Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stainless steel valve box technology, and in particular to a stainless steel valve box. Background Technology

[0002] Stainless steel valve boxes are enclosures made of stainless steel and are mainly used to install and protect valves, pipe fittings, and related control systems. They play an important role in the industrial field. In the field of industrial fluid control, stainless steel valve boxes are widely used as integrated protection devices for valves, pipes, and control components in petrochemical, shipbuilding, and energy power industries. However, existing stainless steel valve boxes have significant defects in heat dissipation performance, making it difficult to meet the needs of use under complex working conditions.

[0003] Because stainless steel has a low thermal conductivity and most valve boxes adopt a closed structure design, when internal valves are frequently opened and closed, actuators are continuously running, or fluid is transported and heat is generated, the heat cannot be dissipated in time, causing the temperature inside the box to rise continuously. When the temperature reaches a certain level, the high temperature will accelerate the aging of the seals, shorten the service life of the rubber seals, and thus cause the risk of media leakage. Therefore, it has certain limitations. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Example

[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0022] A stainless steel valve box includes a valve box mechanism 1. The valve box mechanism 1 includes a stainless steel box body 101, a first air inlet slot 102, and a second air inlet slot 103. The first air inlet slot 102 is located on the front of the top of the stainless steel box body 101, and the second air inlet slot 103 is located on the back of the top of the stainless steel box body 101. A dehumidification structure 2 is installed on the top of the stainless steel box body 101. A door 3 is provided on the front of the valve box mechanism 1. A temperature sensor 4 and a controller are fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the stainless steel box body 101. An airflow guiding mechanism 5 is installed on the side of the dehumidification structure 2. The part is equipped with a receiving structure 6. This utility model adopts a dual-mode ventilation and heat dissipation. Under normal working conditions, air forms natural convection through the air inlet 203, the first guide cavity 201, and the first air inlet slot 102 to achieve basic heat dissipation. When the temperature sensor 4 detects that the internal temperature of the stainless steel box 101 exceeds the set threshold, it drives the suction fan 501 to start automatically, introduces air into the second guide cavity 202, dries the air after it is dried by the desiccant placed on the hollow mesh 602, and then sends it into the interior of the stainless steel box 101 through the second air inlet slot 103 to avoid the humid air from accelerating the aging of the seals.

[0023] In this embodiment, the dehumidification structure 2 includes a first guide cavity 201, a second guide cavity 202, an air inlet 203, and a chute 204. The second guide cavity 202 is located on the front side inside the first guide cavity 201, and the air inlet 203 is located on the back side inside the first guide cavity 201. The air inlet 203 is opened on the front side of the first guide cavity 201, and the chute 204 is opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the second guide cavity 202. The position of the first air inlet chute 102 corresponds to the position of the first guide cavity 201, and the position of the second air inlet chute 103 corresponds to the position of the second guide cavity 202. The first guide cavity 201 and the second guide cavity 202 form parallel air ducts, so that the natural ventilation and forced heat dissipation dehumidification modes do not interfere with each other, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0024] In this embodiment, the door 3 includes a stainless steel switch door body 301, a viewing window 302, and a heat dissipation groove 303. The stainless steel switch door body 301 is hinged to one side of the front of the stainless steel housing 101. The viewing window 302 is embedded in the top of the stainless steel switch door body 301. The heat dissipation groove 303 is opened at the bottom of the surface of the stainless steel switch door body 301. The stainless steel switch door body 301 is hinged to the front of the stainless steel housing 101 using high-strength hinges to ensure that it is not easy to loosen with frequent opening and closing. With the viewing window 302, the operator can observe the status of the internal valves in real time without opening the stainless steel switch door body 301, reducing the risk of moisture intrusion caused by frequent opening of the housing. The bottom heat dissipation groove 303 adopts a honeycomb hollow design, which can still form a natural convection channel when closed, assisting in the dissipation of internal heat. In conjunction with the top air intake structure, it improves the overall heat dissipation effect.

[0025] In this embodiment, the wind-driven airflow guiding mechanism 5 includes a suction fan 501 and a guide pipe 502. The suction fan 501 is fixedly installed on the back of the first guide cavity 201. The guide pipe 502 is installed at the output end of the suction fan 501 and passes through the interior of the second guide cavity 202. The temperature sensor 4 is electrically connected to the controller. The suction fan 501 is electrically connected to an external power supply through the controller. The suction fan 501 delivers external air to the interior of the second guide cavity 202 through the guide pipe 502, which can realize the rapid switching between natural convection and forced ventilation, and achieve a rapid heat dissipation effect.

[0026] In this embodiment, the receiving structure 6 includes a receiving frame 601, a perforated mesh 602, a slider 603, a sealing gasket 604, and a handle 605. The slider 603 is fixedly connected to the bottom of both sides of the perforated mesh 602. The perforated mesh 602 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the receiving frame 601. The sealing gasket 604 is fixedly installed on one side of the receiving frame 601. The handle 605 is fixedly installed in the middle of one side of the sealing gasket 604. The receiving frame 601 and the sealing gasket 604 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the adjacent slide groove 204. By pulling the handle 605, the sealing gasket 604 and the perforated mesh 602 slide in the slide groove 204, so that the receiving frame 601 discharges material, which facilitates the replacement or addition of the desiccant placed on the perforated mesh 602. At the same time, the sealing gasket 604 ensures the sealing of the second guide cavity 202, which can effectively prevent moisture backflow.

[0027] Working principle: Valves and other components installed inside the stainless steel enclosure 101 are protected by the stainless steel enclosure 101. When the stainless steel switch door body 301 is closed, the internal components of the stainless steel enclosure 101 can be monitored daily through the viewing window 302. The built-in temperature sensor 4 continuously collects the internal temperature data of the valve box mechanism 1 and transmits the signal to the controller. When the internal temperature is lower than the set threshold, external air flows into the first guide cavity 201 through the air inlet 203, and then enters the stainless steel enclosure 101 through the first air inlet slot 102. After mixing with the internal hot air, it is discharged through 303, forming an air circulation to meet the daily heat dissipation needs. When the temperature sensor 4 detects that the temperature exceeds the threshold, the controller immediately starts the suction fan 501. The fan draws outside air into the second guide cavity 202. When the air flows through the receiving frame 601, it is quickly dehumidified by the desiccant placed on the perforated mesh 602. The dried air is then sent into the valve box through the second air inlet slot 103 to accelerate heat exchange. The hot air is then discharged through the heat dissipation slot 303 to achieve air circulation, thereby reducing the temperature inside the stainless steel box 101 and improving the heat dissipation effect.
