Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automatic water replenishment device for water seal of sintering ring cooler, specifically an automatic water replenishment device for water seal of sintering ring cooler. Background Technology
[0002] The sintering ring cooler is a large-scale air-cooled device that cools calcined pellets, which are at around 1150°C when they enter the cooler, to 60°C. After cooling, the airflow carries a large amount of heat energy and a large amount of pellet dust. If the sealing effect is not good, it will bring a large amount of secondary high-temperature dust, making the working environment in and around the ring cooler area extremely harsh. The service life of the ring cooler body and its auxiliary equipment will also be greatly shortened. Water sealing is a commonly used sealing method in ring coolers. It is necessary to ensure that there is enough water in the water seal tank to maintain a good sealing effect. The automatic water replenishment device plays a key role in this process.
[0003] The sealing method of sintering ring coolers is basically water-sealed. The internal pressure of the ring cooler varies greatly, and water is constantly consumed during operation. Initially, water was replenished manually. To free up manual water replenishment and monitoring, an automatic water replenishment system was adopted. The automatic water replenishment system uses a level gauge to detect the water level and then activates an electric water replenishment valve to replenish water. During use, the following problems were found: the level gauge must be set to activate the electric water replenishment valve at a low water level and stop at a high water level. Due to the surging water in the tank, the high and low water levels cannot be adjusted to a very small range. The level gauge always needs to be adjusted 80-100 mm between the high and low water levels. Due to the large adjustment range, sometimes when the internal pressure of the ring cooler is high and the water level in the tank is low, the seal fails. This is because the water in the tank is dirty, causing a layer of scale to coat the outside of the level gauge, resulting in inaccurate level detection. Inaccurate high and low water levels can also occur, leading to water overflow. The above-mentioned automatic water replenishment device has high investment costs, complex procedures, and requires professional technicians for adjustment and repair. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic water replenishment device for the water seal of a sintering ring cooler, which solves the problems of high investment costs, complex procedures, and the need to call professional technicians for adjustment and repair of traditional automatic water replenishment devices.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model is an automatic water replenishment device for water seal of sintering ring cooler, including a water tank, a water outlet pipe fixedly installed on the lower surface of the water tank, a water replenishment mechanism fixedly installed on the upper surface of the water tank, the water replenishment mechanism extending into the interior of the water tank, the water blocking end of the water replenishment mechanism being located inside the water tank, a filter fixedly installed on the upper surface of the water replenishment mechanism, and a connecting pipe fixedly installed at the input end of the filter.
[0007] Furthermore, the water replenishment mechanism includes a water replenishment pipe, which is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the water tank and extends into the interior of the water tank. A filter is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the water replenishment pipe, and an enlarged groove is provided at the end of the water replenishment pipe away from the filter.
[0008] Furthermore, the opposite surface of the enlarged groove is provided with a sliding groove, and the number of the sliding grooves is fixed at two.
[0009] Furthermore, a limiting plate is fixedly installed inside the water supply pipe, the limiting plate is positioned above the enlarged groove, and a sealing ring is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the limiting plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the water supply pipe is provided with a float fixing block inside, and a slider is fixedly installed inside the float fixing block. The two sliders are slidably connected to two sliding grooves respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, a float is fixedly installed inside the float fixing block, and the float abuts against the sealing ring.
[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] (1) When the water level in the water tank drops, the float ball descends with the water level due to buoyancy. The float ball is installed inside the float ball fixing block, which is slidably connected to the sliding groove in the water supply pipe through a slider. This connection method ensures that the float ball fixing block can move up and down in the water supply pipe. As the float ball descends, the float ball that was originally in contact with the sealing ring will gradually leave the sealing ring. The sealing ring is installed on the inner surface of the limiting plate, which is fixed inside the water supply pipe and located above the expansion groove. When the float ball separates from the sealing ring, the water passage inside the water supply pipe is opened. Then, the external water source enters the water supply pipe through the connecting pipe and the filter in sequence, and then enters the water tank from the water supply pipe. The operation is simple and does not require setting high and low water levels. When a little water is consumed, the float ball descends and the water passage is opened, and a little water will be added. It can automatically perform water replenishment operation according to the change of water level in the water tank without frequent manual intervention.
[0014] (2) The filter of this utility model can filter the water entering the water tank, which helps to prevent impurities from entering the water tank and the subsequent water sealing system, reduces the risk of wear and blockage of the water sealing system components by impurities, and extends the service life of the equipment.
[0015] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0027] The water replenishment mechanism 3 includes a water replenishment pipe 301, which is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the water tank 1 and extends into the interior of the water tank 1. A filter 4 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the water replenishment pipe 301, and an enlarged groove 302 is provided at the end of the water replenishment pipe 301 away from the filter 4.
[0028] The enlarged groove 302 has a sliding groove 303 on its opposite surface, and the number of sliding grooves 303 is fixed to be two;

[0030] The water supply pipe 301 has a float fixing block 306 inside, and a slider 307 is fixedly installed inside the float fixing block 306. The two sliders 307 are slidably connected to the two sliding grooves 303 respectively.
[0031] A float 308 is fixedly installed inside the float fixing block 306, and the float 308 abuts against the sealing ring 305;
[0032] When the water level in water tank 1 drops, the float 308 descends due to buoyancy. The float 308 is installed inside the float fixing block 306, which is slidably connected to the slide groove 303 in the water supply pipe 301 via a slider 307. This connection ensures that the float fixing block 306 can move up and down within the water supply pipe 301. As the float 308 descends, it gradually moves away from the sealing ring 305, which was originally in contact with it. The sealing ring 305 is installed on the inner surface of the limiting plate 304. 304 is fixed inside the water supply pipe 301 and located above the expansion tank 302. When the float 308 separates from the sealing ring 305, the water passage inside the water supply pipe 301 is opened. Then, the external water source enters the water supply pipe 301 through the connecting pipe 5 and the filter 4 in sequence, and then enters the water tank 1 from the water supply pipe 301. The operation is simple and does not require setting high and low water levels.

It can automatically replenish water according to the change of water level in the water tank 1 without frequent manual intervention.
[0033] In use, when the water level in water tank 1 drops, the float 308 descends due to buoyancy. The float 308 is installed inside the float fixing block 306, which is slidably connected to the slide groove 303 in the water supply pipe 301 via a slider 307. This connection method ensures that the float fixing block 306 can move up and down within the water supply pipe 301. As the float 308 descends, it gradually moves away from the sealing ring 305, which is originally in contact with the sealing ring 305. The sealing ring 305 is installed on the inner surface of the limiting plate 304. The limiting plate 304 is fixed inside the water supply pipe 301 and located above the expansion tank 302. When the float 308 separates from the sealing ring 305, the water passage inside the water supply pipe 301 is opened. Then, the external water source enters the water supply pipe 301 through the connecting pipe 5 and the filter 4 in sequence, and then enters the water tank 1 from the water supply pipe 301. The operation is simple and does not require setting high and low water levels. When a little water is consumed, the float 308 descends, the water passage is opened, and a little water is replenished. It can automatically replenish water according to the change of water level in the water tank 1 without frequent manual intervention.
[0034] Filter 4 filters the water entering water tank 1, which helps prevent impurities from entering water tank 1 and the subsequent water seal system, reduces the risk of wear and blockage of water seal system components by impurities, and extends the service life of the equipment.
