Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical technology, and more specifically to an anti-condensate component for a reciprocating pump casing. Background Technology
[0002] A reciprocating pump, also known as a reciprocating plunger pump, is installed inside a housing with an internal cavity. An inspection port is provided on the housing.
[0003] The inspection hole serves two purposes:
[0004] Firstly, the water vapor generated at the reciprocating pump can be stably discharged through the inspection hole;
[0005] Secondly, the inspection port allows for a direct view of the internal condition of the reciprocating pump, thus enabling timely identification of whether the pump is operating in a suitable environment.
[0006] The inspection port of existing reciprocating pump housings is usually protected by a cover plate with a grid pattern. Water vapor generated during operation may condense at the cover plate. This condensate can enter the plunger of the reciprocating pump and cause emulsification of the working oil, ultimately leading to the reciprocating pump malfunctioning. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by providing an anti-condensate component for a reciprocating pump casing that effectively prevents condensate backflow and has a compact structure.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model can be implemented through the following technical solutions:
[0009] A condensate protection assembly for a reciprocating pump housing, wherein the reciprocating pump is installed inside a housing with an internal cavity, characterized in that the condensate protection assembly includes a cover, a fan, and an inspection hole on the upper part of the housing. The cover has an internal cavity and an opening at the bottom. The top of the cover is an inclined guide surface. One end of the cover is hinged to the housing. In the initial state, the cover is fastened to the upper part of the housing and the inner cavity of the cover communicates with the inspection hole of the housing. The upper part of the cover has a through exhaust hole, and the fan is fixedly connected to the exhaust hole.
[0010] In the aforementioned anti-condensation assembly of the reciprocating pump casing, when the cover is fastened to the vent, the angle between the aforementioned guide surface and the horizontal plane is 15-40 degrees.
[0011] In the anti-condensate assembly of the reciprocating pump casing, the exhaust port and the corresponding fan form an exhaust unit, and there are several exhaust units.
[0012] In the aforementioned anti-condensation assembly for the reciprocating pump casing, the cross-section of the cover is a right-angled triangle, and the right-angled bend of the cover is hinged to the casing.
[0013] In the aforementioned anti-condensation assembly for the reciprocating pump casing, the casing has a recessed drainage groove, and the lowest point of the guide surface of the aforementioned cover is located above the drainage groove.
[0014] In the aforementioned anti-condensate assembly for the reciprocating pump casing, the drainage trough includes a first drainage section horizontally disposed on the upper part of the casing and a second drainage section vertically disposed on the side of the casing, wherein the first drainage section and the second drainage section are connected.
[0015] In the aforementioned anti-condensate assembly for the reciprocating pump casing, the bottom of the casing is contact part one with a long right-angled side, and the side of the casing is contact part two with a short right-angled side. In the initial state, contact part one is in surface contact with the casing.
[0016] In the aforementioned anti-condensation assembly of the reciprocating pump casing, when the cover swings around its hinge, the second contact part can maintain surface contact with the upper part of the casing.
[0017] In the aforementioned anti-condensate assembly for the reciprocating pump casing, the width of the cover matches the width of the casing, and several exhaust units are evenly distributed along the width direction of the cover.
[0018] In the aforementioned anti-condensation assembly of the reciprocating pump casing, a flexible contact pad is also fixedly connected to the upper part of the casing. When the cover is flipped over, the aforementioned contact part two abuts against the contact pad.
[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the anti-condensate component of this reciprocating pump housing not only prevents condensate from flowing back to the reciprocating pump, but also provides sufficient space for the fan to be connected. During the operation of the fan, a large amount of steam generated at the reciprocating pump can be discharged. In addition, the condensate formed at the housing can be guided to the outside of the housing, and its stability is relatively high.
[0020] Of course, the cover is hinged to the chassis, so the inspection hole can be opened stably after the cover swings, which makes it convenient for maintenance personnel to intuitively check the operation of the reciprocating pump, and has high practical value. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solution of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the reciprocating pump is installed inside a housing 1, which has an internal cavity.
[0028] The anti-condensate assembly of this reciprocating pump casing includes a cover 2, a fan 3, and an inspection hole 1a on the upper part of the casing 1. The cover 2 has a hollow interior and an opening at the bottom. The top of the cover 2 is an inclined guide surface 2d. One end of the cover 2 is hinged to the casing 1. In the initial state, the cover 2 is fastened to the upper part of the casing 1 and the inner cavity of the cover 2 communicates with the inspection hole 1a of the casing 1. The upper part of the cover 2 has a through exhaust hole 2a, and the fan 3 is fixedly connected to the exhaust hole 2a.
[0029] In the initial state, the cover 2 is fastened to the upper part of the chassis 1, and the cover 2 covers the inspection hole 1a. This prevents debris from falling into the chassis 1.
[0030] During operation, a large amount of water vapor generated at the reciprocating pump is smoothly discharged through the exhaust port 2a on the casing 2. Because the fan 3 operates continuously during this process, most of the water vapor is stably discharged under the action of the fan 3.
[0031] A small portion of the steam condenses inside the casing 2. Since the guide surface 2d at the top of the casing 2 is inclined, the condensate slides down along the guide surface 2d to the outside of the housing 1, preventing condensate from entering the housing 1 and affecting the normal operation of the reciprocating pump.
[0032] When the cover 2 is fastened to the exhaust port 2a, the angle between the aforementioned guide surface 2d and the horizontal plane is 15 degrees. Depending on the actual situation, an angle of 30 degrees or 40 degrees is also feasible.
[0033] The aforementioned exhaust port 2a and the corresponding fan 3 form an exhaust unit, and the number of exhaust units is several.
[0034] Multiple exhaust units can effectively improve exhaust stability.
[0035] The cross-section of the cover 2 is a right-angled triangle, and the right-angled bend of the cover 2 is hinged to the chassis 1.
[0036] The chassis 1 has a recessed drainage groove 1b, and the lowest point of the guide surface 2d of the cover 2 is located above the drainage groove 1b.
[0037] The drainage trough 1b includes a drainage section one arranged horizontally on the upper part of the chassis 1 and a drainage section two arranged vertically on the side of the chassis 1, wherein the drainage section one and the drainage section two are connected.
[0038] The lowest point of the guide surface 2d is located above the drain trough 1b, so the condensate that slides down the guide surface 2d can smoothly enter the drain trough 1b.
[0039] The design of drainage section one and drainage section two ensures that condensate flows steadily from the top of the chassis to the side of the chassis, effectively preventing condensate from entering the chassis.
[0040] The bottom of the casing 2 is a contact part 2b with a long right angle side, and the side of the casing 2 is a contact part 2c with a short right angle side. In the initial state, the contact part 2b is in surface contact with the upper part of the chassis 1.
[0041] When the cover 2 swings around its hinge, the aforementioned contact part 2c can maintain surface contact with the upper part of the chassis 1.
[0042] Stable positioning can be achieved when contact part 2b contacts chassis 1 and when contact part 2c contacts chassis 1.
[0043] The width of the cover 2 matches the width of the chassis 1, and several exhaust units are evenly distributed along the width direction of the cover 2.
[0044] A flexible contact pad 4 is also fixedly connected to the upper part of the chassis 1. When the cover 2 is flipped over, the above-mentioned contact part 2c abuts against the contact pad 4.
[0045] The contact pad 4 is made of rubber. The contact pad 4 can prevent the contact part 2c of the cover 2 from making rigid contact with the outside of the chassis 1.
[0046] The anti-condensate component of this reciprocating pump housing not only prevents condensate from flowing back to the reciprocating pump, but the housing also provides sufficient space for the fan to be connected. During the operation of the fan, a large amount of steam generated at the reciprocating pump can be discharged. In addition, the condensate formed at the housing can be guided to the outside of the housing, which has high stability.
[0047] Of course, the cover is hinged to the chassis, so the inspection hole can be opened stably after the cover swings, which makes it convenient for maintenance personnel to intuitively check the operation of the reciprocating pump, and has high practical value.
[0048] The above-described technical solution of this utility model addresses the problem that existing technical solutions are too simplistic and provides a solution that is significantly different from existing technologies. The parts not covered in this application's technical solution are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.
[0049] The technical solutions in the above embodiments have clearly and completely described the content of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
