Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of condensate pump control equipment, specifically relating to an automatic condensate tank level adjustment device. Background Technology

[0002] During the operation of a refrigeration plant, the condensate pump plays a crucial role in transporting the condensate produced by the chillers to the boiler deaerator for recycling. Currently, the condensate pumps in the refrigeration plant operate in a one-on-one standby mode during normal operation.

[0003] However, the existing control method for condensate pumps has significant drawbacks. It only has a local switch, requiring operators to manually start and stop the pumps. Due to the layout of the refrigeration plant equipment, operators need to frequently climb stairs to perform these actions, greatly increasing their workload. Furthermore, the frequent climbing of stairs poses safety hazards such as slipping and falls, seriously threatening the personal safety of the operators.

[0004] Furthermore, manual control makes it difficult to precisely control the start and stop times of the condensate pump, resulting in excessively long pump operation times and unnecessary energy waste. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automatic condensate tank level adjustment device to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0021] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0022] Example 1, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, an automatic liquid level adjustment device for condensate tank includes a cylinder 1, which serves as a container for liquid level detection. The cylinder 1 contains condensate and is made of corrosion-resistant material. It has a stable structure and is suitable for the high temperature and high humidity environment of refrigeration stations.

[0023] A panel 4 is provided on the side wall of the cylinder 1. The panel 4 is provided with a scale 5 and a magnetic flip plate 6. The scale 5 marks the liquid level height, and the magnetic flip plate 6 flips through magnetic coupling to display the real-time liquid level, thereby improving the reliability of liquid level reading. The panel 4 is fixed to the side wall of the cylinder 1 and provides a liquid level visualization interface by supporting the scale 5 and the magnetic flip plate 6.

[0024] A magnetic sensor 7, which is a Hall element, is provided at one end of the magnetic flip plate 6. A slide groove 8 is provided on the side wall of the magnetic flip plate 6, and a guide rail 9 is provided on the inner wall of the slide groove 8. A magnetic induction switch 10 is provided inside the guide rail 9, and a sensing probe 11 is provided inside the magnetic induction switch 10. The magnetic induction switch 10 can slide along the guide rail 9 and be fixed at the set liquid level point. The sensing probe 11 detects the magnetic sensor 7 and triggers a control signal. The position of the magnetic induction switch 10 is adjustable to adapt to different liquid level control requirements.

[0025] A spring wire 12 extends from the outside of the magnetic induction switch 10 and connects to the controller 13. The spring wire 12 connects the magnetic induction switch 10 and the controller 13, transmitting a liquid level signal. The controller 13 controls the start and stop of the condensate pump based on the liquid level signal. The spring wire 12 is tensile-resistant and fatigue-resistant, preventing circuit breakage. The controller 13 realizes the start and stop control of the water pump.

[0026] The specific design of the aforementioned key components will be discussed in detail below:

[0027] The cylinder 1 is equipped with connecting flanges 2 at both the upper and lower ends, and connecting flanges 2 are connected to connecting pipes 3. DN50 standard flanges are welded to the upper and lower ends of the cylinder 1. The flange sealing surfaces are RF type raised faces, and matching metal spiral wound gaskets are used to ensure sealing. The connecting pipe 3 is a short stainless steel pipe, the length of which is customized according to the installation space. Both ends are connected to the cylinder 1 and external equipment through flanges. The diameter of the connecting pipe 3 is the same as the diameter of the cylinder 1.

[0028] The slide 8 is provided with positioning holes 14, and locking switches 15 are provided on the positioning holes 14. The number of locking switches 15 corresponds to the number of magnetic induction switches 10. The slide 8 is made of aluminum alloy profile, and the positioning holes 14 are opened at equal intervals along the length direction. The hole positions correspond to the liquid level value of scale 5. Preferably, there is one positioning hole 14 for every 10mm of liquid level height.

[0029] The locking switch 15 adopts a spring pin structure. After the pin is inserted into the positioning hole 14, it is locked by rotation to prevent the magnetic induction switch 10 from shifting under gravity. Each magnetic induction switch 10 is equipped with an independent locking switch 15, which allows for independent setting of high and low liquid level thresholds, such as an upper limit of 80% liquid level and a lower limit of 20% liquid level. The positioning hole 14 covers the entire range to adapt to different operating conditions.

[0030] The cylinder 1 is equipped with a magnetic levitation ball, which is a hollow stainless steel shell filled with epoxy resin-encapsulated neodymium iron boron permanent magnets. The diameter of the levitation ball matches the inner diameter of the cylinder 1. According to Archimedes' principle, the density of the levitation ball is lower than that of water, and the levitation ball rises and falls sensitively when the liquid level changes.

[0031] The magnetic flip plates 6 are numerous, and their positions correspond to the positions of scale 5. Each magnetic flip plate 6 is a segmented flip-up plate, with each plate mounted on the panel 4 via a rotating shaft. The shaft incorporates a miniature ball bearing to ensure flexible flipping. The mounting positions of the magnetic flip plates 6 are strictly aligned with the millimeter-level markings of scale 5, preferably with one magnetic flip plate 6 corresponding to every 10mm of liquid level height. When the magnetic flip plates 6 interact with the magnetic field of the magnetic levitation ball, they drive the flip plates to rotate 180°, displaying a red / white dual-color indicator. Red represents the filling section, and white represents the empty section, providing a direct indication of the liquid level.

[0032] There are two magnetic induction switches 10, and the number of spring wires 12 corresponds to the number of magnetic induction switches 10. The two magnetic induction switches 10 correspond to the high liquid level and low liquid level control points respectively, and are installed in the preset positioning holes 14 of the slide 8.

[0033] The magnetic induction switch 10 is a normally open reed switch with a sensing distance of 5mm. When the liquid level reaches the set position, the magnetic flap 6 flips, and the magnetic sensor 7 triggers the reed switch to close. The spring wire 12 is a spiral sheathed wire, and each spring wire 12 is individually connected to one magnetic induction switch 10 to the controller 13. The wire length can be stretched up to 1.5 meters to adapt to different installation distances. The controller 13 has a built-in dual-channel relay module. After receiving high / low liquid level signals, it outputs start / stop commands to the condensate pump motor.

The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields.
