Holder 3 is a tubular body, and outflow opening 1e removably is fixed in its float chamber 1c inside in main body 1.Holder 3 has the path 3a that is connected with outflow opening 1e inner.Holder 3 extends between outflow opening 1e and the bottom 1f.As shown in Figure 2, valve seat 5 is fixed on the side of the both sides, bottom side end of holder 3 in the mode that is communicated with path 3a and outflow opening 1e.Each valve seat 5 is the hole that forms on holder 3 of screw-thread fit removably.As shown in Figure 9, each valve seat 5 has the opening 5a that can be opened and closed by valve body 6.Opening 5a by each valve seat 5 can discharge condensed water from outflow opening 1e.
Shown in Figure 11 A and Figure 11 B, each valve seat 5 has sealing surface of seat 5b around opening 5a.Sealing surface of seat 5b is located at the inside of float chamber highlightedly.Shown in Figure 11 B, for each valve seat 5, the cross section of the seamed edge 5c of its sealing surface of seat 5b is the right angle, and the relative outer circumference side edge face 5d of sealing surface of seat 5b becomes to give prominence to steppedly.
Moreover as shown in Figure 3, valve seat 5 preferably can easily and not have the embolization body 8 of opening 5a to exchange.In addition, as shown in Figure 4, valve seat 5 is positioned at outer and valve body 6 is arranged on the inboard.In addition, as shown in Figure 5, valve seat 5 and valve body 6 also can be and are formed with one structure respectively.In addition, shown in Fig. 6 A and Fig. 6 B, the side that there is not that valve seat 5 and valve body 6 also can be at holder 3 is provided with 2, and promptly both sides are provided with 4 structure.
Float 4 has spherical, the floating body 4a and the fork 4b of ellipsoid shape and other shapes.Float 4 is arranged on the inside of float chamber 1c and can moves up and down therein.Floating body 4a is because its inside is sealing state, therefore, and can corresponding condensation water quantity and produce buoyancy.Fork 4b is bent to two forks, to stretch from the outstanding mode of floating body 4a.As shown in Figure 2, valve body 6 is installed on the side on two fork fork 4b both sides of position of corresponding valve seat 5, and can be center steering with gyration center 6a.Valve body 6 has valve body sealing surface 6b, and it can swing up and down interlock and sealing surface of seat 5b slip relatively with fork 4b, and valve seat 5 is opened and closed.The outer circumferential side 6c of valve body sealing surface 6b is bent to form circular arc.
One distolateral being fixed on the floating body 4a at fork 4b warpage place, another distolateral holder 3 that clips, and can be fixed on its both sides pivotally with bearing pin 4c.Therefore, fork 4b can be that fulcrum is done rotation motion up and down in float chamber 1c with bearing pin 4c.Like this, valve body 6 is with the interlock and turn round with fork 4b of moving up and down of floating body 4a, and valve seat 5 slides valve seat 5 is opened and closed relatively thus.Valve body 6 with respect to fork 4b with glide direction and with the axis of the perpendicular direction of sealing surface of seat 5b (referring to Fig. 8) of valve seat 5 be that the mode of center steering is mounted.Be provided with the gap between the mounting hole of valve body 6 and fork 4b, when relative sealing surface of seat 5b slides, can be with respect to the Vertical direction swing of sealing surface of seat 5b, make valve body sealing surface 6b can with seamed edge 5c butt.As shown in Figure 7, when valve body 6 is closed valve seat 5, also the center 5c of the opening 5a of the gyration center 6a of valve body 6 and valve seat 5 can be designed to off-centre.Therefore, by the sealing surface of seat 5b of fluid dynamic generation and the surface pressure inequality of valve body sealing surface 6b, can make valve body 6 be easy to revolution.
Valve seat 5 is made by stainless steel.Valve body 6 is made by carbon class material.The material that constitutes this valve body 6 should be the material of and easy manufacturing littler than the stainless steel friction factor that constitutes valve seat 5, for than valve seat and the little a lot of and high material of hardness of valve body abrasion resistance generally made by stainless steel.Owing to adopt the material of the little carbon class of friction factor to make valve body, therefore, the pressure of the action of drain valve is increased.For example: adopting hardness is the material of the stainless steel of HRC11 or 56 as valve seat 5, and the carbon that then available hardness is HRC68 is as the material of valve body 6.In the occasion of using carbon class material, because the hardness height has reduced interparticle conjugation, when itself and stainless steel are slided, wearing and tearing easily.
In the past, the material of valve seat and valve body all uses metal, will improve machining accuracy for the frictional resistance that reduces sealing surface and make this smooth surface, simultaneously, in order in the spreadable life, to keep this surperficial integrity, heat-treat or alloy deposited with improve the surface wear resistance.The principal element that is treated as the manufacture cost rising like this.To this, in this float type drain valve, because valve body is littler than metal by friction factor and the nonmetallic material of easy manufacturing, that is: carbon class material or ceramic-like materials are made, therefore, and metal is compared as the occasion of material, easy to manufacture and can reduce manufacture cost.
Will the required power of action, that is: for the valve body required power F that slides on valve seat is expressed as:
F=μ * A * P μ: friction factor, A: valve seat area, P: hydrodynamic pressure
Because A and P depend on the size of drain valve and the fixed value of condition, therefore, power F is the function of coefficientoffriction.Usually, the material of valve seat uses metal, will make smooth surface (raising machining accuracy) on the one hand in order to reduce coefficientoffriction, will improve the wear resistance (heat treatment and alloy are deposited) on surface on the other hand.In the material of sliding parts, owing to used the carbon class material with self-lubricating property, μ only is 1/2 of a metal, and therefore, the required power F that moves also is reduced to about 1/2.Like this, under the certain situation of the size of drain valve and service condition, can make equipment miniaturization.Under the certain situation of device size, working pressure is increased.
Have, for valve seat 5 and valve body 6, both also can use carbon class material or ceramic-like materials to make again.In addition, also can be with carbon class material or ceramic-like materials material as valve seat 5, with stainless steel and similarly other metals as the material of valve body 6.Under the situation of using carbon class material,, therefore, has the advantage that seal increases and significantly reduces the effect of surface friction drag under abrasive action because to compare friction factor little with stainless steel, and have the little characteristic of conjugation between hardness height and particle.Have again, also can make the material ratio that constitutes valve body 6 constitute the wear resistance height of the material of valve seat 5.
Because in the float type Automatic steam trap Trap, its valve seat 5 is to be made by the different material of wear resistance with valve body 6 each other, therefore, when valve body 6 relative valve seats 5 slips open and close valve seat 5, the valve body 6 littler than valve seat 5 wear resistancies can wear and tear and seal is improved, and in addition, surface friction drag also diminishes.Therefore, be accompanied by and experience certain service time, the resistance force diminishes of the on-off action of valve body 6, performance improves.
Under slip effect on the sealing surface 5b of valve body 6 at valve seat 5, the wearing and tearing of carbon class material production reach the effect identical with abrasive machining, make the surface grind more smoothly.Can expect to obtain than the littler friction factor of metal and the double effects of fine and smooth surface roughness more.In addition, carbon class material has good heat resistance, can use below 400 ℃ fully.In the occasion of using drain valve,, therefore, with regard to the pressure of saturated vapour, can use under various conditions because the fluid that uses is saturation water or saturated vapour.
Shown in Figure 12 A and Figure 12 B, as the variation of valve seat 5 and valve body 6, replace the section constitution right angle of seamed edge 5c of the sealing surface 5b of valve seat 5, can make the section constitution acute angle of seamed edge 6d of the sealing surface 6b of valve seat 6.In this occasion, the seamed edge 5c of valve seat 5 is bent to form circular-arc.In the case, the also available friction factor of valve seat 5 and valve body 6 and carbon class material or ceramic-like materials easy manufacturing littler than metal are made, and compare with valve body with the general valve seat that is made of metal, and friction factor also reduces.Since the valve seat of making by this material 5 and valve body 6 with metal is compared easy to manufacture as the occasion of material, therefore, can reduce cost.
As shown in Figure 8, as the variation of valve seat 5 and valve body 6, the sealing surface 5b of valve seat 5 and the sealing surface 6b of valve body 6 can be formed on the curved surface shape of giving prominence to around the ratio on the direction toward each other, also can make and tilt to be conical surface shape on every side.So, make the occasion of simple plane shape with sealing surface 6b with the sealing surface 5b of valve seat 5 and valve body 6 and compare, the real area of valve seat is little, and the surface pressure of valve seat 5 increases, and can improve the performance of closing of valve.In addition, also have characteristics to be, make conical surface shape and compare with simple plane shape, that interferes during owing to switching may reduce, and therefore, can avoid part impaired.
As shown in Figure 1, in the float type Automatic steam trap Trap,, enter float chamber 1c through filter 2, in float chamber 1c, accumulate gradually from inflow entrance 1d from the machine of use steam and the condensed water of steam pipe line outflow.Float 4 can move up and down in float chamber 1c inside.When the condensed water in the float chamber 1c accumulated to established amount, float 4 rose under buoyancy function.
When floating function during in float 4, the distolateral relative holder 3 of fork 4b turns round upward, valve body 6 interlocks and relatively valve seat 5 slides the opening 5a unlatching of valve seat 5 upward.So, the fluid that accumulates at float chamber 1c is discharged from outflow opening 1e through the path 3a of valve seat 5 and holder 3.When condensed water when float chamber 1c discharges, float 4 descends, the distolateral relative holder 3 of fork 4b turns round downwards, valve body 6 relative valve seats 5 slide downwards, and valve seat 5 is closed.
Usually hydrodynamic pressure is that valve body 6 is moved to the direction of pressing to valve seat 5, therefore, the surface pressure of the sealing surface 5b of valve seat 5 and the sealing surface 6b of valve body 6 will raise and increase with hydrodynamic pressure, thereby improved airtight performance, in addition, because valve body 6 and valve seat 5 slides and does motion on the plane, therefore, valve close superior performance.
So, owing to be relative valve seats 5 slips of valve body 6 and valve seat 5 is closed, therefore, simple structure can enlarge the scope of working pressure when making equipment miniaturization.As shown in Figure 9, because valve body 6 is to move in the mode that relative valve seat 5 slides, follow the rise variation of opening area of (SEA LEVEL VARIATION) valve seat 5 of float just to become the variation of the interference area (representing) of circle and circle with oblique line.As shown in figure 10, the variation of opening area is also much slow than valve seat that moves up and down and sphere valve seat.Therefore, can prevent to be accompanied by sharply closing of internal valve and the water hammer that produces.In addition, opening under the state, also can continuous drainage under the little situation of condensation water quantity.Owing to reduced the number of times of action, therefore, can satisfy the raising of durability and the requirement of part long lifetime.
In addition,, therefore, existing relatively valve seat is arranged on the structure in the outside of fork fulcrum, can makes fork very bigger than (L1/L2 is referring to Fig. 1) because valve body 6 can be arranged on the approaching position of bearing pin 4c as the fulcrum of fork 4b.Therefore, can satisfy the requirement of high pressure use and then the miniaturization of energy implement device.
In addition, the floating body 4a of float 4 and fork 4b are constituted one, can only do rotation motion up and down, therefore,, thereby can prevent the breakage of float 4 even float 4 can be not out of control yet under the external interference of vibration etc. because the action of float 4 is restricted to.Because fork 4b unloads from holder 3 easily, therefore, can unload and safeguard easily from main body 1.
Valve seat 5 can be arranged to be positioned at the one or both sides of holder 3 sides, can at random change and be provided with number according to desired discharge capacity, can be one or more.Therefore, can enlarge by the number that increases valve seat 5 and can satisfy the scope that different discharging performances require, moreover, can also realize the generalization of part.In addition, by obstruction, can easily change the discharge ability to valve seat 5.In the past, in order to strengthen the discharge ability, under the situation in the aperture that enlarges valve seat 5, under the situation of the operating angle that does not increase fork 4b, can't make it be in full-gear.To this, by a plurality of occasions that constitute, can make the operating angle of fork 4b reduce also can increase opening area, thereby can increase the discharge ability at valve seat 5 and valve body 6.
In the float type Automatic steam trap Trap, because valve body 6 is not to be fixed on the fork 4b, but it is arranged to and can turns round on fork 4b, therefore, it is freely turned round when sliding with valve seat 5.Therefore, be difficult to injure sealing surface of seat 5b and valve body sealing surface 6b.In addition, also have the automatic cleaning action of removing attached to the chip on the valve seat 5, when can reach the effect that improves the valve airtight performance, realize the long lifetime of part.
The float type Automatic steam trap Trap, after being arranged on pipe arrangement, will main body 1 do not unload from pipe arrangement, unload and open main body 1 as long as will cover 1b from valve body 1a, just holder 3 can be taken out from main body 1, the parts that formed by float 4, valve body 6, valve seat 5 and holder 3 one the outside can be taken out to thus, therefore, formality and the expense safeguarded can be cut down.
As shown in figure 11, in this float type Automatic steam trap Trap, when the relative valve seats 5 of valve body 6 slided, the sealing surface 6b of valve body 6 was pushed down under the effect of seamed edge 5c of sealing surface 5b of valve seat at right angle, the attachment S of the chip on valve body sealing surface 6b surface and booty etc. can be cut.At this moment, valve body 6 makes valve body sealing surface 6b and seamed edge 5c butt with respect to the vertical line direction swing of sealing surface of seat 5b.Therefore, be easy to the attachment S on valve body sealing surface 6b surface is cut.
In the existing float type Automatic steam trap Trap that the relative valve 5 of valve body slides, according to the state in device that is mounted and the pipe arrangement, booty in the condensed water (chip) is attached on valve body and the valve seat, the surface friction drag of valve body surface is increased, consequently, in use cause the pressure decline that can make the drain valve action.To this, in float type Automatic steam trap Trap shown in Figure 11,, can prevent the decline of the pressure of the action that causes by attachment S by making attachment cut on valve body sealing surface 6b surface, improve performance and can keep normal performance.The fact shows, seamed edge 5c particularly near the standard-sized sheet when closing direction moves effect bigger.
Shown in Figure 12 A and Figure 12 B, cross section at the seamed edge 6d of the valve body sealing surface 6b of valve body 6 is under the occasion of acute angle, when valve body 6 relative valve seats 5 slide, the sealing surface 5b of valve seat 5 is pushed down under the effect of seamed edge 6d of sealing surface 6b of valve body of acute angle, the attachment S of the chip on surface and booty etc. can be cut.At this moment, valve body 6 makes seamed edge 6d and sealing surface of seat 5b butt with respect to the vertical line direction swing of sealing surface of seat 5b.Therefore, be easy to the attachment S on sealing surface of seat 5b surface is cut.When chip and booty etc. attached to valve body 6 and valve seat 5 on the time, the surface friction drag of valve body surface is increased, cause can produce the pressure decline of moving.By making attachment be cut sealing surface of seat 5b, can prevent from the decline of pressure that can produce action that causes by attachment S to improve performance and can keep normal performance.Because when operation, the pressure in the drain valve acts on and makes valve body 6 to the direction of pushing down with valve seat 5, and the effect of the high more seamed edge 6d of pressure effect is big more.
