Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machinery, and in particular to the field of mechanical component technology, specifically to a multi-sensor atomizing emission device for vehicle condensate. Background Technology

[0002] In the high-temperature working environment of steelmaking, the crane cab and electrical compartment require continuous air conditioning to maintain a suitable working environment. However, traditional methods for handling condensate from the air conditioner pose numerous safety hazards. On the one hand, manually collecting condensate requires crane operators to climb up and down the crane to empty it, posing a risk of falling from heights. On the other hand, if the condensate drips directly onto areas where molten metal is being hoisted, such as above ladles of steel or iron ladles, it can cause a violent explosion upon contact with the high-temperature metal, as water instantly vaporizes and expands 1700 times in volume. Existing technologies are not only inefficient but also violate the "Metallurgical Safety Production Regulations," and commercially available general-purpose air conditioner drain pipes do not meet explosion-proof requirements.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent application number CN202320651352.8 discloses a vehicle dehumidifier and an air conditioner condensate treatment device. However, when there is too much condensate in the water tank, the device can overflow from the high overflow port to remind the driver to drain it in time. However, condensate still overflows, and if the driver does not notice the overflowing condensate in time, the condensate will still drip onto the vehicle. Therefore, the design of this solution still has problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a multi-sensor atomizing discharge device for vehicle condensate. By setting a first level gauge, the water in the storage tank is atomized in a timely manner through the atomizing device. At the same time, a float baffle and a button are provided in the storage tank. When the first level gauge or the atomizing device is not working, the condensate pushes the baffle to rotate through the float, and the button is pressed to issue an alarm, so as to remind the driver to deal with the water in the storage tank in a timely manner.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a multi-sensor atomizing emission device for vehicle condensate, comprising a water storage tank connected to an air conditioning drain pipe, and an atomizing device connected to the water storage tank. The water storage tank is provided with a partition, which divides the water storage tank into a water storage area and an alarm area. A first level gauge is provided in the water storage area, with its position height lower than the top surface of the partition. A float is provided in the alarm area, and a baffle is provided at the upper end of the float to restrict the float from floating upward and to rotate and press a button. The baffle is hinged to the inner wall of the water storage tank, and the button is electrically connected to an alarm.

[0006] In use, the condensate from the air conditioner enters the water storage area of ​​the water tank. When the first level gauge is reached, it transmits a signal to the atomizing device to atomize and discharge the condensate. When the first level gauge is not working, as the condensate increases, it flows through the baffle into the alarm zone. The rising water level in the alarm zone causes the float to rise, which in turn pushes the baffle to rotate upwards. Pressing the button triggers an alarm, promptly alerting the driver and facilitating further maintenance and timely treatment of the water in the water tank. This allows for timely atomization of the condensate while simultaneously incorporating an alarm structure for prompt maintenance.

[0007] Preferably, the partition has an arc-shaped cross-section. This preferred solution reduces the cross-sectional area of ​​the alarm zone formed by the partition and the inner wall of the water tank by the arc shape, thereby reducing the area occupied by the water storage area and accelerating the rise of the liquid level in the alarm zone, thus speeding up the alarm response.

[0008] Preferably, the water storage tank has a drain outlet communicating with the alarm zone, and a drain plug is installed inside the drain outlet. This preferred solution facilitates the drainage of water from the alarm zone by providing a drain outlet and a drain plug.

[0009] Preferably, the water storage tank includes a tank body and a tank cover, the tank cover having an opening for inserting the water inlet pipe of the atomizing device, and a filter cotton is provided inside the opening.

[0010] This preferred design facilitates the maintenance of internal parts through the design of the enclosure and lid, while the filter cotton allows for ventilation while blocking dust.

[0011] Preferably, the lower end of the baffle is provided with a support block to restrict the downward rotation of the baffle, and the included angle between the baffle and the button is less than 90°.

[0012] This preferred solution limits the angle of the baffle's rotation by setting a support block, preventing the baffle from rotating to the side of the float and affecting the baffle's rotation.

[0013] Preferably, a counterweight is provided at the end of the baffle away from the inner wall of the water storage tank. This preferred embodiment uses the counterweight to allow the baffle to rotate downwards around its axis of rotation, facilitating a tilted position.

[0014] Preferably, the atomizing device includes an inlet pipe extending into a water tank, a water pump connected to the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe, and an atomizer located on the outlet pipe.

[0015] This preferred solution uses a water pump to draw condensate from the water storage tank and then atomizes it before discharging it.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the condensate from the air conditioner enters the water storage area of ​​the water tank, and the first level gauge reaches the first level, it transmits a signal to the atomizing device to atomize and discharge the condensate. When the first level gauge is not working, as the condensate increases, it flows through the baffle into the alarm zone. The rising water level in the alarm zone causes the float to rise, which in turn pushes the baffle upwards, causing it to press the button and trigger an alarm, promptly alerting the driver and facilitating further maintenance and timely treatment of the water in the water tank. This allows for timely atomization of the condensate while simultaneously incorporating an alarm structure for prompt maintenance. The arc-shaped design reduces the cross-sectional area of ​​the alarm zone formed by the baffle and the inner wall of the water tank, minimizing the area occupied by the water storage area and simultaneously accelerating the rise of the liquid level in the alarm zone, thus speeding up the alarm response.

[0018] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the following detailed implementation method will be used to explain the solution.

[0019] See attached document Figures 1-3 This utility model discloses a multi-sensor atomizing discharge device for vehicle condensate, comprising a water storage tank 1 connected to an air conditioning drain pipe 15, and an atomizing device connected to the water storage tank 1. The atomizing device includes an inlet pipe extending into the water storage tank 1, a water pump 2 connected to the inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, and an atomizer 20 located on the outlet pipe. The water storage tank 1 is equipped with a partition 13, which divides the water storage tank 1 into a water storage area 11 and an alarm area 12. The cross-section of the partition 13 is arc-shaped, that is, the projection of the partition 13 in the top view direction is arc-shaped.

[0020] The water storage area 11 is equipped with a first level gauge 14 whose position is lower than the top surface of the partition 13. The alarm area 12 is equipped with a float 3. The upper end of the float 3 is equipped with a baffle 5 that restricts the float 3 from floating upward and rotates to press the button 4. The baffle 5 is hinged to the inner wall of the water storage tank 1. The button 4 is electrically connected to the alarm.

[0021] The water storage area 11 is also connected to the air conditioner drain pipe 15, which is higher than the partition 13.

[0022] The atomizer 20, water pump 2, first level gauge 14, and alarm are all electrically connected to the control console. The control console is existing technology. Since the location of the first level gauge 14 is fixed, when the water level triggers the first level gauge 14, the volume of condensate in the water storage area 11 is fixed. Based on the efficiency of the atomizer 20 in processing condensate, the start time of the atomizer 20 and water pump 2 can be calculated, thereby performing timing.

[0023] The water storage tank 1 has a drain outlet that communicates with the alarm zone 12, and a drain plug is installed inside the drain outlet.

[0024] The water storage tank 1 includes a tank body and a tank cover 17. The tank cover 17 has an opening for inserting the water inlet pipe of the atomizing device, and a filter cotton 16 is provided in the opening.

[0025] The lower end of the baffle 5 is provided with a support block 6 to restrict the downward rotation of the baffle 5, and the included angle between the baffle 5 and the button 4 is less than 90°. The end of the baffle 5 away from the inner wall of the water storage tank 1 is provided with a counterweight 7.

[0026] In use, the condensate from the air conditioner enters the water storage area 11 of the water storage tank 1. When it reaches the first level gauge 14, the first level gauge 14 transmits a signal to the atomizing device to atomize and discharge the condensate. When the first level gauge 14 is not working, as the condensate increases, it flows through the partition 13 into the alarm area 12. The water level in the alarm area 12 rises, causing the float 3 to rise. The float 3 floats up and squeezes the baffle 5 to rotate upwards, squeezing the button 4 to sound an alarm, promptly reminding the driver and facilitating further maintenance and timely treatment of the water in the water storage tank 1. Thus, while atomizing the condensate, an alarm structure is set up for timely maintenance.

[0027] Of course, the above description is not limited to the examples above. Technical features of this utility model not described can be implemented by or using existing technology, and will not be repeated here.
