Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of siphon discharge technology for condensate tanks, specifically relating to an adjustable siphon discharge device for condensate tanks in coking plants. Background Technology
[0002] Siphon discharge is a system that achieves efficient liquid discharge based on the siphon principle. Its core mechanism utilizes pipes or similar tubular structures, leveraging gravity or pressure difference to draw liquid from a higher position to a lower position, thus completing the discharge process. This technology requires no additional power; it achieves directional flow using the fluid's own energy, offering significant advantages such as low energy consumption, simple structure, and high discharge efficiency. Siphon discharge technology is widely used in both industrial and civilian sectors: in wastewater treatment, it efficiently transports wastewater from sedimentation tanks to treatment units, ensuring continuous and stable wastewater treatment processes; in the chemical industry, it safely and reliably transfers and discharges various chemical liquids, reducing the risk of material leakage; and in construction projects, water conservancy facilities, and other engineering projects, siphon discharge systems can be used for drainage and liquid recovery, effectively improving project operational efficiency.
[0003] In the production process of coking plants, condensate in the condensate tank is typically discharged and recycled using an adjustable siphon discharge device to achieve efficient resource recovery. However, in existing technologies, various impurities continuously accumulate at the bottom of the condensate tank with prolonged use, and the accumulation height increases over time. Since the inlet height of existing siphon pipes is fixed, when impurities accumulate to the same level as or above the inlet, they easily enter the siphon pipe, causing blockage. This problem not only hinders the normal discharge and circulation of condensate, leading to decreased production efficiency, but also increases equipment maintenance costs due to frequent pipe cleaning or replacement. Furthermore, blockages can potentially cause system shutdowns, affecting the continuity of coking production. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an adjustable siphon discharge device for condensate tanks in coking plants. Utility Model Content

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, this utility model discloses an adjustable siphon discharge device for a coking plant condensate tank, including a support 1, a clamping assembly 2 disposed within the support 1, an adjusting assembly 3 connected to the top of the support 1, a top plate 4 fixed to the top of the adjusting assembly 3, and a bearing assembly 5 installed on the top of the top plate 4. The support 1 includes two parallel vertical plates and a horizontal plate perpendicular to the vertical plates. A guide hole is provided on the horizontal plate, which is adapted to slide a guide rod 302, limiting lateral displacement and ensuring height adjustment accuracy. The adjusting assembly 3 includes an electric push rod 301 connected between the horizontal plate and the top plate 4. The electric push rod 301 can precisely adjust the height of the top plate 4, thereby adjusting the height of the siphon tube 6. A guide rod 302 is provided on one side of the electric push rod 301, fixed to the bottom of the top plate 4, and slidably connected within the guide hole. The guide rod 302 ensures the stability of the top plate 4's movement. A wire is connected to the electric push rod 301. 303, the electric push rod 301 is connected to the external control device via the wire 303; the clamping assembly 2 includes clamping plates 201 symmetrically arranged in two vertical plates. The lower sides of the opposite ends of the two sets of clamping plates 201 are inclined surfaces, which can be adapted to the side walls of the condensate tank of different thicknesses. The ends of the inclined surfaces are treated to avoid jamming the tank wall. The clamping plates 201 can clamp and fix the condensate tank side wall; the bearing assembly 5 includes a first base 501 and a second base 502 connected by fasteners 503. The first base 501 and the second base 502 are symmetrical to each other in the horizontal direction. The opposite surfaces of the first base 501 and the second base 502 are provided with semi-circular grooves. Rubber pads are pasted in the grooves to enhance the clamping stability of the siphon tube 6 and avoid metal hard contact that causes wear on the outer wall of the siphon tube 6. The first base 501 is connected to the top plate 4 through the mounting plate 504. The siphon tube 6 is fixedly arranged between the first base 501 and the second base 502.
[0023] In one specific embodiment, in the adjustable siphon discharge device for the coking plant condensate tank of this utility model, both sets of clamping plates 201 are connected to the vertical plate by multiple sets of springs 202. The springs 202 are fixed to the vertical plate. The reaction force of the springs 202 can make the clamping plates 201 clamp the condensate tank more firmly. Moreover, the buffering effect of the springs 202 can not only adapt to the slight deformation of the tank wall, but also avoid damage to the tank body caused by rigid clamping.
[0024] In one specific embodiment, in the adjustable siphon discharge device for the coking plant condensate tank of this utility model, the fastener 503 includes a fastening bolt and a nut that are threaded together. Of course, the fastener 503 can also take other forms, as long as the fixing effect is met.
[0025] In one specific embodiment, in the adjustable siphon discharge device for the coking plant condensate tank of this utility model, the siphon pipe 6 is connected to a control valve 7, which can control the opening and closing of the siphon pipe 6 and discharge the condensate in the condensate tank through the siphon pipe 6.
[0026] As one specific implementation, in the adjustable siphon discharge device for the coking plant condensate tank of this utility model, a water inlet net 8 is provided at one end of the siphon pipe 6. Water inlet holes are evenly opened on the water inlet net 8, and a filter screen is fixed inside the water inlet net 8. More specifically, the water inlet net 8 is a stainless steel cage structure with a detachable stainless steel filter screen nested inside. The filter screen is connected to the water inlet net 8 in a convenient way, making it easy to disassemble and clean. The surface of the net body is treated to reduce the adhesion of impurities. When water is introduced, the condensate enters through the water inlet net 8 and is filtered out by the filter screen.
[0027] Furthermore, in the adjustable siphon discharge device for the coking plant condensate tank of this utility model, the top end of the mounting plate 504 is welded to the bottom end of the first base 501, and the bottom end of the mounting plate 504 is welded to the top end of the top plate 4. The welding ensures the connection strength between the bearing component 5 and the top plate 4.
[0028] The working principle of the adjustable siphon discharge device for the coking plant condensate tank of this utility model is as follows:
[0029] In practical use, the operator places the bracket 1 on the side wall of the condensate tank and quickly positions it using the inclined surface of the clamping plate 201. The preload of the spring 202 causes the clamping plate 201 to automatically fit against the tank wall, and the rubber pad increases friction to prevent slippage. After fixing, the control valve 7 is opened, and the condensate enters the siphon pipe 6 after being filtered by the inlet screen 8 under the siphon effect. When impurities accumulate at the bottom of the tank, the external control system issues an adjustment command, and the electric push rod 301 drives the top plate 4 to rise and fall. The guide rod 302 guides precisely along the guide hole to achieve height adjustment of the inlet end of the siphon pipe 6, always keeping the inlet end higher than the impurity accumulation surface. The filter screen can be disassembled and cleaned periodically to prevent small impurities from clogging the pipe.
[0030] In summary, compared with the prior art, the adjustable siphon discharge device for the coking plant condensate tank of this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0031] This device has a simple structure and is easy to assemble and disassemble. The height of the inlet end of the siphon tube 6 can be flexibly adjusted by the cooperation of the electric push rod 301 and the guide rod 302 to avoid the accumulation layer of impurities. The dual filtration of the inlet screen 8 and the detachable filter screen reduces the risk of clogging. Moreover, the clamping component 2, with the buffer of the spring 202 and the inclined surface design, can be adapted to different tank walls and is firmly fixed, which has good adaptability. This device can effectively prevent impurities from entering the siphon tube 6, reduce pipe blockage and cleaning and maintenance costs, and significantly improve the efficiency of condensate recycling, which has good practicality.
