Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of condensate collection, and in particular to a condensate diversion device. Background Technology
[0002] Condensate refers to liquid water formed by the condensation of water vapor. With the continuous development of modern industry, refrigeration systems are widely used in various industries, but condensate is also generated. Devices for recovering and utilizing this condensate have also emerged. By using a flow guiding device, the condensate is recovered, improving its utilization efficiency. Existing technology announcement CN208059389U proposes a refrigerator condensate flow guiding device. A partition is fixed to the side wall of the box, and a bevel gear fixing seat is fixed to the periphery. The partition surface has an internal threaded hole, and a second bevel gear is movably mounted on the surface of the bevel gear fixing seat. A first bevel gear is movably mounted on the bottom surface of the box, and a circular ring is fixed to the surface of the first bevel gear with an installation through hole. A threaded tube is installed inside the circular ring, meshing with the internal threaded hole. The inner surface of the threaded tube has internal threads. A flow guiding cover is slidably installed on the end face of the box, and a threaded shaft and a limiting shaft are fixed to the bottom surface of the flow guiding cover. The threaded shaft meshes with the threaded tube. However, it is inconvenient to quickly and easily fix the flow guide device and the conduit during use. Furthermore, the flow guide device is not very applicable to conduits of different sizes. For conduits of different models, the flow guide device may not be able to be installed. In addition, the previous device was prone to overflow when collecting too much condensate. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a condensate diversion device that facilitates the recovery of condensate, avoids the accumulation and overflow of condensate, effectively reminds staff to recover condensate, and improves the performance of the device.
[0004] This utility model discloses a condensate diversion device, comprising an outer cylinder, a water storage tank, a connecting assembly, a detection component, a drain component, and a locking component. The water storage tank is located inside the outer cylinder, and the detection component is installed at the bottom of the water storage tank. The drain component is connected to the upper side of the top of the water storage tank. The connecting assembly is installed at the top of the outer cylinder, and the locking component is located on the connecting assembly. The connecting assembly is adaptable to different types of conduits, improving the adaptability of the device and increasing its application range. At the same time, the locking component can quickly fix the outer cylinder and the conduit. The detection component facilitates the recovery of condensate and avoids the phenomenon of condensate accumulation and overflow, effectively reminding staff to recover the condensate for reuse, thereby improving the device's performance.
[0005] Preferably, the detection components include multiple weighing devices and a controller. The weighing devices are evenly installed inside the bottom of the outer cylinder, with the bottom of the water storage tank connected to the top of the weighing devices. The controller is installed on the outer wall of the outer cylinder, and the weighing devices are electrically connected to the controller. The water storage tank moves inside the outer cylinder, ensuring that the weighing devices only weigh the water storage tank and the condensate accumulated inside it. When a certain mass is reached, the controller uses a pre-set sensing value to remind personnel to collect the condensate, effectively increasing the convenience and practicality of the device.
[0006] Preferably, the drainage component includes a drain pipe, a drain valve, and an overflow pipe. A circular hole is provided in the middle of the bottom end of the outer cylinder. The drain pipe is connected to the bottom output end of the water storage tank. The drain pipe extends through the circular hole into the lower part of the outer cylinder. A drain valve is installed on the drain pipe. The input end of the overflow pipe is connected to the inside of the upper end of the water storage tank. A movable groove is provided on the outer wall of the outer cylinder for the overflow pipe to pass through. The output end of the overflow pipe is connected to the inside of the drain pipe. When the condensate accumulated inside the water storage tank exceeds the input end of the overflow pipe, the condensate overflows into the drain pipe through the overflow pipe, preventing the condensate from flowing into the inside of the outer cylinder and causing damage to the components. Opening the drain valve allows the condensate to be output through the drain pipe for subsequent use.
[0007] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a water inlet pipe, a connecting ring, an outer connecting ring, and an inner connecting ring. A collection port is provided at the top of the outer cylinder, the water inlet pipe is installed at the collection port, the connecting ring is installed at the top of the water inlet pipe, the outer connecting ring is installed on the outside of the connecting ring, and the inner connecting ring is installed on the inside of the connecting ring. The connecting ring, the outer connecting ring, and the inner connecting ring can accommodate different types of conduits, improving the adaptability of the device and increasing its application range.
[0008] Preferably, the locking component includes a locking band, a protrusion, a gear shaft, a knob, a connecting seat, a rotating arm, and a locking plate. The locking band is located outside the connecting ring. A protrusion is installed at one end of the locking band, and a locking groove is formed inside the protrusion. The gear shaft is rotatably installed on one side of the locking groove. The input end of the gear shaft passes through the top of the locking groove and is fitted with a knob. The inner wall of the other end of the locking band is provided with a toothed groove that matches the gear shaft. The connecting seat is installed at the front end of the top of the protrusion. The rotating arm is rotatably installed on the connecting seat. A locking plate is installed at the rear end of the rotating arm. A limit groove is provided on the locking plate. A limit protrusion that matches the limit groove is provided on the outer wall of the knob. After the guide tube is connected, the rotating arm is turned on the connecting seat to release the locking plate from limiting the knob. Turning the knob drives the gear shaft to rotate, causing the locking band to move in the locking groove, locking the guide tube for quick fixation. Turning the rotating arm causes the locking plate to re-limit the knob, ensuring stable fixation.
[0009] Preferably, it also includes a liquid level sensor and an alarm. The liquid level sensor is installed at the top of the outer cylinder, and the detection end of the liquid level sensor is located at the top of the inside of the water storage tank. The alarm is installed on the outer wall of the outer cylinder. The liquid level sensor and the alarm are electrically connected to the controller. When the condensate inside the water storage tank accumulates to the top, the liquid level sensor detects the condensate and, through the sensing amount preset by the controller, activates the alarm to remind personnel to recycle the condensate.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the connecting component is adaptable to different types of conduits, improving the adaptability of the device and increasing its application range. At the same time, the locking component can quickly fix the outer cylinder and conduit, and the detection component facilitates the recovery of condensate, avoiding the accumulation and overflow of condensate, effectively reminding the staff to recover the condensate for reuse, thereby improving the device's performance.

[0017] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this utility model more thorough and complete.
[0018] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the water storage tank 20 is located inside the outer cylinder 1. Multiple weighing devices 2 are evenly installed at the bottom of the outer cylinder 1. The bottom of the water storage tank 20 is connected to the top of the weighing devices 2. The controller 3 is installed on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 1. The weighing devices 2 are electrically connected to the controller 3. A round hole is opened in the middle of the bottom of the outer cylinder 1. A drain pipe 4 is connected to the bottom output end of the water storage tank 20. The drain pipe 4 passes through the round hole and extends into the lower part of the outer cylinder 1. A drain valve 5 is installed on the drain pipe 4. The input end of the overflow pipe 8 is connected to the upper end of the water storage tank 20. A movable groove for the overflow pipe 8 to pass through is opened on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 1. The output end of the overflow pipe 8 is connected to the inside of the drain pipe 4. A collection port is opened at the top of the outer cylinder 1. A water inlet pipe 9 is installed at the collection port. A connecting ring 10 is installed at the top of the water inlet pipe 9. A connecting outer ring 11 is installed on the outside of the connecting ring 10. A connecting inner ring 11 is installed on the inside of the connecting ring 10. Ring 12 and locking band 13 are located outside the connecting ring 10. One end of the locking band 13 is equipped with a protrusion 14, and a locking groove is opened in the protrusion 14. The gear shaft 15 is rotatably installed on one side of the locking groove. The input end of the gear shaft 15 passes through the top of the locking groove and is equipped with a knob 16. The inner wall of the other end of the locking band 13 is provided with a tooth groove that matches the gear shaft 15. The connecting seat 17 is installed at the front end of the top of the protrusion 14. The rotating arm 18 is rotatably installed on the connecting seat 17. The rear end of the rotating arm 18 is equipped with a locking plate 19, and a limit groove is provided on the locking plate 19. The outer wall of the knob 16 is provided with a limit protrusion that matches the limit groove. The liquid level sensor 6 is installed at the top of the outer cylinder 1. The detection end of the liquid level sensor 6 is located at the top inside the water storage tank 20. The alarm 7 is installed on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 1. The liquid level sensor 6 and the alarm 7 are electrically connected to the controller 3.
[0019] The water storage tank 20 is located inside the outer cylinder 1, ensuring that the weighing device 2 only weighs the water storage tank 20 and the condensate accumulated inside it. When a certain mass is reached, and the condensate accumulates to the top, the level sensor 6 detects the condensate and, through the pre-set sensing value of the controller 3, activates the alarm 7 to remind personnel to collect the condensate. This effectively increases the convenience and practicality of the device. When the condensate accumulated inside the water storage tank 20 exceeds the inlet of the overflow pipe 8, the condensate overflows through the overflow pipe 8 into the drain pipe 4, preventing condensate from flowing into the outer cylinder 1. If the component is damaged, the drain valve 5 can be opened to output the condensate through the drain pipe 4 for easy subsequent use. The connecting ring 10, connecting outer ring 11 and connecting inner ring 12 can accommodate different types of conduits, improving the adaptability of the device and increasing its application range. After the conduit is connected, the rotating arm 18 is turned on the connecting seat 17 to release the locking plate 19 from limiting the knob 16. Turning the knob 16 drives the gear shaft 15 to rotate, causing the locking band 13 to move in the locking groove, locking the conduit and quickly fixing it. Turning the rotating arm 18 causes the locking plate 19 to re-limit the knob 16 to ensure stable fixing.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses a condensate diversion device. During operation, the connecting ring 10, outer connecting ring 11, and inner connecting ring 12 can accommodate different types of conduits, improving the device's adaptability. After the conduit is connected, the rotating arm 18 is turned on the connecting seat 17, causing the locking plate 19 to release the restriction on the knob 16. Turning the knob 16 drives the gear shaft 15 to rotate, causing the locking band 13 to move within the locking groove, locking the conduit and quickly fixing it. Turning the rotating arm 18 again causes the locking plate 19 to reposition the knob 16, allowing the water storage tank 20 to move inside the outer cylinder 1. The weighing device 2 ensures that it only weighs the water storage tank 20 and the condensate accumulated inside the water storage tank 20. When a certain mass is reached, the liquid level sensor 6 detects the condensate and, through the pre-set sensing value of the controller 3, activates the alarm 7 to sound an alarm, reminding personnel to collect the condensate. When the condensate accumulated inside the water storage tank 20 exceeds the input end of the overflow pipe 8, the condensate overflows through the overflow pipe 8 into the drain pipe 4, preventing the condensate from flowing into the outer cylinder 1 and causing damage to the components. Opening the drain valve 5 allows the condensate to be output through the drain pipe 4 for subsequent use.
[0021] The weighing device 2, controller 3, liquid level sensor 6, and alarm 7 of this utility model's condensate diversion device are commercially available. Technical personnel in this industry only need to install and operate them according to the accompanying instruction manual, without requiring any creative work from those skilled in the art.
[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
