[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application (for ease of description and understanding, hereinafter referred to as...), Figure 1 (The above is described above). All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0019] Please see Figures 1-2 This application provides a technical solution for an online spray gun replacement device: an online spray gun replacement device includes a sealing valve 1, a spray gun outer tube 2, a sealing element 3, and a spray gun 4. The spray gun 4 is provided with a nozzle 5 at its end, and the spray gun 4 is equipped with a spray gun outer tube 2. A sealing element 3 is provided at the upper end of the spray gun outer tube 2 to seal the gap between the spray gun and the spray gun outer tube. The sealing valve is used to seal the process pipeline after the spray gun is removed to prevent media leakage. The lower flange of the spray gun outer tube 2 is connected to the upper flange of the sealing valve 1 by bolts, and the spray gun 4 can move up and down within the spray gun outer tube 2 and the sealing valve 1.
[0020] Specifically, the upper end of the spray gun 4 is connected to an external metal hose 12. Through the setting of the metal hose 12, the spray gun 4 can be supplied with a medium, thereby filling or cleaning the pipeline 1.
[0021] When the spray gun 4 is working, the medium enters the spray gun 4 through the metal hose 12 and is then sprayed out from the nozzle of the spray gun 4 to add or clean the substance in the pipeline 1.
[0022] Specifically, seal 3 has a self-sealing function, which can effectively prevent media leakage and ensure the safety of the operation process.
[0023] Specifically, the sealing valve 1 is a ball valve structure that can be quickly closed during spray gun replacement to isolate pressure and ensure the safety of operators. In addition, the spray gun 4 can pass through the valve core of the sealing valve 1 and thus extend into the pipeline 1.
[0024] Furthermore, a pressure relief valve is provided on the outside of the valve body of sealing valve 1, and the pressure relief valve is located at the upper part of sealing valve 1.
[0025] Specifically, the pressure relief valve releases pressure within the spray gun outer sleeve 2 when the sealing valve 1 is closed, ensuring safety during spray gun 4 replacement. This design effectively prevents safety risks caused by excessive pressure, enhancing the overall safety of system maintenance.
[0026] A telescopic component 6 is provided at the upper part of the spray gun 4. The telescopic component 6 includes an upper force-applying structural plate 7, a lower force-bearing structural plate 8, a lead screw 9, and a handwheel 10. The upper force-applying structural plate 7 is fixed to the upper part of the spray gun 4. A lead screw 9 with a handwheel 10 is rotatably connected to the upper force-applying structural plate 7. The lower force-bearing structural plate 8 is fixed to the upper part of the spray gun outer sleeve 2. The outer side of the lead screw 9 is connected to the lower force-bearing structural plate 8 through a lead screw nut.
[0027] Specifically, the lead screw 9 is equipped with two stroke markers so that the operator can confirm whether the nozzle 5 of the spray gun 4 has reached the center position of the process pipeline or whether it has retracted to the position above the valve core of the sealing valve 1.
[0028] Specifically, the lower load-bearing structural plate 8 is located above the spray gun outer sleeve 2 and is fixed with a nut. Since the lower load-bearing structural plate 8 is fixed, it provides stable support. The upper load-applying structural plate 7 is movable relative to the lower load-bearing structural plate 8. Therefore, when the operator turns the handwheel 10, the handwheel 10 drives the lead screw 9 to rotate. Because the lead screw 9 is connected to the lower load-bearing structural plate 8 via a lead screw nut, and the lower load-bearing structural plate 8 is fixed to the spray gun outer sleeve 2, the rotation of the lead screw 9 will drive the upper load-applying structural plate 7 to move the spray gun 4 up and down, thereby achieving quick replacement of the spray gun 4. This design simplifies the maintenance process, improves operational convenience, and maintains the system's stability and sealing performance.
[0029] Furthermore, the upper end of the spray gun 4 is stepped, with the stepped end penetrating the upper force-applying structure plate 7 and cooperating with a nut to fix the spray gun 4 onto the upper force-applying structure plate 7.
[0030] Specifically, the stepped end of the spray gun 4 penetrates the upper force-applying structure plate 7, and the position where the stepped end extends out of the upper force-applying structure plate 7 is provided with threads, so as to fix the spray gun 4 on the upper force-applying structure plate 7 with the help of nuts.
[0031] Furthermore, at least one guide shaft 11 is provided between the upper force-applying structural plate 7 and the lower force-receiving structural plate 8. The upper end of the guide shaft 11 is fixed on the upper force-applying structural plate 7, and the lower force-receiving structural plate 8 has a guide hole corresponding to the guide shaft 11. The lower end of the guide shaft 11 is inserted into the guide hole of the lower force-receiving structural plate 8.
[0032] Specifically, there are two guide shafts 11. The upper end of the guide shaft 11 is stepped, and the shaft surface of the stepped end is threaded. The stepped end of the guide shaft 11 passes through the upper force-applying structure plate 7 and is fixed with a nut. The guide hole of the lower force-applying structure plate 8 allows the guide shaft 11 to move only axially, restricting its radial movement. This ensures that the spray gun 5 does not shake during the up-and-down movement, thus ensuring the stability of the spray gun movement.
[0033] Furthermore, the upper force-applying structural plate 7 and the lower force-receiving structural plate 8 have the same shape, both being triangular, with the lead screw 9 located at the apex of the triangle and the two guide shafts 11 located on both sides of the base of the triangle.
[0034] Furthermore, the upper end of the handwheel 10 is rotatably connected to a handle for easy operation, and the handle is equipped with an anti-slip sleeve to prevent slippage during operation.
[0035] When in use: When the spray gun 4 needs to be replaced or maintained, the operator turns the handwheel 10 to drive the screw 9 to rotate. Since the screw 9 is connected to the lower load-bearing structure plate 8 through the screw nut, the rotation of the screw 9 will drive the upper load-bearing structure plate 7, the spray gun 4 and the guide shaft 11 to move upward as a whole. When the screw 9 moves to the marked position above the valve core, close the sealing valve 1, open the pressure relief valve, and release the medium in the spray gun outer tube 2. After the release is completed, close the pressure relief valve, disconnect the metal hose 12 from the spray gun 4, remove the connecting bolts between the sealing valve 1 and the spray gun outer tube 2, and remove the spray gun 4, the spray gun outer tube 2 and the telescopic component 6 as a whole. After cleaning or replacing the nozzle, reassemble.
[0036] When installing the spray gun 4, first fasten the spray gun outer tube 2 to the sealing valve 1, and connect the metal hose 12 to the spray gun 4. Then open the sealing valve 1, and drive the upper force-applying structure plate 7, the spray gun 4 and the guide shaft 11 to move downward as a whole by rotating the handwheel 10 in the opposite direction. When the screw 9 moves to the center mark position of the pipeline, the installation is completed.
[0037] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
