Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of anti-backflow equipment, specifically to an anti-backflow feeding tube. Background Technology
[0002] In chemical plants using pressure vessels or reactors, inserting the feed pipe below the liquid surface ensures a more stable entry of materials and prevents cavitation. Therefore, most feed pipes are inserted below the liquid surface to improve safety and efficiency. However, during temporary shutdowns, maintenance, or valve failures of the pressure vessel, backflow may occur at the feed pipe. To prevent backflow, check valves or one-way valves are typically used. For example, Chinese Patent 202221347231.6 discloses a negative pressure drainage bottle for backflow prevention. The backflow prevention device is a funnel with a gradually decreasing inner diameter from top to bottom, and a one-way valve is installed at the lower end of the device.
[0003] In the aforementioned prior art, check valves or one-way valves are very effective devices in preventing liquid backflow or reverse flow. However, in practical applications, they are prone to failure due to improper valve selection and material corrosion during use. Utility Model Content

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0030] To address the technical problem that check valves or one-way valves are prone to failure due to improper valve selection and material corrosion during use, this utility model provides an anti-backflow feed tube that can controllably raise the retractable tube above the liquid surface, effectively preventing liquid backflow.
[0031] It should be noted that the anti-backflow feed tube of this utility model is used in, but not limited to, pressure vessels. For ease of explanation, this utility model only uses the application of the anti-backflow feed tube in pressure vessels as an example. The principle of the anti-backflow feed tube in other types of equipment is essentially the same as that in pressure vessels, and will not be described in detail here.
[0032] See also Figure 1-5This utility model provides an anti-backflow feeding tube, which includes an outer sleeve 1, a feeding pipe 2, an inner tube 3, and a telescopic mechanism 4. The outer sleeve 1 is used for through-mounting on a container 7; the feeding pipe 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer sleeve 1 for feeding; the inner tube 3 is movably connected to the inside of the outer sleeve 1 and can slide up and down along the outer sleeve 1 to adjust the height position of the inner tube 3 inside the container 7. The inner tube 3 has a strip axially aligned with the end of the feeding pipe 2. During vertical movement, the feed pipe 2 remains aligned with the slotted hole 301, forming a continuous feeding channel. This ensures that the feeding medium is not interrupted during the height adjustment process of the inner tube 3. The telescopic mechanism 4 is mounted on the outer sleeve, and its movable end is connected to the inner tube 3. It drives the inner tube 3 to rise or fall axially along the outer sleeve 1, switching the inner tube 3 between a first position below the liquid surface and a second position above the liquid surface. In the first position, the inner tube 3 is inserted below the liquid surface, ensuring a more stable entry of material into the container and preventing cavitation. In the second position, the inner tube 3 is suspended above the liquid surface, effectively preventing backflow of liquid.
[0033] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In order to seal during the sliding and telescoping of the inner tube 3, a sealing sleeve 5 is provided on the outer side of the inner tube 3. The sealing sleeve 5 fits against the inner wall of the outer sleeve 1 and is used to seal between the inner tube 3 and the outer sleeve 1.
[0034] Furthermore, in order to provide a good sealing effect, especially to seal the outer periphery of the strip-shaped hole 301, the length of the sealing sleeve 5 is greater than the length of the strip-shaped hole 301, and the sealing sleeve 5 is provided with an opening 501 that matches the strip-shaped hole 301. The opening 501 prevents the sealing sleeve 5 from blocking the strip-shaped hole 301, and the sealing sleeve 5 covering the outer periphery of the strip-shaped hole 301 can effectively fit with the outer sleeve 1 to seal the gap and prevent leakage at the medium flow point between the feed pipe 2 and the inner insertion pipe 3.
[0035] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 In order to limit the upper and lower positions during the lifting and lowering of the inner tube 3, one end of the feed tube 2 passes through the outer sleeve 1 and the strip-shaped hole 301 in sequence and extends to the inner side of the feed tube 2. Thus, when the inner tube 3 descends to the lowest position, the inner top wall of the strip-shaped hole 301 abuts against the top of the feed tube 2. Similarly, when the inner tube 3 rises to the highest position, the inner bottom wall of the strip-shaped hole 301 abuts against the bottom of the feed tube 2, thus forming the upper and lower limits of the lifting and lowering of the inner tube 3.
[0036] Furthermore, the inner top wall and inner bottom wall of the strip-shaped hole 301 are provided with arc surfaces 302 that match the outer diameter of the feed pipe 2, so that the feed pipe 2 can fit together when it comes into contact with the inner top wall and inner bottom wall of the strip-shaped hole 301.
[0037] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 To provide double protection against backflow, the inner tube 3 also has a third position state where it abuts against the inner bottom wall of the strip-shaped hole 301. A sealing plate 6 is provided on the inner side of the inner tube 3. In the third position state, the sealing plate 6 covers the end of the feed tube 2 that extends into the feed tube 2. That is, in the third position state, the channel through which the medium passes is directly closed. Together with raising the inner tube 3 above the liquid level line 701, this forms a double protection against backflow.
[0038] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 To facilitate the disassembly and maintenance of the telescopic mechanism 4, the outer sleeve 1 includes a first cylinder 11 and a second cylinder 12. The first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12 are detachably connected. The top end of the second cylinder 12 is sealed. The telescopic mechanism 4 is installed inside the second cylinder 12. The feed pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the first cylinder 11. The inner insertion pipe 3 is slidably connected to the inside of the first cylinder 11. The telescopic mechanism 4 can be disassembled and maintained by separating the first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12.
[0039] Understandably, during assembly, the telescopic mechanism 4 is first installed into the second cylinder 12, then the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the inner tube 3, and then the first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12 are connected and tightened.
[0040] Furthermore, a flange 101 is provided at one end of the first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12 opposite to each other. The two flanges 101 are connected by bolts and nuts, which facilitates the connection and disassembly of the first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12.
[0041] Optionally in this embodiment, the telescopic mechanism 4 includes a multi-section hydraulic telescopic rod, one end of which is fixed to the inner top wall of the outer sleeve 1, and the other end is connected to the top end of the inner insertion tube 3.
[0042] Optionally in this embodiment, the telescopic mechanism 4 includes a multi-section electric telescopic rod, one end of which is fixed to the inner top wall of the outer sleeve 1, and the other end is connected to the top end of the inner insertion tube 3.
[0043] Understandably, multi-section hydraulic telescopic rods and multi-section electric telescopic rods are just two optional devices with telescopic functions. Other drive components with linear telescopic functions can also be used, and there is no single limitation here.
[0044] To better understand this utility model, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 6 The technical solution of this utility model is described in detail as follows: In the first position, the bottom end of the inner tube 3 is inserted below the liquid level 701 of the pressure vessel 7, and the pressure vessel 7 is normally fed through the channel formed by the feed pipe 2, the strip-shaped hole 301, and the inner tube 3; In the second position, the bottom end of the inner tube 3 is raised above the liquid level 701 of the pressure vessel, which can prevent liquid backflow when the pressure vessel is temporarily shut down, under maintenance, or when the valve fails; In the third position, the inner tube 3 continues to rise, and the sealing plate 6 is sealed to the end of the feed pipe 2, thereby forming a second layer of anti-backflow measures and providing double insurance against backflow.
[0045] The specific embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
