Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment technology, specifically to a descaling component. Background Technology

[0002] In the long-term operation of industrial circulating water systems, heating pipes, heat exchangers, and other equipment, calcium and magnesium ions in the water easily crystallize to form scale, which adheres to the inner walls of pipes and the surfaces of equipment. This leads to increased water flow resistance, decreased heat exchange efficiency, and even problems such as pipe blockage and equipment failure. Currently, traditional descaling technologies have the following limitations: Incomplete descaling: Static ultrasonic transducers or chemical agents can only act on local areas, and scale in dead corners of water flow (such as pipe bends and corners of the tank) is difficult to remove, easily forming stubborn scale; Lack of long-term protection: It can only remove existing scale and cannot inhibit the formation of new scale, requiring frequent maintenance, especially in high hardness water, where the pipes will re-scale quickly.

It solves the problems of incomplete descaling caused by static action in traditional descaling technology, which can only remove existing scale but cannot inhibit the formation of new scale. It is suitable for industrial circulating water, heating pipelines and other scenarios prone to scale formation, reduces equipment maintenance frequency and improves system operating efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a descaling component, comprising a pretreatment chamber, a functional chamber fixedly connected to the rear side of the pretreatment chamber via a flange, a tubular post-treatment chamber fixedly connected to the rear side of the functional chamber via a flange, a water inlet fixedly connected to the front side of the pretreatment chamber via a flange, the water inlet fixedly connected to an external water pipe via a flange, a water outlet fixedly connected to the rear side of the tubular post-treatment chamber via a flange, the water outlet fixedly connected to an external water pipe via a flange, a plurality of mounting seats are provided inside the functional chamber, an ultrasonic transducer is threadedly connected to the surface of the mounting seat, and a planetary rotation mechanism is also provided inside the functional chamber for driving the ultrasonic transducer to rotate; The drive assembly, located inside the functional compartment, provides power to the planetary rotation mechanism.

[0005] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the drive assembly includes a waterproof motor and a drive gear. The top of the waterproof motor is fixedly installed to the inner wall of the functional compartment, and the drive gear is fixedly installed on the output end of the waterproof motor.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the interior of the functional compartment is provided with a drive gear ring, which meshes with a drive gear. Several sets of fixing frames are rotatably mounted in a ring on the inner side of the drive gear ring, and the fixing frames are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the functional compartment on the side closest to the inner wall of the functional compartment.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the planetary rotation mechanism includes a transmission gear ring, a transmission gear, a shaft bracket, and a fixed shaft. The outer side of the transmission gear ring is fixedly installed to the inner wall of the functional compartment. Several sets of transmission gears are arranged in a ring on the inner side of the transmission gear ring, and the transmission gears mesh with the inner side of the transmission gear ring. The fixed shaft is fixedly installed inside the transmission gears. A shaft bracket is fixedly installed on the surface of the fixed shaft.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention solves the problems of incomplete descaling caused by static action in traditional descaling technologies, which can only remove existing scale but cannot inhibit the formation of new scale, by setting up a pretreatment chamber, a functional chamber, a tubular post-treatment chamber, an inlet interface, an outlet interface, a mounting base, an ultrasonic transducer, a planetary rotation mechanism, and a drive component.

[0016] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0018] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0019] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0020] Example 1 Reference Figure 1-5This is the first embodiment of the present utility model, which adopts the following technical solution, including a pretreatment chamber 1, a functional chamber 2 fixedly connected to the rear side of the pretreatment chamber 1 via a flange, a tubular posttreatment chamber 3 fixedly connected to the rear side of the functional chamber 2 via a flange, a water inlet 11 fixedly connected to the front side of the pretreatment chamber 1 via a flange, the water inlet 11 being fixedly connected to an external water pipe via a flange, a water outlet 31 fixedly connected to the rear side of the tubular posttreatment chamber 3 via a flange, the water outlet 31 being fixedly connected to an external water pipe via a flange, a number of mounting seats 53 are provided inside the functional chamber 2, an ultrasonic transducer 6 is threadedly connected to the surface of the mounting seat 53, and a planetary rotation mechanism is also included, which is provided inside the functional chamber 2 and is used to drive the ultrasonic transducer 6 to rotate; The drive assembly, located inside functional compartment 2, is used to provide power to the planetary rotation mechanism.

[0021] Specifically, after the drive component is started, it provides power to the planetary rotation mechanism. The planetary rotation mechanism drives the mounting base 53 and the ultrasonic transducer 6 on its surface to rotate in a planetary motion trajectory. As the water flows from the pretreatment chamber 1 into the functional chamber 2 and then into the tubular posttreatment chamber 3, the rotating ultrasonic transducer 6 continuously emits ultrasonic waves into the water flow. Through the synergistic effect of the ultrasonic cavitation effect and the rotation coverage, the scale in the water is decomposed.

[0022] Example 2 The second embodiment of this utility model adopts the following technical solution: the driving component includes a waterproof motor 4 and a driving gear 41. The top of the waterproof motor 4 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the functional compartment 2. The driving gear 41 is fixedly installed on the output end of the waterproof motor 4. A driving gear ring 42 is provided inside the functional compartment 2. The driving gear ring 42 meshes with the driving gear 41. Several sets of fixing frames 44 are rotatably installed in a ring on the inner side of the driving gear ring 42. The side of the fixing frame 44 near the inner wall of the functional compartment 2 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the functional compartment 2. A limiting block 43 is fixedly installed on the side of the fixing frame 44 near the driving gear ring 42. A limiting groove 421 that rotatably cooperates with the limiting block 43 is provided on the inner side of the driving gear ring 42.

[0023] Specifically, after the waterproof motor 4 starts, its output end drives the drive gear 41 to rotate. The drive gear 41, through meshing with the transmission component of the planetary rotation mechanism, transmits power to the planetary rotation mechanism, ultimately driving the ultrasonic transducer 6 to rotate in a planetary trajectory. This allows for continuous ultrasonic descaling as water flows through the functional chamber 2. When the drive gear 41 of the drive assembly rotates, it meshes with the drive gear ring 42, causing the drive gear ring 42 to rotate around the pivot point of the fixed frame 44. One end of the fixed frame 44 is fixed to the inner wall of the functional chamber 2, and the other end is the drive gear ring 42. Providing stable support ensures that the drive gear ring 42 maintains a stable trajectory during meshing transmission, thereby transmitting power to the planetary rotation mechanism to achieve coordinated rotation of the ultrasonic transducer 6. When the drive gear ring 42 rotates, the limiting block 43 on the fixed frame 44 is embedded in the limiting groove 421 on the inner side of the drive gear ring 42 and slides along the limiting groove 421 as the drive gear ring 42 rotates. The engagement constraint between the limiting block 43 and the limiting groove 421 can prevent the drive gear ring 42 from radially shifting or shaking due to uneven force during rotation, ensuring that it always rotates along the preset trajectory.

[0024] Example 3 The third embodiment of this utility model adopts the following technical solution: the planetary rotation mechanism includes a transmission gear ring 5, a transmission gear 51, a shaft bracket 511, and a fixed shaft 52. The outer side of the transmission gear ring 5 is fixedly installed with the inner wall of the functional compartment 2. Several sets of transmission gears 51 are arranged in a ring on the inner side of the transmission gear ring 5. The transmission gears 51 mesh with the inner side of the transmission gear ring 5. The fixed shaft 52 is fixedly installed with the inside of the transmission gears 51. The shaft bracket 511 is fixedly installed on the surface of the fixed shaft 52. The side of the shaft bracket 511 near the drive gear ring 42 is fixedly installed with the drive gear ring 42. The end of the fixed shaft 52 near the ultrasonic transducer 6 is fixedly installed with the mounting base 53. The end of the fixed shaft 52 away from the ultrasonic transducer 6 is fixedly installed with a retaining ring 521. The space between the tubes of the tubular post-processing compartment 3 is filled with rare earth nanocrystalline high-energy material.

[0025] Specifically, when the drive gear ring 42 rotates, it drives the fixed shaft 52 and the transmission gear 51 to revolve around the center of the functional chamber 2 via the shaft bracket 511. Simultaneously, the transmission gear 51 meshes with the inner side of the fixed transmission gear ring 5, generating its own rotation during the revolution. This, in turn, drives the fixed shaft 52 and the mounting base 53 at its end to synchronously achieve a planetary motion of "revolution + rotation." Ultimately, this causes the ultrasonic transducer 6 on the surface of the mounting base 53 to rotate along a planetary trajectory, performing all-round ultrasonic descaling of the water flow in the functional chamber 2. Furthermore, the ultrasonic transducer 6 and the mounting base 53 can be tilted or eccentrically set (see setting state reference). Figure 5When the fixed shaft 52 rotates and revolves under the drive of the planetary rotation mechanism, the retaining ring 521 at the end away from the ultrasonic transducer 6 forms an axial limit with the shaft frame 511 or surrounding components, preventing the fixed shaft 52 from displacing axially during rotation, and ensuring the stable connection between the fixed shaft 52 and the mounting base 53 and the transmission gear 51. After the water flows through the ultrasonic descaling treatment of the functional chamber 2, it enters the tubular post-treatment chamber 3. When it flows through the tubular channel, it comes into full contact with the rare earth nanocrystalline high-energy material filled between the tubes. The rare earth nanocrystalline high-energy material performs deep treatment of the water flow through its own characteristics, forming a synergistic effect with the previous ultrasonic descaling, and is finally discharged through the water outlet 31.

[0026] Working principle: 1. Water flow introduction and pretreatment Scale-laden water flows into the pretreatment chamber 1 through the inlet 11. The pretreatment chamber 1 performs preliminary buffering and guidance on the water flow, so that the water flow is evenly distributed and then smoothly enters the functional chamber 2, providing stable water flow conditions for subsequent ultrasonic descaling. 2. Ultrasonic descaling within the functional compartment Power transmission: The waterproof motor 4 starts and the output end drives the drive gear 41 to rotate. The drive gear 41 meshes with the drive gear ring 42 for transmission. The drive gear ring 42 rotates under the support of the fixed frame 44. The limiting groove 421 on its inner side slides with the limiting block 43 on the fixed frame 44 to ensure the stability of the rotation trajectory and avoid radial deviation. Planetary motion drive: The drive gear ring 42 drives the fixed shaft 52 and the transmission gear 51 to revolve around the center of the functional compartment 2 through the shaft frame 511; at the same time, the transmission gear 51 meshes with the inner side of the fixed transmission gear ring 5 and rotates synchronously during the revolution, forming a planetary motion of "revolution + rotation". All-round ultrasonic descaling: The fixed shaft 52 drives the end mounting base 53 and the ultrasonic transducer 6 on the surface to rotate along the planetary trajectory disk (which can be tilted or eccentrically set to expand the coverage range), and emits ultrasonic waves to the water flowing through the functional chamber 2; the cavitation effect of the ultrasonic waves decomposes the scale in the water, and the rotational motion ensures that the ultrasonic energy covers all areas in the functional chamber 2, eliminating the descaling blind spots. The retaining ring 521 at the end of the fixed shaft 52 forms an axial limit to prevent it from moving during rotation, ensuring the stable position of the ultrasonic transducer 6 and continuous and efficient descaling. 3. Tubular post-treatment and long-lasting scale prevention The water flow treated by the functional chamber 2 enters the tubular post-treatment chamber 3. When it flows through the tubular channel, it comes into full contact with the rare earth nanocrystalline high-energy material filled between the tubes. This material inhibits the formation of new scale by changing the crystal morphology of calcium and magnesium ions and adsorbs tiny impurities in the water to optimize water quality. Finally, the treated water flows out through the outlet 31, achieving the dual effect of "instant descaling + long-term protection".

[0027] In summary, by combining the pretreatment chamber, functional chamber, tubular post-treatment chamber, inlet interface, outlet interface, mounting base, ultrasonic transducer, planetary rotation mechanism, and drive components, this method solves the problems of incomplete descaling caused by static action in traditional descaling technologies, which can only remove existing scale but cannot inhibit the formation of new scale. It is suitable for industrial circulating water, heating pipelines, and other scenarios prone to scale formation, reducing equipment maintenance frequency and improving system operating efficiency.
