Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cooling water recovery and utilization device for HXN3B type diesel locomotives, belonging to the technical field of diesel locomotives. Background Technology

[0002] The HXN3B locomotive's drain pipe is located at the lowest point of the locomotive, and there is only one shut-off valve on the pipe. Due to this design flaw, the locomotive's cooling water cannot be recycled. When major components are replaced or leaks in the water pipe gaskets are being repaired, the qualified cooling water in the locomotive can only be discharged into the sludge sump, and is wasted because it cannot be recycled. The cost of the cooling water is approximately 4,000 yuan per locomotive, which is high. Furthermore, the shut-off valve on the drain pipe may be opened by vibration or accidental contact during locomotive operation, causing the locomotive's cooling water to be drained, posing a significant safety hazard.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 An embodiment of this application shows a cooling water recycling device for an HXN3B diesel locomotive. The cooling water recycling device includes a water pipe adapter 20, a drain pipe 30, and a water storage tank 50. The water pipe adapter 20 is connected to the outlet end of the locomotive drain pipe 10 shut-off valve 11. The inner diameter of the water pipe adapter 20 is not smaller than that of the outlet end of the locomotive drain pipe 10 shut-off valve 11 to ensure the discharge speed of the discharged cooling water.

[0025] The drain pipe 30 is connected to the water pipe adapter 20. A locking arm quick connector 40 is arranged between the drain pipe 30 and the water pipe adapter 20. The male connector 41 of the locking arm quick connector 40 is set on the water pipe adapter 20, and the female connector 42 of the locking arm quick connector 40 is set on the drain pipe 30.

[0026] The water storage tank 50 is connected to the end of the drain pipe 30. The water storage tank 50 is used to collect cooling water. The drain pipe 30 and the water storage tank 50 can be fixedly connected or can be set to a detachable connection, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0027] In one embodiment, the locking arm quick connector 40 further includes a dead plug 46 detachably connected to the male connector 41, and an anti-detachment structure is provided between the male connector 41 and the dead plug 46. The dead plug 46 is used to seal the male connector 41 after the female connector 42 is removed from the male connector 41. By providing an anti-detachment structure between the male connector 41 and the dead plug 46, the dead plug 46 is prevented from falling off the male connector 41, thereby effectively eliminating the safety hazard caused by the accidental opening of the locomotive drain pipe 10 shut-off valve 11.

[0028] In one embodiment, the anti-detachment structure includes an anti-detachment hook 45 disposed on the male connector 41 and an anti-detachment ring 44 fixed on the dead stop 46. The anti-detachment ring 44 is disposed on the locking arm of the dead stop 46, and two sets of anti-detachment hooks 45 are provided, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the male connector 41, so as to connect with the anti-detachment ring 44, thereby locking the position of the locking arm of the dead stop 46 and preventing the locking arm 43 from being opened due to accidental contact. In addition, anti-detachment hooks 45 can also be provided on the drain pipe 30 or the female connector 42, so that when the male connector 41 and the female connector 42 are connected, the locking arm 43 can be fixed by the anti-detachment hook 45 and the anti-detachment ring 44, avoiding the safety hazard of the locking arm 43 being opened accidentally.

[0029] In one embodiment, the water pipe adapter 20 includes a connecting section and an adapter section. The connecting section is hexagonal and has connecting threads on its inner wall that connect to the outlet end of the shut-off valve 11. The outer surface of the adapter section has connecting threads that connect to the locking arm quick connector 40. The threaded connections of the water pipe adapter 20 are sealed with sealant or sealing tape to prevent cooling water leakage.

[0030] In one embodiment, a filter structure 60 is provided between the drain pipe 30 and the water storage tank 50. The filter structure 60 includes at least one impurity filter component and a grease filter component disposed at the end of the impurity filter component. The impurity filter component and the grease filter component respectively filter impurities and grease from the recovered cooling water, reducing secondary pollution.

[0031] In one embodiment, the impurity filtration assembly comprises two sets: a stainless steel filter screen 61 and a polypropylene filter cartridge 62. The stainless steel filter screen 61 uses a 100-200μm mesh to intercept large particles and rubber residues, while the polypropylene filter cartridge 62 is used to recover suspended solids of 1-10μm, ensuring the cooling water is clear and free of impurities. Of course, in other embodiments, a bag filter or similar filter can also be installed between the two sets of impurity filtration assemblies to filter fine metal particles and sediments.

[0032] In one embodiment, the grease filtration component is an activated carbon adsorption tank 63, which is used to absorb grease and odors, further improving the cleanliness of the cooling water.

[0033] In one embodiment, the water storage tank 50 is externally connected to a water delivery assembly for transferring cooling water. The water delivery assembly includes a water delivery pipe 51 connected to the bottom of the water storage tank 50 and a water pump 52 mounted on the water delivery pipe 51. The water pump 52 and the water delivery pipe 51 work together to facilitate the rapid transfer or replenishment of cooling water into the locomotive.

[0034] This application involves installing a water pipe adapter at the outlet end of the locomotive's drain pipe shut-off valve and connecting the drain pipe via a locking arm quick-connect coupling. The other end of the drain pipe is connected to a water storage tank. Thus, when cooling water needs to be recovered, the male and female connectors of the locking arm quick-connect coupling are connected, the locking arm is locked, and the drain shut-off valve is opened to recover the cooling water. After recovery is completed, the shut-off valve is closed, and the male and female connectors are disconnected. The recovery process is simple to operate, reduces resource waste, and achieves cost savings. At the same time, the entire recovery device requires minimal modification to the locomotive's drain pipe and is inexpensive.

[0035] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0036] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
