Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of energy storage equipment, specifically a water distributor for a water storage cooling tank. Background Technology
[0002] A water distributor for a water-cooled storage tank is a key device installed at the inlet and outlet of the tank. Its core function is to distribute water evenly across the entire cross-section of the tank at extremely low flow rates through specially designed openings or nozzles. This maintains a stable and straight temperature gradient between the cold and warm water during storage and release, minimizing mixing and ensuring the efficiency and capacity of the storage system. Patent CN220649216U, entitled "A Relatively Stable Water Distributor for a Water-Cooled Storage Tank," discloses a water distributor that controls water flow through adjusting components and uses a floating ball to keep the outlet close to the liquid surface, reducing water flow impact. However, this device has a complex adjusting component structure, is inconvenient to maintain, and the stability of the floating ball is greatly affected by water quality and flow rate, potentially leading to drift or blockage with long-term use. Therefore, we designed a water distributor for a water-cooled storage tank with a simple structure and high stability. Utility Model Content

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0016] A water distributor specifically for water-cooled storage tanks, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the device includes a valve seat 1, a valve cover 2 on the valve seat 1, and an inlet pipe 3 connected to the valve cover 2. The lower end of the inlet pipe 3 extends into the valve seat 1. A first groove 4 is formed on the valve seat 1. Several first outlet holes 5 are formed around the inner wall of the first groove 4. A second groove 6 is formed at the bottom of the inner wall of the first groove 4. A conical piston 7 is airtightly slidably installed in the second groove 6. The conical piston 7 is connected to the second groove 6 by a spring 8. One end of the spring 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conical piston 7, and the other end of the spring 8 is connected to the inner wall of the second groove 6. Under the elastic force of the spring 8, the top of the conical piston 7 fits against the bottom of the inlet pipe 3, sealing the inlet pipe 3. The bottom of the inlet pipe 3 has an inclined surface, and the inclined surface at the bottom of the inlet pipe 3 fits tightly against the inclined surface at the top of the conical piston 7. This utility model has a simple structure and ingenious design. Through the cooperation of the conical piston 7 and the spring 8, the gap between the top of the conical piston 7 and the bottom of the inlet pipe 3 can be automatically adjusted according to the water flow pressure, realizing adaptive flow control and avoiding liquid surface disturbance caused by water flow impact. It can meet market demand and is suitable for promotion. When using this utility model, water is passed into the inlet pipe 3. The water in the inlet pipe 3 exerts downward pressure on the conical piston 7. When the downward pressure of the water on the conical piston 7 is greater than the upward supporting force of the spring 8 on the conical piston 7, the conical piston 7 moves downward along the second groove 6, the spring 8 is compressed, and the top of the conical piston 7 separates from the bottom of the inlet pipe 3. The water in the inlet pipe 3 enters the first groove 4 through the gap between the bottom of the inlet pipe 3 and the top of the conical piston 7, and then exits the valve seat 1 through the first outlet hole 5. The downward distance of the conical piston 7 varies depending on the downward pressure of the water on the conical piston 7, thereby realizing adaptive control of the water flow.
[0017] Specifically, as shown in the figure, the valve cover 2 in this embodiment is detachably mounted on the valve seat 1. The valve cover 2 has several through holes 20, and bolts 21 are slidably installed in each of the through holes 20. The valve seat 1 has several threaded grooves 22 corresponding to the bolts 21, and the bolts 21 are threadedly fitted into the corresponding threaded grooves 22. By turning the bolts 21 forward, they are moved out of the corresponding threaded grooves 22, allowing the valve cover 2 to be removed from the valve seat 1 for easy inspection or cleaning. The valve cover 2 is then fastened onto the valve seat 1, aligning the through holes 20 with the corresponding threaded grooves 22. Then, the bolts 21 are turned in the opposite direction, causing them to thread into the corresponding threaded grooves 22, thus mounting the valve cover 2 onto the valve seat 1.
[0018] Specifically, as shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a threaded through hole 30 is opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the second groove 6. A screw 31 is installed in the threaded through hole 30. The upper end of the screw 31 extends into the second groove 6 and is mounted on a movable plate 32 through a bearing. The outer circumference of the upper end of the screw 31 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of a coaxial bearing. The outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate 32. The spring 8 is connected to the second groove 6 through the movable plate 32, and the lower end of the spring 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate 32. When the screw 31 is turned in the forward direction, the screw 31 rotates and moves upward along the threaded through hole 30. The screw 31 drives the movable plate 32 to move upward, and the spring 8 is compressed. The conical piston 7 needs to be subjected to a greater downward pressure from the water flow to move downward. When the screw 31 is turned in the reverse direction, the movable plate 32 moves downward. At this time, the piston 7 is pushed downward by a smaller downward pressure from the water flow. By adjusting the position of the movable plate 32, the pressure required to push the piston 7 downward can be changed.
[0019] Furthermore, as shown in the figure, a coaxial handwheel 40 is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the screw 31 in this embodiment. Turning the screw 31 by the handwheel 40 is more convenient and less strenuous.
[0020] Furthermore, as shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a vertical pipe 50 is airtightly slidably installed on the inner circumference of the first groove 4. The vertical pipe 50 is fixedly installed on the conical piston 7 by several L-shaped rods 51. Several second water outlets 52 are opened on the vertical pipe 50 corresponding to the first water outlet 5, and the first water outlet 5 and the corresponding second water outlet 52 are misaligned. When the conical piston 7 is subjected to downward pressure from the water flow, the conical piston 7 moves downward, and drives the vertical pipe 50 to move downward synchronously through the L-shaped rods 51. The water in the water inlet pipe 3 flows into the first groove 4 through the gap between the lower end of the water inlet pipe 3 and the top of the conical piston 7. When the vertical pipe 50 moves downward, the second water outlets 52 and the first water outlets 5 gradually overlap, and the water in the first groove 4 is discharged from the first groove 4 through the second water outlets 52 and the first water outlets 5.
[0021] Furthermore, as shown in the figure, in this embodiment, several slag discharge grooves 60 are formed on the inner wall of the second groove 6, and the slag discharge grooves 60 connect the second groove 6 to the outside. When the screw 31 is turned in the opposite direction, the moving plate 32 drives the conical piston 7 to move downward through the spring 8 until the top of the conical piston 7 is aligned with the slag discharge groove 60. At this time, the residue falling on the top of the conical piston 7 can fall into the slag discharge groove 60 along the inclined surface of the top of the conical piston 7, and then be discharged from the valve seat 1 through the slag discharge groove 60.
[0022] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
