Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve technology, and in particular to a self-cleaning drain valve for circulating water pipelines. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production, building water supply and drainage, and municipal pipe networks, circulating water systems play crucial roles in cooling and transportation. Because circulating water often contains impurities such as silt, suspended solids, and microorganisms, these impurities easily accumulate in the pipes, leading to blockages, increased flow resistance, and even equipment malfunctions. Therefore, it is necessary to install drain valves to filter and discharge the circulating water. Self-cleaning drain valves for circulating water pipes, as an important component of circulating water systems, can effectively intercept and promptly discharge impurities, playing a vital role in maintaining stable system operation and extending equipment lifespan.
[0003] Currently, traditional circulating water pipeline drain valves typically employ welding, flange connections, or bolt fastening methods for their connection structure. Welding connections require welding equipment to fuse the pipe and valve components together at high temperatures. Flange connections involve installing flanges at the ends of the pipe and valve, securing them together with bolts and gaskets. Bolt fastening methods directly achieve fixation by using multiple bolts passing through the connection point. The technical principle behind these connection structures is to create a stable connection channel between the drain valve and the pipeline through physical fixation, ensuring the normal transport and discharge of water.
[0004] However, once the welded connection is completed, it is difficult to disassemble. If the internal components malfunction, the welded parts need to be destroyed during maintenance, which not only makes maintenance difficult but also causes irreversible damage to the pipeline. Although flange connections and bolt fastening methods are detachable, after long-term operation, the bolts are prone to rust and the flange gaskets are prone to aging due to factors such as water pressure fluctuations and corrosion. This makes the disassembly process complicated and cumbersome, consuming a lot of manpower and time, and making it difficult to quickly inspect the internal components of the drain valve. Therefore, a self-cleaning drain valve for circulating water pipelines is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

This solves the problem that the filter plate of the traditional drain valve is difficult to disassemble and clean quickly, which leads to the accumulation of impurities inside the drain valve and affects the filtration effect. The above technical solution improves the efficiency of disassembling and cleaning the filter plate. Attached Figure Description

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The filter assembly includes a filter plate 14, which is used to intercept suspended solids, silt, and other impurities in the circulating water. A filter frame 12 is fixedly connected inside the connecting pipe 3. The filter frame 12 provides an installation frame for the filter plate 14, defines the installation position of the filter plate 14, and guides the water flow evenly through the filter plate 14 to ensure the filtration effect. A sealing gasket 13 is fixedly connected inside the filter frame 12 to prevent water from leaking out from the gap between the filter plate 14 and the filter frame 12. The sidewall of the filter plate 14 is slidably connected to the filter frame 12 and the sealing gasket 13. Inside, a fixing plate 15 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the filter plate 14. The fixing plate 15 is used to cooperate with the locking block 18 to fix the filter plate 14. A connecting frame 16 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the filter frame 12.

A handle 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the locking block 18. The side wall of the handle 19 is slidably connected inside the connecting frame 16. The locking block 18 can be mounted on the connecting frame 16. The filter plate 14 is fixed by sliding inside the fixing plate 15. A handle 19 is fixed to the side wall of the locking block 18, allowing the operator to control the movement of the locking block 18 by pulling the handle 19, enabling quick assembly and disassembly of the filter plate 14 for easy cleaning and replacement. A connecting rod 20 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the handle 19, and the side wall of the connecting rod 20 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 17. A second spring 21 is sleeved on the side wall of the connecting rod 20, with one end fixedly connected to the side wall of the handle 19 and the other end fixedly connected to the side wall of the sleeve 17. A third spring 22 is fixedly connected internally. The side wall of the third spring 22 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting rod 20. One end of the connecting rod 20 is connected to the handle 19, and the other end slides inside the sleeve 17, driving the locking block 18 to move. A second spring 21 is sleeved on the side wall of the connecting rod 20. One end is connected to the handle 19, and the other end is connected to the sleeve 17, providing a reset spring force for the locking block 18 and maintaining the locking force of the locking block 18 on the fixing plate 15. The third spring 22 is installed inside the sleeve 17 to assist the second spring 21, enhance the stability of the locking block 18, and prevent the filter plate 14 from loosening.
[0036] Working principle: During installation, first align the openings of the fixed pipe 2 and the connecting pipe 3, then fit the rotating connecting fixed ring 4 and fixed ring 5 onto the side walls of the two pipes. At this time, pull the lever 10 to drive the locking pin 9 to slide in the sliding frame 7, so that it is completely retracted into the fixed frame 8. During this process, the first spring 11 is compressed and stores force. After the locking pin 9 is released from the limit of the sliding frame 7, push the fixed ring 4 to make the fixed block 6 slide along the sliding frame 7 to the predetermined position. Release the lever 10, and the first spring 11 releases its elastic force to push the locking pin 9 into the mating hole of the sliding frame 7 and the fixed block 6 at the same time, so as to realize the stable connection between the fixed pipe 2 and the connecting pipe 3.
[0037] After circulating water flows into the connecting pipe 3, it is guided by the filter frame 12 to flow evenly to the filter plate 14. The filter plate 14 intercepts suspended solids, silt and other impurities in the water to achieve solid-liquid separation. The sealing gasket 13 ensures that all water flows through the filter plate 14 to ensure the filtration effect. When it is necessary to clean or replace the filter plate 14, pull the handle 19 to move the locking block 18 into the connecting frame 16, so that the connecting rod 20 squeezes the second spring 21 and the third spring 22, causing the locking block 18 to exit into the fixing plate 15, and then the filter plate 14 can be taken out for cleaning or replacement.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
