Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of condensate collection technology, specifically to a collector that prevents condensate from accumulating and flowing back. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial equipment such as heat exchangers, reactors, and steam pipelines, if condensate accumulates during use, it may cause backflow in the ductwork, thereby damaging the exhaust equipment. Therefore, condensate collectors are needed.
[0003] Existing condensate collectors typically use low-level pipes for direct discharge to reduce condensate backflow. In addition, filter plates and screens are added for filtration to reduce pipe blockage.
[0004] However, in actual use, the following drawbacks exist: the replacement of filter plates and screens is a rather cumbersome process, increasing the workload for users. Moreover, the machine needs to be stopped during the replacement process, which can easily lead to accidental discharge of condensate, making it quite inconvenient.
[0005] Based on this, the present invention designs a collector to prevent the accumulation and backflow of condensate in order to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a collector to prevent the accumulation and backflow of condensate.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A collector for preventing condensate buildup and backflow includes a treatment box with an air outlet and an air inlet on its upper and lower sides, respectively. A three-way pipe for discharging condensate is installed at the bottom of the treatment box. It also includes two anti-clogging mechanisms to intercept impurities in the condensate. Each anti-clogging mechanism includes a cartridge, a filter plate, and a vertically movable brush. One side of the brush plate contacts one side of the filter plate, and one side of the filter plate passes through the treatment box and extends into the interior of the cartridge. The cartridge is installed on the inner bottom wall of the treatment box.
[0009] Furthermore, the anti-blocking mechanism also includes a baffle plate. A water inlet is provided on one side of the card box, and the baffle plate is slidably connected to the inside of the card box and is used to block the water inlet.
[0010] Furthermore, the interior of the processing box is equipped with a flow guide shroud extending to its outer side, one end of the air inlet pipe extends into the interior of the flow guide shroud, the flow guide shroud is arranged in an inverted cone shape, and one end of the air outlet pipe is installed into the interior of the flow guide shroud.
[0011] Furthermore, a strong magnet is embedded on one side of the filter plate, and a metal strip that can be magnetically connected to the strong magnet is slidably connected inside the treatment box. A traction rope is installed between the metal strip and the flow-blocking plate.
[0012] Furthermore, a fixing block is installed inside the processing box, one end of the traction rope extends to the outside of the fixing block, and a spring is sleeved on the outside of the traction rope. The spring is installed between the flow deflector and the fixing block.
[0013] Furthermore, a guide roller is installed inside the processing box, and the outer side of the traction rope contacts the outer side of the guide roller;
[0014] Furthermore, a collection bucket is installed at the bottom of the three-way pipe, and a solenoid valve is installed on the outside of the three-way pipe. Both the collection bucket and the processing box are made of polypropylene.
[0015] Furthermore, a set of flow guide grooves are provided on the inner wall of the flow guide shroud;
[0016] Furthermore, magnetic strips are slidably connected to both sides of the processing box, and an iron strip is installed on the side of the brush plate away from the filter plate, with one end of the magnetic strip magnetically connected to one end of the iron strip.
[0017] Furthermore, the bottom of the treatment box has two drain outlets, and a drain pipe located at the bottom of the treatment box is installed inside the drain outlets. A valve is installed on the outside of the drain pipe.
[0018] Beneficial effects
[0019] 1. By setting up a baffle plate, when the filter plate is disassembled and replaced, the strong magnet separates from the corresponding metal strip. Then, the baffle plate's own weight, combined with the spring's reset drive, causes the baffle plate to block the water inlet. At this time, the user can replace the filter plate in the cartridge. Meanwhile, the filter plates in the remaining cartridges continue to intercept the flow, ensuring continuous discharge of condensate without affecting the replacement of the filter plates. No machine shutdown is required, making it more convenient.
[0020] 2. The filter plate is designed for plug-in installation. After it is installed in place, it is attracted to the strong magnet inside by the metal strip to complete the stable installation of the filter plate. When disassembling, it can be pulled out by simply applying force. The installation and disassembly are convenient and reduce the workload of users. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0032] In some embodiments, please refer to the appendix to the instruction manual. Figure 1-6The collector for preventing condensate buildup and backflow includes a treatment box 100. An air outlet pipe and an air inlet pipe are respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the treatment box 100. A three-way pipe 200 for discharging condensate is installed at the bottom of the treatment box 100. It also includes two anti-clogging mechanisms 300, which are used to intercept impurities in the condensate. Each anti-clogging mechanism 300 includes a cartridge 310, a filter plate 320, and a vertically movable brush plate 330. One side of the brush plate 330 contacts one side of the filter plate 320. One side of the filter plate 320 passes through the treatment box 100 and extends into the interior of the cartridge 310. The cartridge 310 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the treatment box 100.
[0033] In this embodiment of the utility model, the exhaust device is connected to the air inlet pipe, and then the gas is discharged along the air inlet pipe and then discharged along the air outlet pipe. During this process, the condensate formed in the air outlet pipe is collected by the treatment box 100, and then the impurities in the condensate are intercepted by the anti-blocking mechanism 300. Finally, the condensate is discharged along the three-way pipe 200.
[0034] In this embodiment of the utility model, the filter plate 320 in the cartridge 310 is used to intercept impurities in the condensate. During use, the user can periodically drive the brush plate 330 to move up and down to clean the impurities remaining on the filter plate 320, thus ensuring the interception effect of the filter plate 320.
[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the anti-blocking mechanism 300 further includes a flow-blocking plate 340. A water inlet is provided on one side of the card box 310. The flow-blocking plate 340 is slidably connected to the inside of the card box 310 and is used to block the water inlet.
[0036] When the filter plate 320 needs to be replaced, the user can pull out the filter plate 320 and then drive the baffle plate 340 to block the water inlet, thereby reducing the occurrence of accidental condensate leakage. After the filter plate 320 is installed in place, the baffle plate 340 is reset, allowing the water inlet to discharge condensate normally.
[0037] In this embodiment of the present invention, a guide shroud 110 extending to the outside is installed inside the treatment box 100, one end of the air inlet pipe extends into the inside of the guide shroud 110, the guide shroud 110 is arranged in an inverted cone shape, and one end of the air outlet pipe is installed into the inside of the guide shroud 110; by adopting the arrangement of the inverted cone-shaped guide shroud 110, the condensate can be discharged into the treatment box 100 along its inner wall, thereby improving the condensate collection efficiency.
[0038] In this embodiment of the utility model, a strong magnet 321 is embedded on one side of the filter plate 320, and a metal strip 322 that can be magnetically connected to the strong magnet 321 is slidably connected inside the treatment box 100. A traction rope 323 is installed between the metal strip 322 and the baffle plate 340. When the filter plate 320 is installed in place, the strong magnet 321 will attract the metal strip 322 to move. The attraction between the two will ensure the stable installation of the filter plate 320. At the same time, the metal strip 322 will pull the traction rope 323 to move, so that the baffle plate 340 is pulled, which facilitates the opening of the water inlet and completes the discharge treatment of condensate.
[0039] In this embodiment of the utility model, a fixing block 120 is installed inside the treatment box 100. One end of the traction rope 323 extends to the outside of the fixing block 120. A spring 324 is sleeved on the outside of the traction rope 323. The spring 324 is installed between the baffle plate 340 and the fixing block 120. When the filter plate 320 is disassembled, the strong magnet 321 separates from the metal strip 322. Then the spring 324 on the fixing block 120 will be deformed and reset, thereby driving the baffle plate 340 to move and block the water inlet, reducing the occurrence of accidental leakage of condensate. At this time, the user can replace the filter plate 320 normally.
[0040] In this embodiment of the utility model, a guide roller is installed inside the processing box 100, and the outer side of the traction rope 323 contacts the outer side of the guide roller; by using the guide roller, the traction rope 323 can be guided.
[0041] In this embodiment of the utility model, a collection tank 210 is installed at the bottom of the three-way pipe 200, and a solenoid valve is installed on the outside of the three-way pipe 200. Both the collection tank 210 and the treatment box 100 are made of polypropylene. The collection tank 210 is used to collect condensate in a centralized manner. With the solenoid valve, the opening and closing of the three-way pipe 200 can be intelligently controlled. Since both the collection tank 210 and the treatment box 100 are made of polypropylene, the entire collector has good corrosion resistance.
[0042] In this embodiment of the utility model, a set of guide grooves 111 are provided on the inner wall of the guide shroud 110; the guide grooves 111 are provided to facilitate the auxiliary flow of condensate in the guide shroud 110 and improve the condensate collection effect.
[0043] In this embodiment of the utility model, magnetic strips 130 are slidably connected to both sides of the processing box 100, and an iron strip is installed on the side of the brush plate 330 away from the filter plate 320. One end of the magnetic strip 130 is magnetically connected to one end of the iron strip. The user can periodically slide the magnetic strip 130 up and down, so that the brush plate 330 can follow the movement outside the filter plate 320 under the influence of magnetic attraction, thereby cleaning the filter plate 320.
[0044] In this embodiment of the utility model, two drain ports 140 are provided at the bottom of the treatment box 100. A drain pipe 141 located at the bottom of the treatment box 100 is provided in the drain port 140, and a valve is installed on the outside of the drain pipe 141. After the filter plate 320 intercepts the impurities, the impurities are collected by settling through the drain port 140. The user can open the valve periodically and then discharge the impurities along with a small amount of condensate along the drain pipe 141.
[0045] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
