Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline leakage devices, and in particular to a leakage prevention and detection device for circulating condensers. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of amino acid products, the circulating condenser is the core equipment for heat exchange. Due to long-term exposure to factors such as temperature changes and fluid pressure fluctuations, the connection between the condenser pipes and the connecting pipes is prone to problems such as sealing aging and cracking, which can lead to leakage of media (such as water, refrigerant, etc.).

[0003] If a leak goes undetected, it may cause equipment failure, media waste, or even safety accidents, resulting in economic losses and environmental impact. Therefore, it is necessary to inspect the connections to avoid failures and waste caused by leaks at the connections.

[0004] Therefore, a leak detection device for circulating condensers is provided to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and to propose a leak detection device for circulating condensers.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A circulating condenser leak detection device includes a condenser pipeline connected to a connecting pipe, and further includes: two sets of mounting semi-rings installed at the connection between the condenser pipeline and the connecting pipe, the two sets of mounting semi-rings being able to be spliced ​​into a complete ring to cover the connection; a storage cavity disposed within the mounting semi-rings, the storage cavity containing water-swellable rubber; multiple sets of holes disposed on the inner wall of the mounting semi-rings, the holes communicating with the storage cavity; a push rod slidably connected to the mounting semi-rings, one end of the push rod located within the storage cavity, the end of the push rod in the storage cavity abutting against the water-swellable rubber; a squeeze-type switch installed on the mounting semi-rings, the squeeze-type switch being compressable by the movement of the push rod; and a warning light installed on the mounting semi-rings, the warning light emitting an alarm when the switch is squeezed.

[0008] Preferably, a battery is mounted on the mounting half-ring, and the battery is electrically connected to the squeeze switch and the warning light.

[0009] Preferably, a movable plate is slidably connected inside the storage cavity, and the top rod is fixedly connected to the movable plate.

[0010] To prevent the top rod from directly contacting the squeeze switch during inverted installation, preferably, a spring is fixedly connected to the movable plate, with one end of the spring fixedly connected to the storage cavity.

[0011] Preferably, the mounting half-ring is provided with an opening communicating with the storage cavity, and a base plate is installed on the opening.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Example

[0023] Referring to Figures 1-6, the circulating condenser leak detection device includes a condenser pipe 101, with a connecting pipe 102 connected to the condenser pipe 101. It also includes: two sets of mounting semi-rings 2, installed at the connection between the condenser pipe 101 and the connecting pipe 102, which can be joined to form a complete ring to cover the connection; a storage cavity 201, located inside the mounting semi-rings 2, containing water-swellable rubber; multiple sets of holes 202, located on the inner wall of the mounting semi-rings 2, communicating with the storage cavity 201; a push rod 206, slidably connected to the mounting semi-rings 2, with one end of the push rod 206 located inside the storage cavity 201, abutting against the water-swellable rubber; and a squeeze-type switch 3, installed on the mounting semi-rings 2, connected to the push rod 206. The movement of the device allows for the compression of the squeeze switch 3; the warning light 4 is mounted on the mounting half-ring 2, and the squeeze switch 3 enables the warning light 4 to sound an alarm. The mounting half-ring 2 is equipped with a battery 5, which is electrically connected to the squeeze switch 3 and the warning light 4 (the connection lines are not shown in the diagram); a movable plate 204 is slidably connected inside the storage cavity 201, and a top rod 206 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 204; a spring 205 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 204, and one end of the spring 205 is fixedly connected to the storage cavity 201.

[0024] In reality, the hole 202 should be a small hole, but it is shown as a large hole in the figure for ease of display.

[0025] When using this device, water-swellable material is filled into the storage cavity 201 inside the mounting half-ring 2. In this embodiment, the condenser is filled with water, and the water-swellable material used is water-swellable rubber. The water-swellable rubber fills the storage cavity 201 and rests against the moving plate 204. Then, the two sets of mounting half-rings 2 can be spliced ​​together and fitted onto the connection between the condenser pipe 101 and the connecting pipe 102. The two sets of mounting half-rings 2 are then installed with bolts. The inner diameter of the mounting half-ring 2 matches the outer diameter of the condenser pipe 101 and the connecting pipe 102 to prevent leakage. A sealing rubber ring can be set at the connection to improve the sealing performance.

[0026] In subsequent use, if a leak occurs at the connection between the condenser pipe 101 and the connecting pipe 102, water mist or liquid will leak from the connection. This liquid will come into contact with the water-swellable rubber through the hole 202. If it is a minor leak, the water-swellable rubber will gradually expand. If it is a larger leak, the water-swellable rubber will expand rapidly. At this time, the spliced ​​installation half ring 2 can play a temporary sealing role to avoid the impact of a large amount of leakage on the surrounding environment.

[0027] As the water-swellable rubber expands, it reduces the space inside the storage cavity 201, causing the movable plate 204 to move upward. Then, the push rod 206 presses against the squeeze switch 3, allowing the electricity in the battery 5 to enter the warning light 4 through the connecting wire. The warning light 4 then emits a light warning, allowing nearby staff to know that there is a leak at the connection and then reseal the connection.

[0028] The installation half-ring 2 has an opening that communicates with the storage cavity 201, and a base plate 207 is installed on the opening by bolts; the installation half-ring 2 has a partition plate 203 installed on both ends of the storage cavity 201 by magnets, and the partition plate 203 is used to prevent the water-swelling rubber from falling off and coming out during installation.

[0029] With the base plate 207 in place, after a warning is issued, the bolts on the base plate 207 can be unscrewed, the base plate 207 can be removed, the rubber inside that has expanded when exposed to water can be taken out, and new rubber can be inserted. Care should be taken to avoid the top rod 206 pressing against the squeeze switch 3.

[0030] Meanwhile, the partition 203 is a metal plate with magnets on both sides, used to seal the storage cavity 201 to prevent leakage of materials that expand when exposed to water.

[0031] This utility model, through the setting of two sets of installation half rings 2, can wrap the connection between the condenser pipe 101 and the connecting pipe 102. In the event of a subsequent leak, the water vapor generated by the leak will come into contact with the water-swellable rubber through the hole 202. The water-swellable rubber expands upon contact with water, thereby causing the top rod 206 to contact the contact switch 3, which will then cause the warning light 4 to emit a warning, making it easy for nearby staff to be aware of the situation.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
