Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of observation mirrors for condensate in ship hot wells. Specifically, this utility model relates to an observation mirror structure for condensate in ship hot wells. Background Technology
[0002] The condensate system of a ship's power system is a crucial component of the steam power plant, its core function being the recovery and treatment of condensate generated by the main engine, auxiliary engines, and various heat exchange equipment. In this process, the condensate observation cabinet, as a key piece of equipment in the hot well system, plays a vital role in storing condensate, monitoring water quality (such as oil content and impurity concentration), and regulating system pressure. To ensure the stable operation of the condensate system, operators must constantly observe the liquid level, fluid flow, and any potential impurities or oil contamination within the cabinet, allowing for timely adjustments to operations or initiation of purification procedures. The observation mirror is an indispensable accessory for the condensate observation cabinet. Traditional condensate observation cabinets often employ a simple glass window structure, fixed to the cabinet surface by flanges or bolts. Top-level observation is not conducive to accurately determining the oil level; when it is necessary to drain floating oil from the observation cabinet, the oil discharge is typically measured by the height difference between the oil level and the drain outlet. Normal oil discharge occurs when the oil level reaches the drain outlet; if it does not reach the outlet for an extended period, the drain outlet needs to be cleaned. However, because it is observed vertically, it is difficult to determine whether the liquid level has dropped to an appropriate height, resulting in poor observation and an inability to clearly observe the liquid level heights of oil and water.
[0003] Chinese Patent (Publication No.: 111486439B) discloses an integrated ship steam power water supply device and ship steam power system, including an inlet header, a vapor-liquid shock wave booster device, and an outlet header. The vapor-liquid shock wave booster device includes a mixing chamber, a condensate chamber, a steam diverting nozzle, and a mixing diverting nozzle. The steam diverting nozzle, the mixing chamber, and the mixing diverting nozzle are sequentially connected along the steam movement direction. The inlet of the steam diverting nozzle is connected to the inlet header, the mixing chamber is connected to the condensate chamber, and the outlet of the mixing diverting nozzle is connected to the outlet header. However, the liquid level of oil and water inside the observation cabinet cannot be observed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, and to facilitate its implementation.
[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an observation mirror structure for condensate in a ship's thermal well includes tempered glass 1, which is connected to a fixing mechanism 2. The tempered glass 1 serves as an observation window, directly enduring the high temperature and high pressure water vapor environment inside the thermal well, providing a visual interface. The fixing mechanism 2 is used to fix the tempered glass 1, thereby stabilizing it.
[0022] The fixing mechanism 2 includes a first fixing plate 201 and a second fixing plate 202, which are connected. The first fixing plate 201 and the second fixing plate 202 are provided with a through-hole structure 3, and the tempered glass 1 is disposed within the through-hole structure 3. One end of the second fixing plate 202 is welded to the structural wall used for the observation hole. The through-hole structure 3 is formed between the first fixing plate 201 and the second fixing plate 202, and the tempered glass 1 is disposed within the through-hole structure 3, ensuring unobstructed vision while also fixing the tempered glass 1 and restricting its movement.
[0023] The through-hole structure 3 includes a first through-hole 301 and a second through-hole 302. The first through-hole 301 is formed on the first fixing plate 201, and the second through-hole 302 is formed on the second fixing plate 202. A first limiting ring 303 is provided in the first through-hole 301, and a second limiting ring 304 is provided in the second through-hole 302. One end of the tempered glass 1 abuts against the first limiting ring 303, and the other end of the tempered glass 1 abuts against the second limiting ring 304. The first fixing plate 201 is made of copper. One end of the second fixing plate 202 is welded to the structural wall for the observation hole. The first fixing plate 201 and the second fixing plate 202 are bolted together. The first fixing plate 201 has a first through hole 301 and the second fixing plate 202 has a second through hole 302, which can achieve unobstructed vision. A first limiting ring 303 is provided in the first through hole 301 and a second limiting ring 304 is provided in the second through hole 302. The tempered glass 1 is placed between the first limiting ring 303 and the second limiting ring 304, which can restrict the movement of the tempered glass 1 and keep the tempered glass 1 stable.
[0024] A first sealing gasket 4 is provided between the tempered glass 1 and the first limiting ring 303, a second sealing gasket 5 is provided between the second limiting ring 304 and the tempered glass 1, and a third sealing gasket 6 is provided between the first fixing plate 201 and the second fixing plate 202. The first sealing gasket 4 reduces friction between the tempered glass 1 and the first limiting ring 303, the second sealing gasket 5 reduces friction between the tempered glass 1 and the second sealing gasket 5, and the third sealing gasket 6 reduces friction between the first fixing plate 201 and the second fixing plate 202. Simultaneously, the first sealing gasket 4, the second sealing gasket 5, and the third sealing gasket 6 reduce water vapor leakage within the hot well. The first sealing gasket 4, the second sealing gasket 5, and the third sealing gasket 6 are made of non-asbestos fiber-based materials.
[0025] A protective plate 7 is provided on the first fixed plate 201, and the protective plates 7 are arranged in an alternating manner. The protective plates 7 serve as protective components to prevent people from accidentally hitting the tempered glass 1 and causing danger. The alternating arrangement of the protective plates 7 can improve the protective effect.
[0026] The first fixing plate 201 and the first connecting ring are integrally formed, and the second fixing plate 202 and the second limiting ring 304 are integrally formed. The integral formation of the first fixing plate 201 and the first limiting ring 303 strengthens the connection between them, and the integral formation of the second fixing plate 202 and the second limiting ring 304 strengthens the connection between them.
[0027] The first fixing plate 201 and the second fixing plate 202 are bolted together. The first fixing plate 201 has a through hole, and the second fixing plate 202 has a connecting hole. The first fixing plate 201 and the second fixing plate 202 are connected by bolts 8 through the through hole and the connecting hole, which can make the connection between the first fixing plate 201 and the second fixing plate 202 more stable.
[0028] The first fixing plate 201 and the second fixing plate 202 are circular structures. The first fixing plate 201 and the second fixing plate 202 can better match the observation hole.
[0029] The protective panel 7 has an arc-shaped structure. The arc-shaped protective panel 7 can effectively provide support and prevent people from accidentally hitting the tempered glass 1 and causing danger.
[0030] The role and effect of the embodiments
[0031] The first fixing plate 201 is made of copper. One end of the first fixing plate 201 is welded to the structural wall used for the observation hole. The first fixing plate 201 is bolted to the second fixing plate 202. The first fixing plate 201 has a first through hole 301, and the second fixing plate 202 has a second through hole 302, which allows for a clear field of view. A first limiting ring 303 is provided in the first through hole 301, and a second limiting ring 304 is provided in the second through hole 302. The tempered glass 1 is positioned between the first limiting ring 303 and the second limiting ring 304, which can restrict the movement of the tempered glass 1 and keep it stable. The tempered glass 1 of the observation mirror has high transparency. In the high temperature and high pressure water vapor environment inside the hot well, light can pass through it and enter the operator's eyes, allowing them to clearly see the situation inside the hot well. This provides the basic conditions for observing the oil and water levels, enabling a clear observation of the oil and water levels.
