Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an improvement of a leak-proof device for a gas drainer, specifically a leak-proof device for a gas drainer equipped with a labyrinth seal pressure regulating valve core. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the leak-proof gas drainers used by enterprises are generally multi-chamber vertical gas drainers, such as the utility model patent "Gas Drainer with Leak-proof Device in Drainage End Chamber" applied for by Jinan Laiwu Xinchuang Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. on September 8, 2020, with patent number CN202021941159.0, which has a leak-proof device in the drainage end chamber; such matching leak-proof devices have various structures, and the leak-proof effect varies. Leakage prevention devices without self-locking function have poor leakage prevention capabilities. Some sealing devices with self-locking function also have pressure regulating mechanisms, but the sealing effect of the pressure regulating mechanism is not ideal, especially under continuous high pressure. When automatically resealing after intermittent drainage under high pressure, there is still some leakage. For example, Guo Xiangyong's Chinese utility model patent application "Drainage stop valve for gas drainage facilities" (patent number CN200920021655.1) submitted on April 29, 2009; the sealing valve plate has a pressure regulating valve core, which widens the pressure range for automatic drainage function recovery, but the sealing effect is not ideal. It cannot effectively achieve and maintain the final self-locking function, nor can it automatically achieve the sealing function multiple times. When the gas pressure is high, the sealing device will still have a small amount of gas leakage, which means that the safety hazards in gas production and transportation cannot be completely resolved. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a leak-proof device for gas drainers with a labyrinth seal pressure regulating valve core, which is suitable for installation and use in gas drainers. The device has a labyrinth flow channel between the sealing plate and the sealing platform of the valve core to form a flexible seal, thereby improving the sealing and self-locking effect.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: The gas drainer uses a leak-proof device with a labyrinth seal pressure regulating valve core, comprising a cylinder, an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, a valve seat, a fixing plate, a float, and a centralizing block. The inlet pipe is fixedly installed on the upper side wall of the cylinder, the upper port of the cylinder is sealed with a sealing plate, and the outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the lower port of the cylinder. A float is installed inside the cylinder cavity, and a centralizing block is fixedly installed on the side wall of the float.

The feature is that a labyrinth seal pressure regulating valve core adapted to the valve seat is fixedly installed at the lower end of the float. The labyrinth seal pressure regulating valve core consists of a sealing plate, a connecting rod, a sealing platform, and a "U"-shaped... The device consists of a U-shaped bracket, a conical column, and screws. A sealing platform is fixed to the lower end of the connecting rod, and the upper end of the connecting rod is connected and fixed to the lower end of the float.

Detailed Implementation
[0015] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 This utility model is created.
[0016] This gas drainer uses a leak-proof device with a labyrinth seal pressure regulating valve core, including a cylinder 1, an inlet pipe 2, an outlet pipe 3, a valve seat 4, a fixing plate 8, a float 6, and a centralizing block 7. The inlet pipe 2 is fixedly installed on the upper side wall of the cylinder 1. The upper port of the cylinder 1 is sealed with a sealing plate, and the outlet pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the lower port of the cylinder 1. The float 6 is installed inside the cavity of the cylinder 1, and a centralizing block 7 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the float 6 to position the float 6 at the central axis of the inner cavity of the cylinder 1. A valve seat 4 is sealed and fixedly mounted on the bottom of the inner side wall by a fixing plate 8. The central axis of the valve seat 4 coincides with the central axis of the cylinder 1. The drain hole of the valve seat 4 is connected to the inner cavity of the cylinder 1 and the inner cavity of the outlet pipe 3, respectively. The float 6 is characterized by having a labyrinth seal pressure regulating valve core 5 adapted to the valve seat 4 fixedly mounted at its lower end. The labyrinth seal pressure regulating valve core 5 is composed of a sealing plate 51, a connecting rod 52, a sealing platform 53, a "U"-shaped bracket 54, a conical column 55, and a screw 56. A sealing platform 53 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the connecting rod 52. The upper end of the connecting rod 52 is connected and fixedly connected to the lower end of the float 6. An annular groove 57 is provided on the bottom plate of the sealing platform 53. The large end of the conical column 55 is connected and fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the sealing platform 53 on the inner side of the annular groove 57. A "U"-shaped bracket 54 is fixedly provided on the small end of the conical column 55 by screws 56. A central hole 58 is provided in the middle of the sealing plate 51. The central hole 58 of the sealing plate 51 is sleeved on the outside of the conical column 55. The sealing plate 51 is located between the sealing platform 53 and the "U"-shaped bracket 54. Between the "-shaped brackets 54, a conical protrusion ring 511 is fixedly provided on the upper plate of the sealing plate 51 located at the central hole 58. A silicone layer 512 is provided on the outer wall of the sealing plate 51 and the conical protrusion ring 511, and on the inner wall of the central hole 58. The inner diameter of the ring groove 57 is the same as the diameter of the large end of the conical column 55. The diameter of the central hole 58 is adapted to the inner diameter of the ring groove 57. The outer diameter of the lower end of the conical protrusion ring 511 is adapted to the outer diameter of the ring groove 57.
[0017] The central axes of the float 6, connecting rod 52, sealing platform 53, conical column 55 and valve seat 4 coincide.
[0018] After the present invention is installed in the drain chamber of the gas drainer, condensate enters the cylinder 1 cavity from the inlet pipe 2, flows into the outlet pipe 3 from the drain hole of the valve seat 4, and then flows into the drain chamber. When the gas pressure increases, the water level in the cylinder 1 cavity decreases, the float 6 descends, and the labyrinth seal pressure regulating valve core 5 descends accordingly. The bottom panel of the sealing plate 51 first seals the edge of the valve seat 4. Due to the elasticity of the silicone layer 512, a flexible seal is formed between the bottom panel of the sealing plate 51 and the valve seat 4. At this time, the sealing plate 51 is still suspended. Hanging on the "U"-shaped bracket 54, there is still a gap between the central hole 58 of the sealing plate 51 and the outer wall of the conical column 55. The condensate in the cylinder 1 cavity can still enter the outlet pipe 3 cavity through this gap. The float 6 will continue to descend until the annular groove 57 of the sealing platform 53 completely covers the conical protrusion ring 511. Due to the elasticity of the silicone layer 512 on the outside of the conical protrusion ring 511, the seal between the annular groove 57 and the conical protrusion ring 511 will be tighter, and the water seal effect will be better. At this time, the state of the labyrinth seal pressure regulating valve core 5 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown; when the gas pressure decreases, condensate enters the cylinder 1 cavity from the inlet pipe 2, causing the water level in the cylinder 1 cavity to rise, thereby causing the float 6 to rise, which in turn drives the sealing platform 53 and the conical column 55 to rise, causing the annular groove 57 to first disengage from the conical protrusion ring 511. The condensate in the cylinder 1 cavity flows into the outlet pipe 3 cavity from the gap between the central hole 58 of the sealing plate 51 and the outer wall of the conical column 55, reducing the sealing pressure between the bottom plate of the sealing plate 51 and the valve seat 4. As the float 6 continues to rise, the sealing plate 51 is lifted by the "U"-shaped bracket 54, thereby opening the drain hole of the valve seat 4, and the condensate enters the drain end chamber, achieving the drainage requirements.
