Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil and gas separation and recovery technology, and specifically relates to a vehicle-mounted oil and gas separation and recovery device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid growth in car ownership, the demand for gasoline consumption is constantly increasing, making efforts to reduce pollution from car use increasingly urgent. Due to the volatile nature of gasoline, the amount of gasoline vapors escaping from the fuel tank during use, especially during refueling, is increasing at an alarming rate every year. Test results show that approximately 1.5 grams of gasoline vapors evaporate for every liter of gasoline added to a car. As vehicle exhaust emissions become increasingly stringent, the amount of gasoline vapors evaporating during refueling has surpassed that of vehicle exhaust, becoming a major source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

[0003] In existing technologies, a small carbon canister is equipped in the vehicle's fuel system. This canister is used to adsorb the oil and gas emissions caused by heat loss and daytime losses, but not for adsorbing oil and gas during the refueling process. Therefore, the existing vehicle system cannot recover the oil and gas during refueling, resulting in resource waste and environmental pollution. Even if the oil and gas during refueling is introduced into the carbon canister in the existing vehicle fuel system through an external pipeline, although some oil and gas separation can be achieved, the small carbon canister cannot handle the large amount of oil and gas generated during refueling and the separation is incomplete. In addition, additional devices or methods are needed to solve the problem of activated carbon regeneration.

[0004] Patent document CN116571023B discloses a pre-oil-gas separation device, including an oil-gas separation mechanism, a lubricating oil tank, a first conduit disposed on the lubricating oil tank, and an oil-gas separation component disposed at the end of the first conduit; a collection mechanism, including an air box disposed in the middle of the first conduit, and a collection component disposed on the air box; and a filtration mechanism, including a receiving component disposed on the air box, a one-way valve disposed on the receiving component, and an oil pipe disposed between the one-way valve and the lubricating oil tank. The filter plate is composed of high-density stainless steel ultrafine foil strips, which can effectively separate part of the lubricating oil in the air. The inclined plate is designed to better limit the oil residue and can effectively guide foreign objects in the oil into the sludge discharge pipe for easy discharge of oil residue. The sludge guide groove can effectively discharge oil residue. The motor is designed to better drive the device. The second gear is rotatably connected to the filter box through a bearing. Although this patent can pre-treat oil and gas, its separation method is too complicated. The patent uses both gears and belts, which leads to inconvenience in maintenance and a large footprint, making it unsuitable for automotive systems. In addition, this patent cannot complete oil and gas recovery. Summary of the Invention

[0016] The routine oil and gas separation and recovery method S1 includes the following steps:

[0017] S11, oil and gas enter the interior of the separator assembly through the oil and gas discharge pipe, and the heavier oil falls into the oil storage pipe, realizing the initial separation of oil and gas.

[0018] S12, part of the oil-containing gas enters the second cylinder through the fourth and sixth through holes, and the other part first enters the second cylinder through the third through hole, then through the fifth through hole and the sixth through hole, and achieves a second oil-gas separation through collision;

[0021] The rapid oil and gas separation and recovery method S2 includes the following steps:

[0022] S21, as the oil and gas in the oil tank continue to enter the separator assembly, when the gas pressure in the separator assembly rises to the preset high value of the pressure sensor, the pressure sensor will feed back the signal to the PLC control system and start the variable frequency motor.

[0023] In step S22, the variable frequency motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and several rotating blades rotate to generate centrifugal force, making the initial oil-gas separation in step S11 more obvious. At the same time, the collision frequency in step S12 is more frequent, and the second oil-gas separation effect is enhanced.

[0024] S23, the rotation of the shaft causes the linkage plate, lifting block and pressing block assembly to rotate synchronously, and the oil in the inclined sealing cover falls into the bottom of the separator assembly through the sponge plate;

[0025] S24, after a preset time, the rotation of the variable frequency motor is stopped, the second solenoid valve is opened, and the pressurized gas in the separator assembly is discharged through the exhaust port. When the pressure of the pressurized gas in the separator assembly drops to the preset low value of the pressure sensor, the second solenoid valve is closed.

[0026] The method S3 for periodically compressing the sponge board includes the following steps:

[0027] S31, by adjusting the position of the component to move down, the guide plate, lifting shaft, linkage plate and lifting block are moved down as a whole, the spring is compressed, the conical end engages with the conical opening, the downward movement of the lifting block causes the moving block to move towards the sponge plate along the length of the guide groove, the sponge plate that is in contact with the sponge plate is compressed, and the oil is squeezed into the bottom of the separator component.

[0028] S32, start the variable frequency motor and make it run at low speed, the sponge board is continuously squeezed in the circumferential direction;

[0029] S33, after a preset time, stops the operation of the variable frequency motor, returns the adjustment components to their initial state, and the guide plate, lifting shaft, linkage plate and lifting block are all reset under the action of springs.

[0052] The oil tank 100 includes an oil tank inlet 110, an oil and gas discharge pipe 120, and an oil return pipe 130.

The oil and gas generated in the oil tank 100 can be quickly introduced into the separator assembly 200 through the one-way valve 121.

[0053] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the oil and gas in the fuel tank 100 do not leak out, an auxiliary refueling pipe can be installed at the fuel tank inlet 110, and a one-way valve can be installed on the auxiliary refueling pipe.

[0063] The present invention also provides a method of using an on-board oil-gas separation and recovery device, the method of use including the following methods: daily oil-gas separation and recovery method S1, rapid oil-gas separation and recovery method S2, and sponge plate periodically compressed method S3;

[0064] The routine oil and gas separation and recovery method S1 includes the following steps:

[0065] S11, the oil and gas in the oil tank 100 enter the interior of the separator assembly 200 through the oil and gas discharge pipe 120, and its speed and direction change. The heavier oil falls into the oil storage pipe 240, realizing the initial separation of oil and gas.

[0066] S12, part of the oil-containing gas enters the second cylinder 530 through the fourth through hole 512 and the sixth through hole 531, and the other part first enters the second cylinder 530 through the third through hole 511, and then through the fifth through hole 521 and the sixth through hole 531, and achieves the second oil-gas separation through collision;

[0067] S13, the oil-containing gas entering the second cylinder 530 enters the sponge plate 600, and the oil is absorbed by the sponge plate 600, thus achieving the third oil-gas separation.

[0068] S14, the gas enters the exhaust port 212 and passes through the wire mesh demister 213 to achieve the fourth oil-gas separation;

[0069] The rapid oil and gas separation and recovery method S2 includes the following steps:

[0070] S21, as the oil and gas in the oil tank 100 continue to enter the separator assembly 200, when the gas pressure in the separator assembly 200 rises to the preset high value of the pressure sensor 122, the pressure sensor 122 will feed the signal back to the PLC control system and start the variable frequency motor 410.

[0071] In step S22, the variable frequency motor 410 drives the rotating shaft 420 to rotate, and several rotating blades 430 rotate to generate centrifugal force, making the initial oil-gas separation in step S11 more obvious. At the same time, the collision frequency in step S12 is more frequent, and the second oil-gas separation effect is enhanced.

[0072] S23, the rotation of the rotating shaft 420 causes the linkage plate 740, lifting block 750 and pressing block assembly to rotate synchronously, and the oil in the inclined sealing cover 540 falls into the bottom of the separator assembly 200 through the sponge plate 600.

[0073] S24, after a preset time, the rotation of the variable frequency motor 410 is stopped, the second solenoid valve 901 is opened through the PLC system, and the pressurized gas in the separator assembly 200 is discharged through the exhaust port 212. When the pressure of the pressurized gas in the separator assembly 200 drops to the preset low value of the pressure sensor 122, the second solenoid valve 901 is closed through the PLC system.

[0074] The method S3 for periodically compressing the sponge board includes the following steps:

[0075] S31, by adjusting the position of component 300 downward, guide plate 710, lifting shaft 730, linkage plate 740 and lifting block 750 are moved downward as a whole, spring 720 is compressed, tapered end 731 engages with tapered opening 451, the downward movement of lifting block 750 causes moving block 820 to move along the length direction of guide groove 811 towards sponge plate 600, sponge plate 600 in contact with sponge plate abutment surface 823 is compressed, oil is squeezed into the bottom of separator component 200;

[0076] S32, start the variable frequency motor 410 to make it run at low speed, and the sponge board 600 is continuously squeezed in the circumferential direction.

[0077] S33, after a preset time, the operation of the variable frequency motor 410 is stopped, the adjustment component 300 is returned to its initial state, and the guide plate 710, lifting shaft 730, linkage plate 740 and lifting block 750 are all reset under the action of spring 720.

[0078] It is easy to understand that during the second oil-gas separation process through collision, the oil-gas mixture can collide back and forth between the third through hole 511, the fourth through hole 512, the fifth through hole 521 and the sixth through hole 531.

[0079] Furthermore, during the periodic compression of the sponge board, the current system uses a low-speed variable frequency motor 410. The holes corresponding to the adjusting screw 310 and the lifting shaft 730 are clearance-fitted. When the sponge board is periodically compressed, the guide plate 710 and adjusting screw 310 do not rotate, while the lifting shaft 730 rotates. Therefore, the adjusting screw 310 needs to be replaced periodically. In larger vehicles with sufficient installation space, two electric push rods can be installed on the top of the separating top plate 220. The guide plate 710 can be replaced with a piston, and the extension shafts of the two electric push rods can be connected to the pistons. Lifting and lowering can then be achieved via the electric push rods, eliminating the need for the spring 720.

[0080] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
