Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of evaporator accessory equipment technology, and more specifically to an entrainer separator applied to evaporators. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, evaporators are widely used devices to evaporate solvents from solutions to concentrate the solution or obtain solutes. However, during the operation of evaporators, vapors often carry over some liquid. This entrained liquid not only reduces the evaporator's evaporation efficiency but may also adversely affect subsequent processes.

[0003] Traditional entrainment separators have several shortcomings when dealing with entrained vapors generated by evaporators. Some separators use simple gravity separation, which is ineffective at separating tiny droplets and cannot meet the requirements for high-precision separation. Other separators require additional power equipment to achieve gas-liquid separation, which not only increases energy consumption and cost but also makes the system more complex and difficult to maintain.

[0004] Furthermore, traditional separators are poorly adaptable to changes in steam flow and pressure under different operating conditions, easily leading to unstable separation efficiency. Moreover, if the separated liquid accumulates at the bottom of the separator and is not drained promptly and effectively, it may cause backmixing, further reducing the separation effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention aims to provide an entrainment separator for evaporators that achieves efficient and energy-saving gas-liquid separation through the coordinated action of a pneumatic drive mechanism and a centrifugal exhaust component, and combines intelligent water level control and modular structural design.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the magnetic pole direction of the second magnet is: S at the top and N at the bottom, and the magnetic pole direction of the first magnet is: N at the top and S at the bottom.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, the centrifugal exhaust assembly includes an installation component and a housing 1 and a housing 2 that are detachably installed via the installation component. The housing 1 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the installation component, and the housing 2 is snapped into the installation component. A cylindrical body is fixedly installed inside the housing 2. A cam is sleeved on the outer wall of the cylindrical body, and a plurality of spiral blades are also sleeved on the outer wall of the cylindrical body. The plurality of spiral blades are evenly distributed circumferentially along the axis of the cylindrical body. A drive shaft is provided at the bottom end of the bevel gear 1. One end of the drive shaft passes through the installation component and the cylindrical body and is connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the cylindrical body. The inner wall of the bottom opening of the housing 2 has an arc-shaped structure.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, a plurality of air inlets are provided on the top outer wall of the first housing, and a plurality of air outlets are provided on the top outer wall of the second housing. A connecting plate is fixedly provided at the top of the second housing, the connecting plate separating the air inlets and the air outlets from each other, and also includes an air outlet pipe.

[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention, the mounting component includes an upper ball and a lower ball, the upper ball and the lower ball being threadedly connected, and a movable groove being left between the upper ball and the lower ball after the threaded connection.

[0017] As a further improvement of the present invention, the liquid outlet pipe is located at the bottom of the outer wall of the separator body and is used to discharge the water at the bottom of the separator body. The separator body is provided with a water level valve assembly that opens or closes the opening of the liquid outlet pipe according to the water level.

[0018] As a further improvement of the present invention, the water level valve assembly includes a connecting rod one fixedly installed on the inner wall of the separator body, a float ball hinged to the other end of the connecting rod one, a connecting rod two fixedly installed on the outer wall of the float ball, and a flow baffle plate fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting rod two.

Finally, the spring in the pressure relief component, in conjunction with the sealing ball, achieves dual sealing and pressure regulation, ensuring safe and reliable system operation.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this disclosure, and not all of them. The components of the embodiments of this disclosure described and shown herein can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this disclosure is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed disclosure, but merely represents selected embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this disclosure without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figures 5-8 As shown, this invention discloses an entrainment separator for use in an evaporator, comprising a separator body 100, an inlet pipe 101, and a liquid outlet pipe 102. The inlet pipe 101 and the liquid outlet pipe 102 are both connected and installed on the side wall of the separator body 100. The invention also includes:

[0034] A pneumatic drive mechanism 300 includes a sealing pipe 304 connected to one end of the air inlet pipe 101 and communicating with the separator body 100. A pneumatic drive assembly is provided on the sealing pipe 304. The pneumatic drive assembly includes a transmission cylinder 305. The pneumatic drive assembly is used to convert the gas power entering the sealing pipe 304 into the rotational power of the transmission cylinder 305, and to discharge the steam gas entering the pneumatic drive assembly into the separator body 100.

[0035] The inlet pipe 101 is used to introduce the vapor gas containing liquid in the evaporator into the separator body 100 to provide gas to be processed for subsequent gas-liquid separation; the outlet pipe 102 is used to discharge the liquid separated in the separator body 100.

[0036] Furthermore, the steam generated by the evaporator enters the inlet pipe 101 through a pipe connection, and then enters the separator body 100; after the gas-liquid separation is completed inside the separator, the liquid gathers at the bottom of the separator body 100 under the action of gravity and is discharged through the liquid outlet pipe 102.

[0037] The pneumatic drive assembly further includes a mounting collar 301 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the separator body 100. A sealing cylinder 302 and a transmission cylinder 305 are fixedly disposed inside the mounting collar 301. The sealing cylinder 302 and the transmission cylinder 305 are tightly fitted together. A gas channel is provided inside the transmission cylinder 305. A drive pressure relief component is provided in the transmission cylinder 305 through the gas channel. A cavity and a slide are provided inside the sealing cylinder 302. A transmission component is provided in the sealing cylinder 302 through the cavity and the slide. The gas channel, the slide, and the cavity are coaxial and distributed sequentially from bottom to top.

[0038] The pneumatic drive mechanism 300 utilizes the power of the steam gas entering the sealing pipe 304 to convert it into the rotational power of the conduction cylinder 305, while simultaneously discharging the steam gas into the separator body 100, providing a power basis for subsequent gas-liquid separation.

[0039] Furthermore, the vapor gas carrying liquid enters through the inlet pipe 101 and then enters the pneumatic drive assembly through the sealing pipe 304.

[0040] The driving pressure relief component includes an air intake plate 306 symmetrically installed inside the transmission cylinder 305. The air intake plate 306 has a through hole that connects to the sealing pipe 304. A sealing ring is provided in the gas passage of the transmission cylinder 305. A pressure reducing chamber is provided in the sealing ring. A spring 307 is provided in the pressure reducing chamber. A sealing ball 3071 is provided at one end of the spring 307. Under normal conditions, the sealing ball 3071 presses against the opening of the pressure reducing chamber in the sealing ring that connects to the gas passage. An exhaust pipe 303 is fixedly provided at the other end of the pressure reducing chamber.

[0041] The mounting collar 301 is fixed to the inner wall of the separator body 100, providing a stable mounting base for the sealing cylinder 302 and the conduction cylinder 305, ensuring that they will not shift or shake during operation, and guaranteeing the stability of the entire pneumatic drive assembly. During separator assembly, the mounting collar 301 is fixed to a designated position on the inner wall of the separator body 100, and then the sealing cylinder 302 and the conduction cylinder 305 are installed inside the mounting collar 301.

[0042] Furthermore, the sealing cylinder 302 and the transmission cylinder 305 are tightly fitted together. The gas channel in the transmission cylinder 305 provides a flow path for the steam gas, and the cavity and slide in the sealing cylinder 302 provide a movement space for the transmission components. The two work together to realize the conversion of gas power into rotational power. The steam gas flows through the gas channel of the transmission cylinder 305, and at the same time, under the action of gas pressure, the transmission components move in the slide and cavity of the sealing cylinder 302, thereby driving the related components to rotate.

[0043] Furthermore, the air intake plate 306 is symmetrically installed inside the transmission cylinder 305, and its through hole connects to the sealing pipe 304, which serves to guide steam gas into the gas channel of the transmission cylinder 305, so that the gas can enter the driving pressure relief component evenly. After the steam gas enters from the sealing pipe 304, it enters the gas channel of the transmission cylinder 305 through the through hole of the air intake plate 306.

[0044] Under normal conditions, spring 307 pushes sealing ball 3071 to press against the opening at one end of the gas passage connecting the pressure-reducing chamber in the sealing ring, preventing gas from entering the pressure-reducing chamber. When the entering gas causes diaphragm 308 to bulge upward, diaphragm 308 returns to its original position downward through its own elastic force, and drives part of the transmission component to apply a downward thrust to sealing ball 3071. This causes sealing ball 3071 to overcome the elastic force of spring 307, allowing gas to enter the pressure-reducing chamber for depressurization, and then discharge into separator body 100 through exhaust pipe 303, which plays a role in regulating gas pressure and preventing excessive system pressure; after depressurization, it is discharged through exhaust pipe 303.

[0045] The exhaust pipe 303 is used to discharge the depressurized steam gas from the depressurization chamber into the separator body 100 to provide a gas source for subsequent gas-liquid separation. When the sealing ball 3071 is pushed open, the gas enters the depressurization chamber and is depressurized before entering the separator body 100 through the exhaust pipe 303.

[0046] The transmission component includes a sliding seat 3072 slidably disposed within a slide rail. The bottom end of the sliding seat 3072 is provided with an abutment rod 3073. A diaphragm 308 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding seat 3072. The outer edge of the diaphragm 308 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the transmission cylinder 305 and forms a semi-sealed environment with the transmission cylinder 305. A transmission rod 3074 is hinged inside the sliding seat 3072. One end of the transmission rod 3074 is eccentrically rotatably connected to the second bevel gear 3075. A second magnet 3077 is fixedly disposed on the second bevel gear 3075. A first magnet 3076 is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the cavity of the sealing cylinder 302. The first magnet 3076 is located on the lower right side of the second bevel gear 3075. The magnetic pole directions of the second magnet 3077 are: S at the top and N at the bottom. The magnetic pole directions of the first magnet 3076 are: N at the top and S at the bottom.

[0047] When gas enters the gas channel of the conduction cylinder 305, the gas pressure acts on the diaphragm 308. The diaphragm 308 drives the abutment rod 3073 and pushes the sliding seat 3072 to slide in the slide of the sealing cylinder 302, converting the pressure energy of the gas into the mechanical energy of the sliding seat 3072. The gas pressure acts on the abutment rod 3073, causing the sliding seat 3072 to overcome the friction in the slide and begin to slide.

[0048] Furthermore, the diaphragm 308 is fitted onto the outer wall of the sliding seat 3072, and its outer edge is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the transmission cylinder 305, forming a semi-sealed environment with the transmission cylinder 305. This semi-sealed environment can reduce gas leakage, ensure that the gas pressure can effectively act on the sliding seat 3072, and also help stabilize the transmission process; during the sliding process of the sliding seat 3072, the diaphragm 308 moves together with the sliding seat 3072, maintaining the semi-sealed environment.

[0049] Furthermore, one end of the transmission rod 3074 is hinged within the sliding seat 3072, and the other end is eccentrically rotatably connected to the second bevel gear 3075. When the sliding seat 3072 slides, the sliding motion is converted into the rotational motion of the second bevel gear 3075 through the transmission rod 3074. When the sliding seat 3072 slides, it drives the transmission rod 3074 to move, and the transmission rod 3074 pushes the second bevel gear 3075 to rotate around its axis.

[0050] Among them, bevel gear 2 3075 generates rotational motion through the drive of transmission rod 3074. Its rotational power can be further transmitted to other components to realize functions such as gas-liquid separation. Under the push of transmission rod 3074, bevel gear 2 3075 starts to rotate and meshes with bevel gear 1 209 to start rotating.

[0051] Furthermore, magnet 3077 is fixed on bevel gear 3075, and magnet 3076 is fixed on the inner wall of the cavity of sealing cylinder 302. Magnet 3076 is located on the lower right side of bevel gear 3075. The magnetic pole directions of magnet 3076 and magnet 3077 are "N at the top and S at the bottom" and "S at the top and N at the bottom", respectively. Utilizing the mutual repulsion between magnetic poles, the bevel gear 3075 driven by the single connecting rod encounters a dead point during eccentric rotation. The repulsive force between the magnet 3077 mounted on the bevel gear 3075 and the magnet 3076 mounted on the inner wall of the sealing cylinder 302 can assist the bevel gear 3075 in passing the dead point and continuing to rotate. At the same time, it plays a buffering and stabilizing role during rotation, reducing vibration and impact. When the bevel gear 3075 rotates, the magnet 3077 rotates accordingly. The magnetic pole repulsion between the magnet 3076 and the magnet 3077 always exists, assisting the bevel gear 3075 to rotate more smoothly.

[0052] In summary, when this entrainment separator is applied to an evaporator, the inlet pipe 101 introduces vapor gas entrained with liquid, which enters the pneumatic drive mechanism 300 through the sealing pipe 304. In the pneumatic drive assembly, a mounting ring 301 fixes the sealing cylinder 302 and the conduction cylinder 305, and the inlet plate 306 guides the gas into the gas passage of the conduction cylinder 305. The spring 307 and the sealing ball 3071 in the pressure relief component regulate the gas flow into the pressure reduction chamber under the contact of the abutment rod 3073. The depressurized gas is then discharged into the separator body 100 through the exhaust pipe 303. The sliding seat 3072 in the transmission component slides under gas pressure, driving the second bevel gear 3075 to rotate via the transmission rod 3074. Magnets 3076 and 3077 assist and stabilize the rotation of the second bevel gear 3075. This achieves the function of converting the vapor gas entrained with liquid in the evaporator into rotational kinetic energy.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] Please refer to Figures 1-5 This embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 1. This embodiment is made on the basis of embodiment 1 and has the same beneficial effects as embodiment 1. The same parts can be referred to each other, and will not be described in detail here.

[0055] As a further technical solution of this embodiment, a gas-liquid separation mechanism 200 is provided. The gas-liquid separation mechanism 200 is connected to the pneumatic drive mechanism 300. The gas-liquid separation mechanism 200 includes a bevel gear 209 and a centrifugal exhaust assembly. The bevel gear 209 is located inside the pneumatic drive mechanism 300 and is meshed with a bevel gear 3075. The gas-liquid separation mechanism 200 is used to convert the rotational power of the bevel gear 209 into the centrifugal air force of the centrifugal exhaust assembly, and to centrifugally separate the liquid in the steam through the centrifugal air force.

[0056] Among them, the gas-liquid separation mechanism 200, through the transmission connection with the pneumatic drive mechanism 300 (bevel gear 1 209 meshing with bevel gear 2 3075), converts the rotational power generated by the pneumatic drive mechanism 300 into the high-speed rotational power of the centrifugal exhaust assembly, thereby realizing the centrifugal separation of liquid droplets in steam.

[0057] The centrifugal exhaust assembly includes a mounting component 204 and two housings, a first housing 201 and a second housing 202, which are detachably mounted via the mounting component 204. The first housing 201 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the mounting component 204, and the second housing 202 is snapped into the mounting component 204. A cylindrical body 205 is fixedly installed inside the second housing 202. A cam 206 is sleeved on the outer wall of the cylindrical body 205, and a plurality of spiral blades 208 are also sleeved on the outer wall of the cylindrical body 205. The plurality of spiral blades 208 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the axis of the cylindrical body 205. A drive shaft 207 is provided at the bottom end of the first bevel gear 209. One end of the drive shaft 207 passes through the mounting component 204 and the cylindrical body 205 and is connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the cylindrical body 205. The inner wall of the bottom opening of the second housing 202 has an arc-shaped structure.

[0058] The top outer wall of the first housing 201 has multiple air inlets, and the top outer wall of the second housing 202 has multiple air outlets. The top of the second housing 202 is fixedly provided with a connecting plate 203, which separates the air inlets and air outlets from each other. It also includes an air outlet pipe 107, one end of which passes through the outer wall of the first housing 201 and communicates with the air outlets on the second housing 202.

[0059] The first housing 201 and the second housing 202 are detachably connected by a mounting component 204 to form a sealed space to guide airflow. The air inlet of the first housing 201 and the air outlet of the second housing 202 are isolated by a connecting plate 203 to ensure unidirectional airflow. Steam enters from the air inlet of the first housing 201, and after centrifugal separation, the gas is discharged from the air outlet of the second housing 202, while the liquid is thrown towards the inner wall of the second housing 202 due to centrifugal force.

[0060] Specifically, the connecting plate 203 is fixed to the top of the housing 202, separating the air inlet and the air outlet to prevent short circuit of the airflow and ensure that the separated gas directly enters the air outlet pipe 107. After the airflow enters the housing 201 through the air inlet, it is forced to flow downward to the centrifugal exhaust assembly. The separated gas flows upward through the air outlet and enters the air outlet pipe 107.

[0061] The mounting component 204 includes an upper ball 2041 and a lower ball 2042, which are threaded together, and a movable groove is left between them after the upper ball 2041 and the lower ball 2042 are threaded together.

[0062] The upper ball 2041 and the lower ball 2042 are threaded together to form a movable groove, which allows the cylinder 205 to adapt to small deformations during rotation, while providing support and simplifying disassembly and assembly. By rotating the upper ball 2041 and the lower ball 2042, the installation angle or position of the cylinder 205 can be adjusted, and the movable groove compensates for displacement caused by thermal expansion and contraction or vibration.

[0063] Furthermore, the drive shaft 207 drives the cylinder 205 to rotate at high speed, and the spiral blades 208 generate strong centrifugal force, causing the liquid droplets in the steam to gather and fall towards the inner wall of the second shell 202. After the steam enters the second shell 202, the spiral blades 208 rotate with the cylinder 205, and the liquid droplets are separated from the airflow due to centrifugal force and flow into the bottom of the separator body 100 along the inner wall of the second shell 202. The bottom contour of the second shell 202 is arc-shaped, which accelerates the steam to enter the space between the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 through the exhaust port of the exhaust pipe 303 on the pneumatic drive mechanism 300, and then enter the second shell 202. At the same time, because the bottom contour of the second shell 202 is arc-shaped, when the liquid droplets in the steam condense on the inner wall of the second shell 202 due to centrifugal force, they can fall quickly.

[0064] Furthermore, the cam 206 is sleeved on the outer wall of the cylinder 205. When rotating, it periodically abuts against the inner wall of the second shell 202, causing the second shell 202 to vibrate periodically, thereby causing the liquid droplets condensed on the second shell 202 to fall down along the inner wall at an accelerated speed.

[0065] Furthermore, the drive shaft 207 connects the bevel gear 209 and the cylinder 205, transmitting rotational power to the centrifugal exhaust assembly. When the bevel gear 209 rotates, it drives the cylinder 205 to rotate synchronously through the drive shaft 207.

[0066] Furthermore, the vent pipe 107 is connected to the vent hole of the housing 202. When the separated gas is discharged, it enters the vent pipe 107 through the vent hole and is finally discharged from the separator body 100.

[0067] The outlet pipe 102 is located at the bottom of the outer wall of the separator body 100 and is used to discharge the water at the bottom of the separator body 100. The separator body 100 is provided with a water level valve assembly that opens or closes the opening of the outlet pipe 102 according to the water level.

[0068] The water level valve assembly includes a connecting rod 103 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the separator body 100. A float 104 is hinged to the other end of the connecting rod 103. A connecting rod 105 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the float 104. A flow baffle 106 is fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting rod 105.

[0069] The separator body 100 has sliding grooves fixed on both sides of the opening of the liquid outlet pipe 102 on the inner wall of the separator body 100, and the flow baffle 106 is slidably connected to the separator body 100 through the sliding grooves.

[0070] The float 104 rises and falls with the water level inside the separator body 100, and transmits the displacement to the baffle plate 106 through the connecting rod 103. When the water level rises, the buoyancy of the float 104 increases, causing the connecting rod 103 to rotate around the hinge point.

[0071] Furthermore, the second connecting rod 105 converts the vertical displacement of the float 104 into the horizontal sliding of the baffle plate 106. The groove fixed to the inner wall of the separator body 100 provides guidance for the baffle plate 106, ensuring its smooth sliding. The baffle plate 106 is connected to the separator body 100 through the groove to avoid tilting or jamming, and controls the opening and closing of the outlet pipe 102. When the water level at the bottom of the separator body 100 rises, the float 104 rises with the water level, and the second connecting rod 105 drives the baffle plate 106 to slide along the groove, thereby opening the outlet pipe 102 to drain water. After the water level drops, the baffle plate 106 resets and closes under the action of gravity.

[0072] In summary, the gas-liquid separation mechanism 200 transmits rotational power to the centrifugal exhaust assembly through the meshing of bevel gear 209 and bevel gear 3075 of the pneumatic drive mechanism 300. The cylinder 205 drives the spiral blades 208 and cam 206 to rotate at high speed. The spiral blades 208 generate centrifugal force to separate droplets, and the cam 206 intermittently abuts against the inner wall of the housing 202, accelerating the droplet descent. The housing 201 and housing 202 are detachably connected via mounting piece 204 for easy maintenance, and the connecting plate 203 ensures unidirectional airflow. In the water level valve assembly, the float 104 monitors the water level and automatically controls the drainage of the outlet pipe 102 through the linkage of connecting rod 103, connecting rod 205, and baffle plate 106, maintaining a stable separation space. The entire system achieves self-driven utilization of steam kinetic energy, efficient centrifugal separation, and intelligent water level management.
