Under such a structure, this sump device can provide excellent liquid discharge control functions.

In order to give your reviewers a better understanding and understanding of the characteristics of the creation and the efficacies achieved, please provide a better example and a detailed description of the following:

First, please refer to the first figure, which is a schematic structural view of the water collector device 1 of the present invention, wherein the structural components include: a water collecting container body 2; a bottom surface 21; a drain port 211; a cover body 3; A gas inlet 31; a gas outlet 32; a spool 4; a float 5 a water level switch 6 and a valve body 7.

The water collection container body 2 has a bottom surface 21, and the bottom surface 21 has a water outlet 211; the upper portion of the water collection container body 2 is covered by the cover body 3 to form a closed cylinder column structure, but the cover body 3 is provided with a gas inlet. 31 and gas outlet 32. The water collecting container body 2 has a sliding column 4, and the floating ball 5 is disposed on the sliding column 4; the water level switch 6 is disposed in the sliding column 4, and the floating ball 5 is increased by the liquid 8 in the water collecting container body 2 When rising, touching or sensing the water level switch 6, the water level switch 6 can open the valve body 7 located outside the drain port 211 to discharge the liquid 8.

In the present creation, the water collecting container body 2 has a cylindrical shape, and a liquid 8 is stored therein, and can be discharged through the water discharge port 211 located on the bottom surface 21, and in order to prevent corrosion, the water collecting container body 2 is generally made of a corrosion-resistant material. Made of, for example, aluminum or stainless steel. Can refer to the top view of the second figure together The water collecting container body 2 is usually screwed to the lid body 3 through the bolts 33, and the source of the liquid 8 is a gas inlet 31 and a gas outlet 32 for allowing the gas of the water gas to circulate, thereby causing the condensation to be caused by condensation. The water vapor forms the liquid 8, and then stays in the water collecting container body 2. Steel wool can be further disposed inside the water collecting container body 2 to increase the ability of water vapor to condense.

When the spool 4 is disposed, one end thereof is connected to the cover body 3, and one end thereof near the bottom surface 21 is not in contact with the bottom surface 21.

In order to automatically discharge the amount of liquid in the water collecting container body 2 when it is nearly full, the present invention is provided with a floating ball 5 on the spool 4. The floating ball 5 can be a ring-shaped structure with a through-hole hole in the center, so that it can be worn on the sliding column 4 and slide up and down along the sliding column 4, and can also be floated together with the hollow sliding column 4. The ball 5 is disposed in the spool 4, and the float ball 5 is slid up and down along the inner wall of the spool 4 through the principle of the communication tube. The material of the float ball 5 may be a hollow plastic body or a foam having a density lower than that of the liquid in the water collecting container body 2, so that the sliding of the floating ball 5 can simultaneously perform corresponding lifting and undulating with the water level of the liquid 8. .

The sliding column 4 in the present invention is vertically disposed inside the water collecting container body 2, so that the floating ball 5 can have a better sliding effect, and the sliding column 4 is located near one end of the cover body 3, and the water level switch is disposed. 6 is one of the key components of this creation to control automatic drainage, which can be a reed; please refer to the third A diagram, as the moisture contained in the injected gas A _W condenses into liquid 8, and then splits away When the gas A _D and the liquid L are separated, when the float ball 5 rises to a certain height due to the increase of the liquid 8 in the water collecting container body 2, when the floating ball 5 touches or senses the water level switch 6, the water level The switch 6 transmits a signal to open the valve body 7 at the drain port 211 to discharge the liquid 8.

The valve body 7 can be selected from commercially available solenoid valves, whether it is a direct-acting solenoid valve, a distributed direct-acting solenoid valve or a pilot-operated solenoid valve, which controls or guides the closing of the solenoid valve through electromagnetic force. The lifting of the piece causes the valve to close or open, but the latter two are not applicable if the horizontal setting is considered. Further, the valve body 7 and the drain port 211 are connected by a line 71.

Since the valve body 7 is opened by the sensing result of the water level switch 6, the liquid collected in the water collecting container body 2 flows out along the drain port 211 and the valve body 7; however, in order to avoid the flow of the liquid 8 The gas of the water-containing gas also follows the escape of the pipeline (for example, hydrogen in a hydrogen fuel cell). Therefore, please refer to the third panel B. The creation is away from the water level switch 6 to a distance after the float 5 descends with the horizontal plane. When D, the valve body 7 is closed again, and the liquid 8 is stopped to continue to flow out. The distance D can be different depending on the design of the water level switch 6.

In addition to the water level switch 6 disposed near one end of the cover body 3, the spool 4 is further provided with a lower stop member 41 and an upper stop member 42 at one end near the bottom surface 21 and an end portion adjacent to the cover body 3 as a protection mechanism. When the liquid 8 in the water collecting container body 2 is reduced and the horizontal plane is lowered to a certain height, the floating ball 5 may descend with the horizontal plane, but may be supported by the stopping member 41 after being contacted with the stopping member 41. The upper stop member 42 prevents the floating ball 5 from rising excessively.

When the authoring device is installed in a mobile vehicle application, the liquid level of the liquid 8 in the water collecting container body 2 may fluctuate due to vibration, so the present invention places the spool 4 in the center of the water collecting container body 2. The relationship between the spool 4 and the drain port 221 is concentric, so that the influence of the liquid surface of the liquid 8 on the float ball 5 can be minimized when the liquid level of the liquid 8 fluctuates in all directions.

In addition, referring to the fourth figure, the present invention further includes a reed sensing area 43 in the strut 4, which is disposed in the center of the collecting container body 2, that is, the strut 4, and The water level switch 6 is at the same height. Since the float ball 5 contains a magnetic element, when the float ball 5 floats up into the reed sensing area 43, the water level switch 6 is activated, which allows the overall sump device to be operated to allow the tilt angle to be maximized while still maintaining The internal gas does not leak, and this is the same purpose as designing the spool 4 and the drain port 211 to be coaxial.

The water trap device of the present invention is a floating ball type switch-starting solenoid valve, instead of a mechanical automatic opening, which can avoid leakage of low-pressure gas such as hydrogen in the connected system, and can automatically follow the body of the water collecting container. The liquid highly and instantaneously allows the solenoid valve to react to open or close, to avoid the liquid in the body of the water collecting container exceeding the standard or too low, and can be conveniently installed in a variety of systems requiring closed liquid control, undoubtedly A water collector device with both economic and practical value.
