Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a drainage device for an air compressor used in a thermal simulation testing machine, belonging to the technical field of thermal simulation application equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The Gleeble thermal simulation testing machine is a physical property testing instrument used in the field of metal materials technology. It can dynamically simulate the heating and deformation process of metals, has relatively complete simulation functions, and has a wide range of applications. The thermal simulation testing machine mainly consists of a general unit, a hydraulic system, a water cooling system, and an air compressor. As an important component of the thermal simulation testing machine, the air compressor plays an irreplaceable role in the operation of the entire system.

[0003] An air compressor is a device that compresses gas; it's a pressure generator for compressed air, converting the mechanical energy of a prime mover into gas pressure energy. Inside the air compressor, air is compressed by the internal compressor after entering through the inlet, and the high-pressure gas then flows into an air tank for storage. When air is needed, it is released through the air compressor's exhaust port for use by other equipment. For example, in the operation of a thermal simulation testing machine, the air compressor acts as a pneumatic power source, driving the air hammer and providing power during the air blowing cooling process, ensuring the smooth operation of the equipment.

[0004] Prolonged continuous use places higher demands on the lifespan of air compressors, and regularly draining the air compressor is an important way to extend its service life. This is because water will condense in the air tank. If it is not drained, the water will corrode and weaken the air tank, causing the risk of air tank rupture. Moreover, if water enters the equipment, it will affect the equipment's functionality and reduce its lifespan. Therefore, it is necessary to drain the air tank. If the air compressor is used continuously, it should be drained at least once a day. The air compressor originally equipped with the thermal simulation testing machine is a vertical air compressor, which is relatively large. The drainage device is located at the bottom of the air compressor. When draining, it requires several people to lift the air compressor so that the operator can open the drain valve, or the operator has to lie flat on the ground and reach into the bottom to find the drain valve. The whole process is time-consuming, laborious, and difficult to operate, which greatly affects the testing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a drainage device for an air compressor used in a thermal simulation testing machine. By adopting a valve body, the air compressor can be automatically drained, while reducing a lot of labor, saving a lot of time and maintenance costs, greatly improving testing efficiency, extending the service life of the air compressor and the thermal simulation testing machine, and solving the above-mentioned problems in the background art.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is: a drainage device for an air compressor used in a thermal simulation testing machine, comprising a drain pipe, a valve body, a nozzle, a solenoid valve, and a timer. One end of the drain pipe is connected to the air compressor drain port, and the other end is connected to the valve body. The valve body is a split type, consisting of a pipeline valve body and a base valve body. The pipeline valve body has a valve body inlet, a drain port, and an intermediate connection port. The valve body inlet is connected to the drain pipe via an adapter. The drain port is located at the bottom of the pipeline valve body. The intermediate connection port is connected to one end of the base valve body, and the other end of the base valve body has a valve body drain port, which is connected to the nozzle. The solenoid valve is located above the base valve body, and the timer is located in front of the solenoid valve.

[0007] The drain pipe is made of stainless steel, and its length extends beyond the air compressor housing. Its diameter matches the diameter of the air compressor's drain outlet.

[0008] The valve body is made of brass, and the drain outlet is equipped with a cap.

[0009] A manual switch is provided between the water inlet and the drain outlet of the valve body.
