Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of gas filters, in particular to a filtering mechanism for purification. Background Art

[0002] Natural gas is a new energy source, the main component of which is methane, and it also contains a small amount of ethane, propane and butane. After combustion, the dye will produce carbon dioxide and water, but natural gas contains a small amount of solid impurities and moisture. Therefore, during the transmission of natural gas, the natural gas needs to be filtered to remove impurities in the natural gas, thereby improving the combustion efficiency of the natural gas and preventing solid impurities from entering the combustion device, causing blockage or damage to the device.

[0003] Because when the filter device filters natural gas, the air inlet connector is directly connected to the filter element without a buffer area in the middle, solid impurities and a mixture of water will accumulate on the inner wall of the first filter element, reducing the filtering capacity of the filter element. The large-flow airflow is directly pressurized inside the filter element, which is not conducive to the shedding of impurities attached to the inner wall of the filter element. Therefore, after a period of use, the filter element needs to be removed and then cleaned or replaced. When removing it, the upper cover needs to be opened before the filter element can be taken out. This process is complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive. In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application document provides a purification filtering mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a filtering mechanism for purification. Through the combination of an outer cylinder, a cyclone and a first filter element, filtered impurities and water can be separated from the buffer space below the cyclone by gravity, effectively reducing the cleaning frequency of the first filter element.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model is realized by the following technical solutions:

[0015] 3. The utility model installs a pressure gauge on the upper cover to measure the air pressure in the outer cylinder above the circular plate, and evaluates whether the first filter element 5 and the second filter element 7 need to be replaced based on the pressure value here.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model. Specific embodiment one:

[0027] See also Figure 1-5As shown, the utility model is a filtering mechanism for purification, comprising an outer cylinder 1 and an upper cover 2 connected as one body by bolts. An air inlet joint 11 and an air outlet joint 12 are fixed through the outer wall of the outer cylinder 1. The lower end of the outer cylinder 1 is set as a cone 13. An outer discharge pipe 14 is installed at the bottom of the cone 13. A ball valve 3 is installed on the outer discharge pipe 14. A cyclone 4 that blows air downward and guides air upward in the middle is fixed on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1. A first filter element 5 is installed on the upper end of the cyclone 4. An L-shaped adapter 6 that is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the air outlet joint 12 is arranged inside the outer cylinder 1. A second filter element 7 is installed on the L-shaped adapter 6. By installing the cyclone 4 in the outer cylinder 1, the air inlet joint 11 directly passes through the cyclone 4 to guide the airflow downward for preliminary impurity removal, and then the airflow enters the first filter element 5 from the center of the cyclone 4 upward for equal pressure filtration. The filtered impurities and water can rely on gravity to separate from the buffer space below the cyclone 4, effectively reducing the cleaning frequency of the first filter element 5 and reducing the difficulty of maintenance.

[0028] The cyclone 4 includes a circular plate 41 and an annular plate 44 which are arranged in parallel and fixed on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1. The circular plate 41 is located above the annular plate 44, and the air inlet connector 11 is placed between the circular plate 41 and the annular plate 44. The lower surface of the circular plate 41 and the inner annular surface of the annular plate 44 are connected by a cylinder 42. The circular plate 41 is penetrated and fixed with a filter element connector 43 which is deviated from the axis, and the filter element connector 43 is connected with the inner cavity of the cylinder 42. The annular plate 44 is provided with oblique air guide holes 45 which are evenly distributed in an annular shape. The oblique air guide holes 45 are fixed with oblique guide flat tubes 8. The lower end of the oblique guide flat tube 8 is provided with an arc cutout 81 which is coaxially arranged with the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1 on one side close to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1. The combination of the cyclone 4 and the oblique guide flat tube 8 forms a spiral airflow in the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1 and the cone 13 at the lower end, and the arc cutout 81 opened in the oblique guide flat tube 8 effectively increases the contact area between the spiral airflow and the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1, effectively improving the efficiency of particles entering the outer discharge pipe 14 below along the spiral line, and removing large particles.

[0029] The first filter element 5 specifically uses a natural gas filter element made of microfiber filter material to remove impurities, including liquid and solid particles in the gas, to ensure cleanliness and safe transportation in the pipeline.

[0030] The second filter element 7 specifically uses an activated carbon natural gas filter element to remove harmful substances in the gas, such as hydrogen sulfide, so as to protect the environment and human health.

[0031] Among them, a pressure gauge is also installed on the upper cover 2 to measure the air pressure in the outer cylinder 1 above the circular plate 41, that is, the pressure of the natural gas after passing through the first filter element 5 but not through the second filter element 7. The pressure value here is used to evaluate whether the status of the first filter element 5 and the second filter element 7 needs to be replaced.
