TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to shale gas exploitation processing technical field especially relates to a shale gas output water steam boiler automatic water replenishing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, the heat relied on by the evaporation crystallization system of shale gas water treatment station is mainly provided by steam boiler. In the operation process of steam boiler, in order to maintain its stable working state, softened water must be continuously replenished. However, the current purification device of softened water and the starting and control of boiler softened water replenishing tank still rely on manual operation. This means that a staff needs to pay attention to the running condition of the boiler at all times, and manually starts the water replenishing device and opens the corresponding valve according to the actual situation to ensure the timely replenishment of softened water.

[0003] Although the automatic water replenishing device controlled by solenoid valve has appeared on the market, this device can improve the automation degree of the water replenishing process to a certain extent, but it faces a problem that cannot be ignored in actual application. That is, in the process of shale gas exploitation, due to the special magnetic environment of the local area, the solenoid valve may be interfered and fail. Once the solenoid valve fails, the steam boiler will not be able to obtain the required softened water replenishment in time, which will directly affect the output efficiency of shale gas, and even may cause immeasurable loss to the entire production process.

[0004] Therefore, how to ensure the stable operation of the steam boiler while effectively avoiding the problem of solenoid valve failure due to magnetic interference has become a big problem to be solved for the evaporation crystallization system of shale gas water treatment station.

[0007] Beneficial effects: double water supplement guarantee: the device realizes automatic water supplement through electromagnetic valve, and mechanical water supplement (through float, lever, gate valve or butterfly valve) is arranged, so that when the electromagnetic valve is disabled due to magnetic interference, the mechanical water supplement can be used as a backup solution, so that the steam boiler can continuously obtain softened water, and the output efficiency is avoided to be affected. Remote monitoring and control: the remote connection of the remote liquid level meter and the electromagnetic valve enables the operator to remotely monitor the liquid level of the softened water tank in real time, and remotely control the opening and closing of the electromagnetic valve according to the needs, thereby improving the convenience and safety of operation. The utility model discloses a float, a connecting rod, a lever and a valve cooperate to realize the opening or closing of the valve through the mechanical mode at the set liquid level, and the problem of delayed boiler water supplement caused by magnetic valve failure is avoided.

[0008] Further, the float is fixedly connected with the connecting rod, or the float is slidably connected with the connecting rod, and the connecting rod is provided with an upper limit plate and a lower limit plate for limiting the moving distance of the float. The fixed connection of the float and the connecting rod ensures the stability of water supplement, and the slidable connection allows the float to move up and down within a certain range. Through the setting of the upper limit plate and the lower limit plate, the target distance of the float moving up or down can be set, so that the float moves to the target height to drive the connecting rod to move up and down, and then triggers the butterfly valve or the gate valve, thereby meeting the needs of different working conditions.

[0009] Further, the water outlet is provided with a Y-shaped pipe, wherein a first branch pipe is a first passage, and a second branch pipe is a second passage. The design of the Y-shaped pipe makes the first passage and the second passage converge at the water outlet, so that the structure is compact, the pipeline connection points are reduced, the leakage risk is reduced, and the subsequent maintenance and repair work is also facilitated.

[0010] Further, the float is a plastic ball with a metal ball core inside: the plastic ball is light and corrosion-resistant, and the metal ball core inside increases the weight of the float, so that the float can respond to the water level change faster in water, and the sensitivity and reliability of the water supplement system are improved.

[0011] Further, the opening and closing of the gate valve or the butterfly valve includes an opening plate and a closing plate, and the opening plate and the closing plate are located on the movement track of the working end of the lever, so that the lever can accurately trigger the opening and closing of the gate valve or the butterfly valve when moving, and the problems of water supplement failure or excessive water supplement caused by inaccurate action are avoided.
