Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid separator technology, and more specifically, to a device for preventing blockage of the drain pipe of a liquid separator. Background Technology
[0002] Steam generated by the steam generator enters a steam separator to further improve steam quality. In the steam separator, the gas phase flows from the outlet to the steam superheater, while the liquid phase returns to the steam generator or enters the steam generator's continuous drain line.
[0003] However, in actual operation, the demister mesh at the top of the separator often falls off or impurities fall and block the liquid phase pipeline. This not only leads to a decrease in the separation effect of the separator and affects the quality of the steam, but also has an adverse impact on the safe and stable operation of the unit. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model proposes an anti-clogging device for the drain pipe of a separator, which can quickly clean impurities on the filter screen without disassembling it, thus preventing the separator from deteriorating and affecting the quality of steam. It also avoids adverse effects on the safe and stable operation of the device and shortens the time required to clean impurities.
[0005] This utility model proposes an anti-clogging device for the drain pipe of a liquid separator, which includes a liquid phase outlet pipe, an external pipe, a sealing assembly, and a filter assembly.
[0006] The external connector is fixedly installed at the bend of the liquid phase outlet pipe to form a three-way structure, and a scale storage tank is provided on the inner wall of the external connector.
[0007] The sealing assembly includes a pull rod, a spring sleeved on the outer wall of the pull rod, a first sealing plug and a second sealing plug sleeved on the outer wall of the pull rod, the first sealing plug being detachably installed at the end of the outer tube, a second sealing ring being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first sealing plug, the second sealing ring slidingly contacting the pull rod, a third sealing ring being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second sealing plug, the third sealing ring slidingly contacting the inner wall of the outer tube, a fourth sealing ring being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second sealing plug, the fourth sealing ring slidingly contacting the pull rod, and a limit ring being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pull rod.
[0008] The filter assembly includes a filter screen, which is rotatably mounted on a pull rod. A cleaning brush is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pull rod, and the cleaning brush makes frictional contact with the filter screen. A fifth sealing ring is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the filter screen, and the fifth sealing ring makes sliding contact with the inner wall of the liquid phase outlet pipe.
[0009] Furthermore, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the first sealing plug, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the second sealing plug.
[0010] Furthermore, the end of the pull rod passes through the first sealing plug and extends to the outside of the outer tube, and the end of the pull rod is fixedly connected to a pull ring.
[0011] Furthermore, the outer pipe end is provided with a threaded groove, and a sealing pipe is threadedly connected to the threaded groove.
[0012] Furthermore, a first sealing ring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the threaded groove, and the outer wall of the first sealing ring is in contact with the sealing tube by compression.
[0013] Furthermore, a connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the filter screen, and a fifth sealing ring is also fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting sleeve.
[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a separatory tank, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the liquid phase outlet pipe, and multiple support feet are fixedly installed at the bottom of the separatory tank.
[0015] Furthermore, a steam outlet pipe is fixedly installed on the top of the separator, and a steam inlet pipe is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the separator.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model, achieved through the above technical solution, are as follows:
[0017] 1. By rotating the sealing tube, the sealing tube is detached from the end of the outer connecting tube. Pulling the pull ring moves the pull rod, which in turn moves the filter screen. The limiting ring on the pull rod compresses the second sealing plug, causing it to slide outward along the outer connecting tube. At this time, the spring is compressed. When the spring is fully compressed, the filter screen moves to the scale storage tank position. Rotating the pull rod rotates the cleaning brush, which cleans the outer wall of the filter screen. The fallen impurities will enter the scale storage tank. This design allows operators to quickly clean impurities on the filter screen without disassembling it, preventing a decrease in the separation effect of the separator and affecting the quality of steam. It also avoids adverse effects on the safe and stable operation of the device and shortens the time required for cleaning impurities.
[0018] 2. Push the lever in the opposite direction to move the filter screen into the liquid phase outlet pipe. At this time, under the elastic force of the spring, the second sealing plug is pushed into the outer pipe. This design can realize the rapid reset of the second sealing plug. At the same time, the setting of the second sealing plug, the third sealing ring and the fourth sealing ring can seal the outer pipe to prevent liquid from entering the sealed pipe and causing liquid loss.
[0019] 3. When the filter screen moves, it can drive the connecting sleeve to move, and the connecting sleeve can drive the fifth sealing ring to move, which can further improve the sealing performance of the structure. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The spring 12 enables the second sealing plug 13 to be quickly reset; the setting of the second sealing plug 13, the third sealing ring 14 and the fourth sealing ring 15 can seal the external pipe 3 to prevent liquid from entering the sealing pipe 7 and causing liquid loss.
[0031] The filter assembly includes a filter screen 18, which is rotatably mounted on a pull rod 8. A cleaning brush 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pull rod 8. The cleaning brush 17 is in frictional contact with the filter screen 18. A fifth sealing ring 20 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the filter screen 18. The fifth sealing ring 20 is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the liquid phase outlet pipe 2.
[0032] Rotating the lever 8 drives the cleaning brush 17 to rotate, allowing the cleaning brush 17 to clean the outer wall of the filter screen 18. The fallen impurities will enter the scale storage tank 4. This design allows operators to quickly clean the impurities on the filter screen 18 without disassembling it, preventing the separation effect of the separator 1 from deteriorating and affecting the quality of the steam. It also avoids adverse effects on the safe and stable operation of the device and shortens the time required to clean impurities.

The limiting ring 16 on the pull rod 8 squeezes the second sealing plug 13, and the second sealing plug 13 slides outward along the outer tube 3. At this time, the spring 12 is compressed. When the spring 12 is fully compressed, the filter screen 18 moves to the position of the scale storage tank 4. By rotating the pull rod 8, the cleaning brush 17 is rotated, so that the cleaning brush 17 cleans the outer wall of the filter screen 18, and the fallen impurities will enter the scale storage tank 4.
[0039] After cleaning, push the lever 8 in the opposite direction to move the filter screen 18 into the liquid phase outlet pipe 2. At this time, under the elastic force of the spring 12, push the second sealing plug 13 into the outer pipe 3.
[0040] When the liquid flows through the liquid phase outlet pipe 2, impurities in the liquid are filtered through the filter screen 18;
