The driven gear is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating block.
[0010] As can be seen from the above description of the structure of this utility model, compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0011] 1. This utility model provides an automatic desalination flushing device for a preheater condensate pump. It is designed with a desalination water main pipe and branch pipes, with regulating valves, pressure transmitters, flow detectors, and spray heads installed on the branch pipes. The regulating valves can dynamically adjust the pressure in the branch pipes to a range of 0.2-0.4 MPa, ensuring uniform flushing coverage. Pressure transmitters and flow detectors are installed at the outlet of the regulating valves to monitor water pressure and flow rate in real time. Furthermore, a salinity detector is included to detect the salt concentration on the surface of the preheater condensate pump.

[0012] 2. This utility model provides an automatic desalination flushing device for a preheater condensate pump. The device involves a spray head that is rotatably connected to a branch pipe via a rotating device. It is designed with a rotating block, a connecting pipe, and a drive transmission device. Specifically, desalinated water from the main desalinated water pipe is sprayed from the spray head through the branch pipe to clean the outer wall of the preheater condensate pump, preventing salt deposition that could lead to corrosion of metal components and decreased insulation performance. Simultaneously, the drive motor rotates the drive gear, which in turn rotates the driven gear connected to the drive gear. This causes the rotating block to rotate the spray head, expanding the cleaning area. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Example
[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an automatic desalination flushing device for a preheater condensate pump includes a branch pipe 2 connected to a desalinated water main pipe 1. A spray head 53 is installed at one end of the branch pipe 2 away from the desalinated water main pipe 1. A regulating valve 31, a pressure transmitter 32, and a flow detector 33 are installed in the middle of the branch pipe 2. The pressure transmitter 32 is positioned between the regulating valve 31 and the flow detector 33. A salinity detector 41 is installed on one side of the preheater condensate pump 4. A recovery device is installed on the preheater condensate pump 4, with its other end connected to the unit's drainage tank. With this structure, the pressure transmitter 32 can collect the pressure of the desalinated water in the branch pipe 2; the flow detector 33 can detect the flow rate of the desalinated water in the branch pipe 2; and the regulating valve 31 can dynamically adjust the pipe pressure to a range of 0.2-0.4 MPa to ensure uniform flushing coverage.
[0022] like Figure 1As shown, the recycling device includes a recycling tank 61 surrounding the preheater drain pump 4, with a recycling pipe 62 installed at the bottom of the recycling tank 61. The other end of the recycling pipe 62 is connected to the unit's drainage tank. This structure enables the recycling device to recycle the water after cleaning, making it highly practical.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the recovery tank 61 and the salinity detector 41 are located on the same side of the preheater condensate pump 4 and below the salinity detector 41.
[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the spray head 53 is rotatably connected to the branch pipe 2 via a rotating device; the rotating device includes a rotating block 71 rotatably connected to the branch pipe 2, and connecting pipes 72 are connected through and fixedly connected to both the upper and lower sides of the rotating block 71, with the spray heads 53 evenly distributed on the connecting pipes 72; it also includes a drive transmission device rotatably connected to the rotating block 71, the drive transmission device including a drive motor 73, a drive gear 74 connected to the drive motor 73, and a driven gear 75 meshing with the drive gear 74, the driven gear 75 being sleeved on the outer side of the rotating block 71. This structure involves spraying demineralized water from the demineralized water main pipe 1 through the branch pipe 2 from the spray head 53 to clean the outer wall of the preheater drain pump 4, preventing salt from depositing on the preheater drain pump 4 and causing corrosion of the metal parts and reduced insulation performance. At the same time, the drive motor 73 is started to drive the drive gear 74 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 75 connected to the drive gear 74 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating block 71 to drive the spray head 53 to rotate, expanding the cleaning area.
[0025] It also includes a control system (not shown in the figure) that is communicatively connected to the regulating valve 31, pressure transmitter 32, flow detector 33, salinity detector 41, and drive motor 73; wherein, the control system is used to automatically adjust the opening of the demineralized water regulating valve 31 based on the data fed back by the salinity detector 41, pressure transmitter 32, and flow detector 33.
[0026] In practical use, the control system controls the operation of the drive motor 73. The rotation of the output shaft of the drive motor 73 drives the rotation of the drive gear 74 connected to it. The rotation of the drive gear 74 drives the rotation of the driven gear 75 connected to it, which in turn drives the rotation of the connecting pipe 72. This causes the rotating block 71 to drive the spray head 53 to rotate, expanding the cleaning area. The demineralized water in the demineralized water main pipe 1 is sprayed out from the spray head 53 through the branch pipe 2 to clean the outer wall of the preheater drain pump 4, preventing salt from depositing on the preheater drain pump 4 and causing problems such as corrosion of the metal parts in the preheater drain pump 4 and a decrease in insulation performance.
[0027] The regulating valve 31 can dynamically adjust the pressure of the branch pipeline to the range of 0.2-0.4 MPa to ensure uniform flushing coverage. A pressure transmitter 32 and a flow detector 33 are installed at the outlet of the regulating valve 31 to monitor water pressure and flow rate in real time. In addition, a salinity detector 41 is set to detect the salt concentration on the surface of the preheater drain pump 4. The control system is used to automatically adjust the opening of the demineralized water regulating valve 31 based on the data fed back by the salinity detector 41, pressure transmitter 32, and flow detector 33, which greatly improves the flushing efficiency. The recycling device enables the recycling of the cleaned water, making it highly practical.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
