Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of natural gas filtering, in particular to a natural gas filtering device. Background Art

[0002] In the gas transmission pipeline, it is usually necessary to install a natural gas filter device. The natural gas filter device includes an air inlet and an air outlet, and a filter structure is arranged between the air inlet and the air outlet. When the gas enters the natural gas filter device through the air inlet, the impurities therein will be blocked by the filter structure, and the filtered gas will be discharged from the air outlet of the natural gas filter device.

[0003] Natural gas is mainly composed of hydrocarbon gases such as methane, but it is also mixed with certain impurities and particulate matter, such as water, sulfide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, etc. These impurities and particulate matter will cause certain harm to downstream equipment and the environment. For example, water will corrode and condense pipelines and equipment, and carbon dioxide and hydrogen will affect the calorific value and safety of gas. In addition, a large amount of iron powder will be generated during the construction and operation of natural gas pipelines. A large amount of iron powder will accumulate in the natural gas filter, which will cause unstable gas pressure for users and impure gas combustion flames. At present, when installing the natural gas filter device, the filter structure is first installed on the pipe body of the natural gas filter device through the installation port, and then the installation port is sealed through the end cover. When replacing the filter element, the end cover needs to be removed and replaced, but the end cover is inconvenient to disassemble and install, and multiple screws need to be removed to remove the end cover, which makes the replacement or maintenance of the filter structure very inconvenient.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] Please refer to the attached Figure 1-Figure 3 Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] The utility model provides a natural gas filtering device. Before use, a sealing door 9 is clamped in a semicircular opening, and a spring 3 is in a slightly compressed state. The sealing door 9 is tightly fitted in the semicircular opening by the rebound force of the spring 3. The outer surface of the sealing door 9 is flush with the outer surface of the cylinder 5. When using the device, the handle is pulled outward, and the handle drives the sealing door 9 to slide along the semicircular opening toward the direction of the L-shaped plate 1 through the square rod 4. The sealing door 9 drives a pair of guide rods 10 to slide outward along the L-shaped plate 1 and the rectangular plate 2. When the spring 3 is pulled outward, the sealing door 9 is pushed back and forth. When the spring 3 is in a fully compressed state, the sealing door 9 is completely separated from the semicircular opening and has a certain distance from the outer surface of the cylinder 5. The handle is pulled counterclockwise, and the handle drives the L-shaped plate 1 to rotate through the square rod 4 and a pair of guide rods 10. The L-shaped plate 1 drives the annular ring 8 to rotate along the annular groove. When the groove of the sealing door 9 is inserted into the baffle 11, stop pulling the handle and slowly release the handle. The resilience of the spring 3 pushes the sealing door 9 to fit the outer side of the cylinder 5. At this time, the movable door 9 rotates 180°, and the semicircular opening of the cylinder 5 is completely exposed. Figure 1 As shown, the embedded handle of the circular shell 6 is used to align one end of the filter element with the semicircular opening, and the circular shell 6 is pushed inward. The circular shell 6 slides along the semicircular groove 12 into the cylinder 5. After the arc-shaped clamping plate 7 of the circular shell 6 is completely inserted into the arc-shaped clamping groove 13, the embedded handle is retracted. At this time, the circular shell 6 and the filter element are completely located in the semicircular groove 12. The handle is pulled again to drive the sealing door 9 to separate from the outer surface of the cylinder 5. The handle is turned 180° clockwise, and the annular ring 8 rotates in the opposite direction. The sealing door 9 is aligned with the semicircular opening, and the handle is slowly released. The resilience of the spring 3 pushes the sealing door 9 to slide inward along the semicircular opening until the outer side of the sealing door 9 is flush with the outer side of the cylinder 5, and the sealing door 9 presses the semicircular shell 6. Figure 2 As shown, the valve of the air inlet pipe 15 is opened, and the natural gas passes through the large filter mesh, powder adsorption layer, drying layer and gas filter layer of the filter element in sequence. The iron powder and other powder impurities remaining in the pipeline are adsorbed by the powder adsorption layer to avoid affecting the subsequent combustion of the natural gas. The moisture in the natural gas is adsorbed by the drying layer to ensure the dryness of the natural gas and avoid the subsequent combustion of the natural gas affected by moisture. The harmful gases (such as sulfide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen) in the natural gas are filtered by the gas filter layer to ensure the safety of the natural gas during combustion. The filtered gas is discharged through the outlet pipe 16. When the filter element needs to be replaced, the valves of the air inlet pipe 15 and the air outlet pipe 16 are closed first, and the handle is pulled outward to open the sealing door 9. The saturated filter element is taken out through the embedded handle of the filter element, and a new filter element is placed in and the sealing door 9 is closed. The operation process is the same as above and will not be repeated. It replaces the cumbersome steps of disassembling the end cover to replace the filter element in the traditional way, and the filter element can be replaced faster and more efficiently.
