TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to U type water seal technical field, concretely is a kind of anti-freezing U type water seal structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] U type water seal commonly used in industrial production equipment is a device for cutting off industrial gas medium flow, and the flow of industrial gas medium is cut off by the pressure generated by a certain liquid level. The existing industrial U type water seal is provided with an upper water pipe opening, an overflow pipe opening and a discharge pipe opening. The upper water pipe opening is arranged higher than the overflow pipe opening, and the discharge pipe opening is located at the lowest part of the U type water seal. The upper water pipe opening is connected with the water supply pipe and is provided with a water inlet valve at the upper water pipe opening. The overflow pipe opening is provided with an overflow valve, and the discharge pipe opening is provided with a discharge valve. The U type water seal has many defects in the actual use of industrial production. First, the U type water seal generally uses industrial water as a cutting medium. When the water inlet valve is closed in winter at a temperature below zero, the industrial water in the water supply pipe does not flow. At this time, the industrial water in the water supply pipe is prone to freezing due to low temperature, causing the water supply pipe to crack and damage. Second, when the U type water seal needs to be filled with water, the overflow valve is opened. During the water filling process, the overflow pipe opening will continuously discharge industrial gas. If the discharged industrial gas is toxic and harmful gas, it is easy to pollute the working environment. In addition, when the U type water seal is cut off, i.e. from the state of cutting off industrial gas to the state of industrial gas flow, the discharge valve needs to be opened to discharge the industrial water in the U type water seal, so that the industrial gas can flow normally. However, when the industrial water is discharged to a low liquid level, the industrial water will be mixed with industrial gas. If the discharged industrial gas is toxic and harmful gas, it is easy to pollute the working environment. SUMMARY
[0003] The utility model discloses in order to solve the problem that the existing U type water seal has many defects mentioned above, and therefore provides a new anti-freezing U type water seal structure.

[0007] Further, the tail port of the U-shaped overflow water seal is also connected with a inverted U-shaped pipe to prevent industrial water from overflowing and spraying, and to facilitate the recovery of the overflowed industrial water.
[0008] The anti-freezing U-shaped water seal structure has the advantages that the ingenious addition of the water return pipeline solves the problem of low-temperature freezing of the water supply pipeline; the addition of the U-shaped overflow water seal and the water supply pipeline solves the problem of industrial gas discharge when the U-shaped water seal body is supplied with water; the addition of the drain valve solves the problem of industrial gas discharge when the U-shaped water seal body is discharged, and the structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is low.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, an antifreeze U-shaped water seal structure includes a U-shaped water seal body 8, a water supply pipe 10, a return water pipe 11, a U-shaped overflow water seal 9, and a vertically arranged replenishment water pipe 12. The U-shaped water seal body 8 is equipped with a water inlet, an overflow pipe, and a drain pipe. A water inlet valve 1 is installed at the water inlet, an overflow valve 4 is installed at the overflow pipe, and a main drain valve 5 is installed at the drain pipe. The upper ports of the return water pipe 11, the water supply pipe 10, the water inlet, and the replenishment water pipe 12 are connected through a four-way connector. The return water pipe 11 is arranged lower than the water supply pipe 10 and is equipped with a return water valve 2. The replenishment water pipe 12 is equipped with a replenishment water valve 3. The lower port, the overflow pipe, and the first port of the U-shaped overflow water seal 9 of the replenishment water pipe 12 are connected through a three-way connector. The bottom of the U-shaped overflow water seal 9 is equipped with an overflow drain port, an overflow drain valve 6 is provided at the overflow drain port, and a drain valve 7 is also provided at the drain port.
[0018] Working principle: when the industrial gas needs to be cut off, i.e. the water seal is used, the main purge valve 5, the overflow purge valve 6, the water supply valve 1 and the overflow valve 4 are closed, the water return valve 2 is reduced in opening degree, the industrial water flows in the water return pipeline 11, the water return pipeline 11 is prevented from freezing, the water supply valve 3 is opened, the U-shaped overflow water seal 9 is supplied with water, until the tail end port of the U-shaped overflow water seal 9 starts to overflow, the water supply valve 3 is closed, the water supply valve 1 and the overflow valve 4 are opened, and the U-shaped water seal body 8 is supplied with water. Since the U-shaped overflow water seal 9 is filled with industrial water, the industrial gas will not be discharged from the tail end port of the U-shaped overflow water seal 9 when the overflow valve 4 is opened, until the tail end port of the U-shaped overflow water seal 9 starts to overflow again, and the water seal is supplied with water; when the industrial gas needs to be connected, i.e. the water seal is cut off, the water supply valve 1 and the overflow valve 4 are closed, the main purge valve 5 is opened, and the industrial water in the U-shaped water seal body 8 is purged. Since the drain valve 7 exists, the industrial gas in the U-shaped water seal body 8 will not be discharged, and at the same time, the overflow purge valve 6 is opened, and the water in the U-shaped overflow water seal 9 is purged, so as to prevent the industrial water in the U-shaped overflow water seal 9 from freezing in a low temperature environment. At this time, the water return valve 2 is normally opened, the water in the water supply pipeline 10 and the water return pipeline 11 is communicated, and the industrial water in the water supply pipeline 10 is prevented from freezing in a low temperature environment.
[0019] In specific implementation, the tail end port of the U-shaped overflow water seal 9 is also communicated with a reversed U-shaped pipe 13, so as to avoid the industrial water from overflowing and spraying, and also facilitate the recovery of the overflowed industrial water.
