DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In this detailed description, the subject of the invention, the dirt trap cover (1), is only a better understanding of the subject. It is explained with examples that do not create any limiting effect on understanding. The invention is a condensate discharge device (100) of a condensing appliance, e.g. a boiler or combi boiler. It is related to a dirt trap cover (1) used together with the condensate drain. The dirt trap cover (1) is used together with the condensate drain. The combustion with the condensate water (CW) formed inside the device is attached to the bottom of the device (100). collecting dirt and particles that may occur during the process and removing them from the device. sealing by compressing the sealing element (70) which enables removal, The removable device that enables the condensate drain device (1) to be fixed inside the combi boiler. It is a dirt-catching cover. The dirt trap cover (1) contains at least one housing (10). Housing (10) central axis (CL) It has an essentially cylindrical shape, arranged around it. One end of the body (10) is open, the other The end is closed. At the open end, the retaining cap (1) is connected to the condensate drain device (100) There is a connection mechanism that enables the connection, for example, in the form of a geared structure. In this way, the cover (1) can be attached to or removed from the device (See Figures 4 and 5). Dirt 25 When the retaining cover (1) is fitted to the condensate drain device (100), the condensate water (CW) It contains at least one sealing element (70) to prevent leakage. Sealing element (70) is located between the dirt catcher cover (1) and the condensate drain device (100) It can be an o-ring. In the inner part of the shell (10), condensate water (CW) can accumulate. and there is a chamber (11) in which the transported dirt particles can be retained. 30 In a preferred application, the body (10) has a diameter that tapers towards the closed end. In other cases... In other words, the outer and / or inner diameter of the body (10) is the maximum diameter of the body (10) relative to the central axis (CL). It shrinks towards a lower section (60) located below it and the body (10) has a narrower form. This reduction in diameter results in cylindrical structures with successive diameter reductions along the body (10) 35 It happens gradually in such a way as to create transitions between them. The lower section (60), the body (10) forms the base part which is closed at the end. Preferably the lower section (60) has a conical form. 6 It can have. In other words, at least part of the subdivision (60) is central. It is a surface inclined towards the axis (CL). Alternatively, it is a sub-section of an inclined surface. (60) can also be a curved surface that progresses towards the discharge point (DP). In this way Condensate water (CW) is discharged in a controlled manner through a drain located on the central axis (CL). It can transport water to the discharge point (DP). The discharge point (DP) is 5% of the condensate water (CW). The lowest point relative to the central axis (CL) is the final position reached on the fuselage (10). The dirt catcher cover (1) must have at least one outer circumferential surface extending outwards from the body (10). It includes a steering projection (20). The steering projection (20) is the width of the body (10) length. at least along a part of it, namely along the central axis (CL) on the body (10) 10 It extends. In the preferred configuration, the guiding projection (20) is on the surface of the body (10). on top, below, to direct the flow of condensate water (CW) to the discharge point (DP). The section (60) is a structure that extends to the center. In this way, the guiding projection (20) directs the condensate water (CW) down the shell (10) 15 flowing along a designated path in the direction of section (60) until the discharge point (DP). It serves as a guide providing... There is a discharge passage (50) on the outer surface of the body (10). In a structure, this The evacuation route (50) can be defined between two directional projections (20). The evacuation route (50) is 20 It acts as a flow path (F) through which the condensate water (CW) can move downwards. Therefore, the guidance located on either side of the condensate water (CW) discharge path (50) It is blocked by the protrusion (20) and flows only along the discharge path (50). is provided. The dirt trap cover (1) contains at least one gripping element (30). Gripping element (30), The body (10) should be at least partially covered in such a way that there remains a gap between the outer surface of the body (10) and the body (10). It is located by surrounding it. The opening in question is the channel (40). Another In other words, the clutch located at a certain distance radially from the outer surface of the body (10). There is at least one channel (40) between element (30) and the outer surface of the body (10). Channel 30 (40) is curved around the body (10). However, the geometry of the canal (40) is curved around the body. (10) depends on the distance between the outer surface and the inner surface of the gripping element (30). The clutch element (30) is connected to the body (10) with at least one steering projection (20). It is connected. Therefore, one end of the coupling element (30) is directly connected to the body (10) The other end connected to the body (10) is connected via the guiding projection (20) 35 can be adjusted and thus a channel (40) between the body (10) and the clutch element (30) 7 It consists of. The condensate water (CW) passing through this channel (40) also goes to the discharge channel (50) It can progress. In one application, the gripping element (30) has two guiding projections as shown in Figure 7. (20) extending between these protrusions and curved around the body (10) connecting them. It is in the form of a clutch element (30) which collects both the condensate water (CW) and the dirt trap cover 5 (1) splashing out is prevented and the user's hand is not allowed to get into the condensation water (CW). It forms the part where the lid (1) can be removed by holding it without touching it. The dirt catcher cover (1) contains at least one groove (12). The groove (12) engages with the body (10). By positioning the element (30) between them, the condensate water (CW) is directed to the channel (40). Therefore, essentially, there is at least one channel through which the condensate water (CW) flows. The channel (12) is a flow path that opens into the channel (40). The channel (12) at least partially covers the trunk (10). It is in the form of a curve to surround it. Thanks to the groove (12), the dirt catcher cover (1) As soon as the dismantling begins, the condensate water (CW) is discharged into the channel (40) in a controlled manner. It can proceed to the discharge path (50). In this way, the turbulence of the flow is reduced and condensation 15 This prevents splashing of the water (CW) and contributes to its controlled discharge. In summary; the clutch element (30) surrounds the body (10), while the clutch element (30) and the body A gap is formed in the angular positions where there is no connection between (10) and this gap is channel (40) It functions as follows: In the regions where the clutch element (30) is in contact with the body (10) 20 There is a channel (12) and thanks to the channel (12) created in these areas, the condensate water (CW) is transferred to the canal (40) without interruption and continues to the discharge route (50) It is heading in that direction. Coupling element (30) 25 in the direction of the central axis (CL) to the condensate discharge device (100). It extends higher, closer to the trunk (10). Another In other words, the upper part of the clutch element (30) is further from the upper edge of the body (10). It is above. In this way, when the lid (1) is started to be removed and the water tank (11) has accumulated When the condensate water (CW) starts to come out of the dirt trap cover (1), the water in question It strikes the inner surface of the coupling element (30) and enters the flow path (F). In this way, 30 Splashing of water is prevented. The clutch element (30) runs continuously or intermittently along the circumference of the body (10). It can be arranged in a way that allows for reaching. In a preferred application, the grip... The element (30) has an upper section extending around the body (10) all around the circumference and 35 only in certain environmental locations, especially between two orientation protrusions (20) It has a lower section that extends in the sections. In this way, the outer surface of the body (10) and 8 The channel (40) between the clutch element (30) is formed only in the lower part; clutch In other surrounding areas of the element (30), the upper part of the clutch element (30) Since it is positioned higher than the fuselage (10) along the central axis (CL), Water is prevented from leaking all around the lid (1) and at the same time a grip The surface is being created. 5 In other words, when evaluated axially along the central axis (CL), the clutch element (30) is more upward (towards the condensate drain device (100)) relative to the shell (10). It is positioned to protrude excessively. However, the gripper element (30) is below The extension in the direction (in the direction of subsection (60) / discharge point (DP)) depends on the environmental location 10 It changes as follows, and in the angular positions where the channel (40) is formed (of the body (10)) (30) the gripping element further down (at certain angular intervals on its circumference) lying down, the gripping element (30) is in contact with the body (10) and the channel (40) In areas where it is not present, the duration is shorter. Therefore, the coupling element (30) is connected to the housing (10) and the condensate drain device (100) The inner surface of the wall functions as a surface that directs the condensate water (CW). It is observed that condensation water (CW) hitting this surface, instead of freely splashing out, flows inside. It is directed to the side and downwards, to the canal (40) and drainage route (50) area. Thus The flow (F) is controlled within the area between the coupling element (30) and the body (10) 20 It is oriented and the outer surface of the gripping element (30) remains dry. This situation, Enables the user to securely grasp the grip element (30) and prevents his hand from getting wet. It provides. In light of all that has been described, the invention works as follows: When the device is operating normally, 25 Condensate water (CW) formed inside the condensate drain device (100), the condensate drain device (100) including the container (11) located inside the body (10) of the retaining cover (1). Dirt and particles accumulate and are carried away by condensate water (CW) into the tank (11) It can be kept inside. The dirt trap cover (1) is screwed onto the condensate drain device (100). When installed, the sealing element (70) cover (1) and condensate drain device (100) 30 by providing a seal in the connection area between them, condensate water (CW) It prevents leakage from the connection area to the external environment. For maintenance or cleaning purposes, the dirt trap cover (1) should be removed from the condensate drain device (100). When disassembly is started, the cover (1) is turned to loosen the screw connection and the body (10) 35 Condensate is removed axially from the condensate discharge device (100). The condensate is removed from the shell (10). When the distance between the gear structure (100) in the discharge device is increased, at a certain point 9 The sealing element (70) can no longer provide a seal between the two components and The sealing line disappears. At this moment, inside the tank (11) and the condensate drain device Condensation water (CW) located in the lower region (100) flows out of the cover (1). It starts. Instead of first reaching the top edge of the shell (10), the condensate water (CW) Clutch 5 located closer to the condensate discharge device (100) than to the body (10). Instead of splashing freely outwards, the water hitting the inner surface of the element (30) reaches the inner surface of this surface. It is directed into the channel (40) between the body (10) and the coupling element (30). The condensate water (CW) then flows through the channel between the shell (10) and the coupling element (30). (40) it goes downwards and along the canal (40) the lateral guidance 10 It is transferred to the discharge path (50) on the body (10) which is limited by its protrusions (20). The diverting protrusions (20), channel (40) and drain path (50) together carry the condensate water (CW). The flow path (F) that follows the lower section (60) on the body (10) is formed It brings. It moves downwards on the body (10) along the discharge path (50). Condensate water (CW) is 15 degrees to the central axis at the bottom thanks to the geometry of the lower section (60). (CL) is collected towards a nearby evacuation zone, preferably the evacuation point (DP), and from there It exits the environment in a controlled manner, moving downwards, away from the external surroundings. During this process... flow (F), inside of the coupling element (30), channel (40), discharge path (50) and subdivision It is directed within (60). This explanation can be seen in Figure 10. Therefore, through the dirt catcher cover (1), in the condensate drain device (100) and in the tank (11) accumulated condensate water (CW) is released to the outside environment when the cover (1) is started to be removed. Instead of bouncing uncontrollably, they are moved in a controlled manner towards the evacuation point (DP). This is done. Thus, the condensate water (CW), which has an acidic character, reaches the technician's hands. This eliminates the risk of splashing onto other components of the device or surrounding surfaces. 25 In addition, thanks to the gripping element (30), the user can close the lid (1) without wetting his hand. A dry contact area is obtained where it can be safely grasped and removed. The scope of protection of the invention is specified in the claims attached hereto, and these detailed 30 The explanation cannot be limited to those given for illustrative purposes. Because a technically skilled person... the person, without deviating from the main theme of the invention, in light of what has been described above, similar It is clear that these structures can emerge.
