Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an adjustable balanced oil collecting tank suspension mechanism and method for an oil collecting device, which enables an operator to conveniently adjust the horizontal deviation of the oil collecting tank at the top of the container (tank, tank) without entering the container (tank) in which the oil collecting device is installed, and belongs to the technical field of petroleum and petrochemical production equipment. Background Art

[0002] The oil collecting tank of the oil collecting device is installed horizontally in the sedimentation tank, oil separator, sewage tank, sewage pool and waste oil pool of the oil and gas field. Its most important technical indicator is to keep the oil collecting tank surface level. However, in the actual production and installation process, the internal stress of the mechanical structure, the weight of the attachments and other factors cause the level of the oil collecting tank to change, thereby affecting the oil collecting effect of the oil collecting device, and causing the failure of "partial collection" and "water collection" of floating oil. The floating oil accumulated in the tank and pool cannot be recovered in time, causing disorder in the downstream process links, and technical parameters such as process processing volume, reflux volume, and outlet oil content are unqualified and fail to meet the design requirements, especially the oil content in water exceeds the standard, thereby affecting the entire oil, gas and sewage treatment effect; and when the oil collecting device is in the "partial collection" and "water collection" state, it will cause a large increase in the recovered medium, which increases the circulating processing volume of the entire device, causes energy waste, and greatly reduces the operating efficiency of the device.

[0003] Adjusting an unbalanced oil collection tank to a horizontal state requires removing the mechanical hanger and then adjusting the level of the oil collection tank by changing the gap between the hanger and the oil collection tank. This operation is very difficult during the installation of new equipment. The tops of operating tanks and pools are completely filled with flammable and explosive oil and gas, and even highly toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon monoxide accumulate. If an unbalanced oil collection tank is restored to a horizontal state in an operating tank or pool without cleaning the tank or pool, it is impossible. However, cleaning an operating tank or pool to meet human access standards is extremely cumbersome, consumes a lot of materials, labor, and materials, takes a long time, and easily causes environmental pollution. Therefore, how to level the oil collection tank at any time after the equipment is installed, without the tedious tank cleaning process, is a technical problem that needs to be solved in this field. It can improve the overall operating efficiency of the entire device and reduce energy consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an adjustable balanced oil collection tank suspension mechanism and method for an oil collection device, which can adjust the horizontal state of the oil collection tank at any time during the installation, commissioning and operation stages of the oil collection device without the need to clean the tank or pool, thereby reducing the operation and maintenance costs of the equipment, improving the equipment operation efficiency, and solving the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing technology.

An oil collecting tank rotary large pin 12 perpendicular to the L-shaped suspension component is provided at the intersection of the vertical section 5 and the horizontal section 16. Both ends of the oil collecting tank rotary large pin 12 are hinged on the two side walls of the oil collecting tank 15; the horizontal adjustment component includes a telescopic adjusting rod 6, a telescopic adjusting screw universal joint 7, an adjusting screw 8, an adjusting screw compression cap 9 and an adjusting slider 13. A vertically arranged chute is provided at the end of the horizontal section 16 of the L-shaped suspension component, and the adjusting slider 13 is located in the chute; the telescopic adjusting rod 6 is connected to the upper end of the adjusting screw 8 through the telescopic adjusting screw universal joint 7, and the adjusting screw compression cap 9 is provided at the connection; the upper part of the adjusting screw 8 is threadedly connected to the oil collecting tank levelling beam 10, and the adjusting screw compression cap 9 presses above the oil collecting tank levelling beam 10.

[0023] The large oil collection tank rotating pin 12 is hinged at the central part of the oil collection tank 15, and an oil collection tank rotating hinge reinforcing welding ring 11 is arranged between both ends and the two side walls of the oil collection tank 15.

[0024] The oil collection tank leveling beam 10 is welded on the oil collection tank 15 and is located in front of the large oil collection tank rotating pin 12; the oil collection tank 15 is suspended at the intersection of the vertical section 5 and the horizontal section 16 of the L-shaped suspension assembly through the large oil collection tank rotating pin 12, and the L-shaped suspension assembly can rotate around the large oil collection tank rotating pin 12. Anti-loosening nuts 14 for the large oil collection tank rotating pin are arranged at both ends of the large oil collection tank rotating pin 12.

[0025] A method for using the adjustable balance oil collection tank suspension mechanism of an oil collection device. By externally applying force to rotate the telescopic adjusting rod 6, the power is transmitted through the telescopic adjusting screw universal joint 7 to drive the adjusting screw 8 to rotate. The L-shaped suspension assembly remains in place. Since the adjusting screw compression cap 9 restricts the position of the oil collection tank leveling beam 10, the adjusting screw 8 drives the oil collection tank leveling beam 10 to move up and down, and the oil collection tank leveling beam 10 drives the oil collection tank to rotate around the large oil collection tank rotating pin 12, changing the horizontal inclination angle of the oil collection tank 15.
