Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sight glass technology, and specifically to a sight glass valve. Background Technology
[0002] A sight glass is a device used to observe the material inside containers and equipment. In the polysilicon production industry, the sight glass valve of the drum is manually controlled. When it is not necessary to check the equipment status, the sight glass hole is on the inside of the equipment and is covered by a sight glass cover. The sight glass cover is connected to the outside of the equipment by a shaft, and a handle is mounted on the shaft. Rotating the handle controls the sight glass cover to cover or move away from the sight glass hole.
[0003] The current sight glass control method increases the time and cost of manual on-site operation, and it cannot observe the condition of the drum surface in a timely manner. Furthermore, the current sight glass cover and sight glass hole are sealed with wool felt. After a period of use, repeated opening and closing of the sight glass cover will gradually wear down the wool felt sealing ring. As silica solids continue to accumulate on the surface of the sight glass cover, and cannot be cleaned up in time, the wear rate of the sight glass cover on the wool felt will be accelerated, causing the gap between the sight glass cover and the sight glass hole to increase continuously, resulting in seal failure. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to develop a sight glass valve that avoids sealing failure caused by wear between the sight glass cover and the sight hole.
