Description

The equipment that distributes a kind of liquid

The present invention relates to be used for distributing a kind of equipment of liquid.

Concerning this equipment, it is that a kind of liquid is assigned to many need the input in the device of this liquid, and usually, these devices need different amount of liquid in the different time.This pressure that will cause device interior changes, and then causes that just the fluid flow at feedway is inaccurate.And normal conditions, the fluid flow that must supply with these devices is accurately.

The objective of the invention is to eliminate or alleviate the problems referred to above.

Therefore, among the embodiment of an indefiniteness in the present invention, be used for the equipment that dispense liquid provided to comprise: a liquid container; A plurality of devices that need to add liquid; A person in charge who distributes the liquid to device; Be used for the pumping plant of pumping liquid; The many pipes that reservoir vessel, device, the distribution person in charge and pumping plant are linked together; And valve gear, valve is used for liquid is flowed to device by pipeline, in addition, also the handlebar device excess liquid makes and flows to reservoir vessel, and therefore, liquid can be under a constant pressure, along equipment pumping continuously, no matter thereby need the quantity of liquid device what are in any one time, no matter also need the amount of liquid what are, can both guarantee accurately to supply liquid consistently to device at any one time device.

Equipment of the present invention provides a kind of simple and exquisite system, and though this system device at random or the requirement that changes, can guarantee liquid with the past multiple arrangement of a kind of accurate way confession.Because this equipment can just can be finished above-mentioned accurate supply easily with excess liquid blowback reservoir vessel.

In one embodiment of the invention, valve gear is a plurality of change-over valves, and each device has a change-over valve.

In another example of the present invention, valve gear is a plurality of paired valves, and is that each device has a pair of valve, and every pair of valve comprises that a controlling liquid flows to the valve of reservoir vessel, and controlling liquid flows to the valve of described device.

Preferably, this equipment comprises a mixer, and liquid is prepared before using therein.And distribute the person in charge preferably to be arranged near the mixer, yet, if desired, distribute to be responsible for also can be arranged in and leave the quite big distance of mixer.

Preferably a kind of like this equipment of this equipment, device wherein is many washing machines, liquid is a kind of washer solvent.Preferably a kind of pulvis that in water, is suspended state of this washer solvent.Yet washer solvent as an alternative also can be a kind of emulsion, a kind of detergent solution, a kind of washer solvent or a kind of paste of being made by liquid component.

Broadly, described device can be applicable to the liquid of any operating mode and suitable any kind.

Referring now to accompanying drawing, introduce several embodiments of the present invention separately with method for example.

First equipment that distributes a kind of liquid, as shown in Figure 1.

Second equipment that distributes a kind of liquid is for shown in Figure 2.

Referring to Fig. 1, express the equipment 2, the equipment 2 that are used for distributing a kind of liquid on the figure and comprise a liquid container 4, and a plurality of device 6 that needs to add this liquid.

Equipment 2 comprises also that in addition a distribution that is used for distributing the liquid to device 6 is responsible for 8, and is used for the pumping plant 10 of this liquid of pumping.Pipe 12 links together reservoir vessel 4, device 6, the distribution person in charge 8 and pumping plant 10.

Equipment 2 is such, and it comprises a plurality of valve gears 14, and valve gear is used for making liquid to flow to device 6 by managing 12, also makes device 6 excess liquid flow to reservoir vessel 4.

Under the constant pressure of equipment 2 in its loop, pumping liquid continuously.Therefore, no matter need device 6 quantity of liquid what are,, can both guarantee that a liquid accurately is fed to device 6 consistently no matter also what are in the amount of any one time device 6 required liquid in any one time.

Valve gear 14 shown in Figure 1 is a change-over valve, and as can be seen, each device 6 all has a change-over valve.Flow arrows from Fig. 1 can change the flow direction of liquid by means of each change-over valve as can be known, or towards the direction of device 6, or turn back to reservoir vessel 4.

Referring to Fig. 2, in the equipment shown in this figure 2, indicate identical numbering again, so that contrast and understanding with the similar part of Fig. 1.In Fig. 2, valve 14 is a plurality of paired valves 16,18.Each device 6 has a pair of valve 16,18.Valve 16 controlling liquid flow to reservoir vessel 4.Valve 18 controlling liquid flow to device 6, and every pair of valve 16,18 is alternately worked mutually.When valve 16 was opened, valve 18 just cut out.Valve 18 is just opened when valve 16 cuts out.This mutual alternation of every pair of valve 16,18 makes by the fluid flow maintenance of valve gear 14 constant.

Device 6 shown in Fig. 1 and 2 is washing machines, and these washing machines only are scheme drawings, as the usefulness of explanation.Equipment 2 makes these washing functions in the different time domestic demand otherwise with the liquid of the washer solvent form of quantity.Since equipment 2 can be under unmodified pressure pumping liquid continuously, so when washing machine needed, the liquid of washer solvent form just can be fed in many washing machines with accurate dose and go.

Be appreciated that above-mentioned example of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawing introduction just provides as an example, can carry out various deformation.What for example, Fig. 1 and 2 represented respectively all is to be transported to five washing machines.But, can for example be to be transported to ten or 14 washing machines as required to greater or less than five washing machine input liquid.Device 6 machines that can be outside the washing machine.Device 6 can also be unit batching station independently, and continous batching washing machine for example, liquid can be the required any suitable batchings of specific device 6.Also have, pumping plant can be one or more pump, and the pump of any suitable and appropriate type all can use, and if desired, can adopt an above reservoir vessel.
