[0027] Vacuum distribution pipe 3 is connected with water supply pump through vacuum branch to realize water diversion, which specifically shows that: the vacuum branch includes a water diversion branch pipe connected with vacuum distribution pipe 3, the other end of the water diversion branch pipe is connected with vacuum water diversion controller 1, the vacuum water diversion controller 1 is connected with water supply pump, electromagnetic valve 2 is arranged on the water diversion branch pipe, the vacuum water diversion controller 1 is used to monitor whether the branch pipe is successfully diverted, and the water diversion is successful when the water diversion reaches the vacuum water diversion controller 1. When the water diversion is successful, the electromagnetic valve 2 closes the passage of the branch pipe. The water diversion branch pipe can be provided with multiple ones according to the needs, and works independently, when one of the water diversion branch pipes fails, the water diversion branch pipe is disconnected, and other water diversion branch pipes are used for water diversion work.

[0028] The pressure switch 6 is installed on the suction pipe 5 to control the start and stop of the vacuum pump 9, so that the vacuum degree in the vacuum tank 4 is maintained within the set value range.

[0029] The vacuum pump 9 adopts water ring type vacuum pump, one for use and one for standby, which is compact in structure, stable in work and long in service life, effectively ensuring reliable operation of the equipment; the manual valve 7 and the vacuum check valve 8 are arranged on the suction pipe of the vacuum pump, the manual valve 7 is used to shut off the vacuum pump for maintenance, and the vacuum check valve 8 only allows the gas in the vacuum tank 4 to flow to the vacuum pump, preventing the vacuum pump working liquid and air from flowing back to the vacuum system when the vacuum pump 9 stops running or is accidentally powered off.

[0034] Working principle of the utility model:

[0035] Before starting for the first time, about 1 / 3 of clean water is injected into the gas-water separator 12, then the start button of the control cabinet 14 is pressed, the vacuum pump 9 starts to work, the gas is extracted from the vacuum tank 4 and discharged into the gas-water separator 12, the water entrained in the exhaust gas is separated in the gas-water separator 12, and the gas is discharged to the atmosphere through the exhaust valve; with the lapse of time, the pressure in the vacuum tank 4 gradually decreases, the water in the water pump and the water branch gradually fills, when the liquid level reaches the set liquid level of the vacuum water supply controller 1, a signal is sent to the PCL in the control cabinet 14, the electromagnetic valve of the vacuum water supply controller is turned off, the vacuum pump 9 continues to work, the pressure in the vacuum tank 4 continues to decrease, until the lower limit of the set value of the pressure switch 6 is reached, the vacuum pump 9 stops working, and the vacuum tank 4 maintains the set negative pressure; when the vacuum water supply controller 1 detects that the water branch is not filled to the set liquid level, the electromagnetic valve of the water branch is opened, the vacuum degree of the water branch pipeline decreases, the water pump and the water branch are filled with water again, and then the electromagnetic valve is turned off; when the pressure in the vacuum tank 4 decreases to the upper limit of the set pressure of the pressure switch 6, the vacuum pump 9 starts to work, the pressure in the vacuum tank 4 decreases, until the lower limit of the pressure is reached, and the vacuum pump 9 automatically stops working; in this way, the front water branch and the main pump are always filled with water, the water pump cavitation is prevented, and the working efficiency of the main pump is improved.
