Detailed Description

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. However, these embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention, and structural, methodical, or functional changes that may be made by one of ordinary skill in the art based on these embodiments are all included in the scope of the present invention.

Reference is first made to fig. 1, which shows a specific embodiment of a condensate neutralizing device 100 of the present invention. The condensate water neutralizing device is suitable for condensing gas water heating equipment, such as a gas water heater or a gas boiler and the like, and comprises a cylinder body 20 and a top cover 10 arranged on the cylinder body. Referring to fig. 2, the barrel 20 extends vertically and longitudinally, and defines a receiving cavity 23 therein. A plurality of neutralizer particles 50 (only a plurality of neutralizer particles are shown at the top) are filled in the receiving cavity, and the neutralizer particles may be made of an alkaline substance such as calcium carbonate. The bottom of the cylinder 20 is provided with a nozzle 22 protruding downwards for connecting with the water pipe of the sewer pipe. As best seen in fig. 4, a drain member 30 is disposed vertically lengthwise within the housing chamber 23 and has a vertically extending sidewall defining a drain channel 34 in the area surrounded by the sidewall and separating the drain channel 34 from the neutralizer particles 50 within the housing chamber 23. The drainage member 30 is fixed in the nipple 22 by interference fit, with its top 31 closed and its bottom formed with a drainage opening 32 communicating with a drainage channel 34.

The drain 30 is also provided with a plurality of vertically extending drain slots 332 in the side walls, each drain slot 332 being sized to allow water to pass through but not the neutralizer particles 50. The drain tank 332 is disposed adjacent to the bottom wall of the barrel 20, and the vertical bottom of the drain tank 332 is spaced from the bottom wall of the barrel 20. The drainage groove 332 is arranged close to the bottom wall of the cylinder 20, so that condensed water can fully contact and react with the neutralizer particles from top to bottom after entering the accommodating cavity 23, and finally flows out through the drainage groove 332; in addition, impurities such as floc, which are generated during the neutralization reaction, are accumulated on the bottom wall of the cylinder 20, so that the vertical bottom of the drain groove 332 is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the cylinder 20 by a certain distance to prevent the impurities from entering the drain groove 332 or blocking the drain groove 332. The side wall of the drainage member 30 is further provided with a plurality of vertically extending bypass grooves 331, and the bypass grooves 331 are vertically spaced from the drainage grooves 332 and are higher than the drainage grooves 332. In the present embodiment, the bypass groove 331 is disposed near the top 31 of the drain 30, and the tops of the plurality of neutralizer particles 50 within the receiving cavity 23 (the tops of the neutralizer particles 50 as shown in fig. 2) are lower than the vertical top of the bypass groove 331. With this arrangement, even if the drain groove 332 is clogged due to intrusion of foreign matter or the like, the condensed water can enter the drain passage 34 through the bypass groove 331 and be discharged through the drain port 32.

Referring to fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the cap 10 is detachably connected to the barrel 20, such as by a screw connection. With this configuration, the condensate neutralizing device 100 can be continuously used and maintained, for example, once the neutralizing agent fails, the device can be disassembled and the neutralizing agent particles 50 in the receiving chamber can be replaced. The top cover 10 includes a cover 11, an abutting portion 12 protruding from the cover 11 in a direction away from the barrel 20, and a water guide portion 13 protruding from the cover 11 into the receiving cavity 23, wherein the abutting portion 12 is in fluid communication with the water guide portion 13. The docking portion 12 is adapted to be docked with a condensate drain pipe (not shown) of a gas appliance, and has at least two docking ports 121 and 122 formed therein in a vertical direction, the two docking ports 121 and 133 having different cross-sectional diameters, and by this design, the condensate drain pipes having different sizes can be accommodated. In the present embodiment, the bottom 131 of the water guide portion 13 is closed, and a water guide groove 132 is formed on the side wall of the water guide portion; further, the bottom 131 of the water guide portion is positioned just above the drain top 31, and the size of the water guide portion bottom 131 is larger than that of the drain top 31. With this structure, the condensed water flowing in through the docking portion 12 enters the receiving cavity 23 from the side to contact the neutralizer particles 50, and is prevented from directly flowing to the top 31 of the drain member and being discharged through the bypass groove 331 without reacting with the neutralizer particles 50. Thus, the condensed water is sufficiently contacted with the plurality of neutralizing agent particles 50 from the top down and is neutralized, ensuring that the condensed water finally discharged through the drain tank 332 is neutral.

The condensate water neutralizing device can be installed inside or outside the condensing gas water heating equipment, is particularly suitable for being installed outside the equipment, and is detachable in design, so that the neutralizer particles are convenient to maintain and replace.

It is obvious to a person skilled in the art that the invention is not restricted to details of the above-described exemplary embodiments, but that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention. The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim concerned.

Furthermore, it should be understood that although the present description refers to embodiments, not every embodiment may contain only a single embodiment, and such description is for clarity only, and those skilled in the art should integrate the description, and the embodiments may be combined as appropriate to form other embodiments understood by those skilled in the art.
