DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0036] The utility model will be described in further detail below in combination with the drawings and examples.
[0037] As Figures 1 to 7As shown, the embodiment discloses a water supply device for steam generator, which comprises a water storage bucket 1 for storing pure water and a water outlet pipe 2 arranged at the bottom of the water storage bucket 1. The bottom of the water storage bucket 1 is provided with a support 23, so that the water storage bucket 1 can be stably installed on the ground. The end of the water outlet pipe 2 is connected to the water inlet end 8 of the steam generator 7, so that it can provide a stable water source for the steam generator 7. The water outlet pipe 2 is sequentially provided with a multi-stage pump 3, an adjusting valve 4 and a flow meter 5. The flow meter 5 is coupled with a controller 6, which is preferably a single-chip microcomputer or a PLC. The adjusting valve 4 is coupled with and controlled by the controller 6. In this embodiment, the multi-stage pump 3 is used to provide power to the water outlet pipe 2 to extract pure water in the water storage bucket 1. The flow meter 5 is used to monitor the water flow of the water outlet pipe 2 and send the measured water flow to the controller 6. The controller 6 is pre-set with a flow threshold value. When the water flow received by the controller 6 is greater than the flow threshold value, the controller 6 controls the adjusting valve 4 to reduce the opening degree, so as to reduce the actual water flow in the water outlet pipe 2. Conversely, when the water flow received by the controller 6 is less than the flow threshold value, the controller 6 controls the adjusting valve 4 to increase the opening degree, so as to increase the actual water flow in the water outlet pipe 2, so that the water flow of the water outlet pipe 2 is balanced.
[0038] In order to facilitate the addition of pure water to the water storage bucket 1, the water storage bucket 1 is also provided with a water inlet pipe 9, the other end of which is connected to an external water source (not shown). The water inlet pipe 9 is located near the top of the water storage bucket 1 to improve the upper limit of the water level of the water storage bucket 1.
[0039] In order to avoid the negative pressure or excessive positive pressure of the water storage bucket 1, a square air vent 10 is opened at the top of the water storage bucket 1. Four air filter cartridges 11 are arranged around the air vent 10. The space formed by the four air filter cartridges 11 is covered with a square cover 12.
[0040] In order to facilitate the replacement of the air filter cartridges 11 and ensure the stability after installation, vertical support rods 13 are arranged above the air vent 10 at the four corner positions. The outer edges of the air filter cartridges 11 are covered with hard edges 14 made of plastic or metal. The opposite surfaces of the adjacent support rods 13 are provided with sliding clamping grooves 15 along the length direction of the support rods 13, respectively, for sliding clamping of the hard edges 14 on both sides of the air filter cartridges 11. The upper end of the sliding clamping groove 15 extends to the upper end of the support rod 13 to form an opening for the hard edges 14 to slide into or out of the sliding clamping groove 15. A sealing groove 16 is arranged between two opposite sliding clamping grooves 15 at the top of the water storage bucket 1 for clamping the lower end of the hard edges 14. It can effectively improve the sealing between the lower end of the air filter cartridges 11 and the top of the water storage bucket 1, thereby improving the dust removal effect of the air filter cartridges 11.
[0041] In order to lock the installed air filter 11, the four corners of the cover 12 are fixed on the top of the four supporting rods 13 by screws 17 respectively to prevent the hard edge 14 of the air filter 11 from slipping out of the sliding slot 15.
[0042] In order to reduce the impact of dust on the air filter 11, the edge of the cover 12 is extended outward with a dust plate 18 corresponding to the position of the four air filters 11. The dust plate 18 extends with a movable pivot seat 19 near one side of the cover 12, and the outer edge of the cover 12 is provided with a fixed pivot seat 20 at both ends, and the two ends of the movable pivot seat 19 are extended outward with a pivot shaft 21, and the opposite faces of the two fixed pivot seats 20 are provided with pivot holes 22 for the two pivot shafts 21 to rotate and insert respectively, and the pivot shaft 21 and the pivot hole 22 are interference fit to make the static friction between them greater than the torsional force generated by the weight of the dust plate 18.
[0043] The specific working principle is as follows:
[0044] When the water supply device is running, the multi-stage pump 3 is started first to extract pure water in the water storage bucket 1 through the outlet pipe 2 and supply the inlet end 8 of the steam generator 7. In this process, the flow meter 5 can monitor the actual water flow of the outlet pipe 2 and send the data corresponding to the water flow to the controller 6, and the controller 6 can compare the received water flow data with the built-in flow threshold value. If the received water flow value is greater than the flow threshold value, the controller 6 controls the adjusting valve 4 to reduce the opening to reduce the actual water flow in the outlet pipe 2; on the contrary, when the received water flow value is less than the flow threshold value, the controller 6 controls the adjusting valve 4 to increase the opening to increase the actual water flow in the outlet pipe 2, so that the outlet flow of the outlet pipe 2 remains stable, thereby realizing stable water supply of the steam generator 7.
[0045] When the pure water in the water storage bucket 1 is insufficient, the staff can add water to the water storage bucket 1 through an external water source (not shown) and the inlet pipe 9, thereby ensuring the endurance of the water storage bucket 1.
[0046] The water storage bucket 1 can use the air vent 10 to ensure the air pressure balance in the water storage bucket 1 during the process of adding water and discharging water. When the internal part of the water storage bucket 1 appears negative pressure due to discharging water or low temperature, external air can enter the air vent 10 in time. In the process of entering, the air filter 11 can effectively filter out impurities in the air, thereby avoiding the pollution of the pure water in the water storage bucket 1.
[0047] In order to reduce the dust pollution on the surface of the air filter 11 to prolong its service life, the dust baffle 18 is turned up around the pivot shaft 21 and adjusted to the appropriate position to block part of the falling dust. In order to facilitate the turning of the dust baffle 18, a holding piece 24 is arranged on the outer side of the dust baffle 18 to make it easier for the staff to force when opening the dust baffle 18. In order to be able to adjust the opening of the air filter 11, the staff can turn the dust baffle 18 to a specific angle according to the needs and make it hover at the angle position.
[0048] When the water storage bucket 1 needs to be idle for a long time, the dust baffle 18 is turned down to completely cover the surface of the air filter 11, which can prevent external dust from adhering to the surface of the air filter 11, thereby prolonging the service life of the air filter 11.
[0049] When the air filter 11 needs to be replaced, the four screws 17 on the cover 12 are unscrewed to unlock the cover 12. Then, the cover 12 is removed to unlock the air filter 11 in the longitudinal direction, so that the air filter 11 can be pulled out from between the two adjacent support rods 13. After the air filter 11 is pulled out, the hard edges 14 on both sides of the new air filter 11 are respectively slid and clamped in the two opposite sliding clamping grooves 15 of the two support rods 13, and the lower end of the hard edge 14 is pressed through the air filter 11 into the sealing clamping groove 16 between the two sliding clamping grooves 15, thereby completing the installation of the air filter 11. After all the air filters 11 are installed, the cover 12 is reattached to the top of the four support rods 13, and the screws 17 are used to lock the cover 12, thereby preventing the air filter 11 from being separated from the sliding clamping groove 15.
