Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air compressor gas tanks, in particular to a self-draining air compressor gas tank. Background Art

[0002] Air compressor tanks are key pressure vessels for storing compressed air. They stabilize air pressure, balance fluctuations in compressor exhaust pressure, and ensure a stable air supply. They also store air and provide a continuous supply when the compressor is idle, improving efficiency and saving energy.

[0003] Draining an air compressor tank is a crucial step in tank maintenance. Temperature fluctuations in the compressed air within the tank cause water vapor to condense into liquid water. Failure to drain this water can negatively impact the tank and the equipment using it. First, it can cause rust and corrosion inside the tank, shortening its lifespan. Second, water can enter equipment along with the compressed air, affecting performance and accuracy, and even causing failure. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to facilitate the drainage of an air compressor tank, the present application provides a self-draining air compressor tank.

[0005] The present application provides an air compressor tank that facilitates drainage, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A self-draining air compressor tank comprises an air tank with an air storage chamber and a drainage assembly, wherein the drainage assembly is used to discharge water in the air storage chamber, and the air tank is respectively provided with an air inlet and a water outlet which are connected to the outside and the air outlet chamber, and the drainage assembly comprises a blocking block, a buoyancy block and a hinged rod, wherein the blocking block is movably connected in the air storage chamber, and the buoyancy block is slidably connected to the blocking block along the axial direction of the blocking block, and one end of the hinged rod is fixedly connected to the buoyancy block, and the end of the hinged rod away from the buoyancy block is hingedly connected to the inner wall of the air storage chamber, and when the blocking block moves toward the water outlet to a first position, the blocking block blocks the water outlet.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a drainage assembly is set in the air tank to discharge the water in the air tank; when the water level in the air tank rises and the buoyancy block floats, the buoyancy block and the blocking block are moved toward the side away from the water outlet by buoyancy, so that the water outlet is opened and the water in the air tank is discharged from the water outlet; when the water level drops, the blocking block moves toward the side of the water outlet to block the drainage port, thereby reducing the possibility of waste in discharging compressed gas in the air tank; by making the buoyancy block slidably connected to the blocking block, when the buoyancy block slides toward the side away from the blocking block, the water level when the water outlet is opened becomes higher, and when the buoyancy block slides toward the side of the blocking block, the water level when the water outlet is opened becomes lower, so that the water level when the water outlet is opened is adjustable, which is convenient for draining the air compressor tank, reduces the possibility of rust and corrosion inside the gas tank, shortens the service life of the gas tank, and reduces the possibility of water entering the equipment along with the compressed air.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes an adjusting piece, which is used to adjust the position of the buoyancy block on the block. The adjusting piece includes a threaded rod and an arc-shaped hook handle. One end of the threaded rod is fixedly connected to the buoyancy block, and the other end of the threaded rod is passed through and threadedly connected to the block. The arc-shaped hook handle is fixedly connected to the block.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, an adjusting part is set to adjust the position of the buoyancy block on the block to adjust the water level when the water outlet is opened.

The threaded rod can be rotated in a variety of ways, which is convenient for adjusting the position of the buoyancy block; if the width of the force block is greater than the diameter of the threaded rod, the movement of the threaded rod is limited, reducing the possibility of the threaded rod rotating excessively and detaching from the block.

[0012] Preferably, the air storage chamber is provided with a plurality of baffles at one end close to the air inlet, and the baffles are staggered. When the compressed air enters the air storage chamber from the air inlet, the compressed air impacts the baffles.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when compressed air enters the air storage chamber from the air inlet, the setting of several baffles hinders the flow of compressed gas, causing most of the moisture on the compressed gas to collide with the baffles and drip down, thereby reducing the possibility of the compressed gas in the air storage tank carrying a large amount of moisture, thereby reducing the possibility of water entering the equipment along with the compressed air, affecting the performance and accuracy of the equipment, and even causing equipment failure.

[0019] 1. The utility model discharges the water in the gas tank by arranging a drainage component in the gas tank; when the water level in the gas tank rises and the buoyancy block floats, the buoyancy block and the blocking block are moved toward the side away from the water outlet by buoyancy, so that the water outlet is opened and the water in the gas tank is discharged from the water outlet; when the water level drops, the blocking block moves toward the side of the water outlet to block the drainage port, thereby reducing the possibility of waste in discharging compressed gas in the gas tank; the buoyancy block is slidably connected to the blocking block, when the buoyancy block slides toward the side away from the blocking block, the water level when the water outlet is opened becomes higher, and when the buoyancy block slides toward the side of the blocking block, the water level when the water outlet is opened becomes lower, so that the water level when the water outlet is opened is adjustable, which is convenient for draining the gas tank of the air compressor, reduces the possibility of rust and corrosion inside the gas tank, shortening the service life of the gas tank, and at the same time reduces the possibility of water entering the equipment along with the compressed air;

[0020] 2. The utility model provides an adjustment member to adjust the position of the buoyancy block on the block, thereby adjusting the water level when the water outlet is opened.

[0029] The following is combined with Figures 1-6 The present application is further described in detail to make the technical solution of the present application easier to understand and grasp.

[0030] The embodiment of the present application discloses a self-draining air compressor tank.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present embodiment of a self-draining air compressor tank includes a tank 1 with an air storage chamber 11 and a drainage assembly 2. The drainage assembly 2 is used to drain water from the air storage chamber 11. The tank 1 is provided with an air inlet 12 and a water outlet 13, which communicate with the outside and the air outlet chamber. The air storage chamber 11 is arranged to gradually expand from one end near the water outlet 13 to the end away from the water outlet 13. The water in the air storage chamber 11 is guided so that it flows toward the water outlet 13 and gathers.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The drainage assembly 2 includes a blocking block 21, a buoyancy block 22 and a hinged rod 23. The blocking block 21 is movably connected in the air storage chamber 11. The buoyancy block 22 is slidably connected to the blocking block 21 along the axial direction of the blocking block 21. One end of the hinged rod 23 is fixedly connected to the buoyancy block 22. The end of the hinged rod 23 away from the buoyancy block 22 is hingedly connected to the inner wall of the air storage chamber 11. When the blocking block 21 moves to the first position toward the water outlet 13, the blocking block 21 blocks the water outlet 13.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5When the water level in the gas tank 1 rises and the buoyancy block 22 floats, the buoyancy block 22 and the blocking block 21 are moved toward the side away from the water outlet 13 by buoyancy, so that the water outlet 13 is opened and the water in the gas tank 1 is discharged from the water outlet 13. When the water level drops, the blocking block 21 moves toward the side of the water outlet 13, blocking the drain outlet, reducing the possibility of waste of compressed gas in the gas tank 1; by making the buoyancy block 22 slidably connected to the blocking block 21, when the buoyancy block 22 slides toward the side away from the blocking block 21, the water level when the water outlet 13 is opened becomes higher, and when the buoyancy block 22 slides toward the side of the blocking block 21, the water level when the water outlet 13 is opened becomes lower, so that the water level when the water outlet 13 is opened is adjustable, which is convenient for draining the air compressor tank 1, reducing the possibility of rust and corrosion inside the gas tank 1, shortening the service life of the gas tank 1, and at the same time reducing the possibility of water entering the equipment along with the compressed air.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , further comprising an adjusting member 3 for adjusting the position of the buoyancy block 22 on the block 21. The adjusting member 3 comprises a threaded rod 31 and an arcuate hook 32. One end of the threaded rod 31 is fixedly connected to the buoyancy block 22, and the other end of the threaded rod 31 passes through and is threadedly connected to the block 21. A force-applying block 33 is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod 31 away from the buoyancy block 22. The width of the force-applying block 33 is greater than the diameter of the threaded rod 31, and a slot 34 is defined on the side of the force-applying block 33 away from the buoyancy block 22. The arcuate hook 32 is fixedly connected to the block 21.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , adjust the position of the buoyancy block 22 on the block 21 to adjust the water level when the water outlet is opened. Use a tool to lift the water outlet 13 and pull the arc hook handle 32 to prevent the block 21 from moving. Then rotate the threaded rod 31. Through the threaded connection between the threaded rod 31 and the block 21, adjust the position of the threaded rod 31 on the block 21, thereby adjusting the position of the buoyancy block 22 on the block 21. By applying force to the force block 33 and rotating the force block 33, or inserting a tool into the slot 34 to rotate the force block 33, the threaded rod 31 is rotated, and the position of the threaded rod 31 on the block 21 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the buoyancy block 22 on the block 21. The threaded rod 31 can be rotated in a variety of ways to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the buoyancy block 22. If the width of the force block 33 is greater than the diameter of the threaded rod 31, the movement of the threaded rod 31 is limited, reducing the possibility of the threaded rod 31 rotating and detaching from the block 21.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6A plurality of baffles 14 are fixedly connected to one end of the air storage chamber 11 near the air inlet 12, and the baffles 14 are staggered. When compressed air enters the air storage chamber 11 from the air inlet 12, the compressed air impacts the baffles 14. When compressed air enters the air storage chamber 11 from the air inlet 12, the arrangement of the baffles 14 hinders the flow of compressed gas, causing most of the moisture in the compressed gas to collide with the baffles 14 and drip off. This reduces the possibility of the compressed gas in the air storage tank 1 being carried with a large amount of moisture, thereby reducing the possibility of water entering the equipment along with the compressed air, affecting the performance and accuracy of the equipment, or even causing equipment failure.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 The end of the air storage chamber 11 close to the water inlet is fixedly connected to a guide plate 15, and the distance between the guide plate 15 and the water outlet 13 gradually becomes closer from the end close to the air inlet 12 to the end away from the air inlet 12, and the distance between the two ends of the guide plate 15 in the width direction and the middle end of the guide plate 15 gradually becomes closer to the water outlet 13. Water dripping from the baffle 14 falls onto the guide plate 15, and is guided by the guide plate 15 to fall to the side of the water outlet 13.

[0038] Of course, the above are only typical examples of the present application. In addition, the present application may have many other specific implementation methods. Any technical solutions formed by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of protection required by the present application.
