Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of valve technology, and in particular to wireless integrated steam trap valve assemblies. Background Technology
[0002] A steam trap is a component that ensures even heat distribution in steam heating equipment. Its function is to automatically remove condensate and non-condensable gases such as air from the heating equipment or steam pipes without leaking steam. Because the steam trap functions to prevent steam from escaping and draining water, it ensures even heat distribution in the steam heating equipment, fully utilizes the latent heat of steam, and prevents water hammer in the steam pipes.
[0003] The existing steam trap assemblies have the following problems:
[0004] 1. Traditional valve assembly equipment is mostly equipped with external cables. The wiring work for power supply and signal transmission of traditional instruments is huge and requires real-time external power supply. The outdoor environment is harsh, with high temperature and humidity and some of them are corrosive. Cables are prone to aging and failure in high temperature and humidity environments, resulting in a high failure rate.
[0005] 2. When transporting water, some solid impurities and scale in the existing steam pipeline will deposit and adhere to the pipeline. These impurities will affect the steam delivery of the valve group, easily cause pipeline blockage, and are difficult to clean.
[0006] Therefore, a steam trap assembly is needed to prevent instrument power supply and signal transmission failures caused by cable aging and failure in harsh environments, reduce pipeline blockage, improve pipeline cleaning convenience, and reduce usage and maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, prevent cable aging and failure in harsh environments that could lead to instrument power supply and signal transmission failures, reduce pipe blockage, improve pipe cleaning convenience, and lower usage and maintenance costs, this application provides a wireless integrated steam trap assembly.
[0008] The wireless integrated steam trap valve assembly provided in this application adopts the following technical solution.
[0009] A wireless integrated steam trap assembly includes a delivery pipeline, on which an upstream instrument, a steam trap assembly, and a downstream instrument are sequentially installed.
[0010] The upstream instrument includes a first detection module for detecting upstream temperature and pressure. The upstream instrument is connected to the downstream instrument for data communication.
[0011] The downstream instrument includes a second detection module, a data processing module, and a signal transmission module. The downstream instrument is used for detecting and processing the downstream temperature and pressure, and will send the processing result signal.
[0012] The steam trap assembly includes a steam trap body, a filter, a front shut-off valve, and a rear shut-off valve installed on the delivery pipeline.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, high-temperature and high-pressure steam is transported from the upstream instrument to the downstream instrument. The steam trap automatically removes condensate and non-condensable gases such as air from the transport pipeline without steam leakage. Because the steam trap functions as a steam blockage and drainage device, it prevents water hammer in the steam pipeline. The filter reduces pipeline blockage and lowers the failure rate. The first detection module detects the temperature and pressure data upstream of the valve, and the second detection module detects the temperature and pressure data downstream of the valve. After processing by the data processing module, the data can be used to determine the status of the water supply device. The signal transmission module sends the processing result signal, facilitating remote monitoring, ensuring normal equipment operation, eliminating the need for real-time personnel inspection, and saving labor costs.
[0014] Optionally, the first detection module includes an integrated inlet temperature and pressure detector for detecting inlet temperature and pressure data.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution and using an integrated temperature and pressure detector, it is beneficial to reduce the size, reduce the volume ratio, and reduce the space occupation.
[0016] Optionally, the first detection module is connected to the delivery pipeline via a first instrument conduit, and the first instrument conduit and the delivery pipeline are connected by a thread.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded connection is simple, stable, reliable, and easy to install and disassemble.
[0018] Optionally, the first instrument conduit is provided with several heat sinks.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, since high-temperature and high-pressure steam is transported from the instrument before the valve to the instrument after the valve, the temperature before the valve is high. By setting up heat sinks, the heat dissipation efficiency of the first instrument conduit is improved, and the high temperature is prevented from being transferred to the first detection module, thus avoiding high temperature damage.
[0020] Optionally, the second detection module includes an integrated downstream temperature and pressure detector for detecting downstream temperature and pressure data.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution and using an integrated temperature and pressure detector, it is beneficial to reduce the size, reduce the volume ratio, and reduce the space occupation.
[0022] Optionally, the second detection module is connected to the delivery pipeline via a second instrument conduit, and the second instrument conduit and the delivery pipeline are connected by a thread.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded connection is simple, stable, reliable, and easy to install and disassemble.
[0024] Optionally, flanges are provided at both ends of the conveying pipeline.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up flanges, the ease of installation can be improved.
[0026] Optionally, both the front shut-off valve and the rear shut-off valve are connected to the delivery pipeline by bolts.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the shut-off valve can be used to cut off, regulate and throttle the flow. After both the front and rear shut-off valves are closed, the filter can be opened to drain and clean, thus avoiding blockage.
[0028] Optionally, the drain valve body is connected to the delivery pipeline by bolts.
[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded connection is simple, stable, reliable, and easy to install and disassemble.
[0030] Optionally, a power supply module is provided in the instrument downstream of the valve.
[0031] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the power supply module, the integrated steam trap assembly can be powered independently, eliminating the need for an external power supply and solving the problem of cables aging and failing easily in high temperature and humidity environments, resulting in a high failure rate.
[0032] In summary, this application includes at least the following beneficial effects:
[0033] 1. In this application, high-temperature and high-pressure steam is delivered from the upstream instrument to the downstream instrument. The steam trap itself automatically removes condensate and non-condensable gases such as air from the delivery pipeline without steam leakage. Because the steam trap functions as a steam blockage and drainage device, it prevents water hammer in the steam pipeline. The filter reduces pipeline blockage and lowers the failure rate. The first detection module detects the temperature and pressure data upstream of the valve, and the second detection module detects the temperature and pressure data downstream of the valve. After processing by the data processing module, the status of the water delivery device can be determined. The signal transmission module sends the processing result signal, facilitating remote monitoring and ensuring normal equipment operation without requiring real-time inspections by personnel, thus saving labor costs. Combined with the power supply module, the integrated steam trap assembly can be independently powered, eliminating the need for an external power source and cable connections. This solves the problem of cables aging and failing easily in high-temperature and high-humidity environments, leading to a high failure rate.
[0034] 2. The first instrument conduit of this application is provided with several heat sinks. Because high-temperature and high-pressure steam is transported from the instrument before the valve to the instrument after the valve, the temperature before the valve is high. The heat sinks help to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the first instrument conduit, prevent high temperature from being transferred to the first detection module, and avoid high temperature damage.

[0040] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0041] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0042] This application discloses a wireless integrated steam trap assembly.
[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The wireless integrated steam trap assembly includes: a conveying pipe 1, which is used to convey high-temperature and high-pressure steam. Flanges 2 are provided at both ends of the conveying pipe 1. By setting flanges 2, it is easy to connect the pipes and improve the ease of installation.
[0044] The pipeline 1 is equipped with pre-valve instruments, drain valve group, and post-valve instruments 6 in sequence.
[0045] The instrument before the valve includes a first detection module 3, which is used to detect the temperature and pressure before the valve.
[0046] The first detection module 3 includes an integrated temperature and pressure detector for the valve inlet, used to detect the temperature and pressure data before the valve. Using an integrated temperature and pressure detector helps to reduce size, decrease volume ratio, and reduce space occupation.
[0047] The first detection module 3 is connected to the delivery pipe 1 via the first instrument conduit 4, and the first instrument conduit 4 and the delivery pipe 1 are connected by threads. The threaded connection is simple, stable, reliable, and convenient for installation and disassembly.
[0048] Several heat sinks 5 are provided on the first instrument conduit 4. Because high-temperature and high-pressure steam is transported from the instrument before the valve to the instrument after the valve 6, the temperature before the valve is high. The heat sinks 5 help to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the first instrument conduit 4, prevent high temperature from being transferred to the first detection module 3, and avoid high temperature damage.
[0049] The downstream instrument 6 includes a second detection module, a data processing module, a signal transmission module 7, and a power supply module.
[0050] The second detection module includes an integrated temperature and pressure detector for downstream valves, used for detecting these parameters. Using an integrated temperature and pressure detector helps reduce the overall size and space required.
[0051] The second detection module is connected to the delivery pipe 1 through the second instrument conduit 8. The second instrument conduit 8 and the delivery pipe 1 are connected by a thread. The threaded connection is simple, stable and reliable, and easy to install and disassemble.
[0052] The first detection module 3 and the second detection module are connected for data communication.
[0053] The data processing module is used to collect and process the data detected by the first detection module 3 and the second detection module.
[0054] The signal transmission module 7 is located on the side of the second detection module and will send the processing result signal to realize data transmission.
[0055] The power supply module is located in the instrument 6 after the valve. With the power supply module, the integrated steam trap can be powered independently, eliminating the need for an external power source. This solves the problem of cables aging and failing easily in high temperature and humidity environments, resulting in a high failure rate.
[0056] The steam trap assembly includes a steam trap body 9, a filter 10, a front shut-off valve 11, and a rear shut-off valve 12, all installed on the delivery pipeline 1.
[0057] The steam trap body 9 is connected to the conveying pipe 1 by bolts. The threaded connection is simple, stable, and reliable, and installation and disassembly are convenient. The front shut-off valve 11 and the rear shut-off valve 12 are both connected to the conveying pipe 1 by bolts. The steam trap body 9 and the two shut-off valves (front shut-off valve 11 and rear shut-off valve 12) are located on both sides of the conveying pipe 1. The front shut-off valve 11 and the rear shut-off valve 12 can cut off, regulate, and throttle the flow. After the front shut-off valve 11 and the rear shut-off valve 12 are closed, the filter 10 can be opened to drain and clean the sewage to avoid blockage.
[0058] High-temperature, high-pressure steam is transported from the upstream instrument to the downstream instrument 6. The steam trap 9 automatically removes condensate and non-condensable gases such as air from the transport pipeline 1, preventing steam leakage. Because the steam trap functions as a steam blockage and drainage device, it prevents water hammer in the steam pipeline. The filter 10 reduces pipeline blockage and lowers the failure rate. The first detection module 3 detects the temperature and pressure data upstream of the valve, and the second detection module detects the temperature and pressure data downstream of the valve. After processing by the data processing module, the overall status of the water supply device can be determined. The signal transmission module 7 sends the processing result signal, facilitating remote monitoring and ensuring normal equipment operation. This eliminates the need for real-time personnel inspection, saving labor costs.
