Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of visual monitoring technology for cooling water, and more specifically, to a visual monitoring device for cooling water. Background Technology
[0002] During coal mining operations, motors, as critical power equipment, operate under high loads for extended periods. Their internal components generate significant heat due to continuous friction and electromagnetic losses. To ensure stable motor operation, a cooling water circulation system is necessary for forced cooling, preventing overheating that could lead to insulation aging, component deformation, or even burnout. However, traditional cooling water systems have significant drawbacks: their piping design typically employs a closed, non-visual structure, making it impossible to directly observe the flow rate, velocity, and water quality of the cooling water. Operators can only infer the normality of the cooling water supply indirectly (e.g., pressure gauge readings, periodic manual checks). This method is not only inefficient but also highly dependent on manual experience and responsibility, and urgently needs improvement.
[0003] In summary, how to provide a visual monitoring device for cooling water is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0024] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0025] The core of this utility model is to provide a visual monitoring device for cooling water, which will be described below in conjunction with... Figures 1-4 A detailed description of each component that makes up the monitoring device is provided below:
[0026] This cooling water visualization monitoring device includes a monitoring housing 1, with fan blades 2 mounted on the inner surface of the housing 1. Each fan blade 2 has a rotating shaft. An upper connecting pipe 3 is welded to the upper surface of the housing 1, and a lower connecting pipe 4 is welded to the lower surface. An observation window 5, made of sapphire crystal, is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the housing 1. A sealing ring 6 is movably fitted onto the outer surface of both the upper and lower connecting pipes 3 and 4. Specifically, the monitoring housing 1 provides space for observing the backflow of water. The sealing rings 6 ensure a secure connection between the upper and lower ends. Water flows from the upper connecting pipe 3 to the lower connecting pipe 4, passing through the fan blades 2, which rotate as water flows. The observation window 5, made of transparent and high-hardness sapphire crystal, allows direct monitoring of the fan blade rotation speed to determine the water flow rate. Simultaneously, the transparent crystal allows staff to observe water turbidity and rust deposition in real time, providing a clear basis for maintenance cycles and cleaning plans, and reducing downtime for inspection.
[0027] The outer surface of the upper connecting pipe 3 is provided with a first extension pipe 7, and nuts 8 are rotatably connected to the outer surfaces of both ends of the first extension pipe 7. Specifically, the nuts 8 on both sides of the first extension pipe 7 are connected to the upper connecting pipe 3 and the upper component through internal thread grooves. The threaded connection method does not require complicated tools and can be completed by manually tightening, which significantly improves construction efficiency.
[0028] A valve body 9 is provided on the outer surface of the nut 8, and threaded grooves corresponding to the nut 8 are provided on both sides of the outer surface of the valve body 9; specifically, the threaded grooves of the valve body 9 facilitate the rotation of the nut 8 to complete the connection and installation.
[0029] A handle 10 is provided on the outer surface of the valve body 9, and a limiting block is provided on the outer surface of the handle 10 near the valve body 9. Specifically, the handle 10 is rotated by hand, thereby blocking inside the valve body 9. The limiting block is convenient to be limited when the valve body is closed after rotation, thereby further completing the on-off control of the outgoing water flow.
[0030] The upper surface of the valve body 9 is detachably connected to a connecting pipe port 11, and a water distribution block device 12 is welded to the upper surface of the connecting pipe port 11. Specifically, the main function of the water distribution block device 12 is to evenly distribute the cooling water after it flows out from the heat exchanger to multiple pipes to ensure the uniformity and effectiveness of the water flow in the system. The connecting pipe port 11 facilitates the connection of individual channels.
[0031] A bidirectional nut connecting pipe 13 is provided on the lower surface of one side of the water distribution block device 12. A shut-off valve 14 is detachably connected to the lower surface of the bidirectional nut connecting pipe 13. Specifically, the bidirectional nut connecting pipe 13 has the same structure as the first extension pipe 7 and nut 8, ensuring the connection at each corresponding connecting pipe port 11 of the water distribution block device 12. The shut-off valve 14 facilitates the opening of the water inlet end to allow water to enter the equipment.
[0032] The lower surface of the shut-off valve 14 is detachably connected to a second extension tube 15, which is protected by a rigid braided tube. Specifically, the second extension tube 15 extends the connecting tube. Usually, no observation is required at the water inlet end. The second extension tube 15 ensures that the equipment is arranged neatly and aesthetically.
[0033] A label 16 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the water distribution block device 12. The label 16 is coated with a waterproof coating. Specifically, the label 16 makes it easy to mark each connection port 11, so as to find the corresponding pipe more quickly.
[0034] The outer surface of the upper connecting pipe 3 is provided with a right-angle bend 17, and the outer surfaces of both ends of the right-angle bend 17 are provided with extended nuts 18; specifically, the right-angle bend 17 adjusts the vertical pipe to a horizontal pipe, thereby facilitating installation, and the extended nuts 18 facilitate the installation of external components.
[0035] A tapered tube 19 is provided on the lower outer surface of the right-angle bend 17, and an outlet tube 20 is detachably connected to the inner surface of the tapered tube 19; specifically, the tapered tube 19 deforms and is squeezed inward when the outer nut 18 is rotated and fixed, so as to ensure the stability of the outlet tube 20.
[0036] In summary: After the device is connected to the shut-off valve 14, the water inlet is opened. After the water distribution block device 12 outputs cooling water, it is discharged through other interfaces to the location where the monitoring housing 1 is installed. The water flows through the bidirectional nut connecting pipe 13, valve body 9, and first extension pipe 7 to the upper connecting pipe 3. When the upper connecting pipe 3 passes through the lower connecting pipe 4, it passes through the fan blade 2. The fan blade 2 is equipped with a rotating shaft. The fan blade 2 rotates when the water flows through it. The observation window 5 is made of sapphire mirror, which is transparent and has high hardness, making it easy to observe. The rotation speed of the fan blade 2 can be used to judge the size of the water flow. In addition, the staff can also understand the water quality and the presence of rust, which provides many conveniences for later maintenance. The handle 10 is rotated by hand to block the flow inside the valve body 9, further completing the control of the water flow. The right-angle bend 17 adjusts the vertical pipe to a horizontal pipe, which facilitates installation. The extended nut 18 facilitates the installation of external components. The tapered pipe 19 deforms and squeezes inward when the extended nut 18 is rotated and fixed, ensuring the stability of the outlet pipe 20.
