Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ball-collecting net technology, and specifically relates to an anti-clogging conical ball-collecting net with online self-cleaning function. Background Technology
[0002] In current industrial applications, rubber ball cleaning devices are widely used to clean various surfaces, especially in generator sets, to clean the fouling inside the condenser to improve heat exchange efficiency. These devices typically include a conical (funnel-shaped) ball collecting net to recover the rubber balls after cleaning.
[0003] However, existing ball cleaning devices have several significant drawbacks. First, they often fail to effectively recover balls when water quality is poor or the circulating water flow rate is abnormal (too high or too low). In such cases, the balls may be trapped in the ball-collecting net instead of being properly recovered, thus affecting cleaning efficiency. Second, existing ball-collecting nets lack online self-cleaning capabilities, meaning that manual cleaning is required when the net is heavily soiled. This not only reduces operational efficiency but may also lead to unplanned generator shutdowns in emergencies. Furthermore, due to the large contact area between the conical ball-collecting net and the circulating water, vortices are easily generated at the bottom ball outlet, causing poor ball discharge, especially when a large number of balls are being recovered simultaneously, making blockages more likely.
[0004] To address these issues, some existing patent documents attempt to alleviate blockage by partially opening the mesh plate. However, these methods do not fundamentally solve the problem and may be ineffective in some cases, leading to severe blockage, cracking, or deformation of the mesh plate, which in turn affects the normal operation of the entire device.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a clog-resistant conical ball catcher with online self-cleaning function, which can realize online self-cleaning, automatic sewage discharge, anti-clogging of the ball outlet, and anti-jamming of the transmission assembly, so as to improve cleaning efficiency, reduce manual intervention, and ensure stable operation of the device under complex working conditions.
