Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial technology, specifically to a Roots blower vent valve. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industry, Roots blowers, as a type of positive displacement gas conveying equipment, are widely used in many industries such as wastewater treatment, pneumatic conveying, and aquaculture. The vent valve, as a key safety component of the Roots blower, automatically opens to release pressure when the internal pressure exceeds a set threshold, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the equipment.
[0003] Traditional Roots blower vent valves typically employ a fixed pressure threshold design, meaning the pressure relief pressure is pre-set at the factory and cannot be dynamically adjusted based on the actual operating conditions of the Roots blower. In actual use, the operating conditions of the Roots blower can change due to variations in the conveyed medium, pipeline resistance, ambient temperature, and other factors. When operating conditions deviate from the design conditions, vent valves with fixed pressure thresholds may prematurely release pressure or fail to release pressure in a timely manner. This not only reduces equipment operating efficiency but also poses a risk of equipment damage or even safety accidents due to uncontrolled pressure. Utility Model Content

[0022] 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.
[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Reference Figures 1-4The Roots blower vent valve includes a vent valve 1, a connecting pipe 2 connected to the vent valve 1, and a connector 22 connected to the connecting pipe 2. It also includes a pressure relief mechanism, comprising a tank 3 connected to the connecting pipe 2. A fixing cover 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank 3. A rubber sealing block 5 is installed inside the fixing cover 4, cooperating with the fixing cover 4. A connecting block 6 is fixedly connected to the rubber sealing block 5, and a first sliding plate 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 6. The first sliding plate 7 slides against the inner wall of the tank 3. The tank body 3 has a threaded hole, and a screw 8 is threaded into the threaded hole. A first knob 9 is connected to the screw 8. The other end of the screw 8 extends into the tank body 3 and is rotatably connected to a second sliding plate 10. Multiple springs 11 are connected between the second sliding plate 10 and the first sliding plate 7. Multiple vents 12 are provided on the tank body 3. When the pressure in the pipeline rises abnormally, gas enters the tank body 3, pushes the rubber sealing block 5 and connected components to move, compresses the springs 11, and the gas is discharged from the vents 12, thus achieving pressure relief. By rotating the first knob 9 to adjust the position of the screw 8, the preload of the spring 11 can be changed, thereby flexibly adjusting the pressure relief threshold to adapt to different working conditions. A pressure gauge 19 is installed on the connecting pipe 2 to display the gas pressure in the connecting pipe 2 in real time. The operator can judge the operating status of the Roots blower based on this and promptly detect abnormal pressure conditions so as to take corresponding measures. Multiple guide holes are opened on the second slide plate 10, and guide rods 20 are slidably connected in the guide holes. One end of the guide rod 20 passes through the spring 11 and is fixedly connected to the first slide plate 7. During the pressure relief process, the extension and contraction of the spring 11 may cause the first slide plate 7 and the second slide plate 10 to deviate. The guide rod 20 can ensure that the first slide plate 7 and the second slide plate 10 slide smoothly along a straight line, ensuring that the spring 11 is evenly stressed, and improving the stability and reliability of the pressure relief mechanism. A dustproof ring 21 is fitted on the tank body 3, which can effectively block dust and other impurities in the surrounding environment from entering the tank body 3, avoiding the accumulation of impurities that affect the normal sliding and sealing performance of the internal components of the pressure relief mechanism, reducing wear and the probability of failure, and improving the stability and reliability of equipment operation.
[0025] It should also be noted that the vent valve 1 includes a spherical shell 13, on which two fixed pipes 14 are connected. One of the fixed pipes 14 is connected to the connecting pipe 2. A cylinder 15 is connected to the spherical shell 13. A rotating rod 16 is rotatably connected inside the cylinder 15. A second knob 17 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 16. The other end of the rotating rod 16 extends into the spherical shell 13 and is connected to a ball 18. The ball 18 fits into the inner wall of the spherical shell 13. A through vent is opened on the ball 18, which is connected to the two fixed pipes 14. Rotating the second knob 17 can drive the ball 18 to rotate. When the vent is aligned with the two fixed pipes 14, the valve opens to allow gas to flow; when it is not aligned, the valve closes.
[0026] In summary, the working principle and process of the Roots blower vent valve are as follows: First, install the device to the required position via connector 22. Then, adjust the position of the screw 8 by rotating the first knob 9. Rotating the first knob 9 clockwise pushes the screw 8 into the tank 3, compressing the spring 11 and increasing its preload, thus raising the pressure relief threshold. Rotating the first knob 9 counterclockwise reduces the preload of the spring 11, decreasing the pressure relief threshold. When the pressure in the pipeline abnormally rises above the preset pressure relief threshold, gas enters the tank 3, pushing the rubber sealing block 5, connecting block 6, and first sliding plate 7 to overcome the preload of the spring 11. The spring 11 is compressed, and the gas is discharged from the exhaust port 12 on the tank 3, achieving pressure relief.
[0027] The above embodiments merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
