Abstract

This utility model discloses a water-gas balancing device for a pressure equalization valve, relating to the field of blast furnace technology. The utility model includes a balancing device body, a main pressure equalization valve connected to the main pressure equalization pipeline, and a backup pressure equalization valve connected to the backup pressure equalization pipeline. Both the main and backup pressure equalization valves are equipped with maintenance manholes, each with a maintenance cover. Through the design of the balancing device body, when the two manual ball valves are open, condensate generated in the gas in the pressure equalization pipeline will accumulate in the U-shaped pipe. When the water level in the pipe reaches the height of the manual ball valve, the water levels on both pressure equalization valves are balanced. The water accumulated at the backup valve will be balanced to the side of the main valve and enter the hopper with the pressure equalization gas, preventing further accumulation. This effectively avoids condensate buildup, balances the water levels on both sides, and prevents pipeline swaying during valve switching, ensuring safe and smooth production.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of blast furnace technology, and in particular relates to a pressure equalization valve water-gas balance device. Background Technology

[0002] During normal blast furnace production, the equalizing valve is a key piece of equipment to ensure pressurization of the charging tank and normal charging. Therefore, it is particularly important to have two sets of equalizing valves, one in use and one on standby. Because the standby equalizing valve is not used for a long time, it is easy for gas condensate to accumulate. When switching to the standby valve, a large amount of condensate will generate a lot of kinetic energy due to the equalizing gas, which will create a large impact at pipe bends and other places, causing the pipeline to shake and the weld to crack. At the same time, it is necessary to shut down the blast furnace for repair, which will affect production. In addition, this condensate will also enter the blast furnace with the raw materials after entering the charging tank, which will have a certain impact on the blast furnace condition. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pressure equalization valve water-gas balancing device. Through the design of the balancing device body, when the two manual ball valves are in the open state, the condensate generated by the gas in the pressure equalization pipeline will accumulate in the U-shaped pipe. When the water volume in the pipe reaches the height of the manual ball valve, the water levels of the two pressure equalization valves are balanced. The water accumulated at the standby valve will be balanced to the side of the commonly used valve and enter the material tank with the pressure equalization gas, and will no longer accumulate. This can effectively avoid the accumulation of condensate, balance the water levels on both sides, and thus prevent pipeline shaking when switching valves, ensuring safe and smooth production.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model is a water-air balancing device for a pressure equalizing valve, including a balancing device body, a main pressure equalizing valve connected to the main pressure equalizing pipeline, and a backup pressure equalizing valve connected to the backup pressure equalizing pipeline. Both the main pressure equalizing valve and the backup pressure equalizing valve are provided with maintenance manholes, and maintenance covers are provided at the maintenance manholes. The balancing device body includes a U-shaped tube and two connecting tubes; The U-shaped tube is connected to two connecting tubes at both ends by right-angle connectors, and each of the two connecting tubes is equipped with a manual angle valve. Both the main equalizing valve and the standby equalizing valve have external threaded interfaces on their inspection covers. The ends of the two connecting pipes away from the U-shaped pipe are respectively connected to the external threaded interfaces on the main equalizing valve and the standby equalizing valve. The central axis of the U-shaped pipe is perpendicular to the ground, forming a bottom liquid accumulation chamber.

[0005] Furthermore, the main pressure equalization pipeline includes four pipelines, the main pressure equalization valve is installed on the pipeline at the edge, and the other three pipelines are respectively equipped with a gas recovery valve, a pressure equalization venting valve and an emergency venting valve.

[0006] Furthermore, one end of each of the four pipelines is connected to a material tank pipe via a manifold, and manual blind valves are provided at both the pre-position and post-position of the main pressure equalizing valve, gas recovery valve, pressure equalizing vent valve, and emergency vent valve.

[0007] Furthermore, the structure of the backup equalizing pipeline is the same as that of the main equalizing pipeline, and the backup equalizing pipeline and the main equalizing pipeline are symmetrically arranged, with the main equalizing valve and the backup equalizing valve arranged opposite to each other.

[0008] Furthermore, the two vertical sections of the U-shaped tube are perpendicular to the ground, the horizontal section of the U-shaped tube is located at the bottom of the vertical sections, and the horizontal section of the U-shaped tube and the two connecting pipes are all parallel to the ground.

[0009] Furthermore, the horizontal section of the U-shaped tube is provided with a spare drain port, and a drain valve is connected to the spare drain port.

[0010] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: This invention, through the design of the balancing device body, allows two manual ball valves to be in the open state. After the gas in the pressure equalization pipeline produces condensate, it will accumulate in the U-shaped pipe. When the water volume in the pipe reaches the height of the manual ball valve, the water levels of the two pressure equalization valves are balanced. The water accumulated at the standby valve will be balanced to the side of the commonly used valve and enter the material tank with the pressure equalization gas, thus preventing condensate accumulation and balancing the water levels on both sides. This avoids pipeline shaking when switching valves and ensures safe and smooth production.
