[0027] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0028] In this invention, the steam conveying pipeline 1 is designed as a high-temperature resistant, corrosion-resistant, and highly insulating steam pipeline to improve the insulation effect. A DCS control system for the waste heat power generation steam pipeline network with functions such as systematic monitoring and management, pressure regulation, and flow control is constructed to monitor and analyze pipeline operation data in real time, achieving real-time monitoring and efficient scheduling of the steam pipeline network. The steam conveying pipeline 1 transports waste heat, and the heat absorption pipe 201 is installed inside the steam conveying pipeline 1. The low-temperature water inside the heat absorption pipe 201 is rapidly heated by the heat inside the steam conveying pipeline 1. After heating, the motor in the motor housing 406 controls the threaded rod 404 to rotate and controls the sliding of the drive plate 405. This, in turn, pulls the sliding of the stopper plate B408 through the lifting frame 407. The sliding of the stopper plate B408 causes the plate 405 to rise simultaneously. Spring B304 rebounds and pushes sliding baffle 305 to lift, opening the delivery pipe 301. Plug plate B408 slides upward, drawing liquid from delivery pipe 301 and heat absorption pipe 201 into the receiving cylinder 401, completing the extraction of high-temperature liquid. After extraction, threaded rod 404 rotates in the opposite direction and controls plug plate B408 to slide down. Plug plate B408 squeezes liquid in the receiving cylinder 401, allowing it to pass through discharge pipe 402 in one direction, completing the delivery. This causes plate 405 to slide to the bottom and re-seal delivery pipe 301 with sliding baffle 305. Water pump in inlet pipe 306 starts and fills delivery pipe 301, allowing liquid to enter heat absorption pipe 201 for the next round of heating. As liquid flows in heat absorption pipe 201, plug plate A2035 and sliding rod 2032 adapt and slide, effectively sealing the pipe.
