[0017] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] One embodiment of this utility model is provided: refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A filtration mechanism includes a valve body 11, on which an upper flange ring 12 and a connecting cylinder 13 are provided. A main pipeline is provided in the upper flange ring 12, the connecting cylinder 13, and the valve body 11. The mechanism also includes: Adjusting the plugging mechanism 2 and the filtering mechanism 3, which are located between the upper flange ring 12 and the valve body 11, are used to filter the liquid flowing through the main pipeline. The adjusting and sealing mechanism 2 includes a sealing cylinder 21, a connecting shaft 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the sealing cylinder 21, and an adjusting sleeve 23 is threadedly connected to the end of the connecting shaft 22 away from the sealing cylinder 21. The surface of the adjusting sleeve 23 is provided with anti-slip texture, and a sealing ring is provided between the sealing cylinder 21 and the connecting cylinder 13. refer to Figure 3 - Figure 5 The filter mechanism 3 includes a long plate 31, one end of which is fitted with a sleeve, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a plug 32. The end of the plug 32 away from the long plate 31 is fixedly connected to a frame 33. A filter element 34 is detachably installed inside the frame 33, and a locking head 35 is provided outside the sleeve of the long plate 31.
[0019] The sleeve at one end of the long plate 31 and the adjusting sleeve 23 are made of the same material and are mainly used for heat insulation.
[0020] A sealing ring is provided between the plug 32 and the connecting cylinder 13. The sealing cylinder 21 is provided with a channel 211 corresponding to the frame 33. The valve body 11 is slidably connected to the locking head 35 through a sliding groove. The locking head 35 contacts the long plate 31 through a groove.
[0021] The adjusting sleeve 23 is in contact with the connecting cylinder 13, and the connecting shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the connecting cylinder 13.
[0022] Working principle: refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper flange ring 12 is connected to the steam system pipeline via a flange. Steam and water in the steam system enter the valve body 11 through the upper flange ring 12, the connecting cylinder 13 and the main pipeline in the valve body 11. The steam trap is used to discharge water and prevent steam from being discharged.
[0023] In this device, the medium flowing through the main pipeline passes through the regulating and sealing mechanism 2 and the filtering mechanism 3. The filter element 34 in the filtering mechanism 3 filters the medium, thereby preventing impurities from entering the drain valve, avoiding blockage and improving service life.
[0024] After prolonged use, the filter element 34 needs to be cleaned and maintained to remove impurities. During operation, first rotate the adjusting sleeve 23. The adjusting sleeve 23 moves axially to the right along the connecting shaft 22 via its thread, releasing the contact between the adjusting sleeve 23 and the connecting cylinder 13. At this point, the sealing cylinder 21 is unlocked and can rotate. Next, disassemble the locking head 35 to disengage it from the groove of the valve body 11. Simultaneously, the sleeve on the long plate 31 disengages from the groove of the locking head 35. Hold the sleeve of the long plate 31 and rotate it. The long plate 31 causes the plug 32 and frame 33 to rotate 90 degrees, aligning the groove 211 on the sealing cylinder 21 with the main pipeline. The sealing cylinder 21 blocks the main channel, preventing steam and liquid from passing through. Then, rotate the adjusting sleeve 23 in the opposite direction to contact the connecting cylinder 13 and tighten it to lock the positions of the sealing cylinder 21 and the connecting shaft 22.
[0025] At this point, pull the long plate 31 away from the connecting cylinder 13 to remove the long plate 31, plug 32, frame 33, and filter 34 from the connecting cylinder 13. After removal, disassemble the filter 34 on the frame 33 for cleaning, and then reinstall the filter 34 into the frame 33. Subsequently, reinsert the assembled long plate 31 and other components into the connecting cylinder 13, loosen the adjusting sleeve 23, rotate the long plate 31 90 degrees in the opposite direction to release the obstruction of the sealing cylinder 21 to the main channel, and finally tighten the adjusting sleeve 23 to complete the installation.
[0026] Furthermore, the locking head 35 is connected to the valve body 11 by screws. When the long plate 31 is limited by the groove of the locking head 35, it can prevent the long plate 31 from rotating and prevent the long plate 31 and the plug 32 from being pushed out by internal pressure during operation. In this device, the sleeve and adjusting sleeve 23 at one end of the long plate 31 are both made of reinforced polyamide material, with nylon 66 (PA66) as the base material and 30% alkali-free glass fiber added for reinforcement modification, which blocks temperature conduction through low thermal conductivity.
[0027] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
