Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of gas compression fluid mechanical equipment, and more specifically relates to an independent air intake box of a screw air compressor. Background Art

[0002] Screw air compressor is a kind of efficient and reliable compressed air equipment. Its working principle is based on the principle of volumetric compression. The air is compressed by the rotation of two intermeshing screws in the casing. Specifically, when the screw rotates in the casing, the volume between its teeth changes continuously, thereby sucking in and compressing the air. This compression process is carried out in a closed system, ensuring the purity and pressure stability of the compressed air.

[0003] Traditional air compressors generally install the air filter assembly directly inside the entire machine case. This method causes the internal temperature of the air compressor to be high, which in turn increases the intake temperature. Excessively high intake temperature will cause the density of the hot air to decrease, thereby reducing the intake volume, which directly affects the exhaust volume and compression efficiency of the air compressor; for example, a compressor intake air filter system (CN201621136358.8) disclosed in a Chinese invention patent document improves the intake efficiency of the compressor host and the working stability of the entire machine by adding an independent intake bellows and a pre-filter, thereby improving the intake quality and the service life of the compressor host; however, the pre-filter of this solution may be clogged due to long-term use, and the air duct may increase the resistance of the air flow, especially in tortuous or long pipes, which may have a negative impact on the intake efficiency.

[0007] The air inlet box also includes a box body, an air outlet and a dust removal device. The air outlet is arranged on a side of the box body away from the air inlet. The dust removal device is arranged on the side of the air inlet and can remove residual dust or flocs on the surface of the pre-filter to prevent dust or flocs from adhering to the surface of the pre-filter.

[0008] The air inlet box is installed outside the screw air compressor to reduce the intake air temperature and avoid affecting the exhaust volume and compression efficiency of the air compressor.

[0009] As a further improvement of the utility model, a number of evenly arranged guide plates are respectively provided on the upper and lower parts of the box body, and the upper guide plates and the lower guide plates are staggered to ensure that the airflow can flow along a predetermined path inside the box body, avoiding excessive concentration or sparse airflow in local areas, thereby improving the uniformity of the airflow; at the same time, a number of evenly arranged guide plates can also reduce the noise transmitted from the air filter assembly.

[0010] As a further improvement of the utility model, the dust removal device includes a cylinder, a plurality of push rods and a cover plate, the cylinder is detachably mounted on the top of the box body, one end of the push rod is connected to the cylinder output end, and the other end is detachably connected to the upper part of the cover plate; a mesh plate is provided on the side of the air inlet, and the pre-filter is detachably mounted in the middle of the mesh plate; the height of the cover plate is half of the height of the mesh plate, the cover plate is close to the mesh plate, and is slidably connected to the mesh plate, and can respectively close the mesh plates in the upper and lower areas of the pre-filter, thereby achieving the effect of cutting off the connection between the inside of the box body and the outside world at the mesh plate and the gas entering the box body blowing the pre-filter along the guide plate.

[0011] As a further improvement of the utility model, a connecting rod 1 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the cover plate, and a connecting rod 2 is hingedly connected to the lower part of the connecting rod; a wind shield is hingedly connected to the lower part of the connecting rod, and the wind shield is slidably connected to the surface of the guide plate near the air inlet; the wind shield moves down synchronously after the cover plate moves down, so that when the cover plate blocks the mesh plate below the pre-filter, the gas in a larger space is diverted to the mesh plate above the pre-filter, thereby achieving the purpose of purging the pre-filter.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the cylinder is electrically connected to a PLC controller for controlling the cylinder to drive the cover plate to move.

[0013] As a further improvement of the utility model, the lower portion of the wind shield has an arc-shaped profile for guiding the gas to flow upward along the wind shield.

[0024] The air inlet box 1 is installed outside the screw air compressor to reduce the intake temperature and avoid the reduction of the density of the hot air due to excessively high intake temperature, thereby reducing the intake volume and affecting the exhaust volume and compression efficiency of the air compressor.

[0025] Specifically, Figure 2 A plurality of evenly arranged guide plates 15 are respectively provided at the upper and lower parts of the box body 12, and the upper guide plates 15 and the lower guide plates 15 are staggered to ensure that the airflow can flow along a predetermined path inside the box body 12, avoiding excessive concentration or sparseness of the airflow in a local area, thereby improving the uniformity of the airflow; at the same time, a plurality of evenly arranged guide plates 15 can also reduce the noise transmitted from the air filter assembly 3; stable air intake and low noise help to reduce vibration and impact inside the equipment, thereby improving the overall stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0026] Specifically, Figure 3-4 The dust removal device 14 includes a cylinder 141, a plurality of push rods 142 and a cover plate 143. The cylinder 141 is detachably mounted on the top of the box body 12. One end of the push rod 142 is connected to the output end of the cylinder 141, and the other end is detachably connected to the upper part of the cover plate 143. A mesh plate 18 is provided on the side of the air inlet 11, and the pre-filter 2 is detachably mounted in the middle of the mesh plate 18. The height of the cover plate 143 is half of the height of the mesh plate 18. The cover plate 143 is close to the mesh plate 18 and is slidably connected to the mesh plate 18. When the cylinder 141 When the cover plate 143 is driven to move upward, the mesh plate 18 in the upper area of ​​the pre-filter 2 will be closed, cutting off the connection between the inside of the box 12 and the outside at the mesh plate 18, so that the air intake of the air intake box 1 all enters from the pre-filter 2, and it is in the air intake state at this time; when the cylinder 141 drives the cover plate 143 to move downward, the mesh plate 18 in the lower area of ​​the pre-filter 2 will be closed.
