Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam trap technology, specifically a steam trap insulation device. Background Technology
[0002] A steam trap insulation device is a piece of equipment used to protect steam traps from the effects of low temperatures. It is typically made of insulating material and effectively reduces heat transfer, preventing the water inside the steam trap from freezing or overheating. This device not only improves the working efficiency of the steam trap and extends its service life, but also reduces energy consumption and saves costs. In cold environments, the role of the steam trap insulation device is particularly important, ensuring that the steam trap can still function normally at low temperatures and avoiding damage or malfunction caused by freezing.
[0003] Various drainage defects often exist on common process pipelines. When dealing with drainage valve defects, it is often necessary to carry various tools to remove the drainage protection layer and insulation layer, which increases maintenance time. Problems with drainage valves often lead to damage and deformation of the drainage valve insulation layer and protection layer.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a drain valve insulation device that allows for quick disassembly and assembly of the insulation layer, reducing unsafe situations during the removal of the drain insulation layer and improving maintenance efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a steam trap insulation device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a steam trap insulation device, comprising a connecting block, a rotating shaft rotatably connected inside the connecting block, a side plate fixedly installed at the end of the rotating shaft, and a processing component disposed outside the connecting block, the processing component including a snap-fit component disposed outside the connecting block, and an auxiliary component disposed inside the snap-fit component.
[0007] Preferably, the snap-fit assembly includes an outer shell fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting block, a high-temperature resistant polyurethane fixedly installed on the inner side of the outer shell, an aluminum silicate needled blanket fixedly installed on the inner side of the high-temperature resistant polyurethane, a fixing plate fixedly installed on the outer wall of the outer shell, a connecting plate fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixing plate, a first magnetic plate fixedly installed on the side wall of the connecting plate, a support rod provided on the side of the first magnetic plate away from the connecting plate, a snap-fit plate rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support rod, and a second magnetic plate fixedly installed on the side of the snap-fit plate near the first magnetic plate.
[0008] Preferably, the auxiliary component includes a plug rod sleeved inside the connecting plate, a handle is fixedly installed at the end of the plug rod, and a nut is threaded onto the end of the plug rod away from the handle.
[0009] Preferably, the end of the card plate away from the fixed plate is set with an inclined surface, and the end of the card plate away from its inclined surface is set with a semi-circular surface. The card plate with the inclined surface at the end can make the two card plates press against each other smoothly. Under the restriction of the card plate with the semi-circular surface at the end, it is prevented from rotating away from the connecting plate.
[0010] Preferably, the first magnetic plate and the second magnetic plate are magnetically repulsive, and the support rod is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixing plate. Under the magnetic repulsion, the clamping plate is pushed to make the two clamping plates stably clamped together.
[0011] Preferably, the outer shell is hinged to the rotating shaft via a connecting block. There are two outer shells, symmetrically distributed around the center line of the side plate. Under the constraint of the two outer shells, the outer wall of the steam trap can be fitted to it for heat preservation.
[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the insertion rod is fitted inside the connecting plate and the clamping plate, and the handle is U-shaped. Under the restriction of the insertion rod and the handle, the clamping plate is restricted after it is engaged, so as to prevent the clamping plate from rotating.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. This steam trap insulation device consists of a snap-fit assembly. When insulating the steam trap, an outer protective shell is fitted over its outer wall. Due to the adhesive properties of the high-temperature resistant polyurethane foam sealant, the outer protective shell and the aluminum silicate needle-punched blanket are firmly bonded together. With the outer protective shell, high-temperature resistant polyurethane, and aluminum silicate needle-punched blanket working together, the steam trap is insulated. When the outer protective shell insulates the steam trap, it connects the two outer protective shells, causing the beveled ends of the two clamping plates to contact and press against each other. The clamping plates rotate around the point of rotation with the support rod as the center of rotation. When the two plates are engaged, the magnetic repulsion between the second and first magnetic plates pushes the plates together, securing them firmly. Because the end of the plate away from its inclined surface is semi-circular, it prevents the plate from rotating away from the first magnetic plate. When the outer casing needs to be removed, simply press the two plates in opposite directions to complete the disassembly. This structure allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the insulation material fitted onto the outer wall of the steam trap. The insulation effect is improved by the constraints of the outer casing, high-temperature resistant polyurethane, and aluminum silicate needle-punched blanket.
[0015] 2. The thermal insulation device of the steam trap is composed of an auxiliary component. When the two sets of clamping plates are interlocked, the insert rod passes through the connecting plate and the clamping plate, and then the nut and the threaded end of the insert rod away from the handle are threaded together. Under its restriction, it can prevent foreign objects from squeezing the clamping plates and causing the two clamping plates to disengage. Attached Figure Description

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0027] Example 1: A preferred embodiment of the steam trap insulation device provided by this utility model Figures 1 to 6 As shown: a steam trap insulation device, including a connecting block 1;
[0028] The connecting block 1 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 2;
[0029] A side plate 3 is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating shaft 2;
[0030] The processing component 4 is disposed outside the connecting block 1. The processing component 4 includes a snap-fit component 41 disposed outside the connecting block 1. The snap-fit component 41 includes an outer shell 411 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting block 1. A high-temperature resistant polyurethane 412 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the outer shell 411. An aluminum silicate needled blanket 413 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the high-temperature resistant polyurethane 412. A fixing plate 414 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the outer shell 411. A connecting plate 415 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixing plate 414. A first magnetic plate 416 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the connecting plate 415. A support rod 417 is provided on the side of the first magnetic plate 416 away from the connecting plate 415. A clamping plate 418 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support rod 417. A second magnetic plate 419 is fixedly installed on the side of the clamping plate 418 close to the first magnetic plate 416.
[0031] In this embodiment, when the steam trap is insulated, the outer shell 411 is fitted onto its outer wall. Due to the adhesive properties of the high-temperature resistant polyurethane 412 foam sealant, the outer shell 411 and the aluminum silicate needled blanket 413 are firmly bonded together. With the outer shell 411, high-temperature resistant polyurethane 412, and aluminum silicate needled blanket 413 working together, the steam trap is insulated. When the outer shell 411 insulates the steam trap, it connects the two outer shells 411, causing the beveled ends of the two clamping plates 418 to contact and press. The clamping plates 418 rotate around the rotatable connection point with the support rod 417 as the rotation center. When the two clamping plates 418... When the two plates are interlocked, the magnetic repulsion between the second magnetic plate 419 and the first magnetic plate 416 pushes the interlocking plate 418, making the two interlocking plates 418 firmly interlocked. Since the end of the interlocking plate 418 is set with a semi-circular surface away from its end slope, it is restricted to prevent the interlocking plate 418 from rotating away from the first magnetic plate 416. When it is necessary to disassemble the outer shell 411, the two interlocking plates 418 can be pressed in opposite directions to complete the disassembly. This structure can quickly disassemble and install the insulation material sleeved on the outer wall of the drain valve. Under the restriction of the outer shell 411, high-temperature resistant polyurethane 412 and aluminum silicate needle-punched blanket 413, the insulation effect can be improved.
[0032] Furthermore, the end of the clamping plate 418 away from the fixed plate 414 is set with an inclined surface, and the end of the clamping plate 418 away from its inclined surface is set with a semi-circular surface. The clamping plate 418 with the inclined surface at the end can make the two clamping plates 418 press against each other smoothly. Under the restriction of the clamping plate 418 with the semi-circular surface at the end, it is prevented from rotating away from the connecting plate 415.
[0033] Furthermore, the first magnetic plate 416 and the second magnetic plate 419 are magnetically repelled, and the support rod 417 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixing plate 414. Under the magnetic repulsion, the clamping plate 418 is pushed, so that the two clamping plates 418 are stably clamped together.
[0034] Furthermore, the outer shell 411 is hinged to the rotating shaft 2 via the connecting block 1. There are two outer shells 411, which are symmetrically distributed around the center line of the side plate 3. Under the constraint of the two outer shells 411, the outer wall of the steam trap can be fitted to it for heat preservation.
[0035] Example 2: Based on Example 1, a preferred embodiment of the steam trap insulation device provided by this utility model is as follows: Figures 1 to 6 As shown: The auxiliary component 42 includes a rod 421 sleeved inside the connecting plate 415. A handle 422 is fixedly installed at the end of the rod 421, and a nut 423 is threaded onto the end of the rod 421 away from the handle 422.
[0036] In this embodiment, when the two sets of clamping plates 418 are interlocked, the insert rod 421 passes through the connecting plate 415 and the clamping plate 418, and then the nut 423 is threaded onto the end of the insert rod 421 away from the handle 422. Under its restriction, it can prevent foreign objects from squeezing the clamping plate 418, causing the two clamping plates 418 to disengage.
[0037] In addition, the outer wall of the insertion rod 421 is fitted inside the connecting plate 415 and the clamping plate 418, and the handle 422 is U-shaped. Under the restriction of the insertion rod 421 and the handle 422, the clamping plate 418 is restricted after being engaged, so as to prevent the clamping plate 418 from rotating.
[0038] The above are merely illustrative embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any equivalent changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principles of this utility model should fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that the components of this utility model are not limited to the overall application described above. Each technical feature described in the specification can be used individually or in combination as needed. Therefore, this utility model naturally covers other combinations and specific applications related to the points of this utility model.
