[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 2-4 As shown, this utility model provides a novel steam pipeline buffer device, installed in the pump casing pipe 1 between the vacuum pump and the condenser 2. The pump casing pipe 1 includes an inclined section and a horizontal section located at the bottom of the inclined section. The buffer device includes several buffer pads 4 laid on the bottom plate 3 of the horizontal section. The upper surface of the buffer pads 4 is inclined. The steam ejected by the vacuum pump can be ejected onto the inclined surface of the buffer pads 4 after passing through the inclined section of the pump casing pipe 1. The steam flow is reflected on the inclined surface and then enters the condenser 2 for condensation. The inclined surface is used to reduce the incident angle of the steam flow and reduce the scouring of the bottom plate 3 of the pipe.

[0031] Furthermore, when the buffer pad 4 is installed on the pipe base plate 3, the apex of the inclined surface faces the side where the condenser 2 is located.

[0032] Furthermore, several of the buffer pads 4 on the bottom plate 3 of the pipe are arranged in a matrix-like close arrangement.

[0033] Furthermore, the buffer pad 4 has a length of 250mm and a width of 200mm.

[0034] Preferably, for the pump casing pipe 1 with a diameter of 1.2m, 3*3 buffer pads 4 are tightly installed in a matrix on the pipe base plate 3, forming a buffer floor with a length of 750mm and a width of 600mm.

[0035] Further, the slope angle of the slope of the buffer pad 4 is 15-25°; the included angle between the inclined direction of the inclined section (i.e. the steam flow direction in the pump shell pipeline 1) and the slope of the buffer pad 4 is 115-125°.

[0036] Further, the buffer pad 4 is detachably installed on the pipeline bottom plate 3 through bolts, and is convenient to disassemble and assemble.

[0037] Further, the buffer pad 4 is provided with a bolt mounting portion on the side surface, the bolt mounting portion is provided with a mounting hole capable of mounting the bolt, the pipeline bottom plate 3 is provided with a threaded hole for mounting the bolt, and the buffer pad 4 can be installed on the pipeline bottom plate 3 through cooperation of the mounting hole and the threaded hole through the bolt.

[0038] Further, the pump shell pipeline 1 is a cylindrical pipeline, and the bottom surface of the buffer pad 4 is an arc surface matched with the inner wall of the pump shell pipeline 1.

[0039] Further, the buffer device can be arranged according to the position on the pipeline bottom plate 3 which is easily subjected to steam flow scouring and gas leakage found in the use of the vacuum pump.

[0040] For the vacuum pump without the buffer device, steam in the vacuum pump is sprayed from top to bottom along the inclined section of the pump shell pipeline 1 (from the upper left to the lower right), Figure 1 and directly scours the pipeline bottom plate 3 and enters the condenser 2 tank for water mist cooling after reflection; Figure 1 ABDE represent different steam flow intensities in the inclined section of the pump shell pipeline 1, wherein the steam flow at the C position (i.e. the pipeline center) is the most intense, which is usually called the main flow, and the other ABDE are auxiliary flows. Since the incident angle of the steam flow sprayed on the pipeline bottom plate 3 is relatively large, according to the order of the ABCDE steam flow, the reflection of the previous part of the steam on the pipeline bottom plate 3 will affect the reflection of the subsequent steam, and since the main flow has the largest flow intensity, the steam impact intensity on the side of the pipeline bottom plate 3 close to the condenser 2 (the positions corresponding to the reflected flows G and H in the Figure 1 ) is larger, and it is more likely to be leaked, resulting in gas leakage;

[0041] When the several buffer pads 4 are laid on the pipeline bottom plate 3, the auxiliary flow steam A is sprayed on the inclined surface of the buffer pad 4, and the incidence angle is reduced, so that the steam rebound height is higher, the steam direction of the auxiliary flow B is changed after the F point is hit, and the steam is rebounded to the G position after impacting the buffer pad downward, the main flow steam C is hit, the main flow steam C is changed in direction and reflected to the H point at the buffer pad, so that the steam ejection angle and height are increased through the buffer pad 4, so that the steam scouring of the pipeline bottom plate 3 is relieved to the greatest extent, which is equivalent to adding a buffer air cushion on the pipeline bottom plate 3, and the pipeline bottom plate 3 is better protected, and meanwhile, the multiple buffer pads 4 are separately installed, so that the replacement is more convenient and fast.

[0042] The buffer device is installed at the inflection point of the vacuum pump pipeline, so that the steam scouring can be reflected through the buffer pad to relieve the scouring intensity, so that the pipeline is more wear-resistant, and through comparison of the service life of the pump shell pipeline of the vacuum pump without the buffer device and the vacuum pump with the buffer device, the service life of the pump shell pipeline of the vacuum pump without the buffer device is usually about half a year, and the service life of the pump shell pipeline of the vacuum pump with the buffer device can be more than one year, and the protection effect of the pipeline is remarkable.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, and not to limit them; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples, or make equivalent replacement to part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the utility model embodiments.
