Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is a condensate distribution device, belonging to the field of biodiesel production. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of industry and agriculture and the improvement of mechanization in various fields, the demand for fuel has increased significantly, leading to a surge in the extraction of underground oil resources. Experts predict that oil resources will be depleted by the end of this century. Therefore, countries around the world are actively seeking new energy sources or developing alternative fuels. Biodiesel is one such alternative to petroleum resources. It can completely replace petroleum and produces very little sulfur dioxide in its exhaust gas, significantly reducing environmental pollution after combustion. The production of biodiesel involves adding methanol and a catalyst to waste cooking oil and then heating and esterifying these materials. To minimize resource waste, the steam generated during esterification needs to be condensed, and the resulting condensate collected. This condensate is then distributed through a distribution device for subsequent treatment.

[0003] In existing technologies, common condensate distribution devices mainly consist of a main pipe, several branch pipes, and valves connecting the main pipe and branch pipes. During use, condensate flowing into the main pipe is distributed to corresponding containers through the branch pipes. The valves are used to control the flow direction and flow rate of the condensate. When connecting the valve and branch pipes, the valve needs to be placed on one side of the branch pipe and a sealing ring needs to be added to the gap between the valve and the branch pipe. Finally, the valve, sealing ring, and branch pipe are fixed together with flanges and bolts. However, when the sealing ring on the valve side is damaged, since the sealing ring is tightly fixed between the valve and the branch pipe, the bolts need to be loosened to remove the entire valve from the side of the branch pipe before the sealing ring can be replaced, making the sealing ring replacement process quite cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a condensate distribution device that solves the problem mentioned in the background section where the sealing ring is tightly fixed between the valve and the branch pipe. ， This necessitates loosening the bolts to remove the entire valve from the side of the branch pipe before the sealing ring can be replaced, making the sealing ring replacement process rather complicated. Cumbersome .

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a condensate distribution device, including a main pipe, a plurality of branch pipes fixedly connected to the bottom end of the main pipe, a valve provided at the bottom end of each branch pipe, and a sealing assembly provided between the branch pipe and the valve;

[0006] The sealing assembly includes a connecting sleeve disposed on one side of the branch pipe. Two fixing plates are fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting sleeve. Several return springs are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two fixing plates. An extension seat is fixedly connected to the other end of the return spring. The extension seat and the connecting sleeve are slidably connected. A fixing frame is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting sleeve between the two fixing plates. A threaded rod is rotatably connected inside the fixing frame. An adjusting block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the threaded rod. A transmission block is fixedly connected to the side of the extension seat near the fixing frame. The adjusting block and the transmission block are slidably connected. A sealing ring is movably connected to the side of the extension seat away from the connecting sleeve.

[0007] Furthermore, the branch pipe and the valve surface are both fixedly connected to flanges, and the extension seat, the sealing ring and the flange surface are all provided with a number of locking holes. Locking bolts are inserted into the locking holes, and locking nuts are threaded onto the surface of the locking bolts.

[0008] Furthermore, an installation ring is fixedly connected to the side of the extension seat near the sealing ring, and the outer diameter of the installation ring is the same as the inner diameter of the sealing ring.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixing bracket is located between two adjacent locking holes, the height of the fixing bracket is greater than the height of the adjusting block, and the width of the fixing bracket is less than the distance between the two extension seats.

[0010] Furthermore, the adjusting block is frustum-shaped, and the transmission block is trapezoidal.

[0011] Furthermore, one side of the extension seat is circular, the diameter of one side of the extension seat is the same as the diameter of the sealing ring, and the diameter of the sealing ring is the same as the diameter of the flange.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by inserting the locking bolt into the locking hole and tightening the locking nut to the surface of the locking bolt, the branch pipe, sealing assembly and valve can be connected together;

[0013] Tightening the threaded rod causes it to move along the fixed frame. In conjunction with the adjusting block, transmission block, fixed plate, and return spring, it drives the two extension seats to slide back and forth on the surface of the connecting sleeve, thereby moving the two sealing rings. This allows the width of the sealing assembly to be adjusted, thus enabling the replacement of the sealing rings without disassembling the entire valve. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides a technical solution: a condensate distribution device, including a main pipe 1, a plurality of branch pipes 2 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the main pipe 1, a valve 3 provided at the bottom end of the branch pipes 2, and a sealing component 4 provided between the branch pipes 2 and the valves 3.

[0021] The sealing assembly 4 includes a connecting sleeve 41 disposed on one side of the branch pipe 2. Two fixing plates 42 are fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting sleeve 41. Several return springs 43 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two fixing plates 42. An extension seat 44 is fixedly connected to the other end of the return spring 43. The extension seat 44 is slidably connected to the connecting sleeve 41. A fixing frame 45 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting sleeve 41 between the two fixing plates 42. A threaded rod 46 is rotatably connected inside the fixing frame 45. An adjusting block 47 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the threaded rod 46. A transmission block 48 is fixedly connected to the side of the extension seat 44 near the fixing frame 45. The adjusting block 47 and the transmission block 48 are slidably connected. A sealing ring 49 is movably connected to the side of the extension seat 44 away from the connecting sleeve 41.

[0022] Tightening the threaded rod 46 causes it to move along the fixed frame 45. In conjunction with the adjusting block 47, the transmission block 48, the fixed plate 42, and the return spring 43, the two extension seats 44 will slide back and forth on the surface of the connecting sleeve 41, thereby moving the two sealing rings 49. This allows the width of the sealing assembly 4 to be adjusted, so that the sealing rings 49 can be replaced without disassembling the entire valve 3.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 3This utility model provides a technical solution: Flanges 5 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of both the branch pipe 2 and the valve 3. Several locking holes 6 are provided on the surfaces of the extension seat 44, the sealing ring 49, and the flanges 5. Locking bolts 7 are inserted into the locking holes 6, and locking nuts 8 are threaded onto the surfaces of the locking bolts 7. The branch pipe 2, the sealing assembly 4, and the valve 3 can be connected together by inserting the locking bolts 7 into the locking holes 6 and tightening the locking nuts 8 onto the surfaces of the locking bolts 7.

[0024] An installation ring 9 is fixedly connected to the side of the extension seat 44 near the sealing ring 49. The outer diameter of the installation ring 9 is the same as the inner diameter of the sealing ring 49. The sealing ring 49 is connected to the extension seat 44 by fitting it onto the surface of the installation ring 9 fixed to one side of the extension seat 44, thus enabling the sealing ring 49 to be positioned. The fact that the outer diameter of the installation ring 9 is the same as the inner diameter of the sealing ring 49 ensures the sealing performance and the strong connection between the installation ring 9 and the sealing ring 49.

[0025] The fixing bracket 45 is located between two adjacent locking holes 6. The height of the fixing bracket 45 is greater than the height of the adjusting block 47, and the width of the fixing bracket 45 is less than the distance between the two extension seats 44. The fixing bracket 45 is located between two adjacent locking holes 6 to avoid obstructing the installation of the locking bolt 7. The height of the fixing bracket 45 is greater than the height of the adjusting block 47 to ensure that the connecting sleeve 41 will not obstruct the movement of the adjusting block 47. The width of the fixing bracket 45 is less than the distance between the two extension seats 44 to ensure that the fixing bracket 45 will not obstruct the sliding of the extension seats 44 on the surface of the connecting sleeve 41.

[0026] The adjusting block 47 is frustum-shaped, and the transmission block 48 is trapezoidal. The frustum-shaped adjusting block 47 and the trapezoidal transmission block 48 ensure that when the threaded rod 46 moves the adjusting block 47, the adjusting block 47 can move along one side of the transmission block 48 and push the two transmission blocks 48 to move in opposite directions.

[0027] One side of the extension seat 44 is circular, and the diameter of one side of the extension seat 44 is the same as the diameter of the sealing ring 49. The diameter of the sealing ring 49 is the same as the diameter of the flange 5. The circular shape of one side of the extension seat 44 and the fact that its diameter is the same as the diameter of the sealing ring 49 ensure that the extension seat 44 can fully contact the sealing ring 49 and apply sufficient compressive force to the sealing ring 49 during the use of the sealing assembly 4.

[0028] Specific implementation method: Place the sealing component 4 and valve 3 on one side of the branch pipe 2 in sequence and ensure that the locking hole 6 is aligned. Then, pass the locking bolt 7 through the locking hole 6 and tighten the locking nut 8 to the surface of the locking bolt 7 to complete the assembly of the entire distribution device.

[0029] When the sealing ring 49 is damaged, the threaded rod 46 is turned. The threaded rod 46 will move away from the connecting sleeve 41 along the inner wall of the fixing bracket 45 fixed to the surface of the connecting sleeve 41. This will cause the adjusting block 47 fixed to one end of the threaded rod 46 to slide in the same direction along the transmission block 48 fixed to one side of the extension seat 44. During this process, the return spring 43 will reset and push the two extension seats 44 to slide towards each other along the surface of the connecting sleeve 41. At this time, the width of the sealing assembly 4 will be reduced, so that the sealing assembly 4 can be easily removed from between the branch pipe 2 and the valve 3. Finally, the sealing ring 49 fitted on the surface of the mounting ring 9 connected to the connecting sleeve 41 can be removed to replace the damaged sealing ring 49. The above steps can be completed without removing the entire valve 3 to replace the sealing ring 49, which simplifies the replacement of the sealing ring 49.

[0030] 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.
