Description

Technical Field

[0002] The air-water separator in an overhead crane air compressor is a key piece of equipment in the overhead crane compressed air system, installed at the rear end of the air compressor. Its main function is to separate moisture, oil, and other impurities from the compressed air, making the output compressed air purer and drier. Through a special structure and principle, it utilizes centrifugal force and gravity settling to separate water vapor, oil droplets, and other impurities mixed in the compressed air from the air and accumulate them at the bottom. This ensures that downstream pneumatic equipment can operate stably in a good air source environment, extends equipment life, and avoids malfunctions and damage caused by impurities.

[0003] The condensate separated by the existing overhead crane air compressor's steam-water separator can only be drained manually by personnel opening the drain valve when they board the crane, which is inconvenient.

[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] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: an air compressor drainage device, comprising a water storage mechanism 1 and a drainage mechanism 2, wherein the drainage mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water storage mechanism 1.

[0024] The drainage mechanism 2 includes a detection unit and a discharge unit. The detection unit is fixedly connected to the inside of the water storage mechanism 1, and the discharge unit is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water storage mechanism 1.

[0025] The water storage mechanism 1 consists of a connecting pipe 101, a cover plate 102, a water storage box 103, a submersible box 104, a submersible groove 105, and a threaded interface 106. The cover plate 102 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting pipe 101, the water storage box 103 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the cover plate 102, the submersible box 104 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water storage box 103, the submersible groove 105 is opened inside the submersible box 104, and the threaded interface 106 is located at the top of the water storage box 103, playing a major load-bearing role.

[0026] The detection unit consists of an actuator 201, a power supply 202, a water level detection rod 203, and a water flow detection port 204. The actuator 201 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the submersible box 104, and the power supply 202 is fixedly connected to the side of the actuator 201. The water level detection rod 203 is fixedly connected to the inside of the submersible box 104 and extends into the water storage box 103 to facilitate the detection of the water level inside the water storage box 103. The water flow detection port 204 is distributed on the surface of the water level detection rod 203 and serves to detect the water level. When the water level exceeds the limit, the drain port 215 can be automatically opened to discharge the water. The discharge unit consists of a drain pipe 211, a motor 212, a drain outlet 213, a rotary valve 214, and a drain outlet 215. The drain pipe 211 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the submersible box 104. On the side of the submersible box 104, the motor 212 is fixedly connected to the other side of the drain pipe 211. The water level detection rod 203 and the motor 212 are electrically connected to the actuator 201, so that the water level detection rod 203 can send a water level signal, causing the actuator 201 to drive the motor 212 to automatically drain water. The drain outlet 213 is fixedly connected to the surface of the drain pipe 211. The rotary valve 214 is rotatably connected to the inside of the drain pipe 211 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 212, so that the motor 212 can control the rotary valve 214 to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of drainage. The drain outlet 215 is opened on the surface of the rotary valve 214. The drain outlet 215 and the drain outlet 213 are located on the same parallel line, so that when the drain outlet 215 and the drain outlet 213 coincide, the water will be automatically discharged, thus achieving the purpose of automatic drainage.

[0027] During operation, the moisture-containing gas generated by the air compressor enters through the connecting pipe 101, flows through the cover plate 102 into the water storage box 103, and the water gradually accumulates inside the water storage box 103. The water level detection rod 203 extends into the water storage box 103, and the water level detection port 204 on its surface can detect the water level in real time. The power supply 202 supplies power to the actuator 201 and the water level detection rod 203 to ensure the normal operation of the detection function. When the water level in the water storage box 103 exceeds the set height, the water level detection rod 203 sends a water level signal to the actuator 201. After receiving the signal, the actuator 201 drives the electrically connected motor 212 to operate. The motor 212 drives the rotary valve 214, which is fixedly connected to it, to rotate inside the drain pipe 211. Since the drain outlet 215 and the drain outlet 213 are initially on a parallel line, the rotation of the rotary valve 214 causes the drain outlet 215 and the drain outlet 213 to coincide, and the water is automatically discharged from the drain outlet 213. When the water level drops to a certain level, the water level detection rod 203 transmits the signal to the actuator 201 again. The actuator 201 controls the motor 212 to reverse or stop, so that the rotary valve 214 rotates until the drain outlet 215 and the drain outlet 213 are misaligned, and the drainage stops.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
