Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum system component technology, and in particular to a vacuum system protective tank with an internal water cleaning structure. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum pumps are mainly used to extract air or other gases to reduce the pressure inside a container and create a vacuum environment. Existing vacuum systems are used in the pharmaceutical, electronics, and food industries.
[0003] Existing vacuum systems require a connection between a vacuum pump and a water pump suction tank. However, in such systems, the protection for the vacuum pump is generally inadequate, and water may enter the vacuum pump during suction operation. Without proper protection for the vacuum pump, the vacuum system will malfunction. To address this, we propose a vacuum system protection tank with an internal water-cleaning structure. Utility Model Content

By installing the float ball and the sealing plug, the protection effect on the vacuum pump can be enhanced.
[0006] Preferably, the other end of the compression spring away from the float is fixedly connected to an installation ring, which is connected to the inner wall of the protective tank body. By installing the compression spring, the float can be adjusted and sealed more conveniently.
[0007] Preferably, the inner end of the float is slidably connected to a guide rod, the top end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting ring, and the bottom end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to a limit head. By installing the guide rod and the limit head, the sealing adjustment of the float and the float block can be made more stable.
[0008] Preferably, a water tank connection port is installed at the top of the protective tank body, and a vacuum pump connection port is movably connected to the right side of the water tank connection port. The vacuum pump connection port is located at the top of the protective tank body. By installing the water tank connection port and the vacuum pump connection port, the connection between the vacuum system protective tank and external components in the vacuum system can be made more convenient.
[0009] Preferably, a drain valve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective tank body, and a transparent observation window is fixedly connected to the outer end of the protective tank body.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, by setting a float and a sealing plug, the device is connected between the vacuum pump and the water pump suction tank. When vacuum suction is performed, the float moves in conjunction with the water level inside the protective tank, causing the float to float up and drive the sealing plug to block the bottom of the valve port. The sealing plug is made of fluororubber or similar materials, which effectively prevents water from flowing into the vacuum pump during suction. This allows the device to effectively protect the vacuum pump during vacuum system operation. When the water flows out, the force on the float decreases, and the compression spring, together with the float block, resets the float, releasing the sealing effect. Furthermore, the limiting connection structure of the float prevents the float from blocking the outside of the drainage component, making the internal water treatment of the device more thorough. After use, the water can be easily drained without affecting the next use, making this vacuum system protective tank more practical in vacuum systems and enhancing the protection effect on the vacuum pump.
[0015] 2. In this utility model, by setting a guide rod and a limiting head, the guide rod can guide the moving float and float block, making the float and float block more stable during the sealing adjustment work and preventing them from deviating. In addition, the limiting head at the bottom of the guide rod prevents the float and float block from falling off, making the sealing adjustment of the float and float block more stable.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a vacuum system protective tank with an internal water cleaning structure, including a protective tank body 1, a valve port 4 fixedly connected to the top center of the protective tank body 1, a vacuum pipeline 5 fixedly connected to the outer end of the valve port 4, a float ball 6 movably connected to the bottom of the valve port 4, the float ball 6 slidably connected to the inside of the protective tank body 1, a connecting rod 7 fixedly connected to the top of the float ball 6, a sealing plug 8 connected to the top of the connecting rod 7, float blocks 9 fixedly connected to both ends of the float ball 6, float rods 10 fixedly installed on the outer ends of the float blocks 9, and a compression spring 12 fixedly installed on the upper end of the float rods 10.
[0025] Please see Figure 2-3 The other end of the compression spring 12 away from the float 10 is fixedly connected to a mounting ring 17, which is connected to the inner wall of the protective tank body 1.
[0026] Please see Figure 2-3The inner end of the float 10 is slidably connected to a guide rod 11. The top end of the guide rod 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting ring 17. The bottom end of the guide rod 11 is fixedly connected to a limit head 16.
[0027] In this embodiment, the device is integrally connected between the vacuum pump and the water pump's suction tank. During vacuum suction, the float 6 moves in conjunction with the water level inside the protective tank 1, causing it to float and pull the sealing plug 8 to block the bottom of the valve port 4. The guide rod 11 guides the moving float 6 and float block 9, making them more stable during sealing adjustment and preventing displacement. The limiting head 16 at the bottom of the guide rod 11 prevents the float 6 and float block 9 from falling off. The sealing plug 8 is made of fluororubber or similar materials, effectively preventing water from flowing into the vacuum pump during suction, ensuring the device operates smoothly in the vacuum system. Effective protection for the vacuum pump, and when water flows out, the force on the float 6 decreases. At this time, the compression spring 12, together with the float block 9, allows the float 6 to return to its original position. The compression spring 12 can be made of polyethylene, polypropylene, or stainless steel, which can prevent corrosion to a certain extent. The compression spring 12 can be used to control the return of the float 6, thus releasing the sealing effect. The limiting connection structure of the float 6 prevents the float 6 from blocking the outside of the drainage component, making the internal water treatment of the device more thorough. After use, the water can be easily drained without affecting the next use, making the vacuum system protection tank more practical in the vacuum system.
[0028] Example 2
[0029] Please see Figure 1-2 The present invention provides a technical solution: a water tank connection port 2 is installed at the top of the protective tank body 1, and a vacuum pump connection port 3 is movably connected to the right side of the water tank connection port 2. The vacuum pump connection port 3 is located at the top of the protective tank body 1.
[0030] Please see Figure 1-2 A drain valve 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective tank body 1, and a transparent observation window 19 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the protective tank body 1.
[0031] In this embodiment, the water tank connection port 2 and the vacuum pump connection port 3 can be connected to the water pump suction tank and the vacuum pump respectively, making the connection between the vacuum system protection tank and external components in the vacuum system more convenient. The transparent observation window 19 allows the staff to easily observe the water level inside the protection tank body 1, making it convenient to observe and adjust the operating status of the protection tank body 1 in a timely manner, thus improving the practicality of the protection tank body 1.
[0032] Example 3
[0033] Please see Figure 2-3The present invention provides a technical solution: an installation block 13 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the float 10, a touch rod 14 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the installation block 13, and a pressure sensor 15 is movably connected to the top end of the touch rod 14.
[0034] Please see Figure 2 The pressure sensor 15 is located at the bottom of the mounting block 13.
[0035] In this embodiment, the touch rod 14 can be adjusted together with the movement of the float 6 and the float 9. When the water level reaches a certain position after the touch rod 14 moves, it contacts the pressure sensor 15. The pressure sensor 15 is connected to the external controller signal, so that the staff can more intuitively know the water level conduction inside the device.
[0036] Working Principle: When used in a vacuum system, this device can be connected to the water pump suction tank and the vacuum pump respectively through the water tank connection port 2 and the vacuum pump connection port 3. During vacuum suction, the float 6 moves in accordance with the water level inside the protective tank body 1, causing the float 6 to float up and move the sealing plug 8 to block the bottom of the valve port 4. The sealing plug 8 is made of fluororubber or similar materials, which effectively prevents water from flowing into the vacuum pump during suction. The guide rod 11 guides the moving float 6 and float 9, allowing the float 6 and float 9 to adjust the seal during the suction process. The device operates more stably without deviation, and the limiting head 16 at the bottom of the guide rod 11 prevents the float 6 and float block 9 from falling off, effectively protecting the vacuum pump during vacuum system operation. When water flows out, the force on the float 6 decreases, and the compression spring 12, together with the float block 9, resets the float 6, releasing the sealing effect. The limiting connection structure of the float 6 prevents it from blocking the outside of the drainage assembly, making the internal water treatment of the device more thorough. After use, water can be easily drained without affecting the next use.
[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from the technical solution of this utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
