Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material container technology, and more specifically, to a manhole access door that is easy to observe and clean. Background Technology

[0002] In the operation of many production facilities in the petroleum, chemical, and food industries, it is often required that the equipment be able to effectively monitor the working reaction of materials inside the container during continuous operation, or that the oxygen content inside the container, which stores flammable and explosive materials, must not exceed a set value. When the material inside the container is in the blind zone of the level sensor but the actual accumulation height of the material is higher than the manhole door, the existing manhole door usually cannot effectively and intuitively observe the actual situation of the raw materials accumulated in the reaction device or storage device or the waste generated after the reaction. Opening the manhole door can easily cause personal injury accidents to maintenance personnel. In order to avoid such safety accidents, it is usually necessary to observe the inside of the container through the observation window.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered that existing observation windows use glass lenses. When the lenses become contaminated, the equipment needs to be stopped to replace them or cleaned using a manual scraper device installed inside the container. However, under prolonged use, the lenses and scrapers are still prone to contamination by the medium, and after wear, they cannot achieve an effective cleaning effect, thus requiring frequent replacement. This renders the observation function of the equipment, which requires continuous operation, obsolete, affecting production progress and quality. Furthermore, existing observation windows and manholes are usually installed separately, which may create blind spots, making it difficult to observe the internal conditions of the container and resulting in poor overall safety. Therefore, in view of this, the inventors have researched and improved the existing structure to provide a manhole inspection door that facilitates observation and cleaning, aiming to achieve greater practical value. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a manhole inspection door that is easy to observe and clean. It can combine the cover plate on the manhole door with the observation window, and use a compressed air blowing system and nozzle kit to blow compressed air or inert gas through the compressed gas blowing nozzle to blow the explosion-proof glass inside the container to achieve the purpose of cleaning, meet the intuitive observation of the continuous operation device, and improve the production progress and quality.

[0006] 2. Technical Solution

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0008] A manhole access door that is easy to observe and clean includes a manhole door and a cover plate that rotates on one side of the manhole door. The cover plate has an installation hole in the middle and an observation window is welded in the installation hole. The cover plate is provided with a nozzle kit and a compressed air blowing system is provided at one end of the nozzle kit.

[0009] The nozzle kit includes two compressed air purging nozzles, the nozzle ends of which extend to the inside of the cover plate, and the connection of the compressed air purging nozzles is connected to a check valve via a stainless steel pipe.

[0010] The compressed air jetting system includes a compressed air buffer tank, an air source dual unit, a pulse valve, and a manual ball valve. The air inlet of the compressed air buffer tank is connected to the air source dual unit via a stainless steel pipe, the air outlet of the compressed air buffer tank is connected to the air inlet of the pulse valve via a stainless steel pipe, and the air outlet of the pulse valve is connected to the air inlet of the manual ball valve via a stainless steel pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, the air outlet of the manual ball valve is connected to the check valve via a double compression fitting.

[0012] Furthermore, the observation window includes two window flanges fixed in the mounting hole in the middle of the cover plate, and explosion-proof glass is fixedly connected between the two window flanges.

[0013] Furthermore, the two compressed air purging nozzles are arranged symmetrically to each other.

[0014] Furthermore, the nozzle end of the compressed air purging nozzle extends through the inside of the cover plate and faces the center of the explosion-proof glass.

[0015] Furthermore, the top of the cover plate is rotatably connected to the top of the manhole door via a pin.

[0016] Furthermore, multiple latches are provided to securely connect the manhole door to the edge of the cover plate.

[0017] 3. Beneficial effects

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0019] (1) In this solution, by opening an installation hole on the cover plate of the manhole door and fixing the explosion-proof glass in the installation hole through two viewing window flanges, the cover plate and the observation window can be used together to reduce the blind spot and make the observation of the internal situation of the container more intuitive, which greatly improves the overall safety of use.

[0020] (2) In this solution, the compressed air jetting system is used in conjunction with the nozzle kit. The compressed air is adjusted to 0.2-0.3 MPa through the air source dual unit and temporarily stored in the compressed air buffer tank. The compressed air is then blown onto the explosion-proof glass through the compressed gas purging nozzle by setting the time or manually controlling the pulse valve on site to achieve the purpose of cleaning. This allows for the intuitive observation of the equipment that needs to operate continuously, greatly improving the production progress and quality. Attached Figure Description
