Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam trap technology, specifically a steam trap for preventing water hammer in pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] Steam traps, also known as condensate drains or automatic drain valves, are essential devices used in steam heating equipment or steam transmission pipelines. Their main function is to automatically drain condensate from the pipeline while preventing steam leakage. In industrial pipeline systems, water hammer often occurs during steam and hot water transmission due to condensate accumulation and pressure fluctuations. Water hammer generates instantaneous high-pressure shock waves, causing pipeline vibration, loosening of joints, and even pipe rupture, seriously affecting the safe and stable operation of the system and increasing equipment maintenance costs and downtime risks.

[0003] Steam traps operate on the principle of float valves. When steam encounters cold air and condenses into water, the buoyancy of the water opens the float, discharging the condensate. When there is no water, the trap remains sealed. The main function of most steam traps used in chemical plants is to effectively separate condensate in the steam system and discharge it into the condensate main pipe, while ensuring that steam does not leak. However, due to the velocity difference or pressure fluctuation between steam and condensate, shock waves are generated in the pipeline. This phenomenon can cause pipeline vibration, noise, and may even damage the equipment.

[0004] Therefore, a drain steam trap for preventing water hammer in pipelines is proposed. Utility Model Content

A baffle is slidably installed at one end of the retaining plate, further limiting the nitrogen storage tank through the annular limiting plate. The connecting pipe is then connected to the outlet of the steam trap, allowing a stream of low-pressure nitrogen to enter the steam trap outlet, creating back pressure. This prevents water hammer caused by a rapid decrease in flow velocity when condensate moves quickly within the pipeline and enters the main pipe. Attached Figure Description

However, the present utility model may also be implemented in other manners different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without departing from the connotation of the present utility model. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] Secondly, the so-called "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation manner of the present utility model. The phrase "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an embodiment that is separate or selectively mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0029] Embodiment 1:

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5 , which is the first embodiment of the present utility model.

[0031] This embodiment provides a steam trap for preventing pipeline water hammer, including a support plate 1. Two side plates 2 are fixedly arranged on the outer side of the support plate 1. Support plates 3 are fixedly arranged on the tops of the two side plates 2. Placing plates 4 are slidably arranged on one side of each support plate 3. A connecting rod 5 is fixedly arranged on one side of the placing plate 4, and the connecting rod 5 is slidably installed inside the support plate 3. A first fixing plate 6 is fixedly arranged at one end of the connecting rod 5. A nitrogen storage tank 7 is placed on the top of the support plate 1. A limiting structure 19 is arranged on the top of the support plate 1. Two arc-shaped plates 14 are connected to the outer side of the nitrogen storage tank 7. Second connecting plates 15 are fixedly arranged at both ends of the two arc-shaped plates 14. A fixing bolt 16 slidably penetrates between the two second connecting plates 15 on the same side. Fixing blocks 17 are fixedly arranged on the outer sides of the two arc-shaped plates 14, and the fixing blocks 17 are buckled inside the placing plate 4. The nitrogen storage tank 7 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 18;

[0032] During use, place the support plate 1 in a suitable position, then install the nitrogen storage tank 7 on the top of the support plate 1. At the same time, two arc-shaped plates 14 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the nitrogen storage tank 7. The fixing blocks 17 on the outer sides of the arc-shaped plates 14 are buckled inside the placing plate 4 and fixed by bolts, thereby limiting the nitrogen storage tank 7. Then connect the connecting pipe 18 to the outlet of the steam trap, thereby incorporating a stream of low-pressure nitrogen into the outlet of the steam trap to form a back pressure, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of water hammer caused by the rapid reduction in the flow rate when the condensed water moves rapidly in the pipeline and merges into the main pipe, resulting in a speed difference.

[0033] The limiting structure 19 includes an annular limiting plate 8. The annular limiting plate 8 is located at the top of the support plate 1, and the annular limiting plate 8 is sleeved outside the nitrogen storage tank 7. Two rotating plates 9 are fixedly arranged on the outer side of the annular limiting plate 8. Clamping plates 10 are fixedly arranged at the tops of the two side plates 2. The rotating plates 9 are buckled inside the clamping plates 10. A first connecting plate 11 is fixedly arranged at one end of the clamping plate 10. A baffle 12 is slidably arranged inside the first connecting plate 11. A second fixing plate 13 is fixedly arranged at the top of the baffle 12;

[0034] When installing the nitrogen storage tank 7, the annular limiting plate 8 is sleeved outside the nitrogen storage tank 7. After the nitrogen storage tank 7 is installed, the annular limiting plate 8 is rotated to make the rotating plate 9 buckle inside the clamping plate 10. At the same time, a baffle 12 is slidably arranged at one end of the clamping plate 10, and the baffle 12 will limit the rotating plate 9, so as to limit the nitrogen storage tank 7 through the annular limiting plate 8.

[0035] Embodiment 2:

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5 , which is the second embodiment of the present utility model.

[0037] Exemplarily, a chute is opened inside the support plate 3. The connecting rod 5 is slidably installed inside the chute. The placing plate 4 is slidably installed on one side of the support plate 3 through the connecting rod 5.

[0038] A through hole is opened inside the second connecting plate 15. The fixing bolt 16 slidably penetrates through the through hole. The arc-shaped plate 14 is fixedly installed outside the nitrogen storage tank 7 by connecting through the fixing bolt 16 and the second connecting plate 15.

[0039] A groove is opened inside the placing plate 4. The fixing block 17 is buckled inside the groove. The arc-shaped plate 14 is limited by connecting the placing plate 4 and the fixing block 17.

[0040] The cross-section of the first connecting plate 11 is processed into a U shape. The baffle 12 slidably penetrates through the first connecting plate 11. The rotating plate 9 is limited by the baffle 12.

[0041] One sides of the baffle 12 and the rotating plate 9 are both processed into arc-shaped surfaces. When the rotating plate 9 is buckled inside the clamping plate 10, the rotating plate 9 will push the baffle 12 to slide upward, so as to facilitate the limiting of the rotating plate 9.

[0042] The cross-section of the clamping plate 10 is processed into a right-angled shape. The rotating plate 9 is buckled inside the clamping plate 10. The nitrogen storage tank 7 is limited by the clamping plate 10 and the rotating plate 9.

[0043] Working principle: During use, place the pallet 1 in a suitable position, and then install the nitrogen storage tank 7 on top of the pallet 1. At the same time, two arc plates 14 are installed outside the nitrogen storage tank 7. Pass the first fixing plate 6 through the second connecting plate 15 to fix the arc plate 14. The fixing blocks 17 outside the arc plate 14 are buckled inside the placing plate 4 and fixed by bolts, thereby limiting the nitrogen storage tank 7. The placing plate 4 is slidably installed on one side of the support plate 3 through the connecting rod 5. At the same time, when installing the nitrogen storage tank 7, put the annular limiting plate 8 on the outside of the nitrogen storage tank 7. After the nitrogen storage tank 7 is installed, rotate the annular limiting plate 8 so that the rotating plate 9 is buckled inside the buckling plate 10. At the same time, a baffle 12 is slidably arranged at one end of the buckling plate 10, and the baffle 12 will limit the rotating plate 9, thereby limiting the nitrogen storage tank 7 through the annular limiting plate 8. Then connect the connecting pipe 18 to the outlet of the steam trap, thereby incorporating a low-pressure nitrogen gas into the outlet of the steam trap to form a back pressure, so as to avoid the phenomenon of water hammer caused by the rapid reduction of the flow rate when the condensed water moves rapidly in the pipeline and merges into the main pipe, resulting in a velocity difference.
