Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline condensate treatment technology, specifically a condensate diversion device for heating pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] The primary function of steam heating pipelines is to transport the heat energy generated by boilers to users' heating equipment, such as heaters and industrial heating equipment, to meet people's daily and production needs. During transportation, steam condenses into water, forming condensate. This not only affects the quality of the steam but can also block flow and even cause water hammer. Therefore, drainage and condensate collection facilities must be considered in the design of steam pipelines to ensure their normal operation.

[0003] In response, utility model patent CN213930446U discloses a condensate drainage device for a centralized heating system, relating to the field of condensate treatment technology. The device includes a heating pipe, a drainage mechanism, and a waste heat recovery mechanism. The drainage channel is connected to one side of the heating pipe, and its end is connected to a recovery box. A support is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the drainage channel, a sleeve is fixedly connected to the top of the support, a baffle is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod, one end of the movable plate is hinged to the top of the water collection chamber, and a float is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod. This utility model, through its designed drainage mechanism, allows condensate to enter the water collection chamber. A first water pump causes the condensate to circulate within a spiral tube, transferring heat to the cold water pipe and then supplying it to the heating system. Finally, a second water pump extracts the condensate, ensuring full utilization of the heat in the condensate, reducing energy consumption in the heating system, and protecting the heating pipe.

[0004] However, the diversion device in the above-mentioned patent application still has some problems: when the heating pipe is transporting steam, condensate will be generated in the entire circular cross-section of the inner wall of the heating pipe. When diverting the condensate, it is necessary to wait for the condensate to accumulate and fall off naturally. The continuous accumulation of condensate not only affects the energy consumption of the heating system, but also makes the diversion operation more complicated. Utility Model Content

[0022] To more clearly illustrate the overall concept of this utility model, a detailed description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model proposes a condensate diversion device for heating pipelines, including a receiving seat 1, a striking mechanism 2 provided on one side of the receiving seat 1, and an installation mechanism 3 provided on both sides of the inner wall of the receiving seat 1.

[0024] A guide bend 4 is fixedly installed in the connecting hole at one end of the receiving seat 1. A solenoid valve 5 is installed at one end of the guide bend 4. A connecting pipe 6 is installed at the top of the solenoid valve 5. The top of the connecting pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the inner connecting bucket 7. The striking mechanism 2 includes a support plate 201. An electric cylinder 202 is installed on one side of the support plate 201. A drive rack 203 is fixedly installed at the output end of the electric cylinder 202. A sector gear 204 is rotatably connected to the top of one side of the support plate 201. The drive rack 203 meshes with the sector gear 204. A connecting shaft 205 is fixedly installed at one end of the sector gear 204. A connecting sleeve 206 is fixedly provided, and a movable rod 208 is inserted inside the connecting sleeve 206. A rubber striking ball 209 is fixedly provided at the top of the movable rod 208. A fixed screw hole is opened on one side of the connecting sleeve 206 and a fixed knob 207 is threadedly connected to it. A limit slider is slidably connected in a limit groove opened on one side of the support plate 201. One end of the limit slider is fixedly connected to one side of the drive rack 203. A U-shaped groove is opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the receiving seat 1. The inner wall of the U-shaped groove is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the outlet bend 4. Multiple evenly distributed one-way valves are fixedly connected to the top surface of the outlet bend 4.

[0025] The mounting mechanism 3 includes a U-shaped bracket 301. A T-shaped groove 302 is provided at the top of the U-shaped bracket 301. Two T-shaped sliders 303 are slidably connected in the T-shaped groove 302. An arc-shaped clamping rod 304 is fixedly provided at the top of each T-shaped slider 303. Two fixed long bolts 305 are provided between each pair of opposite arc-shaped clamping rods 304. Multiple evenly distributed adjustment holes 306 are provided on the surface of each arc-shaped clamping rod 304. The two sides of the outer wall of each fixed long bolt 305 are respectively inserted and connected to the two corresponding adjustment holes 306. The electric cylinder 202 is electrically connected to an external power supply through an external electric cylinder switch.

[0026] Working principle: When using this diversion device, the operator makes a hole at the bottom of the heating pipe, welds the top of the inner hopper 7 to the hole, removes the fixing bolt 305 in the installation mechanism 3, moves the arc-shaped clamp 304, and the T-shaped slider 303 slides in the T-shaped groove 302 opened in the U-shaped bracket 301. The distance between the two arc-shaped clamps 304 can be adjusted according to the pipe diameter. At the same time, the two fixing bolts 305 are placed above and below the pipe respectively, and the fixing bolts 305 are inserted into the appropriate adjustment hole 306 to complete the installation and fixation of the diversion device.

[0027] In the striking mechanism 2, the operator adjusts the movable rod 208 according to the position of the heating pipe, loosens the fixing knob 207, and moves the movable rod 208 to ensure that the rubber striking ball 209 can contact the heating pipe. The electric cylinder 202 on the support plate 201 drives the drive rack 203 to reciprocate, which drives the sector gear 204 to rotate, thereby causing the movable rod 208 to swing and drive the rubber striking ball 209 to strike the heating pipe. The resulting vibration causes condensate to drip from the inner wall of the heating pipe and fall into the inner hopper 7. By opening the solenoid valve 5, the condensate can be discharged through the outlet bend 4.

[0028] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art.
