Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of cyclone preparation, and in particular relates to a cyclone tube made of composite materials and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The cyclone in the oil field uses the density difference between the two liquids to separate the oil droplets from the water with the help of centrifugal force in the variable diameter cyclone tube. The structure of the oil field cyclone tube consists of four rotating bodies: the inlet section, the contraction section, the separation section, and the outlet straight pipe section, which are connected in sequence. At this time, these four sections are also called: vortex chamber section (i.e. section D), large cone section (i.e. section C), small cone section (i.e. section B), tail straight pipe section (i.e. section A), where sections A and D are both cylindrical sections, sections B and C are both conical sections, section D has the largest diameter, and section A has the smallest diameter (see the attached figure in the specification) Figure 3 ).

[0003] Currently, swirl tubes are mostly made of stainless steel and formed by mechanical processing. Swirl tubes are generally slender structures (the longest length can reach 2m, generally around 1.5m), and sections B and C are conical sections, which makes processing very difficult and the scrap rate remains high, directly increasing the production cost of the enterprise.

[0004] Therefore, the current disadvantages of the swirl tube are that the slender swirl tube is difficult to process and has a high scrap rate, which leads to high production costs for enterprises. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a cyclone tube made of composite materials and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problem that the slender cyclone tube in the prior art is difficult to process and has a high scrap rate, resulting in high production costs for enterprises.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned and other related purposes, the present invention provides a method for preparing a cyclone tube from a composite material, comprising:

[0007] S1: prepare a cyclone tube core mold and apply a release agent on the surface of the cyclone tube core mold;

[0008] S2: weaving the reinforced fiber fabric on the cyclone tube core mold by a weaving machine to form a cyclone tube preform;

[0009] S3: After the cyclone tube preform is woven, vacuum induction molding is performed;

[0010] S4: After the cyclone tube preform is formed, it is demolded by a demoulding machine, so that the formed cyclone tube preform is separated from the cyclone tube core mold.

[0011] As an optional scheme, in the step S1, the vortex tube core mold includes a vortex chamber section core mold, a large cone section core mold, a small cone section core mold and a tail straight pipe section core mold, and the vortex chamber section core mold, the large cone section core mold, the small cone section core mold and the tail straight pipe section core mold are integrally formed, or the vortex chamber section core mold, the large cone section core mold, the small cone section core mold and the tail straight pipe section core mold are spliced ​​and formed.

[0012] As an optional solution, in step S1, the specific method of applying the release agent to the surface of the vortex tube core mold is: applying the release agent to the surface of the vortex tube core mold at least 3 times, with an interval of at least 20 minutes between each application.

[0013] As an optional solution, in step S2, the cyclone tube core mold is mounted on a moving element, and the moving element drives the cyclone tube core mold to move along its axis at a constant speed.

[0014] As an optional solution, in step S2, the reinforced fiber fabric is woven on the vortex tube core mold by a braiding machine, the braiding speed of the vortex chamber section core mold is V4, the braiding speed of the large cone section core mold is V3, the braiding speed of the small cone section core mold is V2, and the braiding speed of the tail straight pipe section core mold is V1, V1 <V2<V3<V4。

[0015] As an optional solution, when weaving the large cone section core mold, due to the large change in diameter of this section of the core mold, the moving element is paused at the beginning of the large cone section core mold, and the braiding machine weaves a distance on the large cone section core mold at a speed of V2, then starts the moving element to continue to drive the vortex tube core mold to move, and makes the braiding machine weave the large cone section core mold at a speed of V3.

[0016] As an optional solution, the braiding machine braids at a speed V2 on the large cone section core mold over a distance of 15mm-25mm.

[0017] As an optional solution, the operation of step S2 is repeated at least twice, so as to weave at least two layers of the cyclone tube preform on the cyclone tube core mold, thereby achieving weaving forming of the cyclone tube preform.

[0018] As an optional solution, in step S3, the specific steps of the vacuum induction molding are:

[0019] The surface of the braided cyclone tube preform is covered with a demoulding cloth, a guide net and a vacuum bag in sequence, and a glue inlet is arranged in the middle and glue outlets are arranged at both ends;

[0020] The vacuum bag is packaged and then evacuated. After the pressure holding test, glue injection begins. When resin flows out of the glue outlets at both ends, all glue outlets and glue inlets are closed and placed in a curing oven for heating and curing.

[0021] The present invention provides a cyclone tube made of a composite material, which is obtained by adopting the above-mentioned preparation method.

[0022] As described above, the cyclone tube made of composite material and the preparation method thereof proposed in the present invention have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. The present application realizes the preparation of the cyclone tube by weaving and curing the reinforced fiber fabric. Compared with the cyclone tube made of metal, the present application eliminates the complicated machining and connection processes, and the cyclone tube is integrally formed. The cyclone tube core mold is simple to manufacture, the process quality is stable, and it can be reused. In addition, the number of cyclone tube core molds can be increased to improve the yield.

[0024] 2. The present application can also further reduce the difficulty of making the vortex tube core mold and further improve the yield rate by arranging the vortex chamber section core mold, the large cone section core mold, the small cone section core mold and the tail straight pipe section core mold into a splicing molding;

[0025] 3. Since the cyclone tube is mainly used to treat sewage, general sewage contains some impurities such as acids, alkalis, salts, alcohols, ketones, etc., which will cause oxidation reactions and other corrosion to the metal cyclone tube. After long-term use, the working surface (inner wall) of the metal cyclone tube will have corrosion marks (pits and grooves, etc.). The cyclone tube prepared by the composite material in this application has better corrosion resistance and can extend the service life of the cyclone tube;

[0026] 4. The cyclone tube made of metal is sensitive to the temperature environment and has a high thermal expansion coefficient, which is not suitable for long-term use in a high temperature environment. In addition, the metal material has a high density and the product is heavy, which limits the application and service life of the metal cyclone tube. The cyclone tube prepared by the composite material in this application has better heat resistance while ensuring its strength, lower thermal expansion coefficient and heat capacity, and lighter weight.
