Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention patent application "Detachable Outlet Collector" filed on April 19, 2022, with application number 202210411088.0. Technical Field

[0002] This invention belongs to the technical field of filtration and collection devices, and more specifically, relates to a detachable outlet collector. Background Technology

[0003] An outlet collector is a filtration and collection device for the outlet of a container, and its applications include, but are not limited to, the oil refining and chemical industries. The design of an outlet collector must not only consider the ease of inspection, maintenance, disassembly, and replacement, but also ensure that the outlet collector has sufficient rigidity and load-bearing capacity.

[0004] Outlet collectors are commonly used in environments handling corrosive materials or containing catalyst particles or ceramic balls. Traditional outlet collectors employ a design of alternating gaskets and ring plates, with the ring plates typically 2mm thick. This design suffers from poor rigidity and is prone to deformation, leading to widening of localized filter gaps and filtration failure. For a total flow area of ​​1 square meter, a traditional outlet collector requires over 800 layers of alternating gaskets and ring plates. The sheer number of gaskets and ring plates necessitates stringent tooling protection measures during installation, use, and maintenance. The assembly process is extensive, demanding significant operational skills, and presents similar challenges during disassembly and reassembly for maintenance. Furthermore, traditional outlet collectors are bolted to the equipment using positioning and fixing rings, secured by a fillet weld between the fixing ring and the bottom surface of the equipment's connecting pipe. Both axial and lateral shear loads acting on the outlet collector are ultimately borne by this fillet weld. For composite plate equipment, the coating thickness of the bottom surface of the equipment body pipe is generally 3~6mm. The design standard requires that the height of this fillet weld should not exceed the coating thickness, which results in the extremely limited load-bearing capacity of this fillet weld. For situations with large loads, this outlet collector fixing structure cannot guarantee strength. Summary of the Invention

According to the stability check of the external pressure cylinder in section 4.3 of GB / T 150.3-2011, the thickness of the body 2011 is calculated to be δz=7mm. The outer diameter of the bottom plane of the equipment mating pipe is Dno=320mm, the outer diameter of the positioning ring 2012 of the irregular flange 201 is Ddo=310mm, and the thickness δd of the positioning ring 2012 is greater than or equal to the thickness δz of the body 2011 of the irregular flange 201. Therefore, the actual thickness of the positioning ring 2012 is taken as δd=15mm.

[0044] The stiffening ribs 202 are evenly arranged around the circumference of the body 2011 of the irregular flange 201. The number of stiffening ribs 202 is less than or equal to the number of studs 2061, and in actual design, it depends on whether the number of studs 2061 is odd or even. For example, when the number of studs 2061 is set to 8, the stiffening ribs 202 can be 8, 4, or even 2 and arranged symmetrically. When the number of studs 2061 is set to 5, the number of stiffening ribs 202 is the same as the number of studs 2061, and they are arranged at equal intervals and staggered with the studs 2061. The thickness of the stiffening ribs 202 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the body 2011. In this embodiment, the thickness of the stiffening ribs 202 is taken as δj=10mm. The stiffening ribs 202 effectively enhance the structural strength of the irregular flange 201 and further improve the rigidity of the outlet collector 2.

[0045] Optional, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the outer diameter Do of the flange 2013 of the irregular flange 201 is calculated using the following formula: ; Where Db is the diameter of the bolt circle formed by multiple studs 2061, and Le is the maximum outer radius of the nut 2062; The thickness of flange 2013 is initially calculated based on the design thickness of end cap 207. The finite element model is constructed using the irregular flange 201 and stiffener 202 as a whole, and the stress distribution is calculated using the elastic stress analysis method. The overall membrane stress intensity and the combined membrane and bending stress intensity of the irregular flange 201 are calculated. When the stress intensity exceeds the stress intensity limit, the calculation is repeated by increasing the thickness of flange 2013 and / or increasing the thickness of stiffener 202 and / or increasing the number of stiffener 202 up to the maximum number of studs 2061, until the overall membrane stress intensity is less than the stress intensity limit and the combined membrane and bending stress intensity is less than the stress intensity limit. The final thickness of flange 2013 is then obtained under the condition that the overall membrane stress intensity is less than the stress intensity limit and the combined membrane and bending stress intensity is less than the stress intensity limit.

[0046] Specifically, the thickness δf of the flange 2013 of the irregular flange 201 is determined through trial calculation: First, the initial thickness of the flange 2013 is assumed to be the thickness δpn of the end cap 207, i.e., δf = δpn = 34mm. By modeling the irregular flange 201 and the stiffener 202 as a whole using finite element method and calculating the stress distribution using elastic stress analysis, and classifying the stress distribution according to Section 5.2 of JB4732-1995, the primary overall membrane stress intensity SI and the primary membrane plus primary bending stress intensity SIII of the irregular flange 201 are calculated. By increasing the thickness of the flange 2013 and / or increasing the thickness of the stiffener 202 and / or increasing the number of stiffeners 202 with the number of studs 2061 as the upper limit, repeated calculations are performed. When the calculation results satisfy that the primary overall membrane stress intensity SI is less than the stress intensity limit value KSm, and the primary membrane plus primary bending stress intensity SIII is less than the stress intensity limit value 1.5KSm, the thickness δf = 34mm of the flange 2013 of the irregular flange 201 meets the strength requirements.

While meeting the strength requirements of the outlet collector, the design of the relevant dimensions of each structure is optimized, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.
