharge of each sub-chamber inside the water tank cylinder 1 to ensure that the condensed water in each sub-chamber inside the water tank cylinder 1 can be drained clean.

[0030] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, three drain valve bodies 8 are provided on one side of the bottom of the outer wall of the cylinder body 11, and the three drain valve bodies 8 are arranged one by one with the first equal water chamber 111, the second equal water chamber 112 and the third equal water chamber 113. The three drain valve bodies 8 are respectively connected to the three equal water chambers to ensure that each water chamber has independent drainage capacity. Through this design, each water chamber can be drained separately to avoid mutual interference of water levels between water chambers. When a water chamber needs to be drained, the drain valve body 8 can be operated, and the normal operation of other high-efficiency water chambers will not be affected. Since condensed water and sediment will accumulate in the water chamber during the operation of the gas water seal tank, the operator can directly discharge the accumulated water and sediment in each water chamber through the drain valve body 8 and perform maintenance and cleaning to avoid sediment clogging the internal water pipe and making the water seal tank function ineffective.

[0031] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, fillet welds are formed at the connections between several partition baffles 2 and the top cover 12, as well as at the connections between the cylinder body 11. The weld leg size of the fillet welds should meet certain structural requirements to ensure the quality of welding and the stability of the structure. In addition, the connection method of the fillet weld has the advantage of not weakening the cross-section of the component, while having good sealing performance and greater connection stiffness. It is suitable for applications requiring higher sealing and structural stability. A fillet weld of at least ten millimeters is left at the connection to enhance the water seal tank weld's resistance to pressure.

[0032] The above content is merely an example and explanation of the structure of the present utility model. Technicians in this technical field may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in a similar manner. As long as they do not deviate from the structure of the utility model or exceed the scope defined by the claims, they should all fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
