Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air purification technology, and in particular relates to a leakage alarm device for compressed air. Background Technology
[0002] The blast furnace blower's suction chamber purifies the intake oxygen-containing air through multiple sets of internal air filters to ensure the blower's safe and stable operation. After long-term use, a large amount of dust and foreign matter will accumulate on the surface of the air filters, requiring back-blowing cleaning using compressed air controlled by a pulse solenoid valve. Each suction chamber is equipped with dozens of air filters, each with a pulse solenoid valve. According to the interval set by the controller, all air filters are sequentially and cyclically purged to ensure the long-term operation of the air filters.
[0003] After prolonged use, pulse solenoid valves may experience diaphragm damage and sealing issues, leading to continuous leakage of large amounts of compressed air. If compressed air leaks are not detected in time, it will result in significant energy waste. Therefore, designing a device capable of detecting and alarming leaks is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a compressed air leakage alarm device. It detects whether there is compressed air flowing in the compressed air main pipe through a flow switch and uses the delay function of a time delay relay to exclude normal air use when the pulse solenoid valve is energized. When a compressed air leak occurs, the device can quickly identify the leak within a delay time and issue an audible and visual alarm. The device has a simple circuit, is easy to install, and is easy to popularize and promote.

[0010] The flow switch is installed on the end pipe of the tee away from the upper and lower pipe ports, and the time delay relay and the audible and visual alarm are electrically connected to the flow switch in sequence.
[0011] Furthermore, the upper sleeve and the lower tee are provided with inner steps on the inner side of the end near the upper pipe opening and the lower pipe opening, respectively, and the end faces of the upper pipe opening and the lower pipe opening are in contact with the inner steps of the upper sleeve and the lower tee.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model is a leakage alarm device for compressed air, including a main pipe, a connecting mechanism, a flow switch 1, a time delay relay 2, and an audible and visual alarm 3;
[0027] The main pipe is equipped with a cut-off section, at which the main pipe forms an upper pipe opening 4 and a lower pipe opening 5;
[0028] The connecting mechanism includes a lower tee 6, an upper sleeve 7, and an outer fixed pipe 8;
[0029] The lower tee 6 is fixed to the end of the lower pipe opening 5, the upper sleeve 7 is fixed to the end of the upper pipe opening 4, and a telescopic hose 9 is fixed on the inner side between the upper sleeve 7 and the lower tee 6. The outer fixed pipe 8 is fixed on the outer side between the upper sleeve 7 and the lower tee 6 and is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic hose 9.
[0030] The flow switch 1 is installed on the end pipe of the tee away from the upper pipe port 4 and the lower pipe port 5. The time delay relay 2 and the audible and visual alarm 3 are electrically connected to the flow switch 1 in sequence.
[0031] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the inner side of the upper sleeve 7 and the lower tee 6 near the upper pipe opening 4 and the lower pipe opening 5 is provided with an inner step 601, and the end faces of the upper pipe opening 4 and the lower pipe opening 5 are in contact with the inner step 601 of the upper sleeve 7 and the lower tee 6, respectively.
[0032] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a DC power supply 10, which is electrically connected between the flow switch 1 and the audible and visual alarm 3.
[0033] Among them, such as Figure 1As shown, the inner side of the opposite end of the upper sleeve 7 and the lower tee 6 is provided with an inner inlet, and the end of the telescopic hose 9 is fixed in the inner inlet.
[0034] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the inner diameter of the outer fixed pipe 8 is the same as the outer diameter of the upper sleeve 7 and the lower tee 6 near the end of the upper sleeve 7.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When compressed air flows, the normally open contact of flow switch 1 closes, the coil of time delay relay 2 is energized, and the timing begins. During normal use, the pulse solenoid valve is energized for 1 second to purge air, and after 1 second, the pulse solenoid valve is de-energized and closes, and there is no compressed air flowing through the main compressed air pipe. The normally open contact of flow switch 1 is reset and opened. When compressed air leakage occurs, flow switch 1 will continuously detect compressed air flow, the normally open contact of flow switch 1 will remain closed, the coil of time delay relay 2 will remain energized, and the energization time of the coil of time delay relay 2 will be greater than the set delay time of 5 seconds, triggering the normally open contact of time delay relay 2 to close, thereby triggering the audible and visual alarm 3 to be energized and emitting an audible and visual alarm.
