[0028] The present application provides a kind of bimetallic steam trap's heat insulating device, for reducing the risk of personnel scalding due to surface temperature of bimetallic steam trap being too high while maintaining normal operation of bimetallic steam trap.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1As shown, the heat insulation device of the bimetallic steam trap in the embodiment comprises a heat insulation plate 1 and a fixing member 2. The heat insulation plate 1 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation through holes 11. The heat insulation plate 1 is arranged on the outer surface of the bimetallic steam trap 3 and is fixed by the fixing member 2.

[0030] Specifically, the heat insulation plate 1 can be arranged on the outer surface of the bimetallic steam trap 3 and fully wrap around the bimetallic steam trap 3 to avoid direct contact of the staff with the high-temperature surface of the bimetallic steam trap 3, thereby reducing the risk of staff being scalded. In another implementation manner, the heat insulation plate 1 can only wrap around the surfaces of the bimetallic steam trap 3 that are easy to be touched by the staff. For example, since the bottom plane of the bimetallic steam trap 3 is close to the ground, the staff rarely directly contacts the bottom plane during normal operation, and thus the heat insulation plate 1 can be used to wrap around the top plane, the left plane and the right plane of the bimetallic steam trap 3 that are easy to be touched by the staff. The heat insulation plate 1 is fixed on the outer surface of the bimetallic steam trap 3 by the fixing member 2, and can be fixed in a detachable manner to facilitate the maintenance or replacement of the bimetallic steam trap 3. The heat insulation plate 1 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation through holes 11, and the heat on the surface of the bimetallic steam trap 3 can be dissipated through the heat dissipation through holes 11, so that the temperature sensing property of the bimetallic steam trap 3 can be continuously realized. Thus, the bimetallic steam trap 3 can continuously operate by using the temperature sensing property while being insulated by the heat insulation plate 1 and being dissipated by the heat dissipation through holes 11.

[0031] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the plurality of heat dissipation through holes 11 in the embodiment are equidistantly arranged on the heat insulation plate 1. Specifically, the heat dissipation through holes 11 can be equidistantly arranged to make each part of the bimetallic steam trap 3 have equal heat dissipation opportunities, thereby improving the heat dissipation uniformity of the bimetallic steam trap 3. In addition, the hole diameters of the plurality of heat dissipation through holes 11 can be all the same and the hole diameter can be 6 mm to further improve the heat dissipation uniformity of the bimetallic steam trap 3.

[0032] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fixing member 2 in the embodiment comprises at least two metal binding straps 2, and the two metal binding straps 2 are arranged at the symmetrical two ends of the heat insulation plate 1 to fix the heat insulation plate 1 on the outer surface of the bimetallic steam trap 3.

The metal binding belt has good heat resistance and fastening property, and is suitable for use in high temperature environment, so the metal binding belt can be used to fix the heat insulation plate 1 in the embodiment. The material of the metal binding belt 2 can be 304 stainless steel or 316 stainless steel, which is not limited here. Two or more metal binding belts 2 can be used to fix the heat insulation plate 1 at the same time to improve the stability of the heat insulation plate 1, for example, one metal binding belt 2 is arranged at each end of the heat insulation plate 1 near the bimetallic steam trap 3 to fix the heat insulation plate 1.

[0034] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the metal binding belt 2 in the embodiment includes a fixed end 21 and a stretching end 22. The fixed end 21 is attached to the outer surface of the heat insulation plate 1. The stretching end 22 is connected to the fixed end 21 after wrapping around the outer surface of the heat insulation plate 1.

[0035] Specifically, the fastening degree of the metal binding belt 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the stretching end 22 extending into the fixed end 21. The stretching end 22 can be attached to the outer surface of the heat insulation plate 1 and then extended into the fixed end 21 after wrapping around the outer surface of the heat insulation plate 1. By adjusting the length of the stretching end 22 extending into the fixed end 21, the fastening degree of the heat insulation plate 1 and the bimetallic steam trap 3 can be adjusted to achieve the fixation of the heat insulation plate 1. In another implementation, the stretching end 22 can also be connected to the fixed end 21 after sequentially passing through any hole at the head end and any hole at the tail end of the heat insulation plate 1. By adjusting the length of the stretching end 22 extending into the fixed end 21, the head end and the tail end of the heat insulation plate 1 can be contracted to reduce the movement space between the heat insulation plate 1 and the bimetallic steam trap 3, thereby achieving the fixation of the heat insulation plate 1.

[0036] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the heat insulation plate 1 in the embodiment is curved in a circular arc shape with a radius of 110 mm.

[0037] Specifically, the shape of the heat insulation plate 1 can be set as a curved circular arc shape to match the shape of the bimetallic steam trap 3 and the pipeline connected to the bimetallic steam trap 3. The radius of the circular arc of the heat insulation plate 1 can be determined according to the actual size of the bimetallic steam trap 3, for example, the radius of the circular arc of the heat insulation plate 1 in the embodiment is 110 mm, which is not limited here.

[0038] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the heat insulation plate 1 in the embodiment is a flexible member, and the shape of the heat insulation plate 1 is adjusted by cooperation of the heat insulation plate 1 and the fixing member 2 to adapt to the bimetallic steam trap 3.

[0039] Specifically, the flexible member with variable shape can be selected as the heat insulation plate 1, which is easy to deform under external force. In the embodiment, the shape of the heat insulation plate 1 is adjusted by cooperation of the heat insulation plate 1 and the fixing member 2 to match the outer surface of the bimetallic steam trap 3, so as to improve the versatility of the heat insulation plate 1, which can be applied to bimetallic steam traps 3 of different sizes or different working conditions.

[0040] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the heat insulation plate 1 in the embodiment is an aluminum plate.

[0041] Specifically, since the aluminum material has small density, light weight, good ductility, plasticity and thermal conductivity, it can be used as the manufacturing material of the heat insulation plate 1. The aluminum material is a composite material composed of aluminum elements and other alloy elements, which can be divided into 1xxx series pure aluminum alloy, 2xxx series aluminum copper alloy, 3xxx series aluminum manganese alloy and 4xxx series aluminum silicon alloy according to different alloy components. In the embodiment, the heat insulation plate 1 can adopt a plate made of pure aluminum alloy or a plate made of aluminum copper alloy, and the specific aluminum material used is not limited here. In addition, the size of the heat insulation plate 1 can be: length 470mm, width 400mm and thickness 1mm.
