Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of air compressors used in cigarette factories, and specifically relates to an air compressor sewage discharge device. Background Technology
[0002] An air compressor is a gas pressure generating device that converts prime mover mechanical energy into gas pressure energy. During the use of an air compressor, water will accumulate inside due to the temperature difference between hot and cold, and the water will contain dirt and other contaminants. If the water and dirt cannot be effectively drained, it will affect other internal components of the air compressor and the overall service life of the air compressor. Therefore, every air compressor is equipped with a drainage mechanism.
[0003] A utility model patent with publication number CN219061935U discloses an air compressor drain device. This device integrates the drain mechanism with the air compressor during installation. However, because the threaded rod drives the rotating block to move up and down within the vertical pipe, the pipe structure becomes unstable during draining. The up-and-down movement of the air compressor also makes the pipe joints prone to cracking. Therefore, designing an air compressor drain device that effectively buffers the up-and-down movement of the air compressor has become a pressing technical problem for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an air compressor drain device, which includes an inner cylinder 3, an outer cylinder 2, a buffer mechanism 4, and a drain pipe 5. The upper end of the inner cylinder 3 is connected to the drain port of the air compressor 1. The outer cylinder 2 is sleeved outside the inner cylinder. The buffer mechanism 4 is disposed between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder. The buffer mechanism includes two buffer collars 401, a connecting rod 403, an elastic element 405, and a handle 406. The two buffer collars are respectively sleeved on the upper part of the inner cylinder, and the two buffer elements 405 are connected to the outer cylinder. The left and right ends of the punch collar are connected by insert rods 402 respectively; the left and right sides of the inner wall of the outer cylinder are respectively provided with side plates 404 opposite to the left and right ends of the buffer collar; one end of the connecting rod is connected to the insert rod, and the other end of the connecting rod passes through the vertical elongated hole on the outer cylinder and is connected to the handle; the elastic element is provided between the upper end of the side plate and the connecting rod; a sewage discharge mechanism is provided in the inner cylinder, the sewage discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the inner cylinder, and a sewage discharge valve is provided on the sewage discharge pipe.
[0031] The air compressor drain device provided in this embodiment of the utility model utilizes a buffer mechanism set between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder to effectively buffer the up-and-down swaying of the inner cylinder with the air compressor during the draining process. This reduces the wear at the connection between the inner cylinder and the air compressor, making the connection less prone to breakage and improving reliability.
[0032] Furthermore, the sewage discharge mechanism 7 includes a sewage discharge motor 701, a screw 702, a slider 703, and a scraper 704. The sewage discharge motor 701 is located at the bottom of the sewage discharge pipe. The lower end of the screw is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the sewage discharge motor, and the upper end of the screw vertically penetrates into the inner cylinder. The slider is threaded onto the screw, and the scraper is located on the slider. One end of the scraper away from the slider is in contact with the inner wall of the inner cylinder. Using this design, by starting the sewage discharge motor 701, the screw 702 rotates, causing the slider to move up and down along the screw. The scraper moves up and down with the slider, using the scraper 704 to scrape off the dirt on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 3, preventing dirt residue from affecting sewage discharge efficiency. Simultaneously, the downward movement of the scraper 704 can squeeze the dirt, allowing it to be quickly discharged into the sewage discharge pipe 5, improving sewage discharge efficiency.
[0033] Specifically, a sewage exhaust fan 9 and a filter screen 10 are installed inside the left end of the sewage discharge pipe, with the filter screen 10 located between the sewage exhaust fan and the screw. Using this design, starting the sewage exhaust fan 9 discharges the dirt through the sewage discharge pipe 5, thereby improving sewage discharge efficiency and preventing blockage of the sewage discharge pipe. It is understood that the upper end of the inner cylinder can extend into the air compressor, and the inner cylinder can be detachably connected to the sewage discharge port of the air compressor for easy disassembly and replacement. A sealing ring can be installed between the inner cylinder and the inner wall of the sewage discharge port, and a sealing ring is also installed at the mating point between the inner and outer cylinders to enhance the sealing effect.
[0034] Furthermore, the outer cylinder is provided with an inspection port, and an inspection door 8 is detachably connected to the inspection port, so that the internal components can be conveniently inspected regularly by opening the inspection door 8, preventing the phenomenon of parts failure affecting the efficiency of sewage discharge.
[0035] Preferably, one side of the inspection door 8 is hinged to the inspection port, and the other side of the inspection door is snapped to the inspection port, thereby conveniently realizing the detachable connection between the inspection door and the inspection port of the outer cylinder.
[0036] Specifically, the elastic element 405 is a spring, which makes the structure of the elastic element 405 relatively simple.
[0037] The general usage process of the air compressor sewage discharge device provided in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows:
[0038] During installation, the upper end of the inner cylinder 3 is inserted into the air compressor 1, and the buffer collar 401 is placed on the outer surface of the inner cylinder 3. In this way, the elastic element and the rubber buffering characteristics of the buffer collar 401 can buffer the shaking of the inner cylinder during sewage discharge.
[0039] Meanwhile, since the two buffer collars 401 are fixedly installed by the insertion rod 402, and the outer cylinder 2 is provided with a vertical elongated hole, when disassembly is required, hold the handle 406 to drive the connecting rod 403 to lift upwards. The connecting rod 403 drives the insertion rod 402 to separate from the hole on the buffer collar below for insertion rod insertion, thereby completing the disassembly between the two buffer collars 401.
[0040] When maintenance is required, the buffer mechanism 4 can be repaired by opening the maintenance door 8. When sewage discharge is required, the wastewater and impurities generated during the use of the air compressor 1 enter the inner cylinder 3. Open the sewage discharge valve 6, and then start the sewage discharge fan 9 to discharge the stains through the sewage discharge pipe 5. At the same time, the sewage discharge motor 701 can be started to drive the screw 702 to rotate, so that the slider drives the scraper to move up and down along the screw. The scraper 704 is used to scrape off the stains on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 3 to avoid the stains remaining and affecting the sewage discharge efficiency. At the same time, the scraper 704 can be used to squeeze the stains downward, so that the stains can be discharged more quickly through the sewage discharge pipe 5.
[0041] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
