Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of condensate discharge devices, specifically a steam pipeline condensate discharge device. Background Technology
[0002] In the production process of steam-foamed flat sheet materials, the vulcanizing machine is the key equipment for achieving material vulcanization and shaping. Its working efficiency and product quality directly depend on a stable steam supply system. During the process of steam being transported to the vulcanizing machine through pipelines, condensation inevitably occurs due to factors such as ambient temperature and pipeline heat dissipation. If this condensate is not drained in a timely and thorough manner, it will not only reduce the thermal efficiency of the steam and cause temperature fluctuations in the vulcanizing machine, affecting the foaming uniformity and mechanical properties of the flat sheet material, but may also cause impact damage to pipelines and equipment due to water hammer, increasing maintenance costs and the risk of production downtime. Currently, the industry commonly uses condensate drainage devices such as steam traps to solve these problems.
[0003] However, in actual production, the steam system environment is complex. During steam generation and transportation, solid particles such as rust, scale, and pipeline corrosion impurities carried by boiler feedwater are easily mixed in. Auxiliary raw materials such as release agents in foaming production may also enter the pipeline due to operation or sealing problems, forming colloidal or sticky impurities. These impurities flow with the condensate and can easily cause valve core blockage and sealing surface wear of the discharge device, leading to problems such as malfunction of the steam trap or poor condensate discharge. Therefore, we propose a steam pipeline condensate discharge device. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a steam pipeline condensate discharge device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A steam pipe condensate discharge device includes a steam trap with connection ports on both sides. A set of connection ports on the left side of the steam trap is connected to an inlet pipe via a flange, and another set of connection ports on the right side of the steam trap is connected to an outlet pipe via a flange. A filter assembly for filtering impurities is provided inside the connection port on the left side of the steam trap, and a limit component is provided between the connection port and the inlet pipe.
[0007] Preferably, a control module is provided on the top of the steam trap, a temperature sensor is provided on the top of the connection port on the left side of the steam trap, and a pressure sensor is provided on the bottom of the connection port on the left side of the steam trap. The temperature sensor and the pressure sensor are electrically connected to the control module through wires, and the control module is electrically connected to the steam trap through wires.
[0008] Preferably, the filter assembly includes two sets of slots symmetrically opened on the left outer wall of the connection port. Insert blocks are slidably connected in the slots. A fixing frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the insert blocks. A first filter screen, a second filter screen, and a third filter screen are fixedly connected from left to right on the inner wall of the fixing frame. Two sets of limiting blocks are slidably connected in the insert blocks. A first spring is fixedly connected to one side of the two sets of limiting blocks. Limiting grooves are opened on the inner wall of the slots corresponding to the outer ends of the two sets of first springs.
[0009] Preferably, the limiting block is designed in a cross shape, and the insert has a through hole adapted to the limiting block. The left end of the limiting block is longer than the right end of the limiting block.
[0010] Preferably, the limiting component includes a support base fixedly connected to the top of the connection port. The support base has two sets of guide grooves on its left side. A second spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide groove. A sliding rod is fixedly connected to the other end of the second spring. The sliding rod is slidably connected to the guide groove. A clamping plate is fixedly connected to the left end of the sliding rod. A pull handle is fixedly connected to the left side of the clamping plate. A positioning post is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connection port below the clamping plate. The positioning post is slidably connected to the water inlet pipe.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the support base is designed in an arc shape, and the arc of the support base is equal to the arc of the outer wall of the water inlet pipe.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. This utility model sets up a detachable fixing frame between the connection port and the water inlet pipe, and then forms a multi-stage filtration of impurities in the condensate through the first filter screen, the second filter screen and the third filter screen in the fixing frame, thereby achieving the purpose of filtering impurities. At the same time, it also facilitates the cleaning of impurities by the staff, preventing impurities from flowing with the condensate into the steam trap and causing blockage of the valve core in the steam trap, resulting in the steam trap malfunction or poor condensate drainage.
[0014] 2. This utility model uses the sliding of the inlet pipe on the positioning post to make the inlet pipe fit against the connection port. Then, the restoring force of the second spring drives the slide rod to return to its original position and slide within the guide groove. The slide rod also drives the clamping plate to hold the inlet pipe, thus pre-fixing the inlet pipe on the connection port. At the same time, the inlet pipe is aligned with the flange hole on the connection port, which facilitates the worker to quickly install the inlet pipe on the connection port for condensate drainage.

[0023] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] like Figures 1-6As shown, a steam pipe condensate discharge device includes a steam trap 1, with connection ports 2 on both sides of the steam trap 1. A set of connection ports 2 on the left side of the steam trap 1 is connected to an inlet pipe 3 via a flange, and another set of connection ports 2 on the right side of the steam trap 1 is connected to an outlet pipe 4 via a flange. A filter assembly 5 for filtering impurities is provided in the connection port 2 on the left side of the steam trap 1, and a limit assembly 6 is provided between the connection port 2 and the inlet pipe 3.
[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a control module 7 is provided on the top of the steam trap 1, a temperature sensor 8 is provided on the top of the connection port 2 on the left side of the steam trap 1, and a pressure sensor 9 is provided at the bottom of the connection port 2 on the left side of the steam trap 1. The temperature sensor 8 and the pressure sensor 9 are electrically connected to the control module 7 through wires, and the control module 7 is electrically connected to the steam trap 1 through wires.
[0026] In practice, by installing a temperature sensor 8 and a pressure sensor 9 on the steam trap 1 and using them in conjunction with the control module 7, automatic control of condensate drainage can be fully realized. This solution combines the real-time monitoring capabilities of the sensors with the logical judgment function of the control module, enabling precise adjustment of the steam trap's on / off state, thereby optimizing condensate drainage efficiency and reducing energy waste.
[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the filter assembly 5 includes two sets of slots 51 symmetrically opened on the outer wall of the left side of the connection port 2. A plug block 52 is slidably connected in the slot 51. A fixing frame 53 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the plug block 52. A first filter screen 54, a second filter screen 55 and a third filter screen 56 are fixedly connected from left to right on the inner wall of the fixing frame 53. Two sets of limiting blocks 57 are slidably connected in the plug block 52. A first spring 58 is fixedly connected to one side of the two sets of limiting blocks 57. Limiting grooves 59 are opened on the inner wall of the slot 51 corresponding to the outer ends of the two sets of first springs 58.
[0028] In practice, a detachable fixing frame 53 is installed between the connection port 2 and the water inlet pipe 3. The first filter screen 54, the second filter screen 55 and the third filter screen 56 in the fixing frame 53 form a multi-stage filtration of impurities in the condensate, thereby achieving the purpose of filtering impurities. At the same time, it is also convenient for staff to clean impurities and prevent impurities from entering the steam trap 1 with the flow of condensate, causing blockage of the valve core in the steam trap 1, resulting in steam trap failure or poor condensate drainage.
[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the limiting block 57 is designed in a cross shape, and the insert block 52 has a through hole that matches the limiting block 57. The left end of the limiting block 57 is longer than the right end of the limiting block 57.
[0030] In practice, the limiting block 57 and the insert block 52 can be fully fitted together, thereby ensuring the stability of the limiting block 57 sliding back and forth in a straight line within the insert block 52. At the same time, the left end of the limiting block 57 is longer, which makes it easier for the staff to operate the limiting block 57 and slide it out of the limiting groove 59, thus making it easier for the staff to disassemble and assemble the fixing frame 53.
[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the limiting component 6 includes a support base 61 fixedly connected to the top of the connection port 2. Two sets of guide grooves 62 are opened on the left side of the support base 61. A second spring 63 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 62. A sliding rod 64 is fixedly connected to the other end of the second spring 63. The sliding rod 64 is slidably connected to the guide groove 62. A clamping plate 65 is fixedly connected to the left end of the sliding rod 64. A pull handle 66 is fixedly connected to the left side of the clamping plate 65. A positioning post 67 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connection port 2 below the clamping plate 65. The positioning post 67 is slidably connected to the water inlet pipe 3.
[0032] In practice, by pulling the handle 66 away from the connection port 2, the handle 66 drives the slide rod 64 to slide in the guide groove 62 through the clamp 65, and the slide rod 64 drives the second spring 63 to stretch, then the water inlet pipe 3 slides on the positioning post 67, so that the water inlet pipe 3 fits against the connection port 2. Then, by using the restoring force of the second spring 63, the slide rod 64 is driven to slide back in the guide groove 62, and the slide rod 64 drives the clamp 65 to clamp the water inlet pipe 3, so that the water inlet pipe 3 is pre-fixed on the connection port 2. At the same time, the water inlet pipe 3 is aligned with the flange hole on the connection port 2, which makes it easier for the staff to quickly install the water inlet pipe 3 for condensate drainage.
[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the bottom of the support base 61 is designed in an arc shape, and the arc of the support base 61 is equal to the arc of the outer wall of the water inlet pipe 3.
[0034] In practice, the water inlet pipe 3 can be made to fit with the support base 61, so that the support base 61 can limit the water inlet pipe 3 and prevent the water inlet pipe 3 from shifting at the connection port 2, which would lead to misalignment between the water inlet pipe 3 and the flange hole of the connection port 2, thus affecting the installation efficiency of the water inlet pipe 3.
[0035] In use, this utility model involves pushing the limiting block 57 to slide within the insert block 52, causing the two sets of limiting blocks 57 to press against the first spring 58. Then, the insert block 52 is slid into the slot 51, aligning the limiting blocks 57 with the limiting groove 59. At this point, the fixing frame 53 is in contact with the inner wall of the connection port 2. Next, the limiting blocks 57 are released, and the restoring force of the first spring 58 pushes the two sets of limiting blocks 57 to slide in opposite directions and insert into the corresponding limiting groove 59. Then, the water inlet pipe 3 is connected to the flange of the connection port 2, allowing condensate to pass through the first filter screen 54, the second filter screen 55, and the third filter screen 56. These filters remove impurities from the condensate, enabling the condensate to be reused. When cleaning impurities is required, simply remove the water inlet pipe 3 from the connection port 2 and then remove the fixing frame 53 from the slot 51 to clean the impurities.
[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
