Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a natural gas boosting switch device and a boosting pump thereof. Background Art

[0002] A natural gas booster pump is a device used to boost the pressure of natural gas. It is usually used in natural gas transmission and distribution systems to increase the pressure of natural gas so that it can pass through the transmission pipeline smoothly. A natural gas booster pump can boost natural gas from a lower pressure to a higher pressure to meet the needs of transmission and use.

[0003] The working principle of the existing natural gas booster pump is to use the rotation of the impeller to generate centrifugal force to pressurize the natural gas entering the pump body. When the natural gas enters the pump body of the booster pump, the impeller starts to rotate, and the blades on the impeller generate centrifugal force on the natural gas, which puts pressure on the natural gas, thereby achieving pressurization. The pressurized natural gas is transported to the delivery pipeline through the pump shaft to meet the needs of transportation and use.

[0004] The specific working process of the natural gas booster pump is as follows: 1. Natural gas enters the pump body of the booster pump from the inlet; 2. The impeller starts to rotate, and the blades generate centrifugal force on the natural gas; 3. Under the action of centrifugal force, the natural gas pressure gradually increases; 4. The pressurized natural gas is transported to the delivery pipeline through the pump shaft; 5. The natural gas is output from the outlet of the delivery pipeline to meet usage needs.

[0005] From the above, it can be seen that the existing natural gas pressurized transportation generally uses the action of the pump body impeller to increase the natural gas pressure, and its pressurization method is generally external pressurization, which puts forward higher requirements on the sealing of the connected booster pump, and requires a more reliable and precise sealing system to prevent natural gas leakage.

[0008] A natural gas boost switch device comprises: a sliding groove; a switch member slidingly arranged in the sliding groove; at least three pipelines respectively connected to the sliding groove; a through groove arranged on the switch member; when the switch member slides in the sliding groove when the piston of a boost pump is squeezed and reset, the through groove on the switch member can be controlled to be connected to two adjacent pipelines respectively to control the inflow and reflux of oil.

[0009] The utility model is further configured as follows: the pipeline includes a pipe A, a pipe B, a pipe C, and also includes a reversing valve connected to the pipe B.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "page", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0025] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0026] In the description of the present utility model, "multiple" means two or more than two, unless otherwise clearly specified and specifically defined. In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal connection of two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a natural gas booster pump comprises a pump barrel 1. A control device 2 is arranged in the middle of the pump barrel 1. A pump shaft 3 is arranged in the pump barrel 1 for reciprocating sliding. The control device 2 is used to control the execution of the reciprocating motion of the pump shaft 3.

[0029] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in order to provide a more reliable and better sealed pressurization method, the present application is provided with pistons 4 at both ends of the pump shaft 3, and the pump shaft 3 is provided with an oil passage 5 on one side of the piston 4. The oil passage 5 is annular and is provided on the circumference of the pump shaft 3. As described above, the oil passage is divided into two by the control device 2, which are respectively provided on both sides of the control device 2 and are independently provided.

[0030] As described above, when the oil passage 5 on one side is filled with liquid, the oil pressure on that side can be increased, thereby driving the pump shaft 3 to move by hydraulic means, and the oil passage 5 on the other side is arranged in the same corresponding manner. Through the process of alternating liquid filling and liquid return of the oil passages on both sides, the pump shaft 3 in the pump barrel 1 is made to reciprocate.

[0031] Correspondingly, both ends of the pump barrel 1 are provided with an inlet 6 for the natural gas to enter the pump barrel 1 and an outlet 7 for the natural gas to be pressed out of the pump barrel 1. A one-way valve (not shown) can be provided at both the inlet 6 and the outlet 7 to prevent gas backflow, so that the natural gas is in a one-way pressurized flow state.

[0032] When the piston 4 connected to the pump shaft 3 moves, the natural gas is sucked into the pump barrel 1. After that, the piston 4 pushes the natural gas out at a higher speed by squeezing, thereby increasing the pressure and flow rate of the natural gas to achieve the purpose of pressurization.

[0033] Under the above settings, the natural gas is pressurized and accelerated corresponding to the flow of oil by means of pressure monitoring of the control device 2 and other methods. At this time, the natural gas is pressurized no longer by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the impeller, but by pressurizing the pump barrel 1 to increase the flow rate and pressure of the natural gas. Compared with the impeller-type pressurization, the method described in this application requires only fewer seals and can achieve the technical purpose without a more sophisticated sealing system, thereby improving the sealing and reliability.

[0034] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, in order to control the flow of oil and drive the pump shaft 3 to reciprocate through the flow of oil, the control device 2 described in the present application includes a housing 8. A flow channel 9 for oil inlet and return and a boost switch device 10 are provided at the position of the housing 8 corresponding to the oil channel.

[0035] The boost switch device 10 includes a sliding groove 11. A switch member 12 is slidingly arranged in the sliding groove 11. The switch member 12 is slidingly arranged in the sliding groove 11. The top of the sliding groove 11 is connected with tube A13, tube B14 and tube C15 respectively. Among them, tube A13 is an oil inlet pipe, tube B14 is a reversing oil pipe corresponding to the reversing valve 17, and tube C15 is an oil return pipe. Corresponding to the above-mentioned tubes A13, B14 and C15. A through groove 16 is arranged on the switch member 12. A reset spring (not shown) is also arranged between the switch member 12 and the sliding groove 11 to ensure that the switch member 12 is in a state of passing through the sliding groove 11 in the initial state.

[0036] Corresponding to the above status, this application is set as:

[0037] In the initial state of the switch member 12, the through groove 16 connects the pipe B14 and the pipe C15, and the oil flows from the pipe B14 into the pipe C15. The pipe C15 is connected to the corresponding oil pump body so that the oil is pumped out.

[0038] In the working state when the switch member 12 is pressed by the piston 4, the switch member 12 enters the sliding groove 11, so that the through groove 16 connects the pipe A13 and the pipe B14. The pipe A13 connects with the corresponding oil inlet pump body, so that the oil flows along the pipe A13 into the pipe B14 for oil inlet, and the oil enters the reversing valve 17, and pushes the reversing valve 17 to work so that the oil enters the flow channel 9, and finally enters the oil channel 5, squeezes the oil channel 5, and prompts the piston 4 to move and squeeze the natural gas to be discharged from the gas outlet 7.

[0039] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the oil pumping and oil intake processes are carried out reciprocatingly, so that the pump shaft 3 is in a reciprocating motion state, natural gas is pumped in, and pressurized to be discharged. Moreover, the whole is in a closed state, and only the connection between the oil pump body and the liquid intake pump body needs to be provided with corresponding seals, and the movement of natural gas is realized in the one-piece formed pump barrel 1, which reduces the risk and possibility of natural gas leakage and improves the reliability, safety and sealing of the operation of the device.

[0040] It should be noted that:

[0041] This application provides one possible oil operation mode, such as Figure 8 As shown, the oil pump of prior art can also be used.

[0042] The operation mode of the oil in the oil pump of this application is the prior art, so it will not be described in detail.

[0043] The reversing valve 17 described in this application is no different from the prior art, so it will not be described in detail.

[0044] The internal piping design in the control device 2 of the present application can be adjusted according to actual needs, so it will not be described in detail.

[0045] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
