Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of automatic drainage of air storage tanks, and in particular to an automatic drainage control system for an air compressor air storage tank. Background Art

[0002] A gas tank is a device specifically used to store gas and also serves to stabilize the system pressure. It can be divided into high-pressure gas tanks, low-pressure gas tanks and normal-pressure gas tanks according to the pressure it can withstand. It can be divided into carbon steel gas tanks, low-alloy steel gas tanks and stainless steel gas tanks according to the material of the gas tank. A gas tank (pressure vessel) is generally composed of parts and components such as a cylinder, a head, a flange, a pipe, a sealing element and a support. In addition, it is also equipped with safety devices, meters and internal parts to complete different production process functions.

[0003] The existing technical solution is to add a valve under the compressed air storage tank, and manually open the valve to drain the water every once in a while. In actual production, due to weather reasons or other reasons, the operator may fail to drain the water in time, resulting in water in the compressed air pipeline, causing the pipeline and equipment to rust, and pneumatic components to malfunction or misoperation. More importantly, when using compressed air to dry the product, the product humidity is too high, affecting the product quality.

[0004] Therefore, we propose an automatic drainage control system for air compressor air tank to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, a top cover is provided above the electric control box, and the bottom surface of the top cover is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the electric control box.

[0009] Preferably, three supporting legs are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the tank body, and a support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of each supporting leg.

[0010] Preferably, an air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the tank body, and an air outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the tank body.

[0012] Preferably, four mounting components are provided inside the electric control box, and the bottom end of each mounting component passes through the electric control box and extends to the bottom of the electric control box.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom surface of each group of the mounting components is fixedly connected to a mounting plate, and the bottom surfaces of the two mounting plates are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base.

[0014] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this application are:

[0015] By installing a ball valve and a solenoid valve on the outer surface of the drain pipe, the drainage control method is changed from the original manual opening and closing valve to an electric control valve. There is no need to manually open and close the valve on time, thus avoiding the labor of the staff. The control system has a DC power supply inside the electric control box that is electrically connected to the clock controller. In addition, the DC power supply is electrically connected to one of the prompt lights, and the clock controller is electrically connected to another prompt light. Finally, four clock controllers are electrically connected to the solenoid valve. Different times can be adjusted separately through the four clock controllers, and one or two of the clock controllers can be controlled. When the specified time is reached, the clock controller will automatically trip to prevent the solenoid valve circuit from starting and then starting the solenoid valve to open the valve to drain the accumulated water, ultimately achieving the effect of automatic drainage. During the entire process, there is no need for manual intervention in drainage, which greatly saves manpower and has a significant drainage effect. It is not easy to cause corrosion of pipes and equipment, and the failure or misoperation of pneumatic components is greatly reduced. When compressed air is used to blow dry the product, the effect is particularly obvious, which greatly ensures the quality of the product. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
