Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flash evaporator technology, specifically a high-efficiency flash evaporator. Background Technology

[0002] A flash tank, also called a flash separator, is a device used to perform a flash evaporation process. Flash evaporation refers to the rapid vaporization of some volatile components in a liquid under a sudden pressure drop. The main function of a flash tank is to separate gas-liquid mixtures, allowing the gas and liquid phases to exit from different outlets.

[0003] Existing flash tanks are typically manufactured with a sealed structure. During use, when a high-pressure gas-liquid mixture enters the flash tank through the inlet pipe, the saturated vapor pressure of some volatile components in the liquid exceeds the pressure inside the tank due to the lower internal pressure. As a result, these volatile components rapidly vaporize. The remaining liquid phase accumulates at the bottom of the tank due to gravity. However, since flash tanks are sealed, the internal conditions cannot be observed, which can easily lead to liquid accumulation inside the tank. This accumulation prevents timely drainage, causing the liquid level inside the tank to rise and affecting the normal use of the flash tank, thus reducing its practicality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a high-efficiency flash tank that solves the problems of liquid accumulation inside the flash tank body, which leads to a rise in liquid level, making it impossible to observe the internal condition of the flash tank body, preventing timely discharge of liquid, and failing to ensure that the liquid mixture enters the tank body evenly and stably, thus resulting in a deterioration in the performance of the flash tank body.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency flash evaporator, comprising a flash evaporator body, a stabilizing block provided inside the flash evaporator body, a floating rod slidably connected to the stabilizing block, a floating block fixedly connected to the lower end face of the floating rod, a pressing block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the floating rod, a first oblique surface formed on the side of the pressing block away from the floating rod, a force-bearing block slidably connected to the side of the pressing block away from the floating rod, a second oblique surface formed on the side of the force-bearing block in contact with the pressing block, and a connecting rod fixedly connected to the side of the force-bearing block away from the pressing block. A fixed column is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod. A movable groove and a removable groove are respectively opened in the fixed column. A movable column is slidably connected in the movable groove and is fixedly connected to the connecting rod. A pressure sensor is provided in the removable groove and is fixedly connected to the fixed column. A contact rod is fixedly connected to the end of the movable column away from the connecting rod. Two symmetrical guide rods are slidably connected on the movable column and are fixedly connected to the fixed column. A spring is sleeved on the outer surface of the guide rod, and the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the movable column and the fixed column, respectively.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: the flash tank body can process gas-liquid mixtures, causing the liquid to accumulate at the bottom of the flash tank body. As the liquid level rises, the float block and float rod move upwards, causing the extrusion block on the outer wall of the float rod to press against the force block, which in turn presses against the connecting rod. This causes the connecting rod to move the contact rod at one end of the moving column towards the pressure sensor. The moving column slides on two guide rods, compressing the spring, and the contact rod compresses the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor transmits a signal to discharge the liquid at the bottom of the flash tank body, preventing liquid accumulation and improving the continuous stability of the flash tank during use.

[0007] In order to guide the connecting rod;

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a fixing block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing column, and a guide frame is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the fixing block; the guide frame is slidably connected to the connecting rod.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: by using the fixing block, the guide frame can be fixed, ensuring that the guide frame remains sufficiently stable during use; and by using the guide frame, the connecting rod can be guided, ensuring that the movement of the connecting rod is sufficiently stable.

[0010] In order to fix the stabilizing block;

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: two symmetrical stabilizing rods are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stabilizing block, and the stabilizing rods are fixedly connected to the flash tank body;

[0012] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: by using a stabilizing rod, the stabilizing block can be fixed, ensuring that the stabilizing block remains sufficiently stable during use and does not tilt or sway, thereby ensuring the stability of the floating rod.

[0013] In order to facilitate the transport of gas-liquid mixtures and the discharge of steam;

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a feed pipe and an exhaust pipe are fixedly connected to the upper end face of the flash tank body, a first control valve is fixedly connected to the exhaust pipe, and the feed pipe extends into the flash tank body;

[0015] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: by using the feed pipe, a gas-liquid mixture can be delivered into the flash tank body, and in conjunction with the use of the first control valve, the gas generated in the flash tank body can be quickly discharged to prevent steam from accumulating in the flash tank body.

[0016] In order to achieve the discharge of liquid;

[0017] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the flash tank body, and a second control valve is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe;

[0018] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: by using the second control valve, the opening and closing of the discharge pipe can be controlled, which facilitates the use of the discharge pipe and allows for effective discharge of liquid, preventing liquid from accumulating at the bottom of the flash tank body.

[0019] In order to achieve stable support for the flash tank body;

[0020] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a fixing frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the flash tank body, a positioning block is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the fixing frame, and the positioning block is fixedly connected to the fixing column;

[0021] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: the use of the fixing frame can support the flash tank body, ensuring that the flash tank body remains sufficiently stable during use, and the use of the positioning block can fix the fixing column, ensuring that the fixing column is sufficiently stable.

[0022] In order to cause damage to the pressure sensor;

[0023] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a rubber block is fixedly connected to the end of the contact rod away from the moving column;

[0024] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: by using the rubber block, the contact rod can be used to press the pressure sensor, ensuring that the pressure sensor transmits signals under force while protecting the pressure sensor and preventing damage to it.

[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model in any way.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a high-efficiency flash evaporator, including a flash evaporator body 1. A stabilizing block 11 is provided inside the flash evaporator body 1. A float rod 12 is slidably connected to the stabilizing block 11. A float block 13 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the float rod 12. A pressing block 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the float rod 12. A first oblique surface 15 is formed on the side of the pressing block 14 away from the float rod 12. A force-bearing block 16 is slidably connected to the side of the pressing block 14 away from the float rod 12. A second oblique surface 17 is formed on the side of the force-bearing block 16 that contacts the pressing block 14. A connecting rod 18 is fixedly connected to the side of the force-bearing block 16 away from the pressing block 14. A fixing column 19 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 18. A moving groove 20 and a movable groove 21 are respectively formed inside the fixing column 19. A movable column 22 is slidably connected inside the tank 20, and the movable column 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 18. A pressure sensor 23 is installed inside the movable tank 21, and the pressure sensor 23 is fixedly connected to the fixed column 19. A contact rod 24 is fixedly connected to the end of the movable column 22 away from the connecting rod 18. Two symmetrical guide rods 25 are slidably connected to the movable column 22, and the guide rods 25 are fixedly connected to the fixed column 19. A spring 26 is sleeved on the outer surface of the guide rod 25, and the two ends of the spring 26 are fixedly connected to the movable column 22 and the fixed column 19, respectively. Through the use of the flash tank body 1, gas-liquid mixtures can be processed. The generated liquid falls to the bottom of the flash tank body 1. As the liquid level rises, it moves upward with the float block 13 and the float rod 12, causing the first oblique cut of the extrusion block 14. The surface 15 slides against the second oblique surface 17 on the force-bearing block 16, squeezing the force-bearing block 16. This causes the connecting rod 18 to move the contact rod 24 at one end of the moving column 22. A rubber block 81 is fixedly connected to the end of the contact rod 24 away from the moving column 22, so that the rubber block 81 on the contact rod 24 squeezes the pressure sensor 23, thereby causing the pressure sensor 23 to receive force and transmit signals, facilitating the discharge of accumulated liquid. A fixing block 31 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing column 19, and a guide frame 32 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the fixing block 31. The guide frame 32 is slidably connected to the connecting rod 18. The fixing block 31 can fix the guide frame 32. Through the use of the guide frame 32, the connecting rod 18 can be guided to ensure that the connecting rod 18 moves smoothly. During the process, to maintain sufficient stability, two symmetrical stabilizing rods 41 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stabilizing block 11. The stabilizing rods 41 are fixedly connected to the flash tank body 1. The use of the stabilizing rods 41 can fix the stabilizing block 11, ensuring that the stabilizing block 11 is sufficiently stable and will not tilt or shake. The upper end face of the flash tank body 1 is fixedly connected to the feed pipe 51 and the exhaust pipe 52, respectively. The exhaust pipe 52 is fixedly connected to the first control valve 53. The feed pipe 51 extends into the flash tank body 1. The use of the feed pipe 51 can transport the gas-liquid mixture into the flash tank body 1. The use of the first control valve 53 can flexibly open and close the exhaust pipe 52 to facilitate the discharge of steam. The bottom of the flash tank body 1 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 61.A second control valve 62 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 61. The second control valve 62 controls the opening and closing of the discharge pipe 61, facilitating liquid discharge. A fixing frame 71 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the flash tank body 1. A positioning block 72 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the fixing frame 71. The positioning block 72 is fixedly connected to the fixing column 19. The fixing frame 71 supports and fixes the flash tank body 1, and, in conjunction with the positioning block 72, stabilizes the fixing column 19.

[0035] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the gas-liquid mixture is transported to the flash tank through the feed pipe 51. After processing by the flash tank body 1, the gas and liquid are separated. Under the action of the first control valve 53, the exhaust pipe 52 is opened to discharge the generated steam. The generated liquid falls to the bottom of the flash tank body 1. As the liquid level rises, it carries the float block 13 and float rod 12 upwards, causing the squeezing block 14 to slide against the force-bearing block 16. As the squeezing block 14 rises, the force-bearing block 16 moves in the direction of the connecting rod box fixing column 19. The connecting rod 18 slides the moving column 22 in the moving groove 20, causing the moving column 22 to move towards the pressure sensor 23 with the rubber block 81 at the upper end in contact with it. The moving column 22 slides on the two guide rods 25, compressing the spring 26. When the rubber block 81 contacts the pressure sensor 23, the pressure sensor 23 is under force and transmits the signal to control the second control valve 62 to open, allowing for rapid discharge of the liquid. After the liquid discharge is completed, the float block 13 and the float rod 12 automatically fall, and the spring 26 rebounds, thus realizing the entire process of using the high-efficiency flash tank body 1.
