Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steam recovery and utilization technology, and in particular relates to a steam condensate recovery and reuse device. Background Technology

[0002] Steam retains a relatively high temperature after condensation, and is therefore often used to heat other reactions through the condensate, thus utilizing heat. Heating other reactions through condensate is typically done via a water bath. Existing steam condensate recovery and reuse devices mostly place the reactor directly inside the container for water bath heating, then transfer the condensate into the container to heat the reactor. However, because the reactor is directly placed in the condensate, the condensate temperature near the reactor is lower than other areas due to heat exchange. The heat from the condensate in the container is transferred inwards to the reactor through heat exchange, resulting in a slow heating rate and a gradual increase in condensate temperature from the inside out, thus reducing the heating effect. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a steam condensate recovery and reuse device, which aims to solve the technical problem in the prior art where uneven condensate temperature and reduced heating effect are caused by heat exchange.

[0004] This utility model is implemented as follows: a steam condensate recovery and reuse device includes a condensate collection tank, a heating box, a cooling water tank and a cold water collection tank, wherein the condensate collection tank, the heating box, the cooling water tank and the cold water collection tank are connected in sequence.

[0005] The heating chamber is equipped with a coaxially arranged base plate and a fixing ring. The base plate and the fixing ring are rotatably mounted with multiple sets of connecting rods. A rotating power component that drives the base plate to rotate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the heating chamber. A reaction vessel is installed inside the heating chamber. The reaction vessel penetrates the top wall of the heating chamber and its bottom contacts the connecting rods. Multiple sets of guide plates arranged in a circular array around its axis are fixedly installed on the fixing ring. Through grooves are opened on the guide plates.

[0006] A further technical solution: The condensate collection tank, heating box, cooling water tank and cold water collection tank are connected in sequence through a first connecting pipe, a second connecting pipe and a third connecting pipe, and a water pump is fixedly installed on each of the first connecting pipe, the second connecting pipe and the third connecting pipe.

[0007] A further technical solution: the inner diameter of the fixing ring is larger than the diameter of the base plate and the height of the fixing ring is higher than that of the base plate. Multiple sets of connecting rods are arranged in a circular array around the axis of the base plate, and the projection of the connecting rods onto the base plate is distributed along the radial direction of the base plate.

[0008] A further technical solution: multiple sets of semi-circular protrusions with spaced intervals are fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting rod, and the protrusions are in contact with the bottom surface of the reactor.

[0009] A further technical solution: one side of the guide plate slides in contact with the surface of the reactor, and the position where the guide plate contacts the reactor is not perpendicular.

[0010] Further technical solution: A temperature sensor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the heating chamber, and a laser rangefinder sensor is fixedly installed at the top of the heating chamber.

[0011] A further technical solution: Two sets of symmetrically distributed telescopic components are fixedly installed on the top of the heating box, and the telescopic components drive the clamping plate to move.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. Because the guide plate has grooves and one side of the guide plate slides in contact with the surface of the reactor, when the guide plate rotates, the condensate near the reactor will be directly guided to the area away from the reactor through the grooves on the guide plate. The condensate in other nearby areas with higher temperatures will come into contact with the reactor for heat exchange, thereby ensuring that the condensate with higher temperatures exchanges heat with the reactor and improving the heating effect on the reactor.

[0014] 2. When the guide plate rotates, it can stir the condensate in the heating box, thereby making the condensate at different temperatures in the heating box fully mixed, improving the temperature uniformity of the condensate in the heating box, and further improving the heating effect on the reactor.

[0015] 3. It can recycle the condensate from the steam after use and use it to heat other products with low reaction temperatures. The temperature rise and fall are more stable, saving energy and reducing energy consumption. After cooling, the condensate can be reused for other domestic water use, realizing multiple reuse of steam and improving economic efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.

[0021] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a steam condensate recovery and reuse device, which includes a condensate collection tank 1, a heating box 2, a cooling water tank 3, and a cold water collection tank 4. The condensate collection tank 1, the heating box 2, the cooling water tank 3, and the cold water collection tank 4 are connected in sequence. The condensate collection tank 1, the heating box 2, the cooling water tank 3, and the cold water collection tank 4 are connected in sequence through a first connecting pipe 5, a second connecting pipe 7, and a third connecting pipe 8. A water pump 6 is fixedly installed on the first connecting pipe 5, the second connecting pipe 7, and the third connecting pipe 8. Insulation cotton is provided on the outside of the heating box 2.

[0023] The heating chamber 2 is equipped with a coaxially arranged base plate 9 and a fixing ring 10. Multiple sets of connecting rods 11 are rotatably mounted on the base plate 9 and the fixing ring 10. The inner diameter of the fixing ring 10 is larger than the diameter of the base plate 9, and the height of the fixing ring 10 is higher than that of the base plate 9. The multiple sets of connecting rods 11 are arranged in a circular array around the axis of the base plate 9, and the projection of the connecting rods 11 onto the base plate 9 is distributed along the radial direction of the base plate 9. A rotating power component 13 that drives the base plate 9 to rotate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the heating chamber 2. A reaction vessel 19 is installed inside the heating chamber 2, penetrating the top wall of the heating chamber 2 and extending to the bottom of the reaction vessel 19. The part contacts the connecting rod 11. Multiple sets of semi-circular protrusions 12 with intervals are fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting rod 11. The protrusions 12 contact the bottom surface of the reactor 19. Multiple sets of guide plates 15 arranged in a circular array around its axis are fixedly installed on the fixing ring 10. The guide plates 15 have through grooves. One side of the guide plate 15 slides in contact with the surface of the reactor 19 and the position of contact between the guide plate 15 and the reactor 19 is not perpendicular. A temperature sensor 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the heating box 2 and a laser rangefinder sensor 16 is fixedly installed at the top of the heating box 2.

[0024] In practical application, after the steam is used up, all the steam condensate is collected in the condensate collection tank 1. The reaction vessel 19 is placed in the heating box 2 and supported by the connecting rod 11. The water pump 6 on the first connecting pipe 5 transports the condensate in the condensate collection tank 1 to the heating box 2. The distance from the liquid level in the heating box 2 to the top of the heating box 2 is detected by the laser range sensor 16, thereby realizing the measurement of the liquid level height in the heating box 2. After the liquid level in the heating box 2 reaches the set height, the supply of condensate to the heating box 2 is stopped.

[0025] The condensate comes into contact with the reactor 19 inside the heating box 2 and heats the reactor 19. After heat exchange between the condensate and the reactor 19, the temperature of the condensate near the reactor 19 is lower than that of other areas. At this time, the base plate 9 is rotated by the rotating power component 13. The rotation of the base plate 9 causes the connecting rod 11, the fixing ring 10, and the guide plate 15 to rotate. Since the guide plate 15 has a groove and one side of the guide plate 15 slides in contact with the surface of the reactor 19, when the guide plate 15 rotates, the condensate near the reactor 19 will flow through... The condensate in the guide plate 15 is directly guided to the area away from the reactor 19 through the groove. The condensate in other nearby areas with higher temperatures will come into contact with the reactor 19 for heat exchange, thereby ensuring that the condensate in the higher temperature water exchanges heat with the reactor 19 and improving the heating effect on the reactor 19. At the same time, when the guide plate 15 rotates, it can stir the condensate in the heating box 2, thereby making the condensate of different temperatures in the heating box 2 fully mixed, improving the temperature uniformity of the condensate in the heating box 2, and further improving the heating effect on the reactor 19.

[0026] When the base plate 9 rotates, the protrusion 12 contacts the bottom of the reactor 19. At this time, the connecting rod 11 rotates, causing the protrusion 12 to contact different positions on the reactor 19. When the protrusion 12 contacts the reactor 19, it knocks on the bottom of the reactor 19, and the vibration causes the material inside the reactor 19 to flow, thereby improving the uniformity of heating of the material inside the reactor 19 and further improving the heating effect. When the temperature sensor 14 detects that the temperature of the condensate in the heating box 2 has dropped to the set threshold, the water pump 6 on the second connecting pipe 7 draws the condensate from the heating box 2 and transports it to the cooling water tank 3 for cooling. The cooled condensate is then transported to the cold water collection tank 4 by the water pump 6 on the third connecting pipe 8. The cold water in the cold water collection tank 4 can then be used for domestic water other than drinking water, solving the problems of serious steam waste, low condensate utilization rate, and resource waste. At the same time, the used condensate is cooled and collected as cooling water and domestic water, further reducing energy consumption and water waste.

[0027] In one example of this embodiment, the rotating power component 13 is an electric motor, but it can also be a hydraulic motor or other components that can output rotational power. The motor drives the guide plate 15 to rotate, thereby causing the condensate in the heating box 2 to flow.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a steam condensate recovery and reuse device. Two sets of symmetrically distributed telescopic components 17 are fixedly installed on the top of the heating box 2. The telescopic components 17 drive the clamping plate 18 to move.

[0029] In practical application, the reactor 19 is placed in the heating box 2 so that its lower end contacts the protrusion 12 on the connecting rod 11. The reactor 19 is supported by multiple sets of connecting rods 11. Then, the telescopic member 17 drives the clamping plate 18 to move inward to clamp and fix the reactor 19.

[0030] In one example of this utility model, the telescopic component 17 is an electric telescopic rod, but it can also be other components such as a hydraulic cylinder that can actively change length. The electric telescopic rod drives the clamping plate 18 to move, thereby achieving the clamping and fixing of the reactor 19.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
