AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In winter, the drain valve of the air compressor gas tank is easily blocked by ice, which prevents water from being discharged and may even damage the gas tank. The existing solution has safety hazards and is inconvenient to operate.

Method used

A device is designed, which includes a gas storage tank, a water tank, a vacuum tube collector and a hot water pipe. The device uses solar energy to heat the ice at the bottom of the gas storage tank. The vacuum tube collector absorbs solar energy and heats the water in the water tank. The hot water is transported to the bottom of the gas storage tank through the hot water pipe to melt the ice.

Benefits of technology

It can safely and conveniently melt the ice at the bottom of the gas tank in winter without manual operation, thus preventing the gas tank from freezing and cracking, and improving the maintenance efficiency of the air compressor.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of mechanical processing supporting, specifically relates to a device for air compressor tank drainage in winter. BACKGROUND

[0002] The air compressor tank has the drying effect on high pressure air, but water droplets are generated, gathered at the bottom of the tank, and form temporary water reserves. When the outdoor temperature is above zero degrees, the bottom drain valve of the tank can be opened to automatically release water on the ground or in the water storage pool. However, once it is winter, that is, the outdoor temperature is below zero degrees, the water inside the drain valve is easily frozen into ice to block the outlet. Once the bottom of the tank is completely frozen, the water discharge is affected, and even the tank is damaged. At present, the solution to this difficulty is to manually heat the tank drain valve with fire in winter to melt the ice inside the drain valve and release the water inside the tank. Such operation not only has safety problems, but also brings great inconvenience to the operator in winter and outdoor work. SUMMARY

[0003] (I) Technical problem to be solved

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is how to provide a device for air compressor tank drainage in winter to solve the problem of ice formation inside the tank drain valve of the air compressor.

[0005] (II) Technical scheme

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problem, the utility model provides a device for air compressor tank drainage in winter, comprising: a tank 1, a water tank 2, a vacuum tube type heat collector 3, a hot water pipe 4, and a cold water pipe 5.

[0007] The upper and lower ends of the tank 1 are provided with a hemispherical structure, and the middle part of the tank 1 is a column structure. A water tank 2 is arranged on the upper part of the side surface of the column of the tank 1, and a certain amount of cold water is stored in the water tank for standby.

[0008] A vacuum tube type heat collector 3 is arranged on the lower part of the side surface of the column of the tank 1, and a cold water pipe 5 is connected between the vacuum tube type heat collector 3 and the water tank 2. The vacuum tube type heat collector 3 is connected with the hot water pipe 4 inside the tank body below the tank 1.

[0009] The water in the water tank 2 is injected into the vacuum tube type heat collector 3, which absorbs solar energy under the sunlight to heat the cold water, and then the hot water enters the tank 1 through the hot water pipe 4 to heat the ice at the bottom of the tank.

[0010] The vacuum tube collector 3 is externally provided with a solar heat absorbing plate for absorbing solar energy to heat water in the vacuum tube collector 3.

[0011] The gas storage tank 1 is provided below with a ball valve for discharging stored water.

[0012] (Three) beneficial effects
