TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of fine filter of natural gas treatment methanol recovery device, and particularly relates to a filter core extractor and method of methanol recovery device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The fine filter is also called precision filter, and can play a filtering protection role on the alcohol-containing sewage treatment system. The filtering principle is that the liquid to be filtered is pressed into the filter inlet, penetrates through the filter layer from the outside to the inside of the filter core to form clean liquid, and then flows out through the outlet. The impurities and dirt in the sewage are intercepted in the deep layer and surface of the filter core, so that the alcohol-containing water achieves the filtering purpose. The size, structure of the filter and the size and number of the filter core depend on the design flow, medium characteristics of the filtered liquid. The fine filter is composed of two parts: the filter and the filter core. When the filter core is blocked due to a large amount of impurities and dirt in the alcohol-containing water, and the mud and solid impurities are stuck with the stainless steel filter screen inside the fine filter, it is difficult to take out. During maintenance, the filter core is taken out and replaced by using a hand hammer, crowbar, iron wire and other general tools. When the filter core is taken out by using the general tools manually, it takes a long time, a large number of personnel are needed, the labor cost is high, and the normal operation of the device is affected. When the filter core is taken out by using the general tools, the stainless steel filter screen inside the fine filter, the filter core fastening bolt and the nut are damaged. If the personnel use excessive force, the personnel may be injured due to slipping. In view of the above problems, a fine filter filter core extractor for natural gas treatment methanol recovery device is designed. Through patent network retrieval, 368 related patent extraction tools are obtained. Among them, the fixed beam type filter core extractor (patent number CN201354937U) is heavy in quality and complex in operation. The articulated type filter core extractor (patent number CN216913678U) is complicated in manufacturing process and needs to be operated by multiple people. The hammer type filter core extractor (patent number CN21521842U) is not easy to grasp the center position, and the extraction torque is difficult to control, which may cause damage to the filter core. The above filter core extraction tools cannot solve the difficulty in taking out the filter core. Through on-site investigation and measurement, a lever type filter core extractor suitable for on-site operation and capable of safely and quickly taking out the filter core is manufactured. SUMMARY

[0039] Example 1
[0040] A filter cartridge remover for a methanol recovery device, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the device includes a lever 1. A fixing hole 13 is provided on the side wall of one end of the lever 1. The other end of the lever 1 is fixedly connected to a handle 14. Several displacement holes 12 are provided axially on the side wall of the middle part of the lever 1. A fixing structure is provided at the fixing hole 13. The fixing structure is used to fix to the cylinder wall of the methanol recovery device. The displacement holes 12 are used to fix to the extraction structure. The extraction structure is set on different displacement holes 12 according to the position of the filter element in the methanol recovery device.
[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the diameter of the lever 1 with a fixing hole 13 or a shifting hole 12 is smaller than the diameter of the lever 1 without a fixing hole 13 or a shifting hole 12.
[0042] Specifically, lever 1 and handle 14 can be disconnected and fixedly connected by means such as threaded connection or riveting. A force-adding rod can be added between lever 1 and handle 14 to increase torque and facilitate removal.
[0043] Specifically, the handle 14 has anti-slip textures to increase friction and make it easier to use.
[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the fixing structure includes a first U-shaped clip 51, a first locking nut 41, a first adjusting screw 31, a first nut 9, and a fixed-end U-shaped clip 2, as follows. Figure 5As shown, the first U-shaped clip 51 has a U-shaped structure. First through holes 17 with the same diameter as the fixing hole 13 are opened on both side walls. First threaded holes 15 are opened at the bottom of the first U-shaped clip 51. The first U-shaped clip 51 is clipped on both sides of the fixing hole 13, so that the first through holes 17 are aligned with the fixing hole 13. First shift pins 61 are provided in the first through holes 17 and the fixing hole 13. The lever 1 and the first U-shaped clip 51 are fixedly connected by the first shift pins 61. A first adjusting screw 31 is vertically provided below the first U-shaped clip 51. The top of the first adjusting screw 31 is engaged with the first threaded hole 15. A first locking nut 41 is provided below the first threaded hole 15. The first locking nut 41 is sleeved on the outside of the first adjusting screw 31. The bottom of the first adjusting screw 31 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the closed end of the fixed end U-shaped clip 2. A first nut 9 is provided above the fixed tube U-shaped clip 2. The first nut 9 is sleeved on the outside of the first adjusting screw 31.
[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the side wall of the fixed end U-shaped card 2 is an arc-shaped surface. The curvature of the arc-shaped surface is the same as that of the cylinder wall of the methanol recovery device, which improves the fit and prevents the fixed structure from slipping off the cylinder wall.
[0046] Specifically, the first U-shaped card 51 is equipped with anti-slip rubber 8 inside. During operation, the first U-shaped card 51 is fixed to the cylinder wall of the methanol recovery device. By setting the anti-slip rubber 8 inside the first U-shaped card 51, the anti-slip rubber 8 is sandwiched between the first U-shaped card and the cylinder wall, which plays a role in preventing slippage.
[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 7 and 9 As shown, the extraction structure includes a second U-shaped clip 52, a second locking nut 42, a second adjusting screw 32, a second nut 10, and a clip extraction assembly 7. The second U-shaped clip 52 has a U-shaped structure, with second through holes 18 on both side walls having the same diameter as the shift hole 12. A second threaded hole 16 is provided at the bottom of the second U-shaped clip 52. The second U-shaped clip 52 is engaged with both sides of the shift hole 12, aligning the second through holes 18 with the shift hole 12. A second shift pin 62 is provided inside the second through hole 18 and the shift hole 12, allowing the second threaded hole 62 to be inserted. The shift pin 62 fixes the lever 1 to the second U-shaped clip 52. The second U-shaped clip 52 is vertically provided below the second adjusting screw 32. The top of the second adjusting screw 32 is engaged with the second threaded hole 16. The second locking nut 42 is provided below the second threaded hole 16. The second locking nut 42 is sleeved on the outside of the second adjusting screw 32. The bottom of the second adjusting screw 32 is fixedly connected to the snap-out assembly 7. The snap-out assembly 7 is provided above the second nut 10. The second nut 10 is sleeved on the outside of the second adjusting screw 32.
[0048] A cavity 19 is provided in the middle of the buckle removal assembly 7 along the tangential direction of the methanol recovery device cylinder wall. A third through hole is provided below the cavity 19. The diameter of the third through hole is larger than the diameter of the filter element fixing screw, and the size of the cavity 19 is larger than the filter element fixing nut.
[0049] Specifically, a snap-fit removal ring 11 is fixedly installed inside the third through hole, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the snap-out ring 11 is a circular piece with a groove along the radial direction, and the width of the groove is slightly larger than the diameter of the filter core fixing screw.
[0050] Specifically, the fixed end U-shaped clip 2 and the first nut 9 are fixedly connected by welding or bonding, and the bayonet removal assembly 7 and the second nut 10 are fixedly connected by welding or bonding.
[0051] Specifically, the groove depth of the snap-out ring 11 is determined according to the position of the filter element fixing screw.
[0052] Example 2
[0053] A method for removing a filter element from a methanol recovery device, based on a filter element remover for a methanol recovery device in Example 1, includes the following steps:
[0054] According to the position of the filter element to be removed in the methanol recovery device, a removal structure is set on the appropriate replacement hole 12;
[0055] By fixing the fixed structure to the cylinder wall of the methanol recovery device, the snap-out assembly 7 is fitted onto the outside of the filter element fixing nut, so that the snap-out ring 11 locks the filter element fixing screw and is fixed by the difference in cross-sectional diameter between it and the filter element fixing nut. Then, the handle 14 is lifted to remove the filter element, which effectively improves the removal efficiency, saves time and manpower, and greatly reduces the operational risks for operators. By providing several shifting holes 12 in the middle of the lever 1, the upper part of the removal end is connected to the second U-shaped clip 52, which is connected to the shifting hole 12 through the shifting pin 6. This makes it easy to fix the second U-shaped clip 52 in different shifting holes 12 according to the required position of the filter element, thereby effectively improving the applicability of the entire removal equipment.
